[Vogel house]
Piet: Sister-heart! Don’t let these guys bother you! They are idiots, and some day they will stop!
Bea: Nevertheless! I don’t want you to get messed up in it! Maybe I should move out already!
Piet: No, you’re staying here with your family! We will get through this, just like always. We’ll get through it together. They cannot hurt us!
[Bea’s apartment]
Bea opening the door
Inspector: Ms. Vogel! Hello! Can we come in? We’ve got a search warrant!
[Intro]
[Bea’s apartment]
The Policemen are searching the apartment.
Bea: What is this supposed to mean? What do you expect to get from this?
Inspector: Insights into the murder case of “Franziska Lohmann”!
Michael: (coming in) What’s going on here?
Bea: House search! Watch out! She runs over to stop one of the cops from messing up her notes. Those are my work materials! I need it for my lessons!
Inspector: Don’t worry about it! Everything that has nothing to do with the case will be returned to you after the end of the investigation.
Giving up, Bea walks back over to Michael who puts his arm around her.
Bea: When will that be?
Inspector: Well, if I’ve been informed correctly, you’ve been suspended from teaching anyway since you’re a suspect, right?
Michael: Kissing Bea on the head Let him talk, they can’t hurt you!
Bea: Yes, because I’m innocent!
[Pestalozzi]
Emma is sitting on the backrest of the sofa with Hotte and Timo looking very desperate.
Hotte: But why didn’t could you cope with the test?
Emma: I had text anxiety!
Hotte: Okaaaay! But since when do you have a problem with exams?
Emma: Just stop it! I messed up and the reason doesn’t matter!
Hotte: Or there’s another possibility! He looks and nods at Timo, who just kinda snickers and looks away. Her mind was somewhere else! Well, that fact Jenny and I nearly got together really threw you off balance! It was obvious!
Emma: If you suggest one more time, just one more time, that I’m in love with you, you will die a slow, painful death! You got that!??!
Jenny is now looking at Emma…
Timo: Well, I don’t get the impression that she’s particularly in love, hum!?!
Hotte: But if it’s not true, why did you get so about the thing with Jenny?
Emma realizes Jenny looking at her, as if she is also waiting for the answer to this question…and sinks on the sofa with that look…as if she doesn’t want to answer Hotte, doesn’t want to answer Jenny and even doesn’t want to answer herself…
[Bea’s apartment]
The Policemen are still searching the apartment
Michael: I’m calling Horst Formann. You have a right to talk to your attorney if your house is being searched!
Bea: It wouldn’t change anything! To imagine that they…
Officer: Thomas!
Bea: It’s like a home invasion!
Michael: They’re nearly finished! They won’t find anything! I mean what could they find?
Inspector: Ms. Vogel! Could you please come over here!
Bea: What! Do you want to show me my math exams that I have on the hard drive?
Inspector: My colleague has just found something very interesting! Recently you searched very intensively for the whereabouts of Jens Mirbach in Australia!
Bea: If I had really worked together with him, then why would I have to look for him? Once again: I have nothing to do with the death of Franziska Lohmann, and the fact that someone else wants to cover up her death…. that could also exonerate me! That’s why I searched for him! And since you haven’t pursued these leads, you have yet to realize that!
Inspector: Don’t underestimate us Ms. Vogel! In this murder investigation we will follow every lead! May I ask what your inquiries have come up with?
Bea: I’ve found no hint of Jens anywhere!
Officer2: Boss! Look! (handing over a postcard)
Inspector: Thank you! Aha! (reading the card) Dear Bea, sorry that I can’t… Christmas greetings, Jens. Postmarked December 2010, Frankfurt-on-Main. Ms. Vogel, things don’t look good for you if the sender of this card really is Jens Mirbach!
Bea is just like ‘SHIT!!”
[Bergmann villa]
Stefan is on the phone when Ben walks in. Ben slows down when he sees his father, but continues on to pour a cup of tea.
Stefan: This was a highly speculative investment. Things like this have crashed before. He listens to the person on the other side. But that’s not our problem! If the old lady can’t read the fine print anymore, then she should invest her money in reading glasses and not in Portuguese real estate funds! I have to go! And, how did the placement test go?
Ben: Does our new director give a daily report to you now? Or how is it that you’re the only one who knew about the test?
Stefan: As generous sponsor of your school I can expect to be informed about any changes in a timely manner!
Ben: So what does that cost you? The pension plan of the lady you just soaked?
Stefan: Ben, in life there are only winners or losers, and I try to ensure that you don’t belong to the latter! So how did you do?
Ben: Just ask your buddy Götting! If I were you, I wouldn’t get my hopes up!
Ben starts to walk away when stopped by his father’s words.
