All kind of crimes, especially sexual crimes have dramatically increased in recent years.

What may be the cause? Is it a disease of our saturated economic wealth?

An internationally known psychiatrist says:

"It is probably the inability of our generation...

...to fulfill the inner need of MANKIND for true and internal LOVE.

Unfortunate are those who, in their youth, didn't get the LOVE of a mother, a father or of a friend.

Because a mental aberration, also in a sexual way, can develop.

These people are a danger for their ENVIRONMENT.

Often a deadly danger for our women and girls!

But isn't this DANGER even supported through the exaggerated emphasis of everything EROTIC,

through an almost repulsive DISPLAY of sexual excitment in daily LIFE? ..."

TORMENT OF THE FLESH

Mysterious murder of a girl! No traces of the killer

Another sex crime! Dancer raped and killed!

STATE OPERA Ballet School

And 5, and 6, and 7, and 8...

And 1, and 2, and 3...

- ...and slowly up. Thank you.

In the center please. Everyone in line.

Thank you ladies. The next session is on Friday at 10:00 AM. Please be on time.

Good-bye!

- Oh, the water is so cold! - Only for the sauna you get warm water.

She really strained us today. I'm totally beat.

- Maybe you should go to bed early then. - Of course Eva is coming in last.

Who was the guy who picked you up yesterday?

Probably her wannabe playboy from the factory.

???????

- Give me the soap. - Just a second.

Hurry up guys. I'm starving.

- Hurry up Eva! - Yes. I'll be with you in a moment.

12:45 PM already. Today Eva takes forever again.

You should be used to it by now.

- Yes, please? Just a moment. - I'll connect you. - Have you read this? - Yes. Another afternoon show.

Good-bye!

What an arrogant guy. Can't even say good-bye.

Ugh, now it started to rain.

So you didn't notice that the defendant was totally wet?

No Mr. President. It was raining heavily.

But according to the police investigation it only started to rain after the time of the offense.

Unfortunately I don't remember.

Mr. President may I comment on something. And I want it to be on the record.

The witness has clearly proofen that...

...through his negligence anyone could come and go as they please.

This is only secondary for this trial.

The gathering of evidence will clearly show that it was a case of premeditated murder.

Planned and executed by Alexander Jablonsky. A relentless and perverted sex killer.

It's the duty of this court to protect our women and daughters from people like him.

Objection! The prosecutor is trying to influence the jury.

Objection allowed. I ask both parties for more objectiveness.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury. Please don't be deceived by the prosecutor's statement.

I want to refer to the psychological expertise of Dr. Baumgarten.

Whose statements are beyond any doubt of credibility.

Not even from the prosecutor!

I'm quoting : A disastrous childhood.

Ignored by his father and cast out by his mother because of his repulsive outer appearance.

For the same reason he was shunned and ridiculed by his school mates.

He was ridiculed by the girls.

During puberty he developes complexes of hatred against his environment.

Especially against women who are repulsed by his looks.

Jablonsky is a vital man.

For a while he can control his urges with music and painting, which he has a talent for.

On the height of his success his self-control deminishes and he is again faced with his biggest problem.

The urgent need to be loved by a woman and to find his recognition as a man.

But dear honour, what is the idea of love of a man who has never experienced it?

What changes does a soul go through if it has to fight against...

...the paralyzing feeling of solitude since early childhood?

What feelings of aggression and hatred awake in a man...

...who tries to forget these...

...unbearable tensions with alcohol and drugs?

This, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, is the shattering picture of a human tragedy!

A picture you should think of when you will be judging my client.

We are in the middle of the gathering of evidence, solicitor.

You will have enough time for your final speech.

Excuse me, all I want to add is that my client has got psychiatric treatment since then.

Yes, for the attempted murder of his fiance.

Who he found in bed with a lover at a hotel.

- Please, what if everyone... - Gentlemen, order in the court!

The next witness please. Miss Isabelle Dubois!

Miss Dubois!

- Outragous. - Please get into the witness stand.

- Your name is Isabelle Dubois? - Isabelle Antoinette Dubois.

