MURDER MINDFULLY
[groans faintly]
[upbeat music playing]
[Björn] When my clients
brush off accusations
of crimes they may
or may not have committed,
I advise them to act
like nothing's changed.
You don't want to draw
attention to yourself.
Just stick to your usual routine.
[car chirps]
That said, my car wasn't exactly sparking
joy these days, so I took the subway.
It wasn't the most relaxing ride.
I felt like everyone was staring,
like they could tell what I'd done.
[tense music playing]
The fact that there was media
coverage didn't help matters.
BLOODY HORROR AT SERVICE STATION
At least I was able
to breathe away my stress.
[breathing deeply]
[tense music fades]
But tension was brewing, and not everyone
dealt with it as mindfully as I did.
LAWYER CALLING
[cell phone ringing]
- [Björn] Diemel.
- Hey, lawyer. It's Murat.
- Can we meet at the game reserve?
- I'm kinda busy.
Why don't you tell me what's on your mind?
Not over the phone.
It's about the Dragan thing.
Okay.
So, 8:30 tonight?
Uh, by the food dispenser?
[tense music playing]
Hey, Diemel?
- Sure, sounds good.
- [Toni] Murat!
- [tense music stops]
- [Murat] Shit.
What the hell?
We all thought you were outside.
[distant lively music playing]
What's going on?
Just pissing here.
That's twice in one hour.
[tense music playing]
You wouldn't fuck with me, right?
[elevator bell dings]
[upbeat music playing]
- Morning, Diemel.
- Good morning.
Morning.
[Bregenz] Mr. Diemel.
[upbeat music stops]
Not so fast.
Please go to conference room one now.
Thanks.
Tell me, what do you have to say
about last weekend, hm?
[Björn] Uh, about which part?
The time I hid a murderer in my trunk?
Or when I stuffed his body
in a wood chipper?
Could you be a little more specific?
You attacked Ms. Bregenz.
Poor gal's humiliated.
[chuckles]
Do you find this funny?
Um, yeah.
If you knew everything
I got up to last weekend,
you'd be cracking up
that this is why I'm in trouble.
Ms. Bregenz has worked here
for two decades, and we treasure her.
Because you're a lawyer
doesn't mean you're better.
And also, Mr. Diemel,
these offices are not a daycare center.
[voice distorting] Your daughter scribbled
all over company property
- [breathing deeply]
- [meditative music playing]
Work relationships are not always easy
to navigate, but we can manage them.
When your colleagues get on your nerves,
I want you to resist the impulse
to let that frustration fester.
Instead, try to listen to your colleagues.
Focus on what they're saying.
Try and hold space for
how they're feeling,
what makes them tick,
and what values they hold.
Let them talk.
Mm.
[inhaling]
- [meditative music stops]
- [exhales quickly]
First off, Ms. Bregenz reprimanded me
in front of my daughter.
And I responded in kind.
She and I can clear this whole thing up
between the two of us if you wish.
Ms. Bregenz is not the person
at fault here, for God's sake.
The way you insulted her borders
on workplace sexual discrimination.
We will not abide such things
to occur under this roof.
You know that we abhor sexism.
- Thank you for sharing, Mr. Erkel.
- That's Dr. Erkel.
As for the female partners
and your stance on workplace sexism,
do they agree as well?
As I'm sure you're aware,
there aren't female partners.
Ah.
So much for abhorring sexism.
What What's that supposed to mean?
[intriguing music playing]
It just seems strange to me
that there isn't one woman
who meets your standards, not one.
So don't pretend
you're some bastion of feminism.
I forbid you to use this tone
You can't forbid me from speaking my mind.
I've let them ramble plenty,
don't you think?
It's my turn to speak.
This client has made you all wealthy.
This client also burned a man to a crisp,
while 50 kids watched.
But no, why discuss that crap while we
could all be focusing on a secretary?
We only collect this guy's money,
why should we care?
That's how you mindfully gain control.
[intriguing music stops]
If you have a problem you can always quit.
I feel like Mr. Sergowicz
wouldn't be a fan of that.
That's how you get 'em in your pocket.
We'll, uh, get to your client in a moment.
My client?
- But I'm not even a partner.
- [intriguing music playing]
Since this is your firm, you're the ones
who launder that psycho's money.
If the papers caught wind
of all the crap you do
protecting a pimping drug lord,
all the tax breaks you get him,
that hag in the lobby
wouldn't cross your mind.
[men chattering indistinctly]
[man clears his throat]
You signed an NDA.
I did. But your client didn't.
Eh Uh Was that a threat, Diemel?
No, I would never.
I'm just saying that
if he gets sent to jail,
and if he were to feel like
he wound up there
because his lawyer
was canned from his job,
I could see him
feeling let down by your firm.
Yeah.
We all know Mr. Sergowicz has
a certain unorthodox way of handling pain.
WANTED! WHO KNOWS THIS CRIMINAL?
And the best part
is beating them at their own game.
[intriguing music stops]
Do you have a plan?
Let's face the facts.
You want me gone, I want to go.
Why should we hold each other back?
May I speak frankly?
I don't want to work with Sergowicz
any more than you guys do.
But I know he trusts me.
So, here's what I think.
You terminate my contract,
and I'll finish out the month.
I'll be a freelancer,
and Sergowicz'll come with me.
And Uh How will you guarantee this?
How will you make sure he
sees your point of view?
I'll have him sign a contract.
We can draw up an NDA for him.
He'll be open to that?
I've got a way with him.
And that's that?
Well, I mean, I think it's only fair
that you'd find it in your hearts
to honor our ten years
of close collaboration,
don't you agree?
A small severance payment.
Something right around ten months' salary?
- [men chuckling]
- [man] Oh, my.
- You really have some nerve.
- [men chuckling]
You should all take some time
to consider my offer.
I'm sure that I'll be speaking
with Sergowicz later this afternoon.
Goodbye for now.
[upbeat music playing]
[muttering]
[Björn] I had no doubt that the three
gentlemen would accept my bold proposal.
So I confidently packed away
my few personal belongings.
I also made copies of all emails,
documents, and records
relating to Dragan's
wide-ranging business dealings,
with the wise foresight
that I might need them.
245 ELEMENTS COPIED
To believably keep him alive,
I also needed to secure
the blank powers of attorney
that Dragan once signed
in case of emergencies.
I think this counts
as an emergency, don't you?
- [breathing deeply]

