At home, Josi is different.
She is well behaved and very quiet.
That's why it's so strange--
I understand, but it's not the first time that this has happened.
Did something happen?
A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
Do you know Goethe's Faust?
Every German high schooler has to read it, just to forget it once school ends.
It's about good and evil.
Faust is this young, smart, talented guy.
But things aren't going well in his life. He wants more.
Then the devil shows up,
and he sells his soul in exchange for all he wants.
The end.
Well, I think. I never finished it.
But the message was:
Sometimes you might have to do something evil
to achieve something good.
It's just empty carbs. You know how unhealthy that is?
No amino acids, no minerals, nada.
Where's Sideshow Bob, anyway?
Oh, he's waiting in the car. He wanted to keep an eye on the bag.
You have the key, right?
Yeah, I got it.
Relax. He's not gonna take off.
Lenny,
the dude is crazy and a criminal.
Yeah.
I know! Better than anyone. But that was M1000.
And he's killing M1000 with this, permanently.
That's the deal.
Hey Dan, this is about my life. If it doesn't work, it's over for me.
Those are unhealthy long-term, too.
Lenny, look, I got something for you
that can also help with the pain.
It's a little like opium, but it's natural.
What's taking so long? Huh?
-What's that? -Mushrooms. For Lenny's pain.
Drug-mushrooms?
Lenny doesn't take drugs!
You're jeopardizing our whole operation. It's irresponsible!
Unlike you, I care about Lenny's health!
Can we go?
-My vegan frikandels aren't done yet! -Then eat your mushrooms!
We have to go now.
This isn't for fun.
We're only through about 65% of the plan, max.
Who's up for Ritalin?
-I got it from the kid I'm tutoring. -What about the oral exam?
And reading Faust? All or nothing, remember?
That's why I'm offering.
Without it, I couldn't get through ten pages of that pedo poet.
For an anti-Semite, Faust is surprisingly un-antisemitic.
Just because our teachers jerk off to Faust,
doesn't mean you have to like it.
In fact, only differing viewpoints make complex understanding possible.
-Pluralism of opinion. -Wow, journalism kicking in.
Oh, look at the journalist.
Journalist?
Yeah, not important.
I'm thinking of applying to a journalism program.
I thought you already did?
I'm still not sure.
And what will you want to be next week? Astronaut? Foot model?
What are you two doing after graduation? Any plans?
No plan at all. Chill for a while, that's for sure.
And you?
I want to study marine biology.
Oh cool!
Huh?
Since when?
Since I was a kid! I've always loved the ocean.
-Everyone loves the ocean. -I still think it's a good idea.
You know how far the closest ocean is?
-In Kiel, there's a program that-- -Kiel?
Why did you never tell me?
"Post-school is pre-death. I don't wanna think about it."
If I knew your plans were so shitty, I would have asked.
Okay, I'm just gonna go.
Call me when the Ritalin kicks in and nothing matters again.
-That's not how Ritalin works! -Yeah, I know.
And you knew about this?
Yeah, she mentioned it at some point.
Any other secrets?
Fritzi, you're making this too big a thing.
Oh God, that really didn't fit.
Because "it didn't fit" Get it?
Are you crazy?
We're exiting Holland with a sack of ecstasy.
They might check our car. You think blasting German rap will help?
As if anyone would care.
I made us a whole playlist. A little soundtrack for our road trip.
"Destination," "Rotterdam," "MDMA," "Takeover,"
"Make the Milli," "We Are Doing It," "One Last Time"?
Dope playlist, you gotta admit.
Are you brain dead? It's public!
-What? -Yeah! And I can see that you…
-listen to Justin Bieber! -I listened to him once as a joke!
Where can I shut that off?
Shit! I told you so! All that ecstasy in the trunk!
Fuck, fuck, fuck!
Everyone, stay cool.
Hi.
-Everything okay? -I wanted to ask you the same thing.
What's the matter with you?
Are you coming from Holland?
Um…
Yes.
-But-- -We were just there for lunch!
Ah. So you drove to the bastion of cuisine that is Holland.
Tasty bitterballen, poffertjes, yeah?
Open the trunk.
Hurry up. Or is there something in there you don't want me to see?
Hello?
I have a confession to make!
The guys bought drugs. That's why we were in Holland.
To smuggle them into Germany.
I have nothing to do with it!
So, now please step to the side.
Here.
