[rock music plays]

[Jens] Come on, let's wait and see.

I'm sure nothing bad has happened to Susi.

-[voicemail message plays] -[Jens] It's not easy right now,

but maybe we could just try and be a normal family again.

Moritz, put your phone down for a second and say something nice to your sister.

I read that when dogs are old or ill they go back into the wild

if they think they're dying.

-Huh? -Huh?

Uh, or... was it cats.

-Moritz... -Yeah, cats.

[sighs] Well for the meantime, go and have a nice day at school with your friends,

and afterwards we can check the shelter again.

[Jens] And Moritz, I'm sure that by then, things with Lisa will have worked out too.

We'll figure this out, okay?

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

[upbeat music plays]

-[mellow electro music plays] -[students chatter]

[school bell chimes]

Gerda?

Have you seen Lisa? I've been trying to reach her but I--

Where were you last night? Come on. What happened?

-There was a bit of an incident. -An incident? Fortnite? Netflix? Pornhub?

Daniel, I'll explain, but now I--

What you have to do now is help me with this fucking exam.

Sit in front of me so I can see what you're writing and copy. Come on!

Off we go.

Ah, my favourite hominids.

[Mr. Kowinski] Are we all here, then? No, Lisa Novak is missing, I see.

All the catecholamine in the air

tells me you're really looking forward to this exam.

Right then: I'll swap questions for your mobile phones.

GOOD LUCK

Daniel! Hello.

[chuckles]

Did your father tell you about our phone call yesterday?

We need a victory today, or you'll be facing relegation.

He's a great guy, your father. I mean, as a person and as a player.

Danielinho!

Moritz! You're not looking too good.

Hang on a moment. Are you stressed?

Hm. I'm guessing high cortisol levels. Moritz, you've got this.

You're good at biology.

So, come on. Get your 1.4 litres of grey matter into gear.

Although women only have 1.2 litres.

Uh, not that it makes a difference. In intelligence.

Small brains are also good. More cross-links.

That there's, uh... thicker... cortex.

[sighs] Right, Lisa? Grade A brains.

Huh? [chuckles]

Small brains can do anything big brains can do.

-[Mr. Kowinski] Nowadays. -Lisa!

[Mr. Kowinski] So! Get started.

[rock music plays]

[phone vibrates]

[sighs] Moritz?

[rock music resumes]

[moans]

LESS STRONGLY REPOLARISED

Come on! Give it a rest.

[rock music resumes]

[groans]

[Lisa] I've finished.

Thank you. You all know what that means.

From now on, no more toilet breaks.

[all groan]

[door closes]

Sorry.

-You're finished, too? -Yeah.

[Mr. Kowinski] Our dream team.

You really don't look well.

Too much cortisol.

What's the matter with you?

-Are you talking about last night? -About the last few months.

-[sighs] -Okay.

Then I guess I'll tell you how I think your little start-up is making its money.

It's your choice.

[taps glass]

May I have your attention, please?

What the fuck are you doing? You obviously know.

-But I want to hear it from you. -What is it you want to hear? Hm?

That I'm an international online drug lord, or what?

-You're a what?! -What?

[laughing] No!

[laughing] Of course not!

Relax. You're pretty easy to fool considering how many lies you tell.

And I don't think drug lords call themselves drug lords.

That just sounds weird.

So is that why you broke up with me?

I would have been fine, if you'd told me the truth.

I just want to know why.

-Why? -Yeah.

Because you came back from America

and suddenly knew exactly who you wanted to be.

And who you wanted your boyfriend to be.

I should have been pissed off with you.

How long have we known each other?

We were inseparable for so long.

You go away for a year and suddenly you're sick of your loser boyfriend.

I should have hated you.

But instead, I tried to be the person you wanted.

Maybe now I am that person.

[clapping]

Shut the fuck up, Timo!

Actually, I should be thanking you.

Thanks, Lisa, for breaking up with me, yeah?

I've always been looking for something I can be better at than everybody else.

And thanks to you, I finally found it.

Drug dealing?

MyDrugs is a successful start-up.

Huh? My successful start-up.

People work for me.

And they enjoy it. The internet loves me. Who cares what we're selling?

Exactly! You've finally found something you're the best at,

but that thing is not MyDrugs, Moritz.

[sighs] You are too smart and too talented

to throw your life away for something this stupid.

You could easily finish school and then have a real start-up.

One you can be proud of.

One which you can be honest about with your parents and girlfriend.

A start-up that won't get you hunted down by the fucking police or drug squad!

Go home, shut it down, and get your life under control.

Or else what?

Or else what?! Or else you'll go to prison, Moritz!

So you'd hand me in, yeah?

[phone vibrates]

-[suspenseful music plays] -Shit.

Sorry!

