BOY SLEEPING OIL ON CANVAS

- Morning.
- Morning.

- Morning, Ellie.
- Morning. Ben!

Has Gedeon been in already?

- No.
- Any idea where he might be?



I tried to reach him. His phone was off.

Is there a forensic report on the hut?

Yes, it came in last night. They
found quite a lot of DNA traces.

But little of any use to us.

Ms Eberharter often rented out the
hut. It had a high turnover of guests.

They ran everything through the
database, but no matches so far.

Tell me, did Marianne
Eberharter have a dog with her?

It isn't mentioned in the documents.

Don't know anything about a dog.

But there are signs here.

Signs of a dog? Maybe
it was a fox or a wolf.

It would still be in here, but it's not.

POLICE LINE
- DO NOT CROSS

Hello!



Hello?

For many of them, belief in Satan
is compensating for something.

They're feeling lost and are looking
for something that gives them security.

Kai Markstein, for example,
wanted to break free

from his strict Catholic mother.

By burning a woman to death?

I've got the video here of Kai
Markstein's interview in 2010.

I didn't do anything evil.

We're only following orders, people's
wishes. It's what Yvette wanted.

You don't have a plan or
anything? It just sort of happened?

How did you choose the location?

There are many spiritual
places in our area.

Special, mystical places.

I know. I've read a lot about them.

Witches and enchanted beings
live in rocks and trees here.

And the place where you gathered this
time is also one of these special places?

A big, flat rock. It was also used
for sacrifices in earlier times.

We were together as a group.

We drank beer and
chatted, as we often did.

But this time, it was a bit special.

It was different.

Finally, he showed
himself to us once more.

Suddenly, he was back.

Who?

I told you that he
lives in these places.

-He was always there.
-Who was?

He was.

He was.

He promised to protect us.

He promised.

He promised to protect us. He promised.

That's what he promised.

Would you like to tell
me where you're going?

No.

I'll go with you then.

I thought you might.

The question is whether the
effort you put in is worth it.

I'm not sure how the two of
us will work together now.

The way we always did.

The way we started off last
time or the way we finished?

Time will tell.

Let's begin with silence then,
just to be on the safe side.

- Burglar! My house!
- Calm down.

We're from the police. Ellie
Stocker, Traunstein CID.

- What doing here?
- Police!

We're looking for your son.

What doing... in my house?

Don't like, don't like... Go! Go!

All right, all right.

Where is your son?

My son... former criminal...

My son...

What should I do?

Easy now.

Mrs Markstein, maybe you could
write down where your son works.

He works there?

Your son?

Mr Markstein!

Mr Markstein!

I was on night shift on those days.
You can check that any time you like.

I would just ask you to be discreet.

Not everyone needs to know I had
anything to do with the police.

Can I see your phone?

You'll get it back. It could
help to confirm your story.

I don't have one.

You don't have a phone. You
know I'll have that checked?

Feel free. I'm living as a
recluse here. I don't need one.

I'm repenting, so that
my sins are wiped out.

A verse from the Bible.

Acts of the Apostles.

Is the name Marianne
Eberharter familiar to you?

No, it isn't.

I'm terrible with names.

What about Yvette Grünbauer?

Of course.

I ask to be forgiven, not to forget.

It was a mistake I will pay
for for the rest of my life.

You may not understand, but it
destroyed my life as well as Yvette's.

But I can't undo the past,
I can't turn back the clock.

My problem is the murders of Ms Grünbauer
and Ms Eberharter have similarities.

Do not judge and you will not be judged.

Do not condemn and you
will not be condemned.

Forgive and you will be forgiven.

Why did you join this group back then?

I was looking for something.

You know, I always thought
God's role in religion

was to turn people into mindless robots.

And I thought that devotion to
Satan would help to counter that.

And do you still believe in the devil?

I deeply regret it.

That's not an answer.

No, I don't.

Yvette was one of us back then.

But you all killed her.

I saw him.

He was in my head.

He was in my head. He was in my head...

He was in my head. He
ordered me to do it.

He ordered me to do it.

- Are you all right?
- Yeah, yeah.

