[The Pass]
"This girl"
"was full of ideas,
of joy of life"
"which was so brutally
taken away."
"I don't
understand it."
"Mr. Hässmann, who
do you think did this?"
"Listen,
I'm no expert."
"This is dealt with by
our amazing police,"
"working round
the clock."
"But, clearly,
we have to do with"
"a lunatic, a madman
killing innocent people,"
"a psychopath."
"And I tell you
honestly"
"I don't want to blame
anyone, but if"
"I were the governor, that
wouldn't have happened ..."
Do you have anything
to do with this, Gedi?
No.
It upsets me that
they can't find him.
They're incompetent
and corrupt.
Yes, yes,
sure.
It's great you
came, Gedi.
I'd like to see you
more often.
You must have
a lot of work.
The state doesn't let you out
of its iron grip?
Yes, exactly.
I don't ever
leave house.
Sometimes, I go out
to the garden.
Nowadays, you can get
everything delivered to you.
And with
the TV ...
you can see the whole world
in a blink of the eye.
You have
an interesting ...
life.
That's just
silly talk!
It's good that
in my house
I can go
wherever I want.
In every corner,
there are some
great memories.
Everywhere you look.
For example, there, on the sofa,
Brus drew
his drawings.
Otto Muehl, ...
Schwarzkogler ...
Sometimes, they may
have been a bit lewd ...
Yes, it's ...
It's truly notable, mummy, ...
that you remember
all of this, ...
Even though you were
high all the time.
I would say, ...
that is
a real feat.
It's great,
Gedi,
that you
came.
On his blog, Brunner
always refers
to the wild man myth,
the Forest King.
He wanders between
the civilization and the nature
and has a right to
punish people.
If we listen to
our culprit's audio messages,
we can assume
he reads Brunner's blog.
It's not unusual
that killers
can be
inspired.
Brunner's ideology is for
our type of culprit
a perfect
justification
of his sadistic and
narcissistic behavior.
Since the society
is collapsing anyway,
and the wrongdoers
need to be punished,
then, for
someone like him, ...
all is
permitted.
This link is
our chance to
contact
the culprit.
Therefore, we'll let Brunner write
about the Krampus Killer on his blog.
This is
the text.
"... finally, the time will show
if we have to do with"
"hero's feats or
common murders."
You want me to publish
this under my name?
Write in your own words
but don't change the message.
And the words in red
are important,
spelling mistakes there
are intentional.
We're dealing with a man
who's playing a game with us.
He believes himself
invulnerable and brilliant.
But he's also a pedant
and a perfectionist.
And that's why
we're posting
a blog entry with
spelling mistakes,
skipping letters which together
make up a message.
And this way,
the culprit will
have to react to it.
And if he sees
through me?
You'd rather
go to jail?
Don't worry about
anything, Mr. Brunner.
We'll be watching your farm
around the clock.
The area
will be guarded
and you'll be wearing
an ankle monitor.
We won't leave
you alone.
KRAMPUS KILLER.
MURDERER OR FREEDOM FIGHTER?
I hate
waiting.
Shorten up
the waiting time.
No, thanks.
And rightly so.
It's the beginning
of an end.
And, uh, ...
as for ...
our meeting ...
So?
I thought ...
when he answers, ...
we could have ...
something
stronger ...
at my
favorite place.
No idea what
it means, but I am for.
Great.
I hate it too, ...
this waiting.
Bravo!
Great!
I must admit you're
almost as out of tune
as I was during my
musical years.
Seriously though,
in my youth I was
a talented ...
You know what, give me
this trumpet.
For my irreplaceable assistant,
I can disgrace myself this one time.
So,
dear Mara, the right
and left hand of the devil,
my watcher,
my all-around-girl,
and ...
my best friend.
This is for you.
Best wishes!
Thanks!
Thank you
very much!
And finally, Tomas
will cut the cake
as neatly and precisely
as he controls our budget!
Take over, please.
This gentleman is from
Münchener Zeitung.
I'd rather not.
Want to reduce me to a right-winger?
I am an independent
journalist.
Charles Turek.
Mr. Turek, in our political world
nobody is independent.
I am writing for the
"Panorama" part.
"Panorama"?
What is it to me?
I've got no vices, no affairs,
not even a dog.
My hobby is politics.
You interest me
as a man.
Oh.
So you want to use me as a trampoline,
for you and your "Panorama".
Sorry, won't help.
See you.
At the moment, your ratings
aren't actually going upwards.
I heard what you said
about the Krampus killer.
Fister, wait
outside, please.
I'll be honest
with you.
I'm not a fan
of your politics.
All the talk about homeland,
mountains, forests ...
My homeland is Ruhr, we love it too,
but we don't talk about it that much.
What is there?
A jam on A40?
