Fuck off. I'll kill all of you!
Don't fucking touch me, you stupid cunt!
Dragan is dead, you idiots!
How stupid are you? It's obvious! You brain-dead bitch!
- Shut up! - Piece of--
When you feel panic take over,
focus in on one individual point. This is your anchor.
- It won't stay. - Think of something.
- Boris made himself clear. - You may feel resistance
- when your desires contradict your values. - Wish we had a big needle.
A knitting needle through one cheek, out the other.
When you start feeling afraid, focus on the present.
Just take a deep breath in, and then let it out.
Get ready, guys. We're close.
MURDER MINDFULLY
It was going to be a busy day. I felt the pressure as soon as I woke up.
I could be grateful that two of my issues were resolved.
Emily was still set for kindergarten,
and Toni was still ready to be delivered to Boris.
At the same time, I needed to cool off Nicole,
who'd grown way too enthusiastic about this case.
But my real make-or-break moment was still to come.
I somehow had to appease the terrifyingly alive Boris,
who wished to see the decidedly dead Dragan.
A conundrum, if you will.
POLICE
My plan wasn't entirely risk-free, and there was a chance it'd fail.
But it was my only hope of solving this insane mess.
It could work.
Or I could be dead in a ditch by the end of the day.
I was too jittery to sit around doing mindfulness breathing all day,
so I decided to distract myself with more single-tasking.
First, I wanted to move into my new office space,
which was in the same building as Emily's day care center.
The fact that this belonged to my client, who was also dead,
was a positive secondary benefit.
Just like the fact that the day care center should help me
with my problem with Nicole.
AGREEMENT
I got my furniture arranged, and drew up a contract between me and Dragan,
one with excellent conditions.
I then informed the bar association about my new address.
I took out some liability insurance, opened bank and business accounts,
and thereby became self-employed.
My first act as a newly-minted independent contractor
was to hit up the store for some retail therapy.
I needed one last tool to keep Boris from killing me.
You've reached Klaus Möller.
Leave a message at the beep.
Hey, Nicole! Does 3 p.m. work for you?
At my new office, second floor, above the day care center.
Mm-hm.
Slowly.
Keep going. Keep going.
Here.
Um, have you seen Möller around today?
He's just disappeared.
- Agnieszka's parents' live there. - Yeah, I'm aware. Why are we here?
Not we. You.
You're gonna cross the street, ring your future father-in-law's doorbell,
and tell him you're done shacking up, hm?
How come?
Let's see. Because you're in love.
And also, most married men, statistically speaking,
are much less likely to commit crimes.
But mostly,
because I told you to, hm?
Wait right here.
For Agnieszka's papa,
and for her mama.
- Wait up. That truck's zooming towards us. - Hm?
Oh, it's still pretty far away.
Not for long.
We can experience pain in two ways.
There's the initial, acute pain…
…and the pain we feel each time we prod our wounds.
We can't make it so the wound never happened.
But if we can stop reopening our wounds, and just let them heal,
we'll find that we can move on far more quickly.
I needed to stop Nicole from picking at the wound.
It was time to break out the bandages.
Thank you for meeting with me.
Yeah.Gladly. Any time.
Listen, Nicole, I, um…
Well, I've been meaning to talk with you in private.
Because I believe you've sent yourself down the wrong track.
Oh, yeah?
- What is this here? - It's a belt buckle.
Our divers found it in the lake at Dragan's place.
Looks new.
And it matches the one Dragan was wearing in the parking lot video.
- Isn't that wild? - Hm.
Must be the same brand.
Come on now.
Nicole, these are mass-produced.
So, you don't think it's odd we found it in the same town
where we located a severed ring finger, too?
And where Dragan's lake house is.
And where you just took a trip with your kid.
That's why I wanted to talk with you today, Nicole.
I'm not coming to you as Dragan's lawyer.
I'm here as an old friend who cares about your well-being.
- What's your angle here, man? - You see?
That's what I'm saying.
You're suspicious to a fault.
You're convinced that everybody's hiding something,
and I wonder if that could be because of me, somehow.
