Deadly Tracks

You know what a real luxury is?

Simply to disappear

Nobody knows where you are

Neither the supervisory board

Or your secretary

You sit up here

The wind outside

The fire

And nothing else

Nothing else

In reality everything continues

In my clinic, in your supervisory board where important things happen

In Herbert's meat factory

The pigs still get cut into two halves

If they want it or not ~If they want it or not~

Everything continues, everything goes on its way

Also at the savings bank in town

Waldi

You've said funnier things before

Oh, did I ~Yes~

Maybe I did

Whats going on?

Something wrong?

No no

Everything is all right

Waldi waldi waldi, we know you already all of our lives

You can't fool us

In the Bank

What is in the Bank?

Nothing special

Only, next week...

A surprise revision is announced

And?

Dear lord, Waldi you’re not saying that...

I did not say it

That they find something

What are you saying?

Yes I also wanted to... like you guys

Don’t look at me like that

How many?

About nine hundred thousand shillings

Around the annual balance sheet I would have had everything back

Nine hundred thousand shillings?

Where did you get that money?

Say you didn’t...

Oh yes

Are you nuts Waldi?

You stole nine hundred thousand shillings

Australian zero bonds, it was a surefire tip

Nobody could recognize... ~Nine hundred thousand shillings on one bill?~

Because of a ridiculous nine hundred thousand shillings you risk us all...

Yes

A ridiculous nine hundred thousand shillings

For you it is pocket money

But for me...

Fine

Suggestion

Nine hundred thousand is for everyone three hundred thousand

Agreed?

Well?

Yes

So

You put the nine hundred thousand where they belong

Is there any problems with that?

No I don’t think so

Nice

Its good to have friends, right

So...now we won’t talk about that anymore

I appreciate your generous offer

But that is the least you could do for me

How would it be if you could round up the numbers a little?

What?

I’m dog tired, I better go to bed

Ah so

Like last year

Race on men

And...there you go on the trail

What is it Waldi?

I just wanted to tell you something

I’m really thankful for your offer

Yesterday evening

And the rest we forget okay?

Naturally, of course…we said we wouldn’t talk about it anymore

Don’t worry about it

So let's go

Crazy

Thank you for the ride ~Are you normally traveling as a hitchhiker?~

Or did you forget the snow chains?

I would really welcome

If you could stop these allusions to the suitability of my car for winter

Kindly refrain from that thank you

I don’t understand anyway why Brunner sent you here~Where is she now?~

I could have handled the hotel by myself

No really, do you understand that? ~No I don’t understand~

I still have other things to do

So, what’s up?~Well if it has to be. This was the fifth theft this week~

Say is there some coffee?! ~You shouldn’t drink so much coffee~

A lot of jewellery got stolen

Don’t ask me how expensive

All right, I won’t ask you

Very expensive

Why do people take all their jewellery with them when they go on a skiing vacation

Can you explain that?

I don’t know

These people...who got robbed

Where did they keep their jewelry~In the safe~

Every room has its own safe

The centimetres thick steel~What method?~

What... what method?

Drilled into, gas cutting torch, dynamite?

Opened with a key?

Every room has a safe, every safe has a key

The guests have the key and the key is always with the guest

Can you draw me a picture too please

I checked the hotel personnel and there was nothing

The thief must come from the key branch

Do we at least have a guest list, Mrs colleague~Yes we have it~

We also verified it, no obvious known criminals in it

But if you want to, you can check it again

Say are you listening to me?

He broke his neck up on the Silverjoch

Who?

Of all things, it was Waldi, the funny Waldi from the savings bank

A local

He knew the place

And he could ski! ~What happened?~

Apparently he couldn't make the turn and went straight down the cliff

Like a bloody beginner

If you ask me

I don’t believe it ~It is insanely tragic but~

Could you mind our case ~In a moment~

And what do you believe, if I could ask you?

That the funny Waldi wasn’t so funny

Suicide? ~I didn’t say that sir~

For the version that he didn’t make the turn, you can forget about that

Not Waldi

Yes that’s where they are, the rest of the Sports colleagues

With the love of everything bureaucratic, is that really necessary?

