10 WEEKS EARLIER

It'll work out this time. I'm doing all the night shifts no one else wants.

The boss took me to one side yesterday and was hinting at it.

I'm sure it'll work out this time. And I covered all Astrid's days off.

I mean, there's no way they can pass me over.

- I... - Do you know what that'd mean financially?

I could pay for that US trip you've always dreamed of.

- I dropped that idea ages ago, Mom. - What? Why?

- I told you-- - What? When? You always wanted to go.

Whatever. Something else, then.

Are you going out?

- Yeah, to Viktor's. - Okay.

Shit. I've got to go. Have fun. Don't overdo it.

SUNDAY

Fuchs here. Hello?

Corvin, I'm so fucked off with you.

- I'm so fucked off. What have you done? - What? What do you mean?

I just woke up. What am I meant to have done?

The website texted me saying you deleted evidence from your fucking phone

and that I'm next.

- Hello? - Yeah, I...

Fuck...

Sorry, I deleted... the chat history with Linus

before I handed over the phone.

I was just scared that it'd come out that I helped build Shadow Leaks.

- That'd be a disaster... - Are you shitting me?

- I thought we were a team. - Someone's at the door.

Sorry. I'll call you back.

Jeez.

COME TO THE SCHOOLYARD.

NOW!

ALONE!

- Nola? - What happened?

I'll sort it out. I'm meeting Shadow Leaks now.

What the fuck are you yapping about?

My phone was lying on the doorstep

and the website texted me to come to the school now, alone.

- That's what I'm doing. - Alone?

- Yep. I've got this. Don't worry. - Don't go alone.

Don't worry about me. I got this, I swear.

Talk soon, bye.

- Okay, dickhead, what happened that day? - What day?

When your buddy killed himself. What happened?

How should I know? What the...? Are you Shadow Leaks now?

- No, dude. They told me to come here. - Okay.

Tell the truth now. Why did Linus kill himself?

- Say it into the camera! - But I don't know shit myself!

- Say it or I'm next on Shadow Leaks! - I don't know!

Why did Linus kill himself? Tell me!

No idea, man! What am I meant to say? I don't know!

Fuck. Come on.

- Dude, who was that? - Someone from basketball club.

Shit.

Fuck.

My husband's on a long trip, so I'm taking charge of the finances.

I've got the paperwork here.

We'll take a look and I'll be in touch about the ETFs

and whether we want to add them to our portfolio or not.

Bye.

- Hey, Mom. - Yeah?

If you put a bit more makeup on,

no one'll notice how fucked-up your life is.

My life's not fucked-up. It's complicated, but good.

True enough. I totally forgot how everything's always great with you.

You coming along to the lawyer's?

No way.

It'd be nice if you did. Your dad needs us, especially you.

Yeah?

I'm not James though.

Speaking of him, I'm gonna score some drugs.

Are you game? Ecstasy, a bit of speed?

- No? - Absolutely not.

Right, you're more into prescription drug abuse, right?

Maybe a Tilidine, a Xanax...?

Enough.

I've heard that helps get the stick from out people's asses.

Well, more for me then...

Thank you.

Wanted to apologize again

for deleting the chat history with Linus.

That was stupid of me.

I don't know what it actually means for you, but...

what I do know is you don't deserve it and I'm really sorry.

Thanks.

Ca-- Can you give me a vague idea what it's about?

It'd help me if I somehow understood what your secret is.

If you're able to. I don't know...

I don't know where to start.

The thing is, my mom and I were never really close.

I mean,

even if it sometimes seems like it, we never had a close bond.

I never felt she actually saw me.

I know it sounds stupid. So, anyway, I'd drink a lot.

Take drugs.

I went to parties, sneaked out...

And it was always fine.

Except for one time.

Somehow, I kind of bit off more than I could chew.

I realized it too. I'd popped way too many and...

I don't know. I got in the car anyway, because I just wanted to go home.

Hello?

EMERGENCY NUMBER

Are you okay?

