Endstation Hallstatt

[...this propaganda on my car...] ~don't get upset~

Yes what was that ~Excuse me ...Marios Unmack how do I get there?~

You go in and the hallway and up you will see it then

How are the vocal cords? ~Everything is a lot better Doctor~

Want to listen? ~Yes please~

♫

Yes strange, very strange

A man comes in with a flesh-wound in his thigh for admission ,not much blood since he is in a state of shock...we go here...

We had had too much to do

Two coronaries ,a stomach rupture oh well

In any case ,the man lost his patience in half an hour

And ran away angry

It is really a captivating story

But I don’t know... ~Just a moment~

He came back after operating on himself

Operated how on himself?

He had a bullet in his thigh

In the beginning he didn't even tell us that fact

In any case

He tried to dig it out with pocket knife himself

However, he did not succeed

He came back remorsefully

It was difficult to repair the massacre

The man apparently has no interest in finding the perpetrator

That’s right

I assume so too

Can I see the man

Mr Assigal is in room 3

Thanks

Your welcome

I just say it one more time slowly so you can take notes

I went around 10PM

And got shot at near the Emperor villa

It was already dark

I don’t know who was shooting

Or from what direction it came

And I don’t know why

I understand

So you gave it no further thoughts

Well yes...I said to myself...now think hard

Nothing happened

Edmund...Assigal

Born in Linz...In Linz it starts

What are you doing in Bad Ischl Mr Assigal

I am here since the day before yesterday...as a tourist

I live in Belgium and work as a DJ

D...what?

DJ...Disc Jockey ~Disc Jockey ah~

Can I sleep now please

Why did you try to take out the bullet yourself?

They let me wait too long

I get angry quickly

Now leave me alone I’m in pain

All right

Edmund Assigal born 26 April in Linz ~Hello!~

Hello, can you come here please?

Can you please be so nice...

Should I get a nurse?

There is a bread in there...

But you have to give it to me in small pieces

I don’t have long to live

A few days at most ...

You can't deny me this request

You are a good person

No, enough already

Thank god

Good luck

Yes yes

Goodbye

Look at that...What is this?

I think I will really die now

Who's camera is this? ~I am sick~

Who's?

The next door neighbour the one who caught the bullet ...I got it

All right...Goodbye

Get well soon ~Thank you~

Rabid dog ~What?~

With mysterious cases like this you often wander in circles

But it’s alway the same reasons...greed

Deceived love , revenge

Sometimes it makes you fed up of mankind

Yes

This moment we have no perpetrator or trace....nothing

Assigal won’t talk either

But you told me about a tattoo on the upper arm of this man?~Yes yes~

Ex-convict?~No~

A sailor? Tightrope walker ?

Artist? Ah yes...artists

Artists?

Maybe he was from the foreign legion?

Foreign Legion?

To get to the shore of the useful...

You have to cross the ocean of the useless

Not bad

Do you think that’s why I have to newly arrange the files 72 to 82

Lets go...

Goodbye

Edmund Assigal?

And...satisfied?

Well...~This is in Hallstatt~

This is in Hallstatt

Yes In Hallstatt in the bone ossuary

This is where my wife comes from

What...from the ossuary? ~No from Hallstatt~

Unrivalled is the view from Hallstatt

One approaches the Salt Mine City over the lake

Hallstatt

Edmund Assigal

Hello

Hello good sir what do you want?

My name is Stockinger I need information

Not now ,moving bones requires me to be alone but afterwards I have time.

Good...later

Hello sweetheart ,its Me

In Hallstatt at the cemetery

What I wanted to ask you ...how is it with the undertakers?

I’m sure you learned about that in local history

That’s true , we often heard about that

Is that Stocki?

By rule the dead can only stay for 10 yrs in a grave because the cemetery is too small

Where is he now?~Hallstatt~ Ah

When the ten yrs are up the body gets dug up

And then the skeleton...I mean bones go to the charnel house

The skull is named and painted

And those are displayed in the visitor room

Well honey , now I know my way around

And tell Michael not to forget to brush after a meal

Yes...good...bye

You don't just paint skulls I see

The parents of Assigal had a small pub

They only had a few joch (medieval area measurement) Today it is the bypass road

Say... was this Edmund at the foreign legion?

