[rock music playing on radio]
Careful. Hold on. Better hold on. Hold on tight.
-[laughs] -Cool, right?
[laughs] Yeah!
Right.
[engine cuts]
Uh, where's Sebastian?
Oh, I'm sure he'll be here soon.
-Hey, Doc! -What's up, dude? How you doing?
[boys laughing]
-Bertl, Jaunig. -[Puch] Awesome car.
[Edwin] For sure.
Right. Ready for the unofficial opening?
-There. That's the new funicular system. -[Puch] That's awesome.
-[Edwin] Get on in. -[Jaunig whistles]
-[boys chattering] -I'm sure he forgot.
Come on. It's all good.
[all laughing]
-[Puch] Yeah! -[Jaunig] You need to be a Schönborn.
-[Ludwig] Dude, that rich bugger. -It's really pretty.
What was that? It's too loud. I can't hear you.
Pretty. I just said that it's pretty.
Hm. Pretty.
Mmm. Mm-hm.
Yeah. I think so.
-[Ludwig] We think that too, Gerda. -[Edwin] Mm-hm.
[chuckles]
Why don't you say that to your father, then?
[sinister music playing]
That he shouldn't stick his nose into our business.
He didn't give a shit about anything. About my family,
our company,
Bad Annenhof.
[Jaunig] About any of us, Gerda.
I… I want to go back.
[Ludwig] Send her home, Edwin.
-To your house? Yeah? -Yeah.
Wanna go home?
-Go ahead! -[boys laughing]
-[Puch] Are you nuts? -[Gerda] That…
[alarm dinging]
I don't get what your father is thinking.
He's a nobody, okay?
A fucking nobody. Just like you!
-[screaming] -You're a nobody too!
[screaming]
-[boys laughing] -[screaming]
-[Edwin grunting] -[Gerda whimpering]
-You stupid bitch! -That's enough now.
[shuddering]
Why?
-[Gerda sobbing] -Her father fucked us over.
Now we're going to fuck his daughter.
[Jaunig] What?
Look at her. It couldn't be more simple.
Come.
Come on, don't be shy.
An opportunity like this won't come again.
-This is it. This is it. Yeah? -Mmm.
[gasping]
[Ludwig] Yeah, Puch.
-Get off. -[Puch laughing]
-Hello, Gerda. -Hey, stop it.
I don't like this. I really don't like this.
-[whimpering] -[Puch] Hold her tight.
[screaming]
-[church bell ringing] -[music fades out]
[wind gusting]
[tense music playing]
-Hello. -Hi.
Danzberger.
Hello, Blum.
This is my colleague, Ms. Wallner,
from the Federal Criminal Police in Vienna.
[clears throat]
Yeah, sorry about hauling you to the station.
Just tell me what is this?
It's about the death of Herbert Jaunig in the fire.
Our experts are saying it wasn't an accident, but arson instead.
Uh-huh.
[chief] That doesn't seem to surprise you.
Pff. I'm an undertaker. Nothing surprises me anymore.
Yeah, then, let's start with the tire tracks we found.
[Blum] Am I supposed to be able to identify them?
No, no, because we've already done that.
They're summer tires. Model Goodride Super SC,
but that's unimportant.
What's important is what car…
What car they were on when they parked in this area.
Or rather, the wheelbase.
That is, the distance between the front and rear axles.
And that tells us that it must have been a minivan or a big SUV…
or like maybe a hearse.
Why don't you just ask me if I was at Jaunig's
in the hours leading up to his death?
[suspenseful music playing]
Well, were you?
[Blum] Obviously.
Nela had ripped his shirt in school.
We drove over to his place to apologize to him.
Why did she tear his shirt?
She got into a fight with some boy.
Jaunig got right in the middle.
You can feel free to ask her about it. She didn't go with me voluntarily.
[door opening]
[door closing]
[door opening]
That's good.
Edwin Schönborn has gone missing.
He may have taken off,
but maybe he didn't.
In any case, you were probably the last person to see him.
And you were probably the last person to visit Father Jaunig
inside of the rectory.
Has Edwin Schönborn been reported missing yet?
Well, not officially. No, not yet.
Why not, then?
I don't understand what the connection is.
