Sorry, there's a lot of action now for the boys, but I had guests tonight and I have to work tomorrow.

Take your time, we'll understand. We appreciate your time and effort you put into doing the translations.

[lindor]

Thank you very much! I know you all are very understanding

R: It’s a great area..
C: I’m going to destroy you for that, Ehrlinger!
R: But I’ll show you the west wing first, beautiful.
B: What do you wanna do? Dismiss him again?
T: He doesn’t need to. I don’t want to work for someone who doesn’t care about human life.
C: Calm down now, alright? I think I can’t help to report you.
B: It was you who provoked him. You of all people want to call the police? I can witness that you used every chance to provoke Tobias.
T: Let it be. I’ll be gone next month.

II
B: You can’t let yourself get provoked like this by him. You do know that this is his aim.
T: I know it was stupid to punch him.
B: And in the lobby on top. Now you’re rid of your job.
T: I wanted to start the education anyway soon.
B: Yeah, but we can work here together at least.
T: Man, your father abandoned us ice-coldly in the pampas. Although he knew we had to go to a mission.
B: Maybe he really didn’t notice?
T: You don’t believe this, are you? Then he stands in front of me with his whole ignorance and acts like human life wouldn’t mean anything.
B: Tobi, I know my father is an egomaniac and he wants to provoke us. But that’s exactly why you should have controlled yourself better earlier. Now he hates you even more.
T: He can. Not everyone can be as self-possessed as you.
B: Sometimes I’m not.
T: I have to work now. I still got a job. Do we meet up later?
B: If you’re still in the mood for a party.
T: Yes, sure. Now more than ever, right? See you later.



III
Al: You can’t just punch the chef. What were you thinking? Well, probably nothing.
T: I know there isn’t an apology for that, but he really asked for it.
Al: Yes, but it doesn’t work like this anyway. Or did you drink something?
T: Alcohol?
Al: Of course alcohol.
T: I never drink on duty, only apple spritzer.
Al: Whatever the consequences will be, you’ll have to live with it. I got to go. Mrs. Saalfeld.
T: It’s squeaking.
X: I see.
T: I’ll manage it.
X: I believe you. Whoever is capable to knock-out my ex-husband also overcomes a stubborn hinge.
T: You don’t have to fire me, I already did it myself.
X: I rather wanted to congratulate you. Finally, there is someone who doesn’t put up with everything concerning Christoph.
T: Thanks. Your son wasn’t that thrilled unfortunately.
X: Boris should be proud of you.
T: I did Mr. Saalfeld a favor. He only searched for a reason to kick me out. And like an idiot, I made it this easy for him.
X: All hasn’t been said and done. I’m also a share holder after all.
T: I have to continue. I want to go to a wedding-eve party later.
X: Of course.


IV
N: All the best for your wedding anniversary.
G: Thank you.
C: Is it blue?
N: Not yet. Ice?
C: No, thanks.
N: Nuts?
C: Funny. You rather want to punch me, too.
N: My weapon is always the gap and not the fist. I tell you, you should never let a fire be a fire.
C: Yes, yes. You’re also one of the good ones it seems. You should register for a honorary office, you might receive a medal. This nice helpful fuss all the time, this Ehrlinger, I’ve had it up to here.
N: You’re rid of him soon, that’s what you wanted to achieve, right?
C: You don’t know anything.
N: Don’t give me that, I got kicked out of my home when I was 16, just because I was pregnant.
C: Did I ask you about your life story?
Everything was alright between me and Boris until this faggot showed up here. And now?


V
T: Don’t tell a word to Romy and Paul about the dismissal, okay? It only downs the mood. Hey, you also need a better mood right now.
B: My father won’t just stand such a humiliation.
T: What shall he do? Punch me? I got a chin out of steel, huh?
B: Yeah, great.
Ti: Hey, you’re finally here.
B: Hey.
P: So, we made it.
B: Well, you really kicked off already.
R: Oh, that you helped with it like that.
B: It brings luck after all. In this spirit..
P: I already have my big luck. In fact it’s you.
V: That’s their song.
F: Well, a good DJ knows something like this.
V: Poser. We’ll perform the song on the wedding.
F: “All of me”?
V: You on the piano and me singing. What do you think?
F: That I have the most romantic girlfriend. How about a little brewery tour? Let’s go.
T: Anyway, we finally get rid of Boris’ ugly bowls like that.
B: Hey, they’re from my years of study, they were super modern that time.
T: Really? Oops. Ugly.
J: Sweep, sweep, sweep.
Here, eat it up. So. In the end, the two best pieces, because two bring twice the luck. Aaand.


VI
X : I won’t disturb you for so long, I only have to search for something quickly. Well, intolerance can badly hurt, right? Embarrassing, that you directly kissed the dust. Did everyone of the staff already heard about it?
C: Does it take long, what you’re doing there?
X: I just don’t want you to lose your authority in front of the personnel. Otherwise, they start fooling you soon. Just imagine, that someone caught it on camera and put it online. It scares our guests away after all.
1: Mr. Saalfeld?
C: Yes?
1: Someone handed this in for you.
C: So, done?
X: Yes.


VII
X : How do I recognize when the poison starts being effective? I have to make sure that he’ll be saved in time.
2: The symptoms of arsenic are clearly recognizable. If you follow my dosis..
X: Of course I do.
2: The poisoned one will break into a sweat after a couple minutes, shortly after that stomach cramps, perception disorders..
X: And I got enough time to call a doctor?
2: That’s right. It takes some time until he breaks down.
X: Perfect. Thanks. Boris, my darling. He won’t die. Your boyfriend will only suffer for a short time. So that I finally.. get your father.


VIII
2: Like I said, after the taking of arsenic, there is enough time for his rescue. You definitely shouldn’t lose his track.
X: Hello, Mr. Ehrlinger.
T: Hey.
X: How was the wedding-eve party?
T: Very nice. By the way, Tobias is enough.
X: My pleasure, Tobias.
T: Boris and I are really glad to always have you behind our backs.
X: I’ll do what I can for you.
T: Do you think it would be okay if I postpone my lunch a bit in the near future? My parents are doing a cruise right now and I have to take a look at the farm from time to time.
X: Of course.
T: Thanks.

IX
X : I left my pencil here somewhere yesterday. May I for a moment?
C: Peter, bring me quickly the signature file, okay? Thank you.
X: Oh, pardon me.
C: How did that happen?
X: I’m sorry, I..
C: All of the data I’m working with right now are on it.
X: I didn’t want to. It still works for sure.
C: It’s dead. Nothing is happening anymore.
X: Call Mr. Ehrlinger. He already helped me once with the computer.
C: He’s a company technician.
X: Yes, but he’s good at it.
T: Tobias Ehrlinger?
C: Yes, my ex-wife claims you know something about computers.
T: Depends on the case.
C: I need you in the office, now!
X: Now you’re glad he just leaves at the end of the month, huh? Got it by the way.
C: This can’t be true.


X
Al : Well, the eagles were seen in this area. If you want to go there..
C: This is the wrong file unfortunately. Be so kind and bring me the other one. Nothing happens with it.
T: Did you turn it off and on again?
C: I’m not of yesteryear.
T: Did it fall?
C: No.
T: I thought so. The lighting of the screen is damaged.
C: What about my data?
T: Should still be there. A new inverter and it’ll work again.
C: How long does it take?
T: I have to order it, so one or two days.
C: That’s no option, I have to work with it now.
T: Don’t you have a back-up file?
C: No.
T: Fine, I’ll get an external screen then, okay?
C: How long does it take?
T: I can get one from over there, it’ll be very quick.
C: So do it.
3: Here it is.
C: That’s very nice, thanks.

XI
B: Just do your call first. I’ll sort it out in a bit.
Al: Mr. Saalfeld?
B: Can I disturb you for a moment?
X: What?
B: I just talked to Mr. Magnus. He’s the sales manager at the MC-stores and a guest here.
X: So?
B: He’s interested in the Miss X line and would like to see the saloon.
X: Oh, that’s fantastic. He can stop by in the next few days.
B: May I introduce you? That’s Mrs. Saalfeld, my mother. That’s Mr. Magnus.
X: My pleasure.
4: Good afternoon, my pleasure.
X: Unfortunately, I have important appointments today, but I’ll show you the saloon tomorrow and will present you everything.
B: Mr. Magnus has to leave for the airport in an hour. And you seem to have time at the moment.
X: Well, yes. If it doesn’t take too long, gladly. Follow me, Mr. Magnus.
Al: Mr. Saalfeld, I need your signature, please. Thank you.


XII
C: Yes?
T: Yes, it took a bit longer, because I had to get the right cable, but you can continue your work now.
C: Good.
T: Shall I stay until you.. Well, thank you for the talk.

XIII
X: Mr. Sonnenbichler.
Al: Mrs. Saalfeld.
X: Something must be fixed and the saloon and I’m searching for Mr. Ehrlinger. He was in the office earlier. Do you know where he went?
Al: He has his break now. I think he’s already out of the hotel.
V: Hey, you’re not accidentally driving to Krauting, are you?
T: I do, to the farm of my parents. Here.
V: Thank you.
T: Am I crazy or did it become somehow very hot? I’m totally sweating.
V: It’s probably the leather jacket, but it looks cool.
You’re ringing.
T: Doesn’t matter, I’ll call back. You’re settled?
V: Yes.
T: Hold on then.
Tobias Ehrlinger? Ha, just the mailbox unfortunately. Leave me a message and I’ll call back. Bye.

[lindor]

I
X: Answer, dammit!
T: Tobias Ehrlinger? Ah, just the mailbox unfortunately.
Al: Excuse me, Mrs. Saalfeld. May I ask you how the promo tour is going on?
X: What? No.
Al: I mean, Hildegard has a lot of appointments there. She doesn’t have time to call me. How is it going?
X: Yes. No. Everything’s great, Mr. Sonnenbichler. Your wife is doing an excellent job.
Al: That’s.. nice.

II
B: Alright, i’ll give you 100€ for both.
1: For each one.
B: You want to sell the tickets twice as expensive as they were in the advance sale?
1: The concert is sold out.
B: But 200€ for two tickets, that’s..
1: Your decision.
B: Okay, wait. I’ll give you 120.
1: 150.
B: 130.
1: 150.
B: Well, 150 then. For God’s sake.
1: Thanks. Enjoy.
Ti: That’s a lot of money. Who is playing?
B: “The Breznsalzer”.
Ti: What?
B: Electropop with Bavarian texts. They’re totally hip and Tobi is a huge fan. He tried everywhere to get tickets, but the tour is sold out.
Ti: So you got them. That’s very sweet. Can someone take care of the chestnuts, please? Thank you.
It’s a shame he’s leaving soon.
B: Well, it was just a temporary job anyway. He wants to join the professional fire brigade. It’s better anyway when he and my father don’t run into each other every day. Someday, they’ll kill each other.
Ti: Could you slice it a bit thinner? And you’re caught between two stools.
B: Yes, but that’s over now. It means, it only can get better now.
Ti: Speaking of getting better, I got a new dessert. You must..
B: Can I help you?
2: Thanks.
B: I’ll start working in your kitchen now.
Ti: Yeah, it suits you. It’s mango pistachio mousse with essence of champagne.
B: Mh, sounds tempting.
Ti: Here.
B: It’s delicious.
Ti: Really?
B: Yes. As for me, you could directly put it on the menu.
Ti: I’ll do. Refill?


III
A: I sure get a damaged hip.
D: Oh, Annabelle.
A: Alright, you have to walk now.
D: We actually rolled down the hill, like in former times.
A: If someone had seen us, he would have thought we’re crazy.
D: But your header with the frisbee was phenomenal.
A: Yeah, I still got the moves.
D: Tell me, when was the last time we had so much fun?
A: In L.A. maybe?
D: I think we were still kids back then. We really have to repeat this.
A: Yes, totally. And who knows, maybe four of us sometime. Denise, I’m sure you’ll soon find the right one like me.
D: What was that?
A: Didn’t sound good.
D: Hopefully not an accident.
A: Come on.

IV
B: Mr. Sonnenbichler?
Al: Yes?
B: Have you maybe seen Mr. Ehrlinger?
Al: Yes, he’s on his break. He just left the hotel.
B: Alright, thanks.
Al: Sure.
X: Boris. I’m searching for Tobias because of a reparation, do you know where he is?
B: I’m searching for him myself right now.
X: I already tried to call him, but he would rather pick up if you call him.
V: Hello?
B: Hello? Who is this?
V: It’s me, Valentina.
B: But.. that’s Tobias’ number.
V: Tobias and I.. we drove with the motorbike. And suddenly..
A: Valentina. Valentina! How are you, is everything okay?
B: What happened and where is Tobias? Valentina, please talk to me. Hello? Valentina?
D: Hello?
B: Denise, is it you? What the hell happened? Where are you?
D: Boris..
B: Yes?
D: Valentina and Tobias had an accident. Annabelle, take care of her and call an ambulance.
A: Keep calm, Valentina. Everything’s going to be alright. I’ll call help.
B: What about Tobias?
D: Boris, I can see him. He’s lying here.
B: Does he move?
D: No.
B: Is he breathing, Denise? Is he still alive? Denise, tell me.
D: His pulse. I can feel it. Boris, he’s still breathing. The ambulance will soon arrive. I’ll call you later.


V
J: I do like him, but you can’t just knock down your chef. It’s clear that Tobias has to leave.
R: Basically, I agree with you. But it has its methods when it’s about Christoph. He can’t stand Mr. Ehrlinger and when he wants to get rid of someone, he knows how to do it.
J: Nevertheless, Tobias could have controlled himself.
R: That’s true, but Christoph knows how to make someone go crazy and one might blow a fuse sometimes.
B: Valentina and Tobias just had an accident with the motorbike.
J: What?
R: What?
J: How are they?
B: Valentina seems to be fine. I have no idea about Tobias. They just got into the hospital.
M: Valentina?
V: I’m fine, but.. Tobias.
M: Alright, what do we have?
3: Male casualty, unconscious, weak pulse and respiration, fracture left leg.
M: Mr. Ehrlinger, Mr. Ehrlinger, can you hear me? Tobias! Alright, straight to the O.R. Suspicion of heavy internal injuries.
V: Will he die?
M: Valentina. The colleagues take care of everything. Now we take care of you at first.


VI
A: Valentina was just lucky. She mostly was shocked.
D: Yes. But Tobias.. He still was unconscious and his leg..
A: Fortunately, we were nearby. So that he could at least get quickly into the hospital.
D: Let’s drive to the clinic.
A: What do you want there?
D: Supporting Boris. He must be devastated.
A: I don’t know. We don’t have the best relationship right now. I’ll only disturb him maybe.
D: Annabelle, that doesn’t play a role. The family just holds together in such a case. I’ll definitely go there.
A: Denise, just wait a moment.
D: You know where to find me.