Or because of us.
We have a past, after all.
Björn, don't be crazy.
You can't really mean that.
Hm.
Wish I didn't.
I'd be hard-pressed to think of a better reason that someone
would go interrogate my daughter.
You crossed a line, friend, but the only reason I'm keeping my cool,
and I barely am,
is that I'm worried about you, okay?
Do you really think that I killed a man I've known for years,
let alone while my daughter was there?
You know me.
- I never said that you did that. It-- - You've sure implied it.
I mean… scouring the whole lake…
…wasting your resources, only to find a mass-produced belt buckle?
Yeah, Björn, that's what we call police work.
Right, I may not be on the force,
but it just strikes me as a tad inefficient
to spend all that time chasing such a lukewarm lead.
Why are you hung up on making a case out of nothing?
Hm?
Why put yourself through all that?
Dragan Sergovicz
has gone off the grid.
I can't tell you where he is because I don't know that, okay?
But what I do know is,
how it feels when you're overwhelmed by life.
The pressure to succeed when you're at work…
Then you get to your house, and the stress just mounts,
I've been there.
You feel pulled apart.
On top of that, you're a single mom.
LIKE A FISH IN WATER DAY CARE
What is that?
An acceptance letter from a day care nearby.
Downstairs, in fact.
I put in a good word for you.
You know I can't accept that, Björn.
Yes, you can, Nicole.
If you would just stop seeing the bad in everything.
Come on.
Do me a favor and mull it over, at least.
Hello, Katharina.
Hi, Björn. How's it going?
Oh, ya know, good.
I'm getting my new office set up.
How are you?
Mmm…
I got the job.
- No way! Really? - Yeah.
- That's amazing! I'm so happy for you. - Thanks!
But I thought we should talk because they want me to start next week.
They said that they knew it was kind of a big ask,
uh, but they need me to come for some onboarding.
Sure, yeah, that all makes sense.
It means we've gotta start kindergarten next week.
Yeah, well, we have the spot.
She'll need a parent there to start.
Ah… Oh, yeah, okay.
I guess I can make it work.
Wait, for real?
Sure. I think next week should be pretty quiet on my end.
Okay, cool. Wow.
Katharina wasn't wrong.
Thanks to the magic of single-tasking,
I'd knocked out all my personal issues and general housekeeping tasks.
Unfortunately, I now had to deal with my professional problems,
which were matters of life and death.
It was time to face the music.
DEATH
I'll be right down.
You'll be sorry!
I'll kill you all!
Fuck you, lawyer! You're a shithead!
I contacted Plura at the incineration plant.
He's waiting for you. Okay?
Fuck off. I'll kill all of you!
Don't fucking touch me, you stupid cunt! Dragan is dead, you idiots!
- Jesus! - So obvious, brain-dead bitch!
- Piece of-- - Shut the fuck up!
Fuck!
- I'm gonna kill you! - Stanni!
You piece of--
Okay, pal.
Sweet dreams.
All right.
- Lift him up. - He's heavy. Okay.
Come on.
Shit. It won't stay.
- Well, think of something. - No chance.
- Boris made himself damn clear. - What if… we tack it?
- Mm-mm. - I wish we had a big needle.
Apple in his mouth,
then a knitting needle through one cheek, through the apple, and then out the other.
Hang on a sec.
Hold it tight.
Okay, do you have him? There.
That's okay, right?
Perfect.
- Get ready, guys. - Yeah.
We're close now.
Boris.
Good to see you. Dragan sends his warm regards.
And he apologizes that things have gotten so out of hand here.
What's with the phone? You want me to call Dragan with that?
What kind of man won't meet face-to-face?
Must have lost his balls.
No, I feel like you'll want to see this.
The plan was to go blow up Dragan, Igor, and
that big fella over there.
It was supposed to get pinned on Boris.
Toni'd take the crown, and Murat his number two.
But then that fucking school bus screwed it all up.
So it's Toni.
Where is the man from video? He should be here.
Well, Toni kicked him to death, so he's indisposed.
