The DNA check on Hamed Rahimi

shows that he is almost certainly
the killer in the Josefine Schora case.

There are more traces
on the victim's running shirt.

Mr Berghoff, you're under arrest.

The phone got broken before 4 p.m.

when Tobias Berghoff
was still playing football.

I got something.
A murder in Austria.

They never solved it,
even though they found the weapon.

The iron bar probably came from a truck.

Maybe that tells us something
about his job.

We exchange information every morning.
No lead is too small. We have a chance.

Hidden in those 50,000 datasets
is probably the man

who killed Sylvie Peyrot
and Stefanie Berghoff.

THE BLACK FOREST MURDERS

Maybe this is all pointless.

You mean the presentation?

No, I mean he may not be a truck driver.

"He may not be a truck driver."

Motivating others isn't your forte, is it?

THE LONGEST NIGHT

- You going to send me the slide or not?
- In a minute.

But I mean, it's possible...

Sure, and it's possible
my aunt is my uncle, Navid.

- Your aunt...
- It's a figure of speech.

Navid, if we find out
it wasn't a truck driver,

we have... what?

- Well, we... what do we have?
- You only got three brain cells?

If we find out it wasn't a truck driver,
we can exclude it being a truck driver.

Great!

I'll stand in the town square and proclaim
we still don't have the killer,

but we know he's not a truck driver.

- People will be thrilled.
- Look at you.

You're less tense when you get angry.

- Are you a bit tense?
- Don't touch me.

Comparing the network logs of Steinach
and Buchingen brought no results.

OK...

This is the vetted toll data
from our Austrian colleagues.

This is Steinach,
only the weekend in question.

Yes, we had about 50,000 datasets
from the GO boxes.

We extracted 8,316 trucks
from 41 countries.

Please don't ask how we got to that point.

There are five relevant toll stations.
We excluded the trucks that raced past.

We then looked at where those
that did stop entered and exited.

Of the 8,316 trucks that had a break

on the weekend
when Sylvie Peyrot was murdered,

252 parked at the Steinach truck stop.

Yes, that's the problem.
We can't narrow it down below those 252.

252 potential suspects.

More.

It's often multiple drivers.

We tried to identify the vehicle make

based on the murder weapon,
the iron rod,

but none of the manufacturers could help.

Because the rod isn't significantly
different from model to model?

Apparently not.

- I'm sorry, I have to go.
- No problem.

- Excellent work. Thank you.
- Yes.

To all of you, by the way.

Thank you.

So, what's next?

Well, the Austrians need to pick up
on what those two have found out.

And us?

We all know that a task force
is a temporary thing.

In five days, we go back
to being an investigation team.

But we will make the most
of those five days.

DAY 101

Barbara?
Do you have a second?

- Sure.
- That iron rod...

Perhaps I should have
thought of this earlier, but...

Our team contacted truck manufacturers,

meaning their head offices.

But I thought: the people in head offices
don't really know the score.

Maybe we should check
with garages directly.

They're the experts.
If anyone can help, it's them.

- You're right.
- I've looked into this.

There are 12 major makes of truck
driving around Europe.

And there are 18 HGV garages
in this area.

How long will it take?

Depends how many people we use
and if we get the head mechanics.

Great. Let's give it a try.

Good work.

Yes.

- Tom? I've got the police on the phone.
- The police?

- I think you know more about this.
- OK.

It's about the metal rods.
I need someone who knows them.

And I mean really knows them.

No... No, I don't want him
to call me back.

- I want to speak to him right now.
- Can you put me through, please?

- Thanks, I thought I'd try.
- Is there anyone who could answer that?

Thank you.

I already sent it three times.
What do you mean, you haven't received it?

Maybe you have the wrong email address
on your website?

- No, the service one.
- Thanks anyway.

You don't have that length?

Not on the hydraulic tipper either?

No, a metal rod, made of metal.

I can pop round if you're not sure.
How long are you there for?

All right, see you shortly.

That's a shame. Oh, well. Not to worry.

OK. Thank you.

Come this way.

The head mechanic's back there.
The one wearing glasses.

Got it. Thank you.

This is the rod I called about.

I see.

- No. No.
- Not one of yours?

No... No, it doesn't match. Thank you.

- Could be part of the hydraulics.
- That's right.

This is Officer Schänzle again,
about the iron rod.

That's right, I sent you the photo.

Thank you.

So it could have been one of your trucks?
Uh, Sandra!

The rod. Get me the rod, please.

Hold on a second.

We're just fetching the rod.

OK, I'll wait.

Just a second, OK?

- I have it in front of me.
- Check the boreholes at the end.

The holes at the end,
measure their distance.

The ruler. Where's my ruler?
Where's my ruler?

Where is it?

It's my daughter's.

We're measuring the distance now.

- It should be exactly 53.5 millimetres.
- From edge to edge?

