- "Before I can answer you,
"I first must join with Satan.
"Let me gaze to
the face of truth.
"Forgetfulness is granted you.
"I know a sacred potion,
rued from magic herb,
"which renews the heart.
"But whoever needs it must
prick the herb themself,
"at midnight.
"The place is ghostly."
- Beautifully read, sweetie.
- When do we go to the opera
to see the carnival ball?
- The masked ball.
On Friday.
- Time for bed.
- Mm-hmm.
(footsteps thudding)
- Sweet dreams, kiddo.
- Good night.
- Good night, sweetheart.
(footsteps thudding)
(door hinge creaking)
(footsteps thudding)
(gentle music)
(footsteps thudding)
(gentle music)
So.
- So.
- Where were we?
Oh,
you were going to tell me
what was going through
your head last night?
(both laughing)
- Was I?
- Mm-hmm.
(both laughing)
- Amelia.
- When was the last time Jakob?
- Last night.
- Four months before that.
- I know.
(footsteps thudding)
(tonearm cranking)
(gentle music)
(singers vocalizing)
- [Jakob Voiceover] Without
music, life would be a mistake.
(upbeat music)
(people chattering)
- Want a drink?
(upbeat music)
(people chattering)
(upbeat music)
(people chattering)
(upbeat music)
- Wanna fuck?
(upbeat music)
- What?
- Do you like the music?
- Not really.
(upbeat music)
- I'm Domino.
Have you met my girlfriend?
(upbeat music)
- Hi.
I'm Domina.
- Domina.
Domino.
I'm Dominos.
(upbeat music)
(Domina moaning)
(upbeat music)
- Wanna go someplace else?
- Someplace else?
(upbeat music)
- [Jakob Voiceover]
Someplace else.
(upbeat music)
- You wanna get outta here?
- Sure.
(upbeat music)
(footsteps tapping)
(vehicle engines revving)
- Hello.
(speaking in foreign language)
(car engine revving)
(door thudding)
(both moaning)
(both laughing)
- Oh.
(gentle music)
(singers vocalizing)
Were you thinking about those
two girls, when we had sex?
- I was thinking about the
guy who was hitting on you.
(glass clanking)
(drink bubbling)
- Did it make you jealous?
- Did you want to?
- Last night, in the club,
I don't know, maybe.
But now, no.
- The thought of a total
stranger turns you on.
- Well, those remote dildo girls
turned you on, didn't they?
(singers vocalizing)
- Okay.
Sure, I was aroused.
- Okay.
Now we're getting somewhere.
Did you wanna fuck them?
- Going to that
club was your idea.
- Jakob, it was your idea
to talk to those girls?
Did you wanna fuck them?
- Yes, I did.
But I don't think we should
read into it too much.
- Why,
'cause you're a man?
- Because if it's nothing more
than desire, it's not real.
- Do you really believe that?
- Yes.
(Amelia sighing)
- If only you knew.
- If only I knew what?
Tell me.
- Do you really wanna know?
- Yes.
- Do you remember our
vacation in Denmark?
Something happened there.
- Right,
you mean the girl I saw?
(birds chirping)
(water splashing)
(gentle music)
(birds chirping)
(gentle music)
(water splashing)
- No, you already
told me about her.
Actually,
I meant,
something happened
to me in Denmark.
Do you remember the young
man sitting at the table,
next to us in the bar,
the one who got some
kind of message?
- What about him?
- I'd seen him earlier that day.
He looked at me just once,
but, he didn't smile.
In fact, his expressions
seemed to darken.
(gentle music)
And I felt so moved,
like never before in my life.
I laid dreaming
about it all day.
(people chattering)
(water splashing)
If he had spoken to me,
would I have been
able to resist?
I imagine I was up for
just about anything.
But at the same time,
you were closer to me
than ever before.
That afternoon we
talked more openly
than we had in a long time,
about our future together,
about Henny, about us.
(gentle music)
But then later at
the restaurant,
I saw him on the beach.
I was so happy to see him.
(waves crashing)
I stroked your head, kissed you.
I felt so much pity for you.
I don't think it
was a coincidence
that he and his
friends were sitting
right next to us that night.
He didn't look at me,
but I toyed with the idea
of standing up and saying,
here I am, take me.
The hotel manager came and
whispered something in his ear.
He went pale.
But then he looked at me.
And then he left the room.
(footsteps thudding)
- Come on.
- The next morning I woke
up with a sense of fear.
Whether it was fear he had gone
or that he might still
be there, I don't know.
But when he didn't
reappear by afternoon,
I breathed the sigh of relief.
- And?
(gentle music)
- Since then,
I can't help but seeing
him when we fuck.
(gentle music)
(cellphone ringing)
- Hello.
Okay, did you call a paramedic?
Good.
I'm on my way.
Yes, of course.
- You have to go?
- Bollinger's had
another seizure.
- Aren't there paramedics?
(footsteps tapping)
- I'm the family doctor, I
have to make an appearance.
- Okay.
- Hopefully it
won't take too long.

(actress coughing)
(singing in foreign language)
(vehicle engines revving)
(footsteps thudding)
- Hello.
Marianne.
- Hello, Jakob.
Thank you for coming.
- Of course.
- He's dead.
- I'm so sorry, Marianne.
- I sent the paramedics away.
They wanted to stay, but I
said my fiance is on his way.
- Your father was
a wonderful man.
(Marianne crying)
(gentle music)
- Do you wanna see him?
- Of course.
(gentle music)
He's in his bedroom?
- Yes.
(footsteps thudding)
(gentle music)
(footsteps tapping)
(gentle music)
- Father always liked
you a lot, Jakob.
And so do I.
- I like you too, Marianne.
(gentle music)
Will your fiance be here soon?
- Yes.
(gentle music)
- He's accepted a
professorship in Breman.
- In Breman?
- Yeah.
We'll be moving soon.
- Bremen's a beautiful city.
(gentle music)
- My father was actually quite
worried about my brother,
we haven't heard from
him in five years.
Nobody really knows
what happened.
My father never really
wanted to talk about it, but.
- [Jakob Voiceover] I wonder
if he can still hear us.
- Probably.
- [Jakob Voiceover] Maybe
he just appears to be dead.
Maybe all of us just
appear to be dead
for the first few hours.
Which reminds me of a strange
story I heard at university
about a young man was seduced,
well raped actually,
by his aunt on his
mother's deathbed.
(gentle music)
But then the corpse did,
what corpses sometimes do.
(corpse gasping)
It released a final gasp
of air through its mouth.
- Jakob.
(floor boars creaking)
Jakob, I love you.
- Marianne.
- I don't wanna get married
and I don't wanna leave Berlin.
- Marianne, stop.
Stop, stand up.
Marianne.
(gentle music)
- I dream of you so often.
- [Jakob Voiceover]
I wonder if Amelia
acts on all her dreams.
- You're in shock,
you've lost your father.
I'm going to prescribe
you something.
(gentle music)
(footsteps tapping)
(gentle music)
- Hello darling.
I came as quickly as I could.
Thank you for coming, Doctor.
Were you here when?
- I was too late,
unfortunately.
Will you be okay on your own?
- Yes, sure.
Of course, you'll need to be
going home to your family.
- Marianne, again, my
sincere condolences.
- Thank you, Doctor.
I hope we see you again
before we move away.