I have a clinic with waiting patients, they all have appointments

You have our addresses, dear lord

One or two days you will have to stay here, gentleman

At least until we question you to the cause of the accident

There has to be that much time since he is in heaven, Am I right?

He is right

There has to be that much time

What kind of Sports friends are these

I am here because of the hotel thief

If you want to register

Morning ~Good morning do you have mail for me?~

Yes I think there is something

Wasn’t there a letter?

Don’t trouble yourself

I already have it, thanks

Who was that?

Speedy Magic

Did you see how he did it?~No~

I saw nothing...Speedy Magic?

We have a magician this season

Ah ha ~Animated ski lessons~

The man wants to hold us responsible for loss of business

Because they have to stay here until they are cleared

But I’m not going to quarrel with them anymore

I’m sending the case to Salzburg

But the room will stay occupied for at least three more days

You can write that down already

You can save yourself the notification to Salzburg

Stockinger Country Gendarmerie Command

Stay away from him. And you too

What do you mean you have a strange feeling

That something didn’t seem right with Schilfer. What?

Stockinger, what does that have to do with the savings bank?

I can’t understand you, I don’t understand that either yes

Have fun, you will understand soon

Believe me, Stockinger, if we made everything in life...

That we don’t understand, into a case then...

All right for my sake Stockinger investigate it

I'll investigate Mr councillor, I’ll investigate...yes

See you

Really a super idea to send you as a reinforcement

OK, pay attention...about the hotel thief ~Please Antonella, the hotel thief has to wait~

I n the moment I have other problems

What other problems?

The dead man who fell down up there

Tell me how did you get the idea that something is not right

If your best friend died under mysterious circumstances

Would you fight against an investigation?

No

Besides that he was...

An excellent skier

He knew the area very well and so on and so on~So what?~

What does that mean?~That means I'll be back in two and a half hours~

Why...from where?

Well from up there

Ah

Up front, the three made an obvious turn

And stood still

That is still 60 to 70 metres to the cliff

If the left at the same time

Than that would have path that Waldemar Reiber drove behind them

Would be certainly a little unusual

Normally you stay close together

Do you do that? ~Yes~

Interesting

Three times nine

And one times four

Thirty one

What do you mean thirty one?

Yes three times nine is twenty nine

Four...thirty one

No don’t you see…the back three made nine turns

And the front one, Waldemar only four

Ah I see

Say how many turns would a good skier make on a hill like that?

Well, you really can’t say

No...some more some less?

All right

But it is certain that the three behind with...

Their nine turns went slower than

The front, Waldemar Reiber with his four

Yes

Yes

Apparently he was a good skier

Yes sometimes some things can’t be explained

So...you write your protocol and then we go drink a beer

Yes you would like that

How about suicide, for example?

Suicide?

Suicide on skis?

I have never experienced this in my profession

Look at that

The Tracks

The others went right away down to the valley

They didn’t even look at the crash site

He fell...see

Down there ~Thats right, and then he slipped over the edge~

And with that the suicide version is discarded

Why?

Because a suicidal skier who was an excellent skier all his life...

Would have drove straight out

And not the last metres of his life slipping along on the ground

Stay still…I’ll help you

Thank you champion

But now we know at least

Even if he wanted to… he couldn’t make a turn anymore

Here under the snow everything is ice

Hurt?

It all right

Can you explain something?

Why is it so slippery down there

We have to get a meteorological information on that

Probably yesterday we had inversion weather ~Inversion weather?~

A cold air layer

And the warm air

Is holding it, like under a bell ~What warm air~

We have already three weeks permafrost

Maybe there was downwind

We have that in the mountains

But why exactly here?

Twenty meters up is nothing ~Where the sun exposure is~

All natural occurrences for a freeze up

And what unnatural occurrences are there

Nice

And what do you want to see?

I will tell you

I don’t know

Too small

Too small for what?