Stefan: Ben, I don’t know how many times I have to say it! Your high-school diploma is essential for your future, and I expect that you…
Ben: I know what you expect, but I don’t know how often I have to say it! Bite me with your career and proficiency shit!
Stefan: Tell me, when are you going to grow up and realize that you have to take responsibility for your life!?!
Ben: Just imagine, that’s exactly what I am doing! Caro just lost her baby! I will bloody well look after her, and not some dumb placement test!
He leaves.
Caro: (coming in) Was that Ben?
Stefan: Yes!
Caro: Is he in his room?
Stefan: One second! It’s your thing if you want to put on an act with your supposed miscarriage, but if you cause my son to mess up and spoil his prospects for the future, you will regret it!
Caro: If you would stop being against me, then you would realize that we basically want the same thing!
Stefan: I’ll dare to doubt that, and I’m warning you: Don’t overstep the mark, Caro!
Caro: Then I’ll warn you also: If you don’t stop annoying me with your threats, I’ll convince Ben that we’ll be better off somewhere else other than we are here! And it would be quite easy! (snapping her fingers and off she goes!)
Stefan stares daggers at Caro’s retreating back.
[Bea’s apartment]
The Inspector has a recording machine which he clicks ‘ON’ and puts down.
Inspector: For the record: Ms. Vogel, you’ve stated several times that you have not had any contact to Jens Mirbach for approximately the last 11 years.
Bea: That’s the truth!
Inspector: Furthermore, you believe it’s possible that he had something to do with the death of Franziska Lohmann.
Bea: I don’t know!
Inspector: Or you at least expected an exonerative statement from him.
Bea: I want an explanation on why pretended to have moved to Australia with Franziska!
Inspector: That’s something we’re also interested in, as well as the question of if there isn’t more to link you with Jens Mirbach than you let on.
Bea: That’s purely an assumption!
Inspector: No Ms. Vogel. I see things a bit differently! I mean after all, you have kept a box with mementos for 11 years. With photos, with souvenirs, with letters…
Bea: Isn’t that normal? He was my first love! We were young! You keep such things!
Inspector: After all he did to you?
Bea: Back then I put everything into that box, put it in the attic and…didn’t remember until…
Inspector: Until this in German postmarked card came. Weren’t you surprised? To hear from him after all this time?
Bea: Of course! But I didn’t think the card was as important as I do now! I didn’t know that Franziska was dead!
Inspector: So you say!
Bea: I didn’t know!
Inspector: Then what happened?
Bea: I have already told you! Except for the card, I haven’t heard anything from him, and I haven’t seen him!
Inspector: You know what Ms. Vogel? I don’t believe you, and do you know why? Because you weren’t honest with us about other things as well!
Bea: I never lied to you! Not ever!
Inspector: At the very least you’ve withheld important evidence! For example, that a key witness was recently in Germany, and I suppose you have your reasons for that!
[Pestalozzi break area]
Timo is leaning against the railing reading something
Luzi: Hi, have you seen Ben anywhere?
Timo: No! Not since he just ran out during the test! Tell me, what is going on between you guys?
Luzi: Eh, nothing?! He’s just rather unwell!
Timo: What’s the matter with him?
Luzi: I promised him that I wouldn’t tell anyone…
Timo: It must be something very important!
Luzi: Yes! For him definitely!
Timo: For him or for you?
Luzi: Come on! If you promise something to a friend you have to do it! I mean, you would also think that it sucked if I talked about things you told me confidentially! Right?
Timo: Yes, of course! But I just have to ask myself why you and Ben suddenly are as thick as thieves!
Luzi: Ben and I, we are friends! Okay?
Timo: Friends, okay!
Luzi: I mean, we’re the best example that women and men can just be friends without having something going on!
Timo: Why?
Luzi: When you were together with Sophie we were still buddies!
Timo: Why do have to bring up Sophie agin?
Luzi: Sorry! I thought…I didn’t know that you’re still so sensitive about it!
Timo: I’m not! Sophie’s history and I don’t mind where, or with whom, she’s hanging around! Okay?
Luzi: You sure?
Timo: Yes, I’m sure, but that wasn’t the point! Don’t try to change it! It was about Ben!
Luzi: I thought we were through with that! Ben and I, we are friends, and I don’t know exactly what your problem is with that! Or does it mean I’m not allowed to have any friends besides you?
Timo: Yes, sure!
Luzi smiles and knocks him on the chin with her fist, thus causing him to smile back.
[Bea’s apartment]
Bea: on the phone Yes, I agree! I just told the truth! I have nothing to fear! Good. Thank you. So long!
to Michael Your lawyer friend is really great!
Michael: What did he say?
Bea: That I shouldn’t be intimidated by this Inspector Hinze
Michael: That’s better. That Hinze is a creep!
Bea: He’s just doing his job! Horst Fuhrmann thinks Hinze is just trying to make me contradict myself because he has nothing on me!
