[echoing, dog barking]

[man] Yes, and here's the garage.

[Jens] Yeah, I just cleared it out.

[loud creaking]

[Jens] For my son and his friends. They run a really cool start-up in here.

[door slams, echoes]

[Jens] Moritz?

Susi...

-[Jens] What are you doing in here? -Uh...

-I found Susi. Uh... -[Susi whines]

In the forest. She...

[groans] ...was just...

-...lying there. -[Susi whines]

[Moritz] And her leg was bleeding.

-[loud snip] -[vomiting]

[Susi yelps]

I went to the vet, and he said that...

That he had to amputate it.

Uh-huh. Yeah.

Okay. I think we've seen enough of the garage.

-Who are you? -Windt. Estate agent.

I have the thankless job of finding someone to move into this dump.

Of course, you can knock down this garage and build a, a...

Maybe build a... Maybe build a swimming pool.

Well, like I said, we'd really prefer it

if the buyer would let us stay here for the time being.

Mr. Zimmermann, between you and me,

no one will buy this place with you as a sitting tenant,

so either you move out voluntarily, or we'll find another way.

Oh no, Mr. Windt, I think you must have missed

a few sessions on tenancy law during your re-training.

Good luck getting an eviction for personal use,

with the occupant being a single father.

And a police officer. [groans]

You do know what that regulation is? But don't worry.

Dad's so afraid of conflict, he'll probably even help with the move.

You know... I was always scared that I'd end up being an arsehole like Mum.

Do you know what would be even worse?

Being a loser like you.

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

[upbeat music plays]

[Mia] Normal people touch their screen an average of 2,617 times a day.

That's normal people.

Now, look at all these hipsters.

Notice anything?

[Mia] This would all make for the perfect Instagram feed.

Vegan food, fixies...

Super-meaningful tattoos...

If I were an undercover police officer, I'd be really suspicious.

It's so obvious!

-Hm? -No one has their phone out, do they?

[laughing] Where do you ever see that?

[Mia] People here have the coolest job in Holland,

and not one of us can talk about it, or post anything about it.

And if anyone asks,

you have to say

that you work for a fucking start-up that sells fizzy drinks. [laughs]

I just can't do it anymore.

You know, I have to be able to tell my friends what I do for a living!

I mean, what else are we supposed to discuss?

It's a good thing that today is your last day.

You must be super good at it.

Hiding things from your friends and family.

But when I lie, everyone realises straight away.

Last year, Christmas was mine. I won.

I had the best presents.

What did I buy them with?

Drug money.

Like some kind of... [scoffs] criminal.

And then I prayed so loudly at church that everyone looked at me.

It was really awkward. Even for the vicar.

The other day I accidentally told my grandma everything.

You did what?!

She had a stroke, she doesn't notice anything, thank God.

I shouldn't say "thank God", but she doesn't understand.

There are studies that show they might understand more than previously thought.

Okay, then we'll just have to euthanise her, I guess.

-Grandma Eni knows too much. -[laughs softly]

[chuckles]

What about you?

Who did you have to lie to so you could come here?

Can you keep a secret?

Go on, tell me.

My grandma will love this secret.

Good.

-[tense music plays] -Okay.

-So... -[panting]

[Moritz] Just between us,

I wasn't actually planning on taking the offer.

But life doesn't play out like a film.

It's more like a computer game:

you have to make your own decisions, because everyone's against you.

[phone vibrates]

[Moritz] Am I still that student who goes to school, sits his A-levels,

and then goes to university in the nearest big town?

-Like everyone else? -[Lisa] Mo, get your arse over here.

Take the fucking exam and don't throw your whole life away.

[Moritz] Or have I already decided to do something completely different?

[dramatic music plays]

[Mia] Okay. And then you came here.

[Moritz] No.

[dramatic music resumes]

[Moritz] I took back control.

[music fades]

Don't look like that. You wanted to hear the story.

[music resumes]

[Moritz] Desperate times call for desperate measures.

