Previously on Hand aufs Herz

 

Timo: God, Sophie, get lost.

 

Sophie: You are only with her because I wasn't here.

 

Luzi: Äh, hello?!

 

Timo: Leave us alone.

 

Sophie: You don't love her. You love me. I know that.

 

Timo: No, I don't and now get lost. You’re really making a fool of yourself.

 

Sophie: You’re making a fool of yourself. Don't you realize that? Just admit it!

 

Timo: What? That I'm in love with Luzi? I can give it to you in writing if you want.

 

Sophie: You're lying.

 

Timo: Sophie...

 

Sophie: Then why did you let me spend the last couple of nights at your place without telling your beloved Luzi about that?!

 

Intro

 

[Pestalozzi, auditorium]

 

Luzi: You let her sleep over?!

 

Timo: I can explain that to you.

 

Luzi: But you said that you had a fight with your father.

 

Timo: Because I was afraid that exactly what's happening now would happen if I told you!

 

Luzi: With one big difference. It would have been the truth for a change, and not all of those lies!

 

Timo: Sophie didn't know where to go. What was I supposed to do?

 

Luzi: You really don't get it. And idiot that I am, I was even raving about the great trust between us!

 

Timo: This thing with us is something completely different, isn't it?

 

Luzi: No Timo. This thing between us isn't anything different. Because you...because you lie to me again and again! And I'm fed up with that!

 

Timo: Now wait a minute.

 

Luzi: Leave me alone.

 

She storms out.

 

Timo: Luzi!

 

He tries to go after her but Sophie grabs his arm.

 

Sophie: She'll get over it.

 

Timo: God, Sophie, what the fuck?! Shit.

 

 

[Beschenko home]

 

Karin: I'm glad that you came by. I was worried.

 

She offers him something to eat.

 

Ben: Thanks, I'm not hungry.

 

Karin: Eat something. It'll do you good.

 

Ben: Cheers.

 

Karin: Why don't you call home? Just to say that you're alright.

 

Ben: No.

 

Karin: I know you're angry at you father. There was no way to miss that, but I'm sure he's worried about you.

 

Ben: He isn't worried about me. He doesn't really care about me at all.

 

Karin: All parents are the same in this regard. Believe me.

 

Ben: Would you have thought him capable of getting my girlfriend pregnant and then pushing the baby on me? Or would you do something like that?

 

Karin: Excuse me?

 

Ben: Not even you would have thought it possible. Even though you've known him for a while.

 

Karin: I don't understand.

 

Ben: Caro's child wasn't mine...but his. And when she had an abortion...both of them claimed it was a miscarriage. Great father, isn't he? So you can be reassured. He sure as hell isn't worried about me. He doesn't give a shit about me.

 

 

[Vogel home]

 

Michael: (on the phone) Okay, great. Thanks. (he hangs up) Fuhrmann was able to get another visiting appointment for Bea.

 

Piet: Good lawyer.

 

Miriam: And Bea is going to need one.

 

Michael: Yeah. I'm sure she'll be happy to see you.

 

Miriam: Or Michael will go.

 

Piet: Ey, no offence, but the last time he messed it up.

 

Miriam: Yes. But that's the reason why he should go. So you can finally resolve this, and Bea would want that too.

 

Piet: Okay, fine. But don't mess it up this time, alright?

 

Michael: No way.

 

 

[Pestalozzi, auditorium]

 

Timo: Say, Sophie, are you out of your mind?!

 

Sophie: I just told the truth.

 

Timo: But it wasn't the truth. The truth is that I'm with Luzi and that I love her!

 

Sophie: But you let me sleep over at your place. That says it all.

 

Timo: You didn't know where to go!

 

Sophie: Yes, and you cared about that.

 

Timo: Well, of course!

 

Sophie: See. That shows that you still have feelings for me. I never wanted to break up with you and I thought about you the whole time and if you're honest, you didn't forget about me either.

 

Timo: No, I really didn't. Because I was damned worried, and you never called!

 

Sophie: Because it wasn't possible. But...I'm here now and...I need you now, Timo.

