Hello.
Can you step out of the car?
[tense music playing]
Is there a problem?
Don't know yet.
[seat belt lock clicks]
I'd like to take a look in your bag.
How come?
[seat belt lock clicks]
Do I know you?
I don't think so.
Don't know a lot of older men.
[car horn honks]
Can we go now?
[car horn honks]
[tense music grows to crescendo]
[theme music playing]
[music fades]
Well Shit.
[sighs] The man we told you about,
do you know him?
The book I told you about, where is it?
[both exhale]
Look, he recognized me tonight.
He's the man who took us.
My mother nearly recognized you.
You betrayed your professor
and got your name everywhere.
That's on you.
[Jasper scoffs]
And I'd like to have my dress returned.
Thanks.
What?
What are we gonna do now?
Clearly, I can't rely on you.
So I'll just come up with something else,
I guess.
[door opens, slams shut]
She should learn some self-control.
- [Jasper scoffs]
- [knock at door]
At least she has a heart.
[brooding music playing]
[brooding music crescendos]
Finally.
This is the man.
Andi? What about him?
Don't play dumb with me. I'm not an idiot!
This is who kidnapped me,
and you were in on it!
This is all total nonsense.
This is Andreas Winter. He's a journalist.
No. That's the guy. No doubt about it.
[Mia] Where did they take me?
I told you I don't know where.
Yeah, and I don't believe that.
Okay, then don't.
I have to find this lab.
I need to know what happened,
what they did.
Good luck.
- It's a bit late for guests.
- They were just going.
- [Jasper scoffs] Goodnight.
- [Ursula] Goodnight.
You have to help me.
Help you?
No, I don't.
[door opens, closes]
[owl hoots]
I'll send my contact's info for the boat.
- That's very kind.
- Well, since we're island neighbors.
[laughing]
- Have I introduced Dr. Winter to you?
- Nice to meet you.
- He's an excellent scientific journalist.
- I'm still a scientist at heart.
Yeah, that's true.
Everything he says
is a bit too complicated for me.
[laughter]
- Well, drive safely. Glad you could come.
- We will. Have a good night.
- Yes. Thanks, you too.
- Goodnight.
Why was Mia here?
Because I asked her to come.
Why would you do that?
[chuckles]
Keeping a good eye on my investments.
[tuts] Is that a problem for you?
No.
Good.

I don't really wanna go home
to Lotta and all that stuff.
And plus, it could be dangerous, right?
Since Winter must know where you live.
Yeah, for sure.
Well, you can sleep at my place
if you don't wanna go home yet.
Yeah, I think that's a good idea.
To be extra safe.
Yeah.
Safety first.
["Dream for Dreaming"
by Patrick Watson playing]
Why me?
I ask myself that.
This dream ♪
Well, I don't mean you. I ask why me?
Everyone's the center
of their own universe, huh?
'Cause this life I'm living ♪
I used to be so scared
that my Huntington's would break out,
that my personality would change,
or that my brain would deteriorate.
Now all this shit that's happening to you
feels worse somehow.
Well, for you, of course, but also for me.
I'm just scared that
that I'll forget who I am soon,
what I'm made of, what drives me.
The only thing I have are my memories.
And the worst part is
I don't even know who I can trust now.
Lotta, Niklas,
Lorenz, my therapist, and
myself even.
You can trust me.
Even if every three weeks
I have to come back
because you forgot again.
Just never lie to me again, okay?
Okay.
[emotional music playing]
[Jasper groans]
I may have lied one other time.
When I mentioned
that there was another girl.
When I said I wasn't faithful
there was nobody.
I don't know.
I just thought when you said that we
I'M AT THE BAKERY

