Where's Wanda? (2024) s02e04 Episode Script

1
[gentle music plays]
[Ole] Some people think
that if you can't hear as well as others,
it's a disability.
I see it differently.
I believe it actually sharpens
your other senses.
Just like Spider-Man.
And one of the things you learn to detect
is when something's off with someone.
Still nothing about the shipment?
Nothing.
Either they don't know anything,
or they're very good at pretending.
[George] Mmh.
[tense music playing]
[Ole] The problem with people who can hear
is that they don't really listen.
How are you today?
Is it okay if I stop by later?
I miss you
When are you going to deliver?
[Ole] To really listen is different.
It's about much more than just words.
It's about a look on a person's face.
It's about how people breathe.
It's about what's happening in their eyes.
[phone buzzes]
Have you told anyone about our meeting?
No.
Good. When will you next speak with W?
We're visiting her today.
[Ole] Words communicate
what people want to tell you.
[sighs]
Everything else gives away
what they're trying to hide.
["Mania", Alice Merton]
THURSDAY
[guard] Go ahead.
Stop.
Keep going.
- [guard] Distance.
- Wanda.
- Oh, God.
- Don't… Don't freak out.
[Carlotta pants]
- Wanda, what happened to your face?
- It's not as bad as it looks, I swear.
Okay, I had an encounter in the cafeteria.
But it was basically a misunderstanding.
Two inmates kind of worked me over.
Worked you over?
We must talk to the warden
and get you transferred
- somewhere safer.
- Mom.
Absolutely not! No!
That'll just make things worse for me.
- You're in danger.
- I'm handling everything.
Listen. We don't wanna
make things worse for you.
- We're just worried, okay?
- Yeah.
They said someone hired them.
I don't know who.
But they were looking
for some kind of tracker.
They were saying I supposedly stole it
from Katarina Vinson.
- [Dedo] A tracker? What for?
- [mouthing]
God. Do you think…
Do you think maybe, um…
Huh? What?
Somebody broke into our house
and went through your room.
What? Uh, but are you okay?
- And Ole?
- [Dedo] Yeah.
We're fine. Don't worry about us.
We're not locked up in here.
We're concerned about you.
I'm so sorry that I've dragged you all
into another mess. I…
- [Dedo] It's not your fault.
- It's true, honey.
You can't blame yourself for any of this.
We're in this together,
and we'll get through it together.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- [phone chimes]
- [sighs]
[phone chimes]
All right. I spoke with W,
she was jumped in prison.
The attackers say
she stole something from KV.
Did she say what exactly?
Some kind of tracker.
Let's meet in person.
[gasps]
- Done. Mom is on the visitor's list.
- [gasps]
Oh. Great.
- Everything all right?
- Yeah.
[breathes heavily]
Have you gotten our stuff back yet?
The clock is ticking…
When are you finally going to deliver?
[student] Give me my pen back, Andreas!
- Alex.
- Leave me alone.
I know you're mad. But so am I.
You're mad? Ole, come on, leave me alone.
Kimi threatened me.
He said that if I didn't do the job,
then Wanda would get hurt.
- Tell him hi and good luck. Get lost.
- Alex, seriously, man, it's important.
- I said leave me alone.
- Hear me out.
I said leave me alone!
- [student 1] What are you doing?
- [student 2] What's wrong with you?
[student 3] Hey. Are you all right?
[melancholy music playing]
[panting]
[grunts]
[principal] Thank you all so much
for coming today.
I know this isn't exactly an easy time
for anyone involved,
but we wanted to get this sorted out
as soon as possible.
Alex, is there anything
you'd like to tell Ole?
Alex.
It was an accident.
As you know, our school has
zero tolerance for any kind of violence.
Really, it wasn't so bad.
Ms. Krüger, I'm sure
Alex is very sorry about this.
[Alex] I can speak for myself, thanks.
[Jonas] Alex, please.
What? And you're just sitting here.
Why are you just sitting here?
Mom is dead
because of their psycho daughter!
Hey, hey. Mmh.
Why don't you say something?
[principal] Alex. Alex?
Enough.
I've discussed this with the faculty,
and we'd like to suggest
you take a leave of absence until break.
You're kicking me out of school now?
It's not an expulsion, just a leave.
I think it would be best for you
to have time to grieve
and be with your family.
Alex, wait.
[footsteps departing]
[door opens, closes]
[sighs]
[sighs]
- Dedo. Carlotta.