- Just a lucky guess.
(footsteps tapping)
What are you up to?
(vehicle engines revving)
- I actually have no idea.
- Wanna come to my place?
- Your place?
- It's right around the corner.
- Aha.
And what would we
do at your place?
- Come with me
and I'll show you.
(both laughing)
I'm Mizzi by the way.
- Hi, Mizzi.
I'm Jakob.
(footsteps tapping)
- You coming?
- [Jakob Voiceover] Say no.
(upbeat music)
(door thudding)
Apple pie until
the day I die
I want to see your hips
going down, down, down
I want to be
loving on the floor
(upbeat music)
See, I can't stop
talking about you
See
Can't stop fucking about you
See
- Welcome, Sir.
I'm Lady Mina.
- Good evening.
- I see you already
made your choice.
That's fine.
Prices are listed next
to the bedside table.
Condoms are obligatory.
No weird stuff.
Only what Mizzi's offering.
Have fun.
Take the red salon please.
The blue and yellow
are occupied, hm.
- Okay.
(upbeat music)
My temple of love
My temple of trust
Our temple of lies
Be my apple pie
until the day I die
I want to see your
hips going down
(upbeat music)
(door thudding)
(footsteps tapping)
- Why don't you get undressed?
(footsteps tapping)
(Jakob sighing)
Yes, they're real.
(footsteps tapping)
(upbeat music)
I prefer to have a
walk on sunny days
(upbeat music)
But nevermind, I'll take
you out even on rainy days
The only thing you gotta do
is press 2 for freeing me
And I'll be there
Faster than a
Delivery express
(upbeat music)
Call me up I'll
calm you down
- Tired?
Whenever you want
Bring me up, I calm you down
Ooh
Get lost in my eyes
What is happening
on your mind
You're looking bad
I love to put a smile
right on your face
(upbeat music)
Let me put it right
You're my kind of prototype
- You're not wearing
any lipstick.
Me and you on our own
- Why should I?
How old do you think I am?
Call me up, I calm you down
Pick me up whenever you want
Ring me up, I calm you down
Ooh
Get lost in my eyes
- [Jakob Voiceover] Do I
really wanna get back at Amelia
with a prostitute?
What if she has a disease?
Ring me up, I calm you down
- [Jakob Voiceover]
Although I've probably
already been infected with
some fatal illness, anyway.
- Gimme a deep breath.
(Bollinger coughing)
Okay.
- So, what's it
look like, Doctor?
Can you help me?
- Of course, Mr. Bollinger,
I'm gonna take good care of you.
(Bollinger coughing)
(footsteps tapping)
Daydreaming
- I can't.
Play myself who
is this dumbo
- Are you afraid of me?
Repeat enough combos
Play myself who
is this dumbo
- Pity.
Repeating all combos
Playing myself
who is this dumbo
Daydreaming

(lighter clicking)
- Maybe you're
right to be scared.
This is a dangerous city.
(footsteps tapping)
I'll make ends meet
elsewhere tonight.
(footsteps tapping)
(door thudding)
(vehicle engines revving)
(upbeat music)
This man's got
no saying frog
So he hangs back
in a guard mask
Underneath his long cloak
It's a false hope
because he knows
Beware who you love
Tender or torture
It's never enough
Somebody's daughter
is dying tonight
Giving her life
Beneath the bitter
Berlin lights
He still will decide
Like a bit paranoid
In his fever-filled dreams
Nothing's quite as it seems
So conflicted

(Jakob speaking in

(doorman speaking

(upbeat music)
(woman singing in

- What's your poison, sweetie?
- I'll have a beer please.
(woman singing in

- Pils or Lager?
- Lager.
(woman singing in

(upbeat music)
(woman singing in

- That'll be 7.50.

- Jakob,
I can't believe that you, of
all people, would come in here.
- Nick Nachtigall,
the nightingale has
flown back to Berlin.
(both laughing)
- Come on, let's sit down.
(gentle music)
(ice clanking)
(gentle music)
- So,
I mean, you must
be a surgeon now.
How do you still
find time to play?
- Nah, I left it all behind.
- Why?
- Remember Zara, Zara Artovsky?
We had a torrid affair,
and you won't believe it.
Twins.
- Twins?
Wow.
Congrats man, I'm happy for you.
(gentle music)
- Yeah.
We moved back to Rocinha,
and I'm traveling the
world with different bands.
(gentle music)
Gotta feed those six mouths.
- Six.
You have six kids?
- Well, what can I say, Jakob?
She's Catholic, I'm a Jew.
We don't do contraception.
And I'm not great
at pulling out.
(both laughing)
(gentle music)
- Ah, Nick.
So you're playing
piano full time now?
(gentle music)
- You probably don't know,
but I had a few problems.
- Shit, what happened?
- Well, there was
this guy in Fretzgita.
- [Jakob Voiceover] Of
course I know all about it.
The kids, the woman, the
studies, his affairs.
(people chattering)
(gentle music)
He could have become one
of the greatest pianists
of his generation.
(gentle piano music)
But unfortunately,
he had to mess
with the Minister
of Culture's Wife.
(Nick moaning)
(Nick speaking in
foreign language)
- Magda.
(Minister speaking
in foreign language)
(gun firing)
(Magda screaming)
(Nick screaming)
(all speaking in

(gentle music)
- [Jakob Voiceover] For years,
I didn't hear anything from him,
until I got a call from Kosovo.
(gentle upbeat guitar music)
- Hello, Jakob, Jakob.
It's Nick, Nick Nachtigall.
- Nick.
Jesus, how the hell are you?
- Listen, I'll make it brief.
I need your help.
Could you please
quickly transfer me
a thousand euros via Pay app?
- Are you in trouble?
Why Pay app?
(Nick speaking in
foreign language)
(gentle music)
Bitcoin would also do.
- Bitcoin?
- Yeah, but no Ethereum, please.
- Look, I don't
have any of those,
but I can send you
money through Pay app.
- Well, thank God.
You're the best.
I will pay you back ASAP.
- Of course, no problem.
Is everything all right?
- Listen, this is
the email address.
- It's HAL.
- Hold on.
Okay.
- 655321@overlook.net.
- Done.
(cellphone beeping)
(guard speaking in

- Jakob, I would
pay it all back.
Thank you.

- Well, I know it's really late.
I'm ashamed that I
haven't been in touch
for such a long time.
Here, 300.
- Is that your fee for tonight?
- Yeah.
I have another gig
tonight, and they pay well.
- Wait, you're
playing again tonight?
- Yep, at three.
- At three?
What is it, some uber
cool Berlin thing?
(Nick laughing)
- Well, yes and no.
(gentle music)
I'm playing at a
private residence.
And I have no idea who pays me.
- Is this the first time
you're playing there?
- No, it's the third
time at that event.
The houses change.
- I don't get it.
- Well, this time it's the
Brockman Villa at Wanzi.
(gentle music)
Jakob,
I've seen a lot in my days.
I've been in Albania, Romania,
but this,
I'm being picked up.
They'll be here soon.
(gentle music)
- Okay, Nick,
I'm curious.
What are we talking about?
A secret party, an orgy?
(Nick laughing)
- It's some sort of a ball.
- A ball?
And you're playing
the music for it?
- I'm not really sure what for.
I'm always blindfolded.
- Nachtigall, come on.
(Jakob laughing)
What aren't you telling me, hm?
- Recently, I was able
to peek over my mask.
- And what did you see?
- Jakob, I swear to
you, I've never seen
such a collection of stunning
men and women, never.
- So what does it
cost to get in?
- No, that's not how it works.
- Okay, so how does it work?
- You need a code word and
it's different every time.
- And tonight?
(Nick laughing)
- Look at you, the
way you're dressed,
there's no way to get in.
Everyone is wearing
cloaks and masks.
(gentle music)
They're here.
Goodbye.
- Hey, hey, hey,
hey, wait a minute.
I know the venue and
I can get a mask.
- At two o'clock in the morning?
- Let me worry about that.
Hey, all debts are paid.
- I don't want to end
up at a ditch somewhere.
- Come on.
Well?
- Verde.
(gentle music)
Be careful.

