1
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:06,440
My family

2
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:08,360
needs certainty.

3
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:10,880
We want to finally be able to bury her.

4
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:15,760
-I'm going to Weesenburg.
-What for?

5
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,680
-I'll check their progress.
-In casting suspicion on me?

6
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:23,520
There are gaps and errors in the files.
I'll look through them again.

7
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,760
-Before you start...
-I'm not alone.

8
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:31,520
Becker met your sister
shortly before her disappearance.

9
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:35,960
He escaped while his house was being searched.
He killed himself in custody,

10
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,960
-and he faced light charges.
-Why a house

11
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,200
was it valid even after death?

12
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,200
-We have to go in there.
-It's risky.

13
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:54,280
MYSTERY OF THE FOREST OF THE DEAD
Forever

14
00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:58,880
They appear:

15
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,440
It was there all the time.

16
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:05,200
There was a storage room behind the wall.
Haven't you found him?

17
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,880
Lohse stopped the search.

18
00:01:08,039 --> 00:01:10,360
This goes back to the 1960s.

19
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,440
Why didn't you take the beta?

20
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:15,880
They. Not I.

21
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,520
We found mainly VHS.

22
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,560
Pornos, sado-maso movies...

23
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,200
They probably considered them unimportant.
It's hard to believe.

24
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:30,000
This is a photo from the 90s.
Taken after Barbara's disappearance.

25
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,759
She responded to his ad.

26
00:01:33,039 --> 00:01:35,000
Let's find out who it is.

27
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:39,759
Maybe then we can understand
what he wanted from Barbara.

28
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,560
We were in the middle of the forest.

29
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:53,759
He...

30
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,960
he grabbed me suddenly and pressed me,

31
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:01,960
like a child who doesn't realize
matters of your strength. Here.

32
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,000
I couldn't breathe and he...

33
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:06,600
he let me go

34
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,240
and smiled.

35
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,040
Like a boy who made a mess.

36
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,160
He used to be like that.

37
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,760
Exceptional.

38
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,360
How long have you been dating?

39
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:25,840
Not really.

40
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,400
We both had families.

41
00:02:29,640 --> 00:02:31,160
But that was...

42
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:34,600
intense.

43
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:36,400
Such an adventure.

44
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,760
I allowed him too much.

45
00:02:41,920 --> 00:02:45,280
-Not for everything, but...
-Why not?

46
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,400
He constantly needed money.
I gave it to him.

47
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,079
He even got my credit card.

48
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:58,920
And then...

49
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,520
he wanted to blackmail my husband.

50
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,400
He was going to fake my kidnapping

51
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:11,000
during a trip together.
I broke up with him immediately.

52
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,000
Why didn't you go to the police?

53
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,720
Why didn't I go?

54
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:24,880
Juergen had problems,

55
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:26,240
but...

56
00:03:27,640 --> 00:03:30,120
he always treated me well.

57
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,520
I have to go now. Did I help you?

58
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:40,600
Yes.

59
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,520
Thank you for coming.

60
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,120
Can I take it?

61
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,440
I don't think so.

62
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:54,960
Goodbye.

63
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,440
I'll find my way to the exit myself.

64
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,920
Becker had several cars.

65
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:23,240
He drove them hundreds of kilometers
annually. His salary wasn't enough.

66
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:27,960
-She said he needed money.
-This is where your sister comes into play.

67
00:04:30,280 --> 00:04:31,480
No...

68
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,720
I don't believe she went
for something like this.

69
00:04:39,280 --> 00:04:41,040
She was lonely.

70
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,960
She had a rich ex-husband.

71
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:48,000
If Becker this way
got cash,

72
00:04:48,159 --> 00:04:51,560
your sister fits perfectly
to this diagram.

73
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:57,240
Which doesn't have to mean
that she agreed to it.

74
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,440
You told us to wait.

75
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,960
I'm so sorry.

76
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,200
What do you say?

77
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,320
Mommy said
May you always be punctual.

78
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,240
Actually.

79
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,480
You must be punished.

80
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:35,400
I'm begging you, don't be angry.
It won't happen again.

81
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,880
She also has a daughter
and my granddaughter, Theresa.

