She tells him that both he and his brother are wrongfully accused of these crimes as part of a conspiracy by the prosecution and the police. She then asks for Abou’s help to confess so that she could gather more evidence. Abou agrees.

After that, Jule leaves the station, and Socke starts following her.
Atlas calls Jule and tells her that he can give her all the information on the case, but she says the whole team is involved. She visited the station, and the guy there already knew Atlas’s name. Atlas asks her where she is and tells her to get into a taxi and meet him at the DA’s office, but she insists on meeting at her home instead.