But you get
to people.
For good or bad,
they listen to you.
You lack only
a suitable emotional
theme.
I'd like
to interview you.
Can I show
you something?
It started circulating
in the net this morning.
By the evening, millions
will have heard it.
People who can
vote for you.
"I blinded people with
my vanity and superficiality."
"My punishment will be
your salvation."
"Everything is ending.
Our kind will perish with me."
"A better world ...
The red season begins."
"No! No!
Please!"
Schoolchildren can
listen to this,
the parents of
the dead girl ...
We must remove it
immediately.
It's not
our job.
Who leaked it
into the net?
That Turek.
He withheld the evidence and
uses it for his own goals.
You didn't want
to cooperate,
he sought another way
to write his story.
Logical.
He took the bait.
Reader comments
to Brunner's post.
Anonymous sender.
He adopted our system
of missing letters in the text.
When taken together,
they make up a combination
which at first
doesn't make sense.
I tried
an internet address,
then an anagram,
then a substitute ...
Get to
the point already.
There is a chat program
you can't track: Hack Chat.
No one knows who
created it.
But you run it in a browser
and anyone can use it.
The letter combination from
the message is like a room key.
A room nobody
knows about.
The safest way of
communication.
Used by terrorists
spies, hackers ...
And smugglers.
That's why we found nothing
on Slowejko's phone.
That's how
they communicated.
First enter
the nickname.
CERNUNNOS
Say you're happy
to meet him.
I'm glad we can speak.
Now what?
Now we wait
for him.
It can take
some time.
Can I have
a green tea?
And air the room,
the air here is stale.
With milk
and honey.
RUPRECHT: What do you want?
He wrote back!
"Ruprecht: What do you want?"
Flatter him: as your brother in spirit
you command his courage.
But believe in
your own words.
Imagine we're
not here.
I'm following your work with
great interest and admiration.
What does the man
from the forest want?
He's checking you.
Answer quickly.
Order between people and the nature.
What does it mean?
The red season.
I long for it.
It'll come. You must be patient.
Your biggest mistake. You talk too much.
Mistake?
Talking too much?
He's attacking.
Don't fall for it.
Praise his courage,
his deeds were daring.
"Daring"?
I'd never say it
like that.
I admit it, your actions speak louder than my words.
That was just the beginning.
I'm the red season.
"I'm the red season."
What's going on?
Agree with him!
No, ...
It's not like that.
He didn't understand me at all,
like all of you!
I ... I do not destroy,
I create ...
Yeah, yeah, that's
really a shame,
but be nice to him.
I know that for you,
it's easy to disavow your beliefs,
since you have none.
You've lost them
long ago.
But don't judge
others by yourself.
I am no charlatan
or bogeyman,
I'm trying to help!
Then help us and
write at once!
You know what?
Write this shit yourselves.
Mr. Brunner, none
of us can do this.
We need you,
please.
Then let me be your companion.
I'll think about it.
That's good.
That's good?
Why not ask
who's next?
We cannot
pressure him!
He has to open up
willingly.
You'll hear from me.
Well, ...
it was a very
smooth conversation.
I wouldn't ask
for more.
Now we need patience.
He'll write soon.
Yes, and when?
Two hours, two days.
Remember: power
and control.
That's what he's after.
I'll be at the hotel.
I fear.
Fear for our values, ...
our country, our land, ...
our children ...
Are you not afraid of
the Krampus killer?
Listen, for some people
Krampus is a creature of fear.
For me as a Salzburger,
a primal Krampus - it's home.
I was brought up
in the tradition of Passes
something present
only in Salzburg,
which now
comes back.
Well, it's not about
a beautiful tradition,
but a series of murders
like nothing before.
You are right.
Yet, I must openly
tell you, Mr. Turek:
it doesn't surprise me.
We live in a time when
people feel highly vulnerable.
They are
upset, lost.
We live in a
time of decay.
Isn't the world
just more complicated?
See, that's exactly
this false impression.
It's exactly
this uncertainty
which profits
current politics.
Is it wise? I say no,
but it's not about complexity.
Those in power
pretend
the world goes
forward too fast.
Apologies if it sounds
too harsh, but that's
just bullshit.
We must focus on
the most important things.
Why, for example, can I
buy here, in my Salzburg,
only Macedonian
marmalade,
that I put on
Polish buns,
if we make the best
marmalade here?
But what does this have to do
with the Krampus killer?
Don't be angry, Mr. Turek, but you
should ask yourself the question
why are the killings
happening right now?
Why does
the current government
allow a mentally
ill man
to run free
and kill innocents?
We live in times,
and I'm intentionally
mentioning Krampus,
when the naughty elite
sets the ton.
The corrupt, the lobbyists,
the investors.
unscrupulous
politicians,
rich thieves.
