Original subtitles

What if I were to tell you that there was a huge online trade in illegal drugs...

...marketplace where people can buy and sell goods and services.

...the most advanced website for selling hard drugs...

Thousands of users

use the impossible-to-trace website which sells drugs.

It took us only ten minutes to order online…

From his computer he achieved every drug dealer's dream.

Purchases are made using Bitcoins.

…situation they haven't thought through. Unless they slip up somehow...

He's anonymously built an enormous drug shop.

No one can stop him.

At some point, someone wrote, 'You need a name.

Something other than "admin".'

-Who is M1000? -He's not afraid of the consequences.

He's an online superstar, and he can't talk to anyone about it.

He's an icon!

[speaks Swedish]

Obviously, he's trying to get rich.

But for him, it's also about achieving something great.

Something that will change the world.

He's becoming the idol of a generation.

[echoing]

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

[upbeat music plays]

The idol of an entire generation.

We had one million euros, age 17.

300,000 for each of us.

Yeah, and then, uh...

We just got out. That's it.

End of story.

[inhales]

[upbeat music plays]

[Moritz] Oh no, stop.

It's all coming back to me now.

That's not how it was.

[classical music plays in background]

To the first million, and to getting out of international drug trafficking!

Bitcoin is really volatile right now.

We have 141, so strictly speaking, we only have...

€994,000.

-Okay then. -2002? That's older than us.

-How much was it? -[sighs]

[Lenny] Moritz...

Why are we even here?

Well, to celebrate our first million euros.

-And getting out of international drug-- -Yeah, I know that, but why are we here?

[Moritz] In a fucking indoor ski centre?

-[whooping] -Hey, you lot!

-Me and-- -It was my idea.

-Yeah, but-- -At home, on my own.

[pop music plays in background]

I love mountains.

Mountains are your thing, right?

Mountains, and... steps.

Dan and I met up without you yesterday. Sorry.

At least no one's gonna bother us. Nobody ever comes here.

It's embarrassing. Heard of a carbon footprint?

-We thought about it. You and your girl-- -Stop.

You know the rule. Work-life balance.

I don't discuss my relationship in meetings.

Good. Nobody wants to hear about it.

Okay, guys. Let's move on to item two of the agenda.

What was item one?

-Celebrating the million. -[exclaims]

[Moritz] Could we focus on ending MyDrugs?

-[Dan sighs] -[Lenny] Right.

"Ideas of how to use my third of the MyDrugs cash after MyDrugs ends."

Maybe you shouldn't write "MyDrugs" in your Notes app. Twice, as well.

-Also, I still think lists are stupid. -Because you don't have any ideas.

[Lenny] Don't you want to get out, Moritz?

BUSINESS IDEAS NEW ENTRY

Of course I have ideas.

But I still don't understand why he gets a third.

We talked about this.

[electro music plays]

Shipping! 400 orders a week, that's impossible.

Dan is your employee!

What more do you want?

Let's be honest, Moritz. We're 17.

What do you need the money for?

Dan's also a lot stronger than you, Moritz.

Fuck off, Tobi!

We all have dirt on each other.

Let's just split it before he causes any trouble.

And we need a blonde guy on our team, you know? Moritz?

Diversity and stuff.

[pop music plays in background]

Okay. Forget the lists.

You're going to Rotterdam to tell the Dutch we're done.

It costs €350?!

What? It's that cheap online?!

[gasps, grunts]

-And how are you going to pay for that? -[scoffs]

Yeah, I... got myself one of these. For my Bitcoins.

Please tell me his name isn't on it.

-Your name is Daniel "Pirmin" Riffert? -Pirmin.

You are so fucking stupid.

You have no idea how Bitcoin works, do you?

Pirmin?

Do you realise this links every MyDrugs transaction back to your name?

Lenny, when did you last use a coin mixer?

Day before yesterday, I reckon.

Don't worry about it. I'm the CTO. I'll take care of it.

-Sorry. -It's okay.

You realise this won't be over just because we stop, right?

We can't just drive to the teachers' car park in a Lamborghini Aventa-whatever

and say we were doing a paper round in the holidays.