- [car door closes]
Jonas.
I'm sorry about all that.
No, please don't apologize.
We can't even begin to imagine
what you're going through.
And we hope this didn't make things worse.
It's all right, yeah.
A little break will do him some good.
[sighs]
There's a memorial for Katarina tomorrow.
So people can pay their respects.
I just wanted to say
that you're both welcome.
If you'd like to come, that is.
- [Dedo] Oh?
- [Carlotta] Um…
- Yeah, that's really nice, but, um…
- Um…
Honestly, well, we all know what
everyone in town thinks of us right now.
Well, she was your friend too.
I'm sorry. God.
I have absolutely no idea
how to do any of this.
I feel like I'm going about it all wrong.
But our families
are kind of connected, interwoven.
Right. Anyway…
Um, bringing people together
was all Katarina ever wanted.
Yeah. "Better Together."
- [Carlotta chuckles]
- Right?
- [Dedo] Uh, yeah.
- [Carlotta] Yeah.
Better together.
[horn honks]
Yeah. I, um…
Yeah.
- [car door opens, closes]
- [car engine starts]
[tires screech]
[footsteps approaching]
Do you have a second?
I don't know.
It's pretty nuts here, as you can see.
In Katarina Vinson's file,
there's only one cell phone listed, right?
One moment.
Vinson…
That's right. One cell phone.
Number ending in 044.
She had a second cell?
Mh-hm.
But where would it be now?
That's the million-dollar question.
Let me summarize. Marjatta was a bust.
Eye patch guy, a bust.
So I've been thinking, up until now,
we've been chasing
the "Katarina was King" angle.
What did that get us?
Nada. Niente. A whole lot of nothing.
So I suggest we start completely over.
I'm in!
Who murdered Katarina Vinson?
Okay. And how?
From now on, we'll be focusing on
"Katarina was the mayor."
And the best place to start is… here.
[Rüdiger] Showtime!
[suspenseful music playing]
CITY HALL
RECEPTION
CITY OF SUNDERSHEIM
Hello, Carola.
Hey. I'm Rocco from IT.
We've received a report that there are
worms running rampant in your system.
- Worms?
- Yeah.
Blaster Worms, Slammer Worms,
Trojan Worms, the whole shebang.
Yeah. They used the LAN
to get into your system.
[sighs]
[Rüdiger] They just hop
from computer to computer.
People think it can't happen to them,
until it does.
[suspenseful music continues]
[Rüdiger keeps speaking indistinctly]
[Dedo gasps]
[he breathes shakily]
- [exhales]
- [knocks on door]
- Open up, before someone sees me.
- [Rüdiger laughs]
[Rüdiger] Nobody listens
until they lose their precious files.
You know how it is.
[Carola] Well, we have
a fairly robust internal firewall
and a strict update protocol
for our own anti-malware software.
Wow. You're a real cyber security expert.
[Dedo whispers] Password.
- How about the kids' names? Try that.
- Yeah.
- [scoffs] Lucie.
- Ah.
No.
- Alex.
- Exactly.
INCORRECT PASSWORD
We only have one more attempt.
B3tt3rT0g3th3r!
Oh. Hm.
Okay.
Better…
[computer chimes]
Yes!
- [Carlotta gasps]
- [Rüdiger] Oh! Oh, wow!
Look at you! That's you right there!
[Carola] Yeah. That's, um, me and Baxter.
- Okay.
- [Rüdiger] Dogs are great, huh?
- Love dogs. Love 'em.
- Okay, okay, okay.
There are thousands of emails.
I don't even know where to start.
Wait a minute.
STALKING EVIDENCE
[Dedo] Look at this.
[Carlotta] Oh. "What this town needs is
real leadership, not some token bitch."
Oh, there's hundreds of these.
Check this out.
Looks like she's officially
filed a complaint against him.
[both] "We take every report
of harassment seriously.
After a thorough investigation,
we have decided
to terminate G.B.'s employment
with the security team,
effective immediately."
Good morning. Sundersheim CID.
[knocks on door]
Where would I find
Katarina Vinson's office?
- [Carola] Straight ahead on the right.
- [both gasp]
[tense music playing]
[door closes]
I thought she said this was not her case.
So, what is she doing here?
[phone buzzing]
Inspector Rauch.
Rauch, it's Schmidt.
Where the hell are you?
Um, I'm at the doctor's. Why?
