Episode 113

Translated by Carrie ; edited by Lied

 

(Previously on Hand aufs Herz)

 

Ben: You can’t search him as long as you’re not allowed to leave the country. But I can! That’s why I will fly to Australia and find Jens for you!

 

Caro: I’ll have a baby from you. You promised to stick by me.

Ben: I think to get a little distance wouldn’t be too bad.

 

Bea: I will go there.

Michael: To the funeral?

Bea: Yes!

Michael: Bea, this really is no good idea! Your presence will also be regarded as provocation.

 

Alexandra: Chuck this murderer out!

 

 

[Intro]

 

[At the funeral]

Bea: Uh, I..um..

Alexandra: Back off! Out!

Julian: Come!

Julian grabs Bea and they leave the church.

Julian: Are you out of your mind?

Bea: No!

Julian: Why do you show up here?

Bea: To say goodbye to Franziska! Just like everybody else!

Julian: Don’t you think that’s rather cynical?

Bea: I don’t have anything to do with her death!

Julian: So you say! The criminal investigations are still in progress.

Bea: Yes! And you and Alexandra act as if they are completed. And I’m found guilty. But it isn’t like that!

Julian: That’s only a question of time!

Bea: What gives you that idea?

Julian: After the only witness for your exoneration did incriminate herself for a false statement the air is getting rare for you!

Bea: Ah! Sure! You gave the farewell letter of Mrs. Krawczyk to the police!

Julian: What did you think? That I will cover up for you?

Bea: I’m not guilty! And I will prove that!

Julian: Fine! Then you better immediately hit the road for that…and make off!

 

 

[Pestalozzi, hallway]

Luzi: Gosh, she looked really worn-out!

Timo: Yes, but yesterday I think we managed to really cheer her up with our song!

Luzi: Nevertheless I wouldn’t want to be in her shoes.

Timo: Yes, it’s really extreme how she got roped into that. But I don’t think that she has something to do with it!

Emma: Yeah, imagine she will go to jail. Innocent!

Luzi: That’s why we have to show her that we stand by her!

Timo: Well, and how?

Luzi: By going on with the rehearsals! And we also have to prepare the audition for “Sister Act”!

Timo: Yes, keep the AG going, no matter what Götting says. Even without the auditorium!

Hotte keeps looking at Emma

Emma: What?

Hotte: Nothing?!

Emma: Well, then stop staring at me like that! I get the jitters!

Hotte: You are looking at me the whole time!

Emma’s face! What the-? In which dream is he living now?

Hotte:Don’t try and kid me!

Emma groans bugged.

Timo(chuckles): Well! What do we want to sing at “Sister Act”? A gospel?

Luzi: Hey Ben! Just wait a moment! (going over to Ben)Thank you for allowing us to rehearse at your place!

Ben: Well…

Luzi: Maybe we can do that regularly?

Ben: What?

Luzi:Well, rehearse?

Ben: To be honest, any time soon it’s rather bad!

Luzi: Okay...

Ben: I’m sorry, really! At the moment there is a lot going on!

Luzi: No problem. It was just a question.

(coming back to the others)

Emma: Because of Caro?

Timo: Hmmh... We’ll find a solution. And I think I already have an idea!

 

 

 

[Pestalozzi, Michael’s office]
(Some guy-student has searched for advice from Michael and is about to leave, when Caro bursts in.)

 

Michael: Well. I would say we talk to Mr. Richter once again and then…

Caro: We have to talk!

Michael: …then we will manage this somehow! Hello Caro, could you please close the door! That would be very delightful!

Caro(to the guy): Gosh! Pack off! (It’s me, Caro Eichkamp. Center of the world. Future mother of evil spawn. Schemer extraordinaire. I’m having serious business to talk about with this oblivious wanna-be, in contrast to you little loser. So get out! -- As good in throwing people out of offices as throwing them out of ‘her’ girl's-restroom. She should take a career as bouncer into consideration!)

Michael: What can I do for you?

Caro: Ben wants to go to Australia! He just leaves me in the lurch! I’m pregnant and the father of my baby just scrams! This ass-hole! What shall I do now?

Michael: First calm down and sit down! Do you want to drink something?

