[mother, in Dutch] 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.
[electronic music playing]
[inhales deeply]
Did something happen?
A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
[menacing rock music playing]
Have you read Goethe's Faust?
It's read by every A Level student in Germany,
who forget it when they leave school.
It's about good and evil.
Faust is this young, smart, talented guy,
but his professional and personal life aren't great. He wants more.
[Moritz] Then the devil comes along.
He sells his soul and in exchange he gets everything he wants.
The end.
I think so. I mean, I didn't finish it.
[Moritz] In any case, the message was: sometimes you have to do something bad
in order to achieve something good.
[daring music playing]
[panting]
[daring music continues]
[lorry horn blaring]
It's just empty carbohydrates. You know how unhealthy that is, right?
-No amino acids, no minerals, nothing. -[Lenny groans]
-Anyway, where's Sideshow Bob? -Huh?
Waiting in the car. He wanted me to keep an eye on the bag.
Lenny, tell me you have keys, yeah?
Yeah, I have 'em. You need to relax, man. He's not gonna run away.
Lenny,
the guy is mad and he's a criminal.
Yeah.
I'm aware, more than anyone. But that was M1000.
And by doing this, Moritz is killing that guy for good. That's the deal.
Dan, my life depends on this.
If it doesn't work, it's over for me soon, anyway.
Those are very unhealthy in the long term too.
Lenny, I have something else that could help with the pain.
Uh…
It's a bit like opium, but it's natural.
[Moritz] What's taking so long? Huh?
-What's that? -Mushrooms. To help with the pain.
Drug mushrooms?
Lenny doesn't take drugs!
This kind of behaviour threatens our operation. It's irresponsible!
[Dan] Unlike you, I'm concerned about Lenny's health!
We have to leave.
-I'm waiting for my vegan frikandels. -Just eat your mushrooms then!
We have to go now.
We're not here for fun.
We've only completed 65% of the plan at most.

Who's up for some Ritalin? I got it from the kid I'm tutoring.
Wouldn't you rather study?
For the oral exam and read Faust? Make or break, remember?
That's why I'm asking. Without a little bit of support,
there's no way I can get through ten pages of that paedo poet.
[Gerda] For an anti-Semite, Faust is surprisingly un-anti-Semitic.
Just because our teachers get hard for Faust
doesn't mean you guys have to like it too. Quite the opposite.
It's different opinions that enable a complex understanding of the subject.
It's called plurality of opinion.
Wow, journalism kicking in.
[Joseph] Look at you, a natural journalist.
Journalist?
Yeah, it's not really a thing.
I was just thinking of applying to study journalism.
I thought you applied ages ago.
I'm not completely sure yet.
And what will you it be next week, huh? An astronaut? Or a foot model?
So, what are you both planning to do then after the exams?
No, no plan. I'm just gonna chill for a while.
[Joseph] Gerda?
-Marine biology, that's what I want to do. -[Joseph] That's cool!
-[Gerda] Mm-hmm. -Huh?
Since when?
Since primary school. I've always loved the ocean.
-[Fritzi] Everybody loves the ocean. -[Lisa] It's a good idea.
You know that we live far from the ocean, right?
-In Kiel, there's an interesting degree. -[Fritzi] Kiel?
Why haven't you told me about this?
You always say post-exams is pre-death and you don't wanna think about it.
If I knew you were making shitty plans, yeah, I would have asked.
Okay, I'm leaving.
Call me when the Ritalin kicks in and you go back to not giving a shit.
That's not even what Ritalin does!
-Yeah, I know. -[door slams shut]
[sighs]
And you knew all of this?
Yeah, she mentioned it once or twice.
Any other secrets?
Fritzi, you're making a big deal out of nothing.
That's what she said. [laughing]
You tried way too hard to make that fit.
That's what she said. [laughing]
"Tried way too hard to make that fit." Get it?
[German rap music playing]
[sighs]
Are you serious?
We're coming from Holland with a bag of ecstasy.
You know how often they check cars here? We can't be listening to German rap.
As if anyone gives a shit.
