CO-PRODUCTION SUPPORTED BY

There. The champagne will warm you up.

I don't understand.

I don't understand this!

I want to go home. Please.

Fuck!

Karo.

What... What...

Keep still.

Come here. The police are on their way.

Karo, stay calm. Don't move.

No! No!

DELIRIUM

the Supreme Court

must decide, on the basis

of my psychiatric report,

whether the defendant Carsten Spanger can be held accountable.

THREE MONTHS LATER

The defendant clearly

created his own reality.

What he did to these women were not criminal acts

but acts he considered necessary to uphold this reality.

The defendant's capacity for self-control is severely limited.

And for this reason, I recommend he be kept

in detention

as a certified insane offender.

- What? - What is this?

After this expert opinion,

I wish to hear the testimony of a further witness.

EDITORIAL STAFF

Dr Eckhardt, please come forward.

DIRECTOR

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, before we hear the witness,

I wish to point out that Doctor Eckhardt was taken off the case for good reason.

Noted.

Doctor Eckhardt, you know the procedure?

- Yes. - Please state your full name,

your age, place of residence and marital status.

Karla Eckhardt, 43, Vienna, unmarried.

And your profession?

Psychiatrist.

Where and for how long have you been practising your profession?

At Baumberger Hoehe Prison,

where criminally insane offenders are kept.

- Morning. - I've worked there...

since 2010.

And your responsibilities there?

Compiling psychiatric reports for the court,

but mainly the treatment of the mentally ill offenders

who are staying with us.

Most of them stay until they can be reintegrated into society.

But some must stay at the prison due to their dangerous behaviour.

Help!

Their entire lives.

I will stab you. Then admit it... Go on.

- Astrid! Astrid. - Please! Please.

What did Birgit do to upset you?

The bloody slag doesn't believe me!

That you're pregnant?

It's more important you take care of yourself.

And your child.

It's my responsibility

to recommend to the court who stays with us

and who should be admitted.

FIRST DAY OF EVALUATION

Sir, I can't just fit in a report and the respective evaluation.

All cases are urgent.

Just because he resisted at his arrest doesn't mean he should be admitted.

I think his file has arrived.

Dr Eckhardt.

I'm Niklas Teubert, the trainee. We met recently.

Dr Lodenscheidt asked me

to check whether a police file has arrived here. He needs it.

A report needs to be written for a famous architect.

The press is here. They want to know if his hospitalization was forced.

I mean, whether he was admitted temporarily.

Dr Eckhardt.

Nice to finally see you here.

You have the file there, I see.

Which will be used for the report that I, not you, was charged with writing.

There's a problem there.

This case will make waves.

And we both know only too well

that working with the public is not your strength.

I'm more interested in the people in here.

I know. But there's a world outside, too.

- Working with the press will... - Excuse me. She wanted to see you.

That's right.

I demand that my defendant Carsten Spanger is released immediately.

My colleague will talk to your defendant

very shortly, and then...

judge whether to keep him here or not.

What you call "judge" I see as pure randomness.

Make sure you don't make any mistakes.

Or I will tear apart your expertise in public.

That's why I prefer the people in here.

Now calm down...

Good morning.

I'm Karla Eckhardt.

The court has hired me to make a psychiatric evaluation.

- Let's take those off. - Please.

Are you in charge of my release?

- I'd like to ask some questions first. - Of course.

Do you know where you are?

In a very pink room.

It's supposed to be calming.

It helps some people put their thoughts in order.

Others see it as a waste of tax money.

Do you know why you're here?

A lot of things happened yesterday that I didn't want.

My lawyer said that I was admitted here because I resisted at my arrest.

Yes.

What happened?

The whole situation escalated when a violent stranger entered

my house.

I feared for my life.

These were exceptional circumstances.

Were you ever kept in a small space against your will?

I can imagine the feeling, yes.

Thankfully it's over.

It took a while for you to calm down.

What went through your head during this time?

Nothing. I...

I just wanted to get out of there.

What I still don't understand...

This young woman...

Karo Eisner. You tied her up and gagged her.

