5 WEEKS EARLIER

Yes, I know him.

He's a colleague.

Benedikt Herms.

We were at his place.

We had a bit to drink, but I...

It doesn't make sense. I can't remember a thing.

Something must have happened.

Did you find anything I can take to the police?

Knockout drops? I don't know... GHB?

I couldn't find any DNA, no.

No evidence of any of those substances. The test is negative.

You do know what that means? I saved your son's ass.

Yes. And you need to understand that I want the best for my son now too.

And as you surely know, Simon's having an awful year at school.

Who'd be better than you, the principal,

to make sure he gets through the year well?

Okay.

I'm happy to explain it to you.

SHADOW LEAKS

SATURDAY

Sure, I understand.

Okay.

I'll pass that on. Thank you.

Looks pretty bad for your husband.

Lawyer sees next to no chance for a suspended sentence.

Fine, then I guess I'll have to take charge.

You think they'll let us bring your dad food?

He must be hungry.

A nice salad or a light chicken dish?

- Can you call the lawyer again and...? - You know what? Do it yourself.

This is Patricia. I'm not available right now. Leave a...

We had a nice date. I cooked for her.

Beef tenderloin, a good red wine.

And at some point, we had sex.

But it was all consensual.

And how do you know that?

You really want details?

She kissed me. I kissed her.

We undressed each other. You know how it is...

Any idea why GHB was found in Ms. Kahle's blood?

So we felt like doing a bit of GHB...

You'd have found it in my blood too.

I have a joint once a week. Are you going to arrest me for it?

If it makes you feel any better, I've been suspended from school.

Everyone's made up their mind. But I didn't do a thing.

Have a nice day, Mr. Herms.

We got an email from school today.

Did you know that Benedikt Herms... was placed "on leave"?

His father too, right?

Crazy what's going on. First the bullying, now they're all driven by their dicks.

Please, Marianna's coming.

- Clear the table, please. - Will do.

- Marianna! - So now Hopper's taking over?

- What? What's he taking over? - The email says he's the new principal.

Who was he again?

The small, bald guy. I liked him, actually.

- He runs the IT club. - IT. So he's cool then, right?

I hope this is it for those Herms.

They're so done for.

Marianna!

WHERE'S CORVIN'S PHONE?

YOU'VE GOT UNTIL TONIGHT!

OR YOU'RE NEXT!

EMERGENCY NUMBER

Will you go to jail?

- Hello? - Hi, Nola.

It's got to be Hopper.

It must be fucking Hopper.

Can you hear me, Nola? Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Yeah? Okay. So hear me out.

Hopper had to get rid of Herms to get his position.

So his plan's probably to get the school out of the shit that way,

enabling him to stay principal.

I've just thought it all through. So far, he's only benefited from the site.

And he's always had this thing with Linus and me, wanting to protect us and stuff.

So it's got to be Hopper that Linus brought in to Shadow Leaks.

It all makes total sense to me now.

Here's the thing:

Mr. Hopper will be at the Youth Center's opening party tonight.

So what does that mean?

It means that

you now write to Shadow Leaks

saying you have my phone, my code,

and we'll do the handover there tonight.

Then we've got the proof.

Okay.

Hey, sweetie, what's up?

I have to ask you something.

Okay. Everything okay?

Did you sleep with Simon?

What? What makes you think that?

I just want you to be honest with me.

Okay, no, of course I haven't slept with Simon.

Who's saying I did?

But you're into him, right?

Okay.

Look, I... I mean...

I... do kind of like Simon.

But Patricia, you've been my very best friend from day one.

I'd never come between you two.

You've really got nothing to worry about.

Patricia...

- Did you get the money? - No, I'm so sorry.

- I really don't know how to pull it off. - My guys in Poland are waiting.

Only the fucking money's missing.

- Without it, we can't run away. - Okay.

- We clear? You got it? - Yeah, I get it.

Baby, it's me, what's the matter? Why's your phone off?

I was busy.

Okay, and...

are we going to the opening party together?

No, sorry, I'm going with Nola.

What?

Why with Nola?

- Do you love me? - Yes.

- Good. Then get the fucking money. Please. - Okay.

Okay, I'll do my very best. I've got this.

- I'll sort it out somehow. - I'm counting on you.

Alright, I'll be in touch, okay?

I can't talk about it now. Can we talk later?

I wanna talk about it now.

Sorry, I...

I'll see you, okay?

Fuck.

Is that my top?

No, it's mine.

And...?

So, why are you in such a good mood?

Just be glad I am.

I am. Can I go to a party?

No.

Why not?

There'll be alcohol and I don't want you to drink.

Please, Mom, Patricia called and asked if I'd go with her.

Patricia...

Please never say "Patricia" like that again.

Oh my God!

I've got goose pimples everywhere.

- Can I please go? - Okay, but you're home at ten.

No booze, no weed, nothing. And home on time.

- Twelve. - Ten.

- Ten. - Eleven?