82
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,720
Barbara went missing on August 14

83
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:50,320
1989.

84
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,680
Almost four years have passed.

85
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,920
I don't know where he is.

86
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:02,320
The police are unable to help me.

87
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:12,040
He recorded programs devoted to
murders in Iseforst.

88
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,960
What's incredible is
that when the police

89
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:22,440
subjected it to inspection
first body, 800 m away...

90
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,800
-We know what that means.
-... more victims died, probably

91
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:31,880
at the hands of the same perpetrator. They were it
Merit Liebermann and Anton Holt.

92
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,560
I offer it to their loved ones
sincere condolences.

93
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,240
Good night.

94
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,159
Have a good night.

95
00:06:54,840 --> 00:06:56,360
Robert?

96
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,720
Are you feeling sick again?

97
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,080
I don't know why I did it.

98
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,160
Why?

99
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,320
For what reason...

100
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,160
nothing but work?

101
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,320
Why didn't I marry you?

102
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,760
Why didn't we have children?

103
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:38,960
Should I have insisted?

104
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,120
Maybe.

105
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:52,440
I didn't want you to do something
what you don't believe in.

106
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:56,640
I always thought
that it's not important to you.

107
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,760
You could have left.

108
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:05,360
You know...

109
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,240
I didn't think you would leave
Barbara for me.

110
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,800
But when you did it,

111
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,760
I was the happiest in the world.

112
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,640
I knew it was your family
it won't be easy,

113
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,000
but I didn't care much.

114
00:08:34,919 --> 00:08:36,880
I wanted you.

115
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:13,240
What's up?

116
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,040
Observation?

117
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:20,960
You look good.

118
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,040
What is this?

119
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,200
You remember what I said
20 years ago?

120
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:30,080
-About the swamps of Lower Saxony?
-It didn't help.

121
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,800
What mud do you want to move?

122
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:38,360
What kind of mud?

123
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,960
You're afraid of what I'll find
underneath?

124
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,640
-You were there.
-But I'm not.

125
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:46,960
You grew up in Hamburg.

126
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,720
You could have followed me.

127
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,480
-How is your son?
-We have good relations.

128
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:01,600
How about you?

129
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,080
I don't have children.

130
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:05,480
Pity.

131
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,280
Why weren't you driving?
further investigations?

132
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,280
At least against Neder?
It doesn't make sense.

133
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,080
Becker was your informant?

134
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,880
As I said,
take care of yourself.

135
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:24,600
Due to?

136
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,320
In '67 Becker cut the article

137
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:56,400
about the murder of a cyclist who
shot with a small-caliber weapon.

138
00:10:56,560 --> 00:11:00,560
He was seen in the area shortly afterwards
two juveniles.

139
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:04,040
Becker was 14 and Mertens was 11.
It fits.

140
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,720
In the 1980s in the Weesenburg area

141
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,720
33 unexplained crimes were committed
murders.

142
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,880
In 19 cases
traces found.

143
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,760
They were concentrating
in three places. Here, here...

144
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,480
-And in Iseforst.
-Yes...

145
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,440
Does this fit?

146
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,640
Becker only killed women.

147
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,360
We also have guys in Iseforst.

148
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:33,440
Maybe he wanted them to watch?
Or the woman was supposed to suffer,

149
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:38,120
seeing the death of his defender.
Depending on who died first.

150
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,400
Couples? As if he wanted to punish his parents?

151
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,280
We have a map from the secret room.

152
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:47,520
Wait...

153
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:20,800
-If that's right...
-Becker killed five people in the summer of '89.

154
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:22,800
Within half a year.

155
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:28,080
He already had it 25 years earlier
desire. Or maybe he even did it.

156
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,920
Everything was there.
All.

157
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:35,720
If they applied themselves,
your sister could live.

158
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:40,760
-Becker's files are gone.
-Everything matches: cars, distance...

159
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:46,360
That's right.

160
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,280
Even the Iseforst murders.

161
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,320
How many times do we go through this?

162
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,800
See something I'm missing?

163
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:33,520
Where is the foil used to protect it?
traces from the carts of the Iseforst victims?

