INSPECTOR REX

The boss is here.

TARGET REX

Rex!

Rex!

Bring me a rag.

A rag, Rex.

Bring me a rag.

I have to do everything myself! Maybe I should marry again.

You could help. Bring me some rags.

There's no paper left.

They're in the bathroom. Go on.

The phone, Rex!

Hi, Stockinger. What's up? I'm busy.

A murder in the First District?

What? A nightclub owner?

Let's meet at the train station.

Rex.

Rex! Official business!

Everything okay again?

He took the 1 2.30 a.m. train from Vienna to St Petersburg.

Look here.

- It's from his file. - Great.

What's up?

I tried ringing once before.

Novotny has been taken care of.

We're arresting you on suspicion of murder.

Alexander lvanich Karenin.

I was born on 2 March 1 948.

I am Russian.

Where did you learn all that?

You even know the number of the solicitor here.

We'll find your contacts here.

- My name is Alexander Karenin. - And I'm Karamazov's brother!

You're trying our patience.

Listen carefully, Karenin.

We have a witness who can identify you.

My name is Alexander lvanitch Karenin.

I was born on 2 March 1 948.

I am Russian.

We have plenty of time... Mr Karenin.

Good evening.

I'm Dr Bernhard, Mr Karenin's solicitor.

That was quick.

- Only testify before the judge. - We don't need...

Your lD.

I hope Mr Karenin doesn't pay you in rubles.

We don't need his testimony, Dr Bernhard.

- We have plenty against him. - Surely no irrefutable proof.

- Mr Karenin is a tourist. - We're not that naive.

Your client was in Vienna twice.

And two club owners were shot in the neck. Coincidence?

A solicitor of your standing

would hardly come here at night for a mere tourist.

Where did he get your number?

- I don't have to answer that. - Please do.

I have many clients from there. He must have got it that way.

In Austria everyone has a right to a solicitor. Tourists too!

- When is the custodial hearing? - Tomorrow morning.

Take him away!

I must speak with Mr Karenin outside.

Alone!

- He won't get out that fast. - We shall see. Good night.

Great...

All we need is Karenin being released!

He didn't have a gun on him.

No fingerprints were found at the first murder.

And Novotny's corpse and the phone call at the station?

He's always been a suspect. What more do you want?

Nothing. Enough for today.

Matzner here.

- This is Dr Bernhard. - Just a moment.

Go on ahead.

I can talk now.

The police arrested Karenin at the station.

What? Any proof?

The inspector overheard him say Novotny had been taken care of.

- Which inspector? - Moser.

The one with the dog who was on the first case.

- When is the hearing? - In the morning. It looks bad.

- That's in ten hours. - See to it I'm not implicated.

How much does Karenin know?

What a stupid question! I'm the go-between. I hired him.

- Does he know your clients? - No.

- But the police could infer. - You'd better hurry.

They can remand him on Moser's testimony.

Don't lose your nerve. I'll think of something.

Rex?

He always leaves the door open.

Rex?

Good boy.

Good boy.

Has Rex been yet to get the buns?

Yes? Thanks.

Rex!

- Moser here. - Missing a dog?

- Yes. Where is he? - He's still okay.

What?

If you want to see him again, forget what you heard last night.

- Prove you've got the dog. - You'll have found two buns.

If Karenin is released, you'll get the dog.

I want to know he's alive!

Get him to the phone.

- No go if I don't hear from him. - I'll call you back.

Call me back on my mobile.

0663 91 2 4442.

Good morning, Richard. Any developments?

We have some. The taxidriver retracted his statement.

Bring over the sugar.

You'd never have caught Karenin without the taxidriver.

- Now he remembers nothing. - He must be running scared.

I bet someone got to him.

His evidence wouldn't have stood up in court.

By the way, where's Rex?

He's...

He's at home. Sick.

With a cold or something.

- Have you seen a vet? - For such a small thing?

Now leave me alone!

I have to... think.

Maybe we should go through the evidence one more time.

Richard?

Richard?

Okay, but make it fast.

Case 1. Franz Breiner is shot in front of his club two months ago.

No weapon, no fingerprints, shot in the neck, 9mm, no witnesses.

A taxidriver picks up a man with a Russian accent

close to the nightclub and takes him to the station.

I suspected then he was a hit man.

A fight for supremacy in the nightclub business.

Yes. Case 2.

Georg Novotny is shot last night at his club in the same way.

The identical crimes point to the same culprit.

Does this stuff have to lie around on the floor?

We catch him at the station, you hear him saying...

I know the rest.

I'm going downstairs.

There's plenty of time, Richard.

Have you ever seen Richard like this?

The way he looked at you...

He's probably worried about Rex.

Wake up, you mongrel!

Hello? No, probably not. Not enough time.

Wake up, damn you!

- Yes? - Richard, this is Leo.

- I can't right now, Leo. - Hello?

Inspector...

I'll be right there.

Moser here.

You wanted to speak to your dog.

- Here. - Yes?

Rex?

Hello? Rex?

Rex. Hey!

Got up to silly things, did you?

Just stay calm.

I'll get you out, Rex. You hear?

Rex...

Rex.

Be careful. Okay?

Enough!

Rex.

- Hello? - Let go of the receiver!

So now you know your dog is alive.

- Listen, l... - Forget what you overheard.

Then we'll talk.

I can't remember what Mr Karenin said.

Mr Moser...

Think carefully about your statement.

There's nothing to think about. There was a lot of noise.