The wrongdoers who
must be punished?
I'm talking about the people who
created the world,
in which such
monster could appear.
It must've been a shock
for your mother.
I've got something
in my defense.
My father, bourgeois, in the 70s,
smuggled cocaine into Vienna, big style.
Got two years
in prison,
then fled to America
I was five.
So we've got
something in common
My mother ran away,
when I was a kid.
And your father?
What did he say when his
daughter joined the police?
He thought it
was a good decision.
Because his brave girl always
does everything right?
Come on, you're not as bad
as you'd like to appear.
I wouldn't be
so sure.
Is that so?
Come on,
I dare you.
Alright then.
Listen, ...
I passed the information
to the journalist.
Turek,
Münchener Zeitung.
We were there before:
stuck, no progress.
You give the press some real info,
and when you need ...
one fabricated
piece.
It worked before.
Oh, really?
So well it ended with
an internal investigation?
That was different.
No. It's exactly
the same thing.
You do what you want
and ignore the others.
What's wrong with you?
I thought we work together!
What an asshole!
What do you want?
Take a look in the mirror!
What?
Hey! You can't just leave!
This isn't Vienna!
You can't always
run from your problems!
Said the great
problem-solver.
You really think you've got
all under control?
No, but at least I try
to find the right way.
So that's why you sleep
with your married boss?
Girl, personally,
I don't care.
But don't try to show me
the right way.
There
is none!
No rules,
no justice!
The only way is to
shove it up your ass!
But you still come to
the office every day.
Your words are empty, you've achieved nothing.
He answers in the middle
of the night.
This speaks of
his character.
This way, he feels
as a dominator.
He sets
the moment.
What should I
now answer?
Counterattack.
And what have you achieved?
I'm feared. They listen to me.
Ask him why he
also kills the innocent.
I know what I'm doing.
I kill those who put the guilt on themselves.
I'm no lunatic, no madman, no psychopath.
The one who sows these lies, will fall first.
Tell him they don't
fear him enough.
They don't fear you enough.
Therefore, the next victim will be a prominent and powerful figure.
Everything has been prepared.
Ask him
for a meeting!
It's too straightforward.
That'd be an error.
It's too early.
He's alone, finally wants
to speak about his plans.
We do not know that.
Not yet.
"I'm no lunatic, no madman,
I'm one of you. Please, please hear me."
He talks of a new season but
wants recognition here and now,
wants to be a part
of the community.
He may, but he may not be
able to form a part of it.
He's socially inept,
doesn't trust us enough ...
He's a step from
his next kill.
There'll be no
second opportunity.
Well, what's
going on?
You've got
completely no plan!
Mr. Brunner,
offer help.
Ask for
a meeting.
I want to help. Can we meet?
Kill a man. Only then will you be worthy.
Now you have your
manly friendship.
I warned you.
What you did
is now on you.
Analysts talk much,
then back off.
Who'll pull the next corpse out
from the snow, you or I?
No one died
because of me.
You want to screw
everything up again,
like in Breitensee?
Shut up,
you jerkoff!
Who didn't notice for 2 years
that it was the father?!
I am an analyst, ...
not a clairvoyant.
That was my decision
and we must work
with what we've got.
I'm sorry.
You know where
to find me.
He sounded as if
someone upset him.
Justifying himself.
"I'm no lunatic ..."
"The one who sows
these lies will fall first."
Shit.
As for this whole story
with the journalist ...
I'll confess it's me.
It'll be better
this way.
To get you
taken off the case?
What good
will it do ...
No!
Morning!
Ellie, I tried
to call you.
Yes, I know.
We managed to
contact him.
So I heard,
already.
Have you
worked all night?
No good
comes of it.
You two, go home
and get some sleep.
It may be
too late.
We won't catch him if you
can't think clearly.
Claas ...
Ellie, go home and sleep
at least four hours.
And you too.
Meanwhile, Thomas
will take over, okay?
Thank you.
I'll call. And don't you
dare work at home!
Dad!
Hi, dear!
What a surprise!
Just wanted to leave
you this.
I thought you
were at work.
- Doe?
- Yes, look.
And lots, thanks.
Want to come in?
No, I don't want
to bother you.
You don't.
You look tired.
Yes, a lot
to do.
But I asked for it.
All is well, dad.
Yeah, like always.
Whatever happened
in school,
next morning you always
got up with a smile.
Not true.
I wasn't always
smiling!
Doesn't matter, anyway. Old times.
Dad, I've got to go.
Thanks, and
I'll call you later!
"Checking.
Are you sleeping yet?"
"Sure, dreaming of you!!!!!"
THE MURDERS DON'T SURPRISE ME
"Don't be angry, Mr. Turek, but you
should ask yourself the question"
"why are the killings
happening right now?"
