Original subtitles

"The defendant Menken will be acquitted. "

"What have you done with my girl? "

- You pig, where is she? - Hey, let him go!

Freya, you were there during Menken's interrogations

- Do you think he was guilty? - Yes.

That's a bad sign.

Uh-uh, there are no bad signs.

8th I told you, I don't do that anymore.

You taught me, Damir.

Sometimes a different set of laws applies.

You have to get up, Mom. It's time.

You still hope that Marie comes back.

You have to forget that.

Menken was Sandra's stepfather.

He took her to his pub...

...and he and his friends raped her.

Freya Becker.

Henry Silowski.

Jo Jacobi.

Every good policeman asks the other good policemen...

...why they became a police officer.

It's like when dogs, which are on the ...

... when they sniff each other's butt.

I think it's because we need to know exactly...

...who we are going out in this crazy world with.

With me it was my sister.

She died at the age of 18 from an overdose of heroin.

Her remains were found in a suitcase in a locker at Zoo Station.

She was so emaciated that she could easily fit inside.

Well. I always try to do everything with a little bit of give and take.

I ask nothing more of you. Just cooperation.

We'll meet here in half an hour.

First we'll go over Menken's case.

Who can summarize it for us?

Thank you.

- You are Anne, right? - Exactly.

Henry Silowski.

How nice to see you.

Likewise.

How long has it been now?

Almost exactly eleven years.

Should my first task be...

...to get you a bigger office?

No. I love my cave.

I'm looking forward to working together.

Bighead told me, "If you need to know something, just ask Freya. "

I have to go, it's my first case. Menken.

Do we have a coffee maker?

Yes, in the kitchen. I can make you a cup.

Thank you.

As to the age, he could not say anything specific. Likewise with the license plate.

The joggers noticed Menken's car at 8.30.

The driver's door was open. A panicked dog was locked in the hatchback.

I cannot believe it. Freya made coffee.

It is a singular exception, to commemorate the debut of Henry Silowski.

Many thanks. It'll never happen again, I promise.

Besides Menken's tire tracks and the joggers' footprints...

...we found some other tire tracks. "Silver Speed" brand.

We found the same tracks on another trail which runs parallel to the one with the crime scene.

There and at the scene were various footprints.

One size 40, the other size 46.

Probably sneakers or running shoes.

Anything else?

And Menken's environment? Friends?

Nadine Krug, his girlfriend, a prostitute.

Her testimony was vital in getting Menken an acquittal in Sandra's case.

She is supposed to have been the last person who saw him.

Then there is the stepsister, Sabine Menken.

Big Head already interviewed her.

She says she had not seen him for three years,...

...that she did not visit him in the detention center, was not included in the process.

What about Sandra Berg's mother?

She had a nervous breakdown after the verdict.

She's being treated in the Charité.

Good.

Let's ask the dog.

Silowski arrived today.

He is nice.

And he is a good policeman.

I'm leaving. Need something else?

No thanks. I'm good.

- Until tomorrow. - Until tomorrow.

How do you like our new boss?

Anyone can see that you have the hots for him.

- That's not an answer. - He looks like a butcher.

- Yes, he does. - You like that, right?

Yes, for some reason.

You like the stories people tell about him.

That he pulls his weapon in the interrogation room and that he used to be a biker.

You think that's great, right? A really wild cop.

Not boring like me.

I think it's cute that are so jealous.

- I'm not jealous. - No?

Big Head was like our dad. We loved him, and he loved us.

Now we have the butcher in the house and everything gets more edge, more bite.

"Let's ask the dog." Hahaha. Thank you.

Don't you understand?

Nope, but I'm sure you'll explain it.

You know what we do on the job.

Read files, match DNA, interview witnesses, interrogations, forensics, ballistics, psychological reports, blah blah blah.

Yes, and?

Run through our routines like a trained dog.

We can supposedly figure out everything, but we can't talk to the dog who knows everything.

Honestly, you talk such nonsense sometimes.

You see, I told you.

Silowski, Kripo Berlin. We called you.

Hi, Beller.

- You wanted to go inside? - Yes.

No one's gone in there since then. Nobody wants to.

I can't rent it. And why do you want to go inside now?

Because Menken suddenly disappeared?

You really have to wonder, right? All this energy expended following the process.

It all costs so much.

This will now be one case that you are out from under.

That's the way it is when you can't manage to properly convict someone.

