Come over! I'm doing something right.

(Gulls calls)

I've hired the AB, yes?

If there is any booking left, then you just do not go.

Not worth it.

I know you all that Here's a bit boring.

That was all rather my dream.

Not necessarily yours.

But when I'm back, then you have decided.

Stay or go, there is nothing in between.

(Music)

Ulrike drove off.

Why?

Do you know where my husband is was found?

About a kilometer from here.

Are you showing it to me?

And what if you are see us together?

And what are you going to do now?

I do not know.

Maybe I will sell the house. What should I do here without him?

What are you talking about? You're okay much better here than in Hamburg.

You know me in Hamburg but not.

I do not have to.

I'll see you when you get here and when you go away again.

Why do you actually have it? do not leave?

I have it.

He left me, years ago.

It's just high tide.

He was still with me two weeks ago.

He told me he was coming wants to see Bettina.

And why?

He was shitty.

He was lonely, too.

Bettina has been here for two months.

And then he comes just to her?

Although she ...

(just) Yes.

Can somehow Do not release.

Since when does he have this kidney disease?

Pretty long. For six years or so.

Can you die from it?

If I am a doctor and I know I have to die,

and I want to kill myself come on medication, right?

To drown is pretty much agonizing, he knows that.

If I want to kill myself ... It was an accident.

He knows his way out in the watt! He was much weaker than usual.

He was powerless.

He probably has misjudges.

(Door is opened.)

Nice that you are finally here.

Were you with him?

Yes.

Just let.

Do you like to eat something? M tired.

Can not you sleep?

Come here.

What is it?

He really did bad in the end.

He would have needed you.

He was with me because he was needed someone.

Why were not you there for him?

I was always there for him.

Not when it mattered.

Why Tom?

Is that so important?

You were in bed with him ... or Did you just have a nice talk?

I do not think so, that that concerns you.

Dad told me that you nothing to each other had.

Did he tell you that?

He hinted.

Did not you want him anymore?

(Gasanzünderklicken)

Can you stop it, please, to look at me like this?

Let me do it.

Why must in this house always everything broken?

You have the stove can be repaired.

Why did you come here?

You have to gas all the way turn up small.

Leave it!

Do you want to eat something or not? You should do that!

I do not want to hurt you.

But you do.

I love you.

It was in Cape Town.

There was this woman.

I want to tell you right away. Right after my return.

Very strong.

Do you want to go away?

(Deep inhalation)

I applied in Husum.

Is that the summit?

Can my dad do not leave alone.

It's a little different with us as with you and your mother.

Husum is Mount Everest.

If he loves you, he has to let you go too.

Can I talk to you?

Now?

Good morning, Maike.

Come in.

What's the crap? Is not your construction site.

Want you there now too still hanging in or something?

Where is Ulli? She's with her sister.

It will be back in a few days. Coffee?

When is your last time? talked to Halbach?

No idea, when was he? last time here?

Christmas, or something?

He is black, right?

He called you.

Do you want me now? show off or what?

Who wants to show someone here?

I can fool myself alone.

The day before yesterday noon.

Where have you been?

I was here, I still have Tidied up a bit.

You are the last he called.

At 14:03 clock was high water.

That's when he drowned.

At 12:47, the call was.

What did he want?

Yes, what is it?

Okay, I was not here. I was with her.

He called, he wanted with her talk. They had some stress.

And why does he call you, if he wants to talk to her?

He probably wants to show that he knows.

Did he say where he was? In the watt.

Was he panicking? I do not think so.

Was that a call for help? No!

If that was a cry for help, and you did not come ...

You know what that means.

(exhales) The man was ill, he did not want anymore.

He called them from Watt, because he wanted to say goodbye.

Well.

Then I'll speak again with Mrs. Halbach.

Wait!

She is not feeling well.

Not at all.

Whether accident or suicide, It does not matter.

If your colleagues come here now and turn everything upside down, why?

What's that good for?

I do not want, that you hurt Ulli

(Oppressive music)

Mia?

(Birdsong)

(Rustle)

Hello!

Maike had to go already, I have I promised to help here.

Hello.

I was with her last night. They have already slept.

Do you maybe have 'coffee for me?

Or a tea?

Yes, please!

I'm sorry about your dad.

He has always sealed himself off, when he was here.

But Maike has him really liked.

Thank you.

And you?

How long have you not been here?

Not so long ago. Six weeks ago.

I was by my mother In the holiday house.

I learned for a test.

And what are you doing now? I study medicine.

Then you can do the practice take over from your father.

Yes ... I do not know yet.

I'll probably not done fast enough.

Take your time, my dear!

Then everything will be fine.

You certainly did not come here to clear my stall.

Let Maike go!

You can not tie her up, because you want someone here,

who cares about her.

Drink your coffee and then you go!

Next time you're out of stables Come, you leave the shoes outside!

(Music)

I have to speak to you again.

Did you see Mia?

She was with me last night.

Her husband has you out of Watts called shortly before his death.

He talked to Tom first and then with you.

What did he want?

This is private.

They know what they did not do Assistance is.

Then it was not an accident and no suicide.

He did not ask for help. Rather?

He had HIV. He did not want anymore.

I thought he had kidney disease.

That was a consequence of it.

Does this Mia know that?

(Strained music)

(A car drives by.)

Hello!

I'm glad, Lambert. Harms.

Did you receive my call? Do I have.

Do you want a coffee?

If my stomach is from the ferry has recovered, gladly.

Sit down short out there.

So, an accident?

Hm.

But the man was one experienced mudflat hiker ...

The fairway is new been dredged.

The location of the creeks is changing constantly.

Does not he have a current map? with you?

He downloaded it and printed.

One on his desk, he had the other with him.

And yet you think that it was an accident?

Who does not know the entrance, he thinks you can wade through.

If they are suddenly so deep you have to take a detour

and then... the time is running out.

The tide is on time.

The man had HIV. Perhaps... was it a suicide?

Are more beautiful deaths as drowning.

And I believe that him as a doctor that was also clear.

Thanks for the Coffee!

You still have to sign.

I would like to have one more, check two things.

And then I would like to report to you just send it?

I think you are sure? What else do you want to check?

Where exactly he is ran in the mud.

I think that's part of it.

Not that something like that happened again.

Alright then ... tell me when you are ready

And if it is this result remains

then I would do the investigation to adjust.

Do you agree? Hm.

Are you up to it? already decided?

As?

Because of Husum.

The lesson.

Do you have my letter do not get?

But!

But.

I can wait one more week.

But then I have to tap the list.

(Oppressive music)

I wanted you stuff give from your husband.

Are you done with the investigations?

Not quite yet.

But the body is released.

Moment...

I really like your husband.

He could do the best Build sand castles.

Yes, he has with you always happy to do it.

Good night!

Would you like to come, if Alexander is buried?

He would have been happy.

OK.

(Sad music)

(Low)

Obituary notice from Mr. Halbach.

Where is the letter from Husum?

I opened it by mistake.

I thought he was with me!

You look at your mother always more similar.

(Sigh)

If necessary, it even manages your tractor ...

and at storm tide the helicopter.

This is not Kyrgyzstan, and I'm not out of the world!

I could talk to Peterson. Why?

I could give him the yard offer for lease.

Only five years ...

He gets a good price. He will not refuse.

And I'll rent you for the money in Husum a nice apartment.

Dad, I earn my own money.

You have an adult daughter.
