[bunniefuu]

700 angels trapped in the fire

Teenage

girls getting high on desire

Keep on, because it is painful

Keep on, because it is painful

Since you lied I have

been lost in a dream

People buy tickets

Just to look inside me

I keep on, because it is painful

Keep on, because it is painful

Come and look inside me

Come and look inside me

- The backstage pass please.

- What?

- The backstage pass.

- Uh, they're waiting in there for this.

I'm sorry. These are

the rules. The passport.

Thanks.

- This is a special moment.

- Hey.

Because today I am handing over

the company to my granddaughter Elle Tannen.

Nobody but me

understands Margo better than Elle.

She has lived in Margo's

world since she was a child.

The house

is not just a part of her life,

it is her life.

And I

know you're ready now.

Tonight we will

Witnessing the new birth of Margo.

The continuation of proven tradition

with the spirit of a new generation.

My darling.

Yes.

Hey.

Ben.

I'm not paying

you to stare. Come.

Congratulations.

- Thanks.

- I am so happy for you.

- You were gorgeous.

- Thank you so much.

There she is. The

new boss.

Abel.

Did I miss everything?

- Have you been drinking?

- What? No.

Hey!

Hey, hey, everything's

fine. He is my father.

It's good.

- Come on.

- Sorry. Sorry.

- It's all okay.

- Come on, I'll, uh, call you a taxi.

No, no, I can do

that alone. I... I'm sorry.

I congratulate you.

Yes.

- Thanks.

- Where to go with it?

- I can do it.

- Clear.

- Thanks. Um...

- Ben.

Ben.

Elle.

I know.

I've always loved it,

to touch the fabrics.

When I was little, I used to

sneak around to see the clothes.

The feeling of touching her.

The smell.

Now you don't have to

sneak up on me anymore.

Hello? Hello?

Funny. Last time there

was someone else here.

- Good morning, sleepyhead.

- Hey.

- I guess yesterday was a success.

- Mhm.

Your coronation celebration.

Just kidding.

Yes, it's crazy.

When the time comes suddenly.

I would have liked

to have been there.

It's nice that you're here now.

And have you thought about

something for today?

- Elle?

- Hm?

- Understood?

- Sorry, did you say something?

I asked how

you imagined your debut as boss.

I would like to know what's

going on with Chris Kessler.

- How come?

- He is still our finance director.

He's been on sick

leave for weeks.

Nobody reaches him.

Probably something personal.

Hmm. As the new managing

director, I should talk to him first.

Clear.

Oh. Elle.

- I hope I'm not disturbing you.

- Congratulations.

- Thanks. This is a big task.

- Yes.

I'd like to know what's

going on with you.

How are you doing?

Honestly, uh... I'll

inform the board that I...

...that I'm leaving Margo.

- We want to keep you in the company.

- I don't feel particularly good.

- I'm sorry, but...

- I'm sorry.

Good morning.

I'm really looking forward

to it, together with you

to open this new

chapter of Margo.

Don't pay attention to me.

Before we begin,

Unfortunately, Chris Kessler informed me

that he will not

return to the company.

What?

I can't believe that at all.

Um, unfortunately it is like that.

I was with him earlier.

Now we have to look forward.

That's why I want to make an announcement.

I want Thilo

a warm welcome

as Margo's new CFO.

Thanks.

We should have talked about this beforehand.

Is it good if we are married

and continue to work together?

- What?

- I'll get the same position somewhere else.

And I'll stay with my father on

the supervisory board anyway.

Don't get me wrong, okay?

I thought we were a team.

I need you here.

Mmm.

You know, I...

We should move up our wedding.

Why is that?

We don't have a problem

with premarital sex.

But I find the idea of you being

completely mine so incredibly sexy.

Hm.

- That sounded better in my head.

- Yes.

But feel free to pretend like we're

already married if that turns you on.

okay.

Not like that. I want a show.

- A show?

