For the "fans" of Christoph and Xenia

I
X: Did you take yourself drugs by accident?
C: I didn’t want to accept it either, but your words shook me up. I listened to them again and again and suddenly I understood everything.
X: You only want me to disburden you in court.
C: I don’t care about the trial right now. I care about you. Xenia, about us.
X: You used to be a better liar, Christoph.
C: I understand that you can’t believe me anymore after all I did to you.
X: It’s great that we at least agree in this point.
C: I thought about it and I think it’s time to make peace. Xenia. We loved each other once.
X: We hate each other, Christoph. And concerning me, I know exactly the reasons for that.
C: I’m sorry. For everything. Forgive me.
X: The fear of going to prison must have really obfuscated your brain, huh? Please spare us this filthy theatre.
C: There’s a fine line between hate and love. Think about that.

II
D: Hey, Boris, what’s up?
B: We must talk urgently. Do you have time? It’s about mum.
D: What’s wrong with her?

X: The tea is lukewarm.
1: I’m very sorry, I’ll get you a new one right away.
X: No, thanks. I’m fed up. Next time you won’t stroll around and give it to me like it’s supposed to be in the first place. Are we clear?
1: Yes.
R: Next time, I’ll order her to personally brew your tea. To be safe.
X: Well, I guess I’m still a bit confused.
R: I heard some certain rumours.
X: Please.
R: Your ex-husband drugged you, is it true? How are you?
X: Disregarding the fact that I thought I could fly and nearly jumped off the balcony, very well. Thanks.
R: Do you think that was his purpose? That you’ll..
X: I think he wanted to make me sign a wrong confession. That I tricked him with the intoxication of Mr. Ehrlinger. But I exactly saw how he put the arsenic into the drinking bottle.
R: If it was some kind of truth serum, have you told him then that I..?
X: Made a wrong statement and just claim you saw it? Fortunately not.
R: An espresso, please.
1: Of course.
X: Sadly, the substance isn’t detectable anymore in my body. The blood test was negative.
R: Christoph isn’t stupid.
X: He’ll try to argue you out of your statement.
R: He can try, the dirty dog shall pay for his actions.
X: Let’s hope then, that Christoph won’t find a loophole anymore at the last second to crawl out of it.

III
D: I just had Boris on the phone.
C: So?
D: Is it true? Did you drug mum?
C: I gave her a serum of truth, yes. I don’t want to deny it.
D: Are you crazy? She nearly jumped off the balcony.
C: I lost sight of her for one moment, but I followed her right away and held her tight.
D: Luckily. Otherwise, you would have had a murder on your conscience. Tell me dad, what’s even wrong with you?
C: Well, it really wasn’t well-thought-out. But I couldn’t think of another way to still prove my innocence.
D: You thought Xenia would confess she poisoned Tobias.
C: Robert Saalfeld’s witness statement is definitely a lie and I was sure Xenia put him up to do so. I didn’t do anything to Boris’ boyfriend.
D: And, did she confess?
C: No, I.. I guess I was wrong.
D: But still.. you can’t do something like this.

IV
D: Mum told you she’s in love with you?
C: I did her wrong.
D: Dad, you can tell a lot of nonsense when you’re on drugs.
C: You do?
D: I heard so.
C: It was a truth serum, Denise. She had no chance to lie. I can’t get it either. After everything I did to her.
D: Maybe the drug had the effect on her that she was thinking she would be in the past. Well, when you still were together, it’s possible.
C: Xenia has feelings for me. And I realized that I also care about her. Look, there was something.
D: E-excuse me?
C: I blocked my feelings out all the time. I didn’t want to accept them.
D: Are you serious?
C: I wished we could have a new beginning. I want to spend the rest of my life with her. And I’ll make her happy this time.
D: Yes, this is.. surprising news. Excuse me..

V
C: You’re even prettier than in the past.
X: Christoph, please. That’s now embarrassing, even by your standards.
C: That’s true, it just slipped out.
X: How should I believe this sudden turnabout?
C: Do you remember when you came to Bichlheim? This incredible night we had together.
X: Where you threatened me after that so I wouldn’t tell Alicia anything.
C: Because it couldn’t be anything that was allowed. Let me make it up again. Take dinner with me tonight. We’ll talk in peace.
X: One dinner.
C: Thank you. That means a lot to me.
X: Let’s see how much I mean to you when you’re finally in prison.

I
T: Tonight? I.. You know it’s not a problem for me to have ten steins, but I’m just not in the mood yet. Right. Next time. Have a great time. Thanks.
B: Sorry. I couldn’t make it earlier. So?
T: I only have to get a prescription.
B: How was the examination?
T: Great. A big progress has been made.
B: Really?
T: Yes, it seems I’m only going to need one crutch in the future.
B: Great.
T: Yeah. Because my great leg is healing in such a great way.
B: I think it’s actually a big progress.
T: There’s no progress. I’m going to have a paralyzed leg for the rest of my life.
B: You’ll learn to cope with it.
T: Stop it.
B: Shall we do something tonight? To get your mind off things.
T: I got physio at 7 pm.
B: After it then.
T: And what?
B: As I assume, you’re not in the mood to go to the fire brigade party, so we could go to the cinema or to a bar. Or we’ll do something comfortable. We’ll go to a restaurant, I’ll invite you. Where are you going?
T: Getting the prescription.
B: I can get it for you. Shall I wait here?
T: You mainly shall leave me alone with your pity.

II
B: He hates you and you know that.
X: I’m not naïve.
B: So why the theatrics?
X: I only want to find out what his purpose is.
B: He wants to lure you into a trap.
X: I want to know in which one. And then I’ll turn the tables.
B: Well, and what if it develops in another direction? You know he’s insanely good at manipulating people.
X: You think that your mother is that lonely and lost so she would forget everything that happened, just because of some nice words?
B: No, but I know it could happen a lot of if he drugged you again.
X: Don’t worry.
B: You should report him instead of having dinner with him.
X: I’ll take care of myself.
B: You nearly fell off the balcony the day before yesterday.
X: Yeah, and the next one falling will be him – into ruin. I promise you that. I’m very glad, Boris, that you’re on my side. It really means a lot to me.

III
P: Hi.
T: Hey. Man, I wouldn’t have thought that physio is so exhausting. Is everything alright? Do you need help? Had a rough day, huh? I wished I would have one of these rough days again. Like something isn’t working or someone makes a stupid remark. But you only know what you had when it’s gone. So, whatever is bothering you, just be pleased, alright? Did the cat got your tongue or what?
P: Luna is dead.

X: Candle light dinner in the rain.
C: Yeah. One bottle of 86er chateau du soleil. I ordered it specifically, please ask the sommelier for it, okay? And some water for me. Thanks.
1: Of course.
C: Do you remember?
X: You ordered it back then when you wanted to impress my parents. I nearly fainted when I saw how much it cost.
C: It was worth the money.
X: It was the same back then. We loved and hated us at the same time.
C: You were especially good at throwing some items at me. I think I still got a scar of it today.
X: Your strength has always been the reconciliation.
C: You were demanding.
X: I still know how I laid by the pool and this helicopter came.
C: Yes. You got mad. Because of disturbance. And you screamed up.
X: Until suddenly rose petals were raining.
C: When you were standing on the balcony yesterday, with the direct risk of death.. something happened then. Something I wouldn’t have believed to come true.
X: You noticed that I still mean a lot to you.
C: A lot.
X: Thank you.
C: I would also like a wine.
1: Gladly.
C: In honor of the occasion.

P: I should have forbidden her to do the damn journey. You just don’t travel being this advanced in pregnancy.
T: But.. she was fine.
P: No, she wasn’t. She was completely stressed.
T: She surely wouldn’t have left if she had sensed that something was wrong with the baby.
P: I even wasn’t allowed anymore to touch her belly. I should have forbidden it.
T: It probably wouldn’t have changed anything. Some things.. just happen.

IV
X: You should have a glass of wine more often.
C: Yeah, you would like that. Sexy by the way.
X: It suits you. A bit of looseness.
C: What do you want to tell me?
X: That you seem to be uptight sometimes.
C: Take that back right away.
X: Otherwise? Oh, it’s exhausting to play the enamored Romeo the whole evening, huh? You’re not doing it badly. But unfortunately.. I’m not that naïve.
C: I don’t play.
X: Don’t think I’m stupid.
C: You didn’t lure me upstairs to turn me down now, did you?
X: No one lured you. Good night.
C: Proposal: We now go inside here, see what will happen and see if we like it.
X: How we would like what?
C: You and me. Like in the past.
X: You should rather tell me what you really want.
C: You currently.
X: You can’t get me that easily.
What do you think?
C: That it’s crazy. Because it feels so good. You feel so good. I yearned so much for you.
X: Me, too.

V
B: Yes?
T: Good croissants from the best baker of Bichlheim.
B: Thanks.
T: I thought I could stop by and distract you from work a bit. And we could plan our day, respectively our overlaps.
B: Okay. Coffee?
T: Yes, please.
B: The physiotherapy seems to be good for you.
T: It was horror. I’m still hurting all over. But.. I had a talk with Paul.
B: The baby.
T: Compared to Paul and Jessica and people who have a really awful fate, I’m still quite fine. Apart from my boyfriend who works too much.
B: Someone has to earn the money, right? Speaking of overlaps.. My break is between 11.30 and 12.45.
T: Oh really? Fine, I’ll think about something for you, Mr. Saalfeld.
B: It only takes a minute.
T: No problem, I’ll hobble out.
B: Fürstenhof. Boris Saalfeld?
T: I love you.
B: Yes. Thanks for your call-back.

X: Oh. Hey.
C: You still look so sweet when you awake in the morning.
X: And you got some more wrinkles. But still very sexy. Did we really do this now?
C: Do you regret it?
X: We won’t tell anyone.
C: At least not for now.
X: Boris will kill me.
C: Yes, but only, because he thinks I poisoned his boyfriend. Hey. I now take a shower and afterwards, you’ll have the choice between breakfast here or I’ll call a chauffeur and we’ll have breakfast on the roof terrace of the Bergleralm with view of the Alps.
X: Wait, wait. It was a fantastic night, that’s out of question. But the whole thing is completely absurd.
C: It’s not absurd. It’s like.. someone.. moved away a curtain. Like we finally arrived home. Do you need more time?
X: Yes.
C: I would like to give you that, but as you know, my days as a free man are numbered.

VI
B : Please don’t tell me now that you hopped to bed afterwards?
X: Keep it down.
B: Mum.
X: I had a great night, it was fun. Period.
B: You act like it’s about any old one-night stand.
X: Yes, because it’s like that somehow.
B: Excuse me, what?
X: I neither lost control nor I fell for his line. I just enjoyed it.
B: He poisoned Tobias, did you forget that? And everything else he did to us?
X: I put that aside for one moment, but now I’m back in fight mode, don’t worry.
B: Why do I not believe you?
X: Boris, it’s a game. I want to see how far he’ll go.
B: Until one is crying.

VII
B : You really don’t want me to take the basket?
T: It’s fine.
B: Do you know what I believe? Deep down in there, she still loves him.
T: Nearly looks like that.
B: Yes. Give me another good reason otherwise. Why should you sleep with someone who you hate so much you rather want to kill him?
T: No idea. The most important thing is that he’ll go to prison. I don’t care about the rest.
B: Yeah. It’s not your mother after all.
T: Well, neither my father fortunately.
B: Oh, come on. Give me the basket.
T: No.
B: I’ll take the blanket at least. It’s total nonsense that you carry the things now, I mean it. Oh, man. Stupid blanket.
T: Like I said. Did you hurt yourself?
B: No.
T: Not that you’ll break your leg. And I would have to nurse you in the end.
B: Very funny.
T: I agree. Fine, you’ll take the basket and I’ll take the blanket. For safety. Oh.
B: You see.

