Today we're going on a proper family outing.
It'll be great.
For Papa, for Mama and for you.
It'll be great.
For Papa, for Mama and for you.
- You're off limits here.
- My name is Vossberg.
I'm due to meet your boss.
What are you doing here? What I always do.
Comrade.
You missed a great night.
I had work to do.
And so did you.
I hear that you've set up a second string to your bow.
Yeah? Calm down.
- He shot up.
- Okay.
I'm coming.
You now host international guests in a beautiful farmhouse somewhere in Brandenburg? Who told you that? The people we work with.
Don't be concerned.
We took care of any devices.
I wouldn't be concerned if I'd done it myself.
Delivery.
They called me.
Philipp, I tell you this as a friend.
It's becoming a little dicey for you.
Friend.
Well He shot up.
Let's talk about your little brother instead.
Danilo's gay, huh? I didn't know.
Is that a problem in your community? Danilo is everything I have.
That's the little brother of the big boss out there.
- They'll kill me if I go out there.
- As long as I live, no one will have a problem with him.
Hey.
Wake up.
- I'm married.
- It's me.
We're leaving.
Now.
- What's up? - Come on.
Your boss is still asleep.
Okay.
Let's go.
Ciao.
Ciao.
Sergei.
What's up with you, man? His little Russian overdosed.
Stop! We have to get out of here.
Danilo is dead.
Come on.
Come! Danilo is dead.
Igor! Danilo is dead.
He has to go to hospital.
- Oh fuck! Fuck! Shit! - What's going on? - Shit! What the fuck's going on? - Hey, hey! - What have you done? - Hey, just shut your fucking mouth.
Go, go, go! Here I go.
- Hey.
- Morning, honey.
Hey.
I love you both so much.
- I love you both so much.
- Yeah.
Hey, Paul, I love you, too.
Johnny.
Did you hear what Papa said? I love you very much.
Very much.
You're the best thing ever.
Papa's so glad to see us.
Everything's fine, okay? - I'll go and freshen up.
- Sure.
I'll be right back, sweetheart, okay? Papa's fine.
I was just out too late last night.
- Mr.
Schlag.
- Hey! Get in.
Let go of me! - What the hell is this? - Why didn't you call me after the shootout? Why? Why did you say you'd protect me, when you don't? I could have used some of that recently.
Do you have any idea what happened there? My two best friends and your Philipp Vossberg could be as dead as the girl whose brains they blew out.
Okay, Beat, listen.
I understand.
That was serious and I'm sorry.
But I have to ask some questions, and you must answer.
Okay? Who was there? There's talk of Russians.
Is that true? Do you have any names? Did you hear how they know each other? How they're connected? Is that all you can say? If you don't know, you must use your relationship with Vossberg to find out.
There's only one thing I must do.
Protect myself.
I need a gun.
That's not possible.
I need protection.
You want to be my people.
No, you are my people, I risk my life for you, and all you want is information? That's your job.
Was he there? His name is Igor Golubev.
What about him? Was he there? Lev Koncharov.
You know him.
So, do you know him, too? And what came of the number I got you, from Vossberg? You were really excited about that.
Unfortunately the other side was tipped off about our operation.
- Not by me.
- No, not by you.
- Was he there? - I'm not giving you anything anymore.
You're using me.
You're screwing with me, with my so-called Grandma.
You think that's going to keep me happy? That was tough for you.
I'm sorry you were put in a situation like that.
I'll give you my number, too.
Maybe you'll call me first next time.
Okay? I gave you that address in secret.
Against Diemer's orders.
He didn't want that.
He trusts you and you pull shit like that? - I wanted to help you.
- No.
No, you thought you could help yourself.
And your success and your mission.
That's all.
He said he didn't recognize anyone.
It all happened too fast.
- Okay.
- And he asked for a weapon again.
Well, he won't be getting one from us.
I owe you an apology.
I didn't follow your orders and can't make up for it.
I'm ready to face any consequences.
You can make up for it.
But not now.
I'll tell you when.
I understand.
How's your arm? I'm gonna make it.
What you did for me in the hotel today, - I'll never forget it.
- It's all good.
I hope you know I'd do the same for you.
I'd defend you.
I'd risk my life.
That's good to know.
FOR BEAT - YOURS, JASPER Crazy, huh? That psycho was here again.
- And how did he get in? - No idea.
That was here when I got back.
Who, Janik, was the last one to leave the apartment yesterday? - I was.
- Yeah.
Exactly.
Look.