(Jakob knocking)
- We're closed.
- Gibiser, it's Dr.
Friedman, do you remember me?
I treated you some time ago.
- Yeah.
What are you after, Doctor?
- I'm sorry for
disturbing you so late.
- No, no, it's okay.
I need a cloak and
a mask, urgently.
- Of course.
(keys jingling)
Come in.
(vehicle engines revving)
(door thudding)
I never would have thought
that the doctor has one of us.
(upbeat music)
- Yes, what can I say?
- What kind of mask you need?
I did not realize that
there was still some action
going on tonight.
- Yes, it's a private party.
- Private?
It's good.
(upbeat music)
- I need a cardinal's
cloak and a mask.
- Well then follow me.
(upbeat music)
Yeah, that's a classical way.
Yeah.
And a mask.
That's what I've got right now.
- This is perfect.
What was that?
- Wait, I don't know.
(people moaning)
(upbeat music)
Oh, it's disgusting.
Embarrassing.
You both stay here until I
handed you over to the police.
- We only followed the
invitation of your son.
- Your son?
(Gibiser screaming)
- Can't you see, he's crazy?
- Okay, Chizana, let's go.
We're leaving.
- You are not going anywhere.
Doctor, sorry.
Excuse the incident.
(Gibiser laughing)
- Should I call the police?
- But we paid.
- Yes.
Online, upfront.
- Online.
(Gibiser speaking
in foreign language)
Yeah.
- Take me with you.
- [Woman] Okay.
- Yeah.
Yeah.
- We're going.
- Yeah, yeah.
Both of you, you stay until
I finish with the doctor.
And first of all, have a
serious chat with my son.
Come on.
- Hey, hey.
Go.
(door thudding)
- Is he okay?
- Yeah, of course.
You see, I have to sort
something out here.
You take the costume and
have fun, enjoy the evening,
and come back when you're done.
One minute.
(footsteps tapping)
- What's the matter
with your son?
- He's ill you see?
- You mean mentally?
- He's depraved.
- If he's ill then
he needs help.
- Of course, and I
will take care of it.
- Promise me you're not doing
anything to harm your son.
- I promise.
I will get some medical advice.
But now I have a serious chat
with the ladies downstairs.
(door thudding)
Have fun.

(upbeat music)
(Amelia moaning)
(upbeat music)
(car engine revving)
(upbeat music)
- You're sure this is right?
- Definitely.
Tell you what, I'm gonna
give you a hundred euros now
to wait over there
until I get back.
- [Driver] How
long will that be?
- I don't know, maybe five
minutes, maybe an hour.
I'll give you another a
hundred if you're still here.
- Okay.
(vehicle engines revving)
(car door thudding)
- The code word please.
- Verde.
- Welcome.
- Your coat.
(dramatic music)
- Please put on your
master and cloak.

for you to leave.
If you're discovered,
it'll be bad for you.
I'd be very sorry for you.
- I'll take my chances.
(dramatic music)
(footsteps tapping)
- Why so lonely?
Let's dance.
(dramatic music)
(woman singing in
foreign language)
- Did she send you
here to check me out?
(woman singing in
foreign language)
(dramatic music)
- Just let me have
him for two minutes,
then it's your yours
until the morning.
Let's go someplace else.
(dramatic music)
(woman singing in
foreign language)
(footsteps tapping)
Do not ask.
Leave before it's too late.
And it can be too
late at any moment.
- Who are you?
- It doesn't matter.
Make sure no one follows you.
Or there will be no
more peace for you.
Go.
- Will I see you again?
- Impossible.
- Then I'm staying.
- Leave.
- This is all part of
the game, isn't it?
It's a test.
- You don't know what this is.
My life is in danger
as much as yours.
- Or is this the punishment
for someone without
an invitation?
- There is only
one penalty here.
For the last time, go.
(dramatic music)
- Come with me.
- You are crazy, I
cannot go with you.
(dramatic music)
- [Guest] May I ask
a lady to dance?
(dramatic music)
- [Jakob Voiceover] Who
the fuck are these people?
(dramatic music)
This all has to be
some kind of show.
(dramatic music)
(footsteps tapping)
- Password.
- Verde.
- Follow me.
(footsteps tapping)
(dramatic music)
(footsteps tapping)
- The password.
- Verde.
- Won't you do us the
courtesy of telling us
the password for the house?
- For the house?
- You've given us the
password for the entrance.
Now give us the
password for the house.
- I seem to have forgotten it.
- That's unfortunate.
Because it doesn't matter
whether you forgotten it
or never knew it, same
punishment applies.
- Take off your mask.
- Take off your mask.
- Take off your mask.
- Take off your mask.
- Take off your mask.
- Stop.
If I have insulted any of
you with my presence here,
I offer my sincerest apologies.
- Take of your mask.
You will be told to your
face what your punishment is.
- Don't touch me.
Get off me.
(dramatic music)
- Let him go.
I'm ready to sacrifice
myself for him.
(dramatic music)
- Do you know the consequences?
- I do.
(footsteps tapping)
- So be it.
You are free to go.
- Sacrifice, what do
you mean sacrifice?
- She must sacrifice
her own life.
- What?
Come on, what is this?
No one is sacrificing
themselves on my behalf.
- Once a promise has been made
here, there's no going back
and there's nothing you can do
to alter the fate of this woman.
(Jakob laughing)
- Okay.
Okay, fine, I'm scared.
You taught me a lesson.
But enough with
this carnival farce.
Tell you man up
there to let her go.
- The decision has been made.
You can now leave
this house unharmed.
- Fuck you, this is crazy.
I'll call the police.
- Beware,
you would per without saving me.
Now go.
Here I am, you can have me.
- Stop.
No.
Get off me.
What did he do with her?
(dramatic music)
(car engine revving)
Stop the car.
Stop the car.
(car tires screeching)
(car engine revving)
(Jakob panting)
(car tires screeching)

(footsteps tapping)
- [Gibiser Voiceover] I
never would have thought
that the doctor has one of us.
- [Mizzi Voiceover] I'll make
ends meet elsewhere tonight.
(footsteps tapping)
- [Woman Voiceover] Won't
you do us the courtesy
of telling us the
password for the house?
(footsteps tapping)
- [Nick Voiceover] I
don't want to end up
in a ditch somewhere.
- [Amelia Voiceover] Since then,
I can't help but seeing
him when we fuck.
(announcement bell chiming)
(announcer speaking

(footsteps tapping)
(cellphone beeping)
(man coughing)
- Bloody hell.
(Jakob speaking in