- Yes.

Okay.

okay.

Hmm.

Oh crap, it's my dad.

I have to get there quickly, okay?

Hey.

What?

What? No.

I've explained it to you 100

times. My hands are tied.

Yes.

No. No, you listen to me now.

Maybe, but I didn't know

that it should continue like this.

I'll call again tomorrow.

It doesn't work now.

Hey.

Hey.

- What were you arguing about?

- Doesn't matter.

I am your partner.

- Why can't you tell me?

- It's about... things.

Things my father wants from me.

Just look...

I want to build something with you.

You are the only thing that matters to me.

Mmm.

It's beautiful.

- We should have shown that on the show.

- We wanted to too.

But Margot said you should have it.

You?

What are you doing here?

I should, um...

I should get something

for Mrs. Tannen.

But not here.

Ask upstairs in the offices.

What is he doing here?

Is my new carer.

- What?

- Mhm.

He moves into the guest house.

That's not possible.

Why not? He was recommended to me.

And what should he do for you?

Maybe shopping? Massage legs?

- Why not?

- That's ridiculous.

I'll show you something.

I found this on the terrace.

Is that blood?

- So it wasn't you.

- Mama.

- I'm waiting...

- You don't know...

Can you stop?

What does that mean?

Someone is threatening us.

That's why I want him to be here.

You can't be here.

This isn't a joke.

You're not laughing either.

Doesn't seem to be your thing anyway.

I'm just doing my job,

as applied.

Then turn down the job.

That doesn't work.

Whatever it was with us,

it never happened.

Understood?

Good.

Hey.

What's up?

It's just this guy.

Grandma thinks he's good.

I believe.

I like you.

I believe.

- What is?

- Hm?

Nothing.

Good night.

Sleep well.

Who hired my

grandmother's security?

Good morning.

And?

That was me. His

name is Ben. Ben Noack.

One of my best people.

Listen, I need some

more information.

After all, he lives with us.

okay.

His mother Maria Noack is

dead. He never met his father.

I trained him.

- He prevented a kidnapping.

- Sure.

So why is he playing

my grandmother's carer?

Because he's a

professional. He does what he is told.

- Found him.

- Thank you.

Was upstairs.

He has a bachelor's degree

in philosophy. Talk to him.

- And you see what he's capable of.

- okay.

Hey, stop. Stop. Hey.

Let him go. Come.

He's already asleep. Hey.

- Everything okay?

- Yes.

- okay.

- Good.

Was good.

Is everything else okay, my boy?

Yes.

I'm relying on you.

Zofia told me a lot about you.

She meant, you would

tell me the details.

over time, before

you worked for her.

You mean juvenile prison.

Hmm?

For what?

Homicide.

I'm installing

a new security system.

The entire area is

under video surveillance.

When I hear that...

...I'll be with you

straight away.

okay?

- Do you know that Ben was in prison?

- Yes.

For manslaughter.

I don't find that he

looks like an assassin.

So we trust him, because he has beautiful

eyes and can install an alarm system.

Yes.

- What is he doing here?

- Margot is tired of his sweatpants.

Nope.

I need this for an event.

Belongs to you anyway.

Uh. Nice that you're here.

It worked this time, right?

Professor, do you like

the exhibition? Yes?

Wow.

- I'm just promoting our brand.

- Clear.

- Dad.

- Well, sweetie?

- I'm proud of you.

- Thanks.

Thanks.

- I'll get us a beer, okay?

- Yes.

okay. Good. Understood.

I never really

understood my father's work.

But this,

this... I like this.

It's kind of

staged, but... still so real.

Is not provided. Your

father didn't invent the store.

I know the club.

Bouncer job.

I also got other

job offers there.

Chic dress.

Nice suit.

You can still smile.

Why don't you do it more often?

I work for your family.

There's nothing to laugh about.

My father... I was supposed

to take care of his guests.

The good stuff.