How did that happen?

I thought she wanted that at first.

Then she suddenly said she wanted to leave.

I misinterpreted the situation...

Suddenly a switch turned in me, and...

something took over.

"Something" took over or you misinterpreted the situation?

It just happened.

She was standing in the rain.

I gave her a ride, we had a nice chat.

She accepted my invitation to come over.

I... I think those are clear signs, don't you?

How would the night have continued if you'd not been disturbed?

I would've calmed down and took her back home.

Have you felt this sense of being taken over before?

Perhaps to a lesser degree?

No. No.

So how do you know you would've calmed down?

I assume so.

But perhaps it makes more sense to discuss this further with the police.

That will have to wait.

Based on your answers,

I can't rule out that you pose a danger to yourself or others.

I don't pose a danger to anyone.

That's why I presume my being held here

will be considered an unnecessary misjudgement.

Your lawyer must've told you

it can take up to four days for the court to check a case.

What?

I'll get someone to bandage that up again.

And where?

I should make it in half an hour.

Yes. Okay.

- I'll hurry. - Dr Eckhardt.

Here. Everything I could find out about Carsten Spanger.

In chronological order, to save you time.

What was your first impression of him?

I'm sorry about that thing with the post.

- I was... - Brown-nosing Lodenscheidt.

Someone who brown-noses in this profession is in the wrong place.

We often make unpleasant decisions about human lives.

You need a spine for that, not a trail of slime.

- But... - Dr Eckhardt, how is Mr Spanger?

- Is the report ready? - Will you release him?

In case the doctor wants to comment...

- Out. Go on. - Dr Eckhardt...

Dr Eckhardt, I've read almost every one of your reports.

You see things no one else does.

- Give me a second chance. - And what do I get out of it?

Apart from a little online research?

Unlike you, people find me sympathetic.

That might be helpful.

- Do you have a car? - Yes.

Let's go to Spanger's house.

Spanger must've been a workaholic.

He designed and built over 20 buildings.

But the last project was eight years ago. There. The Watermark.

By the old Danube river.

Since then, I found no interviews with him or anything.

That's not typical for someone who enjoyed attention.

That definitely points to a crisis.

That's Andreas Horak, the property developer.

He carried out almost every project with him.

- Mr Public Prosecutor. - Right.

Spanger wants to cooperate with the police.

He doesn't have a record.

Deprivation of liberty is not a little deal,

but it's not murder.

Couldn't you have turned a blind eye?

I can't even blink in this case.

- Why? - He said something took over.

Affective impulse control disorders don't just appear.

There's usually a long history.

So either he's lying about events,

or he has a deep-seated personality disorder.

Either way he's unpredictable.

And thus dangerous.

Okay then...

Call me if you need anything.

Okay.

And this is his villa.

We'll be there soon.

Excuse me. Who are you?

It's okay.

Shame we always meet at these occasions.

Maybe we should go for a beer sometime.

Just kidding.

Well... Anyway.

The victim's ex-boyfriend broke in here.

And then he went down there.

- Ex-boyfriend? - Yes.

He thought they were still together.

He was stalking her with her mobile's tracking function.

You're a colleague of the doctor's?

Trainee.

Niklas Teubert.

And here he tried with all his force to get out.

And that's where he placed her and tied her up with duct tape.

We're only investigating for imprisonment with bodily harm.

But what if he planned this?

- Planned? - Yes.

It's possible.

Pre-meditated.

Then he'd be a psycho.

Can I look at these?

We're confiscating it first.

Always a pleasure to see you, Dr Eckhardt.

And you, spit out that bloody chewing gum.

You're no longer a pig.

All this fuss over a famous architect.

People like him always work something out in their favour.

Interesting, right?

He didn't have children.

My suspicion is he wants to seem trustworthy this way.

People are more likely to get into a family man's car.

Yes, or maybe he drove his neighbours' kids around?

Yes. The sun visors prove nothing.

Except that they're ugly.

But that's all we have.

If all this was not a coincidence, then what was he planning to do with her?

It's obvious what he wanted. He wanted to have sex with you.

