Hello?

Niklas.

Hey.

Hey, come on. Stop it.

For you.

Where am I?

Mia, we're in Strasbourg.

Your whole "I can't remember, let's start over" shtick won't work.

Niklas, how did I get here?

Mia, you have to stop partying so hard!

You're not my father! Let me do as I please!

-Hey! -Fuck you!

What day is it?

Thursday.

Good. That's good.

I remember yesterday was Wednesday.

-Niklas, something's wrong with me. -You're right.

-Don't be that way. -Coming from you?

The last thing I remember is you in the hospital.

Wait, wait…

You black out at parties every night, and now you're using it as an excuse?

I never understood why you dumped me like that.

Honestly, it took a while to get over it.

I've let go, and I'm open to something new.

You can't just waltz in here acting like nothing happened.

Whatever I did,

I'm sorry.

Hurting you is the last thing I want.

What are you doing here?

I called him to come pick you up. You didn't seem in good shape.

Hi.

You can just let yourselves out. Bye.

Bye.

What?

Sorry.

Thanks. For being there, that is.

I got your message.

That Lorenz was in the van.

-I was held captive. -With Lorenz?

In the car. She knows something. I have to talk to her.

-I doubt she wants to talk to you. -I don't give a shit.

She'll have to talk to me.

Hello.

I'm looking for Professor Lorenz.

-She no longer works here. -I know.

Surely you know where to find her.

We're not allowed to divulge such information.

Privacy protection.

Listen, I know Professor Lorenz, Tanja, very well.

-I've been to her house. -Then try there.

I have. Her house is gone.

Yeah, right.

Listen, it's really urgent.

I'm not well. She can help me.

Mia?

Monique.

-What do you want? -I need to talk to Lorenz.

She won't want to see you after what you did.

-What I did? -You ruined everything.

Monique, please. I just need to talk to her.

Stay out of it!

What?

Mia would like you to show her out.

It's really important.

-Young lady, please leave. -Screw you!

Thanks. I'll show myself out.

Help!

Like I said, we don't give out private--

I'm not leaving until I have Lorenz's new address!

-What's going on? -Nothing, Dean.

-I have to speak to Tanja Lorenz. -Ms. Akerlund. Trouble again?

-I'll see to it. -It's urgent.

You do know that Tanja Lorenz

received death threats after you exposed her, right?

No, I didn't.

Religious fanatics, conspiracy theorists, right-wing and left-wing radicals.

Please, I have to talk to her.

How should we know where she is?

Because you know her.

We thought so too. Until your research.

Which hasn't helped the University of Freiburg's reputation

or that of scientists in general.

Lorenz's actions were the problem, not that I uncovered them.

Only with science were people on the train saved.

So maybe Professor Lorenz didn't,

but at least we students helped the reputation of scientists.

I heard Tanja Lorenz is back living with her mother.

With her mother? Do you know where?

No, Tanja never spoke about that.

But I have a feeling you'll find out.

In three months, you'll be as pretty as the paphiopedilum sanderianum

if I tend to you every two hours, nights too, but I can set an alarm.

I told you I can regulate nutrient intake with a drug dosage chip, my little enzyme.

That's okay, my firefly.

I got this. I'll do my research, you do yours.

-Hi. -Hey, Mia.

You were up early!

You show up and Madam von Fürstenberg awakes.

My mom called so many times my phone thought it was an emergency

and turned "Do not disturb" off.

She'll be in town tomorrow and wants to treat us to dinner.

I don't get it.

To thank us for leaving the apartment so fast.

What?

No, I don't get why this post

got three times the follows as the others.

It's only about seeing if tanning with a UV flashlight works.

The post didn't blow up because of the tech stuff,

it's because of the bare skin.

Sex sells. Even my grandma knew that.

TANJA LORENZ MOTHER

"Tanja Lorenz not a mother."

"Mother of dead children comes forward."

"Mother of Homo Deus embryo presses charges."

"Professor Lorenz, you were raised by a single mother."

"That's private. I won't talk about that."

"After school, I'd often walk home along the Upper Rhine,

and there was a children's cemetery on a small hill."

"I vowed that no child would ever die of disease again."

UPPER RHINE

CHILDREN'S CEMETERY

Hey, Ole.

-Hey. -You grew up on the Upper Rhi--

Ole, what's that?

This?

An overclocked Alienware Area 51m gaming laptop

with custom AI enhancement.

I mean that thing.

