Hey, slow down!
She doesn't get it.
Marlene! Do you have to set everybody against us?!
Set them against you? What are you talking about?!
It's no wonder no one's happy about Tristan outsourcing the production to Romania!
You know precisely that I think it's a stupid idea, as well!
However, I can't believe you would stab me in the back with summoning people for a strike! And just before the Fashion Days!
Hello?! I've prevented a big strike from happening!
Come on, whether it's a strike or a slowdown strike, the outcome is the same: my collection won't be ready in time and then we can all back our bags!
Rebecca, these people have to do something! They're merely fighting for their jobs, can't you understand that?!
No! This is blackmail, in my eyes! And I can't sympathize with that!
-- Too bad you see it that way. I think all they do is fight back. == Yeah, fighting back with sabotage! Great!
Look, that's just how things are going when there's a slowdown strike!
Do you honestly believe they're going to keep working overtime after hearing these news?
I just thought I could rely on you.
-- Look, can we talk about this privately? == Sure.
== What is your problem? -- Well, of course you...
it made my situation more difficult, of course!
If the seamstresses had gone on a simple strike, Tristan would have given them a written warning and that would have been the end of it!
-- So that's your idea of solving a problem? == My collection is at stake here!
Of course your collection is at stake, because everything is always about YOU!
No, it's mainly about LCL!
Of course it's about me, as well.
I just thought, you'd be happy for me that, after my burn out, I had great ideas, again, and I could show everybody what I'm made of!
Without having to deal with some Juri Adam or Damian Wood in front of me.
You're reproaching me for ruining that for you?
When you wanted to go to New York, without talking to me about it first, I would have gone with you!
I would have left everything behind for you, even though my family needed me!
== Yes, I know.-- I had everything prepared for our new life, for YOUR flag store!
Yet, then you changed your mind and I accepted it, AGAIN!
== Yes, that's true! -- Allright, then don't accuse me of working against you!
When it comes to company politics, we disagree, okay.
But don't expect me to go against my principles!
-- You could wait until after the Fashion Days to... == Rebecca, forget it!
Damn!
Here you are! Why aren't you answering your phone? I've been looking for you for half an hour!
I didn't hear.
What's the matter? Did someone put sleeping pills in the drinking water, today?
It seems like everybody is moving in slow motion!
Slowdown strike. The staff overheard that Tristan plans to outsource the sewing department to Romania, so everyone works to rule, now.
That's not good. But Tristan made this happen, so he has to take care of it and make sure everything goes smoothly until the show!
We have to make a rehearsal with the fans and determine a colour concept for the lighting of the show.
The two of us? Alone?
The rest of the department won't even finish their normal work by the end of the day! You can forget about overtime.
Then we take the intern and your girlfriend; I've always wanted to work overtime with her...
Sorry.
Never mind. This is all Marlene's fault! She started this!
-- Okay, I understand. == I don't!
No harm done!
No, I don't understand Marlene, either, but I understand why you're not your sunny-self, today.
-- However, instead of destroying fabrics, I suggest a creative attack! == No!
I can always work the best, when I'm in a really crappy mood!
Schulz! Here you are! Could you come up here, for a minute? Rebecca and I need your help.
Didn't Rebecca tell you the employees are working to rule, right now, until their jobs are safe again?
Didn't Rebecca tell you the employees are working to rule, right now, until their jobs are safe again?
She did, but that doesn't apply to interns, does it?
Yes, it does.
You can't just exploit the week in order to sabotage the move of your colleagues!
Allright, fine...Tristan will clarify this.
Rebecca is right, by the way, you're really a tough cookie! I should have known, as you never went out with me.
Is it okay that I don't help him?
Of course! Have a cup of coffee, first!
Things can't go on like this!
Did you talk to the staff?
There's nothing we can do!
-- A slowdown strike! You've got to be kidding! == Just before the Fashion Days.
LCL reception, Marlene von Lahnstein speaking, what can I do for you?
He's not here today, I'm afraid.
I'll have to ask you to call again, tommorrow. Yes, thank you, bye!