E: That’s the mailbox of Eva Saalfeld, please talk after the beep.
B: When do you finally get to know something here? It can’t be true that it takes so long.
J: Someone will surely come in a bit.
B: Maybe someone ignored his right of way and absconded then.
R: Maybe your boyfriend just drove too fast.
B: Sorry?
R: How can you do something like this when you got a 17-year old girl sitting behind you on a motorbike? How, for God’s sake!
B: Tobias is responsible. He would have never put Valentina in jeopardy.
R: Yeah, but maybe he can barely control himself currently.
B: What?
R: Didn’t he knock down your father just a while ago?
B: How does this concern his manner of driving?
R: It doesn’t. But he might be stressed or frustrated and what are you doing then? Oh, you just accelerate! Regardless of the consequences!
J: Just calm down now! Both of you! It doesn’t make sense to accuse each other now. We don’t know at all how it happened.

X: What if the doctors won’t discover the poison? And he can’t be rescued in time? Boris, I didn’t want your boyfriend to be seriously in danger. You have to believe me. I’ll call the clinic. Anonymous. No, how will I be able to let Christoph be suspicious then? Damn. What will I do now, what will I do now, what will I do now..

VII
R: Oh god, you’re fine.
M: Careful, careful. She has painful contusions. The worst one is here on her wrist. It’s nothing serious, but she has to wear the splint for some time.
J: Everything else is alright?
M: As long as I can rate it, yes. But we’ll do some radiograms now to be sure, okay?
B: What about Tobias?
M: He’s in the O.R. right now.
B: And what does he have?
M: He has a broken leg and.. his general condition is very insecure. It indicates internal injuries unfortunately. It’s sadly often the case concerning those kind of accidents.
B: How bad is it?
M: You can’t tell at the moment. Okay, we’ll go, hm?
R: Hey, I’ll wait for you here, alright?
V: See you.
R: See you.
I’m sorry.

VIII
M: Valentina, it looks like your guardian angel made a really good job. Nothing is broken. Only a contusion. And all your organs aren’t injured.
R: You were very lucky, darling.
V: You wouldn’t say that if you knew how bad the contusions hurt.
R: Oh no. How did it even happen? Did Mr. Ehrlinger drive too fast?
V: No, he didn’t.
R: Sure?
V: Completely sure. He even said he would drive especially carefully so he won’t get into trouble with you.
R: But what was the problem then?
V: No idea. Everything was cool. And suddenly he drove very awkward.
R: Awkward?
V: Not totally straight anymore.
M: In wiggly lines?
V: The motorbike became more and more slowly. I asked him what’s up, but he didn’t answer. To talk with the helmets on isn’t easy indeed.
M: So he tried to pull over?
V: I think so. But we came off the road then and we overturned.
M: Sounds like he had an acute physical problem. Something affected him heavily. Yes, Niederbühl here. I need a blood count of Tobias Ehrlinger, please. Not the normal rapid test, but a big one and as soon as possible. Thank you.
R: Do you have a suspicion?
M: No, I have no idea. But we’ll find out.

IX
Al: Our thoughts are with you. Goodbye.
C: Have you seen my son? I would like to discuss a business matter with him.
Al: I just talked to him over the phone, he’s in the hospital.
C: What happened?
Al: Valentina Saalfeld and Tobias Ehrlinger had an accident with the motorbike.
C: How bad is it?
Al: Well, Valentina seems to got off lightly with only some contusions, but Tobias Ehrlinger is in the O.R. for some time now. Might be very serious. It doesn’t seem to directly concern you.
C: Should I be?

X
D: Would you like to eat something? I could get you something sweet from the cafeteria.
B: Why does it take so long? What are they doing with him?
D: Boris, your hands are ice-cold.
B: If you hadn’t found him so quick, then..
D: It was a total coincidence that we were nearby.
B: I wanted to surprise him with that.
D: You’ll go there. Maybe not this time. But to the next concert for sure. You do have to strongly believe it.

XI
B: It’s nice you’re here.
X: I met Denise downstairs, she’ll get us something small to eat.
B: I don’t think I can eat anything.
X: Do you already know what even happened?
B: Dr. Niederbühl says that Tobias drove in wiggly lines just before the accident. Maybe he got ill or something like this.
X: Did he got an upset stomach?
B: We ate the same yesterday evening.
X: So if it was a food poisoning, you would have it, too.
B: A circulatory collapse is also possible, but I mean, why?
X: Maybe he drank something polluted? Was there an accurate examination?
M: So, the operation is over. Thank God, no internal injuries. Tobias Ehrlinger should wake up in any moment.
B: Thank God. What about his leg?
M: You rather should ask the colleague who did the operation. We could see him shortly if you want to.
B: I’d like to.
X: Doctor, I heard Tobias felt sick and that’s why he lost control of the motorbike. What could it have been? I mean, he always was healthy.
M: Yes, that still causes me quite a headache, too. That’s why I ordered a big blood count.
X: And?
M: I don’t have the results yet. Please.

XII
B: Hey. Can you hear me?
T: Hey.
B: What are you doing?
T: Why?
B: You had an accident with the motorbike. Can you remember it?
T: Yes.
B: How do you feel now?
T: I feel sick.
B: It’s probably still because of the narcosis. You frightened me heavily. Don’t you ever do this again, okay?
T: I promise.
B: I love you.
T: I..love y..
B: Tobi. Tobi. Tobi. Hey, hello. No. No ! No, please don’t. Please don’t. Tobi, hey. Tobi! Please don’t. Noo!

[lindor]

I
B: Hello? I need help immediately! Help!

II
X: Everything’s going to be fine, Boris.
B: The way he twitched? Like he was struggling with his last strength.
X: He’s strong.
B: His heart stopped beating! Don’t you get it?
X: He’ll make it.
B: Tobias is dying. In there. At this moment.
1: Stable.
M: He’s back again. One moment. He’s all cold. Very wet. Something is entirely wrong.
B: What’s going on in there?
2: Not now.
B: What’s going on in there?
D: What happened?
M: I need DMPS, right now.
2: I got it.
M: Very good, very good. We might need more. Every minute counts. If not, every second.
B: I must go in there now.
D: No!
M: Get out, get out!
D: Boris, they’ll save him. Do you hear me? They’ll save him. They’ll save him.
X: He isn’t dead. Otherwise, they wouldn’t continue to fight for him anymore.
M: I’ll need more blood in a bit. Let the laboratory know. They must postpone everything else, suspicion of heavy intoxication. Now we can only hope that we gave him the antivenom in time.


III
Al: Excuse me.
J: Yeah.
Al: Hotel “Fürstenhof”, reception Sonnenbichler, what can I do for you?
H: Yes, hello. It’s me, farmer Huber, the neighbor of the Ehrlingers. Is Tobias around?
Al: No, I’m sorry. Mr. Ehrlinger isn’t here. Who am I talking to?
H: I just said it, the farmer Huber from Krauting.
Al: Ah, right. Mr. Huber. The neighbor of the Ehrlingers.
H: Exactly. One of their cows escaped and scrunched the fence.
Al: I see.
H: It has to be fixed now, who’ll do it then?
Al: Well, there’s no way Mr. Ehrlinger can fix it, he’s lying in the hospital.
H: In the hospital?
Al: Yes, an accident. I can’t say more about it for now.
H: A-a-and how..
Al: One moment, please, Mr. Huber.
J: I could also fix the fence.
Al: Yeah?
J: Sure.
Al: Ehrlingers are on vacation. And now some cows ran away and are at the neighbor’s. But he won’t be able to fix the fence.
J: No problem, I’ll do it. But tomorrow.
Al: Mr. Huber?
H: Yes?
Al: I got a young man here who could fix the fence, but only tomorrow.
H: No problem.
Al: If you could keep the cows..
H: Sure.
Al: Alright, I’ll pass you then. One moment, please.
J: Joshua Winter.
H: It’s me, the farmer Huber.
J: Yes, hello.
H: How will we do it the cows?
J: Pardon?

IV
B: He is stabilized.
X: Thank God.
B: But he isn’t out of the woods yet. Dr. Niederbühl somehow seemed worried.
X: What does it mean?
D: What does he have actually? You don’t get a cardiac arrest from a broken leg.
B: No idea, I didn’t get it either. Something went wrong.
D: Because of the anesthesia?
B: Dr. Niederbühl will do more examinations to sort it out. But he didn’t want to tell me his concrete suspicion.
X: They surely know what to do. A nurse got some ampules.
B: I’m just glad he’s still alive.
D: Me, too.
X: We all are.
B: You can really go now, I’ll be fine.
X: It would be better if someone stays with you.
B: Romy is coming.
D: Alright. If you need anything, you’ll give us a call. No matter when.
X: I can really stay, hm?
B: I think I would rather stay alone now.
D: We can’t do anything for him now anyway.
X: But if you get news, you’ll let us know, right? Good.

V
T: You really are so daft.
B: You, too.
I still got concert tickets. Do you listen?
R: Can I come in? Are there some news?
B: Dr. Niederbühl didn’t give the all-clear yet.
R: So he still doesn’t know what’s wrong with him. I couldn’t get in touch with his parents yet. They’re doing a cruise.
B: No matter what it is.. it’s perilous.
R: Hey, an Ehrlinger doesn’t die so fast. Grandpa always said that. Do you remember that? And besides, you promised me to be my best man. And when something is promised, it must be done.

VI
Me: Detective chief superintendent Meyser.
M: It’s Michael Niederbühl. I have to report a case of intoxication.
Me: I’m listening.
M: Tobias Ehrlinger, the company technician of the “Fürstenhof”, was hospitalized with a perilous dose of arsenic.
Me: Is he still alive?
M: Still, yes. Time will tell.
Me: Chronic or acute intoxication?
M: Um.. acute.
Me: Attempted suicide?
M: Um, no. I don’t consider that. I also don’t consider a mistake concerning such a high contamination level.
Me: I see. Who else is informed?
M: Only the staff of the clinic and.. no one else.
Me: Don’t talk to anyone about it, please. Neither to the environment of Mr. Ehrlinger. I’ll get in touch with you, okay?
M: Alright.
N: That’s so awful. Who would want to kill Ehrlinger?
M: Hist, darling. It’s only a suspicion by now.
N: I know it.
M: What?
N: Christoph Saalfeld. The way he talked about Ehrlinger in the bar yesterday..
M: Please.
N: I’m telling you. It was totally full of hate.
M: The police will take care of it, please! You just can hope they will find out soon who it was.
N: Right, hist.

VII
A: Hello.
C: There you are finally.
A: What is it about?
C: Be so kind and ask the kitchen tomorrow to arrange a gift basket and send it to the hospital, okay?
A: For whom?
C: Ehrlinger.
A: What?
C: With best wishes for a swift recovery. He’s still our employee till the end of the month.
A: Okay. Gift basket, chocolates, prosecco, pink bowy, something else?
C: No, no. You can especially shame those people who think badly of you.
A: Mh, and the other ones will think: Look, this man might have a good heart after all.
C: I see, we’re on the same page.
A: Look, instead of chocolates.. how about a package of playing cards?

VIII
B: You murdered Tobias.
X: It was a mistake.
B: You poisoned him.
X: That’s only how it was supposed to look like. Boris, I’m innocent.
A: That’s so cheap how you want to talk yourself out of it.
X: Annabelle!
D: Of course you’re a murderer, several times. You also killed Joshuas’ father.
X: Denise, no! It was self-defense.
C: And my unborn child? Was it also self-defense? You’re cold-blooded and ruthless. And you deserved your punishment. Guilty!
All: Guilty, guilty, guilty..
C: Drive to hell, Xenia.
X: Nooo!

IX
Me: Mr. Saalfeld, would you have a moment for me?
B: I actually wanted to go to my workplace now.
Me: I would have got a few questions concerning the accident yesterday of Valentina Saalfeld and Mr. Ehrlinger.
B: Fine.
Me: Please. Dr. Niederbühl said you were his closest confidante at the moment. And his cousin.
B: Yes, his parents are doing a cruise right now. Him and me, we’re..
Me: You’re a couple, I know that. A happy one?
B: Sorry?
Me: Are you a happy couple?
B: Yes, sure.
Me: No relationship problems lately? No fight then?
B: No. I only was a bit angry at him for a short while, because he quit his job.
Me: I see. When was that?
B: The day before yesterday. It wasn’t a real fight. Why do you want to know all this?
Me: I’m just picturing the situation. Thank you very much, Mr. Saalfeld, I’m already done. Come on, we’ll go to the cafeteria.

X
R: No, no news yet.
P: It can’t be true.
R: It seems like I’m in the wrong movie.
P: He’ll soon dance with his leg in plaster on our wedding, you’ll see. Shall I stop by later?
R: You don’t have to.
P: But if I want to? I could give you a kiss.
R: That would be worth it.
P: See you later then.
R: See you later.
Me: Ms. Ehrlinger. Don’t worry, just the police. We already know each other.

X: Hey, did he wake up?
B: I was with him the whole night.
X: He surely needs just a bit sleep and quiet. So do you by the way. You should rest a bit.
B: The only reason I’m here is the appointment with the tourist office.
C: It’s great that you attend to your duties anyway. Although some work is sometimes really helpful as distraction from bleary thoughts.
B: I haven’t finished yet. I actually wanted to ask if someone else of the management can take the appointment over.
X: I can do it.
B: Good. I’ll take a shower then and will go back to the hospital.
C: Did Mr. Ehrlinger liked my little something?
X: He’s still unconscious.
C: Well, no one informs me.
B: What are you even talking about?
C: Well, the gift basket, which.. it’s still there.
3: The courier hasn’t been here yet.
C: So.. to the internal mail. Here, for your boyfriend with best wishes for his recovery from the management. We all want your boyfriend to recover as soon as possible, right? Hey.
X: Such a shameless hypocrite.
B: Keep it if you want to. And cancel the courier.
X: Don’t let yourself get annoyed by your father. The most important thing now is that Tobias wakes up again.
B: Thank you.

Me: Did he have some enemies?
R: Had?
Me: I’m sorry, it’s the force of habit. He’s still alive. Does he have some enemies?
R: How.. No, why?
Me: Well, maybe some trouble in his relationship?
R: With Boris? On the contrary.
Me: Why are you so nervous?
R: I.. I just can’t understand the relation of all this to the accident. Tobias always drives carefully and he surely didn’t drink alcohol.
Me: We also already examined his blood in that matter of course.
R: Also, why?
Me: There were neither proofs for alcohol nor other drugs in Mr. Ehrlinger’s blood. But for poison.

XI
M: I’m sorry you had to wait. I had an emergency.
Me: Of course.
M: I guess it’s about – please sit down – Tobias Ehrlinger and the intoxication?
Me: Where you can’t consider a coincidence?
M: Did you find something that proves the contrary?
Me: Well, we did some research. Arsenic also appears in the ground. In seafood. Yes, even in the potable water. Why are you so sure that it was an intoxication?
M: Because Mr. Ehrlinger had a deadly dose in his blood and no person can eat so much seafood.
Me: Well, the case is solved then.
M: What is solved?
Me: From experience, that’s the thing about intoxications: Either it’s a mistake, a suicide attempt and you don’t consider both. Or it’s a crime of passion.
M: Mo- mo- mo. Do you want to indicate that Boris Saalfeld poisoned him?
Me: Wouldn’t you put it past the young man?
M: Well, Boris Saalfeld loves Tobias Ehrlinger. And he couldn’t hurt a fly.
Me: Love can quickly become hate. And he isn’t that innocent after all. Didn’t he take the money of Mrs. Stahl back then, when she was dead?
M: That’s absurd. Boris Saalfeld is worried sick about Tobias Ehrlinger. So..
Me: He could play a role. Could be the bad conscience, could be both. It’s a fact he wanted to keep quiet about a fight earlier. He only told it affecting the demand. And the young Ms. Ehrlinger became quite nervous when it was about the relationship between her cousin and Mr. Saalfeld.
M: Commissar, I think you’re getting on the wrong track..
Me: I already saw very many culprits who acted the same as the worried Boris Saalfeld.
M: Commissar.
Me: Doctor.

