Did I understand that correctly just now? Sylvia offered to be your donor?
Yes
And I turned her down
This is THE chance to lead a normal life again! Without the dialysis machine.
Sylvia didn't mean her offer seriously
What argument is there against taking her at her word for once?
Why on earth are you advocating for her so hard?!
One could almost think that...
Oh, I see! That's what this is about!
What??
What are you giving her? Did you promise her a better position with the Lahnstein Holding?
That is completely absurd!
No, not at all. It's a lot more practical than buying a kidney in the third world!
What you think your sister is capable of is one thing...
== You know my reasons. == But to accuse ME of something like that?!
I'm sorry
Still
My sister has never offered me anything sheerly out of love
Well, everything good?
Your numbers are all in the clear. Dr. Mallman says you're free to go home.
Hmm. Please, don't look so excited.
Sylvia agreed to be her donor
But that's wonderful!
Hanna turned her down
Ms. Jones
Good morning
Do you have a moment to talk?
I'd like to apologize for my behavior yesterday in the hospital. I was very unfair to you.
== And you aren't the only one. == I know.
But please understand Hanna. This is all taking a real toll on her.
I'd like to ask you to keep your offer open
You're Hanna's last chance
Why are you putting yourself out like this for my sister?
She's a good friend of mine. And what she's going through right now affects me very deeply.
I've done what I could. But I'm sick and tired of constantly listening to Hanna's insinuations.
== You're taking back your offer? == No, not that.
But I definitely won't be approaching Hanna about it AGAIN
Would YOU accept anything from Sylvia?
Hanna, this isn't about just 'anything'. It's about your life!
And I can live indefinitely with the dialysis
== I need two Cokes and a water. == Yep.
Lars, I have a job that I enjoy. I have wonderful friends. And I'm in love.
I'll be able to get a handle on my life just fine
Don't worry, I'll take care of myself
I'll look in on you again this evening, all right?
Maybe you can try talking to her again. You're the one she's most likely to listen to anyway.
Is something wrong?
I talked to your sister again
Carla, that topic is finished!
== Hanna! == No!
I can live with the dialysis, but I'll only succeed if you support me in that
Please, Carla!
Of course
I'm always here for you
I need four Alts for Table 5 and an apple juice spritzer, please
Mhm
== Pretty busy here tonight. == Yes, I'll say.
On an evening like this you can't handle the pub by yourself, can you?
I would really be drowning. But Hanna's still here.
== That's right, and in full force! == But when it gets quieter, then--
Then I have drinks here to fill, glasses to wash, and the register to close out at the end of the day. And no protests please!
Am I allowed to at least put up the chairs?
Well sure, because it's you
Ah, watchdog number two
== Hello. == Hello.
== Hanna can't let it go, can she? == Well, she lives for her No Limits.
That too, yes
But all the running and rushing around...
... is terrific for me. Finally, I feel like a normal person again.
IF you want to lead a normal life again, then accept your sister's offer!
Table 2 wants to order something else
Finally there's a compatible donor and Hanna turns it down!
Insane! We made a ton of money today!
YOU made the ton of money
You were running back and forth the entire time like a rabbit
Oh right, that was just WAY too strenuous for me. Oh God, oh God, I could have keeled over!
Hanna, it doesn't have to be like this
Carla, I am not going to let Sylvia's kidney be implanted in me
Because you're doing so well with the dialysis, right? The nausea, the dizzy spells...
They're as good as gone. I've gotten used to it, now, with that machine.
It's all just psychosomatic
I don't want to think about "what if" anymore, I want to look forward
== Hi, Isabell. == Hi.
== Where's Carolin? == With Arno and Elisabeth. Good night.
Good night
Can't you understand that I don't want to constantly keep thinking about my illness anymore? Hm?
Of course I can
And I'll support you wherever I can. The main thing is that we're happy.
For me too
What is it about my sister that you're going to such great lengths for her?
What do you mean by that?
Well, this all looks like an "I'm going to win back my girlfriend" campaign
Hanna is simply important to me, nothing more!
== So, and what do I have to do with that? == You know very well what.
Hanna spurned my offer
Hanna first still needs to be persuaded about the operation. By me, by friends...
... and by you too!
Aha. And in your opinion, what is this 'persuasion effort' supposed to look like?
Sylvia,...
... just make a step towards her
Maybe on all fours, yeah? No, my dear, I've had enough.
Hanna wants something from me, so she needs to come to me
I already told Carla von Lahnstein that, too, by the way
Hi
Oh God, oh God, oh God. Did you ever startle me!
Sorry
How was it at Königsbrunn?
Nice
'Nice'. And?
What about Leonard?
He's... attractive, charming...
he compliments me...
But I don't know what I'm supposed to think of it all
Come on, let's clean this up tomorrow, hm?
I can't sleep anyway
Go on and go to bed
Okay, good night
Good night
Hello, may I come in?
And you really think that's such a good idea - to move into one of the rooms upstairs?
You know yourself how precarious Hanna's condition is. So it's best if someone is with her.
And you don't have any time next week, in the mornings?