You?
You can't help me, Doctor.
(man coughing)
(dramatic music)
(footsteps tapping)
(dramatic music)
- Hello.
(train engine revving)
(gentle upbeat music)
There's my trigger light
As a sex show,
as Lee Brad oh
Nothing on our lips
Make a rad miss
It's electric
Beware what you wish
It comes back to bite you
For taking the risk
and playing with voodoo
The priestess arrives
As dark as the night
Beneath the bitter
Berlin lights
He still will decide
Like a a bit paranoid
In his fever-filled dreams
Nothing's quite as it seems
So conflicted he slides
Between hell and paradise
He's ill with desire
(keys jingling)
Ill with desire
He's ill with desire
(keys jingling)
(footsteps tapping)
(door thudding)
(door hinge creaking)
(Amelia laughing)
(gentle music)
(Amelia laughing)
(gentle music)
- Hey, hey, hey,
shh, shh, it's me.
You were dreaming.
(gentle music)
- What time is it?
- Just pass five.
- Just past five.
Did you only just get home?
- Mm.
- Bollinger died.
- No.
- We had to stay.
- I have such crazy dreams.
(Amelia sighing)
- What about?
- I can't say exactly.
You must be so tired.
(gentle music)
- Well.
- What do you mean, well?
- The dream
- My dream?
Hmm.
We were at hotel in Denmark
and all at once, you were
standing in front of the window.
You embraced me
and you were so much in love.
(gentle music)
- You too, I hope.
- Even more so.
In spite of our
love, we were sad
as if we had some
kind of premonition.
(gentle music)
(Amelia sighing)
- [Amelia Voiceover]
We stood outside
and the mist swirled around us.
There was a lake and a
mountain scape before us.
(gentle music)
Suddenly it was mourning.
We both wanted to
go back into town,
but my clothes were gone.
Then I ran content and naked
around the meadow and sang.
And my voice sounded
so wonderful.
I wished people could
hear me down in the town.
I couldn't see the
village from where I was,
but I could sense it,
it wasn't Asian or
German, but somehow both.
(gentle music)
Out of the forest came a young
man in a light, modern suit.
He looked like the Danish
man I told you about.
(gentle music)
At the same time you
were in the sunken city,
going from house to
house, store to store
in a type of Turkish bizarre.
And you bought me the most
beautiful things you could find.
(gentle music)
Suddenly I was no longer in
the clearing by the woods,
but on an endless
flower filled meadow
that faded into the
horizon on all sides.
Along with the
Danish man and me,
there were three or 10 or
thousand other couples.
(gentle music)
It felt like endless
freedom, happiness.
(dramatic music)
- I saw you.
And you were ceased by soldiers.
And there were priests there
and a huge man
bound your wrists.
And I knew you were
going to be executed.
(dramatic music)
A young woman
appeared on a balcony,
she was the ruler of the land.
She looked down at you with a
severe questioning expression.
- [Woman Voiceover]
Telling us the password.
- You stood alone
surrounded by people.
I heard their murmuring
and their whispering.
The princess leaned over
the railing, it fell silent.
And she gave you a sign
as if ordering you
to come up to her.
And I knew she was
going to pardon you.
(gentle music)
But you didn't notice her sign
or you didn't want to notice it.
(gentle music)
With your hands still bound
and wrapped in black rope,
you stood in front
of her in a courtroom
and she held a sheet of
parchment, your death penalty.
She asked you to
become her husband
and the death sentence
would be lifted.
But you shook your head.
And I wasn't surprised,
because how could
it be any other way
than you having to remain
loyal to me for all eternity.
But then you were
in a torture chamber
with whipping blows
raining down on your back.
(dramatic music)
The princess approached you
and all that covered her
perfect and naked body
was her long hair.
And then I knew she was
the girl from the club.
She didn't say a word but wanted
you to become her husband.
And you again said no.
Suddenly she disappeared.
And I saw them putting
up a cross for you.
Your body was covered in welts.
(dramatic music)
I waited for you with
anticipation but no compassion.
An immense incomprehensible
distance laid between us.
(dramatic music)
And then you smiled at me,
as if to give me a sign
that you had fulfilled my wish.
And I found it
stupid and senseless
and wanted to laugh at you.
Because out of loyalty to me,
you had endured such torture
and didn't marry the princess.
(dramatic music)
So, I wanted you to
hear my laughter,
as they nailed
you to your cross.
(dramatic music)
And that was the
laughter that woke me up.
Then I knew you would
never cheat on me.
(dramatic music)
(vehicle engines revving)
(Jakob knocking)
(woman speaking in
foreign language)
- Deutsch, English?
(woman speaking in
foreign language)
I know you're not open yet.
I'm looking for my
friend Nick Nachtigall.
(woman speaking in
foreign language)
Yes, Nick.
- [Woman] Yeah.
- Hotel.
Do you know what hotel he's in?
- Hotel, yes.
- Hotel.
(vehicle engines revving)
Where?
- Hotel.
- Ah.
- Hotel.
- Okay, thank you.
(woman speaking in
foreign language)
(vehicle engines revving)
(footsteps tapping)
(telephone ringing)
- Good morning,
I'd like to speak to my
friend Nick Nachtigall,
he's a guest here.
- He's in demand, your friend.
- Really?
- You're not going
to hurt him, are you?
- What, no?
Why would you say that?
- He came here at 5:30 a.m
with two guys in suits.
- Who were they?
- They didn't say.
They arrived in a SUV.
- And what did
they do with them?
- It was unreal.
They were wearing carnival masks
and your friend looked to
be in a really bad way.
- In a bad way, how so?
- They'd clearly just
given him a good beating.
And while your
friend went upstairs,
one of them paid
the bill in cash.
- Did you call the police?
- No.
- Then what happened?
- He came down with a suitcase
and they all sped off.
- He didn't leave a number
or anything, did he?
(vehicle engines revving)
Thank you.
(footsteps tapping)
(dramatic music)
(vehicle engines revving)
(Jakob knocking)
- Yoo hoo.
Ha, ha, you again.
What a lovely day.
- I came to return the costume
and to pay for it, of course.
- Ah, did it do the trick?
- Yes it did, thanks.
- Yeah, it's 50 for the
mask, 20 for the cloak,
a little bit extra
for the night fee
and VAT makes 130 euros.
Sorry, you can't
come inside right now
because of a little
bit of a sort out.
- What happened last night?
- What do you mean?
- With your son.
- What about my son?
- You're not going to
consult a doctor, are you?
- Like you, for example.
- I didn't say that.
- Yeah.
- And you didn't
call the police.
- Of course not.
But we found a much
better arrangement.
And now enjoy the day.
(vehicle engines revving)
(door thudding)
(footsteps tapping)
(vehicle engines revving)
- Dr. Friedman,
Dr. Wolfenstein says hello.
Mrs. Torrens has to cancel
her 12 o'clock appointment
and there's a bed
available for Mr. Gilarge
at the Ludevic Hall.
- Can I see his file please?
- Sure.
(footsteps tapping)
Should I confirm the appointment
with the tax advisor,
today for 2:00 p.m?
- Yes, thank you.
(footsteps tapping)
(gentle upbeat music)
(cellphone ringing)
(footsteps tapping)
- Yes.
- Hey, I just wanted
to hear your voice.
- [Henny] Is it Daddy?
- Yes, darling.
- Let me speak.
Hi Daddy.
We're going to the opera
tomorrow evening, aren't we?
- Yes, we are, sweetie.
Can you put Mommy back on?
- We need to do some shopping
or should we order online?
- Here I am, you can have me.
- [Jakob Voiceover] No.
- Yes, do that.
I have a few more
appointments today,
but I'll try to be
home for dinner.
- Okay.
Have a great day.
- You too.
- Frau Veidt,
cancel my appointments
for today.
Something's come up.
- [Veidt] Oh.
Yes, okay.
(upbeat music)
(car engine revving)
(upbeat music)
(man singing in

- [Jakob Voiceover] What
happened to that woman?

A second warning.
What will be the third?
(vehicle engines revving)
(car door thudding)
(footsteps tapping)
- Good morning, Doctor.
- Morning Professor Roediger.
I came by to see how
Marianne's holding up.
- In view of the circumstances,
I would say we're
doing all right.
- I wrote her a
prescription last night
and apparently I forgot
to give it to her.
- Oh, well my fiance
is now on a train
to my mother's in Bremen.
Her father's funeral is taking
place the day after tomorrow
and we plan to move there now.
- Wow, it's all
happening very fast.
- Yes it is.
I just sorted out the
moving service today
and tomorrow I'll
be joining her.
- Well then, please give
my regards to Marianne
and I wish you the best of luck
for your new lives together.
- Thank you.
I'll pass on the message.
Goodbye.
(footsteps tapping)
(vehicle engines revving)
(car door thudding)
(gentle upbeat music)
- A new life in a new city.
I've read stories of people
who suddenly disappeared
from their regular
everyday lives
and resurface
somewhere overseas,
where they begin a new life
as a completely
different person.
And to then return after years,
unable to remember where who
they were for all that time.
Like waking from a dream.
And all that remains
is a mysterious aura,
a numbness that stays with you.
And you're left
wondering if you actually
experienced that feeling
or if you only dreamed it.
(gentle music)
Only dreamed it.
(dramatic music)
(vehicle engines revving)
(footsteps crunching)
(door buzzing)
(gentle upbeat music)
- Welcome, Sir.
I'm Lady Mina.
- Good afternoon, I'd
like to see Mizzi.
- Mizzi's not here, I'm afraid.
- When will she be back?
- Could I perhaps introduce
you to Bella and Nina?
They also offer duets.
- Where is Mizzi?
(Lady Mina speaking
in foreign language)
Is there a problem?
- Ms. Mizzi no
longer works here.
Now, I must ask you to
leave my establishment.
- What's going on here?
- You mean, it's
escaped your notice.
Our premises are fitted
with surveillance cameras.
Anyone coming in
and out is recorded.
(dramatic music)
A straightforward security
precaution, of course.

- Do we know each other?
- I get that a lot.
I also work at the Nachtclub.
(people chattering)
- So you know Nick,
Nick Nachtigall?
- Never heard of him.
What can I get you?
- I'll have the omelet
and an espresso please.
- [Waiter] On the way.
(people chattering)
(upbeat music)
Omelet is on it's way.
- I changed my mind, sorry,
I'll just have the coffee.