I told them it was a bad idea.
And the doctor, too. He also said it was a bad idea.
But Dan said it's a kind of pain reliever.
Like opium, but it's natural.
Um…
He really had nothing to do with it.
I take full responsibility. It was all my idea.
Because I don't tolerate the pain pills well.
Oh, no! Not now!
Moritz, can you check? I think I forgot the replacement bag.
Whatever, it's all over now! Are we going to jail?
-Lenny! You can't give up! -I just wanted to forget this damn pain.
I'll admit it, also because of the intoxicating effect.
I wanted…
Man, I wanted to just once…
feel something like joy, one last time.
What a loser!
"My nephew has cancer, too. He's the same age as you!"
He can give him the mushrooms. They're supposed to relieve pain.
Nice. Then everything's going according to plan again.
Hi, everyone. It's Marie again! I have a new trick for you.
Hi, everyone. It's Marie again!
Hi, everyone. It's Marie again--
It's really cool!
You can pull this thread through a straw.
Take this ribbon.
Pull it through the hood of the sweatshirt.
Finished.
So. How can I help you? Hmm?
It's for a new project.
We want to use the garage to film cat videos. For YouTube.
So, Susi can't be here.
You need me… to keep Susi away from the garage,
so that you…
can film cat videos?
Sure, I can do that.
But not for free, obviously.
Studio rental, 100 euros, loss of earnings, 200 euros,
and another 100 euros for Susi for not being able to go in the garage.
She loves this garage.
No clue why.
Okay, agreed.
Come, Susi! Out.
The film crew is about to let the cat out of the bag.
Okay, then. Let's start sorting.
"To see if, through Spirit powers and lips,
I might have all secrets at my fingertips."
FAUST: A TRAGEDY, PART ONE
Fritzi, where's your shampoo? Ah… here it is!
I'll die of old age before we've sold all of it.
No way. The Dutch will have killed us by then.
I thought you took care of that!
Fuck.
-In all the chaos, I completely forgot! -I knew there was something!
Hey, you may find this funny,
but I am one of the 33 percent of us
who hasn't lost the will to live and isn't dying of cancer.
I still have plans for my life.
Concrete plans.
I got accepted!
University of Iserlohn. For the marketing program.
I know, my grades aren't good enough,
but I really convinced them in the Skype interview.
Now I just have to pass the Abitur.
And then I'm in.
Can you believe it?
Nice! Really!
Nice, Dan.
Thanks.
Yeah!
Nice, Dan.
So…
Then see you at the exam?
You think I'm gonna leave him alone with the drugs?
Huh? Why not?
And what do you suggest we do?
Can you shut off the light now?
No.
Dude, it's so bright!
Some of us have to actually study for tests like this.
Kira, come to bed.
Today was a really nice day.
Moritz was a good friend.
But Dan was in a weird mood.
I hope they never find out that I don't actually have cancer.
Stop fighting and shut off the light!
Tomorrow's a big day.
How is it looking?
It's about to start.
Yeah. Crazy, right?
Last exam, and then that's it for good.
You could almost say it's the most important day of my life.
I give up.
I… give up.
"It is our choices that show what we truly are,
far more than our abilities."
Fuck. Where is that?
I've never heard that before. Is it gonna be on the test?
It's from Harry Potter!
For you, it's all or nothing today, too, right?
For me, too.
You spend so many years together almost every day.
You think you know each other.
But then, everybody goes and does their own thing.
I mean, the only thing connecting us
is the year we were born, give or take a year.
And then people like you are hanging out with people like Moritz?
Trust me, if I had a choice, I wouldn't be.
Oh, well. It's not forever.
First, pass the Abitur, then I'm out of here.
Mr. Zimmermann.
What do you think we could still learn from Faust today?
That you can't trust anyone.
I mean, how could Faust have known what he was getting himself into?
You know what I think?
He should have paid Mephisto back for his deceit.
Go.
I don't think Faust had any choice.
He had to do the trade with Mephisto.
For him, everything was on the line.
An entire human life.
What alternative did he have?
I'd actually much rather talk about Gretchen.
That's where the real tragedy is.
Of course, a 14-year-old girl
is supposed to fall in love with this old bastard.
Yeah, that's white, old men for you.
Faust should have waited for the right moment.
A moment when Mephisto feels safe.
To then show him:
"Mephisto, you messed with the wrong man."
Police! Freeze!
