1 YEAR EARLIER

Hey, you little mermaid.

Bro, your pool is sick, dude.

Ever screwed in here, bro?

- That's a random question. Course I have. - Yeah?

- Obviously. - Me too, at the public pool.

- The outdoor pool? Stop yapping. - For real.

- Jessy or what? - Bro, just drop it with Jessy.

- Go on, tell me. Did you? - Bro, Jessy sucks, man.

- Can't give head. Nothing. - Why? Let's hear it.

She'd go like...

Pissed like a watering can next day.

- Head's all she gave you? - Obviously I fucked her too.

- Obviously... - Came four times, man. Four!

"Oh, Flavio!"

Squirted so much.

"Flavio..."

- That's not what I heard. - Like what?

- Nah, just that it was good. - It was okay?

Come here, you little virgin.

- You can't do that. - Sure I can, black goes on black.

- What's the matter? - Yo, Simon, your brother can't play, man.

Yeah? - Simon. Hello?

Your dad said no glasses in the pool.

- Fuck my dad. - Give it here.

And you get back in here. I'll lift you in, real gentle...

- You're crazy. - What's wrong? Watch this now...

I gotta take a piss.

Hey, Flavio, Dad doesn't like us going inside wet. Grab a robe, will you?

Yeah, sure.

- My turn? - Yeah.

- Mr. Huth? - Yes? Hello.

I just wanted to say, amazing house you got.

Seriously, it blows me away whenever I come over.

- Flavio, right? - Yeah, that's me. That was all.

Didn't mean to disturb. I was just using the bathroom.

- Nonsense, come in. You can pee later. - Yeah?

Yeah, come in. Sit down.

Sure.

- Here? - Sure.

- Like one too? - Yeah, sure.

- Or would you prefer an apple spritzer? - Nah, I'm good.

Seriously though, you're 18, right?

Yeah.

- Fuck it. - Yeah.

I knew your dad.

Really?

- Cool. - Cool guy.

Who had some bad luck, eh?

Yeah.

Glad you like it here.

Like I said, kudos. Hats off to you.

You can do it too.

All you need, Flavio, is a clear goal

and the unconditional desire to attain it.

There are challenges... and solutions.

Fuck it. I just got that straight out of some crappy self-help book.

What you need is a woman.

You got one?

It's complicated.

No, not "complicated." Be clear. You got a woman? Yes or no?

Yes. No, not really.

That's crap because you need a woman.

Without my wife, none of this would have been possible.

You need a woman who's got your back.

Someone who supports you in everything.

Who doesn't get in your way, but stands by you.

Who believes in you and your strength.

And you need strength in this world.

And you have that strength.

Believe me. I can see it.

SHADOW LEAKS

WEDNESDAY

Yeah, let me just... What the fuck...

And on we go.

Let's go.

- Watch out. Step. - Up we go.

Sorry.

Can you smell I've been drinking?

I'd give it a rest.

- Okay, just one last swig. - Corvin.

- This is so dumb. - A swig for luck.

Goodbye, beer.

- Is this even the right way? - Yeah, we're almost there.

We just have to... Just one last break.

Is it okay if I just...?

Then I'll have so much energy, you won't even believe it.

Just resting, that's all. Mustn't forget to rest.

Feels so nice.

BASED ON THE NOVEL SCHATTENSEITE BY JONAS EMS

- Corvin? - Yep?

You got anything to do with it?

With what?

- With the site? - With that shadow shit?

I've got nothing to do with it.

- You sure? - Yeah, sure.

Then why does Flavio think so? There has to be a reason.

Yeah, because Flavio's stupid, bro.

- That's not a reason. - Those fucking assholes are so dumb.

Cool kids with varsity jackets

have always roughed up kids without varsity jackets.

So it's like, "Hey, I'll get me a cool varsity jacket too."

But you still get your ass kicked. It's just how it is.

- The jacket was a metaphor... - I got that.

Still doesn't answer my question.

I'm chilling again. I got, like, 30 seconds left.

No, look at me. Open your eyes. Corvin.

Hello.

There's gotta be a reason Flavio thinks that.

Right?

Look at me.

I'LL GIVE YOU ONE CHANCE, NOLA.