[Dan] I made us a whole playlist. A soundtrack for our road trip.
"Destination", "Rotterdam", "MDMA", "Takeover",
"Mach die Millen", "We Are Doing It", "One Last Time"?
Gotta admit, it's a sick playlist!
Are you brain-dead? It's public!
Huh?
-What the hell? -Yeah! I can also see that you listen to…
-Justin Bieber! -I listened to him one time as a joke!
How do I change the setting?
[police siren wailing]
[music stops]
[police siren wailing]
Shit! I told you, man! All that ecstasy!
[shouting over each other]
[Lenny] Just be cool, guys.
Hey!
[sighs]
-All good? -I was gonna ask you the same thing.
What's going on, boys?
You coming from Holland?
Um…
Yeah.
-But-- -We just went for lunch.
Ah. So you thought you'd go to the gourmet capital of Holland?
Lovely bitterballs, poffertjes, yeah? [laughing]
Yeah, do me a favour and open the boot.
Sometime today, or is there something in there you don't want us to see?
Hey!
I have a confession to make!
These guys bought drugs. That's why we were in Holland.
They want to smuggle them into Germany, but I had nothing to do with it!
[officer] Get on with it then.
Here.
-[Dan gasps] -[Moritz] I said it was a stupid idea.
And the doctor also said it was a stupid idea.
But Dan said that it's… some kind of painkiller.
Like opium but natural.
Um…
He really had nothing to do with it.
I take full responsibility. It was all my idea.
Cos my body can't handle painkillers.
[wheelchair lift beeping]
No! Please not this. Not now!
Moritz, could you check for me? I think I've forgot the replacement bag.
Whatever, it's all over now anyway! Are we going to prison?
-Lenny, you mustn't give up! -[Lenny] I wanted to forget this pain!
I admit, I wanted to try them for the trippy effects too.
I… I wanted…
For once, I just wanted…
to feel something like happiness one last time.
[crying]
[Lenny sobbing]
[laughing]
He's such a loser, man!
"My nephew also has cancer. You're the same age as each other."
He can give him the mushrooms. They're supposed to relieve pain.
[Moritz laughing]
Oh, nice. It's all going according to plan then.
[sighs]
[both laughing]

-[typing on phone] -[Marie] And then…
[Marie talking on video]
[camera shutter clicking]
[whimpering]
Right, finished.
So, how can I help you? Hmm?
It's about a new project.
We want to shoot cat videos in the garage, for YouTube.
Susi has to leave.
Let me get this straight. Um… You want me to keep Susi out the garage
so you can create…
cat video content?
[Susi panting]
Okay! No problem.
But it'll cost you, obviously.
100 euros for studio rental, 200 to cover loss of earnings,
and make it another 100 euros for Susi since she won't be able to come in.
I mean, she just loves the garage.
No idea why.
[Susi panting]
Okay, agreed.
[Marie] Come on, Susi! Come, come on!
The film crew is about to let the cat out of the bag.
-[Marie purrs, laughs] -[Dan chuckles]
[Moritz] Okay. Let's get started with the sorting.
"To see if, through Spirit powers and lips,
I might have all secrets at my fingertips."
FAUST: A TRAGEDY, PART ONE
[Lisa] Fritzi, where's your shampoo? Oh, found it!
I'm gonna die of old age before we sell all of this.
Nah, the Dutch will kill us first.
I thought you'd taken care of that.
Fuck!
In all the chaos, I totally forgot!
-I knew there was something! -Guys, you may think this is funny,
but I make up the 33 percent
who hasn't either lost their will to live or is dying of cancer.
I still have big plans for my life.
And those plans are concrete.
[Moritz playing video game]
I got accepted!
By Iserlohn. You know, for the marketing degree.
[playing video game]
Yeah, I know my grades aren't good enough,
but I impressed them so much in the Skype interview that I…
Now all I have to do is just pass my exams.
And then I'm in.
-Guys! Can you believe it? -Nice! Really!
Nice, Dan.
Thank you.
[Moritz playing video game]
Yeah!
Nice, Dan.
[groans]
So…
I'll see you at the exam then, eh?