How silly can you be to get into a stranger's car just 'cause it's raining?

It was raining heavily.

How did he seem when he wouldn't let you go?

Was he excited?

Aggressive?

Did he talk to you?

Insult you, perhaps?

Well...

He wasn't aggressive.

What do you mean, he wasn't aggressive?

He freaked out.

He almost smashed the windows just with his hand.

He wanted to kill me. And you.

Can you tell me how you overpowered him?

That would help us a lot in the investigation.

Would you like some coffee? My treat.

It's coming.

Are you okay?

Yes.

I don't see it that way.

There's a café down here I think.

I'm so stupid.

Why did I get in?

It's hard to recognise evil in people.

He was so...

friendly. So comforting.

How do you mean?

Well...

He was so sweet. Took care of me.

He hung up my things so they could dry.

Was he insecure or nervous when he did that?

Not really.

On the contrary. He was...

He was very calm.

Except for when...

- When did his behaviour change? - When...

I first told him I wanted to go.

Then...

he hit me and tied me up, and...

But as soon as that was over, he was friendly again.

That was the worst part of it.

That really scared me.

Physically she seems to be fine, but that night really shook her up.

According to Karo Eisner, Carsten stayed calm.

No insecurity, no nervousness.

This might be routine for him.

- What? - What?

Okay. That's bad. Do you really think...

So not only pre-meditated, but perhaps a repeat offender?

Not necessarily.

It's the most obvious explanation for his behaviour.

But then none of the previous women reported him.

Spanger has no record.

Unless...

There were a few cases... Probably it's nonsense, but...

I have to take a look.

Thanks anyhow.

- Yes. Bye for now. - Bye.

Is this the right place?

Yes.

That's just how it is.

See you tomorrow.

It was a pleasure.

Karli!

I didn't think you'd show up tonight.

I had some work to do.

- Uh-huh. - We have a difficult case.

Oh?

There we go.

Here, my lovelies...

Well, at least you're here now.

It's busy.

40-year anniversary.

How time flies, huh?

Things have hardly changed.

The guests are happy.

And I got new ashtrays.

You haven't seen those.

Uschi, will you get us three more pints?

Yes, coming up.

Would you like a drink?

- Soda and raspberry? - Yes.

Is that your daughter?

She's like a mother to all of us,

Uschi is.

Karli, can you go change the barrel in the back?

Right.

Here's the first one.

Help me.

Help me. Help me. Let me out.

Let me out.

- What are you doing? - I'm sorry.

It was so dark in here.

So? That doesn't mean you have to knock everything over.

Karli. You're no longer a child.

I'll go get the broom.

For unique architecture, such as the Watermark...

SECOND DAY OF EVALUATION

one needs inspiration, an impetus.

That's why I wish to dedicate this piece to my mother,

who is unfortunately no longer with us to see this.

She always supported me,

and inspired me.

Bravo!

Bravo!

Did someone go clubbing yesterday?

As always.

I have something here that might wake you up.

So, to date, there are three possible victims.

This one here had a head injury from a blunt object,

which was probably caused by a third party.

This one was suffocated.

Otherwise there were no signs of violence.

She had haematomas on her neck and arms.

Oh well...

Because the bodies of these women were all found

in the Danube at regular intervals,

I think this might fit.

Then there's this one.

Antonia Weiland.

She also fits the profile.

But she hasn't been found yet.

She's probably at the bottom of the Danube.

Good morning.

I thought you might also like...

a coffee.

Ah, hey.

Thanks.

I don't drink coffee.

Were these women murdered?

Yes.

But so far no connection was found between the cases.

Spanger?

It's possible. But it's just a theory without proof so far.

The public prosecutor will decide the next move.

Can I tell Bruckner you agree with my repeat offender theory?

If you ask me, this repeat offender theory is nonsense.

As far as I can see, no similarities were found between these cases.

Ms Hinzey,

this is too weak.

What else do you have?

Ms Eisner disappeared when it was raining.

Yes.

So did she.

And so did she, and her too.

And so did Antonia Weiland.

