Previously on Hand aufs Herz

 

Lohmann: She is not going to be getting away with it this time. And when she makes a mistake, I’ll be there.

 

Officer Hinze: Uhm, Ms Lohmann, unfortunately I have sad news for you. The examinations have revealed that what was found on the school campus yesterday are the mortal remains of your sister Franciska. (to Bea) You are Ms Vogel, right?

Bea: Yes.

Officer Hinze: We would like to ask you some questions.

 

Intro

 

[Pestalozzi, teachers’ room]

 

Lohmann: (to Bea) Didn’t you hear? The officers have got some questions for you.

Officer Hinze: Is there a room here, where we can talk to Ms Vogel in private?

Mrs Krawcyk: You can use the counseling room. (to Bea) Ms Vogel, please.

Officer Hinze: Thank you very much. (to Bea) Let’s go.

Lohmann: Now you are finally going to pay for it.

(Bea and the officers leave the teachers’ room.)

Lohmann: I knew this day would come. (to Mrs Krawcyk) And you knew it, too.

 

 

[Pestalozzi, Counseling room]

 

Bea: Have charges been brought up against me?

Officer Hinze: No. But why do you think should we press charges against you?

Bea: Because I’ve already been under suspicion of having something to do with the disappearance of Franciska Lohmann.

Officer Hinze: Well now she has shown up again…dead,though. Ms Vogel, this is just an interview, not a questioning, but…But I guess it’s in your best interest as well to be answering some open questions quickly.

Bea: I already answered all of them back then.

Officer Hinze: Yes. But I’m afraid that things have changed a little since yesterday, haven’t they? When were you informed about Ms Lohmann’s death?

Bea: Only just now…when you told her sister about it. Up until yesterday I was absolutely convinced that Franciska Lohmann is living in Australia.

Officer Hinze: Up until yesterday?

Bea: Of course there have been speculations about who the skeleton could be.

Officer Hinze: Yes. Because it was found at the very same spot where you saw Franciska Lohmann for the last time 11 years ago: In the construction area of today’s Volleyball field. I’ve read your file, Ms Vogel. Still I would like to hear you telling me again what happened back then,that night. You were a member of the school choir at the time...you, Franciska Lohmann…

Bea: And Jens Mierbach, my boyfriend back then. He told me that he had slept with her…that he had fallen in love with her. I asked her why she did this. Then she started laughing…’Because I can’, she said. I was numb. And then she tried to pass me by. I stepped aside, she lost her balance and… But she was ok when I left. Mrs Krawcyk saw her.

Officer Hinze: Yes. Because of Mrs Krawcyk’s statement the investigations against you were stopped.

 

 

[Pestalozzi, Volleyball field]

 

Ms Lohmann is staring into the pit where her sister was found.

 

 

[Pestalozzi, Counseling room]

 

Officer Hinze: And you let her go just like that? Even though you knew that she was injured?

Bea: She only had a scratch. I mean, if I can say so. Do you already know the cause of death? Does it really have something to do with the fall?

Officer Hinze: I think you know that I’m not allowed to tell you anything about that.

Bea: So that means I’m under suspicion again?

 

 

[Pestalozzi, Volleyball field]

 

Lohmann: (crying) She took her away from me. (Götting, who came up to her, tries to comfort her.)

 

 

[Pestalozzi, Counseling room]

 

Bea: But she was ok when she left…

Officer Hinze: Tell me, what did your relationship to Mrs Krawcyk look like back then?(Woohoo, wouldn't we REALLY like to know?;-)

Bea: She was the principal here. Like now.(Not answering the question there, Vogel..)

Officer Hinze: We will let you know in case we’ve got some more questions. Ah, uhm, who wanted for you to return to this school as a teacher?

Bea: I did.

 

 

[Saal 1]

 

Sebastian: Michael told me about it yesterday. How is Bea?

Miriam: Well, for now we will have to wait and see how the investigation of the police goes.

Sebastian: And how are you?

Miriam: I’m going to view an apartment at noon today.

Sebastian: Ah really?
Miriam: Yes. (She shows him the newspaper ad.)

Sebastian: New building, 1,5 rooms, 400 € rent exclusive of heating costs…(He doesn’t seem very excited about it.)

Miriam: What?

Sebastian: Nothing.

Miriam: Do you think it’s too expensive?

Sebastian: Well, I think you could find something better if you look for it a little longer.(I'll take it!!!)

Miriam: Yes, but I can’t look around longer. I can’t stay at Bea’s forever. And if Piet and I live so close to each other any longer, then it is really going to explode at some point.

