* A woman groans. *

That was nice.

I thought so too.

I mean that was nice for me.

Are you starting again?

Sorry, but you don't want to tell me what the problem is.

*message tone*

Hello? - I have to go again.

Like right now? I'm talking to you.

I have a dentist appointment forget, we'll talk later.

Where are you going, home?

Patrick!

My filling is out.

See you later, yeah? - Patrick...

Bye. - But...

* "Roads" by Portishead *

# How can it feel this wrong

From this moment

How can it feel this wrong? #

Hello Patrick. Are you doing well?

Everything okay.

Glad you could come.

Now all your contacts should be on the new phone. Do you see?

Great.

Thanks, my darling.

* Door opens. * (man) We're back.

But that was quick.

Half the squad didn't show up.

The ref didn't blow the whistle. - Oh, I'm sorry.

Hey big...

*sigh*

Is... Is everything okay? - Sure.

* Steps take off. *

(quietly) Okay, now.

* exciting music *

* dark music *

Hey, it's me again, Emily.

Tell me, Patrick, where are you?

Oliver Radek

Mina Amiri

Alexander of Tal

Alex?

Can we talk for a second? Sure.

Because of your girlfriend...

I broke up with her. It's over.

She has a gun license. I checked.

Are you worried?

She made out my kid,

of course i'm worried.

Have you ever seen a gun on her?

No I have not.

Believe me, it's over. It's not about that.

Someone like that is not to be underestimated.

She wouldn't go that far.

If you say that.

Hello. Can I help you? My friend has disappeared.

Who could sent the message?

Patrick did not have a dentist appointment at least.

I called the practice. He wasn't with his mom,

although the backpack was near there.

His phone wasn't there? No, it's off.

Are there any other places Mr. Seegant might be?

He didn't show up at his company .

I'm seriously worried about Patrick.

Where does Patrick work?

He's training to become a locksmith. His plan B.

He dropped out of high school. Was there a reason?

The pressure to perform. Patrick was having trouble

to concentrate.

Has he behaved differently lately?

Did you have a fight? Between us? No.

But Patrick got kicked out of home three days ago.

Do you know why? No. He didn't want to talk about it.

He was already there when I got home.

Patrick loves to take a shower for what feels like hours.

*loud rock music* Patrick!

* She turns off the music. * What happened?

Come here. Show me, show me, show me! Show me.

*crying quietly* It's alright, it's alright, it's alright.

He's been living with me since then. The apartment is enough for both of us.

How did he get the violet?

He says he tripped.

Do you believe him?

Patrick and his father Wolfgang used to argue.

And now you suspect

that his father was responsible for the violet?

He was in a weird mood when he came home.

With his brother Henry he gets along

and he never said anything negative about his mom Andrea .

Only Wolfgang remains.

How long have you and Patrick been together?

Only half a year. So well I don't know the family yet.

My mom will be here any minute. Mmm.

Would you like a drink? No thanks.

Do you play in a club? - A youth.

What about my brother now?

He was reported missing.

You're both half brothers, aren't you? - Yes, my dad is his stepfather.

Patrick just moved out. Did you hear anything?

Sure, I live here. - And do you know why?

We know he was kicked out and so was his violet.

I... I didn't catch everything.

It wasn't the first time, was it?

Hey, I asked you something, you little asshole!

Wolfgang, please. - You... You shut up.

I let you into my family.

Give me your key. - Wolfgang.

Give me the goddamn key!

Listen: I never want to see you here again.

Out now.

* Door is opened. *

(Henry) "I'll be in my room then."

You weren't interested at all

why your brother was kicked out?

There was a lot of stress. I'm about to graduate,

I've got my head somewhere else right now.

What was it about with all that stress?

Anything.

But never anything serious.

My dad was never good with Patrick.

How is your relationship with Patrick? Good.

That's why I take it with me sometimes. To football?

Yes, or to friends or to a birthday.

Who are you?

Alexander von Tal. LKA, Missing Office.

This is my colleague Lucy Elbe. Aha.

Henry, are you okay? - Yes, Mom.

It's about Patrick.

Could we maybe talk in the living room?

Yes, okay.

A bit unusual

that the little brother takes the big one, right?

He had almost no friends in Berlin .

Didn't grow up here?

My parents took Patrick directly after he was born.

I was only 17 and of course way too young to have a baby.

