NOTHING IS GOOD OR BAD. THOUGHT MAKES IT SUCH.

Happy Birthday...

Happy birthday, dear Anna, happy Birthday.

Make a wish.

Shit.

Hello, my name is Karsten B�hm. 58 rue Lenne.

An ambulance, quickly.

IN JUST ONE TIME (AUF EINMAL)

You don't have to come.

We reached out to her husband.

Anna arrived with Caro.

Caro is a friend of Judith.

Judith is the girlfriend from my colleague Florian.

I didn't know Anna.

We had a party.

Everybody is gone At three o'clock.

Except Anna.

She stayed.

She looked sad.

She told me that it was his birthday.

We toasted.

And suddenly ...

she had difficulty breathing.

She was hot and dizzy.

At first, I thought it was alcohol

and I didn't do anything.

But it got worse.

Why don't you called for help?

I first thought of the clinic because ...

it's close to here.

I walk past every day.

I must have thought that it would be faster.

How would I have known that it was closed?

Interesting.

Even a child would have called help right away, right?

Yes.

Of course.

In hindsight, I would say the same thing, but ...

I was drunk. It happened so quickly ...

I don't know why I did this.

Your round trip took how long?

Ten minutes. Fifteen, at most.

Have you had sex?

No.

I ... live with my girlfriend.

- But she wasn't there. - She's on a business trip.

Was there an altercation, an argument between you?

I said I didn't know Anna.

No need to know each other for this ...

Nothing like that happened.

So the hematoma on his arm has nothing to do with you, is that?

What hematoma?

I have to lie down.

What happened?

Leave him alone.

I spoke to your father on the phone.

You are gone for ten to fifteen minutes.

The autopsy report will be decisive.

He will tell us if, in that time,

the life of the deceased could have been saved.

You could be indicted

for non-assistance or manslaughter.

But we are not there.

But Karsten did help.

He went to the clinic. It is not there for nothing if it was closed.

If it had been opened and if he had returned with a doctor,

there would have been actual assistance.

He did not call for help within the first ten minutes.

It's a fact.

But in case of stress, we can react strangely.

What matters is the reaction from Mrs Kowaljow's family.

Since our conversation, I gathered information.

Anna Kowaljow: 29 years old,

married for seven years

� Andrej Kowaljow, who works here at the factory.

They have a five year old daughter.

What?

Kowaljow has a child?

Yes.

Germano-Russians settled here.

My God. I see.

What do you see ?

Who knows what his intentions were. It may be bad for good.

Dad, that's enough.

Mr. Reiss ... Me, my son, my father

were born and raised here.

We never had of problem with justice.

Honorable citizens doing their duty.

Your stepfather knows well our family. You understand ?

Yes. Don't worry.

For now, there is no investigation against Karsten.

Let's wait.

But above all, talk To the police was a mistake.

It was necessary to immediately call a lawyer.

From now on, don't talk to anyone of that night.

Just live your life

as if nothing had happened.

I can't believe it.

We take out the dumplings.

I'm taking care of it.

Here it is.

- I can help. - I do it, it's faster.

So I put the plates.

Yes.

Top left, on entering.

It smells very good.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

Not for me, thank you.

It's for you. You love it.

Come on. Just a little bit.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

- Well ... Health! - Health!

- Health! - Health!

- Bon app�tit. - Bon app�tit.

- Delicious. - So much the better.

Are you staying in the dark?

I like like that.

- Can I light? - No.

Unless you want to.

How do you feel ?

Naze.

What did you talk about with your father?

Tell me.

Come on tell me.

What if your parents come home?

Hold on.

Hold on.

Sorry.

It's nothing.

- How are you? - Way.

- Sorry for what happened. - Thank you.

I can not believe it. She looked fine.

- Yeah, right? - Yes.

I can not believe it.

Will it go?

- Well, that should. - Yes ?

Tell me...

O� Judith and Caro have they met Anna?

Judith did not know her.

- What? - No.

Ah.

Why ?

I was thinking...

that Caro had brought to Anna, that they all knew each other.

I do not know...

