Episode 179

 

[Previously on Hand aufs Herz]

 

[Bergmann residence]

 

Michael: Honestly? I'm tired of this. Come on, lets go.

 

Helena: The truth will come out, anyways.

 

Bea: What is it?

 

Michael: I slept with her.

 

INTRO

 

Michael: Bea... I

 

Bea: and … her?

The two of you?

It´s a joke, right?

 

Michael: It was only this one time. It didn´t mean anything!

 

Bea: I have to go.

 

Michael: Bea …

 

Helena: And? Have I promised too much?

 

Stefan: Mhh...

 

Michael: Let me explain!

 

Bea: There is nothing to explain.

       You slept with her and I have to find out like this.

         Asshole.

 

Michael: I meant to tell you, but I just couldn´t.

 

Bea: You didn´t want to come because you knew that Helena would use this dinner to tell me

       about your little secret.

       When was your secret night?

       The dinner when you wanted to end your marriage? After that the two of you ended up in bed?

       Because of the good old times..?

       All those questions what I was thinking about cheating...Venice.

        Miriam even warned me. I am so dumb.

 

Michael: No, Bea. I... I was serious, really.

               I Love you

 

Bea: Don´t come after me.

 

Michael(to Ben): Are you happy now?

               This is exactly what you wanted.

 

Ben: No, it's not.

        I didn't want for her to get hurt.

 

 

[Saal 1- dance competition]

 

Emma: Salsa!!!

 

Miriam: I didt´n know that you could dance.

 

Piet: Some things have changed over the last months.

 

Miriam: Sad.

 

Piet: Do you want to win?

 

Miriam: Yes

 

Piet: Then, shut up and dance.

 

Emma: Only three pairs are left.

             Oh, only two more couples are now dancing to win the cup.

 

[on the street]

 

Ben: Bea!

         Wait!

 

Bea: Ben, what are you doing here?

         You shouldn't be here.

 

Ben: I witnessed your fight.

 

Bea: Great. The evening just keeps getting better and better.

 

Ben: I wanted to avoid this look in your eyes.

 

Bea: You knew?

         Who told you??

 

Ben: I overheard a conversation between them.

 

Bea: You didn´t tell me.

 

Ben: I wanted to stay out of it.

         But I didn´t want this to happen.

 

Bea: Who else knows? The whole school?

 

Ben: Nobody knows.

         Bea I wanted to tell you but I didn`t know how.

 

Bea: I have already heard that phrase tonight.

         Guess what? Go to hell!

 

Ben: Shit.

 

[Bergmann residence]

 

Michael: Congratulations.

               Now you got what you wanted.

 

Helena: You think I wanted this?

               As for me, no one needed to know.

 

Michael: Of course. That´s what all those hints were about.. your dress.

                 30 minutes later Bea would have guessed by herself.

 

Helena: See, then we can be happy that she at least has heard it from you.

               It´s better than to be hearing it from someone else.

               Believe me, I know what I´m talking about.

 

Michael: Why are you so devious and cunning?

 

Stefan: Mr Heisig, please. Helena has not forced you.

 

Michael: I know that you don´t care.

 

Stefan: We are all a little agitated.

             Would you like a Scotch?

 

Michael: Why are you doing this to me?

                 Why?

                 Why are you planning an evening to tear Bea and me apart?

 

Helena: Michael. You slept with me and then you destroy this wonderful evening by telling her      

               what you did.

              I really don´t know why you blame me for this desaster.

 

Michael: Both of you.... you really deserve each other.

 

Helena: I think so too.

Luzi: Hey.

 

Frank: Hey. Where is your outfit?

 

Luzi: Why? I thought my performance at Chulo's is tomorrow?

 

Frank: Yes, but I hope that you haven´t bought one outfit only?

 

Luzi: No, but those are still stage outfits.. I can't wear them in private.

 

Frank: Yes, but you can get used to the fact that you will attract a lot more attention in the future.

 

Luzi: But I'm actually quite happy with my old me.

 

Frank: Well. How pleased are you with the song?

 

Luzi: That´s what I wanted to talk to you about.

 

Frank: Right, there is more in there, right?

 

Luzi: Yes, I was afraid to tell you because I thought you would be disappointed.

 

Frank: Forget it, forget it. Look.

           Hmm, this is your song.