Do you know, how long

normal people work for this?

Hm? Hey. Hey.

I asked you something.

That's good.

Relax yourself.

Hey. Everything okay?

Yes.

What did the thug want here?

Admire the art.

Why didn't you

come when he held me?

Are you serious?

Otherwise you wouldn't

want to that you will be helped.

Besides, you have Ben now.

Good looking guy, right?

What's this

supposed to mean now?

You're just as naive as your

grandma, who brought the psycho here.

You think it's good too.

Bite me.

Let's think about

the wedding again.

Too late.

You can't get out

of there anymore.

You need me.

What do you mean?

My father didn't just

lend Margo money.

He bought the company.

You lie.

Nope.

When?

A year or so ago.

You didn't come up with

the idea to tell me that?

Elle, it's just a company.

No.

No, Thilo, it's not just a

company. That is my life.

Your life?

f*ck you.

- I sleep on the couch.

- I'm away until the end of the week.

You can have the bed.

Have to get out early anyway.

She has lived in Margo's

world since she was a child.

The house is not just a

part of her life, it is her life.

Is that true? Does

Margo belong to the Wittes?

Just pro forma, temporarily.

And you gave her to me, without

telling me anything about it? Why?

That was a condition of salvation.

That you take over the company

a little earlier than planned

and are kept out

of financial matters.

That's absurd.

I can't watch

how my life's work vanishes into thin air.

- I am a puppet for you.

- You're not.

Everything okay?

Yes, it's okay.

Secure?

I don't even know you.

You can see someone

at the game in an hour

Get to know each other better than

you would in a year's conversation.

Did you just make that one up?

Plato.

Ancient Greek pick-up line.

Ben!

Ben!

I'm sorry.

Hey, princess, what do you want

here? You have no business here.

Then we're even. Neither

did you at the opening.

f*ck off, Mick.

She belongs to me.

Do you know him?

Yes. But that doesn't

mean I like him.

Hey, Ben, it's your turn.

Stick with the cage.

And if there's a problem,

then you go to Zofia.

- okay?

- Yes.

Fight.

Go! Go, go, go, go!

put pressure on. okay?

Fight.

Go down!

MMA training helped

me cope indoors.

- Philosophy?

- Oh well...

Studying also helped

combat boredom.

Still, unusual combination.

It's perfect.

You can someone with a smart

Finish the spell or knock it out.

And which saying

do you like best?

"Always fight for something,

never against something. "

What are you fighting for?

Like I said, just a saying.

All these promises

Promises to atone

Where did it all go wrong?

Before we lose

Before we lose our minds

Is there somewhere

we can go?

Anywhere that we

can go to carry on?

This fracture

Could revive us

It is only just begun

When we go back inside

Back inside this cauldron

Looking for a kinder face

Looking for a

refined box of tricks

Everywhere

Everywhere looks the same

We don't need another clone

We don't need another

face Let's have a new

This fractured world

Is dying

Ooh, ooh, ooh

But we won't

Give up trying

It's all on us,

it's all on us now

Give yourself away,

give yourself away

With all the passion

you could spare

Give yourself away,

give yourself away

With all the love

Give yourself away,

give yourself away

With all the passion

you could spare

Give yourself away, give yourself away

With all your love,

it is all we have

This fractured world

Is dying

Ooh, ooh, ooh

But we won't

Give up trying

It's all on us,

it's all on us now

Yes?

Hello. Elle Tannen here.

I don't want to, that Ben

continues to work for us.

Sure, yes. I'll see

what can be done.

Hey. Elle just called. You're

f*cking her, aren't you?

I don't give a f*ck how, but

make sure that you can stay there.

Does your nervousness have

something to do with the bodyguard?

Do you want to talk

about something?

Have you ever been unfaithful?

Yes.

- And did you feel guilty?

- Yes. I had.

But you know...

They shouldn't stop

you to live your life.