Isabelle Antoinette Dubois. Add the second name to the records.

You are 53 years old. Born in Lyon. Divorced. And work as a barkeeper.

And owner of the boutique Parisienne!

Yes, the court is aware of this.

And since your divorce you live at Langestrasse 165?

- Yes. - Are you related with the defendant?

Please! What do you think of me. No!

Do you want to abstain from the swearing in of the witness?

Miss Dubois. The defendant Alexander Jablonsky worked as piano player at your bar for 3 years.

You could study his behaviour over the years. Did you ever notice something suspicious?

Not that I know of, no. He was a very popular and good piano player.

Good evening. Over there please.

- Doesn't he play fantastic? - That's Alexander Jablonsky.

Years ago he was a famous piano player.

I've never heard of him.

Believe me. I saw his Chopin concerts at the academy.

- Oh. - And apparently he was an excellent painter, too.

And today he is a little coffee house piano player.

I wonder how he ended up so down-and-out.

You don't call it strange behaviour if someone stares this obviously at the poster?

No. Why?

Us women want our sex appeal to pierce the mens eyes.

Witness, you have to answer the court!

What I meant to say is that it's normal if a man looks at a picture of a beautiful woman.

Dear honour, ladies and gentleman. Please keep in mind...

...what psychological reactions a picture of the female body, like this one, had to cause.

Please, Mr. Solicitor. What do you find so provocative about this picture?

Dear witness I have to ask you to refrain from this kind of comments.

You also have to stay in the witness stand.

- Solicitor, do you have any further questions for the witness? - Yes.

Miss Dubois, weren't you the organiser of this luscious fashion show?

-Why did you place the piano so close to the catwalk on this day?

Probably because of the limited space, dear honour.

- But is that even important? - It is even very important.

Because the reason were the girls on the catwalk.

This is our young and charming Liane.

- "Oh La La" is the name of this model. - That's Outrageous! They are still kids.

Our charming Zsu Zsu is showing you this corsage.

And the racy Manon a great piece of fabric a la parisienne.

Just like this. Thank you.

And now the highlight. The star mannequin Doris.

Charming and frivolous.

Straight from Paris.

Please, gentlemen from the press. Doris is now available for you.

Smile!

More light on the breasts please.

Over here and smile.

Excellent. Thank you.

Come over here Doris. We make some more close ups.

Yes, smile. That's a front cover.

We gonan do that again. Can't you do it a little bit more lascivous?

Thanks.

The flowers are probably from the pianist for your extra show.

No, they are probably from a fat rich guy.

But the pianist... Have you seen his eyes?

- I dont know. He's a strange guy. - You turned him on pretty good.

Hurry up. Bobby has lent me his new Porsche.

Well, that's the way love goes.

The roses.

- Are you done? - Yes.

- She really seems to like you. - I have seen her on pictures before.

Have you seen the pianist from the Moulin Rouge?

He was staring at me the whole time. It gave me the creeps.

Ha, he is in love with you.

He is probably a quiet one...

...who writes letters and threatens you not to report him to the police.

Maybe he...

Help!

... the funniest thing about the story was that she ...

Help!

Jade! Jade!

Where the hell is she.

Jade! She isn't there.

Hello, you! Stop!

Sir, you lost this belt here.

From a girlfriend, huh? Must have a wasp waist.

And you didn't find it suspicious? Despite the belt?

No. How could I know that he...

Couldn't you see any signs of a fight on the defendant?

No. I definitely had noticed that.

- Mr. Prosecutor do you have any further questions? - No.

- And you Mr. Expert? - Yes.

Mr. Witness, you saw the defendant right after the murder.

Did you notice if he was in a particular state of excitement?

No.

I mean heavy sweating or nervous behaviour.

Quite the opposite. He was remarkably calm.

How shall I describe it, he didn't give an answer.

Yes. He didn't react at all.

The testimony of the witness confirms the pattern of his disease.

It's possible that Jablonski commited the crime under the influence of alcohol and...

