I'm going to draw a nice hot bath for you, all right?
Carla, I'm afraid I can't come up with you tonight
Why not?
Lisa is... all torn up because of her break up with Andi, and I have to be attentive to her
I understand
Can you actually still drive? You're really tired.
Oh, sure, I'll be fine. I really have to get to Lisa.
Well then, go for it, you hover mother. I hope I'M not that way once the baby's here.
It could happen
All right,... then go, and call me when you get there. I don't wanna have to be worrying about you all night.
Is that all I get?
This situation with Lisa seems to have really afflicted you
== Or is it something else? == No. No, there's really nothing!
I'm just tired
All right. Drive carefully. Bye.
Bye
== Lars, what are you doing there? == I'm... uh... helping out.
== Uh, am I getting another ale sometime today? == Oh, of course, sorry! Coming right away.
Shit!
== I'll clean the tables. == Uh, what, you...you...you're going to help me?
Don't ask questions. Serve!
Oh
== Sorry, I totally spaced about my shift! == Well, finally.
== But now I can take over again. == Here. == Then go for it.
== Table 4. == Thank you.
== We aren't needed here anymore. == No.
== But as long as you're still manning the fountain, can you give me some water? == Yeah, sure.
Thanks for helping me
Here
== I have to go. == Wait!
Susanne, we...
Lars, not now and not here
But the kiss wasn't just some one-off thing, at least not for me! And I don't believe it was for you either.
I was longing for closeness. I'm sorry if I took advantage of your feelings.
But I love Carla! And ONLY Carla.
I think you're deceiving yourself
== Who's deceiving whom here? Hello. == Hello.
Uh, I was just telling Lars that I've gotten much better at inline skating. Much better than you even!
== Right. == I hardly think so. At the moment, perhaps. But otherwise?
You see? And Lars thinks the same thing.
When can I finally take this thing off?!
Just a minute. So...
What have I done to deserve this?
I've given some thought to last night
'Last night'? What do you mean?
I know why you went home
Ach...
I've been under so much stress lately, a few things have fallen through the cracks
== Oh it's nothing. == It's no wonder if you think I'm neglecting you.
== No, I really mean it. It's all right. == It's not. I want you to know how much I love you.
Which is why I've taken the whole day off today...
== ... and am going to treat you to whatever your heart des-- == No.
You aren't happy about that?
Carla, I have to tell you something
Lars and I kissed each other
You did what?!
It was a fluke situation
Paul had just left for France, and only one day before I'd thought he was going to be staying here, and I--
== And so you thought if you kissed Lars, then everything would be okay again. == I DIDN'T kiss him!
== Did he kiss YOU? == No!
Somehow it stemmed from both of us
And? Did you enjoy it?
== What? == What do you mean 'what'! His kissing you! Did you feel anything?!
Of course not! What do you think?
I have no idea WHAT I'm supposed to think
I felt so abandoned! Paul had just left, and you had no time on account of all your meetings...
== And all I felt like doing was crying! == Don't you think I felt guilty, too, because I wasn't able to be there for you?!
Lars was trying to cheer me up. We went for a walk, we... we ate waffle cones.
It was just a one-time thing
I promise you, it won't ever happen again
I believe we're going to have to finish talking another time. I have something I urgently need to take care of for the auction.
You're mad at me now
'Mad' isn't the right word
I can understand that. If things were turned around, I'd feel the same way.
But I can't leave now without getting an honest answer from you. Otherwise I won't be able to stand it.
Will you be able to forgive me?
With anyone else it would have been no problem!
But with Lars of all people?! The father of our child?!
If you knew how sorry I am about all of this
At least you told me, otherwise it would have been even worse
Does that mean you forgive me?
What about Lars? Does he have feelings for you?
I can't imagine he does. No, why would he?
== He kissed you. == He apologized.
== For the kiss? == Yes! That proves it was just a one-off thing for him, right?
YOU'RE the one who kissed him, not me
He knows we're married, and that you're the only one I love! And no other!
And that he's the last person who will change anything about that
Are you SURE he knows that?
Absolutely
I'm very sorry, but I need time to collect my thoughts
Do you want me to leave?
Please
== But I have the feeling that we-- == Susanne, please, I want to be alone now!
Are you sure you don't want me to stay?
I could try to swap my shift with someone!
Or I'll take you with me into... into the city and we'll have a coffee somewhere
No. I would really like to be alone now.
Carla!
Please don't forget, I... I love you. And ONLY you and no one else.
It was just a kiss
How many people have you kissed in your life?
Many
Exactly
Too many
Call me? Anytime. I'll come right away. Okay?