I think we should search his home again.

For DNA or leads to a place

where he might have held the women captive for a while.

What does Dr Eckhardt say to this?

She gave me the idea in the first place.

She's talking to Spanger about his thoughts on women now.

I went to see Karo Eisner at the hospital yesterday.

Yes.

I heard you went to my home too.

Are you always so scrupulous?

Or are you just making so much effort for me?

One can write a psychiatric report

on a piece of toilet paper after a five-minute conversation.

As long as a doctor signs it. Although not even that is necessary.

I think everyone deserves more than that, right?

How is Karo?

As you'd expect, considering.

We talked about you.

I was surprised. She spoke of you...

fondly, almost.

Well, I didn't want to harm her.

Then what did you want?

You said Karo's rejection flipped a switch inside you.

Normally this is followed by punishment or humiliation,

but you had champagne and classical music.

Are you accusing me of not being brutal enough?

I'm not accusing you.

How would you describe your relationships with women up till now?

Short.

Did you want to have a longer relationship?

Yes, of course.

But?

I worked a lot in my life to get where I am now.

And anyway...

the "right one" was never among them.

What about you?

I can imagine most men find you intimidating.

You're not wearing a ring.

So you're not married and don't have kids.

I get bored quickly.

I rarely meet people who fascinate me.

So I prefer to stay alone.

Isn't that an excuse to cover up a fear of intimacy?

Isn't waiting for the "right one" too?

How do you feel about being alone?

I'm fine. And who says I'm alone anyway?

Who are the people who are close to you?

I don't want to drag anyone into this.

Why not?

Our conversation makes no sense like this.

At the Watermark's inauguration

you made a very moving speech in honour of your mother.

That was a nice gesture.

What about your parents?

- How's your relationship with them? - This is not about me.

Too bad.

My mother has owned a pub for 40 years, so she works hard.

She works hard?

And the pub was more important than her child?

- Did your mother work? - She wanted to.

She was a talented actress.

She was about to have a breakthrough.

But then she decided to dedicate herself to me.

I guess it's a question of priorities.

Are you hungry?

You're very attentive.

Would you like someone to stay with you?

Don't we all?

I think you wanted Karo Eisner to stay with you.

You taped her mouth shut when she said she wanted to leave.

Why are you doing this?

- We were having such a nice chat. - Were we?

I think you're avoiding the unpleasant questions.

You're avoiding the one question you've wanted to ask

since you stepped into this room.

Ask me.

Karo Eisner was not the first one.

Right?

We're taking Spanger in.

- Come with us. - Public Prosecutor's orders.

He'll shut down if you interrogate him.

Leave him here.

We need results.

Not conversational therapy.

Antonia Weiland.

Her daughter's been waiting for her mother to come home every day.

For her to take her into her arms again.

I have two kids myself.

They don't give up on you.

Not for as long as there is a grain of hope.

Help the little one to have closure.

What sort of perverse arsehole are you?

Did it make you horny, killing those women?

'Cause you can't get a hard-on otherwise? Is that it?

Where is she?

Where is she?

INVESTIGATIVE REPORT

FREAKED OUT AFTER REJECTION, NO REMORSE

Yes.

- Did you say to come in? - Yes.

Ms Hinzey just sent the file with the content of the VHS tape on it.

It's just Spanger's mother.

Tell her it would've been nice to get a warning

that her colleague was planning an arrest.

- I'll come back later. - No.

I'm not making progress.

Are you ready, my little sunshine?

Oh, swear not by the moon,

the inconstant moon.

That monthly changes in her circled orb.

Lest that thy love prove likewise variable.

What should I swear, Mum?

Just leave it...

Or, if thou wilt,

swear by thy gracious self.

Which is the god of my idolatry...

She's bad.

- Yes. - Extremely bad.

If my heart's... If my heart's...

Heart's dear love...

But Spanger believed she was talented.

Well, he has a distorted view of reality.

Exactly.

He was taught that from a young age.

His mother used him to uphold her self-image of the talented actress.

Recognition had the highest value.

She manipulated him with love and devaluation.