Oh, this. Glad you asked. I need your help.

I had an idea and converted my brain-computer interface into

a different kind of interface.

-And Chen-Lu won't take any photos. -Enough groupies send you hearts.

You don't need swimsuit photos.

It's not a swimsuit, it's an interface!

Would you, please?

Do you know a children's cemetery on the Upper Rhine?

Do I look like I'd know?

-Yeah. -One second.

Okay.

-Okay. -Okay.

-Okay. -Okay.

Okay, Ole. Where's this children's cemetery?

-What do you want there? -I have to find Lorenz.

-Did she die? -No.

-She grew up there. -In a cemetery?

No, in the city where it is.

-In Rheinhausen? -What?

That's where she is. No idea if there's a cemetery.

-How do you know? -I'm following #LorenzGate.

Since the shitstorm against her started

and without any new daily scandals, people post sightings of her.

Rheinhausen's the location tag for the recent ones.

-You're the best. -Yeah.

Most tags are from an apartment block on the outskirts.

Feldstraße 24.

Feldstraße 24.

Is this a joke? What's this?

It's…

It's science.

Inappropriate?

Embarrassing?

It's so damn sexy, my firefly.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello, is anyone there?

It's me, Mia.

I have to talk to you.

Hello?

Amazon.

-Fuck off! -I have to talk to you.

I have to talk to you!

-Out! -Please.

Something's wrong. I have amnesia.

Not retrograde, anterograde, or congrade.

Get lost!

-This from the abduction? -Hands off.

I remember we were held captive together in a van.

Where did they take us?

Please.

I need your help.

-What's going on here? -This is one of my students.

You don't have any now.

She wanted to know how I'm doing.

My students are very worried about me.

I'm a role model.

Yeah, sure.

Have we met?

No, I don't think so.

You look familiar. Maybe I know your parents.

Mia's face is nondescript. Every person looks like her.

You staying for dinner?

-No need. -Great.

-We have so much to discuss. -Good.

I bought truffle cheese.

Yummy.

Mia, I can call you Mia, can't I?

How long have you known my daughter?

Since forever.

Since I was a child.

Mia's a very hardworking student.

Sadly, she lacks the vision for greatness.

Pride comes before the fall. Quod erat demonstrandum.

But you asked me to move back in.

Yes, because you have nothing left. Except for this strange car.

When kids fall in with the wrong crowd,

years of the best parenting were all for nothing.

What do your parents do, Mia? I'm sure they're very proud of you.

My parents are dead.

I'm so sorry.

My husband left when Tanja was a baby. He never wanted kids.

That's none of her business.

Today women can have both a career and kids.

-I had to choose back then. -No one asked you to.

I never said I regretted it.

But I know you do.

How was it when Homo Deus was exposed?

Did Tanja come straight to you? Where was she?

Mia has to go.

It's almost dark, and you have to bike all the way to Freiburg.

Be a shame if anything happened to you.

I'm still Professor Lorenz to you.

It's okay. I have a light with me, Professor Lorenz.

I have chocolate mousse in the fridge.

Get out now.

Who kidnapped us? Do you know who it was?

You have neurological issues. Go see a doctor.

I already went.

Are you somehow involved?

You protecting our kidnapper?

I'm protecting no one but myself.

I won't help you.

You destroyed my life's work.

I am your life's work.

What's with Mia?

I don't give a shit about Mia.

HOMO DEUS PROJECT IN THE SPOTLIGHT

What's wrong with you?

WHAT DID YOU GUYS DO TO MIA?

FOUND LORENZ. DEAD END…

JASPER TODAY, 12:15 AM

NIKLAS GOT YOUR TEXT.

DON'T KNOW WHY WE SHOULD TALK. YOU MADE YOUR POINT.

SORRY AGAIN FOR THIS MORNING. DIDN'T MEAN TO STALK YOU.

NIKLAS MESSAGE JASPER

IT'S OKAY. I JUST NEED SPACE…

MESSAGES

JASPER HERE FOR YOU IF YOU NEED ME…

What're you doing here?

I thought you missed me.

Mia, what is it? Mia!

What's wrong? What is it?

What's there?

What is it?

There's nothing, doll. Come here.

Everything's okay.

Calm down. It'll be all right. I promise.

And these hallucinations are new?

Yes.

I never had hallucinations before.

And you haven't taken any mind-altering substances?

No.

Is it…

Is it possible that they did something to me?

What do you mean, "did something to you"?