VIII
C: What are you doing here on your own?
X: Thinking.
C: I just wanted to do the same. How are you?
X: I’m wondering how it should go on.
C: Well.. I can tell you. You’ll visit me regularly in prison until you’re fed up with it, which I can completely understand and.. that’s the end of our second chance.
X: You really think that we would have a second chance?
C: The problem is that I can’t really think straight at the moment. Well, at least not rational and reasonable.
X: What’s happening right now?
C: I don’t know.
X: We’re not ourselves.
C: Maybe we are.
X: I might have an idea how we could make it.

IX
X: You probably won’t like my proposal.
C: I’m thankful for every idea.
X: You’re right. If you get sentenced for attempted murder, you’ll must expect 15 years.
C: Do you see a way to help us?
X: Are you ready to make a little sacrifice for us, even if it’s still really fresh and we don’t have a guarantee that it’ll actually work?
C: I’m ready to bring any sacrifice.
X: You’ll make a deal with the prosecutor.
C: Which would be?
X: You’ll admit you poisoned Tobias Ehrlinger.
C: I’m innocent.
X: Which you can’t prove.
X: You’ll admit, make a deal of 7 years and you’ll get out after five. I’ll wait for you so long. I promise.

[lindor]

3075
I
C: I should plead guilty? Even though I got nothing at all to do with the poisoning attack?
X: Which judge would doubt Robert Saalfeld’s statement?
C: Well then, I have to make him to withdraw his statement.
X: But if you convince the judge that you really regret your action, who knows?
C: I certainly won’t get let off with probation.
X: But your sentence will get commuted, otherwise you’ll insist on your innocence and then the judge won’t believe you. Do you agree?
C: I.. I’m going to think about it.

II
D: Our parents did what? No.
B: Yes.
D: Okay, I don’t get it anymore when it’s about the two. Do you?
B: Naw. How do you get on?
D: Good. So, this guy is definitely an Englishman. This here is a Victorian emblem. I definitely need a reference book to find out more about the medals and emblems.
B: Maybe you’ll find something online.
D: Tell me.. Who does this man remind you of?
B: I won’t say it now, but yes, he could be his twin brother.
D: He could, right?
B: Absolutely. Is it from Fabien’s family?
D: You think he looks like Fabien? Seriously?
B: Sorry. So distinctive, so masculine, so attractive. You can only think it’s Joshua.
D: You don’t have to share my opinion.
B: Did you draw it by yourself and made it look old?
D: Why should I draw Joshua?
B: Yes, why would you?
D: Boris, I already told you dozens of times..
B: You’re only colleagues. And friends. I got it.
D: Hey, Annabelle.
A: I want to invite you both to dinner.
B: To invite means.. you’ll pay?
A: Not me. Dad.
B: I’m out then.
A: And Xenia.
B: God. They’re already playing happy family.
A: I see, you also already know it? At first, I thought dad wants to play games with me.
B: Yes, we feel the same.
D: Well, maybe we’ll find out at dinner what’s really going on between them.
B: Without me. Tobias will never be able to walk again.
A: Dad got nothing to do with it.
B: He does. And I can’t wait that he finally get sentenced for that.

III
D: Not for me, thanks.
X: Annabelle.
A: Neither for me.
X: You really could have had a glass. Especially today, huh?
A: I still got work to do.
D: Yes, same for me.
X: Fine. Well, to a nice family dinner then.
C: To the family.
D: Wait. What do you mean with ‘especially today’? Do we celebrate for real that you’re back together?
X: We both think it’s a very nice occasion.
A: Do you want to fool us?
X: Annabelle, I do understand you’re mistrustful. I can nearly believe it myself.
A: Because your supposed feelings are a damn lie.
C: Annabelle, it’s enough.
D: She’s right though. I can well remember what you said about dad a few weeks ago.
X: That was because of a very emotional moment.
D: So?
X: I only got so emotional, because I.. because I still love your father. I know that now.
C: And I didn’t want to realize for too long that I still feel something for your mother.
A: And now everything’s forgiven and forgotten.
C: Of course not right away. But.. we’re on a good way.
D: It’ll be a short one.
A: What Denise wants to say is that you’ll probably have to go to prison soon.
C: Yes, your mother has an idea how to eventually reduce my prison term.
X: So that we won’t be separated for so long again.
A: Let me hear it.
C: Your mother is proposing that I’ll admit the attempted murder.
A&D: What?
D: Why’s that?
A: You’re innocent.
C: Yes, we know that. But I could hope for a more lenient sentence then, because no one else believes me.
A: And you’ll get a cell with a view and a pool for that.
C: I’ll call my lawyer later, so that he can make a deal with the prosecutor.

IV
X: Why do you attack me the whole time? The confession was only Christoph’s decision.
A: After you insinuated him to do so.
X: Yes, because it’s the best solution after all.
D: Dad, if you plead guilty, no one will search for the real culprit anymore. Who’s running on the loose somewhere and is probably planning the next attack on Tobias.
X: That’s nonsense.
A: How do you want to know this?
C: They have a good point. On the other hand, the police thinks I’m guilty anyway.
X: Right. And that’s why Christoph should demonstrate his sorrow.
A: Bravo. If dad accepts your proposal, he’ll stab himself in the back. Your drivel about love is just another trick to finally get rid of dad.
X: Do you also think so? You’re wrong. I want to help your father.
A: Sadly, I’m already finished.
D: Yes, me, too.
V
C: Hey. I’m so sorry.
X: Maybe I deserved this reaction. Who knows.
C: It just surprises them out of nowhere.
X: Why are Annabelle and Denise just so bullheaded? What?
C: Well, I mean, they’re somehow right. I shall get punished for something I didn’t do.
X: We already had this discussion.
C: If we continue with our plan, our daughters won’t understand it. And they’ll blame you that I’m in prison, because it was your idea.
X: So we must better explain it to them.
C: I don’t think it would help.
X: What do you propose instead?
C: That I.. continue to insist on my innocence.

B: It seems to work well with the new splint.
T: Yes, I’m thrilled.
B: Hey, the main thing is that the fracture is cured. And it helps you walking.
T: It does.
B: Your parents annoy you, huh?
T: It’s just always the same with my father. The only thing he cares about now is if I can even take over the farm.
B: He just can’t change himself.
T: But he knows I wanted to be a fire-fighter and nevertheless, he brings up the topic all the time.
B: Don’t get angry. I have to get back to the hotel.
T: I know.
B: What are your plans for today?
T: My schedule is completely full. I must go to the substance abuse counseling.
B: By taxi.
T: I wanted to take a little walk and break in the new splint.
B: Already on the first day? Don’t you want to take it a little bit slower at first?
T: I won’t beat any speed records with this thing.
B: I could take a day off and accompany you.
T: You’re really doing a great job as nurse, but I think I can do it.
B: Really?
T: Yes.
B: Take care of you.
T: I will. Get lost now.
B: Yes.

II
B: Tonight?
X: That’s right.
B: If it’s not an unbelievable bad joke, it can only mean you completely lost your mind now.
X: Love is a mystery, we’ll never fully understand it.
B: Did dad drug you again?
X: I can understand you. I couldn’t have imagined it myself until recently.
B: Mum, if he blackmails you or something like this, tell me. We’ll manage to bring him into prison together.
X: I’m convinced by now that Christoph got nothing to do with Tobias’ poisoning.
B: Sure, there’s no explicit witness statement after all.
X: Listen to me.
B: He committed so many crimes and always managed to save his damn neck. But that he’s now managing to also twist you around his finger, is really adding insult to injury. He destroyed your whole life. Have you completely forgotten?
X: No, of course not. But Tobias and you, you also had hard times and now you’re happy again.
B: You seriously want to compare this?
X: Boris. I hope you’ll attend the wedding.
B: Forget it.

C: She even admitted she manipulated Robert Saalfeld.
A: She actually convinced him to testify against you?
C: Yes. And now she wants to call him off, but Robert wants to stick to his statement. Because he’s hoping to get rid of me like this. My only hope is that Xenia admits in court, out of full love, that she incited him to the lie.
A: Oh, dad. That’s totally complicated. That’s a whole new side of you. You’re more.. straight.
C: It’s a pure act of desperation.
A: Yeah. And a quite high price to have to marry Xenia.
C: It’s not my plan to stay married to Xenia for a long time.
A: Still. What have you gotten yourself into?
C: Hey.. will you help with the wedding preparations?
A: Romance, roses, violinist? Oh, dad.

III
A: Yes, I know it’s rapid. What’s your normal salary for wedding photos? You’ll get twice as much from me. How does that sound? I knew we would agree. Okay, thank you. Goodbye.
T: For God’s sake.
A: Tobias? Can I help you? Ìs it okay? Carefully. Man. What are you doing here?
T: I..
A: Shouldn’t you lay on the sofa at home and take a rest?
T: I wanted to surprise Boris in the hotel and have lunch with him. My phone fell then and I lost balance.
A: Should I call a doctor?
T: No way. It’s fine, thanks.
A: Wait. I’ll accompany you.

IV
A: It would be really better for you to take a quick break. Believe me. Come on.
T: It’s not necessary, but if you insist on it..
A: Shouldn’t I inform Boris after all?
T: No. He.. he got enough to deal with.
A: I thought you wanted to have lunch with him? Here.
T: He wanted me to lay on the sofa all day. I don’t want to have to listen to something again.
A: He would drop everything to rush to you right away.
T: Yes, I know. That’s exactly what I don’t want.
A: You know, Tobias: My brother is a very loyal person. He would never let down a disabled person. Yeah, even if he imagined his life in a completely different way. Well. Most people only care about other’s appearance. It’s important to them that their partner has a good figure, is athletic, attractive. But Boris is different in that point. He also cares about personal qualities. And he’s facing up to such a challenge and doesn’t just run away.
T: Sure.
A: And you now need help and support. That’s clear. Hey, hey, hey.
T: What are you doing?
A: The right thing. You’ll see. Boris? It’s me, Annabelle. Could you please come to the park right away? Your boyfriend doesn’t feel good at all.

V
R: Oh, is that your new wedding outfit?
X: It’s nice when good news spread around this fast.
R: I tried to call you dozens of times. What kind of nonsense is this?
X: I got my reasons.
R: This wedding is a charade. And I want to know what you’re planning.
X: There’s no single reason for concerns. You’ll make your statement and Christoph will rot in his cell afterwards. And everything’s working like planned.
R: This wedding wasn’t planned. I want to know what you’re up to?
X: First of all, I want.. to talk about it more quietly.

A: Well, and the champagne reception will take place here afterwards.
C: You’ll let it get decorated a bit more, right?
A: Dad. Of course. You’ll be pleased.
C: Fine. I invited some business partners. Even though, hardly anyone can come so rapidly. Well, whatever, the main thing is it won’t be just three of us partying.
A: Does it mean that Boris and Denise won’t come?
C: Denise doesn’t know it yet, hard to say, and Boris won’t come for sure.
A: Did you talk to him?
C: Xenia talked to him.
A: Well, between Boris and his lover..
C: What?
A: The lovebirds seem to have problems.
C: I see? Glad to hear that.
A: Yes, I thought so. As long as you won’t talk in court like this..
C: To believe that I was the one poisoning Ehrlinger is totally idiotic.
W: And instead in the restaurant, the ladies and gentlemen.. want to dine here today.
C: Who wants to dine here today?
W: The ladies and gentlemen of the silver wedding we got in house.
C: Well, they have to go somewhere else, into the rose room.
W: It’s already reserved.
C: It’s also already reserved here.
W: Whatever your plans are. The celebrating couple are regular guests, they’ll have the party here.
C: ‘m going to marry here today.
W: What was that? Who’s this insane and would like to marry you?
C: The list of applicants is long, but I chose Xenia. My 45% and her 10% make 55% together. So we got the majority and you got nothing much to say anymore.
W: It’s going to be a fantastic marriage out of prison.
C: Wait for it, my dear.

