MURDER MINDFULLY
I'll kill you! I'll kill you all!
You didn't see a thing!
This is Dragan Sergowicz.
He went into hiding immediately after the crime.
Here's a list of all the places we know where he could be.
His own properties, company premises, safe havens, and so on.
This is Björn Diemel.
His lawyer.
The wanted person will probably contact him.
Okay, I'll go to the villa on Bradower Lake.
Leave your bathing suit at home. You're going to the law firm.
Yes? What is it, Möller?
Just about Björn Diemel. I don't want you to be in an awkward spot.
There's no conflict of interest.
We just studied together.
And we're looking for Dragan Sergowicz, not Björn Diemel.
Yes.
Got it.
Is everything okay, Dad?
Everything's okay.
-How about a little surprise? -Yay! I love surprises.
You'll need to close your eyes now.
Then I'll say the magic words, and then you'll have your surprise.
Okay, the surprise, and…
Open your eyes.
Dad, the magic words.
Right.
Alakazam! A magic feat. Here's your ice cream treat!
You can try any flavor you want.
Dad will be back soon. Okay, sweetie? Bye.
"Alakazam." What the fuck?
Didn't you say you should keep family and work separate?
Or has your plan changed?
No.
All right.
Thank you for your help, my friend.
He'll help me disappear.
Then he'll let you and the others know how to keep the business running. Okay?
And make sure the little one gets in.
Something inside me was vehemently opposed to putting Emily
in the same car this psychopath was getting into.
Boss?
You want some water in there?
It's a short trip. Come on, close it.
Close it.
As expected, I didn't get far.
But in my mindful, don't-give-a-fuck headspace,
I had a resting heart rate of 30
and saw the unscheduled stop as a nice, little legal exercise.
-Mr. Diemel. -One chicken nuggets, please.
No. I'm the one giving orders.
Get out, please. General vehicle check.
General vehicle checks are only allowed on a public road.
But you're on my parking garage ramp, so we're on private premises.
You can spare me writing up a disciplinary complaint against you
by just telling me what you want.
Okay.
Have you seen Dragan Sergowicz?
Yes, he's in the trunk.
Really?
No space up front with my daughter here.
Yes, but your child seat should be placed in the back.
No, there's no regulation stipulating that my child must be seated in the back.
You can put a child seat up front too,
as long as the passenger airbag is not a danger to the child,
as would be the case with a baby seat.
It's not a baby seat.
Do you have kids?
-I just wanted to know if-- -You know what I want?
Some time alone with my daughter.
Not being hassled by officers who don't know the law.
And more chicken nuggets.
I clearly won't get any of that here. Have a nice day.
Let's go eat now, shall we?
Wow.
Look how cute he is, Daddy.
So fluffy.
Great!
I'm going on a vacation with Dad.
Dad is the best daddy in the world.
Hello, Ms. Egmann.
-Hello, Björn. How are you doing? -Good.
I'm on the road with my daughter.
I told your colleague everything I don't know.
I'll keep it short.
If you end up talking to your favorite client today,
please tell him we've never had an easier time solving a murder case.
-No idea what you're talking about. -Isn't that why you went in?
No. I was in the office because my daughter wanted to play lawyers.
Dad, I was just coloring.
How do you play lawyers?
Obstructing investigations and lying to old friends?
Nicole. As I said, Emmi's with me, and she can hear us.
Hello, Nicole.
Hello, Emily.
Please tell him that he should turn himself in, okay?
-It'd save us all a lot of trouble. -Okay. Sorry about the trouble.
Emily and I are trying to avoid trouble.
Okay, see you around.
-Björn? -Bye.
Dad, when will we get there?
Soon.
-Now? -Yes, soon.
Now?
-Soon. -Now?
-Here we are.
Woo-hoo!
-We're here. -Yay!
Dad, what is that?
That's work.
Dad still has some work in the trunk.
Dad, work is not good.
Let's have quality time first, then work. Come on!
Come on, Dad!
First quality time, then work.
Dad! Come over here now!
Dad is the best daddy in the world.
Hello? Hello!
Hey! Lawyer!
Dad, come on!
Most stress we cause ourselves comes from a totally distorted view of freedom.
Freedom doesn't mean being able to do what you want.
What's wrong with that?
The assumption that we constantly have to be doing something
is the main cause of stress.
Only once you've internalized
that you do not have to do what you don't want to do…
Only then will you be free.
Dad!
Come over here!
I had to take a mindfulness seminar to understand
what my daughter had always intuitively understood.
That you have to defend your quality time against every intruder.
-Lawyer! -Dad!
Open up!
Come on now!
I don't have to do what I don't want to.
-Dad! -I'm free.
Hello!
Woo-hoo! Yes!
Come on, Dad!
For the rest of the day, the trunk with Dragan inside was light years away.
While I sprayed Emily with SPF 50 sunscreen,
Dragan's trunk heated up to about 135 Fahrenheit.
An hour later, the trunk was twice as hot,
and Dragan tried to maintain a stable temperature by sweating.
The blood vessels in the skin widened
to release heat through increased circulation.