No idea.

Experiments or something.

I believe your symptoms are real.

But we must be careful you don't mix other people up in it.

I have a suspicion, which I'm discussing with a colleague,

about why you could've just forgotten three months.

I'll know more next time.

I can prescribe you neuroleptics for now.

They'll help get rid of the hallucinations and hopefully calm you down.

Here's my personal number.

Call me if you want to talk.

Mia, try to calm down.

You'll see. We'll manage this.

Take your hamsters home over the weekend.

After intervening in the memory function, it is paramount

that you monitor the test subjects very closely.

-Hi. -Hi.

Hey.

He's so cute. What's his name?

-Hamster. -"Hamster"? Are you kidding me?

He needs a name.

Imagine if you were just called "girl," "woman," or "female person."

Willi.

-I'll call you Willi. -Nice. Willi wants to know.

-Who doesn't? -Ba-boom.

Hey, hold on.

Yes, I can talk.

No, she doesn't know anything.

No, you don't have to do anything. I'll handle this.

MED STUDENT, FEMALE BORN 10/7/00 LIVES IN FREIBURG

PARK VAN/LORENZ INFUSION SON-TATTOO

You and me, Willi. You and me.

So?

Are you done?

Wow! You look great.

My mom invited us to dinner.

Shit.

I totally forgot, Lotta. Sorry.

I'll believe your "I forgot" excuse this time.

So, what are you wearing?

Hey, I'm totally out of it.

I'll come next time, but…

I get that things are crappy now.

But it'd do you good to get out. Change of scenery.

I miss hanging out with you and chatting about my boyfriend.

You have a boyfriend?

Yes, I will tell you all about it.

Again. You were actually completely in the know.

Come on. Come, please. Please!

Fine, then. Okay, I'll come.

-I'll come. -Yeah?

Yeah.

-Should I pick an outfit? -No, I'll be right out.

-Maybe something of mine? -I'll be right out.

See you soon!

PLEASE WAIT MY MEETING

-Mrs. Weber. -Good evening, Professor.

Thank you for making the time on short notice.

-For you, anytime. -We have news.

Finally.

I spoke with the DA.

Unfortunately, he confirmed what we already suspected.

He wants 15 years in prison.

Plus, he wants you banned from the medical association for life.

What a joke.

I don't understand.

Embryonic research with the aim of optimizing humans

isn't exactly uncontroversial given Germany's history.

I suggest that as our next step we discuss how best to mitigate--

Tanja?

How are you?

Great. Thanks.

Something must've gone wrong. The DA knows nothing about our deal.

He wants 15 years.

Sorry. It was the best I could do. They wanted life.

Fifteen years is a life sentence!

You promised to protect me.

No one would believe you if you changed your story again.

You didn't even try.

You just sacrificed me.

You lied to me.

Nonsense, I'll protect your work. It'll be waiting for you when you get out.

I can arrange for it to continue.

I know the most talented scientists in the w--

SCIENTIFIC LEGACY INTERRUPTED

Okay, gang. Be honest. Should I not put this tie on?

In case I meet a blue blood?

-Ole, calm down. -I am calm.

This shirt is enough.

You hang out with me, and I'm one too.

Yeah, but you don't seem like one.

-Thank you. -What?

A tie'd be nice since we're gonna eat.

I'm not complaining we don't go enough,

but it's nice to dress up for special occasions.

Putting in some effort shows it's important,

not just "meh," but it pops.

Okay.

Okay. Then I'll put it on.

UNKNOWN

-Anyone know how? -Google will.

I do too, but I don't feel like tying it.

Hello?

Can you talk now?

Yes.

-Coming? -Yeah.

You're right. We were kidnapped.

Okay, I'm listening.

I don't know what they did to you, but I can help you find out.

What changed your mind?

Because it's right.

Bullshit. What do you want?

The men who kidnapped us work for a very rich man.

He's a highly respected philanthropist.

He's done a lot of good for society and the world.

He also sponsors special researchers like me.

He funds visionaries for projects that are less than legal.

Like Homo Deus.

He knew you were going to expose Homo Deus

and couldn't let it be traced back to him.

He intercepted and manipulated the evidence to incriminate me alone.

What's his name?

Dr. Baron von Fürstenberg.

My dears, I present my parents, Baroness and Dr. Baron von Fürstenberg.

I'm Bernadette. Nice to meet you.

-Nice to meet you. -Nice to meet you too.
