I start doubting myself.

I get to thinking I'm crazy

not to make a scene.

Anyone would.

Was it Judith who

gave you that idea?

Can't I have ideas of my own?

Can't you see things

from my point of view?

God!

- You know I'm really in s..t?

- Why must you be so dramatic?

I asked you to come because

I wanted to speak to you in person.

I received this yesterday

from the police.

Karsten is being asked to come in,

this time not as a witness,

but as a suspect...

What?

Actually it's not so bad,

now I can get access to files.

So, we'll know the

result of the autopsy.

And then, I'll try to reach

a settlement with Anna's family.

If they accept, I can negotiate

with the prosecution...

and have the case dropped.

Be careful with these people.

If they get an angle,

they'll use it for all it's worth.

I'm hopeful we'll be able

to agree on an amount.

- You found nothing against them?

- No.

I don't want to go back there...

I don't want to go

to the police again.

No, no...

No, I want you to use your right

not to testify.

- I've arranged it.

- Perfect.

Arranged what?

Mr Reiss had the good idea

of us both attending

the opening

of the Adventure Lift together.

I've arranged it all.

We are getting bad press.

We have to get you

out of the line of fire.

Laura!

Bye!

Bye.

What do you think?

How long will you stay at Judith's?

To be honest...

I don't want to return

to the apartment.

I can ask the real

estate agent to find us...

something new.

We clear out the old apartment

quickly and...

I can't look for a new apartment

right now.

I can't.

You don't need to.

I'll take care of it.

- You only have to...

- I don't want to.

Please.

There's no way.

Probably you wanted to leave me

and here's your pretext.

You've no idea of the pressure

I'm also under.

How people watch me...

I can't just go home

and act like nothing happened.

Everything is...

very clear.

You're dumping me, right?

Now that I need you.

I really can't believe it!

It's unthinkable!

What gives you that idea?

Have you gone crazy?

Have you gone crazy or what?

The municipality and I are proud of

this new attraction, and I'm sure

everyone in the city will benefit

from this new achievement.

It's thanks to the support

of the Cultural Foundation

and the many donations

of the people of Altena

that we could build this lift.

My thanks to you all.

I invite Mr Bhm to join me

as representative of the donors.

The Adventure Lift would

not have been possible

without your generosity!

Thank you.

Thank you, Mr Mayor.

Ladies and gentlemen,

as you all know,

my family has supported

the town of Altena for generations.

We consider it our

self-evident duty to the town.

I would like to mention

that it was my son Karsten...

my son Karsten who gave me the idea

of contributing to the financing

of the Adventure Lift.

Yes, I wish us all a good ride.

Thank you.

"Our clinic has only ever been open

during the day.

It's been closed at night

the past five years.

Please take note."

Why didn't I just

call an ambulance?

I'm so stupid.

- I'm so stupid, so stupid...

- You're not stupid.

Stop it already.

This is all my fault.

Karsten, it's not your fault.

Don't make yourself believe in

this. You did nothing wrong.

Unbelievable.

You don't give a s..t

whether I'm guilty or not.

You're only thinking of yourself.

Egoist!

That's enough!

Now tell us,

why did you run

around like a madman?

- What were you thinking?

- Karin!

No, let him speak.

I want to understand

what was going through his head.

Why were you running to and fro?

Yes, that's right, I...

I didn't call for an ambulance.

I was afraid.

I ran away.

You know what I first thought

when I saw Anna lying there?

No-one should find out about this!

Karsten, the perfect son,

mustn't make waves.

I wanted to settle

this without hoo-ha.

Nice and quietly.

You get me?

Know what the worst thing is?

That I'm just like you.

I'm one of you.

Anna's family

doesn't want to negotiate with us.

They're not interested in money.

What interests them, then?

They might want to go to court

to prove to the general public

that Anna had done nothing wrong.

Which means?

That you'll be summoned

to testify in court.

What?

There's no cause to be afraid.

- You're not serious?

- It's not a jail sentence.

Holy s..t!

Mrs Kowaljow was asthmatic.

She died of cardiac arrhythmia

and respiratory failure.

It was caused by her medication

interacting with alcohol.

You see?

This document indicates that the

coroner's report will be decisive.

It'll inform us

if the victim could have been saved

in the first 15 minutes.

But I mean...

I didn't even know Anna had asthma.

It's not as bad as it seems.

You're always saying

the same thing!

How could it be worse?

If you are convicted,

you'll only be fined.

Yet I'd still have

been found guilty!

Calm down.

Wait until the trial.

Karsten, hi.

Karsten, Karsten.

Professor Schneider,

please step forward.

We are keen to hear your report.

The results of our blood test

indicate that Anna Kowaljow

had consumed no narcotics.

Her death involved

the effects of alcohol,

the asthma she suffered from,

and ensuing cardiac arrhythmia.

This arrhythmia is a side effect

of the asthma drug Bambuterol

that was found in her blood.

Furthermore,

there is no indication of rape

or consensual intercourse.

It cannot be excluded, however,

if a condom was used.

The bruise seen

on Mrs Kowaljow's left arm

dates to at least 24 hours

prior to her death.

Do you think that the death

of the deceased...

might have been prevented

or significantly delayed...

by timely medical intervention?

I can give no assurances

she would have survived

with a punctual paramed's help.

Cardiac massage might

have saved her, but...

it's not certain.

Thank you, Professor Schneider.

You can return to your seat.

Your honour, Mrs Sergeyevic

would like to be heard.

Go ahead.

I want to stand.

I have lost my daughter.

Do you have children?

Do you know what it means...

to lose a child?

It is the worst thing...

that can happen.

I can't understand

why someone runs outside...

and doesn't seek aid

if someone needs it...

as my daughter did.

If it were someone without

education like me...

I'd have understood. But...

You?

You could have helped my daughter.

Why didn't you call an ambulance?

Why didn't he help my daughter?

I don't understand it.

I leave the decision...

to your conscience.

There shall be a fifteen

minute interval.

The court is adjourned.

It will reconvene...

in this court room

on Wednesday at 9 am.

Go screw yourselves!

A..s!

What?

Wake up.

What are you doing here?

You can't just...

Everyone's looking for you.

Hi, Stephan here.

I found him.

Where I thought.

Don't worry, he's fine.

Hold on.

Your father.

Yes?

I'm okay.

No, I forgot my mobile at home.

What's that you say?

Why?

What does the lawyer say?