And its creator went back to the US.

Patrick came into the family later.

My parents lived in Munich and are eight years ago

killed in a car accident killed.

Oh. My husband Wolfgang had a great reaction.

He took Patrick straight in.

Hm. And your son Henry?

He was happy to suddenly have a big brother.

When did you last see him?

Yesterday afternoon. - Yesterday?

He sneaked out of the house when Dad and I got home from soccer.

Patrick stopped by yesterday afternoon,

to help me with my new phone .

Oh I see? It's funny.

You didn't tell his girlfriend Emily that.

No, because he was already gone when Emily rang the bell.

Sneaked out when Wolfgang was in the bathroom.

I wanted to avoid the next fight.

And where is your husband now? At work.

May I check out Patrick's room?

OK.

Yes. Okay good. Yes, thanks.

You say my husband didn't show up for work today.

Did he leave the house normally this morning ?

I haven't seen him.

To be honest, I don't even know if he came home yesterday.

Did he go out again last night?

He always meets up with friends on Thursdays in his local pub.

And since the trouble with Patrick he's sleeping downstairs in the living room.

That's why I was thinking this morning,

he's just gone again.

Can you think of anyone else

that your son had trouble with?

I accidentally opened a letter to him.

It was a warning. Why?

He allegedly beat up a work colleague.

But that doesn't suit him at all.

Mr. Cetin? Yes?

Radek, LKA Missing Office, this is my colleague Amiri.

We are looking for your colleague Patrick Seegant.

Yes and?

We know that you had a fight.

They got into a fight. Not quite. This includes two.

He punched me in the mouth

I couldn't even fight back.

Why he did that?

The guy is completely insane, just unpredictable.

You then reported this to your boss.

Yes, sure. I'm not going to put up with that .

But he didn't throw him out.

Elsewhere, the bum would have been terminated directly.

Patrick Seegant, Locksmith apprentice,

beat up a colleague, allegedly for no reason.

Three days ago he got kicked out at home,

after a fight with the stepfather.

Since then he has lived with Emily Hellmann.

Is there any news from the stepfather yet?

He was yesterday not at the pub,

his wife cannot reach him.

Expulsion and disappearance are very close.

Andrea Roth could not know

that Henry's soccer game was canceled last night.

Patrick meets his stepfather.

The two of them frequently argued with each other.

Maybe the situation escalated again.

Good. What specifically led to the expulsion?

* elevator door *

There is Wolfgang Roth.

Mina? Yes.

Mr. Roth. Thank you for coming.

why should i come here

We're looking for your stepson Patrick.

Where were you last night?

I, um...

I'm late at night, late at night

roamed the streets and had a few beers.

And then... Slept at a friend's on the sofa.

Why didn't you tell your wife?

Um... Things aren't going well here.

maybe it has something to do with

that you kicked out your son ?

* He snorts. *

The boy is 21 and is in college.

At that age didn't live at home anymore.

And that's reason enough to hit him?

Uh... Who says something like that?

Patrick has a violet.

Yes, that... That was a mistake. A mistake.

What was the argument about?

*sigh*

Mr. Roth. You throw your son out of the apartment.

He reappears anyway, just before you get home.

For the time of disappearance you have no alibi.

You get the what this looks like to us.

The boy has a drinking problem. Please?

Patrick has a drinking problem.

Half a year ago even his stomach was pumped out.

I found out later,

because I was on a business trip in Asia at the time. Yes.

And then you throw him out?

I i i...

Three days ago I gave Patrick a choice.

Either he rehabs or he moves out.

(Emily) We rarely drank together,

and he's never drunk coming home from work.

When he came from his parents, there used to be a drink.

But you know of alcohol poisoning?

Yes, of course. I'm a nurse at the hospital,

where he was admitted. That's how we met.

That was a stupid slip.

Emily. You saw him in the shower in an exceptional situation

and we know

that he almost broke the nose of his colleague .

It had nothing to do with alcohol.

Tarek provoked him, I saw it.

I was going to pick him up from work.

Hey! Oh my God.

Do you want to show the boss like this, or what?

I'm sorry I didn't want to

If you're left alone, this happens.

(Patrick) Awesome.

What?

It's awesome that you are so scared of me.

What are you babbling about? - The boss only takes one.

And you think it will be you, you motherfucker?