- Ten. - It's not even dark by then.

- I don't care. Ten. - Why on earth ten?

Nola? Ten. Non-negotiable. Take ten or leave it.

- Okay. - Okay, super.

- Bye. - Bye.

Nola, wait. Shadow Leaks hasn't texted you, right?

- No, why? - It's worrying me.

It's traveling. It's in Berlin too. Birgit told me in Hanna's school they...

Birgit's full of shit, always has been.

- Can I take these? To do shots...? - Nola!

- No... have fun! - See you at 12.

At ten!

Got any drugs or what?

- Hi. - Hey.

Where were you?

In the bathroom.

Your fly's still undone.

Hello?

Hello, everyone. Can you hear me?

I don't know what to say.

I'm incredibly proud to see so many dedicated young people here.

That's why it makes me so happy that we can officially open

our youth center today.

Who is that?

Just the head of the youth center.

Since the youth center is working closely with Vresow High,

it is my pleasure to welcome its new principal,

Mr. Moritz Hopper.

Thank you so much. I'm so happy to be here.

I think he's earned a big round of applause from us.

Our Basti, Sebastian!

I bow down before you.

I'm so happy that this youth center...

- Okay, what's the plan? - See that palm tree there?

I put my phone there in the bark, in the middle.

So you write to Shadow Leaks now

saying you put my cell there, you tell him my code,

and we lay low on watch until Hopper goes and takes it.

- Then we'll know he's Shadow Leaks. - Okay, then what?

What do we do then?

Then we've got the proof we need, and we bring in the police.

- That's the plan, Corvin? - Yeah!

So you want to tell them your teacher has your phone?

That he's Shadow Leaks and... you know, we have all the chats and all.

So we've got the proof.

He can just say he found your phone in the palm tree.

We've got the chats. It's proof enough.

It's not proof at all.

What...?

Fuck it. What's the code?

Three-four-seven-five.

Three-four-seven-five. Okay. We'll watch from here?

I thought I could stay here. If you want, you can go up there.

You've got a better view in case he runs off or whatever.

Did you bring binoculars? Fingerprint set? Some plaster?

Come on, shut up.

Enjoy yourselves!

Should we go upstairs? The view will be good up there.

- Yeah, sure. - I'll hang around at the bar.

- See you. - Right.

- Corvin? - Yeah?

- I... I just wanted to say... - What?

- I just wanted to say I'm sorry. - About what?

That I never intervened. I know how the guys treated you badly.

And I didn't say anything.

I'm sorry.

That's really nice of you. Thanks.

Was that stupid?

No, it was real sweet.

Let's go upstairs.

- Hey, what's up! - Things cool with your dad?

- Yeah, sure. - Isn't he headed for jail, dude?

Whatever, man. I don't give a shit.

Fuck him. I say we head for the bar. You up for it?

- Sure thing. - Yeah, dude.

- Let's do it. - Yeah, bro.

Oh my God.

Wow, it looks so different.

Yeah?

Yeah, it used to be the pool room.

I used to come here a lot as a kid.

Crazy.

CORVIN'S PHONE'S IN THE PALM TREE.

- Everything okay? - Totally, just gotta text my mom.

- Everything okay? - With my mom?

Totally. But she wants me home by ten.

That's why. Right...

- Do we still have time? - Yeah, totally.

I wanted to thank you again.

For being there for me.

And... for being such a good listener.

I really needed that.

Totally. I mean...

I like listening to you.

And...

I also know that it's not that great with Simon. It's...

I don't know.

What's the deal with you two now?

I just can't get out of it somehow.

How do you mean?

I don't know.

- But I... - Don't cry.

I just don't know what to do. It was so good you'd just listen.

That you were there.

You're a really awesome person and I hope you know it.

You too.

- Hey. - Hi.

So? You good?

Yeah, all good. What about you? Everything okay?

Yeah. Have you seen Patricia?

Ages ago, yeah. She came with Nola.

- Nola? - It was a while ago.

Don't know where they went.

You looking for her?

No.

Never mind.

Having fun?

Totally, yeah.

All good.

Not exactly my type of party.

Nice sweater.

Thanks.

Sorry.

I mean, I'm really sorry.

Is this because you're buzzed...?

Yeah?

Oh right.

Sorry, I didn't want

to give you false hope or anything.

I thought...

- Sorry. - No, all good.

I'll see you in a minute, okay? Sorry.

Where did you get that one?

- The blue one? - Yeah.

Looks really cool.

Pinched it from this dead-pricey place in Berlin.

You stole it?

Didn't you ever swipe stuff like rings and jewelry?

No.

- What, you just go for it? - Not anymore. Chill.

But back then? Sure. All the time.

From a dead-pricey shop like that!

Like, I stole this one too.

- But that one's super cheap. - Did you nick them all?

No. I have some I didn't. I'm just not wearing them now.

But this one leaves a stain on your fingers.

At one point, I stopped stealing cheap...

Smart of you.