Can you please focus, Daniel!

[shouting, laughing]

Dan!

-[boys laugh and shout] -Hey!

-What are you doing here? -Right back at you, man!

-[camera clicks] -[Felix] Is this volunteer work?

Or are these losers programming your fitness app?

Yeah! The best part is you can take the piss in front of them.

They're awkward and only speak HTML.

-[Dan laughs] -Nice one, Dan.

We're going to the après-ski bar. You coming?

Okay! I'll just let them know.

One, one, zero, one.

[boys laugh]

[Felix] Let's go!

Come on, mate!

[boys shout]

[yelling, echoing]

Daniel. Fucking. Pirmin. Fucking. Riffert.

[Moritz] Before you get the idea that Daniel was as important for MyDrugs

as Lenny and I...

LOGISTICS

Don't.

-[droning] -[door opens]

[Moritz] He is to MyDrugs what Hawkeye is to the Avengers.

It would work just as well without him, but he showed up,

and we couldn't get rid of him.

And that's fine.

At least this way, the CEO can focus on the important things.

[tense music plays]

[yelling resumes]

[Moritz] Fucking idiot.

HELLO FROM ME AND THE SQUAD

You're still doing that?

I don't discuss my relationship during meetings.

Sending a stranger from the internet pictures of a guy with a BMI of 18

and also quite clearly an IQ of 18, isn't exactly a relationship.

But it's okay to stalk your girlfriend's location in the Friends app?

I do that to protect her from MyDrugs.

HI FROM THE COUCH

What protects MyDrugs from her, who can always see where you are?

And the fact that you're shagging on top of kilos of drugs?

Well firstly, I get an alert whenever Lisa is near our office.

-And secondly-- -You never shag?

We never hang out at my house.

And at least she isn't some suspicious stranger from Discord,

who might be a chatbot for all we know!

[boys shout outside]

I don't think it'll last much longer anyway.

-She thinks I'm being distant. -Really?

-Who thinks that? -[squeaking]

Hey... I had to do that so we didn't blow our cover, you know?

[squeaking]

Yeah...

Right! What were you just talking about?

-[Lenny inhales] -Private matters between Lenny and me.

Nerd stuff.

One, zero, zero, one.

It was about a girl from Discord. She keeps messaging me.

Well, she's been wanting to meet me for a long time, but...

Totally ghosting her.

What are you doing? It's locked.

-Yeah, so? -[gasps]

[phone chimes]

-No! Wait a second! What are you doing? -I'm just getting you a date!

Don't scroll up. There's... pictures of my peen!

[sighs] Too late!

God. Now that MyDrugs is over, you need something else to do. Here you are.

DINNER TOMORROW? IN REAL LIFE?

[Moritz] Fuck! She's typing!

FINALLY! CAN'T WAIT!

What have you done?

Lenny's meeting a girl who wants to meet him. What's the problem?

You're the fucking problem!

Hey, like, you can just cancel.

-Uh-huh. -Say you have diarrhoea!

Do not cancel. You have fantastic digestion.

You think?

Figure this out yourselves, yeah?

I've got to go. Work-life balance. Make sure we don't blow our cover.

-See you tomorrow. -What do you mean, tomorrow?

-You're going to Rotterdam-- -[Moritz] I'll take care it.

€437.40.

So can I still pay with this?

[Moritz] I mean, one sled ride down the slope

and your carbon footprint is the same as it is for a flight to Bali. It's absurd.

Typical symptom of an underdeveloped region.

Imagine you were a ski centre investor.

-Where would you build it? -In a place with nothing?

Right. Not even a fucking hill.

-Fucking Rinseln. -Fucking Rinseln.

[Moritz] To be clear,

in case anyone thought that me and Gerda got together,

we had one date.

[slurps]

[splutters, coughs]

[Moritz] We were looking for something else.

It's not easy balancing your private and professional life.

To make it work, you must be strict about separating them.

Until 6 p.m. all my time is allocated to MyDrugs. Well, and a bit of school.