- Oh.
(receptionist laughing)
- I'm a doctor.
- Have you got a
patient here with us?
- Yes, I'm Natasha
Debushka's health doctor.
- The prostitute?
- Yes, that's right.
- My colleague from
the early shift
told me that she was
brought here this morning
just before 6:00 a.m
by two strange men.
- Strange men?
- Yeah.
It was all a bit strange.
The two men disappeared
without saying anything
and just left her here.
(announcer people
speaking indistinctly)
It was probably some sex thing.
(keyboard keys clacking)
- Can you tell me
where she is now?
- Sure.
(keyboard keys clacking)
Oh, it says here that she died,
about an hour ago.
- She died?
- I'm sorry.
(dramatic music)
(man coughing)
- No one can help you now.

(gentle music)
(vehicle engines revving)
What do we do now, Amelia?
- Be grateful, I guess.
(gentle music)
- For what, exactly?
- That we're awake.
(gentle music)
So nail me to
the cutest tree
(upbeat music)
Baby I know you
and you know me
(upbeat music)
Then drape the night
around your shoulders
(upbeat music)
I will be your heat
when you grow colder
So high
Like Spanish fly
So sweet
And so divine
(upbeat music)
Like Spanish fly
(upbeat music)
So let your
greediness unfold
(upbeat music)
So unconstrained
and uncontrolled
(upbeat music)
Yeah
So high
Like Spanish fly
So careless
As she leaves me dry
We're feeling high
Oh no we're so high
(upbeat music)
So high
Like Spanish fly
So greedy
She spreads like fire
Electrifies like Spanish fly
Such a loaded dice
Under perfect skies
Like Spanish fly

- Beautifully read, sweetie.
- When do we go to the opera
to see the carnival ball?
- The masked ball.
On Friday.
- Time for bed.
- Mm-hmm.
(footsteps thudding)
- Sweet dreams, kiddo.
- Good night.
- Good night, sweetheart.
(footsteps thudding)
(door hinge creaking)
(footsteps thudding)

So.
- So.
- Where were we?
Oh,
you were going to tell me
what was going through
your head last night?
(both laughing)
- Was I?
- Mm-hmm.
(both laughing)
- Amelia.
- When was the last time Jakob?
- Last night.
- Four months before that.
- I know.
(footsteps thudding)
(tonearm cranking)

(upbeat music)
- Wanna fuck?
(upbeat music)

- Do you like the music?
- Not really.
(upbeat music)
- I'm Domino.
Have you met my girlfriend?
(upbeat music)
- Hi.
I'm Domina.
- Domina.
Domino.
I'm Dominos.
(upbeat music)
(Domina moaning)
(upbeat music)
- Wanna go someplace else?
- Someplace else?
(upbeat music)
- [Jakob Voiceover]
Someplace else.
(upbeat music)
- You wanna get outta here?
- Sure.
(upbeat music)
(footsteps tapping)
(vehicle engines revving)
- Hello.
(speaking in foreign language)
(car engine revving)
(door thudding)
(both moaning)
(both laughing)
- Oh.
(gentle music)
(singers vocalizing)
Were you thinking about those
two girls, when we had sex?
- I was thinking about the
guy who was hitting on you.
(glass clanking)
(drink bubbling)
- Did it make you jealous?
- Did you want to?
- Last night, in the club,
I don't know, maybe.
But now, no.
- The thought of a total
stranger turns you on.
- Well, those remote dildo girls
turned you on, didn't they?
(singers vocalizing)
- Okay.
Sure, I was aroused.
- Okay.
Now we're getting somewhere.
Did you wanna fuck them?
- Going to that
club was your idea.
- Jakob, it was your idea
to talk to those girls?
Did you wanna fuck them?
- Yes, I did.
But I don't think we should
read into it too much.
- Why,
'cause you're a man?
- Because if it's nothing more
than desire, it's not real.
- Do you really believe that?
- Yes.
(Amelia sighing)
- If only you knew.
- If only I knew what?
Tell me.
- Do you really wanna know?
- Yes.
- Do you remember our
vacation in Denmark?
Something happened there.
- Right,
you mean the girl I saw?
(birds chirping)
(water splashing)
(gentle music)
(birds chirping)
(gentle music)
(water splashing)
- No, you already
told me about her.
Actually,
I meant,
something happened
to me in Denmark.
Do you remember the young
man sitting at the table,
next to us in the bar,
the one who got some
kind of message?
- What about him?
- I'd seen him earlier that day.
He looked at me just once,
but, he didn't smile.
In fact, his expressions
seemed to darken.
(gentle music)
And I felt so moved,
like never before in my life.
I laid dreaming
about it all day.
(people chattering)
(water splashing)
If he had spoken to me,
would I have been
able to resist?
I imagine I was up for
just about anything.
But at the same time,
you were closer to me
than ever before.
That afternoon we
talked more openly
than we had in a long time,
about our future together,
about Henny, about us.
(gentle music)
But then later at
the restaurant,
I saw him on the beach.
I was so happy to see him.
(waves crashing)
I stroked your head, kissed you.
I felt so much pity for you.
I don't think it
was a coincidence
that he and his
friends were sitting
right next to us that night.
He didn't look at me,
but I toyed with the idea
of standing up and saying,
here I am, take me.
The hotel manager came and
whispered something in his ear.
He went pale.
But then he looked at me.
And then he left the room.
(footsteps thudding)
- Come on.
- The next morning I woke
up with a sense of fear.
Whether it was fear he had gone
or that he might still
be there, I don't know.
But when he didn't
reappear by afternoon,
I breathed the sigh of relief.
- And?
(gentle music)
- Since then,
I can't help but seeing
him when we fuck.
(gentle music)
(cellphone ringing)
- Hello.
Okay, did you call a paramedic?
Good.
I'm on my way.
Yes, of course.
- You have to go?
- Bollinger's had
another seizure.
- Aren't there paramedics?
(footsteps tapping)
- I'm the family doctor, I
have to make an appearance.
- Okay.
- Hopefully it
won't take too long.

Marianne.
- Hello, Jakob.
Thank you for coming.
- Of course.
- He's dead.
- I'm so sorry, Marianne.
- I sent the paramedics away.
They wanted to stay, but I
said my fiance is on his way.
- Your father was
a wonderful man.
(Marianne crying)
(gentle music)
- Do you wanna see him?
- Of course.
(gentle music)
He's in his bedroom?
- Yes.
(footsteps thudding)
(gentle music)
(footsteps tapping)
(gentle music)
- Father always liked
you a lot, Jakob.
And so do I.
- I like you too, Marianne.
(gentle music)
Will your fiance be here soon?
- Yes.
(gentle music)
- He's accepted a
professorship in Breman.
- In Breman?
- Yeah.
We'll be moving soon.
- Bremen's a beautiful city.
(gentle music)
- My father was actually quite
worried about my brother,
we haven't heard from
him in five years.
Nobody really knows
what happened.
My father never really
wanted to talk about it, but.
- [Jakob Voiceover] I wonder
if he can still hear us.
- Probably.
- [Jakob Voiceover] Maybe
he just appears to be dead.
Maybe all of us just
appear to be dead
for the first few hours.
Which reminds me of a strange
story I heard at university
about a young man was seduced,
well raped actually,
by his aunt on his
mother's deathbed.
(gentle music)
But then the corpse did,
what corpses sometimes do.
(corpse gasping)
It released a final gasp
of air through its mouth.
- Jakob.
(floor boars creaking)
Jakob, I love you.
- Marianne.
- I don't wanna get married
and I don't wanna leave Berlin.
- Marianne, stop.
Stop, stand up.
Marianne.
(gentle music)
- I dream of you so often.
- [Jakob Voiceover]
I wonder if Amelia
acts on all her dreams.
- You're in shock,
you've lost your father.
I'm going to prescribe
you something.
(gentle music)
(footsteps tapping)
(gentle music)
- Hello darling.
I came as quickly as I could.
Thank you for coming, Doctor.
Were you here when?
- I was too late,
unfortunately.
Will you be okay on your own?
- Yes, sure.
Of course, you'll need to be
going home to your family.
- Marianne, again, my
sincere condolences.
- Thank you, Doctor.
I hope we see you again
before we move away.