164
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:36,600
Why from there?

165
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:40,640
Becker may have been responsible
also for those crimes.

166
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:45,760
They were not analyzed,
because the hair had no roots.

167
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:49,080
Technology since then
she moved forward.

168
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:50,840
What about the epidermis?

169
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,720
The epidermis of the perpetrator should
be on foils.

170
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,120
-You can again...
-I know you want to help us.

171
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:02,880
Your sister hasn't been found,
that's why you need a serial.

172
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,600
But I live and work
at the moment.

173
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:10,600
How old are you?

174
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:12,160
75.

175
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,680
Please start enjoying yourself
twilight of life?

176
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:20,320
Should I be happy? When I know
that you can find my sister,

177
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:24,720
but you don't do it?
How can you not be ashamed?

178
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:28,040
-As a friend...
-We're not friends.

179
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,000
Enough of this.

180
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:42,360
You tell me what you found out
about their activities,

181
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,560
and I'll make an appointment
with the commander-in-chief.

182
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:52,040
Mrs. Bach?

183
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,000
Are you in this photo?

184
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:02,640
You drive in your free time
investigation in another state?

185
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,560
-Who says that?
-Is that true?

186
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:12,600
I'm helping your former boss
find my sister.

187
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,640
You're putting me in a difficult situation.

188
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,120
Please stop this.

189
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,880
With all due respect to Bethge.

190
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,320
MEDICAL UNIVERSITY,
Hanover

191
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,160
Gerke, criminal police,
Weesenburg.

192
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:44,480
-Thank you for taking the time.
-Welcome to our metropolis.

193
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:48,080
In the 90s you should have
get from Weesenburg

194
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:53,200
-material evidence from the Becker case.
-I'd have to check.

195
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:57,080
-What about the Iseforst murders?
-We got the materials.

196
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:01,680
We need adhesive foils
from the victims' cars for DNA comparison.

197
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:05,080
There should also be two light hairs.

198
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,800
I'll go check.
When will you come for it?

199
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,600
I'm happy to wait.

200
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,320
You'll have to.

201
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:25,000
We also found handcuffs at Becker's.

202
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,320
I'm sure they were sent
to Hanover.

203
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,680
Please don't get your hopes up.
At the beginning

204
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:36,240
90's "documentation"
was an unknown word.

205
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,840
I'm not covered anymore.

206
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,200
But I have to say hello to you.

207
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,040
I'm sorry.

208
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:50,960
-You can't do this.
-Maybe and must.

209
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,200
You know well.

210
00:16:56,600 --> 00:17:00,440
If you resign,
all these years will be wasted.

211
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:06,319
It was all too late. We could
find your sister in '89,

212
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,720
-if you didn't follow the rules.
-Untruth.

213
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,160
You were the one who dismissed me then!

214
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,520
Please don't blow off now
blame on me.

215
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:36,720
What happened?

216
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:46,280
We won't find her.
They left me out in the cold.

217
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:51,480
-They have helped you for many years.
-They let me down.

218
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,080
Get off that high note.

219
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,600
Seriously? Say it
my dead mother.

220
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:02,320
Or niece,
who broke off contacts with her father.

221
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,480
Robert, 30 years old
suspected of murder.

222
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:09,520
Maybe it's better this way.
I'm not sure I want to know

223
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,240
what happened to her.
How she suffered.

224
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,840
-Stop.
-In the last hours and minutes.

225
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,160
Was she afraid or did she fight?

226
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,520
What will knowledge give us?
how was she killed?!

227
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:25,280
Okay...

228
00:18:30,120 --> 00:18:32,280
Let's leave it at that.

229
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,760
Book this holiday.

230
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,560
As far away from here as possible. Four weeks.

231
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,840
Done.

232
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,880
I wanted to finally bury her.

233
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,280
We've come so far.

234
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,680
You stood your ground.
What do you want?

235
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:07,560
I have something for you.

236
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,360
-What's that?
-Handcuffs.

237
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,320
The ones from Becker's house.
They were in Hannover.

238
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:18,200
With dark spots.

239
00:19:18,360 --> 00:19:20,760
-And how...
-We were lucky.