When he was 20 he robbed a gas-station They said he fled abroad

Well his sister inherited the estate right after her marriage to....

Mr Kienast

They sold all the grounds to the road works

With all that money they bought a nice hotel here in Hallstatt

It still exist today?

Zur Post

They are in the meantime the richest folks in town

He is even executive of the ice cave society

Ice cave society...look at that

Cheers

First...someone has interest in making a fake dead Assigal into a real dead Assigal

Second

Through the sale of the property to road works the estate was increased dramatically

Third

Because of his untraceability through his inheritance

To make inheritance possible for his sister they faked his death

And a fake corpse was buried

Fourth

Assigals sudden appearance is connected to the 20 yr statue of limitation of the robbery

The dead is alive

The end

He ran

He said "Screw everyone"and he got out of here

♫

Hello

I’m looking for Mr Kienast this is his hotel right?

Yes

Where is he?

The boss is in the dining area

Right at the reception ~Reception turn right~

Thanks

Yes

With your permission

Please

Every teacher is welcome

Are you vacationing in Hallstatt?

Criminal Police?

County Police Command Salzburg

This is about your brother in law Mr Kienast

Why?

I don’t have a brother in law

Edmund Assigal is a nobody?

Ah Edmund

Edmund is already dead for 12 yrs

I believe your’e talking about the copycat from the legionnaire

But we better talk upstairs about that

This is more a theme for my wife

Edmund is not dead?

That is ...

Like a ghost that just went through me

That must be the ghost of someone else then Mrs Kienast

How did it happen with his death

I remember he died in Africa from a tropical disease

Since it is not usual that legionnaires get buried at home

But it was his express wish

Where were you yesterday between 9PM and 11Pm Mr Kienast

Why that question?

Edmund Assigal was shot yesterday around 10PM in Bad Ischl

Shot at? Is he dead?

You said he is alive? ~Shot at ,not shot dead~

I was here

All evening at home

My wife can confirm

We don’t have much work evenings in the hotel

You travelled a lot Mr Kienast

I sold bakery equipment

All the way to Africa?

To Morocco and Tunisia

I only gave up the firm three years ago after we already had the hotel

Maybe Maybe Maybe... Kienast met Assigal in Africa

Kienast was sales person for baking equipment

Assigal was a soldier at the foreign legion

Assigal has a sister with inheritance Kienast makes a good par...

Partie partie partie partie...

Bad Ischl

Aha What? Mr Kienast is the only name on the land register of the hotel?

Okay

Thanks Mrs Baumgartner

I thought the money came from his wife from the inheritance~Thats right~

Sometimes love is blind

She probably didn’t notice that the money came from her

Kienast is a typical opportunist ,cold unfeeling Talks like a book and leaves all the work to his wife

Men

(Corpus Christi procession in Hallstatt)

Think logical Stockinger.. dead is only way to leave the foreign legion

Well what is going on with the stickers?

Maybe he deserted? And the foreign legion sent a killer after him

Interesting theory but I thought you had something on the stickers?

The action is happening next Sunday and is determined by the police and the stickers...

They were put up In Bad Ischl between 9 and 11 o'clock

But now I have to run. I need to buy a videocassette for tonight

It is an exciting thriller named "The man in the background"

It is very interesting...you should also watch it Stocki

I will

See you later Michael

He is slowly becoming odd

Karin? ~Yes?~

There is an undertaker in Hallstatt that paints amazing pictures

You should look at it sometimes

Now would be convenient

How long will it take? ~20 min half an hour at the most~

Sweetheart

What about the sticker now?

The sticker doesn’t prove anything

Mr Kienast

If you were at the local time in Bad Ischl you better let me know now

Oh well right enough

I was in Ischl

I was with a woman in Ischl

Oh I see ...with a woman

Why didn’t you tell me that the first time around?

Or are you so ashamed to hide a lover?

And to your wife covering for that nonsense

Without my Lawyer I won’t say anything anymore

This smart man would advise you,that hiding the visit in Bad Ischl looks suspicious in the shooting Mr Assigal

Right

That’s why I didn't say anything ~See?~

Whoops...

How did that happen?

Oh my... its always with these tight entrances

Oh Yes I still need the address of the woman in Bad Ischl

Please!

You can understand

A cavalier enjoys and is silent

Ah ..

