Original subtitles

This one's OK.

- No. - Yes.

Yes, yes, yes, yes…

Don't breathe, please.

No, no, sh…

No, I can get that one.

Sorry.

Did you get the pills?

Fuck!

Mona, please, I specifically asked you.

In your hand-luggage, like always.

You're mean.

There!

- Shall I put you to bed? - No, not yet.

Mom.

Mom, you have to breathe. Breathe in.

Mom, breathe! In… out. In… out.

In… out.

In… out.

In… out.

You screamed pretty intensely.

How did I get here?

I put you to bed. Don't you remember?

That's right.

- Do you want me to lie next to you? - No.

I'll leave the door open, OK?

No, close it, please.

Good night, sleep tight.

I'm sorry.

Good morning.

Good morning.

What have you got there?

That's the place.

What place?

The place in my dreams.

Uh-huh.

How does the place in my dreams

appear into an advertisement in the in-flight magazine?

Can you explain that to me?

Your breathing is interrupted when you sleep.

Extreme blackouts.

Make an appointment with an ENT physician, as we agreed.

That's four dreams now — always the same, and all in the same location —

three of which began slowly and gradually escalated,

until, one by one, the men in the dreams killed themselves.

But the fourth man in the fourth dream is stronger.

He's strong but becomes weaker.

And if this place really exists,

then he exists, too.

You need professional psychological help.

- You know that, right? - I know.

I'll make an appointment with your ENT physician.

I'm on rotation, staying overnight in Istanbul. I'll be back tomorrow night.

Hello, my name is Engelhardt.

I'd like to make an appointment with you.

Yes, but it's not for me, it's for my mother.

Marlene.

Hello.

What can I do for you?

I know these men, but I don't know who they are.

They made Stainbach into what it is today.

They all killed themselves.

That's no secret.

And the woman there, is that you?

And was that your husband?

He was my father.

Yes?

Yes. Where did you get my number?

No, she's in Istanbul.

What?

Mom?

Hey.

I've brought you some fresh things.

T-shirts, underwear, sweater. I'll put them all here in the closet.

And…

your sleeping socks.

You always get such cold feet.

There.

Left…

… and right.

Your mother is in a stupor.

Usually this condition is caused by some kind of trauma. It's like…

… like shock-induced paralysis.

I have your mother's file here.

Her medication is rather special.

Uppers, downers, sleeping pills.

Yes, her biorhythm is fucked up. She works as a flight attendant.

Does your mother have a psychological illness?

Depression, schizophrenia?

Or does she take any other medication?

No. She takes Lorazepam from time to time, and she has frequent nightmares.

Well, who doesn't?

Are there any other cases like that in your family?

No idea.

My mother was abandoned in front of an orphanage when she was a baby.

So, you're her only known relative?

Yes.

Some of the potential triggers may be hereditary.

How can I help?

It would be really helpful to know what triggered the stupor.

Where's your cellphone?

I'll go and look for a room nearby.

Yeah.

Call me when you… can.

Don't worry.

FERTILE GROUND FOR WEALTH AND PROGRESS

Hello.

Hello.

I spoke to a Mr. Fährmann on the phone.

That's my husband.

He's inside.

Just go in.

- Ms. Engelhardt? - Mr. Fährmann?

- Did you get here OK? - Yes.

Franzi, could you please make up room 186?

And turn up the heat.

This is the daughter of the woman who suffered an emergency.

How's your mother doing now?

Her condition is stable.

But you won't give us any trouble, right?

Lorchen, please.

She doesn't mean it.

We had a stressful day, but who am I to talk?

Have a drink.

Take your time to get settled. If you need anything, just ask me.

I know everyone in this village. And everyone knows me.

Cheers.

May I have a look around the room that my mother stayed in?

It looks bad.

- Is it occupied? - It's completely trashed.

I'll show you.

You don't have any luggage.

That's right.

- With breakfast? - No, thanks.

You're missing out!

My wife's a wizard in the kitchen.

Even vegetarian.

- Are you a vegetarian? - Yes, but I'm not hungry in the morning.

I'll give you a heads-up, the air here will stimulate your appetite.

Thanks, Franzi. You can call it a day now.

That's your room.

Your mother's room was right over there.

I'm sorry.

- Did you hear anything? - I was out hunting.

My wife took care of everything.

You can't possibly leave me alone down there.

Could you be so kind as to tell us what you witnessed?

Well, what does it look like?

Your face has gone all pale.

It's fine, I just have to eat something.

I did warn you.

The kitchen's closed.

The village store might still be open.

When you leave the hotel, please lock up behind you.

Hello.

You're not from here.

No, my mother's in a hospital nearby.

Oh!

Hi! Say, have you got any petroleum benzine?

Yes, at the back.

- Bottom right. - Where?

