Stacking up cash

Leave your trouble all behind

Star of my life

You can see how I shine

Never paid in time

I didn't even do the crime

You and me, live it up

Live it my way

Stack money, get cash

In the best way

Stack it up, stack it up

Get your money right

Getting paid every day

It's the money life

You might want to listen.

You're welcome. [chuckles]

[Mohammed] Is it possible that

this isn't about the break-in?

- Papa?

- [Kramer] You tell me.

- What do you think this is about?

- Papa, don't tell him anything!

When did you last talk to your son?

Which son do you mean?

[sighs]

Pictures say more than words.

And they don't lie.

Everywhere I go

I got money on my mind

Stacking up cash

Leave your trouble all behind

Star of my life

You can see how I shine

Never paid in time

I didn't even do the crime

You and me, live it up

Live it my way

[Kramer] Six robberies.

Over a million.

Stack money, get cash

In the best way

Stack it up, stack it up

Mr. Arslan, I have a son too.

I'm not sure how to tell you this.

Getting paid every day

It's the money life

Live it up, live it up

Better do it right

I don't know this person.

That's not my son.

No, that is Yusuf.

Take a closer look.

This is a misunderstanding.

- We done here?

- No, you can't leave yet.

There's the matter of complicity.

Who pays for your restaurant?

I may not be as bright

as you police officers,

but I have to wonder,

why break into a construction site

and not make out

with any electric tools?

Who has no taste whatsoever

and only takes one bite

out of the best simit in town?

Let me be crystal clear.

I'll get you both.

Your coffee is sh*t.

Everywhere I go

Got money on my mind

Stacking up cash

Leave your trouble all behind

Star of my life

You can see how I shine

- Yeah?

- Papa? It's me.

[whispering]

Yusuf? Are you in prison?

Don't believe anything that man says.

Don't say anything.

Mr. Arslan? Wait a minute.

You think I'm stupid? I'm not

telling anything to the police.

- You're in the photos.

- Papa

I'm sorry.

Where are you?

Moabit. In custody.

How many times did I say

I didn't want your money?

Does Mama know?

Who are you talking to?

I don't need to answer that.

Phone calls are forbidden.

[door closes, then locks]

[sighs]

MAIN ENTRANCE

BERLIN POLICE DEPARTMEN

[engine starting]

[cell phone ringing]

[pensive music playing]

Hey.

Um, can we meet up?

I know about Yusuf.

We have to get him out of there.

[sighs]

[suspenseful music playing]

[dramatic music playing]

He lives up there.

We need a weapon.

- Take one of those.

- Okay.

- This way, right?

- Mm-hm.

He's really dangerous.

I bet he's the one

who ratted him out.

Here. Atalay.

[doorbell buzzing]

[doorbell buzzing]

I hear something.

[yelling] Open up!

Yeah?

- [in normal voice] Who are you?

- Kramer. Cem's cousin.

Where's Cem?

Not here.

Where is he?

- What are you doing?

- Where are you, Cem?

Where is Yusuf's money? Where is he?

[Kramer]

His sister will show up here.

- Hmm.

- His whole family's in on it.

The father is stubborn,

just like his son.

I wonder if the others are too.

It's quite a jump from valedictorian

to prison for Yusuf Arslan.

- And in such a short time.

- I've seen stranger things.

Wait until you're my age.

Well, there's got to be more to it.

Ah.

I think if we understood

the underlying motive,

and ask the question why, then

Today, it's a bank.

That's how I see it.

Bingo.

She's meeting one of his guys.

I said I'd text you

when I had the time.

Sorry, love.

[scoffs] You didn't do anything.

Don't apologize.

Well, I would like to explain.

Mm.

He doesn't look

like a criminal to me.

She kind of reminds me of my sister.

She's chief physician at the Charité.

Congratulations.

Can we focus for a second?

I've wondered if I'm to blame,

for how you've been acting?

- [sighs] I'm gonna be late for class.

- I feel emotionally rejected,

which is one thing. That's okay,

it's on me. So, it's not your fault.

- Although, if you're scared

- Why would I be scared?

Well, socioculturally,

there's so much that divides us.

Like inter-generational trauma.