Okay. Okay.
My name is Emma Mia Engels.
My brother is Ben Engels.
My name is Emma Mia Engels.
My brother is Ben Engels.
- [Jasper] Hey, what's going on?
- [Mia panting]
I'm forgetting my brother.
- [keypad beeping]
- My brother is Ben Engels.
[breathing heavily] Who are you calling?
The doctor.
You need to be looked at again.
Hey.
Hello, I need to see a doctor.
Um, just put me through
to the neurology department.
Yes, thanks.
Yes, hello.
I'm calling about Mia Akerlund.
We were there
at the beginning of the week,
and we have to come by again.
Exactly, Dr. Ottes, yes.
Okay, great.
Yeah, we'll be there.
Okay.
Yes, thanks. Bye.
Got them to see you today.
Can we go to my place
so I can get clean clothes?
- Hey.
- [sobs]
Hey, hey, hey.
[crying]
It's eye-opening to see how you live.
Would you like to join us for some lunch?
I'm not feeling well. I'm sorry.
[brooding music playing]
[Lotta] Mia.
Mia about Niklas. Look, I'm sorry.
I I told Oli and Chen-Lu
to keep it to themselves
while I waited
for the best moment to tell you,
but you already knew,
and you were fine with it, Mia.
We're happy together.
Some things just don't work out, I guess.
We have to go.
Problems, dear?

INFORMATION ON SONICATION

[breathing heavily]
Yes, it's Ottes. I requested
the files for Mia Akerlund earlier,
but someone has made a mistake here.
These files can't be correct.
Akerlund.
Um, with a K or CK?
K.
With a K.
Yeah.
Uh, tenth of July.
Oh really?
Are you sure that's right?
Yeah, let me call you back later, okay?
Thanks.
[Ottes clears throat]
Did you find anything?
Light areas that show up
in the parieto-occipital cortex like this
means some change.
What kind of change is it?
Atrophy.
Brain deterioration.
The images suggest
a variant of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease,
but I've never seen it
spread with such speed.
That's Mad Cow.
But that's impossible though.
The development's totally atypical,
to say it simply.
Your prognosis?
We had better do an EEG and a CSF scan,
but if it keeps spreading at this rate,
I'd estimate that you'll only have control
of your motor and cognitive functions
for another one or two weeks, Mia.
And a life expectancy
of around one or two months at this point.
I'm very sorry.

[ominous music stops]
But we don't know
it's Creutzfeldt-Jakob, right?
Uh, unfortunately,
that's not the point, Ms. Akerlund.
That means
that we also don't know if it can be
if it could be reversed
if you find the key.
Well, I assure you that here
you will get the best medical care
with us at this hospital.
I have to go.
Hold on, Mia! But you need help.
Exactly.
And?
Good? Bad?
Bad, but also good. Both.
I remembered something important.
There seems to be a way to cure me.
I wrote it down.
What? So what is it?
That, I still don't know,
but I'd like to find out soon.
I remember
where Winter put the book you want.
Golden letters and Roman numerals
on the spine, right? I can get it for you.
What do you need from me?
What?
Just chill out.
Okay, what do we know for sure?
Mia was abducted,
and Lotta's father organized it.
They did something to her brain,
which led to a kind of artificial
Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
Bovine spongiform encephalopathy?
- Yeah.
- Well, something like it.
But the thing is, it's reversible.
I remembered seeing something in the lab
that can reverse it,
and it starts with S-O-N.
[Ole] Yeah, but I mean
Lotta's dad, that's just
What?
So their song, song lyric, songwriter.
Okay. This is going to hell.
There's a computer in the lab
with records of what they did to my head
and a red notebook
that Lorenz wants me to get for her.
So we have to find out where that lab is.
The guy who kidnapped me
is also Lorenz's ex.
[chuckles] Well, then
where's the problem?
[pensive music playing]
[approaching vehicle]
Tanja, I'm really glad you called me,
and we can reconnect.
You'll be even happier
with the news I have as well.
[car door opens]

No. It's taken. It's taken.