Caro: I don’t want to drink anything; I want a father for my child! (Are you interested? Last proposal I got were 100.000€, and Bea Vogel really has nothing on me. Murder-charges pff, with me you can worry about a child that’s not yours, but Stefan Bergmann’s - if that doesn’t spell out T.R.O.U.B.L.E then I don’t know what is, a fake kidnapping, harassment of at least 73% of the school population - students AND teachers, me being always all up in your business, jealousy attacks when kissing other people and still clinging to you like there’s no tomorrow, an excellent talent for passive AND active-aggressiveness...I could go on, but I think there’s an actual scene that we’re supposed to act out here..So to sum it up, me and my baby are a great catch! )

Michael: Yes! Of course! What does Ben plan?

Caro: He wants to find this guy! The boy-friend of the dead girl. Well, Mrs. Lohmanns’s sister. I did find the ticket for the day after tomorrow and confronted Ben with it. He wants to prove Bea Vogel’s innocence. As if we haven’t enough problems!

 

 

 

[Pestalozzi, secretariat]

Ingrid: Lost? What a pity! But we’ll manage it! I search for the form for a new student card.

Timo: You’re a gem, Ms. Jäger! (Lucy’s glancing round the corner) This blouse is new?

Ingrid: No?!

Timo: It suits you fantastically! I mean it accentuates your eyes! They really sparkle!

Ingrid: What’s the point of that?

Timo: Why? (SUBTLE-flriting, Timo. Go take a lesson from Jenny.)

Ingrid: Timo, what do you really want from me?

Timo: Ehm, the student card? And the key for the auditorium?

Ingrid: That’s impossible! You know what the principal has said!

Timo: Yes, but we need a piano!

Ingrid: Only with a supervisor! You know what Mr. Götting will do to me, if I’ll do that?

Timo:Götting is at the funeral, he isn’t here. He won’t even notice! We have to rehearse for Sister Act! And for Ms. Vogel!We have to fight to show that we’re on her side! On which side are you, Ms. Jaeger? Mmh?

Ingrid: Okay! If Götting catches you, I will say that you have stolen it, okay!

Timo: Thank you! And the blouse really suits you!

 

 

[Pestalozzi, Michael’s office]

Michael: Did he tell you how he wants to find this Jens Mirbach? I mean others before him did try this. Professionals! Unavailingly! (Well, they just did not find him, yet, since they did not ask Hotte and his Ouija board. God, Amateurs! – There’s a comic of 'The Magic Cops’ appearing in front of my eyes now. Hotte, Jenny and Emma in the fight of crime.)

Caro: Ben wants to pinch your girlfriend and you worry about that? I don’t give a shit for this Jens Mirbach!

Michael: I think you shouldn’t overrate this whole situation!

Caro: No, to the contrary! You don’t seem to understand the seriousness of the situation!

Michael: Yes, I do! And I can understand that this whole subject stirs you up! Especially in this delicate situation.

Caro: They kissed! Ben and Mrs. Vogel! Yesterday after the AG, I watched it!

Michael: Caro, please! It wouldn’t be the first time that you broadcast untruths! So spare me that!

Caro: Why should I do that? Which reason should I have? I want Ben!

Michael: Yes, I finish this conversation at that point!

Caro: You don’t understand?!

Michael: Well, I do! Talk to your boy-friend! That’s the only thing I can advise you!

Caro: You should talk to your girl-friend! That’s what I advise you!

 

 

 

[Church]

Bea is entering the church and there is Mrs. Klein sitting

Bea: Mrs. Klein!

Mrs. Klein: Hello!

Bea: Hello!

Mrs. Klein: Well, I thought it’s my duty as member of the parents’ council. Eventually the death of Franziska Lohmann concerns the whole school. And since Sophie also has vanished…

Bea: She still hasn’t turned up?

Mrs. Klein: No!

Bea: Certainly she is doing well and…

Mrs. Klein: Yes, certainly! I think so, too. Well, I’ve got to go now! Bye! (leaving)

Bea: Bye!

Bea gets up and walks to Franziska’s picture in the front of the church.

Bea:I never should have condemned you! What has happened back then?

 

 

 

[Pestalozzi, Auditorium]

Luzi: At least we didn’t unlearn anything. But it’s not good enough for Sister Act.

Emma: It will be difficult without Mrs. Vogel.