No, centre to centre.

We have exactly 53.5 millimetres.

- Then it's one of our trucks, an Iveco.
- Are you sure?

Absolutely.

Sick! Thank you.

We got his truck.

- Thomas!
- What?

We got his truck!

Sandra Herrmann, Police God!
Sandra Herrmann, Police God!

Sandra Herrmann, Police God!

So, we did have 252,

and as the murder weapon,
the rod, came from an Iveco

we isolated all the Ivecos.

- And we're now down to... 13.
- 13.

Yes, one of those 13
is very probably Sylvie Peyrot's killer.

That's really outstanding work, colleagues.

We'll send it all on to you
as quickly as possible.

I can imagine
that won't be easy for you?

In terms of the jurisdiction,
this is now your investigation again.

Yes, thank you.
Thank you for everything.

Sure. Talk soon. Bye.

Man, that's really annoying.

We should request a joint investigation.

As my clever colleague Mr Riedle said,
"Data protection, Barbara!

- We can't use the toll data."
- So?

Does that mean
we can't do anything at all?

We can only hope.

We received the results
of the Austrian truck drivers' DNA tests.

I suppose your expression
would be different if we had a match?

- What a load of rubbish.
- Don't be so negative.

We can exclude four suspects,
which leaves us only 11 truck drivers.

I admire your pragmatism, but those trucks
are registered in Eastern Europe.

That means we have to file
mutual assistance requests.

- I already did.
- Great.

But I don't have to tell you
replies could take ages.

No...

- If we get any replies at all.
- You're a pessimist, boss.

I'm a realist.

- That's what all pessimists say.
- Hah!

It's Ms Kramer.

You should take a leaf out of her book.
She's not as negative as you.

Ms Kramer, this is Hanschitz, hello.
How's it looking?

- Positive, I hope?
- Well...

On Monday, our task force
will be reduced to an investigation team.

- How about you?
- We've excluded four local drivers.

So we've had to file assistance requests
with the other countries.

I can't imagine this will be as swift
and smooth as our cooperation with you.

- Well, if you get any news...
- You'll be the first to know.

- Good, keep your fingers crossed for us.
- Will do. Speak soon, hopefully.

Yes, speak soon. Thanks.
Thank you, Mr Hanschitz. Bye.

Shit...

- Can I interrupt you a minute?
- Yes, sure.

I won't be here anymore
from Monday, and...

a while ago,
I said something in the kitchen...

Yes?

Yes... and... that was stupid of me.

That's true.

Yes.

So, now I wanted you to... no.

I wanted to apologise to you, that's it.

I like it.

Yes.

And...

do you accept my apology or...

Yeah, sure.

Sick!
I mean, that's nice.

Thank you.

You're staying with us, by the way.
Your station has signed off on it.

- Seriously?
- Yes, seriously.

Oh, wow...

- Call me Bernd.
- Barbara.

DAY 176

TASK FORCE "SUNDAY"

Right, the next lot of sausages
is ready for collection.

Any takers? Come and get it!

- I better go over or he won't stop.
- Guys!

Do you want the pig to have died in vain?
I can always give them to the dog.

It's all right, I'm coming.

- You don't let me down, Thomas.
- I try my best.

- What have you got?
- Smoked or normal?

- I'll give you two. You look hungry.
- Stop! One is enough.

- Got no appetite?
- Not really. It's our final night.

We'll catch him. You'll see. Yeah?

Trust me.

- What's this?
- It's vegetarian. That's all I know.

OK...

You... you're vegetarian, aren't you?

No.

I'm really not.

I'll go and get a sausage.

Sometimes you give your all,
but luck is against you.

Is that from a quotes calendar
or a fortune cookie?

How would
my esteemed colleague Barbara put it?

Luck... is not relevant
to the solving of a crime.

Exactly.

- Sausage from your new best friend?
- Did he say that?

Dad?

You're back already.

Hello.

- You're looking great.
- Thank you.

You managed to get a tan.

- Are these for me?
- No, but they need some water.

But I take it these sandwiches are for me?

Thanks, Dad, but I'm not really hungry.
We had a barbecue at work, you know?

Are you doing everything
with your colleagues?

How are you going to have
a decent private life again?

It's always about dead people.
It's a terrible job.

Oh, well, you're back home now.

You make me sandwiches...

Who are the flowers for?

They're for your mum.
I'll take them tomorrow.

You see? You're all about dead people too.

That's completely different.

A decent private life.

Always here with your old dad.
That would be wretched.

I'm not planning on doing that.

When are you going
to start looking for a flat again?

Well, we're based back in Lauburg again.
That should make it easier.

I'm going to keep the house, by the way.

I'm staying here. Not moving out.

- That's great. There's no rush, then.
- There is.

- Why? It's a huge house, we can easily...
- Eva is moving in with me.

