A house search ends disastrously and still the officers don't know how the suspects and the murders are connected. To solve the case, Ellie and Gedeon go beyond their limits.
Take cover!
There always has to be
someone who leads the way.
There always has to be
someone who leads the way.
They're scared of us.
Yeah.
Because they know very well...
that we're right.
But they can't stop us.
Right, sweetie?
What gives them the right to
tell us how we have to live?
What gives them the right to

We are one.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I love you.

Get Polt back in here, please.
I don't know where to start.
We haven't got anything on Polt.
No apparent link to
the murder victims.

No motive, no connection

And we don't have much time

Schuchter motorbike accident.

He was exclaustrated

Hello, Mr Riedle. Could

Just a second.

You were questioned
about Samir Schuchter.

You came to my yard
with a colleague, right?

It wasn't an accident.
It was a hit and run.

It's one of a series of
murders we're investigating.
You knew Mrs Irmgard Polt?
Sure.
Sure.
She lived here.
She died some time ago.
But she died a natural death.
That's not certain.
That's not certain.
Did you know her well?
No, not really.
There are people you
like more than others.
I'm not sure if I
should say this, but...
I'm not sure if I
should say this, but...
Mrs Polt wasn't a
very nice person.
Domineering.
Do you know her son?
- Her son?
- Hm.

Not really.
I think I saw him once
in the retirement home.
I was with Mrs Polt in her room.

I didn't hear him come in.
Suddenly, he was there.
He waited.

Then I left. That was it.

And did you meet
him again later?

Do you know this person?
Have you ever seen this man?
Maybe he was at the home.
No, sorry. I don't know him.
You're sure you've
never had any contact?
No, not that I know of.
Who is he?
Who is he?
OK then, thanks very
much for your time.
Goodbye.

We need a search warrant for Riedle's
house and access to his computer.

You look tired.
You were in a monastery.
Why were you exclaustrated?
Why were you exclaustrated?
Lies.
- Misunderstandings?
- Yeah.
- Misunderstandings?
- Yeah.
It must have been a bit more
than a misunderstanding.
Otherwise, you wouldn't have had to
leave the monastery. Think again.
Otherwise, you wouldn't have had to
leave the monastery. Think again.
Maybe a liking
for underage kids?
I didn't do anything.
These are statements
from children.
There's nothing sick
here apart from you.
"Children had to kill
new-born animals.
Cats, mice.
Ointments were then made
from blood and innards,
and wounds patched up.
Children were
massaged with them."

What else was there...
that the church didn't mention in
their report in order to save face?

That is abuse.
That is abuse.
No.
Now listen to me.
Your mother believed the kids
more than you, her own son.

She heard a lie and repeated it.
Just because we keep repeating
something doesn't mean it's true!

I just brought the children
closer to the divine.
I just brought the children
closer to the divine.
So why were the children scared?
Because the divine is scary.
Because the divine is scary.
We're scared of death, but
we've forgotten another fear.
Have you ever seen a new-born
child screaming? We all scream.
Blood-stained creatures
who see the light of day.
When we open our eyes, it hurts.
When we open our eyes, it hurts.
You believe that?
I'm not lying.
I'm not lying.
I never lie.
Lies are the source of all evil.
Lies are the source of all evil.
Why would the children lie?
Because they got used to lying.
Because we've all got used to lying.
And it makes us
sick and stupid...
And it makes us
sick and stupid...
and evil.
The children were evil.
We all need to be categorised, but
not by God, only by man himself.
The church tells us what's
right and wrong, good and evil,
The church tells us what's
right and wrong, good and evil,
but they're just templates we've
filled in for thousands of years.
And if we ever find out
that black isn't black