Okay
Carla, what are you doing out here still?
I was just taking a walk. Sometimes I need that.
In the dark, in your condition? Don't you think that's a little unsafe?
The baby's doing fine, don't worry
And you?
Have you had a fight with Susanne?
Is it bad?
I've simply had too little time for her recently. First New York, now the Holding...!
That isn't good for a relationship!
Yes, that may be. On the other hand, Susanne knew what she was letting herself in for.
She married not only the most beautiful woman in Düsseldorf, but also a very busy and successful businesswoman
But if you want to cut back on your time at work for a while, let me know
That isn't necessary, thank you
Listen, despite all the worries the Holding is causing us at the moment, the happiness of my children can't be allowed to fall by the wayside
Take yourself some time for Susanne. Attend to her. At the moment that's much more important.
And if you aren't going to do it for your relationship,...
... then do it for my grandchild
Are you alone?
Have you come to see Gregor? He's in his room.
Of course not
I think we should finally discuss things
I'm glad you agree. I was beginning to think you wanted to go right back to "business as usual".
I've tried, but I can't think about anything else anymore except our kiss!
What's wrong? Should I not say that? Damn it, it's the truth!
We shouldn't have let ourselves get carried away
And you know that as well as I do!
Nonetheless, it happened. And not without reason!
Susanne, we can't just act like that kiss was some accidental slip!
That won't do YOU any good, or ME!
I love Carla, she's my wife! I can't do that to her, do you understand?
Well, and how, in your opinion, are things supposed to go from here? You feel something for me. Do you want to keep suppressing that?
I can't do it for you, but you have to make a decision. The sooner, the better.
None for me, thank you
The situation isn't easy for you. I understand that. But it can't go on like this!
I married Carla with the intention of growing old with her
And even after our kiss, nothing about that has changed
Am I supposed to act now as though nothing between us ever happened?
Believe me, it isn't easy for me, but that's the only way things can be!
You're certainly taking the easy way out! You think I can turn my feelings on and off just like that?!
Damn it, I feel something for you
A lot for you, as a matter of fact
I think about you day and night. What am I supposed to do with that? Tell me!
The best thing would be for us to not see each other for a while
What??
That will make it easier. For both of us.
What am I supposed to say. You leave me no other choice anyway.
All right then... take care.
You too
If you should change your mind...
I'm quite certain I won't
You know you can come to me anytime, okay?
I care about you so, so, so much!
I'll wait for you
So you are
You're in love with Lars
Wait, Carla!
== Why? == You've misinterpreted something. I only love YOU!
Carla, we're just friends, good friends!
I don't know what's worse
That you have feelings for him, or that you're lying to me
== And you love her, too. == That isn't true, Carla, please, wait! You have to believe me! Carla...!
== Please listen. == Please!
I exchanged vows with you because we belong together
The two of us, and our baby. Have you forgotten?
No. Susanne, I know the way you look when you're in love.
== So there you see. == And that's exactly the way you looked at Lars!
Because I was thinking about YOU!
== Were you also thinking about me when you two were kissing? == The kiss meant nothing!
Ohh, at least admit to your feelings!
How am I supposed to admit to something that isn't true?!
Susanne, stop lying to me. Do you love Lars?
Give me a clear answer, yes or no, do you love him?!
Sometimes silence says more than a thousand words
How many times do I have to say it?! I MUST see Carla!
So sorry. The countess expressly stated that she didn't wish to be disturbed.
== Not even by ME? == SPECIFICALLY not by you.
== Those were HER words? == As much as it pains me.
You can save your empty platitudes
My job is to fulfill the wishes of my masters, and not their guests
I'm not a guest, I'm Carla's wife
Ms. Brandner, I have explicit instructions
Couldn't you one time, one single time, make an exception?
What's wrong? Are there problems?
No, everything is fine. I just need to sort something out with Inga.
Oh, look at that, the commoners quarreling! Charming.
Thank you
Please, are you sure you can't make an exception?
It's not up to my discretion
Then... tell her I'm waiting out here
In that case, I'm supposed to send you home
Then tell her at least that I was here
== As you wish. == Thanks.
What's going to become of us?
Yes?
Hello
You?
Who were you expecting?
At any rate, not you
I'm so sorry about everything
Me too
How can I prove to you that the kiss with Lars meant nothing?
If you don't know, then who?
I love you!
Apparently not enough, or else you wouldn't have kissed Lars
I hardly slept at all last night
Me either! Thank you very much!
I won't survive another night like that
I can't bear being without you anymore
Why don't you go ask Lars then? Maybe HE'LL comfort you.
Please give us another chance
So you can disappoint me even more?