So, I have two slices of black forest gateau left,

and one more...

slip of cheesecake in the freezer.

-[Jens] I, uh... -[Moritz pants]

Moritz! You're back early. Shouldn't you be in your biology exam?

Yes, but... It was really easy, I finished early.

Oh! And I think I might have a few profiteroles left over

from New Year's Eve.

-Those things last for absolutely ages. -Mm.

You look a bit stressed, Moritz. Are you okay?

Yes. Should we continue our meeting elsewhere?

Yeah, the boys have a proper office in the garage now,

the whole shebang.

-[gulps] -Moritz, what a great father you have.

Let me show you to the office. Shall we?

-Let's do it! [laughs] -[Marlene] Okay!

[tense music plays]

Dad, please.

Or you guys can go and do that,

and I'll just stay here and clear everything up.

-[Marlene] Yeah, great. -Moritz!

Those two are really impressive!

The best thing for you now is to focus 110% on your business.

Uh, and your studies, as well.

Okay. Alright.

The very best distraction you can find is working.

It'll stop you touching any more drugs.

A fresh start.

Okay?

Okay.

-[clattering] -Sorry, we had a minor incident.

What's going on with you guys?

You're not delivering on time, customers are complaining.

We're even seeing the first copycats.

-[tense music plays] -[scoffing] YourDrugs?

What kind of pathetic name is that?

I mean, that's not serious competition.

[laughing] And where did they get that logo? WordArt?

[Beeke] You know, Moritz...

We really expected more from you.

MyDrugs has...

Oh...

[Marlene] MyDrugs has so much potential, it would be a shame not to use it.

Absolutely.

But I think we've built a really profitable and scalable business model.

And what if, from now on,

we started taking care of the shipping side of things?

Well, that would definitely save us time and transportation costs.

However, that sort of drop shipping system isn't great for customer support.

We would give you your own MyDrugs office in Rotterdam.

And as many employees as you want.

[Marlene] How does that sound to you?

Your first, real, very own office.

[upbeat cheerful music plays]

[laughter]

[whistling, cheering]

Well, it sounds great.

But we would still have to do part of the work from a remote office in Rinseln.

Because of school, if nothing else.

I'd like to talk it over with Lenny and Daniel first.

I think that's something we need to talk about, Moritz.

You are the CEO of MyDrugs. It's your company,

your vision that has made the business a success.

But Lenny and Daniel...

If you want to maintain your position as market leader with MyDrugs,

you need employees that are 100% committed.

Well, I mean, I... They are...

Uh, pretty committed.

I don't think they are as devoted to MyDrugs as you are, am I right?

Well... They...

-I don't know. But-- -It's the most normal thing in the world

that not all the founding members stay until the end.

-It's part of the game. -Or do you know Pete Best?

Founding member of The Beatles.

Ah... I'm not sure I would have known the other members either. [chuckles]

Obviously, John Lennon and...

so on.

It's your choice, Moritz.

[Marlene] Do you want to stay in Rinseln with your friends?

Or do you want to come to Rotterdam

and finally be the CEO that you... always wanted to be?

If you don't, I'm afraid we'll have to end our partnership

and find ourselves a new...

Wunderkind, or something.

What's "wunderkind" in English?

Wunderkind.

[in unison] Ah yeah.

Could I have some time to think it all through?

You have half an hour to decide.

Hm?

You have three days.

-Okay? -[exhales]

[Moritz] The Beatles.

That's John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr.

Steve Jobs once said they were the model for his business structure.

Four guys who balance out each other's weaknesses

and together, are much greater than the sum of their parts.

In business, great things aren't achieved by individuals, they're achieved by teams.

[engine revs]

[pop music plays softly]

[door closes]

[footsteps approach]

Hey.

Seen this?

No, I'm reading.

You're on your mobile phone.

Mm. You can read on your phone.

What are you reading?

What is it?

Your Bonus Life...

is doing really well.

Here.

Mike Wheeler, €36.

-Max Bauer, €50. Walter White, €22... -Walter White?!

Mum, isn't that a bit indiscreet? People's names are on here.

Yes, but they're your bank statements, and I'm your mother.

And your bank. [laughs]

Well, who would have thought that you'd be earning your own money?

Certainly not your father.

-[Moritz] Hm? -Shouldn't we have cleaned up?

Customers come first. We have a reputation to lose.

Think of the Galaxy S4.

That would explode while charging. We're just late with delivery.

Lenny, one shitstorm and it's over. You've read the negative comments.

We have to take them seriously.

So, look at this.

What the fuck?

[Moritz] There's just one thing coders like Lenny hate more than sloppy code.

[dramatic music plays]

[Moritz] Stolen code.

There are people out there who've made a fortune by copying others.