Eva?

My girlfriend.

You have a girlfriend?

The police don't need to know everything.

Eva is good for me.
And I'm good for her.

- She only gets a small pension, so...
- You don't need to justify it.

It's just a bit sudden.

All right.

So now you know.

Tell me, did I handle all these tradesmen
while you had already planned this?

No.

I need to unpack the van.

DAY 182

We've been through all the black Zafiras.

We paid particular attention
to owners who didn't have alibis.

- But we couldn't find
any potential motives. - OK.

So the 11 truck drivers
are still our best bet.

No response to the Austrian
mutual assistance requests?

No, from none of the four countries.

Thanks for nothing.
They should have their EU funding cut.

I'll pass that on to Brussels.

What if we go there
and apply some pressure locally?

Sure, that's my dream scenario too.

But "locally" is actually a good point.

The problem is the assistance requests
go to the countries

the drivers are residents of.

The haulage companies they work for
are based in Czechia, Hungary, etc.

but they're often subcontractors
of large German-based companies.

Yes, and?

- What if we inquire with them directly?
- Sick idea.

I mean, great idea. That way we won't
have to wait forever for a response.

If that's legally possible.

I'll call the prosecutor.

Police Goddess, right?
Where's the acknowledgement?

There's only one Police Goddess for me.

That's amazing, isn't it?

Yes, maybe we'll catch him after all.
Excellent!

- Did the haulage firms get back to us?
- Yes, one replied.

They're based in Italy,
but have a subcontractor in Germany.

Four of the 11 remaining drivers
still work for them.

They confirmed the data.

Three of their trucks had two drivers
on board, one had a single driver.

- That's amazing, isn't it?
- Yes, it's amazing.

We just had their names come through.

Brilliant.

Check where they're registered,
current employers. Split it between you.

- I'll do the first four.
- I'll do the other three with Sandra.

- Sounds good.
- With Sandra?

I got this strange noise in my ear.

- Klinge!
- Yes, I'm going.

Come in!

I've got something.

We spent ages looking for a black Zafira.

- With an "LBG" number plate for Lauburg.
- Yes, we exhausted that.

One of the seven drivers
who used to work for the haulage firm

drives a black Opel Zafira.

- But not with a Lauburg plate.
- With a "GZL" plate.

- Genzlingen.
- Yes.

He stopped working for the Italians
and now works for a firm in Genzlingen.

And his phone was logged onto the local
network at the time of the murder.

So the witness just got the number wrong?

Yes.

The driver who was alone?

Thomas?

REMOVALS

- This one?
- Yes, I think so.

This is Mr Pop.

- My name's Riedle,
this is Detective Kramer. - Hello.

We're with the Federal Police.
Would you mind taking a seat?

- Thank you.
- We'll be fine on our own, thanks.

We're investigating a homicide

and are asking some men
to provide a DNA sample.

You don't have to do that,
but it would really help us.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

Yes.

Would you provide a saliva sample?

A saliva sample?

With this?

Yes?

I'll show you how it works.

You pull out the red end.

That's it.

Then move the cotton swab
firmly across both cheeks.

Thoroughly.

Excellent. Now put it back in.

- Thank you.
- And that's all.

Thank you.

- Here's the sample.
- We'll take it to the lab.

- Thanks a lot.
- You're welcome.

Bye.

So, what do you think?

I'm not sure.

If it really was him,
why would he give us a saliva sample?

I don't know.
Maybe he thinks he can still disappear.

- That's them now, right?
- Yes.

Roger.

Yes.

That's him.

The good thing is
we won't lose him so easily.

...71. Perfect. Thanks a lot.

Navid, can you please
check this number for me?

MATCH FOUND

- Great! Can you send this to me? Thanks.
- Sure.

Right, Navid has got the video
up and running, and this is your radio.

Thank you.

I called Pop's previous employer.

He had a work mobile back then,

and it was logged into Steinach
when Sylvie Peyrot was killed.

Are we arresting him?

It's powerful evidence, but not proof.

- No, we wait for the DNA analysis.
- All right.

- I'll be next door.
- I'll join you in a minute.

VEHICLE 32/01 DASH CAM

What's he doing?

Dumbbell training.

He needs to stay fit.

My uncle was a truck driver.
They all do that.

OK.

- Some soup for you, Navid.
- Thank you.

- No...
- Oh, man...

- Is he going to park there?
- I hope not.

No, he's just getting petrol.

Drive on.

- Are you tired?
- Uh-uh.

Yeah, it's normal.

We can take turns. An hour each.

No, I'm fine.

I've got...

I've got a blanket.

Smells fine.

No, thanks.

OK.

All right.

Ms Vukovic?

Hang on, I'll put you on speaker.

The DNA sample matches
the one from Steinach four years ago

and the SB 10.4 sample from Buchingen.

Ms Kramer?

