Hi! I'm so happy that this account has grown so much in the last few weeks.

That motivates me so much.

The Sunnyside is a great philanthropic organization

that does amazing work all over the world, caring for people in need

and providing them with food, shelter, and positive energy.

They are a force of good in the world.

I still can't believe they took me in.

These people have taken such good care of me

ever since my grandma passed away last month.

They really are like family to me.

And Eira, their kind-hearted leader, has been a great role model.

So, my great community,

I feel honored that I can spread that positive attitude to you guys.

As Eira often says, "fill every waking hour with a good deed.

If you give much, you get much in return."

And, speaking of doing the right thing,

I applied for a scholarship and made it to the final two candidates.

And do you know who the other finalist is?

I think I will just tag her in this video.

May whoever deserves it more win.

Are you okay?

I guess we're both going crazy, huh?

Hey, I just wanted to ask how you're doing.

I mean, If it's actually you, Pauline.

I found this number on a piece of paper.

Yeah, I don't know what I was thinking.

Uh… any progress with that letter thing you're working on?

Is it finished?

Aren't you busy with evil mastermind stuff or your successor thing?

It doesn't require my full attention.

And I'll have to talk to my mother about my successor.

That'll be pretty awkward.

Okay, well, since you asked, the "letter thing" is done.

It's kinda weird, but the teacher'll love it.

I've got problems to handle, so I won't be checking my phone as often.

Good luck getting out of your job.

I'll text you once the world has come to an end.

Maybe.

this morning in the capital,

leaving the city in a state of confusion.

The theft took place in the Central Bank…

KITCHEN WARNING! STAFF ONLY

We can't rush this.

We have to find out what they're doing with the dagger.

Eira? You wanted to see me?

Yes, but not here.

You know that you're not supposed to come in here.

Yes, I understand. This is all still very new to you.

- But you're very aware of our principles. - Um… What do you mean?

Caius showed me your videos.

And? Did you like them?

Don't you think… it would feel more rewarding

if you won the scholarship by fair means, Britta?

Through hard work and determination?

And not through bullying.

I want you to delete the video and apologize to that girl.

Good girl. And now, come here.

You're better than that.

I'm sure this Pauline is struggling enough as it is.

I'm taking the last few waffles, okay? Super busy day.

Mm-hmm…

So? A new masterpiece?

I'll call it Happy wealthy family pays a poor single mother slash artist 2000 euros

and feels super generous about it.

Oil on canvas.

They don't look all that happy though.

They cared more about looking wealthy.

- The dog looks super wealthy. - Thanks.

I have to go. So much to do.

Hey!

Could I maybe get a hug, though?

And if you feel overwhelmed, it always helps to talk to Mom.

Hello. I just wanted to check in on you, you know?

Because of your appointment at the Pregnancy Conflict Counseling Center,

and by the way "Pregnancy Conflict Counseling" is, like,

the most offensive term I've ever heard.

- Um, Pauli… - Is that Pauli? Can I talk to her?

No, no, can you… Mom, this is a voice message!

Sorry, I have to go.

Uh, see you in school in a bit. Bye!

Pauline? We need to talk.

Do you have a minute?

Right, about the personal statement, I emailed it to you last night.

And I wrote it like you wanted me to, uh…

Oh, Pauline! Are you okay? Wait, let me help you.

I'm fine, Britta.

- Listen, if you are… - If I'm what?

Well, you know. People were… um, people were saying that in the comments.

You cannot let that affect your grades in any way, do you understand?

And a pregnancy, be it planned or unplanned…

I'm not pregnant!

So I've been thinking… I want you and Britta to take a language test today.

It will help me come to a decision.

Even if I have to miss my aquatic fitness class today.

But I'm still your favorite candidate, right?

I mean, for your "diverse bunch."

The test will be held at 5 p.m. in room 47B.

I have an important appointment at 5.

Well, I don't think it could be more important than your future.

- Wait a second, come on! - That's enough!

One morning six years ago,

I forgot to turn off the stove before heading to school.

A kitchen towel caught fire. When the firefighters arrived,

my entire apartment had already burnt down.

My parrot, Fred…

was stuck in his cage, completely helpless.

He was burnt alive. Because of me.

I… I think I forgot to turn off the stove before I…

Sorry, I need to go home right now, to check.

Uh… Could we do the test a little… earlier?

What? Ah, sure. Let's do 4 p.m.

I'll let Britta know, okay?

It cannot be more important than your future.