[computer chimes]
We don't see each other for years,
and now it feels regular.
[chuckles]
How long ago was it?
Since you were at my office?
Three months.
Almost feels like
we saw each other once more since then.
[chuckles]
Well, I've been in the news a lot.
So much happened.
To me, at least.
And you?
Mostly editorial work.
You journalists.
You don't create things. You blow them up.
Not all journalists are alike, Tanja.
Let's drink to that.
[Ole] Okay.
[tense music playing]
Key, okay.
Here we go.
- All right.
- [error tone]
Fuck!
[clears throat] So, tell me why I'm here.
In the hope
that you're right
and not all journalists are the same.
You also know what science is like.
A bit, yeah.
How you always need
someone with cash backing you.
A school or a company.
Could be one person.
We are visionaries.
However, those of us who want to make it
must make a pact with them.
With a sponsor, I mean.
Someone with the cash.
What exactly are you getting at?
[inhales sharply]
What if I told you
where the funds
for all of my research are from?
Not the university stuff.
For the real research.
For Homo Deus.
I would say that sounds very interesting.
[typing]
[error tone]
The fuck!
[exhales sharply]
Fürstenberg
is financing illegal experiments.
Talk about a crazy good story, huh?
[tuts]
And are you the only person
that he illegally sponsored,
or does he pay for other scientists' work?
You tell me.
You're the journalist. Find out.
Why are you telling me all this?
Andi, think about it.
If the truth about Fürstenberg came out,
my sentence would be a whole lot better.
I mean, he was behind it all.
I see.
But what if other scientists
are part of this?
This story could
potentially ruin their careers.
That won't be necessary.
[Ole] Mm-hmm. Ah, mm-hmm.
- [radio playing loud music]
- Oh fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!
No, fuck!
No, no, no!
Everything's fine.
It's my dad's car. A rental car.
[laughs] Enjoy your night, guys.
Ah!
Okay.
[Winter] Just so I understand,
you want me to research and write a story,
but I'm not gonna publish it, right?
For now.
Just knowing one exists,
that should be enough.
[loud music continues]
[music stops]
[exhales sharply]
Okay.
That's enough for him to help me.
He can do that. He just has to want it.
And then we can all go back to our lives.
Me and his other scientists
if there is anybody.
[Ole] "System info. Color settings"?
"USB and mute settings."
"Key card settings."
Can you prove
any of the things you're saying?
Naturally.
[inhales sharply]
Would you excuse me for a second?
[brooding music playing]
Oh yeah.

LORENZ KNOWS
[approaching footsteps]
- Come on! Come on!
- [tapping computer]
[brooding music playing]
I had a good time.
Okay.
We should do it again.
Yeah.
[Lorenz chuckles]
[Mia] His home, the office, supermarket.
A fitness studio.
[sighs] Look how many times
he goes to the Fürstenbergs'.
[Jasper] But where would the lab be?
Oh, dude! These kinds of nice cars
always, always do well with my followers.
[laughs]
[clears throat]
And the RollJam device,
straight out of
the Fast and the Furious movies.
- [Ole laughs]
- Mm-hmm.
[phone buzzing]
Yeah?
- Did it go according to plan?
- [Mia] Yeah.
Good. You better get it all done tonight.
Fürstenberg may already know by tomorrow.
- What? How come?
- I had no choice.
And where's my thank you, huh?
[scoffs]
That's what I've said for decades.
- [sarcastically] Thank you.
- [Ursula] You're welcome.
[exhales sharply]
There's two separate dropped pins.
Here's a house. And you can barely see it,
but something else back here.
- Wait, that's right.
- What?
It's a really old brickyard.
What if the lab's in there?
Theoretically, this could be a correlation
without any real causality too.
I mean, why would anybody
who's as rich as Fürstenberg
use a brickyard as a lab though?
Because he's an old-school conspiracy guy.
So it's all under his control.
Let's go find out.
PRIN

- [Chen-Lu] Get me a pillow!
[Mia groans]
Should we take her to a hospital?
No.
- [phone buzzing]
- I'll get water.
- [slurring] We have to go to the lab.
- What?
The lab!

Hello, Mia.
You weren't

Has anything happened?
I know that you aren't

It's difficult, but I want you to know
that as your therapist,
all I want is to help you get better.

with the news I have as well.
[car door opens]
[car door closes]
No. It's taken. It's taken.
It's taken. It's taken.
That's right. Bye-bye. Have a good night.
[inhales sharply] Right, okay.
And send.
[sighs] Okay.