But a cavalier enjoys and is sitting in prison , doesn’t sound so good.

So...

You cavalier... your wife is your alibi

If you think so... ~yes I think so~

Her name is Zirngast

Rosa Zirngast

Well, that works

Good day ~good day~

I would like...

to talk to Mrs Zirngast

She is just getting the plates ready for the wedding reception

Mrs Zirngast?

Yes? ~Good Day~Good day

Stockinger

County Police Command Salzburg

What do you want from me?

What do I want...

Information

Was Kienast with you three days ago?

Yes

What time?

Between 9 and 11

I was in my apartment

9 and 11

Are you sure?

Yes I am very sure

Mrs Zirngast? ~He was with me~

Do you know why I’m asking you that?

Say ,how long have You and Mr Kienast been "friends"?

Since ...three...three and a half years

The divorce is filed

And you believe him?

Why?

Did he tell you something else?

Good bye

I have the feeling Mrs Zirngast is not telling the truth

Probably Mr Kienast promised her to divorce his wife As a quid pro quo for the aliby

Excuse Me could you take a photo of me ~Just a moment~

Yes Stockinger ~Here is Mrs Kienast

I would like to talk to you

Uninterrupted...

No I can’t say on the phone

Lets meet somewhere

Okay lets meet

Where?

Lets say Cafe Standseilbahn half past four

That's the best place. My husband will definitely not show up there

It's allright Mrs Kienast half past four Standseilbahn

Well I'll see you then.Goodbye

I made the false statement just because...

My man promised that he will end it with the woman from Ischl

But the woman in Ischl is lying because she believes your husband will divorce you

Oh Yes?

You believe he will do that?

You are asking the wrong one Mrs Kienast

Did your husband withdraw the divorce ?

Yes

This harlot knows that now

I don't understand one thing ,why are you testifying against your husband

Believe Me ,how that got me down

I couldn’t sleep anymore

I can no longer lie

Waiter...A small brown coffee

Hello Inspector

Assigal ,nice to see your face again

I won't ask you where you're coming from and where you were

Seems to be your speciality ...disappearing Showing up ,disappearing

I was scared that he would finally kill me

Yesterday night he ran me down with the car

Here in Hallstatt

I believe you still don’t know who it was

No but

I remembered something

As I was shot at in Ischl

A few streets further a car came towards me

With a licence plate named Kien1

Exactly the same car tries to run me over

Again Kien1

I don't know why he is trying to kill me already the second time

I need to find him please help me

Yes... say...Do you have any relatives here Mr Assigal?

Yes a sister,I hope I can find her here somewhere

Already five?

Was that all? ~As far as I'm concerned yes~

Listen Mr Assigal

You are staying in Hallstatt ~Yes yes~

And where If I may ask

In Hotel Simone ,today and tomorrow only

Simone today and tomorrow all right

Thanks

So long

Look at that Mrs Kienast and her brother

First , the plate Kien1 clearly shows that Kienast is behind the assassination attempt

Second , Assigal's reappearance is no coincidence

Third ,Assigal already found his sister

Why is he making a secret of it

End

Excuse Me is Mr Kienast here? ~No~

Not hmmm

When is he back?

I don’t know

Don’t know...

All right

I will wait

Good evening Mrs Kienast

Why are you...

What are you doing here?

I’m waiting for your husband

He should be home,I don’t know

All right

Call Me when he is back

It’s important

Thanks

Yes

The first giant ice caves where discovered in 1909 ~1910

They count towards the biggest tourist attraction of the Alps

The Ice caves get around Two hundred thousand visitors a year

That this cave actually has ice...

Help Help.. someone is laying there

Stocking What’s up

Where?

Okay I'll be right there

Good day Stockinger ~This way~

Mr Inspector ,I work here. Come with me.

Believe Me inspector ,it is quite embarrassing

Buschel Konrad is my name

Here ...is my card

Anything I can do for you

And?

The shot went straight through the heart

When?

No idea...yesterday evening , this morning

The man was on ice ... he is frozen solid

It makes any time determination useless

Maybe this will help? The watch is broken but it shows five on it

The shot was immediately deadly

He fell on the ice with full force

The watch stands still

We have time of death five o'clock

You gotta have luck

Say

Mr Buschel , why was Mr Kienast here?

