And how was it? Wait a moment.

Hello, Helmut!

- Hello.

I'll be right there!

- Okay.

Analysis:
The relationship between the janitor

and the murderer with the Beetle...

couldn't be put together yet.

I'm keeping him under surveillance.

Tomorrow is the final part

of Alan Bangs' show.

Do you want to come by,

my parents are gone?

Stefanie Brock is having

an outdoor party tonight.

Does Till know about it?

- Not likely. It's not a kindergarten party.

I'd like to, but Helmut just came over.

And besides, I have to look after Tina.

Well, then ask Helmut to look after her.

- Nah, that's mean.

Ronnie is probably coming.

Really, are you sure?

- Yes, sure!

Well Helmut, how's it going?

I mixed a tape for you.

That's sweet of you. What's on it?

Ah, a variety.

It starts with Dire Straits and...

after that comes something harder: Blondie.

I think you have to put contrasting songs

on tapes for the variety.

Tell me...

Did you already have something

to do this evening?

Nope. I thought we... Why?

Then... could you do me a huge favor?

What then?

But say nothing to Till, okay?

Helmut? You have to promise,

Till must not find out about it.

No problem.

Thank you.

Are we going to play something?

What are you doing here? Off to bed!

I don't know if you recall that this is 2DF TV,

not Radio Moscow.

You have to speak German here.

- That was German.

That was German? Can you prove that?

Yes, now let's replay

that gibberish backwards.

Well then do it.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

I'm pleased to acquaint you with my hobby.

That's tremendous!

Can you sing us a song?

- Yes. - Really? - Yes.

What was that?

- "Berlin Air" starting from the back end.

Are you still awake?

- Billy Sheals.

Who's Billy Sheals?

Paul McCartney's doppelgnger.

That's Billy Sheals.

Billy Sheals was a young musician from Liverpool,

who by chance, on the 6th of October 1960,

played with the Beatles

at the Kaiser Keller in Hamburg.

Except for his too big nose, he resembled

Paul McCartney down to the last hair.

On the 17th of November 1960,

he stayed in the room...

next to Paul McCartney and Pete Best

at the Bambi Cinema.

The Beatles started playing

at the Top 10 Club.

Billy Sheals had had enough

of the jokes about his nose.

He lit a couple of condoms

in the room of Paul and Pete Best.

The cinema caught fire.

Paul McCartney and Pete Best were arrested.

The next day, the Beatles were deported.

Back to Liverpool.

Years later. Paul McCartney dies.

Brian Epstein remembers Billy Sheals.

They track the guy down

and they pay for his new nose.

No more disparities.

Tomorrow on Alan Bangs' show, I'll be

proven right! Helmut is coming too.