[Moritz] And now I'm here.

In my own office,

with a harbour view.

Welcome to the Good Times family.

Living the dream, huh?

Mm-hm.

[dramatic music resumes]

[Mia] Oh, come on! That's part of being successful, isn't it?

Mark Zuckerberg stole Facebook from these two guys at his university.

-But everyone hates him. -[groans]

Should I be quiet?

-Mm. -I'll be quiet.

-[soft music plays] -[Moritz] Just because you've moved on

doesn't mean those you left behind no longer mean anything.

[phone rings]

Windt, estate agent.

[atmospheric music plays]

[Moritz] Luckily, it's the same the other way around.

I still mean more to some people than I thought.

Well, not that many people.

Technically, there's just one I'm actually sure about.

Can I pop to the toilet?

-[hissing] -[groans]

[dramatic music plays]

[Moritz] If I change my mind, there's a back door of sorts there.

In the end, it was actually a pretty normal week.

[both laugh]

Wow. It's good to see that you've already settled in so well.

[chuckles]

[Marlene] Don't get too attached to her.

So...

Are you enjoying your last day?

[in Dutch] Is this how you'd spend your last day on Earth?

[in Dutch] I'd have had his trousers off by now.

Oh yeah? [laughing]

[laughs]

What did she say?

Something along the lines of "carpe diem". Just a bit more complicated.

And in Dutch.

And speaking of... Come with me. I want to show you something.

So they just accepted your resignation?

[Mia] I told them I still needed to find out what's important to me in life.

And they said...

[speaks Dutch]

Or, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't...

Make it drink.

So you actually do speak Dutch?

-No, I just heard that before. -[Mia] Hm.

-[soft music plays] -Blue or red? Hm?

-Uh, actually, I'd... rather not. -[laughing] Come on!

It's not dangerous at all. I promise.

And you'll never get it this fresh anywhere else.

Hey, Elon Musk wouldn't sell cars without actually knowing about them.

As a matter of fact, that's the core problem with Tesla.

Apart from the fact that the motor technology comes from Bosch.

Not to mention the clearance,

-compared to German car manufa-- -So, if you choose the red pill,

you'll be enlightened

and finally understand what it is you're selling to everyone.

Or...

take the blue pill

and exactly the same thing will happen.

-[gulps] -Up to the milligram.

[takes deep breath]

So?

Feel anything yet?

-What?! -[laughs] It'll take about 20 minutes.

[sighs]

What do you want to do now?

[Mia] Hm?

I think I'd like to go to the toilet.

Down that staircase.

[gulps]

If you're not back in five minutes, I'm calling the police here!

He's coming round.

Have you broken up with Lenny, now? Or did Dan steal him from you?

I think it's good that you came.

Okay, ladies and gentlemen,

let's hope there is no pyromaniac around today.

You do realise that, in a way, you're a criminal now too?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Attempted arson? Community service at the very least.

And the fire brigade came out, so there'll be a heavy fine too.

Thank you.

For giving you the privilege of sitting your English mock exam?

No. For showing me that when a friend is being really terrible,

that's when they need you most.

Complete silence. Quiet now please.

You can start. Best of luck.

Moritz, how much trouble are you in?

-Mo. -Lisa? Please.

No.

Didn't Kowinski say anything?

I had the flu. [coughs]

Now you're doing a bit of sport?

Come on, let's go.

We need to talk.

-There's nothing to say. -No, it's important.

You're in danger.

We're in danger.

I saw him.

Maarten.

You guys, they kill people!

Sure. And why should we believe you?

Because I'm not lying.

Maybe it slipped your mind, but last time you said it was the truth, it was a lie.

It was the truth, I just didn't know it at the time.

-Exactly, you lied. -No!

Well, it was actually the Dutch who were lying. I told the truth.

They really do kill anyone who wants to get out.

But I only found that out recently.

So, by definition, I didn't lie.

Fuck the definition. The fact is, you deliberately lied to us, you moron.

I told you the truth without realising! It's different, you...