I had this thing installed, so the asshole can't get in here.
You only have to lock it, Janik.
- Sorry.
- Yeah, sorry.
Are you sorry? You'd risk your life for me? Defend me? Locking that thing would be enough.
I know you don't think I could but I would die for you.
It is surprising when someone you met among hooligans, who wore Scott, and 974s, suddenly turns up again wearing fine yarn.
And it's interesting to follow that person for a bit.
And that's what I did.
Philipp? Okay.
Yeah.
Fine.
See you in a minute.
I like you.
Not you.
- Ahoy, sailor.
- Hey.
Can we talk for a moment? Thanks.
Everything okay? I wanted to ask, you have a few guns, can you lend me one? Lend? I don't do that anymore, Bubu.
For me! I need one.
- Who are you going to kill? - No one.
It's for my own safety.
Stay cool tonight.
What happened this morning has made me confused.
You gauged the situation better than me.
And for that I'd like to thank you.
With a little present.
That I hope expresses how much I appreciate you.
I made an effort.
Really.
And I'll ask later if you liked it, because it's kind of important for the further development of a relationship.
Philipp.
Are you going home? I came specially.
You said we could talk.
Is that so? - Go ahead.
What's the matter? - Ah, okay.
I I'll make it brief.
In the hotel this morning I was really scared.
But afterwards I felt this deep sense of gratitude.
And then This infinite love for my wife and son.
Yeah, nice.
You said you could help me.
I mean, my son.
I can't promise anything, but it's looking good.
- How so? - I can't give you specifics, but there is a chance.
- And You go home now.
- Alright.
Okay, that's the best news.
Okay.
We can go somewhere else, if you can't in here.
Come.
No thanks.
I don't smoke while I'm working.
It doesn't bother me.
If you have any fantasies, we can live them out together.
Look.
For example, I have this.
Okay.
Or this.
For me.
Or for you, if that's what you're into.
You've been doing this for a while, right? You can say that again.
Mama! Come, my little darling.
Today we're going on a proper family outing.
It'll be great.
For Papa, for Mama and for you.
Hey.
Your roommate let me in.
I said I was applying for the cleaning position.
Janik! Want some? What do you want? I want to do something I shouldn't.
Okay, come here.
Come on.
Get dressed.
We're taking a trip.
Get out! Hello.
You don't recognize me! It's me, Beat! I mean Robert Schlag.
Get out of here.
Shit.
I brought us some cake.
Bee sting cake.
It's a cake from the old days.
We'll love it.
Will you make us some coffee, Grandma? And then we'll talk a bit.
I want to know all about you.
Yes, I'll make coffee.
Yes.
Great.
You've realized by now of course, Monika.
I'm not Beat.
That's someone else.
You know him.
You are one pretty sick asshole.
Why don't you just leave? You're both very similar.
I don't only mean your way with words.
No.
Also your faces.
I was his understudy for a long time.
And I thought One day I will be him.
I'll transform into him.
You see? But in fact he will transform into me.
Mrs.
Lietz? Mrs.
Lietz, are you home? It's the police.
Is everything okay? You called us.
Hey! Stay where you are! Police! - Stop! - Hey! Stay where you are! How do you want it? This is your weapon, a Walther P5.
This is the magazine.
Now the magazine is loaded.
Cock it.
Now the gun is loaded and ready to fire.
Your ultimate safety is your finger.
When not firing, it stays there.
Only when you want to fire do you place it on the trigger.
It's so quiet.
Simply having a gun doesn't mean you can shoot.
You have to want to.
Pop.
The gun is only so you can sleep better.
When we get Jasper, I'll have it back, okay? What you're doing is against all the rules, isn't it? Is having my trust really that important to you? ENTER THE FIRING RANGE AT YOUR OWN RISK! Philipp.
Yeah? Yeah, I've got time.
At the supermarket? Okay.
I'll be there in 30 minutes.
Yeah.
Great that you had time.
I thought we'd head out of town.
Get some fresh air.
Could you take this? You got the basics then.
I admit it, I have high standards.
I wanted to show you this.
My finest piece.
Don't worry.
I have a hunting license.
After yesterday's shootout, you celebrated your friendship, huh? All for one, one for all.
I don't believe in that shit.
What do you believe in then? I believe that we all use each other.
That's the human way.
I see it differently.
Well, as you're seeking friendship with me, you have to accept my terms.
And the core question is can we make good use of each other? What do you expect to gain from me? And, vice versa, how can you be of use to me? That's very romantic, isn't it? Why have you been trying to get close to me? Have I done that? - You bought into my best friend's club.
