Pagan Peak (2018–…): Season 2, Episode 2 - Das Böse in den Augen - full transcript

I'll take…

menu one.

Yes.

Yes.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Did you find it OK? Thank you.

- It's the best restaurant around.
- Yes, wonderful.

I'll take menu one. You?

I'll just have wine. Thank you.

I'm sorry. I've already eaten.



Your call was a surprise.

Yes, please.

Thank you.

To your health.

How's your son?

We take care of our clients.

I heard he is very ill.

His care costs a lot of money.

A carer around the clock…

You are getting it all wrong.

The painting was really stolen.

Why didn't you just sell the painting?
It's worth over one million by now.

That's not peanuts, right?

Thank you.



This is wonderful.

With the evidence as scant as it is…

you won't get any money from us.

At best, we'll report you for fraud.

Worst case…

you'll go to prison for that.

Do you really want your son
to grow up without his mum?

Please, you have to understand.

I gave it back to the artist
so this will finally stop.

What will stop?

What will stop?

Before the accident, he asked
me a lot of times to take it down.

I didn't get it.

He was sitting in front of the painting,
crying, said, I should take it down.

And I didn't believe him.

And then, one morning, I found him.

In the pond in front of the house.

In hospital, I finally got it.

If I sell or destroy it, it will kill him.
Do you understand?

I have to return it to
the man who created it.

Coffee?

I'd love some.

You know full well I don't drink any.

What?

What he did, wasn't right.

We all know this.

It was wrong.

But he wanted things
to change all the time.

He wanted to reinvent himself
all the time. That's not my fault.

But it was nice of you to come…

Gedi.

PAGAN PEAK

Yes, her boyfriend was a criminal.
But it was always about money.

We need to bring in Lisa Hildebrandt.
Something's off about her.

I need to talk to her again.

A man died during your operation.
There will be a hearing.

I know. But it's still my case.

Ellie, you were working around
the clock for the last few days.

It's not a good idea.

Thank you for your
concern, JP, but I'm fine.

OK. I'll talk to the
district attorney again.

I'll see you at the office.

Mr Thoma?

There is nothing left
for us to talk about.

A suspect was shot. There will
be an inquiry into the operation.

You will have to make a statement, too.

- I know I made a mistake.
- Oh, you do?

We've all been working on the case
around the clock, we're all exhausted.

If this happened to one of my guys,
he'd lose his job before he knows it.

I overreacted.

- You put a loaded gun in my face.
- I would never have pulled the trigger.

That's very reassuring.

I am here to apologise.

That's not enough.

OK.

There will be a court case.
The whole thing will be reviewed again.

I'll get myself a lawyer.
I'll contest your statement.

I'll challenge your credibility.
I'll get you involved.

Do you really want that?

Heinze wants me to write
a report about the operation.

The operation in the quarry.

Yes.

I wanted to talk to you
about my future first.

But not now. We have a case to solve.

You're bringing in
Ms Hildebrandt again today. Why?

We have our reasons.

I want to sit in at the hearing.

It's not part of your duties.

We got this so far.

Look.

You'll turn this over…

And then, you take…

You take the scalpel…

and severe it.

And then the skull is done.

I think that's fine.

Was Dad there for the dissection?

No, he wasn't interested.

But your granddad, he did it all himself.

So, it's in your blood.

You stop from one day to the next?

The piano is damaged.

So was this just another phase?

I see it like Thomas Bernhard.

Either you're the best in
something or you leave it be.

Thomas Bernhard said that?

So what do you do all day long?

At least, Bernhard wrote a few books.

I'll go hunting again.

Yes, the doe was good.

But venison, antlers, and
stuffed skulls are no life task.

Hunting is a hobby.

That's all.

Be honest.

Where is your place?

What completes you?

Alexander…

the Uttanger project
has been green-lighted.

We've started the construction.

It's huge. What we create,
what will be in it, it's gigantic.

Yeah, I read about it in
the paper. Congratulations.

We need creative people.

Artistic types.

I'm not an artist.

Doesn't matter. The point is we'd be
doing something together, as a family.

OK.

- And you need to get out of the old box.
- I feel at home there.

Come to me, to the city.

OK, yes, I'll think about it.

We need to make sure
nothing builds up again.

