Allez. Allez.

Hey! Hey!

Stop!

Stop! - Ho, ho, ho!

Ho!

Not bad, the little one.

Dream On. This is Laura von Geyersberg.

The Count's sister.

By the way, your count has not been seen yet.

Forward.

Ho! Ho!

Ho.

I do not understand why our horses went through.

Well, now we have lost the others.

What's this?

My God.

That's Jürgen von Geyersberg.

How are you? Have a pleasant trip? Had worse.

So you got fresh air. I prefer the big city life.

Yes, okay, where is it? Over there.

Last Sunday the Geyersbergs,

a German noble family,

organized a hunt with dogs in this forest.

It's a tradition of theirs.

They invite the well-heeled and there's a big party on Saturday.

On Sunday they cross the border,

into their French hunting grounds.

Why here?

Hunting is banned in Germany,

so they come here to hunt.

The corpse was found over there.

When was it? Sunday breakfast.

Where was the Count on Saturday? When eating with the others.

Two Frenchmen found him, participants in the hunt.

Garbed and beheaded.

Really a mess.

Who are the two witnesses?

Manufacturer of electrical components. They belong to the Geyersberg Group.

Alibi at the time of death.

Apart from that, nobody has what is seen or heard? No.

The hunters were too much focused on slaughter.

The forensics has no fingerprints

still found other traces.

Laura?

You have just crosses the border.

You get the first from them visit, I think.

What's happening? Nothing, I'm just looking at you.

It's been a while. Uh-huh.

And since you never answer, I never know how you are.

I had problems. I know. Is that clear?

Not really, no.

Do we have something to motive? There is much possible.

Competitive battles, lust for power,

an ethically motivated attack ...

In what way? The animal rights activists occur here radically.

Because these nobles own huge forest areas,

just for hunting ...

Hey, Niemans, do you drive slower please?

The victim may be in trouble Animal rights activists have had

but that's why you I'm doubting the head cuts off.

I already have thought of a madman.

And I checked the clinics.

No layoffs, outbreaks or similar cases here.

That would be the first time.

What do our German friends have? According to the statement, nothing.

They do not want trouble with the imposters.

That's why they send us.

We bring the fine gentlemen on trot.

Hello?

Hello?

Damn it, Leo, you're really annoying.

Is this a new game? You call and say nothing?

I do not want to talk about it.

I do not ask that from you either.

I know, that you never ask for anything.

Brake off! This is our exit! Fine.

Where exactly do we want to go?

We catch the doctor to the family, Philipp Schüller.

He has the autopsy carried out in Stuttgart.

What shoud that? Why not a medical examiner?

The von Geyersberg have enforced their personal physician.

Schengen also applies to the dead.

Sure, of course.

Is Schüller real not in the goat cheese business?

He lives with others Scientists together.

Bonjour. We are from the French police.

I am Philipp Schüller. The car has to stop.

This is a nature reserve, Park there in front. Well.

We recruit the best researchers in Europe.

We even have a Nobel Prize. What exactly do you work on?

Biology, physics, genetics.

We are looking for solutions for environmental problems.

You are the personal physician Geyersberg's?

That's about the same, right?

It was just a joke. I have not practiced for a long time.

But I stand that from Geyersberg still close.

And then this boy to see mutilated.

Jürgen had one extraordinary future.

Beer'?

No thanks. Liquor?

Very friendly, Alright.

So, what exactly do you want to know?

I sent my report the French police.

You can not say anything to the cause of death?

He is well cut the throat,

but because of the beheading can not say that.

The killer slashed it and the innards removed.

Can you explain that? That's hunter know-how.

To release the gases, To the To prevent puffiness of the organs.

Especially with the stalking. What?

This is a hunting method.

You sneak up on the game and see if it is worthy.

You are allowed a male animal only succumb when it's healthy.

A defensive male, they say.

A deer with great antlers, a boar with big tusks.

That really has class.

That's not for me.

I hunt the game Lift with my dog.

Incidentally, I'm an expert for hunting dog breeds.

The Count of Geyersberg was

with an oak branch found in the mouth.

That's the custom the last bite, right? Yes.

He symbolizes the last meal before death.

Are the missing organs also symbols?

No, another rule of stalking. They buried them.

Are you burying them? What is that supposed to mean?

Well, you have them not far from him.

Have not you yet with yours Colleagues contacted?

I call those in Strasbourg again.

No, that does not help. We only disturb them.

Let's hope the Germans are cooperative. What is up now?

Jürgens sister, Laura von Geyersberg, 35 years old.

Since the death of the parents She leads the group with him.

Then maybe there was Rivalries between them?