We need to check if he really doesn't
have a phone. I don't believe him.

Just because you think someone's
guilty doesn't mean he is.

That's why keeping an eye on
him is even more important.

- Do you want a drink?
- I'm going for a quick shower.

RAFAEL LUTZ 3 MISSED CALLS

Morning, Ben.

Morning, Ellie. Did you get my email?

Hang on.

- Yes.
-They're waiting for the forensic report,

but looks like murder in
the course of a burglary.

Mr Tobias Dorfmeister seems
to have surprised the burglar.

Mrs Dorfmeister saw someone
in the garden running away.

- Could she make anything out?
-No, unfortunately not.

Gedeon thinks we should leave the
case with Salzburg CID for now.

He had a series of burglaries
in Salzburg recently

where a homeowner was seriously injured.

Fits the pattern.

OK, but send our daily reports
to our CID colleagues anyway,

so we can rule out
possible similarities.

Thanks.

Ms Stocker, how are you?

I'm working for the "Evening Post" now.

I remember you, Mr Turek.

For information on our
investigations, ask our press office.

I know you don't like me much,

but it wasn't particularly
nice for any of us then.

Get out.

I've come to you about the murder
of Tobias Dorfmeister last night.

How do you know about that?
There's been no press release yet.

I am the press. Have you forgotten?

- Is your task force on the case?
- No, it isn't. Now get out.

That's surprising.

Last night's events are linked to Marianne
Eberharter's murder. But have it your way.

Hey, wait.

Both cases are to do with
the Gössens' big project.

The luxury chalets in the Ziller Valley.

How?

I'd like to tell you more, but you
have to guarantee to keep me informed.

Exclusively. Even before
an official press release.

Ellie Stocker, Traunstein CID. Is the
name Marianne Eberharter familiar to you?

No. Who is she?

- And the name Tobias Dorfmeister?
- His father owned the land back there.

He refused to sell for years, even
though they offered him huge sums.

His land made up almost
half of this site.

Does he live in the area?

Heinrich Dorfmeister hanged
himself a few months ago.

The mad people over there
said he killed himself

because he was put
under so much pressure.

- And was he?
- I'm not the one to ask.

Gössen Construction acquired the
land. They've got enough cash.

They don't need to put
anyone under pressure.

Can I get back in?

Thanks.

Hello. Thank you for
calling "La Casa del Ricivetta".

We're closed until June 1st.

If you'd like to make a
reservation, please leave your number.

If you'd like to make a
reservation, please leave your number.

Thank you.

The poultry farm boss
confirmed Markstein's alibi.

However, we've found out they've
known each other since school.

He supported Markstein during his
probation and gave him the job.

- And the boss is clean?
- Yes, we've nothing on him.

Looking further into the Satanist scene
gave us little we didn't already know.

The number of known Satanists
at the time is really small.

To describe it as a scene
is almost an exaggeration.

It was more of a group and
there has been no sign at all

of any criminal sadism or
violence in recent years.

The most relevant thing is Markstein
no longer seems to be active.

In my opinion, we shouldn't focus
prematurely on a ritual killing.

The factors involved
in the burning alive

of Yvette Grünbauer and Ms
Eberharter are different.

The body sacrifice was of a woman who
was herself part of the Satanist scene.

The group members'
testimony at the time said

she willingly put
herself in that situation.

It was very different for Ms Eberharter.

If that crime had been part of a
ritual act involving several people,

we would have found evidence
of that at the scene.

All the signs are that
she was overpowered

or at least lured to the crime scene.

And that doesn't fit in with
the MO used in comparable cases.

Marianne Eberharter worked in
the land development department

for the Salzburg region.

The same department is
responsible for the development

of the chalet project
in the Ziller Valley.

This is new. Where did
you get this information?

Yeah, later. It's a
Gössen family project.

And I've learned that the land
was repurposed for their benefit.

They're now allowed to
build in a conservation area.

And maybe we should have a look
at how they managed to do that.

I came across an interview

that an environmental activist
gave to a local channel,

a TV report about the protests
against the planned building

of the luxury chalets
in the Ziller Valley.