- Nola, are you hurt? - I didn't mean to.

Oh my God...

Is he dead?

Mom, is he dead?

- I didn't mean to... - I know, I know.

- Listen to me... - Are you mad at me?

Listen carefully, okay? You need to leave. Right now, okay?

I can't breathe...

Nola, focus for me.

Nola, please!

- Concentrate. Breathe. - No...

Breathe.

Oh my God.

Okay.

Will I go to jail?

You're going to drive home and you're going to get into bed, okay?

We'll talk about everything else tomorrow.

Now stand up,

let's open the door,

get in the car.

- Get in. - Wait, wait.

Mom, are you mad at me? Please tell me.

Nola, you've got to get out of here now. Come on.

Shit.

Okay, buckle up.

We'll talk tomorrow. Drive home now.

Nola! Now!

Berolina to Stefan Five,

I'm at Schlangenbader Tunnel. One severely injured person.

Probably a hit and run. I need an ambulance and back-up.

My mom asked for a transfer and we left.

Heavy shit.

I'm so sorry.

Fuck.

Who else knows about it?

Nola?

Can you come upstairs, please?

What does this mean? What is this, Nola?

What do they know?

- Is this about Berlin? - I guess...

- Did you speak to anyone about it? - With Viktor once.

What? Why?

I sent him a voice note.

When?

After the accident. Who cares when?

Nola, you...

That's it.

I've got no idea what to do. You've...

What else can I do?

You've ruined everything.

Everything I tried to put in place to save you, you've ruined it, Nola.

- You didn't save me before either. - What did you say?

I said you didn't save me before either!

What do you think all this is?

A prison.

You're not in prison, Nola. You're in Vresow.

You go to school. You have friends.

I'm a small-town cop here. Do you think that's what I want?

It fucks me off that you keep talking about everything you had to give up!

And that you saved me. All you did was move back home.

- You don't talk about the accident at all! - Of course not.

That's the whole point! We don't talk to anyone about it!

How am I supposed to live without talking about it?

Ever since, I can't sleep anymore.

I can't breathe.

I... can't stop thinking about it.

I have these awful nightmares.

And you do nothing.

You ask how I am, but you don't want to know.

I ran somebody over and I can't even...

I can't even mention it to you.

Can you say something, please?

Can you answer one question honestly?

Is Andreas Grau my father?

Nola, I...

Why didn't you tell me?

- I... - Why didn't you tell me?

I didn't know how.

You're really the most selfish person I know.

You've ruined my life.

I've asked so many times who my father is.

Andreas was...

Andreas and Lisa were already together.

He was a total nerd.

- Into computers and all that and... - Mom, I don't even want to know.

When I found out I was pregnant with you...

- Yeah, what? - I wanted to tell him and...

- And he told me that Lisa was pregnant. - So? And?

Then what?

He didn't want us, or what?

- I didn't tell him. - What?

Nola, he got this amazing job offer from the intelligence service

and everything in his life... was going so well.

I figured that it was the best solution

for everyone.

Did you really think that?

At the time...

I don't think I can forgive you for that.

Hey...

I'm really sorry, but I overheard a lot of that.

And this is so insensitive,

but Andreas had a job offer from the intelligence service?

Corvin, can you please go home?

Nola,

Andreas Grau knows his way around computers.

Linus' father knows a lot about IT.

You get what I'm saying?

Give me a hand with this.

Got your phone?

Okay.

You just read out the router's URL.

Ready? One-nine-two, point...

- One-six-eight, point... - Two?

One-nine-two, point, one-six-eight.

- And then one point one point? - Yes.

So if Linus' laptop is online, it means it's actually Andreas Grau?

Basically, yeah.

Okay and... all networks...

What the fuck?

Okay, that means it's him.

That's the proof.

- It is, right? I mean... - Yeah.

And now what?

What are you two doing here?

Corvin, I asked you a question.

We know... We know you're behind Shadow Leaks.

That's not me.

I can see Linus' laptop's still logged in.

