[window motor whirring]

Hello.

Can you step out of the car?

[tense music playing]

Is there a problem?

Don't know yet.

[seat belt lock clicks]

I'd like to take a look in your bag.

How come?

[seat belt lock clicks]

Do I know you?

I don't think so.

Don't know a lot of older men.

[car horn honks]

Can we go now?

[car horn honks]

[tense music grows to crescendo]

[theme music playing]

[music fades]

Well sh*t.

[sighs] The man we told you about,

do you know him?

The book I told you about, where is it?

[both exhale]

Look, he recognized me tonight.

He's the man who took us.

My mother nearly recognized you.

You betrayed your professor

and got your name everywhere.

That's on you.

[Jasper scoffs]

And I'd like to have my dress returned.

Thanks.

What?

What are we gonna do now?

Clearly, I can't rely on you.

So I'll just come up with something else,

I guess.

[door opens, slams shut]

She should learn some self-control.

- [Jasper scoffs]

- [knock at door]

At least she has a heart.

[brooding music playing]

[brooding music crescendos]

Finally.

This is the man.

Andi? What about him?

Don't play dumb with me. I'm not an idiot!

This is who kidnapped me,

and you were in on it!

This is all total nonsense.

This is Andreas Winter. He's a journalist.

No. That's the guy. No doubt about it.

[Mia] Where did they take me?

I told you I don't know where.

Yeah, and I don't believe that.

Okay, then don't.

I have to find this lab.

I need to know what happened,

what they did.

Good luck.

- It's a bit late for guests.

- They were just going.

- [Jasper scoffs] Goodnight.

- [Ursula] Goodnight.

You have to help me.

Help you?

No, I don't.

[door opens, closes]

[owl hoots]

I'll send my contact's info for the boat.

- That's very kind.

- Well, since we're island neighbors.

[laughing]

- Have I introduced Dr. Winter to you?

- Nice to meet you.

- He's an excellent scientific journalist.

- I'm still a scientist at heart.

Yeah, that's true.

Everything he says

is a bit too complicated for me.

[laughter]

- Well, drive safely. Glad you could come.

- We will. Have a good night.

- Yes. Thanks, you too.

- Goodnight.

Why was Mia here?

Because I asked her to come.

Why would you do that?

[chuckles]

Keeping a good eye on my investments.

[tuts] Is that a problem for you?

No.

Good.

I don't really wanna go home

to Lotta and all that stuff.

And plus, it could be dangerous, right?

Since Winter must know where you live.

Yeah, for sure.

Well, you can sleep at my place

Yeah, I think that's a good idea.

To be extra safe.

Yeah.

Safety first.

["Dream for Dreaming"

by Patrick Watson playing]

Why me?

I ask myself that.

This dream ♪

Well, I don't mean you. I ask why me?

Everyone's the center

of their own universe, huh?

'Cause this life I'm living ♪

I used to be so scared

that my Huntington's would break out,

that my personality would change,

or that my brain would deteriorate.

Now all this sh*t that's happening to you

feels worse somehow.

Well, for you, of course, but also for me.

I'm just scared that

that I'll forget who I am soon,

what I'm made of, what drives me.

The only thing I have are my memories.

And the worst part is

I don't even know who I can trust now.

Lotta, Niklas,

Lorenz, my therapist, and

myself even.

You can trust me.

Even if every three weeks

I have to come back

because you forgot again.

Just never lie to me again, okay?

Okay.

[emotional music playing]

[Jasper groans]

I may have lied one other time.

When I mentioned

that there was another girl.

When I said I wasn't faithful

there was nobody.

I don't know.

I just thought when you said that we

[Mia] My name is Emma Mia Engels.

Okay. Okay.

My name is Emma Mia Engels.

My brother is Ben Engels.

My name is Emma Mia Engels.

My brother is Ben Engels.

- [Jasper] Hey, what's going on?

- [Mia panting]

I'm forgetting my brother.

- [keypad beeping]

- My brother is Ben Engels.

[breathing heavily] Who are you calling?