Michael: And he doesn’t consider the postcard as incriminating? I mean, isn’t it a proof that you were both in contact? Not that I would think so, but Hinze wants to suggest it!
Bea: Exactly! It’s just an assumption! Mr. Fuhrmann thinks this postcard might bring us one step closer to exonerating me! There’s finally a new clue as to where Jens might be located. I told you that I didn’t find anything about Jens on the web. That’s unusual!
Michael: Shouldn’t this postcard from Frankfurt should offer a new approach…?
Bea: Well, the police have to pursue it. There are flights to Australia, credit card bills, hotel bills, rental cars...
Michael: Yes, maybe they can track him down.
Bea: Yes! And then he has to explain to me why he said that he moved to Australia with Franziska!
Michael: Well….Well, and then…then it would be over!
Bea: Yes, and then we will take a vacation!
They go to kiss but the phone starts ringing.
Bea: (at the phone) Hello? Hello? Hello, who’s there?
Michael: (taking the phone) Hey asshole, take a break! He hangs up the phone and pulls her into a hug. So….and tomorrow we’re going to get a new number for you! Now where were we?
And they kiss…..
[Pestalozzi, schoolyard]
Timo walks up.
Hotte is reading a book “Be successful with women – The secret of Casanova”.
Hotte: (looking at the frustrated Timo) Is it Luzi?
Timo: Wow! You’re clairvoyant since your paranormal rigmarole?
Hotte: That’s wasn’t a rigmarole! The Séance worked! And one doesn’t have to be clairvoyant to see that there is something very wrong with you and Luzi!
Timo: It’s that obvious? Yes? I can tell you who that something is: Ben Bergmann!
Hotte: I have noticed that he and Luzi have been spending a lot of time with each other! But Ben has Caro, so what’s the problem?
Timo: Yes, exactly! He just got Caro pregnant, so now he doesn’t have to hit on Luzi!
Hotte: He’s not hitting on her! They are just friends!
Timo: Good God! That’s the same thing Luzi always says.
Hotte: And you don’t believe her?
Timo: I mean, they are whispering all the time and telling each other secrets! That sucks! And if I ask her about it, she acts like she doesn’t give a shit!
Hotte: Maybe you should be a little more direct! You have to fight for the heart of a woman!
Timo: Humm…the expert is talking…
Hotte: Yes, I know! I don’t have any luck with women! And that’s why I bought professional advice!
He holds up the book to show Timo..
Timo: laughing he takes the book “Success With Women!?!” but turns it over to read the blurb.
[Pestalozzi, Auditorium]
Jenny sings “Be Mine” (Robyn)
It's a good thing, tears never show in the pouring rain
Emma is walking through the hallways, absorbed in thought…
As if a good thing ever could make up for all the
pain
…and caught in a …flashback - and who won’t understand…
Emma: What the hell is your problem with me?!
And…the First kiss!
There'll be no last chance to promise I never mess
it up again
Jenny: That’s my problem with you!
Jenny runs off and Emma smiles so …hach!
Just a sweet pain of watching your back as you
walk
As I'm watching you walk away
Hotte: Jenny just kisses for fun! Crazy!
Emma: You think…it doesn’t mean anything to her?!
And now you're gone it's like an echo in my
head
Jenny: Emma. I have a crush. On you.
And Emma hears Jenny sing
…and finally reaches the glass-panels of the auditorium
And I remember every word you said
It's a cold thing you never know all the ways I
tried
It's a hard thing faking a smile when I feel like I'm falling apart inside
And now you're gone it's like an echo in my head
And I remember every word you said
Ben watching Caro.
And another flashback - less important ;)
Ben kissing Bea:
Ben: I don't love you anymore, and I don't want to see you ever again! So just get out of my life!!
And you never were, and you never will be
mine
No, you never were, and you never will be mine
For the first time, there is no mercy in your
eyes.
And the cold wind is hitting my face and you're gone
And you're walking away
Emma standing at the glass-panels, still listening
And I am helpless sometimes
Wishing's just no good
Cause you don't see me like I wish you would
Bea and Michael
Cause you never were, and you never will be
mine
No, you never were, and you never will be mine
Emma watching Jenny with this yearningly look, and …
…oh, I love the screenwriters for these mirrored scenes…just remembering Jenny watching Emma through the same panels a few episodes ago!
There's a moment to seize every time that we
meet
But you've always keep passing me by
But you never were, and you never will be mine
No, you never were, and you never will be
mine
There's a moment to seize every time that we meet
But you've always keep passing me by
But you never were, and you never will be mine
Jenny finishes playing and looks at the door, but Emma is gone.
[Bergmann villa / Beschenko Apartment]
Ben and Luzi are in their respective houses having a conversation over the phone.
