Original subtitles

Help yourself.

No, no. I've got diabetes.

No sugar.

It's pogača. Salty.

Salty? No, I can't eat salt either.

My grandmother's recipe.

She came from Germany. Taught me German. A little.

Where do you come from?

From Macedonia. It will be in the EU soon.

That may well be. I don't know about any of that.

I come from a small town.

That's why I go to Europe.

I want to work. My mom says, no, Milica, stay here.

But there are no opportunities.

Europe's big.

Europe's better.

I want to train in a restaurant. Learn to cook.

Yes, we can cook. You're right there.

But aren't you homesick for your family?

I've got my family with me all the time.

Every stone here is a sister, brother, and Mom.

And Dad.

I put them under my pillow at night.

Then they're with me wherever I am.

I'm Erika.

And I'm sure you'll be a very good cook.

PAGAN PEAK

NOW HE IS KILLING OUR CHILDREN

INSPECTOR E. STOCKER: COULD SHE HAVE SAVED HIM?

NEW EMAIL

AS REQUESTED, HERE IS THE ULTRASOUND IMAGE FROM YOUR LAST SCAN.

WHORE

I'm sure the decision is in your interest, Ms. Stocker.

You'll be out of the line of fire for now.

Mr. Widmann will take over from Mr. Wallinger

and will select someone to take charge of the case.

You will remain on the team,

but take a breather first, after all this stress.

Any questions?

Yes, I've got one. Are you bullshitting us?

You're doing the most stupid thing possible:

causing upheaval in an ongoing investigation with a political decision.

Is that your plan, Interior Secretary?

Mr. Winter, please.

Whether there will be upheaval depends on your behavior.

Be cooperative.

It will benefit everyone.

Mr. Widmann, all the best.

Where were you these past weeks and months? You've no idea.

Stocker and I are the only ones in a position to catch that man.

You two haven't got that far in the past weeks and months, though, have you?

Goodbye.

And you, you just let them throw you out.

I back their decision.

We made mistakes. These are the consequences.

"We made mistakes. These are the consequences."

You damn Germans are out of your minds.

Hey. I didn't know anyone else was in here.

Are you OK?

Bavarian Interior Secretary Joseph Klein also announced measures.

In a statement to press he spoke of restructuring in the police force,

saying that leading roles in the special unit would be reassigned.

Mistakes have been made in recent weeks, he continued.

Despite this, Klein is confident the perpetrator will soon be...

Ms. Stocker?

Yes.

Ms. Tander. I'm Mio's mother.

I'm sorry about what happened, Ms. Tander.

You know you could have stopped it if you'd caught him sooner.

He's been free for months. And what have you been doing?

I'm sorry.

What kind of people are you both?

Ms. Tander? What is it you want? You don't know me.

You want peace, but do you think for every injustice someone should take the blame?

What happened to your son is terrible.

But it's not that simple.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

Keep my name out of it.

Sure.

Goes without saying.

Everyone on the team's just doing what they personally think is right.

That doesn't necessarily mean it's wrong.

Ms. Baumgartner?

Charles Turek. Journalist with the Munich Newspaper.

Don't worry. I don't mean any harm.

On the contrary, I might be able to help you.

I hope you don't mind me saying: you look like you need help.

I need money.

We can talk about that.

Thanks.

Morning.

Turek speaking.

How do I know it's you?

What?

Where?

You know I have to report this to the police, right?

Hello?

Shit.

He is very technically minded. He hired the PO box under a false name.

He monitored it via a camera he installed.

Any leads are lost online.

He planned this way in advance.

What about our surveillance cameras? Have they been analyzed?

Yes. He must have put the stickers on the van later.

We spotted a white van at a border station

with the same license plate,

but the driver isn't recognizable.

What about the call from the woman? Why isn't anyone following that up?

We are, but it's one of many leads from the public.

A woman calls for help and says the perp is going to kill her.

That is more than a lead.

I'm on it, but no one's been reported missing in the area.

She spoke with an Eastern European accent.

Probably a foreigner and not missed by anyone.

Good. What do you suggest in concrete terms?

Shall we have eight square miles searched?

It's time someone set priorities in this case.

When I look at what you've done for the past few months...

This is interesting.

What exactly have we done wrong?

Yes, what?

Yes?

Yes?

Yes?

Yes, I'm there.

OK, see you.

- What are you doing here? - Charles Turek. Munich Newspaper.

This is a police operation. Leave the area.

- Is someone injured? - I can't say. Please leave.

I was contacted by the man in there. I told the police.

1-8-4-25-11. More shots have been fired at the farm.

Sorry, but I'm not doing this.

Give me the camera.

