Original subtitles

That's me, Fritz.

And this here is Rudi, my best friend.

My name is Ayla.

For a girl, she is really nice.

That's my dad, Daniel.

He is totally cool.

And this is my mom, Semra.

The two have fallen in love.

Melinda doesn't like Rudi.

She is such a bimbo.

Hey, she is my sister.

We all live in the house of Grandma Betty and Grandpa Oskar.

Grandma is really acting like the boss, but

she makes the most delicious potato pancakes.

And Grandpa, he is always on our side and never complains.

Here in Engelsbach there is always something happening.

And we are always fully involved.

Oh yes, and Rudi?

Rudi is the fastest pig in the world.

And this?

Will that hurt?

M-m.

Grandma can't play with you now, Rudi.

She has stomach pain.

You know that too.

Say mom, now you're going to get your peppermint tea, right?

Thank you.

These are the same symptoms that are currently finally present in my patient.

Fever, nausea, and stomach cramps.

Werner and Heinrich have that too.

That's why I'm missing out on such a skat evening.

I can also lay down at least three people.

My consultation hours have been overcrowded for days, so I have to go again now.

And what can we do about that?

Drink plenty.

And something salty would be good.

Vegetable broth, for example.

Why is it that suddenly so many people from Engelsbach are sick?

Yes, if I knew that, then I could treat my patient better.

Why though?

Well, if you identify the pathogen of a disease

knows, then one knows which antidote helps.

Can't you find that out?

Well, I've already had the drinking water checked, but it's okay.

What else could it be due to?

Well, there are many possibilities to consider.

Virus, coli bacteria.

It is very likely, however, that the pathogen

entered the body through the food.

So I have to go now.

If anything comes up, then call me.

I'll come as quickly as I can.

It's not that bad again.

Today you'll only do what I want.

Exceptionally.

Hey!

Is Betty feeling better again?

No, unfortunately not.

Where are you going?

To Engelsbach.

I'm starting with my farewell tour.

Farewell tour?

You still have six days.

Yes, exactly.

Only six days left.

And so many boys, with whom I have a last date.

I will never miss Jeremy.

Of all days, this stupid TV crew is coming today.

I have to give an interview, like the Mars - Mission.

Really?

Are you going on TV?

Yes, sure.

Everyone wants to be on TV.

I don't.

Congratulations.

Yes, I need to prepare a bit and clean up upstairs.

Hopefully, you don't disturb them, Mom.

Really?

Are they coming here to interview Daniel?

Yes.

The institute where he works is involved in a Mars expedition.

And it should start in just a few years.

What is that?

A Mars expedition?

You send a rocket to Mars.

Loaded with robots and such.

To find out what it looks like up there.

But Daniel isn't flying with them.

Oh, nonsense.

Only... he knows a lot about it.

Is something wrong?

I keep thinking about what Semra said about Grandma's illness.

What then?

If she knew why so many people in Engelsbach are sick

are, it could help you better to recover.

Well, but she doesn't know that.

But maybe we can find it out.

We?

How so?

Perhaps the people who the same.

Illness have like grandma, something in common with each other.

You think they ate something bad?

For example.

Or they were all at the same place at the same time.

Will Grandma do the Skor, maybe?

Well... probably not.

Because a couple of Grandpa's bathing friends are also sick.

And they don't sing in grandma's choir.

The swimming pool?

Phew, Grandma hasn't been there for weeks now.

It would be best if we first found out who is sick.

And then we might be able to identify a commonality.

I know who you can ask.

My mother!

Come!

And you are going to Grandpa, yes?

That is no coincidence that so many people are sick.

There must be something behind it.

Betty Fröhlich got it too.

I heard.

That's not a request... You go to the practice.

I stay here, yes?

A pig under a roof.

That can't be the reason.

The Scherfs are both sick.

And Eva and Wolfgang Lucht are laid low.

Can I paint them for myself?

Frau Forstschwelter too.

Thank you.

And they all don't have a pig.

Gudrun Lambrecht is sick.

And Eva Scholl.

And Pastor Kilian got it, too.

And he doesn't have a pig either.

My mother didn't want to tell me.

Heartfelt confidentiality.

But I have all the names of the patients who were sitting in the waiting room.

Class.

I also experienced a couple.

You heard what Semra said.

Vegetable soup is good for Betty.

But there are only complicated things here.

Here, minestrone Genoa style.

Or where is the winter vegetable soup?

Where do I get winter vegetables in the middle of summer, huh?

But you don't know.

I have no experience in cooking.

Oskar?

What?

What are you doing there?

Nothing.

