- A guy who sells drugs on the Internet. - He's gone!
That's probably how you imagined it.
But I'm sorry to disappoint you.
That petty criminal there isn't me.
But rather one of my many copycats.
What did the boy do?
Let's see.
He didn't adequately secure his shop's database
from investigators' injection attacks.
And he was constantly bragging about his "part-time job" as a flirting tactic.
Not ideal.
If you're selling large quantities of drugs on the Internet,
there's one thing you should never do...
tell total strangers about it.
Unless, of course, Netflix calls and tells you
they want to do a series about your life.
Good morning!
- What's that book? - My welcome-back gift.
"Moritz: Skype later?"
- Marie! - "Lisa: No, I can't."
Is this your whole WhatsApp history?
Yes. From the year that she was gone.
How creepy is that?

Goodbye, come back safe.
CALLING
Hey! Welcome back to the land of limited opportunities!
- Thanks. - Wow, you look wrecked.
- Same old Moritz. Thank you! - Please, no phones here.
If I'm gone, they've found the bomb.
Yeah, I just wanted to ask when I can give you your welcome-home present?
Moritz, our connection's really bad. Can we just talk later?
Wait. Okay. Now it's better.
I was going to give it to you at the airport, but...
- So, young lady, hello? - ...since the flight was so delayed,
- I thought... - Wait a second.
We have to look in here, too.
Here. Have fun.
There's nothing inside.
Is everything okay?
I wanted to talk about this later in person, but...
Please end the conversation now.
Please, this is really important!
Well...
You know...
I think I need some time to myself right now.
It has nothing to do with you, I...
It's just, I'm more scared now of coming back
than I was of leaving a year ago.
So I...
Maybe for now, could we take a break?
- Hang up and close the suitcase. - Sorry.

Hi, I am Moritz Zimmermann.
I'm 17 years old
and this is my generation.
Generation Z.
Everyone here has the entirety of mankind's knowledge in their pockets.
They could become famous with a single click,
or change the world without leaving their bedroom.
Limitless technological possibilities.
And what do we do with it? Face swap!
No one tries to be special anymore. And why should they?
Online, you can pretend you have the most exciting life in the world,
- when in reality... - Shit!
Well...
And because I don't go along with it, I'm an outsider.
Fine with me. After all, everyone successful used to be a nerd.
Guys like us, who everyone saw as losers
until eventually it clicks, and they prove everyone wrong.
- Are you coming? - This, by the way, is the day
it clicked for me.
If I log in to her account, that means we don't trust each other anymore.
You tell your best friend that your girlfriend dumped you
only after hours of cross-examination, and you're talking about trust?
We're just taking a break!
Google says that "taking a break" is breaking up for cowards.
Maybe you should just forget about her for a few months.
- Are you even listening to me? - Yes.
Now we can finally really bust our asses for MyTems.
Then when we're millionaires, Lisa will come running back.
That's how women are.
Yeah, maybe.
Or she has someone new.
- Who's that? - Dan?
Dan, the guy who supplies half the school with drugs.
The brother of Melanie, with the tits.
You know Melanie with the tits, right?
Since when does Lisa hang out with guys like that?
Tall, handsome, popular. Yeah, not really her type.
Right.
"Daniel Riffert. Goes by 'Dan.'"
Eighteen years old. Goes around shirtless, even in April.
What a dipshit.
His father played for the national team for about two seconds.
His mom manages the Rinseln Savings Bank.
Typical rich kid.
But his parents want him to earn his own money like they did.
The perfect family.
He spent six weeks in South America last summer.
Of course he did. Super intense time.
Life-changing experiences.
Does Capoeira and goes jogging five times a week.
But not as fast as you'd think.
He's gluten intolerant, uses too many emoticons,
and likes realgrumpycat and the national team on Facebook.
What an asshole. And...
Fucking Rinseln. No reception again.
Let's just focus on the pitch, okay?
Otherwise, I'll want to "take a break," too.
Hey, Moritz.
We're sitting over there.
Moritz? Hello?!
- What? - I spent 689 hours
programming what is likely the most advanced, most secure,
and hottest online shop system in the world.
So?
It has the password stored for the MyTems shop and everything else on my server.
In case I...
In case he dies.
That's the thing about Lenny.
According to his doctors, he should be dead by now.
So he stopped asking his doctors about it.
The PIN is the date we first had the idea for MyTems.
- Okay. - What do you mean, "Okay"?
I give you the key to my Sistine Chapel, and you just say "Okay"?
- Okay. - This pitch is really important to me!
Don't fuck it up!
Just so I understand correctly,
there are people who pay real money for computer game swords?
Obviously! How else would you kill a Level 100 Blood Elf Paladin?
It's true. One billion people across the globe
play online games such as World of Warcraft...
League of Legends, or Fortnite.
And that's our big opportunity.
We're the eBay for online gamers.
The eBay for online gamers! Wow!
INNOVATION COMPETITION
Yes.
Until now, if you wanted to trade rare items
or successful accounts for online games,
you had to go into shady Darknet forums
somewhere between drugs, real weapons, and freak sex.