that black isn't black
and red isn't red,
then it hurts,
then it hurts!
Satan magister te protectat.
Sequere me, te protegam.
I didn't do anything that
God didn't want me to do.
Like Jackl.
We have a problem.
He has to go up before the
judge today or be released.
He has to go up before the
judge today or be released.
Shit, yeah, I know.
I need to talk to him again.
I know there's a link
between you and the murders.
I'd like to know what it is.
I didn't kill anyone.
Did you visit your mother
at the retirement home?
Did you visit your mother
at the retirement home?
Yes, twice.
Once to see if she was still alive
and once to make sure she was dead.
Do you know Felix Riedle?
Do you know Felix Riedle?
Yes, I met him at
the retirement home.
The first or second time?
The first time.
The first time.
What was this meeting
like? What did it lead to?
Some people are
destined to meet.
Some people are
destined to meet.
Once you realise that, you have a duty
to explore and understand it. That's all.
Why were you meant
to meet Mr Riedle?
Why were you meant
to meet Mr Riedle?
In order to listen to him... and
to understand him. You know that.
- Like Kai Markstein.
- It applies to all my pupils.
- Like Kai Markstein.
- It applies to all my pupils.
Could Mr Riedle tell us anything
that would incriminate you?
What do you think that would be?
That he's your
connection to Haas?
That he's your
connection to Haas?
Are you desperate, Ellie?
Are you desperate?
Are you desperate?
Did you kill Samir Schuchter,
Marianne Eberharter,
Tobias Dorfmeister
and Peter Lechner?
- I didn't kill anyone.
- But you know who did!
- I didn't kill anyone.
- But you know who did!
You can't force anyone to do
anything they're not willing to do.
That's true for the killer
as well as the victim.
Nothing in this world
happens purely by chance.
You see, whenever
there is justice,
You see, whenever
there is justice,
there is also injustice.
The question then is simply
who decides which one is which.
The question then is simply
who decides which one is which.
The lawmaker.
The purpose of justice
is to correct injustice.
Yes, you can look
at it that way,
Yes, you can look
at it that way,
but you and your
colleague know very well
that sometimes even the lawmaker
has to mete out injustice
in order to restore justice.
What are you then?
What are you then?
Ellie? Are you then
a killer or a victim?
Tell me.
Take him before the judge. We can't
let him go while things are unclear.
- Got a search warrant for Riedle?
- No.
- Then find something that'll get us one.
- Ms Stocker, tell me!
- Then find something that'll get us one.
- Ms Stocker, tell me!
Mr Winter had a brain aneurysm.
Its size and location
were critical.

Probably a long-term effect

But he was lucky. We were able to

But he was lucky. We were able to
intervene just in time and operate
before it resulted in a rupture.
But he's not out
of the woods yet.
Narrowing of the blood
vessels in the brain can occur
Narrowing of the blood
vessels in the brain can occur
in the next three
to seven days...
I don't believe it.
Ellie, Heller had
Riedle's Audi checked out.
It belongs to Kusev.
Kusev is Felix Riedle's father.
That's enough for a search warrant.
Kusev is Felix Riedle's father.
That's enough for a search warrant.
- Police!
- Police!

- Police!
Clear!
He's not at the retirement home
either. Only his car is here.