...that he was still under the influence when he met the witness.

I have no further questions for the witness.

Mr. President. I have another question for the witness Mrs. Doris Christen.

Mrs. Christen again please.

You Mr. Witness can leave.

Witness Doris Christen!

Miss Christen. Why didn't you tell us about your extra performance during the fashion show?

- What extra performance? - You know exactly what I mean.

- If I knew it I wouldn't have asked you. - Witness you are in court!

- Refrain from these kind of remarks. - Ok.

- Witness, why didn't you tell us?

- I uhm... I didn't think it was important. - Huh, you didn't find it important.

But that your shameless extra show indirectly lead to the murder...

...of your colleague you don't find important either, huh?

- The solicitor is going a little bit too far. - May the solicitor control his temper.

Excuse me. I didn't want to accuse the witness herself but her shameless appearance in public.

I have no further questions for the witness.

But I have a question for the witness.

Please Mr. State Attorney.

Mrs. Christen, have you ever had ideas for such delicate performances before?

Yes, that's part of the show. It boosts the demand for the shown clothes.

I understand that.

Has someone ever tried to 'get closer to you' after a performance like this?

Or even more than that?

- No. - Dear ladies and gentlemen...

...the testimony of the witness clearly proofs that the performance can not,

...as suggested by the defense, be the cause for a brutal murder.

The psychiatric report clearly states that my client...

...can not mentally handle these kind of erotic stimulations.

We already know that Mr. Solicitor.

I have no further questions for the witness.

Thank you witness. You can go.

Defendant come here!

The prosecution also accuses you of raping and strangling the...

...17 year old Elisabeth M�hlbacher near the city of Klingenbach on March 12th of this year.

No. I didn't do it!

Defendant you are only to speak when being asked.

What do you have to say to these accusations?

Back then I got sick while driving in my car, so I stopped at a rest area.

Thank God. You are my saviour.

Seems today only husbands with their wifes are on the streets.

And the men are afraid to pick up girls because they'll get in trouble with their wifes.

I can understand the women. They don't want their husbands to be tempted.

That's why they mustn't drive alone.

Because the best way of getting rid of a blonde is if you beat them at their game.

Although it could be very nice.

That depends.

It's hot in here.

That was close. You must have good nerves.

Are you the silent type? The big lone wolf?

No. No. No touching. You are pretty direct, huh.

- Do you want one? - Please.

Can you stop over there for a minute.

Go away!

What do you want from me?

Go away you scoundrel.

Help!

Open up! We want something to drink! Open up!

Do you really want the court to believe your fairy tale of the big unknown guy. You, out of all people.

- I swear. - Your swearing won't help you. Your denying only makes your situation worse.

Mr. State Attorney! Defendant, have a good look at this picture.

Elisabeth M�hlbacher. 17 years old. The victim of a terrible crime.

- Raped and brutally strangled. - I didn't do it.

Mr. President in regard of the murder of Elisabeth M�hlbacher...

...I demand to question superintendent Behrens.

Witness Wilhelm Behrens! Defendant you can sit down.

Witness Wilhelm Behrens!

- Please. - Thank you.

Your name is Wilhelm Behrens and you are the superintendent at the local police.

That's correct.

I remind you of the oath you took as a policeman.

You have to tell the truth and nothing but the truth.

- According to the police files you have lead the investigation about Jablonsky. - Yes.

What makes the defendant a suspect in the murder of Elisabeth M�hlbacher?

Essential was the identification of the defendant by the signalman Franz Nikolasch.

Who identified the defendant during the lineup without a doubt.

Mr. President, may I speak.

Mr. Witness, my client never tried to deny the ride with the girl.

Neither with the police or the judge.

How can you jump to the conclusion that the defendant has killed the girl?

First: Jablonsky was seen near the crime scene when the murder happened.

Second: The noncredibility of his statement. Especially in regard of the defendant's criminal history.

All these things are no proof. Just signs or vague assumptions.

I also quote from the psychiatric expertise.

"According to the clinical examination from June 27th, this year,

...Alexander Jablonsky is extremely exciteable under the influence of alcohol.