Listen. A new witness has come forward,
and I want you to conduct the interview.
A female named Astrid Goldammer.
- Rauch?
- Uh, yes. Just send me the address.
- [Rüdiger] Katarina Vinson had a stalker?
- G, period, B, period.
He used to work as a security guard
at City Hall. Katarina had him fired.
Oh. Then that must have been the guy that
she was scared of at the Pumpkin Festival.
That could be something, right?
Günther Begemann.
Who's Günther Begemann?
I don't know. I'm just looking
for names that might work.
I don't think it makes sense for us
to try to guess his name yet.
He worked security.
Could be a starting point.
I know this dude
who used to work as a bouncer
at The Captain when it was party central.
And he told me there's a biker hangout
out on Schinderweg
where the bouncers, guards and security
personnel meet and… [whistles]
What kind of tea party is this?
Well, I just put fresh sheets on the beds.
I did the laundry too.
It just needs hanging up now.
But it will dry in no time out in the sun.
Mom, no need to do all this.
- We can do our laundry ourselves.
- I know.
- Dedo, your mom just wants to help.
- I know, but she shouldn't.
- [Inga chuckles]
- Uh, Carlotta, we have to go.
[Carlotta] I'll get my purse.
- Dedo? I…
- [Carlotta] Why don't you get in the car?
Maybe you'll have some time after that
so we can talk? Just the two of us?
Um, yeah. Um, not today.
I already made plans.
Uh… Tomorrow maybe?
Hm, yeah. Uh, maybe, yeah. Uh…
Carlotta! We gotta go!
See you.
- Is Astrid joining us?
- Yes, she's in the car.
I wanted to give you a heads-up
before you question her.
Astrid hasn't been the same
since the incident.
I saged her room three times already,
but that made it…
If Astrid was backstage
when Katarina Vinson was murdered,
I'd like to talk to her directly.
Okay. Please be really gentle, all right?
So, Astrid, this is the lady
from the police.
She wants to talk to you. And you be
a good girl, a very good girl, okay?
[people laughing, chattering]
So, how did it go, dear colleague?
Valuable witness?
I hope… I hope it was a howling success.
[chuckles] Oh, oh. I heard the witness
was hounding you and went doggone crazy.
[people laugh]
Oh, come on, that was good.
It's just like kindergarten.
Don't let it get to you.
It's okay. I'll just put a stimulant
laxative in his protein powder.
- [sighs]
- How did it go at City Hall?
I found the hiding spot,
but no cell phone.
She must have had it with her
at the Pumpkin Festival.
Maybe she hid it somewhere else
or even lost it.
Unfortunately I have more bad news.
I looked into Woden AG.
It's just a shell company.
It belongs to another shell company
which is owned
by yet another shell company.
The whole thing
is a long, winding road to nowhere.
- I'm sorry.
- [sighs]
DUMAS
THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO
[Romy] Klatt! I'm talking to you!
[Sal] Yo, Klatt!
Reading a book? What you doin'?
Yo.
[Sal] Hello. [chuckles]
[Becca] So, what does it say
in your friendship book?
[Sal] Should I write in it?
- I'd like to go to my cell.
- Okay.
[inmates chattering]
Go ahead.
Stop.
Go on.
Can we write in your princess book?
Pretty please?
Come on. Collecting signatures in there?
"Have a great summer"? All that?
Stop.
- [scanner beeps]
- [door buzzes]
Go ahead.
Stop.
Keep going.
Stop.
Go ahead.
Stop.
Go on.
- [scanner beeps]
- [door buzzes]
Go ahead.
Uh… I, uh, I have to use the bathroom.
Sure.
- [scanner beeps]
- [door buzzes]
Go ahead.
SANITARY AREA 01
RUNNING PROHIBITED
YOU MUST STRICTLY COMPLY.
[screams] No! Please! No!
Why are you following me? Huh?
- [grunts, yells, screams]
- Oh!
- Give it a rest!
- [yells]
- [screams]
- Be quiet.
Ah, ah, ah. No. Don't do that.
- You hit me in the tit, bitch!
- I'm so sorry.
Man!
Why… Why did you help me
in the cafeteria?
'Cause I felt sorry for you.
They would have kicked your ass out there.
[panting]
But don't go thinking
I'm your babysitter here.
Shit.
Okay, seriously, now,
if you wanna survive in here,
you've gotta learn
to look out for yourself.
Well, can't you just look out for me
or something?