Timo: What if we just try something else? I mean. Your last proposal “Son of a Preacher man” was great!

Luzi: Will you manage the leading-voice?

Emma just shrugs her shoulders, … //Look at how flabbergasted and surprised she is that her idea and her voice got chosen, and at the same time she’s looking so happy and proud that the others trust and believe in her. Hach, can’t wait for her to finally really start to believe in herself :)

Luzi:Well, we just try it!

Emma still looking so…hach…and cute and all smiles!


*leans back, gets popcorn -
awesomeness about to occur* - How we’re just living for these small moments to pull at our heart! :)

 

STAG performing “Son of a preacher man”

Billy-Ray was a Preacher's son,
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along,
When they gathered round and started talking,
That's when Billy would take me walking,
Through the back yard we'd go walking,
Then he'd look into my eyes,
Lord knows to my surprise:

The only one who could ever reach me,
Was the son of a preacher man,

Michael comes along, looking at his phone, thinking of calling Bea

The only boy who could ever teach me,
Was the son of a preacher man,
Yes he was, he was, oh yes he was.

And there is…*drum roll*

Jenny: They really have it down pat, mmh?

*Ka-tsching!*

Michael: What?

Jenny: Well, they!

 

EMMA!!!:Being good isn't always easy,

Michael: Yes! Yes, they are great!

Shut up Michael, I want to listen to Emma!!!

 

No matter how hard I tried, (Yeah, be bad, Emma. Be bad and kiss girls! Preferably the one at the door! She’s right there. Just go!)

 

Michael: Sorry!

Finally he’s leaving, so we can concentrate on Emma!

When he started sweet talking to me,
he'd come tell me everything is alright,
he'd kiss and tell me everything is alright,
Can I get away again tonight?

Haaach! I’m melting away!- Ehm, for sure Jenny is thinking that! ;)

The only one who could ever reach me,
Was the son of a preacher man,
The only boy who could ever teach me,
Was the son of a preacher man,
Yes he was, he was, oh yes he was.

Emma looks through the glass panels and there is – Jenny!

 

Ashy smile, blushing, looking down – it’s Emma!

 

But also our self-assured Jenny is suddenly putting down her arms, looking a bit like “Oh, you’ve got me there!” /// Yes, I think this gesture is her opening herself up for Emma. Standing tall and proud with a racing heart – you caught me there, but that’s okay. The opening of her arms is really an automatic reaction here. She wants Emma to see her open, not cold and closed off with her arms crossed, like the person Emma believes she is. She’s open and ready for Emma’s looks to take her heart for a spin, enjoying the feeling.

 

Emma risks another glance and – no Jenny! Disappointment creeps in!

/// Do you believe that Jenny left a bit disappointed, because Emma looked away? Imagine she would have stayed and seen that second look!

How well I remember,
the look that was in his eyes,
Stealing kisses from me on the sly,
Taking time to make time,
Telling me that he's all mine,
Learning from each others knowing,
Looking to see how much we'd grown.

The only one who could ever reach me,
Was the son of a preacher man,
The only boy who could ever teach me,
Was the son of a preacher man,
Yes he was, he was, oh yes he was.

The only one who could ever reach me,
Was the son of a preacher man…

 

 

[Bergmann villa]

Stefan: You’re packing?

Ben: Well, looks like it!

Stefan: And where does the journey lead you?

Ben: Australia!

Stefan: The day after tomorrow? Mmh! - Why?

Ben: You wouldn’t get it!

Stefan: It’s because of Caro? Or because of the baby?

Ben: No!

Stefan: That figures! It’s barely about responsibility and my son pusses out und runs away!

Ben: You know what? Mind your own business!

Stefan: When will you finally grow up, hm? This idea with the surf-shop, this dream of dropping out – it’s all a pie in the sky!

Ben: Well, great! Cause it isn’t about the surf-shop!

Stefan: But? Come on explain it to me! I can hardly wait!

Ben: I will search this Jens Mirbach! The boy-friend of Franziska Lohmann! Bea is accused wrongly to have murdered somebody. And he’s the only one who knows the truth! I have to do that!

Stefan:Tell me, are you completely out off your mind now? To do such bullshit! In the middle of the school-year!

 

 

[Salle 1]

Miriam: Gosh! Jenny! I explicitly asked you to be in time today!