These gentlemen copied eBay in 1999, and just 100 days later,

sold it to the highest bidder for 50 million.

-...once, going twice... -[Moritz] And the highest bidder was...?

Yep. eBay.

The trick worked so well, they did the same thing again in 2010.

This time with a Groupon clone called MyCityDeal.

Groupon paid 170 million euros for it.

From an economic perspective, a clever business model.

And sometimes, the copycat is even more successful.

When Lenny found out that Instagram had added a story function

to push Snapchat out of the market, he...

[shouts]

[Moritz] He believes coding is an art form,

and that it's not the loudest coder who should win,

but the one who had the idea. Fair enough.

America thinks Henry Ford invented the car.

-That's bullshit! -[gasps]

[Moritz] But he might be a little oversensitive about it.

It's buggy, it's bloated, it's full of anti-patterns.

And this shit logo looks like WordArt.

-That's exactly what I said. -Who to?

To me.

Earlier.

I don't think they're a serious threat.

They even stole our fucking comment function, those...

Hey! Lenny.

As long as MyDrugs exists, people won't go to the competition.

We just have to get our problems under control.

[phone chimes]

Oh, fuck.

Can you finish these orders?

I have to take Buba's 50,000 to the Albanians.

[Lenny] What about Dan? Should we text him?

I don't know. Maybe he really does want out.

Can't be. It's just starting to work, with the cash.

[Lenny] He's probably annoyed that, thanks to you, he won't pass his exams.

He could have asked me sooner.

Hey, how is it going with you and Kira?

I mean... You probably don't have time for a real relationship, what with...

MyDrugs and that.

If this gets me an extra life, I'll have more time than I thought.

[Lenny] He's doing it.

Dr. Jefferson's accepted me for the cell therapy programme.

Well, assuming I pay that greedy doctor a ton of cash.

I mean, I'll probably go to hell for it, but not for another 20 years.

[Lenny] Plenty of time to be a pain in the arse for you and Kira.

Ah...

[door closes]

Uh...

-Holy shit, I love this site! -No better place to order online.

MyDrugs forever!

Guys, I sincerely love you. Your MDMA is life!

You'll never go anywhere else.

Fucking scam. Where's my shit?

I'll find you and kill you! You'd better be in jail, m1000.

Fuck MyDrugs!

[rhythmic music plays]

SUSI IS MISSING!

[fast-paced electro music plays]

-I'd like to take some cash out. -Yeah.

-How much? -Fifty thousand.

How much?

Thanks.

[Kira] Well?

-[Lenny] A longboard? Really? -[groans]

[whirring]

[smooches]

Three, two, one!

[quiet whirring]

[electro music resumes]

Hello.

Fifty thousand.

[engine revs]

Enjoy it!

[neighing]

Oh, how nice.

Here, 50,000. It's all there. You can go ahead and count it.

We trust you, lad, and we know where you live.

Freshly shot in the sty. But soon, we'll go hunting again.

A hunt really brings people together. And it clears the head.

Next time, you should come. Then we'll catch a boar.

No, I'm fine.

Take a seat. The pig needs another few hours.

You don't look well.

[Doro] Where are your two friends? Is everything okay?

Yeah, they were busy.

We're in business together. And that means you're part of the family.

And family members are always...

-Related? -Honest!

Related... None of us are related to each other.

And so, how are you and your friends?

Well, we're...

Moritz, look at me.

[Doro] You have to look after your friends.

Your real friends, not the ones you have on the internet.

Nowadays, everyone talks about how many friends they have.

It's a nonsense.

[Doro] Would you actually pour your heart out to any of them, hm?

There's nothing worse than loneliness.

But family? They stick around.

[Doro] Whatever the problem.

Abnor.

He... He had a twin brother.

[calling] Abnor!

-Not so fast. Nice and calm. -[Doro] Come here!

[Doro] What was your brother's name?

[Abnor] Enes.

His name... Enes.

What happened to Enes?

He died before we were born.

I'm sorry.

I carry him with me always.

In your heart?

No. On my belly.

The doctors wanted to cut Enes away, but we belong together.

You don't abandon your brother.

Say hello to Enes.

Go on, touch him.

Huh?

Hi, Enes...

Blurgh! That's disgusting!

[all laugh]

[Abnor growls]

[man] It shouldn't be a problem, but, well...

So we may be able to run the numbers differently?

-Leave it to me. -Good.

Is this car yours too?

[Dan] It's mine.

-Are you selling drugs at school again? -[Dan laughs] What? No!

No, Bonus Life is doing really well. It's my start-up.

We provide nutritional supplements designed for gamers.

-[Dan] Vitamins... -Enough, doctor. Leave him alone.

-I'll be in touch as soon as I-- -I've always wanted one just like this.

Good idea with the gaming, by the way.