[cell phone ringing]
ACCEP
[ringing stops]
[faint dance music playing over speaker]
- [glass shatters]
- [Tyson barks]
Why can't he pick up his goddamn phone?
[whimpering]
We're on the verge of a war,
and that bastard's off somewhere,
- twiddling his balls!
- [Tyson barks and whimpers]
Let me talk with him.
[Toni] Hm?
I think he might listen to me, ya know?
[Toni sighs]
Sure, be my guest. Who cares?
[groans faintly]
[upbeat music playing]
[Björn] I may not be a DIY guy,
but I do like hardware stores.
They attract people
who take things into their own hands.
People who live in the now and aren't
afraid to shape their own future.
[cell phone ringing]
ACCEP
Yeah?
[von Dresen] Diemel? Von Dresen here.
We will accept your offer.
- The whole offer?
- Yes, we'll accommodate your terms.
You'll receive the requested severance,
and leave with Mr. Sergowicz.
We'll require his written confirmation
that he has only ever been your client,
and he will remain so,
thus releasing the firm.
This voids any claims that your client
could make against our firm.
Sounds good.
The contract is on my desk. You can
sign it when you're back from lunch.
Yeah, I don't think
I'll be coming back in today.
We still expect you
to be here when we see fit.
You can fire me
if you don't like my terms.
Never mind.
Just come by whenever you can.
I will. I'll see you then.
[upbeat music stops]
[man] Lawyer.
[tense music playing]
You been well?
Yeah.
Something wrong with your car?
No.
I'm working
on my carbon footprint, actually.
Toni's been getting nervous.
You keep dodging all his calls.
What's with that?
It's not intentional. I wish I could pick
up the phone, but I'm too swamped.
Okay.
If you could find the time to speak
with Dragan, we'd appreciate it.
We need his orders ASAP.
- Sure.
- [inspector] Have your tickets ready.
Is that everything?
See you around, lawyer.
SINGLE TICKE
- [gentle rock music playing]
- [inspector] Tickets out, please.
[gentle rock music continues]
[music stops]
[Björn] I had almost everything I needed
to get my plan in action.
Dragan's signature
would work on the suits,
but his thumb was the real key.
Unfortunately, it was currently
slowly decomposing in my fridge.
I needed to somehow
immortalize that thumb.
I had to get creative.
[groans]
[grunting]
[groans]
[straining]
[grunts]
Shit!
[breathing deeply]
A common challenge
found in mindfulness is impatience,
as this blocks us from being present.
If you sense that you're becoming
impatient, accept it.
- Acknowledge the feeling.
- [meditative music playing]
Judging yourself is counterproductive.
Pause and say this simple phrase.
I am calm.
[breathing deeply]
Now it's your turn.
- I am calm.
- [Joschka] And again.
[Björn] I am calm.
[Joschka] That's better. Again.
- [Björn] I am calm.
- [retching]
[Joschka] Good.
Don't give into impatience,
refuse to let it consume you.
Instead, return to that place of serenity.
- [Björn breathing deeply]
- Let yourself be calm.
[Björn] I am calm.
- [Joschka] Good, good.
- [dryer whirring]

