We think about what happened.

And breathe.

We think about what happened.

And breathe.

Center yourself.
Think from head to feet.

Head to feet.

We kneel down
and think about what annoys us.

And breathe.

We kneel down

and think about what annoys us.

And breathe.

- Exactly. Mr. Berg-Berth, we...
- Yes?

We kneel down.

Yes, we kneel down.

- Do you want to kneel down?
- Do you want to kneel down?

That wasn't a sentence for you to repeat.

It was a question.

A question, yes?

Okay, then.

Let's center ourselves again.

We'll walk around the courtyard together.

At a leisurely and calm pace.

And breathe.

- Yes, hello?
- Excuse me. My name's Spellart.

Dr. Spellart, dermatologist.

My dermatologist is called Trefzer.

Yes, I'm not your dermatologist.

Right.

It's about a different matter.

I'm not available right now.
We're not accepting new patients.

The facility is closed
for technical reasons.

That's exactly why I want to talk to you.

I can't provide any further information.

The technical reasons you mention...

Listen, I'm not available to provide
any information about the clinic.

Excuse me. Vera?

Could you take Salome?

My wife is exhausted after giving birth.
We had twins a couple of days ago.

- Listen, I'm not available.
- Wait.

I just need to know one thing.

This technical problem that resulted
in the facility being closed...

Is it possible

that it had something
to do with Helene Sternberg?

{\an8}7. PARCHEESI

{\an8}Therefore we expect a net profit
of between 1.5 to 1.7 million Euros

in the first year.

- So much for our business plan.
- Yes, exactly.

So much for that.

- Yes.
- Please let her have the last word.

Yes.

- So much for that.
- I mean, the numbers are a bit fanciful.

What about capitalization?

Yes.

So tell us, Helene, what exactly
are your thoughts on capitalization?

Helene's ideas about capitalization...

Where is she?

I mean, now that she's gone,

who of you will be able to, like,
explain how we manage the situation?

Me.

You? Sure.

So. What is our situation?

Jason, could you give me
the space to sort this out?

- Yes, of course, Maike.
- So, I...

- Sustainiblissimo.
- Jason.

What are raw materials?
We trade in them all over the world.

But which raw materials surround us?
Which ones do we not even notice?

Jason, will you please let me have my say?

Of course, Maike.

The thing with Helene is...

Sustainiblissimo calculates
your raw material index

and tells you how to take
the first steps towards self-recycling.

Self-recycling?

Surely you're wondering how a crazy idea
like Sustainiblissimo can pay off?

And...

My name is Jason Le Tu.

And here it comes.

Yes, come in.

Come in.

Right. Arrest her.

She's the antagonist of thought.
Thought ends with her.

Arrest this troublemaker.

The only place society
is safe from her is prison.

Foucault may be smirking right now,
but I'm sick of her.

- Who exactly?
- Her.

Your finger's pointing at nothing.

Yes, of course.

She must have hidden somewhere.

You know, she's...

She's so changeable.
She takes on many different forms.

She's

a bewilderer.

A distorter of facts.

A slanderer.

Dia, meaning "asunder," "in two."

And bállein, "to throw."

Put them together and you have...

diabállein,

to create discord, malign.

The diabolus.

- And you're in charge here?
- Yes.

- Could you show us your ID?
- Yes.

Mr. Berg-Berth, right?

Dr. Berg-Berth.

That's what it says
on my socks anyway. Just kidding.

Your ID.

I AM BERG-BERTH

I AM A BADGER FROM SOMALIA

I BREATHE THROUGH THE BACK OF MY HEAD

You can't find it?

No, no. It must be here somewhere.

Helene might have taken it.

Do you take drugs,

Mr. Berg-Berth?

That must belong to Helene.

- To Helene?
- Yes.

Your ID?

Yes, sure.

Here it is. There you go.

Look.

WHOEVER READS THIS HAS GONE MAD!

Six.

Helene, could you translate this for us?

Sure. Welcome to the top cooking show
with awesome celebs.

We sing while we cook and whoever
has a face that matches the beauty ideal

will get a record deal for cookbooks.

Really? It's the same garbage everywhere.

- Switch to a German channel.
- There was only one.

- What was on?
- Crime Stoppers.

No! That's so reactionary.

- We can watch another Buñuel film...
- No, not Buñuel.

You'll just fall asleep immediately.
And I don't want you to.

- We wanted to cuddle.
- Yeah.

Then we'll watch TV.

Any chips left?

Yes, and nuts.

Today on Crime Stoppers, a case
that has the entire nation on edge.

The police is looking
for young Helene Sternberg,

13 years old.

The girl was last seen
at a gas station in Alsace,

destroying a vending machine
for small goods.

Here is the corresponding footage
from an on-site surveillance camera.

Helene may have been abducted.

Since last week,
we have received numerous tips.

Why don't we watch that show, after all?

Chief of Police Udo Brantberg
on the line.