And after 6 p.m. my time is allocated to Lisa.

One can't have anything to do with the other.

There can't be any crossover.

Never.

I read an article yesterday that really made me think of you.

[Moritz] Mm-hm.

Here. About...

MyDrugs.

[tense music plays]

This is the shop that Gerda ordered her drugs from. Like Amazon, but for drugs.

-You've heard about this, right? -Hm.

He's some young start-up nerd. It's a weird story.

He even talks a little bit like you. Wait, here it is.

Growth rate... vanity metrics... customer development...

[chuckles awkwardly]

I mean, he's probably a fucking genius.

But he could have invented something useful.

Now he can't really look anyone in the eye anymore.

Mm... [sighs]

Yeah, but the website's usability is really impressive.

What?! [laughs, mocking] "The website's usability is really impressive!"

Well the idea's not all that bad. You can get drugs without the internet,

but on the internet, at least you don't get stabbed by a junkie.

-[Lisa gasps] -[Moritz groans]

[laughs] No! Don't die!

HEY, AFTER ROTTERDAM

WE'LL DO SOMETHING REALLY COOL

FINALLY GET MYTEMS GOING AGAIN

Not now!

[soft electro music plays]

Are you okay?

About tomorrow. I might not be able to make it on time.

By six, I mean. Because of MyTems.

No big deal.

I'll just come to your place, and wait for you.

[alarm rings]

[Dan whoops softly]

[Lisa] We haven't been to yours in ages.

And I really don't have any problem with the size of your...

room!

Not my place. Um...

Tomorrow's not good.

[sighs] My dad's new girlfriend is coming over at six.

Come, so I won't have to listen to them fucking on my own.

[groans]

I need you!

-Mm-hm! [laughs] -[Moritz groans]

[mellow electro music plays]

[Moritz] If your work-life balance tips in one direction,

you have to ask yourself two questions.

First, are both things still equally important to you?

I NEED YOU SEE YOU IN ROTTERDAM

[Moritz] And second, how far are you willing to go to balance them out again?

I FOUND THE PERFECT PLACE! LET'S MEET AT 8.

[sighs]

[upbeat music plays]

[automated voice] ...when I can no longer fulfil my duties as CEO.

Unfortunately, this day has now come.

-So it is... [continues] -[slurping]

[quietly] So it is with a heavy heart

that I inform you that I will not be continuing with MyDrugs.

-[automated voice continues] -I've always said...

-[inhales] Should the day ever come... -[phone vibrates]

[Lenny] I'm so screwed with this Kira thing. I've no idea what to do.

Either I cancel and lose her forever, or I tell her the truth,

and lose her forever.

[sighs]

YEP. A CLASSIC LOSE-LOSE SITUATION.

YEP. A CLASSIC LOSE-LOSE SITUATION.

WHAT ELSE CAN YOU DO? TELL DAN THE TRUTH, OR WHAT?!

[mellow electro music plays]

[automated voice resumes]

[muffled voice] M1000? Um...

[woman] M1000?

That's a good alias.

Thanks.

You really are a...

Uh...

What is it you say in German? Ein Genie?

-[woman] Can you say that? -Yes, definitely.

In German.

I think that's the word you were looking for.

Mia.

M1000.

[laughs] Everyone here knows your name is Moritz.

You're kind of a celebrity.

[soft electro music plays]

[slurps]

3, 7, 8...

In case you're here more often in the future.

Is this the Wi-Fi password?

[laughs]

[Maarten laughs]

[rhythmic electro music plays]

[Maarten] Moritz!

-57, 58... -[doorbell rings]

[Melanie] Hey, get the door! It'll be one of your little friends.

60, 61...

-[Melanie] Hello? Who is it? -Hey.

-Yeah, it's Lenny. I'm here to see, uh-- -[Melanie] See? I was right!

Hi.

Come on, spit it out. It can't be that bad.

I...

You fancy me, huh?

Yeah, I knew it.

What? What... You knew it?

You're constantly taking sneaky photos of me, you've never had a girlfriend...

And, well, your taste in films.

Huh? What's wrong with my taste in films, man?