[ringing continues]
Hello, Katharina.
[Katharina] Oh, wow.
- I assumed I would get your voicemail.
- [Björn] Mm.
I'm turning over a new leaf.
Yeah, but you must be swamped, right?
Since your favorite client's
making headlines.
The only time I've seen him lately was
on the front page of some tabloid.
And with him in the wind,
my schedule is open.
- Sounds like the calm before the storm?
- [Björn] Hm.
Maybe.
I'm sure you're already stressed out,
but I need to talk with you tomorrow.
Think you can make time?
It's about kindergarten.
Yeah, I'll come by the house. For sure.
- Really?
- Don't sound so surprised.
Well, I thought
I'd have to butter you up a bit.
Mmm, no way. Save your butter.
Um how's 12 p.m.?
Perfect. Oh, I almost forgot.
Emmy was saying something about
some kind of toy bird she lost?
- Could she have left it in your car?
- Uh maybe.
- I can go check.
- That'd be great.
- Thanks.
- Okay.
All right.
- See ya tomorrow.
- See ya.
Yes.

[toy whistling]
I am the best papa on Earth.
I am the best papa on Earth.
[whistling]
I chopped up my client,
and I've never felt more free.
[cackling]
I chopped up my client
and I've never felt more free.
[alert on cell phone]
[toy cackles and whistles]
NEW VOICE MESSAGE
[contemplative music stops]
[Murat] What's up, lawyer? It's Murat.
Just checking if you're still coming.
- I'm at the game reserve.
- Aw, shit.

POLICE
[tense music stops]
Björn?
Björn?
FEAR
[tense music swelling and fades]
When you start feeling afraid, I want you
to concentrate and focus on your airflow.
- [meditative music playing]
- Take a deep breath in,
- and then breathe out.
- [Björn breathes deeply]
Feel your breath flowing
through your body.
Allow it to fill your nostrils,
and your abdomen.
[exhaling]
Being afraid is a part of life.
Fear's nothing but a feeling.
Just breathe it out and stay grounded.
[breathing deeply]
Focus on the present.
And the fear will pass.
[shuddering]
- [Nicole] Björn?
- [Björn] Hm?
Feeling sick, eh?
[meditative music stops]
No, why?
You're breathing weirdly.
No. It's mindfulness.
Hmm.
You really oughta work with us.
This won't be Boris' last act of revenge.
[Björn] Hm.
Could've been a hunting accident.
Maybe, if the hunter was blind.
How else could someone manage
to mix up a man with a deer?
And at close range? Close enough
to hit him in the back of the head?
[Björn] Hm.
[Nicole] Björn.
Dragan killed his rival's number two,
and now he's AWOL.
Now one of his guys gets shot?
And you just stumble into the crime scene.
This could end really bad for you.
Maybe you should chat with your client?
Yeah, maybe. The next time I see him.
- When do you think that will be?
- Not your business, I'm still his lawyer.
We know that Dragan skipped town
and someone helped him get away with it.
- [scoffs] And you think that was me?
- Well
Why would a lawyer pack up his daughter
and drive to a mafia boss' lake house?
[tense music playing]
[Emily, giggling] You can't catch me!
[tense music stops]
You put a tail on a lawyer and his kid?
Who's a minor, I might add.
- I'd love to hear you explain
- Nobody was tailing you.
My colleague happened to see you
on the pier from his boat.
- He dabbles in photography on off days.
- [camera shutter clicking]
Hm. Well, did he see Dragan there?
- Funnily enough, he didn't.
- Huh.
That could just mean
you played us that weekend.
- You're hiding Dragan in your apartment.
- Wow, you know about that?
If I have your apartment searched,
I wouldn't find Dragan, would I?
[tense music playing]
[music stops]
[chuckling] That would be
an epic bachelor pad.
You've got one creative mind.
Alas, I live all by myself.
I assume you know
my marriage has been strained, right?
Yeah, I'm sorry.
Yeah.
[sighs]
I better be on my way. But good luck.
Bye now.
[tense music playing]
[tense music swelling]
[panting]
[man on PA] Please watch the doors.
[tense music stops]
[panting]
[pounding]
[distant church bell ringing]
Yeah?
[Toni] It's Toni.
- [Björn] Uh
- [pounding]
[rapid pounding]
[Toni] Open the goddamn door.
I'll be right there. Give me five seconds.
[rapid pounding]
[whispering] Shit.
Shit.
[faintly] Oh, man
[door knob rattling]
[groans]
[tense music playing]
[door shuts]
[clattering]
[Tyson growling]
- Hello, Björn.
- Hey.
Uh
- He can't be in here.
- [Tyson snarling]
- It's in my lease, sorry, no dogs.
- Don't care.
Why won't you take my calls?
I told you, I'm busy. Hm?
See, I've got a weird feeling
you're fucking with me.
I'm not that dumb, Toni.
That so, huh? I'll be the judge of that.
[tense music continues]
[low growl]
Uh Hello?
I've gotta say, this place reeks of shit.
[growling continues]
[barking]
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
- [Tyson continues barking]
- [Björn] Hey, hey. Um
Uh, Toni?
Toni, can you help me out?
[Tyson continues barking]
I don't think your dog likes me very much.
[Toni] Yep.
- Toni!
- He's got a good nose on him.
He can always smell bullshit.
- [low growl]
- [shuddering]
[Tyson barking]
So, lawyer man, Tell me
[tense music stops]
What smells like shit?
- [Björn] Aww, good boy.
- [Tyson whimpers]
He's such a sweetheart.
[Tyson whimpers]
[tense music playing]
If I don't hear from Dragan
in the next three days,
you're a dead man.
We'll be in touch.
[bottles rattle]
- Tyson, come!
- [Tyson whimpers]
Goddamn beast.
[Tyson whimpers]
[exhales deeply]
[door shuts]
[Björn] Thanks to that "goddamn beast",
I was finally free of the telltale thumb.
Meanwhile, a different critter
[raven cawing]
flew in with a new problem.