At 10am, a resident reported hearing shots from the neighboring farm...

near Bad Reichenhall.

A police patrol was sent to check the area.

The officers found the body of a 72-year-old man on the site.

When checking the building there was an exchange of fire

in which one officer was fatally shot.

The second officer was able to make it to safety

and call for help.

A SWAT team was sent immediately to the location.

Shots were likewise fired at the advancing SWAT team.

It was initially unclear how many gunmen there were.

The bomb, as was later established, was homemade.

It exploded from the basement of the building

and destroyed most of the cellar.

At 11.30am...

there was another exchange of fire

in which the masked perpetrator was seriously injured.

He died from his injuries a little later in the ambulance

on the way to the hospital.

The body at the farm has now been identified as the perpetrator's father.

The perpetrator is a young man of 27 years old, single.

A discontinued computer science degree.

He was already known to the police for various offences.

Are there indications that this could be the Krampus Killer?

There are indications that at least do not rule out this possibility.

- What indications? - Excuse me. May I?

I was there.

I saw the mask.

Is it him or isn't it?

At the moment, we assume so, however, at this time...

KRAMPUS KILLER DEAD!

PERPETRATOR DIES IN HAIL OF BULLETS

Ms. Stocker?

It's time.

Are you ready or would you like a few more minutes?

INTERVIEW WITH GEDEON WINTER

You can't talk to the press off your own back.

You're part of a team. You can't go solo.

What's wrong with you?

- Why say something like that? - Fallhuber is not the Krampus Killer.

Months ago, you used a case analyst, Christian Ressler.

His perpetrator profile is true of Fallhuber.

I quote: "Loner, strongly narcissistic tendencies,

of over-average intelligence."

We found books in his room on alpine myths.

A book about life in the wilderness, too.

Also a double-edged combat knife.

Hand guns, various devil and Krampus masks.

And then the bomb on top of all that.

You're making it very easy for yourself...

and you know it.

The press reported non-stop on this case.

Every ass out there knows his ideology, what weapons he uses, how he ticks.

Fallhuber was a fan, who had finally found a role model.

He could finally be on the front page like the Krampus Killer.

He's a copycat. Nothing more.

Then explain one more thing to me.

You brought a witness in for an unsuccessful line-up.

The mask carver Vincent Lang.

This is the identikit image that was created based on his statement.

This man is Ingo Fallhuber. You yourself were looking for him.

Yes.

But it's not him.

Mr. Winter, you are off the case with immediate effect.

I'll only go when it's over.

Yes, I do want a lawyer, after all. I won't be sidelined.

It's still my case. Mine and Ellie Stocker's.

- You know the journalist Charles Turek? - Yes, of course. Why?

Turek has been in touch with a lady called Louisa Baumgartner.

You'll know the name.

She was a member of Sebastian Brunner's sect.

And by her own admission, she was part of a police operation

that none of us wants appearing in the papers.

Turek wants access to investigation files. In return, he'll keep it out the papers.

Concentrate on the internal investigation against you instead.

Go home.

The case is over for you.

All the best, Mr. Winter.

You need to be aware, Ms. Stocker,

that when your father wakes up, he'll require nursing care.

OK.

I don't know what your family situation is,

but if you're interested in a care home

our hospital can help you find a suitable one.

Good.

Good to know.

What you're saying doesn't make sense.

I don't know if you can see clearly right now.

I understand that. After everything that's happened.

I can see clearly again for the first time in a long time.

What we did was a mistake.

It wasn't a mistake. It all depends on what we make of it now, Ellie.

I want to be with you. I'm here and I definitely won't walk away.

It's not about that. I know you won't walk away.

You became chief of police in your mid-30s,

because you take responsibility for everything and everyone.

You see things through. You're the most genuine, considerate person I know.

But it's still wrong.

What's wrong about it, Ellie?

We both fell in love with each other. What's wrong with that?

What's wrong with you?

What's really wrong with you?

I can't do this. This isn't me. I'm not like you.

I had...

Claas, there's nothing more you can do.

You're stepping down from the case? Voluntarily? Are you stupid?

There is no case anymore.

OK.

We both know that they've made a huge fuck-up.

They've got the wrong man.

You know it. I know it. No one believes me, though.

But they might believe you.

Talk to Klein. He may be clinging to his job like a limpet,

but he's not brain dead.

He knows that if the killer strikes again, he'll be the biggest jerk on duty.

You need to make sure he's shitting himself.

The case is closed.

You're making it really easy for yourself.

Throw it all in and then leave. Is that your plan?

What about the victims for whom it's too late?

And the families and people out there we have to protect?

You're an asshole.

It's about the victims for you? Seriously?