R: I’m listening?
X: I got access to Christoph’s shares as his wife.
R: Why should he get into something like this? Something must be wrong.
X: The fool thinks that I love him so much that I would do anything so he wouldn’t have to go to prison.
R: And how should it work?
X: I shall make you to withdraw your statement or optionally I shall admit that I incited you to do so.
R: It’s getting more and more adventurous.
X: You should be glad. You must prefer me a thousand times more as business partner.
R: You can do everything you want when you got the majority of the shares and it wasn’t agreed like that.
X: Don’t worry. I’m not so mean after all.
R: You should have talked to me about that before.
X: Trust me. We both will have what we want in the end.
R: Yeah? So why do I feel like the stupid victim here?
X: The victim will be Christoph in the end. Just believe me.

VI
B: Here. It’s your favorite sausage on it.
T: Thank you.
B: I shouldn’t have left you alone.
T: It’s enough now.
B: I took off the rest of the day.
T: Man, I just fell and didn’t get hurt heavily.
B: The doctor said you should take it slowly, do you remember?
T: Yes. My brain’s still working well compared to my leg, thanks.
B: Hey, I understand you’re angry, but don’t take it out on me please, okay?
T: Thank you for the bread. But it would be great if I could eat them now without a preachment, right?

VII
B: Where do you wanna go?
T: To the bathroom.
B: Alright. I’ll help you. Don’t freak out now, it’s only a proposal, but..
T: What?
B: Maybe I should move in with you for a while. What do you think? So that I’m quickly here if you need me. Well, only if you want that.
T: I’m not a damn nursing case.

[lindor]

3078
I
B: Hey, wait. I’ll help you. When you love someone, you care about him. That’s totally normal. And it’s got nothing at all to do with pity.
T: But maybe with a bad conscience, huh? Well, I owe this to your father after all.
B: But that’s not my fault.
T: Exactly. And that’s why it’s not a reason to be with me anymore.
B: What are you saying?
T: I totally understand. You want to enjoy the high life. Going out, partying, meeting people. It’s a thousand times better than nursing a cripple at home.
B: That’s not what I do.
T: But you might do it soon.
B: Everything I wanted the whole time and what I still want now is to help you. Why can’t you see this?
T: Could you stop the damn mopping for one second? I just can’t hear it anymore! Keep attention to this and that! The doctor said to keep it slowly. It’s getting my goat! I don’t want to be mothered by you!
B: Alright. I got it. If your self-pity is gone, you know where to find me.

II
X: Oh. You, you know that it brings bad luck when you see the bride before the marriage, right?
C: The bad luck already happened.
X: What’s the matter?
C: I’m awfully sorry, darling. We have to postpone the wedding, the registrar is sick.
X: I was so excited.
C: We only postpone the wedding until the registrar is fit again. Or until I found a substitute. It won’t change anything between us, right?
X: About what?
C: Well, you’re still going to testify for me in court?
X: It’s only my turn the day after tomorrow.
C: So?
X: It means we still got the whole day tomorrow to marry. We’ll surely find another registrar. I would just feel more comfortable if I took the stand as your wife.
C: I’ll do everything in my power.
III
B: I never saw him that aggressive.
Ti: I thought he picked up courage again lately.
B: Well, it didn’t last long. Tobias is totally secluding himself. I’m lost.
Ti: I can understand him though, after everything that happened to him.
B: I would like to help him, but how am I supposed to do that when he doesn’t let me near him. And even doubts my love.
Ti: He must completely reorganize his life. It won’t happen overnight.
B: Yes, but instead of accepting my help, he’s rejecting me. If it goes on like this, then..
Ti: Just imagine it had happened to you. You’re a young athletic man and from one day to the next, you always need help with everything you do. That undermines the self-worth.
B: I don’t care at all if he’s disabled or not.
Ti: But Tobias cares about that.
B: It was naïve of me to think it would go on as before.
Ti: You just have to give him some time.
B: Yes, but.. He’s not alone and that would be the most important thing for me at this point.
Ti: For you. But it’s about him.

T: One moment. Yes.
R: Hey.
T: Hey.
R: Isn’t Paul here yet?
T: Well, no.
R: It doesn’t matter, so we can chat a bit. Huh?
T: Romy, that’s.. I just..
R: Tobias? You fought so hard to get over this compulsive gambling. Please don’t ruin that now again for yourself.
T: Everything’s fine, I haven’t played, alright?
R: I.. I know you have a very hard time at the moment.
T: You don’t say.
R: You’ll make it. You (Boris and him) will make it. That you got Boris standing by your side; that’s the biggest gift you can even imagine. Like he’s supporting you.
T: The question is for how long.
R: He loves you.
T: Yet.
R: What do you mean?
T: When we got to know each other.. I was active, fun-loving, I had plans. We had plans. We were equal. And now I’m his patient. And he’s my nurse who has to mother me. He might still do it out of love for now, but..
R: I don’t believe this, you’re doing him wrong.
T: He’ll only do it because of a bad conscience sometime. Because his father is the one to blame for everything.
R: That’s nonsense, it’s what you tell yourself.
T: I’m a realist. He’ll hate me sometime.
R: You can’t even think so.
T: I’m the ball and chain who prevents him to have a nice life.

IV
C: You’ll see, Robert Saalfeld is going to withdraw his statement.
1: The prosecution wouldn’t hold anything over your head then anymore. Let’s hope he’ll do it.
C: And without the principal prosecution witness, the accusation will collapse like a house of cards.
Ju: I’m now opening the sitting. The criminal case against Mr. Christoph Saalfeld is called for attempted murder of Mr. Tobias Ehrlinger.

D: Our parents didn’t get married yesterday at least. I hope it’s no longer an issue then.
B: When you’ll go in there in a bit, please tell the truth.
A: Of course.
B: He was against Tobias and our relationship right from the beginning. He hates him and is totally homophobic.
A: God, don’t overexaggerate now. It’s not the big Italian opera here, it’s the court.
B: He wanted to fire us. He humiliated and insulted me again and again. And he even said that he wished I would never have been born. Because I’m gay.
A: Dad had a problem with Tobias’ compulsive gambling. And that’s understandable after the whole story with grandpa Gottfried. Boris, he just cares about you.
B: Tell me, have you been at the Fürstenhof in the last few weeks or somewhere in your parallel universe?
D: Calm down now. Annabelle, you know dad was against Boris’ relationship. And that he doesn’t like gays, I mean, he never kept that a secret.
A: May I remind you that you’ll give dad a motive when you’re saying something like this in court?
D: Yes, but..
A: Think for once. Do you want that? It would be the best if you used your right to refuse to give evidence. You’re prejudiced, so you don’t have to say anything. And you won’t put him further in a bad situation.
B: And who else should have a motive to damage Tobias? Huh?
A: Who knows which enemies he got through his compulsive gambling.
B: Annabelle, finally wake up! Dad doesn’t want his son to be with a man and he uses all the tools he got. We’re talking about attempted murder here. Tobias nearly died, he will never walk right again. Do you really want dad to go through with that?
A: Are all gays so theatrically?
D: Annabelle, it’s enough.
A: Boris, it can’t be your wish that dad goes into prison being innocent.
B: He’s not innocent.
A: You don’t have the slightest proof against him.
2: So, Boris Saalfeld is next, please.

V
Ju: How’s your personal relationship to your father?
B: It was quite well before my outing. I liked to work with him. But since I got outed, he’s rejecting me. And that he sabotages my relationship all the time, it’s getting me down.
Ju: In what way does he sabotage your relationship?
B: He humiliated and mocked us all the time.
Ju: Give me a concrete example so that I can imagine it.
B: We had a breakdown on the road the other day. And he drove by. We waved and he also stopped, rolled down the window, but then.. he just drove on. Even though we had a mission with the voluntary fire brigade.
Ju: It’s not possible he just didn’t see you?
B: No, I’m sure.
Ju: So your father didn’t want to see you and Mr. Ehrlinger together?
B: He wanted at all costs that I let Tobias down and that he vanishes from the Fürstenhof.
Ju: What do you think, why did your father react like this?
B: He thought that when Tobias would be gone that I would have been cured from my homosexuality. He hates gays.
Ju: How do you know?
B: He kept saying it again and again. And his behavior towards the both of us is.. quite clear. Tobias is the love of my life. And it won’t change. No matter what happens.

[lindor]

I
D: Of course there have been disputes. But I don’t doubt that my father loves my brother.
Ju: You didn’t answer my question though. Would you describe your father as homophobic? Yes or no?
D: Well.. He wasn’t really glad that Boris is gay and has a boyfriend.
Ju: Quiet.

II
A: Homophobic? My father?
Ju: Your sister apparently feels differently.
A: Yes, my father has his own type of humor. Maybe a bit more ribald, more macho, if you know what I mean.
Ju: So your father does snide jokes about homosexuals?
A: It can happen. These types of knee-slappers you’re telling on the regular’s table. But it’s absolutely nothing serious behind that.
Ju: So you don’t think your father has a problem with the homosexuality of your brother?
A: Absolutely not. But he indeed had a problem with the compulsive gambling of Boris’ boyfriend.

III
B: Thank you for sticking to the truth. Annabelle surely is presenting him as the great friend of gays.
D: Who he simply isn’t.
B: He didn’t even really look at me.
D: Who? Dad?
B: He had liked to rip me apart with his look. I mean Tobias.
D: Why’s that?
B: We had a huge fight.
D: Because? Boris, if you don’t wanna talk about it, then..
B: I just would like to be there for him.
D: It’s just too much for him right now.
B: Yes, and that’s why he’s rejecting me. I do have understanding for it, but that’s no reason for using me as a doormat. Dad now managed it after all to pull us apart.
D: I can’t imagine that. Boris, give him time. It’s totally normal after such a stroke of fate. Be there for him, but don’t overwhelm him.
B: That’s easy to say.
D: I didn’t say it would be easy.

IV
Ju: Please, I’m all ears.
Al: Well, the dismissal back then, it happened because of a bagatelle. At least from the view of the worker’s council.
Ju: But you thought it happened because of other reasons?
Al: Yes.
Ju: Could you be more specific?
Al: We got the impression that the two gentlemen got dismissed because of their relationship to each other.
Ju: Let’s get to the day of the accident. Did you see the accused on that day?
Al: Yes.
Ju: If you could go a bit more into detail..
Al: Well, I saw Mr. Saalfeld at work. I brought him the mail, we talked about the bookings, about the shortage of the bellboys.
Ju: We don’t need more concrete information, thank you. Did you notice something in particular?
Al: Noticed? No. I mean.. Yes, I was a bit shocked how cold and almost amused Mr. Saalfeld’s reaction was about the accident of Mr. Ehrlinger.
Ju: Quiet.

V
C: Yes, I admit I have a problem with the relationship between my son and Mr. Ehrlinger. But definitely not because of their homosexuality.
Ju: But?
C: Because of Mr. Ehrlinger’s compulsive gambling. My father was gambling and ruined the whole family back then. That’s why we sadly aren’t in contact nowadays.
Ju: Mr. Saalfeld, please shorten that. It’s not a therapy session here.
C: I just worried about my son. Particularly, addicts like Mr. Ehrlinger also tend to violence.
Ju: I see? Were there indications for that?
C: Yes, Mr. Ehrlinger knocked me out in the lobby of my hotel.
T: You exactly know why!
Ju: Quiet! You’ll have the possibility to give your opinion in a bit.
T: It’s just absolutely..
Ju: Mr. Ehrlinger. Please sit down again.