We were going to build a family
And you're always talking about 'family'
It was OUR idea. We BOTH wanted it.
It was YOURS
== We've had a wonderful time till now. == Yes, and you thoroughly fucked that up.
== It was only a kiss. == With the father of our child.
Lars gets me pregnant and for his reward he kisses you! Are those ideal preconditions for a harmonious family?!?!
The baby was our greatest wish! Such a little crisis can't throw us off course!
Had I known what kind of surprises you were going to come up with during the pregnancy...!
You can't possibly want to just throw away all our plans, all because of one stupid kiss?!
I was never interested in being pregnant. MY life was fulfilling enough.
You're only saying that because I've hurt you
No. This pregnancy was a mistake. A large, IMBECILIC mistake.
Carla!
What I'd most like to do is abort this baby
Do you realize what you just said?
Yes. But don't worry. An abortion is sadly no longer possible.
It was a moronic idea to start a family and bring a child into this world!
You can't mean that seriously
Oh yes I can. You were the one who talked me into it.
I had my reservations about a pregnancy from the beginning
We made that decision together. You wanted it as much as I did!
I didn't know then, though, that you were suddenly going to discover your love for the father!!
I'm not... with Lars... you've interpreted that wrong!
Susanne, you kissed him, and the way you looked at him yesterday...
Do you really think I'm THAT STUPID!?!?
I already explained it to you. The kiss was the result of a situation.
I was sad, because Paul had moved to France
Please tell me how that's supposed to work in the future? Are you going to climb into bed with Lars the minute you're bored because I need more time at the office?
There will never be more between Lars and me. Because I'm with YOU. And want to stay.
Carla, I have no greater wish than that we be happy together
You and I and our child
Please go now
I love you. Even if you don't believe me right now.
Oh, that's very kind, thank you. Please bring a tea up to my room.
Countess, you have a visitor
== Hello, Carla. == Lars, what do you want? I have no time, I'm tired, and all I want to do is go to bed.
I just want to make something clear
What's that? That you're turning the tables now?
I took Hanna away from you. So now you're taking Susanne away from me? Is this your personal revenge campaign?!
That is total bullshit!
== What do you want? == I want to be honest with you.
Yes, I've fallen in love with Susanne. And I had hoped for more from that kiss.
How lovely
But Susanne is standing by you, one hundred percent! She has no interest in me whatsoever!
She loves you. Only YOU!
Carla, please. In a few months you're going to be parents...
== I'M going to be a mother, Susanne however-- == ... is looking forward to the baby! And she's looking forward to raising the child with you.
Give her credit for being open with you,...
... for telling you what happened between us
Is that it?
Please. Don't just throw this relationship away! All because of a kiss that to Susanne meant nothing!
Well, why aren't you getting it, given that you're standing right there? It's going to be for you anyway.
Can't you get it instead? Please.
Why? Is somebody else besides Carla on your blacklist?
I'm just tired. I don't feel like talking to anyone.
Brandner
== Evening, Mr. Brandner. == Ah, Mr. Schneider!
Uh, I wanted to talk to Susanne, is she home yet?
Uh, my daughter,... uh, she's probably out putting in overtime somewhere
== Can I give her a message? == No, no, I'll try her cell. Goodbye.
Goodbye.
He's gonna try your cell
The person you are trying to reach is temporarily unavailable.
Lars Schneider! Why don't you want to talk to him? Does he have something to do with the fight between you and Carla?
== No, not at all, absolutely not. == I'll take your word for it...
Why is life so complicated, Papa?
Oh, child, you're asking the wrong person
Countess Lahnstein
Dr. Baltsch
Are you feeling all right? You're very pale.
No, no, everything's fine. I just... didn't sleep very well.
Worries?
If we're lucky, today we'll be able to tell whether it's going to be a boy or a girl
Really
So...
Take a look here,... so, here we have the head...
And see here, the abdomen...
... the feet...
And now the baby's even waving at us
That's really unbelievable!
And now it just yawned. Probably didn't have a relaxing night either, hm?
No
Even babies in the womb are deeply affected by how the mother is doing. That's often underestimated.
Oh, really?
Yes, they sense every emotion the mother is feeling
Don't worry. The baby for sure won't be upset by one sleepless night.
I certainly hope not
It's really incredible the way a tiny being grows and develops!
Yes,... and this tiny being here is also decidedly forthcoming
If you want, I'll tell you whether it's going to be a boy or a girl
I apologize that you've had to be so upset lately on account of me
It won't happen again
From now on I'm going to make you feel snug as a bug!
And in a few months, I'll be holding you in my arms
That will be the greatest moment of my life