GET ME CORVIN'S CELL AND PASSCODE!

AND YOUR SECRET WON'T BE REVEALED.

THE CLOCK IS TICKING.

Alright, got it.

- I'm going home now. - I'll walk you.

- Nah. - Which way?

Nah, it's fine.

Totally nice of you, but I got this. It's right there.

- You don't "got this." - Yeah, I do. Of course.

You're wasted. I'm walking...

Totally sweet of you. Thanks. It's fine, all good, man.

- See you later. - Text me when you get in, okay?

- Deal. - Watch out, there's a...

I got it.

I'm a free man!

What the hell? You know what time it is?

- School starts soon. - Sorry, I'll go right to bed now.

- Sorry. - What happened to you?

- Nothing. - Who did that?

Who cares? I got beat up, got wasted. So what?

- I'm going to bed. - No, you talk to me. Now.

What's going on?

- Can't I just...? - No, talk to me.

What's wrong?

Marianna screwed an 18-year-old.

There.

What?

What did you just say?

- Yeah? - Viktor, can you hear me?

-Yeah, it's, like, just past seven. - Can you be 100 percent honest with me?

- Did you tell anyone what I told you? - What did you tell me?

What I told you in Berlin?

- No, I didn't. - You sure?

- Yeah, why would you think that? - Okay, fuck.

- My mom's coming. Don't call me. - Hello?

Don't call or text me.

Hey.

- Did you oversleep? - No, nothing till third period.

Right. Did you hear about yesterday?

Phones being hacked at your school. I don't know more yet.

- I need to look into it. - No, I didn't.

Okay, I thought since it involves a classmate of yours...

- You need to be careful, Nola. - Yeah, I will.

Really?

Okay, gotta go.

By the way, Grandma says hi.

I think she'd like it if you came next time.

- Okay, I will. - Fine.

There's coffee upstairs.

- Thanks. - Bye.

So, feeling good?

Bit rough.

Can I borrow your phone to check the timetable?

Yeah, sure.

- There. It's unlocked. - Thanks.

Fuck, I accidentally locked it again. What's the code?

Yeah, easy.

Here. Don't need one. It's Face ID.

Oh God...

Corvin Fuchs, U3 senior.

Please go to Principal Herms' office.

- Hey, fuck. - Want me to come along?

Nah, it's fine.

Corvin, I'm really glad you came. And that we can talk.

I understand this is incredibly painful for you.

Linus was your best friend.

And how hard it is to return to some kind of normal routine.

Yeah.

Right now, as a school, we're under a lot of scrutiny.

I'd appreciate it enormously,

given you've seen how strongly we've spoken out

about you all treating each other mindfully,

and that we've said as a school we don't tolerate bullying...

- Spoken out about it, but... - Please, I...

I just want to say, as you know, we don't tolerate it.

I've said it so often, many others have too...

Yeah, but nothing was actually done about it.

There were talks, but that was it...

That's true. We had talks, like right now.

But still, it's beyond our control.

Most bullying happened outside of our remit of supervision...

But it happened at school too.

Yes, even at school, with none of us present, often enough.

But I... I mean...

I don't really get what you want from me.

I want you to think about how you'll be publicly acknowledging

that our school is one with standards.

Maybe you could make an effort,

if asked, to confirm that we tried.

Corvin, I can imagine this is all very tough for you.

I'd be happy to continue our conversation some other time.

Thanks.

Okay.

- Smile for the camera! - What the fuck!

Fuck! What the hell!

- Give me your phone, you little shit! - Fuck you!

- Fuck me? - I've got everything in my cloud.

Bullshit!

- Hi, Mr. Tiedemann. - Hi.

Listen, I'll keep the video to myself.

And you leave us alone, okay?

Hey, can we talk for a sec?

I just wanted to say I'm sorry, okay?

I'm really trying here.

I was drunk, okay?

It's no excuse, but...

We'd have found out anyway.

No, Mom wants me to report Flavio to the police now.

But it's none of her business, none of yours, none of anyone's!

It's my business!

YOU BITCH

- So, Mr. Andersen, no school today? - No, I'm not feeling great.

We haven't spoken to Marianna Fuchs herself yet,

but her parents have filed charges.

- What charges? Nothing happened. - I wasn't finished.