So we're basically rivals now.

Pregnancy conflict counseling center… The test will be held in room 47B.

Hold on. That's a UFO.

Thanks for covering for me.

I really don't know what I would do without you guys.

I feel like I'm losing my mind or something.

And I can't make any more mistakes with Ms. Fischer.

I had like a breakdown earlier.

It's probably all the stress. Are you getting enough sleep?

Like whenever I'm not eating, vomiting, or having cramps, right? Yeah.

Come here. Hmm…

Mmm…

This is the third time your Mom has texted me about the counseling.

- I wouldn't even take my own mother. - I'm sorry.

Do you think it's a, uh, good idea to, um, stay in touch with Lukas?

I'm not. I put an end to it.

- Oh yeah? Since when? - Since this morning.

- Hmm. - Yup,

I was checking to see if he stopped texting me.

Hmm… Okay.

What? What is it?

Nothing, we were wondering… Maybe…

- Come on, spit it out. - You have a crush on him.

Bullshit.

- It isn't a bad thing. - It is a bad thing.

She knows nothing about this guy. Name a person who's rich and nice.

- Dolly Parton? - Except for her.

- Keanu Reeves. - Do I get a say?

- Sorry. - Sorry.

Sometimes I feel like love was only invented

so that running a farm together wouldn't feel quite as pointless.

Okay, in the unlikely event that you and Lukas want to run a farm together,

wouldn't it be good to tell him? Before, you know…

She doesn't owe him anything.

But she could still ask. Maybe he wants to keep it.

- My body, my choice, right? - Sorry.

But thanks for covering for me. I owe you one.

Um… Good luck with the language test. And with the counseling.

Let's hope that German bureaucracy won't force you to raise a child.

Thanks again. You're life-savers.

- Let me know how the test went. - Bye, Werner.

- Bye. - But no pressure, okay?

Why would you say that?

Well, you're a little overbearing sometimes. Just like your mother.

- I never want to see you again. - Oh… babe!

You have 90 minutes.

If you finish before that, you're welcome to hand it in earlier, obviously.

Are you feeling okay? You look a little pale.

Yeah, yeah, I'm okay.

I've been feeling like I forgot to turn off the stove at home.

You know, that actually happened to me once.

Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry.

Mm. Yeah. You're sweet, thanks Britta.

Shouldn't you go and check, maybe? I mean, better safe than sorry.

Yeah, I guess.

- We could do the test some other time. - No, that won't be necessary.

You'll be busy anyway.

Girls, I'll be back in one hour at the latest.

Uh… Uh, but…

If I see you use your phone,

I'll have to tell Ms. Fischer, okay?

Or you could just tell your followers, like last time, right?

Yeah, by the way, I deleted the video.

So?

I thought that could've been a little uncool.

You're not saying you're sorry, are you?

Good talk.

Did you get the building permit?

Um…

I'm here because, uh…

recently I've been giving some thought to my future here.

And I know that now with Samuel gone and me being your son,

I'm supposed to be the successor.

And it's a great honor to me, but I think we've both come to realize

that I might not be the right person for the job.

So I've been thinking… Well…

Because you always say that I should take more initiative…

I do realize, of course, that this could get us in trouble, but…

I think it's worth it.

I thought we could bring your favorite son back.

Perhaps you do have good ideas after all.

And it's the actual dagger, uh… I checked.

I've talked to Tammo about it, he'll handle the ritual.

And… um… I've been looking for a new body for Samuel but…

it should be… CEO material, right?

Good.

Could you clean up that mess for me?

I'll tell Ms. Fischer that you had to leave early.

You can use your phone, I don't care.

No need, I'm almost done.

However, I can't guarantee that nothing will happen to your test

if I need to go to the restroom or something.

If I find out that you messed with my test, Britta…

I got home,

and the Spaghetti was still warm.

When I lifted her head off the plate, I saw her face was covered in it.

Not just her mouth. Her nose and her forehead, too.

Her face was covered in tiny, gross pieces of minced meat.

And I kept thinking, "This dead woman in front of me can't be my grandma."

Your… thing.

I…

Even though you were late, we got through it pretty quickly.

After all, I mean… it is a lot of information being thrown at you.

Now, all you have to do is show me

that you fully understand the consequences of your decision.

Otherwise, I can't issue the proof of counseling.

Yeah. So, I'm here of my own free will.

I've read all I could find about abortions and pregnancies,

and I'm a 100% sure this is the right decision for me.