That's supposed to be a surprise.

And who are you talking to?

With Rudi.

When she notices that I want to cook something in the kitchen,

then she gets scared that I want to mess up the house.

Help me out.

What are you doing there?

Everywhere a pin is stuck in, lives a sick person.

She comes from Engelsbach and a couple from Hoffnungsberg.

How do you know that?

I checked in a phone voucher.

Cool.

And what is that?

I asked Grandma Betty.

Those are all the things she ate before she got sick.

So it must include the fact that it made her sick.

Quite a lot.

Potatoes, bananas, and radishes, it cannot be.

We ate those too.

The same applies to the butter and the cheese.

And the milk, the bread, the chocolate.

Do you know, the Mars mission is for the.

Science of decisive importance because...

No, no, no, no.

Humanity will benefit from the Mars mission because...

Boy, you don't happen to know how to make a vegetable soup, do you?

Ask your mom.

That is supposed to be a surprise.

I know, of course, how to prepare a vegetable soup.

I don't have any time at all.

Look at how that looks.

In five minutes, a huge TV crew will arrive here.

You heard what Semra said.

A vegetable soup would be good for your mother.

Just look on the internet.

Here.

You click on.

By prescription.

Vegetable soup.

Just look here.

Do you have everything you need?

Well.

If you think so...

We can also leave out the meatballs.

Grandpa has heard of them.

And he's doing well.

The same applies to the cold cuts.

Stay the pickles and the cookies.

And one of them was eaten by a grandma.

And the still water here is also drunk by a grandma.

No, Rudi.

You're allowed to have nothing sometimes.

I'm sorry.

Best if we ask the sick people if they also

which of these things have eaten or drunk.

That could take forever.

Bell pepper...

Fennchen...

Hello.

Can't someone answer the door?

Peel potatoes.

Cleaning little paws.

Dad, don't you hear the ringing at all?

No.

Ring?

I am so engrossed in copying.

How am I supposed to copy it?

You print that out.

Here.

Oskar.

Yes, I'm coming.

Who's coming out there?

You could have told me that right away.

Oh, the flap.

Roof pleasing.

So.

Cash register water with.

Cash water without.

Store-bought lemonade.

To the kitchen?

Yes.

Rudi.

Hey.

What are you doing there?

The cookies don't belong to you at all.

Come on.

Out.

Kilian, Landrecht, Scholl, Schröter, Scherf, Fröhlich.

That can't be true.

Rudi.

These are exactly the same names as on our patient list.

And he provides the Bergische Quelle.

Beautifully happy.

Bye.

Hey, what are you doing in my car?

And then also with the pig.

Boy, I'm driving groceries.

That just won't do.

Seriously.

Great.

You ate up my cookies too.

I think your water is to blame for it,

that so many people in Engelsbach are sick.

My water?

Nonsense.

You may no longer deliver still water here.

You have to report that.

No, no, no, boy.

There is nothing wrong with my water.

Here.

Can you read?

That is strictly controlled, yes?

And is in perfect health.

So be more careful about what you say.

What's going on here?

Oh, nothing at all.

I believe his water is to blame for so many people being sick.

Your son is imagining something.

All people who are sick have drunk from this water here.

So what?

Even if it were so.

They probably also drank tea or coffee.

Or bread from the bakery in the village eaten.

You are right, Fritz.

What's that supposed to mean?

I believe her son would rather distract from it,

that he and his pig stole my cookies.

We need to have the water checked, Dad.

The water is constantly monitored.

Hm?

That is okay.

Fritz's grandmother is sick and that's why he wants to be here.

Help and determine the cause of the illness.

But not at my expense, right?

Yes, that's somewhat represented with the detective game.

I will of course replace the cookies for him.

Oh, just let him keep it for once.

My water is really fine, little one.

But he shouldn't talk such nonsense again.

Thank you, right?

Why don't you believe me?

Man, Fritz, there can be a thousand reasons

give reasons why people got sick here.

It doesn't necessarily have to be due to the Bergische source.

And if I am right?

Then you need evidence.

Do you have any?

You read them with the names on them.

That's not enough.

I need to focus on my TV interview now.

I know, you only meant well.

Salt and pepper.

Yes.

I saw the bay leaves.

There they are.

Bay leaves.

I already have an apron.

Is everything.

All I'm missing is the vegetables.

Man, Fritz, maybe it's just a coincidence.

Oh, nonsense.

That is because of the water.

Absolutely.

It could also be due to the pickles or the cookies.

Don't you believe me now either?

As you wish.

Oh.

And?

Do you believe me now?

And?

