Elling seems to notice that something is going on between Lona and Sören Jasper. When Elling visits the forensic pathologist, he learns something there that changes everything.

"Hans im Glück" is a German fairy tale with the underlying message that possessions cannot bring true contentment.

When Elling arrives at the campsite in Marnow, he is surprised that Lona and Sören Jasper are already on first-name terms. Elling says that, in his opinion, there is nothing suspicious about Beck's presence at the campsite, which Lona finds puzzling.

Elling meets with the mysterious stranger at a restaurant, where he learns more about Beck's abuse of children. She hands him an envelope containing 20,000 euros, so he now finds himself in a moral dilemma...

Lona strikes up a conversation with the campsite owner, Elling receives an unexpected offer from a stranger, and Lona gives Jasper an official order to meet her in Marnow.