We proudly present... MyTems!
Trade game items online.
Looking for a chromatic sword?
Only a total moron would pass that up.
Sorry. That was your time. Thank you very much.
Wait a second, please. We'll take a quick photo, okay?
Next will be "I love Rinseln," 7B.
And smile!
Great. Keep it up!
And breathe!
Has he already contacted you?

This happens to be the expression you make
when you realize that you don't know your own girlfriend anymore.
For those of you who, like me at that point,
don't have a clue what those pills are, and what's in them,
put your phone down and listen to Lenny's mother.
It will be important later.
Everyone else can press the "skip" button.
Methylenedioxy-N-methylamphetamine, or MDMA for short,
is the main psychoactive agent in the party drug ecstasy.
The pills come in all shapes and colors.
And they all have different additives and MDMA contents.
In the best case, it keeps you up all night,
in the worst case, it lands you in the emergency room.
The effects set in after about 20 minutes.
Your brain releases huge quantities of serotonin, noradrenaline and dopamine,
which means, your body produces pure bliss.
Your blood pressure rises, you're awake, attentive and extremely empathetic.
You experience every feeling more intensely.
Freedom, tenderness, love.
And the downside?
How do you think you'd feel the next morning
after your brain has blown its entire supply of happiness hormones?
Do you maybe want to dip your toes in, or is it your time of the month again?
Say hi to Lenny. I can give you two a ride home, by the way.
What are you two doing here? Get moving.
LISA'S CHATS
LISA: YOU'RE OFFICIALLY INVITED TO MY PARTY.
DAN: YEAH - WHEN AND WHERE?
DAN:?
LISA: SORRY; ONLY JUST READ IT.
LISA: NO. 13 WURZELBUSCH AVENUE
LISA: TODAY, 8 P.M.
LISA: THE PILLS ARE YOUR TICKET TO GET IN.
Okay, last few minutes!
One, two, three.
Hey, I just messaged you.
I'll get some. I'm meeting my secret source today anyway.
Well, it's the only source in Rinseln.
Lisa, can we talk a second?
- Hi. - Hey, I'm Dan.
- Yes, I know. - And you are?
Moritz.
Lisa's boyfriend.
Wow, crazy. I thought you were...
- We're taking a break. - We're taking a break.
Can we talk?
Okay, everyone get changed!
I gotta go, sorry. See you later.
Yeah, okay.
See you around, Maurice!
Yes, I know. The swimsuit is distracting.
But can we concentrate on the facts for a moment?
My girlfriend is throwing a welcome-back party I'm not invited to.
And she didn't ask me, but rather the good-looking school dealer,
to get drugs for everyone.
And to keep an eye on them!
It's annoying, you have to re-calibrate and heat the printing bed every time.
Why?
Because of warping, men!
You're totally clueless!
When you're done, put the 3D-printer back.
And when you want to use it again, ask the man with the magic key.
Lenny? I need your help.
Just on a scale of 1 to 10,
how little does it matter to you that you drove MyTems off a cliff
because all you could think about was Lisa?
You ran here?
I guess it really is important to you.
- I have a cramp! - Lift your arms.
- What a pussy! - You just focus on your dick.
It's about Lisa.
I really need your help.
If it doesn't work out, I'll never mention her again. I promise.
We'll figure it out with MyTems.
Okay, pick me up at my house with your car in two hours.
What's the plan?
Good question, Lenny.
The plan...
to win back my girlfriend by making sure that Daniel Riffert
shows up at the party empty-handed.
- That's your plan? - Yes.
Okay, Moritz. How sure are you?
Fifty-five.
You're only 55 percent sure that Daniel buys his drugs here?
Look, Lenny.
Daniel posts all his jogging results.
He always runs at five p.m., the same route every time.
But on Mondays, he stops at this pizzeria... Cavalli...
for about one hour.
- Maybe he goes riding here. - Riding?
There's not a single horse on his Instagram.
Moritz, it's a pizzeria. Carbs!
- Cheat day? - That's what I thought at first, too.
But after that, he runs for 45 minutes at eight miles an hour.
Then he picks it up here and eats it later.
Cold pizza? After running through half of Rinseln with it?
Besides, he lives by Pinocchio Pizza, and it has five stars on Yelp.
Okay, Sherlock.
And that’s enough for you to go in there and order a pizza a la MDMA?
Wait. I'm not finished.
Daniel fucking Riffert, Mr. Perfect, is allergic to gluten.
Okay, good point.
And if anything goes wrong, I have something of a Plan B.
Okay, all set.
Can I help you?
Where is that in Italy?
- That's Albania! - Nice.
I actually...
Everything on the table is one euro.
I heard that you...
that you sell ecstasy.
That you sell ecstasy.
- Fuck off. - Yeah, okay.
I'd really like to buy some from you.
Let's just say I had what you want.
Give me one reason why I should sell it to you.
Because for one...
And secondly, I don't know you.
- So, it's... - And third...
you don't look like someone who's ever had any fun in his life.
My girlfriend Lisa...
just came back from a year in the US.
And she's totally changed.
Maybe it's the tap water over there. I've heard they pump it full of hormones.