To transport water with it ~Water?~

There is no water in winter up here

You need to melt snow to get water

Look at that

What is that? ~I won’t tell ~

That was a joke

An inventory list

Two tables, two chairs a Bench

A tablecloth, a carpet

Even the plastic pail is in here

Three pots, plates forks

Beans, lentils, shoe-polishing stuff, seven pieces...

Speck is good

What are you looking for?

Ah yes...one two three four five six seven

Everything here

A strange miser lives in this hut

He wrote everything down

Are your investigations completed now?

No

They just got started

So if you could sign here please

Thank you

Really, what are you doing

You don't want to frame me for murder

That just happened

I don't even know what you want

Nobody knows

Excuse me to bother you gentlemen

What do you want ...who are you

District Inspector Stockinger

Country Gendarmerie Command Salzburg

I still have a few questions about the death of your friends

Lets say one hour in the hotel?

Please...thanks

With these tracks, I get the answer to the riddle

Therefore the friend drove 60 to 70 metres in front of you

What’s the name of that music

About 60 to 70 metres yes

So?

Isn’t that strange?

Personally I’m not what you call a skiing expert but...

Don’t you stay closer together when you’re going down to the valley?

Actually yes, but

He was so fast, we couldn’t keep up

That also was a trick of yours~What?~

That was lucky for you

Otherwise you would have ended up on the ice

What that could mean to a good skier, you saw that

Yes, yes, poor Waldi

I mean Mr Reiber, I can’t believe he is really dead

But excuse me, these investigations don't bring him back to life

Yes, you’re right

But at least we can find the cause of his death

Cause

What for?

The cause...

The cause of the ice

The cause of the ice?

The ice

The ice that made your friend slip

See there are different causes for ice

Down-winds for example

Inversion weather

Sun exposure

And some ...other things

That all still needs to be investigated

In the interest of public safety

Please do you mind turning this off

If you could tell me where

And why do we still have to stay here?

Because of a small weather report?

Look Mr Selten

My people up there are measuring the tracks and investigate the terrain

And reconstructing the scene of the accident

Perhaps a few more questions arise

I would be very grateful to you if you could stay available to us

Of course we can stay available to you

That’s what we owe to our friend

Thank you that’s all

You can leave

Ah Mr Maschen

Yes

What was in that suitcase?

What suitcase?

The suitcase you were carrying as you left the savings Bank

Oh…that was empty

I deposited some valuables in the Bank

It’s not that safe in the hotel

Yes, you can’t be careful enough

Yes ~Please~

Thank you, you can leave

This? ~Yes if you want~

Say what is really going on?

Speedy Magic

Daily at eight o'clock

Great Hall

Dear Councillour Rundmaier

The weather is very nice

What did you actually find out?

Up there ~Up there?~

Oh

Wald...

Waldemar Reiber on his ski run made four turns, the others nine

The food too ~As if they stayed back on purpose~

Because they knew there was an ice plate in front of the cliff

Can you maybe let me in on what you’re talking about?

This mountain expert gave me 10 different ways on how the ice plate could have got there

But none really convinced me

Ah now I understand

You believe these three made the ice plate themselves

Maybe with a huge ice machine

How do you imagine that?

Magic?

Sign

Magic? ~What is it?~

Lets go

I see that you gentleman are entertained well

Nice, very nice

I can understand that after a loss of a friend you need some variety

Nice evening then

Bye

Thank you for a nice evening

Stockinger~For my next act can I ask a member of the audience to come up here please~

We need to check if it was snowing last night up there

Maybe the gentleman back there?~Understand?~

Antonella? ~Yes you in the third row~

What? ~I think he means you~ Who? ~The Magician~

How? ~Yes you have volunteered~

Come up to the front

All right...go...go

An applause for the gentleman

A wonderful evening to you Sir

No fear, I won't hypnotize or cut you in two

Did you bring something with you? Oh I found it already

Your watch really? And does this also belong to you?

Yes that is mine~An applause and a thank you for playing~

Now you can step down

Didn’t you forget something?