We learned. Really sorry.

Thank you.

- How are you? - More or less. Thank you.

Florian says she was young.

Yes that's right.

This is insane.

Can we die at this age?

I do not know.

Was she ill?

Maybe.

Caro, it's Karsten again. Call me back as soon as you can.

Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Kr�ger.

- I'll do the mat. - Perfect.

- I'll do the windows on Wednesday. - Heard.

I found these tights by putting the cupboard away.

They are not mine.

I know it.

Do you know where they come from?

They were in the living room after the party.

I put them in the cupboard, I was thinking...

They must be Anna's, right?

Who else?

And you put them away. I do not understand.

It was not necessary that the police find them.

Why?

You know what they would have thought.

If they'd seen them ...

they could have misunderstood each other.

To think that I had taken them away from him.

I didn't want to throw them away in case they were helpful.

Did you take them away from him?

No. I did not do it...

What do we do with it?

I'll throw them away, that's all.

Okay.

Hi !

Are you?

The police called me.

They still wanted to talk to me.

I don't know why.

I said that I had already said everything in my deposition, but ...

Do I have to be vigilant?

No. Why?

I don't know, I'm asking you.

- Do you think I'm hiding something? - Not at all.

- You want to cover me? - I ask, that's all!

Just tell me the truth, Stephan.

What is the problem?

- There is no problem. - So ?

I was wondering if I had to know anything.

So as not to put you in difficulty.

- Why are you on edge? - I'm not.

- Hi. - How are you?

- Well. And you ? - Well.

- Hi, Caro. - Hi.

Yum.

- Is Judith here? - In the kitchen.

- Hi, Caro! - Hi !

- How are you? - Well. And you ?

Well.

I wanted to join you. Your cell phone was off.

- I was with my aunt in the country. - I see.

I just got home. I have learned... I am so sorry.

Thank you.

I wanted to ask you...

- A glass of wine ? - Yes.

- Me too. - Okay.

- Caro! Was it good, the ascent? - No !

Are you?

I just saw Juliane.

She always takes herself head with his boss.

And ... she told me ...

that a friend to she is a friend on Facebook with this famous boss.

- Some wine ? - Gladly.

He posted a picture of them on the beach.

Juliane took the picture

and put on a huge emoticon on his boss's big belly ...

I know.

She drew a big emoticon on her stomach

and sent it to her husband.

But instead of that, she mistakenly sent it to her boss.

- No ! - Not possible.

You have the right to laugh.

- He fired her? - No. I would have done it.

You speak !

Her subconscious sent her, he's too boring.

It's true.

- Cooked trout. - I want peppers.

I take care of the tomatoes.

I'm bringing something back.

It looks good.

- How was the countryside? - Well.

Tell me, Anna and you ... How did you know each other?

I didn't want to talk about it so as not to upset you.

But the time has come.

Wait Caro, stay.

The police called me about of my relationship with Anna.

And?

I was very surprised. I did not know her.

Didn't you know her?

You told them I brought her. But she was not with me.

- But you came together. - No.

When I arrived at your place,

she was in front of the building.

I rang ...

No one answered and she said to me: "They can't hear you."

I thought she was also waiting that you open it.

Then I called your cell phone. You weren't answering.

We were there, waiting.

I smoked a cigarette.

Anna didn't want it.

You ended up calling me back.

You opened, we entered both

and we went upstairs.

It's like that. I did not know her.

So nobody knew her?

Apparently.

Apparently !

You did not ask where did she know us?

No.

But I introduced myself. You must have noticed it.

- No. - How it is possible ?

Even though ...

you thought she was a friend of mine ...

It's okay to ask where we know each other!

- Have you ever seen her with me and Laura? - she could have been a colleague.

You could have at least asked me.

You bring someone back that nobody knows.

- Sorry. - You find someone in the street.

Sorry, that was a mistake. I did not want.

Awesome.

- When I arrived, I had already drunk. - We had all been drinking, Caro!

Okay...

She is not dead because you brought her.

It is true.

But she could have do not die with us.

Karsten too could have ask who she was.