How much do you know

about your grandparents' history?

It's really interesting,

how both you and I grew up,

all the baggage since the '60s,

how West Germany

dealt with immigrants.

- Oh, she's looking.

- So?

- Act inconspicuous. Be cool.

- Inconspicuous.

Rhubarb, rhubarb

So that's why I've

I want you to see that I'm serious.

[Selda] "Successfully Shaping

Intercultural Relationships.

Concepts, Theories,

Fields of Application."

For me?

No, for me. Because you mean so much.

It'll help us get closer.

I think it'll be good for us if we go

to Greifswald together. Don't you?

Who is that?

Read through the first chapters

and text me. Hmm?

Cool. And what about Greifswald?

I need to talk to my classmate.

- [Kramer clears throat]

- [engine starts]

Okay, do we split up or what?

No, he tried to give her something.

Let's grab it.

[intriguing music playing]

Steven and Malte figured out

who might have Yusuf's money

and betrayed him.

- Do you know Cem?

- Cem?

Yeah.

[tires screeching]

Didn't expect to see us, huh?

What? No, it depends.

Who are you guys?

Criminal Investigators. Hello.

Wanna go see your buddy Yusuf?

Come with us.

- Who's Yusuf?

- Did you hear that?

We want to question you

about a criminal case.

- Want to do it here or come with us?

- Wait a minute.

What criminal case?

Show us your ID?

Yeah.

Hold on, you can't do that.

- Securing evidence. Give me your bag!

- You can't do that.

Ah. Here it is.

[Katrin] Yeah.

Did you find Cem?

Or any idea how to find him?

Not easy.

- How come?

- Prison.

Why would you guys

get involved with him?

Had no choice, needed his help.

04 MONTHS

BEFORE THE ARRES

[suspenseful music playing]

[breathing heavily]

[alarm blaring]

[Malte] Go!

[Yusuf] Malte! I can't see anything!

- There's too much smoke!

- [tires screeching]

I got, I got money

I got money

Don't be gentle, it's a rental.

Can you just shut the f*ck up?

Aren't we confident

all of a sudden?

Maybe we should all calm down.

Here. The Evening Express.

f*ck.

[Steven] The bank and the police

had us on their radar.

LATE EDITION BERLIN PRESS

IDIOTS ON THE RUN!

Of course we made the papers.

They weren't going to tolerate it.

[tense music playing]

After the failed robbery

with the exploding dye pack,

we knew we couldn't keep

going like that.

Never thought about quitting.

Wasn't an option.

It's like we were intoxicated.

It was more like, "We have a problem.

What's the solution?"

[Malte] Anyone have a can opener?

- [Steven] What's in there?

- I'm sure nothing good.

I have no idea.

I found it.

- It hasn't expired just yet.

- Let me try.

[Steven] And like always, while the

three of us were racking our brains,

Yusuf already had a plan.

[dramatic music playing]

Every class had a genius like Yusuf.

And there was always someone

like Cem.

Heart of gold, but he could crack

any bike lock since the second grade.

- [man 1] We're dividing up the roles.

- Cool, okay. Let's get it.

- [man 1] Cem, outside. Yusuf, center.

- Let's go!

[Steven] We needed a can opener.

Cem was the can opener.

There are all different kinds.

Some just need a lock pick,

- others a crowbar or expl*sives.

- [Malte] expl*sives? Are you crazy?

[Cem] Fine, then scope it out first.

Are there any cameras?

[Steven]

No, not in the safety deposit rooms.

[door lock buzzing]

[scanner beeps, then door unlocks]

These are the deposit boxes.

The cool thing

about safety deposit boxes

is that it's like getting a surprise.

You never know what's inside.

The lock is on the left.

And on the other side by the hinges

is the weak point.

[camera shutter clicking]

That's where you crack them open.

[camera shutter clicks]

[dramatic music playing]

- Can I help you, dear?

- No.

I was looking for financing papers

for Dr. Rainer but I just found them.

Good.

[Selda] Okay, but I don't understand.

If you and Cem

were such a great team

then why would Cem betray him?

Because we told him no violence.

Yeah.

[ominous music playing]

- He's totally stoned.

- He's always stoned.

