Your Honor (2022): Season 1, Episode 4 - Episode #1.4 - full transcript

Judge Michael Jacobi is finding it increasingly difficult to maintain his public impeccability. He has to prevent the frightened car smuggler Zuber from being placed under witness protection and testifying against him. As her long...

Well? What do you think?

Nice fire.

YOUR HONOR

-Hello.
-Good day.

I'm not stupid.

I won't just throw it all out there
until I get something in return.

Sascha, calm down first.

I'm on the hit list. You know that, right?

And you're telling me I should calm down.

I need to know what's going on.
Or how do you see it happening?

What do you want me to do?



What's it called when you get another
name and you move to another country?

-Witness protection program.
-Yeah, that.

-I need that. Do it.
-Sascha.

It's only done for really big cases.

Listen for once. This is a big deal.

I know who gave me the car
and that's a big deal.

Get them to do witness protection.

What is it?

You new duty roster.

Now you'll do what I tell you, believe me.

No, that's not smart.

But we'll work it out.

Really, Franz. We only mean well for you.

You'll see. We'll work it out together.



They found Steindl.

Now they're asking all kinds of questions.

But I took care of it. We're clean.

The police aren't the problem.
It's the twenty kilos.

I have to meet with the Serbs,
those shitheads. It's no use.

Arrange it, Muhr.

There's something else.

It seems your customs officer
didn't understand what he has to do.

Just as stubborn as his father.

What should we do with him?

Remind him one more time.

He has a little house, a family.
A Chinese girl.

He'll come to his senses, I hope.

-They're looking at us.
-Let them.

I'd love to know
what they're talking about right now.

We could give them something...
to talk about.

The bell rang.

Do you want to go in?

No.

Do you?

So when you heard the noises,
you went into your closet,

where your safe is, right?

Please answer loudly and clearly.

Yes.

Then you opened the safe
and took out your firearm.

Yes.

So instead of calling the police,

your first reaction was to grab the gun.

Correct?

Yes.

I'm doing fine.

I sleep like a baby.

Tata.

I've known Uncle Jova all my life.

I know how loyal he is.

He thinks he has everything under control,
but we...

are much more vulnerable than he thinks.

If that's all you came for,
I'll get up and leave now.

I've made sacrifices

that others can't imagine.

Know why I was able to do that?

Because I knew I was doing all this...

not for me,

but for the family.

So that you can have a better life.

People will always call me a criminal.

But I want you to be free.

And your children shall be free too.

No, Tata.

I see the way people look at me.

What they think about me.
How they talk about me.

At the latest when they hear my name.

We'll always be scum to them. Always.

I know what I have to do.

Tata.

Tata!

Tata!

It's exactly what I told you.
He's starting to freak out now.

What if he really has something?

What if there's something to it?

Lisa, he's lying.

He's just panic-stricken.

And that's why he's making up a story
about some big unknown.

And you believe him?

He has nothing to gain by lying.

Did he give you a name? No.

Did he even begin to tell you
what it might be about?

No.

Did he give you any indication at all?

No.

So he doesn't have anything.

He's bluffing.

Didn't you always say that it's
a rookie mistake to demand the realistic?

Lisa, this isn't an academic discussion,
it's a real case.

And you're requesting witness protection.

You can't afford this kind of thing
on your path to the DA's office.

You're probably right.

I'm probably letting this
get under my skin.

Listen to 30 years
of professional experience.

Let it go.

No problem.

We can wait.

Benni, lunch is ready.
Come on down, please.

Benni?

Benni?

Benni?

Benni!

-Benni. Where have you been?
-No need to get excited.

We just went for a little drive.
Right, Benni?

Benni, come here. Come, my darling.

And greetings to papa.

Eva?

I'll be right there.

I have to go.

Where is he?

Asleep.

Eva.

Come here.

We have to go to the police.

Eva, we can't.

What do you mean, "we can't", damn it?

If we tell the police everything,
they'll help us.

They have to protect us, don't they?

Nobody can protect us from these guys.

Mr. Jacobi.

Hello.

A question, if I may?

Yes, of course.

After you, please.

First they said you'd be
the new secretary general,

then they said you wouldn't.

Now I hear you're still in the running?
With respect, which is it?

Why don't you wait and see?

You don't know that I'm also running.

No.

Good for you.

Mr. Jacobi, everybody knows

that you're only in the conversation
because you're friends with the minister.

I've worked my whole life
for this position.

Don't you think it would be proper

to give the job
to someone who really wants it?

Believe me, I'm not in the mood
to deal with your problems right now.

