POLICE

Pagan Peak
[The Pass]

- Talheim, State Police.
- Hi, I'm Stocker.

Man's body. Lies for a long time.
At least a week or two.

A ranger found him and
called the Austrians.

So I heard.
A difficult situation.

Hello. Pirker,
Alpine Police Salzburg.

Pleased to meet you.
Ellie Stocker.

I heard about your
rescue operation at Hochkönig last year.

Your team is awesome!



Thank you ...

The Salzburg team
are on the way.

COUNTRY BORDER

Good morning.

- Hi, Ellie.
- Hi.

Max, did you take
photos of everything?

Of course.

Sara, any DNA?
Or am I crazy?

No way.
He's been here for a while.

How long?

Two, three weeks.

Deep wounds in the neck.

I should run a blood test,
but there's almost none left.

- He probably died somewhere else.
- Okay.



Thomas, it snowed but
search the surroundings for tracks.

Over the pass,
on the Austrian side, too.

Take as many free
people as you can.

Sure.

Sit down.

They'll be coming soon.

Let me do it!

Hello.

Greetings.

Graph, Pirker,
Mountain Police.

Winter. Is the body lying
on our side or theirs?

Right on the border.

The ... situation is a bit difficult.

Best talk with the lady yourself.

"Lady"?

The Germans have arrived.

Mister Litkowski, do me a favor.
Take off the cap, please.

Syrian?

Ellie, the Austrians.

Yes.

Good morning!

Ellie Stocker,
Traunstein Criminal Police.

You must be
the inspector from Salzburg.

Winter.

Nice to meet you.

Hello!

- It's cold up here.
- Eh, it's not that bad.

Well?

A body, man,
lies on a border marker.

Thorax - in Austria,
legs - in Germany.

Okay.

This case is
in my jurisdiction.

He had documents on him.
He resided in Germany.

Do it the German way.
"Always correct."

One gets the head,
the other, the ass.

The body is being cut out.
Want to have a look?

Mister Winter?

Mister Winter?

Are you alright?

German passport,
German problem.

Excuse me?

Take the case.

Ellie!

Have a look.
He's got something in his hand.

- You can come with me.
- No, I'd rather not.

Goodbye, glad to meet you!

The report's "quick and painless".

The position of the body
was unusual, right?

Yes.

Do the Germans already have a theory?

No idea.

Did you talk with the men
from the pass?

That's not our problem, isn't it?

Yes.
Maybe it's for the better.

Mister Winter ...

We know each other
very little.

I've heard about Vienna.

Maybe that's why
they've assigned you to us.

No, I'm here for fresh air.

I just wanted to say that

neither I, nor your team
blame you.

Thank you.

And if you want to talk with me,
I'm always here for you.

Okay.

Oh, and we're going for a drink later,
do you want to come?

Thank you for the invitation,
but I don't drink.

I don't see anything there!

Now thank you.

Need a light?

Falke?

How can you dress that well
and live in such a hole?

You look like a pimp ...

but you live like a clerk.

Yeah... I'm just a cop.

Yes. And what a cop.

What happened?

No one knows where you are,
what you do, where you live.

I was worried.

You or him?

Everyone!

You belong to a family.

I have a mother
and that's enough of a kinship.

What's happening?

We were a good team,
weren't we?

We could use someone
in Salzburg.

We will give you everything you need.

You can count on us, Falke.

I'll think about it.

Brother ...

let's drink to that!

POLICE

Mister Winter!

She's waiting for you.

Hi!

We meet again.

I tried to call you last night,
but you didn't pick up.

I brought breakfast.

Nut bagels from Salzburg,
local delicacy.

My favorite.

You remember me, right?

Ellie Stocker, the police officer
from the pass.

Your passport, your headache.

Take the case.

Ellie!

Have a look.
He's got something in his hand.

- You can come with me.
- No, I'd rather not.

Goodbye, glad to meet you!

Ellie?

- Thanks, just what I needed!
- Don't mention it.

What about the hair?

Already in the lab. Still studying.

We've got thermal
camera photos.

Unfortunately, nothing.
The Austrians will send theirs.

- OK, and the autopsy?
- In progress.

Gruber called, you can
come in when convenient.

Good.
Did the search find anything?

Tracks show that
a single person brought him in.

On a snowmobile.