Don't move! Here.
"The man who with thee goes, thy mate,
within my deepest, inmost soul I hate.
In all my life there's nothing has given my heart so keen a pang of loathing."
Don't do anything stupid.
Can we talk for once about how Goethe was an anti-Semite?
Well, maybe think about that before next year,
when 40 more students uncritically celebrate Goethe
because they memorized a YouTube video
of someone uncritically celebrating Goethe.
Oh, well. Have a good day. Ciao!
Yeah, take care.
He's acting so weird lately.
I mean, he's acted weird as long as I've known him.
But right now, he's acting even weirder than usual.
I'm a little worried.
You?
No, don't be.
It's just… boys, you know!
Could you still keep an eye on him for me when I'm not around?
Yeah, I will. Promise.
Hey!
Spying on Moritz?
Can I join you? Or is your gang already full?
He's up to something.
-Yeah, I think-- -Just leave it, Fritzo.
Man, we nailed it, kiddo. Good work.
A little digital, a little analog.
And that's it for drugs on the Internet.
Fuck!
-Excuse me. -What?
Oh, man.
Out to 1.2 million contacts.
Now we just have to wait.
Almost too easy.
What the--
Are you insane?
You fucking psycho! What the hell is wrong with you?
Have you lost your mind?
That was a reflex! She saw everything!
And what were you expecting?
I dunno, I thought she would pass out!
Then you would chop her up and bury her, or what?
-I was buying us time! -With a fucking gun?
Is it real?
Yeah, it is…
Hey, listen. It looks worse than it is.
We're making too big a deal of this. It's not even loaded!
I didn't even want it! Doro gave it to me for self-defense--
Doesn't matter! It's a weapon!
Well, it's only a weapon when it's loaded.
Like Lenny's weapon from the 3D-printer.
-Which was also for self-defense! -And that worked out so well.
I'm looking for Fritzi.
And you keep an eye on this psycho!
"Psycho."
Fritzi! Wait!
Are you okay?
Of course!
In the last 24 hours,
I've found out my best friends are keeping secrets,
I'm failing the Abitur,
and the class dorks
run a drug empire with the guy I always wanted to get with.
So yeah, pretty typical Wednesday, actually.
By "dorks," you mean Lenny and Moritz, right?
Listen, what you just saw is really hard to explain.
We're doing this for Lenny. But it will be over soon anyway.
The drugs, I mean.
Come on. First, let's get you to the hospital.
Hospital? Dude, that was Moritz.
Have them check on him instead.
Uh, Fritzi?
-Did you find her? -Yeah, I did.
And?
Everything's fine.
Except for the fact that now she knows everything!
-Ah, damn it. -What?
Well, I thought…
She forgot everything when you hit her?
Well, sometimes in movies when they--
She did not forget.
People!
Do you realize how dangerous it'll be if anyone finds out about this?
That's what you see in movies.
Once one uninvolved person knows something, it goes down the drain.
She won't say anything.
I promised her a bag of MDMA for her to keep her mouth shut, as compensation.
You did what?
Good work, Dan.
But just a few of the blues. They're the least popular anyway.
Oof, that worked out well, didn't it, boys?
Yeah, this time. But who are you gonna try your gun on next?
-I don't even know how it works. -What button do you even press?
Lenny, the guy is crazy and you know it! What else is it gonna take?
Yeah, but--
We have the MDMA. We could finish this without him!
Dan, listen. I need--
Lenny. Me or the psycho with the gun?
-We need Moritz for the plan-- -Me or the psycho?
"Two souls, alas, dwell in my breast,
each seeks to rule without the other.
The one with robust love's desires--"
What's that supposed to mean?
"If you can't feed a team with two pizzas, it's too large."
Now that's a quote.
Jeff Bezos.
So?
How many orders?
I say 4,000.
It's 23,000.
'Kay…
Ready?
It's 23,416. At least as of when I left.
I thought we'd check together.
Twenty-three thousand?
Now we have to pack and ship them all.
Do we really have to?
What do you mean?
Well, we already have the money.
We're taking the shop offline.
So, it doesn't matter what people think of us.
Out of the question! How would that look?
It would be criminal!
Moritz.
We sell drugs.
Yeah, but we sell them ethically!
As ethically as possible.
Look, Lenny, I can manage it somehow by myself.
-You get some rest at home. -What?
No.
No, definitely not. We'll do it together.