Someone else took care of it for you, didn't they?

Here is the room where the little girl ...

Could you leave me alone for a moment?

Of course, as you wish.

- Morning. - Good Morning.

- Do you have a minute? - Yes, of course.

Oh, do not tempt me.

I visited the pub whereSandra was last seen.

As I stood in that room, I suddenly thought of the Pied Piper of Falkenberg.

Do you remember the case?

Yes, of course.

The kiosk he always used had a back room too.

I would like to look at that case again.

And all the unsolved cases since 2000.

Could you please put that together for me?

- By when? - When you have the time.

Thank you.

Here's some water.

- Thank you. - What's his name?

- Otto. - Otto. Hello, Otto.

This is Nadine Krug.

Henry Silowski. Thank you for coming.

I'm sorry, I had to bring the dog with me.

I just got him from the shelter. He is completely wiped out, traumatized.

No problem. A dog once saved my life.

Since then, all dogs are my friend, huh?

Well then.

Stay. Behave. Good dog.

- Mrs. Krug, sit down. - Yes.

- Does it bother you if I record this? - no.

Interrogation of Nadine Krug.

when did you lasr see Thilo Menken?

I visited him in his dacha about a week before this happened.

What was your visit about?

He really wanted to go to Mallorca together once he got out.

I told him that I would not go with him.

Why not?

It's what I felt. I did not want to go away with him anymore.

- Were you alone? - Yes.

The neighbours from the allotment garden say that on the 24th of May they heard a fight.

At night, out on the street, involving you, Mr. Menken, and a man.

Oh yes, that's right.

Yes, I did take a friend with me.

I was afraid of Thilo, sometimes he goes crazy.

- What's your friend's name? - Drescher. Klaus Drescher.

Is this your new boyfriend?

No, I just took him with me.

According to the neighbours Menken yelled, again and again,

"I'll finish you, let your secrets out". What did he mean?

No idea, he was angry, that's all.

You visited him regularly in detention, and you were there every day of the proceedings.

But when he got out, you wanted nothing more to do with him. Why?

I wasn't in no mood anymore.

Do not be fooled by his stupid, self-pitying talk.

I am not his nurse!

Oh sorry ...

Otto!

Otto! Otto, are you crazy?

Stay!

Otto, stay. Stop it! Stay right there!

Quiet, quiet, quiet, Otto.

Come here, come here. Calm down.

Come with me, come on. Come along.

Come over here.

Is everything ok?

Yes. I'm okay again.

It's Menken's dog. He is just freaking out.

Yes.

Sascha!

- Hello Sascha. - Hello.

Mom told me that you're back.

Yes, I thought maybe we could all meet sometime.

What for?

Just because. Let's talk.

Something we haven't managed to do for years.

Well, I have to go.

Ciao.

Yes?

- Hello, Damir. - What's up?

We have a new boss.

He wants me to gather all the unsolved murder cases since 2000.

What do you want to hear from me?

I can delay things. Maybe he'll forget about it.

- He won't find anything. - Ferid found her.

That was a long time ago. Nothing happened.

I heard that Murat will get out soon.

Early release due to good beaviour.

- When? - I'll find out.

I have to go.

Look out for ourself, okay?

And for your new boss too.

- Thunderstorm, man! - What, a thunderstorm?

Shitty satellite system here in the hostel!

Murat's getting out.

The time is almost here.

Klaus Drescher, truck driver. A friend of Menken.

While Menken was inside, he asked Drescher to look after Nadine.

According to Drescher's friends, they started a relationship,

Menken knew nothing about it.

At least until Drescher and Nadine visited him that evening.

It becomes a fight, then Menken threatens Nadine.

He has something he can use against her, wants to air her dirt laundry.

Menken blackmails her and Drescher settles the problem?

Is there anything else?

Well, perhaps Nadine Krug persuaded Drescher to kill Menken.

But why now?

She gets him off with her statement, she pays his lawyer.

She visits him every 14 days in custody.

If she had not gotten him off, she would have gotten rid of him that way.

That would have been much easier.

What if the culprit is not from Menken's environment?

What if he did not know him personally?

Someone with a mission?

Someone for whom the verdict did not fit what happened with Sandra's case?

What do you mean by "mission"?

It's just an idea.

Please take some time to think about it.

Or ask the dog.

Freya?

Freya, what's up? Is everything okay?

You have a nosebleed.