Wait, you don't think I'm gonna leave him alone with the drugs?
Huh? What's he saying?
And what do you suggest?
[Lenny snoring]
-[sighs] Can we shut off the light now? -No, no.
Dan, it's super bright!
Some of us have to revise for an exam.
[Moritz sighs]
Kira, come to bed.
Today was a really great day.
Moritz was a good friend.
But Dan was in a weird mood.
I hope they never find out that I don't really have cancer.
Stop fighting and turn off the light!
Tomorrow's an important day.
[PA system chiming]
[indistinct PA message]
[breathes deeply]
So, how's it looking?
Not long now.
-Yeah. It's mad, right? -[Moritz] Hmm.
This is the last exam and then we're finished forever. [sighs]
[Lenny] Yeah. You could say this is the most important day of my life.
I give up. I give up.
Remember, "It's our choices that show what we truly are,
-far more than our abilities." -Huh?
Fuck. Where's that?
Is it gonna be in the exam? I've never heard it.
[chuckles] That is Harry Potter.
[laughing] It's make or break for you today, isn't it, Dan?
Me too.
You spend almost every day with somebody for years and years.
I mean, you think you know them.
In the end, everybody does their own thing.
[inhales deeply] I mean, the only thing that connects us
is the year we were born, give or take a few months.
Then people like you end up hanging out with people like Moritz.
Believe me, if I had a choice, I wouldn't be doing it.
[Dan] Oh, well. It's not forever.
Just gotta pass my A Levels, then I'm out of here.
Mr Zimmermann,
what do you think we can still learn from Faust today?
That you shouldn't trust anyone.
How could Faust have known what he was getting himself into?
If you wanna know what I think?
He should have got back at Mephisto for deceiving him.
Go, go, go.
[Lenny] Faust had no other choice.
He had to do the deal with Mephisto.
For him, everything was on the line.
A human life was at stake.
I mean, what alternative was there?
Actually, I'd much rather talk about Gretchen.
That, for me, is the real tragedy.
I mean, a 14-year-old girl
to fall in love with some really creepy old man? Yeah, right!
Yeah, that's old white men for you.
[young man clears throat]
[Moritz] Faust should have waited for the right moment.
A moment when Mephisto felt safe.
So he could then say to him:
"Mephisto, you've messed with the wrong man."
Police! Freeze!
[police shouting]
Don't move! Here!
"The man who with thee goes,
within my deepest, innermost soul I hate.
In all my life there's nothing has given my heart so keen a pang of loathing."
[exhales]
[police] Don't do anything stupid.
[triumphant music playing]
Could we maybe for once talk about how Goethe was an anti-Semite?
You should think about that before next year,
when 40 new students are standing in front of you blindly celebrating Goethe
because they memorised a YouTube video where Goethe is being blindly celebrated.
Yeah. Have a good day. Bye-bye!
Yeah, take care.

[Marie] He's been acting so weird lately.
Actually, he's been acting weird as long as I've known him.
But lately, he's been acting even weirder than normal.
I'm getting a little bit worried. You?
No, don't be worried.
It's just the way boys are.
Could you keep an eye on him when I'm not around?
Yeah, I'll look out for him. I promise.
Hey!
Spying on Moritz?
Can I join you? Or is your gang already full?
Moritz is definitely up to something.
-[Marie] Yeah, I-- -[Lisa] Leave it, Fritzo.

Oh, man! We smashed it, didn't we, Benedikt?
It was a little bit digital, a little bit analogue.
And now it's over for drugs on the internet, huh? Fuck!
-Excuse me. -What?
[Benedikt clears throat]
[groans] Whatever.
Boom!
Sent to 2.1 million contacts.
[inhales deeply, groans] Now we just wait.
It's almost too easy.
[door lock rattling]
What.
The.
Fuck?
Are you…
-insane! -[Moritz gulps]
You psycho, Moritz! You're actually fucking mad!
[Dan] Have you lost your fucking mind?
I don't know. It was a reflex! She saw everything!
What did you think was gonna happen?
I don't know, she'd pass out or something.