For the last time, Call Me By Your Name is an amazing film!

It doesn't even matter if you're... Oh, fuck it.

Actually, I did want to talk about the photos.

The girl you set me up with... I sent her a picture of you.

And because I wanted to keep talking to her...

I sent her a few more pictures.

[Lenny] Like, six...

...ty.

[Lenny] And now she thinks I'm you. [chuckles nervously]

[laughs loudly]

That's... That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

-It's catfishing. People do it online. -There's a word for it?

-And a subreddit. -Hey. If you want my advice...

Just go there and tell her the truth.

It's you she's chatting with.

It's you she likes, for who you are, not your looks.

It happens to me all the time.

Come on Dan, this isn't a fucking fairy tale.

Think about it. Who would want to date me?

[Lenny] A guy in a wheelchair with a fat arse and a fatal tumour.

-[soft music plays] -[Dan sighs]

I get that you don't understand. But...

For me...

It's enough just to chat.

[Lenny] I thought, if you could just got there as me...

Okay, I'll help you.

-Yeah? -Yeah. I think it's a stupid idea, but...

-Fuck it! [laughs] -Thanks, man!

-I can't wait to finally see her. -[gurgles]

-What? -You're coming with me?

-Course! I'll get a table nearby. -Creepy.

-So creepy! -Got a pen?

Without some nerd knowledge, you'll never survive the date.

[mellow electro music plays]

Right, best game of the year. Write it down!

Best game of the year: God of War. Why? It's just perfect.

Biggest disappointment: Fallout 76. Why? It's complete, utter shit.

The thing is full of bugs. What were they thinking?

And it looks ten years old.

Could we stop by the hairdresser's first?

She really prefers your hair a bit shorter. And if I were you, I'd shower.

Come on, we don't have long.

[Lenny] Death Stranding: masterpiece. Left Alive: atrocious.

The Outer Worlds: unbelievable.

Anthem: I can't believe how bad it was.

[Beeke] We're very excited about how our collaboration has developed.

And the potential is incredible!

[Beeke] Cheers.

[Maarten] Cheers.

Ah, but you... You said that there's something you wanted to discuss with us?

I, uh... [muttering] It is a with a heavy heart

that I must inform you we will not be continuing with MyDrugs.

-I have always said... -Excuse me?

...the day ever came...

[chuckles]

I have a question.

What would you say, if...

If, let's say, at some point, we didn't feel...

like continuing, with...

with MyDrugs.

Would that be...

Be a big problem?

In Holland, we have a saying, you know?

[speaks Dutch, chuckles]

So that translates as, as...

-You can't force the horse to... -[Beeke] Yeah.

You can pull the horse to the water...

Yeah, but you can't force it to drown.

Not drown. Drink! It's drink.

Force it to drink. You can't force it to drink.

Force it to swallow. You can't force the horse to swallow.

[speak Dutch]

[slurps]

-[speak Dutch] -Okay, whatever.

You can get out any time you'd like.

-Yeah. -Any time.

But we would take over the running of MyDrugs.

-[Marlene] You wouldn't mind, would you? -[Beeke] Is that why you're here today?

[tense music plays]

[gulps]

[softly] I...

MYXXX-RESIGNATION

I'm here, um...

IDEAS FOR MYXXX

OPTIMISE LANDING PAGE CONTENT MARKETING...

I'm here today to discuss our future together.

[upbeat electro music plays]

[clears throat] I have a few ideas about our customer development to share.

I analysed the user data and it turns out we have

a lot of growth potential among 16- to 20-year-olds.

Look at our vanity metrics: it's clear our engagement rate could be improved.

Maybe a loyalty programme, subscriptions...

Friend referrals, a seal of quality, and gender demographics.

We need some outreach work.

"Girls Day", Instagram, Facebook, Twitter...

With our growth rate and my new ideas, within two years,

we could become the largest supplier of ecstasy in the world.

[chatter in Dutch]

ONE NEW MESSAGE

YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT I FOUND ON DAD'S PHONE.

I have to get going. I have another meeting.