[chuckles]
[sighs]
Why should I?
I was hoping I could find a way
to be of help to you.
[Brauer scoffs]
Doing what?
- Accounting?
- [laughs]
I can clean your cell.
- You can have my lunch every day.
- [sighs]
I'm a good reader.
- We could go through your files together.
- Yeah, thanks. I can read my own files.
Or do you think I'm too dumb to read?
No. No. Of course not.
I just thought
two eyes are better than one.
- Four. Four see more than two…
- Okay, stop. Hey.
I don't need a lawyer.
I don't need a secretary.
Nor a cook. Nor a cleaning lady.
And I certainly don't need
a friggin' pet. That clear?
But there's gotta be something
I can do for you.
[sighs]
[sighs]
There's only one thing I want.
Yeah?
I want out.
Wha… What?
[sighs]
I'm about to be transferred
to a higher security joint.
Fewer privileges, fewer yard breaks.
More sick people, more psychos.
If you manage
to get me out of here before then,
I'll see to it that you're treated
like a queen around here.
If not, I have zero interest.
- So I'd break you out?
- Mh-hm.
[sighs]
[Brauer chuckles] Forget it.
Tell your father I said hi.
[banging on door]
[sighs]
[clicks tongue]
We're waiting…
Do you think you can just ignore me?
When are you finally going to deliver?
[door opens]
Hey, man.
Thanks for coming.
All good.
Is Wanda okay?
You sounded pretty stressed on the phone.
Alex seriously messed up.
Okay…
He promised to drop off a backpack
with something inside of it.
- For your cousin Lukas in prison.
- He did what?
I know, and there was this guy,
and he was on a bike,
and he crushed a bag of chips.
- And he was threatening me, like…
- Wait. I don't understand a thing.
Just take it from the top, okay?
[Alex] Okay. Drop-off in half a mile.
Wait a minute. Isn't that the prison?
Shift change should be in 14 minutes.
Are you serious?
I'm not dropping a backpack at a prison.
- Are you nuts? What if we get caught?
- [sighs]
Ole, we won't.
- That's what's…
- That's illegal.
Yeah, of course it's illegal.
Why do you think
they're paying us this much?
Yeah, but who do you even know in pri…
Uh, no way. You're not serious.
[sighs]
Ole.
He texted me out of the blue.
He said Chris isn't talking to him,
and he needs this one favor.
- Hm?
- It's Lukas Novak.
He tried to kill my family.
Yeah, that's why I didn't tell you.
Come on.
Listen, we're going to drop this backpack,
we collect the dough,
and then we can travel all summer long.
- We're the winners here.
- No.
- I'm flying it back.
- Don't be stupid.
I'm not helping that psycho.
- Ole, don't be a baby.
- No.
Forget it.
- Alex, you lied to me.
- I didn't lie. You just didn't ask.
- [people screaming in distance]
- Huh?
[phone ringing]
Lucie?
What? I-I can't hear you. It's way too…
What about Mom?
Lucie?
[bleeps]
Wait, Alex!
I have to take care of it this week.
Otherwise Lukas will have Wanda hurt.
Where's the backpack?
[sighs]
Escape plan
[banging on door]
[guard] Cell inspection.
Stand next to the bed, face to the wall.
[breathing heavily]
Up against the wall.
[clattering]
[pounding]
Dumas.
[pages flicking]
S… Sick photo.
Yeah, uh, I… I know, it's a bit silly.
Nah, I think it looks cool.
Is that a key card?
Why do you ask?
Just because, hm, like…
Since Parker's is a different color.
Does it mean anything?
- Does she outrank you?
- Parker doesn't outrank me.
We have the exact same rank,
and the cards are the same.
Sorry.
[footsteps departing]
- [door closes]
- [lock clicks]
[chattering]
- Mornin', fellas.
- [biker] Morning.
- Hey, chef.
- Howdy.
- I'll take one of those bratwursts.
- What kind of sauce?
You know, just surprise me.
Chef.
I'm looking for some, uh, muscle.
You know what I mean?
The bouncer type.
You mean security guys?
Yeah, one who might have worked
at City Hall?
Ralf?
This guy's looking for someone
who's done security at City Hall.
- At City Hall?
- [chef] Yeah.
Who wants to know?
- Uh…
- [chef] Our golden girl here.
I, uh… I was… I was just wondering
if you knew anyone
who used to work City Hall.
Uh, initials G.B., to be exact.