Mr. Brantberg, what's the latest?

First, we took a current photograph
of the missing Helene Sternberg

and showed how she might look
if she has changed her appearance.

Helene is considered to be spirited.

- I'll call.
- Yes, do.

Some who know her describe her
as having behavioral problems.

Her mother informed the police

that Helene
was undergoing psychiatric treatment.

The psychiatrist also made
a statement to the police.

I will quote Dr. Berg-Berth here.

We're looking for Helene.
Have you seen her?

Dr. Berg-Berth, if I might handle this?

Is there a patient here called Helene?

Helene...

Helene Cordet? The actress?

Let me Google that.

- No, she's been dead for ages.
- She can't be a patient then.

No, if you're dead,
you can't be a patient.

So there's no Helene Sternberg here?

No. Where are we going with this?

Mr. Lederer, what's gotten into you?

Nothing's gotten into me
for a very long time.

I don't understand what you're saying.

Helene has been with us for weeks.

We don't know anything about that, do we?

No, we are just two attractive people
with recurrent depressive disorder.

That means it comes and it goes.

And when it goes you worry
it's going to come back.

When it comes back again,
you worry that when it goes,

it'll come back again.

I know where she is.

I know.

Come with me.

What does it mean to recycle yourself?

It means being aware
of your own fossil footprint,

realizing what you consume
and how much of what you consume

can be used a second,
third, or fourth time.

What Jason wants to say...

What I want to say is what I just said.

But you said something different to us.

- Yes?
- Yes.

You said that
we should take notice of you for once,

you and your Sustainiblissimo idea

you've been
tinkering away at for three years.

- "Tinkering"?
- Yes. Tinkering.

Sorry if I seem somewhat confused,

but, yes, as the owner of the company,
I am presenting an idea,

for which I want
to attract venture capital.

But I don't support your idea.

What?

I don't support your idea.

You realize what a communicative attack
you've just made here in my company?

It's my company too.

I put up the money.

Yes, because your grandpa founded Dunlop.

You are the heir to a tire company, Jason.

I'm an entrepreneur.

Yes, you're an entrepreneur.

You're a genius.

The type of man who tries to push through

the old belief of the genius

by donning feminist garb
and doing sports only women used to do,

but at the end of the day,
you just want to be an entrepreneur!

That's why you never accepted
the idea of Helene working here.

Helene is the end of patriarchy.

She questions power structures!

She doesn't accept something
simply because it's the way things are.

So "the way things are" is patriarchy.

Everything that counts
is patriarchy, right?

Do you know what counts, Maike?

Do you know what counts?

That's what counts, Maike.


Yes, that's true in terms of capitalism.

You forgot a zero.

And so I don't give a sh*t about
the sovereignty of your Insta discourse,

because the company is closing down
tomorrow and the marshal is coming.

And he'll take your e-bike,
your sustainable fashion,

and your mouse pad
with the picture of Malala on it.

Did you just laugh?

Did you just f*cking laugh?

"Lorazepam is in a class
of medications called benzodiazepines.

It has sedative, hypnotic
and anticonvulsant effects."

Tavor.

"Tavor has a primarily sedative
and anticonvulsant effect

by attaching
to special binding sites in the brain."

Binding sites...

"Symptomatic short-term treatment

of anxiety-related sleep disorders."

"Fluvoxamine is fully absorbed
from the gastrointestinal tract.

The bioavailability is 53%
due to the pronounced first-pass effect.

Peak plasma concentrations are reached
within three to eight hours,

steady-state plasma concentration
within ten to 14 days."

"Steady state."

Cool.

Professor Berg-Berth said,

"The child suffers
from a severe personality disorder.

One can argue that the separation
of her parents caused trauma.

However, since the child
had already attracted attention

long before the parents' separation,

for example, by freeing animals,
such as small birds from a local zoo,

skipping school,

or being admitted to a retirement home
under the name Long John Silver,

a so-called dissociative disorder,

a disconnection from
the world around her,

and a high subversive potential
should be noted.

What does this mean
for the investigation?

We assume that the girl
may pose a threat.

So, ladies and gentlemen,
we are very concerned...

Well...

How should we...?

We could play another game of Parcheesi.

- Yes!
- I'm in.

- I'll be blue.
- I'll be red.

- I'll be white.
- I'll be green.

- I'll be yellow. I'll go pee first.
- Yes.

One, two, three...

CLINIC PERSONNEL ONLY

- Doesn't want to open?
- She changed it.

- Your Helene?
- What do you mean, mine?

- Nobody else has seen her.
- She's in there.

- Did you laugh?
- No. You, Lore?

- No, I didn't either.
- You did.

One of you laughed.

I won't be gaslighted by you.
One of you laughed.

I want to know which one of you laughed.

Listen, there's this great YouTube video.

I watch it whenever I've had
a stressful shift.

Let go of all your thoughts.

Let them go.

Maybe imagine some small clouds

moving softly across the sky...