- When? - Why Karsten?

- He didn't show up. - You could have done that too.

When Karsten had the chance, she felt bad.

- Is not it ? - Yes !

What is done is done.

It's like that ...

a stranger has entered. Maybe it was a thief.

Nothing is missing ?

No.

If that was her plan, she would have taken what she wanted and would be gone.

For me...

she didn't want to leave.

Maybe she was running from someone.

I filmed the evening. You want to see ?

- They are getting married. - We will get married !

I'm going to get married too!

Don't put it on Facebook!

That's crazy. I do not remember.

We had all been drinking.

No clue.

I remember only one thing.

She looked sad.

For me it was someone ...

who had a problem.

I haven't told anyone, but ...

I'm afraid ... that she committed suicide.

- What do you mean ? - No idea ...

We talked about it just before.

She was on the balcony.

I thought she was going to jump. I asked if she was suicidal.

After that, she felt bad. It's weird, isn't it?

She didn't seem suicidal to me at all.

But I didn't speak to him for long.

What did you talk about?

You're welcome, actually. We greeted each other ...

But...

she seemed fit and happy.

It's funny, all men remember her.

- Karsten, you have to tell the police. - Yes.

You should have talked about it.

What?

It wasn't a secret. I didn't remember it.

At the time, I thought that we were just chatting.

We reap what we sow.

What do you want, Judith?

I wonder what a married woman was alone with a stranger.

It's amazing to see the meanness of women among themselves.

I should respect her just because she died?

Do you think I haven't seen?

Of course you saw.

You flirted with her from the start.

And after our departure, she was the only one to stay.

Do you think I haven't seen?

- Of course. - Perfect...

Women see better than men.

Even things that don't exist.

- You deny it? - There is nothing to deny, Judith.

What do you claim to have seen?

Let's go get Laura and let's discuss all three of them.

Your relationship and what Laura thinks do not interest me.

But deceiving is repugnant.

And I think you lie like a pro.

Kiss my ass.

Why didn't you say that she wanted to jump?

I already told you, I forgot.

I tell you everything, even what I forget.

How do you remember what are you forgetting?

Finally !

- Have I ever hid something from you? - Do you know what it looked like?

All think that you are hiding something from me.

- I felt like a jerk. - Finally, Laura.

You make up your mind.

She was wearing the tights.

I saw it on the video. She was wearing the tights from your drawer.

At least we know they were hers.

That means she wore them at the start.

She took them out after they leave, eh?

I know what you are thinking.

I didn't sleep with her, Laura.

They shouldn't have mentioned that you work here.

Shit...

I don't know how they found out.

I haven't told anyone about it, Apart from the police.

Listen, Mr. B�hm.

All customers who know you want to talk about it.

I imagine it will be very unpleasant for you.

I thought about it and I offer you this:

You and Mr. Kr�ger should switch your posts while it calms down.

He will take care of your customers.

And you...

you will arrange your affairs behind the scenes.

We will talk about this later.

I got rid of everything.

I saw.

It is not necessary. It's just temporary.

I hope that I will not stay here again.

You are well off up there.

There is a lot to do.

You can bring them back to me when will it be done?

� more.

Hi Laura, it's me. I just got home.

I went out to dinner.

You seem to have done the same.

Call me when you can.

You do not sleep ?

I was worried about you.

You didn't call me back.

I did not have any more batteries.

When we want, we always manage to call.

When we want...

You think it was voluntary from me ?

So...

Was it?

I was with Judith, I did not see the time pass.

Is the carpet gone?

Or am I too drunk to see it?

No, I put it away.

- Is that so ? - Yes, it's in the cupboard.

Why ?

I couldn't stand seeing him anymore.

She is really nice.

Are you punishing me now?

I have a reason?

You are looking for one, it shows.

What, the newspaper?

This is it.

Whatever.

The article made me upset,

I admit it.

When you talk to me like this I doubt myself.

I feel like I'm crazy not to make a scene for yourself.

Anyone would.

- Was it Judith who gave you the idea? - Can I have it on my own?

You can't see that from my point of view ?

Good God !