VI
X: Mr. Saalfeld, there you are. Was it already your turn?
R: No, it’s my turn in the afternoon.
X: What did you tell your wife?
R: The truth.
X: Why? We agreed it would stay between us.
R: Do you even realize how stressed I am because of you?
X: Yes, I can imagine that, but.. think about the grand finale.
R: I risk that my marriage falls apart because of you.
X: It won’t. Mr. Saalfeld, it’s a one-time chance. If you back down now after all..
R: Christoph Saalfeld will still be found guilty then. If he really tried to poison Mr. Ehrlinger, it’ll be exposed sooner or later.
X: Nonsense.
R: There are still other ones who’ll testify, right?
X: Yes, but they didn’t see what you’ve seen. Well, fine, what I’ve seen. But it’s still the same.
R: No, it isn’t. It’s not the same. Because I haven’t seen it.
X: Like you wouldn’t have known that before. Christoph was accused because of the matter with Alicia and Viktor back then. Accused of blackmail, abduction and weapons possession. And, is he jailed for that?
R: No.
X: Exactly. Because he always gets away. Because he got his people everywhere. Because he compels, blackmails and pays everyone off and.. Please. We finally have to put a stop to his game. A bit of marital quarrel is nothing compared to the chance to get rid of Christoph for good.

Ju: Mr. Saalfeld claims you knocked him down.
T: Yes, but I had a good reason to do so.
Ju: I’m always interested in a good reason for an assault.
T: Well, Boris and I had a break-down and Mr. Saalfeld just passed us.
Ju: Mr. Saalfeld says he didn’t see you.
T: Of course he saw us, he even opened the window a bit and gave the driver a sign to continue driving.
Ju: He wasn’t obliged to take you with him, was he?
T: It was an emergency.
Ju: Which he couldn’t know of to that time, right?
T: Boris yelled quite loudly that we had to go to a mission.
Ju: Quiet, gentlemen, please. Why did you even get into gambling again?
T: Christoph Saalfeld set his daughter Annabelle on me. She was meant to seduce me to play poker.
Ju: What do you think was his purpose by that?
T: He wanted Boris to become angry when he finds out to leave me then. When it didn’t work, he bantered me for the match about the debts. And yes, Boris was mad at me, because I gambled again, but he forgave me and still stands behind me.
Ju: Mr. Ehrlinger.
T: And that’s why, because nothing worked for him, this man tried to kill me!
Ju: Mr. Ehrlinger.
T: Is that so hard to understand?
Ju: Mr. Ehrlinger! We’ll calm down now.

VII
1: Oh, hi Tobi. How are you?
T: Everything’s alright. Do you know where Paul is? I left my key in the apartment.
1: Well, he’s just doing abs, legs and buns.
T: Thanks.
B: Tobi, wait a moment. And, how did it go?
T: Great.
B: What happened?
T. I now look like a complete idiot.
B: What? Why?
T: Because I’m now the accuser and not your dad. Because of the compulsive gambling.
B: Excuse me?
T: He just gets away with everything. We just don’t stand a chance against someone like him.
B: But it only was the opening hearing.
VIII
C: I almost felt sorry for him.
X: You?
C: Well, how the boy cut himself up in the courtroom, in the witness stand.
X: So it went well?
C: Absolutely so far, yes.
X: However, Robert Saalfeld hasn’t made his statement yet.
C: Yes, everything depends on his statement. Of course only to that point where you relativize it. Which you’ll do, right?
X: Sure. But.. we don’t have another appointment yet.
C: Yes, I’m still waiting for the call-back of Mrs. Wiener.
X: I can take over that if you like.
C: No, you.. Don’t worry. We’ll marry.
X: I’m excited.

IX
W: Oh, excuse me, Mr. Sommer. I’ll be back with you soon. Robert?
R: Yes?
W: Are you going to the court?
R: Yes, I’m heading there now. I saw Boris with his boyfriend earlier.
W: So?
R: Christoph doesn’t only destroy Tobias Ehrlinger’s life, he’s also taunting him in court.
W: So it stays this way, you’re going to testify against him?
R: If I only knew that.
W: Robert, it would be the only right thing to do.
R: It’s not according to Eva.
W: So what?
R: It’s about my marriage here.
W: A little quarrel, it’ll pass.
R: You got experience there.
W: You’re right. Now it’s important to nail Christoph. Everything else will put it right, believe me.

X
Ju: You said that you have seen how Christoph Saalfeld filled something into Tobias Ehrlinger’s bottle. Or haven’t you seen it now after all? You know you must tell the truth here, right Mr. Saalfeld?
R: I’m aware of that, yes.
Ju: So? Mr. Saalfeld?
R: Yes?
Ju: I’m waiting.
R: Yes, it was like this.
Ju: If you could please confirm that in a whole sentence.
R: I have seen how Christoph Saalfeld filled something into Tobias Ehrlinger’s bottle.

[lindor]

3080
I
Ju: How did you come to witness Christoph Saalfeld?
R: I sat in the suite next to the front desk and when I stood up to get a pen from the counter, I noticed that the bureau door was a bit open.
Ju: And that’s not normal?
R: What?
Ju: That the door is open.
R: Usually not. That’s why I made sure that everything’s alright.
Ju: And then you’ve seen how Christoph Saalfeld filled something in a drinking bottle?
R: Yes.
C: That’s a lie, a damn lie!
Ju: We’ll let the witness speak. Please, continue. Thanks.
R: I didn’t even worry about it at first, it’s not really suspicious. I only was a bit irritated about the dinosaur motive on the bottle. In the beginning, I didn’t even know it’s Ehrlinger’s bottle. Until the police searched for it.
Ju: Was someone else in the lobby?
R: No, the bellboys escorted some guests out and helped them with the suitcases.
Ju: And the concierge?
R: Outside, too. Said goodbye to some regular customers.
Ju: So no one can witness your presence in the lobby in due time?
R: I don’t think so, no. But I know what I’ve seen.

II
1: Let’s hope that the hearing tomorrow will be better.
C: Yes, I also hope so.
1: Mr. Saalfeld.
A: I’m so sorry.
C: That no one in this dump notices that Robert Saalfeld is a lying so-and-so.
A: You shouldn’t have only bet at Eva Saalfeld’s feelings.
C: I was sure she would talk her husband into withdrawing the statement.
A: What does your lawyer say?
C: You know what. It doesn’t look good. The last chance is Xenia.
A: You pull the wedding through after all?
C: Xenia must testify tomorrow that she incited Robert Saalfeld to the statement, otherwise.. Yes, I’m screwed otherwise.
A: Do you really think she’ll do that?
C: She would do everything for me.
A: Because she confessed her love to you under the influence of this truth serum?
C: Exactly that.
A: Let’s hope then that she’ll never discover that you’re just fooling her with your rekindled love. The divorce will be expensive otherwise. Come on.

III
X: Christoph, how did it go?
C: Robert pulled his lie trough in court. And the judge seems to have no doubt about his statement.
X: Wow, what have I done?
C: Well, don’t blame yourself. If you testify tomorrow that you incited him to this statement, then.. everything will be alright again. They can’t harm you. A fine at the very most and I would take over that of course.
X: Thank you for not holding a grudge against me.
C: What? Hey, darling, I love you. And I trust you. And I can’t wait to take you as my wife for the second time tomorrow.
X: Does it mean that Mrs. Wiener got time at short notice?
C: She called me back. And she would marry us here tomorrow morning. Well, only if you still want to, of course.
X: Yes, Christoph. I do.

IV
D: Ta-da.
B. Te-hee.
D: You expected Tobias.
B: Dad beat him up in the court room so hard, he doesn’t want to be with anyone right now.
D: I thought it was you I had to cheer up because of your statement.
B: Yeah, it’s not very easy at the moment.
D: Yes, and that’s why I thought, we’ll cook something. And it’s spaghetti bolognese. Our comfort eating from former times. By the way: it doesn’t only help when it’s about broken knees.
B: What do you suppose what is in the pot?
D: Bolo.
B: Right. I made it for Tobias and me.
D: It seems that dad has to really go into prison this time. Well, after Robert Saalfeld testified as a witness.
B: But it won’t help Tobias. Well, the bolo would be already done, so if you would like to..
D: Fine. I’ll make the spaghetti then.
B: Yes. But al dente.
D: Whoah, only because I boiled them away one time.
B: Exactly.
D: Pot.

V
B: But it means you don’t know what’s on the second missing part?
D: That’s the right question.
B: I think the most plausible theory is that the officer was knighted.
D: But it sadly doesn’t mean that it’s true.
B: I think we should investigate more. If he really was an Englishman, we should begin there and fly to London. Yes, you can deduct it from the tax and I’ll work for you as assistant.
D: Good idea. By the way, your sauce was brilliant.
B: Your noodles, too. Not too hard, not too tight. Not too soft. Simply al dente.
D: I’m relieved then. But you can dry off instead.
B: I hate drying off.
D: No moaning, do it. I won’t take you to London otherwise.
B: This isn’t over.
D: Boris, do you still know?
B: In front of the big mirror in the bedroom. You with the hairbrush.
D: We bellowed as loud as we could.
Both: It’s nice to be on earth. When the sun is shining for big and small.

VI
D: I don’t want no chocolate. I rather want a man. I want someone who can kiss me and twist me around his finger. Yes, eight out of ten points, I won.
B: I want a revanche.
D: You’ll get one, Boris. Next week. I really must go to bed.
B: Yes, of course. You don’t really mean that.
D: I want to give you more time to practice so you might have a chance.
B: I know why you’re my favorite sister.
D: It really was a nice evening.
B: Yes, that’s true. Get home safe.
D: Good night.
B: And sleep well.
D: You, too.
Boris singing.
T: I got the order to build this up.
B: The sheik will be here soon. It’s unbelievably important for the hotel.
T: And my job is unbelievably important for me.
B: Now let go of this thing.
T: No.
B: Man.
T: You’re really daft.
B: Likewise.

R: I’m sorry. I didn’t want to rouse you.
T: I was awake anyway.
R: Is that Boris?
T: Our song. Paul is in his room, he surely is excited to see you.
R: Boris would also be excited if you go up to him.
T: Maybe.
R: He misses you.
T: If I go up, we’ll only fight again.
R: That’s up to you.
T: I can’t even stand myself anymore. I’m angry and unfair. No one can stand something like this.

VII
2: And so I’m asking you, Christoph Saalfeld, do you want take Xenia Saalfeld as your wife? To love and honor her, until death do you part? Please answer with a yes then.
C: Yes, I do.
2: And so I’m also asking you, Xenia Saalfeld, do you want to take your ex-spouse again as your husband? To let him bleed for everything he did to you? To gut and destroy him? So that he’ll rot behind bars for all time until death will release him? Please answer with a yes then.
X: Oh yes, I do.
2: The rings? By the power vested in me, I now declare you to be husband and wife. You may kiss the bride now.

[lindor]

3081
I
X: Thank you, darling.
C: Annabelle.
A: I’ll get that. Thank you. Here.
X: Thank you.
A: I wish you all the best to the wedding. Both of you, you surprise me again and again.
C: To our future.
X: Hopefully forever this time. Ops, I got the one without alcohol.
C: And I got yours.
A: Oh, sorry.
C: No problem.
A: So, when I see you together like this; you really belong together.
X: Thank you, Annabelle. It means a lot to me.
A: If dad is found not guilty tonight, and I strongly believe that, we’ll finally become a happy family again.
C: You think so?
A: Boris and Denise are also wishing for that, deep inside of them. We all have yearned for that for so long. And.. I’m sorry that I wasn’t nice to you sometimes.

II
D: Maybe the both of them really rediscovered their love for each other.
B: Sure, and the pope suddenly supports gay marriage. Mom and dad hate each other and suddenly they want to marry? In the middle of his trial?
D: It surely has something to do with the trial. Dad’s lawyer summoned mom as a witness.
B: I think dad would do everything so that he won’t get jailed.
D: You mean mom should disburden him?
B: A wrong alibi or he gave her a million euros so that she’ll take the blame, what do I know.
D: I just can’t imagine that he wanted to kill Tobias. Apropos Tobias. How is he? Could you talk again to each other? He certainly will come today, Boris. I mean, it’s about the sentence after all.
B: If dad really is the culprit, this absurd wedding won’t help him either.

