1
Come on, Karla.
This fucking runner's high surely
must set in at some point!
Heart
Heart attack.
Heart attack.
KONSTANTIN:
WE STILL NEED TO GO FOR DINNER. WHEN?
Andi?
Andi!
Andi?
Andi.
-Good morning.
-Morning.
You look nice today.
-New haircut?
-What happened outside?
-I picked up a corpse.
-Shit! There's still a body in there?
I didn't get it.
Pull yourself together. Come on, get up.
Come on, up.
Damn, I've got clients.
What? Now?
-They'll be here soon.
-I'll make you a nice strong coffee.
Okay.
Andi.
Close the lid.
-Close the lid.
-Okay.
What happened here?
-Hello.
-Gronert.
Mrs. and Mr. Gronert. Come in.
I'm sorry.
It's just one of those days.
-Mrs. Borowski
-I'm not Mrs. Borowski. I'm
I'm just an employee.
If it's a bad time,
we can come back come later.
No.
You could
Maybe
Maybe you could tell me who you've lost?
Our son, Cyril.
He was hit by a train last night.
His body is still at the coroner's.
We don't really know how to proceed.
I was told that
-That you could help us.
-Yes, of course.
Yes, of course.
Yes, here. Just leave it all to us.
Mom?
INCOMING CALL: KONSTANTIN NOWAK
Your phone.
-Is everything okay?
-Yes.
Yes.
What's going on in your world?
-It's Tonio's birthday next week.
-Judith
-Oh, yeah! We have to celebrate!
-Mom.
-How great would that be?
-Grandma?
Let's do something together. You'll be 16!
-I've got a call.
-It's the best b--
-Yes.
-It's the best birthday.
-No, I'm not busy. Nothing important.
-Nobody's on the phone.
No, just my stupid housemates.
We could just throw him a surprise party.
He doesn't want to celebrate.
Don't you get it?
He's 15. He doesn't know what he wants.
I meant to tell you sooner, but
you've all been so busy dealing
with your own shit, so
I've been thinking about life
and my age and
-What?
-What is it?
I've thought about it and I've decided
to go for assisted dying.
Do you understand?
You know.
Why aren't you looking forward
to your birthday?
Maybe because everyone expects it of me.
What's so great about getting older?
-What does your family say about that?
-They don't care what I think.
They wouldn't even notice if I was gone.
Why do you think that?
I'm in love.
With your family?
What? No.
With you.
Why do you think you're in love with me?
No idea
I feel sick every time I think of you.
I even puked because of you yesterday.
And I googled--
Well, I think
that you've got your emotions mixed up.
How can you be so dismissive?
I'm serious. I really love you.
SORRY! WON'T MAKE IT TODAY!
WILL BE THERE FOR THE NEX
CORPSE MAKE-UP SESSION! BEST, JUDITH
Knock, knock.
Everything alright?
Good work.
That's not easy. You've mastered it.
You should be proud.
Any news from Mom?
Is she okay?
Is she taking her meds?
Listen
I've already told you.
You guys can do whatever you want,
but don't involve me in your shit.
I just want to finish up here.
Okay, then.
I'll be in the office.
Maybe you can tell me a bit about Cyril,
so I get a better picture of him.
This
was taken last winter.
A good-looking boy.
Did he have a girlfriend?
Not yet. He
He didn't have many friends.
He preferred to play alone.
But he was very intelligent.
He was always very pensive.
Ever since he was little.
And which
Did he have any hobbies?
-Not really.
-Well
-He was really into sports.
-Sports. That's good.
Take all the time you need.
Thank you.
I wish
my son's room was as tidy as this,
just once a year.
-Is this helpful?
-Yes.
It's all so
Perfect.
Yes.
Did he always tidy it himself?
-Yes.
-Well
I'll call you
if I have any questions, okay?
-Sure.
-Yes.
Mrs. Fazius?
Yes?
I know.
Hey.
I'm trying to do some accounting.
This crap isn't as difficult as I thought.
So
can I help you?
I don't know
how to go about the Gronert funeral.
I said I'd take care of everything, but--
Gronert? The boy who jumped
in front of a train with his cat?
Cat? No.
Yes, that's what Ronnie said
when he picked him up at the coroner's.
Well
sounds like a messed up story, doesn't it?
Is that meant to help me?
All of us, bankers and hookers alike,
have to clench our butt cheeks,
do our jobs, go home and move on.
Goddammit, Andi!
Just pull yourself together.
If you want Frauke back,
you've got to fight for her.