240
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:25,960
They were incorrectly included in evidence
from the Iseforst case.

241
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:32,440
Why are you doing this?

242
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,320
Because I'm a good cop.

243
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,600
And an idiot at that.

244
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,120
Is this blood...

245
00:19:55,120 --> 00:19:56,560
Yes.

246
00:19:57,880 --> 00:19:59,560
Blood.

247
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:01,560
Undoubtedly.

248
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:05,640
-This has to do with your sister?
-I'm still looking for her.

249
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:10,080
-Without the consent of the prosecutor's office?
-Against the prosecutor's office.

250
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,200
What has changed?

251
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,600
-My consciousness.
-You need it

252
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:19,920
comparative DNA research.

253
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:23,680
We still have a sample here
your mother's blood.

254
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:25,560
How long will it take?

255
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,560
At least three weeks.
I'll call.

256
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:32,640
All right. Thank you.

257
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:38,080
Three weeks.

258
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:41,560
There's something else.

259
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:46,040
Becker's wife died
and Kantor sold the cottage.

260
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,480
Within three weeks
a lot can happen.

261
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:19,720
I'm listening?

262
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,400
Yes, professor.

263
00:21:25,360 --> 00:21:26,640
Yes?

264
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:36,640
Thank you.

265
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,200
What happened?

266
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,800
In handcuffs from Becker's house

267
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:46,880
there was blood.

268
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:51,680
AND?

269
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:56,640
It's Barbara's blood.

270
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:23,760
Where did you get them from?

271
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:27,760
Hello.

272
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,240
Mr. Bethge once again.

273
00:23:32,120 --> 00:23:36,000
I heard you found handcuffs

274
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:39,960
with your sister's blood stains?

275
00:23:40,120 --> 00:23:45,160
They were taken from Becker's house.
They lay in Hannover for 25 years

276
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:49,000
and no one requested the results of the analysis.
He killed her.

277
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:50,800
We don't know that.

278
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,720
That's why you have to look
in his surroundings.

279
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:55,880
Especially on his property.

280
00:23:56,040 --> 00:24:00,080
In '93 the entire garden was dug up.
What are you proposing now?

281
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,640
-Geologists? GPR?
-Then you stopped digging.

282
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:08,680
You were looking for a body, you found a car
and you stopped your search.

283
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:12,480
You didn't look into the garage.
Quiet! Now I'm talking.

284
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,680
You let go a few times
the perpetrator is free.

285
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:19,640
We're sure he killed mine
sister and not only her.

286
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:23,960
-It can no longer be ignored.
-I understand your emotions...

287
00:24:24,120 --> 00:24:28,520
You don't understand anything
or you don't want to understand.

288
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:31,080
But the press will understand it.

289
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,880
-So what?
-Nothing for now.

290
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,280
Let's hope they don't fool us.

291
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,280
If that's all...

292
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,360
We were home
in the basement and garage.

293
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:32,960
-There's nothing here.
-Maybe there's an empty space?

294
00:25:33,120 --> 00:25:37,320
-Did you check?
-We left it to you, the experts.

295
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:22,120
-There's nothing here.
-This channel is kind of shallow.

296
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,760
-It's usually deeper.
-You look like idiots.

297
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:27,880
Do you have a problem?

298
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:32,960
Not in the channel or any channel
another place on the property

299
00:26:33,120 --> 00:26:36,400
Barbara Neder's body is missing

300
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:38,600
or any other.

301
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:03,560
You didn't kill your wife.

302
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:13,400
Found in handcuffs
Barbara's DNA.

303
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,920
They were at Becker's house.

304
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:37,840
If I hadn't broken up with her,
maybe she would be alive.

305
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:39,480
Stop.

306
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:43,680
Will you tell your daughter?

307
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:50,000
Do you know where he buried her?

308
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:54,320
It must be on his property.
This is the only possibility.

309
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:01,560
What if she's not there?

310
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:08,240
Theresa will believe me then
when you find her.

311
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,640
When are you leaving?

312
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:14,520
The day after tomorrow.

313
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:17,520
That's what we plan.

314
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,560
-Thank you.
-You're welcome.

