Episode 165 - English

Before on 'Hand aufs Herz'

 

[Chulos]

 

(Ronnie punched Ben.)

 

Ronnie: Better?

 

Ben: Laughable.

 

(Ronnie punches and kicks him in the guts, letting Ben go down. Ben laughs like a maniac.)



[Hospital – Timo's room]

 

Luzi: I didn't mean for this to happen.

 

Timo: I don't fucking care for what you meant to happen. Because of you and Ben, I'm going to spend my life in a wheelchair. So get the hell out of here. You fucking ruined my life.

 

(Intro)



Part 1

 

[Hospital – Timo's room]

 

Luzi: I understand that you're angry. And it really sucks that you're...and it's so unfair. And that you have to vent your anger, I also understand. That's what friends are for. We are friends. When you get out of here we'll do the coolest things. We won't be stopped by a stupid wheelchair. And to the stage of the auditorium we'll build a ramp. - - Timo? Please talk to me.

 

Timo:I may be paraplegic but I'm not stupid. I meant what I said and I said, get out! I never want to see you again.

 

 

[Chulos]

 

Jenny: Hey, stop! Piss of asshole!

 

Ronnie: He asked for it. You all heard it.

 

Sebastian:Get out of here. Immediately. Get lost.

 

Ronnie:Let go of me, I wanted to leave anyway,fucker. Sophie, come on. Let's get out of here.

 

(Jenny looks appalled at Sophie when Sophie follows Ronnie's order.)

 

 

[Bea's place]

 

Michael:From now on you'll always drive to the Italian and get me something to eat.

 

Bea: I'll drive everywhere for you, but only as long as you're sick. When you're back on your feet you'll have to return the favor.

 

(They kiss.)

Michael:Hm, I will.

(Phone rings)

 

 

[Chulos]

 

Emma: Come on, pick up already!

 

 

[Bea's place]

 

Bea:Hello?

 

 

[Chulos]

 

Emma:Oh, Ms. Vogel, hello. Thank god, I was able to reach you. It's Emma. Yeah, something happened. We're at the Chulos and you really have to get here. It's because of Ben.

 

Emma(to the others):She'll come.

 

 

[Bea's place:]

 

Bea:I have to go there, quickly. Something is wrong.

 

Michael:What's with our dinner?

 

Bea:Start without me, I'll hurry to be back quickly.

 

Michael: Well, okay, then I'd start with the movie, too.

 

Bea:Don't you dare. I'll be back in a moment.

 

 

[Chulos]

 

Jenny: I don't get it. Why did he do that? Why does he let himself be beaten up.

 

Bodo: Is Ben often...weird?

 

Jenny(scoffs): Yeah, sometimes. But I've never seen him being that weird.

 

Emma:Man, where is Ms. Vogel?

 

Bodo: I'll knock again. Maybe he'll open up now.

 

(Ben is shown, sitting on the floor of the men's bathroom.)

 

[Hospital - Timo's room]

 

(Flashback)

Luzi:That thing with Ben, that just happened. But it doesn't mean anything.

 

Timo: So I've turned into a cripple for nothing?

 

Luzi:Stop it.

 

Timo: You turned me down big time when I was lying here, remember? That's why I left the hospital to go looking for you. Because I wanted to talk to you.

(/Flashback)

 

(After thinking about their conversation again, Timo reaches for his phone on his night stand. It falls down to the floor where he can't reach it anymore due to his injury.)

 

 

[Raumschiff Records]

 

Frank:"Uh, Katja, where do I find that... that... Demo Tape of the Rapgroup, who has been here last week?"

Katja: "Hm, first folder left in „R“"

 

Frank: "In "R", there they are. If I hadn't you!"

 

 

Caro: "Then you would have me."

 

Frank: "You are still here?"

 

Caro: "Of course. Have you read my job application?"

 

Frank: "I really like your ambition, but I search an experienced full-time-women, not a student. I'm

sorry!"

 

Katja: "Oh no... oh no....oh no ... the fruity catering for Andrew Weg has canceled."

 

Frank: "WHAT?"

 

Katja: "If he doesn't get his fruity menu he will get very angry. He just wants fruits, windfall to be exact. Compared with Andrew Weg, Naomi Campbell is like a real lap-dog!"

 

Frank: "What are we doing now? Any Alternative?"

 

Caro: "Well, anyway, I am very well qualified, because I have... eh.."

 

Katja: "Oh, shit, shit, the Amniotic sac (literally in German: Fruit bladder)... ohhhh"

 

Caro: "Could you please stop talking about this fruit stuff all the time? I try to have a job interview here!"

 

Katja: "I don't talk about fruits, I talk about the baby. I have to go to the hospital."

 

Frank: "Listen, I drive you to the hospital and in the car we call Paul, okay?"

 

Katja: "Oh!"

 

Frank: "Watch out."

 

 

Caro: "Fruity Catering... let's go."

 

 

[Saal 1]

 

Helena:I hope you waited with dessert for me.

 

Stefan: I'll pass that today.