And you better think of something
if you don't want to lose your business.
But you're not helping anyone
by sitting around, getting drunk
and feeling sorry for yourself.
Some people cope really well
with the loss of their partner.
Congratulations.
But I'm finding it harder.
Stephan?
I'm a ghost!
You're so stupid.
Where were you?
Having dinner with the kids.
You really don't want to bring them here?
-Please, stop it.
-Alright.
Okay.
You're here now.
I'm just a bit overwhelmed at the moment.
Because you take on too much.
Thanks for your help.
What's going on? I get the feeling
you want to get rid of me.
I don't know.
I am
Stephan?
Are you still here?
Yes.
Why?
It's his birthday in two days
and we want to throw him
a surprise party at 3 p.m.
If your daughter Nadine would like to
Ballet Yes.
She can't. Well, thank you very much.
No problem.
Bye. Have a great day.
Fuck you.
MAX GRONERT:
COULD YOU COME AND SEE US AGAIN?
How are you?
Karla?
-Good.
-No, I mean really.
Why? Worried about me?
Why? There's no need to be. I'm fine.
There's nothing
you want to get off your chest?
-If you discovered something
-I'm trying to work here.
…that affected the whole family,
you wouldn't keep it from us, right?
Listen. I'm not in the mood for games.
Can you please tell Tonio
and Mina that I had to go out?
Yes.
Hey, what happened to the lease
that I found in Dad's documents?
Karla, are you serious?
Fuck!
-Can't you knock?
-Relax.
I don't have any privacy
in this house either.
Grandma, are you serious?
What?
I'm just taking my meds.
Is that her?
What's your problem?
I'm too young for her.
Really?
She doesn't look that old.
That's what I said, too.
Maybe you should show her
that you're not a kid anymore.
Thank you for stopping by again.
-Yes, of course.
-Do you want something to drink?
No, thanks.
-No? Okay.
-But
I haven't eaten anything all day. May I
Yes, please do.
I
I'd like to show you something.
This is Kurt.
Cyril used to take him everywhere.
He even talked to him.
Yeah
You can tell he's been through a lot.
When Cyril was seven
we found the stuffed dog
all sliced up in his room.
We didn't think much of it at the time.
A fit of rage, maybe.
Lena patched it up again.
But it just went on.
This might help you
figure out who my son was.
What is all this?
At first, I thought it was just
a weird hobby or something.
But then, I caught him in the act.
We were visiting my in-laws.
He took their guinea pig
and burned his paws with a lighter.
He was smiling.
And he just wouldn't stop.
We tried talking to him, but
I researched it.
Serial killers show such behavior
during their childhood.
Listen I Well
Cyril was 16. I don't think he--
Do you know why he died?
He stole our neighbor's cat
and tried to tie it to the train tracks.
My son wasn't a good kid.
And I
I hate myself for saying this, but
it's easier to love him now he's dead.
We didn't want any of that
to be included in the funeral.
But everyone knows about it.
All our family and friends.
Please tell me what we should do. Please.
I had to tell her. I couldn't
Hey.
Hey.
-Oh, have you already started?
-Yes, I'm nearly finished.
Here. Look.
Ah, okay.
So? What do you think?
They are good.
Okay.
Is something wrong?
You're too complicated for me.
Too complicated for what?
-You're simply too complicated for me.
-Too complicated to take photos with?
Or to print photos with?
What do you
Do you think
that I'm into you or something?
Holy shit.
So what do you think of me?
Do you think I want to spend my life
with a fucking 15-year-old in a morgue?
You can't just stand there
and not say a word.
Yes, I can.
Right, then
Right. I'll keep these, then.
Okay, bye.
Eitner speaking.
Hello?
Eitner speaking. Did you just call me?
-Me? No. Why would you think that?
-Your phone number was on my display.
But when I answered, the person hung up.
No. Must have been someone else.
-Okay. If you say so.
-Yes. Okay, then One moment!
I've been thinking
about your offer.
I'm prepared to sell.
Oh. And why the sudden change of heart?
One hundred thousand
and the place is yours.
Well, I'm afraid you're a bit late.
Shit.
We've just opened two new branches.
Okay, 90,000,
on the condition that you hire my son.
Mr. Borowski, I'd like to help you.
But
Twenty thousand.
Twenty thousand,
and I'll see what I can do with the place.
And
about your boy, I'm happy
to talk about it. No problem at all.
Charly! So, what do you say?
Ronnie?
-Ronnie!
-Borowski?
I want you to carry on working here.
You really think
I'd work for such an asshole?