I just want you to be well.

You can talk to me, Xandi.

Always.

About anything.

By the way, I met someone.

- You did?
- A great woman.

- Funny, very intelligent, half-Iranian.
- Half-Indian?

- Half-Iranian.
- Oh, I see.

SITE OF OPERATION: QUARRY
OPERATION CESAR: GBH

STATE OF INVESTIGATIONS

Yela, the boss wants you
to watch the interrogation.

You'll learn something.

What now? Ms Stocker is waiting.

OK, we're ready, bring her in.

- Hello, Ms Hildebrandt.
- Hello.

I'm sorry it all ended like this.

Your life partner was armed.

Despite being warned,
he shot at the officers.

I'm not surprised.
He was capable of violence.

Particularly if he felt cornered.

Did he ever feel cornered
when he was with you?

Sure. When we had an argument.

Sometimes I was actually scared of him.

What kind of arguments?

When I didn't agree with his opinion.

- You've been married before.
- Yes. A long time ago.

I was much too young back then.

We made inquiries. Your then husband
claimed during divorce proceedings

that you had been mentally cruel to him.

That was all about money.

He didn't want to pay, so he slurred me.

That was the worst thing.

But it was him who was violent to me.

Physically, too.

Your husband was admitted
to hospital with burns.

It was an accident. He had been careless.

I have a hospital report from
that time, 25 August 2012.

Burns on your ex-husband's
back, caused by boiling water.

How could he have done that to himself?

I don't remember.

It was definitely an accident.

I took care of his wounds too.

But he hit me.

Is that your experience?

Getting hit?

Taking care of wounds.

My mother is a nurse
and I help her if I can.

You also supported your mother
with the care of Ms Fischerauer.

That's correct.
I've told you all this before.

Just as a formality, can
you tell me again, please?

The woman needed care
around the clock for her leg ulcer.

My mother was a little bit overwhelmed.

She's not the youngest anymore.

What were your tasks?

I mostly took care of the dog.
Walked and fed it and stuff.

I have a question about that.
In the basement, there were…

according to the forensics report,
ropes, strings, a clothesline…

Clothesline? I don't think so.
She had a dryer.

Never mind. I still wonder why…

What does this have to do with the dog?

Do you want a coffee?

No. I don't drink coffee.
It's not good for you.

What is she doing?

I'll go get one.

- Where is the picture with the leashes?
- In the file.

- No, it's not there.
- Yes, in the picture folder.

- The blue document, as always.
- I had attached it to the report.

Shit, you should have told me.

Don't stress, everything's going
according to plan. Calm down…

I am calm, OK? I didn't find the picture.

- That's all.
- We should keep our nerve now.

- Take Thomas in with you.
- No, she needs to come to trust me.

Fine.

Ms Hildebrandt.

The victim was strangled with a dog leash.

This dog leash was always hanging on
the first floor, according to witnesses.

On a special board, just for the leashes.

Yes.

Why would your boyfriend
get a dog leash from upstairs

when there were enough things
close at hand in the basement

to strangle Ms Fischerauer?

- Strings, tension belts.
- I don't know.

Workmates, friends,
relatives have testified

that your boyfriend was a choleric man.

People describe him as
impulsive, rash, impatient…

On impulse, he beat someone to a pulp.

Yes.

So it seems implausible to me for
him to keep his victim in the basement

for two days just to get some money.

I don't know.

I wasn't there.

I had given him the key.

I wonder if your boyfriend would have
had the patience to do this for two days.

Keep a woman prisoner in the basement,
change her clothes several times,

torturing and humiliating her for hours,

with a dog leash from
the first floor. And for what?

For 280 Euros?

And the little bit of worthless
jewellery we found at his house?

According to the carers'
testimonies and also your mother's,

Ms Fischerauer was a
moody, unpleasant patient.

Quote: "She was bossy, condescending".

And the dog which apparently
was your responsibility, I quote,

"was more important to
her than any human being".

And she even included it in her testament.

It must be a great relief…

after all the humiliations,
to finally turn the tables.

Drink the champagne from the basement.

Lie in the nice bed in the bedroom.

Put the spoiled mutt
in the washing machine

and put the leash around the woman's neck.

Pull it tight until the old
hag whimpers for mercy.