Should I call a doctor?

I just got dizzy. It happens sometimes.

I'm okay again now.

- I'll take you to the doctor. - No, no, no, it's already ...

I am fine again. It's all right, really.

Thanks, that's good.

- Hello, good evening. - Hello.

- I am Paulina. - Nice to meet you.

I am Achim.

- Here. - Thank you.

- Shall we go in? - Yes.

- Is everything good? - Yes.

Excellent.

Good evening. May I?

Good evening.

- Give me a moment? - Gladly.

- All right? - Yes.

- Your menu. - Thank you.

May I offer you an aperitif?

I think we would like a glass of champagne, right?

Oh yes of course.

Two glasses of champagne, please. Right away, thank you.

Two champagnes, please.

Paulina. That's a beautiful name.

Tell me something about yourself.

- What do you want to know? - Everything.

Just a brief summary, whatever comes to mind.

I'm from Fulda.

I have two older sisters.

They are both married and have children.

I am the baby of the bunch.

My dad has a dealership and my mother a lingerie shop.

Hello, Elisabetta.

Good evening, Mr. Jacobi.

What has happened?

Tabea did not want to go to bed. She wanted to wait up for you.

Mhm, did she eat something?

Yes, but not much.

Where is my wife?

She is upstairs in her room. She did not get up today.

- I am really very sorry. - Not your fault. Thank you.

I'll go now.

- Have a nice evening. - You too.

- Hello, sparrow. - Hi dad.

Come on, mouse. We'll go upstairs.

Then we go to bed, okay?

- Come here. - Bye!

Hey.

Hey.

What's the matter?

Hm?

What's the matter?

I did not get the role.

I'm sorry.

Why?

Because I have a limp, Jo. Because nobody wants to see that.

If you continue to blame me for that, nothing will ever change.

I found the necklace.

It was in my sports bag.

You bought me a new one so I'd shut up.

You do not have to worry about me.

Jasmine, I take care of you all the time.

I take care of you all the fucking time, yes?

I take care of your moods, of Tabea, look after the money.

And the goddomn chain I bought you, so you would feel good about this goddamn casting.

It was fake!

It was not genuine! Like you! You are not real!

You fool yourself all the time!

Now go, please.

Go!

Until tomorrow.

Come on, dudes!

- Give up! - Come, here, to me!

Yes! hot!

Go, faster, faster!

Further right. Further right!

Here, Murat! Here!

Watch out!

Gotta go, guys.

Hey!

This is the last time that we'll see each other in here.

But I'm not just kissing you when we are outside.

- Did you get the suit? - Perfect choice.

- I bring greetings from the family. - Thank you.

They want to know where you'd like to celebrate.

"Jules and Jim."

- Did you talk to Nedim? - I did.

- The apartment is ready. - Well.

- He cares. - Okay.

And about your buddy.

Everything's going well now. He has a restaurant in Mitte, the Jozo.

Married, a daughter, middle-class life.

No contact to the scene.

The only contact from back then is to Dani Richter.

For a year now she's been running an escort agency. Jacobi is a partner.

- And the sister? - Still working for the police.

Lives completely withdrawn, no new partner.

Sometimes she visits Jasna Heller's bar in Kreuzberg.

- Or her brother in Jozo. - Hm.

What do you think?

There is nothing left.

It's finished.

Well. Good.

"Hi, this is Marie. I'm not at home,...

But I'll be happy to hear your good news after the beep. "

"Happy Birthday, my Marie. "

"I kiss you. Take care, wherever you are. "

"I know you are involved in this. "

"You and Murat, you have something to do with it! "

"You have to tell me where Marie is! What did you do to her? "

"Talk to me!"

"I beg you, tell me!"

- Yes? - "It's me."

Jo, what's up?

"Mother is dead."

"She had a heart attack and fell down the stairs. "

"She died immediately."

A wonderful way to die.

Oh, Anne, come in.

Sit down, this will only take two minutes.

Do you know "The Pied Piper of Falkenberg" case?

Something about a pedophile from Lichtenberg?

Yes. Hagen Belitzky, early retiree.

Lived in one of the skyscrapers at Falkenberg Park.

He spent his time at a shop there.

He lured teenagers with free beer and cigarettes.

Invited them to his home, took pictures of them, and supposedly it led to sexual acts.

Round then, an eleven-year-old girl disappeared without a trace and was never found.