Yes, but it's the only option.
It's a shit idea.
I'm doing it for you two.
For you and your mother.
That's your problem.
Go on, then. All of you!
Want some?
Why is there a pizza stain
on your ceiling?
It's from the previous tenant.
Listen
if you need a place to stay
What is it?
Nothing. I just like looking at you.
If you say so.
-I love you. You know that, right?
-Yes.
Sure.
I'M 22
JUDITH FAZIUS: YOU'RE
AN IDIO
MAYBE
I HAVE TO DELIVER A BODY LATER.
WANT TO HELP ME?
IT'S TOO COMPLICATED FOR ME
Hello, my dear. I tried to
Thanks for the message.
It's going to be a great night,
even without you.
Hope to see you at Christmas.
Love you.
Hello?
Stephan?
Have you been smoking again?
Thanks.
You look like shit, too.
Well, you know, the family hates me.
Andi is always drunk.
Oh, and a 16-year-old pet serial killer
is my topic at the moment.
And now I know more about this boy
than about Tonio.
Stephan, stop it.
Everything's just
too much right now.
Don't you want to talk today?
Not really.
As you wish.
-Tell me something about yourself.
-Why?
I want to get to know you better.
But this isn't about me.
Tonio, you're feeling upset
because it's your first birthday
without your father
and because you feel neglected
by your family.
You want to show you're an adult,
but you don't have to do that.
Tonio! No!
I like you, okay? I like you.
But you're mixing things up here.
Do you really think I'm into 15-year-olds?
I
Dear Lena, dear Max,
we're here today
to say farewell to your son, Cyril.
I'm sure
that deep in his heart, he was a good boy.
Although a few guinea pigs, cats, birds,
and a couple of dogs
probably begged to differ.
You were lucky that,
in Cyril, you had two sons.
Today, you're saying goodbye
to one of them.
The other will remain in your hearts.
Forever.
Hey.
Holy shit.
Are you serious?
I asked you to help get everything ready,
not turn up here as a clown.
Doesn't matter. Come in.
Hello.
What is that?
What can I say? Andi is home alone now.
Family's gone.
Clientele's gone.
Do you remember how you
used to tell me about your grandfather?
And about my grandfather
and all those family stories?
And you used to say,
"That's family. That's what matters."
Karla, where are you?
Tonio will be home any moment.
I hope you picked up the cake.
Surprise!
For he's a jolly good fellow
For he's a jolly good fellow
And so say all of us
Hooray!
Hooray!
Well But, hey,
at least I still have this place.
Tell me
this urn was already on this shelf
when you were still around.
Andi can't even do that.
My car!
Are you blind or what?
Why does everyone want me to be happy?
Probably
so they don't have to think
about why they're not happy themselves.
I kissed my therapist.
What? Why?
I don't know. Because I love her?
And how did it feel?
Weird.
-Will you kiss her again?
-Don't think so.
You can kiss me if you want.
You?
Am I that ugly?
No.
That's not what I meant.
Okay, let's kiss, then.
"Okay, let's kiss, then."
You must be mad.
You want to know what I got for you?
How nice of you to come home so soon.
It's not like
it's your son's birthday today.
I had a car accident.
Yes, it slipped.
I'm
Where's Tonio?
His room. Won't come out.
Tonio?
I'm coming in, okay?
Darling, I'm sorry I wasn't there.
I had a small car accident. I
Are you asleep already?
You're 16 now.
That's a huge deal. You know that, right?
You can watch movies rated 16.
At 16, you can even have sex
with someone over 21, I think.
But wait a bit with that, okay?
Sex just causes problems.
I speak from experience.
Karla?
What's wrong with you?
-Nothing. Everything's--
-Mom, please.
-What do you want to hear?
-Stop this.
I want you to be honest.
What do you mean?
I mean your behavior in recent weeks.
I mean Dad. I mean the fucking studio!
How can you keep that to yourself?
Darling, I can explain.
Good. Go on.
I
-Hi.
-Hello.
Is everything alright?
-Yes.
-Are you scared?
No.
Are you sure this is the right way?
It's certainly the quickest way.
Wait. I need to pee.
I think we need to tell our parents
at some point.
We don't want them to call the cops.
Well
we can decide what to do in the morning.
I ruin everything.
I have to make everything right again.
Counter offer.
We stay here
and bang as if we're 24 again.
Why won't you just let me go?
Why are you doing this?
You know why.
Stephan?
Where are you?
Tonio is gone.
-Mom?
-What?
Karla?
