Hey
Hey
Well, unfortunately, I have to get to the hospital, I have the late shift
Take care of yourself, Chubby
We've worked it all out. The funeral is tomorrow at noon.
I brought you your things
Here
Was there anything else important?
Only those pictures of you and Hanna
And uh...
... your sketchbook
Thanks
So, have you been able to get some sleep?
A little
Shall I have some food sent up to you?
Later maybe
Can I do anything else for you?
I'm genuinely worried about you
You don't need to be
I'm okay
Considering the circumstances
And regarding tomorrow...
What about tomorrow?
Of course I'll go with you... to Hanna's funeral
That's nice of you
It's the least I can do
So, I'm going to get going
== Will you please give Ms. Jones my sincerest sympathy? == Yes, I will.
== See you later, Ansgar. == See you later.
== Oh, excuse me. == Mr. von Beyenbach.
== Cécile, Count Lahnstein. == How is Carla doing?
== Well, so-so. == I see you're going to the funeral as well.
Yes, Hanna was a mutual friend of Carla's and mine
== See you later. == Yes, see you later.
Morning
Aren't you going into the office?
Later
What do you mean 'later'?
Well, after the funeral
We have an internal audit coming up. You're going to take care of the books!
The books are in order
Yes, really! There isn't the slightest irregularity!
I'll give you exactly half an hour - then I'll expect you on the job
== But I have to go-- == What you 'HAVE' to do is still determined by me.
Plus which, it's news to me that you were so closely befriended with this Ms. Novak
Yeah, right, but Carla...
I'm quite sure Carla will understand that your job takes precedence
[Closed due to a death in the family]
Isabell, let it be, I'll take care of it
Hey, it's all right
At least Jana has time to take care of Carolin later
I can't think one clear thought
Hello
Hi
Uhm, have you heard anything from Carla today?
Uh... it kind of surprised me, too, but apparently Bernd von Beyenbach is going to look after her
Great. Then he's coming to the funeral too?
I'm assuming so
Then maybe it won't be quite so hard for Carla
So, I can't go with you
Your dear brother is once again of the opinion that business takes precedence. What kind of person is he anyway?!
That's too bad, but... I'll be fine anyway
But it's exactly moments like this where I belong at your side!
The others will be there too
Are you really going to make it through this?
All right
Where would you like the flowers?
== I'll take them. Thanks. == Mhm.
Isn't putting red roses on the casket of your - pardon me - 'just a friend' going to look a little odd to others?
Let people think whatever they want
Do you not get it? You run the risk of betraying your true feelings for Hanna.
I don't care
== Do you want to blow the cover on our engagement?! == Bernd, that really doesn't matter to me right now.
What??
I know how much pain you must be feeling. Your sister was a wonderful person.
I wholeheartedly agree with that
As Hanna's girlfriend, shouldn't I stand next to Ms. Jones?
Don't you think there are better places and times for your coming-out?
I know what Hanna really meant to you
We will now pay last homage to the deceased
Leonard, I don't know if I can do this
We've gathered here together, in the presence of God, to bid farewell to Hanna Novak
Ms. Brandner?
Hanna wrote this letter, after ...
...realizing she was going to die
Dear Friends,
It is very important to me that you know how much your friendship and support have meant to me.
Without you I would have had a hard time making it through these last days and weeks.
David and Lars,...
... You've meant a great deal to me and I'm grateful you were such selfless and supportive good friends.
Sylvia,...
... You've shown me in these last weeks that I have a sister who really loves me.
And Isabell,...
... without you there is much I wouldn't have made it through.
You are the best friend anyone could wish for.
I would have gladly spent many more years with all of you, but fate wanted differently.
You must promise me one thing -
the same way you were always there for me, you must now be for each other.
Let us pray
Our Father, who art in heaven
... hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done
... in earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us...
I have to get out of here
Shall I go with you?
No, I'd like to be alone. Don't worry.
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Where is Carla? What happened?
This was all too much for her
What the hell does that mean? Where did she go?
She left, she wanted to be alone
You can't leave her alone in such a condition!
Man, Bernd, that is really her own decision to make
And what if she outs herself as Hanna's lover?
== I don't think she will. == All right, I'm leaving, I'm going to look for her.
== Wait, I'll come with you. == No no, I'll do it.
== Ansgar von Lahnstein. == Beyenbach here. Have you seen Carla?
== Tell me, why are you not in the office? == Why aren't you answering my question?
You are flouting my instructions
How often do I have to say it?! I wanted to accompany Carla to the funeral.
== For that you're neglecting your responsibilities, are you? == Yes, damn it, Carla is more im-por-tant to me!
When I give you an instruction, that takes priority!
Over a funeral, does it?
== Yes, of course! == Are you actually serious?
Father
With that attitude you are not going to get far
Hanna?
Why did you leave me?
Father, all due respect, but... you don't know what this is about
Well, then enlighten me!
A more important appointment came up for us, very short notice
== That's all? == What do you mean, "That's all"? The appointment is absolut--
Whatever it is - in the case of a funeral, business affairs take a back seat
And everyone should actually be sympathetic to that
Ahem
Your lack of consideration and sensitivity is really unbelievable
Hello?
May I presume from this little intermezzo that I can finally go attend to Carla now?
You may, Mr. von Beyenbach
Oh, Count Lahnstein, I had no idea you...
It's all right, goodbye
In the future, I will expect more capacity for empathy from you
And social skills, I know
Yes. Internalize that for once.
Well, then I'm going to be going now
Ms. Jones
If you need any counsel, or even just moral support, I'm here for you anytime
Yes, thank you. Thank you very much, Pastor.
Everyone kept saying she'd come through the transplant well
== Yes, and then so suddenly - no one could have ever suspected, I mean... == Yes. == Right, yes.
Do you know why Carla left early?
Ever since our mother's death, funerals have definitely not been her thing
You'll excuse me?
Hm, yes
Can I help you?
If you want, sure
Do you know what I find strange?
That Hanna made absolutely no mention of Carla in her goodbye letter
I'm certain what Hanna had to tell her wasn't intended for the public
Maybe she wrote her a different letter
It's possible
But I didn't find anything when I was putting things away
Has Carla gotten back in touch with you?
I think Bernd is taking care of her right now
Excuse me, could you help me in the kitchen for a sec?
== Yes, of course, I'll be right there. == Thanks.
Well, then tell me what I should do
== Maybe you can just ask whether anybody would like more coffee. == Okay.
Uhm, do you guys need help?
Yes, that would be great
After all, you two have really gotten quite familiar
Familiar with things here, I mean, of course