That's why he never developed self-esteem

and has narcissistic tendencies at the same time.

He needs confirmation from others to feel he's worth something.

And so his greatest fear is being alone.

His mother died...

and a few months later, the first of the women disappeared.

He kidnapped them to not be alone,

but why did he kill them?

They didn't love him enough.

So he looked for someone new.

Although...

I don't think he took the risk of being alone in the meantime.

This is Sandra Hinzey's voicemail.

Please leave a message after the beep.

It's Eckhardt. Antonia Weiland might still be alive.

Call me back ASAP.

We need to speak to someone who knows Spanger.

Horak.

The property developer.

You know where he lives?

By the Watermark.

Do you think Mr Spanger is capable of forcing someone

to stay with him at all costs?

No one really knows Carsten.

Neither do I.

He gives a lot.

At first.

But at some point he turns into someone who is never satisfied.

What happened exactly?

He accused me of things.

That I'd used him professionally.

But his designs got gradually worse.

I told him so eventually.

How did he react?

I was never insulted so much in my life. He knows how to find your weak spots.

It's not normal.

Did he treat women the same way?

Yes.

But they were more clever than me.

They quickly distanced themselves.

Does he have a holiday home or something?

Another apartment...

Something unofficial perhaps.

No. Well, not that I know of.

Mr Teubert, can you bring Ms Hinzey up-to-date?

Teubert speaking.

Outside.

One moment.

So the trigger for your argument was Spanger's bad designs?

And you had no contact for eight years?

I told you that already.

- Did Horak say anything useful? - No.

But he was very tense, considering they argued eight years ago.

- And Ms Hinzey? - Nothing either.

Spanger will be sent back to us tomorrow, and...

he'll be released in two days.

But did you tell her Antonia Weiland might still be alive?

Of course, but the fact is she hasn't found proof

to support the repeat offender theory.

That's ridiculous.

That woman is probably somewhere out there, starving, or freezing.

Do you think you have enough to get to him?

I don't know.

I have the feeling I'm missing something.

Are you the right one?

It's about you. It's only about you.

Help me.

Let me out.

Let me out.

It's only about you.

She was very loving towards me, in all that I did.

Let me out...

It's only about you.

Help me...

What are you doing here?

Are you okay?

I couldn't sleep.

- Have a schnapps. Good for the nerves. - Mum, I don't drink.

Oh, yes, right.

I brought you something.

It should be the right one. And it has a long life.

I already put in a new one.

Why couldn't you sleep?

I have some more spare ones in case the light goes off.

- Will you help me collect the ashtrays? - No, I want to talk to you.

About the past.

Karli, please...

Don't be upset, but can't we do this another time?

I want to sort this out now.

I still have a lot to do before I can lock up here.

Unlike you, I'm not paid for talking.

Don't use your work as an excuse. You've done that too often.

What do you want to talk about?

They are... They were not easy times, and you were not an easy child.

- Yes. You made sure I knew that. - Karli...

What is this?

You let out all your frustration with your little life on me.

- Don't talk to me like that. - Or what? You'll lock me away?

Bloody nonsense.

Don't you see it stands between us?

Oh...

You know what?

Never mind.

THIRD DAY OF EVALUATION

- I want to see Spanger. - Yes.

In the same year, you lost your mother

and broke off contact with your best friend.

You've designed nothing since the Watermark.

Is that what Horak told you?

He always took credit for what I did.

- The Watermark is a masterpiece. - It wasn't an easy time for you.

You were hurt.

Alone.

It's understandable that you longed for someone.

To then kill that person in cold blood?

The police told me the same story.

It's disappointing to see what you think of me since we talked.

I think you're someone who has a lot to give.

But no one wants what you have to give.

And so, let me guess,

you want to be there for me, but only if I help you find that woman?

- My god... - I'm telling you what I see.

And do you know what I see?

A woman who can't give.

Who fled here,

to hide behind the superiority of her therapist role

because she's afraid

of the real world out there.

You're right, yes.

I am afraid.

Of what?

The darkness.

But what is it you're really afraid of?