I'll take the laptop
to Sven. How's Gedeon?
- We'll see.
- OK, see you later.
- We'll see.
- OK, see you later.
Ciao.
We'll put out an APW
on Riedle right away.
Sequere me, te protegam.
How did you find me?
How did you find me?
Sequere me, te protegam.
SMTP, the same four initials.
Did you meet Polt
here in the cave?
Did he teach you here?
Did he teach you here?
He understood me.
He listened to me.
He protected me.
Did he want you to
do something for him?
Did Polt order you
to kill your father?
Did Polt order you
to kill your father?
I don't need anyone
to tell me what to do.
My father...
beat my mother.
When she stopped moving,
he took it out on me.
When she stopped moving,
he took it out on me.
"Toughening up", he called it.
Then he absconded,
changed his name
and disappeared.
I was scared he'd turn up
at the door again one day.
I was scared he'd turn up
at the door again one day.
How did he find you?
He called.
Just when I was starting not
to think about him every day.
Just when I was starting not
to think about him every day.
But it was clear to
me he wouldn't stop.
One day, instead of calling, he'd
become part of my life again.
And beat my "no" into a "yes".
So, I tried to find
him before he found me.
So, I tried to find
him before he found me.
I thought I'd feel some
satisfaction when I shot him.
But there was nothing.
Nothing at all.
Nothing at all.
I felt nothing.
Like he said, his
beatings toughened me up.
No... feelings.
No... feelings.
No...
emotions.
But there was this brief
moment before he died.
It was...
pure...
and innocent.
It was the most intense
feeling I'd ever experienced.
It was the most intense
feeling I'd ever experienced.
And then?
Then it was gone.
I wondered if I could
experience it again.
I wondered if I could
experience it again.
This moment.
I wanted to feel
something again.
I wanted to feel
something again.
After all this time, I finally
realised what I was missing.
Do you understand?
Do you understand?
I didn't want to let
go of that feeling.
Why feel half-empty
when you can feel whole?
Why feel half-empty
when you can feel whole?
Death is somewhat incidental,
but the moment when...
but the moment when...
life escapes from the body...
is special.
Is special.
I looked for photos, for
videos, but it wasn't the same.
I looked for photos, for
videos, but it wasn't the same.
Experiencing it yourself
has a special energy.
- So you wanted to reproduce it?
- The thought of it has never gone away.
- So you wanted to reproduce it?
- The thought of it has never gone away.
I always told myself I would
only do it one more time.
I just wanted to experience
this feeling one more time.
The feeling I was looking for only
lasted a few seconds this time too.
The feeling I was looking for only
lasted a few seconds this time too.
Then it was gone again.
Yeah, so you looked
for new victims?
They would have died anyway.
Natural selection.
Their time had come.
Their time had come.
I was just able to be there. I
was given these wonderful moments.
I took photos to try
and capture the moment.
I took photos to try
and capture the moment.
But what can I say?
It doesn't work.
It doesn't work.
Nothing works
beyond the moment...
when it actually happens.
Why did you choose these
people in particular?
It was about how
they died, not them.
It was about how
they died, not them.
Dorfmeister, Eberharter?
- Schuchter, Lechner?
- I don't know them.
I let fate decide whether
they should live... or not.
I let fate decide whether
they should live... or not.
It could have been anybody?
In principle, yes.
Fate decides.
If they weren't meant to die,
it wouldn't have happened.
Do you understand?
Do you understand?
- Everyone has a fair chance.
- You took their lives. You killed them.
No, no, no. I... I
gave them a new life.
No, no, no. I... I
gave them a new life.
I gave them a new life.
There is no end.
Everything is the
start of something.
Everything is the
start of something.
Birth as well as death. It's...
all the same.
That's what Polt told you?
That's what Polt told you?
Yes, but it's true, isn't it?
How did you know
what fate intended?
The dice.
The dice.
Alpha - you live...
omega - you die.