(footsteps tapping)
What are you up to?
(vehicle engines revving)
- I actually have no idea.
- Wanna come to my place?
- Your place?
- It's right around the corner.
- Aha.
And what would we
do at your place?
- Come with me
and I'll show you.
(both laughing)
I'm Mizzi by the way.
- Hi, Mizzi.
I'm Jakob.
(footsteps tapping)
- You coming?
- [Jakob Voiceover] Say no.
(upbeat music)
(door thudding)
Apple pie until
the day I die
I want to see your hips
going down, down, down
I want to be
loving on the floor
(upbeat music)
See, I can't stop
talking about you
See
Can't stop fucking about you
See
- Welcome, Sir.
I'm Lady Mina.
- Good evening.
- I see you already
made your choice.
That's fine.
Prices are listed next
to the bedside table.
Condoms are obligatory.
No weird stuff.
Only what Mizzi's offering.
Have fun.
Take the red salon please.
The blue and yellow
are occupied, hm.
- Okay.
(upbeat music)
My temple of love
My temple of trust
Our temple of lies
Be my apple pie

I want to see your
hips going down

(door thudding)
(footsteps tapping)
- Why don't you get undressed?
(footsteps tapping)
(Jakob sighing)
Yes, they're real.
(footsteps tapping)
(upbeat music)
I prefer to have a
walk on sunny days
(upbeat music)
But nevermind, I'll take
you out even on rainy days
The only thing you gotta do
is press 2 for freeing me
And I'll be there
Faster than a
Delivery express
(upbeat music)
Call me up I'll
calm you down
- Tired?
Whenever you want
Bring me up, I calm you down
Ooh
Get lost in my eyes
What is happening
on your mind
You're looking bad
I love to put a smile
right on your face
(upbeat music)
Let me put it right
You're my kind of prototype
- You're not wearing
any lipstick.
Me and you on our own
- Why should I?
How old do you think I am?
Call me up, I calm you down
Pick me up whenever you want
Ring me up, I calm you down
Ooh
Get lost in my eyes
- [Jakob Voiceover] Do I
really wanna get back at Amelia
with a prostitute?
What if she has a disease?
Ring me up, I calm you down
- [Jakob Voiceover]
Although I've probably
already been infected with
some fatal illness, anyway.
- Gimme a deep breath.
(Bollinger coughing)
Okay.
- So, what's it
look like, Doctor?
Can you help me?
- Of course, Mr. Bollinger,
I'm gonna take good care of you.
(Bollinger coughing)
(footsteps tapping)
Daydreaming
- I can't.
Play myself who
is this dumbo
- Are you afraid of me?
Repeat enough combos
Play myself who
is this dumbo
- Pity.
Repeating all combos
Playing myself
who is this dumbo
Daydreaming

(lighter clicking)
- Maybe you're
right to be scared.
This is a dangerous city.
(footsteps tapping)
I'll make ends meet
elsewhere tonight.

(vehicle engines revving)
(upbeat music)
This man's got
no saying frog
So he hangs back
in a guard mask
Underneath his long cloak
It's a false hope
because he knows
Beware who you love
Tender or torture
It's never enough
Somebody's daughter
is dying tonight
Giving her life
Beneath the bitter
Berlin lights
He still will decide
Like a bit paranoid
In his fever-filled dreams
Nothing's quite as it seems
So conflicted

I can't believe that you, of

- Nick Nachtigall,
the nightingale has
flown back to Berlin.
(both laughing)
- Come on, let's sit down.
(gentle music)
(ice clanking)
(gentle music)
- So,
I mean, you must
be a surgeon now.
How do you still
find time to play?
- Nah, I left it all behind.
- Why?
- Remember Zara, Zara Artovsky?
We had a torrid affair,
and you won't believe it.
Twins.
- Twins?
Wow.
Congrats man, I'm happy for you.
(gentle music)
- Yeah.
We moved back to Rocinha,
and I'm traveling the
world with different bands.
(gentle music)
Gotta feed those six mouths.
- Six.
You have six kids?
- Well, what can I say, Jakob?
She's Catholic, I'm a Jew.
We don't do contraception.
And I'm not great
at pulling out.
(both laughing)
(gentle music)
- Ah, Nick.
So you're playing
piano full time now?
(gentle music)
- You probably don't know,
but I had a few problems.
- Shit, what happened?
- Well, there was
this guy in Fretzgita.
- [Jakob Voiceover] Of
course I know all about it.
The kids, the woman, the
studies, his affairs.
(people chattering)
(gentle music)
He could have become one
of the greatest pianists
of his generation.
(gentle piano music)
But unfortunately,
he had to mess
with the Minister
of Culture's Wife.

I didn't hear anything from him,
until I got a call from Kosovo.
(gentle upbeat guitar music)
- Hello, Jakob, Jakob.
It's Nick, Nick Nachtigall.
- Nick.
Jesus, how the hell are you?
- Listen, I'll make it brief.
I need your help.
Could you please
quickly transfer me
a thousand euros via Pay app?
- Are you in trouble?
Why Pay app?
(Nick speaking in
foreign language)
(gentle music)
Bitcoin would also do.
- Bitcoin?
- Yeah, but no Ethereum, please.
- Look, I don't
have any of those,
but I can send you
money through Pay app.
- Well, thank God.
You're the best.
I will pay you back ASAP.
- Of course, no problem.
Is everything all right?
- Listen, this is
the email address.
- It's HAL.
- Hold on.
Okay.
- 655321@overlook.net.
- Done.
(cellphone beeping)
(guard speaking in

pay it all back.

I'm ashamed that I
haven't been in touch
for such a long time.
Here, 300.
- Is that your fee for tonight?
- Yeah.
I have another gig
tonight, and they pay well.
- Wait, you're
playing again tonight?
- Yep, at three.
- At three?
What is it, some uber
cool Berlin thing?
(Nick laughing)
- Well, yes and no.
(gentle music)
I'm playing at a
private residence.
And I have no idea who pays me.
- Is this the first time
you're playing there?
- No, it's the third
time at that event.
The houses change.
- I don't get it.
- Well, this time it's the
Brockman Villa at Wanzi.
(gentle music)
Jakob,
I've seen a lot in my days.
I've been in Albania, Romania,
but this,
I'm being picked up.
They'll be here soon.
(gentle music)
- Okay, Nick,
I'm curious.
What are we talking about?
A secret party, an orgy?
(Nick laughing)
- It's some sort of a ball.
- A ball?
And you're playing
the music for it?
- I'm not really sure what for.
I'm always blindfolded.
- Nachtigall, come on.
(Jakob laughing)
What aren't you telling me, hm?
- Recently, I was able
to peek over my mask.
- And what did you see?
- Jakob, I swear to
you, I've never seen
such a collection of stunning
men and women, never.
- So what does it
cost to get in?
- No, that's not how it works.
- Okay, so how does it work?
- You need a code word and
it's different every time.
- And tonight?
(Nick laughing)
- Look at you, the
way you're dressed,
there's no way to get in.
Everyone is wearing
cloaks and masks.
(gentle music)
They're here.
Goodbye.
- Hey, hey, hey,
hey, wait a minute.
I know the venue and
I can get a mask.
- At two o'clock in the morning?
- Let me worry about that.
Hey, all debts are paid.
- I don't want to end
up at a ditch somewhere.
- Come on.
Well?
- Verde.