Customer: I would like to pay.

Miriam: Yes, I’ll be right there.

Sebastian: And what if you're staying at my place for now?

Miriam: Well, I’ve to hand him the bill now, ok? See you in a bit.

 

 

[Pestalozzi, changing room]

 

Caro: Don’t you want to get changed?(Why would you be asking that,Caro?)

Jenny: Why? You don’t seriously think that we’re going to work out today, do you?

Caro: And why not?

Jenny: Because a skeleton was found under our Volleyball field!

Lohmann comes in.

Caro: Ms Lohmann.

Lohmann: You’re surely wondering about the body that we found on the Volleyball field yesterday. And some of you probably noticed that the police have been in the building today. The body is my twin sister Franciska's. Ms. Vogel is being interrogated in this matter at the moment.

 

[Saal 1]

 

Sebastian: Like I said, my offer still stands.

Miriam: Yes, but just because you have a fantastic apartment...

Sebastian: Exactly. And why do I have it?

Miriam: Hm, let me think. Yes! Because you took your time with the apartment-hunting and you didn’t choose the first but the best offer.

Sebastian: Exactly.

Miriam: Alright, but I’m not you and I’m in a completely different situation than you were in back then. Starting all over again after so many years is hard enough already.

Sebastian: Yes, but you don’t need to do it alone.

Miriam: Yes, I do. I have to.

 

 

[Pestalozzi, stairway]

 

Caro: (calling Sophie) Now come on! Pick up!

Sophie’s voicemail: Hello, this is Sophie! Message after the Peep. Peep.

Caro: Dammit Sophie, why don’t you call me? I sent you a mail yesterday and I have no idea if you received it. Anyway, Franciska Lohmann’s body was found here. Obviously she has been lying under the Volleyball field for more than 10 years! Crazy! Ok, anyway, the important thing is that you know: She is NOT in Australia and there is no child either. And if this Jens wrote you letters in which he claimed that he took off with her, then he is lying. I have no idea why he is doing this and…anyway. So, if you meet this Jens, please be careful! Bye!

(I certainly would not have picked up my German cellphone in Australia either..all that wonderful blackmail money..gone with one phonecall!)

Timo: (who overheard Caro) You know where Sophie is?

 

 

[Pestalozzi, principal’s office]

 

Someone is knocking on the door.

Mrs Krawcyk: Yes?
Bea comes in.

Mrs Krawcyk: Bea! How did it go?

Bea: I had to tell them the whole story all over again.

Mrs Krawcyk: And what did you tell them?

Bea: (looking shocked and surprised about this question) The truth!

Mrs Krawcyk: Good. Then you should stick to it, too.

Bea: I didn’t kill Franciska! You know that! You saw her back then!

Mrs Krawcyk: Yes, of course.

Bea: Mrs Krawcyk…you testified that Franciska was ok after our argument. Did you notice something?

Mrs Krawcyk: What do you mean?

Bea: Well, maybe her injuries were worse than I thought or … I don’t know.

Mrs Krawcyk: No. I didn’t notice anything. Nothing at all. And now if you’ll excuse me. You can imagine how our provisional principal is acting at the moment. I…I still have things to discuss with Mr Götting.

 

 

[Pestalozzi, stairway]

 

Caro: Would you please let go of me?

Timo: Have you just talked to Sophie on the phone? You know where she is!

Caro: So?

Timo: So?! I want to know where she is at!

Caro: First of all, I don’t think it’s any of your business anymore now that you have messed around with this singing chick. And secondly, …the first is totally enough. Bye!

(Caro receives a text message.)

Timo: Is it from Sophie? (He takes away Caro’s phone to read.)

Caro: Say, are you crazy?

(Timo opens the message which says:

Thank you for your message! I’m fine! I have found Jens. But don’t worry, I’ll be careful. XXX Sophie.

 

Timo: Who is Jens?

Caro: Well, you really would like to know, right?

Timo: Now, tell me where Sophie is! And what does it mean: she will be careful?

Caro: Well, what does a woman usually watch out for when she is with a man, hm? Good luck with thinking about it!

 

 

[Pestalozzi, teachers’ room]

 

Michael: I’ve already heard about it. It’s indeed Lohmann’s sister. How are you feeling now?

Bea: I don’t know. I don’t know anything anymore. I have always been absolutely convinced that Franciska went to Australia with Jens. And now? Everything that I have always believed in is suddenly being questioned.

Michael: Everything? Until now you have thought that this Franciska was alive and just ran away.

Bea: Yes.

Michael: And now she’s dead. But it doesn’t change the fact that you don’t have anything to do with it.