Omega - you die.
I'm saying everything
is as it should be.
I believe we have the power in our
hands, but the truth is, we don't use it.
I believe we have the power in our
hands, but the truth is, we don't use it.
No!
It's over.
It's over.
Felix Riedle.
He killed himself in the cave.
And Polt?
We'll have to let him go.
There's no proof that he
had anything to do with it.
There's no proof that he
had anything to do with it.
But he got him to do something.
How? Only he knows.
So much for "sequere
me, te protegam".
Promise me you'll get better.
None of this is any
fun without you.
Can I help you with something?
- Ms Stocker?
- Yeah.
- Ms Stocker?
- Yeah.
I'm from Internal
Affairs. Got a minute?
We have a few
questions to ask you.
Only briefly.
Shall we?
Satan magister te protectat.
Sequere me, te protegam.
I need a pen and paper, please.
I need a pen and paper, please.
I'll get that for you.
And I need my phone.
- Where were you two nights ago?
- At home.
- Where were you two nights ago?
- At home.
- Can anyone confirm that?
- No.
Two nights ago, there
was a murder in Vienna.
So?
So?
The victim was shot with the
same calibre gun as Ms Antic.
That means it was at least a similar
type of weapon to this one here.
That means it was at least a similar
type of weapon to this one here.
If I assume that you were right
and Gedeon Winter did
steal the murder weapon
and Gedeon Winter did
steal the murder weapon
in the Antic case from
the evidence room,
it would be possible that it is
the same gun. What do you think?
That's highly unlikely. There are
numerous weapons of the same calibre.
That's highly unlikely. There are
numerous weapons of the same calibre.
Yes.
I thought that too, of course.
But just to be sure I've
ordered a ballistics report
But just to be sure I've
ordered a ballistics report
and I'm fairly sure the
results won't surprise me.
Do you know an Oskar Koschlick?
- Who's that?
- He's the murder victim.
He ran an artists'
commune in the 1970s
He ran an artists'
commune in the 1970s
and do you know who lived there?
You're about to tell me.
Gedeon Winter.
Gedeon Winter.
I think it's time you
told us the truth.
The truth? You're only interested
in pinning something on me.
The truth? You're only interested
in pinning something on me.
Go ahead, but if all you have is
mere conjecture and pure speculation,
Go ahead, but if all you have is
mere conjecture and pure speculation,
we should end all
this right now.
There's a witness who
saw a man and a woman
after the murder at
Koschlick's house.
And her description
matches Mr Winter and you.
And her description
matches Mr Winter and you.
Did she see one of them
committing the murder?
I'll take that as a no.
If that's all you've
got, I think I can go.
I'd like to go to
the hospital now.
- What? What do you want now?
- Have you got the weapon?
What do you want me to
say? That I've got it?
- It's not about what I want.
- Is that right?
- It's not about what I want.
- Is that right?
Did Nadine Hofer send you?
I'm certain that Gedeon
Winter shot Koschlick
and you were there too
for whatever reason.
And you were there too
for whatever reason.
But I don't understand
what's happened to you.
You tried so hard to find him guilty
and now you're protecting him.
Why the sudden change of heart?
Has Gedeon got something on you?
I...
I was mistaken.
Now I'm making up
for my mistake.
Gedeon is lying here in
hospital fighting for his life.
Gedeon is lying here in
hospital fighting for his life.
Having sympathy for someone
doesn't make them less guilty.
It's interesting that
you should say that now.
It's interesting that
you should say that now.
I understand your
loyalty to him.
But no one is above the law.
Neither he nor you.
And who says what
is right by law?
And who says what
is right by law?
Is it not the case that
sometimes an injustice is needed,
so that justice can be restored?
So that justice can be restored?
Give me the gun.
Give me the gun.
Is it still in your car?
I need to go now.
I need to go now.
I'm sorry we both didn't
make a better job of it.
Ellie, it's not like this.
It mustn't end like this.
Hey.
All right?
There is a connection.