Leave my clinic.

Enjoy the rest of your day.

Helene.

I had dreams,

plans,

and enthusiasm.

You, Helene, you've ruined it all for me.

You've made a mockery of it.

You're my Waterloo.

My nemesis.

In your eyes, I am at most a tree.

A burning tree. A colony of toads.

But I want to say one thing to you,
Helene, one thing.

I can take a shower.

I can shower myself.

On my own!

Let go of all your thoughts.

Let them go.

Maybe imagine some small clouds

moving softly across the sky.

And with every cloud,
you can let go of your thoughts.

Let them float away
on clouds in the sky.

Should your concentration wander,

do not get annoyed.

Just let your thoughts
float with the clouds

and come back to my words.

Now direct your attention to your feet

and let a warm light
arise there in your thoughts.

Let the light pulsate gently
with your breath.

In your knees too.

Everything is fine.

Everything is fine.

In your knees too.

- Where were you?
- In the safe.

Janno let me in and out.

They're all standing by you?

- Yes.
- I see.

And me? I'm standing by you.

When you meditate like this, there's
something really sweet about you.

I like you so much

that I won't tell anyone

that two-thirds of the pills
in the safe are made of sugar.

Only a third of them has a sedative,
hypnotic, or anticonvulsant effect.

Only one third attaches
to specific binding sites in the brain

and is absorbed
by the gastrointestinal tract.

Two-thirds of the pills
are somewhere else entirely.

Maybe on the dark web?

I... I...

- No, forget it.
- What?

Forget about "I."

You're opinion no longer interests us.

As of today,
this is a self-managed commune.

And you are our straw man.

You can even continue
to run your business,

but we'll organize the therapy ourselves.

Tomorrow at nine,
we'll meet for morning rounds.

Helene, the health insurance companies
paid out less and less.

I wanted to provide
a comprehensive therapeutic service

that would really help
people here, do you see?

- And then I had that water damage in...
- Great.

You can talk about that in your
individual therapy. Twice a week.

Okay, then...

Yes, yes.

Four.

One, two, three, four. Got you, Helene.

I'm considering a career as a drug addict.

I've done that a few times.

Don't you want to ask why?

I think I know why.

Can I spend the night at yours?

Give that to me.

Don't drink it all.

So, what's up, Maddel-Spaddel?

Well, Helene, we've got a problem.

Is your mom broke?

No, your funding is secured.

No, it's about something else.

Yes?

There's someone in my life,
and I'm afraid you'll be angry with me.

I haven't slept a wink because of it.

What? Why?

Really?

Who?

It's not what you're thinking, Helene.

It'll never come close
to what the two of us have.

No, of course not.

- It's purely physical.
- That figures.

Madlen, I think it's really great
that you're back together with Chris.

Really, Helene? I was so hesitant.

My God, I've really been
avoiding meeting you.

Why?

Well, being in a partnership

means I can't be available for you

at any time of the day or night.

There are things to do.

Vacations, spending time together,
working on the relationship.

What about you?
Who are you in love with at the moment?

I don't have any time for that.

Garbage. You said
that we're always in love with someone.

It's like our fifth organ.

What are those letters?

I'm not in love with him.
He's a patient of mine.

No.

- "Dear Yanno..."
- Janno.

"You'll be disappointed in me
that it is the way it is.

But if you want to know
why it is the way it is,

you have to understand
the great collision theory.

Careful.

It's a bit unstable.

But it's nice.

The different rings actually
have quite different structures.

Some look like straw,
some are full of boulders.

And in between, there are structures
that are shaped like a propeller.

Like this.

How did they form?

Well, every ring was formed differently.

- Most due to impacts.
- Impacts?

- Collisions.
- Cool.

It's the case in all system formations.

Violent convulsions lead
to new networks being formed.

We only know
about a very small part of it.

How can I help you?

I'd like to know
when the next space mission is starting.

So you've come to the German Institute
for Astronautics?

We've been underfunded for years.

We survive on Yum Yum noodles,

so we can afford
just a fraction of the hardware we need.

The enthusiasm for space exploration

has fallen into the hands
of the military and internet nerds.

What kind?

What kind of Yum Yum noodles do you eat?

- I only eat the shrimp flavor.
- Right. What's that?

The thing next to the black hole.

This is the event horizon,
the boundary surface in space-time.

Events beyond the event horizon
are not visible to observers

on this side of the boundary.

Why are you asking about space travel?

I want to bury someone.

"It is what it is,
because it moves to what it is not.

When nothing else moves, I start to move.

And when everything has seeped out,
it can flow again."

What does that mean?

It means he's giving up.

What do you mean?

No longer being a part of the world.

That's impossible.

You're always part of the world,
even if you don't want to be.

Maybe.

Or maybe what?

Maybe you can just disappear.

If you want to.

Helene?

Can I fart?
I've needed to fart this whole time.

Only if you say "Hare Krishna."

Hare Krishna.