OK...

The repurposing of the conservation area

into land for building
is based solely on reports

produced by "independent" experts who
were already working for the Gössens.

And the real scandal is there
were already earlier reports

which specifically warned
against development.

And these reports which the
land development office had

were destroyed just six months before
the land was repurposed in a fire

whose cause is unknown. There
are no electronic copies.

Do you have proof that these
documents actually existed?

If we already had proof, building
would be halted immediately

and we wouldn't be holding
out here day and night, right?

Thank you.

Ms Eberharter had
access to the archives.

That means, theoretically, she
could have started the fire.

Maybe what Ina Meyer is
saying here isn't so absurd.

If Ms Eberharter did that,

then we can assume she
received something for it.

If we suppose that the
Gössens are behind it all,

they could solve a problem like
this in a more sophisticated way.

We should at least check the
accounts for irregularities.

Isn't it all a bit far-fetched

that you'd take brutal, murderous revenge
on the puppet, not the puppet master?

We don't know Ms
Eberharter's role in this.

As we know, Tobias Dorfmeister
was murdered last night.

Your orders were that the case should
remain with Salzburg CID for now

because they had a series of burglaries
where the homeowner was seriously injured.

Fine, but there's another connection.

Tobias Dorfmeister
was facing bankruptcy,

but was able to save his company
with the money he got from his father.

For his part, he got the money from
selling land to Gössen Construction,

the very place where the
luxury chalets are to be built.

That means the two
murders could be connected.

There appears at least to be a common
motive, however different they may be.

The activists.

Yes, we need to investigate them.

How do you know all this?

I was in the Ziller Valley
and spoke to the site manager

from Gössen Construction.

You're twisting things a bit.

OK, Pia, you get the documents
from the Dorfmeister murder.

We'll check them and if we discover
anything that backs up this theory,

the case comes to us.

Several officers have stated

that Mr Winter often
seemed tired and distracted.

I take it you know how gruelling
work on a task force can be.

Problems sleeping are the
rule rather than the exception.

That doesn't explain his absences.

It also involves having to react to things
on impulse without consulting others.

You know this if you've
worked on a task force before.

Ms Stocker, please, has
Mr Winter done his job?

- Yes or no?
- Yes, to the best of my knowledge.

During your last case,
the serial killings,

did you get the feeling
that Mr Winter...

was under the influence
of drugs or medication?

No.

- Are you sure?
- Yes.

Some say the case could have been
solved more effectively without him

and a murder prevented. Do you agree?

I don't know how much you
know about real police work,

but you don't find a killer
by googling the word "killer".

Well, then, I'm sure
you'll explain it to me.

It's like a jigsaw puzzle with
1,000 pieces, but you only have 250.

Nevertheless, you have to be
able to create a complete picture.

Gedeon Winter and I worked together.

We did our best to prevent
further murders. End of.

Look, Ms Stocker, we have an incomplete
puzzle in front of us with many pieces.

Unlike your work, however, we
know who holds the missing pieces.

And that's you.

This glow in the forest.

I went towards it.

I called out her name.

But she didn't answer me.

Mr Zacher, I'm sorry, but the sooner and
more precisely you tell us what you saw,

the greater the chance
we'll find the killer.

The fire...

It seemed to me like something
was moving behind the flames.

I tried to see what it was.

And then?

Someone was there.

Just for a second.

Just appeared from nowhere.

Can you describe them?

Could you make out anything?

He didn't have a face.

I ran away.

I couldn't help her. I just couldn't.

He fired a gun at me.

I just ran.

He fired a gun at you?

OK, so it must have been
fired from over there

and according to his own
testimony, Zacher stood about here.

That means, if the bullet missed him,
then we should find it in this area.

OK, let's go.

I have to go.

Has it something to do with the Gössens?

Who are you actually
after? The killer or me?

Is there such a difference?

You're paranoid.

You're corrupt.

Is this your idea of
how to run a task force?

I'm not giving up so easily.

Sequere me, te protegam.

Sequere me, te protegam.
Sequere me, te protegam.

Sequere me, te protegam.