[inhales deeply]
You with the police?
[laughs] Me? Police? No. So…
If you're not with the police,
why are you looking for the guy?
[grunts, coughs]
[clears throat]
I'm with
the lost and found office. [hiccups]
And someone left a jacket there
with the initials G.B. Why I'm here.
Chef, do you have any milk or something?
- [Ralf] Let's see what we can do for you.
- [coughs]
So, Gerd.
No. Gregor… He's retired.
Günther Begemann.
No, he's in Spain. Nonsense.
- Mmh…
- Günther Begemann?
Gus Bremen. Yeah.
He worked at City Hall once.
- [Rüdiger] Gus Bremen?
- He got kicked out. Got into trouble.
I haven't seen him in a while,
now that I think about it.
[phone ringing]
Rauch.
Hello, Miss Rauch.
This is Hester, from earlier.
I have some good news.
You'll find this interesting.
So I came back from the vet,
and he says Astrid didn't have
post-traumatic stress disorder after all,
but an intestinal obstruction.
Thanks for letting me know.
Yeah, just imagine!
She swallowed a cell phone!
No wonder she's been snappy.
Uh, what?
Like, I mean, just imagine
having a cell phone in your rectum
for a whole week.
- A cell phone.
- She just never learns.
I once took her to the hospital
because she ate a whole meditation candle.
Sure, her karma was great,
but I was the one stuck dealing with it.
Stay where you are. I'm coming right away.
- Hello.
- [Inga] Ah!
It's great to have you all here.
Just in time for happy hour.
Hey, we need to celebrate. Come here.
[Inga laughs] We need it. Come on.
What's that?
Oh. Gus Bremen's phone number.
Who is Gus Bremen?
- Gus Bremen? G.B.
- Mmh. Mh-hm. Mh-hm.
Dedo, your mom wants me
to do shots with her.
Rüdiger found our guy.
- Gus Bremen. That's his number.
- What?
You didn't think I could!
Did you call already?
No, I haven't called yet. I have to…
Let's do it now, then.
- Hm, hm, hm, hm, hm. There.
- [Dedo] Okay.
- The number you've dialed is not
available. - Too good to be true.
Wait a minute.
- What are you doing?
- Looking for Gus Bremen on the Internet.
There can't be more than one
Gus Bremen in Sundersheim.
- Don't you think?
- No. Hm-hm.
What are you looking at?
- Um, uh, stock prices.
- Cat videos.
- Right, yeah.
- Come on! Another round?
- Yeah!
- Another round, yes.
- Would you like one?
- Uh, later, Inga. Later.
- Look. I recognize those houses.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They're the town houses
by the power plant.
Yeah.
You think he lives there?
I suppose there's only one way
to find out.
[eerie, suspenseful music playing]
[Ole] Okay.
So, it must have landed
somewhere in this area.
BACKPACK
60.1 M AHEAD
I have a signal here.
[Chris] Have you seen your sister?
[Ole] Yeah. We went to see her
in prison today.
[Chris] Mh-hm. How was that?
Weird.
But… she's doing all right.
She is pretty tough. You know?
Hm. Yeah, I know.
Ole.
Dude.
[Carlotta] It has to be one of those.
- [Dedo] Yeah, here. Look.
- The power plant.
- [Dedo] The garage.
- The trash cans.
- You can move the trash cans…
- Here, the hedges.
- You can see those.
- Look.
- That's the tree.
- [resident] Hey!
Why are you sneaking
around my house, taking photos?
[Carlotta chuckles]
We're not taking photos. We…
We wanted… We're… a bit lost, is all.
[chuckles] Yeah.
So, um, actually, we're looking
for an old friend of mine from school.
His name is Gus. Gus Bremen.
Gus doesn't live here anymore.
Right now, he's staying out in the woods
in some camper with an ugly wolf on it.
Wait a minute.
Did I hear you say wolf just now?
- Black, wolf, glove.
- 'Cause… Yeah.
But I'd recommend you stay away from him.
That man has some major issues.
He's toxic.
He's sick in the head.
[phone beeps]
- There it is.
- [Chris] Ole?
Ole, wait.
[unsettling music playing]
[resident] He's literally the last person
you'd want to run into.
[grunts]
- [Ole] Uh…
- Ole?
Run. Run.
[Gus] Hey!
[Chris] Run!
[yells]
[intense music playing]
[grunting]
[music ends]
[eerie music playing]