As you like.

In the end, it's a democratic committee
that decides.

Have a nice day.

But please Anton, what is this?

Why is this Zeilinger
suddenly coming into play now?

Don't get so upset, please.

She's just window dressing
for the commission.

-I understood it as a binding offer.
-They need another candidate.

-It's just part of the process.
-Yes, but you should have told me.

Look, Zeilinger is no competition
for you, okay?

I have to hang up now.

I'm really happy you're on board.

We'll push this through.

Did I fall asleep?

You were talking in your sleep.

-Really?
-Yes.

What did I say?

You were angry.

-What did I say?
-You were totally mumbling.

You were also twitching.

Can I ask you something?

How...

How did your mother actually die?

She killed herself.

I'm sorry. Excuse me. I didn't know.

It's been over two years.

That's one of her paintings, by the way.

It's beautiful.

My father took most of them down.

But I like this one.

Yes?

-Good evening, Ms. Kirchner?
-Yes.

-Do you maybe have a second for me?
-And you are...?

Excuse me, Lisa Schwarz.
I'm Mr. Sascha Zuber's lawyer.

For whom you applied
for the witness protection program.

-Please come in.
-Thank you.

My client told me
that he was stealing a car

at the time of the accident.

This car.

I took this photo at the Zuber farm.
There's even someone who can confirm it.

But he's still refusing
to testify at the moment.

You drove all the way to the Zuber farm?

Yes.

Have a seat.

Julian?

And we're not allowed to know who it is

until we've agreed
to the witness protection program.

Did I understand correctly on that?

This matter is making greater waves
than was previously known.

So I can't agree to any exchange
of information without guarantees.

But you know the name
your client wants to hand over?

Yes, of course.

My client's life is in danger
because of his hypothetical connection

to the Sailovic accident.

Commissioner.

Do you agree with that?

The Sailovics are not exactly known
for letting things slide.

I can understand
your colleague's concerns.

Yes, I'll think about it.

If you can understand me...

blink twice, please.

Zlatan.

These are signs of very good progress.

When will he be able to speak again?

If his condition
continues to improve at this rate,

many things are possible.

Thanks for having my back.

I have to say, you're pretty ballsy.

But the DA is thinking about it now.

Is there any news about the car yet?

How did you wind up defending Zuber?

Through Michael Jacobi.

-We know each other from my studies.
-Gabi?

-Excuse me.
-No problem.

-Yes?
-We're done with the spray.

The DNA is undoubtedly male
and matches the vomit.

The owner of the inhaler was
at the scene at the time of the accident.

But that's not all.

The DNA didn't come from the boy
who's in custody now.

Thank you.

Excuse me, please.

-Commissioner, hello.
-Just a quick question.

I just heard from Lisa Schwarz
that you told her about Sascha Zuber.

How did you know that he stole your car?

Michael?

Hello?

You told me.

When I was with you
in the garage, at forensics.

-Remember?
-Are you sure you got it from me?

Yes, I'm quite sure.

Okay, good.

Sorry to bother you, okay?

I didn't tell you that.

Does this jacket look good
or does this jacket look good?

No, man. You look like my uncle.

My uncle rents scooters.

You have to ask a woman, man.
Women have taste.

Hey!

Ari.

Ari.

And?

Do you think I look like shit too?

No.

You look like a fag.

And you? You look like a bum.

And you look like you're retarded.

What?

I thought you wanted to party.

Zlatan is lying in the hospital
and you're partying.

My father is in prison
and you're partying.

Go ahead. Have a party!

Go on!

Have a party!

Calm down.

Let them celebrate.

It's the boy's birthday.

What did you say I should do?

Arija.

Maybe it's better
if you return to your boyfriend.

Right.

You always know everything better,
don't you?

My dear Uncle Jova.

I'll tell you something. You've grown old.

I'm not interested
in what happened during the war.

I'm talking about here and now.

And I see a dog tucking its tail,
one who's not doing anything.

I've always done
what your father told me to do.

-Word for word.
-Yes.

And that's exactly your problem.

You don't do anything on your own.

We'll find whoever did this to Zlatan.

We'll get him

and wipe him and his whole family out.

I swear to you on my life.

-Lisa.
-Michael, listen.

You were right.
Nisch made fun of me at first.

But I stayed calm and stood up to him.
And you know what?

Now he wants to think it over
about the witness protection program.

-Where are you now?
-I just got home.

Good. We have to see each other. Today.

-I'll be in touch.
-Maybe we should just do it tomorrow...

Excuse me. Police.