A letter, Marina you didn’t read the gentleman’s intimate mail?

I would never do that

It is a shopping list, two kilo lentils, five kilo beans, and seven chunks of back bacon

I don’t want the gentleman to go home without the seven chunks of back bacon

We might get in trouble with his wife!~Thank you~

Why did Waldemar Reiber have to die?

Why why why

Why did Waldemar Reiber have to die?

Was it an accident or was it murder?

If it was murder, what was the motive

Look at that

The suitcase wasn't that empty

He did get something from the bank

That is crazy....these are our bonds

Good morning

Is the Pool already open ~Of course~

Thanks

Hey what is that

Help

Well how are you

I’m all right, Just a little weak ~Good day, so how is he?~

It's OK now

He floated like an upside down rubber duck on the water

If I hadn't accidentally found him

He would be dead like a mouse

What is a receptionist accidentally doing at the pool?

I had to follow him, it could have been suspicious

Ah..if you could leave us alone now ~If you need anything I am at your disposal~

Go please~Go please~

He is still feeling ill, but its getting better

Goodbye

There once were four friends

One breaks his neck

The other almost drowns while swimming

Strange...don’t you find so too?

I tell you it was fainting spell

All right

As you wish

This time you were lucky

But what about next time?

Ah just leave me alone

♫Wake up, the rooster it crows♫ ♫the sun is starting on its golden path♫

Good morning

Mr Inspector

At this time?

What is your labor union saying about that?

I don’t know, ask them

Come ~Thanks~

Please...Ah, if you don’t mind

Greetings

Good day

I think it’s superfluous to ask where you were an hour ago

In deep sleep

Mr Inspector, in deep sleep

As If I knew

Say did you allow him to do that?

I didn’t allow anything

What are you looking for Inspector?

A good night reading book

You probably swallowed a clown for breakfast

Are you not overstepping your authority?

Open please

If you could tell me how? ~With a key for example~

Don’t have it ~Don’t need it~

When we go on vacation we don't bring our golden confirmation watch

I have to ask you not to leave the hotel until further notice

I will be back

Can I ~Yes Please~

What did this man get from the safety deposit box?

You were there

We step a few feet away for privacy's sake

Really

I don’t know anymore I believe they were securities

You believe

The name of the owner of the safety deposit box is Herbert Maschen right?

The Austrian Bank secrecy act is not the best in the world

But it’s not that bad either ~Not?~

I can’t give you any information

And besides that the man didn't even tell me his name

How do I get to my lock box if you don’t know my name?

You wouldn’t get to your lock box

Except if you are known personally to the bank

And?

Was he known personally?

Take your time to think

No, no I didn’t know him

But there is a client list of these lock boxes

And at number 332 was the comment, client is known personally by the bank

Yes and the comment came from branch manager Waldemar Reiber

Who is sadly dead

In any case, if the comment was included then the bank knows them personally

Furthermore the man had the key from the lock box

Waldemar Reiber had the key with him

Say can I see that client list for a moment?

What?

The client list of the lock boxes? Do you even know what you’re asking?

No I really can’t do that

I am not entitled to do this at all

Furthermore I have to make deposits

Yes I forgot about that

Excuse me Mrs...

Hello

Where were you all this time? ~Can we agree to talk about something else?~

Come a little...

Thanks

You won’t guess what I did in the last hour and a half

What?

I have arrested the hotel thief

All alone

Can you guess who it was?

Let me guess...Speedy Magic?

How do you know?

I only guessed

But you didn’t know how he did it

While he was fumbling people with his magic hands

He took

An imprint quickly of everyones lock box key ~No!?~

Yes

Sit down

And what’s new with you?

Waldemar Reiber deposited securities for his friends at the bank

Completely anonymous

Only with the comment "personally known"

Interesting eh?

What do you mean? Under the table money, money laundering?

I assume

For Waldemar Reiber it was not a problem as a branch manager

He probably also wanted to be part of the big money

That’s why he had to die

But we talked about that already

How should a ...~I missed something up there~

Something small

But what?