Hm?

There's a big difference, okay? I accidentally saved our lives.

Lenny, I saw Maarten actually kill someone.

Someone wanting to get out, and who knew too much!

I've absolutely no idea what you're planning to do now,

but as long as you keep me in the loop, you'll be safe.

I hope.

As soon as I have a plan, I'll let you know.

We might need to leave the country.

[Dan] What do you have in mind?

Bali?

Can we please just forget our business issues for a moment?!

And concentrate on the fact that we're friends!

Come on. You think this is an argument between business partners?

I bet you've just realised now that you can't get shit done on your own.

"Friends", come on. Be honest.

Would you have spent so much time with Lenny

if he hadn't been writing all the fucking code for all your fucking ideas?

Well, now you won't have anyone.

Mm!

And don't think you're alone because you're a misunderstood genius.

Nah. You're alone because you're a bad person.

[slow electro music plays]

[Moritz] There you go. As agreed.

[in Albanian] Goodbye.

[horse neighs]

[Doro] You heard him. Find those two boys.

[Dan] Mate, you knew that, right?

Yeah, you eat that bit as well.

I'm heading off, Jule. See you tomorrow.

See you tomorrow.

-Bye, Volker! -Bye, James!

Hi, James.

[groans]

-Why is everyone calling me James? -You don't know who you are?

-Hm? -You're James Dean!

-Hey? -James Dean!

You must know who James Dean is!

[Kira] Oh...

-Oh, yeah. Yeah, I know. -Hm.

[Kira] So, I've been thinking.

We're Apple.

And Moritz is Microsoft.

Sooner rather than later, people are going to start getting fed up of Microsoft

and want to buy from the much cooler underdog brand instead.

-What are you talking about? -[Kira] Here.

I was bored, so I played around a bit.

-You programmed a new site? -Mm-hm!

[Dan] CandyBay!

It's a life insurance policy!

Well, for now it's just a mock-up.

-A mock-up life insurance policy. -Amazing! It looks great.

I don't know.

You and your fucking copycat problem.

[imitating] "Code is art! You couldn't just duplicate a Picasso!"

I think Lenny would rather put a bullet through his head than copy MyDrugs.

-[Kira] How much money have we got left? -[Dan] 45,000.

[Kira] 45,000?! You started MyDrugs with a lot less than that.

[tense music plays]

Guys. We have start-up capital, a marketing department,

a better coder - no offense...

[Kira continues talking indistinctly]

Huh?

-[groans] -[electric crackling]

[laughs]

[both laugh, imitate other man]

It's not the copycat problem. You're still in love with Moritz.

What?

I can't just do that.

-Moritz is my-- -Don't say the F-word!

-Friend isn't the F-word. -I know, Dan!

But why?! After everything he did to you?

What he did to us? Lenny. Please.

If you don't want to do it because of him, do it for my sake.

We'll get the money for your therapy, even if it's dangerous.

Even if it takes a long time before we can compete with MyDrugs.

We're your friends, and we'll get through it together!

Maybe it doesn't have to take that long.

[electro music plays]

Hm... You built a thermal exhaust port into your Death Star, didn't you?

I knew it!

You're a genius!

Uh... thermal exhaust port?

Just google it.

You and me...

[Lenny] But...

What if Moritz is telling the truth?

Lenny, if they wanted to kill us, they would have done.

THE NETHERLANDS

[GPS, in Dutch] Route calculated.

Destination: Holland. Please fasten your seat belt.

-Have a relaxing trip. -[dance music plays]

Yeah, you're right.

[Moritz] Ah yes, the thermal exhaust port.

The breaking point.

The ultimate symbol of distrust.

Once every minute,

Lenny's Pebble watch transmits a pulse to the MyDrugs server system.

A so-called "keepalive signal".

The moment Lenny starts the application, the signal is interrupted,

and a self-destruct script gets triggered on the MyDrugs servers.

All traces of MyDrugs will be deleted.

All user data.

Every password.

Every last Bitcoin.