Only you can take care of this, Tristan. You better talk to Marlene, as it's her fault everybody's working at snail pace.
Marlene?!
You bet I'm going to talk to her!
Just so you know, there are going to be consequences!
Don't worry, you can go.
We're staying here only for as long as it's written in the contract.
== You've got nothing against us, legally. -- We'll see about that.
Tristan von Lahnstein, thanks for calling back!
-- Caro, hey! If you're done, you can leave, as well. == I know, but...
No one's going to call you a strike-breaker if you want to stay and work creatively.
== Really? -- Of course.
== Can I help somehow? -- You can help carrying the other dummies.
Have a nice evening.
I get now why you fought for the staff and I respect it.
I'm sorry I can't support you in this, but I have to make this collection work and prove to everyone what I'm capable of!
Even if you think that's egoistic.
It is egoistic. But I can really understand you, so good luck!
And now get back to work!
-- Caro, could you get rid of the second dummy? I have to see it seperately. == Right away.
I don't know. I think the dress turned out too plain.
On the contrary. It's a classic! Elegant, gallant... I'm speechless.
-- Don't you think it will disappear next to the others? == No. Besides, the dress won't appear on the runway in this lighting.
Imagine golden lighting...
-- To be honest, it would help if I could see it. == Your wish is my command.
Yes, perfect!
== Can I do anything else? -- Not at the moment, no.
Something to eat would be great.
Well, then...
Should I get something to eat?
Yes, something to eat, Schulz! Food! You must have heard of it, before!
== What should I get? -- Whatever! Be creative! Surprise me.
Okay, fine.
You don't like the dress, do you?
The dress is perfect, I just don't know how to present it, yet.
I don't like those two stairs.
The dress is unique, so I don't want any other models on the stage when it is presented.
However, if it comes on stage from only one direction, it's going to seem asymmetric, somehow.
Well, normally I don't handle the pre-planning, so this may sound stupid, but...
maybe we don't have to put the LCL-logo at the front side, but instead put another stair in the middle.
Bad idea?
No. Good idea!
Still not happy?
-- The handbag has to be alive! == What?
The dummy is a sleeping pill! Not suitable as a model, also it's all still very...headless.
Well, it is a dummy, you see.
-- Yeah...I need more life! Could you stand behind it? == Okay.
Stop! Don't move! That's it!
I have to look at that, up close.
Rebecca, you're perfect.
I think you should wear the dress yourself on the show.
== Yeah, right! -- I'm serious!
-- As designer! Don't you think that's a bit arrogant? == No! It's confident!
== Besides, I don't a model figure. -- Who needs that? You got the glow!
You're crazy, really. I like that, though.
While working! Wouldn't want you to become even more arrogant.
Who, me?!
-- So? Did the bosses get we mean business? == I think so.
Let's hope they're terrified, then! Without us, they're nothing! It's about time, the great counts realized that!
This is not about teaching anyone a lesson, though.
What else could you say? You're half-a-Lahnstein, yourself.
Jeez, Nicole, could you stop with your nacker-slogans, for a minute?! It's really annoying!
Even you should understand that we can only succeed if we stay objective.
You're right.
At first I thought the feather fans...
were too burlesque, but as the gala-wardrobe is so accentuated...
this could be a great contrast to the ostrich feathers.
Yes, that was the plan.
What's more mysterious...
than the hidden face of a woman?
The Lahnsteins are having a hard time, at the moment. Tanja is in a coma...
Yes, okay, you're right! There shouldn't be a mud-slinging, but still, they should at least meet us halfway.
Could you at least convince Rebecca?
I'm sorry, but she's convinced she has to get her collection ready in time for the Fashion Days.
She's only thinking about her glory, now that she produces a collection all on her own.
Rebecca is a dedicated designer! She does the same thing that we do: she fights for her job! I can understand that.
She'd work for that till she drops!
She's working another nightshift with Thore, as we speak!
If I look at you like that...
Then don't look at me like that.
Honestly, I think you should wear the dress yourself!
You're the perfect show-stopper!
How many times do you want to say that?
I never repeat myself. I only say what I think.