At the bottom? Where at the bottom?

Next to the dish soap.

Ah, yes!

I guess I'll try that again at home.

Hi, I'm Bille, and you?

- Mona. - Hi, Mona. That's Christoph.

We'll see each other tomorrow.

Bye, you two.

- Are you staying at the hotel? - Yes.

What do I owe you, then?

It's on the house.

Thanks.

- What's up? - Nothing.

Did you sleep well?

Yes.

Good morning.

- You look as if you could do with a coffee. - Yes.

Franzi is making some in the kitchen.

Coffee?

Sorry. Would you like a coffee?

Want one?

No, thanks.

You look like shit.

I had a shitty night's sleep.

Do you ever wake up and your dream is still there?

- You? - Yes.

It happened recently.

There was a giant boar in my room, an enormously fat thing.

I was hunting, but I didn't have a gun.

So I hid under the duvet.

And this thing, this fat thing…

… ran over me.

It was crazy.

Then I woke up. I left the room and put some cold water on my face.

I went back into the room, and I saw this…

- Boar? - Yes.

He was still there.

And how did you get out of the dream?

Well, if you're lucky, you notice that you're dreaming.

What if you notice but still can't wake up?

Then you need some kind of kick.

Something extreme… like dying.

Dying.

Something shocking.

And what if I don't know whether I'm dreaming or whether I'm awake?

Well, then your chances are fifty-fifty.

Are you making all this up because you put this in my room?

That's not a boar.

That's a sow. Clearly.

The boss wanted to get rid of it.

I fished it out of the garbage.

I thought your mother might want to have it back.

You'd better watch that thing.

It's got a powerful aura.

Aura…

Well, then, see you later.

Later.

- Were you smoking weed? - No.

Are you not feeling well?

Very good.

Ah, you found it. That's great.

Thanks, Franzi.

How come she suddenly didn't like the photos anymore?

She found the sight of them depressing.

And that came to her all of a sudden yesterday?

You know how your sister can be.

Did you meet our guest up there?

Something's not quite right with her, don't you think?

She doesn't have it easy.

GROUNDBREAKING CEREMONY FOR AMBITIOUS HOTEL EXTENSION

In… out, out, out…

One thing after another.

OK, OK.

Excuse me.

- Sorry, I didn't want to startle you. - Ms. Engelhardt.

- Do you know someone called Trude? - Trude?

It rings a bell, but I can't put my finger on it.

Oh, Lorchen!

The tree isn't in line with the others.

- It must've shifted. - It doesn't matter, it's just that one.

You can replant it in no time.

You left the house in a hurry.

Is everything OK?

Did Wolfram scare you?

- No, who is he? - My brother-in-law.

Did you get any further with your investigations?

I didn't notice yesterday how big your hotel is.

It's our pride and joy…

but also hard work.

This is the off-season.

You should come here in high season, it's a madhouse.

You wouldn't believe that, would you?

No.

Are these all guest rooms?

Would you like to have a look around?

Is that OK?

I'm happy to be your guide, anytime.

Now?

Why not?

You may have to use your imagination at the moment.

But if you're in total harmony with the project, like me,

you'll only see the possibilities and the endless potential.

We're going to realize some health concepts,

called "wellness" nowadays.

Yoga classes. That would be something for you.

This here is going to be our conference room.

I also want workrooms…

What's that newfangled German expression for people who work together?

- Co-working? - Exactly, co-working.

Together! That's my motto.

We have enough space for big ideas.

Believe me, I'm not a dreamer, I'm a realist.

This is still a seasonal business,

but two or three years from now, five tops,

we'll be fully booked the whole year round.

Our investment model is visionary.

The keyword is "homeland return".

I coined that phrase.

You don't believe me, do you?

Yes, I do.

It's just that I read something, and I was wondering whether it had happened here.

Well, out with it.

Did a man kill himself here?

Where did you get that from?

- Internet. - Fake news.

But seriously… it's true.

A terrible thing, really.

But it wasn't only one person who committed suicide, right?

To my knowledge, there were three in this house.

Uwe, Max and Heino.

They were my mentors.

And how do you cope with that?

Come with me. I'll tell you a secret.

This is where Max shot himself in the mouth with his hunting rifle.

What you're are afraid of here is only in your head.

This is nothing more than a laundry room.

And it's easy for you to separate one from the other, is it?

How can you make any progress, if you keep dwelling on the past?

- What about the third man? - Heino, my father-in-law.

He hanged himself in the attic.

But you've already seen the attic.

Why did they kill themselves?

The well-being of a whole community depended on them.

That's what broke them.

What about you?

I know the loneliness that you feel when you get ahead.

It's a sacrifice that only the strongest men are ready to make.

I keep things in perspective.

It helps me to stay healthy.