 

Helena:How rude. Perhaps the team-coaching would be good for you, too?

 

Stefan: Nice transition. To be clear about it from the start, I don't think it's a good idea. It's a school not the Federal Armed Forces!

 

Helena: It's just about a personal training for three days in the nature to put Ben's head straight. You should at least take a look at it.

 

Stefan: Like I just said, I don't like those measures. Independent, mature adults are the decision-makers of tomorrow. Not those people who learned their discipline by some Drill Masters.

 

Helena: That means?

 

Stefan: That means that I do not support your plan financially.

 

Helena: What a pity, especially for Ben, because I don't know how he can stay at the school without this team coaching.

 

Stefan: What do you mean?

 

Helena: It is very serious.

 

Stefan: Would you please be more concrete?

 

Helena: Your son fights very often. I don't know what's the problem between him and Ronnie Peters, but I can't ignore it any longer.

 

Stefan: He's a young men. It's normal. You shouldn't overrate this.

 

Helena: I can't tolerate violence at my school. And as the head master I have to make clear, that it does not work this way. And with a Team coaching...

 

Stefan: Helena? I really understand your show of force.

 

Helena: Good.

 

Stefan: But not when it's about my son. Then I see absolutely no fun. So once again this camp does not take place. End of the discussion. But this doesn't have to ruin our evening, does it? May I invite you on a wine?

 

 

[Chulos]

 

Emma:Ms. Vogel, there you are, finally.

 

Bea: What happened?

 

Jenny:Ronnie beat Ben up.

 

Bea: Yet again?

 

Emma: Yes. But this time Ben didn't even defend himself. Ronnie punched him and he didn't do anything. As if he wouldn't feel anything.

 

Bea:Well, where is he?

 

Bodo:No chance.

 

(Bea knocks on the bathroom door.)

 

Bea:Ben, it's me.

 

(Ben gets off the floor and opens the door to Bea.)

 

Bea:Oh my god.

 

 

[Raumschiff Records]

 

Caro: No, it has to be fruity. Of course carrots don't work, they have to be reaped. - Everything that voluntarily falls of a tree or a bush or it's murder, got it? - Don't you know who Andrew Weg is? He not only has a bunch of platinum records and two Grammys, he also let himself be locked up in a tiny cage for a month when he was just seven teen, protesting against animal experiments. This man deserves to have his wishes be fulfilled. - Yes, I'd love to draw up a list for you. - Okay... – You can do it? That's fantastic. I knew I could count on you. Yes, well, thank you very much already in advance. We'll see each other tomorrow then. - Good.

 

(She hangs up.)

 

Caro:Yes, this is totally meant to be my job.

 

 

(Commercial)

 


Part 2

 

[Bergmann Villa – Ben's room]

 

(Bea brought Ben home and puts him into Bed, helping him undress and before she goes she places a kiss on her fingers before placing them on his forehead.)

 

 

[Raumschiff Records]

 

Caro:Hello.

 

Frank:You're still here.

 

Caro:I couldn't just go. You seem pretty relaxed for someone who just lost their assistant.

 

Frank:Yeah, yeah. Katja is fine. You know, you shouldn't take this that serious or else you might lose it one day.

 

Caro:And what are you planning concerning Andrew Weg?

 

Frank: I have to cancel that. Without fruity menu he won't even talk to me. Hard luck.

 

Caro: That would be sad.

 

Frank: Well, that's life. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. But it's a real pity. I really would have liked to get him under contract.

 

Caro: And what if I tell you that the menu is no problem at all, and that you won't have to cancel the meeting after all. Everything is set up.

 

 

[Pestalozzi – Auditorium]

 

(Luzi is in the auditorium thinking about Timo and what he won't be able to do anymore. Timo is shown to be dancing Michael Jackson style and it's awesome.)

 

 

[Bea's place]

 

(Bea comes home to Michael having fallen asleep on the couch in front of the Tv. When she's about to turn it off, Michael gets up.)

 

Bea: Hey, you're still awake.

 

Michael: We had a date, after all.

 

Bea: Uh, yes, I'm sorry. It took a bit longer.

 

Michael: Hmm..

 

Bea: Did you watch the dvd without me?

 

Michael: No, I waited for you.

 

Bea: Thank you. I'm totally beaten.

 

Michael: What happened anyway?

 

Bea: There was a fight at Chulos. Pretty bad.

 

Michael: There was a fight at Chulos and they call you to sort that out? Who was in the fight?

 

Bea: This new kid. Ronnie Peters.

 

Michael: And who else?

 

Bea: Ben.

 

Michael: Ben. Ben Bergmann? Why doesn't that surprise me?

 

Bea: Ronnie roughed him up good. You should have seen him.

 

Michael: Aw. Did he have to go to the hospital?

 

Bea: No. But I don't understand this. Ben provoked Ronnie to punch him and then he didn't defend himself. Why did he do that?

 

Michael: I can tell you. Because he wants to get attention.

 

Bea: That's not it. It's something serious.

 

Michael: It's always something serious when it's about Ben.