[Melanie] We had to do it

during opening hours.

The only question was:

how to cause a distraction.

Yusuf said

that if my colleague was helpful,

to take advantage of that.

Oh!

Uh, oh! Oh, my goodness.

How did that happen? Ai-yai-yai.

- [intriguing music playing]

- Oh, no.

And just like that, the boys were in.

- What's all this?

- [Melanie] Yeah, I know. It's a mess.

[Rebecca]

How did you manage to do this?

I don't know. It just happened.

Hallelujah.

Ms. Werner, you're always so helpful.

Thank you so much. Really.

[Malte laughs]

[Malte] Yeah! Dude!

I could marry you!

[Cem] Make out later.

I'll show you what to do.

Livin' the life right now

Come take a ride

In my lifestyle

- If you can go--

- Who gives a sh*t?

[laughing]

Gosh, I honestly was just

about to refill them too.

- I really am so sorry about this.

- There's so much.

[Melanie laughs]

Oh, my goodness.

[Cem] Come on, go, go, go!

We need to speed it up.

[Malte] One more, man.

[Cem] Here. Faster, hurry.

[grunting]

[giggling]

- This is useless.

- Yep.

Where are you going?

Vacuum cleaner.

This stays between us.

Otherwise, we'll be here

until midnight. Like Cinderella.

No one's counting them.

sh*t.

[thudding in distance]

[thudding continues]

[screaming]

[suspenseful music playing]

[Rebecca] You won't

get away with it! Stay here!

Ms. Hübner! We're being robbed!

[Rebecca screaming]

Ms. Hübner, help! Stop him!

[screaming]

[Cem] Hey!

Is this your own money, or what?

[screaming]

[in Turkish] What the hell was that?

[in English] f*ck. Run dude, run!

Let's go!

- [alarm ringing]

- Run!

Go, go, go! Pedal to the metal!

Drive, Steven, drive!

[tires screeching]

Yes, I did say it'll be important.

Right, yeah.

Mm-hm.

All right. Fine, thank you.

That's great, I really appreciate it.

Thank you.

Yes. Have a nice day.

Bye.

So, she's in the hospital

and that's all they know.

Okay, hospital is good.

It means she's alive.

The same sh*t keeps happening.

Yeah, because you were stoned.

What kind of movie are you living in?

You're out of luck.

Violence requires punishment.

[snickers] Tell Mom I'm sorry.

What? You're sorry?

Even if we're caught,

then "sorry" won't help us out.

- [bangs table]

- [tense music playing]

Are you trying to f*ck me over?

Where were you? Where were you?

What would've happened

if I hadn't done that?

She wouldn't be in the hospital!

- [Cem] You have no idea!

- What were you thinking?

- [Cem] What are you talking about?

- That's enough!

[Melanie] Yusuf.

He's out.

We said no violence.

Yeah, if they ever catch us,

this changes everything in court.

- What if she died? We'd be screwed.

- Steven. She's in the hospital.

Would you calm down, please?

You're still giving him a cut?

- I thought we hit the jackpot, but

- Hey, this is better, just calm down.

- It's better to give him his share.

- What does he get for that stunt?

He's out. Okay?

[Melanie] Yusuf seemed really mad,

but maybe he was just scared.

How come Cem only betrayed Yusuf?

He only knew Yusuf's name,

he didn't know ours.

Yeah, but he knows

you guys all work at a bank.

He saw you there, didn't he?

Yeah, maybe he's waiting for us

to make contact

so he can make more money off of us.

- His priors will keep him in jail.

- He probably has a plea deal.

- No doubt.

- Yep.

Makes sense.

[cell door closes]

- [alarm buzzes]

- [indistinct chatter]

[intriguing music playing]

What's with that face?

- I swear I was sober.

- I know.

[man] Hey, Cem, what's good?

Why are you in here?

Bro, why are you in here?

Casino.

I got a tear in my gloves.

They've got my DNA and fingerprints.

I'm f*cked.

My lawyer says five years.

A tear in your glove.

Someone turned me in.

I'm not blaming you, all right?

I'm totally screwed.

What do I do now?

I always mess things up like this.

What if she doesn't recover?

- I don't know.

- That makes me a m*rder*r.