Ms Hildebrandt.

I wanted to…

Ellie, can you come, please?

I'm sorry. What's the matter with her?

One moment.

Hello, Mr Gössen, can
I do something for you?

No thanks, I have an
appointment with my brother.

- I see.
- Bye.

From project development and planning
to manufacturing and construction,

design, composition, and communication.

We will pool our competencies
and creative forces for you.

We see ourselves as a family,
and you're a part of it.

So that in future, great
things loom into the sky.

We are Gössen.

Since the time in hospital, you
haven't taken a single day off.

I was away for long enough.

Not even when your father died.

My father was very ill. It was a great
relief that he was finally able to go.

It has nothing to do with this.

I'm sorry for what happened earlier.
But I can repeat the questioning.

Sometimes you only get one
chance. We had ours today.

She almost confessed.

I was close. I need to
talk to her one more time.

Look at yourself. When was
the last time you slept properly?

- That's not important.
- Yes, it is.

I can't let you work like this.
I've been watching this for far too long.

You're suspended.

I'm definitely not walking
away now. This is my life.

But this is not about your life.

Get help.

We have facilities for that.

You know how people think
about this. I need to lead a team.

It won't go any further.
We'll say you have personal reasons.

We can keep this small.

By the way, your partner back then,
the Austrian Superintendent Winter,

he came out of his coma.
I thought you'd want to know.

…24 emergency and follow-up
surgeries were necessary…

The aorta was torn.

The lungs were also
injured by the foreign matter.

You were put into an
artificial coma post-op.

Unfortunately, we were unable to
remove a projectile from your skullcap.

But in this area, it's not
directly life-threatening.

However, there could be complications
like rising intercranial pressure…

Do you know what some of us say?

About the fact that you're still alive?

They say that you sold
your soul to the devil himself.

That's the only way.

I think…

you were just unlucky.

Then finish it off.

You used to be family.

And then you sell your only son?

And now you actually
believe I would hold your hand?

Look at you.

You got what you deserve, Falke.

You're not worth another bullet to him.

What is it?

Please, help me.

What happened?

What's the matter with you?

Help me, please! I need to get over there.

Go with me, keep going straight.

Help me!

Please stay calm.

He is here. Please!

Who is here?

Stay here!

Hey! Stay here. Don't run away.

Dispatch, I need help.

There's a woman who is injured.

- Good morning.
- Morning.

- How was the game?
- OK.

The boss wants to see you.
Seems to be urgent.

Yes?

Good morning.

You still haven't handed
in the quarry report.

I'm still working on a few details.

What do you want?

I don't want to sit in the room
next door and look at video links.

I want to look the
perpetrators in the eye.

This morning, our colleagues in
Austria found a dead German tourist.

An 18-year-old woman.
The body was next to a river.

You'll find the details
in the daily report.

The Austrians have already
formed a special commission

and asked for support from Germany.

I suggested you as the
liaison officer in charge.

Me?

What about you?

I'm taking some time off.

Personal reasons. My father died recently.
I need to take care of his estate.

So?

Yes.

Of course. I'd love to.

Then the matter in the
quarry is closed for good.

You mustn't forget one thing.

If you look the perpetrator in the eye…

they will also look into yours.

I won't be able to come for a while now.

I'm the liason officer for a
special commission now.

A big case.

Sounds important.

Congratulations.

So now you are where you wanted to be.

Are you happy?

- Yes, I think so.
- You think?

Yela, little girl.

Go ahead, speak another language.

You are German now.

A German police officer, even.

Shed your skin as often as you can,

you will always be my daughter.

But still, you never
talked to me about it.

You did talk to your lawyers.

But never to your daughter.

We all have a choice of who we want to be.

ENTRANCE EAST

It is at this fence that the young
woman was last seen alive.

A simple chainwire fence was the
fatal undoing of Tonia Roth that night.

A crime out of a horror film.

He was torturing his victim
with stabs, cuts, and beatings

before he apparently
cut her throat with a knife.

Mum?

You hire people behind my back?

Yes, I couldn't get a hold of you.

The police assume
it's a single perpetrator.

How is your brother?

Well, I think.

Why?

He sent all the staff home. Even Jenny.

OK, I… I'll take care of it, OK?