XII
B: An intoxication?
R: Maybe he ate something wrong.
B: We always ate together the last few days.
R: Mr. Meyser also asked me in a weird way.
B: Yes, same with me.
R: He’s from the C.I.D., right? They wouldn’t examine a normal traffic accident.
B: No..
R: If the C.I.D. investigates and Tobias has an intoxication.. Do you think it was an attempted murder? Boris..
B: Please stay with Tobias.

XIII
B: Did you dirty your hands yourself or did one of your henchmen do the dirty work for you?
C: I don’t what you’re driveling right now.
B: Don’t touch me with your dirty fingers!
C: Then tell me what the hell do you want?
B: Admit it, you want to kill Tobias!

[lindor]

3062
I
B: The police will find out what you’ve done.
C: I’m not involved at all in Ehtrlingers’ intoxication. Even if you might wish so.
B: Sure, I wish my own father would try to kill my boyfriend out of pure homophobia!
C: Because you’re afraid of the truth.
B: You’re the only one who would wish for Tobias’ death.
C: Or he played secretly, didn’t settle his debts and received a warning.
B: Tobias doesn’t play anymore.
Al: Mr. Saalfeld, at least you could be reasonable.

J: Thanks again for your help so spontaneous.
D: Hey, when do you get the chance to fix a fence?
J: When you’re on the country: more often than you could imagine.
D: I just don’t want Tobias to care about such things when he’ll be hopefully better again.
J: It’s brutal right now. And how is your brother?
D: Awful. They were so happy recently.
J: I’m sorry.
D: Never mind. Let’s talk about something else.

III
Ti: How’s Tobias by the way? Is there news?
R: He apparently was poisoned.
Ti: Poisoned? Are you sure?
R: That’s what the commissar said.
Ti: But from who? Who’s doing something like this?
P: The police hopefully tries to find out. Maybe it was an accident.
R: Now it’s important that he wakes up again. And that he’ll recover very fast.

IV
1: We all think of Tobias.
B: Thank you. Hello mum.
X: Did Tobias finally wake up? I can’t believe it, how is that possible?
B: He was poisoned, with arsenic.
X: What? Who would.. Christoph.
B: He’s denying it. But who else would hate Tobias so much that he would kill him?
X: Tobias knocking down your father broke the camel’s back.
B: I suppose.
X: We should have stopped your father. We should have put him behind bars for the blackmail of Joshua’s mother. Why did Denise destroy the proof?
B: What if Tobias dies?
X: No, Boris. Now the doctors know about the reason for his condition and will save him for sure. Don’t worry about it. Everything’s going to be fine.


V
2: Here you are.
C: Thank you.
Me: Mr. Saalfeld. We would like to talk with you. About your son Boris.
C: I guess it’s about Tobias Ehrlinger.
Me: How was the relationship between the two to each other?
C: You’re asking the wrong guy.
Me: But you knew they were in a relationship?
C: You couldn’t avoid that unfortunately.
Me: And how was your relationship to Tobias Ehrlinger?
C: Bad. Could we continue the talk somewhere else?
X: You hated him. Chased him into compulsive gambling, arranged that he had to resign. Of course it was you who poisoned him. Who else could have done it?
C: We better go into my office, we’re undisturbed there.
X: This man humiliated and provoked Tobias Ehrlinger again and again, until he defended himself out of pure desperation.
C: Xenia, please.
X: He hit you in front of all people. You couldn’t forgive him that. And that he’s gay and made Boris to finally come out.
Me: Interesting.
C: Only that the one half of that isn’t true and the other half is excessively exaggerated. Please.
Me: We’ll come to you later.
C: Ex-wives.

VI
B: Hey. It’s me. Romy’s still trying to get in touch with your parents. But don’t worry, she’ll catch them sometime. The colleagues are sending their regards. They hope you’ll be better soon. Please, can’t you just wake up again? But I do know that I love you. And I know that if you love me too. What a wonderful world this would be. Tobi? Darling. Hey.
T: What? Why?
B: Thank God.
T: What happened?
B: I’ll explain everything, alright? I have to call a doctor at first. Now, first of all: I love you. Nurse? Hello?

Me: Are you down on gays as a matter of principle?
C: What would you say if your son had an affair with the company technician?
Me: It’s not about me now.
C: My son and I had a very good relationship. That changed unfortunately because of Mr. Ehrlinger’s influence.
Me: What was this argument about your ex-wife mentioned earlier?
C: A mere nothing. Both of them had to go to a fire-fighting mission. I sadly didn’t have time to drive them. Full of anger, Tobias Ehrlinger then turned violent and resigned afterwards.
Me: I see, interesting.
C: I mean, come on. If I wanted to kill everyone who can’t stand me..
Me: Your ex-wife believes you could commit such a crime.
C: My ex-wife also haven’t forgiven me that I left her back then. Xenia is emotionally unstable. It stands in no relation to Tobias Ehrlinger.
Me: So what’s your theory?
C: Ehrlinger was addicted to gambling. Maybe it was someone from this milieu.

VII
Al: Do you already have a new appointment for the wedding?
P: No, not yet. We have to wait that Tobias isn’t comatose anymore.
R: Boris?
Al: The poor guy.
P: You’re telling me.
R: Oh, that’s wonderful. Yes, I’ll try to come as soon as possible. Thank you. Tobias is awake.
P: What?
R: Yes, Boris is with him. And he’s better again. May I, may I get free this afternoon? Please, I must go to the hospital.
Al: That’s not my decision.
R: Yeah, but if you put in a good word for me with your niece, it would be almost a deal. Thanks, you’re a darling.
P: Don’t worry, she always does it with me, too.
Al: I see.

T: Romy cancelled the wedding?
B: They’ll catch it up.
T: When?
B: As soon as you’re fit again.
T: And Valentina, is she fine?
B: Only a little injury on her hand and a few contusions, nothing serious.
T: Thank God.
I just can’t understand how it could happen.
B: What do you remember?
T: I was really hot. I became tired then and I.. I wanted to pull over, but.. What’s wrong with me? Am I sick? Is it something serious?
B: You were poisoned.

VIII
A: Good news. My blog post about the winter special made a huge impact.
C: Requests or bookings?
A: A number of bookings. And a request of a Swedish manager group just came in. I have to confirm that their special requests are alright.
C: Good work.
A: Tell me, why are the commissar and his weird assistant here?
C: Haven’t you heard it yet?
A: No, what is it?
C: Ehrlinger was poisoned before he had his accident.
A: You’re not serious. That’s scary.
C: And your mother and brother are convinced that I was the one doing it. And they spread it everywhere.
A: So, was it you?
C: Apparently, everyone here seems to think I could be a murderer.
A: Like you haven’t thought about it yet.
C: Annabelle, we’re talking about murder.
A: Yes. And, who was it then?
C: Any clues that the guy played again?
A: Not a single one.
C: It was Xenia then.
A: Why should she do this? She loves Boris and has no problem at all with his relationship with Tobias.
C: She wants to set me up for murder.
A: And instantly kills Tobias? You’re on the wrong track. So, the mail to the Swedish men is sent. I must go, I got an appointment in a bit. Dad, if it wasn’t you, no one could prove you wrong. See you later.
C: Schulz? It’s about Tobias Ehrlinger. I want you to keep me up-to-date about the investigation.

V: It was Andre after all? He fooled us all. Why?
E: That’s a wild story.
Me: Excuse me. May I talk to you for a moment?
E: Chief inspector, of course, what is it about?
Me: I especially got questions for you, Valentina. I can call you by your first-name, right?
V: Sure.
E: But when you talk with my daughter, I’ll stay here of course.
Me: That’s understood. It’s about Tobias Ehrlinger.
E: Since when do you care about traffic violence?
Me: I see you’re not up-to-date.
E: And if I were?
Me: Part of the investigation. Valentina, please me tell exactly what happened before the accident.
V: I already was too late. I actually wanted to got to a musical practice for the wedding. So I asked Tobias if he could me take me with him on the motorbike.
Me: How well do you know Mr. Ehrlinger?
V: He’s working here. We talk here and then. Nothing more.
E: Why do you want to know that?
Me: Part of the investigation. Did you notice something about him? Was he weird or..did he talk in a weird way?
V: None of this, but.. he drove weirdly right before the accident. Somehow wiggly lines.
Me: Something else? I mean, everything that comes up your mind could be important.
V: Well, he was really hot and he drank out of his drinking bottle before we started driving.
Me: I see. How did it look like?
V: There are little dinosaurs on it. He always got it with him actually.
Me: Where did he put it then?
V: I don’t know, I’m sorry.
E: Could you please explain it to us now?
Me: One moment, please. Meyser? Is he still in intensive care? Good, great. Let’s say in 30 minutes. And thanks for calling. Tobias Ehrlinger is fit to be questioned.
As: Very good.
V: He woke up?
Me: Yes, he’s been transferred into a normal sickroom. I have to move on unfortunately. Valentina, you really helped us a lot. Mrs. Saalfeld.
E: But what..?
Me: It’s part of the investigation.
V: Mum, can I go to the hospital, could you drive me, please?
E: Darling, you heard it: He just woke up. Give him a bit time. Tomorrow, okay?

T: Your father? I don’t think so.
B: Who else? Are you in debt to someone?
T: What do you mean? Do you think I played again and got into debt?
B: Or an old bill..
T: Neither the one nor the other.
B: Okay.
T: What, okay? Do you believe me or not?
B: I believe you. But it would mean.. my father is really the only one left.

R: If Meyser investigates, the rumours are true then.
E: What for rumours?
R: The doctors say that Ehrlinger has been poisoned. And Alfons heard how Boris accused his father. Only hearsay, well, yes. If it’s true.. But you wouldn’t put it past him.
E: You mean Christoph Saalfeld wanted to kill him?
R: It was pure luck that Ehrlinger got the antivenom just in time. What? Hey. What’s wrong, did you really forget all the things Christoph did?
E: No, but..
R: Do you think, because he gave back his shares and donated this amount as alibi, that he became a good person now? Did you forget that he kept the heart medicine from Werner? Or that he nearly shot his own son Viktor? Or that he treated our daughter’s life in a ruthless way?
E: I know all of this, Robert. But we have to await the investigations. We can’t prejudge someone just because we want to get rid of him. Coming.

IX
T: You shouldn’t have cancelled the wedding because of me.
R: Marrying without you is out of the question. You must be there and catch the bouquet. Have you already talked to your parents?
T: Yes, I told them it was only a harmless accident and they shouldn’t stop their vacation.
R: It’s somehow scary.
T: Yeah. I still can’t believe it. Why should someone want to kill me?
R: Boris is convinced that only his father could have done it.
T: And what do you think?
R: I don’t know what I should think.
T: Well, assuming that someone wants to actually kill me. How did he give me the poison? He should have put it into my meal so I won’t recognize.
R: Are you afraid?
T: What if the one will try it again? Come in.
Me: C.I.D., Meyser. Mr. Ehrlinger?
T: Well, yes.
Me: We would like to talk to you.
T: Sure.
R: Good afternoon.
Me: Hello. Forgive us if we’re disturbing now, but would you be so kind and leave us alone with Mr. Ehrlinger?
R: Yeah, of course. Bye, see you later.
T: Bye. Could you find something out so far?

X
Me: Don’t worry, you’re safe here. The hospital is under video surveillance. Besides, we informed the whole station and briefed them intensively.
T: Okay.
Me: Fine, let’s talk about the possible suspects again. How is your relationship to Boris Saalfeld?
T: Great, he’s my boyfriend. Why?
Me: Well, sometimes you only think that everything’s alright.
T: I know what you’re getting at, but you can forget it. We’re very happy together.
Me: What else?
T: Everyone asks me this. I.. I’m thinking about it the whole time, but no one’s coming to my mind.
Me: We heard you were addicted to gambling.
T: Yes, but that’s over.
Me: Something like this can pursue you for years.
T: It’s all settled.
Me: Good. So, what exactly did you ingest where and when this day?
T: I had breakfast with Boris. We had the same cereals.
Me: And what about drinks?
T: I got my drinking bottle which I always refill during work.
Me: Mh, dinosaurs.
T: Well, yes.
Me: Valentina Saalfeld remembered you drank out of it before you started driving.
T: That’s possible.
Me: Where did you put the bottle afterwards?
T: In my bag, I guess.
Me: Please check if this bottle was noted down in the inventory of the securing of evidence.
As: I will.
T: Do you think my apple spritzer got poisoned?
Me: Well, you had to ingest the arsenic somehow. So?
As: Negative.
Me: Well, we have to search this bottle then.

XI
C: This passage here is a bit dry, but quite pretty apart from that. You can put it on the homepage like this.
A: Thank you.
C: And? Wait a moment. A drinking bottle? How does it look like? Thank you, Schulz, good work. The police is searching for a drinking bottle. Mr. Ehrlinger was poisoned with its substance apparently.
A: And now?
C: We have to find the bottle before the police does. If Xenia wants to set me up for the murder, she guaranteed took care that my fingerprints are on the bottle.
A: How could she have managed that?
C: I’ll explain it on the way, come on.
A: On the way? Whereto?
C: Well, to the place of accident. They’ll start searching there.
A: I shall come with you?
C: You know the exact place. What’s up, you still don’t believe me?

XII
C: Here, are you sure?
A: Of course I’m sure.
C: No signs of an accident.
A: It wasn’t a multiple crash.
C: Here, skid marks.. Where did he lie?
A: Around there.
C: Nothing.
A: Maybe the bottle rolled on the street and a car came and kicked it off?
C: Yes, could be. So we’ll search there again.
A: Did Schulz say when exactly the cops will show up?
C: They could be here any moment. So hurry up, please.

XIII
A: It’s just dirt and soil, but no bottle.
C: Come on, continue searching now.
A: Maybe we should get back to “Fürstenhof” and look where they started. Or in his locker, what do I know. They’re coming.
C: We’ll beat loose. Come on, quickly.
A: The bottle. Run, I’ll manage it. Just do it.
Me: Ms. Sullivan, hello. What are you doing here? And what do you got there?

[lindor]

3063
I
A: What’s the matter?
Me: Could I take a look at this bottle, please?
A: Oh, this one. You know, I have never rendered first aid before. I must come to terms with it. Well, so I got back to the place of accident. Sort of exposure therapy. I found this in the copse then. You can barely overlook this ugly thing.
Me: Give me this bottle now, please.
A: Yes, of course. Ops, oh sorry. Let me get that for you.
Me: What are you doing? Are you crazy? You’re wiping out all the fingerprints.
A: What? What for fingerprints?
Me: You seem to be aware of it obviously.
A: Excuse me, the bottle fell into the dirt, so I wiped it off, that’s what you automatically do, it’s only a natural reflex.