III
A: So? Did Xenia buy my performance?
C: You were perfect. She was so touched.
A: And.. that’s enough for her to save you from prison?
C: You pushed exactly the right buttons.
A: The desire for the healthy family.. well, that’s her weak spot.
C: Yes, who would have thought so? Xenia and I are getting married again. Hard to believe. And later, Xenia is going to explain in the court that Robert Saalfeld’s statement is just made up. And I’ll be free.

IV
T: Do you want to drink something?
D: No, thanks. You’re baking?
T: Yes, for Romy’s birthday. It’s like a tradition between us.
D: That’s sweet indeed. Can I help you somehow?
T: My leg is paralyzed, not my hands.
D: I didn’t mean it that way.
T: Besides, it’s distracting me.
D: From the trial? Or from Boris?
T: I heard him singing yesterday.
D: Yes, I distracted him a bit and then we did karaoke. He misses you a lot.
T: I know. He sang our song.
D: Why do you keep him this distant? You do love each other, Tobias.
T: The question is how long it’ll last for Boris. We can’t do anything fun anymore. No missions, no hike, no sport. He’ll must always consider me.
D: Tobias.
T: I’m a cripple. He deserves something better.
D: It’s not your leg which is making him unhappy, but it’s you rejecting him like that.
T: I’m just reasonable.
D: No, you’re stupid. The man you love, also loves you. Unconditionally. Do you even know how incredibly lucky you are? Yes, other persons yearn for the wrong person eternally who they’ll never get.
T: Are you talking about you?
D: Boris is on his way to the trial. To fight for you, against his own father. Does it mean nothing for you? My brother won’t give up on you. Don’t throw it away just like that.

C: Good morning. For the woman who makes me the happiest man on earth. Hey. My darling. Today’s your day.
A: Surprise.
B: Happy Mother’s Day.
D: We love you so much.
X: Oh, you’re crazy.
Yes?
R: I heard about your wedding. And that you shall testify for Christoph in a bit.
X: You can still rely on me.
R: I’m risking my marriage right now to bring this guy into prison.
X. My wedding got nothing to do with our plans.
R: If you lie to me.. and I’ll get prosecuted of false statement, then..
X: I just said you can still rely on me.
R: Fine, we’ll meet in court then.

V
Ju: The witness Xenia Saalfeld, please.
1: Mrs. Saalfeld, please.
Ju: Please have a seat. You’re Xenia Saalfeld, residing in Bichlheim, Hotel Fürstenhof. You’re running there a beauty salon, is that right so far?
X: Yes.
Ju: You were married to the accuser and have four children together.
X: And since today, Christoph and I are married again.
Ju: I didn’t know that, congratulations.
X: Thank you.
Ju: You have the right to remain silent as the wife of the accuser, if you wish so.
X: I want to testify.
Ju: You’re obliged to tell the truth. You’ll become guilty otherwise.
X: Yes.
Ju: Mr. defender, it’s your witness.
2: Mrs. Saalfeld, there were accusations made yesterday against my client which you can invalidate?
X: Yes. Robert Saalfeld said he saw my husband how he put the poison into the drinking bottle of Mr. Ehrlinger.
2: But that’s not true?
X. I incited Robert Saalfeld to this false statement.
Ju: Mrs. Saalfeld?
X: I’m sorry, Christoph. But I can’t do this.
Ju: What can’t you do?
X: Lying in court. I really wanted to help you, but I just can’t.. I just can’t do it. I’m sorry.

VI
X: Sorry. Christoph played loving me again, but.. the truth is you don’t love me. I only shall lie for you in court. To show that Robert Saalfeld’s statement is wrong. But he saw you.
C: You damn..
Ju: Stay seated. Any more questions, Mr. defender?
2: No further questions.
Ju: Thanks, you’re released. The court will deliberate now.

VII
C: How could I underestimate Xenia like that?
A: And now?
C: My lawyer’s council is to make a confession.
B: I also give you that council. Then you might at least have the slightest chance to not get the maximum penalty.
C: Even if you don’t believe it, I didn’t poison your boyfriend.
B: Oh, suddenly he’s my boyfriend? Are you afraid to call him a damn faggot in public?
A: Stop it.
B: I don’t get how you can still stick by him. His show’s over, he should rather admit everything. Or do you have another absurd plan like the wedding with our mother?
C: No. But I’m innocent. That’s why I can’t.. and won’t confess.

P: You’re here?
T: Where else should I be?
P: Well, in court. Your case is dealt with after all.
T: They can also do it without me.
P: You don’t want to know if Christoph gets sentenced?
T: I do, but.. I’ll meet Boris then. Well, his father might go to prison because of me.
P: So, if Christoph goes to prison, he’ll must blame himself for that.
T: Yes, but..
P: And Boris knows that. He’s fully on your side and you also know that.
T: Denise said that, too.
P: Tobi, go there. If Boris’ dad gets to be found guilty, he’ll need you. Is this one for Romy?
T: Yes.
P: I also wanted to bake her one, but my baking skills aren’t even enough for muffins.
T: We’ll just say it’s from both of us. Because you’ll finish decorating it and I’ll go the court. Thank you.
P: For what?
T: For kicking my ass.

VIII
R: The prosecutor seems to be in a good mood.
X: Unlike my children.
Ju: The following sentence is made on behalf of the people. Christoph Saalfeld is found guilty of the attempted murder of Tobias Ehrlinger and will be jailed for ten years.
X: Yes.
A: No.

IX
X: To you rotting in the cell. Denise. I didn’t hear you coming. Darling, I’m very sorry. I know you believed in the innocence of your father.
D: I thought you did, too. You married him after all.
X: Yes, I actually believed in his feelings. But right after we said yes, he demanded from me to lie in court for him. I then realized that he only wanted to use me.
D: Mum, that’s absurd.
X: Christoph knows how to manipulate people. You too, by the way, sweetie. Probably it’s for the best he’s gone for a while.
D: Yes, for ten years.
X: Yes. The time might help him to become a better person. And the rest of the family just has to become closer until then. You – Annabelle – Boris – I, we only got ourselves now. And as bitter the flash point might be.. Denise, we now finally have the chance of peace in the family.
D: I doubt that.

Christoph going to prison.

J: Cool. Do you have a moment?
D: Yes, I’m only waiting for Boris.
J: I’m just coming from the studio and I wanted to ask you, if..
D: Hold on. You’ve worked until now?
J: Yes, Robert needed a bit distraction. He and Eva have some trouble currently and so we went playing soccer. And I just started working later.
D: I want to play with you next time.
J: Alright.
D: Are you afraid I’ll beat you?
J: Yes.
D: Okay, so what did you want to ask me?
J: It can wait till tomorrow, your hot date is coming.
B: Not with me, with John Travolta.
D: Have you really found the movie?
B: Yeah, you better start to warm up.
D: My dear, I got the skills. I think you better must practice a bit more.
J: Eh, do I have to understand this?
B: We wanted to watch a musical film tonight which we often watched together with our nanny in former times. Are you in?
J: Sure, I’ll get the wine.
B: Fine, so in Denise’s atelier in a bit.
J: Alright.
B: Red one.
J: I will.

II
J: That I’ve never seen this one before, it’s really cool.
B: Cool? It’s legendary.
D: Joker.
B: Shush. Or else, we’ll miss the happy end.
Wake up, sleepyhead.
D: I didn’t even sleep.
B: Sure, you even missed the last scene. And your favorite dance. Denise was once fanatic about John Travolta.
J: We all had our teen heart-throbs.

III
C: Hey.
A: Dad.
C: Annabelle. It’s okay.
A: Respect, you didn’t even need a day to get this emporium under control.
C: When you have the right instruments..
A: Mh, and relations.
C: Come on, sit down. Well, the number of seats sadly are a bit limited in here.
A: Can you imagine? Eva Saalfeld now lives with the Sonnenbichlers.
C: She moved out?
A: Well, it seems she can’t forgive her husband doing that to you.
C: And your siblings?
A: They had nothing better to do than having a funny movie night. They don’t waste a single thought on their own father.
C: Well, you couldn’t expect anything else from Boris. But Denise..
A: Our sensitive one probably is totally unable to cope again.
C: Well, you’re of a different stamp luckily. Would you hand over this letter for me? Please.

IV
X: Listen, it has to absolutely kept in confidence and happen quickly. My husband shouldn’t have the possibility at all to react to it. How should I know? You’re the lawyer here. One moment, please. Who is this?
D: Mum, it’s me.
X: Darling, I’m just having an important call.
D: Yes, I only wanted to look for you. After everything that happened yesterday.
X: That’s nice of you. The office manager from Paris, there’s trouble. I’ll get to your atelier later, alright?
D: Yes, sure. See you.
X: Hello, I’m back, sorry. I don’t care about the trial at all. The main thing is I’ll get access to his fortune and the hotel shares. Did you finally get this now?

[lindor]

3083
I
D: Mum only wants dad’s hotel shares? That’s why she married him? And the bottle of champagne in her room. She celebrated dad’s sentence. Could Annabelle be right? And it’s her after all who poisoned Tobias? Mum.
X: I’m sorry I just got rid of you like that. I had a very important talk. The work distracts me from your father. I strongly wanted to believe him. I hoped so much it would work. Are you in the mood to have lunch later with me and your siblings?
D: What are the others saying?
X: You’re the first one I’m asking, but Boris surely will come.
D: Unfortunately, I have to work, at the stud.
X: What a pity.
D: Yes, a pity.

II
R: Oh, you’re back again?
T: Do you think I would forget the birthday of my favorite cousin? Happy birthday.
R: Thank you.
T: Happy birt- Well, I better stop singing. But, I brought you a cake. Home-baked.
R: It wasn’t your mum?
T: And here.. I hope you don’t have it yet. It’s from your favorite writer.
R: Thank you. Do you want some tea?
T: No, it’s okay, thanks. So, here. I wish you for the next year that only beautiful and nice things will happen.
R: I can need that.
T: So. Ehrlinger? Yes. Okay. See you soon.
R: Huh?
T: It was Boris’ mum. She wants to see me.
R: Why?
T: She didn’t say.
R: But you’re going?
T: I shall come to the restaurant right now. Don’t worry, I’ll keep attention that no one will put something into my coffee.
R: I want to hope so.
T: Happy birthday.
R: Thank you.
P: Woah. Hi.
T: Hey.
P: Sorry.
T: Everything’s fine. So.

III
X: Mr. Ehrlinger. Great you could come so quickly.
T: I got nothing much to do after all.
X: The physio seems to be good for you. You already walk much better.
T: But never like before.
X: I’m sorry. Really.
T: Well. There’s nothing we can change about it.
X: That’s the right attitude. You have to look forward. I know it’s difficult for you after all my husband did to you. To you and Boris. I should have never married him again.
1: Can I get you something?
X: Nothing for me anymore, maybe for you?
T: No, thanks.
X: Thank you. Mr. Ehrlinger. I bet you’re wondering what I want from you.
T: Yes.
X: My husband did so much mischief, I would like to make up a bit of that. Your dream of being a fire-fighter.. is destroyed.
T: Yeah, with a stiff leg..
X: So I wanted to ask you if you would like to work as company technician in this house again. You always did a great job.
T: My possibilities in doing stuff are very limited.
X: If you think of cleaning the rain pipe for example or something similar, we could order an extern company. There are still other many things to do for you here. You don’t want to sit around and ponder forever, right? Boris. I just offered your boyfriend his old job as company technician. It’s surely alright with you, isn’t it?
B: Yes, I would like that. But it’s your decision of course.
X: My offer is standing. Think about it. Maybe you can convince him. See you.
B: It would be a first step. You don’t have to do it forever. I mean, if you find something better, you’ll do that.
T: Yes. Maybe you’re right.