"Why does
the current government"
"allow a mentally
ill man"
"to run free
and kill innocents?"
"We live in times,"
"we live at such a time"
"and I'm intentionally
mentioning Krampus,"
"when the naughty elite
sets the ton."
"The corrupt, the lobbyists,
the investors."
"unscrupulous politicians,
rich thieves"
"The wrongdoers who
must be punished?"
"He speaks of
punishment."
"My thoughts are now
with the victim's family."
"Apologies if my statement
seems emotional"
"but this just
pisses me off."
"This girl"
"was full of ideas,
joy of life"
"which was so
brutally taken away."
"I don't
understand it."
"Listen,
I'm no expert."
"This is dealt with by
our amazing police,"
"working round
the clock."
"But, clearly,
we have to do with"
"a lunatic, a madman
killing innocent people,"
"a psychopath."
Yes?
Do you have the chat
transcript somewhere?
Yes.
What exactly did
Krampus say in the chat?
He's not
a madman ...
Then what?
"I'm no lunatic, no madman,
no psychopath."
"... have to do with"
"a lunatic, a madman
killing innocent people,"
"a psychopath."
"The one who sows these lies ..."
"... will fall first."
Timon?
What?
Can't hear you.
What's up?
What?
No way!
The Pass asks
for passage.
Of course.
When outside
it gets dark again,
And we need to wear cowls again
When it's quiet and freezing cold,
And in the mountains, the snowstorm reigns
When in the rooms again ...
I'll tell him, but
I can't get him out.
Don't scare people,
no matter what!
The mood is
too good!
... the Advent is here,
The procession and I
Are paying this visit
to all of you.
I bring gifts
And bless this farm.
Police called.
Said there's a
terrorist threat.
This is my homeland tradition.
Only that matters.
God bless you
the whole year.
What do you mean,
unreachable?
Let me explain:
we've got a tip-off
and his life may
be in danger!
I'd like to say,
For 160 days, I was
a good man.
Krampus, it's no lie,
Next year, I'll be better.
Krampus, please,
Stay thy rod.
What a wonderful poem!
And with this light
in your eyes
I really liked it.
But ...
our future governor must
do better next year.
And, so that
he doesn't forget
Krampus will put
some fear in him!
Call his assistant
again!
Hässmann refuses to
cancel the event.
We won't pass here, damn it.
Go there.
Everybody's
got one?
By the way, old Schmerzer went
to school with my grandfather.
Thank you,
cheers!
Police!
Get out!
Jörg, the police
called again.
Oh, come on!
Opposition's playing tricks.
Has anything happened so far?
- No ..
- No. Good, then.
He may be alone,
en route now.
We're near
Hässmann's house.
- You're sleeping at your sister's, right?
- Yeah, it's near. Have fun!
Rule number one:
family matters.
Bye then, see you!
- Bye!
What the hell?
Come on ...
Shit!
It must be
somewhere here ...
Damn it.
- Mr. Hässmann, Criminal Police.
- Sorry, who?
When did you
come back?
Well, about
10 minutes ago.
There may be
an attempt at your life.
Did you notice
anything suspicious?
Lights
went out.
Alright, please
wait here.
Dad?
Sorry for
calling so late.
Yes, fine.
How are you?
That's great.
I'm at work,
again.
Got to
go back.
Just wanted to
quickly ...
say 'hello'.
Yes.
Love you too,
dad.
Bye!
Bye!
It's the only chance
to get the killer!
You've said that
already.
Did you see
that woman?
Did you see what
he did to her?
I was there,
in the vicinity,
I should've known
he was still around!
I'm responsible
for this!
I understand you.
We're doing
all we can
to stop that
asshole,
but this
is a no go,
we're
policemen!
Why not?!
Because there
are rules,
rules we need
to follow!
Fuck the rules,
Claas!
If this
gets out,
we get fired,
and all was
for nothing.
All of us
lose our jobs.
We must
risk it.
We must find
another way.
And?
It's time you met
with your journalist.
Mr. Turek, you're an expert
of sorts on this case.
You nicknamed him
"the Krampus killer",
and wrote
the articles.
Yes, but I don't see
myself as a specialist.
I'm just a man who
wants to know the truth.
But now you have
information,
that there's another
person missing in this case,
right?
Recently, someone
went missing,
a member of a local sect,
"The Six Brothers".
However, it's not
been confirmed
that this is another victim
of the Krampus killer.
downloadlink.www.zaf.124.video.mpg
Did he write back yet?
Tomorrow,
at sunrise.
He sent us
the coordinates.
Just like that.
Claas,
if we get busted,
you knew nothing.
Shit!
Contact person is
on the tribune.
Target
in position.
Communication set up.
Teams ready.
Team two ready.