II
C: Oh, dammit. Where have you been?
A: I couldn’t come more quickly.
C: What have you done with the bottle?
A: It’s with commissar Meyser. But he won’t find a single fingerprint on it. Because unfortunately, it fell into the dirt and I had to well clean it at first.
C: You saved me.
A: If Xenia really put your fingerprints on it.
C: You can bet on it.
A: Do you really think she’s so insidious and cunning?
C: If your mother wants to destroy me, you can’t put anything past her.


III
A: Xenia!
X: Annabelle. Have you already heard it?
A: That Tobias has been poisoned?
X: Awful, right? I’m asking myself, how can someone do this to another person?
A: The right question would be.. who?
X: Annabelle.. I know how close you and your father are, so this won’t be easy for you, but.. Boris thinks that Christoph is responsible for the intoxication.
A: Really?
X: Yes, but it’s the task of the police to find out of course.
A: I was at the place of accident today.
X: Really? Why?
A: The story with Tobias didn’t lay me to rest somehow. And then I found something interesting.
X: And what?
A: The bottle of Tobias. Commissar Meyser said that the poison could have been in there.
X: Well, maybe the culprit left some evidence on it and the police can catch him. What’s wrong?
A: I had an itsy-bitsy accident.
X: What?
A: The bottle fell down and.. this reflex came.
X: Reflex?
A: I wiped the bottle off before I gave it to commissar Meyser. So, if there had been any evidence or marks on it.. they would be gone now.
X: You did it on purpose to cover up for your father.
A: You seem to be sure that dad’s marks are on it.
X: Like one of many people of the “Fürstenhof”, I can imagine that your father was part of it. We all know how much he hated Tobias Ehrlinger.
A: I’m surprised that you’re so concerned.
X: It just affects me that my son’s boyfriend almost died, Annabelle.
A: It affects us all.
X: Of course. Excuse me.

IV
D: Arsenic? That’s crazy.
B: Dad will pay for that. I’ll take care of him to be held accountable.
D: I have to hang up.
B: Did he come in?
D: Yes.
B: Alright. Bye, Denise.
D: Good night, Boris.
C: Have you already eaten something?
D: Yes.
C: Boris thinks it was me. Huh?
D: And? Is there any truth to it?
C: It suggests itself to suspect me. Denise I want you to know one thing: The fear back then to lose Alicia, it was indescribable. She was the focus of my life and I was absolutely determined to fight for her. I was frantic. I used means that were extreme, brutal. The loss.. Viktor’s betrayal.. But it was an exceptional situation. Something like this will never repeat again.
D: And your anger? At Boris and Tobias?
C: Do I think this relationship is a mistake? Yes. Am I unhappy about my son being gay? Yes. But I wouldn’t kill anyone because of this.
D: Dad, Boris is convinced that you’re the only one who got a motive.
C: It’s not my task to find the guilty one. But I swear to you: I got nothing to do with it.

B: Annabelle.
Me: At least we know now that you got the arsenic through this bottle. The laboratory found a rest of it in there.
T: And there are no fingerprints at all? They’re all gone?
Me: Except the ones of Annabelle Sullivan. How’s your relation to your boyfriend’s sister? Could she have a motive? I mean, did you have some misunderstandings lately?
T: You could say that.
B: She tried to end our relationship. On behalf of my father.
Me: What exactly did she do?
T: Christoph Saalfeld found out that I was addicted to gambling. And she tried to seduce me to play poker again.
Me: Did it work?
T: It did in the beginning. But it’s over.
Me: Could Christoph Saalfeld have had the chance to reach your bottle that day?
T: He called me into his office to fix his laptop.
Me: And you had your drinking bottle with you?
T: Yes.
Me: Could he have tampered with it unnoticed?
T: Only when I got the external monitor, my bag was in the bureau all the time.
B: It all makes sense. He traps him into his office to poison his apple spritzer and afterwards he orders Annabelle to destroy the evidence. What are you waiting for?

D: Hey.
A: Hello.
D: Isn’t it awful about Tobias? Boris is convinced that dad wanted to poison him.
A: It wasn’t him. But I know who it was.
D: Really? But who?
A: It might sound crazy now, but.. I’m sure it was our mother who poisoned him to set dad up for murder.
D: Oh, Annabelle.
A: Just wait a moment. I found the drinking bottle of Tobias today. The arsenic was likely in it.
D: Okay.. and did the police find out how it got there?
A: The bottle fell and I wiped it clean stupidly.
D: You’re not serious.
A: I could slap myself for it. When I told Xenia about it, she totally freaked out. She said I did it on purpose to cover dad’s attempt of murder. But why would she know that dad’s fingerprints were on it?
D: You mean, she only could know if she placed them there by herself.
A: Right.
D: Or she only hoped that dad’s fingerprints are on it.
A: It wasn’t disappointment. It was pure anger. Denise, I saw how desperate our mother was, because her plan didn’t work out.
D: I know she hates him. But do you think she would go this far?
A: But you wouldn’t put it past dad?
D: No. He swore me that it wasn’t him. And I believe him.
A: Who else except Xenia could have done it?
D: Maybe it was a mix-up.
A: Denise, we don’t always agree. But do you really want an innocent dad to go to prison?
D: Isn’t it terrible that we have to discuss this at all?


V
B: It’s nice you’re here.
X: How is he?
B: A lot better already.
X: I can’t tell you how relieved I am that nothing serious happened.
B: But the culprit still is out there running around.
X: I talked to Annabelle. She wiped off the fingerprints on the bottle – congratulations. She helped your father a lot with this. But the police will find him guilty for sure.
B: The only question is how. Without evidence. Shall we go to Tobi?
X: I’ll get a vase first. Just go on.
Boris, my darling, he won’t die. He’s just going to suffer a bit. So that I finally.. get your father.

VI
C: You would have really killed Ehrlinger just to frame me for something?
X: Are you in a bad mood? Did one of your hotels collapse again?
C: You want to frame me for murder!
X: Christoph, I really start to worry about you.
C: When it comes out that you’re able to kill someone to bring me into prison..
X: Which won’t happen, because I’m not involved in this.
C: ..you’ll lose everything. You have always been the poor victim of the evil Christoph until now. But if our children find out how you really are, you’ll be alone.
X: You aren’t in the prison yet, because Annabelle destroyed evidence.
C: Which you manipulated.
X: But the police isn’t stupid. They know the meaning of Annabelle’s action and they’ll continue searching until they’ll find you guilty.
C: I didn’t do anything to Ehrlinger.
X: Of course you didn’t. And everyone in the “Fürstenhof” knows that you’re such a tolerant and dovelike person.
C: Stop spreading your goddamn lies about me!
X: Or what?
R: Hey!
X: I’m curious about it.
R: Do you need help?
C: She’s the last person that needs help.
VII
T: What’s that supposed to be?
R: I guess it’s porridge.
T: Porrigde? Man, I’m starving and I only get a bland diet.
R: It’s only for the beginning. You’ll soon get something real to eat for sure.
T: I hope so.
R: What’s the matter with your leg now?
T: Well, it’s healing. But somehow.. I don’t really feel it.
R: That’s not good. What do the doctors say?
T: A nerve is squished in my back. It just takes a few days to recover, I think.
R: So nothing you should worry about?
T: Nah. I’m so sorry that the wedding was rained off because of me.
R: So, first of all, it isn’t your fault and secondly, it’s only postponed. Besides..
T: What?
R: Nothing.
T: What have you done?
R: We didn’t want to wait. We married yesterday in a symbolic way. With rings and marriage vows.
T: Romy Ehrlinger, so you did it after all?
R: Yes.
T: You actually.. married another man. Even though you pledged me eternal loyalty as a kid.
R: Yes, but Paul just had the prettier rings than you back then.
T: And when does the honeymoon start?
R: Paul will fly to Barcelona on his own to participate at the triathlon.
T: And you’ll stay here – because of me.
R: Also. A bit. I wouldn’t have fun while you’re lying here in the hospital.
T: I’m fine. And besides, I got Boris.
R: What about your parents’ farm?
T: The neighbours take care of it. And if the worst comes to the worst.. Boris will help.
R: Boris?
T: Yes, he’s more of a nature-boy as you think. Fly, please. I want you to have a good time in Barcelona. The only thing I want to see from both of you in the next weeks is a nice old-fashioned postcard. Alright? Very good. Tastes awful, right?

X: If you hadn’t been there, Christoph surely would have turned violent.
R: This guy is really unpredictable. I hope the police will find something if he actually did that to Tobias Ehrlinger.
X: I.. I must admit something. Please. I don’t only think that Christoph is the culprit. I even know it.
R: What?
X: I saw how he did it.
R: Pardon?

VIII
R: If you actually noticed that Christoph dropped something into this bottle, why haven’t you directly told it to the police?
X: Because I wasn’t even sure until yesterday evening what I actually saw. I witnessed by chance through the door gap that Christoph dropped something into a drinking bottle.
R: And you didn’t think it was a bit weird?
X: Yeah, but only after I heard of the drinking bottle, it dawned on me.
R: You must make a statement immediately. Christoph has to go to prison. Who knows what else he’s capable of?
X: I can’t.
R: I get that you’re afraid. But the police will find a way to protect you from him.
X: No one would believe me.
R: Why not?
X: It’s not a secret how much I detest my ex-husband. You would just think it’s a lie to seek revenge on him.
R: And that’s why you want to withhold evidence?
X: If the police has the suspicion that I only make it up out of thin air, they’ll never bring Christoph to justice.
R: You must try it after all. You must try it after all, it’s your goddamn obligation.
X: I can only trust that the police will find Christoph guilty even without my statement.

IX
X: Hello. I hope you understand a little why I won’t make an statement.
R: You’re responsible that Christoph gets away with it.
X: It would look like I incriminate him on purpose. He could use that to stage him as the victim.
R: Oh, and that’s why you keep quiet about what you saw? What if he tries it again?
X: Maybe someone else did witness it, too. Another witness who just isn’t brave enough.
R: But who? Did you see someone else?
X: No, but someone uninvolved would be just better.
R: Right.
X. What.. if you would make a statement? It would be Christoph’s end.

[lindor]

I
X: If you told the police you saw Christoph..
R: Are you stark raving mad now?
X: It’s our only possibility to stop this man.
R: The whole world knows that your ex-husband and I dislike each other. Strictly speaking, you could interpret it as an act of revenge.
X: But you aren’t his ex-wife. There are just too many people who know that I would like to see him in prison rather today than tomorrow. Especially after the thing with the hotel in Bangkok, it would just look like another intrigue of me.
R: Forget it. I won’t take the risk to incur a penalty with a false statement.
X: In principle, the statement isn’t a lie. No one will be able to prove that it wasn’t you who saw Christoph. Shall he get away with it again?
R: No.
X: What if next time a family member of yours is hurt? Just think about how Christoph would have let your father die without batting an eye, because he didn’t want to give him his heart medicine. Or how he played with Valentina’s life just out of pure greed.
R: Stop it.
X: You know Christoph doesn’t have any scruples. And if he gets away with it now, no one will be safe from him anymore.
R: If I lied to bring him into prison, I would be just as evil like he is.
X: You’re not supposed to win a moral competition. It’s about to stop a dangerous violent criminal. It’s up to you now.
R: I’m sorry, I won’t. There has to be another way.
X: If one’s coming to your mind, let me know.

II
D: And as we were finished with your fence, Joshua also showed me how to drive your tractor.
T: It’s fun, right?
D: Yes, I love it.
B: Hopefully your farm still stands.
D: So, no worries. Before I could really accelerate, we sadly ran out of fuel. But we filled it up again.
T: I’m so grateful you’re helping. I’ll invite you to “Bräustüberl” for that, alright?
D: You, my dear, will get healthy at first.
T: Yes, I will.
D: How’s the investigation going? Does the police got news?
B: Obviously not. The culprit wouldn’t be on the loose otherwise.
D: So you still believe it was dad.
B: Who else? He’s the only one with a motive.
D: I know he gave you a hard time, but he would never go this far and poison Tobias. I just can’t imagine. Is there someone you had trouble with? Or does someone want to harm you?
B: Denise, finally wake up! Our father is a ruthless criminal.
D: Yes, he might isn’t prudish concerning his business. But he wouldn’t commit a murder, because he can’t stand Tobias. It’s just not like him.
B: Tell me, what else has to happen that you stop to come to his defense?
D: Boris, there isn’t a single proof for it. And I definitely won’t prejudge dad.
B: Fine, you better go then.
D: Get well soon.
T: Thank you. Don’t you think you were a bit harsh to your sister?
B: Someone has to finally open Denise’ eyes.

III
T: Yes, but you have to understand your sister. I mean, she got to know your father in a very different way than you after all.
B: Yes, message received. I shouldn’t have kicked her out.
T: Besides, she’s your favorite sister.
B: I’ll talk in peace with her later. Happy?
T: Yeah.
B: Oh.. did it hurt?
T: I didn’t notice anything.
B: That you’re still not feeling anything..
T: Well, the nerves need a bit to recover. I just hope the fracture heals quickly.
B: I once broke my arm as a kid. I ran around with a cast for six weeks.
T: But the fire fighter training course will start in three weeks. How will it look like if I drop out in the beginning already? Maybe I’ll lose my position.
B: You don’t just play hooky, you had a heavy accident. Just call them. Crap.
T: You got a mission?
B: Yeah.
T: I want to come with you.
B: Hey, you’ll be with us soon, okay?
T: Give the boys my regards.
B: I will.
T: And, Boris? It’s enough one of is lying in the hospital, take care of you, okay?
B: I promise.

IV
M: Mr. Ehrlinger. So, your blood count looks very good. You recover surprisingly fast.
T: You know, the Ehrlingers are tough.
M: And also the fracture is healing very well like you see on this picture.
T: Does it mean I soon can leave?
M: Why, are you in a hurry?
T: Well, my training to become a professional fire fighter is starting in three weeks.
M: I doubt that you’ll be able to walk until then. Are you in pain?
T: Not at all. Boris leaned on my leg earlier and I even didn’t notice.
M: You didn’t notice anything. Good. So, we’ll do a little test, hm? Do you feel that? And that?
T: Nothing. Is it a bad sign?
M: It only means that your nerves couldn’t regenerate yet because of the contusion. It might take some more time until you can feel something. We should do an MRT after all.
T: Okay.
M: Yes? I’ll order everything and the nurse will pick you up here, alright?
T: Yes. If it takes more time after all, would you think that four weeks are realistic?
M: Mr. Ehrlinger, I won’t be nailed down to this.
T: What a pity.