What are you thinking right now?
I'm thinking I talk too much.
I've got duck, chicken and some of that tofu-stuff. I didn't know...
Rebecca?
Hello?
-- Did you hear something? == What?
Someone was there, right?!
So what?
So what?! Damn... what am I doing here?!
What am I doing?
Come on, Olli, pick up!
Olli, it's me, Caro!
Please, call me as soon as possible! It's an emergency!
-- There's no one here! == What's the food doing here, then?
Schulz.
Do we have a problem, now?
I have a problem. What was I thinking?!
We weren't thinking at all!
It just happened! It's what happens if two people work together...it creates this special kind of atmosphere and everything becomes one. It's normal!
-- Yes. It was a one time thing. == Yeah, sure.
Man, everything is so complicated with Marlene and me, right now!
It never was, before.
Right at the beginning it was complicated, yes, but...
I always knew that I loved her and she was the only one I wanted and she loved me!
However, right now, all we talk about are work contracts, dismissals and the colleagues she suddenly has to fight for!
She fights for her team! It's just her thing.
Great! So I'm the evil vampire who sucks the blood out of the entire team?!
In the meantime, I feel as alive as I've never felt before!
This collection we're producing right now, I've dreamt of doing that for such a long time!
Well, you don't have to apologize to ME.
Yeah.
It can't possibly get worse than this.
Caro?
I was wrong, it can get worse.
== Can I help you? -- Can you attach a bike chain?
Thanks for the food.
Duck, chicken, tofu...I didn't know which you prefer. When it comes to food, I mean...
== You saw everything. -- That's none of my business.
Okay.
Well, it was certainly a surprise... I mean, you're in a relationship and all.
I thought it's none of your business. Thanks.
You're with a woman and Thore is a man! I mean... it's not a problem. It doesn't concern me.
Sorry for enriching your limited view of life with a new experience.
I don't even know why I'm talking to you about this.
You're scared I might tell Marlene, right?
Are you going to tell her?
What happened between Thore, I mean Mr. Hellström and me, it didn't mean anything. Not for him and not for me.
I know this is putting you in an awkward position.
I won't get involved.
You don't have to.
I'm going to tell Marlene myself.
Right, then...
drive safely!
"It didn't mean anything"
There's your proof, Caro! He's really an idiot!
Don't tell me you ran all the way from Königsbrunn?
I did, somehow.
An inner voice told me if only I ran long enough, I'd know what to do in the end.
== So? Did it work? -- Of course not.
There's an empty seat. If you wanna talk instead of running.
== Only if we can talk about you. -- What's there to talk about?
For example, why you're sitting in a rainy park in the middle of the night.
There's something I have to do...
and I know it's the right thing to do, but...
I'm also really scared of doing it, because I know...
it could destroy everything.
What if that decision changes everything?
If all is going to be over after it?
Why can't somebody walk by and make our decisions for us?!
== Hey! -- Hey.
You're back before dawn! That's a new record!
Well, you haven't yet stolen all of my employees.
Did you see Sebastian? He was with Tanja today, wasn't he?
Yes. Her condition remains unchanged.
Does he know...what to do, yet?
He's scared to make the decision.
I can understand that.
I couldn't do it, you know...
to just turn Tanja off like that...
I miss her.
This is the moment where I'd like for you to give me a hug.
Come on, Rebecca, I thought we were okay!
Yes, we are okay!
Then why don't you come over here and kiss me, already?
I'm really hungry!
-- I'm sure Thore really kept you at it. == What?
I remember this from my time on stage...
if the energy just won't stop flowing and you just sink into your own little cosmos, then the rest of the world just doesn't matter, anymore!
Yes, I...
well...
You're totally flustered!
Rebecca, it's okay for me.
We just have different opinions, right now, but I know exactly how important your show is to you.
And that's just what I told my colleagues.
So...how about you get us something to eat and then you tell me how you imagine your show, right down to the last detail?
Yes...Great plan.
Rebecca! You know we can talk about everything, right?
Hey, you're still here!
I thought I'd lost you to Thore, by now!