You're not a m*rder*r.

Hope for the best, okay?

Hey.

It doesn't matter what they think.

It's better for you if you're

not involved in this anymore, okay?

Use it to do something good.

[intriguing music playing]

If they catch you, I'll do your time.

I don't care what you say.

[Cem] Just say the word,

and I'll talk to my lawyer.

Let me take the blame.

I'll keep my promise.

If you talk on the stand,

that's proof you're involved.

It's better to say nothing.

I need a favor.

Your phone.

[in Turkish] Okay.

[Dariusz] Boss?

- Coffee break?

- [door opens]

- [Hanna] Hello.

- [door closes]

[sobbing] I feel so terrible.

We both failed our son.

You did nothing wrong, Hanna.

He's a good kid.

He just wanted to help.

Make a plan, he said.

Did he give you all the money

for all of this?

You should have known.

[somber music playing]

What should I have known?

That our son was robbing banks?

That he doesn't tell the truth?

More importantly,

how do we get him out?

He didn't do it alone,

Yusuf was betrayed.

Momo, you have to help him.

He's just like you.

He'd rather go to prison

than betray any of his friends.

He learned that from you.

You have to sell the restaurant.

The money you'd get for it,

Yusuf's money

he might get a lighter sentence

if you give it to his lawyer.

I'm sorry.

[intriguing music playing]

- [Dariusz] Boss!

- What the hell?

- Why are you doing that?

- What's gotten into you?

Where's that cash from?

[wheels squeaking]

[door unlocks]

Your lawyer's waiting.

Come on!

[claps aggressively]

I'm pretty annoyed, Mr. Arslan.

- Looks that way.

- Clever remarks aren't appreciated.

I was having a very good day

up until two hours ago.

I looked over

the district attorney's documents.

They've got nothing on you.

Besides the first robbery, where

you can be ID'd just okay on video

as you're leaving the scene,

there's not much else to go on.

Then there's this.

[ominous music playing]

Who is she?

What did the police say?

Nothing.

And according to them,

she gained access to a branch

using a false identity.

You never said a word about this.

And please don't tell me

it's just a coincidence.

That's all it is, in fact.

Who is she to you?

No one.

What are you doing here?

Are you on a semester break?

Come on, let's drink.

I'll get the glasses.

Malte, cut it out.

SERIES OF BANK ROBBERIES IN BERLIN

PERPETRATORS CAUGH

When were you going to tell me, huh?

You did this?

Did you give up Yusuf

to the f*cking police?

03 MONTHS

BEFORE THE ARRES

[indistinct chatter]

The chairman's giving a speech today?

What chairman?

Of the Berlin banks. The chairman.

[all applauding]

[all cheering]

[applause fades]

Thank you, thank you.

Have a seat.

My fellow colleagues,

do you know how privileged you are

to be working here?

Think we should rob him?

So privileged that even my son

has an apprenticeship here.

You want to bet

he calls him to the front?

Yeah.

Malte, come up here.

[tense music playing]

[muffled applause]

Hey. Where are you going, huh?

- Where are you going?

- I was going to tell you.

- When? When, huh?

- The chairman is your dad?

Do you know what they'll do to us

when they find out?

Malte, why are you doing this?

[Jakob] Malte?

Are these your friends?

[Melanie] It was a great speech.

This is [clears throat]

- Her name

- Melanie Hübner.

Nice to meet you.

Steven Wedemeyer.

Steven. Pleasure.

You're Yusuf Arslan, right?

Right.

Class valedictorian.

Borchert told me.

[Yusuf chuckles]

I qualified because I--

I know, I know. I was too.

Let's talk alone for a minute.

If you don't mind. Please excuse us.

[ominous music playing]

[inaudible dialogue]

- What's going on?

- No idea.

[Jakob] Hello?

- Papa!

- Hey!

I thought I heard something.

How wonderful that you're here.

- When did you get in?

- Just now.

You could have said something,

Malte, huh?

What's this?

Wow. Excellent wine.

[chuckles] We'll be right down.

Okay, I'll open the bottle.

See you in a bit.

- Okay. All right.

- [Jakob] A nice glass of wine

with my daughter and son?

What a treat!