We could not prove anything, so he was released from custody.

Two weeks later, he disappeared.

Lots of his blood was found in the garbage cans in his yard, but no sign of his body.

Similar to Menken.

What did you mean by "mission"?

Well, in each case we have a missing girl and an alleged sex offender...

...who is either acquittal or gets only a short sentence, and then disappears without a trace.

I would like you to look through all the unsolved cases. to see Whether you can find others that fit the pattern.

Why can't Yanik do this?

You have more bite.

That's true.

Have you ever been married?

Ten years. With a Russian girl. It was quite a disaster.

Why?

I was an asshole and drank too much.

She was a stupid cow and took a lover.

- Very original. - Indeed.

- And you? - Mh.

I grew up with three brothers.

Any need to live with men was taken care of early.

But otherwise I'm a sociable loner on the lookout for occasional companionship.

I understand.

Why are you in the police?

I really wanted to understand why someone kills someone else.

I still don't understand that.

How do you know Freya?

I was there when her husband shot himself.

He was also a policeman.

I've heard about that.

Why did he do it?

Her daughter Marie was testifying in a case against Murat Nadarevic.

She was in witness protection but run away, back to Berlin.

Since then she has never been seen.

Nobody knows why, or exactly what happened.

And Freya's husband couldn't handle it.

- How long ago was that? - Eleven years.

And sincce then no one has heard from Marie?

That's awful.

- I go that way. - I'm in that direction.

Well, are you coming over?

I don't know if that's a good idea.

Let's find out.

I would really like to come with you, believe me

But those days are over.

I am an old dog who drinks water.

You are a wonderful young woman.

We will do much better if we just work together, nothing else.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

We should have come more often.

I can't stand this. Let's stay at the inn.

Let us pray, as the Lord has taught us to pray.

Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be your name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us each day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses,

as we forgive those who trespass against us

And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

For thine is the kingdom, and the power and the glory,

for ever and ever. Amen.

The dining room, the big room in front.

Then you have the kitchen here.

- Do you cook yourself? - Me? Are you nuts? Naa.

That was nice.

Is this your signature dish, roast pork?

No, we do fusion.

Fusion, what is that?

Fusion is, uh ...

Last winter, she hosted refugees, from the housing in Regensburg.

We were worried.

- They are all gone again. - Amadou stayed.

- He lived with her, at the farm? - Yes, of course.

They were inseparable.

She took the bus to Regensburg and bought a French dictionary.

She taught him German and he taught her French.

French, can you imagine that?

She never told me about this.

She never came to church or the tavern anymore.

She went with him into the forest at night. and there they sacrified a chicken.

- What? - Yes, Voodoo.

Go on, stop the nonsense!

He thought she would bequeath the farm to him. That's why he stayed.

Stop it right now!

And you?

Do you have a husband up there in Berlin?

- No, Resi, those days are long gone. - Hm.

That side of life is never over. For anyone, don't you think. Right?

Yes, perhaps.

You'll see, I say.

Finished?

No, the others are still in the tavern.

What will you do now?

Mittermaier is buying the farm. Maybe he'll buy me too.

How was my mother in her final days?

- Did she drink again? - Forbidden.

Why did she never call?

Didn't want to.

She was very angry, with God, with her husband.

Bad spirits were here.

Under this roof.

But I sent them all away.

All away.

Come.

I'll give you something.

My mom.

From Josefa.

"Dear Freya.

Mittermaier is buying the farm. That's fine with me.

The notary in Regensburg has the details.

From the proceeds, give Amadou 30,000 and take 60,000 for yourself.

I'll donate the rest to the refugee housing in Regensburg.

Jo should choose something for himself. He has enough money.

By the end I had lost my faith in our Lord.

But if there is a god, or something like that,...

...Amadou was his gift to me, and I am infinitely grateful for that.

He drove away the ghosts and the days I spent with him were wonderful.

Please ensure that Amadou gets the money.

We two never talked much.

That's a pity, I know that now.

Freya, now that you have buried me, you have to bury Marie too.

Promise me that.

She will never return. Let the dead rest.

Take care of yourself and Jo, as you have always done.

You are the strong one. Your mother."

"Are you drunk again, asshole!"

"Watch how you talk to me, okay? "

- You drunken pig! - Are you going to stop now?

Let me go!

Run! Freya, run!

From Mother?

Yes.

What did she say?

That I should take care of you.