The doctor.

You need to be looked at again.

Hey.

Hello, I need to see a doctor.

Um, just put me through

to the neurology department.

Yes, thanks.

Yes, hello.

I'm calling about Mia Akerlund.

We were there

at the beginning of the week,

and we have to come by again.

Exactly, Dr. Ottes, yes.

Okay, great.

Yeah, we'll be there.

Okay.

Yes, thanks. Bye.

Got them to see you today.

Can we go to my place

so I can get clean clothes?

- Hey.

- [sobs]

Hey, hey, hey.

[crying]

It's eye-opening to see how you live.

Would you like to join us for some lunch?

I'm not feeling well. I'm sorry.

[brooding music playing]

[Lotta] Mia.

Mia about Niklas. Look, I'm sorry.

I I told Oli and Chen-Lu

to keep it to themselves

while I waited

for the best moment to tell you,

but you already knew,

and you were fine with it, Mia.

We're happy together.

Some things just don't work out, I guess.

We have to go.

Problems, dear?

INFORMATION ON SONICATION

- [MRI clanks]

- [shrill sound]

[breathing heavily]

Yes, it's Ottes. I requested

the files for Mia Akerlund earlier,

but someone has made a mistake here.

These files can't be correct.

Akerlund.

Um, with a K or CK?

K.

With a K.

Yeah.

Uh, tenth of July.

Oh really?

Are you sure that's right?

Yeah, let me call you back later, okay?

Thanks.

[Ottes clears throat]

Did you find anything?

Light areas that show up

in the parieto-occipital cortex like this

means some change.

What kind of change is it?

Atrophy.

Brain deterioration.

The images suggest

a variant of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease,

but I've never seen it

spread with such speed.

That's Mad Cow.

But that's impossible though.

The development's totally atypical,

to say it simply.

Your prognosis?

We had better do an EEG and a CSF scan,

but if it keeps spreading at this rate,

I'd estimate that you'll only have control

of your motor and cognitive functions

for another one or two weeks, Mia.

And a life expectancy

of around one or two months at this point.

I'm very sorry.

SON

[ominous music stops]

But we don't know

it's Creutzfeldt-Jakob, right?

Uh, unfortunately,

that's not the point, Ms. Akerlund.

That means

that we also don't know if it can be

if it could be reversed

if you find the key.

Well, I assure you that here

you will get the best medical care

with us at this hospital.

I have to go.

Hold on, Mia! But you need help.

Exactly.

And?

Good? Bad?

Bad, but also good. Both.

I remembered something important.

There seems to be a way to cure me.

I wrote it down.

What? So what is it?

That, I still don't know,

but I'd like to find out soon.

I remember

where Winter put the book you want.

Golden letters and Roman numerals

on the spine, right? I can get it for you.

What do you need from me?

What?

Just chill out.

Okay, what do we know for sure?

Mia was abducted,

and Lotta's father organized it.

They did something to her brain,

which led to a kind of artificial

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.

Bovine spongiform encephalopathy?

- Yeah.

- Well, something like it.

But the thing is, it's reversible.

I remembered seeing something in the lab

that can reverse it,

and it starts with S-O-N.

[Ole] Yeah, but I mean

Lotta's dad, that's just

What?

So their song, song lyric, songwriter.

Okay. This is going to hell.

There's a computer in the lab

with records of what they did to my head

and a red notebook

that Lorenz wants me to get for her.

So we have to find out where that lab is.

The guy who kidnapped me

is also Lorenz's ex.

[chuckles] Well, then

where's the problem?

[pensive music playing]

[approaching vehicle]

Tanja, I'm really glad you called me,

and we can reconnect.

You'll be even happier

with the news I have as well.

[car door opens]

[car door closes]

No. It's taken. It's taken.

It's taken. It's taken.

That's right. Bye-bye. Have a good night.

[inhales sharply] Right, okay.

And send.

[sighs] Okay.

Okay.

So, okay

[computer chimes]

We don't see each other for years,

and now it feels regular.