Why do you think I betrayed him?

Because you're f*cking jealous,

Malte.

So, now we're alone. Admit it.

- You know who he is.

- I don't know Selda's brother.

And her dad? You're saying that you

don't know your girlfriend's father?

And that's why I want her and I

to learn about each other.

- Intercultural silence--

- Shut your mouth.

Tell me what's going on.

You can cut the bullshit!

We'll call you a cab.

You're free to go, sir.

- You just released our best lead!

- Oh, yeah? I'm sorry.

It took four officers.

It's a book.

No secret messages and no code.

It's just a book

that guy barely started reading.

- Are you finished?

- No.

Look familiar?

Of course not.

This woman in Zehlendorf used

false papers to rent a deposit box.

I imagine if you had kept

Yusuf Arslan

under surveillance a few more days,

you could have arrested him

in this branch.

Take care of this.

When you find her,

then you'll find the others.

What are you doing, man?

No scammers yet?

I'd have arrested them

in a couple hours.

- We need to get to the Arslans.

- Who is that?

That's for later.

Move it!

- [Koszi] I feel sorry for you.

- Yeah, you too.

[dramatic music playing]

She actually looks pretty nice, right?

What was that about your sister?

The chief physician?

Oh, yeah. The underlying motive.

There was no way that either of us

would ever be able to finish school.

So my sister got a job

at an ice-cream parlor.

Undeclared income. Money laundering.

She came home

with three thousand marks a month.

For serving ice-cream?

Not that.

It's from the money laundering.

Now, would she deserve

10 years for that?

What I'm trying to say is, from that,

she supports my parents, studies,

graduates, and then the Charité.

Underlying motivation.

Ice-cream pays that well, huh?

Oh, Kramer.

No, I know what you mean.

But Yusuf Arslan, he's shameless.

This situation's different.

I'm sure of it.

- [Mohammed] How are you?

- [Hanna] Yusuf? Hi, it's Mama.

Selda? Mama and Papa

are talking to Yusuf.

- Mama?

- Yeah. Mama.

- She's here?

- Yeah, they're both here.

[Mohammed] Son, can you hear me?

- Listen. We're going to get you out.

- What's going on?

- Yusuf.

- [whispering] It's okay, hold on.

[Selda] Where'd you get that money?

[Yusuf over phone] Selda?

You should sit down. We have to talk.

I have a plan.

Stack money, get cash

It's the best way

Stack it up, stack it up

Get your money right

Getting paid every day

It's the money life

Live it up, live it up

Better do it right

Stack it up, stack it up

Get your money right

Stack it up, stack it up

Get your money right

Getting paid every day

It's the money life

Live it up, live it up

Beter do it right

Stack it up, stack it up

Get your money right

I get the cash

Money in the bag

Stacking up paper

Run up the tab

I get the cash

Money in the bag

Stacking up paper

Run up the tab

No looking back now

It's all or nothing

We know what we gotta do

Yeah

Look at my life

How I survive

Put in the work

Then I leave it behind

It won't be forever

I know in my mind

But I am an outlaw

Ride or die

Outlaw, outlaw

Living like an outlaw

Outlaw, outlaw

Living like an outlaw

Outlaw, outlaw

Moving like an outlaw

Outlaw, outlaw

Yes, I am an outlaw

F the law, F the man

They just want to hold me down

Get the cheese, get the cash

Then we ducking out of town

Break the rules we don't need

Governmental policies

Doing what we gotta do

Being who we gotta be

Outlaws on the run

Hide out if they come

And this work is never done

Outlaws on the run

Hide out if they come

And this work is never done

Never done

I can no longer pretend

I know they don't want me to win

The system I'm in

We never play by the rules

We break 'em and do it again

Me and my friends

Cameras watching, they see it all

We stay platinum

Breaking the law

I don't recycle when I say

"I want the biggest score, yeah"

You see how they playin' us?

I can feel they're getting closer

We about to change everything

With a shift to the culture

And we about to take the power back

Bet they won't know how to act

Made moves like a big dog

Got me yelling out

"Where the dollars at?"

F the law, F the man

They just wanna hold me down

Get the cheese, get the cash

Then we ducking out of town