IV
M: Mr. Ehrlinger.
T: Dr. Niederbühl. She’s sweet.
M: Yes, very sweet. I’m so glad she’s finally sleeping. You really can’t find time to do anything. I fortunately got a substitute for my practice. The little one is practically my annual vacation. How’s the physio going?
T: Walking would be great.
M: You have to be patient.
T: That’s difficult. I know I must accept my disability and look forward. Mrs. Saalfeld even offered me my old job here.
M: And you don’t know if you should take it? Have you already applied for a handicapped ID?
T: Well, I can renounce the discounts in the Regional Museum and on the mini golf course.
M: Mr. Ehrlinger. Mr. Ehrlinger, please. It’s quite important for your employer. For reasons of law tax or employment law. I got the documents in my practice. I could get them quickly if you want so. Wait here, alright?

V
C: Hey. Denise.
D: Hello, dad.
A: I wanted to bring you some things. Something to read and music.
C: I didn’t expect you.
D: Well.
C: Did something happen?
A: Denise had a surprising realization.
C: A few minutes, please, okay?
A: She also thinks now that it was Xenia who did the attack on Tobias.
D: I overheard a call. She wants to get your shares.
C: Well. The trial’s now over for good. After the false statement of Robert Saalfeld and the dramatic show of your mother.. I don’t see the chance of rerolling it for now.
D: So what’s your plan?
C: We have to destroy her reliability. When it would be shown that she already was a murderer in another case, her statement would be revealed in a very different light.
A: What are you talking about?
C: Joshua’s adoptive father.
D: How should he be involved?

B: Glorious.
T: I’m way too heavy.
B: Nonsense. Light as a feather.
T: I told you we couldn’t do it.
B: We’ll make it. We’ll make it. We’ll make it. We’ll.. make it. We’ll.. make it.
T: Come in. I’ll make some coffee.
B: I know it’s difficult for you to work again at the Fürstenhof. Everything reminds you of the time before the accident there. But.. consider it as a first step. I’m supporting you.
T: Thank you.
B: And I miss you.

D: You seriously think mum killed Henning Winter?
C: He was her accomplice with the jewel robbery. And she even wanted him to kill me. He admitted that to me and shortly after that, he was missing like swallowed up by an earthquake. And not a trace of the stolen jewelry.
A: Xenia surely took it with her. But she hasn’t sold anything of it yet. She’s too careful for that.
D: But you can’t prove that. Of course not, otherwise, you would have already went to the police.
C: We have to arrange that she’ll do a mistake.
D: Well, Joshua and I recently tried something similar. I distracted her and he sneaked around in her room.
C: So?
D: We found a diary. But it sadly didn’t reveal something suspicious.
C: That’s why you were so convinced of her innocence. Xenia isn’t the type who’s writing diary. She probably guessed you were planning something.
D: You think it was fake?
A: You always underestimated our mummy.
C: If you want to prove her guilty of Henning Winter’s murder, we’ll have to come up with something.

VI
B: Don’t you love me anymore?
T: I do. But you just don’t understand, that’s why I’m breaking up with you, because I love you.
B: That’s complete nonsense!
T: I’m not the man anymore you fell in love with.
B: Only because of your leg?
T: Only? All the things we wanted to do: climbing, travelling, I.. I even can’t build up a tent anymore.
B: That’s nonsense and you know that.
T: The future we imagined doesn’t exist anymore.
B: We’ll just build a new one then.
T: You’re going to build a new one. With another man.
B: That’s not you.
T: Do you know how my future looks like? Permanent health limitation. I’ll even get it certified soon.
B: So what? We’ve been through so much together. Yes, we won’t get to climb this stupid crest..
T: If only that would be all.
B: I can renounce that. I can renounce everything. As long as we’re together. Okay. Maybe you’re right. And it really won’t make sense. But it means our love has never been that strong like I always thought.

VII
R: You think he really means it?
B: Yeah, he’s been like that for long, since the accident in fact. He’s totally obsessed with the thought of being a cripple now. I would like to get him out of it or do something for him.
R: But you don’t know how.
B: No matter what I do, it’s wrong.
R: Difficult situation.
B: Sorry, it’s your birthday and I’m only whining.
R: What nonsense. Don’t you want to come with us? Tina and I will have a night out in Tölz.
B: I can’t, I promised Tina to watch Tom.
R: Someone else could surely take care of that.
B: Besides, you want to have fun and with a stick-in-the-mud like me..
R: But exactly this stick-in-the-mud needs a bit distraction.
B: That’s torture.
R: Yes. One more reason to go out. So what, are you coming with us?
B: It’s better if I stay here, believe me.

VIII
T: Hey.
B: I didn’t hear you, I mean.. I thought..
T: Well, I..
Did you have to tantalize me like that?
B: I’m sorry. It was a bit complicated.
Hustle, hustle. What’s keeping you? I’m already cooling my heels.
T: Yes, yes. I was quickly shopping.
B: Seriously?
T: Well, they’re really shrill indeed, that’s why they were on sale.
Do you think your father will still give in?
B: Not a chance. All these lies, for years..
T: Are over now, hm? How about celebrating it a bit?
B: A coming-out party or what?
T: Yes. We’ll have a nice evening and I’ll cook something delicious for us. To mark the occasion, you can even choose. Noodles or.. noodles.
B: Hm.. noodles.
T: Great.

IX
B: Is he sleeping?
Ti: Yes, finally. You shouldn’t have made him romp like that.
B: Sorry.
Ti: The main thing is Tom had fun. Do you also want some tea?
B: I’d love to. Are you sad you can’t go clubbing with Romy?
Ti: In fact, I only would have done it for her sake.
B: Thank you.
Ti: He isn’t serious now. The neighbor said it could get louder, but..
B: But at this time. I’ll go to him.
Ti: No, Boris, it’s probably over soon.
B: Yes, because he struck a line.
Ti: Tom, I’m coming.
B: I hope there won’t be a cable fire. Do you think I should look for Tobias?
Ti: Good idea.
B: Really? I don’t want him to take it the wrong way.
Ti: Nonsense.
B: Flashlight?
Ti: Commode, top drawer.

D: Hello, mum.
X: Denise. Great, you could make it after all.
D: Sorry again for this afternoon.
X: No problem. I know you got a lot to do.
D: The other ones didn’t have time?
X: Boris has to babysit and Annabelle is on your father’s side.

B: Tobi? Is the light neither working in there? Hello? Tobi? Is everything alright? Open up. Please. Oh, thank God.
T: Why are you so panicking?
B: Sorry, that I’m worrying.
T: Turn the thing off.
B: Turn it off.
T: I’m sorry, I didn’t want to frighten you.
B: You didn’t frighten me, I only don’t want to go blind. Who are you anyway?
T: Eh, Tobias Ehrlinger.
B: The cousin.
T: What’s up with that?

D: I don’t know what’s wrong with Annabelle. I mean, dad got sentenced. If that’s not enough as proof..
X: We’ll have a nice evening then. A bottle of water, please.
2: Yes.
X: Yes, I must admit, I imagined my wedding night in a different way to be honest.
D: Is everything alright?
X: Yes.
Message: I know you killed Henning Winter.
D: Are you sure? No good news?
X: Yes, yes. Denise, give me my phone.
D: I know you killed Henning Winter.

[lindor]

3084
I
X: Denise. You’re not serious now, are you?
D: Apparently, there’s someone who’s serious.
X: Some crazy person who wants to feel big with an unknown number.
1: So, your water.
X: Thanks.
D: Thanks. You should go to the police.
X: Because of that? I won’t embarrass myself.
D: Mum, don’t take it so lightly. Someone is trying to scare you.
X: Well, you just thought I was the murderer.
D: Yes, because I didn’t think further. Wait.
X: Hello, could you just take care of this? Don’t you see what’s going on here?
1: I’ll be right with you.
X: Yeah.
D: Can you imagine why someone should write something like this to you?
X: No. Hey, I just remembered, I eh.. I still have to prepare something for an English reseller. An offer. I just forgot it in all the confusion now.
D: That means?
X: That we have to catch up our dinner. Excuse me.
D: Mum. Think about going to the police one more time.
X: I will.

II
T : We maybe should have gone to the room after all.
B: We still can.
T: I actually think it’s quite comfortable here. Besides, it’s nice and warm under the blanket.
B: Yes. Just like the beer.
T: I’ve been pretty obnoxious lately, right?
B: I almost lost hope.
T: Well, so a power blackout was necessary at first, huh?
B: I’ll bring the neighbor a bouquet tomorrow. What do you think about me taking the day off tomorrow and we’ll have a nice relaxed day?
T: Yes. But I think I can only become fully relaxed when.. I know what to do with my future.
B: It’s obvious.
T: Huh?
B : You’ll start again as the company technician here, like before.
T: And every time I have to get up the ladder, I’ll call you or what?
B: We’ll manage that somehow.
T: I.. just want a job that’s challenging me. Also mentally.
B: That’s not hard indeed.
T: What was that?
B: Huh?
T: What was that?
B: Stop it, no.
T: Did you hurt yourself?
B: Maybe we should go to bed after all.
T: You’re such a bore.
B: I never claimed otherwise.
T: Choose your partner wisely, huh?

III
A : So ?
D : She was totally nervous when she left.
A: You see? Like dad said. Xenia killed Henning Winter. She’s a monster. But I’ve always known that.
D: Yes, but her reaction isn’t a proof.
A: But a quite clear sign.
D: Alright. And now? What do we wanna do?
A: We have to observe her. Either we’ll find the corpse, or the jewelry she surely got out of Henning Winter previously.
X: I see. I could have known that.
D: Mum.
X: Do you think it’s funny?
A: What are you talking about?
X: What could it be?
A: Henning Winter.
D: Yes, I told Annabelle about the message, because it scared me so.
X: You might be innocent here, but your sister certainly isn’t. Your father incited her to do that.
D: Is that true?
A: I’m supposed to be the one who wrote that? Are you crazy?
D: Well, dad couldn’t have done it.
A: What is this? Calm down, you two.
X: You and your father, you want to set me up for murder to blackmail me, admit it.
A: Excuse me? Which murder? I thought the lovely Henning Winter is miles away with his loot.
X: I’m warning you, Annabelle. If you try to plant a false rumor, I’ll beat you and your father up. Relay that to him. Thanks.
A: Wow.
D: Oh man. Do you think she bought it from me?
A: I hope so. It would be better if she still trusts you.
D: Annabelle, it’s just not my world.
A: But you really did great considering that.

IV
X: Dammit!
H: Hello, it’s me, Henning. I’m sorry I get in touch with you so late, but.. you don’t really know what the status is with a woman like you. So, what I’m trying to say. If you still want to see me today, just call me back. Or no, my battery’s dead. I’ll call back.
X: Perfect.

V
J : Voicemail.
D : What’s wrong ?
J : Henning.
D : What about him?
J: He left me a voicemail.
D: What did he say?
J: Only that he wants to call again.
D: That’s not possible.
J: Why? What do you mean?
D: I would like to tell him. It would be a shock for Joshua of course.

VI
B: So, how did you like our beds?
R: They’re perfect for cuddling. And to be honest, I would have liked to stay in there this morning.
B: We luckily got room service.
R: It was such a nice birthday.
B: You can just give us a positive rating online.
R: The manager was the nicest one, who gave Paul such a generous reduction.
B: Yes, an excellent manager. Please mention that explicitly.
R: Of course. Are these for Tobias?
B: For our neighbor.
R: I see? The one who’s drilling so much?
B: Exactly. Well, if they hadn’t drilled, there wouldn’t have been a power blackout and I wouldn’t have gone downstairs to Tobias and the rest.. that’s none of your business.
R: Does it mean you made up again?
B: Yes.
R: Oh, I’m so glad. I have to call Tobias immediately.
B: Hey, doesn’t your duty start in 20 minutes?
R: Yes, but I’ll definitely manage.