Ben: on the phone Caro is in bed, chilling. It looks as if everything is healing quite well, wouldn’t you say?
Luzi: Don’t know, but if she isn’t having any pains, then I would say that’s a good sign for now. And you? How are you?
Ben: Don’t know….not really… I…..it really was much too early for a child, but…because Caro and I had just gotten together again.
Luzi: Tell the truth, did you just get back together with her with her because of the baby?
Ben: That was the case in the beginning…but never mind! The main thing is that we are together now.
Luzi: But you aren’t staying together because you feel bad about it, or?
Ben: Caro and I have a lot in common… I like her! And I want her to get well again!
Luzi: That sounds alright, but not for the real big love!
The door bell begins ringing, Luzi walks over and opens the door.
Ben: Well, real life is not like some trashy novel! All this shit with big emotions! Honestly…how many couples have that?
Timo comes in.
Luzi: Well I hope that most do! Other than that, why would anyone get married nowadays?
Ben: Because of the money?
Luzi: Boah, now you really sound like your father!
Ben: Very funny! I’m definitely not like my father, but in certain things he’s not all that wrong! Although I never would admit that to him! By the way, he’s rather angry that I threw the test! I think he greased Götting so that I would know earlier!
Luzi: You can’t be serious?
Ben: Yes, but cool down! At least I didn’t take advantage of it!
Luzi: And why not?
Ben: Cause I think it’s shit? What this Götting is pulling at the Lozzi, it just takes the cake!
Luzi: Since Krawczyk is gone….and Ms. Vogel, he has free rein!
Timo is getting more and more annoyed.
Ben: That doesn’t mean a thing to me!
Luzi: One second! I know that you’re crabby at the moment, but that’s exactly why you shouldn’t make overhasty decisions! Gosh Ben! Think about what you want!
Timo: finally fed up, Timo stands up and grabs the phone from Luzi Yes, I would also advise you to do that! Right away!
Luzi: Timo!!!! She stands up, annoyed.
Ben: Timo?
Timo: Yes?
Ben: Is that you?
Timo: I don’t know what problems you have, and honestly I’m not interested in them, but I’ll give you some good advice! If you try to play and put the moves on Luzi, then you can get ready for something!
Luzi: Say, are you mad?!?
Timo: As far as I’m concerned, you can screw anything with a heartbeat, okay, but not Luzi! Because she’s really important to me!
They hang up.
Ben: It’s about time that you realized what a stunner Luzi is!
[Beschenko Apartment]
Luzi: What was that supposed to be?
Timo: It was about time to show that bighead his limits!
Luzi: Aren’t you buddies?
Timo: Yes, that was before…
Luzi: Before what? Just go ahead, speak softly!
Luzi smiles…
Timo: If someone means something to you then… you don’t want to lose them!
She is still smiling…
Luzi: I mean something to you?
Timo: Yes damn, you know that!
Luzi: Well, not really!
Timo: Well, then you know it now! He sighs and moves closer to her. I’ve been in love with you for a long time! I was just too stupid to realize it! And now with Ben…I don’t want to lose you! I never want to lose you! Because…
And kiss!
[Sights around Cologne]
Some time later, Luzi and Timo are lying together in her bed.
Luzi: Say…
Timo: Mmh?
Luzi: With what you’ve just said…that you don’t want to lose me….does this mean…that we’re together?
Timo: I really babbled, right?
Luzi: Not at all! Humm…..that’s saying.… But that’s not why I asked….but….but it’s just because I still can’t believe this!
Timo: Does that mean that you want to? You really want to be together with me?
Luzi: For sure you complete idiot!
Timo: You’re so cute!
Luzi: Oh dear! I just know I will wake up, and it’ll morning and it’ll raining and it’ll grey and I’ll have just dreamt it all!
Timo: Well I can’t do anything about the weather, but maybe you’ll know that you didn’t dream if you wear this? (pulling a necklace out of his trouser pocket)
Luzi: Oh thanks!
They kiss.
[Bea’s apartment]
Michael and Bea cuddles….
Michael: If I don’t go now, you won’t get rid of me!
Bea: You don’t think that I’ll let you go now!
Michael: Well, really, after the SWAT Team did such a thing, I honestly didn’t expect that you want to be alone!
Bea: Even if they hadn’t been here I wouldn’t let you go now!
Michael: That’s why I’ll stay! I’d be very happy too! But….. I’ll just go get us something to eat, what do you think?
Bea: Mmh!
Michael: I’ll be right back!
Bea: Hurry up!
Michael: Sure!
Just after Michael leave the phone rings.
Bea: Hello? Hello? Now that’s enough! If you call one more time…
voice: Bea? It’s me!
Bea: Who “me”?
voice: Jens. Jens Mirbach.
Shocked look...
Bea: Jens?!?
Finish