We had a pantry.

A...

narrow, dark one.

I always knew when it would happen.

My mother would grab me by my arm...

and lock me in there.

For hours on end sometimes.

What was she punishing you for?

Just for being there really.

If I didn't come home with an A for a test...

she wouldn't talk to me for days.

For her to take me in my arms...

I had to win a prize at least.

She always said...

that no one would ever love me...

except for her.

Children love their parents.

And... And they trust them.

They have to be loved, otherwise...

Otherwise they're alone.

Alone for life.

Are you alone?

You're not alone, are you?

It's in your hands.

We can save her.

Tell me where Antonia Weiland is.

Tell me where you hid her.

I don't hold women prisoners. Leave. Please.

My lawyer should be here at any minute.

- Mr Spanger... - Leave me alone!

- Can we... - Leave me alone!

I'll find her anyway.

It's far fetched, Doctor.

But Spanger opened up in our last conversation.

The woman's alive and he's keeping her somewhere.

She's alive.

But there's no proof for that whatsoever.

Please let us get on with our job. Goodbye.

- Sir, I... - Goodbye.

It must be by the Watermark.

It could be any other building.

Spanger has no apartment in the Watermark. We checked.

It's the only building that has access to the river.

The water current fits too.

Maybe in an extra room.

Ideally down below by the water. He designed the place.

But then Horak would know about it.

Maybe that's why they really argued.

He lives there.

That's why he behaved so strangely. Maybe...

there was no argument, and they're accomplices.

- Let's go there. - Yes.

Did the public prosecutor authorize a house warrant?

We have no more time to lose.

If Bruckner says no, my hands are tied.

And probably so are Antonia's.

I thought you'd see how urgent this is.

Look, I think we're in this way too deep.

Sorry.

You and I can go and take a look.

Without attracting attention.

Do you still have that journalist's business card?

Yes. Why?

- Okay. - Did you find anything?

Nothing.

Thanks again.

- Did you find any tenants? - I can...

- Still haven't found anything? - No.

Then let's call it off.

- Okay. - Fine.

I'll be back in a minute.

Mr Bruckner.

There is no further information...

Putting the press on my back is the lowest form of blackmail, Dr Eckhardt.

It should be obvious why I'm taking the report off you.

What?

Oh, and you were right. We found something.

Horak lied about the size.

He cut the building costs and pocketed the money.

Spanger found out, and that's why the two of them argued back then.

A classic misinterpretation on your part.

No, please. Believe me, Antonia's alive.

And if Spanger is released, he will kill her right away to destroy all evidence.

How often have I been mistaken?

What?

Come.

Come!

There you go.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

I wish you hadn't been mistaken.

Based on the state of decomposition,

I'd say she's been in the water for two weeks.

We need to inform Antonia Weiland's family.

Is the famous architect Carsten Spanger

a serial killer?

A large-scale police operation carried out today

did not bring anything new to light.

The area...

- The police found her. - Who?

Stop this!

When did you kill her?

What did she say? Did she want to go home too?

No one can stand you. No one!

You're not sick.

You're a cold-blooded murderer.

You're so pretty when you're angry.

Shut up!

You're projecting your problems onto me.

You don't understand me as well as you think.

Shut up.

Or what?

I'm fine.

I'm fine.

No comment.

Help me.

Help me.

Let me out.

She was always very loving towards me.

Let me out.

It's only about you.

Children love their parents.

- They trust them. - Help me.

- They trust them. - Let me out.

They trust them.

- It's only about you. - Let me out.

- Let me out. - It's only about you.

FOURTH DAY OF EVALUATION

Did something happen?

No. No.

But it's almost 12 pm.

I tried to call you.

Dr Lodenscheidt wants to talk to you.

Yes. I'll be there in a minute.

They found traces of the same duct tape

he used on Karo Eisner on the body's wrists.

Dr Eckhardt, I know this is none of my business,

but I think the case is too much for you...

I'm fine.

I'm fine.

If my evaluation notes are not legible,

I'm close by.

Do you need Ms Hinzey's notes for the report?