The tracks disappear.
Too much snowfall.

We're checking
the snowmobile model.

Then we'll check farms,
lift stations.

Maybe it's stolen.

Super. Thanks.

And ask passport control
about recent travellers.

Ellie?

Report on the wallet.
- Thanks.

And what about the car
the key comes from?

Mercedes Vito.

Ask hunters, farmers,
if anyone saw the car.

They're already being interviewed,
but thanks for the tip.

I'm always eager to help,
not only with curling.

Happy birthday to you,

happy birthday to you ...

Do you need anything else?

Yes.
More people.

Currently, that's difficult.

Not a German citizen, not reported missing.
Heidel will assign no one new.

Sure, cause it's all
quiet here.

Resident registration
shows he was only five.

But the body
looks older.

Yeah, I'd give him
a few years more.

His fingerprints are
in our database.

Bulgarian, criminal record.
Member of the Slowejko family.

Bad Radkersburg, last summer,
refugees in the truck.

Yes, I remember.

Body lies on a border stone,

hair in hands, two stab wounds
in the neck.

Why would anyone want
to drag him there?

When I hike,
even my backpack feels heavy.

You hike
in the mountains?

Don't believe me?

The mountain and me,
three days on the slope.

Three days?
And then they kicked you out?

Well, something like that.

I'll call Heidel again
and see what can be done.

"DEAD REFUGEES
IN BAD RADKERSBURG"

"DRAMA IN STYRIA:
TRUCK WITH 26 BODIES FOUND"

"Women and children among the dead."

Petko Slowejko, truck driver.
Stojan Slowejko, head of the smuggler gang.

Gedeon Winter's inbox.
I'll call you back.

I called you last night,
but you didn't answer.

Remember me?
Ellie Stocker, the officer from the pass?

I remember perfectly.

Please, have a seat.

I've met your boss.
A very nice woman.

And?
What have you ladies talked about?

Nothing ...
Just that you're the responsible officer.

Someone seems
to have gone to great pains.

This man was first killed and then
brought to the pass on a snowmobile.

Blood test revealed Rohypnol.

It reduces motor skills,
makes you helpless.

Maybe that's why there are
no signs of struggle.

Only two stab wounds ...

in the neck.

He was holding this.

Analysis revealed it's horsehair.

The fotos are a bit manneristic.

Is there an artist in your team?

I shot them myself.

Cool.

No breakfast?

No thanks, I'm not hungry.

So what do you want?

The dead man is
Stojan Slovejko, Bulgarian.

He got two years
in suspension.

Remember the refugees in Bad Radkesburg?

I dug up something yesterday.

The truck driver was
the only one caught.

He got a long sentence.

Petko Slovejko.

Brothers.

Brothers?

No ... Cousins. They set the smuggling
ring up together.

Great, let's talk
with him.

Now?

Sure, just check
which prison he's in.

No offense, Florian, but we're not
a local newspaper.

We've got a report:
a ranger found a body on a mountain pass.

John Doe, murdered.

As usual, the police keep quiet
but we'll try to write something.

What? It's more interesting
than cows drinking beer.

No one?

Turek, will you take it?

I'm from Ruhr, I love mountains.

Good.

And now my favorite topic: People.

Tim, tell me what happened.
- So, I ...

"I sold people."

"I ..."

"My punishment will be
your salvation!"

"Ev-everything will end!"

"A new, better world will come."

"The red season begins."

Hi!

Apple.

Apples.

What's this?

Get back to work.

You're here to work, not to flirt.
Ungrateful thing.

But I didn't do anything.

Don't talk back,
earn your money.

I already risk by
letting you work here.

Anyting happens, and you
go back to your Balkans, chop-chop.

Take out the trash, but pronto!

Maybe it was a wildlife accident.

I know about those things
from my father, he's a hunter.

He worked for the town administration,
even ran for a mayor.

But he didn't
make it.

That really got to him.
He retired early.

Now he hunts
whenever he can.

Perhaps my hunter instincts
came from him.

What does your father do?

He's not a hunter.

GRAZ-YAKOMINI
PENITENTIARY

The visit log shows

you had some visits from
your cousin ...

Stojan.

Fuck you.

What did you talk to him
about last time?

That is ...

early last month?

As always, we have one topic:

fucking.