- Gibiser, it's Dr.
Friedman, do you remember me?
I treated you some time ago.
- Yeah.
What are you after, Doctor?
- I'm sorry for
disturbing you so late.
- No, no, it's okay.
I need a cloak and
a mask, urgently.
- Of course.
(keys jingling)
Come in.
(vehicle engines revving)
(door thudding)
I never would have thought
that the doctor has one of us.
(upbeat music)
- Yes, what can I say?
- What kind of mask you need?
I did not realize that
there was still some action
going on tonight.
- Yes, it's a private party.
- Private?
It's good.
(upbeat music)
- I need a cardinal's
cloak and a mask.
- Well then follow me.
(upbeat music)
Yeah, that's a classical way.
Yeah.
And a mask.
That's what I've got right now.
- This is perfect.
What was that?
- Wait, I don't know.
(people moaning)
(upbeat music)
Oh, it's disgusting.
Embarrassing.
You both stay here until I
handed you over to the police.
- We only followed the
invitation of your son.
- Your son?
(Gibiser screaming)
- Can't you see, he's crazy?
- Okay, Chizana, let's go.
We're leaving.
- You are not going anywhere.
Doctor, sorry.
Excuse the incident.
(Gibiser laughing)
- Should I call the police?
- But we paid.
- Yes.
Online, upfront.
- Online.
(Gibiser speaking
in foreign language)
Yeah.
- Take me with you.
- [Woman] Okay.
- Yeah.
Yeah.
- We're going.
- Yeah, yeah.
Both of you, you stay until
I finish with the doctor.
And first of all, have a
serious chat with my son.
Come on.
- Hey, hey.
Go.
(door thudding)
- Is he okay?
- Yeah, of course.
You see, I have to sort
something out here.
You take the costume and
have fun, enjoy the evening,
and come back when you're done.
One minute.
(footsteps tapping)
- What's the matter
with your son?
- He's ill you see?
- You mean mentally?
- He's depraved.
- If he's ill then
he needs help.
- Of course, and I
will take care of it.
- Promise me you're not doing
anything to harm your son.
- I promise.
I will get some medical advice.
But now I have a serious chat
with the ladies downstairs.
(door thudding)
Have fun.

- You're sure this is right?
- Definitely.
Tell you what, I'm gonna
give you a hundred euros now
to wait over there
until I get back.
- [Driver] How
long will that be?
- I don't know, maybe five
minutes, maybe an hour.
I'll give you another a
hundred if you're still here.
- Okay.

- Why so lonely?
Let's dance.
(dramatic music)
(woman singing in

- Did she send you
here to check me out?
(woman singing in

(dramatic music)
- Just let me have
him for two minutes,
then it's your yours
until the morning.
Let's go someplace else.
(dramatic music)
(woman singing in

(footsteps tapping)
Do not ask.
Leave before it's too late.
And it can be too
late at any moment.
- Who are you?
- It doesn't matter.
Make sure no one follows you.
Or there will be no
more peace for you.
Go.
- Will I see you again?
- Impossible.
- Then I'm staying.
- Leave.
- This is all part of
the game, isn't it?
It's a test.
- You don't know what this is.
My life is in danger
as much as yours.
- Or is this the punishment
for someone without
an invitation?
- There is only
one penalty here.
For the last time, go.
(dramatic music)
- Come with me.
- You are crazy, I
cannot go with you.
(dramatic music)
- [Guest] May I ask
a lady to dance?
(dramatic music)
- [Jakob Voiceover] Who
the fuck are these people?
(dramatic music)
This all has to be
some kind of show.
(dramatic music)
(footsteps tapping)
- Password.
- Verde.
- Follow me.
(footsteps tapping)
(dramatic music)
(footsteps tapping)
- The password.
- Verde.
- Won't you do us the
courtesy of telling us
the password for the house?
- For the house?
- You've given us the
password for the entrance.
Now give us the
password for the house.
- I seem to have forgotten it.
- That's unfortunate.
Because it doesn't matter
whether you forgotten it
or never knew it, same
punishment applies.
- Take off your mask.
- Take off your mask.
- Take off your mask.
- Take off your mask.
- Take off your mask.
- Stop.
If I have insulted any of
you with my presence here,
I offer my sincerest apologies.
- Take of your mask.
You will be told to your
face what your punishment is.
- Don't touch me.
Get off me.
(dramatic music)
- Let him go.
I'm ready to sacrifice
myself for him.
(dramatic music)
- Do you know the consequences?
- I do.
(footsteps tapping)
- So be it.
You are free to go.
- Sacrifice, what do
you mean sacrifice?
- She must sacrifice
her own life.
- What?
Come on, what is this?
No one is sacrificing
themselves on my behalf.
- Once a promise has been made
here, there's no going back
and there's nothing you can do
to alter the fate of this woman.
(Jakob laughing)
- Okay.
Okay, fine, I'm scared.
You taught me a lesson.
But enough with
this carnival farce.
Tell you man up
there to let her go.
- The decision has been made.
You can now leave
this house unharmed.
- Fuck you, this is crazy.
I'll call the police.
- Beware,
you would per without saving me.
Now go.
Here I am, you can have me.
- Stop.
No.
Get off me.
What did he do with her?
(dramatic music)
(car engine revving)
Stop the car.

you do us the courtesy

There's my trigger light
As a sex show,
as Lee Brad oh
Nothing on our lips
Make a rad miss
It's electric
Beware what you wish
It comes back to bite you
For taking the risk
and playing with voodoo
The priestess arrives
As dark as the night
Beneath the bitter
Berlin lights
He still will decide
Like a a bit paranoid
In his fever-filled dreams
Nothing's quite as it seems
So conflicted he slides
Between hell and paradise
He's ill with desire
(keys jingling)
Ill with desire
He's ill with desire

- Hey, hey, hey,
shh, shh, it's me.
You were dreaming.
(gentle music)
- What time is it?
- Just pass five.
- Just past five.
Did you only just get home?
- Mm.
- Bollinger died.
- No.
- We had to stay.
- I have such crazy dreams.
(Amelia sighing)
- What about?
- I can't say exactly.
You must be so tired.
(gentle music)
- Well.
- What do you mean, well?
- The dream
- My dream?
Hmm.
We were at hotel in Denmark
and all at once, you were
standing in front of the window.
You embraced me
and you were so much in love.
(gentle music)
- You too, I hope.
- Even more so.
In spite of our
love, we were sad
as if we had some
kind of premonition.
(gentle music)
(Amelia sighing)
- [Amelia Voiceover]
We stood outside
and the mist swirled around us.
There was a lake and a
mountain scape before us.
(gentle music)
Suddenly it was mourning.
We both wanted to
go back into town,
but my clothes were gone.
Then I ran content and naked
around the meadow and sang.
And my voice sounded
so wonderful.
I wished people could
hear me down in the town.
I couldn't see the
village from where I was,
but I could sense it,
it wasn't Asian or
German, but somehow both.
(gentle music)
Out of the forest came a young
man in a light, modern suit.
He looked like the Danish
man I told you about.
(gentle music)
At the same time you
were in the sunken city,
going from house to
house, store to store
in a type of Turkish bizarre.
And you bought me the most
beautiful things you could find.
(gentle music)
Suddenly I was no longer in
the clearing by the woods,
but on an endless
flower filled meadow
that faded into the
horizon on all sides.
Along with the
Danish man and me,
there were three or 10 or
thousand other couples.
(gentle music)
It felt like endless
freedom, happiness.
(dramatic music)
- I saw you.
And you were ceased by soldiers.
And there were priests there
and a huge man
bound your wrists.
And I knew you were
going to be executed.
(dramatic music)
A young woman
appeared on a balcony,
she was the ruler of the land.
She looked down at you with a
severe questioning expression.
- [Woman Voiceover]
Telling us the password.
- You stood alone
surrounded by people.
I heard their murmuring
and their whispering.
The princess leaned over
the railing, it fell silent.
And she gave you a sign
as if ordering you
to come up to her.
And I knew she was
going to pardon you.
(gentle music)
But you didn't notice her sign
or you didn't want to notice it.
(gentle music)
With your hands still bound
and wrapped in black rope,
you stood in front
of her in a courtroom
and she held a sheet of
parchment, your death penalty.
She asked you to
become her husband
and the death sentence
would be lifted.
But you shook your head.
And I wasn't surprised,
because how could
it be any other way
than you having to remain
loyal to me for all eternity.
But then you were
in a torture chamber
with whipping blows
raining down on your back.
(dramatic music)
The princess approached you
and all that covered her
perfect and naked body
was her long hair.
And then I knew she was
the girl from the club.
She didn't say a word but wanted
you to become her husband.
And you again said no.
Suddenly she disappeared.
And I saw them putting
up a cross for you.
Your body was covered in welts.
(dramatic music)
I waited for you with
anticipation but no compassion.
An immense incomprehensible
distance laid between us.
(dramatic music)
And then you smiled at me,
as if to give me a sign
that you had fulfilled my wish.
And I found it
stupid and senseless
and wanted to laugh at you.
Because out of loyalty to me,
you had endured such torture
and didn't marry the princess.
(dramatic music)
So, I wanted you to
hear my laughter,
as they nailed
you to your cross.
(dramatic music)
And that was the
laughter that woke me up.
Then I knew you would
never cheat on me.
(dramatic music)
(vehicle engines revving)
(Jakob knocking)
(woman speaking in