We just didn't understand.
Samir.
Marianne. Tobias. Peter.
The first names of our victims.
These are the children...
The children from
Polt's youth group.
The children who
betrayed him back then.
The answer was staring us
in the face the whole time.
The whole time.
We just didn't see it.
We just didn't see it.
Gedeon...
Gedeon...
Hey!
Gedeon, please...
Please...
He punished those
who betrayed him
without leaving
any traces behind.
He controlled those who
proved themselves worthy.
But the scariest thing about the story
of Jackl the Knacker from Salzburg is...

- Yeah.

- Yeah.
It must have been a bit more
than a misunderstanding.
Otherwise, you wouldn't have had to
leave the monastery. Think again.
Otherwise, you wouldn't have had to

Maybe a liking
for underage kids?
I didn't do anything.
These are statements
from children.
There's nothing sick
here apart from you.
"Children had to kill
new-born animals.
Cats, mice.
Ointments were then made
from blood and innards,
and wounds patched up.
Children were
massaged with them."

What else was there...
that the church didn't mention in
their report in order to save face?

That is abuse.

No.
Now listen to me.
Your mother believed the kids
more than you, her own son.

She heard a lie and repeated it.
Just because we keep repeating
something doesn't mean it's true!

I just brought the children
closer to the divine.
I just brought the children
closer to the divine.
So why were the children scared?
Because the divine is scary.
Because the divine is scary.
We're scared of death, but
we've forgotten another fear.
Have you ever seen a new-born
child screaming? We all scream.
Blood-stained creatures
who see the light of day.
When we open our eyes, it hurts.
When we open our eyes, it hurts.
You believe that?
I'm not lying.
I'm not lying.
I never lie.
Lies are the source of all evil.
Lies are the source of all evil.
Why would the children lie?
Because they got used to lying.
Because we've all got used to lying.
And it makes us
sick and stupid...
And it makes us
sick and stupid...
and evil.
The children were evil.
We all need to be categorised, but
not by God, only by man himself.
The church tells us what's
right and wrong, good and evil,

right and wrong, good and evil,

filled in for thousands of years.
And if we ever find out

Satan magister te protectat.
Sequere me, te protegam.
I didn't do anything that
God didn't want me to do.
Like Jackl.
We have a problem.
He has to go up before the
judge today or be released.
He has to go up before the
judge today or be released.
Shit, yeah, I know.
I need to talk to him again.
I know there's a link
between you and the murders.
I'd like to know what it is.
I didn't kill anyone.
Did you visit your mother
at the retirement home?
Did you visit your mother
at the retirement home?
Yes, twice.
Once to see if she was still alive
and once to make sure she was dead.
Do you know Felix Riedle?
Do you know Felix Riedle?
Yes, I met him at
the retirement home.
The first or second time?
The first time.
The first time.
What was this meeting
like? What did it lead to?
Some people are
destined to meet.
Some people are
destined to meet.
Once you realise that, you have a duty
to explore and understand it. That's all.
Why were you meant
to meet Mr Riedle?
Why were you meant
to meet Mr Riedle?
In order to listen to him... and
to understand him. You know that.
- Like Kai Markstein.
- It applies to all my pupils.
- Like Kai Markstein.
- It applies to all my pupils.
Could Mr Riedle tell us anything
that would incriminate you?
What do you think that would be?
That he's your
connection to Haas?
That he's your
connection to Haas?
Are you desperate, Ellie?
Are you desperate?
Are you desperate?
Did you kill Samir Schuchter,
Marianne Eberharter,
Tobias Dorfmeister
and Peter Lechner?
- I didn't kill anyone.
- But you know who did!
- I didn't kill anyone.
- But you know who did!
You can't force anyone to do
anything they're not willing to do.
That's true for the killer
as well as the victim.
Nothing in this world
happens purely by chance.
You see, whenever
there is justice,
You see, whenever
there is justice,
there is also injustice.
The question then is simply
who decides which one is which.
The question then is simply
who decides which one is which.
The lawmaker.
The purpose of justice
is to correct injustice.
Yes, you can look
at it that way,
Yes, you can look
at it that way,
but you and your
colleague know very well
that sometimes even the lawmaker
has to mete out injustice
in order to restore justice.
What are you then?
What are you then?
Ellie? Are you then
a killer or a victim?
Tell me.
Take him before the judge. We can't
let him go while things are unclear.
- Got a search warrant for Riedle?
- No.
- Then find something that'll get us one.
- Ms Stocker, tell me!
- Then find something that'll get us one.
- Ms Stocker, tell me!
Mr Winter had a brain aneurysm.
Its size and location
were critical.

Probably a long-term effect

But he's not out

Narrowing of the blood

vessels in the brain can occur
in the next three

I don't believe it.
Ellie, Heller had
Riedle's Audi checked out.
It belongs to Kusev.
Kusev is Felix Riedle's father.
That's enough for a search warrant.
Kusev is Felix Riedle's father.
That's enough for a search warrant.

Clear!
He's not at the retirement home
either. Only his car is here.

I'll take the laptop
to Sven. How's Gedeon?
- We'll see.
- OK, see you later.
- We'll see.
- OK, see you later.
Ciao.
We'll put out an APW
on Riedle right away.
Sequere me, te protegam.
How did you find me?