MESSAGES
OLE - I'M IN
He's in!
He's in? Seriously?
[car tones play]
Okay.
So, okay
[computer chimes]
We don't see each other for years,
and now it feels regular.
[chuckles]
How long ago was it?
Since you were at my office?
Three months.
Almost feels like
we saw each other once more since then.
[chuckles]
Well, I've been in the news a lot.
So much happened.
To me, at least.
And you?
Mostly editorial work.
You journalists.
You don't create things. You blow them up.
Not all journalists are alike, Tanja.
Let's drink to that.
[Ole] Okay.
[tense music playing]
Key, okay.
Here we go.
- All right.
- [error tone]
Fuck!
[clears throat] So, tell me why I'm here.
In the hope
that you're right
and not all journalists are the same.
You also know what science is like.
A bit, yeah.
How you always need
someone with cash backing you.
A school or a company.
Could be one person.
We are visionaries.
However, those of us who want to make it
must make a pact with them.
With a sponsor, I mean.
Someone with the cash.
What exactly are you getting at?
[inhales sharply]
What if I told you
where the funds
for all of my research are from?
Not the university stuff.
For the real research.
For Homo Deus.
I would say that sounds very interesting.
[typing]
[error tone]
The fuck!
[exhales sharply]
Fürstenberg
is financing illegal experiments.
Talk about a crazy good story, huh?
[tuts]
And are you the only person
that he illegally sponsored,
or does he pay for other scientists' work?
You tell me.
You're the journalist. Find out.
Why are you telling me all this?
Andi, think about it.
If the truth about Fürstenberg came out,
my sentence would be a whole lot better.
I mean, he was behind it all.
I see.
But what if other scientists
are part of this?
This story could
potentially ruin their careers.
That won't be necessary.
[Ole] Mm-hmm. Ah, mm-hmm.
- [radio playing loud music]
- Oh fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!
No, fuck!
No, no, no!
Everything's fine.
It's my dad's car. A rental car.
[laughs] Enjoy your night, guys.
Ah!
Okay.
[Winter] Just so I understand,
you want me to research and write a story,
but I'm not gonna publish it, right?
For now.
Just knowing one exists,
that should be enough.
[loud music continues]
[music stops]
[exhales sharply]
Okay.
That's enough for him to help me.
He can do that. He just has to want it.
And then we can all go back to our lives.
Me and his other scientists
if there is anybody.
[Ole] "System info. Color settings"?
"USB and mute settings."
"Key card settings."
Can you prove
any of the things you're saying?
Naturally.
[inhales sharply]
Would you excuse me for a second?
[brooding music playing]
Oh yeah.
- "Navigation history."
- [beep]
[laughing]
[clears throat]
Okay.
All right.

LORENZ KNOWS
[approaching footsteps]
- Come on! Come on!
- [tapping computer]
[brooding music playing]
I had a good time.
Okay.
We should do it again.
Yeah.
[Lorenz chuckles]
[Mia] His home, the office, supermarket.
A fitness studio.
[sighs] Look how many times
he goes to the Fürstenbergs'.
[Jasper] But where would the lab be?
Oh, dude! These kinds of nice cars
always, always do well with my followers.
[laughs]
[clears throat]
And the RollJam device,
straight out of
the Fast and the Furious movies.
- [Ole laughs]
- Mm-hmm.
[phone buzzing]
Yeah?
- Did it go according to plan?
- [Mia] Yeah.
Good. You better get it all done tonight.
Fürstenberg may already know by tomorrow.
- What? How come?
- I had no choice.
And where's my thank you, huh?
[scoffs]
That's what I've said for decades.
- [sarcastically] Thank you.
- [Ursula] You're welcome.
[exhales sharply]
There's two separate dropped pins.
Here's a house. And you can barely see it,
but something else back here.
- Wait, that's right.
- What?
It's a really old brickyard.
What if the lab's in there?
Theoretically, this could be a correlation
without any real causality too.
I mean, why would anybody
who's as rich as Fürstenberg
use a brickyard as a lab though?
Because he's an old-school conspiracy guy.
So it's all under his control.
Let's go find out.
PRIN
- [slurring] The printer stupid isn't wor
- [laughs] What?
- [slurring] It's not working. Shit, uh
- [high-pitched sound]
[shrill sounds]
- [Jasper] Mia!
- [Chen-Lu] Get me a pillow!
[Mia groans]
Should we take her to a hospital?
No.
- [phone buzzing]
- I'll get water.
- [slurring] We have to go to the lab.
- What?
The lab!
DR. REUTHER (THERAPIST)

Hello, this is Mia Akerlund.
Leave a message after the tone.
[beep]
Hello, Mia.
You weren't
at your last appointment with me.
Has anything happened?
I know that you aren't
satisfied with our progress.
It's difficult, but I want you to know
that as your therapist,
all I want is to help you get better.
There's some things that we have to forget
because it's a defense.
And don't get caught up
in anything that you can't escape.

How unexpected.
[car doors close]
You haven't come here to talk about
your Huntington's research, have you?
[Jasper] No.
We have a problem.