No, I don't.

As Mr Spanger is being remanded in custody this evening,

there's time for this.

Okay.

I saw that you still have a lot of holidays left.

- Why not use it? - I'm fine.

I want to be there for...

It was not a suggestion, Dr Eckhardt.

Believe me, it's better.

For this whole place.

And your future here.

If you...

take some distance for a while.

Oh, there...

Something's not right with my child.

Not now, Astrid.

- Help me, please. - Later.

Please!

- Help me... - What is it, Astrid?

Are you okay?

Nothing is okay.

You don't wear a ring.

So you're not married and don't have kids.

She was always very loving towards me in all that I did.

Children love their parents.

They trust them.

I don't hold women prisoners.

Children love their parents.

Dr Eckhardt. I'm glad you're still here. Astrid won't calm down.

- Give her Midazolam. - We tried.

She said it would harm the child. Any other ideas?

What if someone else is alive?

- Dr Eckhardt, please. - Not a woman.

A child.

What child?

Spanger's.

Who would be the mother?

She's the mother.

The first victim.

He might've not meant to kill her, or it was an accident...

But he had a family with her. He married her. He wears a ring.

What ring? That's absurd.

A child is the perfect way of getting recognition.

Yes, okay,

but how did he take care of her?

He didn't. The women did.

The other women. They were to complete the happy family.

- You must convince Ms Hinzey to... - Karla.

Maybe you really should take a few days' break.

I have to go and see to Astrid.

You'll lose this game at some point. They found traces on Antonia Weiland.

You've been here for three days.

This evening you'll be remanded in custody.

You told me everything already. I just misunderstood.

You even spoke about the child.

Who loves their parents and trusts them.

A child who belongs to you forever.

C. SPANGER DATE: 4.11.2012

You made sure the family stuck together.

You tried again and again.

Where is your child?

He or she must be waiting for you.

Alone, and helpless.

Why are you telling me this and not the public prosecutor?

You can tell me where the child is. We have little time.

Your son or your daughter.

They'll find him or her at some point.

But then it'll be too late.

You'll never forgive yourself.

Never.

All the women disappointed you, but your child really loves you.

You can save your child.

Save your child.

I'll show you the way now.

- I can't just... - Now. And just the two of us.

I'll take you there.

To my daughter.

It's your decision.

It's time.

I'll take him up, thanks.

I just have paracetamol.

That's my jacket.

- He wants to take me to his child. - Have you gone mad?

- He wants to get out. - I'm not mistaken this time.

I need a second chance now.

You can't...

I see things no one else does.

You said so yourself.

It's not enough.

GPS TRACKING ACTIVE

Put this on.

Finished already?

Mr Teubert is driving me home.

We'll go out through the back.

As you wish.

- What is it? - Give me your mobile.

Don't be afraid.

No.

I trust you.

You...

have all the reason to.

Strange how we deal with the same pain in such different ways.

But at least we're no longer alone with it now.

- Bye. - Excuse me.

I thought you left with Dr Eckhardt earlier.

I clearly didn't.

Have a good evening.

I don't usually follow mobile thieves.

It'll cost you.

Hey, relax.

It's just your mobile that was stolen.

So you can buy a new one.

What's up with you?

Niklas.

Whom are we really following?

Dr Eckhardt.

And Spanger.

What? Have you lost your mind?

- She wants to save his child. - You let Eckhardt go with him?

Eckhardt is not quite right in the head.

He'll kill her.

Fuck.

- HQ, come in. - HQ, copy.

My work mobile. Sorry, I forgot.

You're lying.

- Give it here! - Stop it!

Stop it...

I'm sorry.

That was all.

That was all.

Ahead on the right.

Here.

PRIVATE ROAD NO PASSING THROUGH

Come along.

Up here.

200 metres.

There.

There. Go!

- Fuck. - Shit.

On the Danube.

Water.

What water?

Water.

They're...

They're close to the water.

Come. Come on!

We're here.

What's her name?

Elisa.

ENTRY FOR UNAUTHORIZED PERSONS OFFICIALLY PROHIBITED

The teams are on their way. Have you found the vehicle?