Perhaps. Or she is the next one.

And the rest of the family?

You mean the older generation? Three brothers.

Kurt, the father of Jürgen and Laura, died of cancer,

after the suicide of his wife.

Dieter, died young, has two sons.

And Frantz. Is still alive. Has neither wife nor offspring.

The von Geyersberg Everyone lives here in the area.

The Countess herself Weaves deposited in the cabin.

Gentlemen. Day.

Everything was.

Bonjour. Laura von Geyersberg.

Commissaire Niemans, Lieutenant Delaunay.

I phoned you this afternoon, Ah.

The Villa de vein.

My great-grandfather was a big Bauhaus admirer.

He has her in the 20s let build extra.

What do you want to know?

I already have all the questions answered. Except for mine.

I'm so sorry. No, you are not sorry.

I do my work, that does not exclude compassion.

When do you have Jürgen? last seen?

Like everyone else. Saturday noon.

He has to eat just stopped by.

He has such social Hated events.

And then you have nothing left heard of him? Nothing.

Did not you worry that?

He disappeared more often, but never more than a day.

And I knew, he would come to the hunt.

He would have missed nothing in the world.

Was there someone in his private life?

You have his heard outlandish inclinations,

but only because Jürgen now and then

SM clubs in Stuttgart,

you do not behead him.

In contrast, what you stand for,

this is a rather harmless environment.

And you?

Give yourself too unusual inclinations?

You realize, that you are not from here.

It's been a long time for someone so bluntly spoke to me.

That does not answer my question.

Then no. I do not go to such clubs.

I prefer classic.

Hard Jürgen enemies?

Our family is billions.

This triggers envy, rivalries and other aggressive behaviors.

Was he filmed threatened?

Not that I know of.

Since neither you nor Jürgen Children have, who would inherit,

if something happened to you?

The company could be in my hands Cousins ​​fall, Ludwig and Max.

I would be surprised.

They only have girls in their heads, And the hunt.

A full time job.

And your uncle Frantz?

Uncle Frantz? He is a hermit.

Experienced alone in his castle

and never has cared for the group.

Where were you at night from Saturday to Sunday?

I am suspected?

I have to ask.

And? Where were you in the night to Sunday?

I was here.

Alone?

No. I was with one my manager here.

Did he say his name, before he left again?

The good all French arrogance.

We say, He was the most attractive of them all.

pleas e ask your question Your French colleagues.

That was the first what they have checked.

Each of our rifles is a unique piece.

Are you a hunter?

That depends on the prey.

Are you fine? understood with Jürgen?

We were like twins.

The same feelings, the same thoughts in the same moment.

With a very strict father and a depressive mother

we were a heart and a soul.

With Jürgens death I have

I lost everything.

What's up with the staging? of his death?

Do you mean the stalk? Uh-huh.

I dont know.

The practice not from Geyersberg.

We always have the hunt or the hunt was preferred.

The von Geyersberg need a minimum of pomp.

Ah. Her German colleague arrived.

Criminal Chief Commissioner Nikolas Little ones from the state police.

Commissaire Niemans, Lieutenant Delaunay.

When did you want us? because inform?

Next, we have just arrived.

Do not fool me.

You hear Countess Laura from Geyersberg and Dr. med. Schüller.

Uh-huh. News is coming here faster than investigations.

They are in my territory. Here everything is under my control.

Yes, but nobody controls me.

Anyway, They are unfortunately late.

We have the culprit. Thomas Krauss, Anti-hunting activist.

He already confessed.

Are we interrogating him? Morning. Together.

In the main commissariat. Why tomorrow?

We have action

for a psychiatric report met.

Medical order. What is his motive?

He says the murder is a humanitarian act.

That he would piss on his grave, if he were free.

Is that enough for you as a motive? No, too easy.

We say nothing to the Countess.

The Attorney General informs her.

Understand. I do not want stir up too much dust.

Does not bother you the muzzle in your investigation? Hm'?

They are under the OCCS.

What is this exactly? A new department.

To make unusual murders to support.

We are basically there, to wake you up.

In the meantime, I expect by tomorrow your reports.

Which reports?

The interviews with Schüller and Geyersberg.

Interrogations on German soil

my office needs validate, rule.

Are you actually sometimes nice, too, Niemans?

Tell me, why.

In any case, the one eye thrown at you.

That's rubbish, Ah yes?

And? How was the first meeting?

Stiff.

Do you know why the firefighters

the Reichstag 1933 did burn hate?

No, Because on the signs said:

Enter the lawn prohibited.

I had your room prepared.

Tradition in our family. Hospitality.

I invited my cousins ​​to dinner.