Do you feel anything yet?

No.

Okay, I believe you.

I ask my mother if she can examine the water.

And I take the new box of water out of the traffic.

Little swamp carrot three.

And four little carrots.

Ladies and gentlemen, carrots.

Tomatoes.

Two hundred fifty grams.

Half a gram.

Mhm.

Um...

That is certain for now.

And?

What did your mother say about it?

She could not investigate that.

This must first be sent to the lab and that takes days.

Oh, crap, ey.

Additionally, she was completely stressed out because the waiting room was full.

She hasn't even really listened to him yet.

Looks like we'll have to go through with it without the adults.

What do you mean by going through with it?

Well, we have to prove that the Bergische spring water is really contaminated.

You surely don't want to drink any of that now.

No.

What then?

Do you know what's funny?

What then?

That Gerner immediately contradicted me.

He only sells the water.

And if it really is contaminated, he can't be blamed for it.

True.

Actually, it is the fault of the Bergisches Quellwasser company.

But he reacted as if I had accused him personally.

And when my father arrived, he acted as if nothing had happened.

I'm telling you, something's fishy.

What should we do now?

We observe benefactors and maybe we'll notice something that will help us.

Are you okay?

These are just the cucumbers and the cookies.

You are from television, right?

We recognized that.

Claudia Sachs.

Daniel Fröhlich.

I am very pleased.

We talked on the phone.

This is my cameraman Felix Ballhaus and his assistant Mario.

Yes, then you'll come in too.

I thought we could maybe do the interview outside.

In the open air, so to speak.

After all, it's about the stars.

Outside?

I thought maybe over there.

The light is also much better there.

Hm.

Okay.

Now I've tidied up especially for when the television is here and then...

I think that the light there... there is a bit better.

Hm?

I'm taking the chairs with me anyway, right?

Yes.

Yes, indeed.

Do you actually believe in extraterrestrials, Mr. Fröhlich?

Aliens?

Well, I don't know.

It could well be that there is life somewhere in the universe, but...

About that?

Not little green men now, if that's what you mean.

But?

Maybe the little green men aren't green at all, but yellow.

Or red and white striped.

Also, Shakespeare once said, there are more things between heaven and earth.

As your school wisdom can imagine.

You are the expert.

What do you think, what color could the aliens be?

I can't say anything about that at the moment, but... stay tuned.

Wonderful.

A scientist with humor.

Also, we can start right away as far as I'm concerned.

We are already in the middle of it.

Yes, yes, yes, yes.

We are guests at Daniel Fröhlich, one of the.

Astronomer who is involved with the Mars mission.

Daniel!

And off.

Oh, sorry, that's my father.

Do you know where a measuring cup is?

Papa, uh... I need to measure exactly three liters of water for the soup.

No, I don't know.

Do you have celery?

Dad, we want to... uh... Oh, I'm interrupting.

Yes, a little bit.

So, give us a couple of hours, okay?

Yes, how long?

Uh... So then, the whole thing again.

Okay, camera is rolling.

We are visiting Daniel Fröhlich, one of the.

Experts who are involved with the Mars mission.

Geller lives there.

Okay, and what are we doing here now?

We wait and see if we notice anything suspicious.

What for example?

Um, well, that he suddenly gets visitors or something.

Or that he is making phone calls in a very hectic manner.

Exactly.

Or that he pours away all the water.

We should spread out.

Okay, I'm going back there.

Then I'll go that way.

Where is that stupid measuring cup?

Oskar?

Did something happen?

Nothing, my little star, nothing at all.

Everything is fine.

I just want to make a coffee.

I am looking for a pot.

What are you doing there?

I found it!

Thank God.

Ice, Egg, Ah.

Oh.

Four bottles.

Four times 0.75 makes three liters.

Stop that, Rudi, okay?

We are not here for fun.

Yes, Ayla?

The drinks trolley is just pulling up.

What is Geller doing?

I can't see.

Is anyone with him?

There is Rudi.

What?

Oh, crap.

He goes into the shed.

Rudi?

What is he doing right now?

Er...

He goes into the barn.

Oh God, if Rudi finds out.

Rudi?

Rudi?

Rudi?

Rudi?

He did not see him.

But Rudi is still in the shed.

I come and help you, yes?

In thermal layers around Mars you have to imagine it like... um

like the layers of this onion.

To return once more to the actual question.

Whether extraterrestrial life could exist.

Would that be conceivable on Mars?

That would be conceivable because apparently there is also.

Water, but it would be very unlikely.

But if there were life there, do you think the.

Aliens would come to visit us someday?

No.