By the afternoon, Dragan's circulation must have been going into overdrive.
And just after that, his entire cardiovascular system collapsed.
Maybe around the time Emily and I put our boat out on the lake.
When I put Emily to bed later on, Dragan was probably already dead.
It was a great day for me and my daughter.
For Dragan, it was his last.
HAPPINESS
The irony was that he died of burnout as a result of my mindful relaxation day.
Dad, get up!
The lake is still there!
Look, Dad, a raven.
The raven wants us to have breakfast.
-Can we go swimming again? -Go swimming again?
-Yes. -Absolutely.
Of course, we'll go swimming again.
How about ice cream for breakfast?
-Yay! -But don't tell mom.
All right.
Dad, what's that weird smell?
Yeah, that's…
That's my work in the trunk.
Can you get rid of it?
I will later, sweetie.
I promise.
-For now, we'll just open the window. -Okay.
MISSED CALLS - LAW FIRM, DR. DRESEN, TONI, UNKNOWN, NICOLE EGMANN
Mr. Diemel, Bregenz here.
I'm getting swamped with calls about your client.
Hey, lawyer, it's Toni. Call me back right away.
Hey, Björn. It's Nicole again.
We couldn't really talk freely last time. But I still have some questions.
This is Ms. Thewes from the local paper.
I'd like to ask you a few questions about Dragan Sergowicz.
What's wrong with you? Call me back, or you'll regret it!
Certainly not with that tone.
Hey!
Well? Hello! One, two, three, and up you go!
Wow, you're heavy. Did you grow?
-Yes, I'm grown up. -How did it go?
-Good. -Yeah? It was good?
-Yes. -How good?
It was great. We went swimming. And we saw fish.
And a black raven.
-Did you like that? -Yes.
-Did you miss Mom? -No.
-Time alone with Dad was fine? -Yes.
-Want to do it more often? -Yes.
-Really? You want to go play? -Yes, I'm going to go play.
Okay.
Thanks.
Want a coffee?
Sure. Why not?
I'd never had to worry about how to dispose of a body before.
I know that Dragan had done it a lot.
But the problem was that Dragan was the problem.
Fuck. It's Toni.
Björn!
Hey.
-You don't answer your phone anymore? -I do.
But I'm sure you understand I have a lot on my plate right now.
Tyson!
What the hell?
You think we have nothing to do? That's why we need Dragan.
So where is he?
To be honest, Toni, it's my job not to tell anyone.
Okay.
But did it all go well?
Yes. He's in a safe place.
-No instructions? Nothing to tell us? -No. Everything will happen as arranged.
There's a war. Boris is mad, and you're just chilling.
No one's chilling. Dragan is careful.
Luckily. Toni, can you do something about your dog?
Tell him Boris is mad that his guy was killed.
We have to respond.
Okay, but I can't really give him an ultimatum, can I?
I will happily pass on that it's urgent though.
-Okay? -Tell him that shit is going down here.
What smells so bad?
Old barbecue meat. From the weekend. I forgot to take it out. In this heat.
Want some?
What's wrong with you? Get rid of that shit!
What do you think I was about to do?
How was your weekend?
With your daughter Emily?
-Good. Very peaceful. -Yeah?
That's nice.
Fuck.
Toni was right. The meat finally had to go.
Gross.
The clearer my mind and my nose became, the clearer it was to me
that I had to make the body completely disappear.
A sickening realization.
But what was done, was done.
I wanted to get this murder behind me as soon as possible.
The first step was to get this fat bastard out of the trunk.
Even the longest path starts with a small step.
But if you take each step mindfully,
you won't be exhausted by the end.
You'll be relieved.
So with every step, focus on what defines that step.
Now inhale deeply
and exhale.
Inhale…
and exhale.
The breath is the central tool for mindfulness.
If we focus on it, we can reduce the influence of negative emotions.
Observe the intention behind what you're about to do.
Then carry out the activity calmly and with focus.
Shit.
The thumb.
I absolutely needed Dragan's thumb to keep him alive.
His thumb was the seal
he used to sign important messages to his employees.
INDEPENDENT - RELAX - ACTION
I didn't need his ring finger.
But I didn't want to leave a lead at the crime scene.
I'm a person who loves order.
I would've gotten rid of every last trace
even if I didn't have to fear any legal consequence.
Surveillance footage from the lake. From the boat.
Why did you leave?
Well, once Diemel left, there was nothing to film.
It's quiet there.
I'll look anyway.
Okay. Bye.
TINI - BABYSITTER NEW MESSAGE
WHEN ARE YOU COMING HOME?! BENNI MISSES YOU. AND I HAVE TO GO!!!
Where are you, Dragan Sergowicz?
Evidently, I was a murderer now.
By failing to act.
I listened to my conscience to see what it had to say.
I listened for quite a while.
No.
No, it appears I saw no problem with it.
By failing to act, I did something good for myself and Emily.
Morally speaking, it was probably even commendable.
I protected my quality time.
I kept my promise to Katharina to keep Emily away from Dragan's world.
And by the look of things,
I'd never have to worry again about Dragan disrupting my quality time.
Fuck!
