Excuse me. Is this Ms. Flemming's room?

Who's asking?

How is she, after the stroke? Are there any after-effects?

I'm afraid, I can't comment on that.

I understand, but...I'd be really grateful for any information you can give me.

Put it away right now!

Excuse me? Who are you?

Dr. Gerner! How is your ex-wife? Is she ever going to be able to go back to work? What about Metropolitan Trends?

Get lost. Right now.

- But the public has a right to know the truth. - Leave, or you're looking at a lawsuit.

C�ster and Seefeld want to give it another try at Bakshi's home.

And what about the appointment?

Bakshi didn't show up.

So far, all we have is the testimony of a legal adviser, and he denies the plagiary of course.

Figures.

Don't worry, Kathrin. We'll get a handle on it.

Yes?

Hey.

Jasmin

Um, I...brought you something to eat from the Mauerwerk. I mean, who can bear hospital food in the long run?

That's sweet of you.

About earlier...when Johanna was here. I'm sorry. I guess I over-reacted.

That's ok. I really should have been more attentive.

Ok, I'm gonna go get some silverware.

Alright. I'm gonna take off now too. See you.

Jasmin?

Has the press approached you yet?

The press?

There was a journalist here, asking questions about Kathrin. Apparently they already know about the stroke.

Oh shit.

Did they talk to you?

No, what makes you think that?

Then I wonder where the woman got her information from.

You know how journalists are. They are relentless and have their informants everywhere.

Should anyone approach you or ask questions, just don't say anything.

Of course!

Ms. H�usler? This is Jasmin Flemming.

Ms. Flemming, good to see you.

Don't bother.

I'm sorry, but YOU wanted to talk to me.

You looked for my mother at the hospital, didn't you?

What makes you say that?

You're the only one who knows about the stroke.

You promised me you'd keep my mother out of it.

Well, I am a journalist. Of course I look at the bigger picture, it's part of the job.

So you admit it.

What do you expect? I can't exactly write about your present state, leaving out such dramatic incidents!

It would be sloppy work, and unfair to you.

Ok, have a seat.

I'll make you an offer.

Okay?

- You get an exclusive interview with me. I'll tell you everything. About Kurt LeRoy, about the reality show, and about me. - Sounds good.

Ok. But you leave my mother out of it!

Not one word about her in the press.

Agreed.

So I'm anxious to hear what you have to say.

Now?

Well, since I'm here.

Ok.

Ready?

Yes.

Ms. Flemming, since the first episode of Kurt&Jasmin Backstage aired, in the public eye, you are nothing but the bitch by Kurt's side.

What do you have to say to that?

Would you like me to help you?

I'm spreading butter on my bread. I can handle it myself.

I'm sorry.

It's ok.

Um...so here are your favorites. I tagged pictures to all the numbers, so all you have to do is click on the picture, and then it dials automatically.

Great. Thank you!

It's tough on you, isn't it?

I'm an editor who can neither read nor write. It's...brutal.

Doesn't mean it's going to stay like this forever.

Who knows.

I know it. And Dr. Friedmann said alexia is curable too.

Can be curable.

Kathrin? You're a fighter. Otherwise you wouldn't have survived the stroke.

Thank you.

All things considered, we have reason to be optimistic.

And what makes you this optimistic?

Well, your speech is almost back to normal, the fine motor skills are improving. I'm going to state so in my report to my colleagues in Tessin.

Will I ever be able to read again?

Like I told you before, we have to wait and see.

Do you see that?

That's me in that picture!

Give me that.

Let me see.

What does it say? Tell me.

'Jasmin Flemming. Scared to death for her mother.'

And what else? There's more!

Ms. Flemming...

I'm gonna find out anyway!

'Bitter days for...party whore Jasmin Flemming.'

'First the disastrous premiere of her reality show, and now she has to deal with her mother's stroke on top of it.'

'Exclusively, she tells us how she's coping with all this.'

Morning.

Are you excited about the rehabilitation?

I brought some of your things.

Is everything ok?

I guess you thought I wouldn't find out!

I don't understand...

That's what it looks like to me too.

'Jasmin Flemming - Exclusively. First beatings from everyone, and then her mother suffers a stroke.'

Viper!

- Wait, you don't seriously think that...? - Yes! That's exactly what I think! You exposed me publicly!

Did you or did not give this woman an interview?

Yes, but I had a deal with her, that she wouldn't write anything about you!

And you believed her...

Kathrin, the only reason I let her interview me, was so that she would leave you alone!

How did she know I was in the hospital in the first place?

I let it slip, but I wanted to put things right this way!

You really do think about nothing but yourself!

Kathrin, that's not true. This woman used me!

Yeah. All you cared about was your image, your ridiculous career in third-class media.

You thought with a sick mother...you would earn some pity.

Kathrin, please.

I asked you not to tell anyone about my stroke!

And you know perfectly what it means for me, professionally and personally!

But that's exactly why you should believe me!

Get out. Get out! I don't want to see you here ever again!