- Are you sure that's the answer? Good.
So let's try a bit of honesty.
What have you been looking for from me? Maybe a new job.
Maybe I thought that I could do more than just organize parties.
And how does it feel to be close to me? What's it all about? I keep asking myself that.
I've got a shitload of money.
I have the phone numbers of people you'd only know from TV.
I can go anywhere.
To whom I want, how I want, when I want.
But what's it all about? What's it all about? Having fun? Excitement? Adrenaline? An endless loop of fun around the clock? Tell me, you're the great fun expert.
It's about love.
- And trust.
- Do you trust me? Yes.
Like shit you do! We're done.
- I've been waiting for almost two hours.
- I'm here now.
Great.
You were going to call me after meeting Vossberg.
What have you got? - We went to the woods.
And the club.
- Did you talk about the Russians? We talked about trust.
Did he mention the name Igor? I'm not a rat.
You're in bed with a dangerous criminal and got turned.
You're his rat.
You can be had for a little coke and a cool track.
Oh, and you didn't want to buy me? - Give me the gun.
That was a mistake.
- Have you got Jasper yet? Okay.
You know what? You revel in your freedom, and have no idea what it costs.
You think you're living, but it would make no difference if you were dead.
To anyone.
It is surprising when someone you met among hooligans, suddenly turns up again wearing fine yarn.
- Hey, can you drive me somewhere? - I'm finished for today.
And if you take tomorrow off? - No problem.
- Follow that car, without them noticing.
I'm a secret agent.
What now? Can I help you? My car broke down.
And I thought I could maybe get some tools from you.
Shall we drive to your car? Show me where your car is.
I very much hope for you it really is broken down.
Come on, cokehead, let's go.
Let's take a little drive.
Okay.
Great, if you've got time.
You'll follow us? Just piss off.
Now.
Get in, kid.
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
I see you have a lot to do.
I'll ask him if he can tow me.
Thanks for your help.
Fuck! Fuck! Drive on? No, wait a sec.
Thanks, man.
Want to smoke a joint? Yeah.
This is Emilia's voicemail.
I'm not available - Do you like techno? - Yeah, well, kind of, also, yeah.
What kind of music do you like? I like a lot.
But the source, the essence of everything, that's The Beatles for me.
Why? I'll tell you.
What was before The Beatles? Elvis Presley, Fats Domino, Bill Haley, and before that Glenn Miller, Ella, Billie Holiday, Django Reinhardt.
Okay, and before that Mozart.
What's your point? They were all solo artists.
The Beatles were a band.
They were the start of this cool idea, that if you don't make it alone, you can do it with a few friends.
You just need a few people who stand by you.
Then the coolest things become I forgot what I was gonna say.
Yeah, I know what you mean.
Call the cops in 20 minutes, okay? My meter's running.
Who's there? Ah, who gives a shit? As I said, regarding the structure, everything has been optimal.
You can report back that we can do a lot more here.
We're an efficient team now, - even if minor issues do crop up.
- I'll pass that on.
Have a great trip back.
And send my regards to the capital! Are you alright? Yes.
We were worried.
We thought you were dead.
No, it's all fine.
I was just a bit tired.
Evening! - Beat! - Fuck.
- God, am I glad I found you! - How'd you find me? I located your phone.
What's wrong? That farm.
People are being held prisoner there.
- What? - They're doing surgery on them.
I think they're taking their organs.
There's nothing here.
Why did they all leave? - How does something like this happen? - They were warned.
What are you doing? Where are you going? What would I go and do? Evil is always present in goodness.
- What you remember was a sham.
- What's your problem? - Vossberg.
- Philipp.
- Younis.
- Vossberg.
You think you're living.
- You know the difference between us? - Evil - I have a home.
- Vossberg.
You have to get used to being alone.
That's reality.
This longing for connection Oh, Monika! The way you say that, it sounds so hopeless.
Yeah.
That's true.
Not a good day? Who knows which days were good and which were bad? We probably won't be able to judge until the end of all days.
You're a philosopher.
Yes.
Then today I don't need to comfort you.
That isn't what I was trying to say.
Come, my little darling.
Today we're going on a proper family outing.
For Papa, for Mama and for you.
Hey, boy! It'll be great.
For Papa, for Mama and for you.
And for you.
Mama! Papa! Mama! Mama! Papa! Mama! Papa! Papa! Mama! Papa! Hello? He's here.
Come up with something.