- You know I'm in deep trouble? - Why are you dramatizing?

I wanted to speak to you in person.

I received it from the police yesterday.

Karsten is summoned,

no longer as a witness, but as a suspect ...

What?

It's not so bad, It gives me access to the files.

We'll have the autopsy result.

Then I'll try to make a deal with Anna's family.

If they accept, I can negotiate with the prosecution

to close the case.

Beware of these people.

If they find an angle of attack, they will use it.

I hope we can agree on an amount.

- You have nothing against them? - No.

I don't want to go back ...

Not to the police.

No i want you to use your right not to testify.

- I arranged that. - Perfect.

Arranged what?

Mr. Reiss suggested that we attend both at the opening

of the Adventure Elevator.

I have everything arranged.

We have bad press.

You have to escape To general attention.

Laura!

- Goodbye ! - Goodbye.

What do you think ?

Are you going to stay long with Judith?

To be honest ...

I don't want to go back to the apartment.

I can ask the real estate agent to find something else.

We quickly empty the old one and ...

I can't search a new apartment.

Impossible.

No need.

I'll take care of it.

- It will suffice to ... - I do not want.

You're welcome.

There is no way out.

You have found a suitable pretext to leave me.

You have no idea what I'm going through.

The staring of people...

I can't go back and pretend nothing has happened.

Everything is clear.

You dump me, huh?

When I need you

I can't believe it.

It is inconceivable!

Where did you get this idea from?

Have you gone mad?

Have you gone mad or what?

The municipality and myself are proud of this new attraction,

and I am certain

she will benefit To all our fellow citizens.

This is thanks to the support of the Cultural Foundation

and many gifts of the inhabitants of Altena

that we built this elevator. My thanks to all of you.

I invite Mr. B�hm, representative donors, to join me.

The Adventure Elevator would not exist without your generosity.

Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Mayor.

Ladies and gentlemen, you know it,

my family supports the city of Altena for generations.

It's our duty Obvious to this city.

I would like to emphasize that it's my son Karsten ...

my son Karsten who gave me the idea

to contribute to the financing of the Adventure Elevator.

Happy ascent to all. Thank you.

"Our clinic has never been open only during the day.

"It has been closed at night for five years.

"Please take note."

Why didn't I call� an ambulance ?

I am an idiot.

- I'm an idiot, an idiot ... - It's wrong.

Stop that.

It's all my fault.

No, Karsten.

Don't get into it. You haven't done anything wrong.

Unbelievable.

You don't care if I'm guilty or not.

You only think about yourself. Selfish!

That's enough!

Tell us now

why were you running like crazy?

- What were you thinking? - Karin!

No, let him talk.

I want to understand what went through his mind.

Why were you running all over the place?

That's right, I ...

I did not call for an ambulance.

I was scared.

I ran away.

You know what I thought seeing Anna lying down?

No one has to know!

Karsten, the perfect son must not make waves.

I wanted to settle it without fuss.

Quietly.

You see ?

And you know the worst?

I am like you.

I am yours.

Anna's family won't negotiate.

They don't want money.

What do they want, then?

They might go to court

to prove that Anna hadn't done anything wrong.

Which means ?

That you will testify in court.

What?

This is nothing to worry about.

- Are you kidding? - It's not jail time.

Holy shit.

Ms Kowaljow had asthma.

She died of cardiac arrhythmia and respiratory failure.

The cause is the interaction between his treatment and alcohol.

You understand ?

According to this document, the report the legal practitioner will be decisive.

He will tell us

if Anna could have been saved within the first 15 minutes.

But finally...

I didn't know anything about his asthma.

It's not as bad as it looks.

You always say the same thing!

How could it be worse?

If you are condemned, you will only get a fine.

But I will have been found guilty!

Calm down.

Let's wait for the trial.

Professor Schneider, please come forward.

Tell us about your report.

The results of the blood test show that Anna Kowaljow

had not taken any narcotics.

His death was due to the effects of alcohol,

from the asthma she suffered from

and the resulting cardiac arrhythmia.