And moved onto these kinds.

- Makes sense. - Doesn't it?

Shit, I gotta go home.

Should we head on down?

Yeah, sure.

- Corvin, what is it? - Where is he?

- What's the matter? - Everything okay?

- Do you need some water? - Yeah, that'd be great.

- Where'd he go? Did you see him? - Who?

The guy with the hood!

I was watching Hopper.

- Didn't you see him with my phone? - He's got your phone?

- Yeah, he ran outside. - Did you see his face?

No, he had a hood on and this mouth thingy!

A water, please.

How's it going? There you are!

Can I get you a drink?

- And one for your girlfriend? - Are you okay?

Me? I'm great!

- Are you drunk? - Of course, it's a party, right?

- If you can't be drunk here... - Go home, Simon.

Go home.

Why do you think you can tell me what to do?

I don't tell you who to chill with or not, right?

You think she's interested in someone like you?

You think that?

Why? What am I like?

You're really messed up. Really wrecked.

That's why I was dating you.

You know what?

Go fuck your teacher.

Hey, what are you yelling about? Everything okay?

Let's get really drunk, come on.

You should go for water.

- What's with him, dude? - He's right, bro, you've had enough.

- Go home. - You telling me what to do too?

No, but your mood's spoiling it for everyone.

Then have a drink with me.

I get you're in a bad way. So take it out on me, then.

- Why on you? - Because of James. I know it was my fault.

Shut up!

- Simon, let it go! - Come here! Shut the fuck up, man!

Calm down, guys.

- Okay? - Yeah, fine.

Hey.

Crappy party.

Yeah.

Patricia's really pissed with me.

That makes two of us.

I've had it with those jerks.

That's it.

Over and out.

You bet.

Fuck.

You're gonna sleep here?

Simon...

Simon?

Hey...

Simon?

That wasn't because of me, I hope?

Hey, you okay? Wait...

Open the window, Simon.

- What are you doing? - What do you want?

Bus stop's over there. Take the bus, please.

- No way. - Where are the others?

What others?

We can take the bus together.

Or call a taxi. Or let me call you one.

- What do you want, man? - I can call a taxi on your phone.

- You drive then. - I'm not driving your car.

- Simon... - Come on, drive.

Come on, get in.

- Simon, this is so dumb. - It's an automatic.

- Are you shitting me? - Come on. Get in!

Come on.

Okay, buckle up, then.

As if.

What is it? Get going!

Key's in the ignition.

All good?

Do you have the money?

This is what I got. Is it enough?

Bro, enough? This is... My... Where'd you get all this?

Crazy.

Thanks, baby, okay?

So can we go?

Listen...

I thought about it again.

About the whole thing, you know?

And I think...

I don't want you thinking I don't want you along.

But I think it'd be smarter if I went there first

and you joined, like, a week or two later.

And... Yeah.

Why?

Imagine if your parents notice.

Yeah.

- They'll call the police. - Who cares if they notice?

- They know what I think about it. - Just do the math. What happens then?

But I made that statement for you.

Right, but you're 13 and I'm 18.

It can't happen.

But it's been happening all along.

Hey, we can do this.

No, I... Yeah, we can do it, but not like this.

Marianna, I really have to go first.

Just trust me, okay?

I'll sort it all out, let you know,

and you'll come afterward, and then we're free.

We can do what we want then. We'll be safe.

But we're not now.

Okay?

Don't be sad.

You can trust me.

Or don't you trust me?

Do you trust me?

You trust me, don't you?

What's the matter with you?

You said we'd go away together and now you give me all this bullshit.

You just mess me about all the time.

One day it's this, the next it's that, the next, whatever.

- Quiet, my grandma's sleeping. - I don't give a fuck!

- What? - I don't give a shit!

You said we'd run away together...

- Shut up. Shut up. - No!

You're just messing me about.

- Me? Messing you about? - Yes!

- My life's fucked up because of you. - Because of me?

Because of you I'm the town's fucking pedo!

You didn't give a shit about that when we were fucking!

Are you retarded or what?

Oh my God...

What are you doing?

- Stop that. - No! Leave me alone!

- So fuck off, but without me. - Are you stupid?

Fuck you.

Oh God, man...

We said ten.

- My phone ran out. - I don't want to hear it.

Mom...

Hello?

Hi, Nola, it's Corvin. Everything okay?

What number is this?

My mom's.

About Shadow Leaks, have they written to you yet?

Not yet.

Can I send you something on this number?

Yeah, sure. What is it?

Did you get it?

Yeah.

What's this?

The one in the middle's my mom.

But do you know who that is on the right with the purple neckerchief?

Totally, that's Andreas Grau, Linus' dad.

Was he friends with your mom or what?

I'll call you back in a minute, okay?

Bye.

YOU TWO THINK YOU'RE REALLY CLEVER?

ALL THE NECESSARY CHAT THREADS ARE MISSING FROM THAT PHONE.

YOU FUCKED UP, NOLA!