Jenny: I’m sorry! (I had to stare at Emma a bit. Make the fans proud and happy. Surely, you understand. I saw you wearing that plaid!)

Miriam: We have a funeral party!

Jenny: Yes I know! I’ve had something important to do! ( ;-)))) As we all had! Nothing is more important than watching Emma laugh, except listening to her singing! Who wouldn’t understand!?)

They swamp us completely with work at school at the moment. And because of the different curricula here and in England I have to catch up on in some subjects.

Miriam: School has absolute priority, for sure, but if this here is getting too much for you…

Jenny: No, no…I’ll manage!

Miriam: Unfortunately I’m not under that impression.

Jenny: Hey I want that job by all means and you need help! What shall I do?

 

 

 

 

[Pestalozzi, Auditorium]

And here we are back to the last strains of “Son of a preacherman”

Hotte: Gosh! Emma! That was…

Emma: Yes? (With that unsure, slightly hysteric undertone)

Hotte: Emotional, touching…romantic! (Is he just the tiniest bit falling for his best friend now? ;D Oh wait, they all are. Understandably!)

Timo: Absolutely!

Luzi:And how!

Emotional, touching…romantic??? How? Why? Ehm…I mean I‘ve just thought about…Oh, I don’t want to think about… So …

Emma: Oh shit! I’ve got to go!

All are staring a bit irritated at Emma.

Luzi:Now? (...that we all want to make out with you?)

Emma: The newspaper delivery-job!

Timo: What? In that cold? Have fun!

Emma:Thank you!

Hotte:Ciao?! …Emma on the run!

Timo and Luzi glancing at each other.

Hotte: Timo? Can we continue?

Timo: For sure! After I snatched the key for us heroically!

 

 

 

[Bea’s appartment]

Bea: Hey!

Michael: Hey!

Bea: You were right! I never should have gone to the funeral! As I came Alexandra was just delivering a speech. She nearly charged at me! I should have listened to you! I…I somehow had the desire to say good-bye. I’m sorry! I don’t want to tell you all that. (Alright, that last sentence is all kinds of messed up. Why don’t you just directly say ‘I don’t trust you with it’. Great basis for a relationship.)

Michael: Yes, you should! Tell it to me! Everything!

Bea: What do you mean?

Michael: That I’m glad when you’re honest with me!

Bea: Okay?!

Michael: Fine! So?

Bea: What do you mean?

Michael: Don’t you want to tell me anything? For example, how it was at the Bergmann’s?

Bea: At the Bergmann’s?

Michael: How was your AG-rehearsal at Ben Bergmann’s home?

Bea: The rehearsal was going well!

Michael: Well, wonderful! And the kiss between the two of you? Was it also going well?

 

 

[Pestalozzi, hallway]

Caro: Guess we don’t have to count on ‘the Lohmann’ for the training. Today’s the funeral of her sister. And the teamster also doesn’t show up far and wide! Or have you seen Jenny somewhere?(Uh, hello? Back off! She has more important things at hand. Swooning, staring, dreaming, dropping plates....)

Caro’s phone is ringing

Oh! If I hear something I’ll let you know! Meanwhile you can be going on ahead!

(Atthe phone) Caro Eichkamp..

Nurse: Burkard-medical center, nurse Katrin speaking. You asked for an appointment for the abortion.

Caro:Yes.

Nurse: Surprisingly this afternoon one has become available. 15:20.

(Caro is taken aback for a moment. So this is becoming real....)

Nurse:Mrs. Eichkamp?

Caro:Yes, I’m still on the line.

Nurse: You did already have the counseling session!?

Caro:Yes, yes!

Nurse: Then I schedule the appointment?

Caro:Yes, of course.

Nurse: Be mindful of the certificate.

Caro:Yes.

 

 

 

[Saal1]

Miriam: Two cappuccino, a mineral water for you and what can I do for you?

Jenny: Miriam!

Miriam: One moment!

(Hahahaha! Jenny’s face – being cut off lol She’s waaaayyyy too cute being like this, uncertain and unable to do something properly. I’m pretty sure she doesn’t like it ;D )

Götting: A green tea, please!

Miriam: Mhm.

Jenny: Number 3 would like to pay!

Miriam: You can’t butt in on me off-handedly! Just give me a sign! Besides the 3 is your table!

