Ms. Flemming?

I can't read anymore! Everything...the letters. It doesn't make any sense!

Is it because of the stroke?

You can see the pictures clearly? But you can't decipher the text.

I see the woman all right, but the text... It might as well be Croatian.

Can you tell me which letter this is?

No.

Please write your name.

I can't.

We'll run a PET scan, and then we'll know more.

Hey, Danny.

Hi.

Hey.

Tired already?

Still tired.

How come? Getting too old to party?

No, but coffee doesn't work anymore. Yeah.

See you.

Jasmin!

- Hey. - Hey.

How is she?

I'll tell you outside, ok? May I?

I got you some shampoo and conditioner.

That's good of you. This anti-bacterial stuff they have here is really awful.

What was the result of the PET?

Alexia and agraphia.

The stroke has impaired my speech area.

And what's gonna happen now?

Nothing.

There must be something the doctors can do to help you.

They're sending me to a rehabilitation clinic.

But they can't promise me anything.

Hey. Don't worry. I'm sure there are specific exercises that can help you.

I'm the editor of a magazine. I revise articles every day. I...I write comments, e-mails.

It's my job! And now I can't even read what it says on this stupid lotion!

- Hey. - Hey.

One black coffee to go, please.

Coming up.

Well, buddy, make me an offer then.

There you go. That's a deal.

I only have �4,00 on me.

Never mind.

No, I'm gonna go to the ATM.

Nele. It's on the house.

Ok. I'm gonna wait over there.

The boss is gonna be mad.

I thought only hot babes from 9 on upwards get anything for free.

I think Nele's pretty cute, but by your standards? Come on.

Well, what's wrong with just being nice?

Being nice?

Tuner, could you check the schedule?

Yup.

So, here you go.

Here's your �4,00.

- But I... - You'll get the rest later.

Did I say anything wrong?

Your macho behavior is just really annoying.

First you try it on me, and then Jasmin.

What's Jasmin got to do with this?

Maybe you think you're the hottest guy ever.

But the way you're taking advantage of her heartache to get her into bed, is totally pathetic.

Jasmin's mother is in the hospital. I was there all night, as a friend.

This author had the exact same thing. Stroke and alexia.

Wait. He reads by running his fingertips over the letters.

And I'll reschedule for one edition per year, huh? Yes?

Hello, Kathrin. Jasmin.

Hey.

Johanna gave me this for you.

What did you tell her?

Only that you worked a lot and need to rest now.

Good.

I talked to Alexander and Ms. Seefeld. They arrived safely in Mumbai, and they have an appointment with Bakshi for tomorrow.

Now I just need you to sign this...for the transfer of the mandate.

I can't sign this.

He's an excellent attorney. I mean...

I can't write anymore. And I can't read either. As an effect of the stroke.

What? That's terrible.

Yes, Jo. Thank you. I know!

What now?

We're gonna keep it quiet.

If it transpires that the editor of Metropolitan trends is disabled, the advertisers will back out.

So please. Absolute discretion.

- Hey. - Hey.

What do you want?

Apologize.

Yes, what I said earlier was completely uncalled-for.

No idea why. Overworked? Spontaneous failure?

You can do as you please, with whomever you want.

I was just angry because of your macho behaviour earlier.

You know, on the house for hot babes from 9 on upwards only.

Oh that... It was nothing but stupid drivel. It had nothing to do with you.

Ok. It's ok.

So how is Jasmin's mother?

Not very well. But it's still no reason to snap at you. I'm sorry.

Would you like another one?

I'd love to. Black.

You always have to scrub the sieve holder thoroughly, or the coffee turns rancid.

Ugh, yummy... Nele will gladly come back now...

Well, I hope so!

- I'm off. Good night. - Have a great evening.

- Bye. - Ciao.