-Michael! Michael, just a moment, please.
-Yes, what is it?

Again, just so I understand.

How exactly did you know about Zuber?

I told you that, didn't I? From you.

You know, I gave it some more thought.

I didn't tell you about Zuber
in the garage.

I didn't tell you about him at all.

I don't know, maybe I got it
from the department.

From the department, okay.

So why did you put
your former student on the case?

What are you trying to do, Gabriele? Huh?

Listen, if you want something from me,

get an appointment from now on.

What did you do there?

I bumped into something.

Stefan.

Jacobi.

Sorry to barge in on you like this,

but Sascha Zuber...
You're dealing with the case now, right?

Yes.

His lawyer, Lisa Schwarz,
is a former student of mine.

This is her first major case
and I'm seriously worried

she's going to create
too much work for you.

I think she's actually doing quite well.

Please.

Witness protection for Sascha Zuber?

That's ridiculous.
It doesn't stand a chance.

If the boy gives us something interesting,
who knows? We'll see in the morning.

How long have we been doing this, Stefan?

Do you really believe that?

I don't know you like this.

Hey, look.

I'm really hungry. I have to go home
and eat, if you don't mind.

Or is it something personal?

Do you like her?

Michael, you do realize

that we're not even
supposed to be talking about this, right?

Stefan, think about it.
You're making a big mistake.

Wait a minute. Listen, Stefan!

-Honey?
-Yes?

-Are you okay?
-Yes.

Are you going like that?

What do you mean?

Don't you want to wear something else?

Listen, I...

I think I'm not feeling so well.

Because of your brother?

There's one thing I don't understand.

You told me he was a black sheep
and you had nothing to do with him,

but now all of a sudden
it's all about him?

I'm doing this because he's my brother.

Okay, great.

What should I do now?
Should I cancel on my parents, or what?

No, let's go.

I don't see at all why
I have to justify my success now.

Success? What kind of success?

You lied to the DA.
You call that a success?

-What do you think you're doing?
-What are you so mad about?

Because it's reckless!
There's a human life at stake here.

What if the witness protection
is lifted after the trial? What then?

Can you guarantee him safety? Can you? No!

You have to rescind the application.

I'm not going to do that.

Okay, my dear.

I've worked my ass off for you.
I've done everything for you.

I want you to think really hard
about what you're doing.

It's an engine and with every booking
made through this engine

he earns 0.1 cent.

With four million clicks a day,
and that's just an estimate,

you can work out what he earns in a year,

just from the engine alone.

He doesn't have to do
anything himself. Nothing.

You have a very nice dress, I have to say.

Very tasteful.

Thank you.

Excuse me for a moment.

You're a pretty girl. I'll give you that.

I can understand what he sees in you.

And there's nothing
against you having a bit of fun together.

But if you have greater ambitions,
you'd better forget them.

Nothing personal, but...

with a family like yours...

It just doesn't fit, you know?

Were you exchanging secrets?

We understand one another.

Don't we, my dear?

What makes you think
you're better than me?

I beg your pardon?

You heard me.

I could cut your throat right now.

And no one would help you.

You know why?

Because I'm Arija Sailovic.

Daughter of Radan Sailovic.

And you're nothing.

I'm going for a run.

When will you be back?

Soon.

I'll be right back.

Okay.

Shitting yourself so hard that you have
to show up here with an army?

I don't want a war. I just want to talk.

Just talk.

Zlatan talked to you.

Now he's lying in the hospital.

I know.

I'm sorry for your sake,
but I had nothing to do with it.

Look, Zlatan came to me
and tried to blackmail me.

And you don't do that.

But that doesn't mean
we can't talk about our problems now.

I don't have a problem.
You have a problem.

What?

Your old man is in prison.

You've got the cops on your tail
and you haven't the faintest idea

who's got you in their sights.

Know what? You have a problem.

And I might be able...

to help you, because I know
some people in the right places.

And maybe some little bird will tell me
who's got you in their sights.

Okay.

What do you suggest?

You're an intelligent man.

Look, you give me back my truck
and my merchandise.

And I'll tell you
or one of your ćevapčići what I know.

If you have information,
I can take it right now.

Yes.

But maybe

by then it'll be too late.

I think my suggestion is better.

Hello?

Someone who wants to talk to the boss.

Yes?

The guy who hit Zlatan is going
into witness protection tomorrow.

If you want him, you'll have to be quick.

Or he'll be gone. For good.

Who are you?

His name is Sascha Zuber.

What's the matter with you?
Against the wall!

Turn around!

Look at the wall!

Look down!