[chuckles]

How long ago was it?

Since you were at my office?

Three months.

Almost feels like

we saw each other once more since then.

[chuckles]

Well, I've been in the news a lot.

So much happened.

To me, at least.

And you?

Mostly editorial work.

You journalists.

You don't create things. You blow them up.

Not all journalists are alike, Tanja.

Let's drink to that.

[Ole] Okay.

[tense music playing]

Key, okay.

Here we go.

- All right.

- [error tone]

f*ck!

[clears throat] So, tell me why I'm here.

In the hope

that you're right

and not all journalists are the same.

You also know what science is like.

A bit, yeah.

How you always need

someone with cash backing you.

A school or a company.

Could be one person.

We are visionaries.

However, those of us who want to make it

must make a pact with them.

With a sponsor, I mean.

Someone with the cash.

What exactly are you getting at?

[inhales sharply]

What if I told you

where the funds

for all of my research are from?

Not the university stuff.

For the real research.

For h*m* Deus.

I would say that sounds very interesting.

[typing]

[error tone]

The f*ck!

[exhales sharply]

Fürstenberg

is financing ill*gal experiments.

Talk about a crazy good story, huh?

[tuts]

And are you the only person

that he illegally sponsored,

or does he pay for other scientists' work?

You tell me.

You're the journalist. Find out.

Why are you telling me all this?

Andi, think about it.

If the truth about Fürstenberg came out,

my sentence would be a whole lot better.

I mean, he was behind it all.

I see.

But what if other scientists

are part of this?

This story could

potentially ruin their careers.

That won't be necessary.

[Ole] Mm-hmm. Ah, mm-hmm.

- [radio playing loud music]

- Oh f*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck!

No, f*ck!

No, no, no!

Everything's fine.

It's my dad's car. A rental car.

[laughs] Enjoy your night, guys.

Ah!

Okay.

[Winter] Just so I understand,

you want me to research and write a story,

but I'm not gonna publish it, right?

For now.

Just knowing one exists,

that should be enough.

[loud music continues]

[music stops]

[exhales sharply]

Okay.

That's enough for him to help me.

He can do that. He just has to want it.

And then we can all go back to our lives.

Me and his other scientists

if there is anybody.

[Ole] "System info. Color settings"?

"USB and mute settings."

"Key card settings."

Can you prove

any of the things you're saying?

Naturally.

[inhales sharply]

Would you excuse me for a second?

[brooding music playing]

Oh yeah.

- "Navigation history."

- [beep]

[clears throat]

Okay.

All right.

LORENZ KNOWS

[approaching footsteps]

- Come on! Come on!

- [tapping computer]

[brooding music playing]

I had a good time.

Okay.

We should do it again.

Yeah.

[Lorenz chuckles]

[Mia] His home, the office, supermarket.

A fitness studio.

[sighs] Look how many times

he goes to the Fürstenbergs'.

[Jasper] But where would the lab be?

Oh, dude! These kinds of nice cars

always, always do well with my followers.

[laughs]

[clears throat]

And the RollJam device,

straight out of

the Fast and the Furious movies.

- [Ole laughs]

- Mm-hmm.

[phone buzzing]

Yeah?

- Did it go according to plan?

- [Mia] Yeah.

Good. You better get it all done tonight.

Fürstenberg may already know by tomorrow.

- What? How come?

- I had no choice.

And where's my thank you, huh?

[scoffs]

That's what I've said for decades.

- [sarcastically] Thank you.

- [Ursula] You're welcome.

[exhales sharply]

There's two separate dropped pins.

Here's a house. And you can barely see it,

but something else back here.

- Wait, that's right.

- What?

It's a really old brickyard.

What if the lab's in there?

Theoretically, this could be a correlation

without any real causality too.

I mean, why would anybody

who's as rich as Fürstenberg

use a brickyard as a lab though?

Because he's an old-school conspiracy guy.

So it's all under his control.

Let's go find out.

- [Chen-Lu] Get me a pillow!

[Mia groans]

Should we take her to a hospital?

No.