I'm incredibly proud of you.

What you have achieved.

And I'm glad that you're

not like me, more like Margot.

I'm not that similar to grandma.

Look, I have a problem.

What about the salary?

what I always got

from the company?

What do you think? Chris

Kessler always organized it.

I'm afraid you won't have any

influence on Margo's finances.

Did you know about

the Witte thing?

I thought it was no big deal.

Elle.

Elle!

We are a family.

But we are also

a company, a business.

And there's

a lot at stake.

For the company

and for the family.

Everyone has their role to play.

- You know your role, my boy?

- Yes.

Good.

Good.

Hey.

What is that?

I'll call the police.

- Let's talk to Margot first.

- Thilo.

Someone broke in here

and is threatening me.

Hey.

I'm back here now.

I could position someone

outside the studio 24/7.

Why not already?

He should

focus on our home.

Let's go to the police.

No. Neither the family

nor the company needs this attention.

True.

I don't want, that you're still

going somewhere without Ben.

Yes, that's not

necessary. She has me.

I don't need anyone

who protects me, okay?

I want to be alone here.

If you are my shadow from now

on, at least keep your distance.

Happy birthday, mom.

What's with the cheesy angel?

Is the only thing what I

still have from my mother.

The charge of manslaughter.

My stepfather.

I didn't want to k*ll him.

I came through the door...

My mother was lying there.

In her own blood.

She didn't move anymore.

I went at him.

Didn't stop.

But he deserves it.

One day we may find us

Like lyrics find melody

You will turn into music

And I will finally

Sing these lines to you

What are we actually doing here?

sh*t.

I want to be one step

ahead of the times with Margo.

We know we will be wearing

organically produced clothing in 20 years.

We will make materials from bacteria,

fungi and algae to

develop biodegradable clothing,

making shoes and accessories.

Yes, I know, that's expensive,

but my company has a

duty to take responsibility

and drive development forward.

Of course, this

requires continuous

transparency, including with regard

to our finances.

But on a whole new level.

- Elle.

- Hm?

You have to discuss

this with me first.

Oh yes? I thought agreements no

longer had any meaning in this company.

It should be clear to you

that you are superfluous here.

You better worry, that you

won't soon be superfluous.

Clear.

Hey.

Shall we start again

from the beginning?

Just you and me.

Very far away, where

no one knows us.

Thilo, what's wrong?

You are the best, what

ever happened to me.

Think about the fight.

She's not for you.

You have no place in their

world. Don't kid yourself.

I don't do it.

...my company has a duty to take

responsibility and drive

development forward.

Of course, this

requires continuous

transparency, including with

regard to our finances.

What does Bruno

think about that?

This is exactly what

you should prevent.

- Ben.

- I should put pressure on Thilo.

What can I do about what

she's talking about, huh?

Dude, you're so useless.

And when it comes to women, you

could have learned from your stepfather.

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Get out.

I know you want a normal life.

And Elle is a great woman.

But you have to give them

up, You know that, right?

There's no easy way out, Ben.

f*ck off.

Finally leave me alone.

Uh!

f*ck.

Elle shouldn't be

dragged into this.

f*ck you. f*ck you.

- Hey.

- Hello, Elle.

Please give this to your

grandmother. But just you, okay?

Come in with me. She's

definitely happy to see you.

No, I... I'd rather not.

Take care.

What did he want here?

What happened?

- Is this one for me?

- No, for grandma.

- Come here.

- Elle.

Elle.

We still have something important

to discuss about the handover.

I would like to go to our house by the

sea with you tomorrow. Just the two of us.

It's only for a

day or two, right?

Yes.

Okay, Grandma,

what's wrong?

Why are we even here?

Abel is coming to breakfast

tomorrow. I need to talk to you both.

And about what?

I'm tired now, I... have to

sleep now. We'll talk tomorrow.

Show Ben the property.

Well then.