V
Ti: Hey. Did you have a mission?
B: Yeah. Some people are just too stupid. Someone let his stockpot stay on the going hot plate. It smoldered like hell of course. We marched out only for this.
Ti: Well, most of the accidents happen in the household.
B: Yes, but no one was hurt thankfully.
Ti: And now you’re cooking for the whole crew?
B: Tobias hates the bland diet in the hospital. So I wanted to surprise him with some rissoles.
Ti: From this whole minced meat?
B: I also invited some colleagues from the fire department. They’re always starving.
Ti: How’s Tobias?
B: He’s already all fit and bored. He wished to be part of the mission despite his broken leg.
Ti: Do you plan to spice the minced meat, or..?
B: I thought it would be alright with a bit of ketchup.
Ti: Salt, pepper, marjoram. Hey, I’ll just help you a bit.
B: Are you even in the mood after standing in the kitchen the whole day?
Ti: I would always make an exception for you and Tobias. Besides, it distracts me from all the nonsense Mr. Konopka is doing right now. You won’t guess what he did today.
B: Did he try to act like the chef again?
Ti: No, he took off his clothes and danced through the “Fürstenhof” half naked.
B: You’re fooling me.
Ti: No, I have the feeling this man got serious mental issues.
B: Okay, it really sounds crazy, even for Mr. Konopka.
Ti: He also claims that he didn’t have to go to prison, because he worked as special agent for SDL.
B: Well, the prison sentence was actually released from him, so it could be true.
Ti: Boris?
B: Hm?
Ti: Apropos stove..
B: Oh, hot. Well, some people are just too stupid.

VI
R: We must talk again.
X: Please.
R: Are you absolutely sure that Christoph put the poison in Tobias Ehrlinger’s bottle?
X: Of course. I saw it with my own eyes. Christoph dropped something in this drinking bottle.
R: And that it was the bottle of our company technician?
X: Yes, that’s beyond question. I wondered about the dinosaur motive and only understood what it’s all about when the police searched for it. I already told you everything.
R: But you didn’t tell me how you could exactly recognize that it was Christoph or how he did it.
X: I worked in the lobby, in the lounge next to the bar. And because the door was open a crack.. You still don’t believe me. Yes, I know, I also lied when I said that I got a black eye from Christoph back then. You think about that, right?
R: Are you surprised?
X: And no one will believe me anymore because of this one foolishness. That’s why I came to you. You know exactly like I do what Christoph is capable of.
R: Yes, well, but..
X: Besides, you did notice yourself how Christoph threatened Tobias Ehrlinger when he knocked him down. I saw the anger in Christoph’s eyes. Deep down you know I’m telling the truth. Please. You must believe me. I’m not lying. I swear it to you. On the lives of my children.

D: I understand the thing with Tobias affects you.
B: But I shouldn’t have faced you like this anyway. I’m sorry. Really.
D: It’s okay. But we have to finally stop to always argue because of dad.
B: You’re absolutely right, little sister.
D: Are you with Tobias?
B: Yes, I’m just walking in.
D: Okay, give him my best regards.
B: I will. See you. Hey.
T: Hey.
B: Kind regards from Denise.
T: Thank you. Did you make up again?
B: Like you assigned me to do.
T: I also did what you assigned me to do by the way. I called the trainer and told him about the accident.
B: And?
T: It’s okay when I start later. He keeps me the position free.
B: Hey, these are great news.
T: Yes. I only have to catch up everything I missed.
B: I’ll help you with that.
T: I thought by the way and.. We could move together to Rosenheim when I start my training. Or would the way to work be too long for you?
B: Well, I don’t think I want to stay at the “Fürstenhof” for a long time. After everything that happened..
T: So we’ll also search for a new job for you. I’m smelling rissoles here.
B: Fried with love.
T: Oh, man. You’re awesome. Okay, this will last for the next two weeks I guess.
B: I doubt that. I’ll show you why. Ta-da!
T: Thank you, hey. Let’s get to the rissoles, right?

VII
Me: Would you please tell me where I can find Christoph Saalfeld?
Al: He’s got an appointment in the bank right now, but he could be back any moment. Can I take a message?
Me: If you see him, please tell him that he should get in touch with me immediately. Excuse me. Mommy? I told you so many times you shouldn’t call me on my duty phone. I hope it’s something important. What, you don’t know anymore how to type in the at symbol? Okay, so you have to keep pushing the at symbol. In addition, you need to push another key at the same time. It says AltGr. Yes, right. Did you find the key? Yes, mommy, it also exists on your computer. Please ask Helga for help. I don’t have time now. I have to do an arrest in a bit. Yes. I’ll call you after that in any case. Yes. I promise.

1: Wow, I’m so full. Come back soon.
T: I will.
2: Get well soon.
T: Bye, it’s nice you were here.
3: Take care.
- Bye. Bye. Bye –
T: Well.
B: Oh man, I feared so.
T: They were indeed delicious. Maybe you should start as a cook in Rosenheim.
B: It would be best to be your house husband, hm?
T: That’s some great idea. And you’ll make dinner every evening and you’ll be there when I come home from a mission.
B: That would suit you. But I must disappoint you unfortunately. Tina helped me with the rissoles.
T: Cheater! Alright, we’ll search something else for you then. We’ll sure find something which suits you. I mean, with your abilities..
B: Let’s see.
T: I can’t wait for my training to begin.
B: Yes, but you’ll get healthy at first. And then you can gladly save kitties from trees again.
T: Kitty kitty kitty..

VIII
A: Why don’t you answer, dammit. I thought you got an appointment at the bank.
C: I always say that to not be disturbed while jogging because of any little penny. What’s wrong?
A: Commissar Meyser is searching for you. I got to know by chance he wants to arrest you.
C: Because of Ehrlinger’s intoxication, huh?
A: Why else?
C: I see.
A: He’s waiting in the lobby. You must get lost immediately. It would be best if you took my car, it’s fully fueled. And I’ll take care of Meyser. You’ll reach Switzerland with that. Drive to St Gallen at first and hide in our mountain shelter.
C: Annabelle, it’s kind of you to worry about me. But just calm down now, please. I’m innocent. Like hell I will leave. It would look like a confession of guilt.
A: Do you rather want to go to prison?
C: I’m hundred per cent sure that the police doesn’t have concrete evidence against me. Because I got nothing to do with it.
A: Dad, don’t!

C: I heard you wanted to see me?
Me: That’s right. I got an arrest warrant against you. Because of attempted murder of Tobias Ehrlinger.
C: How’s that coming to your mind?
Me: We got a witness statement. Someone saw how you prepared the bottle with the poison.
C: Let me guess who that was. Xenia Saalfeld, my ex-wife. She’s trying to set me up for years because of personal animosities. You’ll only embarrass yourself in court with her as a witness.
Me: The statement isn’t from Mrs. Saalfeld.
C: From who?
R: From me. I saw how you filled in the poison in Ehrlinger’s bottle.

T: Hi, doc.
M: Mr. Ehrlinger.
T: You sadly came too late and missed the legendary rissoles.
M: The nurses already told me you were having a little party.
T: Just with some friends from the voluntary fire brigade. Did you already find out when I can finally leave? My trainer really needs to know when I can start.
M: Yes, we wanted to wait for the MRT because of that.
T: There’s no result yet?
M: There is, I just got the report.
T: And?
M: The nerve tracts which are leading from your spinal cord to your leg muscles aren’t squished like originally thought.
T: So everything’s alright and I can soon feel my leg again, hm?
M: Unfortunately, no. The nerve tracts were cut through. And it’s irreversible.
T: What’s that supposed to mean?
M: I’m really sorry, Mr. Ehrlinger, but.. Most likely, your leg will stay paralyzed. Forever.

[lindor]

3065
I
T: Does it mean I won’t be able to ever walk again?
M: I wish I could tell you something else, but.. yes, it seems so. I know it’s a body blow now.
T: What.. what about my education?
M: I don’t really know this stuff. Maybe there are some tasks at the fire department which you.. I rather would have delivered you better news, Mr. Ehrlinger. If I can do anything for you.. If you want to talk someone, we got psychologists.
T: I would like to be alone.
M: Fine. So.. I’ll stop by later one more time, alright?

A: Dad!
C: Call Dr. Stiller.
Me: Please come with us now.
C: Tell him I was incriminated with a false statement.
A: Who was it? Xenia?
C: Robert Saalfeld. Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon.
Me: And move out now.
A: You’re arresting the wrong one, my father is innocent.
Me: I guess we’ll find out.
X: Yes.

II
A : How long is Dr. Stiller still in the court? Tell him he needs to call me immediately after that. It’s urgent. You imputed my father to an attempt of murder. He was arrested because of you. But it wasn’t him.
R: Matter of opinion.
A: The real culprit is still free instead. Don’t you have a conscience at all?
R: I stand by my opinion.
A: You just want to get rid of him to have this hotel back for your clan only.
R: If you mean my family, yes, actually I wouldn’t mind.
A: We won’t tolerate this.
J: Hey. What’s going on here?
A: Your father brought mine into the prison.
J: We both go for a blow and you’re going to tell me in peace what happened.
A: You’re going to regret your false statement, you can bet on it.

III
J : Okay, my father isn’t always easy and can really flare up, but he’s honest.
A: Right. And my father is lying into my face, or what?
J: You know best what he all did to sabotage the relationship of Tobias and Boris.
A: He got nothing, absolutely nothing to do with this poison story.
J: Then tell me a good reason why Robert should impute him to that.
A: He hates my father, he wants to get rid of our family, he wants to have the hotel back for him. Seek revenge for Valentina, hey, pick one of it.
J: He wouldn’t risk a complaint for false statement because of that.
A: We’ll see.
J: Do we really have to fight over this? Let’s just wait what the investigations will show.
A: Man, it’s just one bad joke.
J: Where do you want to go now?
A: I must finally get in touch with dad’s lawyer, he has to get him out of there.

IV
B : He’s now on remand thanks to Robert’s statement.
T: So you were actually right.
B: Yes. Unfortunately.
T: I don’t know what to say. On one hand, I’m really sorry for you, but..
B: My father didn’t deserve better. He’ll get his fair punishment and you’re safe. That’s what matters. We can finally plan our new future in Rosenheim now.
T: About that.. It might won’t be like we imagined.
B: Why?
T: I can’t become a firefighter. My leg is paralyzed.

V
B : They always said your leg would heal well.
T: Yes, but only the fracture. The nerves aren’t squished but they’re cut through. I’ll walk on crutches from now on.
B: Are you sure you really did understand Mr. Niederbühl?
T: Hey, I’m not a fool. That was it, for good.
B: There sure is an operation or some specialist he doesn’t..
T: The leg is just crap!
B: You definitely should get a second opinion.
T: Stop it! The sooner I resign myself to it, the easier it’ll be. Please leave me alone now. I’m tired.

VI
T : Actually, I came to the fire department for another reason. When I was 16, I pulled a girl out of the Krautinger lake. She broke in during skating and was already all cool.
B: Okay.
T: She trembled and jittered all over her body. But when I got her out, she clutched blessedly at my neck. I was her hero.
There are more exciting missions. But when Mrs. Scharfmühler is calling and we got nothing to do at the moment..
B: You’ll search for her cat.
T: Kitty, kitty, kitty. I’ll never forget you’re giving me this chance. And you can believe me, I really take the therapy seriously.
B: Fine.
T: I want to succeed. Really.
B: I’ll support you. Wherever I can.

VII
R : Jackie, that’s the order for the change of supplier. You can hand out the assignment just like this.
Ja: Alrigth, thank you.
R: My pleasure. Hey, still working?
B: What? No, it’s private.
R: How’s your boyfriend by now?
B: He’s out of the woods. And his fracture is also healing well. He was told today that the nerve tracts to his spinal cord cracked. He can’t move his leg anymore.
R: It’s paralyzed?
B: Yes.
R: What are the doctors saying?
B: Dr. Niederbühl says there’s no prospect of healing.
R: I know from my own experience that you shouldn’t accept the diagnosis of doctors just like this even if I very appreciate Michael personally.
B: You got own experience?
R: Yeah. My wife Miriam, I mean my first wife, sat in the wheelchair for years.
B: Right.
R: In her case, a posttraumatic stress disorder was the reason she couldn’t walk anymore, but the doctors also didn’t believe anymore back then she could make it sometime.
B: And how did she make it after all?
R: Targeted training. Her unbelievable endurance. And our support. What I actually want to say.. don’t you ever lose hope. Get a second opinion immediately.
B: Well, what do you think I’m researching for the whole time.
R: You’ll make it. I root for you. And a kind regard to Tobias.
B: Robert. Thank you. If you hadn’t seen this with Tobias’ drinking bottle, my father would probably still be on the loose.
R: An absolute coincidence.

VIII
R: But we were in the Sagrada Familia today and at the pool afterwards. Well, me. Paul did his final training for the triathlon tomorrow.
T: You seem to quite like it in Barcelona.
R: Totally. Barcelona is really dreamlike. But tell me now, how are you? Tobi? Hey, are you still there?
T: Yes, everything’s fine.
R: What’s your leg doing?
T: It’s still there.
R: I hope so. But..
T: I have to hang up. The nurse is coming with the dinner.
R: Okay.
T: See you. Say hello to Paul.
R: I will. See you.
T: Yes?
B: May I?
T: Sure.
B: Cheese bread hospital deluxe. Or your favorite pizza instead?
T: I’ll give you three guesses.
B: Did you recover after your first shock?
T: You mean that I’m a cripple from now on?
B: Stop talking like that.
T: Why? Why not calling a spade a spade?
B: I shall give you kind regards from Robert. His first wife also sat in the wheelchair for years. Well, she couldn’t walk anymore because of mental reasons, her father’s death, but they found a specialist and he revived her.
T: You think it would work for me, too?
B: There’s a professor in Berlin, Pr. Rehweger and..
T: It’s not a mental reason for me. My nerves are cut, alright? No miracle healer could help.

IX
V: It’s so unfair. I just got some scratches and contusions and you..
T: It wouldn’t be fairer if you lied here.
V: So when can you leave?
T: No idea.
V: But first of all, you’ll get back on the machine again. It’s like riding. If you fall down, you’ll have to get up again immediately.
T: I’m afraid that won’t happen.
V: Why?
T: My leg won’t take it anymore.
V: What do you mean?

X
V: You’ll have to walk on crutches forever?
T: Sadly.
V: But maybe Dr. Niederbühl was just wrong.
T: You already sound like Boris. He also can’t accept it, but that’s the case, I won’t be able to ever walk again in a right way.
V: How would you know?
T: My leg is paralyzed.
V: You can’t give up, especially not in the beginning.
T: But it’s the end of the line here and I rather come to terms with it than having useless hopes.
V: Hey! I had leukemia. And I nearly died. Of course I was desperate. But I kept up and fought. You can’t lose hope.

[lindor]

3066
I
T: As fast as the fire brigade, huh? Thank you, I’ll be fine from here.
B: Good morning.
1: Morning.
B: Have you done the first exercises?
T: Yeah.
B: And? How did it work?
T: It’s in progress. I’m sorry I was so rude against you yesterday.
B: There’s nothing you have to be sorry for.
T: There is. Me speaking out against the second opinion yesterday was just childish.
B: That means I can get in touch with Pr. Rehweger?
T: Yes. Valentina made me realize that giving up is no option.
B: Good, I’ll do it in a bit. Or not?
T: Yes. Yes. I only thought.. if this guy is really such a big shot, will he even accept public health patients?
B: No idea. In the worst case, I’ll pay the treatment.
T: How?
B: Well, I’ll take out a loan then or I’ll ask my mother. I’ll find a way.
T: Thank you for always being there for me. But however, you forgot something. I didn’t get a hello kiss.
B: What?
T: Yes.
B: This is indeed absolutely wrong.