I can drive you, if you want.

Yeah! Thanks.

Hey. I'm not wearing your chemistry T-shirt.

-That's physics. -Whatever!

What do you have against my dating shirt?

I dunno. It just makes...

You're blurry.

What the fuck?

Man, just go inside! If she sees us, we're screwed.

Yeah.

[retro electro music plays]

-[wheelchair rattles] -[music stops]

[Kira] Lenny!

Hey, Kira!

-So I didn't fall for a chatbot after all! -[Dan chuckles]

Crazy!

This is the first time in internet history

that somebody looks better in real life than in their photos.

[Kira] Mm!

[music plays softly in background]

-[Kira] What have you been doing today? -Gaming, of course.

Not on Discord.

Ah, it doesn't always have to be on there... Right?

So what did you play?

Um...

Definitely not God of War, right? [chuckles]

Why not?

It's totally buggy. Do you think we could order here, or...?

[Dan] Excuse me!

Am I making you nervous?

-[clattering] -[chuckles nervously]

Why?

You looked as though I'd started dissing your beloved vi again.

Hm? [chuckles]

My vi...

No, no way! I mean, you can't!

Come on... You can't just do that to my vi!

Is everything okay?

I'll get us something to drink.

[Kira] Hey, Lenny! What is this?

Come back here.

[audio distorts, echoes]

-You have to ask me what I want first. -[chuckles]

-Cherry-banana juice. -Coming right up!

That's the effect I have on women.

[Dan] Should we abort this?

[gasps]

[music grows louder] ♪ Here comes my baby ♪

♪ Where do you belong ♪

♪ My sugar baby ♪

[Kira] Lenny!

Are you going to come over so we can start the real date?

♪ Oh baby ♪

Are you coming?

[traffic rushes by]

[car chimes]

[chuckles]

[horn sounds]

If you keep going, you'll have one of these in your garage soon.

Yeah. An A-level student with a Tesla.

That's why we have the lemonade business!

So no one is surprised that I have a car like this one.

[Maarten] You guys need one too. A fake business.

You should come up with an idea before our next meeting.

And if we don't like it, then we'll have to kill you.

[gulps]

[chuckles]

[both laugh]

And if you can't think of anything,

well, we have a few backup ideas, if you want them.

Yeah. We'll figure something out.

["Wonderful Days" by Charly Lownoise and Mental Theo plays]

MORITZ! HOW WAS ROTTERDAM?

[humming to music]

[car beeps softly]

[truck horn sounds]

[inaudible shouting]

Could we drive a little bit faster?

I'm kind of in a hurry.

If I go any faster, the battery won't last for the drive back.

[car beeps]

ARE WE OFFICIALLY OUT?

HEY. YOU COMING? IT'S ALMOST 6... DAD'S GIRLFRIEND IS HERE

I'M RUNNING LATE...

[phone chimes]

[phone chimes]

[horn sounds]

-What are you doing? -I've only got 5%.

No! That's using up far too much energy. Take it out. Hup!

Hup!

[car chimes]

And that is 2% less.

Thanks a lot.

[horn blares]

-But I never told you my surname. -Yeah, but where you live.

So I just put in "Lennard" and "Rinseln",

and crossed my fingers that you weren't a fifty-year-old funeral director.

Well, he's actually quite cute.

This woman's even smarter than you.

There's absolutely nothing I could have done.

Even with vi and yada yada.

The editors thing? On our first date?

Yeah! Until you finally get it!

Vi has two modes: "non-stop beep" and "break everything".

Is that so? EMacs is much better - until your hands fall off from the shortcuts.

You're lucky you're cute. I don't normally even talk to vi users, actually.

[Dan] Okay freaks, I'll leave you to it.

I'll pick you up in two hours. I saw a McFit.

Make it three.

Okay, then. I'll go to Vapiano, too. Do I get a kiss goodbye?

That was actually pretty hard to do.

Have fun!

[country music plays]

[slurps]

Ah, nice, man. Posh area.

-Doesn't your girlfriend live near here? -Uh... mm-mm.