Then hack her into bits and hide the body parts?
-I just wanted to buy some time! -With a shitting gun?
[Lenny] Is it real?
Yeah, but…
-[Lenny sighs] -Listen. This isn't as bad as it looks.
You guys are just overreacting. It's not even loaded!
I didn't even want to have it. Doro gave it to me for self-defence.
Who fucking cares? It's a weapon!
Well, actually, it's only a weapon when it's loaded.
Like Lenny's, the one he made with a 3D printer.
-That was also for self-defence! -Oh, because that turned out fine.
I'm going to look for Fritzi. Meanwhile, you can keep an eye on this psycho!
[scoffs] "Psycho".
[Dan] Fritzi! Fritzi, wait!
-Are you okay? -Oh, yeah. Everything's just fine.
In the last 24 hours, I've found out that my best friends have been keeping secrets,
I'm not going to pass my exams, and the class losers
are running a drug empire with the guy I've always wanted.
So, yeah, I'm great! Just a normal Wednesday, you know.
By "losers", you mean Lenny and Moritz, right?
Listen, what you just saw is really hard to explain.
We're doing it for Lenny, but it'll be over soon.
Uh… I mean, with the drugs.
[sighs] Come on. Why don't we get you to the hospital? They'll take care of you.
Hospital? That was Moritz. He's the one you should be worried about.
Uh, Fritzi?
-Did you find her? -Yeah, I did.
And?
Yeah, all good.
Guys, she knows everything now!
-[groans] Fuck's sake! -What?
-Well, I thought… -She'd forgot everything cos you hit her?
-In films, when they get hit on the head-- -She hasn't forgotten anything!
Come on, guys!
You understand if somebody finds out what we're doing, we're absolutely fucked?
That's what actually happens in films.
As soon as someone finds out what's going on, the plans go 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 couple of the blues. They're the least popular anyway.
[sighs] That worked out well, right, guys?
This time, maybe. But who are you gonna pull your gun on next?
-I don't even know how it works! -There's just one trigger!
Come on, Lenny!
This guy is insane! What else will it take for you to say something?
Yeah… but--
We have the MDMA. We can finish without him, Lenny!
[chuckles] Dan, you… I mean…
Lenny. It's me or the psycho here with the gun!
-But we need Mo-- -It's me or the psycho!
[sighs]

Now there is a quote!
Jeff Bezos.
[door creaks open]
So? What do you think? How many orders?
I say 4,000.
Twenty-three thousand.
-[Lenny chuckles] -[Moritz] Hmm…
Okay… Ready?
23,416. As of when I left, anyway.
I thought we'd check together.
[laughing] Twenty-three thousand?
We have to pack and ship them all now.
-[typing] -Do we really?
What do you mean?
Well, we already have the money.
We wanted to take the shop offline, so we don't care what people think, right?
That's out of the question! How would that look?
That's… criminal!
Moritz…
We sell drugs.
Yeah, but we sell them ethically!
Well, within context.
Lenny, I can find a way to handle this.
-You should get some rest. -What?
No. Not a chance in hell. We're in this together.
OK. If you insist.

We're so happy to welcome you here, Lenny, to St Joseph Medical Centre.
-Do you have any questions? -No questions.
[song continues over radio]
[Lenny snoring]
That's the last order packed.
-We did it. -Yeah, I guess that's it then.
MyDrugs is history.
In a few years, we'll look back on this and laugh our arses off.
Hmm? Then we'll sell the story to Netflix for a shit ton of money.
But it's probably too unrealistic for them.
Yeah!
Who would believe that two 17-year-olds
earned over 900,000 euros from selling drugs in two days,
-just to save one of their lives? -[Lenny chuckles]
Thanks, Mo.
Yeah, or I'll use it to buy new drugs and double the money.
Or put it all on red.
That was a joke.
You should set the password for the wallet.
If I were you, I wouldn't trust me.

DRUG RAID IN SODA FACTORY
[mobile phone chimes]
[mobile phone buzzing]
Hey! [chuckles]
Sorry, I couldn't remember how to answer a phone call.