As a single mom, I could forget about med school.

And the only people I could help would be the customers at my local McDonald's.

Wonderful.

Guess I'll get off work a couple minutes early today.

Okay, that's it.

I guess you won't need any info on maternity leave.

My back, ugh, it's like someone's gnawing on my tailbone with tiny sharp teeth.

And hey, binge eating is completely normal.

When I had my third child… it was a nightmare!

The things I devoured!

Potato stew, chicken fricassee, beef tripe, salted cucumbers,

young herring in cream sauce, everything mixed together. Everything!

Do you sometimes feel like you're, uh, going crazy?

During pregnancy, I mean.

All the time. I mean, the hormones… they can drive you nuts absolutely.

Is it that bad right now?

Some things have been going on around me. Super weird things.

And I don't know if it's just my imagination, or…

if they're actually happening.

That's what I mean!

Um, yeah… It was already cracked, so…

I dropped it yesterday.

Mmm.

When we're overwhelmed, it's easy to start overthinking things.

It happens to me too. Pregnancy is just crazy.

- Okay, thanks. - What for?

Well, most of the time there's an asshole behind every door in my life, you know?

So thanks for not being an asshole.

That doesn't really sound like a compliment, but it is.

Then I should also thank you.

Um… I'm uh… getting over a cold right now. Sorry. Um…

You have no idea how much this certificate will help me.

Eira, do you have a minute?

You look pale. I've got something for you. Just chew on it.

You'll feel better in a couple minutes.

It's about Pauline. There's something wrong with her.

I apologized to her today, like you asked me to, but then…

I think she did something to me. I know I sound crazy, but…

she touched my arm, and suddenly, I started seeing horrible things.

Sometimes we read too much into perfectly normal events.

And you've been going through a lot of stress recently, so it's only natural.

That terrible tragedy with your grandmother…

It's not about that, okay? It's about Pauline.

She has some kind of dark energy and used it to influence me.

You don't believe that's what actually happened, Britta?

Do you?

There's a big community of people

who've experienced similar things on the Internet.

It's like you always say, the truth can't always be explained rationally.

People can believe in whatever they want as long as they don't harm anyone.

I believe that your behavior is harmful not only to Pauline right now

but also to yourself.

Just look how stressed out you are?

Maybe you could go to bed a little earlier tonight, Britta,

and stay off the internet for a while.

- Hi. - Hi.

Um… We just wanted to say congrats.

We're glad that you're getting your problems under control.

And we wanted to tell you we love you.

Oh, thanks. I love you, too.

By the way, sorry again if I offended you earlier.

I just thought that it might be a good idea to tell him the truth.

He doesn't seem like a bad guy.

And then maybe you could think about other options together.

That's why I thought just tell Lukas…

Oh, my God, you're literally doing it again!

What I actually wanted to say is you can do whatever you want, of course.

You already know that.

You are the best. I have to clean up.

- Can I call you back when I get home? - Sure. Of course.

- Bye! - Bye!

Bye-bye.

He's too old!

I said a little older, but not that old!

Just go! Find someone else.

Hey.

- Hey. - I thought you might be hungry.

But I didn't know you had a whole store like that.

What happened to your hand?

I cut myself while cooking.

Hmm… Joppiesaus is a great success story.

It was invented in 2003 and it's everywhere now.

Food is your thing, isn't it?

Hmm? Huh?

Tell me a little bit about yourself.

Tony said you can't be rich and nice.

Tony might be right.

Yeah, so?

Hmm…

I had my own restaurant when I was 18.

The things teens do, right?

Well, I wasn't alone. I had this really good Italian chef.

Angelo. Awesome guy.

And then?

Um…

M- my brother had an accident.

And since then, I've had to work for the family business.

- And no one else could've stepped in? - No. They wouldn't have accepted it.

- Why? Do you work for the mafia? - No. Much worse than that.

Human Resources and Consulting.

Shit. You really are evil.

Yes, I told you. And…

lots of bad stuff happens thanks to us.

How about you?

My life isn't really fun right now either.

It's a little scary, actually.

Come on, Werner!

- This is an exception, okay? - Who's that guy, your boyfriend?

Good night.

Is there a reason you didn't text me?

Or did the world already come to an end and nobody told me?

- Yes, at 5 p.m. today. Did you miss it? - Yes.

I thought we could get to know each other.

- Okay. All of a sudden? - Why not?

I'm not complaining,

but you'll have to tell me a bit about yourself, too.

I don't know anything about you.

