Is "The Magic-Jackl" familiar to you?

The Magic-Jackl?

It's a legend from the Salzburg region.

It's not our area of
expertise, but just a moment...

It's not our area of
expertise, but just a moment...

Go and see Dr Prugg in Salzburg.
He knows everything about legends.

CITIZENS OF THE REICH -

FOREIGNERS IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY

EXTREMIST CIVIL SERVANTS

PEOPLE WHO DON'T RECOGNISE GERMAN LAW

I don't know yet.
There's something in it.

Give me a bit more time.

I need to go and pick something up.

You live your life...

...and everything you have left at
the end of it fits inside a shoe box.

My mother died.

I'm sorry.

We weren't that close.

Maybe I should have said goodbye.

Gedeon?

Gedeon?

Gedeon!

What's wrong?

The bullet is out,

but pain has taken its place.

Sometimes I'm afraid I'm
losing my mind, Ellie.

I grew up in a commune.

With my mother.

There were several women
there, several children.

And an artist.

Oskar Koschlick.

I was there for two or three years.

He had this project.

Sleeping boys.

I saw the pictures.

Koschlick was the type
who took what he wanted.

I've been looking for
him for a long time.

I haven't managed to find him.

Everyone has a task in life.

I haven't solved mine yet.

Normally, contact between two parties

who want to remain anonymous

operates by having a
web mail account created

where they communicate
via a draft folder.

Huh?

Simply put... If one of them wants
to tell the other person something,

they write an email, but don't send it.

It stays in the drafts folder.

The other person, who has the password
for the account sent by normal post,

finds the message in the drafts folder.

- Clever.
- Yeah.

They delete it, write
their message as a draft...

and so on.

So, it's unlikely that
anyone will discover it.

How can I retrieve it?

Spyware.

Put a USB drive in the
computer in question,

upload the program,

and you have access to all
the actions on that computer.

When the person in question
logs into the account,

then you will know what's going on.

I want that kind of USB drive.

It's illegal.

I want that kind of USB drive.

Mr Riedle?

Heller, Salzburg CID. We
have a few more questions.

There's been a development in the
motorbike accident investigation,

so we wanted to take
your statement again.

I already told your
colleagues everything.

I went for a drive.

In the Audi over there?

Yes, but it's not mine.

It belongs to my dad.

I like driving it around the area.

Like on the day of the accident?

I drove up the pass road

and then I saw the man
lying in the tunnel.

I didn't realise that
it was a person at first,

with the backlighting.

I thought it was an animal.

I waited for a bit.

If it was a wounded animal,

it could be dangerous.

Did you notice a wire on the road,

at the edge of the
road or anywhere else?

A wire?

No.

Anything else you didn't tell our
colleagues, maybe something you saw?

A man.

- A man?
- He came out of the forest.

He was questioned by the police
too. They might know this.

- The other man who came to help?
- He didn't help.

He just watched.

OK, that's it for now.

Thanks a lot. Goodbye.

- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.

We have to assume Samir Schuchter
is one of our killer's victims.

A witness saw someone close to the scene

of the accident the
day after it happened.

He described the person as a "shadow."

All he could make out was a silhouette.

I saw someone too, very
close to the cave there.

A dark figure.

A silhouette.

I'd say our suspect is very
good at camouflaging himself.

That's not a lot, but
it is a start at least.

DNA analysis of the objects in the cave

hasn't produced any matches yet.

Blood was found on the stones,

but lab analysis confirms
it is animal blood.

In the cave itself, apart
from the items listed,

we didn't find any everyday objects.

The cave seems to be
more of a ritual spot.

This is shown by...

the Virgin of Mercy which
was carved into the wall

and this Latin phrase
which is on the wall,

"Sequere me, te protegam."

The desecration of the statue of Mary

might also suggest a
rejection of Catholic belief.

I suspect it is a specific
hatred of the maternal figure.

He's making Mary unrecognisable.

She's the mother of all mothers and he's
taking away her identity and femininity.

Do you think the saying is connected?

"Follow me, I'll protect you."

I presume the killer sees himself
as the subject of the phrase,

which would indicate
fantastical delusions.