- Deutsch, English?
(woman speaking in

I know you're not open yet.
I'm looking for my
friend Nick Nachtigall.
(woman speaking in

Yes, Nick.
- [Woman] Yeah.
- Hotel.
Do you know what hotel he's in?
- Hotel, yes.
- Hotel.
(vehicle engines revving)
Where?
- Hotel.
- Ah.
- Hotel.
- Okay, thank you.
(woman speaking in

(vehicle engines revving)
(footsteps tapping)
(telephone ringing)
- Good morning,
I'd like to speak to my
friend Nick Nachtigall,
he's a guest here.
- He's in demand, your friend.
- Really?
- You're not going
to hurt him, are you?
- What, no?
Why would you say that?
- He came here at 5:30 a.m
with two guys in suits.
- Who were they?
- They didn't say.
They arrived in a SUV.
- And what did
they do with them?
- It was unreal.
They were wearing carnival masks
and your friend looked to
be in a really bad way.
- In a bad way, how so?
- They'd clearly just
given him a good beating.
And while your
friend went upstairs,
one of them paid
the bill in cash.
- Did you call the police?
- No.
- Then what happened?
- He came down with a suitcase
and they all sped off.
- He didn't leave a number
or anything, did he?
(vehicle engines revving)
Thank you.
(footsteps tapping)
(dramatic music)
(vehicle engines revving)
(Jakob knocking)
- Yoo hoo.
Ha, ha, you again.
What a lovely day.
- I came to return the costume
and to pay for it, of course.
- Ah, did it do the trick?
- Yes it did, thanks.
- Yeah, it's 50 for the
mask, 20 for the cloak,
a little bit extra
for the night fee
and VAT makes 130 euros.
Sorry, you can't
come inside right now
because of a little
bit of a sort out.
- What happened last night?
- What do you mean?
- With your son.
- What about my son?
- You're not going to
consult a doctor, are you?
- Like you, for example.
- I didn't say that.
- Yeah.
- And you didn't
call the police.
- Of course not.
But we found a much
better arrangement.
And now enjoy the day.

- Dr. Friedman,
Dr. Wolfenstein says hello.
Mrs. Torrens has to cancel
her 12 o'clock appointment
and there's a bed
available for Mr. Gilarge
at the Ludevic Hall.
- Can I see his file please?
- Sure.
(footsteps tapping)
Should I confirm the appointment
with the tax advisor,
today for 2:00 p.m?
- Yes, thank you.
(footsteps tapping)
(gentle upbeat music)
(cellphone ringing)
(footsteps tapping)
- Yes.
- Hey, I just wanted
to hear your voice.
- [Henny] Is it Daddy?
- Yes, darling.
- Let me speak.
Hi Daddy.
We're going to the opera
tomorrow evening, aren't we?
- Yes, we are, sweetie.
Can you put Mommy back on?
- We need to do some shopping
or should we order online?
- Here I am, you can have me.
- [Jakob Voiceover] No.
- Yes, do that.
I have a few more
appointments today,
but I'll try to be
home for dinner.
- Okay.
Have a great day.
- You too.
- Frau Veidt,
cancel my appointments
for today.
Something's come up.
- [Veidt] Oh.
Yes, okay.

happened to that woman?

No one is going to believe this.

- Good morning, Doctor.
- Morning Professor Roediger.
I came by to see how
Marianne's holding up.
- In view of the circumstances,
I would say we're
doing all right.
- I wrote her a
prescription last night
and apparently I forgot
to give it to her.
- Oh, well my fiance
is now on a train
to my mother's in Bremen.
Her father's funeral is taking
place the day after tomorrow
and we plan to move there now.
- Wow, it's all
happening very fast.
- Yes it is.
I just sorted out the
moving service today
and tomorrow I'll
be joining her.
- Well then, please give
my regards to Marianne
and I wish you the best of luck
for your new lives together.
- Thank you.
I'll pass on the message.
Goodbye.

- A new life in a new city.
I've read stories of people
who suddenly disappeared
from their regular
everyday lives
and resurface
somewhere overseas,
where they begin a new life
as a completely
different person.
And to then return after years,
unable to remember where who
they were for all that time.
Like waking from a dream.
And all that remains
is a mysterious aura,
a numbness that stays with you.
And you're left
wondering if you actually
experienced that feeling
or if you only dreamed it.
(gentle music)
Only dreamed it.
(dramatic music)
(vehicle engines revving)
(footsteps crunching)
(door buzzing)
(gentle upbeat music)
- Welcome, Sir.
I'm Lady Mina.
- Good afternoon, I'd
like to see Mizzi.
- Mizzi's not here, I'm afraid.
- When will she be back?
- Could I perhaps introduce
you to Bella and Nina?
They also offer duets.
- Where is Mizzi?
(Lady Mina speaking
in foreign language)
Is there a problem?
- Ms. Mizzi no
longer works here.
Now, I must ask you to
leave my establishment.
- What's going on here?
- You mean, it's
escaped your notice.
Our premises are fitted
with surveillance cameras.
Anyone coming in
and out is recorded.
(dramatic music)
A straightforward security
precaution, of course.

- What's your poison, sweetie?
- Do we know each other?
- I get that a lot.
I also work at the Nachtclub.
(people chattering)
- So you know Nick,
Nick Nachtigall?
- Never heard of him.
What can I get you?
- I'll have the omelet
and an espresso please.
- [Waiter] On the way.
(people chattering)
(upbeat music)
Omelet is on it's way.
- I changed my mind, sorry,
I'll just have the coffee.

- Sorry, you just
remind me of someone.
- Oh.
(receptionist laughing)
- I'm a doctor.
- Have you got a
patient here with us?
- Yes, I'm Natasha
Debushka's health doctor.
- The prostitute?
- Yes, that's right.
- My colleague from
the early shift
told me that she was
brought here this morning
just before 6:00 a.m
by two strange men.
- Strange men?
- Yeah.
It was all a bit strange.
The two men disappeared
without saying anything
and just left her here.
(announcer people
speaking indistinctly)
It was probably some sex thing.
(keyboard keys clacking)
- Can you tell me
where she is now?
- Sure.
(keyboard keys clacking)
Oh, it says here that she died,
about an hour ago.
- She died?
- I'm sorry.
(dramatic music)
(man coughing)
- No one can help you now.

if hope has flown away,

"is that therefore
the less gone."

"All that we see or seem.
"Is but a dream within a dream."
"A dream within a dream."
Dead?
Was she the woman who
sacrificed herself for me?

(Jakob crying)
I'll tell you everything.
(gentle music)
(vehicle engines revving)
What do we do now, Amelia?
- Be grateful, I guess.
(gentle music)
- For what, exactly?
- That we're awake.
(gentle music)
So nail me to
the cutest tree
(upbeat music)
Baby I know you
and you know me
(upbeat music)
Then drape the night
around your shoulders
(upbeat music)
I will be your heat
when you grow colder
So high
Like Spanish fly
So sweet
And so divine
(upbeat music)
Like Spanish fly
(upbeat music)
So let your
greediness unfold
(upbeat music)
So unconstrained
and uncontrolled
(upbeat music)
Yeah
So high
Like Spanish fly
So careless
As she leaves me dry
We're feeling high
Oh no we're so high
(upbeat music)
So high
Like Spanish fly
So greedy
She spreads like fire
Electrifies like Spanish fly
Such a loaded dice
Under perfect skies
Like Spanish fly
(upbeat music)
(all applauding)
- Woo, woo.