My son plays Fortnite night after night

and I can't even get him to eat an apple, let alone a tangerine.

But at least I can do this.

[laughs]

Hm.

I really have to go now. I'll send you an email.

And keep your eye on the ball, Mr. Highflier.

Take a leaf out of his book. That's how you deal with your son.

Instead of treating him like an idiot for 18 years.

-Who was that? He's nice. -[door shuts]

[lock bleeps]

Who was that, I said.

Bankruptcy consultant.

I beg your pardon?

A fucking bankruptcy consultant!

Does Mum know yet?

Of course not.

I... I'm not stupid.

But you've always said things were going well.

They were!

Then you make a few bad decisions and suddenly...

It's all gone to shit.

[soft electro music plays]

Before I let him have my Cayenne I'll wrap it round a bloody tree.

[sniffles]

-[Doro] Rock, paper, scissors. -Doro doesn't look Albanian.

-Rock, paper, scissors. -What, are you a racist?

What? No!

Didn't mean that.

Nobody here is Albanian. No one is Albanian.

Do I look Albanian? Or sound like an Albanian?

[Doro] Rock, paper, scissors.

You do it...

just because Albanians seem more dangerous than Germans?

And again, racist.

Doro's ex was an Albanian.

And did he start this off?

No, he worked for Siemens.

But in Germany, if you want to sell coke or something like that,

it helps to be Albanian.

Isn't that racist?

No, that's just a fact.

You're one of us now.

Here.

[Doro] I don't care.

If you ever need anything, let us know. Anything.

Anything?

[horse neighs]

Anything.

Cool.

Here.

I just hold down "one"?

Yeah, exactly.

You should be able to maintain conversation when you run.

You shouldn't go any faster than that.

What do you want from me?

Is this about Gülsha?

Look, it's over.

I said to her, "Gülsha, we really have to stop sleeping t--

Texting.

Yes, I know that you're already 19,

but I'm your teacher, and--"

This isn't about Gülsha.

But it sounds like you made the right decision.

We have to ask a small favour.

[upbeat electro music plays]

Moritz.

Really good. And you have more colour in your cheeks.

Daniel. There you go.

I'm sure your father will be pleased.

You did well.

EXAM EVALUATION SHEET B+

[phone vibrates]

[Moritz] "Don't be evil." That was Google's motto.

Simple, really. Whatever you do, don't do anything evil.

In 2018, however, Google changed its motto to "Do the right thing".

Doesn't that sound nice?

Until you stop to think about it for a few seconds.

Right for who?

Google's users? Advertisers?

Those who need artificial intelligence for drone warfare?

[Moritz] In the end, what's "right" is in the eye of the beholder.

[machine whirs]

I have something for you.

What is it, huh? Kowinski's head?

[laughs]

-Awesome. -Amazing!

They're really good.

I'VE NEVER BEEN ON MYDRUGS.TO

Yeah, it's a perfect fit, right?

Is that an Apple Watch?

Uh, yeah, I just got it.

Okay. And what's next?

-A cool car, or... -[scoffs] No.

Actually, at MyDrugs we wear Pebbles.

Right Moritz? Tell him what you think of Apple Watches.

I wanted to talk about something else.

I want to be honest with you.

Because we're sort of like family.

A business family.

And family members, we are...

[in unison] Honest.

Yeah.

The Dutch were here.

Here in this garage? When?

-Two days ago. -What did they want?

They want to move MyDrugs to Rotterdam permanently.

With real offices, you know? So that we can expand.

-What about school? -How's that meant to work?

Well, they were mainly talking about me.

-[Moritz] Actually, only me. -What about us?

-They want to get rid of you. -Get rid of us how?

[Lenny and Dan talk over each other]

Okay, just stop!

I'll tell them no.

MyDrugs is our company.

-They can't do anything. -They can murder us.

What about the 15 million we were making?

-That was the deal! -They don't give a shit about the deal!

There was no deal.

[soft music plays]

We could've got out at any time.

[Moritz] It would've been totally fine.

I just made up that they would kill us.

[Moritz] Everything was going so well then but you wanted to stop.

I thought we should just keep going for a while longer.

Lenny, you said yourself that you need the cash.

Think how much money we have in the bank.

Dan, it's going really well for us right now.

Get out, man.

I'm sorry.

I told you to get out.

But this is my garage.

This is our head office.

Hey, Dan! Wait! Hey!

[grunts]

-[Moritz groans] -[Lenny] Moritz?

That's it. I don't want to see you again.

You are no longer a part of this company.

-[tense music echoes] -[breathes shakily]

-[laughter echoes] -[Moritz] It's an emergency.

[shot fires]

-We're a team, okay? -I'm here today to discuss our future.

-They said that? -Word for word.