This thing has nothing to do with the other.
It does. We assume that someone probably parked the Porsche from Edwin's
in front of the rectory sometime that morning.
Maybe he did it himself?
Who did you get these prints from?
Johanna Schönborn?
Because I spoke to her Wednesday.
And she showed me all of these photos too.
And she told me that Edwin sent her a text message a few days later.
But I'm sure you've probably known that for a while now.
I'm going to ask you straight up.
Where were you the night Father Jaunig burned alive in his house?
She was with me that night.
[chief] And where?
The Iguana.
[knocking, door opening]
Chief, her daughter confirmed it.
[inhales, exhales deeply]
Can I go now, huh?
Yeah, for now we have no further questions.
I'll see you out.
I don't want to tell you how to spend your time here,
but it would be nice if you guys would catch the asshole
who's responsible for killing my husband first. Bye.
Mrs. Blum? We'll be in touch. We'll also need a blood sample.
To compare with the blood sample that was found in the Puch Bar and Restaurant.
Yeah. You know my address, I'm guessing.
[dramatic music playing]
[Ms. Schönborn] Bad Annenhof
has been a skiing wonderland for decades.
The number of visitors speaks for itself.
Mr. Sarkissian, my father built this completely from scratch.
He started readying this village for the future.
We invested year after year.
For example, in the construction of the helicopter hangar,
in additional snow machines,
or the new renovation of Puch Restaurant for restaurateur Bertl Puch.
Ah, but all of this is nothing compared to what awaits it.
It will make us one of the top five ski resorts in the Alps in one fell swoop.
In phase one, the disused ropeway on the Zoeblenker Eck
will be newly constructed,
Included will be rotating gondolas and just a four-minute journey.
It'll be all the rage.
The real coup comes in phase two.
We will link both ski areas
with a new peak-to-peak gondola comfort lift experience.
A final deadline expires this week that had rendered
the south mountainside untouchable for 30 years.
And that, ladies and gentlemen,
will mean that "Powder Paradise Bad Annenhof"
will reign supreme.
What's wrong with your leg?
I came down on my foot funny.
You didn't have to do that for me.
Maybe we can talk about it over dinner.
Oh yeah?
Ute left me last night.
[exhales sharply] I'm not sure that's such a good idea.
I'll cook.
7:30? My place?
Okay?
Mm. Okay.
Good.
[soft rock music playing on radio]
-Mom! -Hey.
[Nela] Mom!
What did they want to know if we were at Jaunig's for?
They don't seriously think I burned the house down, do they?
No, of course not.
Karl, can you take over here?
Danzberger botched up half my day with his conspiracy theories.
I don't know which part is worse,
that you're cheating on Ute with your best friend's widow,
or that you stabbed me in the back in front of the Federal Criminal Police.
-Ute and I were over a long time ago. -Yeah, that doesn't surprise me at all.
And I wonder if that alibi is even true.
Just because my boss is crooked
doesn't mean that all of us here are.
How dare you talk to me like this!
[Massimo sniffs]
So? Everything okay?
They're in the dark.
For now.
But there's a federal investigator here and she surely won't let up.
[sighs deeply]
Maybe you should go away for a while,
give things a chance to blow over.
Those men are dead, Reza.
I killed them. It not just gonna blow over here.
If something happens, I can take care of the children for you.
-What? -Karl is only getting older.
Or do you have other family around here?
We have to get rid of the evidence. All of it.
I'll assist you.
[Ms. Schönborn] Um… let's go over there. If that's all right with you.
Uh… One second. I'll be right back.
-What are you doing here? Huh? -One second, please.
Listen to me. I've come to say goodbye to you.
It's high time for me. I'm leaving here. Leaving Annenhof.
You'll have to find someone else to do your dirty work.
Have you gone mad or what?
"Dirty work," is that what you said?
-After everything I've done for you? -I'm grateful to you for that.
You'd be sleeping on the streets without me.
I know.
Who believed you back then when your little girlfriend went missing?
Me, and no one else.
Maybe you helped me like that back then because you knew that Edwin was involved.
[deep breath]
I found this at his place.
Take a look at it when you can.
If that goes public,
you can pack it in.