Team five ready.
Team four ready.
L54, coming
from the north.
I repeat, L54, coming
from the north.
White Volkswagen Golf,
license plate number ...
BGL, space,
Paula, Zeppelin, 7, 9.
We're checking
the owner.
Distance to contact:
less than 100 meters.
He's opening
the trunk.
Can you see?
He's got something.
Code red, repeat,
code red.
Ready to shoot.
Standing by.
Shit.
It's just a fisherman.
I repeat, just a fisherman.
Return to stand by.

"I don't want to blame
anyone, but if"
"I were the governor, that
wouldn't have happened ..."
Do you have anything
to do with this, Gedi?
No.
It upsets me that
they can't find him.
They're incompetent
and corrupt.
Yes, yes,
sure.
It's great you
came, Gedi.
I'd like to see you
more often.
You must have
a lot of work.
The state doesn't let you out
of its iron grip?
Yes, exactly.
I don't ever
leave house.
Sometimes, I go out
to the garden.
Nowadays, you can get
everything delivered to you.
And with
the TV ...
you can see the whole world
in a blink of the eye.
You have
an interesting ...
life.
That's just
silly talk!
It's good that
in my house
I can go
wherever I want.
In every corner,
there are some
great memories.
Everywhere you look.
For example, there, on the sofa,
Brus drew
his drawings.
Otto Muehl, ...
Schwarzkogler ...
Sometimes, they may
have been a bit lewd ...
Yes, it's ...
It's truly notable, mummy, ...
that you remember
all of this, ...
Even though you were
high all the time.
I would say, ...
that is
a real feat.
It's great,
Gedi,
that you
came.

our chance to
contact
the culprit.
Therefore, we'll let Brunner write
about the Krampus Killer on his blog.
This is
the text.
"... finally, the time will show
if we have to do with"
"hero's feats or
common murders."
You want me to publish
this under my name?
Write in your own words
but don't change the message.
And the words in red
are important,
spelling mistakes there
are intentional.
We're dealing with a man
who's playing a game with us.
He believes himself
invulnerable and brilliant.
But he's also a pedant
and a perfectionist.
And that's why
we're posting
a blog entry with
spelling mistakes,
skipping letters which together
make up a message.
And this way,
the culprit will
have to react to it.
And if he sees
through me?
You'd rather
go to jail?
Don't worry about
anything, Mr. Brunner.
We'll be watching your farm
around the clock.
The area
will be guarded
and you'll be wearing
an ankle monitor.
We won't leave
you alone.
KRAMPUS KILLER.
MURDERER OR FREEDOM FIGHTER?
I hate
waiting.
Shorten up
the waiting time.
No, thanks.
And rightly so.
It's the beginning
of an end.
And, uh, ...
as for ...
our meeting ...
So?
I thought ...
when he answers, ...
we could have ...
something
stronger ...
at my
favorite place.
No idea what
it means, but I am for.
Great.
I hate it too, ...
this waiting.
Bravo!
Great!
I must admit you're
almost as out of tune
as I was during my
musical years.
Seriously though,
in my youth I was
a talented ...
You know what, give me
this trumpet.
For my irreplaceable assistant,
I can disgrace myself this one time.
So,
dear Mara, the right
and left hand of the devil,
my watcher,
my all-around-girl,
and ...
my best friend.
This is for you.
Best wishes!
Thanks!
Thank you
very much!
And finally, Tomas
will cut the cake
as neatly and precisely
as he controls our budget!
Take over, please.
This gentleman is from
Münchener Zeitung.
I'd rather not.
Want to reduce me to a right-winger?
I am an independent
journalist.
Charles Turek.
Mr. Turek, in our political world
nobody is independent.
I am writing for the
"Panorama" part.
"Panorama"?
What is it to me?
I've got no vices, no affairs,
not even a dog.
My hobby is politics.
You interest me
as a man.
Oh.
So you want to use me as a trampoline,
for you and your "Panorama".
Sorry, won't help.
See you.
At the moment, your ratings
aren't actually going upwards.
I heard what you said
about the Krampus killer.
Fister, wait
outside, please.
I'll be honest
with you.
I'm not a fan
of your politics.
All the talk about homeland,
mountains, forests ...
My homeland is Ruhr, we love it too,
but we don't talk about it that much.
What is there?
A jam on A40?
But you get
to people.
For good or bad,
they listen to you.
You lack only
a suitable emotional
theme.
I'd like
to interview you.
Can I show
you something?
It started circulating
in the net this morning.
By the evening, millions
will have heard it.
People who can
vote for you.
"I blinded people with
my vanity and superficiality."
"My punishment will be
your salvation."
"Everything is ending.
Our kind will perish with me."
"A better world ...
The red season begins."
"No! No!
Please!"