Have fun with your design. When do you have to hand it in?

Better for you, if you fix that.

Fuck your mother, you bastard.

*painful moan*

Great, you can pick up your resignation next week.

Patrick told me this has been going on for a few months.

*sigh*

I need the job. My girlfriend is pregnant

and with the certificate Patrick will find something everywhere.

Patrick wants to stay with the company.

I didn't do anything to that jerk okay?

When I got home last night

I was at the gas station getting fags. Maybe they filmed me.

You wait here.

What do you mean? Difficult.

Mr. Radek. Ms. Röhl.

We need to speak privately.

Now? We're in the middle of a case. It's important and very confidential.

What's this about? It's about your employees.

Come into my office. Thank you.

* Mina sighs. *

Please. Thank you.

You sit down.

Thank you very much.

* sigh* Yes...

I can imagine how important it is in your profession

that you can trust your colleagues .

Sometimes life depends on it. Get to the point.

I want you to know

that I don't do it out of wounded vanity.

I just think it would be irresponsible

nothing to tell you.

* Door is opened. *

* clear throat *

hey Everything okay?

* Mina sighs. *

That's enough. Alex. Alex!

Thank you for your time .

Anne, what's this about? What are you doing? I didn't want to see you. Goodbye.

What was she doing here?

She wanted to enlighten me about their intimate relationship.

So is it true then?

Radek... Not now.

We need to find Patrick Seegant. Engineering area, now.

*sigh*

fuck

Everything okay?

Have you checked the colleague's alibi?

Uh, yeah. Tarek Cetin was actually around 8pm

buy cigarettes at the gas station. To summarize:

Patrick is thrown out of home due to alcohol problems.

According to Wolfgang Roth. His girlfriend denies alcohol abuse.

Half a year ago but he drinks himself into a coma.

He actually has hardly any social contacts or friends.

Many young people suffer from depression, trauma,

Social Behavior Disorder.

Actually everything applies to Patrick.

He's trying to solve his alcohol problem.

He has difficulty concentrating,

drops out of high school even though he's highly intelligent.

He has social deficits. He likes to withdraw

and in conflict situations reacts extremely.

Either not at all - as in the argument with the stepfather...

... or aggressive - like Tarek Cetin.

Emily says that Patrick always takes a very long shower.

Maybe, to cleanse yourself of something?

According to Emily Hellmannn he mostly drinks

when he comes from his parents.

These are all classic signs

who speak for a victim of violence or abuse.

But no proof yet. But a reasonable suspicion.

*sigh*

hey

Lucy, I'll be right there. Okay.

Are you freaking out now? What was that number?

I just wanted to talk to you again.

You and me, we're special.

There is no such thing as "you and me", do you get that?

I don't want to see you anymore I finally get it!

Alex. We must.

Alex, please. Stop it.

* exciting music *

I really don't know what you're hoping to get out of all this.

He's probably not hiding in that closet .

Lucy.

Whose nightstand is this? - My husband sleeps on the side.

We found these pictures in your bedroom,

in your nightstand.

I don't know the photos.

In the bathroom, sleeping, on the beach.

Yeah, I see that too.

Patrick was twelve, when he came to you,

because he lost his foster parents.

He can now live with his biological mother,

in a real family.

Without knowing that a very other ordeal will soon begin for him.

And to get through this, the boy turns to alcohol.

When you return from a business trip ,

the boy drinks himself into a coma.

What are you trying to say?

Have you abused your stepson?

Please what? Did Patrick want to unpack?

Did you have to prevent that? That's not true.

These are not my pictures. Then how did they get to you?

I don't know. I don't know how they get there, I...

This for example, this is a weekend trip to Mallorca.

Andrea went there alone with the boys . I wasn't there.

These are not my pictures.

I'm not a pedophile.

These are Your recent phone calls.

Why did you call an abuse hotline?

I needed advice, I...

I got lost. You were afraid he would talk!

Mr. Roth, you care about Patrick, I can see that.

So help us find him.

You found out yesterday that he was there, right?

Yes. I saw Patrick leave the house.

Hey wait. Patrick, wait!

What? * sigh *

Please be honest. Is Henry too... I mean...

Did he too... - No.

Your son is fine.

Don't worry. And he doesn't know anything.

Hey, hey, me, me, me... Damn shit.

I don't know either how to proceed now.