You and your whole Bad Annenhof fairy-tale castle.
Someone I trust has the original copy.
Are you trying to blackmail me, bastard, or what?
[scoffs]
To you everything is just…
money…
and control…
and shine.
[giggles]
[giggles creepily]
Massimo gave me an alibi at the station today.
He wanted to help.
Hopefully he doesn't decide to change his mind.
He wants to meet me for dinner tonight.
[laptop notification dinging]
RANGE ROVER FOUND!
Hello, Bernhard. Tell me, is that true?
Okay, tell me again.
Ah. Thank you.
-You're a genius. -[phone beeps off]
Where are you going, Grandpa?
I have to go out real quick. Your mom's next door if you need something, yeah?
[ominous music playing]
[dramatic music playing]
-[music fades] -[doorbell ringing]
-Hello. -[Massimo] Hello.
Come right in.
-[wine pouring] -[clears throat]
It feels strange somehow.
[Massimo] What's that?
Being here without Ute.
[Massimo sighs]
Yeah.
[glasses clink]
Hello, Jochen.
Mr. Thaler… you good?
We're actually closing now.
Is something wrong…
with the Ducati?
Some time ago, you had a Range Rover here, perhaps.
Black.
The driver who killed my son was driving a black Range Rover.
-The police haven't been able to find him. -I don't understand.
Did you drive it all the way through town?
Did you run Mark over and then just take off?
[chuckles]
-That's really-- -[Karl grunts]
You knew everyone was looking for that model.
So explain to me why you didn't go to the police with that information.
[Jochen exhales]
Yes. We had a black Range Rover here from the insurance for a few days,
to be repaired.
But I didn't go to the police because the car went back to the police anyway.
They picked it up days earlier.
[book slams shut]
You don't really need to worry.
[romantic soul music playing]
He's just poking around a bit because Schönborn is getting on his case.
The thing with the tire tracks isn't a reliable lead.
Well, I mean, he is right. I was at Jaunig's.
Yeah.
You were at Jaunig's.
The day before.
But you hardly parked Edwin's Porsche in front of Jaunig's door.
[chuckles]
Maybe Edwin had something going on with the priest.
Oh yeah?
What do you mean by that?
Something amorous? [chuckles]
Hm. Why not?
-Strange things go on in the world. -Hmm.
Yeah.
Maybe there's no connection at all.
But, yeah, who knows?
Yeah.
I hope you find the answer soon.
[Massimo] Bertl Puch…
he's not showing his face anymore either.
Is that so?
[Massimo] Yeah.
The list of strange cases continues, huh?
For example,
the dead girl in the river.
No one knows her.
No one knows where she's from.
All of a sudden she was there.
That's more dead people than we've had in the last 20 years combined.
[tense music playing]
Huh.
Not much has changed in my business.
People die every day.
Even in Bad Annenhof.
Hmm.
I have something for you.
It's not what you think.
[both chuckling]
An earring.
[Massimo] Yeah.
Your earring.
Hm.
Where did you get it?
From Puch Restaurant.
[chuckles nervously] That's so weird.
[Massimo] Hmm. I thought so too.
Your alibi, Blum,
for Jaunig…
We both know that the times don't match up.
What do you want?
I have to know that
we can trust each other.
That we're honest with each other.
You with me.
And me with you.
[nervously] You don't even really know me.
Oh yeah.
Yeah, I do.
Hm?
I'll help you.
[droning sinister music playing]
[crunching]
[phone buzzing faintly]
[phone buzzing]
Answer. Answer. Answer.
-[Blum's voicemail] Speak after the beep. -It's me.
There are five of them, not four.
-[flesh tearing] -[blood splattering]
[sighs] I can't do this.
[sighs]
[sinister music playing]
[breathing shakily]
Karl?
Everything okay?
I thought that maybe I'd found him.
-Who? -[sighs]
Hit-and-run driver.
But it was a dead end.
I found a Range Rover with accident damage in the right spot,
but the police already have it.
So it can't be the car.
True.
All confiscated vehicles go to this garage. Like the Ducati.
That's right. Massimo's taken care of it.
They won't find him.
What did you say?
We will never find my son's murderer.