Do you want to be a bodyguard

forever? Does work make you happy?

What makes me

happy is to help other people.

So yes, ideally... I would

open a martial arts school.

I hope that works.

If I have to, I'll fight.

And you?

What makes you happy?

I'm not that good at it, To

make decisions for myself.

My life was clearly

predetermined.

What would you do

if it weren't for Margo?

Hard to imagine.

What am I to you?

The jury is still deliberating.

I love you.

- What did you do?

- Nothing.

I called the emergency doctor.

Good morning!

I brought bagels.

That's so terrible.

Where is Ben?

Isn't he here?

Please tell me what

was in the envelope.

Here. Pretend you're crying.

I discovered that we were

laundering money for the Zientek clan.

It has started when

Thilo joined Margo.

- Thilo?

- I couldn't believe it either.

When Thilo joined, there were

suddenly irregularities

in the accounting.

I couldn't believe

it. But it repeated itself.

That wasn't a coincidence.

What does he

have to do with the clan?

I'm relying on you.

The Zientek clan rescued

Witte International facing bankruptcy.

I didn't know it

would continue like this.

It's about things that

my father wants from me.

And when you came back from Paris, Thilo

suddenly stopped his

money laundering activities.

And that certainly rattles

the Zienteks' nerves a lot.

I can't believe... that

she just died like that.

I can't watch how my

life's work vanishes into thin air.

Please forgive

an old mule like me.

The buttons

meant a lot to us.

Like little messages.

I love you.

What are you doing?

I...

I don't know it.

Let's go to the

company tomorrow.

- This will be good for you.

- Mhm.

Thanks.

Hey.

Where the hell have you been?

Is everything okay?

I have to be alone tonight.

The alarm still works.

I have to tell you something.

You won't like it.

The Zientek clan infiltrated

me, to put pressure on Thilo.

And to keep an eye

on you and Margot.

What?

Why are you doing

something like that?

What power do

they have over you?

You don't choose your family.

Bruno Zientek is

my mother's cousin.

He was the only one who

was there for me in prison.

Even after that.

I'm sorry.

I want to fight.

Get me proof of your

connection to Witte and Margo.

I'll borrow it for

a moment, okay?

Jealous lover shoots a

couple just before their wedding.

Tragic.

But not surprising

given the previous convictions.

You let her go.

Why don't you sh**t me?

For what reason?

You go into the den.

At least you're

useful to me again.

Nobody will believe you.

Not even me anymore.

Elle.

You were there.

I was there to talk to her.

Did you k*ll grandma?

What?

- No.

- Because of money laundering. Right?

No.

I didn't even touch her.

Grandma would never have given

Margo to Witte, she would have known that.

She... she... She

became totally hysterical.

I tried to talk to

her rationally, but...

But she freaked out and...

Then she collapsed.

Why didn't you help her?

Because I panicked.

Did you let her die?

Elle.

I... I was just hoping

that everything will be fine.

This damn money laundering.

No one should ever know that.

That's what they told me too.

After you returned

from Paris, I...

I wanted to continue

living my life with you.

What...

What do we do now?

We don't do anything at all.

You disappear.

Far away.

Somewhere. I don't care where.

start over again,

just like you wanted.

But without me.

No.

Elle, please forgive...

It...

I'm sorry.

What are you doing here?

I didn't press the panic button.

I find you that way too.

Always.

I wanted to thank you.

I wouldn't have

survived prison again.

What do you want to do now?

First, dive in.

Until the process begins.

And then I'll look for a job.

And you?

What are you planning

to do with Margo?

"Always fight for,

never against, anything. "

Right now I don't

know what it's for.

Maybe Margo will

die with Grandma too.

Something new.

I don't think it's that bad, not

knowing what will happen next.

Well then...

Thanks.

For everything.

Maybe I want to see you again.

Sometime.

I will be honest

I will be honest

for you, yeah, yeah

Yeah, and if we are talking