Anyway, now she's back
and she wants a break from our relationship.
She's suddenly into party drugs and a guy who's way better looking than me.
Not that Lisa cares about that, but...
it does make you think...
as a young man.
So I thought as a welcome-back gift, I could get her some ecstasy.
To show her that now I'm open to all kinds of fun.
And because I'm convinced that it's the best way to win her back.
Right?
How much do you want?
All of it.
I wish I were invited to that party.
Here. That's all I got.
But I'll need another five of those bills.
Would it be okay if I brought the rest of the money later?
- No problem. - Yeah?
- Sure. - Really?
Of course not! Now fuck off. Go back to Mommy.
ALL OK IN THERE?
PLAN B
Are you fucking insane?
- Did you just...? - It's too late.
The photo's already on the cloud.
IMAGE WILL BE SENT TO CONTACTS
If I'm not out of here in two minutes,
that photo will be sent to all my Facebook friends.
Including the GPS coordinates
and an explanation of how you earn your living here.
Bullshit.
You have 100 seconds.
You just made a big mistake. A very big mistake.
You have to understand, this is an absolute emergency.
I'll pay you the rest of the money very soon.
Promise.
He believed that?
I didn't know you were such a good liar.
- I could have programmed it for real. - Sure.
But you don't have any Facebook friends.
So, Mr. Zimmermann, did you shoot anyone yet this week?
No, not this week, for a change.
But you know, police work is like fishing, actually.
They're always biting for one guy...
DAN: LOOKING FORWARD TO IT
...but for the other guy they don't bite.
DAN: HAD SOMETHING LEFT...
Moritz.
But the thing is that...
the fish don't bite for one guy
so that the other guy can catch them.
DAN: TICKETS! CHECK.
Do you understand?
No one really knows what's going on under the water.
Marie! Are you coming?
LIVE - 6 VIEWERS
So, boys... what's going down this evening?
You know your son.
We're going to Lisa's party. We'll supply all the drugs,
and a bus full of hookers is coming at midnight.
Lenny, you're such a character.
MR. ZIMMERMANN, I HAVE SOME INFORMATION...
Moritz, that's enough.
- What did we say? - No phones at the table.
Exactly.
I don't want linguine!
You know what? Let it ring. We're eating dinner.
- What if it's important? - We never get important calls!
- Answer it! - Answer it yourself!
Text message received.
Hello, Mr. Zimmermann.
I have some interesting information for you.
We don't know each other
but Daniel Riffert sells ecstasy to students here at our school.
He's carrying drugs on him right now.
He is currently doing Capoeira training at No. 12, Witt Street.
Wow, he's really hot!
- ...received on Monday... - Don't you have to go there?
"Imminent danger" or whatever?
To be honest, I didn't understand where it is.
Capoeira. It's a martial art.
- Twelve Witt Street. - Go get him, Dad!
Finally a bite!
Ute, we just got an anonymous tip.
Violation of the Narcotics Act.
Are you sure you want to give that as a gift?
And where did you even get the money for it?
Moritz, I asked you a question!
- From our project account. - What?
From the MyTems account.
- I'll pay it back. - Dude, are you insane?
- Lenny. - Hi, Fritzi.
Moritz! What are you doing here?
- Aren't you and Lisa...? - What's Daniel doing here?
Same thing he always does. Look good, talk, and hand out drugs.
He's been bragging all night that he was almost arrested.
But they couldn't prove anything.
He even sent around a selfie he took with a cop. Look.
But they only found four pills on him.
I already saw that.
So that you can understand how important all this is to me,
ever since the day my mother left me sitting here in Rinseln,
Lisa has been the only woman in my life that means something to me.
Mo, hi!
Feel my skin, it's really soft.
Feel it, really.
Can you come with me? Forget that jerk for a second.
I brought you something.
Relax, okay?
Here.
- Come on. - Hey!
I'm responsible for them.
Your negative vibes will give them a bad trip,
and I'll have to clean up the mess.
Yeah.
What would we do without him?
Daniel Riffert.
With his protein shakes and his stupid Capoeira,
and his constant shirtless photos
and 1,764 Instagram followers,
half of which are bought.
Yeah what are you looking at?
Namaste to all the Riffert fans at the click farm in India!
But you know what?
We smart people aren't impressed by that.
What's your point?
Lisa and I are going to the US after we graduate.
Wow.
To study. Together.
And start careers.
And you know what happens to super-popular guys like you?
What?
In a few years, you'll be collecting dry cleaning for guys like me.
Asshole.
What makes you think that you of all people
will ever achieve anything?
If I understood her properly, it wasn't just your own mother who left you.
Even your girlfriend has realized that you don't have any balls.
Oh, right, I mean your ex-girlfriend.
Okay, people, the party continues.
Yeah, I know.
Right now I look like the guy who will pick up the dry cleaning for Daniel.
Let me know next time you use our money to buy drugs for your girlfriend!
I thought we were a team!
The money will be back on our account in three days! I promise!
FOR THE "FRESHLY BAKED" MYTEMS-CEO LOVE, MOM
But like I said...
And click.