It's just about you.

The misunderstood Inspector Winter.

"No one's faced such depths of despair as I have."

"I really don't give a shit and that's why I am one."

Just because you've found meaning in your life again, don't drag me into it.

Wait. Wait a minute.

Wait.

If you chuck it in now,

it'll never let you go.

On the contrary, for me this case is already over.

All the best.

Tell me he's the Krampus Killer.

Look at me and say it.

Is he the man we've been looking for?

Look at me, Ellie.

Is it him? Is he the murderer?

Ellie? Ellie!

Wait, wait, wait! Ellie!

Stocker! Is it him?

Is it him?

1 YEAR LATER

No, I... I didn't see him.

He just started hitting me straight away.

And when I woke up again I was on my stomach...

But before he hit you, you must have seen his face.

For a second at least. Maybe you remember something.

Hair color, skin color, beard.

Excuse me. I think Ms. DeCarlo made it clear she hadn't seen the man.

Yes, but I need to know every detail

if we want to find the man who raped Ms. DeCarlo.

Yes?

I know about that. What's that got to do with me?

Mr. Turek may be presumptuous enough to write a book about it,

but I'm not interested and definitely won't release a statement.

Don't ever phone me again.

And? Have you seen it all?

Yes.

If you like seclusion, this is just right for you.

The previous tenant did up the kitchen. Small, but well equipped.

My husband always said, "If the kitchen's tiny, there's no room for me."

He didn't like cooking. Some men love it. Not him.

He even found food shopping too much like hard work.

He died last year. Liver cancer.

It still hasn't sunk in.

The garden, does it go down to the lake?

Yes, it does.

Beautiful, isn't it?

Yeah.

And so cheap. I thought it was a mistake at first.

The people are lining up for it, but who knows, you might be lucky.

It's just what I'm looking for.

- Who is it? - Winter.

Thanks for coming.

Come on. Get up. Go out. Have a walk.

Come on, get lost.

So, did he talk to you about the woods too?

Here. We only have Czech beer here.

I didn't sit in the car for three hours for a beer.

Where should I start?

At the beginning.

I went to Hamburg first. An old friend of mine lives there.

He sorted me out a room. I felt safe. I even went to the cinema.

And then the calls started.

First the telephone rang and when I answered

no one was there.

Then, one day, there was this call.

First just breathing.

And then a voice said:

"Run for your life if you can."

And?

I panicked.

I kept changing my number. I kept moving.

But he kept finding me.

These calls. All the time.

And some time later,

I read that you'd caught him.

And at the same time, the calls stopped.

I didn't hear from him for almost a year.

I was certain it was over.

And now, two weeks ago...

this arrived.

At a hotel in Lüneburg in which I was hiding.

A small hotel in the back of beyond. And this card arrives...

Delivered into my hands. I can't believe it.

Thanks for the information, Mr. Brunner. I'd like to keep this.

Just a minute. Where are you going?

I want police protection. Immediately.

Wrong address.

- What does that mean? - I'm on leave.

You assholes got me involved in this.

This would never have happened if it weren't for you.

You destroyed my life.

Things were good for me. I was happy.

Happiness is like a bird.

Where the fuck are you going?

He's still out there.

He's alive. He'll kill me.

Louisa Baumgartner, you remember her?

She took her life last week.

Maybe you'll see each other again.

Right on time for the red time of year.

Gedi!

Food's been delivered.

Can you hear me?

Gedeon!

Gedi, food!

Come on.

PUNISHMENT

"Striving to report on important subjects with passion and judgement

has often given me strength in my journalistic career.

In this case, however, that was sorely tested.

So I see the grueling work on the Krampus Killer case

as my most important professional experience.

I am grateful I was in the right place at the right time to make my contribution.

My contribution to getting to the truth in one of the most spectacular criminal cases

in German-Austrian police history."

Yes, good. Very good.

Many thanks once again to Mr. Turek. Now it's time for questions.

Yes.

Mr. Turek, the insights you obtained into police work are unbelievable.

- Yes. - How did you get access to police files?

Trade secret.

Great. Thank you.

Pleasure.

- Great reading. - Thank you.

Will there be a sequel?

For Marie-Lou, please.

Sorry, what do you mean he doesn't want to?

Think of something. You're a care home.

My dad won't be the only one having difficulties.

Yes.

Mr. Turek, something came for you by courier.

There you go.

I will visit him soon, but that doesn't solve the problem.

If my dad won't eat you need to get him to eat.

That's your job. I pay you a lot of money to do it.

Yes.

Good, yes. Thanks for your efforts.

See you.

Everything OK? Can I get anything for you?

Mr. Turek?

No, thanks.