[intense music playing]
[music fades]
You're a part of it, aren't you?
You're one of them, then?
[Massimo] He called me from the toll booth.
He told me something about bunkers, about a torture apparatus,
and lots of dead people.
-It was totally absurd. -[ominous music playing]
And that's what I told him. I told him…
it all sounded
totally crazy.
Animal masks?
What nonsense.
[scoffs]
And that's why he noticed.
The animal masks.
Crackpot idea.
Did you run Mark over, then?
[sobs]
My baby.
[sighs]
The others…
they can't do it, Blum.
They're just not up to it.
That's how it's always been.
It's you who kills them.
You always come at the end.
That's why Dunja didn't see you.
She thought there were only four of you.
In the end, she did have a chance to "get to know" me.
It was purely by chance.
End of my patrol.
On the bridge.
I intercepted her and she… she…
she absolutely wanted to go down there…
to fall.
Yeah.
And you?
What about you?
Hm?
What have you done?
With Edwin,
with Puch,
with Ludwig?
And how?
How did you manage it?
And I mean from here.
How did you do that?
My children won't grow up in a world
in which the murderer of their father runs free.
Your children?
No, that wasn't for your children.
You did that for yourself. For yourself alone.
We're both very similar on that count.
[sighs]
And the nice thing is,
we…
can keep one another protected.
"Protected?"
Yes, otherwise you lose everything.
Everything, gone.
The children.
You'll go to prison for a long time. Very long.
But, hey,
no one has to find out.
Things can still turn out good for you.
And it is somehow remarkable, isn't it?
That two similar people,
just like you and me,
found one another.
That can't be a coincidence, can it?
I can understand you.
You're like me.
Did Mark ever understand?
I mean like this? As you really are?
I loved him.
[exhales sharply]
I really loved him too.
And now he's brought us together.
The executioner and the woman of the dead.
You know what?
Fuck you.
-[gun clicks] -[gasps softly]
[sighs]
[whimpers]
Come on now. Give that over here.
-Give me that, huh? -[sniffs]
Hm?
[shuddering breaths]
[gasps]
Did you think I'd let you run around
freely here with a loaded weapon?
You?
Oh, come on, Blumy.
Hmm?
[grunts]
[both straining]
-[Massimo] Hm. -[gasps]
-[Massimo grunts] -[sinister music playing]
[cable car dinging]
[whimpering softly]
[Gerda moaning]
Are you all stupid or what?
Do you want to spend your whole lives in prison?
Even if it's only half your lives,
when you get out, you assholes won't be able to do anything.
[breathing nervously]
-[crunching] -[exclaiming in shock]
[Massimo] It's over.
Nobody saw her today.
You got that?
[grunting]
-[groaning] -Man, are you nuts?
[coughing]
[grunts]
Till the end.
Okay. Till the end.
Till the end.
[all] Till the end.
[church bell ringing]
With 42%, he still wouldn't have the majority.
Yes, but it won't be far off.
He'll have three seats on the board and you'll stay boss for your lifetime.
They don't know anything about business. They need you.
[all clapping]
[both chuckling]
[ominous music playing]
[doorbell ringing]
[rapping on door]
[phone ringing]
[Blum's voicemail] Speak after the beep.
[sighs]
[Blum] The mountain station.
That's what she meant.
They took all of the girls up there.
-[groans softly] -[door slamming]
[coughing]
[gasping]
[gasps]
Quiet.
Don't move.
What's he doing with me?
Burning you,
like all the others.
He didn't have any time to take care us.
You really kept him on his toes, huh?
Where is Dunja? Is she okay?
[moans] She didn't make it out.
You did the right thing, you know.
[crying] I don't know.
[intense music playing]
[music fades out]
-Quiet. He's coming back. -Hm.
[footsteps approaching]
[metal scraping]
[bar clanging]
[gun cocks]
[gasping]
Now.
Go.
[panting]
[corpse 1] What is the sharpest bone in the body?
[Blum grunting]
[panting]
[grunting]
[exhales sharply]
[exasperated sigh]
[chuckles]
Blum?
Blumy.
[breathing shakily]
-[Blum panting] -[gunshot]
[panting]
[gunshot]
-[gunshot] -[Reza grunts]
[bar clanging]
[groaning]
Well, look who's here.