Jenny: Yes, but they kick up a fuss because I accidentally put the Tagliatelle twice on the bill. So, ehm…

Miriam: Okay, I will see to it at once: Then please serve the dinner for Table 2. They already wait for ages. (Our cool Jenny is looking a bit harried.) Oh no Jenny, come on! Here!

Jenny takes the plates and turns around as the door opens. And…smash! And there stands the reason why Jenny is in a complete tizzy!/// Yep, definitely the cutest Jenny of all.

 

 

 

[Bergmann villa]

Caro enters the Villa, overhearing the conversation while walking up the stairs.

 

Stefan: I endorsed over the money to you and Caro so that you can build up an existence! Not that you elope!

Ben: I don’t elope! I come back!

Stefan: Oh, that’s terrific! After you neglect school for weeks and play Crocodile Dundee? (Well, he would look great with his hat *shrug*)

Ben: It was that clear! I’ve never asked for this damn money! And that we don’t get it wrong: with the 100.000 € you haven’t bought a claim to my life! Okay?

Stefan: No! That would be definitely overpaid for a cluster of failure!

 

Caro: Can we talk?

Ben: Bad timing! I need some fresh air or… We’ll talk later!

Stefan: That has become of your fantastic plan!

Caro: I have the 100.000 €. That’s something!

Stefan: Cold as ice! (As if somebody would have another choice with being around him...It’s actually quite smart of Caro.)

 

 

[Salle1]

Miriam cleans up the visible evidence of Jenny’s inner turmoil.

Jenny: Thank you!

Miriam: Jenny…I’m afraid this won’t work! I mean the job overcharges you completely.

Jenny(being quick on her toes): Hey, I know! (she looks at Emma and pulls her to her and I’m getting the impressions that she’s touching her more delicately than before.) What if me and Emma share the job? Mhm? I mean she’s familiar with it and two by two this shall be no problem at all! And the wages we’ll just share!

Miriam: But Emma…I don’t know if the manager has already forgotten the affair with the alarm system!

Jenny: Oh that! That was my fault! Somehow I touched the switch accidentally and…at least I think so…and…I didn’t want to say anything because it was about the job!

Emma: Accidentally! (haha! ‘Accidentally’ is the little brother of ‘Spontaneously’ throwing a well organized birthday party)

Jenny: Mhm!

Miriam: You know what, girls? Actually, I think it’s not such a bad idea with the two of you! (Miriam you’re right! We all agree in that!!!/ Word! ) Then just get a move on here and sort out your problem afterwards!

Jenny: Okay!

 

 

 

[Bea’s appartment]

Michael: Only because I wasn’t by your side once? Just because I was insensitive once, because I had to question something?

Bea: No! I’m sorry! It was a short moment, a weak moment and…It means nothing!

Michael: Obviously it meant enough that you didn’t tell me!

Bea: Because it was a mistake! Because I didn’t want to loose you! You’re really important to me!

Michael: Is Little Bergmann also getting to hear these sentences?

Bea: No!

Michael: Bea! Ben wants to leave for Australia to search this Jens Mirbach!

Bea: I know!

Michael: Caro is in panic because he leaves her alone with the baby!

Bea: I didn’t want all that!

Michael: It’s hard for me to believe you anything at the moment!

Bea: What do you want to tell me with that?

Michael: That I…that I have to get clear about some things now...

Bea: You think that I’m guilty!

Michael looks back but leaves.(Apparently, kissing a student and lying about it is equal to murdering someone...)

 

 

[Burkard-medical center]

Carositting in the waiting room watching an other pregnant woman with her man.

 

Woman:(Some incoherent talking and laughing, then): Well, I’m curious.

Man:Me, too.

Woman:Um, I saw a report about water birth lately.

Man:Water birth?
Woman:Hm, that was really interesting! There was this big pool, and you can lay yourself in there, and it’s totally relaxing and...I can imagine that this could really help me. I’m a bit nervous after all....

 

Flashback

Caro: I never could abort the baby! I’m just that afraid of loosing you!

(remembering the kiss of Bea and Ben)

/Flashback

 

Nurse: Mrs. Eichkamp, please!

(Caro is still lost in thoughtabout this huge step.)

Nurse:Mrs. Eichkamp? We’re ready now!