Hmm.
Dragan has killed my number two,
and in return, he brings me his.
That's fair, huh?
Yeah.
Uh-huh.
Good job, guys.
Vladimir.
Take his pants off.
Uh… Um, so… So, does this mean we're still…
Well, yeah.
When I say something, I follow through, lawyer.
But who's gonna pull out the pins? I mean…
Don't worry, I've got a backup in place. You see?
- Ah. - Vladimir.
Get this fucker out of my sight.
Um…
Anyone want to say a few words?
Maybe close our eyes or… Oh.
What?
That was Toni.
Damn, it's a drone!
Vladimir, shoot it down.
POLICE
It's a goddamn police drone!
- Bastards! - Were we filmed?
We're so fucked.
That won't do anything!
I'm sure they saved the footage on some server.
Are we going? We staying? The fuck we doing?
We can't just hang around here waiting to get arrested.
- Let's roll out! Now! - He's right.
Hurry up, man.
Hey! Wait a sec!
Let's think this through.
If the police recorded everything,
they have proof that Boris blew up Toni just now, yes?
Boris, you need to go into hiding for a while.
And where should I go?
- You wanted to see Dragan. - Mm.
His hideout is super secure. We'll go to him.
Okay.
Okay, lawyer, you'll bring me to Dragan. We'll take my car, though.
The rest of you should scram. Give him the keys.
Lawyer!
Will the big man be okay with this? It's Boris, after all.
Dragan is on board.
Come on!
- Hurry, let's go! - Come on!
Go!
What's that for?
There may not be leg room, but it's for the best.
Nobody can know Dragan's location. It's for his safety.
And for yours too.
Boris, I'm afraid you'll have to do this. The cops are coming.
It's the trunk or a jail cell.
Okay, lawyer.
You bring me straight to Dragan, you understand?
Yeah. You'll see Dragan soon.
The point of mindfulness
is to focus on what really matters.
It's about living life with your eyes fully open.
Now, there are times you'll need to take a break
to rest and recharge.
It's important you recognize these times as they arise, and slow down.
When we return to life refreshed, we may seem… awakened.
Don't resist these changes.
All you have to do is breathe in.
Let your life flow on.
- Papa, what are we breathing for? - Didn't it help?
Mm-mm.
Oh! Hey, you. Mornin', boss.
Mm.
So, whaddaya say? Shall we?
- Mm-hm. - Good.
Mm-hm.
Man, you're heavy.
- So, where are we going? - Hyah! Faster, horsey! Giddy up!
Faster? Where to?
- That way! - This way?
- Higher? - Mm-hm.
Bye!
Whoa!
Bye, sweetheart.
Bye.
Wanna say bye?
Still take it black?
Yes, I do.
Thank you.
I owe you an apology. I guess I did go too far.
I'm sorry I involved Emily.
It's all good.
We're still searching for Dragan though.
Yeah, I know.
Mm-hm.
So, hey, you remember my colleague, um, Möller, don't you?
Uh… yeah.
He died in a freak car accident.
- While working? - Oh, no, in Poland.
Oh. So awful.
The whole thing was really weird. Um…
It was, mm, right by his common law wife's parents' house.
Weird, right?
I think he must've gone to ask for Agnieszka's hand.
Hmm. More tragic than weird, I'd say.
Yeah.
The weirder part is, um…
Well, it seems when we searched his phone,
the last number he called belongs to Toni.
Nicole.
Don't start this again.
Well, that was just a gut feeling.
Nicole.
When you're taking your son to day care,
then bring your son to day care.
When you're searching for a non-existent killer,
then search for your non-existent killer.
- Okay? Do me a favor. - Mm-hm.
Set work aside.
When you're at day care, just breathe
and focus on your son, leave the search at home.
What's with the philosophy?
It's just mindfulness.
Mindfulness means focusing on this moment.
- Hmm. - All right.
Shall we practice?
What?
That's enough. Over here.
Oh, yeah, I mean, I am… taking my kid to day care.
Nice work.
And welcome to Like a Fish in Water.