SMTP, the same four initials.
Did you meet Polt
here in the cave?
Did he teach you here?
Did he teach you here?
He understood me.
He listened to me.
He protected me.
Did he want you to
do something for him?
Did Polt order you
to kill your father?
Did Polt order you
to kill your father?
I don't need anyone
to tell me what to do.
My father...
beat my mother.
When she stopped moving,
he took it out on me.
When she stopped moving,
he took it out on me.
"Toughening up", he called it.
Then he absconded,
changed his name
and disappeared.
I was scared he'd turn up
at the door again one day.
I was scared he'd turn up
at the door again one day.
How did he find you?
He called.
Just when I was starting not
to think about him every day.
Just when I was starting not
to think about him every day.
But it was clear to
me he wouldn't stop.
One day, instead of calling, he'd
become part of my life again.
And beat my "no" into a "yes".
So, I tried to find
him before he found me.
So, I tried to find
him before he found me.
I thought I'd feel some
satisfaction when I shot him.
But there was nothing.
Nothing at all.
Nothing at all.
I felt nothing.
Like he said, his
beatings toughened me up.
No... feelings.
No... feelings.
No...
emotions.
But there was this brief
moment before he died.
It was...
pure...
and innocent.
It was the most intense
feeling I'd ever experienced.
It was the most intense
feeling I'd ever experienced.
And then?
Then it was gone.
I wondered if I could
experience it again.
I wondered if I could
experience it again.
This moment.
I wanted to feel
something again.
I wanted to feel
something again.
After all this time, I finally
realised what I was missing.
Do you understand?
Do you understand?
I didn't want to let
go of that feeling.
Why feel half-empty
when you can feel whole?

Death is somewhat incidental,
but the moment when...
but the moment when...
life escapes from the body...
is special.
Is special.
I looked for photos, for
videos, but it wasn't the same.
I looked for photos, for

Experiencing it yourself
has a special energy.
- So you wanted to reproduce it?
- The thought of it has never gone away.