Okay.
If you could find the time to speak
with Dragan, we'd appreciate it.
We need his orders ASAP.
- Sure.
- [inspector] Have your tickets ready.
Is that everything?
See you around, lawyer.
SINGLE TICKE
- [gentle rock music playing]
- [inspector] Tickets out, please.
[gentle rock music continues]
[music stops]
[Björn] I had almost everything I needed
to get my plan in action.
Dragan's signature
would work on the suits,
but his thumb was the real key.
Unfortunately, it was currently
slowly decomposing in my fridge.
I needed to somehow
immortalize that thumb.
I had to get creative.

Shit!
[breathing deeply]
A common challenge
found in mindfulness is impatience,
as this blocks us from being present.
If you sense that you're becoming
impatient, accept it.
- Acknowledge the feeling.
- [meditative music playing]
Judging yourself is counterproductive.
Pause and say this simple phrase.
I am calm.
[breathing deeply]
Now it's your turn.
- I am calm.
- [Joschka] And again.
[Björn] I am calm.
[Joschka] That's better. Again.
- [Björn] I am calm.
- [retching]
[Joschka] Good.
Don't give into impatience,
refuse to let it consume you.
Instead, return to that place of serenity.
- [Björn breathing deeply]
- Let yourself be calm.
[Björn] I am calm.
- [Joschka] Good, good.

ACCEP
[ringing continues]
Hello, Katharina.
[Katharina] Oh, wow.
- I assumed I would get your voicemail.
- [Björn] Mm.
I'm turning over a new leaf.
Yeah, but you must be swamped, right?
Since your favorite client's
making headlines.
The only time I've seen him lately was
on the front page of some tabloid.
And with him in the wind,
my schedule is open.
- Sounds like the calm before the storm?
- [Björn] Hm.
Maybe.
I'm sure you're already stressed out,
but I need to talk with you tomorrow.
Think you can make time?
It's about kindergarten.
Yeah, I'll come by the house. For sure.
- Really?
- Don't sound so surprised.
Well, I thought
I'd have to butter you up a bit.
Mmm, no way. Save your butter.
Um how's 12 p.m.?
Perfect. Oh, I almost forgot.
Emmy was saying something about
some kind of toy bird she lost?
- Could she have left it in your car?
- Uh maybe.
- I can go check.
- That'd be great.
- Thanks.
- Okay.
All right.
- See ya tomorrow.
- See ya.
Yes.
[contemplative music playing]

[Björn whistling]
[toy whistling]
I am the best papa on Earth.
I am the best papa on Earth.
[whistling]
I chopped up my client,
and I've never felt more free.
[cackling]
I chopped up my client
and I've never felt more free.
[alert on cell phone]
[toy cackles and whistles]
NEW VOICE MESSAGE
[contemplative music stops]
[Murat] What's up, lawyer? It's Murat.
Just checking if you're still coming.
- I'm at the game reserve.
- Aw, shit.