He sees himself as the focal
point of his world with his laws.

Maybe he sees himself
as a kind of protector.

It's just unclear who's
meant to be following him.

Thanks. Thanks.

...and whom he wants to protect...

Our killer has a role model.

Come on up.

Dr Prugg?

At the end of the 17th century...

in Salz burg, there was the biggest
witch hunt in the German-speaking world.

More than 200 young people and children

were accused of witchcraft and executed.

Do you want something to drink?

No, thanks.

The church needed a scapegoat.

Couldn't blame it on bad weather.

I definitely see parallels with today.

It's always about power, right?

And maintaining power.

To the homeland!

A TERRIBLE STORY OF THREE
SORCERESSES OF DERNEBURG

The church had to...

sow fear,

in order to reap power.

They talked about witches and sorcerers.

They were the guilty ones.

Something like that wears off quickly.

Without a name or a face.

But once a spark of hatred

and denunciation is ignited,

a raging fire is not far off.

So then they came up with a woman,

who had long seemed suspicious
to everyone, a slaughterwoman.

Under torture, the poor woman confessed

not only to being in
league with the devil,

she also accused her own son Jakob...

The Magic-Jackl.

Finally, the church
had what they wanted...

a scapegoat.

A devil.

At the time, Jakob had gathered a
large number of children around him.

They were virtually his slaves.

It is said that...

for those who wanted to belong to
his group, he performed a kind of...

consecration, scraping the
old baptism from their head.

Jackl must have had huge charisma.

Well, anyway, these
children were pursued,

captured and tortured.

They were supposed to betray Jackl.

Look. These are etchings

and original documents
from the show trials.

They're beautiful.

Belief in the devil was
widespread at the time.

Anything that couldn't be explained
was either the work of God...

or of the devil.

And what was Magic-Jackl?

A sorcerer? A shaman?

Who knows.

Look, good and evil only exist

because the other exists, right?

He existed.

Jackl was real.

And was he caught?

No.

Never.

You think he's still alive?

Satan magister te protectat.

Veritas filia temporis.

Satan magister te protectat.

Veritas filia temporis.

Satan magister te protectat.

Veritas filia temporis.

I...

te protegam.

- Hello.
- Phone and recording device.

In there?

I've only got my phone.

Right...

OK, come with me.

Heel.

It's safer down there.

Go to your place.

Have a seat.

Coffee?

Yes, please.

Sugar?

Thanks.

The mainstream media don't often
want to hear what I have to say.

The mainstream media don't often
want to hear what I have to say.

We're not mainstream.

We're independent.

But you do know the ownership
structure of the "Daily Post"?

Ask your questions and
I'll answer them truthfully.

You'll then report what I say in
edited form and taken out of context.

I'd like to write about you...

unadulterated and unbiased.

If you could create
the Germany you want,

what would you do?

You're good.

Where shall I start?

There are many mystical
places in the forest here.

Sacrificial stones, dark places.

People even say some rocks
have creatures living in them.

What sort of places?

I took all these pictures.

Our area is a special place.

The forest is a special place.

The Jackl knows that too.

Does this place have
something to do with the Jackl?

This rock is, without doubt, so old

that it must have witnessed quite a lot.

What exactly does all that
have to do with our case?

Where's the connection?

There are things the eye cannot see.

We simply reject any
rules, norms and conditions

which serve to maintain the
privileges of a business elite.

Or which soothe a society

that spends time on issues like gender

and so-called multiculturalism.

Or becomes paralysed with fear

when it is spooked by the media

about things like climate
change or the pandemic.

It's all just a distraction

from the real problems.

Which would be?

Unemployment, poverty,

the care crisis.

I get the impression you have a...

very distinct sense of
what's right and wrong.

Where does it come from?

I saw so much shit when
I served in the police.

I had to rescue children held
captive by drunken fathers.

I was used as target practice
for religious fanatics.

The world is full of scum.

And what do the courts do when
the police give them this scum?

They let you citizens pay
for them to laze around.

They let you citizens pay
for them to laze around.

People we should make short work of.

I need to go to the toilet.

You need to go across the
yard and into my house.