Was there any sexual activity at all between you and Marianna Fuchs?

- No. - Sure?

Yes.

I don't understand...

Can I call you Flavio?

Whatever.

Flavio, it's really important you understand your situation.

You're 18.

If this goes to trial and the judge treats you as an adult, not a minor,

you could go to prison.

Do you understand?

Simon.

You were in there?

Yeah, I borrowed a sweater.

My stuff was dirty.

I want everything to stay as it was. Got it?

What's up? All good?

You good?

- Hey. - Hi.

All good? Yo, what's up with Flavio?

Is he doing little girls now?

- No idea. - It's nuts. What is she, 12? 11? Damn.

That's wild, man. And someone like that's on our team?

What do you mean, "someone like that"?

What do you think? He needs to be kicked off the team.

Yeah.

Very good.

Pick up the pace, let's go. Move it.

- What's your problem, man? - What?

- What's up with you? - What's wrong with you, man?

This is just practice. Chill, dude.

- Simon, back off! Get out. You're out! - You idiot, man.

Are you alright?

Carry on. Yannik, Paul...

What's up, bro? Sorry I'm late, man.

Totally overslept.

- All good? - Yeah.

Hey, man, no need to get changed.

What? Why?

Better if you sit this one out. And Friday's game too.

The others don't want you on the team. Not after yesterday.

Fuck them.

Yeah, I know, fuck them. But listen...

I'm the captain, okay? And if they're uncomfortable...

Nothing personal. It just makes us look bad.

Maybe you can just go tell Herms yourself you're sitting this one out.

And who knows, maybe it'll give you some brownie points in all this.

Yeah.

Brownie points.

Got it.

Shit.

Hey, baby, everything okay?

- Nothing's okay. - I know, but just relax for a sec.

How can I relax? Some asshole wants to post bullshit about me.

Maybe it's just some moron from school trying to prank us.

Maybe he wants money, wants to blackmail us.

Fuck it for now.

What could he know about you? It can't be that bad.

- You're right. - I know I am.

- I bet he just wants money from me. - What?

I'll text saying I'll pay up.

Baby, that's not what I meant.

- How much do you plan on sending? - I don't know. 500? 1,000?

Thousand euros? What the hell are you hiding?

You think it's about...?

"Some have disappeared from the market entirely."

Baby, if you want, we can just go.

The site's at almost 2,000 clicks. You don't have to be here.

- Simon! - No, it's fine.

Thanks, Ella.

You'll work on your own in silence for the next 15 minutes.

The assignments are on the board.

Raise your hands with any questions.

Patricia, is everything okay, by the way?

I heard about that website.

Do you want to talk about it?

- It's fine. - Are you sure?

- Yeah. - Okay.

You know you can always come talk to me, right?

- Okay. - Okay.

Hey, turn your phones off.

Jessy?

Fuck.

Calm down, everyone.

GUYS, GAG REFLEX IS GETTING LESS. IS THAT NORMAL?

YES, IT'LL COME BACK.

DON'T GIVE UP.

THANKS, GUYS. VOMITED AFTER SNACK BINGE. HOPE NOTHING'S LEFT.

- Patricia. - Hey, baby.

Simon, sit down. Stay in your seats, everyone.

I'll be right back.

Patricia?

Occupied.

It's Nola.

I know we don't really know each other, but...

Do you need anything? I mean...

Is there anything I can do to help?

Do you want to go home? We could...

We could walk home together if you like.

We don't have to talk.

Patricia, I'm really sorry.

And...

I just wanted to say that it's nothing you need to be ashamed of.

I don't think it's weird at all.

I had a friend with eating problems too, and...

I'm not trying to compare situations, I just wanted to say

if you need to talk, I'm here, okay?

And I probably won't fully understand,

but I'll try.

And sometimes it helps to just get the words out. So, yeah...

No need to take up the offer now, but I'm here if you need to talk, okay?

Yeah.

Thanks.

- Sure. - I need to head on in.

- See you tomorrow. - Yeah, get home safely.

- Bye. - Bye.

Hi.

Can you come here?

Check the right pocket of your jacket.

Why?

Just do it, Nola.

- Are they yours? - No. Why are you going through my jacket?