Bea: It’s just that nobody wants to believe that anymore.

Michael: I believe you.

Bea: Thank you for being there for me. I’ve got to get to the rehearsal.

Michael: Yes.

 

 

[Pestalozzi, Auditorium]

Bea is watching Emma and her friends from outside the Auditorium.

 

Luzi: But Ms Vogel told us what happened back then! Have you already forgotten about it?

Hotte: Though she also said that Franciska Lohmann was in Australia.

Luzi: But that doesn’t mean that she killed her!

Hotte: Well it’s not what I’m saying. I just think it’s crazy.

Emma: Is it true that the police have interrogated her?

Timo: Pff, I have no idea.

(Bea comes in.)

Bea: Hey...You surely want to know about what happened…It’s true. The skeleton that you guys found is indeed Franciska Lohmann. And it’s also true that the police have interrogated me about the matter.

Luzi: But why? You don’t have anything to do with it!

Bea: Well I’ve already told you that back then I was suspected to have had something to do with Franciska’s disappearance. There were speculations. We had a fight. I was the last one to see her alive. And…well, now that it has been confirmed that she indeed died that night…it’s certain that I’ll be a suspect again.

Hotte: And did you do it?

Luzi: Hotte! What the hell?

Timo: We know that you have nothing to do with it.

Hotte: Aren’t we allowed to ask anymore?

Bea: Yes, you are. And I can reassure you: I didn’t do it. I have no idea how Franciska Lohmann died. When I last saw her she was still alive.

Luzi: We believe you!

Hotte: Well, I do, too!

Bea: I know.

Emma: It surely was just some stupid accident.

Hotte: Yes, and well you have already said that this Franciska slipped and fell into the pit.

Bea: Anyway. I hope the truth is finally going to come out now.(Yes, and it will be singing “Someone please call 911” on top of the schoolbooks..)

Luzi: It better! So that people will finally stop suspecting you!

Bea: You’ll surely understand that under these circumstances, it would be better to cancel the rehearsal.

Hotte: No way!

Luzi: Because we have a little surprise for you.

Emma: Do you want to hear it?

Timo: It’s just for you!

They start singing “Dreams”. At the same time Miriam is shown being frustrated by looking for apartments and then ending up at Sebastian’s door.

Bea: Thank you!

 

 

[Pestalozzi, kiosk]

Timo and Luzi are disgusted by the stuff Caro is eating.(Cake?)

 

Caro: What??

Luzi: Hi! Is this your new diet?

Caro: Listen, dwarf! You’d better go and comfort your buddy here (meaning Timo) so that after his next pang of jealousy he won’t bother and ask me about Sophie again! Because it’s really annoying!

(Caro leaves.)

Luzi: What was that?

Timo: Well just forget about it!

Luzi: What exactly do you want me to be forgetting about now?

Timo: I got to know that Caro is in touch with Sophie.

Luzi: So?

Timo: Well, nothing. I just wanted to know where she is…Come on, I was worried about her! You were, too!

Luzi: Yes, right. We all want to know where she is.

Timo: Yup.

Luzi: But you always act as if it’s a huge secret and that there is actually much more to it!

Timo: But there isn’t!

Luzi: And it’s not the first time that you are keeping something from me that is related to Sophie.

Timo: But that was something totally different! Back then she was still here!

Luzi: What is that supposed to mean now?

Timo: Nothing! Gosh, Sophie is over!

 

 

[Pestalozzi, corridor]

 

Timo: Come on, listen to me! I overheard that Caro got a message from Sophie.

Luzi: And you had to read it immediately, didn’t you?

Timo: Yes, of course! I thought…

Luzi: Yes? What?
Timo: I thought she might be in trouble. But apparently she isn’t. Instead she is with a guy called Jens and is having a wonderful time.

(Short appearance of Emma and Jenny in the background, but one after the other.)

Luzi: Are you jealous?

Timo sighs. And Caro is watching them with amusement.

Luzi: Ah, forget it!

(Bea appears in the corridor.)

Bea: Would you all go in, please? I would like to start.

 

 

[Pestalozzi, class room]

 

Bea: Last time we started with the calculation of areas by using integrals. Could one of you clean the blackboard please? We’re going to need it.

(Timo decides to do it, after nobody seems to make a move.)

Bea: Thank you. If we want to calculate the area under a parabola, then we’ll need…

(Timo opens the blackboard and everybody can see “MURDERER” written on it.)

Eeeek!!! “Wicked” moment!!!Luzi is probably going to share her lunch with Bea next!