This arrhythmia is a side effect

Bambuterol, an anti-asthma medication found in his blood.

Otherwise, there is no sign of rape

nor consent.

However, this cannot be excluded when using a condom.

Hematoma on the left arm by Ms. Kowaljow

date of at least 24 hours before his death.

Do you think the death of the deceased

could have been prevented or significantly delayed

by medical intervention administered on time?

I cannot guarantee

a one-off paramedical aid would have saved her.

Maybe with heart massage, but ... it's not sure.

Thanks, professor. You can return to your seat.

Judge, Ms. Sergeyevic wishes to speak.

You're welcome.

I will speak standing up.

I lost my daughter.

Do you have children?

Do you know what means

the loss of a child?

This is the worst thing

that could happen.

I don't understand that we run out

without seeking help that someone needs,

like my daughter.

From one person as little educated as me,

I would have understood. But...

You?

You could have helped him.

Why didn't you call� an ambulance ?

Why didn't he help my daughter?

I don't understand it.

I let you decide

in your soul and consciousness.

We're going to take a 15-minute break.

The meeting is adjourned.

The trial will resume

in this court Wednesday at 9 a.m.

Screw you !

Assholes!

What?

Wake up.

What are you doing here ?

You can not...

Everyone is looking for you.

Come on, here Stephan.

I found it.

Where I thought.

No problem, he's fine.

Wait.

Your father.

It goes.

No, I forgot my cell phone. Yes.

What are you saying ?

Why ?

What does the lawyer say?

Well.

I'll be there. See you soon.

Andrey Kowaljow withdraws his complaint.

That's why we're looking for you.

Strange, isn't it?

Is there a problem?

Why do that?

Rejoice.

The trial will continue.

Yes, but...

If I had ended the evening ...

she might be alive.

I do not know...

Fate catches up with us all.

Do you believe in fate now?

Well...

if it helps?

What would you have done in my place?

Everyone gone

you are left alone ...

She looked at me too!

Don't be so hard on yourself.

Do I really deserve this?

Why am I being punished like this?

To be punished for his weaknesses?

I do not believe it.

Let's go.

"Stop brooding over the past."

Hello.

I came to see you for ...

You leave me at the door, it's normal.

I...

I want to know why you withdraw the complaint.

I did not know that Anna was from Russia.

She had little accent.

Anna was trying to lose her accent.

Her comrades laughed at her When he arrived in Germany.

And you...

you came later?

Why ?

Well...

you are not from here, it shows.

Are you from immigration?

You loved Anna, didn't you?

I do not know how...

tell the truth without hurting yourself.

But on coming, I decided to be frank.

Do you believe in God ?

According to Voltaire, if God did not exist, it would have to be invented.

I don't know a Voltaire.

IM asking you.

What are you doing ?

Do not get on !

Come down.

Let's go. Please.

Come down.

It's too high, you'll hurt yourself.

If you fall ... it's too high.

She went upstairs. I wanted...

She doesn't want to come down.

Come on, she will bring maybe candy.

What did she say?

His last words?

That she wanted to get out of here.

I was pushed into this situation.

What?

Behind.

I do not understand.

Who pushed you?

Anna.

What do you mean ?

She didn't tell me she was married.

She didn't tell me ...

that she had a child, a family.

Not a word.

There was no more honest than Anna.

Whatever happens.

She was so sad that night.

Depressed.

And...

as she did not tell me about you ...

I thought she had quarreled with his boyfriend.

That this had degenerated.

You invent everything.

That's all.

Maybe.

But...

and its hematomas?

I didn't tell the police, but ...

Anna committed suicide.

Suicide? You are crazy. What are you talking about ?

Tell me, then ...

why, knowing he is ill

and under treatment,

would she have drunk so much?

What was she doing with me On his birthday?

His birthday.

With a guy she had never seen.

Instead of you ...

her husband ?

She was running away from you, wasn't she?

What did you come here to do?

What are you expecting from me ?

Did you think I would fall to my knees?

That I would thank you?

Why did you withdraw your complaint?

Nobody does that

just to be of service.

You have to have a reason to be of service.

