Cassandra

.

The extinguishing process has initiated.

There's a fire.

The kids! Juno, Fynn!

- What's going on? - Mom!

The extinguishing process…

Go, go, go!

- Come on. Run! - Go! Come on. Let's go!

Let's go.

- It's okay. - Hurry

Oh my God!

Hurry up!

What about Cassandra?

Are you okay?

-Anyone hurt? -No.

Hmm.

- Hey. -

-Did she fall back asleep? -Fynn's staying with her for the night.

I… believe we need a new ugly sofa, don't we?

Might've been an electrical fire. That thing was pretty ancient.

- - Mm.

Oh, for… damn it.

-What is it? -The photos. They're all destroyed.

-That's your only concern? -You should've seen the photos, David.

Cassandra used to be a human.

She lived here. I'm amazed. The photos have such a resemblance.

Yeah. The whole house could've burned down, Samira.

I don't think it was a cable getting lit.

You mean to say this is all my fault?

I didn't say that. I'm saying you were the last one here.

Yeah. So, I powered this thing off and got into bed.

Same as everybody else.

Without lighting a fire beforehand.

- Honey, that's-- -Good night, David.

That was great.

What now?

I'm just reporting what I've recorded in my log, David.

Last night's fire began due to a short circuit.

Caused by an open wine bottle that spilled onto the running slide projector,

I ge… get it.

From when Samira stumbled right into… the table.

I think playing ball with his father would make him very happy.

Since you can't go to his games, Horst.

The anniversary speech isn't gonna write itself.

It's for the company.

My employees expect something motivating.

Blah, blah, blah.

I can help if you want.

'Cause you don't have enough to do?

Mm.

Pass it!

Heard you boys won yesterday.

Yeah, three to zero.

Congrats. Almost time to move up a league, huh?

How much did you end up playing?

Horst, we don't focus on that.

Just being there counts, huh? Peter?

I don't know why the coach won't let me play, Dad.

Peter!

Wait up a second.

I'm still so proud of you, you know, dear?

For sitting on the bench constantly?

Well, maybe your father can have some words with the coach, hmm?

Great idea.

Everyone knows I'm only on the team

'cause he pays for our travel to away games.

That's not fair.

You play so well. You just gotta practice some more.

Mom, I'm miserable, 'kay?

I… I don't know any boy who hates playing ball.

Not on my team.

Peter, what's that mean?

You don't have to do anything you don't want to do.

Yeah, but Dad would lose it if I stopped going now.

Uh, never, sweetie.

He's very overwhelmed about work right now.

I'll speak to him.

- Cassandra, stop. -

Yes, Samira?

I've heard enough of that song.

I mean, it was fun at first, but after a week,

it's really driving me nuts.

Juno, Fynn! Food's done!

No need to shout.

- Good morning. -Morning, my love.

-Mom? - Hmm?

-Becoming a pyromaniac, huh? -Wow. When did you get so funny?

Will you just check on your sister, please?

-Cassandra? - Yes, Fynn?

Where is Juno?

Juno is in the bathroom, brushing her teeth.

Juno's in the bathroom, brushing her teeth.

-Thanks, Cassandra. - You're welcome, Samira.

- -

No cavities to be seen when you keep your teeth clean.

Today is your big day, isn't it?

Are you nervous?

What if the girls in the music club don't wanna become friends?

What if I do really bad?

Oh, Princess.

It's never ever easy to make new friends.

But don't worry, Juno.

You are completely perfect just the way you are.

And I'm sure you'll make new friends very quickly.

And also, you certainly sing better than I do.

ELLY HEUSS HIGH SCHOOL

- So… Well, then. You be good. - Mm.

Yep.

Isn't that your new buddy over there?

- Mm-hmm. -

See ya.

-Hey, Fynn. -Hey.

-Hello, Fynn's dad. -Steve.

Oh, I'm supposed to send some love from my stepmother.

She's a giant fan.

Thanks, man. I appreciate it.

Yeah. She's got like every Inspector Romeo.

-Says you just breeze through them. -Yeah?

Uh, what genre are they, anyway?

They're kind of, um, criminal erotica, right?

Uh, they're just… just crime books.

Uh, my bad.

I mean, he, like, sleeps around a lot, apparently.

Even with suspects.

-He's quite horny, your inspector, huh? -Okay, um…

-We better go. -Mm-hmm, yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah. Bye, Dad.

Ah, wait. Uh, Fynn!

-Here. -Thanks.

- Later. -Later.

- -

"Criminal erotica."

You didn't say your father's some famous author.

Well, you never asked.

So, um, you got my stuff?

You should review it, or Ms. Mallis might...

...notice it's not my own work? Right.

Great. Thanks.

What are you doing later? We could go over tomorrow's material.

Or if not, I could probably beat you at foosball again.

Okay, first of all, I didn't lose.

And secondly, I've already got plans. Sorry.

What are you doing with him?

-Nothing. He's doing my homework. -But isn't he a little…

I don't know, man. I don't really know the guy.

Why are you asking?

["Away" by Federico Coderoni and Giada Boe playing on radio]

- This is our pool. - Wow.

-Very fancy. -Yeah.

I'm so happy for you.

Who else can say they live in a smart home? Crazy.

Mm. It sure is something.

The kids love it. Especially Juno.

I don't think she misses the city.

And you didn't even have to buy her a horse.

Nah. Now she has Cassandra.

And you, Sam?

Who do you have?

If you need someone to talk to, I'm always here for you.

Mm-hmm.

-You know it's okay to be sad. -

I just don't understand it.

Why did she have to… I mean…

I used to really look up to my sister Kathi, you know?

So strong, funny, and so empathetic.

I mean, she could be pretty cruel at times.

At times?

As kids, we would both just fight over everything.

Mm, over clothes and boys. Actually, mostly over boys

Then she'd push me into the closet and lock it.

Even though she knew that I'd totally freak out in there.

Crazy. I'm glad I didn't meet her until much later.

You better come see me soon, Mina.

I promise. Take care of yourself, sweetie.

David?

David?