In this condition he only finds satisfaction in...

...the strangulation of his sexual partner but not with intercourse."

I'm asking you Mr. Witness.

Has your investigation found any evidence that the defendant...

...was under the influence of alcohol during the time the crime was committed?

- No, Mr. Solicitor. - Dear honour, ladies and gentlemen of the jury.

You heard the testimony of the witness.

You know that the psychiatric examination states that the defendant...

...only has the urge to kill when under the influence of alcohol.

As Jablonsky was not under the influence of alcohol...

...I think that it's proven without a doubt that Jablonsky can not be the killer.

The prosecution also believes that defendant was not intoxicated during the time the crime was committed.

And especially because of that it is proof that defendant Jablonsky is a murder suspect.

The from the solicitor stated psychological examination states...

...that the defendant only feels the urge to kill when intoxicated.

That doesn't rule out the possibility that he doesn't find...

...satisfaction in sexual intercourse and rape when not intoxicated.

The prosecution seems to forget that Elisabeth M�hlbacher was first raped and then murdered.

So there is no parallelism with the other cases.

The prosecution is not as forgettable as the defendant likes to suggest.

This murder was committed by Alexander Jablonsky to protect himself from prosecution.

The crime is the result of the foregone rape.

Gentlemen do you have any further questions about the murder of Elisabeth M�hlbacher?

- No questions. - No.

Mr. Witness in the M�hlbacher case you couldn't produce doubtless evidence against Jablonsky.

Describe to the court how you exposed the defendant in the course of the ongoing investigation.

Well, because of all the unsolved women murders we were under a lot of pressure from the public.

We had certain leads to the defendant but we had no evidence.

That's why I decided, without informing my superiors,

...to an unusual but promising method.

Ok, just Kurt and Marianne now.

Marianne, superintendent Behrens wants to talk to you.

Meanwhile we practice some more.

Yes, Mr. Superintendent.

Congratulation Mrs. Marianne. Your moves are pretty good.

- Thank you. But you didn't come just to tell me this. - Unfortunately you are right.

Please come with me. I have to talk with you about something. The others don't have to hear it.

- Shoot. - Tell me... are you engaged?

- No. Do you want to propose? - Unfortunately not.

- Do you have any relatives? - No, my parents died during the war.

Excuse my question.

You know, it's about the recent women murders.

I have read about it, terrible.

I've worked out a desperate plan to finally catch the killer.

Where you should play a crucial role.

Well gentlemen how about it?

- Where is your criminalistic sharp eye? - Damn, I have to say...

... you are exceeding our expectations.

Like Marlene Dietrich at her best.

It's hard to believe that such an elegant bar exists in an inconspicuous basement like this.

And the elegant wardrobe. Have you seen it boss?

- Yes. We looked at the place this afternoon. - And they call themselves "Playboy Bar".

- But boss I think it's time. - We are leaving right now Hellwig.

- And you know what to do? - Yes.

You don't have to be afraid we are on our positions.

- Well, hopefully at the right moment, too! - Of course.

- She is definitely brave. - Great job getting her into this place.

Come with me.

- Now I wonder how we should get in here. - We are on the guest list.

- Good evening. Your cards please. - Here, please.

- What shall I do? - Come with me please.

- One whisky sour. - A whisky sour please!

- A bottle of champagne for this table. - A bottle of champagne.

Excellent, thank you.

- Good evening. - Good evening, gentlemen.

Please.

- Enjoy. - Thank you.

- Good evening, gentlemen. - Two whisky please.

- I'm sorry but we only serve bottles. - Bring us a bottle then. - Sure.

How come the defendant was working at the Playboy Bar?

Mr. Witness, the records state that Mr. Jablonsky was working as a pianist at the Moulin Rouge.

We found out that Jablonsky filled in for the sick bar pianist and...

Mr. Witness why hasn't the police done anything against the debauchery at this obscure bar?

Nobody has complained about it yet.

It was the Jablonsky case that lead us to this establishment behind closed doors.