No.
Hmm.
[Massimo] Reza.
You've always stayed out of everything until now.
-[Blum screaming] -[Massimo grunting]
-[flesh tearing] -[Massimo exclaiming painfully]
-[Blum screaming] -[Massimo grunting repeatedly]
-[screaming continues] -[grunting stops]
[screaming hysterically]
-[ragged screaming] -[Reza grunting]
[Reza shushing]
[Blum panting]
[melancholy string music playing]
[Blum sobbing]
[Ms. Schönborn] Ladies and gentlemen,
to this historic deal.
Here's to the future of Powder Paradise. [laughs]
[crowd gasping]
[both grunting]
[fireworks exploding]
[Ms. Schönborn laughing]
Cheers.
[police chattering]
What kind of crap is this?
And this was just lying around here?
Maybe he didn't have any time to spare.
[snowplow approaching]
[wind howling]
What's the point of this, Blum?
Yeah. I wondered that same thing
when my photos suddenly turned up with the police.
I thought we had an agreement.
Well, nothing has changed. And… my son is still gone.
And the investors went with him.
And the new ones. They're less fussy.
Sebastian Hackspiel left me something.
[scoffs]
So you've already seen it too.
They're all down there in the engine room.
-All young women. -[sighs]
Young girls.
Tempted here with big promises. They all paid with their lives.
The medical examiners will have their hands full.
I can already imagine the headlines.
Edwin
has nothing to do with it at all.
-Hmm. -He got mixed up in bad company.
Terrible friends.
He always had terrible friends.
I want to be left in peace, okay?
By Danzberger and by you.
No more questions. Never again.
So, let's see, you want to get off unpunished?
[scoffs] I've already been punished.
The worst thing that could have happened to me has already happened.
-Do you know what, Mrs. Blum? -What?
I miss my son just as you miss your husband.
I know I did a lot of things wrong.
And maybe if I had been there for him, if I had…
spent more time with him, he would have become a better person.
But he was always a good boy to me.
Attentive and obliging.
He didn't deserve all of that.
I didn't deserve all of that.
[sighs]
[dramatic music playing]
[chief] Yes, Mrs. Schönborn. Yes. Yes! Till later.
The cell phone records of Massimo's calls.
INCOMING - BLUM
-[knocking on door] -Yeah.
[Wallner] Hello.
[clears throat]
Yeah.
[swallows]
Apparently,
we've had a sadistic psychopath as a colleague this entire time.
[chuckles] You don't believe that.
Well, the evidence against him is overwhelming.
[Wallner] Yeah?
I'm surprised your colleague was so careless.
Look here, the only thing I know is that this village
has to get some peace as quickly as possible.
And without bodies there aren't any murders.
So, please, give it a rest, then.
Mr. Danzberger, your instincts, don't suppress them.
If you suppress them for too long they stop communicating with you.
I'd like all the investigation's findings from Massimo's house.
[sighs]
[chuckles]
First your leg, then Reza's arm.
Was that another accident?
Whatever you've got going on right now,
I don't wanna know about it.
Except one thing.
Do I need to worry?
Not for now.
No.
[footsteps approaching]
You wanted to speak to me?
[Ms. Schönborn clears throat]
I may be in the minority, but if you…
act against my interests, you'll see then.
-[somber piano music playing] -Then what?
Skiing is a very dangerous sport.
[ominous music playing]
I like to make things clear.
Out of respect for our working relationship.
And so you know,
working with us will make your life so much easier.
We solve problems…
in a direct way.
Do you have problems, ma'am?
[ominous music swells]
-[whimsical music playing] -[kids laughing]
[all chatting indistinctly]
[melancholy music playing]
[Blum] Hmm.
Did they deserve it?
Did who deserve it?
Your parents.
That they drowned then.
Did they deserve it?
I don't understand.
I don't care what you tell the others.
All I want is for you to share with me the truth.
So that I can trust you.
Since when have you known?
From the very beginning.
It is better that they're dead.
Then it's good.
-You're not leaving? -[chuckles]
No.
I'm not leaving.
[music fades out]
[intense music playing]