315
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:22,960
Let's check everything again.
To be sure next time you try.

316
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:33,880
I wondered about the meaning
farewell letters.

317
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:38,080
Especially the last paragraph
addressed to his wife and Heiner.

318
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:42,280
"I don't need to emphasize
what is my greatest wish.

319
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:46,440
It's about the house and the neighborhood.
Try to keep them together

320
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:48,960
in the condition they are in."

321
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,760
His wife listened to him.

322
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:53,200
Yes...

323
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:57,320
His suicide caused
that the investigation was stopped.

324
00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,520
Why did he want this?

325
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:03,040
So that no one else has
access to his house.

326
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:09,440
That evening he arrived
after Barbara.

327
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:11,800
They went to him.

328
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:15,800
She looked for support from him,
maybe also when buying a house.

329
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:18,760
She fit the mold perfectly.

330
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:23,080
Entrepreneur's wife,
which was a huge success.

331
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:26,560
He misjudged the situation.
He wanted to convince her

332
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,240
to blackmail her husband.

333
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:35,360
Barbara refused and the situation
it got out of control.

334
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:42,520
Maybe she told him
that her brother is the police chief?

335
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:50,400
From previous victims
what makes her different

336
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:53,400
that he had killed before
strangers.

337
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:55,960
Far from civilization.

338
00:30:56,480 --> 00:31:01,000
Barbara knew him and could tell someone
tell about it.

339
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,200
Can I go on?

340
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:12,080
Please.

341
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:17,200
He didn't intend to kill her at all.

342
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:19,040
But then he had to.

343
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:23,760
He went to her again.

344
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,920
Hence the car with the engine running.

345
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,200
It was supposed to look like this
as if she had left.

346
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:35,520
But the most important thing was
so that no one finds her body.

347
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,960
Because then the police will quickly
she would reach him.

348
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:42,800
He chose the only place
that he had control over.

349
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:48,760
Your property.

350
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:55,720
Thank you.

351
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,080
It must be there.

352
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:11,680
You've already searched the house twice.

353
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,480
If I don't make it,

354
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,640
we'll meet in two days
in Rotterdam

355
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,080
or the day after in Dover.

356
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:41,360
Good luck.

357
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:04,880
The owner will not be there.

358
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,040
I don't want to be there.

359
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:09,760
Good morning.

360
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:13,480
-Blaschke, investigative technique.
-Bethge.

361
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,680
We all are
the same sentence.

362
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:25,480
The garage was the safest
place. Seemingly

363
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,400
innocent. Just like Becker.

364
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:31,400
He had the most control
over the canal.

365
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:33,280
My brother-in-law.

366
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:38,760
Let's get started.

367
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:10,360
Please screw in the tube carefully.

368
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,040
Natural soil.

369
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:30,000
We have guests.

370
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,159
Please continue.

371
00:34:45,199 --> 00:34:47,679
Can I help my colleagues with something?

372
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:51,080
I'll bring some more coffee,

373
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,840
and you will tell me who you are.

374
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:27,640
I didn't find anything. I'm sorry.

375
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:30,040
We can stop here.

376
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:35,960
Now we'll look under the spruce,
where Becker's sheepdog was digging.

377
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:39,600
We would have to cut him down.
We don't have permission.

378
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:54,840
What was that?

379
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:47,360
Metatarsal bone.

380
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:16,480
This is now a crime scene.

381
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:20,560
-I have to inform the local police.
-You don't have to.

382
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:32,640
This is Bethge.

383
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:38,520
We did it in Becker's garage
an important find.

384
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:41,240
I guess this is your...

385
00:37:48,720 --> 00:37:52,640
Marianne, you'll probably listen to this
only on board...

386
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:58,800
Please call me back.

387
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:02,280
I think I found it.

388
00:38:18,720 --> 00:38:23,600
They said it was the weekend
and they don't know when they will send someone.

389
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:26,360
We have to keep digging.

390
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:29,760
I would like to hug them.

391
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:44,640
You're not allowed.

392
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:49,160
What?

393
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:51,880
Hurt me.

394
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:55,400
I didn't do anything.

395
00:38:58,240 --> 00:39:00,840
You're sitting here in fear.