Mr. Witness it is important for the taking of evidence to find out about the further events at the Playboy Bar.

Please proceed with your explanation.

It started pretty harmless. A little bit too harmless for our needs.

We saw the first reactions on Jablonsky during a daring striptease.

We knew through our investigation in the Jablonsky case that the defendant was especially aroused...

...by the erotic portrayal between women.

Because of this reason we had a certain scene added to the show through our contacts.

Come.

Come Kitty, come.

Look at Jablonsky.

I think it works.

The manager must've got suspicious.

I noticed the doorman because he was watching us the whole time.

- Get up and leave for a moment. I want to test the guy. - Alright.

Shall I follow the snoop?

Now, my dear guests we get to the popular auction game.

The auction of beauty. Brigitta, blond and slim.

An amazon of the 20th century.

Very shy, but with the right treatment...

All I can say is "Gentlemen beware". One bottle of champagne for Brigitta. Who is bidding more?

- Two bottles of champagne. - Two bottles. Going, going and...

Three bottles of champagne!

- Three bottles of champagne! - Four bottles!

- Four bottles. Going, going... - Five bottles of champagne.

Five bottles of champagne.

Going, going... and gone!

Five bottles of champagne for Brigitta!

Gentlemen, please.

Come here.

I think Carmen wants to leave.

Get on your position.

Going, going... and gone!

Eight bottles of champagne...

...for Yvonne from Paris. Gentlemen, please.

What's the hurry, huh?

I've had it. I don't let myself be auctioned to the old guys anymore.

You'll be in the bar in 3 minutes or you will see what happens.

And now gentlemen from the cold north to the hot south.

A racy beauty from sunny Spain.

Carmen. Full of secrets, passionate and a hot fire.

And no one could put out the blaze until this day.

A bottle of champagne for Carmen. Going, who is bidding more?

Two bottles!

Two bottles of champagne. Going, going... and...

- Three bottles! - Three bottles of champagne. Going, going ...and gone!

- Bertha 4! - Here Bertha 4, listening.

Come to the entrance of the Playboy Bar!

One arrest, but don't cause a stir.

Understood, over.

Don't you want to drink a glass with me?

Cheers!

Cheers. One corner is still available.

Oh, Romeo and Juliet in love.

Don't be shy the two of you! You don't have to be embarrassed in front of me.

- I think I'm bothering you. - She's jealous, huh?

Let me go you pigs. Or I beat you up.

Reporting to the superintendent. The arrest proceeds as planned.

Come and help us.

The top sensation of this evening. Kitty! Young, tender and illegaly young.

Five bottles of champagne for our charming teenager Kitty.

- Going, going and... - Six bottles!

- Six bottles of champagne for Kitty! - Six bottles. Going, going and... - 10 bottles!

Oh la la, ten bottles of champagne for Kitty. Going, going and gone!

Ten bottles of champagne for Kitty!

Congratulation!

- Today is your first time here? - Yes.

As I can see you like it here.

Was the auction of Kitty with tax payers money directly connected...

...with the Jablonsky case or did you have other plans as well?

There were 2 reasons. First: She seemed to be in danger by the defandent as well and I wanted to protect her.

And second, I needed proof for the arrest of the bar owner for...

...the instigation of minors to lewd acts and procuration.

- Ouch, are you crazy? - Police!

- That's it for today. Get dressed and don't make a scene. - But what...

Shut up or I'll arrest you.

And now music for Marion.

- Careful, police! - Shut up!

- I'm with the police, too. - What's going on?

- I think he has his eyes on Marion. - Come with me.

You wait here until someone picks you up.

Open up! Open up!

Is anybody there? Come out, police!

Shit!

What's going on here?

Don't grow roots and shut the door. Don't ask any questions. Police! Get dressed.

- And this you leave here, we still need it. - Why? - I'll tell you later.

Bertha 5! Bertha 5!

- What do we do about the hair? - I got it boss.

Bertha 5. Come to the third window on the right of the Playboy Bar.

Understood, over.

Come on, hurry.