Well if there is life on Mars, then

are we dealing with the smallest microorganisms.

So not like in the Hollywood movie, where the aliens with

giant spaceships Landing in the middle of New York.

But no.

Your question isn't bad, though.

Because, why should the aliens always land in America?

Here in Engelsbach they would find ideal conditions.

Large meadows for landing, nice people, beautiful landscape.

You are truly a funny interview partner, Mr. Fröhlich.

Yes, thank you.

Rudi?

Rudi?

Certainly! Please provide the German text you'd like translated to English.

I thought you were Keller.

Hey, there you are.

A luck.

What do you have there?

This is a label from water bottles.

Come on, let's get out of here.

Oh crap!

What then?

Now I understand it too.

He spends the labels because he is a fraud.

Why's that?

He puts the labels on bottles in which

probably just normal tap water.

He sells it to people as still mineral water.

But we discovered his tricks.

Okay, but why do people get sick from it?

No idea.

I better call my father.

He is supposed to help us.

He stops.

Alright, jokes aside.

The Mars mission is actually about very straightforward numbers and data,

that we want to evaluate over the years.

Sorry.

And Daniel Fröhlich?

Fritz, I can't.

I am currently in the interview.

Out!

What kind of labels?

Where are you guys?

Okay, I am there right away.

Goodbye.

Sorry, I have to go.

It's an emergency.

It's okay.

We have what we need.

Okay, um...

Wow.

Then we'll do the introduction now and we'll take care of the rest in editing.

You again.

What are you doing here?

We know exactly what we have done with the water.

And that is not Bergisches spring water.

What do you think you're doing, you little brat?

I caught you here stealing.

Let's see what your parents will say about it.

Fritz, one!

We can ask Dad.

Daniel, we are here.

Dad!

What's going on?

You found the two in my stable.

They probably wanted to steal.

You can't be serious.

He lies.

We have convicted him.

He puts labels on water bottles, even though there's no mineral water in them.

That makes all the people sick.

Is that true?

Seriously, I have no understanding for children.

But this is really going too far with the nonsense.

Or can you perhaps prove that?

He burned all the labels because he got scared.

What kind of labels are these?

I can't see any here.

You can count yourselves lucky if I don't call the police.

Dad, you have to believe us.

We saw it with our own eyes.

I believe you, but without evidence, it will... But we do have evidence.

Here.

And you found one of the labels.

Mr. Geller!

Up here?

Yes.

Two weeks ago I at the Bergische Quelle.

Randomly discovered this box with the labels.

And then you had the idea to make a bit of money on the side, or what?

Yes, you can see what it looks like here.

The tap water that you sold

this comes from this disgusting faucet?

Yes.

From here I could have the boxes directly on the cart.

In the pile of manure, do you know how many bacteria are in there?

Give it here.

Well.

My wife will investigate that.

Oh, it's fine.

How many people got sick there.

And my grandma too!

I suggest you report the matter yourself to the.

Police and apologize to the sick people.

Yes, of course I'll do that, sure.

I really didn't want to harm anyone.

When the son said this morning, I was to blame for all the sick people,

I naturally poured away all the water.

But you didn't count on Rudi.

Unfortunately, that I believed you so late, but you were right.

Oh, it's okay.

But only with seeds.

Come on!

Now I just want to see what kind of battle you are actually...

I cooked you a vegetable soup, my little star.

There, the children!

Just in time.

There is enough for everyone.

Beautiful.

I sent it to the lab by courier.

As soon as I know what kind of bacteria are in the water, I can help the people.

You did a great job, you two.

The three of us?

Exactly.

Without Rudi, we would have had no proof.

Ah!

How does she make you feel, Betty?

Well, that Geller does something like that, I would have never thought.

You would have never thought that I would make you a vegetable soup one day.

However, not.

There are only stomach-friendly vegetables in it.

Hmm, that smells really good.

Did you find a measuring cup, Baba?

I helped myself differently.

Four bottles of water, A 0.75 makes exactly three liters.

So, now enjoy your meal.

Enjoy your meal.

Stop!

Four bottles of water?

The still water from Geller?

There were still four bottles left, they are now... In the soup?

That doesn't make any sense.

Have you ever made an effort and...

Oh, don't worry about it, Oskar.

The good intention counts.

Besides, it's such a wonderful vegetable soup.

We should photograph them before we throw them away.

Yes.

Who wants pizza?

We.

And until it comes, you can make me a tea.

And tidy up the kitchen.

Looks like Rudi had cooked.

Hey, did you hear that, Rudi?

Quite cheeky, isn't it?