I'm sorry if I'm curious, I didn't want to offend you.

No, no, you're young, you have to be curious.

And you know what? You've made me a bit curious as well.

For the life of me, I can't tell what it is you're after.

Who is Trude?

Here's a proposition for you.

Come to our place for lunch tomorrow.

By then, I will have found out what's up with your Trude.

I'll make a few calls and ask around.

I promised to help you, and of course I'll keep my word.

And you really mustn't miss my wife's apple strudel.

Hey.

Do you know the people from the hotel?

- More or less. - What were the suicides all about?

Business wasn't exactly booming, and big men like to go out with a bang.

We all know that.

Have you eaten yet?

Is that salami again?

Here you go.

- Are going to see your mom? - Yes.

Do you have any plans after that?

I'll come back tomorrow, OK?

I'm staying at "Sunny Hill" hotel.

It's OK.

It's OK, Mom.

It's OK now.

It's OK…

Do you dare to go in or is it too scary?

Don't be afraid, it's Bille's store.

How can you stand it here?

It's just a question of mental hygiene.

How's it going with your mom? Is she alright?

She's never been alright.

Let me give you a hug.

Come here. May I?

I think I'm going crazy.

Just like her.

That's a normal reaction to all that crap that's going on.

It's just a demo, but I think the song will change the world.

This is for people who know what real feelings are.

OK.

Lorchen, I went for a walk today.

All of a sudden I wasn't in Stainbach anymore. I was in the woods.

I saw the past there.

There were always big plans for Stainbach.

And we made sacrifices.

But every sacrifice is justified if it serves the right thing.

And the ruins in the woods brought that home to me.

Our national defeat was just a call to become stronger.

What national defeat did you experience?

The Economic Miracle?

You just have to be clever, Lorchen. Especially now.

I don't know how long I was walking out there, lost in thought.

The forest floor smelled of moss, of mushrooms, of fertility.

The fertility of a gracious mother.

And that's why you want to turn it into a parking lot.

And as I left the woods, she opened her lap to me.

And what did I see?

A sunny hill.

Our hotel.

Sleep now.

- Hey. - Hi.

Did you sleep well?

And you?

Tell me, yesterday how did we…

Fuck!

One moment!

I found out for you.

Did you tell Christoph?

He knows when we have lunch.

You've met our son?

Yes, briefly.

How long do you intend to stay?

You have to eat, or it will get cold.

Are these figures for sale here in Stainbach?

Those there? No.

My husband makes them himself.

Just for the family.

Don't you like it?

I do. It's just a bit much on an empty stomach.

- You were going to show me something? - Yes, right.

Just a moment.

When you mentioned the name "Trude" yesterday, it immediately rang a bell.

But I couldn't put my finger on it.

Last night, it came to me again.

… closer to the microphone.

Make more of an effort.

Oh, my mother dear…

- It is a lullaby. - Come to my room, be near…

Is that Christoph?

Not bad, yes?

Unfortunately, he's lost interest in singing.

You invest so much hope in your children,

but you can't expect any thanks.

I value family cohesion greatly,

but not everyone is as lucky as your mother to have such a self-sacrificing child.

So, come here fast

Trude's stare is evil to the core

The incubus is standing at my door

I don't want to be with her

- I don't want to be with her - Otto, go get the apple strudel.

Sleep, my child, sleep…

- If you'd be so kind. - Your mother's here to keep

The incubus from hurting you

Her choking grip will not come true

Sleep safe and sound

Incubus, turn around

Sleep, my child, sleep

Your mother's here to keep

The incubus from hurting you

- Her choking grip will not come true - You…

Sleep safe and sound

- … have no idea! - Incubus, turn around

Mother, you are gone

It's cold, I'm all alone

The incubus took me away

The nightmare now is here to stay

My heart stands still, it's cold as ice

- My heart stands still, it's cold as ice - Put it away.

- Sleep, my child, sleep - I told you to put it away!

Your mother's here to keep…

Hello, Otto.

You look tired and exhausted.

- Don't make it even worse. - Get out of the way.

Otto, no.

Pull yourself together!

The music system is there.

I'll be right with you.

Can I help you?

No, it's OK, she weighs nothing.

But you can bring me some cable ties.

Christoph.

Where's Mona?

- She's gone. - What do you mean, "gone"?

I brought her here this morning.

Well, she's gone.

Why?

Maybe her mother is better again.

That's good news, isn't it?

All of a sudden?

She was just a guest.

What do you want to hear from me?

You know how it is with our guests.

They come and they go.

Have you eaten anything?

There are leftovers. I can warm them up for you.

Put the tables in order.

That one to the right.

Yes.

That's fine. Now put the tablecloths on them.

Yes, very good.

A little more joy, OK?

- Have you seen Mona? - Ah, the do-gooder has risen.