I can't say exactly, yet. I have to meet with a classmate to prepare a report.
All right, then I'll take over the early shifts
For most of the day I'm at the university anyway
And so the least I can do is help her in the evenings
If you think so
== Apartment sharing isn't my thing, anyway. == Hello, my angel! == Was it so bad with them? Awhhh.
We did our best, but I believe what she wants right now is to see her mother
Is Isabell up yet? We weren't supposed to be here for another hour.
You're still really hooked on Hanna, hm?
No, that's over. We're just good friends now.
And so you just up and decided you'd move in next to me?!
It would be simplest for everyone involved
You didn't even ask if that's what I wanted!
You're all treating me like I'm on the brink of death, and now you're trying to play the Good Samaritan too!
My God, it's not just for you that I want to move! I don't feel comfortable in the apartment anymore, either.
Oh right, and I'm supposed to believe that?
Of COURSE I'm worried about you, yes! Because you're taking too much on yourself!
Lars, you shouldn't constantly keep meddling in matters that aren't your business!
And therefore you will NOT move in upstairs, you got that?!
What was that all about?
Regardless what I do, it's always wrong
Lars, what's really behind your plans to move?
Maybe I'm way off base...
... but it wouldn't be too far-fetched if you actually do still have hopes regarding Hanna, right?
Most definitely not
What is it then?
It's my fault that Hanna is dependent on a machine
That thought is killing me
I just wanted to tell you that I've moved out of the room again
What do you want to hear from me now?
I thought I was doing you a favor
That's exactly the problem - you think too much!
Hanna, I am responsible for your situation
I caused you to fall down the stairs, it's MY fault you had to have a kidney removed...
... and it's MY fault you're now dependent on dialysis
You think it's fun to live with a feeling like that?
That's what this is about, about YOUR feelings
About YOUR condition, about YOUR redemption. That's also why you want me to accept Sylvia's offer, so YOU will feel better again!
== Hanna, no! == YES! And now you're going to listen to me, Lars!
This is all just going way too far!
I can understand that my illness does have an effect on you and that you want to do something
But I don't WANT your help and I don't NEED it either
Have you got that now, all right?!
I am not going to decide to have a kidney transplant just so that HE'LL feel BETTER again
== That is NOT Lars' intention! == Instead?
== He just wants you to have a normal life again. == We've covered that topic already.
Last week, when you still didn't know who the donor was, we were dreaming about vacations and a new life together
Yes, but now I know, and that changes the situation
Why are you making our lives so unnecessarily difficult?
Your entire reasoning is being dictated by just one feeling - your hate for your sister
And you're forgetting one thing - the people you love, and who love you
Hey, stop!
If our relationship and our happiness meant anything to you...
But you mean everything to me, Carla, and you know that!
I want to spend the rest of my life with you
Good
Then agree to the operation
That would be THE solution to your problems, and you refuse to agree to it
You know my reasons
And I'm getting tired of HEARING it!
== My sister... == ... was able to get OVER herself and made a step towards you.
From anyone else. You need to understand that.
CAN'T you do it, or do you not WANT to do it?
Actually, I've gotten accustomed to the dialysis
And at some point, a matching donor will turn up
'At some point'?!
All you do is think of yourself!
Do you have any clue how scared I am?!
Hey Carla, please
And remember especially to take care of the roses
That's it then, thank you
Oh, there you two are. All we're missing is Carla.
And, is everything going according to plan on the construction site?
Yes, amazingly enough, Brandner Construction has so far been keeping to the schedule
I expected nothing less
Well, a midsized company like Brandner Construction doing a project like this conference center isn't normally--
== Mr. Brander has an impeccable reputation in the industry. == Who asked you for your opinion?
== Plus which, he is entirely within the limits of his cost estimate. == Yeah, yeah.
I apologize
No rush. We haven't started with the meeting yet.
Well, that depends on your view. Anyway, regarding Brandner Construction--
Wouldn't it be better if we discussed that at our meeting inside?
What's going on with you, Carla?
You're rarely in your office these days
And here at home I only ever see you in passing, too
If there's anything at all that's causing you concern, then...
Hanna
Come in
I'd like to know something
Aha
And what?... Please, sit down.
Well, would you like something to drink? Water, coffee, juice?
Thanks, but I have to mind my fluid intake restrictions
Goes with the dialysis
So...?
I need to have an honest answer
Why are you offering to be my donor?
Good, then the rest I'm certain you can discuss without me. I have a lot of things to do.
Well, Mr. von Beyenbach, then we don't need you anymore
Weren't we just in the middle of a meeting?
Yeah, yeah. If I need to clarify any particular details - like the weather forecast or the time of day - then I'll call you.
That is not the tone we take, Ansgar
Mr. von Beyenbach
I was just going to check on the weather
Do you know what's going on with my daughter?
Oh, Father, what would be wrong with her?!
She has seemed very tense lately
Carla would never admit it, but the kidnapping - naturally, it's still really weighing on her
I actually shouldn't be talking about it, but as her fiance, of course her happiness is very dear to my heart.
Then we should be contemplating how we can help her