If you had treated your wife like me,

she would never have run away.

You asshole.

Manure.

Who are you then?

Are you going to lecture me?

Why didn't you say at the beginning that Anna had asthma?

Why have you waited so long?

Until the autopsy reveals it?

You let me run into a trap.

Then you got scared

and you have withdrawn the complaint

so as not to have the role of the cuckold.

Is that good?

I felt sorry for myself.

But seeing you ...

At least I don't as much pity as you.

You bastard.

Thank you.

Karsten!

Congratulations.

I'm happy for you.

Girls too. Everybody.

We must celebrate that.

Shall we have a drink tonight?

I do not know...

I'm a little bit surprised.

Are these excuses?

Listen ...

I imagine what you may have been through.

We didn't see each other much lately, but ...

I do not know if I will easily pass the sponge.

Sorry to interrupt you, duty does not wait.

- Can you complete this file? - Of course.

Soon, okay?

Thank you for your time.

Anyway, I wanted to see you.

I'm glad it's over.

Me too.

This is why I am here.

I will be brief:

Without having any

the right and without it being necessary,

you demoted me ...

And you replaced me� by a very zealous colleague

- but clearly less qualified. - Listen ...

I suffered significant damage.

- My lawyer advises me to continue. - What?

I could also spread it all out, talk to the press.

Newspapers love this kind of story.

But I don't want to come to that.

I have a proposal for you.

If you accept my offer, I forget everything.

I will not give in to blackmail.

No !

There is no question of blackmail. I give you a chance.

A chance to correct your mistake.

You put me in the closet.

You persecuted me.

I was treated like a criminal,

without the slightest charge against me.

Mr. B�hm, I just wanted to protect you.

You were thinking of the image of the bank.

Maybe right, but it was illegal.

So...

I would like a seat on the board as branch manager.

And the team would be more serene

if you would declare happy with my innocence.

Thank you.

Small...

but impressive!

Looks like my first apartment.

It is true.

Do you like it?

It is well located.

- Things will work out. - Of course.

You still have those old books.

I can't throw them away.

There are some with my parents, but most are there.

Health.

Anyway, I need to clean up.

- Thanks for coming. - You're welcome.

It's mine's turn.

- Sorry. - Let it flow.

But it surprised me ...

to see you so quickly.

You called, I came.

Yes, of course ...

Considering our conversation with Florian,

I didn't think you would come.

Yes...

Why did you want to like that?

That was bastard of you.

Yes...

But I wonder ...

why do you care so much of what I do ...

what I have in mind ...

all of that.

I mean ... I'm flattered. It's awesome.

I feel protected.

Friends are there for that. It's normal.

Really ?

I just think ...

whatever you want to humiliate me,

either you adore me.

This is strange.

I don't know what you want from me.

I just wanna talk.

Are you trying to humiliate me?

Of course not.

I just find it strange that ...

you still stick to me.

You seem like you can't forget me.

This is really ...

Do you know I'm engaged to Florian?

Florian is a sissy.

- It's wrong. - No.

- You mean my fianc�! - A sissy.

- This is not true! - Yes, and you know it.

You deserve better.

- Why are you bothering? - It's wrong.

- He's the best that ever happened to me. - Friends are here for that.

And you, you know what is best for me?

I believe him.

And what is it for you?

Thoughtful.

You still think about me, eh?

Is it not true?

I am right.

No ?

You really are an asshole ...

Judith, wait.

Stop.

Let's go.

Tell me.

Tell me what you want.

What do you want ?

Sleep with me.

- Stronger. - Sleep with me.

Stronger !

- Stronger ! - Fuck me!

Fuck me!

Take your time.

Sleep with me.

- Stronger. - Sleep with me.

Again ? Okay.

Fuck me!

You pushed Laura into it, didn't you?

To leave me.

I expect little from you, Judith.

Just talk to Laura ...

What is it ?

- Give me the phone. - No.

Give it to me.

- Give me that! - Do not touch me !

Make Laura talk to me and I will erase this ...

and Florian will never hear of it.

I swear.

On my honor.