II
B: I mailed you the report, the results of the MRT and the declaration of agreement of Mr. Ehrlinger. Yes, so.. Thank you again for taking time on short notice. See you, Pr. Rehweger. Goodbye. How about knocking?
A: Funny. Here. Work for you.
B: What’s that?
A: Your new to-do-list. Don’t be surprised, there are also a few things for Tobias on it.
B: Changing the light bulbs, venting the heating?
A: I thought you might do it for him.
B: And since when do you give me orders?
A: Since I got dad’s authority for that.
B: Someone is quite proud there, huh?
A: I just say how it is. As long as dad is in remand, I’m his representative.
B: Good for you.
A: I presume of course that these things are done till tomorrow morning.
B: There is still time for that until the end of the week.
A: Tomorrow. Morning.
B: Don’t - act up - like this, Annabelle. Could I have the mail, please?
2: Yes.
A: You can’t just leave me standing there.
B: I can as you see. Thank you.
2: My pleasure.
A: Boris, if you like it or not: you’ll kindly do what I tell you.
B: Yes, sure.
A: Last warning. That’s not a game. You’re fired.
B: Dream on. If you wanted to fire me as the manager, you would need the agreement of all shareholders.
A: The majority is enough. And I’ll get it. Through Joshua. Bet on it.

III
B: I didn’t order that.
N: It’s on me. As a little comfort. Is it true what the office grapevine is saying?
B: What is he saying?
N: That your sister fired you?
B: Annabelle would like to. But she can’t. Mr. Pr. Rehweger? Yes. There’s no hope? Are you sure? I see. Of course. Thank you very much anyway. Yes. Goodbye.
N: Is it about Mr. Ehrlinger’s leg?
B: Yes. I wanted to have a second opinion and sent the patient’s file to a doctor in Berlin. Mr. Pr. Rehweger is a specialist in the field of vascular surgery and neurology.
N: And he now confirmed the diagnosis of my husband?
B: Tobi’s leg will stay paralyzed. For forever it seems.
N: Oh God. I didn’t know it was this terrible. I’m insanely sorry.
B: Tobi didn’t even want a second opinion at first and he got such hopes then. How am I gonna teach him this now? Should I ask a third doctor? There have to be some specialists anywhere.
N: Do you know what, it might sound a bit weird now for you, but there are some people who heal only because of the force of their thoughts.
B: Sorry, but I don’t believe in this esotericism stuff.
N: Sure, because the cerebral western forgot to feel himself. Only by bundles of energy.. what you can all achieve with that.
B: Would be nice.

IV
B: Hey.
T: Hey. Good timing, I just talked to Romy. She’s sending kind regards. I think Barcelona is her new favorite city. The food, the atmosphere, Gandi’s buildings.
B: Gaudi.
T: Yes, like I said.
B: And Paul? Isn’t the triathlon today?
T: Yes. They both are already quite excited. Like me, by the way. Have you already sent the documents to Berlin?
B: Yes. Pr. Rehweher also already confirmed the receipt.
T: If the guy is just as half as good like you’re saying, I’ll soon leave you behind on the training runs. I read a couple things about him. He’s really a dab hand: Engrafting nerves, reconstructing them. I think he could be my savior. Did he say when he can have a look at the documents?
B: It sadly takes a bit more time. He has a lot on his plate.
T: Yes, sure. Someone this good has a full appointment calendar of course. Although, waiting isn’t quite my strength. But it’ll be worth it.

V
D: Hello.
X: Denise, how nice.
D: Are you in the mood for a billiard match?
X: Gladly.
D: It was so fun the last time.
X: Although I hardly had a chance against you. We can directly go downstairs.
D: Could I get a glass of water before?
X: Sure, come in. Sit down. Have you already heard about our vote?
D: Because of dad, yes. My last status is that you want to get rid of him.
X: Do you still doubt his guilt?
D: I don’t know myself. What was the result?
X: Well.. Werner and Robert Saalfeld voted for the fact that Christoph has to go.
D: Just like you.
X: But not Mr. Winter unfortunately.
D: Joshua wants dad to stay?
X: Probably because of Annabelle.
D: Oh, I’m sorry.
X: Does Joshua Winter still distract you?
D: Rather Annabelle, but you know that.
X: I’m going to blow-dry this shortly.
D: Yeah.
X: I’ll be back soon.

VI
D: It can’t be true. Damn. Maybe Boris’ birthday.
X: So, as for me.. we can go.
D: Oh, it can’t be true.
X: What’s wrong?
D: I must go to the stud, the supplies arrive two hours earlier. I’m sorry, mum.
X: I get it. We’ll have to catch up our billiard match another time.
D: Absolutely. See you.
Delete chosen element? Yes.

VII
N: Here you go, gentlemen.
3: Thank you.
N: Did you visit Mr. Erhlinger? Should I do an alcoholic free mojito for you now? It awakes the animal spirits.
B: If it also helps when you must get courage..
N: No. You didn’t tell him.
B: Tobias got all his hope in this professor.
N: The more you wait, the more Mr. Ehrlinger gets worked up about that.
B: He’ll be devastated if I tell him. And then I don’t know how to bolster him up anymore. What did you mean earlier?
N: Oh, you mean my esotericism stuff?
B: Yes, maybe it helps after all.
N: Absolutely. I treated many persons and had a success rate of 100%.
B: Did you also treat irreversible paralysis?
N: No, not that. But.. I could recommend someone to you.

R: I’m somehow sorry about Ms. Bronckhorst. I admit her methods are sometimes a bit offbeat, but strangely, deep down somewhere in me I like the woman. Can’t she catch up the exam?
X: There’s no appointment for the next two months and she’ll already have her baby then.
R: But it might work somehow after all then.
X: I don’t believe that.
R: Why not? How the hell..
C: A wonderful good afternoon.
X: What are you doing here?
C: Let me think about it. I live here, I work here.
X: How did you get out of remand?
C: Bail. I’m a free man until the trial starts. Almost free. I’m not allowed to go abroad, I didn’t plan that anyway. It’s too nice to be here, right? Well, yes. I would be extremely careful if I were you. Even if I’m not a murderer, maybe I’ll start poisoning now.

VIII
C: Hey. Busy, busy.
A: Dad, I can’t believe it.
C: Hey. Sweetie.
A: So? Who did you corrupt?
C: No one. A good lawyer is just priceless. Just like you, thank you for convincing your boyfriend to vote for me.
A: Well, I just got him quite under control.
C: So your relationship turned to account then.
A: Hey, what a nice surprise.
J: I thought we would just catch up yesterday evening without talking about our fathers? What do you think of that?
C: Mr. Winter, I..wanted to thank you. Thank you for not getting manipulated by your family. I really appreciate this.

I
B: Can’t I discuss this directly with the master? I don’t know much about reiki, but it’s very important. Alright, I’ll get in touch in with you once again. Goodbye.
Ti: Reiki?
B: I don’t know if it’s useful. I’m just searching for ways to help Tobias.
Ti: Erm, what do the doctors say?
B: Pr. Rehweger confirmed the diagnosis of Dr. Niederbühl. The nerve tracts are cut trough – there’s nothing you can do.
Ti: And how does Tobias cope with it?
B: He doesn’t even know yet that no one can help him.

C: I’m here again.
D: Dad!
C: Hey.
D: Did Robert Saalfeld withdraw his statement?
C: Unfortunately not.
D: But they don’t believe him?
C: That will just become clear from the trial. I’ll be on the loose until then. On conditions, but.. it’ll be fine.
D: Do you know when the trial shall start?
C: I only know so far that I’ll be accused of attempted murder of Tobias Ehrlinger. Not the best lawyer on earth could change that.
D: And then prison will impend you.
C: Only when they believe more in Robert Saalfeld’s words than mine. Which won’t happen. Otherwise, your mother would have achieved her goal.
D: Dad, I..
C: Thank God I don’t have only enemies here. Joshua Winter spoke for me, even though his family wants to get rid of me as soon as possible. The guy has guts, I wouldn’t have thought that.
D: Joshua was just trying to do the right thing.
C: He did.

II
J: I also met him today. Somehow weird he got released just like this.
D: Yes. Until the trial and on bail. I would have liked to tell him what I heard. Well, the talk between my mother and Robert Saalfeld. But it was nothing concrete.
J: The gazes between them during the meeting were indeed weird, but.. that’s not a proof.
D: One is definitely lying. Either your father or mine.
J: As long as we don’t hold something over their heads..
D: Come on. I searched through her room.
J: Of your mother?

B: Mrs. Schweitzer is totally convinced of this reiki master. Laying on of hands and so on, I know it’s sounds weird, but it might help after all. Anyway, this man healed many patients who were written off long ago from the academic medicine.
Ti: You can’t just keep back the fact from Tobias that the professor can’t help him either.
B: I’m just afraid he’ll hit rock bottom and he won’t engage in anything anymore. You think I’m naïve, right?
Ti: No. Boris, I think it’s great how you care about Tobias. But reiki.. Nils once offered it here in the hotel. I think you shouldn’t expect a wonder.
B: They just happen, right? Or not.

III
J: Quite brave.
D: But it was for nothing. I had way too little time for that.
J: Can you somehow entice her away from her room? For a bit longer.
D: I think so. But the universal key won’t work. She got her lock renewed not long ago.
J: So we have to somehow borrow her key.
D: Yes, but it won’t be you. Joshua, if you get caught – you’ve been in the prison before.
J: I’ll pay attention.
D: Hello. I’m sorry I rushed off this fast earlier.
X: Work comes first, that’s life.
D: But I would be free now. And the pool table would be free.
X: Great. But I would be more keen on a tennis match.
D: Yes, we’ll do.
X: I’ll get a few things done at first and I’ll call you then.
D: Okay.
X: See you.

IV
X: Do you really think I’m not recognizing you’re planning something? That you’re spying on me. Oh, Denise. How could you do this?
*writing fake diary*
X: 16. July: Denise and Annabelle arrived today.

V
C: I won’t do anything to you. I just want to talk to you.
T: What do you want? Being pleased about what you did to me? Or being angry that I didn’t kick the bucket?
C: You’re right. I don’t really like you. But I got nothing to do with the coward poisoning attack, I swear.
T: That’s all?
C: How are you?
T: Great. Even better if you leave again.
C: I wanted to ask if you recognized something when you connected the monitor to my laptop?
T: The cable didn’t fit.
C: Has someone been in the room apart from us? Have you been outside in between?
T: Only when I got the monitor.
C: Think about it.
T: There was no one. Besides, it doesn’t even matter.
C: It doesn’t? Because I’m the only one to be considered as the culprit? If I had wanted to do something to do, I would have never done it that conspicuous. In the bureau with an open door. Someone wants to set me up.
T: Who would it be?
C: My ex wife.
T: What a crock. Get out.
C: Did Xenia act somehow conspicuous?
T: You should better leave now.
C: Think about it, for God’s sake!
B: What are you doing here?
VI
B: Mum always supported us compared to you. You’re the only one with a motive.
C: There are other ones to be a possibility. Old poker friends your boyfriend is still owing to or a maybe something went wrong on a mission and someone blames him for that now.
T: Certainly not.
B: Out now.
C: You don’t want to see the obvious. You rather take the simple way instead of wanting to find the real culprit.
B: Out!

VII
T: Nothing happened after all.
B: And if I showed up a few minutes later?
T: Do you believe he wanted to push a pillow on my face? What if it really wasn’t him?
B: But Robert have seen how he put the arsenic into the bottle. Do you need any more proof?
T: Have you already heard something from Pr. Rehweger?
B: I didn’t unfortunately.
T: He must be really good if he got so little time. He must fix up my leg again. He just must. I mean if not, then.. I will actually stay a cripple for the rest of my life and..
B: I also learned about other methods. Reiki for example.
T: What’s that supposed to be?
B: It works through laying on of hands and floating energies. I’m serious. It supports the healing. It wouldn’t hurt to try.
T: But I don’t need esotericism idiocy. I need the professor, nothing else. Do you keep something secret?
B: I’m just trying to consider all methods. Mrs. Schweitzer was so enthused about this reiki master and he even got some free appointments.
T: Fine. I’ll do it. I can’t run away after all.
B: I have to go. I’ll stop by later again.
T: See you.

VIII
X: What’s up, do we play a match?
D: I’d love to. But I’m warning you: I was in the school team.
X: I can see that. But you could maybe let me win one point once in a while. What would you think of doing a little mountain hike together in the next few days?
D: Huh?
X: Or rather an excessive shopping tour in Munich?
D: That’s more Annabelle’s style.
X: Is there something else I can get you thrilled with? Apart from old furniture?
D: With old paintings?
X: There is currently a – oops – expressionism exhibition in Munich. Look. That would be something for you, right?
D: Yes.
J: Sorry. Will only take a moment.
D: I’m sorry mum. I just have to give him some documents.
X: Yes, work is calling.
D: Yes, so.. Here are the documents.
J: Try to hold her back. I’ll give you the key back. Alright, I’ll take a look at the documents. Good luck.
X: Are you ready?
D: Yes.
X: So I’m curious.. who’ll win this game.

1: Mrs. Saalfeld? I wanted to ask if I can clean up now? Mrs. Saalfeld? Alright, I’ll return later.

R: You want us to keep it secret?
B: Yes, do you want to tell him into his face that his leg will stay paralyzed forever? He wants to join the professional fire brigade.
R: Yes, but..
B: What’s he supposed to do now there?
R: He’ll find something to do.
B: Romy. Pr. Rehweger is his last hope for maybe having a chance to save his leg after all.
R: If he gets to know you’re lying to him..
B: I only want to have alternatives before telling him.
R: You now want me to go inside and act like nothing is wrong?
B: Give me a few days. Please, Romy. I only want the best for Tobias.
R: Okay.

X: 16. July: Denise and Annabelle are here. Finally, the beauty salon reopened. I’m still shaking. The Fürstenhof got robbed. What Boris must have been through all these years. I understand he was afraid to come out to Christoph. I wish him so much he’ll become happy with Tobias.
You’re really good or I’m getting old.
J: I’m just coming in time. I had a look. It’s fine. But have a look yourself again.
X: Where is my jacket?
J: May I?
X: Thank you.
J: By the way, Mr. Sonnenbichler lets you know that a package has arrived for you.
X: Thank you.
J: Have a great afternoon.
X: Don’t you want to accompany him?
D: Mum, stop. Joshua is with Annabelle.
X: Well, I don’t want to intrude myself, but.. if you need someone to talk to or just for playing tennis. I’m always there for you.

R: It was so great.
T: Did you at least put your feet into the sea?
R: The big toe, it was really cold.
T: What else have you done?
R: We explored the whole old town by foot. Erm..
T: Everything’s fine. There’s still hope my leg will work again.
R Boris said you wanted to try a reiki treatment.
T: Yes. And afterwards, I’ll drop a bit holy water over my leg, say a spell and I’ll jump happily out of the bed tomorrow. I only did it so Boris would be quiet. I’m more relying on the statement of Pr. Rehweger. I just don’t understand why it takes so long for him to answer. Do you keep something secret?
R: No. How’s that coming to your mind?
T: Romy..
R: Boris is.. in the cafeteria. Cake. I’ll search for him.
T: Romy.
R: I really don’t know anything.
T: Get a piece of cake for me. Go.