A: You did what?
D: Well, the call from his adoptive father surprised so much and then it slipped out of me.
A: And.. did you hear the message?
D: He sounded weird.
A: So it was Xenia.
D: I also thought so. Do you think it’s difficult to create a new message out of old ones?
A: It’s not when you got an editing software. Like every second amateur film-maker.
D: We made her quite nervous.
A: Just like Joshua. Denise, what if he goes to the police with that?
D: No, he won’t.
A: You’re sure of that?
D: Well, after he heard his voice, he strongly believes that Henning Winter’s still alive.
A: Great.
D: Annabelle, he would barely go to the police to search for him. He’s a criminal after all.
A: However, I must talk to him. Even if Xenia got suspicious, we have to somehow take care of convicting her.
D: To get dad out of prison by that.

VII
D: What do you want to do? Searching through Xenia’s room? Annabelle, Joshua already tried it the other day and he didn’t find anything. Except for this diary.
A: We have to search on her laptop.
D: Because you think there are some information on it?
A: It’s worth a try. We might find the edited message of Henning Winter. Or the software she used to cut it.
D: Okay. If she really has such explosive information, the laptop probably is well protected.
A: No problem. With an equal decryption software.
D: And you can just buy this?
A: No, we don’t have to. Joshua already got one.
D: What? Wherefrom?
A: I don’t know, from the supermarket?
D: Okay. What shall I do?
A: You have to distract Xenia.
D: For how long?
A: About 20 minutes.
D: Fine. Providing that I’ll know how to do it.

VIII
X: Mr. Ehrlinger definitely refused and he won’t come back. Right. It means we urgently need a new company technician. Fine, get in touch with this man. Yes, thank you, Mr. Sonnenbichler. Yes?
D: I just talked to dad.
X: How is he? Has he already found new friends?
D: He was really mad, because..
X: Don’t make it too exciting. I just got here and have to answer hundreds of mails.
D: It’s actually not that important.
X: Anything else?
D: Would you have time for a coffee anyway?
X: For all I care. If it’s so urgent. The terrace?
D: Yes.
X: Have you already heard? Mr. Ehrlinger wants to realign regarding his job.
A: Alright. We got 20 minutes. How did you actually get this software?
J: I’ve had it for a long time. From one of Henning’s buddies.
A: How old is it?
J: Maybe five, six years.
A: Old as the hills then. Great.

IX
X: Christoph is mad at you? What did he expect? That he poisons his son’s boyfriend, deludes me the great love and you keep him in line forever?
D: It hurt me anyway.
X: Because he always praised you to the skies. You’re his favorite compared to your sister. Of course it’s heavy. But don’t feel too bad, Denise. It was the same for me. I was his goddess at first and then I was his enemy number one. But you’re old enough now to learn some lessons. It’s part of life, even if it hurts a bit.
D: Probably.
A: Is something happening? Nothing, you can forget it. We should better search in her room.
J: The program isn’t the fastest one, but it’s good. So calm down.
A: Oh, it shut down.
J: Nonsense. Just wait a bit. See, what did I tell you?
A: Queen of the castle. She hopefully will be in prison soon.
J: It’s starting now.
A: Hurry up. We don’t have much more time.
X: The good thing about it is that Christoph now has a few years to think everything through. And all the things he did to us.
D: Maybe he’ll become a better person.
X: That can’t be true.
D: What’s wrong?
X: Eh.. Paris. I have to call them. I’ll be right back, darling. Bonjour, Xenia Saalfeld à l’appareil. Qu’est-ce que je..
A: There. The folder “audio files”, that’s it.
J: Great.
A: Empty. Oh, dammit. Where on earth did she hide this message? It can’t be true. Click on ‘searching’ again.
J: She didn’t hide it, she deleted it.
A: We can restore it then.
J: I’ll try.
A: Denise must hold her back longer.
X: Am I disturbing?

[lindor]

3085
I
X: I’m listening?
A: Joshua’s also working here. Forgot that?
X: On my laptop?
J: What have you done to Henning?
X: I.. nothing. Why are you asking?
J: Where is he?
X: I already told you that I haven’t heard of him for a long time. He’s probably sitting somewhere in the sun and gets served with cocktails by South Sea beauties. Which he can afford, with all the jewels he stole. And now I want to know what both of you search on my laptop?
J: Do you have any audio files of Henning on it?
X: It’s getting more and more adventurous. Get out. Or I’ll call the police.
A: Why don’t you?
X: You’re just like your father. However, you’re my daughter, too. And that’s why I won’t call the police now. But you get out, before I change my mind.
J: If you got anything to do with Henning’s disappearance..
X: Out!

II
D: Yes, Annabelle. Mum’s away for quite a while now.
A: She caught us.
D: What, how?
A: She suddenly stepped trough the door, like she sensed something.
D: Oh, that can’t be true. Have you at least found something?
A: We should have needed more time.
D: Listen, I have to hang up, mum’s coming. Mh, was it something important? Your phone call?
X: I didn’t have a call. Your sister and her boyfriend nosed around my laptop.
D: What?
X: I get a message when trespassers want to use my laptop. I didn’t expect anything else of your sister. But that you’re involved in that..
D: Alright. Did the call of Joshua’s adoptive father come from you?
X: Of course not. Why should I do something like this?
D: Well, you tell me.
X: Your father gave you the idea that I got something to do with Henning Winter’s disappearance. But that’s not true. Christoph wants to take you away from me. He already succeeded once and now he’s trying again. Don’t you realize, Denise?
D: Mum, please tell me the truth.
X: And I thought that you at least stand on my side.

III
T: Yeah, you know, I just want to find something that is fun for me and what I can do better than anyone else.
B: You have to urgently remove the glass waste.
T: Yes.
B: And what’s that?
T: I.. I made a list.
B: There even is a list?
T: Yes. There are a lot of things I’m interested in. Not only drinking beer, lying on the couch and watching tv.
B: Fine. Fire away.
T: Alright. The first place obviously is..
B: Zookeeper.
T: You think that I can also handle orangutans, because I handle a monkey like you?
B: No. But your caretaker called. You should go back, he’s sorry.
T: Man. You don’t take it seriously.
B: I know. So?
T: So, first point: fire brigade’s control room.
B: It is after all? Did you call the boys in Rosenheim, is the job still free?
T: Yes, it’s what I’ll do next.
B: Second point?
T: A job at the airport. Like logistic, planning, coordination. Huh?
B: What about farming?
T: Well, there’s practically no farming without physical work. The only thing remaining would be making jam.
B: I heard the education of a jam maker is excellent. What are the earnings there?
T: Come on. Man, it’s important for me.
B: I know, but I’m in a way too good mood.
T: I see. Don’t you have to get in the hotel?
B: Don’t you want to know why I’m in such a good mood?
T: Yes, it’s probably the same reason why I feel like to start something new. We’ll make the best out of it, right?
B: No matter what happens. It’ll work out fine. As long as we’re together.

IV
B: What’s the matter?
X: Your father is causing trouble again.
B: Out of the prison?
X: It doesn’t keep him from instigating Denise against me.
B: What happened?
X: She wanted to distract so that Annabelle and Joshua could nose around my laptop.
B: Please, it doesn’t sound like Denise at all.
X: Exactly, your father is behind that. He claims I killed Henning Winter.
B: What, was his body found?
X: No.
B: So what is dad giving the idea?
X: What do I know? Maybe it was him and he wants to set me up.
B: Does he hold something over your head?
X: Of course not, Boris.
B: Okay, now in peace. I can’t imagine that Denise lets get herself involved in something like this.
X: Christoph can be very convincing when he has an aim. And it’s his goal to set me up for it to get out of prison. Boris, Christoph and your sisters will try to also get you on their side.
B: They won’t succeed. I’m going to talk to Denise one more time.
X: Thank you. What would I even do without you?

V
B: Do you have a minute?
D: Boris, you sacred me so much, I just was miles away.
B: Because of your conspiracy theories against mum?
D: She talked to you.
B: Why are you suddenly on dad’s side, I don’t get it. Everything speaks against him, the court didn’t give him 10 years for nothing.
D: Boris, please listen to me.
B: He hates gays. He wanted to kill Tobias and like that wouldn’t be awful enough, you’re playing Miss Marple now?
D: I don’t think it was dad. Well, right after he got sentenced, our mum is calling her lawyer. She wants dad’s shares of the Fürstenhof. At all costs, I even heard her.
B: And that’s a proof for what exactly?
D: Yes, and then there was this message. Mum invited me for dinner. Annabelle sent her an anonymous message in the meantime. Claiming that mum killed Henning Winter.
B: Tell me, don’t you got better things to do?
D: Boris, you should have seen her, she was totally nervous. It seems she really killed Henning Winter. And even poisoned Tobias.
B: And do you have proofs for that? I thought so.
D: Boris.

VI
C: A visitor? Well, you’re brave to show up here.
X: They were opened. The officer probably was afraid that your loving wife could smuggle a nail file in. It quickly made the round in the prison that we’re in the honeymoon, huh?
C: Thank you, Klaus.
X: Hm. I see you got everything under control again in your new home.
C: What do you want?
X: Well, see how you are. I worry about you. All alone in this meager cell.
C: Do you have the divorce papers with you?
X: Oh, darling, we just got married.
C: Enjoy your success, Xenia. As long as you can. You’ll pay for it in the end.
X: You think this here is my revenge? That’s just the beginning.
C: I would like to get you out by myself. But I don’t want to get my hands dirty on you.
X: You’ll pay. Not only for the next 10 years, I’m going to take everything from you which ever had a meaning for you. Your fortune, your hotels and your children. And you.. you can’t do anything against it, because you’re rotting in here. Open up. You can’t breathe in here.

A: The voice mail message is fake? Are you sure?
D: Absolutely. Joshua wasn’t that thrilled.
A: Yes, of course, for him it’s.. terrible. We now got her.
D: Annabelle, we don’t have evidence that mum has something to do with it.
A: We’ll get one. We have to set a trap for her. Pressuring her and then..
D: Yes, and we’ll talk to Joshua before that.
A: Because?
D: Annabelle, you should have seen him. It totally shook him. The man was like a father for him.
A: So it only can be in his interest to convict the murderer. And the sooner Xenia pays for it, the better. I’m going to talk to him.

X: You can’t withdraw your statement.
R: I must and I’m going to.
X: Then all of this was for nothing.
R: Not, if you’re going to tell what you have seen.
X: We agreed in the very beginning that no one would believe me. And after I stated in court that Christoph pushed me to lie for him saying I incited you..
R: So?
X: My credibility would be ruined.
R: I don’t think so. Precisely because you have seen him doing it.
X: But that’s insane. How should I explain this to my children?
R: Exactly like I explained it to my family.
X: Afterwards? It’s indeed absurd. I have just seen how Christoph wanted to poison Tobias Ehrlinger.
R: So you’re just going to state this. For my part, I’m going to withdraw my statement.
X: But..
R: Whatever the police and the court will do about it..
X: I just don’t understand you. Such a big risk, needlessly. Aside from the fact that Christoph would take revenge on us and make our lives a living hell. Mr. Saalfeld. Please. For the cause, but also for you. Stick to your statement now.
R: What is this even about?
X: Excuse me?
R: Haven’t you seen anything after all?
X: Are you now completely insane? Mr. Saalfeld, listen, we now must hold tog..
R: Yes?
1: Mr. Saalfeld, chief inspector Meyser is here.
R: I’ll be right there.
X: Please don’t.