Call me immediately after you have dropped her off at home.

Shut the door, damnit!

Why did you leave your position?

Jablonsky slipped through our fingers. We've been looking for him for over an hour.

Damnit.

He hasn't taken the bait again. Turn on the light.

- Have Marion's shadowers called? - Not yet.

You are tired Marianne. Go to your wardrobe and get dressed. I see you tomorrow at the station.

Action 1. Abort and retreat.

Everyone, abort and retreat.

- Do you want one? - No thanks.

I repeat, an arrest warrant for the manager of the Playboy Bar.

Understand, over.

Mr. Witness how was it possible that the defendant could leave the bar despite the police presence?

Through the sewage system of the city. Which is directly connected with the basement of the bar.

And you didn't think of watching Jablonsky's car?

No, that wasn't necessary.

I could only arrest him for attempted murder and all potential victims were under police surveillance.

And what about assistant Marianne K�rner, inspector?

Excuse me, I've orders from inspector Behrens to take you home.

That's ok. I'ts gonna be alright.

- But it's an order from the inspector. - Then I order you to get back to your position.

Yes.

I find it very surprising that your men were not able to...

...prevent the lightheaded actions of the police assistant. Or at least give her enough protection.

You have observed the defendant at the Playboy bar.

You knew that he had benn drinking and that he was strongly sexually aroused due to your staged performance.

And you knew that his escape from the bar caused an immediate danger for his environment.

Hello, darling. You look sad. Your woamn has left you, huh?

Come with me and I'll comfort you.

With the right treatment you'll forget your sorrow.

Let's go.

Don't fall asleep already. Come, walk a little bit faster.

What are you waiting for?

Are you crazy? Not here. Let go of me.

What's with all the noise in the middle of the night?

Have some respect for the other guests.

All the noise with the drunk guys.

Aren't you surprised that I'm sitting in your car?

No.

Have you been expecting me?

- You are afraid? - Of what?

- Maybe of the police? - What makes you think that?

That's not hard to guess.

- Why did you flee from the bar? - That's non of your business.

But I want to help you.

That you aren't indifferent to me you have already noticed at the bar. You can tell me.

Drive to my place. No one will expect you to be there.

- You have no other choice! - I don't trust any woman.

- Yes, I know. - What do you know?

I have the feeling that you are very lonely.

- Where do you live? - At Tannenstrasse. - Good.

Over there, after the intersection, you can stop the car.

- Cesar to Central. - Here Central.

- Inspector Behrens, please. It's urgent. - Please wait.

- Cesar, copy. - Behrens.

We've just seen Jablonsky's car in front of the station. Marianne is with him. They are leaving the city.

Follow them Immediately. I'll start a manhunt.

Copy. Follow him!

Central is calling Anton, Bertha and Emil.

- Anton! - Bertha! - Emil!

The manhunt Jablonsky's is on again. He is leaving the city southbound.

Don't stop the car with force. A police woman is inside the car.

- Anton, copy! - Bertha, copy! - Emil, copy!

Thank you, over!

Turn around. You have no chance.

It's over Jablonsky. I know that you are the killer.

Turn around or I'll force you.

Shoot and we both die.

It's pointless Jablonsky. You can't escape us.

Open up! Open up!

Help! Help!

What's going on? Who is this?

I'm coming!

Marianne! Marianne! Marianne!

The testimony of Marianne K�rner proofs that the defendant attempted the murder without sexual arousal.

Sober and calcuated to avoid his arrest.

That makes the weak psychiatric expertise, the solicitor's case is based on, obsolete.

The gathering of evidence has proven the premeditation without a doubt.

Dear honour, ladies and gentlemen. Please have a good look at these pictures.

Beastly acts of a devil in a human body.

Deliberate. As deliberate as the killing of his victims.

For the defendant Alexander Jablonsky I demand the maximum penalty!

Life sentence!

The killer killed himself Jablonsky hung himself in his cell

- Did you follow the Jablonsky case? - Terrible, isn't it? I can't believe that people like him exist.

One barely dares to go on the street.