D: That we have to trick mum like this.. Has Joshua even found something? I just can’t imagine that mum wants to kill someone. But neither does dad. And he’s so sure she’s the one behind it.
J: Did you know your mother is writing diary?

IX
J: She was totally happy for Boris and hoped he would become happy with Tobias.
D: It means she has not the slightest motive?
J: She was totally shocked about the accident.
D: I should have just trusted her.
J: You barely know each other.
D: Yes, but she’s trying everything to get closer to me and I? I’m snooping on her in this mean way.
J: At least we know now what the deal is.
D: I’m so glad she got nothing to do about the poisoning attack.
J: But who was it then?

X
B: There was no more nut cake. So I brought you vitamins. Catch. Look what I found online.
T: A self-help group for liars?
B: Electrotherapy.
T: The professor reported back long ago, right?
B: Did Romy talk to you?
T: Yes, she did. But she didn’t say anything. Do you think I don’t recognize when you’re humming and hawing all the time? He said the same as Dr. Niederbühl.
B: This electrotherapy..
T: Just stop the bullshit! Why are you lying to me? Do you think I’m a little kid who can’t bear the truth?

XI
B: Do you want something else?
T: Thanks.
B: You were right. I should have told you right away that the professor confirmed the diagnosis of Dr. Niederbühl. And the thing about the reiki master maybe was a bit suboptimal, too.
T: What a glorious realization.
B: We should go on researching anyway. To look who or what else could help you after all. A positive attitude is important for the healing.
T: What for a healing? My nerve is broken.
B: You’re fully giving up on yourself, it doesn’t suit you at all.
T: Do you already know better than me what suits me? You treat me like a little child.
B: I said that I’m sorry!
T: And you surely meant it well. But do you know the contrary of meaning well? Well done.
B: You’re unfair.
T: Just leave me alone.
2: Ready to go, Mr. Ehrlinger. For the checkup.

[lindor]

3068
I
M: I had a look at the MRT. It looks fine. I mean it, considering the circumstances. In any case. The circumstances aren’t ideal of course.
T: I say.
M: But Mr. Ehrlinger, there are other options than a life in the wheelchair. You’ll get to learn about alternative methods to move during the rehab. With a three-point walking stick for example.
T: My grandpa had one, too. When he was 80.
M: Yes, but you’re young. You’re strong, you can well compensate your disability. I think in the end, you’ll only need a normal stick to walk.
T: Paperboard bread, flabby cheese and slime. Do you know what? I’ll drive home. More accurately, I’ll roll home.
M: Wait, wait. Listen to me. It’s not only about your paralyzed leg. You’ve been poisoned with arsenic. I would like to keep you here for one or two more days, for observation.
T: I’m living in a flat share, I got enough observation there.
M: Mr. Ehrlinger, you nearly died. Please..
T: That’s exactly why I want to enjoy my life. With my friends, in my apartment, where I’m feeling good and where I get food that I like.
M: Please, be reasonable. Believe me that it would be good to stay.
T: I must sign any paper. Or I.. Leaving at my own risk, huh? Give it to me.. I want to go home.

II
X: Denise.
D: Hello.
X: It was really fun with you today.
D: It was really nice.
X: We have to do something together again soon.
D: The exhibition in Munich seemed interesting, would you be in?
X: Absolutely. We’ll arrange something soon.
C: You get along remarkably good.
D: You want to convince me again that it was her with the attack on Tobias. But it wasn’t her.
C: And you know that, because?
D: I recognized something. And no, I won’t tell you.
C: Denise. Please. She might be your mother, but she’s dangerous. Tell me what you know.
D: Dad, stop it.
C: You’re making a huge mistake by trusting her.
D: And you’re becoming obsessed. I know you’re nervous because of the trial. But if it wasn’t you, you don’t have to fear anything.
C: Yes, it wasn’t me.
D: Neither was mum. So don’t get further worked up about it. The culprit is probably someone who no one has thought about so far. Even not the police.

III
T: Can you put them over there?
R: Yes. I’ll go shopping in a moment. Do you have any special requests for tonight?
T: Mainly much and yummy. But I think I would eat almost everything currently.
R: Hey, be careful, otherwise I’ll just open a few cans. See you later.
P: See you.
R: See you soon.
P: Well, as you can see, Joshua and I let it a bit slide with the kitchen.
T: You needn’t think I’m playing the house maid for you now just because I’m still on sick leave.
P: You won’t?
T: I could have done it myself.
P: I know how you feel. When I was blind, I didn’t want to accept help from anyone.
T: You know it.
P: I almost torched the flat.
T: Paul. Thanks.

IV
B: Hey.
R: Hey.
B: Did I miss something? Is there a flat share dinner today?
R: It’s for Tobias.
B: Kind of you. You were completely right by the way, I should have told him the truth right away.
R: I didn’t reveal anything.
B: I know. He guessed right himself. He just knows me too well.
R: Me, too.
B: Now he’s hopping mad at me and feels infantilized. Can I bring him the meal into the hospital? I got an excuse then to talk to him.
R: You could, yes, but he’s not in the hospital anymore.
B: What?
R: He released himself.
B: Tell me, is he crazy? And where is he now?
R: Downstairs.
B: I’ll have a few things to tell him.
R: Boris, let it be.
B: Sorry, but it’s totally irresponsible.
R: Yes, but still! You want to make up with him, right?
B: Of course, but I don’t want him to risk his health.
R: It’s his health and his decision. Please don’t make the same mistake again and interfere too much.

P: No, of course. It’s clear you also have other athletes on mind. Erm, would it be okay if I let you know tomorrow? Very good. So I’m saying thank you and goodbye.
T: I’m sorry, I didn’t want to eavesdrop.
P: Doesn’t matter.
T: It seems like you must make a difficult decision until tomorrow.
P: The most important decision in my life.
T: Sounds dramatic.
P: It was Alfred Blum. He’s the trainer of one of the best German triathlon teams.
T: And they want to have you?
P: Yeah.
T: Congratulations.
P: The only problem is that they want me to move to Cologne for that.
T: And my cousin doesn’t want to join in there.
P: Yes, Romy would be in, but.. I’m also becoming a dad. I want to use this chance at all costs. It could be my last one to reach the top. I also.. want to be there for Luna. That I must decide for one of both, that’s..
T: You can also have both.
P: I can’t afford to shuttle between Cologne and Bichlheim all the time.
T: Yes, but Luna also has a mother who will surely take fantastic care of her.
P: Jessica is already panicking now because of the future. And I promised her.
T: But it’s about you and your daughter. And what will she have from a father who’s sitting her frustrated? Do your thing, pull through and still be there for her. On weekends and training free days. She can visit you in Cologne, too.
P: You mean less time, but quality time instead?
T: Yes, exactly.

V
P: I, erm, I.. I’m coming.
B: Room service.
P: Hey.
B: Hi.
P: So, if I go upstairs now, Romy will have more of that?
B: She got enough for you two.
P: Very good.
B: Are you hungry?
T: Yes.
B: Plates?
T: In the sink. Where’s the preachment?
B: Because you released yourself? I’m going to shut up from now on. Cutlery?
T: On the sink. And where’s the catch? Is everything really alright?
B: Yes, I got it. You decide how you want to be treated, if at all. Well, it could be the case of course that I’ll stand by you consultatively now and then.
T: Do you know what else I won’t be able to do anymore with the leg? Standing up to pull you over to me on the sofa.
B: Would you want to?

VI
T: And have you already decided because of the triathlon team in Cologne?
P: I got a few hours left. And what are you planning now where the rest of us has to work?
T: I think I’ll watch a movie.
P: Oh, you’re lucky. See you.
T: Bye.
B: Hey. Nothing happened.
T: Everything’s alright. Everything’s alright. Thank you, it’s fine. It’s fine.
B: Hey, here. The management operator of Rosenheim’s fire brigade just called me. He wanted to know how you’re doing. They want to hire you.
T: As what?
B: In the control room.
T: Hanging all day on the phone, huh?
B: But you would be still part of the fire brigade.
T: Right. I guess I have to learn how to be happy about the little things in life. Control room it is.
B: Only if you want to of course.
T: It’s better than nothing. The clothes also won’t reek of smoke anymore.

[lindor]

I
B: Bad news?
D: I got a summons for dad’s trial. I just can’t imagine he has anything to do with it.
B: I do.
D: Hypothetically speaking, he would actually want to kill someone. Do you really think he would do it with poison?
B: I have stopped long ago to be surprised about anything concerning him. And Tobias hasn’t any enemies, except him.
D: How is Tobias anyway?
B: Terrible.

II
D: Is it final? But there should be something you can do? There are researches all the time.
B: We got a second opinion by now. The situation is sadly absolutely hopeless.
D: You don’t know how sorry I am. It means he will never..
B: ..be able to work as fire-fighter, yes. But hey, if you hadn’t found him in time, he wouldn’t have probably been alive now. There are still many jobs he can do.
D: Right. But still.. I think it must be hard when you get to know that your life will completely change.
B: We’ll make it. We’ll make it.
D: Boris. I’m always there for you.

III
C: Could we talk for a moment?
R: Wouldn’t know what about.
C: You did a false statement. And Xenia insinuated you to do.
R: That’s it?
C: You aren’t really a liar. You’re more the guy who doesn’t get corrupted so easily. That’s why I’m thinking you’ll come to your senses when you’re on trial as a witness.
R: Would you please let me pass?
C: All lies will be exposed sooner or later, no exceptions, it’s a law of nature.
R: Listen, I don’t have time for your ungraceful attempts at intimidation. Ehrlinger’s leg is paralyzed because of you. Think about that for once, okay?
C: Sometime, you’ll have to explain to your wife that you brought an innocent man into the prison. I wouldn’t like to be in your shoes then.

IV
T: Yes, mum, it’s not that bad, really. Besides, what’s dad always saying? An Ehrlinger is tough, huh? Yes, we’ll meet soon then. I’m looking forward to it. Take care.
Coming soon. What do you want here?
C: What a welcome. I’m allowed to get in?
T: You already are.

B: It’s getting serious now. Testifying against the own father.
X: The statement of Robert Saalfeld will be deciding for sure. And hopefully, Christoph will get finally sentenced.
B: Hopefully.
X: What about Tobi and you? What are your plans? Do you want to stay at Fürstenhof?
B: It’s hard to plan at the moment.
X: He must get healthy at first.
B: So healthy he can be. It’s much more difficult for Tobi to learn how to come to terms with his disability.
X: It’s not easy for you either for sure.
B: How he’s torturing himself through the apartment with his crutches..
X: If he just hadn’t climbed on this motorbike..
B: Now we bring Christoph into prison at first. Everything else will fall into place then.

C: Shouldn’t we sit down?
T: I can also stand the half of minute.
C: You’re not letting down yourself, I like that.
T: And you’re not here to make compliments? So, what do you want?
C: Fine, let’s get down to business, I want to make a proposal to you.
T: Should I play poker against you one more time?
C: I heard about the consequences for you because of the accident. I’m really sorry your job-related lifegoal is destroyed.
T: Sure. And the offer?
C: You can work for me again. Either here at Fürstenhof or at some other hotel of mine. Thailand, Bali, Argentina, Trinidad, you choose.
T: As company technician? How am I supposed to climb the ladder? Or to carry the furniture?
C: There are enough office jobs, we’ll find something. And it’ll be written in the contract that it’s irredeemable.
T: I would also get an office job at the fire brigade. And no one wants to poison me there at least.
C: Look, you’ll need a lot of money in the near future. Treatment expenses, physiotherapy, walking frames. I’ll pay you the triple.
T: You’re only doing this to spruce your image up so that you’ll look better in court. But I surely won’t help you with that. You poisoned me.
C: Well, I would actually quite like the idea of you to disappear out of Boris’ life. Forever. But if I had wanted to kill you, surely not by a coward poisoning attack.
T: I wouldn’t put anything past you.
C: I swear to you, if I had wanted to put you away, we wouldn’t have stood here now anymore talking to each other. Think about my offer, unhurriedly. Or do you want to live off Boris from now on for the rest of your life?

V
R: I’m going to exactly repeat in court what I already have recorded to the police.
C: Even though it’s a lie?
R: There’s nothing more to say about it.
C: Fine, I already know what you want from me.
R: You do?
C: It’s about profit, like always in life. You want to blackmail me.
R: Gee, you really must got a sick character to get such an idea.
C: Yes, go on playing the nice guy. I’m ready to make the sacrifice. Even if you know how hard it is for me.
R: I’m really curious now.
C: You’re going to withdraw your statement.. and get 500.000€.
R: I don’t need your money. Thanks.
C: Fine, 10% of my shares of Fürstenhof. Your family has the majority again then and you’re free to do what you like. And I want to hear a ceremonial yes now.
R: No.
C: It can’t be more than 10%.
R: Do you know what this strongly seems to be? A confession of guilt.
C: Schulz, how well do you shoot?

B: He seriously had the audacity to call on you here? At home? Why didn’t you call me?
T: I had everything under control.
B: Did he bring something with him? Something to eat or something to drink?
T: Do you think he wants to poison me one more time?
B: Was he on the refrigerator? Did you leave any tea open? Anything?
T: Boris, everything’s fine. Even him wouldn’t do that.
B: Well, I also never thought that he would try to kill my brother or my boyfriend. He’s just offering you this damn job so that the judge will think that this Christoph Saalfeld isn’t such a bad guy after all.
T: I know that, everything is about calculation with him. But that’s exactly why it’s weird.
B: What?
T: When a guy like him wanted to kill someone, he would choose a surefire method. Especially, he would take care that no one will suspect him. Why am I still alive then? And why is he that stupid that he even lets himself get witnessed?
B: But Robert just saw him putting the poison into the bottle. Tobias, my father isn’t a super criminal. He also does a mistake once in a while.

VI
R: Do you have time for a moment?
X: Of course. Mr. Saalfeld, please sit down. Have you already had breakfast? Boris told me yesterday how bad Tobias Ehrlinger is doing. He’ll never be able to walk again. Christoph destroyed this young man’s life completely.
R: I don’t like this story at all.
X: Me neither. As long as Christoph is still on the loose..
R: How do I know you really saw Christoph putting the poison into the bottle?
X: I thought we have already discussed that long ago.
R: You’re only wishing him all the worst. How can I be sure you’re not using me for your aims?
X: Christoph put you under pressure, right?
R: On the contrary, he tried to corrupt me.
X: With what?
R: Shares of the Fürstenhof. 10%.
X: Ha. Perfect. If you report this on court, Christoph will be completely finished. We’ll drink to that. A glass of champagne for this gentleman, please.
1: Coming right away.
R: No, thank you. I’m on duty. How am I supposed to report something under oath I’m doubting about? I’m not sure if I can do this.
V: Hey, dad.
R: Hey. Why aren’t you in school yet?
V: The first two lessons are cancelled. Will you give me a ride later?
R: Sure, I can do that.
X: Valentina. How’s your hand? Will the splint stay on for long?
V: No, it’ll be away soon. The contusion is healing well. So see you soon, thank you, dad.
R: See you, of course.
X: Luckily, nothing more happened in the motorbike accident.
R: Stop it.
X: Mr. Saalfeld, Christoph almost got your daughter on his conscience. Already for the second time.
Damn.