We all just want the truth now, right?

So I'll tell you my truth.

Then you can admit it.

Linus and I,

we set up the website,

but at some point

he became obsessed with it.

I thought if I just refused to participate,

he might let it go.

But he didn't.

He just kept going and going.

I couldn't be a part of that.

The site's dangerous, okay?

And you have to delete it now.

Nola has nothing to do with it, okay?

Corvin, were you there when Linus jumped?

No.

I know you two were going to meet here.

Just tell me what happened.

We were going to meet up, but Linus said

he was busy after all.

And I came here anyway. I...

I just wanted to check he was okay.

And when I arrived...

he was already lying there.

I totally underestimated the whole thing.

And how bad things were with him.

I'm sorry.

Where'd you get that?

From my dad.

I'm sorry.

Fuck.

What do we do now?

No idea what he meant when he said "I'm sorry" just now.

- What do we do now? - I don't know.

- Have you got a plan? - No!

I've got no idea what to do.

Show me.

THIS WEBSITE IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE.

- What are you doing here? - We need to talk.

- I'm meeting a client. Can we do it later? - I know. I'm your client.

We need to talk. Come on. Please.

- Are you shitting me? - No.

Okay.

How much do you have on you?

- Who cares? - I'll buy it all.

Simon, we've been here before.

I already fucked up once. I'm not selling to you.

James' death wasn't your fault.

As if I didn't know he was doing drugs. He was my brother, man.

In the end, he was using every day.

One day, I came home from practice.

He was sitting in his room,

high as a kite.

And he told me he wasn't feeling well,

asked if I could help him.

Said he wasn't coping, his heart was beating too fast...

He wondered if the shit had been cut with something.

I guess that's when he texted you.

I told him to relax.

To relax, do another line,

and then we'd get in the pool together

and he'd be fine.

I wanted our father to see him like that just once.

To see his model son for what he really was:

a fucked-up junkie.

So I tell him

to head to the pool and wait for me,

while I go get some towels.

When I came back with Rainer to land him in it...

he was lying there...

choked to death on his own vomit.

- That's too much. - Take it.

But don't use it to restock, okay?

Okay.

Hello?

It's me. Can we talk?

- Hi. - Hey.

I just wanted to apologize for yesterday evening.

It was a bit... a bit much.

What do you say we just hit the road?

You and me, somewhere, anywhere...

Leave all this shit behind us.

My car's outside.

Why are you laughing?

I'm serious.

I don't think that's a good idea.

Why not?

I need help.

I can help you, baby.

- We'll sort it out together. - I need real help.

I need to look out for myself now.

Yeah.

Hi, Sora.

Let me know if you need anything, okay?

Hey, everything okay?

- Yeah. - Listen.

I think you did the right thing.

We deserve better.

I didn't do it for you, Mom.

- Excuse me? - I didn't do it for you.

You don't even see me. You've got no idea what I want.

I'll never be the woman you're trying to turn me into.

Hey, Nola.

I wanted to be honest with you. There's one thing I've lied to you about.

The day Linus died,

I was there. I mean...

We were up there together on the rooftop.

Yeah, we'd... we'd been arguing.

He talked a lot about this person

who was going to get involved too, but he wouldn't tell me who it was.

He just wouldn't budge

and yelled at me the whole time.

I just wanted to destroy Shadow Leaks and to break his laptop.

Then it just kind of escalated.

And...

I kind of jerked the laptop out of his hands...

And then he slipped.

And he just fell.

I didn't know what to do.

I just made a run for it.

Fuck.

DO YOU WANT TO DELETE THIS MESSAGE?

YES

Hey, baby,

I'm sorry about yesterday. I acted like an asshole.

Of course we'll go away together.

Call me, okay?

I'll wait for you.

Vresow Police. Krueger speaking. How can I help you?

This is Julia Wassermann.

I want to report myself.

Can you get a room ready? I'll be there in 15 minutes.

I didn't tell the truth.