 

Timo: I let you sleep at my place...because you were doing really crappy and because I wanted to help you. But I'm together with Luzi now and I love her. Get that into your head!

 

Sophie: But you loved me.

 

Timo: You know something? After this whole stunt...I'm not sure at all whether I really loved you or whether I just imagined the whole thing.

 

Sophie: Timo, don't say that. Things with us can't be over just like that.

 

Timo: There isn't an us anymore!

 

 

[Beschenko home]

 

Ben and Karin are still talking in the kitchen. They don't notice when Luzi comes home.

 

Ben: I wanted to do everything right, different than before, and most of all different than my father. I wanted to take responsibility...and stand by Caro and the baby.

 

Karin: And it was the right decision.

 

Ben: Tch. No, it wasn't. All my fault.

 

Karin: But nobody could have expected something like this.

 

Ben: Not this. But I bought everything Caro said. Even when she claimed that she had only lost the child because she saw Bea and I together, I believed her. And I'm such a complete idiot that I went to Bea and blamed her for everything and threw her out of my life. Even though she was the only one who never lied to me, and...never tried to manipulate me.

 

Karin: When you say Bea...you mean Frau Vogel.

 

Ben: Long story. I'm sure you know that I was in love with her.

 

Karin: Yes, but that was a rumor.

 

Ben: A true one. And the whole truth is that she loved me too.

 

Karin chokes on her drink (or her disbelieve).

 

Karin: Then you two were a couple?

 

Ben: No. Bea didn't want that because...she's my teacher. But we had an affair. For a while.

 

(Yeah, right.)

 

Karin: Then she was the woman who you were lovesick over.

 

[Music: A Fine Frenzy - Almost lover]

 

After hearing all of this Luzi silently goes into her room, even more devastated and angry than before. She takes photos of Timo and her from her picture wall and scrunches them up.

 

Luzi: Fucking liar.

 

Then she takes a STAG picture of Emma, Hotte and Sophie and... (NO! Don't do it! It's Emma. And it's a cute picture! Look, Sophie is on the right hand side. You can just cut her off...arrrgh) scrunches that up as well and throws herself on the bed.

 

Timo tries to call her but she ignores the call.

 

 

[Pestalozzi, at the lockers]

 

Sophie has been sleeping in the corner next to the lockers. She wakes up, takes out her phone and selects her mother's number. Still, she hesitates to call her.

(What's the matter? Didn't like sleeping in that corner? Why ever not? It's a great corner. It's where Jemma will be making out in 175.)

 

 

[Beschenko home]

 

Luzi comes into the kitchen and barely throws a glance at Ben who is sitting at the table.

 

Ben: Morning. Your mother let me crash here.

 

Luzi: And why?

 

Ben: Trouble with my father. Were you at the school the whole night?

 

Luzi: No, I was here.

 

Ben: Okay. Didn't hear you come in.

 

Luzi: Yes, I noticed.

 

Ben: Are you alright?

 

Luzi: Yes, why?

 

Ben: Because you act like you're mad.

 

Luzi: Hmm...let me think for a second...Yes! That might be because I'm mad.

 

Ben: Okay. What's your problem?

 

Karin also comes into the kitchen.

 

Luzi: Let's not talk about it. I think you would prefer that and so would Frau Vogel. I heard your talk yesterday.

 

Ben: And now you're mad because I (...) with Bea...? I mean, with Frau Vogel...

 

Luzi: Oh, don’t hold back on my account. And no, I don't care if you (...) with her or someone else... But that you've been lying to my face this whole time makes me wanna puke.

 

Ben: Student-teacher...isn't an affair you go public with.

 

Luzi: Sure. There's always a reason to keep silent about the truth.

 

Ben: I better go to school. (to Karin) Thanks for letting me sleep over.

 

Karin: Anytime Ben. You're always welcome here.

 

Ben: Ähm...will you come by later?

 

Luzi: Don't know yet.

 

Ben: Alright. Then maybe I'll see you later.

 

Karin: Bye. - Luzi, what's wrong? This isn't really about Ben. Did you have a fight with Timo?

 

Luzi: God, don’t start with Timo.

 

Karin: So, that's it.