- Have you seen her? - She checked out at noon.

Her mother's better again.

Shouldn't you have been behind your cash register for two hours already?

You just carry on and prepare your Nuremberg Rally.

Down there in the valley

The running water is murky

And I cannot tell you

How much I love you

And I cannot tell you

How much I love you

You speak only of love

Speak only of loyalty

And a bit of falsehood

Goes with it, too

And if I tell you ten times

That I love you

And you don't understand

I shall have to get on my way

And you don't understand

I shall have to get on my way

For the time that you loved me

I give you thanks

And wish that elsewhere

You might fare better

A big round of applause for our Golden Throats.

Here's to you!

GROUNDBREAKING CEREMONY FOR AMBITIOUS HOTEL EXTENSION

Your daughter's come to visit you.

You've done well.

This is Mona's voicemail.

Otto.

Shouldn't you be somewhere else on your wedding night?

You don't belong here, Trude.

We have a child together.

I will always belong to you.

They won't leave you in peace.

Then tell them that they should stop.

They don't listen to me.

Then why do you listen to them?

Go away. Please.

No.

You're better than them.

Or maybe not. What do you think?

What are you doing there?

Mixing drugs in the schnapps for the Nazis.

OK…

But keep your hands off my white wine.

Don't let me stop you.

Otto!

Thanks.

I'm delighted to welcome you all to the first big slaughter-festival at "Sunny Hill".

Firstly, I'd like to thank the sow who let us slaughter her.

Secondly, I'd like to thank you, the village.

You all know how fond I am of the valley

and the forest, the beauty, the wealth,

that we will once more extract from our land.

And of course…

the community.

You know, beauty and all that…

… it's a gift.

But for the community, we have to fight.

Yes! Fight!

Fight!

To Stainbach!

When I look around,

I see the finest men from the valley.

Yes!

My comrades-in-arms.

Here and today,

we see the start of a new era on solid ground for our movement.

And at the center of this movement is this house.

My mother was a Polish forced laborer…

… in the explosives factory here in the forest.

My father was German.

Do you understand?

If it were up to the men out there, I shouldn't even exist.

Last night, I had an epiphany.

A brainwave.

I saw us.

In the first year and the second year…

… everything was fine.

But I also saw risks.

People want to convince us that we should be ashamed

of our origins, of our traditions, of our history.

- Ashamed? - No!

Our pride is our armor against the cult of guilt.

And I will not be ashamed in my armor.

Naked envy drives these parasites to our borders,

and it's up to us to fight this state of affairs.

Here, in the middle of the German heartland.

Believe me, I know what it means

to give up one's personal wealth for the sake of the common good.

But how can you possibly think that you know what it means?

You think you're stud bulls,

but in truth, you're just fatstock!

- Yes! - Stupid, fat livestock!

Over-fed and dumb!

And it's just because the butcher is one of you that you keep your traps shut!

That's why I announce my candidacy for Mayor!

You go further than your mother ever dared to go.

She had the key the whole time, without even knowing it.

Otto is the last.

And we're his destiny.

I don't care whether it's you or your mother who takes me to him.

Is he going to leave her alone if I help you?

If it ends with him,

it ends for me as well.

You're strong and dangerous.

I don't feel well.

Tie me up.

Do it yourself.

There he is now, King Otto…

… with his crown of blood, ash and shit.

How can you talk to me like that?

Tie me up!

Think hard about what you're doing.

Where's the girl?

In the laundry room.

Thanks, I'm OK.

You're not the first of your kin whose ass I've saved.

I know.

I thought that if I could just get your mother far enough away,

then I would never have to deal with her again.

What are you going to do now?

I'm leaving.

And him?

From today, he'll have to take care of himself.

Where do you want to go?

I don't know.

Do you want a lift?

I can take you to your mother at the hospital.

In hospital I can't help her.

Mom?

Will you lock up?

Yes.

I can do that.

I have the key.

I just need to sleep.

In.

Out.

In.

Out.

In.

Out.

In.

We've almost done it.

I'm sorry.

Please, no…

Trude…

I'm… I'm sorry.

Please, no.

Trude.

I can't do it.

Stop it.

Of course you can do it.

Don't think about him, think about your mother.

Maybe Franzi is right.

Fifty-fifty.

Everything OK?

Mom?

I found my shoe.

Am I awake?

- Am I a woman? - Yeah, yeah.

- Am I also dead? - Yeah.

No idea. Even better than the others.

ALEX'S ROOMMATE CASTING

They think he's Alex.

You're Alex, aren't you?

- Am I a woman? - Yes, that too.

Am I an actress?

No. No.

You're supposed to play along if you want to move in here.

Do I have to?

Did I die young?

Another question, another question.

I think you've got the room.

I'm Mona.

Hi, Mona.
