Hey, hands off!

It's for the Presidential Suite.

- Come on, let's check it out.

- Okay.

Come on.

Awesome!

Nina!

- Catch me, old man!

- Old man?

Cool.

Mac Book Pro.

Doesn't matter.

I'll crack the code later.

No!

Please.

I'll loose my job.

Trying to f*** me over?

Who cooked this crap? You?

Hey, we ordered medium rare

and not this bloody piece of c*nt!

I ought smash your f***ing face in,

you a**hole!

Are you trying to f*** me over?

- Yes? - Where's my laptop?

- On the table.

Not anymore.

On the long table in the dining room.

It isn't here anymore.

I'm sitting at the table.

Where the whisky is.

I'm positive. I saw it there.

- It was open.

- Get up here at once.

I'll be right there.

Give me the laptop. I'll put it back.

Wait there!

Hey!

I almost shot you.

Is he dead?

F***!

He's still a kid.

F***! F***!

What an idiot!

F***! F***!

Take off your clothes and put 'em

in a laundry bag. I'll take care of 'em.

Underpants, too?

No, you can leave them on.

We are reporting from the crime scene

where just hours ago

the industrialist Thomas Backer

shot the kitchen boy Tony Ranter

in self-defense. At least, that is what.

Backer claimed when he was arrested.

Backer's security chief Nicholas Wulff,

a former major in the Foreign Legion,

was also arrested by the police.

He has commanded the protection team

for the last five years.

Thomas Backer has made his fortune

predominantly as an arms dealer

winning contracts worth billions.

But despite or because of his success,

there have been numerous rumors,

rumors of illegal money laundering,

rumors of bribery worth millions.

Backer has been publicly accused of

being involved in dubious arms trading.

He annually

donates millions

to several charities.

Thomas Backer has always been generous

with the Russian people and government.

Thomas Backer is here. Thomas Backer

is one of Germany's

most influential industrialists.

Do I have to go back

to the orphanage?

Nina, I

I'm afraid there's no other solution

in the long run.

You don't have a legal guardian.

But

right now we should find

another place for you to stay.

What do you think?

I don't know.

I just don't want

to go back to the orphanage.

It's great you made your statement

nevertheless.

Tony was the only person

who was always there for me.

And now he's dead.

I'm really sorry, Nina.

I can imagine

how terrible all this is for you.

Are you hungry?

Okay, I'll see you later.

- What did I miss?

- Nothing. We just got started.

- You entered the bathroom.

- My client refuses to comment.

He doesn't even want to describe it

from his point of view? - Right.

When you were questioned

at the crime scene by police officers,

- you said.

- You think I'm talking gibberish?

And you're aware that

the officers found a witness

in your suite who described the shooting

in a completely different way.

And she said that Tony Santer

- didn't have a gun.

- I'll get that bastard this time.

I demand to see the records

In the meantime. My client

- refuses to make a comment.

- Was it self-defense, Mr. Backer?

My client refuses to comment.

Do we have a case? - As long as

we have our witness, we have a case.

- You really want to take him to court?

- Yes. - And keep your job, too?

Oh yes.

Your witness is a nobody,

a street urchin with a record this long!

- You know why she's a street urchin?

- She's an orphan.

There's no family stupid enough

to adopt her. Two foster families

brought her back.

She didn't only break into several cars.

She also drove them. She is violent.

Here. Two violent assaults

on the warden, insults,

graffiti. She ran away from

the orphanage for three weeks.

Does she go to school? No way.

A never-ending list. Should I go on?

The fact that she has had

run-ins with the law is irrelevant

- for her credibility.

- My client has a witness.

- Who is on Mr. Backer's payroll.

- My client is a highly respected man

- who, contrary to your witness.

- Has more than one skeleton.

Stop making your assumptions!

After all,

this is not the first time you're trying

to make a name for yourself

at Mr. Backer's expense!

Do your job,

and release my client at once!

After all, there's no flight risk.

But there's a cover-up risk.

And I know how to do my job.

I know when people are lying and

when they're bullshitting me. - Oops.

Do you realize what you're saying?

I talked to the girl for three hours,

and she's telling the truth.

She knows details,

and her statements are precise.

Ms. Muller,

just imagine your orphan

in the witness stand.

It will be torture for the poor girl.

Do you really want to do that to her?

We'll tear her apart.

We'll make her even less credible

than she already is.

If that is at all possible.

Just so you know.

I'm going to apply

to have bail refused.

Your client is going to jail today.

Why am I still here?

The judge listened to Sara Muller.

Not her again.

Your phone.

- Falkner.

- Karl.

- The judge refused bail?

- I'm already on it. No problem.

What about that b*tch? - It's her case

at the moment but I'll take care of it.

What about the witness?

Can she be bought?

- That's difficult. - What do you mean?

- The witness-protection program.

Why don't I know about that?

Then get her out of it!

I can't.

t's essentially a police matter.

- What now?

- Thomas.

F*** that Thomas sh*t!

Well?

There's nothing I can do.

Oh, Karl.

We are pleased that my client

has now been released!

The judge made the decision

after new evidence was found.

Mr. Backer will make no comment!

Quiet!

You hyenas!

I will say one thing.

I am completely innocent.

And if this whole thing, this farce,

should ever go to court,

then I will look

their witness in the eyes

and we'll see who blinks first.

- Do you sell weapons to Turkey?

- Yes, on behalf of Germany.

Mr. Backer,

what's true about the Spencer affair?

- Do you feel like a murderer?

- No, I feel like a free man.

No more comments!

F***ing vermin!

Mr. Backer.

Let go of the door!

Everything's okay.

You're doing a great job.

Shut the f*** up!

Nazi bum!

What has become of this country?

Keep going!

Excuse me,

I'm looking for lactose-free milk.

Never heard of it.

It's milk without lactose.

We have soy milk and skimmed milk.

Lactose-free milk.

No.

- Never heard of it?

- Never.

- Yes?

- It's me.

- You're early.

- I missed you.

- Code word?

- Open the f***ing door!

- Did you get the milk?

- Open the door.

Did you get the milk?

Very good.

Hey, Nina.

- This is skimmed milk.

- It's all they had. Either that

- or cheese.

- It contains lactose.

You know that lactose bloats me?

I'll be on the toilet all night.

- Then don't drink it.

- What about my latte macchiato?

I'd love one.

And Leo?

Put your jacket on, or stick your gun

under your shirt. She's just a kid.

You're right.

Then do it.

Where's Helena?

Showering for you.

She's washing her hair for you.

I think she's hot for you.