Except that you're one of the bad guys, too.

I'm pregnant.

- What does that mean? - I'm pregnant.

- Well, who's the father? - You are.

- No. - You are.

No way. You wouldn't understand, but that's impossible.

- I can't have a child with you. - What?

Look if I'd known you'd be such a dick, I wouldn't have said anything.

- Are you sure? - Yes!

You can't keep it. Is that clear?

No shit, Lukas. I wasn't going to!

That's not what I meant. You don't get it.

It… I'm about to get my old life back.

And this will mess up everything. Fuck!

If my mother finds out… You have no idea how dangerous she is.

Nobody wants your fucking baby, Lukas!

Was that you?

Shit!

LUKAS MESSENGER BLOCK

Is there any reason why you didn't text me?

I don't know anything about you.

No. No way. You wouldn't understand, but that's impossible.

I can't have a child with you.

I'm about to get my old life back. And this will mess up everything.

What's going on here? You've made breakfast?

What a wonderful Saturday morning, huh?

I just had the weirdest dream of my life.

Oh, nice! Was it about sex?

Sorry, but what's happening?

Rocket breakfast. Hm? Like your dad did.

I've been thinking.

Remy told me about a studio the other day.

The rent is actually super reasonable.

- What about our apartment? - I don't know.

Let Schmidt Inc. tear this dump down!

Since my brave daughter might be going to England soon, for her degree,

I figured I should maybe start thinking about my own next chapter.

Makes sense.

Which isn't like you, but okay…

Right? If we sell Jason's old janitor stuff and his sneaker collection,

you might get pocket money for your big London trip?

I don't think a few pairs of used Nikes from the '90s

count as a collection, Mom.

Apparently, you can get a lot of money for these old models, okay?

- Dad had really stinky feet. - 'Kay, I see your point.

Maybe it's not such a good idea.

It is. It's a great idea, Mom.

You can count yourself lucky. Not everyone has such a cool Mom.

I'm delighted to welcome our French colleagues here today.

Together, we should be able to put our plans into action

and finally return to our former greatness once again.

And in order to do that, we need Samuel.

Lukas will explain the next steps to us now.

- Um… Okay. Uh… Lukas? - Huh?

Yeah, sorry. Just quickly…

Does anyone here know… uh… how to tell…

if someone blocked you on WhatsApp?

I believe that the, uh, second tick won't show and the profile picture is gone.

Shit.

Well, speaking of problems, we've got one.

The system isn't designed to simply bring back Samuel.

It won't work. Who knows what could happen?

What? What are you talking about? What would happen?

I don't know. It could rain frogs. The sky could turn dark.

The Antichrist could be born and kill us all. We simply don't know.

But the universe will take notice. The universe notices everything.

Okay. Um… Unfortunately, I have to go.

It's, uh… well, it's been a great meeting so far.

Um… Thanks again for the wine and au revoir.

Where are you going?

I asked you a question!

Well.

I suppose we should just carry on, then.

We have twelve days left, and there is much to do.

Such an asshole!

Please give me Lukas' number. I'd love to give him a piece of my mind.

No, you won't.

- Yes, I will. - No, you won't.

He's one of those people who make our planet

such a shitty place to live for everyone else.

Some straight cis white dude who pretends to be super nice,

but is secretly a patriarchal extremist.

Let's be honest, he probably didn't even tell you the truth.

Believe me, you don't want to have such toxic people in your life.

They always have some kind of fucked up secrets.

And if you start asking questions, they'll gaslight you for so long

you'll forget who you are at some point.

I'm being very mysterious again. I'm talking about mind control, of course.

You can reprogram people in order to make them do whatever you want them to do.

However… You…

I thought I'd bring you a cup of tea, Britta.

And by the time you want to leave, it's already too late

because you're too dependent.

Those who give much…

Will receive much in return.

People like him don't care about you.

All they care about is controlling you.

Hmm…

At the end of the day, you can only rely on yourself.

What? You?

Shit!

I… didn't mean to do that.

Ah!

It's-It's okay. I'm invulnerable.

Uh… I mean, most of the time.

Uh… What?

Let me explain one thing at a time.

What do you mean "invulnerable"?

What are you doing here?

- Were you following me? - No, I… I wasn't following you.

I was following the guy who was following you.

And that's why I'm now… Uh, I mean…

Okay, this is gonna sound a bit weird… It's just that…

How can I explain this? Well, my mother is…

My mother is the devil.

Uh… What?