He wanted to mark the places where we needed extra lights

Listen I am only human

First you tell me Herbert was murdered and now you accuse me

I’m sorry but you have a motive

No but I love Herbert

You didn't know that he already withdrew the divorce

No not really

You are lying Mrs Zirngast

No ~Mrs Zirngast~

Look at me

You know it

Yes I know

Where were you yesterday at five...before ...after

Mrs Zirngast

Where were you?

Herbert sent me a fax that I should come to the Firnbach Mill between four and half past four

I thought

He would tell me everything is okay because we love each other but he wasn't there

Where is the fax?

I destroyed that

In the last part he asked me to destroy it so it doesn’t fall into wrong hands

Who can believe that Mrs Zirngast

But it's the truth.Herbert often faxed me something suddenly

Sometimes something sweet

Mrs Kienast and Mr Assigal were at the time in Hallstatt Witness...Inspector Stockinger

Zirngast the girlfriend of the murder victim has no aliby

She has a motive...the betrayed lover

The story of the fax sounds strange

Either it is the most stupid lie on earth or the truth

I’m on my way to the ice cave

Maybe I missed something

Greetings Mr Buschel ...Stockinger Yes that's right the Inspector

When did Mr Kienast go to the ice cave?

Ah yes , No thanks that's all

Five o'clock

You have to be lucky

Good day Buschel ,Stockinger good enough already I’m not a Inspector

Who is responsible for the entrance tickets?

Now pay attention

What happens if I don’t come with you?

You don't even have an arrest warrant

Please Mr Assigal

This is an escort

I thought nothing should happen to us on our little trip

After you

I know now why you didn’t tell me in the hospital who shot you

You already had the plan back then to kill your brother in law

But in prison Mr Kienast would be useless

You and your sister

The hotel would still belong to him That's why your sister gave him a false alibi

What nonsense,I haven’t seen my sister for 20 yrs

Ah so

What was yesterday in Hallstatt?

What?

Why Hallstatt?

I saw you together

You and your sister

Ah so?

And to make Mrs Zirngast look guilty ,you sent her a fax

She should come over at the time of the murder

You’re claiming that I murdered my brother in law?

Your'e going to laugh Mr Assigal but that’s what I’m doing

After the statute of limitations of gas station story has run out you came back to Hallstatt

To get your part of the inheritance

Unfortunately Kienast has already stolen everything

So you and your sister had the idea to just get rid of him

Your sister gets back her money

She gets rid of a cheating husband

And you would get your inheritance paid out

Everyone would be happy

Except Mr Kienast naturally

You are confusing things here Inspector

Kienast wanted to kill me

Yes

Because he found out your plans

That’s why he wanted to kill you

Certainly he was not as successful as you

Nice story

But what about evidence?

What do you want with this people

Please Mr Buschel ~Ah.. yes~

Mr Kienast left the office at half past three

About 10 min later he stepped into the ice cave

He planned on marking the spots for extra lights

Thank you Mr Buschel

All the way here there are red crosses marked in certain distances

Marking that Mr Kienast made

From the entrance of the cave until up there

He didn't get further

To be exact until that place down there

Kienast

Kienast

Hey Assigal , what are you doing here?

What do you think? Idiot

Are you crazy?

We can fix everything

You can’t just kill me

But you can kill me

Don’t do it

Because...because you will lose everything

Me?

It was a nice thought to set the clock forward

Then meet me shortly before five in Hallstatt

Purely coincidental of course

A better alibi like me you could never find

But how do we say here...

Time is a most precious possession

Mr Kienast came to the cave at shortly half past three

If time of murder was really five o'clock

Then the markings would have gone further into the cave

So?

How do you prove that Mr Kienast wasn’t shot at five?

You don't even know it was me

Mr Assigal

This entrance ticket for the ice cave

With date

And time stamp that I found in your hotel room

That’s not mine

Just between us ...I burned the entrance ticket for safety's sake

Just between us

Now it is your entrance ticket

It has your fingerprints on it

A very unusual method to bring a murderer to justice

It also is an unusual murder

But he confessed

And what happened to the entrance ticket?

What entrance ticket? ~Stockinger Stockinger~

You are richer in imagination than...

That American detective , the one on TV...

You think so?

The human

is in his complexities often...unfathomable