VII
C: Good work, Schulz.
S: You can knock out a tiger with this thing.

[lindor]

Almost everything about Xenia and Christoph today, but it might entertain you.
It'll take more time tomorrow for the translation.

I
C: Onto the bed.
S: Don’t hesitate to give her all of this.
C: Are you sure it’ll work?
S: You only have to ask her the right questions.
C: Great. I can handle this from here. Good work as usual, Schulz.
S: Good luck.
C: The moment of truth.

II
C: What have you done?
X: What? What do you want? How did I come here? Go away or I’ll scream.
C: What’s wrong, I won’t do anything to you. It seems you fainted while taking a walk.
X: What? Nonsense.
C: Luckily, I found you. You’ve been away for quite a long time. Here, come on. Take a sip. Should I drink?
X: Just give it to me.
C: You seem to have been burning yourself out. You should take it a bit easier on your next hike, we’re not the youngest ones anymore.
X: I shouldn’t have drunk the champagne.
C: Come, get some rest.

III
X: That I’m still so dizzy.
C: I hope nothing’s wrong with your head. Permanent damage.
X: You would like that.
C: We can test it easily. What’s your name?
X: Xenia Saalfeld, don’t play dumb.
C: You’re saying you’re dizzy. I would play safe if I were you. What did we used to like to eat in former times?
X: You mean, when we had an evening for the two of us?
C: Mh.
X: Mussels in white wine broth. But I didn’t like them as near as much you did.
C: You didn’t?
X: I ate them for your sake. And then acted like I was thrilled.
C: You never told me that. But we used to get them when they were really fresh. From Fernando’s father, do you remember? The thing about Fernando.. I’m really sorry for that. And that I kept our children back from you for so long. I wish I could undo it.
X: It’s impossible to ever catch up this time.
C: I know. But I was so hurt, because you cheated on me so many times.
X: Only because you were always away.
C: That’s not true.
X: I loved you. More than anything else on the world.
C: If I only had known back then how much you loved me.
X: You were so cold to me.
C: And that’s why.. your love died. And you hate me nowadays.
X: I hate you, yes. For what you did to me. But I still love you at the same time. I’ll never love a person as much as I love you. You’re the man of my life.

IV
X: And then you took revenge on me like this. And stole my children.
C: And that’s why you now want to take revenge on me.
X: Of course.
C: You put the poison into Tobias Ehrlinger’s bottle. You want me to end up in prison. Say it. Say: I put the poison into Tobias Ehrlinger’s bottle. Say it.
X: I..
F: Mr. Saalfeld, Mrs. Saalfeld.
C: What do you want here?
F: I.. sorry, I thought the cabin would be free.
C: It’s not.
X: I’m sick. I’m sick.
C: Look where she’s going. Hurry up, she doesn’t feel well.

V
C: You’re fast, I give you your due.
X: Hmm, how you smell.
C: Yes, thanks.
X: A different smell than in the past, but still veeery good.
C: Yes, come on, let’s get back to the cabin.
X: Absolutely not, I’m hungry.
C: We’ll get you something. In the cabin.
X: Oh, everything around us smells so good. The trees, the leaves, oh. I’m hungry.
C: We’ll get you something. Come on.
X: No, but I don’t want to. I want.. there.
1: Is there a problem?
C: No, no, everything’s fine.
X: The lovely Mr. Konopka. He could cook something nice for me.
1: What?
X: Well, you’re a cook.
C: Yes, she has had a glass too many. Right, darling?
X: I’m so hungry.
1: Well, it’s already past 12. Something else?
C: Thank you, you can go. Just go. What do you think of that: We’ll eat together, just the two of us.
X: Mussels?
C: I thought you don’t like them.
X: I would also eat mussels for you. Providing, that we’ll eat them in my room.
C: Yes, alright, so, come on.

VI
X: Do you even know how hot you are?
C: I can imagine it rudimentary.
X: You got no clue that I still love you.
C: Xenia..
X: I love you exactly like in former times.
C: What’s that supposed to become? I thought you’re hungry, huh?
X: For you.
C: Yes, but not here, right?
X: Here and now.
C: Come on. Let’s go to your room. It’s much more comfortable, huh?
X: Fine. A kiss as partial payment?
C: Xenia.. Mr. Sonnenbichler.
A: The lift stopped. So I thought I should take a look..
C: Everything’s fine, that was us.
X: Strictly speaking, it was me.
C: Yes. So if you don’t mind, we would like to get out now. So, I, we, somehow..
A: Yes, of course.
X: We still got plans.
C: Xenia.

VII
B: I’ll be soon ready. Should we eat something together then?
T: Yes, I’m starving.
B: Good, I’ll get us something. Your order, please.
T: Two hamburgers, a big portion of fries and chicken wings. Wait, rather three burgers.
B: Alright, I’ll buy the whole store then, I got it. See you later, Tobi.
A: How.. how is he doing? Doctor, here you go, the tulp.
2: Thank you very much.
A: Gladly.
B: He’s acting braver than he is. Well, I slowly can understand my mother that she hates my father so much.
A: Yes.
B: Mr. Sonnenbichler?
A: Yes?
B: Is there something about my parents? Did they fight again? But you know something.
A: More.. the opposite of fighting.
B: The opposite?
A: I saw your parents in the lift.
B: Saw them? Doing what?
A: It looked like your mother tried to kiss your father.
B: What do you mean, it looked like that?
A: Well, they stood very close to each other and then they went together towards the room.
B: You must have seen wrong, Mr. Sonnenbichler.
A: I would wish so.

VIII
C: So.. where did we end?
X: You finally wanted to order something to eat.
C: I already did. I meant, what did we just talk about?
X: About the fact you rather want to talk, but I would like to..
C: Xenia. You still love me.
X: Yes.
C: You’re the only woman who’s fit to hold a candle to me.
X: I’ve always liked your eyes. They’re so soft and tender, even when you’re angry.
C: Why did you put the poison into Ehrlinger’s bottle? Huh? Where did you even get the poison from?
X: Yes, where did the poison even come from?
C: But you did get it.
X: Did I?
C: Yes, you did. But why? Did you want to set me up for the crime?

IX
X: Christoph.
C: Yes. Schulz, which useless stuff was it you gave to me? She’s only brabbling nonsense all the time.
X: Who you’re calling?
C: I’ll soon be back. Yes, I gave her the whole bottle, exactly like you told me to do.
X: I thought we would cuddle now.
C: I’m coming soon. If she would at least fall asleep forever. The show would end for good then.
X: Hello, it’s boring.
C: Of course I wasn’t serious. Now tell me how I make her talk. Damn. Schulz, I’ll call later again.
Xenia. Don’t do something stupid.
X: Do you know what? I believe I can fly.
C: You do?
X: Do you wanna see?
C: Yes. I really would like to see that.

[lindor]

I
X: (A German song) Above the clouds.. freedom must be unlimited.
C: Yes, it surely is.
X: All fears, all sorrows, they say..
B: Mum? What are you doing, are you crazy? Go down there.
X: Boris, my darling, I can fly.
B: Dad, are you up there?
C: Xenia, oh God!
X: Let me go.
B: Hold her tight.
C: We better go inside now.
B: Is everything alright up there?
C: Yes, yes, everything’s great.
B: I’m coming up.
X: Mh, you smell so good.
C: Come on, off to bed.
X: Finally.

II
C: Yes, come in, careful. Let’s light up first. Come, close the door.
B: Yes. Did you drink something?
X: Just a teeny glass of champagne.
B: Breathe on me.
X: Boris, please.
B: I’m calling Dr. Niederbühl now.
X: Michael, he can stay away.
B: Mum, you need a doctor.
X: Leave me alone. Your father and I, we want to..
C: Your mother just has to rest a bit, right? Come on, we’ll go.
B: What have you done to her?
C: Nothing.
B: Why is she so weird then?
C: No idea.
B: She must have taken something. Did you give her something?
C: I kept her from jumping off the balcony.
B: Yes. After I told you to do so.
C: What am I supposed to do when she’s breaking free?
B: So she really wanted to kill herself?
C: You heard what she said, she thought she could fly.
B: Why were you even with her?
C: I found her unconscious in the woods, she probably fell because of her high heels.
B: Probably. And then?
C: I brought her into the next chalet and when she was feeling better, I wanted to bring her in her room.
B: So it’s actually true.
C: What?
B: That you kissed in the elevator, at least almost?
C: Your mother tried to, yes.
B: Tell me..
C: Go ask yourself then!
B: I will when she’s awake again! And then I hope for you that you won’t be stuck with the next complaint!

III
X: What did I do to deserve this?
C: I was such an idiot. I just got it now, what you and I have and how much you still mean to me. You’re the love of my life.
X: I’ve always dreamt of this.
C: Do you want to marry me? For the second time. For eternity now.
X: Yes. I want it so much.
Oh, what’s wrong with me? Oh, oh God.

IV
T: Your mum really wanted to jump off the balcony?
B: Yes, it nearly happened. She was quite confused.
T: She must be if she was trying to kiss your father.
B: It doesn’t make sense at all. They hate each other and her hate is even bigger than his.
T: Maybe she was drunk after all. You don’t smell vodka for example. Hey, you know it, you had one or two glasses too many and old feelings are suddenly coming back.
B: You mean, my mother hates my father so much, because she still loves him in secret?
T: Yes. It was the same with my aunt Vroni. I mean, she had a heavy War of the Roses with my uncle and then, last year, they got engaged again very romantically under the Christmas tree.
B: And why should my mother let out her feelings now of all things?
T: It’s very likely your father will go into prison after the trail. So she got the feeling that she actually won’t see your father for a long time.
B: Sorry, but it sounds totally gaga.
T: Why? Hate, love, hate, love, huh?

C: Well, so much for the serum and its 100% effect.
S: It worked.
C: Yes, I could have really done without this pathetic love declaration. But not a word about the attempt of murder of Tobias Ehrlinger. She was once so close to it.
S: Maybe your wife drank something before or took some medicine?
C: Mutual reactions?
S: Could be.
C: What if she’ll remember everything? If she went to the police, spilled out that I brought her into the chalet and gave her something to drink? If I just had let her jumped off the balcony. But no, my son had to stop by.
S: Pity, yeah.
C: But well, I need Xenia alive. To prove my innocence. I’ll call you.
S: Okay.

V
B: Morning, mum.
X: Hello, Boris.
B: You’re still quite groggy because of yesterday, right? What did actually happen?
X: I’m asking myself the same question.
B: You don’t remember anything, neither about the thing in the elevator?
X: What was in the elevator?
B: You wanted to kiss dad.
X: I wanted to do what?
B: And you nearly jumped off the balcony later.
X: I wouldn’t kill myself.
B: I know it might sound totally weird now, but.. is it possible you’re still feeling something for dad?
X: Are you crazy? After everything he did to me?
B: And you are sure alcohol wasn’t involved?
X: I had a glass of champagne for the breakfast, nothing more. And even if. I would never kiss your father, not to mention jumping off a balcony. Why were I even with him anyway?
B: He found you unconscious in the woods.
X: I was taking a walk and then I woke up in the cabin. And Christoph was there and..
B: And you really can’t remember anything?
X: He gave me a glass of water.
B: And then?
X: Blackout. He drugged me.
B: If that’s really true..
X: Yes, sure, what else?
B: You must definitely do a test then. Maybe you can still detect this stuff. But why should he do something like this, he already got enough trouble with Tobias’ intoxication.
X: Your father wants to chase me into death.

VI
M: Xenia..
X: Hey.
M: What are you doing here?
X: I would like to do a blood test.
M: Why?
X: I wasn’t quite myself yesterday.
M: Well, are you maybe under stress? In the job or private, it can affect the circulation sometimes.
X: I’m more thinking of.. of drugs.
M: And.. what did you consume?
X: Nothing. I guess someone gave me something.
M: You mean purposely, without you noticing it?
X: And I would like to know how what stuff it was.
M: And do you suspect someone?
X: Christoph.
M: Why would your ex-husband want to do something like this to you?
X: He tried to chase me into suicide.

C: Boris, do you got time for a business lunch this noon? Dr. Möhring wants to talk with us about the interim financing. So, what?
B: You give mum drugs so she’ll jump off the balcony and today, you act like nothing happened?
C: I have no idea what was wrong with her.
B: Right, and you didn’t poison Tobias either, huh?
C: That’s exactly the truth. Boris, assuming that I actually gave your mother something and wanted to get rid of her.. Why did I save her then?
B: Because I showed up.
C: You really think I could do this, right?
B: We’ll know when mum is back from the hospital.
C: What is she doing there?
B: She’s doing a drug test, it’s obvious. And then the ball’s in your court.

M: So.. did you already talk to the police?
X: What’s the use? Without evidence. That’s why I want to get tested, as long as something’s still detectable in my body.
M: Fine.
X: Thank you. Can you organize that the test will be examined as soon as possible?
M: Of course, I’ll take care of it.
X: Thank you. I hope they’ll find something. Christoph’s unpredictable. It’s about time this man finally goes to prison.

VII
X: Saalfeld? Yes, yes, I know who you are. From the laboratory. No drugs detectable? But this can’t be true, are you absolutely sure? I see, already reduced, so fast? Whatever, it’s fine, okay. Thank you very much.
C: Can we talk?
X: No.
C: It’s important, please.
X: Don’t come too near to me.
C: I..
X: What do you want?
C: I gave you a serum of truth.
X: Are you out of your mind?
C: The stuff is actually completely harmless.
X: I nearly jumped off the balcony.
C: How should I know you’re already drinking champagne in the morning? It probably was a mutual reaction.
X: Now it’s also my fault after all? You filthy pig, I could have died. I swear to you, I’ll get you.
C: Listen to me.
X: Like hell I will.
C: The.. the serum was very good after all. It worked. You told many things and I recorded it.
X: What could I have told exciting?
C: A few.. interesting truths.

VIII
X: Do you even know how hot you are?
C: I can imagine it rudimentary.
X: You have no idea that I still love you.
C: Xenia..
X: I love you exactly like in former times. Not a word of this is true.
C: You don’t have to be embarrassed.
X: The drugs were speaking.
C: It was a serum of truth, Xenia. So it’s true you still have feelings for me.
X: Dream on.
C: However, it’s not the only truth.
X: What else?
C: I was convinced rock-solidly that you poisoned Ehrlinger and wanted to set me up for this. But you didn’t say anything about this. You’re as much as innocent as I am. It’s very important for me that you’re innocent.
X: Why’s that?
C: You love me.. still. I considered you as my enemy for years. It must have hurt you insanely.
X: Listen, if this is going to be an apology..
C: I know it sounds crazy, but.. I recognized how much you still mean to me. Would you.. give me.. us.. another chance?