What year is it, by the way? 1999?
Yeah. It's unbelievable, isn't it?
That people still do this. Talk on the phone in real time.
Without a delete button.
[chuckles]
Where you have to think about what to say before saying it.
Um… how's Fritzi doing?
With the A Level stuff?
Did she, um… Have you spoken to her recently?
Yeah, she's feeling better about it.
I think she kind of saw it coming about the exams.
[Moritz] Mmm.
Plus, she started sewing my dress for the leaver's ball today.
So…
Tell me again, what do you have under control?
[Moritz] Hmm?
Yeah, you were saying about Holland. How you have everything under control.
[Moritz] Oh, the raid. Yeah.
Everything's going according to plan.
What plan?
My plan.
Hello? You still there?
Yeah.
What do you mean, your plan?
[Moritz] I killed two birds with one stone.
For one thing, there was this police officer
who was coming after MyDrugs, but he had nothing on us.
He was totally lost.
So I proposed a deal.
I have an idea.
I would deliver him a much bigger fish…
The Dutch.
And me, he would forget about me completely.
And in all the confusion, I could steal
a million euros' worth of drugs from the Dutch,
for Lenny and his treatment.
And all we needed for the plan to work was a folding shovel,
a bag,
and a few people who we know buy drugs off the internet.
Or who sell them.
And it worked incredibly well.
Now we just have to make sure that every last trace is erased
and that our names won't show up anywhere.
And I really mean every last trace.
So, I served him Europe's biggest drug ring on a silver platter.
Yeah, but…
It's just a matter of time before the Dutch start talking.
[Moritz] Hmm… I don't think so. Let me put it this way.
The Dutch are now guests of close friends of a close friend of mine.
And their hospitality is something the Dutch definitely can't take for granted.
So it's been taken care of. They will forget our names very quickly.
[screaming]
Hey, Lisa.
You're the only person I can talk to about all this. [inhales deeply]
I don't know what I'd do without you.
I…
I mean, it's… it's just good to have someone to speak to who just listens.
Thank you.
Mo?
There's actually something I have to talk to you about.
How does tomorrow sound?
Okay.
Well…
I've finally found something I really want to do.
I'm interested in people, I'm curious.
I even managed to work out that my ex was an international drug lord.
And now there's this journalism degree in Berlin.
The application isn't easy and you have to submit your own essay that's original.
OK.
Sounds amazing. I'm happy for you.
The sessions we've been having recently, there was another reason behind them.
They weren't just about studying.
Well, sure. You weren't exactly subtle about it.
-Really? -Lisa.
Nobody knows you better than I do.
Come on, I was gonna notice.
[sighs] You don't know what a relief it is to hear that.
I thought you'd totally lose your shit
when you found out I was recording you this whole time.
Weren't you scared? I could have gone to the police.
You couldn't have known about the application.
It's all anonymous, and I'll delete everything after.
I need to say, it's been… [fades out]
It's just such a good story!
You were recording me?
Oh my God. Is this a fucking joke? I thought you were interested in me!
But all along you were just interested in my story.
I went through fucking hell for you!
I gave it all up so I could be the old Moritz again.
I had a chance. I actually had a chance for a minute.
-What did you do? -You did it for me?
Bullshit. You did it for yourself, Moritz. You did it all for you.
Just like I wrote this article for myself.
But at least I can admit it! Can you do that?
Can you take some fucking responsibility?
Ugh!
[Lisa] So, one of them's called Beeke.
-What's the other one's name? -[Moritz] Marlene.
But you're still the CEO?
I am, yeah.
Can we stop talking about MyDrugs and focus on studying?
Everyone has secrets.
But everyone pretends to be normal.
And they do things in secret they don't want anyone else to know about.
Oh, fuck!
[Moritz] I mean, it's crazy.
If I had done the same thing with… I dunno, muesli, for example,
I would be famous now.
And everyone would know my name.
Sometimes I'm scared that my life will never be as exciting
as it was last year.
[Lisa] And even though I probably know him better than anyone,
I couldn't tell you whether he's actually going to stop.