Then there was this van...

Mr Moser...

If you withdraw your testimony, I can't remand Karenin.

We have no other evidence.

I'm sorry, but I'm sticking to it.

You were quite sure in your first statement

that Karenin mentioned Novotny.

Yes, but that was last night.

Now I'm not sure any more.

Very well, Mr Moser. If you say so.

I'll have to release Mr Karenin.

Okay, thanks.

There are similar cases in Germany and France.

Same scene, same calibre.

All nightclub owners, shot in the neck.

Our two are probably not the only ones Karenin did in.

Can you tell us what the matter is with you?

Karenin is being released.

What? Is that judge out of his mind?

- With your statement? - I withdrew it.

But you heard how Karenin said...

Of course I heard it! They've got Rex.

Who?

Who's got Rex?

I don't know who.

Either I withdraw my statement or they'll kill him.

What'll we do now?

First I have to find the dog. Nothing else matters.

You know what it means to give a false statement to the judge.

No one will understand doing such a thing for a dog.

None of them can imagine...

I'll look for Rex by myself. My dog, my affair.

What do you mean "your dog"? He's ours too.

If they discharge me, Stockinger, then I'm done with.

- You've got a family. - Stop it. What will we do?

Forget it. I don't want to drag you into it.

Has anyone asked me?

Listen, Richard...

We're idiots who stick their necks out for others.

Right?

Are we to look the other way when one of us has a problem?

And anyway...

You're more than just a colleague of ours.

Leave the thanks till we're all job searching.

Any clue where Rex might be?

I heard a plane during the call.

It was 9.33 a.m.

It sounded as if it were landing. Hurry, call the airport.

- What can I do? - Call that solicitor.

See if he knows anything.

He'll maintain confidentiality, but try anyway.

Karenin will be released soon. Tail him, but be careful.

Thanks.

- What is it? - Something maybe.

There's only one corridor at that hour.

- Which one? - Over the Danube.

- See anything? - A few churches, inns, farms.

- Not a soul on the streets. - Let's ask around down there.

- See if anyone heard barking. - There are dogs everywhere.

See you later.

Dogs? Almost everyone has one here in the village.

They all bark.

All of them.

Are there any isolated houses where you wouldn't hear it?

- Yes, over there. - Thanks.

Right, so Karenin is out. Tail him and keep me informed.

I knew that solicitor wouldn't say anything. Bye.

- Nothing. What do we do now? - I don't have a clue.

Where else could we look?

Look how low he's flying.

Get going over there!

Aren't you a nice doggy?

A really nice doggy.

Do you bite?

You're new around here or I'd have seen you before.

I live over there.

It's a dead end.

We'd have searched the whole area with backup.

That's illegal. Legally the dog is dispensable.

Let's carry on. We have no other choice.

- I'll start over here. - Let's meet at the church.

Richard? It's me. Karenin went straight to the airport.

He just bought a ticket to St Petersburg.

Bernhard is with him. Will I do anything?

No. I want Rex first. Stick with Karenin. I'll call you.

Do you want to show me something?

- Have you seen a dog? - No.

I mean a... Thanks. Goodbye.

Want to come to my place?

Great! We can play together.

Too bad.

A new dog in this area?

I don't think so.

My son would have told me. He loves dogs.

- What about isolated houses? - There are a few.

- Where? - Over there.

Thanks.

- Moser here. - Karenin is checking in.

He'll be on the plane soon. Have you got Rex?

No, we haven't.

Listen, H"llerer.

Arrest Karenin. Do as I say. Tell him we have new evidence.

- That spells trouble. - I know.

- Just a minute! - Police. I'm making an arrest.

Mr Karenin!

Homicide. I'm arresting you on suspicion of two murders.

Are you crazy?

I've just been released.

You have no proof.

Yes, we do!

You know as well as I do.

- You'll get into big trouble. - Gladly.

The name is H"llerer in case you want to complain. Let's go.

Yes?

Got it. I'll see to it.

Don't be sad. I have to go home now.

I'll be back right after school tomorrow.

Goodbye.

Bye.

- H"llerer has arrested Karenin. - What?

Yes. I told him to.

- You know what you're doing? - No time to lose.

Mum! A dog played with me.

Run after him and tell him. He went that way.

Damn!

- He wasn't over there. - Hey, wait!

- Are you looking for the dog? - Yes.

I played with one today. It was a nice German shepherd.

Good. Now listen...

We must find the dog. Where is he?

- Down there. - Where?

- Round the corner. - Which house?

Left round the corner. The last house.

Thanks. You stay here!

- Are you sure? - It has to be this one.

Drop your gun!

Rex?

Rex...

Everything okay?

My God...

Well?

Friends again?

If I were you, I'd tell who your boss is, fast,

or the dog's owner will do the questioning.

You're implicated in two murder cases here, Mr Matzner.

I want my solicitor.

You'll need a new one, Mr Matzner.

Dr Bernard is also our guest on charges of being an accessory.

Take him away.

A hitman agency. It's mad!

Matzner wanted to avoid being implicated if Karenin talked.

Not a bad system.

The culprit leaves right after the killing.

He has no link to the victims and we find nothing.

In any case Karenin's journey is now between jail and court.

- Stockinger. H"llerer. - Yes?

Come over here.

- What's up? - I just wanted to say...

- You risked your jobs for Rex. - So did you.

- You risked your jobs... - No big deal.

I want to thank you.

Yes... you too.