Schoolchildren can
listen to this,
the parents of
the dead girl ...
We must remove it
immediately.
It's not
our job.
Who leaked it
into the net?
That Turek.
He withheld the evidence and
uses it for his own goals.
You didn't want
to cooperate,
he sought another way
to write his story.
Logical.
He took the bait.
Reader comments
to Brunner's post.
Anonymous sender.
He adopted our system
of missing letters in the text.
When taken together,
they make up a combination
which at first
doesn't make sense.
I tried
an internet address,
then an anagram,
then a substitute ...
Get to
the point already.
There is a chat program
you can't track: Hack Chat.
No one knows who
created it.
But you run it in a browser
and anyone can use it.
The letter combination from
the message is like a room key.
A room nobody
knows about.
The safest way of
communication.
Used by terrorists
spies, hackers ...
And smugglers.
That's why we found nothing
on Slowejko's phone.
That's how
they communicated.
First enter
the nickname.
CERNUNNOS
Say you're happy
to meet him.
I'm glad we can speak.
Now what?
Now we wait
for him.
It can take
some time.
Can I have
a green tea?
And air the room,
the air here is stale.
With milk
and honey.
RUPRECHT: What do you want?
He wrote back!
"Ruprecht: What do you want?"
Flatter him: as your brother in spirit
you command his courage.
But believe in
your own words.
Imagine we're
not here.
I'm following your work with
great interest and admiration.
What does the man
from the forest want?
He's checking you.
Answer quickly.
Order between people and the nature.
What does it mean?
The red season.
I long for it.
It'll come. You must be patient.
Your biggest mistake. You talk too much.
Mistake?
Talking too much?
He's attacking.
Don't fall for it.
Praise his courage,
his deeds were daring.
"Daring"?
I'd never say it
like that.
I admit it, your actions speak louder than my words.
That was just the beginning.
I'm the red season.
"I'm the red season."
What's going on?
Agree with him!
No, ...
It's not like that.
He didn't understand me at all,
like all of you!
I ... I do not destroy,
I create ...
Yeah, yeah, that's
really a shame,
but be nice to him.
I know that for you,
it's easy to disavow your beliefs,
since you have none.
You've lost them
long ago.
But don't judge
others by yourself.
I am no charlatan
or bogeyman,
I'm trying to help!
Then help us and
write at once!
You know what?
Write this shit yourselves.
Mr. Brunner, none
of us can do this.
We need you,
please.
Then let me be your companion.
I'll think about it.
That's good.
That's good?
Why not ask
who's next?
We cannot
pressure him!
He has to open up
willingly.
You'll hear from me.
Well, ...
it was a very
smooth conversation.
I wouldn't ask
for more.
Now we need patience.
He'll write soon.
Yes, and when?
Two hours, two days.
Remember: power
and control.
That's what he's after.
I'll be at the hotel.
I fear.
Fear for our values, ...
our country, our land, ...
our children ...
Are you not afraid of
the Krampus killer?
Listen, for some people
Krampus is a creature of fear.
For me as a Salzburger,
a primal Krampus - it's home.
I was brought up
in the tradition of Passes
something present
only in Salzburg,
which now
comes back.
Well, it's not about
a beautiful tradition,
but a series of murders
like nothing before.
You are right.
Yet, I must openly
tell you, Mr. Turek:
it doesn't surprise me.
We live in a time when
people feel highly vulnerable.
They are
upset, lost.
We live in a
time of decay.
Isn't the world
just more complicated?
See, that's exactly
this false impression.
It's exactly
this uncertainty
which profits
current politics.
Is it wise? I say no,
but it's not about complexity.
Those in power
pretend
the world goes
forward too fast.
Apologies if it sounds
too harsh, but that's
just bullshit.
We must focus on
the most important things.
Why, for example, can I
buy here, in my Salzburg,
only Macedonian
marmalade,
that I put on
Polish buns,
if we make the best
marmalade here?
But what does this have to do
with the Krampus killer?
Don't be angry, Mr. Turek, but you
should ask yourself the question
why are the killings
happening right now?
Why does
the current government
allow a mentally
ill man
to run free
and kill innocents?
We live in times,
and I'm intentionally
mentioning Krampus,
when the naughty elite
sets the ton.
The corrupt, the lobbyists,
the investors.
unscrupulous
politicians,
rich thieves.
The wrongdoers who
must be punished?
I'm talking about the people who
created the world,
in which such
monster could appear.
It must've been a shock
for your mother.
I've got something
in my defense.
My father, bourgeois, in the 70s,
smuggled cocaine into Vienna, big style.
Got two years
in prison,
then fled to America
I was five.
So we've got
something in common
My mother ran away,
when I was a kid.
And your father?
What did he say when his
daughter joined the police?