- When you go in, it's straight ahead.
- Thanks.

- When you go in, it's straight ahead.
- Thanks.

Where has the man got to?

Shall we go and see?

That's the rock.

It could be.

It could be.

We need to look at Markstein's
2010 interview again.

It's what Yvette wanted.

You didn't have a plan or anything?

It just sort of happened?

How did you choose the location?

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

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 again.

Suddenly, he was back again.

Who?

I told you that he lives in this place.

-He was always there.
-Who was?

He was.

He promised to protect us.

He...

I think Kai Markstein
knew the man in the forest.

He knew Jackl.

He knew Jackl.

We need to look through his notes.

We believe that our killer sees himself

We believe that our killer sees himself

as a kind of Magic-Jackl

and Kai Markstein knew
him, or at least met him.

If we look more closely at the drawings,

we see similarities to
the descriptions of Jackl.

What does this mean?

We're looking for a myth?

We're looking for a myth?

Seriously?

We need to look through Kai
Markstein's notes and diaries.

He wrote a lot.

We hope to find clues about the
killer. Maybe meeting places.

Markstein wasn't right in the
head. He could've drawn anyone.

Maybe, but it is a fair assumption

that the killer is emulating
the Jackl character in some way.

that the killer is emulating
the Jackl character in some way.

We're looking for someone
who identifies with Jackl.

We need to look at what motive emerges
if we take his perspective on Jackl.

The Jackl was hunted down.

He was portrayed as the devil.

To you, Turek.

Do you understand now?

Good.

Due to lack of time, I'd
like to butt in briefly.

Today, I'd like to gather all the facts,

so we can understand to what extent
Gedeon Winter broke the rules.

It's not just about internal procedures,

but also whether his
conduct was criminal.

but also whether his
conduct was criminal.

Then make it quick,
please. I have to go.

Just for the record, you're not
aware of any misconduct by Winter

or what he did in his spare time?

What are you getting at? I
can't tell you what I don't know.

- Do you want a quick break?
- No.

- Do you want a quick break?
- No.

I'm getting a glass of
water. Do you want one too?

- And you?
- Sure.

I don't understand you.

I don't understand what you're
trying to achieve with your silence.

- I don't understand what this is about.
- They want to nail you.

It's about Gedeon and you.

I'm trying to help you,
but you're not letting me.

You just need to
incriminate him. That's all.

I'm telling the truth.

Are you sure?

Are you sure?

You've got nothing concrete to go on.

Am I right?

You can't even tell who's
on your side any more.

Believe me, it's not going to get
any better for you from now on.

Coffee?

I think we've found something.

In his notes, Markstein keeps mentioning
a place where he met a teacher.

And the Latin phrase as well.
"Satan magister te protectat."

"Master Satan protects you."

That's their connection, "SMTP".

Any chance of finding
out where they met?

I'm on it.

I'm on it.

Just a moment.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Hello. May I?

I wanted to see you.

You need to go to my flat right away.

I have...

hidden it in one of the vases.

It's time to do the right thing.

Did Haas do this to you?

It won't get any better if I tell you.

Mr Turek, I'm very sorry I
dragged you into this. I...

I really didn't mean this to happen.

I brought it all on myself.
Don't worry about it.

I hope you can do
something with that. OK?

Thanks.

Ms Stocker.

I can't accept your thanks.

I took money from Theresa Gössen...

to throw suspicion on Ina Meyer.

To find a way of making sure the
protest camp could be cleared.

That way, Ms Stocker...

...was you.

You arsehole.

Markstein writes about
a teacher he kept meeting

until his arrest in 2010, then no more.

Based on his notes and sketches, I tried
to find the places on an actual map.

I started at the rock where
Yvette Grünbauer was sacrificed.

That's where the red dot is.

Then I tried to link up the prominent
places he describes, like the waterfall.

That way, we can narrow down the
area where he met his teacher.

accident was here. The cave's here.

And here's the place where
Ms Eberharter was killed.

Hey.

This should give you access
to Haas's internet activities.

Where did you get this?

Anonymous source.

Can we use it?

We got nowhere with
the hard drives, right?

I want us to monitor Haas's