OK. If you insist.
-Hey. -Come in.
The last order.
-We did it. -That's it, then.
MyDrugs is history.
In a few years, we'll look back on all this and laugh our asses off.
Then we'll sell the story for a shit ton of money to Netflix.
But it would probably be too unrealistic.
Yeah, probably.
Who would believe that two high school seniors
earned over 900,000 euros from drugs in two days,
just to save one of their lives?
Thanks, Mo.
Or I buy new drugs with it and double our money.
Or put it all on red.
I'm kidding.
You should set the password for the wallet.
If I were you, I wouldn't trust me anymore.
DRUG RAID IN SODA FACTORY
Hey!
Sorry, I couldn't remember how to take a phone call.
What year is it? 1999?
Yeah. Crazy, right?
That people still do this? Phone calls in real time?
Without any delete button.
You have to think about what to say before saying it.
Umm… how's Fritzi doing?
I mean, with the Abitur stuff?
Did she… I mean, have you talked to her again?
Yeah, she's calmed back down.
She had kind of seen the Abitur thing coming.
Plus she started sewing my dress for the graduation ball today.
So…
Tell me again, what do you have under control?
Huh?
You said something about Holland. Everything is under control?
Oh, the raid. Yes.
All is going according to plan.
What plan?
My plan.
Hello? Are you still there?
Yeah.
What do you mean, your plan?
I killed two birds with one stone.
For one, there was this policeman
who was coming after MyDrugs but had nothing on us.
He was completely lost.
So I proposed a deal to him.
I have an idea.
I deliver him a much bigger fish…
…the Dutch.
And in exchange, he forgets me completely.
And I could use all the commotion as a chance
to steal 1,000,000 euros worth of drugs from the Dutch,
for Lenny and his treatment.
And all I needed was a folding shovel
and a bag.
And a few people who we knew buy drugs on the Internet.
Or sell.
It worked surprisingly well.
Now we just need to make sure we thoroughly erase all traces,
so our names never pop up anywhere again.
And by that, I really mean all traces.
That's how I served him Europe's largest drug ring on a silver platter.
Yeah, but…
It's only a matter of time before the Dutch rat you out.
I don't think so.
Let's put it this way.
The Dutch are now guests of good friends of good friends.
And their hospitality isn't something the Dutch can take for granted.
So it's expected that they forget our names very quickly.
Hey, Lisa.
You know, you're the only person I can talk to about all this.
I don't know what I would do without you.
I…
I mean, it's just good to have someone who listens.
Thank you.
Mo?
There's something I have to talk to you about.
Do you have time tomorrow?
Yeah.
So…
I finally found something I really want to do.
I'm interested in people, I'm curious…
I even managed to find out that my ex is an international drug baron.
And there's this journalism program in Berlin.
The application process isn't so easy.
You have to apply with an original essay.
OK.
Sounds awesome. I'm happy for you.
Our meetings recently, they were for another reason.
It wasn't just about studying.
Sure. You weren't exactly subtle about it.
-Really? -Lisa.
I know you better than anyone.
You thought I wouldn't notice?
You have no idea how much of a relief this is.
I thought you'd freak out when you found out I was recording.
Weren't you afraid?
I could have gone to the police.
You couldn't have known it was for the application.
It's all anonymous, and I'm deleting it afterwards.
But I gotta say, it's already really great.
It's such a good story!
You recorded me?
What the fuck?
I thought you wanted to be with me.
But you only wanted my story this whole time.
I've gone through fucking hell for you!
I gave it all up, so that I could be the old Moritz again.
That was my chance.
That was it. For one brief moment.
-And what do you do? -You did it for me?
Bullshit. You did it for you.
Only for you.
Just like I wrote the article for me!
But at least I can admit it! Can you?
Finally take some fucking responsibility!
OK, and then there's Beeke, and what's the other one's name?
Marlene.
But you're still the CEO?
Yeah, I am!
Can we stop talking about MyDrugs and instead focus on studying?
Everyone has secrets.
But everyone pretends to be normal.
And secretly they do stuff
that they don't want anyone to know about.
I mean, it is crazy.
If I had done the same thing but with, I dunno… cereal,
then I'd be famous now.
And everyone would know my name.
Sometimes I do worry
that my life will never be as exciting as it's been the last year.
Although probably no one knows him better than I do,
I could not say whether he will actually stop doing it.