POLICE
[tense music stops]
Björn?
Björn?
FEAR
[tense music swelling and fades]
When you start feeling afraid, I want you
to concentrate and focus on your airflow.
- [meditative music playing]
- Take a deep breath in,
- and then breathe out.
- [Björn breathes deeply]
Feel your breath flowing
through your body.
Allow it to fill your nostrils,
and your abdomen.
[exhaling]
Being afraid is a part of life.
Fear's nothing but a feeling.
Just breathe it out and stay grounded.
[breathing deeply]
Focus on the present.
And the fear will pass.
[shuddering]
- [Nicole] Björn?
- [Björn] Hm?
Feeling sick, eh?
[meditative music stops]
No, why?
You're breathing weirdly.
No. It's mindfulness.
Hmm.
You really oughta work with us.
This won't be Boris' last act of revenge.
[Björn] Hm.
Could've been a hunting accident.
Maybe, if the hunter was blind.
How else could someone manage
to mix up a man with a deer?
And at close range? Close enough
to hit him in the back of the head?
[Björn] Hm.
[Nicole] Björn.
Dragan killed his rival's number two,
and now he's AWOL.
Now one of his guys gets shot?
And you just stumble into the crime scene.
This could end really bad for you.
Maybe you should chat with your client?
Yeah, maybe. The next time I see him.
- When do you think that will be?
- Not your business, I'm still his lawyer.
We know that Dragan skipped town
and someone helped him get away with it.
- [scoffs] And you think that was me?
- Well
Why would a lawyer pack up his daughter
and drive to a mafia boss' lake house?
[tense music playing]
[Emily, giggling] You can't catch me!
[tense music stops]
You put a tail on a lawyer and his kid?
Who's a minor, I might add.
- I'd love to hear you explain
- Nobody was tailing you.
My colleague happened to see you
on the pier from his boat.
- He dabbles in photography on off days.
- [camera shutter clicking]
Hm. Well, did he see Dragan there?
- Funnily enough, he didn't.
- Huh.
That could just mean
you played us that weekend.
- You're hiding Dragan in your apartment.
- Wow, you know about that?
If I have your apartment searched,
I wouldn't find Dragan, would I?
[tense music playing]
[music stops]
[chuckling] That would be
an epic bachelor pad.
You've got one creative mind.
Alas, I live all by myself.
I assume you know
my marriage has been strained, right?
Yeah, I'm sorry.
Yeah.
[sighs]
I better be on my way. But good luck.
Bye now.
[tense music playing]
[tense music swelling]
[panting]
[man on PA] Please watch the doors.
[tense music stops]
[panting]
[pounding]
[distant church bell ringing]
Yeah?
[Toni] It's Toni.
- [Björn] Uh
- [pounding]
[rapid pounding]
[Toni] Open the goddamn door.
I'll be right there. Give me five seconds.
[rapid pounding]
[whispering] Shit.
Shit.
[faintly] Oh, man
[door knob rattling]
[groans]
[tense music playing]
[door shuts]
[clattering]
[Tyson growling]
- Hello, Björn.
- Hey.
Uh
- He can't be in here.
- [Tyson snarling]
- It's in my lease, sorry, no dogs.
- Don't care.
Why won't you take my calls?
I told you, I'm busy. Hm?
See, I've got a weird feeling
you're fucking with me.
I'm not that dumb, Toni.
That so, huh? I'll be the judge of that.
[tense music continues]
[low growl]
Uh Hello?
I've gotta say, this place reeks of shit.
[growling continues]
[barking]
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
- [Tyson continues barking]
- [Björn] Hey, hey. Um
Uh, Toni?
Toni, can you help me out?
[Tyson continues barking]
I don't think your dog likes me very much.
[Toni] Yep.
- Toni!
- He's got a good nose on him.
He can always smell bullshit.
- [low growl]
- [shuddering]
[Tyson barking]
So, lawyer man, Tell me
[tense music stops]
What smells like shit?
- [Björn] Aww, good boy.
- [Tyson whimpers]
He's such a sweetheart.
[Tyson whimpers]
[tense music playing]
If I don't hear from Dragan
in the next three days,
you're a dead man.
We'll be in touch.
[bottles rattle]
- Tyson, come!
- [Tyson whimpers]
Goddamn beast.
[Tyson whimpers]
[exhales deeply]
[door shuts]
[Björn] Thanks to that "goddamn beast",
I was finally free of the telltale thumb.
Meanwhile, a different critter
[raven cawing]
flew in with a new problem.