He thought it
was a good decision.
Because his brave girl always
does everything right?
Come on, you're not as bad
as you'd like to appear.
I wouldn't be
so sure.
Is that so?
Come on,
I dare you.
Alright then.
Listen, ...
I passed the information
to the journalist.
Turek,
Münchener Zeitung.
We were there before:
stuck, no progress.
You give the press some real info,
and when you need ...
one fabricated
piece.
It worked before.
Oh, really?
So well it ended with
an internal investigation?
That was different.
No. It's exactly
the same thing.
You do what you want
and ignore the others.
What's wrong with you?
I thought we work together!
What an asshole!
What do you want?
Take a look in the mirror!
What?
Hey! You can't just leave!
This isn't Vienna!
You can't always
run from your problems!
Said the great
problem-solver.
You really think you've got
all under control?
No, but at least I try
to find the right way.
So that's why you sleep
with your married boss?
Girl, personally,
I don't care.
But don't try to show me
the right way.
There
is none!
No rules,
no justice!
The only way is to
shove it up your ass!
But you still come to
the office every day.
Your words are empty, you've achieved nothing.
He answers in the middle
of the night.
This speaks of
his character.
This way, he feels
as a dominator.
He sets
the moment.
What should I
now answer?
Counterattack.
And what have you achieved?
I'm feared. They listen to me.
Ask him why he
also kills the innocent.
I know what I'm doing.
I kill those who put the guilt on themselves.
I'm no lunatic, no madman, no psychopath.
The one who sows these lies, will fall first.
Tell him they don't
fear him enough.
They don't fear you enough.
Therefore, the next victim will be a prominent and powerful figure.
Everything has been prepared.
Ask him
for a meeting!
It's too straightforward.
That'd be an error.
It's too early.
He's alone, finally wants
to speak about his plans.
We do not know that.
Not yet.
"I'm no lunatic, no madman,
I'm one of you. Please, please hear me."
He talks of a new season but
wants recognition here and now,
wants to be a part
of the community.
He may, but he may not be
able to form a part of it.
He's socially inept,
doesn't trust us enough ...
He's a step from
his next kill.
There'll be no
second opportunity.
Well, what's
going on?
You've got
completely no plan!
Mr. Brunner,
offer help.
Ask for
a meeting.
I want to help. Can we meet?
Kill a man. Only then will you be worthy.
Now you have your
manly friendship.
I warned you.
What you did
is now on you.
Analysts talk much,
then back off.
Who'll pull the next corpse out
from the snow, you or I?
No one died
because of me.
You want to screw
everything up again,
like in Breitensee?
Shut up,
you jerkoff!
Who didn't notice for 2 years
that it was the father?!
I am an analyst, ...
not a clairvoyant.
That was my decision
and we must work
with what we've got.
I'm sorry.
You know where
to find me.
He sounded as if
someone upset him.
Justifying himself.
"I'm no lunatic ..."
"The one who sows
these lies will fall first."
Shit.
As for this whole story
with the journalist ...
I'll confess it's me.
It'll be better
this way.
To get you
taken off the case?
What good
will it do ...
No!
Morning!
Ellie, I tried
to call you.
Yes, I know.
We managed to
contact him.
So I heard,
already.
Have you
worked all night?
No good
comes of it.
You two, go home
and get some sleep.
It may be
too late.
We won't catch him if you
can't think clearly.
Claas ...
Ellie, go home and sleep
at least four hours.
And you too.
Meanwhile, Thomas
will take over, okay?
Thank you.
I'll call. And don't you
dare work at home!
Dad!
Hi, dear!
What a surprise!
Just wanted to leave
you this.
I thought you
were at work.
- Doe?
- Yes, look.
And lots, thanks.
Want to come in?
No, I don't want
to bother you.
You don't.
You look tired.
Yes, a lot
to do.
But I asked for it.
All is well, dad.
Yeah, like always.
Whatever happened
in school,
next morning you always
got up with a smile.
Not true.
I wasn't always
smiling!
Doesn't matter, anyway. Old times.
Dad, I've got to go.
Thanks, and
I'll call you later!
"Checking.
Are you sleeping yet?"
"Sure, dreaming of you!!!!!"
THE MURDERS DON'T SURPRISE ME
"Don't be angry, Mr. Turek, but you
should ask yourself the question"
"why are the killings
happening right now?"
"Why does
the current government"
"allow a mentally
ill man"
"to run free
and kill innocents?"
"We live in times,"
"we live at such a time"
"and I'm intentionally
mentioning Krampus,"
"when the naughty elite
sets the ton."
"The corrupt, the lobbyists,
the investors."
"unscrupulous politicians,
rich thieves"
"The wrongdoers who
must be punished?"
"He speaks of
punishment."