Why do you keep talking about this Thore-guy?!
I thought you guys had to prepare again, today, for the Fashion Days?
Yes, of course. I'm sorry.
Anyways, I love you. Even if you seem a bit confused, right now, to be honest.
Marlene, I have to tell you something.
I...
Rebecca, Marlene... it's good you're here.
There's something I need to tell you.
So jogging helped, after all?
Good morning!
Did I miss something?
I thought the whole time I'd have to find an answer to what Tanja would have wanted.
That's ridiculous.
It's always been clear what she would have wanted.
I was the problem.
The question was whether I could let her go.
I called Dr Mendes and told him that this morning we're going to turn off the machines that keep Tanja alive.
I know she may not have been your best friend. However...
she was a part of this family and I want you to say goodbye to her.
If you want to.
What about the children?
I've phoned Ansgar.
We're only going to get Hannes out of boarding school for the funeral. I'm not taking Emma with me to the hospital, either.
-- Tristan organized a replacement. You can have half the day off. == Thank you.
Tanja von Lahnstein's condition got worse. The machines are going to be turned off, today.
I'm so sorry. If you need someone to talk to.
Thank you. You know about this?
== I sort of stumbled into it... -- What do you mean, you stumbled into it?
Marlene, I think we should get going. To see Tanja.
The machines are being turned off, today.
That's uhm...I'm sorry.
Marlene is a dear friend of Tanja. We shouldn't burden her with anything else, right now.
I mean the strike and all that.
-- Allright. Take care and...Be strong. == Thank you.
I'm doing inventory.
No problem, I'm just looking for a fabric. Rebecca and I had an idea, yesterday, but then something came up.
== Too bad. -- I guess you could say that.
-- Okay, I know that, yesterday you... == I saw that...
I slept with Rebecca.
Go on, Schulz! Give me your little sermon, you're dying to!
-- I don't know what you're talking about. == Oh, yes you do.
I'm sure something like that would never happen to you.
To sleep with someone who's in a relationship? No, something like that never happens to me!
That's what I thought.
Sounds like that was a bad thing, when you say it!
No. I just can't imagine you overcome by passion!
To let go, to lose control, because that's human and you as a robot don't know what that's like!
I am passionate! I just think there are certain values! Love is one ot them!
I could never...if I knew it would hurt someone else! Apart from that, I still believe in love.
Even though you think it's old-fashioned and naive.
Why do you think that? Only because Rebecca and I lost control?!
"ONLY"?!
Okay. We put you in an awkward position. I'm sorry! It wasn't our intention! This whole thing wasn't intentional, so please keep out of it!
One more thing!
You may not believe me, under the circumstances, but...
Me, I still believe in love, as well.
We're all looking for happiness with a capital "H".
Without love...everything loses its meaning!
Damn it! I was so close to hating him forever!
Then along came the prince and he rescued the princess.
-- That's the prince, right? == Yes, that's right!
You wanna look at the pictures, Emma?
I'm going to read that.
Yes! I'll be back in a minute!
Hey.
I love you.
I know you do.
I just want to say... things can happen so fast and...
I just want you to know, no matter what...
you're the one I love.
What's the matter with you?
Emma!
== You wanna read another story? -- Yes. The one with the castle.
-- The one with the castle? That's a nice fairytale, isn't it? == Yes.
== It's called Sleeping Beauty. -- Yes, Sleeping Beauty is wonderful.
Once upon a time, there was a princess.
She sat in her room in a big castle.
She was waiting for...
== She was waiting for whom? -- For the prince!
For the prince, that's right!
-- That's not the prince, though... == No.
Thank you for our time together.
Thank you for Emma.
I promise you I'm going to do everything in my power to make her happy.
And to let her know that you love her.
I'm going to love you forever.
Tanja?
Can you hear me?
Tanja!
Dr Mendes! Her mouth twitched, her fingers moved!
It's not uncommon for the body to still show reflexes.
That was no reflex! Put the machines back on, right now!
Count Lahnstein...
Can you hear me?? I'm here!
She's waking up! >English trandcript by Miral - Timings Novemberstern