 

Luzi: I thought we'd just spice up the old song a bit because the performance is tomorrow evening.

 

Frank: Yes, but you still have one night to rehearse the song.

           This song was composed by Dora Swan.

             And when I heard it for the first time, I knew immediately: this is Luzis song.

             What do you think?

 

(on the street (it's filmed in Berlin by the way, they have really good food around the corner..just a note..))

Ben: Bea, please wait.

 

Bea: I told you to leave me alone.

 

Ben: Forget it.

         You can yell at me, lay your anger on me but I will not leave you alone.

         Listen to me!
         I'm sorry,that I didn't tell you.
         But you wouldn´t have believed me anyways.
         You would have thought that it´s just a ploy to get in between Michael and you.
         I did not want to be the one to break your heart.
         I leave that to others.
       Hey, at least I made you smile.

 

Bea: The night Michael and Helana …

         We were together at the camp fire.

         And we almost...

 

Ben: We almost kissed.

 

Bea: I don´t understand anything anymore.

 

 

[Saal 1 – dance competition]

 

Miriam: When will they finally give up?

 

Piet: Please don´t give up, okay?

 

Miriam: No, but … my feet are hurting and I´m thirsty.

 

Woman: You are married???

(other couple storms off)

Emma: Alright. We have a winner.

             Piet and Miriam Vogel. Congratulations!

            Here is your trophy!

             You were my favourites.

 

Miriam: Thanks.

 

Piet: Thank you very much.

 

Miriam: WE WON!!!

Sebastian: Wait a second. You told Bea in front of Helena?

 

Michael: Bergmann, Mr. Bergmann. He was there too.

 

Sebastian: Ok, whatever.. it´s good that the truth is finally out.

 

Michael: I´m such an idiot.

               If I loose Bea now, then it´s my own fault.

 

Sebastian: Come on, the two of you have been through a lot.

                   It doesn't mean,that it´s over.

                   Ahem, but you don´t want to be with Helena?

                   It was a mistake, right?

                   A relapse, so to say?

Michael: Of course, what else?

 

Sebastian: Then convince Bea.

                   Maybe she will forgive you.

                   Where is she now?

 

Michael: You'll have to ask Bergmann junior.

 

Sebastian: Ben?

 

Michael: Yes. He was chasing after her and to comfort her.

 

Sebastian: And you allowed that to happen? Are you out of your mind?

 

Michael: Yes.So, what? She wouldn't be consoled by me.

 

Sebastian: Of course not. She is mad at you.

 

Michael: Rightly so.

                 She was always honest and fair with me.

                 And I?

               I'm such an asshole.

 

10:30

 

[Bea’s apartment]

Bea: Thanks for escorting me home.

Ben: No prob.

Ben: I’d better go.... Or I’ll stay. That was stupid,sorry. Just call me if there’s something…if…

Bea: I’d like you to stay. I don’t want to be alone right now.

 

[Luzi’s apartment]

Luzi is singing

Frau Beschenko: Good morning. Tell me, how long do you want to keep practicing this song? Even I know it by heart by now.

Luzi:Did you sleep well?

Frau Beschenko: Yes. Thanks to my new friends.(holds up earplugs) Hey, today is your big day. Your first solo performance!

Luzi:How do you like the song?

Frau Beschenko: How do YOU like it?

Luzi:I asked first.

Frau Beschenko: I think it’s … nice.

Luzi:Yes, quite nice. Up until now, I’ve always chosen my songs myself. Songs that were a good fit for me. And not one of those songs was ever “nice”.

Frau Beschenko: But this Frank thinks that it is a good fit for you?

Luzi:Frank also thinks that these clothes are a good fit for me. But he is the producer and he knows what’s good for me. I trust him, I’ll go ahead with it.

Frau Beschenko: I’m convinced that any song will be a hit if you are singing it. But if you find out that all of this is not working out for you then just let it go. We’ve managed just fine without Frank Peters up until now.

 

[Bea’s apartment]

Bea:Ben?

 

[Piet’s apartment]

Lara: Is it made from real gold?

Piet: I’d rather say, it has more of a symbolic value. I’ve won it together with Miriam.

Lara: Äh, you don’t have to feel embarrassed in front of me but I don’t think your new girlfriend would appreciate it if you called her by Mama’s name.