"My thoughts are now
with the victim's family."
"Apologies if my statement
seems emotional"
"but this just
pisses me off."
"This girl"
"was full of ideas,
joy of life"
"which was so
brutally taken away."
"I don't
understand it."
"Listen,
I'm no expert."
"This is dealt with by
our amazing police,"
"working round
the clock."
"But, clearly,
we have to do with"
"a lunatic, a madman
killing innocent people,"
"a psychopath."
Yes?
Do you have the chat
transcript somewhere?
Yes.
What exactly did
Krampus say in the chat?
He's not
a madman ...
Then what?
"I'm no lunatic, no madman,
no psychopath."
"... have to do with"
"a lunatic, a madman
killing innocent people,"
"a psychopath."
"The one who sows these lies ..."
"... will fall first."
Timon?
What?
Can't hear you.
What's up?
What?
No way!
The Pass asks
for passage.
Of course.
When outside
it gets dark again,
And we need to wear cowls again
When it's quiet and freezing cold,
And in the mountains, the snowstorm reigns
When in the rooms again ...
I'll tell him, but
I can't get him out.
Don't scare people,
no matter what!
The mood is
too good!
... the Advent is here,
The procession and I
Are paying this visit
to all of you.
I bring gifts
And bless this farm.
Police called.
Said there's a
terrorist threat.
This is my homeland tradition.
Only that matters.
God bless you
the whole year.
What do you mean,
unreachable?
Let me explain:
we've got a tip-off
and his life may
be in danger!
I'd like to say,
For 160 days, I was
a good man.
Krampus, it's no lie,
Next year, I'll be better.
Krampus, please,
Stay thy rod.
What a wonderful poem!
And with this light
in your eyes
I really liked it.
But ...
our future governor must
do better next year.
And, so that
he doesn't forget
Krampus will put
some fear in him!
Call his assistant
again!
Hässmann refuses to
cancel the event.
We won't pass here, damn it.
Go there.
Everybody's
got one?
By the way, old Schmerzer went
to school with my grandfather.
Thank you,
cheers!
Police!
Get out!
Jörg, the police
called again.
Oh, come on!
Opposition's playing tricks.
Has anything happened so far?
- No ..
- No. Good, then.
He may be alone,
en route now.
We're near
Hässmann's house.
- You're sleeping at your sister's, right?
- Yeah, it's near. Have fun!
Rule number one:
family matters.
Bye then, see you!
- Bye!
What the hell?
Come on ...
Shit!
It must be
somewhere here ...
Damn it.
- Mr. Hässmann, Criminal Police.
- Sorry, who?
When did you
come back?
Well, about
10 minutes ago.
There may be
an attempt at your life.
Did you notice
anything suspicious?
Lights
went out.
Alright, please
wait here.
Dad?
Sorry for
calling so late.
Yes, fine.
How are you?
That's great.
I'm at work,
again.
Got to
go back.
Just wanted to
quickly ...
say 'hello'.
Yes.
Love you too,
dad.
Bye!
Bye!
It's the only chance
to get the killer!
You've said that
already.
Did you see
that woman?
Did you see what
he did to her?
I was there,
in the vicinity,
I should've known
he was still around!
I'm responsible
for this!
I understand you.
We're doing
all we can
to stop that
asshole,
but this
is a no go,
we're
policemen!
Why not?!
Because there
are rules,
rules we need
to follow!
Fuck the rules,
Claas!
If this
gets out,
we get fired,
and all was
for nothing.
All of us
lose our jobs.
We must
risk it.
We must find
another way.
And?
It's time you met
with your journalist.
Mr. Turek, you're an expert
of sorts on this case.
You nicknamed him
"the Krampus killer",
and wrote
the articles.
Yes, but I don't see
myself as a specialist.
I'm just a man who
wants to know the truth.
But now you have
information,
that there's another
person missing in this case,
right?
Recently, someone
went missing,
a member of a local sect,
"The Six Brothers".
However, it's not
been confirmed
that this is another victim
of the Krampus killer.

Did he write back yet?
Tomorrow,
at sunrise.
He sent us
the coordinates.
Just like that.
Claas,
if we get busted,
you knew nothing.
Shit!
Contact person is
on the tribune.
Target
in position.
Communication set up.
Teams ready.
Team two ready.
Team five ready.
Team four ready.
L54, coming

I repeat, L54, coming
from the north.
White Volkswagen Golf,
license plate number ...
BGL, space,
Paula, Zeppelin, 7, 9.
We're checking
the owner.
Distance to contact:
less than 100 meters.
He's opening
the trunk.
Can you see?
He's got something.
Code red, repeat,
code red.
Ready to shoot.
Standing by.
Shit.
It's just a fisherman.
I repeat, just a fisherman.
Return to stand by.