 

Luzi: Gosh, don't look at me like that!

 

Karin: You just acted very inappropriately.

 

Luzi: Maybe, but I'm fed up with letting everyone lie to me all the time. I don't do that, do I?!

 

Karin: Not everyone is lying.

 

Luzi: Ben, Timo, Sophie in any case, and Frau Vogel too!

 

Karin: You have to understand that.

 

Luzi: Yes. I understand that very well. They're all taking the easy way...and think only of themselves. And you know what? From now on, I'll do that too.

 

 

[Prison, visiting room]

 

Bea: Micha...

 

Michael: I wanted...

 

Bea: You start.

 

Michael: No, you first.

 

Bea: I thought Piet was coming.

 

Michael: Are you disappointed?

 

Bea: No. Thanks for the book.

 

Michael: Have you read it?

 

Bea: And the dedication. I'm sorry. For everything. I didn't mean what I said. Not any of it.

 

Michael: Nothing?

 

Bea: If you sit in a cell here for a long time, it breaks you down completely. You...you get kind of paranoid. You think everyone is out to get you. (And seeing as you already blackmailed me once...) To think that of you wasn't fair. You’ve been doing so much for me this whole time and ... I’ve been thinking this whole time about how to take it all back.

 

Michael: May I say something about this, too?

 

 

[Saal 1]

 

Götting and Alexandra are having breakfast when Luzi comes in.

 

Götting: Well, come on. Sit down and join us. Salmon? One shouldn't deny oneself the ability to indulge in the pleasant things in life. But that's why you called me, isn't it? Am I right to assume that you want to talk to me about my offer? Don't worry. Frau Lohmann shares my opinion that you're one of our most talented students. You know, Fräulein Beschenko, my reforms aren't really unsocial. On the contrary, work and effort should pay off once again. So if you're distancing yourself from the slackers, it only underlines the fact that you're cognizant of your worth.

 

Luzi: I've been thinking. Ähm...I'm going to accept the offer for the music university in Liverpool.

 

Alexandra: And in return get the others to abort the strike?

 

Luzi: Yes.

 

Götting: Then we're agreed.

 

Luzi: And I can also complete my Abi normally without having to get some kind of student loan.

 

Götting: You can completely count on me. This decision is going to change your life.

 

 

[Prison, visiting room]

 

Michael: The last time I walked out this door...I thought about how big a mistake it had been.

 

Bea: Us?

 

Michael: No. That we argued. I mean, you're stuck in here. You don't have to be considerate of me. You have every right to be sensitive. I can understand that.

 

Bea: I can insult you any way I want and you won't hold it against me? (Now that's an offer one couldn't refuse.)

 

Michael: Yes. As long as you're in here. But after I get you out of here...you'll have to really work at it and make amends.

 

Bea: Sounds fair.

 

Michael: I miss you so much.

 

Bea: And I you. When you have so much time to think...a lot of things become clear to you.

 

Michael: Like what?

 

Bea: Who is important to you. And what you still want to experience with this someone. Somehow I...I'm scared that I won't get a chance to do that anymore.

 

Michael: Bea. You'll get the opportunity. You will get out of here again. And I already have a plan.

 

 

[Klein home]

 

Sophie is looting the fridge. Then she loots the money jar her mother keeps in the cupboard.

Then Frau Klein comes home.

 

Frau Klein: Sophie.

 

First she's happy to see her daughter but then she notices that Sophie isn't there to stay but just to live out her criminal tendencies some more.

 

 

[Pestalozzi, foyer]

 

Ben is handing out flyers to the other students.

 

Ben: These are the flyers. We'll hand them out in the pedestrian zone later. The more people know about this the better. (Luzi is coming down the stairs.) Hey! It’s good that you're here.

 

Luzi: Yes, I'm here because I have something to say.

 

Ben: Sure. We'll go out in a bit and take a stand. Besides, they could really use a motivational speech. They're slowly running out of air. Three days in school without food and heating is rather difficult.

 

Luzi: Okay. Listen up, everyone! You did great. With all of this, and I think that we've shown that we can effect a lot. But regarding the strike...it's over.