Aren't you a joker.

Such a joker that the bodies
from the truck are still laughing.

People know what's going on.

It's not our fault,
it's the politicians

responsible for
those shitty laws.

Sure, everybody's guilty
and you are saints.

Bullshit!

It's much more
complicated, but ...

How can you understand with your brain
withered from too much jacking off.

We found your cousin.
He's dead.

What do you mean?

What the fuck?
Huh?

What do you mean,
you fucking cunt?

He was murdered.
- Painfully.

Fuck you!

Have you ever seen this?

It looks like a sign.
A warning.

Maybe your family is in danger?

My father
used to say:

send twenty against us and
we'll send you back forty balls.

Nobody threatens the Slowejko family.

Your father.

Once you were a big deal,
but everything changed.

The Africans took over,
didn't they?

What do you know?

Only you can help us
find your cousin's killer.

He was executed.

We won't come again.

Good for you.

Because if you come again,
maybe ... I'll fuck you.

For your family album.

Let's go.

We talked about a deal.

"Huge deal, Petko."

Deal?
With whom?

How do I know!

He didn't say his name.

He spoke only about
"a man from the forest".

Yes, that's how he knew him.

Where?

Mister Slowejko, where did your cousin
want to meet with him?

You didn't need to show
him the photo.

He would have talked
either way.

Does it matter?

It worked, didn't it?

Maybe.
Yeah.

Are you coming?

It's not my jurisdiction.

Thomas, how are you?

Hi, Ellie. Great, thanks.

Mercedes Vito, the keys from
the victim match.

Locked,
no signs of carjacking.

The owner of this wood thinks the car
has been here for at least three weeks.

And the road there
leads to the pass.

Good, Robert.
Let's see if the dog picks something up.

Thank you very much.

We believe that the package receipient
was carefully chosen by the perpetrator.

It's addressed to a
Münchner Zeitung's journalist,

the only newspaper which wrote in detail
about the murder.

No sender address, no fingerprints,
no DNA traces.

Apart from the journalist
who opened the package.

We compared the voice with an earlier
recording of Stojan Slowejko.

Our experts came to
an unequivocal conclusion:

the voice on the flash drive
belongs to the victim.

The killer really wants ... attention.

And ... he wants to share
something with us.

"I don't want to live in the Abyss."

"I came from Hell and trample
the Heaven under your feet."

"I ... know no borders."

"I ... I sold people."

"And ruined their lives."

"My punishment will be
your salvation."

"Ev-everything will change."

"A new, better world ...
will come."

"The red season begins."

Mister Winter?

There is a hiss in the recording.

I was there.

It must have happened
near that tree.

The forest there
is somewhat ... dark.

"Darkness is called darkness
because it's always dark there."

Ambros.

Do you know Wolfgang Ambros?

No ...

Never mind.

Well, my services are no longer needed.

All the best. Good luck.

Mister Winter?

Why do you work as a cop?

Interesting.

I ask myself
the same question everyday.

And I have no answer.

Well, best of luck, officer.

They gave you a bigger budget.
You can have up to fifteen people.

And who will be my assistant?

Thomas, as before.

Rest of the team
you can choose yourself.

You know them best.

Super.

The Austrians are out of the picture,
unless something happens.

Thanks.

Well, right in time, huh?

Otherwise, you'd be off to some big city,
where there's more going on.

- You wanted to move me?
- Sure.

But I like it more with you.

So, ...

in this sense, the body
helped me.

- Bye!
- Bye!

Since some time, I see
really bad in the dark.

Everyone sees bad in the dark.

But you hit
the hare, right?

It had to be me with a poor vision.
Unbelievable!

You have me.

You could skin well
even as a kid.

Better than adults.

Yes, "skin over the ears",
I know.

We should go hunting together sometime,
just like before.

Yes, sure!

What's with the bookshelf?
Need help?

I'll do it one day, it's not urgent.
Let's have dinner.

Thanks.

Good evening.

Hello?

Hello!

Hello?

Want me to tell you a secret?

♫ The darkness is called darkness, ♫

♫ because it's always dark there ♫

♫ and since there's no light, ♫

♫ you can see nothing. ♫

♫ So believe me, my boy, ♫

♫ be wise, ♫

♫ you can't see far ♫

♫ in the gloom. ♫