-Uh-oh! -[tense music plays]

Here. You wanted to expand, right?

Compliments from the chef.

[Maarten] Yeah. I never travel empty.

[exhales]

[dog barks in distance]

[doorbell rings]

[music plays inside]

[Alexa] Can I help you?

Um...

I'm Moritz, Lisa's boyfriend.

I can vouch for him.

-[Michail] Come in, Mo. -[Alexa giggles]

[imitating] "Oh, you hot stud... I had a dream about you!"

[Lisa, imitating] "I could barely stop myself from touching myself all day."

[mellow music plays]

"What were you dreaming of?"

"What do you think I was dreaming of, hm?"

"Tell me, then."

"Well, first,

we went shopping...

And on the escalator, you touched me between my legs.

Then I was standing in the muesli aisle..."

-[groans] Boring. Go to page four. -Where did you get this?

His phone was on the kitchen table. And, so, page four...

-Okay. "We need eggs and..." -Oh Mo, after that.

[Lisa] The bit he wrote.

Moritz?

[groans]

Forget it. I am not reading that!

Do it!

Okay, so... "I'd lick you senseless."

"Oh, yeah, lick me, Superman. I want to come so bad."

It's worse than Jeff Bezos's sexts with that Fox host.

Oh, man. This is shit.

You wait your whole life to grow up,

trying to make sense of the chaos in your head,

only to find out that you're just going to go even more crazy.

[shrieks, laughs]

-[laughing and whooping from outside] -[sighs]

Do you sometimes wish that none of it had happened?

-Hm? -The divorce and all that.

What can I do? Run away?

I can't believe how well you handle it.

How strong you are,

to be able to handle it all.

[soft music plays]

All this shit at home, and at school, and all that...

I think about it sometimes.

How it's all too much for me, and I... I don't know.

I'd understand if you wanted to get away.

But not too far.

["Wann Strahlst Du?" by Erobique and Jacques Palminger plays]

WE'RE OUT NOW, RIGHT?

WHY HAVEN'T YOU CALLED?

EVERYTHING OKAY?

WHY DON'T WE...

TOMORROW 11 A.M. STAIRWELL

[Alexa] Morning.

[toothbrush vibrates]

They'll kill us if we stop now.

-[gulps] -[wheezes]

They said that?

Word for word.

-[retches] -[gulps]

I have to work for them for the rest of my life?

And I won't get any money,

because it's too hard to convert Bitcoins into cash!

-Fuck my life! -What should we do now? [coughs]

Well they said until we hit the five million mark.

[sighs]

Now you tell us!

Well, five each. 15 in total.

[retching]

-Guys, I did the maths. If we... -[Lenny retches]

If we expand and implement some of my new ideas

we can get there easily by the time we graduate.

The Dutch, they had one more condition.

They want us to come up with a fake business.

To launder the money.

That way we can spend some, right?

[whimpers]

[sobs]

[crying] I really didn't want this either.

-[Moritz sobs] -[sighs] Hey.

Hey, Mo! Mo.

-Yeah? -We're a team, okay?

[bumps heads] We're a team, okay?

[whimpers]

Yeah, we're all in this together.

You won't have to do this alone.

Next time, we'll all go and see them.

-No, I can go, I'll be alright. -[Lenny] No, Dan's right.

[sighs] I guess we'll have to make a few more million, hm?

To MyDrugs.

Yeah. Let's do this.

-[slurps] -[alert chimes on phone]

[phone chimes, vibrates]

[school bell rings]

[mid-tempo music plays]

[Moritz] Just between us: always telling the truth is for cowards.

Lying takes courage.

Lies are simply an investment in your future.

And like any good investment, nothing can go wrong,

as long as you stay on top of things.

Come on, Dad! We're gonna be late!

Marie is going horse-riding.

That's nice.

Yeah. You know, at that farm with the mum of the crazy guy

that shot himself the other day.

[gunshot echoes]

She's really nice! But do you know what's even better though?

Lisa is moving in with us.

You said I shouldn't go too far away.

[ominous music plays]

I'll just go tidy my room.

Oh...