 

Ben: What are you doing?

 

Luzi: We could hang out here for days...but it will be no use for us. I mean, let's not kid ourselves. Götting won't give in and we'll only get in more trouble in the end. Okay.

 

Ben: Say, are you insane?!

 

Timo: What is this supposed to mean?

 

Luzi: This is supposed to mean that you have to realize when you have lost a fight.

 

She walks out.

 

[Pestalozzi, school yard]

 

Timo: Say, can you explain to me what that was just now?

 

Luzi: A clear statement.

 

Timo: And why all of a sudden?

 

Luzi: Didn't you listen?

 

Timo: Yes. But I don't get it.

 

Luzi: Tough luck.

 

Timo: Hey, wait a minute. Has this anything to do with us?

 

Luzi: And the world revolves around Timo Özgül, or something? No, it doesn't have anything to do with us, imagine that.

 

Timo: Okay, what’s it about then?

 

Luzi: Maybe about it not being worth it to work one’s ass off for others?! Nothing will change, no matter how long we are going to hold out here! And in the end everything will be as it always has been.

 

Timo: This doesn't sound like you.

 

Luzi: How would you know what sounds like me?

 

Timo: Luzi, because we're together. Remember?

 

Luzi: Are we? Didn't look like that to me after this business with Sophie.

 

Timo: But do you have to trash the whole strike because of it?

 

Luzi: Listen up. I'm not doing this because of you. Or Sophie. I'm doing this because of me.

 

Timo: And what about the others?

 

Luzi: The others...let me think...I would say they don't give a shit about me, so from now on they don't matter to me either.

 

(I don't like how you completely forget about your very good friend Emma. Who hasn't lied to you and who is worse off in this two-class system than even you are. And I haven't forgotten about the Emma-photo destruction stunt earlier, either.)

 

Timo: Shit.

 

 

[Heisig apartment]

 

Michael: I’m grateful that it worked out with the visiting appointment.

 

Lawyer (whose name I’ve forgotten again): Michael, no problem. Because this was one of the few points in this case I was sure I could do something about.

 

Michael: What do you mean?

 

Lawyer: Michael, I don't want to discourage you and I think your support for Bea Vogel and your plan to find Jens Mirbach are really...remarkable.

 

Michael: But?

 

Lawyer: It's only three more days until the start of the trial.

 

Michael: Well, three days to find this Mirbach. Three. Days.

 

Lawyer: Michael, I've known you long enough to know that you're a realist. Still, you know that it's rather unlikely to find him in these three days, because no one knows whether he is even still in Germany, much less in Cologne.

 

Michael: Of course he's in Cologne. I was at the grave. I saw the flowers. They weren't old, they were fresh!

 

Lawyer: Which doesn't change the fact that he could be anywhere by now.

 

Michael: Alright, but I hope you agree that this is Bea's only chance.

 

Lawyer: I can't judge that because I have no idea what Jens Mirbach's testimony would be.

 

Michael: Okay. So you’re assuming that the indictment will stand?

 

Lawyer: Michael, I'm a realist too, and if no miracle happens, Bea will be facing 15-20 years in prison. And if you ask me, you should start getting used to that idea.

 

Michael: No. I won't.

 

 

[Klein house]

 

Frau Klein: Where do you plan on going now?

 

Sophie: Who cares? Just away from here!

 

Frau Klein: But I don't want you to roam the streets out there.

 

Sophie: And I don't want to continue to live under the same roof as you.

 

Frau Klein: Sophie, please let's talk about this calmly.

 

Sophie: God! There's no reason for me to talk to you anymore! You've lied to me from the start!

 

Frau Klein: Sweetheart, I only wanted to protect you, this whole time...

 

Sophie: You call that protecting?! You've only been trying to cover up the murder this whole time. You didn't give a damn about anything else!

 

Frau Klein: It wasn't like that.

 

Sophie: Just leave me alone!

 

The door bell rings. Sophie opens the door since she was about to storm out anyway.

 

Sophie: Jens?

 

Jens: You should tone it down a little. You can hear every word out here...or do you want the whole neighborhood to know that your father was a murderer?