Oh, and how should I know?

My things you've already packed.

I'll pick her up next week.

Just put them in front of the door.

What are you planning now?

you tell me

hey...

Yeah, and then...I just walked the streets.

What did Patrick mean by this: "Henry is fine"?

Andrea had a different relationship with Patrick from the beginning .

I should have noticed that.

Maybe I didn't want to see that either.

I came home early three days ago .

* dramatic music *

* A woman groans. *

*loud breathing*

*moaning in pleasure*

*moan*

*moan*

* She moans. *

* She keeps moaning. *

Wolfgang!

Don't! - Get out, get out!

* Patrick sobs. *

* Music swells and fades away. *

I... I know I shouldn't have hit him.

But he slept with my wife.

Which side do you sleep on in your shared bed?

Uh... On the left.

How so?

*shaky breathing*

The photos in the bedside table you took them, right?

It was your side of the bed.

Your bedside table, right?

Ms. Roth! Yes.

We just found each other .

I've had such a longing for my child all these years.

I just wanted to be there for him.

* sobs* I just wanted to be there for him.

Take a deep breath.

Patrick didn't resign because of his stepfather's return

drank into a coma,

but because he wanted to forget the last few days with his mother.

Yes. And apparently he has the role

that he had to play with his mother

automatically too taken at his girlfriend.

Hence his sexual problems. Yes.

* Door is opened. *

* Door slams. *

Thank you. * sad music*

Are you okay? - Yes.

Did you have a fight between you?

Did Patrick want to go to the police?

Police? How so?

Because we love each other?

Because I love him? Is that forbidden?

It was nice for him too.

We both wanted to be there for each other

Ms. Roth?

What you did that's wrong.

This is not mutual.

I just wanted Patrick to be with me.

And make up for the time that was taken from us, no more.

Ms. Roth, where's Patrick? - I don't know.

But he'll be home, I'm sure of that.

And I'll always be there for him no matter what happens.

Andrea Roth abused her son.

Yes. And Patrick was scared of losing his mother again.

He had to allow this false proximity,

so as not to growing up without motherly love.

A perfidious dependency relationship.

But she is also dependent on him,

she doesn't want to lose him and makes him disappear?

Hm. What about Henry?

The felt big brother... ... where everything runs smoothly.

He is doing his Abitur, is a soccer player,

but has to fight for his mother's love.

It's focused on Patrick.

Where was he when Wolfgang Roth surprised his wife with Patrick?

He says he only got kicked out.

Maybe more.

He would definitely have a motive. Mhm.

* exciting music *

* He sniffs. *

*muffled lute*

* He moans. * Henry.

What's the matter with you? What's all this about?

What is this all about?

What is this all about?

Are you still asking that, you asshole?

i saw you

you and mom.

You don't get it.

I took care of you when you didn't have one.

I took you to my friends!

Do you think it was me?

Because I enjoyed it?

Dad kicked you out and you keep coming back!

You shall get out of our lives get out. Forever!

Mom kept coming to me. - Shut up!

Here's a touch. There are two of us in the bathroom.

"There's nothing wrong. All harmless."

Those were mom's words.

You're trying to save your ass.

That's why you blame everything on mom.

You motherfucker ruined everything.

Henry, we're still family.

We never were.

* exciting music *

Somewhere here his phone is logged in.

Drink! Go away, you bastard!

* He gasps for air. *

This is for fucking mom

* Cough *

*clink*

You fucked Mom and just keep going!

Police! Henry! Put down the bottle!

Henry, cut that shit!

You don't know anything. - We know what happened.

Henry, it's not Patrick's fault.

And why does he keep coming back?

Why is he seeing secretly with mom?

Because he has no one else.

man, Henry.

You guys are real brothers now.

no

Henry. Your mother abused your brother.

It is not his fault. Please!

Henry. Now please put that bottle down.

OK? Let's end this all.

OK. Yes. That's okay.

Hey Patrick. Stay with me, yes? hey Shit.

Yes, Alex von Tal here. We need an RTW, please.

Good, thanks. Breathe nice, keep breathing.

and then we'll talk about everything, quietly.

No, there's nothing to talk about.

It's your fault, you alone.

You know that very well, Mina.

Mom, what are you doing here?

Bela. It's all ok. We just talk. Go to sleep.

Bela? Well, remember me?

Yes? Bela.