 

Bea: Okay, not again. Can't we pretend he'd be a student like everyone else and find an objective solution?

 

Michael: Yeah, alright. Let's try to do this objectively. So, Ben, excuse me, a young man who generally loves to get into conflicts which...

 

Bea: Stop it.

 

Michael: Excuse me, I'm trying to determine Ben's problem.

 

Bea: Pretty cynical.

 

Michael: Of course it sounds cynical since I can't come up with as much sympathy as you do for him. Bea, what am I supposed to do? I'm not feeling good, but that's because I had an accident, and not because I fight my way out of boredom through some clubs.

 

Bea: I'm going to bed.

 

Michael: Why?

Bea: Because I'm tired and I don't want to fight. We talk tomorrow, okay?

 

(She gives him a kiss before leaving.)

Michael:Bea, come here. Bea, please come back.

 

 

[Sebastian&Miriam's place(?)]

 

Sebastian: Do you need anything else?

Michael:
Yes, something to do. To hang around, doing nothing, is making me go mad.

 

Sebastian:Usually you're in a better mood than this.

 

Michael: Well, it happens.

 

Sebastian: What happens?

 

Michael: To say the wrong thing but mean the right.

 

Sebastian: Call her, she'll forgive you.

 

Michael: What do you mean?

 

Sebastian: Well, the fight you had with Bea.

 

Michael: Why do you think it's Bea?

 

Sebastian: Huh, she's pretty much is in an as good mood as you are. I have to go. Will you be okay?

 

Michael: Yes, of course, go.

 

(Michael tries to call Bea.)

 

 

[Pestalozzi – Hallway]

 

Bea: Hey. Are you okay?

 

Ben: Thanks for yesterday.

 

Ben: Wait.

 

(She checks out his wounds.)

 

 

[Pestalozzi – Hallway in front of the teacher's room]

 

Helena: What are you doing here? You're still on sick leave from the doctor.

 

Michael: I don't care. To uselessly hang around at home never was mine, as you know.

 

Helena: To act carelessly neither. Or is there another reason?

 

Michael: No, I just want to work.

 

Helena: You've always been a bad liar. Tell me already. What's up? Come on, we'll begin with having some tea.

 

Michael: No, I really...

 

Helena: I'm sure you're having a few minutes for your ex-wife, right?

 

(Michael follows her in her office.)

 

(Commercial)

 


Part 3

 

[Pestalozzi – Hallway]

 

Bea: Emma said it looked like you wanted Ronnie to hit you.

 

Ben: That's exactly what I wanted.

 

Bea: Ben, I don't understand, why didn't you defend yourself?

 

Ben: I deserved it. Believe me.

 

Bea: No one deserves that.

 

Ben: Timo doesn't deserve to be sitting in a wheelchair from now on.

 

Bea: Why? The doctors said...

 

Ben: You don't know yet? Timo is paralyzed.

 

Bea: But only temporarily. He'll be okay, that's what the doctor said.

 

Ben: The doctor said he wasn't allowed to move at any case. But he didn't listen, because he was searching for me and Luzi. Doing that he broke a vertebra.

 

Bea: What?

 

(Ben leaves)

 

 

[Pestalozzi – Helena's Office]

 

Helena: How are you really doing?

 

Michael: Better, thank you.

 

Helena: You look tense.

 

Michael: Yes, that's because at home I can't relax, because there's always something going on.

 

Helena: Why?

Michael: Didn't you hear about the fight at Chulos?

 

Helena: No?

 

Michael: Ronnie Peters beat up Ben Bergmann. Thoroughly.

 

Helena: And how do you know?

 

Michael: The students called Bea to get them to stop. And then she took care of Bergmann.

 

Helena: To what extent?

 

Michael: She brought him home and patched him up. - Don't look at me like that, you were the one who made her to the guidance teacher. It's clear that such missions are involved with that.

 

Helena: I'd rather have her do her job inside the school building instead of hanging out in clubs at night.

 

Michael: Helena, you didn't listen to me. The students called her, asking for her help.

 

Helena: Of course. I'm sorry.

 

(She gets up and starts to massage Michael.)

 

Michael: On the other other hand you're not completely wrong. It's great that she comes through for her students, but...

 

Helena: You're back is hard as a rock.

 

Michael:Honestly, that doesn't surprise me.

 

Helena: Is this nice?

 

Michael: Y-yeah, that's nice.

 

Helena: It's nice to see you and talk to you.

 

Michael: I think so, too.

 

Helena: But it's bizarre, too. I mean, we're as good as divorced and you're together with Bea now. As a married couple we might have failed, but you always were my best friend. I missed him a lot since our break up.


Michael: Yes, well, thanks. If that's all.

 

Helena: It's always a pleasure, so feel free to come to me. - Come here.

 

(Helena hugs him. After a moment he hugs her back. They pull back from each other, hovering in the other's space with their faces close to each other.)

 

(It's in question if they'll kiss.)



 

- See you again tomorrow with choco fresh and a new episode of 'Hand aufs Herz'!