Bingo!
Did you hear me?

Yes, yes, I...

Thank you. Thanks.

We got him.

We got him.

- We arrest him now, right?
- Yes.

We have a DNA match.
The arrest warrant is legitimate.

Arrest him! Arrest him!

Ms Irlinger?

Yes. The DNA is a match.

Yes, yes...

Yes, that's clear. Talk to you later.
OK. Talk later.

Police! Come on out!

- Go inside.
- Mr Pop, come on out!

Shit, it's empty.

What if he got into a car and drove off?

Manhunt alert, code 10.

All available officers proceed immediately

to Oberselden service stop
on the A97, manhunt alert!

- You take the petrol station.
- Got it.

We have him.

Mr Pop? Police.

Stop! Easy, don't do anything stupid now!

Easy now. Stay calm.
Spread your legs.

You're under arrest
on suspicion of the murder

of Stefanie Berghoff and Sylvie Peyrot.

Questioning of Adrian Pop

by Chief Superintendent Kramer
and Detective Superintendent Riedle.

Also present
are the sworn interpreter Mr Tudor

and the lawyer Mr Strobl.

Your name is Adrian Pop,

born 14th August 1986
in Romania, is that right?

Please answer yes or no.

Yes.

You are here because we believe
you killed two young women.

What can you tell us about that?

Please ask him
if he understood the question.

And?

You live in Genzlingen.

In neighbouring Buchingen,
a young woman was murdered six months ago

while out jogging in the woods.

What can you tell us about that?

Mr Pop.

Did you kill this young woman?

That young woman was married.
She had a husband, she had parents.

Those people want to know what happened,
so please tell us.

Let's talk about something else.

Steinach. That's a place in Austria.

Four years ago,
another young woman was murdered there.

You know Steinach, right?

This is Sylvie Peyrot.

Please look at the photo.

Do you remember her?

Surely you remember her?

- Like I said, he just won't talk.
- It doesn't matter.

We don't need a confession.

We almost certainly
have enough evidence for a guilty verdict.

It would be good for the families
if he talked.

Hopefully, his defence lawyer
will recommend he does.

- We'll see.
- Yes.

OK, great.

That's great.

You really did brilliant work,
you and your team.

Honestly, I can't...

Just... thank you. Really, thank you.

Well... See you soon.

- See you.
- Bye.

He was happy.

Kohler!

I'm sorry.

Yes!

DAY 197

- This is Berghoff.
- Tobias, hi, this is Thomas Riedle.

- Are you driving?
- Yes, why?

Could you perhaps...
pull over for a moment?

Uh, I have...
I've got some news.

Why? What is it?

Listen, it would be best
if you pulled over a moment.

Will you do that?

We got him.

We got the killer.

Did you hear?

You got him?

Yes.

He's a truck driver.
I can't tell you any more right now.

It's just really important to me
that you hear it from me first.

And... one more thing, Tobias.

Listen, the fact that we accused you...

Yes?

I'm so sorry about that.
I'm really incredibly sorry about that.

It's...

all right.

Bye.

Yes?

Mr Armbruster, this is Barbara Kramer.
May I talk to you?

Yes, come in.

Listen up, everyone!

Good evening!

- May I have your attention?
- Guys, Thomas has prepared a speech.

Only half an hour.

Thanks, Bernd. It'll be slightly longer.
Bear with me. No, but seriously.

I will keep this short, of course.

I'm sure there were people
in the local area who thought

we wouldn't be able to do this, and...

to be honest, there will have been
one or two people among us

who sometimes had their doubts as well.

But we stuck to our guns.

We went through with it.

And, guys, we did it.

- Yes!
- Indeed!

That wasn't half an hour.

I'm sorry...

Let's just celebrate
and enjoy it together, OK?

Have a great evening, everyone.
Thank you.

Right! This here is for you.

- Oh no, a present.
- Just a little something.

Can't you talk among yourselves?

Can you hold this, Thomas?

TASK FORCE "SUNDAY"

- You need to put it round your neck.
- Oh dear. - Yes.

All right.

I would love to be
part of it again next time.

- Let's go, then!
- It's nice. I'd wear it regularly.

Hey, see you in a minute.

On this one special occasion.

And what are you doing out here?

Breathing in and breathing out.

How did Tobias Berghoff react?

Yeah, well...

Could we have done anything differently?

We can now tell you
that Task Force Sunday

led by Chief Superintendent Barbara Kramer

arrested a 38-year-old male

accused of the rape and murder
of Stefanie Berghoff.

He is also strongly suspected

of a murder committed in Austria
four years ago.

The rape and killing
of a student named Sylvie Peyrot.

So, here we have the bedroom...

And this is the centrepiece
of the apartment:

the open-plan living and dining area.

You'd be able to move in
as early as 1st December.

So, what do you say? Do you like it?

Yes.