Are you kidding me?

- You're searching my stuff? - I wanted to wash it, okay?

- No. - Are you mad?

- Are you? - I was washing your clothes, okay?

- Are the papers yours or not? - I just said, no.

- They're from Berlin. - So they are yours.

No, someone gave them to me! You just don't want to understand me.

I really want to believe you,

but I can't.

What am I supposed to say? I don't toke anymore.

I just don't trust you anymore.

Do you get how embarrassing it was for me today?

The school calls and suggests I put you in therapy.

How does that make me look?

I didn't post that, Mom.

- Someone hacked me. - It doesn't matter.

I don't have the energy to worry about this. Get a grip.

Patricia...

Stop it!

DO YOU WANT MORE?

PATRICIA'S NEXT SECRET CLICK HERE

DO YOU WANT TO PREVENT IT, PATRICIA?

THEN TELL ME SOMETHING ABOUT SIMON!

So, first of all, nice we're all sitting down together.

- Doesn't happen all that often. - Does he have to be here?

Sweetheart, please.

- No, I don't. - Yes, you do.

- We're a family, no secrets. - If she's uncomfortable, I can go.

- Corvin, please, sit down. - Come on, sweetheart.

Honey, we just want you to know you can always talk to us.

- Yeah. - Exactly.

- Anytime, no judgment. - Thanks, but I don't wanna talk.

Can I go now?

Marianna... you were...

Abused.

Hello? I was not abused.

It's okay not to talk to us.

- But maybe with Corvin's therapist or... - No, they're fully booked.

- Are you sure? - Yeah, totally.

It was bullying in Corvin's case. It's got to be...

I won't see a stupid shrink.

I get you don't see it this way now,

but one day you'll realize what happened to you isn't normal.

This boy did something wrong.

That's why your mom and I went to the police this morning.

- And we filed a report. - You did what?

Yes. We had to.

Seriously? You went to the police without asking me?

- We had to. - You can't just... Awesome.

- I didn't think they should. - Yeah, fuck you.

Yeah, great.

Yeah, baby?

Where...? Here, here.

Go up there, okay?

Baby, I'm really sorry about all this shit.

It's fine. It's not your fault.

I feel like I'm losing it.

It's not your fault.

- Are you okay? - I'm good.

- Okay. - Just my parents stressing me out...

- But... - You didn't say anything?

- No! - You didn't tell them, right?

- I've not told anyone. - You need to be careful. Seriously.

- I won't tell anyone. - Okay. Good.

And I won't make a statement either.

I promise.

- Okay... - Okay?

Yeah.

Actually, I think it could be smart if you did make a statement.

See what I mean?

You could just say we never met up.

That we never had a thing, we never fucked, never kissed, nothing.

But...

I mean... you didn't force me, I wanted to.

- No one cares whether you wanted to. - But I did want it.

Yeah, but Marianna, you're 13, you're a minor.

It's not possible.

They'll throw me in jail.

Come here.

I know it's hard for you.

All those videos and everything, but...

We'll make it. You just need to stay by my side.

Okay? I need you.

I need a woman who has my back.

Okay? Do you have my back?

- Yeah? - Okay.

Okay, good.

- Then I'll make a statement for you. - Okay.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Can I come in?

Well, come on then.

Where'd you get those? Were they in your box or...?

- Yeah. - I totally forgot about this.

Your grandma was so pissed when I went out like that.

I'm sorry I said I can't trust you anymore.

It's not entirely true.

I'm sorry, okay?

But sometimes it's just hard.

After everything that happened.

I was thinking, maybe it'd help if we had a few rules.

Wait a second.

Like,

we say that, for the next few days,

you come straight home after school.

And when I'm home too, we eat together and talk about our day.

We could at least try it out.

- That sounds so dumb, really. - Pander to me.

What do I get in return?

Time with me.

Thanks.

Good.

I'll take these.

Hello, Sibylle.

I wanted to ask if Simon is home. I haven't been able to reach him.

Really? No, he left about an hour or two ago.

He said he was meeting up with you.

Right.

Yeah, sorry, then I must've misunderstood. I'll just call him again.

Yeah, do that. His phone is probably on silent. Have a nice evening.

Thanks, you too.