Not yet.

Up there. The next turn leads to the river.

Shit. He probably dumped all his victims from there.

Where is she?

Elisa?

Elisa?

Elisa?

Let's take a look.

- What if she... - Let's take a look.

I can't.

Give me the key.

Give me the key.

Hello?

Hello?

Elisa? Hello?

Hello?

There's no one here.

At the back. Go further in.

Elisa?

Stay behind me.

Elisa?

Help me.

Help me.

Let me out.

Let me out.

Help me.

Help me. Let me out.

Help me.

Let me out.

Help me.

Oh my god.

Elisa.

Elisa.

Everything will be fine.

She's alive.

Come on, let's go home. Come on.

Elisa?

Dad.

Come.

Come here.

She needs water, Carsten.

Let's go, okay?

She needs to go to hospital.

You're a doctor.

That's not enough.

We'll stay together now. The three of us.

- No. - Forever.

You'll stay... here!

Give me the key.

Give me the key!

No.

Get down!

This must be it.

Go to the car and radio our location.

Or they'll never find us.

- But... - Go!

Go.

At some point... you have to stop lying to yourself.

You'll have to admit that you're keeping me against your will.

You're just playing happy families.

You can't force love.

You tried that often enough.

We're not alone.

You said so yourself before.

We're no longer alone.

Let's go.

Elisa.

Come. Come, let's go.

Yes. It's okay.

Come. Come.

Dad, no.

Leave.

Leave now.

No...

Carsten...

No, Carsten.

Hands up!

Put your hands in the air!

Hands up!

On your knees.

Show me your hands.

On your knees.

Slowly. Get down on your knees.

The Supreme Court

must decide, based on my psychiatric report

whether the defendant Carsten Spanger

can be held accountable.

The defendant clearly

created his own reality.

For this reason, I recommend

he be kept in detention as a certified insane offender.

After this expert opinion,

I wish to hear the testimony of a further witness.

Before we hear the witness,

I wish to point out

that Dr Eckhardt was taken off the case for good reason.

Noted.

Dr Eckhardt, please give us your opinion on the defendant's mental state.

With such severe personality disorders as we have here,

it is not possible to make a decision freely.

I knew he couldn't let us leave.

That's not how it was.

That's not how it was.

Dr Spanger, you may testify later.

Why are you lying? Why?

If you continue to interrupt the proceedings, I will have you removed.

Mr Spanger!

Order, please.

Order!

So you agree with Dr Lodenscheidt's report?

Can you confirm that verbally?

I believe that classifying Carsten Spanger

as certifiably insane is correct.

Thank you, Dr Eckhardt.

You may go.

In the name of the Republic of Austria, we have come to the following verdict.

The regional criminal court of Vienna

deems the defendant Carsten Spanger

as not being fully responsible for his actions.

As per paragraph 21, clause 1 of the Criminal Law,

the defendant will be detained

in a prison for the certifiably insane.

The verdict is hereby final.

Dr Eckhardt?

You risked your own life to save that child.

But now you've made sure a serial killer goes to your hospital for arts classes.

Do you consider that justice?

Are you coming?

I just need two minutes.

I didn't want to harm you.

I wanted you to leave.

The fact that you would've let us go means you're capable of making decisions.

And that should've meant prison.

You lied so we could be together?

Your narcissism runs very deeply.

But I think you can be cured.

And if not...

then I can make sure a lifelong sentence really means lifelong.

Tell Elisa I'm thinking of her.

And? What do you think?

Can I see yours?

Will you give it to my dad?

Yes.

I'll do the personality test with Ms Holts tomorrow.

And I need to look at Mr Hobmeier's potential for aggression again.

And if it's okay with you, I'd like to review Mr Kaul's drug therapy.

Go ahead.

- See you tomorrow. - Yes.

Oh, and...

good work, by the way.

Karli?

May I come in?

You're inside already.

Karli, let's not fight.

And if you want to talk,

then we can talk.

I'd like that.

But not here, right?

Come on, let's go.