So you can interview them in peace, without having to go somewhere.

Laura?

Well done, my love.

A really clever idea.

Yes.

So then. Until tomorrow.

Has Kleinert the news proclaims? You know?

No verve moves here, without me knowing.

Does not it bother you to quote a dictator?

As long as I did not interrogate him, Krauss remains a suspect.

He confessed, right? Confessions are worthless.

Do you know him?

He is an enemy of the family, but I do not see him as a murderer.

Nevertheless, he accuses himself.

He probably likes to play the martyr.

Krauss loathes hunters. Unfortunately, he did not understand anything.

The hunt takes care of us nature for a balance.

Life is based on blood and on death.

No thanks.

That's why there are manners.

As in love, right?

Ah, there's the family.

If Krauss did that, we will take care of him.

I beg your pardon?

A pig, that attacks our family

is killed.

Some wine, commissaire? No, thanks, no.

I drink too much and hear such nonsense,

I lose control.

This is our country.

Here we can 'Tere as humans hunt.

We do not live in the Middle Ages anymore.

The time, as landlords The laws are over.

Today we have tribunals.

Max is just fun. Nobody here is above the law.

Another deer? No.

I have killed it myself.

Lieutenant? Do you like something deer?

No. I prefer animals, if they are still alive.

We have been for generations passionate hunters.

My brother thinks that we are Otherwise we will regulate our own affairs.

Which you certainly too can understand, right?

Policemen are also hunters.

Yes, only with us can defend the loot.

My brother has do not get that chance.

For today we have heard enough nonsense, hrn? Yes.

Check anyway tomorrow morning their alibis. Are you tired?

No.

Then check the Geyersberg Group.

Structure, annual reports, Board, Shareholders,

Which role the two cousins ​​play.

Laura can tell us, that she loved her brother ...

Laura? You call her by her first name?

She is not my type, too classic.

I prefer cheeky, little redhead.

Then the redhead will ma! check the counts. And you?

I'll get a little closer to deal with the stalking.

Is this okay? Uh-huh.

The stalker is responsible for the prey.

He has the duty to Hege and protects the environment of the animals.

The hunter is allowed only to kill the strongest male animal.

To kill young or old game, has nothing to do with the stalking.

We train our dogs to recognize the right booty.

Do you hear him?

He came to kill you.

I know who you are. I saw through you.

Do you think so, I can not fight back?

I trained him on it to kill you.

He gets you, before you attack me, brother.

Lanza is mine. He will come to kill you.

Lanza.

Lanza. He will kill you.

What happened?

Are you hurt? They have blood on their faces.

That's from the dog. From the dog.

What are you doing here middle of the night?

I'm here still on my property.

There is! a place where my brother and I liked to go.

I wanted to be close to him.

Is this your dog?

No.

He had paramilitary clothing on. With a kind of cap.

And a hood. Or a mask, I do not know it either.

Are you serious?

Sure, the dog You wanted to attack?

Oh no, he just wanted to play a bit.

You know, where did the countess go? No.

She went back to the house, pretty much taken.

Yes. The methods of the French She is not used to police.

He has a label. I do not know the breed.

Schüller should be him take a look. How so?

He identifies the breed. He is an expert in hunting dogs.

The mutt was not from here. We have to have the park monitored.

To make it clear again to say, commissaire.

I give the instructions here.

I do not care, as long as it is the same ones are like mine.

In the hunt drive the dogs corner the animal.

Is this a new game? the murderer? Perhaps.

A new ritual, definitely for Laura.

It's definitely here for revenge, Camille.

And the culprit uses it the rituals of stalking.

Maybe the Geyersberg involved in a hunting accident.

Niemans? Yes?

You have the carcass not looked at all.

Do you have a problem with dogs?

Well. I'm more of a cat type.

Hello. Unfortunately, we did not go sooner.

Yes, of course. I call back.

Yes I understand. I'll check it out. - All right.

Camille not present? I'm sorry.

You have to with my charm put up with. Where is the beast?

In the cell. He did not say another word.

All the better. He saves it up.

I give you ten minutes with him. In my presence.

Ah. A coffee?

I'm already late, but I like to take a croissant.

Naturally.

Say, there was a hunting accident

in which your family was involved?

No, as far as I know, not.

There are always a few guests who shoot wild,

but together with Jürgen we had everything is always under control.

He has great talent ...

I just realized that I am alone now.

I have not ma! Children.

You. Do you have children, Lieutenant?

Are you married? No. I'm not married.

Excuse me.

Will I really be there? have to endure all day?

A precaution. I can defend myself.

I am sure about that.

Okay, we are here to officially to record your confession.