396
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:06,280
Before what?

397
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:10,040
That I will hurt you?

398
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:16,160
Will you be punished

399
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:19,280
when it comes to light, what have you done?

400
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:25,080
You will also tighten it around your neck
a sheet knot?

401
00:39:25,240 --> 00:39:28,280
And hang himself?
Like your friend,

402
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:29,920
Juergen?

403
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:35,080
Because you can't live with the thought

404
00:39:35,240 --> 00:39:38,840
that he is responsible for the deaths of so many people?

405
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:41,320
For their suffering.

406
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:43,880
For their fear.

407
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:47,760
For their pain.

408
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:53,760
You know what he did to them.

409
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:57,280
How they died.

410
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:01,360
Innocent.

411
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:11,680
And he left you alone.

412
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:15,640
With these dead people.
With a sense of guilt.

413
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:19,440
Against the living.

414
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:28,240
Think about those

415
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:33,160
who loved someone.
Someone who died for no reason.

416
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:36,280
About mothers, fathers,

417
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:38,440
brothers, sisters,

418
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:40,520
friends...

419
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:44,600
The dead are dead.

420
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:48,480
You won't change that.

421
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:56,400
But those who stayed
they will suffer for the rest of their lives.

422
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:01,720
You can help them.

423
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:05,880
Please tell me what you know.

424
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:09,120
Honestly.

425
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:14,840
Please behave yourself
like an honest man.

426
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:18,080
And not like a coward.

427
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:39,360
Mr. Mertens, are you there?
It's me, Meinecke.

428
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:41,720
Please open.

429
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:47,080
Please open the door.

430
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:53,200
I'm your lawyer.
Please don't say anything.

431
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:55,280
I didn't do anything.

432
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:42,440
My condolences.

433
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:49,720
We're taking over the crime scene.

434
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:08,560
We would like to inform you,
that on Juergen's property

435
00:44:08,720 --> 00:44:11,720
Becker, who committed
suicide,

436
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:16,000
avoided further investigation
Barbara Neder's body was found.

437
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:53,040
Is it true

438
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:57,600
that the discovery was made thanks to
a group of retired policemen,

439
00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:02,360
-which were headed by Thomas Bethge?
-We were in contact all the time.

440
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:06,000
Has further evidence been found
incriminating Becker?

441
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:09,800
In the car of one of the victims from Iseforst

442
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:12,520
traces of his DNA were discovered.

443
00:45:12,720 --> 00:45:16,480
-So he could have been the perpetrator?
-Correct.

444
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:20,720
Over the years, blame has been assigned
innocent people.

445
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:25,200
-This is not the time for such discussions.
-You apologized to the victim's husband,

446
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:28,720
which for many years
was he the prime suspect?

447
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:33,360
-We focus on the present.
-We also take into account

448
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:37,560
that Becker acted on someone else's
commission or with someone's help.

449
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:05,400
"Forever...

450
00:46:07,240 --> 00:46:09,960
You opened the book of my life,

451
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:14,840
filling it with rainbow colors.

452
00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:19,800
The most beautiful stories
you wrote for me,

453
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:23,640
for this I will love you forever.

454
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:28,880
You let go of my balloon
under the sky,

455
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:33,280
Thanks to you, I soared high.

456
00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:38,440
You made my time precious

457
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:42,040
you were watching over me
like a precious jewel.

458
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:46,320
You remain the most important thing to me,

459
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:51,640
I will love you forever."

460
00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:02,280
BASED ON REAL TREATMENTS
EVENTS

461
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:06,880
28 years after Bethge disappeared
with the help of colleagues

462
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:09,120
found his sister's remains.

463
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:13,080
Currently, he works on behalf of victims
and their loved ones.

464
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:17,840
Robert Neder wrongly
was suspected of killing his wife.

465
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:22,240
So far, no one from law enforcement
he didn't apologize for it.

466
00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:26,320
Investigators believe
that Juergen Becker responds

467
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:29,960
for numerous unsolved murders.

468
00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:32,880
It is suspected that he had an accomplice.

469
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:37,040
Not yet determined
his identity.

470
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:43,000