II
X: Yes?
Me: Criminal chief inspector Meyser.
X: One moment, please. Morning.
Me: Good morning. May I?
X: Please, of course. To what do I owe the pleasure?
Me: Robert Saalfeld withdrew his statement. Can you tell me something about that?
X: It wasn’t Mr. Saalfeld who saw how Christoph poisoned the drink.. but me.
Me: Interesting. Why didn’t you tell me this in the beginning?
X: I was afraid that no one believes me in court.
Me: So that’s why you decided to lie.
X: I didn’t lie.
Me: And married your ex-husband during the trial. Even if you knew he wanted to poison Mr. Ehrlinger?
X: Christoph is the love of my life. I realized way too late that he was only fooling me. And when I were in the witness stand, I..
Me: You still could have told the entire truth then.
X: I know, it was stupid of me. But if you let him out now.. Inspector, he did it.
Me: The court will decide about that. But I’m also here for another reason.
X: Yes?
Me: What do you know about the disappearance of Henning Winter?

III
Me: Joshua Winter claims you had an affair with his adoptive father.
X: Such a nonsense.
Me: So what was it?
X: Henning Winter flirted with me, but I wasn’t interested in him. It wasn’t more than a harmless peck, which he gave me.
Me: Did Henning Winter get in touch with you after his disappearance?
X: No, why should he?
Me: Joshua Winter received a voice mail. Yesterday. From his adoptive father apparently.
X: Well, then.
Me: Which is obviously fake. Can you tell me something about this, Mrs. Saalfeld?
X: No, how should I? I assume that Henning Winter fled abroad with the jewelry.
Me: Maybe that couldn’t happen anymore. Because Mr. Winter’s dead for a long time now. And someone tried to cover that up with that fake voice mail.
X: Don’t you die now in front of me. Are you listening? Henning Winter isn’t alive anymore? Are you sure?
Me: If there’s a corpse, we’ll find it. Mrs. Saalfeld. Oh, and if something is coming to your mind after all, also considering your husband’s case, you know where to find me.

IV
B: It isn’t working again.
T: Finally ditch the trash then.
B: I’d love to, but it has to print one more time.
T: Did you turn it off and on again?
B: That’s one of the oldest tricks, huh?
T: So? Already done it? Hello?
B: Yes, it’s working again.
T: All of sudden, huh? How?
B: Yes, okay, I admit it. I just turned it off and on again.
T: Oh, it’ll cost you something.
B: I don’t mind any payment method, I could maybe give you.. Well, thank you, see you later.
R: The picture is crooked. On the left. A bit more. Now down on the left. On the right. That’s fine.
B: It’s good you’re here, I just wrote the press releases.
R: You better won’t publish them for now.
B: I know, it’s actually Annabelle’s task, but still..
R: No. It could be that Christoph Saalfeld will be soon on the loose again.
B: What? Why?
R: I withdrew my statement.

V
X: Yes, because no one would have believed me. After the thing with the black eye.. everyone knows what I think of your father.
B: I would have believed you. If you saw how dad wanted to poison Tobias, why haven’t you told me? You’re even marrying him instead.
X: I wanted to let him bleed, let him really bleed. And since Robert Saalfeld made his statement..
B: You still should have told me.
X: I would have risked then that you would sell me out in the end. It was the best that nearly no one knew about my plan.
B: So why did you claim in court that dad made you lie?
X: Because it happened.
B: And why haven’t you finally told what you have really seen? It would have incriminated him even more.
X: Yes, that could be. I just was irritated. It seems you don’t think it was him and that I lie to you.

VI
X: Your father was always against your relationship.
B: I know. And that he tried to kill Tobias for that reason..
X: ..is just shocking for me like it’s for you. We had to finally stop him. Boris, I did it for us. For our family. Christoph had to be punished.
C: What a pity it didn’t work, right?

X: You’ve been released.
C: You didn’t come far with your lies. Regrettable, isn’t it?
X: Don’t get your hopes up too high. The trial will be reopened and you’ll march back into your pretty little cell again.
B: And you’re going to leave Tobias and me alone until then.
C: Haven’t you really got yet that Xenia poisoned your boyfriend to put the blame on me?
X: That’s so pathetic.
C: She’s using all the tools to get rid of me.
X: Aren’t you projecting yourself on other ones now?
C: She’s fooling you, Boris. She’s the one who must be in jail.
X: It’s just a cheap try of you to get out of the tight spot. But you shouldn’t believe that our son thinks that one word of this is tr..
B: Stop it. Both of you. I slowly don’t know anymore if I should believe a single word from both of you.
C: Do you see that? It seems like our son doesn’t have blind faith in you anymore, huh?

II
P: You got a real energy boost since things are alright between you and Boris again, huh?
T: If I would also know now what for a job I could do, I really would be a step ahead.
P Any ideas?
T: Well, I made a list with all the jobs I would be interested in and which I could still do. But..
P: I understand you, man. I gave up my dream of being a professional triathlete to be there for Luna and now..
T: How are you handling it?
P: I’m somehow in an uncertain state. I mean, I like it here. Fitness trainer, this stuff.. But not for my entire life. I must do something different for change.
T: You just need a new perspective, right?
P: Yes. I think you can call it that way.
T: I know that.
P: But hey.. who else instead of us?
T: Who else instead of us. Erm, I have to leave for the physio.
P: Wait, I’ll help you. Alright.
T: I’ll make a quick stop to see Romy.
P: How’s the physio going?
T: Pretty good. I mean.. Sure, my leg will never work again, but they showed me some good exercises to handle it well and.. it helps. So.. If you got anything sometime, I can just recommend it.
P: Thank you.
T: See you.
P: See you.

III
D: Dad, we’re glad you’re back again.
A: Yes, finally.
C: I’m also glad to see you both, believe me.
D: Sit down.
A: Are you hungry?
C: No, thanks.
D: Joshua told us his father withdrew the false statement.
C: Yes. It seems Eva successfully talked sense into him after all.
1: Mr. Saalfeld.
C: Francois. Only a coffee, black.
1: Of course.
A: She isn’t here yet.
D: So what’s the plan now?
C: Well, the sentence is void for now and the prosecution has to decide if there’ll be a new trial.
A: Hardly. It’s more than implausible that Xenia’s suddenly a witness.
C: And the most important thing is that it’s making her damn suspicious.
A: Yes. It won’t take much more time anymore until the police finds out that it was Xenia herself who poisoned Tobias. And we’ll take care that she’ll be also brought to justice for the murder of Joshua’s adoptive father.
C: Do you got news?
D: Yes. We both found out that Henning’s Winter call on Joshua’s voice mail is fake.
C: Great.
D: Yes, but we can’t prove that it was her who faked the message.
A: Joshua went to the police.
C: If inspector Meyser doesn’t act too stupidly, things could be indeed look black for Xenia now.
T: What the hell your father’s doing here?
B: I wanted to warn you, but I couldn’t reach you.
T: But why? He, he got sentenced for 10 years.
B: Robert withdrew his statement.
T: What? Why? Your father tried to kill me.
B: It seems Robert didn’t notice anything after all, but my mother did.
T: And why didn’t she tell that?
B: A good question.
T: Do you think.. do you think she’s lying and.. that she poisoned me now?
B: No idea. I don’t know anymore what to believe. I can’t anymore. Shall we leave for a couple of days?
T: Lisbon?
B: Doesn’t matter, just away.
T: Yes.

IV
C: So careless.. You could be followed by someone who wants to harm you.
X: Do I have to call for help now? If you want to kill me, you know you would be the first suspect.
C: Ha – ha – ha, Xenia.. You’ve already known me for a long time now. Do you really think you would get off that easily?
X: Uh, I’m getting scared.
C: You can be lucky if you’re only going to jail, once you’ll be found guilty of Henning Winter’s murder.
X: No corpse, no murder.
C: Oh.. We’ll find the corpse. I will if it won’t be the police.
X: You? Ha, how cute.
C: And if you’re trying to plead for mental incapacity, I would like to support you. You know.. for better.. or for worse. Isn’t that true?
X: Dimitri. I need your help. Right now.

V
T: I’m just glad I can get out of here for once.
R: That’s not surprising.
T: I mean, it doesn’t matter now what happened before the accident. I’m just not in the mood to see Christoph Saalfeld.
R: I still can’t believe that it was maybe Boris’ mother.
T: Either way, I must handle it for the rest of my life. And the one who did it is on the loose.
R: He or she’ll pay for it sooner or later.
T: Let’s hope so. I mean, that it was one of Boris’ parents, doesn’t make it easier for us.
R: So even better that you’ll do a journey now. Lisbon will do you good. And you two belong together. You’ll find a way to become happy, I know that.
T: Thank you. You really are my favorite cousin.
R: And you’re my favorite cousin. Besides, I also must thank you one more time.
T. What for?
R: Well, for Paul’s perspective.

VI
A: What’s so urgent?
C: Come in. I just talked to your boyfriend. He supposedly knows where Henning Winter’s corpse is lying.
A: What? He never told me that.
C: It only occurred him again when I mentioned the forest in which we followed Xenia back then. I just wanted to inform the police.
A: The police? I thought we’ll bring her down.
C: The other ones can do the dirty work.
A: The main thing is Xenia will be finished this time.
C: Count on it.

X: Hey.

C: Lanxonia insurance, a good tip. I’ll consider it. Have a nice stay.
X: You’re looking for a good life insurance? That’s very wise. You never know what will happen.
C: Is this supposed to be a threat?
X: If you take it that way, I won’t complain.
C: You can’t be a threat for me anymore in prison.
X: You mean when you’re in it?
C: There isn’t a new trial. Not against me. We should discuss the divorce now that I’m back.
X: I don’t mind.
C: I already talked with my lawyer. You won’t see a dime from me.
X: Don’t underestimate me.
C: You think no one could prove you guilty for the murder of Henning Winter. Big mistake. You’re afraid. Rightly so.

II
X : Yes, the branch manager knows me. Mh, fine. The appointment will work, thanks. One moment. I’m coming. Boris, how nice.
B: I only wanted to inform you that I take a few days off.
X: You deserve it. Together with Tobias?
B: Yes.
X: So you made up again.
B: Looks like it.
X: Don’t you want to come in?
B: Tobi’s waiting.
X: What’s the destination?
B: Lisbon.
X: Oh, one of my favorite cities. I can give you a lot of tips.
B: We’ll handle it. Like I said – Tobi’s waiting.
X: Boris. Let’s not part this way.
B: But I’ll be back soon.
X: Still.
B: I don’t know which show you’re doing here, but..
X: It’s not a show. You’re my son.
B: I don’t trust you anymore.
X: Boris. I love you. Don’t you ever forget that.

C : Here ?
S : Yes, it was somewhere here.
C: Well then.
A: Here. I found something. It can’t be the whole loot in there.
C: Give it to me.
A: What’s wrong?
C: Bitch.
A: Oh, dammit.
C: She must have noticed that you were following her.
S: But I was so careful.
C: Come on. Xenia?
X: Christoph. Have you already found my treasure?
C: Funny.
X: I guess that’s a yes. The samples are for you.
C: Which poison did you fill in there this time?
X: Only a booster. Against worry lines.
C: It’s great you’re not losing your humor. You gonna need it, in prison.
X: Haven’t you still noticed by now? I’m always a step ahead of you.

V
D: Our little brother fell instantly in love.
A: Is he unfaithful to his gimpy?
D: Annabelle, I’m talking about Lisbon. Boris fell in love with the city.
A: Boris is in Portugal?
D: Yes, with Tobias. They just needed a bit time for themselves.
A: Yes, sure. Caring about their sensitivities in private time and letting us alone with the whole misery about Xenia.
D: He just doesn’t know what to believe anymore.
A: Even you got by now that our mother is the only guilty one.
D: Yes. And you were the only one who stood by dad’s side all the time. I’m sorry.
A: It’s alright.


Didn’t know if I should translate the upcoming scenes about the drama. The boys won’t be there for a week.