You tell us yours now History, we write it down,

then you sign and get life-long, okay?

I did it. I killed him.

As?

I surprised him in the wall.

Was he walking, was he riding? On foot.

Did you hunt him? No.

I was there, to stop the hunt.

Sure, of course.

With dogs and armed riders, Are you kidding me?

If you think you can move mountains.

Yes exactly.

How did you kill him?

Come on. Tell me. I have his throat cut.

Then cut off the head and gutted him.

Well fine. The tool did you have it? Uh-huh.

I had knives, a machete. I threw everything in the river.

To do that, you have to be a specialist.

Save stupid stuff, what are you doing? Butcher? Doctor?

And the oak branch in the mouth?

That's what you do with killed animals.

Not in the hunt. Why the stalk?

You have to respect your enemy. So you call that?

That's what they say the stalkers. Or'?

Yes. A plus point for you.

Where are you with the bowels?

Hm? I threw in the water.

Yes? And the clothing? burned.

Hm.

And then you had of course, a motive?

I avenged nature.

This perverted family is one Insult of God. Of the universe.

As they hunt, they also treat people.

The world is going to be because of this kind of scum.

He's lying, everything was in the newspapers,

except for the buried entrails.

Because of him, we lost time, I'm sorry.

He fooled us. Now we start at zero.

No, not at zero, little ones, at three. You, me, Camille.

Thank you for taking me to have the interrogation done.

You have one write another report.

Ah. Straight is number three arrived.

I organize the relocation of Krauss. I'll be right back.

The archives of newspapers and hunting clubs I'm through,

German and French.

No hunting accident of Geyersberg in the last 20 years.

Krauss? A spinner. Everything just dizziness.

Camille.

Could you sleep a bit? A few hours, yes. Thank you.

Uh, this way, please.

We exclude Krauss, he makes himself important.

As someone said,Good intentions give away bad suspects.

I would have put it another way, but I agree. So?

Classic: Who benefits from the crime?

The two cousins? No. They celebrated for a long time.

They would not take the lead take over the group.

And Uncle Frantz? Is he also orgies?

They do not all have them anymore.

Frantz of Geyersberg sits in a wheelchair.

He is also interested not for the group.

The legs, well, We do not know anything about the rest.

The hunt, the stalking,

the dog with the Countess, the hunting rituals at Jürgen.

We always come back for a hunt.

We should do the rituals not so important.

It could be a nod to be on the professional methods.

They are hated employers.

A frustrated employee would

his boss do not knock off your head.

The motive is rather in the past.

What do we have to the cap and the hood of the guy?

So far nothing.

Yes?

Okay, we'll come.

Can he also say where he goes?

No, he can not.

I did not have to wait long search. That's a Roetken.

The breed is gone from Europe. A dark chapter.

She was after eradicated the Second World War.

Yes, the proof. Liquor?

Be brief, Professor.

Have you ever heard of theblack hunters?

The special unitDirlewanger? Exactly.

What's this? Himmler left Prisoners free.

He set up a special unit.

I have in our library found a few books about it.

These guys are not chosen at random.

They were all poachers, so hunter.

True experts in to follow their prey.

Shark the guy with the dog worn such a mask?

Yes.

You have four years under the direction

served by Oskar Dirlewanger.

They monitored the Jews who worked on the Eastern Front,

hunted Belorussian partisans in the woods,

tens of thousands of civilians murdered and raped.

Bad, but we need no history course.

Where is the connection? Well, right there.

These were all experienced hunters.

The first thing they did when they arrived in Belarus,

was, a local dog breed to prepare, the Roetken.

They turned the hounds in deadly weapons.

Animals killed for killing.

Able to be a victim to one Sign out the throat to rip.

As the Allies they turned off,

they killed all Roetken.

You never saw again one of these dogs in Europe.

Are there old Nazis, who are rising from their graves

and walk around with ghost dogs?

I know that's hard to believe, but you see ...

Pardon.

This dog carries the sign the special unit of Dirlewanger.

Rumor has it he was killed.

Or he is to Syria or fled Egypt.

Another version says, he would have hid here.

In Baden-Wurttemberg. In fact under the protection of Geyersberg.

Why should those from Geyersberg do that?

A German industrial family,

during the war was very close to the Nazis.

Ah.

Commissioner,

Somebody came to my mind that could help you.

Werner Raus? The guy is completely crazy.

He is the best dog breeder far and wide.

If the Roetken were imported, he knew it.

What do I do with the dog now?

Slap it fresh, he is a piece of evidence.

The dog breed of Reus is 20 Kilometers away. Come with me?

Camille will drive with you. I still have something to do.

Where do you want to go?