We slept with each other and I'd like to go back to the police.

Come here.

Everything's okay.

Why are you taking him with you?

He didn't do anything. Please!

Flavio!

Flavio!

Should we maybe...?

Hi.

Sorry, bro.

And

for only coming to see you now.

And I know it doesn't change anything, the shitty flowers and all. I know that.

But somehow, I wanted you to know.

So... there.

It'd be okay if you hated me now.

I'd get that, of course.

I'll always be a cowardly little bastard.

But I'd still really like it if we could somehow stay friends.

I mean, in therapy, I can't talk about what really happened.

That means I'll probably come here a lot to talk about it.

But if that annoys you or you don't want to hear about it,

just tell me to shut up, okay?

Thanks.

Hi.

Hi.

We've met.

Don't know if you remember me.

We spoke briefly at the memorial at school.

Yeah.

I've come here a few times already too.

It's your first time, right?

You have had a lot on your plate, recently, so...

I know Linus never told you,

but we're actually in the same... boat.

Know what I mean?

To be honest, no.

Let me put it this way:

It's always been the same for me as for you guys. The bullying, I mean.

And, same as with you, it never got any better.

No matter how often I tried to get help from the school,

it was useless.

- Fucking son of a bitch! - Asshole!

- Let's beat it, boys. Quick. - Go, go, go!

I was all alone.

The craziest part of it all was that I started thinking it was all just normal.

Then I got to know Linus.

Hey.

Hey.

What's up?

He made it clear something had to be done about it.

So, welcome.

He said he had a plan and knew exactly how to take revenge.

- You built all this yourselves? - Come here.

Sure.

So, we have...

Then I heard the word, the name...

Shadow Leaks.

It's basically cloud access.

He told me everything, including that you weren't really convinced.

And how he couldn't really trust you anymore.

So he asked me if I wanted in.

I know he was your best friend.

But I'd never had someone like Linus in my life before.

That's why it was such a shock hearing he'd killed himself.

I mean,

I couldn't wrap my head around it.

Why would he do that before we'd even started?

Shadow Leaks was... so perfect,

do you see?

I wanted to get it online, but I didn't have the know-how myself.

And...

I couldn't come to you.

I needed to find someone who was IT savvy and had access to Linus' laptop.

Mr. Grau?

Can we talk?

He approached me and wanted me to join Shadow Leaks...

Shadow Leaks? What's this about? What is that?

I told him everything about it.

And what Linus had intended to do with it.

In the end, we made a deal.

He wanted to use Shadow Leaks to avenge his son

and help me deal with the people who'd bullied me.

But I had to do something for him first.

I wanted in.

I was supposed to get him your phone and your passcode.

I guess he didn't understand why his son would've killed himself.

He needed answers.

His only hope was you and Linus' chat history.

I tried to build a relationship with you.

Hey, Corvin.

You don't really know me, but I just wanted to say... about Linus...

Yeah, timing's not good...

But you weren't interested.

- Okay, see you around. - Yeah.

Then I saw her.

I didn't even know her,

but something told me that new girl could be the key to your phone.

Nola.

So we hacked her. And we got lucky. She was perfect.

Everything went according to plan.

Until I saw Andreas had taken down the page.

Just like that.

Without telling me.

That was not the idea.

That's why we're gonna finish it.

You and me.

Listen,

I understand you, I really do.

But I'm out. Sorry.

I think the whole Shadow Leaks thing

was a really stupid idea, and still is.

You should get it out of your head too.

No.

You and I,

we're going to keep doing it.

Sorry, no.

Count me out.

I kind of jerked the laptop out of his hands.

And then he slipped.

Where'd you get that?

And he just fell.

I just didn't know what to do.

I deleted that immediately. That's...

I just made a run for it.

I had your phone.

You handed it over to Shadow Leaks yourself.

PERMANENT LISTENING SOFTWARE INSTALLED.

I could listen in on you the whole time.

Shadow Leaks has to return. And you have to help me.

Or you're next.

See you soon.