Piet: Well, first of all, she’s not my new girlfriend, she’s my dancing partner. And second, the couples were drawn by lot and therefore I danced with Miriam and won.

Lara: You with Mama? The whole evening?

Piet: Yes.

Lara: And they drew lots? And you didn’t somehow have a hand in it?

Piet: Nonsense

Lara: That’s a strange coincidence.

Piet: Well, coincidence, fate…

Lara: Since when have you been you such a romantic?

Piet: We danced the whole night without break. That doesn’t sound romantic. We danced, won, that’s it.

 

 

 

[Bea’s apartment]

Michael:On my way here, I’ve asked myself the whole time what I could possibly say to you. But you already got it right, yesterday. I’m an asshole. And everything I could say now would sound like a cheap excuse.

Bea:Try it anyways.

Michael:Since Helena has been here, there have been moments… moments of closeness, moments in which I remembered the time we had together. The years we spent together... and what I appreciated about these times. And on the very day when everything should have ended, was the time when suddenly everything was just like before. There was no enmity, there were no conflicts… we just talked. And then it just happened. I wish, I could tell you that I was drunk but that would be a lie.

Bea:I think I know that feeling.

Michael:Yeah…

Bea:Coffee?

 

[RaumZeit Records]

Sonja: Good morning! I have an appointment with Frank Peters.

Miriam:Yes. Please give your name at the reception. You?!

Sonja: Yes, me. Frank is expecting me.

Miriam:Äh yes, I’m sorry. Frank is in an important meeting right now. And he made it clear that nothing and no one was to disturb him.

Sonja: Let me guess. Does this important meeting happen to be with Dora Swan?

Miriam:Ähm, yes, exactly.

Frank: Dora! Wow! You look fantastic. Hello.

Sonja: Hello.

Frank: Come with me.

 

[Bea’s apartment]

Michael: I understand you completely, and I honestly haven’t expected anything different.

Bea: You want to throw everything away? All those months? Your fight for me when I was in prison… my fear that you would die after the accident...

Michael: I don’t want to throw anything away. The time with you means everything to me. But I thought…

Bea: …that I wouldn’t want to see you anymore.

Bea: And I didn’t want to. It hurts. Very much. But all of us make mistakes. And sure, it’s easier after any problem to say “that’s it”, and to start anew with someone else. But you will always come back to the same point. This can never happen again. But I don’t want to throw what we have away.

Michael: And that means…

Bea: I just want to know one thing. Do you love Helena?

Michael: No. No, Bea, I love you, more than anything else.

Bea: OK.

Bea: Give me a little time.

Michael: Yes.

 

(in front of the school)

Ben: You are giving him another chance? He will hurt you again, I know it.

Bea:Thanks for being there yesterday. As a friend. But only I alone can decide if Michael deserves another chance or not.

Ben: Sure. To be together with Heisig is easy and comfortable. It is a boring standard relationship. That’s why you are comfortable. But that isn’t love. If you were in love with him, it would have hurt you that he slept with his ex-wife.

Bea:It did.

Ben: So much that you sleep on it once and then accept it? That didn’t hurt you. At least not very deeply. And that is the reason you are hanging on to it. Because you don’t have to risk anything. Neither feelings nor anything else. But this thing with us, that is something great. There are feelings involved that you can’t control and that’s why you are scared of it.

 

 

 

[RaumZeit Records]

Frank:Luzi and your song, that’s the perfect combination.

Sonja:I hope so. After all, you have persuaded me to give your no-name a chance.

Frank:Yes, and I’m sure you won’t regret it. But you can form your own opinion. She’ll be here shortly.

Frank:Hm, by the way, she heard the song the first time and you could say it was love at first tone.

Luzi:Hey

Frank:Hey.

Luzi:Hey. Miriam said, I should just come in here.

Frank:Yes. Luzi – Dora, Dora – Luzi.

Sonja: Hey, I’m glad that you like my song.

Luzi:On my way over, I have thought the whole time about how I could approach this topic. And I want to be honest. The song isn’t really a good fit for me. No matter how I sing it.

Sonja: Love at first tone, was it?

 

 

 

Ben:I’m right, aren’t I? Tell me. Tell me that I’m right.

Bea: I can’t.

Ben:Fine. Then tell me the opposite. Look into my eyes and tell me that you don’t love me. At least then I can get some closure. Just tell me. Tell me.