I'll ask the ancestors.

Ts.

Work long with Niemans?

A few months.

But he was my instructor at the police school.

Niemans Training '? I can not imagine that.

He was perfect.

He led special forces,

then he became injured in a mission.

He is thereupon Become an instructor.

He would be in a leadership position can return.

Let's say he had problems with the superiors.

Oh really.

Do not be fooled deceive. He is the best.

What connects you to him?

Hello?

Hello?

This is not my friend if you ask.

I did not intend to do that.

Sorry my fault.

Now you know, that I am free as a bird.

Well, unfortunately not me. I have a wife and two children.

Married at 22. The brave small officials from the province.

I have your wedding ring seen.

I hope it's you at Villa de Verre.

It's perfect. The Countess is a great hostess.

I really like Laura. She is like a daughter to me.

Do you have the same thing for Jürgen felt? Hm.

He was more moody.

But I also like him very much.

Well, the two were inseparable.

They held together against my brother Kurt.

What do you mean? Well.

Kurt was extremely strict with you.

He wanted to harden her. He was especially hard on Laura.

Why? Did not he like her? But on the contrary.

She was a girl. She had to prove more than anyone else.

Nevertheless, he left them the common line.

You are misinformed.

Jürgen was the sole successor,

but he had Never drop Laura.

He has put her at his side.

And why not you?

No.

I've never had Enjoy the business.

I rather dislike it.

To be honest, I think nothing at all.

Go on, go.

Geyersberg's are all hunters, Not you. Why not?

That's not my idea from the relationship to nature.

I was a hunter once. That's the result.

I was young.

Kurt was then not the best shooter yet,

as the world knew him.

Or on the contrary, he was already.

What are you trying to say?

That your brother You intentionally injured?

What are you doing here? Are you questioning my uncle?

This is a friendly conversation.

A simple conversation.

It is rare for a visitor is at eye level with me.

If I am mine allow this pun.

What are you still looking for? The murderer of your brother.

Do not bother yourself, sweetheart.

You have to go to the house. You will catch a cold.

I thought you had the perpetrator in custody.

You were right, Krauss is not capable of that.

I think that's it is an act of revenge.

The one with a hunting story has to do.

And you interrogate a man

who already ranked his life sitting in a wheelchair?

He was there, to tell me about his accident.

Happened to you yes strange things. Hm.

Come with me.

Your breeder has it not exactly with hygiene.

Werner lets go of the dogs, when the veterinary office comes by.

Hello Werner.

Ah. So you are to blame at the whole Radau here.

Lieutenant Camille Delaunay. From the French police.

A female. This is not good for my babies.

That irritates her.

Do you have five minutes for us?

Why? Yesterday night dived at the Countess Roetken on.

Absolutely impossible. There are in Europe none since the last war.

And this breed is bred here again?

I breed Dogs for more than 40 years.

I know about every puppy, who is born.

I tell you, There are no Roetken here.

The dog is dead and is with Schüller.

Quiet here!

Shut up, damn it still maH

Come on, come with me. Your smell drives you crazy.

You do not have it your days, right?

Goddamn, And?

There is such a story, Cheek. So to the 20 years.

The only time I come here from Roetken heard. Get out of it.

Roma settled down here.

In a forest of Geyersberg.

The count sent Guys with dogs Wos.

Which one? Kurt, Frantz or Dieter? Kurt.

Dieter did not live anymore.

Frantz has always kept out. Tell me.

I do not know exactly, what happened then.

But a girl was attacked, From the Roetken?

From the Mutt, who were trained to kill.

As they say?

As the Lord, so seen.

Go on, go now. I still have something to do.

These Roma, are the still in the area?

Look for it, then you know more.

Otto von Geyersberg.

He had the beginning of the century huge lands here.

He made whole villages equal to the ground,

to expand his forest, shall mean his hunting ground.

The great Karl. Very close to the Nazis.

He should be hunting with Jews organized as game.

Sympathetic, right?

Voila, Kurt.

My dear dad. Always with a smile on his face.

He did not hesitate to strike in allow our companies to shoot.

As for revenge motives, you are spoiled for choice.

Half the region hates us. The other half fears us.

No one is at our graves Shed tears.

Tell you the black hunters anything?

These are legends.

We have been held for generations these old rumors before.

My father hid them

and you incorporated in his factories.

That's complete nonsense.

The dog that was hounded on us, was a Roetken.

A breed, that these hunters were dressing.

He did not attack me. He She was there for you, you know that.

So, you hunt phantoms, that's all?

The danger is real, Laura, I am not joking.

Find the killer, Niemans.

And be so nice and bothering You no longer my uncle.