Come

We have to go back up there

Come come come, we are not here for recreation, give me that

Emergency call, I'll get you later~Its all right, thanks~

But don’t forget

Try that

I’m vegetarian ~This is an official command, try it~

And that’s why we flew up here? ~That’s how it is, how does it taste?~

Salty ~Salty, thats right~

That is back bacon

And how do you make back bacon?

Bacon?

Where so you put the bacon?

In salt?

In salt, thats right

But where is the salt?

That is the question

Where is the salt

Peas

Lentils

Lard

Beans

Shoe shine kit

Flour

Really

Thats it

It was in there, but now its gone

What does that mean? ~That our three friends made ice with that salt~

They brought the salt to the place at the cliff

They spread it around

The snow melted

Until the dew water diluted the salt water and it froze again

To mirror-like ice

What is it?

And the proof?

Look at that

Inventory list...65kg pickling salt

And now there is nothing here any more

But how did the 65 kg pickling salt....

Get transported there?

Well that is the question

That’s it

The backpacks of course

They used the backpacks to bring it there, and then they washed them

And now they are hanging to dry on the balcony

Who? ~The backpacks~

They washed them?

That’s bad ~No no that doesn’t matter~

You can find Salt in the smallest traces

We have to go back to the hotel

Before they get rid of the backpacks completely, come lets go

How do you get out of there now?

Yes please?

We have a small question...

Are the gentlemen in their rooms? ~All three Mr Inspector~

They wont be coming past here anymore

All the staff are keeping their eyes open like you ordered

Very good, continue

Yes

Good day Mrs Müller

Don’t make a scene, I have a weapon in my pocket

Hurry up

Ah that went fast, come on in

Friends ~Yes yes the friends~

Where are your friends Mr Maschen

I don’t know

When I came from the medical station the room was empty as was the safe

That is typical...the whole staff has an eye on it

Should I put out the manhunt? ~I say put out the manhunt~

They just stole everythging~Here is Simoni~

You mean the under the table money

Please give out...~It is in the form of shares so the money will still work for you in the lock box~

Crooks

I never trusted them

You have the information anyways

While bathing I had the safe key on my neck

And that one your friends took from you

After they almost drowned you ~Murderers~

Yes that’s right...murderers

But you all three

You all murdered Waldemar Reiber

That is the proof

In here was the pickling salt that you took from the mountain cabin

Pickling salt you can detect in trace amounts

Mr Maschen I arrest you for suspicion of murder

I knew it would go wrong

Thats why I got the papers from the bank

Before it is too late ~Thank you ~

Before it is too late... ~So, the manhunt...~ Come Antonella...

I know what our sports friends are planning

And you watch this man

So, sweetheart you stay right here

What is it

You were really good

You opened the doors

Turned of the alarms

And then this

And everything went really well

The stocks in the compartments

And no comments like "known personally"

Because the client list of the lock boxes

Suddenly disappeared

And no Waldi

Who can betray us in his stupidity

Say Hans

Did we forget anything at all?

No

Only a minor detail

No no no

You cant really do that

No

But my dear

We can’t risk anything anymore

It's ultimately about our existence

You have to understand that

Day after tomorrow you have a revision

And there will be nine hundred thousand shillings missing

And what is a better admission of guilt

As a suicide

Thats enough now gentlemen

If I kick the pot away

She dies

So think about what you are going to do Inspector

Get out now

Mr Selten, I will educate you on chapter 4 paragraph b of the general service regulations

Officer on duty will put his own safety

For protection of life and limb of third persons can use his service weapon

Didn’t you understand? Get lost

Mr Selten

This woman is a third person

You are endangering her limbs and life

This is my colleague

That is the service weapon

Chapter 4 paragraph b

What will we do Mr Selten?

Stockinger ~Left~

Left

Let me try, go away

What time is it?

Fourteen fourty

Maybe you find it interesting that the

Prosecutor charged the three friends in the snow with murder

Well left

Left ~Right~Left

Stockinger?

Nooooo