I always told myself I would
only do it one more time.
I just wanted to experience
this feeling one more time.
The feeling I was looking for only
lasted a few seconds this time too.
The feeling I was looking for only
lasted a few seconds this time too.
Then it was gone again.
Yeah, so you looked
for new victims?
They would have died anyway.
Natural selection.
Their time had come.
Their time had come.
I was just able to be there. I
was given these wonderful moments.
I took photos to try
and capture the moment.
I took photos to try
and capture the moment.
But what can I say?
It doesn't work.
It doesn't work.
Nothing works
beyond the moment...
when it actually happens.
Why did you choose these
people in particular?
It was about how
they died, not them.
It was about how
they died, not them.
Dorfmeister, Eberharter?
- Schuchter, Lechner?
- I don't know them.
I let fate decide whether
they should live... or not.
I let fate decide whether
they should live... or not.
It could have been anybody?
In principle, yes.
Fate decides.
If they weren't meant to die,
it wouldn't have happened.
Do you understand?
Do you understand?
- Everyone has a fair chance.
- You took their lives. You killed them.
No, no, no. I... I
gave them a new life.
No, no, no. I... I
gave them a new life.
I gave them a new life.
There is no end.
Everything is the
start of something.
Everything is the
start of something.
Birth as well as death. It's...
all the same.
That's what Polt told you?
That's what Polt told you?
Yes, but it's true, isn't it?
How did you know
what fate intended?
The dice.
The dice.
Alpha - you live...
omega - you die.
Omega - you die.
I'm saying everything
is as it should be.
I believe we have the power in our
hands, but the truth is, we don't use it.
I believe we have the power in our
hands, but the truth is, we don't use it.
No!
It's over.
It's over.
Felix Riedle.
He killed himself in the cave.
And Polt?
We'll have to let him go.
There's no proof that he
had anything to do with it.
There's no proof that he
had anything to do with it.
But he got him to do something.
How? Only he knows.
So much for "sequere
me, te protegam".
Promise me you'll get better.
None of this is any
fun without you.
Can I help you with something?
- Ms Stocker?
- Yeah.
- Ms Stocker?
- Yeah.
I'm from Internal
Affairs. Got a minute?
We have a few
questions to ask you.
Only briefly.
Shall we?
Satan magister te protectat.
Sequere me, te protegam.
I need a pen and paper, please.
I need a pen and paper, please.
I'll get that for you.
And I need my phone.
- Where were you two nights ago?
- At home.
- Where were you two nights ago?
- At home.
- Can anyone confirm that?
- No.
Two nights ago, there
was a murder in Vienna.
So?
So?
The victim was shot with the
same calibre gun as Ms Antic.
That means it was at least a similar
type of weapon to this one here.
That means it was at least a similar
type of weapon to this one here.
If I assume that you were right
and Gedeon Winter did
steal the murder weapon
and Gedeon Winter did
steal the murder weapon
in the Antic case from
the evidence room,
it would be possible that it is
the same gun. What do you think?
That's highly unlikely. There are
numerous weapons of the same calibre.
That's highly unlikely. There are
numerous weapons of the same calibre.
Yes.
I thought that too, of course.
But just to be sure I've
ordered a ballistics report
But just to be sure I've
ordered a ballistics report
and I'm fairly sure the
results won't surprise me.
Do you know an Oskar Koschlick?
- Who's that?
- He's the murder victim.
He ran an artists'
commune in the 1970s
He ran an artists'
commune in the 1970s
and do you know who lived there?
You're about to tell me.
Gedeon Winter.
Gedeon Winter.
I think it's time you
told us the truth.
The truth? You're only interested
in pinning something on me.
The truth? You're only interested
in pinning something on me.
Go ahead, but if all you have is
mere conjecture and pure speculation,
Go ahead, but if all you have is
mere conjecture and pure speculation,
we should end all
this right now.
There's a witness who
saw a man and a woman
after the murder at
Koschlick's house.
And her description
matches Mr Winter and you.
And her description
matches Mr Winter and you.
Did she see one of them
committing the murder?
I'll take that as a no.
If that's all you've
got, I think I can go.
I'd like to go to
the hospital now.
- What? What do you want now?
- Have you got the weapon?
What do you want me to
say? That I've got it?
- It's not about what I want.
- Is that right?
- It's not about what I want.
- Is that right?
Did Nadine Hofer send you?
I'm certain that Gedeon
Winter shot Koschlick
and you were there too
for whatever reason.
And you were there too
for whatever reason.
But I don't understand
what's happened to you.
You tried so hard to find him guilty
and now you're protecting him.
Why the sudden change of heart?
Has Gedeon got something on you?
I...
I was mistaken.
Now I'm making up
for my mistake.
Gedeon is lying here in
hospital fighting for his life.
Gedeon is lying here in
hospital fighting for his life.
Having sympathy for someone
doesn't make them less guilty.
It's interesting that
you should say that now.
It's interesting that
you should say that now.
I understand your
loyalty to him.
But no one is above the law.
Neither he nor you.
And who says what
is right by law?
And who says what
is right by law?
Is it not the case that
sometimes an injustice is needed,
so that justice can be restored?
So that justice can be restored?
Give me the gun.
Give me the gun.
Is it still in your car?
I need to go now.
I need to go now.
I'm sorry we both didn't
make a better job of it.
Ellie, it's not like this.
It mustn't end like this.
Hey.
All right?
There is a connection.
Riedle...
Riedle...
committed the
murders... for Polt.
Sequere...

Satan magister...

S... M...
T... P.
He told us.
He told us.
We just didn't understand.
Samir.
Marianne. Tobias. Peter.
The first names of our victims.
These are the children...
The children from
Polt's youth group.
The children who
betrayed him back then.
The answer was staring us
in the face the whole time.
The whole time.
We just didn't see it.
We just didn't see it.
Gedeon...
Gedeon...
Hey!
Gedeon, please...
Please...
He punished those
who betrayed him
without leaving
any traces behind.
He controlled those who
proved themselves worthy.
But the scariest thing about the story
of Jackl the Knacker from Salzburg is...
But the scariest thing about the story
of Jackl the Knacker from Salzburg is...
that he was never found.
