POLICE
Target not present.
Thanks.
Tracking her phone won't help.
Okay, abort.
Tracker dogs and team disperse into the area surrounding the cabin.
Maybe a helicopter too? Some infrared cameras?
Good idea.
You have good rapport with her.
-What do you mean? -You have to talk to her.
We're working overtime till the cows come home,
yet we have a culprit in custody who's confessed.
That is an official order.
WOMAN OF THE DEAD
Excuse me, could I maybe use your restroom?
-Yes, sure. -Thanks.

-Thanks very much. -You're welcome.
WANTED IF YOU HAVE INFORMATION CALL 059 13…
What exactly happened then, Mr. Shadid?
I was jealous because he had taken photos of Blum.
In her underwear.
I thought she had a thing with him.
You were jealous of Edwin Schönborn?
Were you and Mrs. Blum together?
No. But I admired her very much.
And do you still admire her?
Yes.
So how did you kill him?
In his studio. I followed her.
And what happened then?
When she left, I confronted him.
One thing led to another. I beat him to death.
Okay. And then you took the body to the funeral home to dismember it.
Mr. Shadid.
You know that a false confession is an offense, right?
I know.
Why would the confession be false?
Because he admires her a little too much.
He's covering for her.
Well, it makes sense to me.
A secret admirer scorned by his love interest.
He's carried it with him for years
but can't say anything because she's married.
Right after her husband dies,
she lets another man photograph her half-naked.
Of course his emotions boil over.
Have you looked at his file?
He was a soldier in Syria. He doesn't let his emotions boil over.
Reza had the same access to the coffins as Blum.
You have a confession for a case that was unsolved for two years.
That's a small miracle.
The best thing that could've happened to you.
We need more people to search for Blum.
Yes, right. So we can scare off any remaining tourists.
No. Roadblocks and a manhunt, and that's it.
You moron! Watch the others.
My princess!
I can smell you.
Honey,
I'm coming.
I think I can see you.
Come to me.
Come.
The next one won't miss.
Let's go.
Right now, we're destroying everything Yar has created.
Nonsense. Nothing is being destroyed.
When Kramaric tried to take over our business,
Yar sent me to negotiate.
And?
That's why we kept our turf.
After you went there,
our big sister sent me in to beat the shit out of them.
That's why our big sister is dead now!
Blum?
Okay.
Keep doing your thing.
I'll keep doing the dirty work. Cleaning up after you, like always.
TOGETHER FOR TIROL
Yes, I'll be right up to see you.
Ah, sorry. I didn't see you there.
Have you made up your mind about the board of directors?
No, not yet.
What are you waiting for?
I…
I heard you say something about Nela.
That she's been kidnapped.
What do you know?
Nothing. Just that. That's what her mother claims.
But I already told you that I really don't like Blum.
Don't lie to me.
-I… -Keep it down.
I'm not a kid anymore. You said so yourself.
So, if you don't tell me what's going on here…
What then, huh? What?
Then I won't join the board of directors.
You're setting conditions. Well, well…
You're a real Schönborn after all.
Edwin would never have dared to do that.
We'll talk again.
What is it?
Sarkissian has called a special meeting.
Aha. Doesn't he need a reason to do that?
He claims the board of directors
is being deceived about the true costs and about the delays.
Nonsense.
He knows exactly what's going on.
If he succeeds in sowing mistrust,
the board of directors may take action against the management.
Let's see about that.
-We have to take this seriously. -We have to prevent it.
From a legal standpoint, we don't have many options.
But you had an idea. What about that?
Unfortunately, that's in God's hands.
Since when do you put your trust in God?
I never should've gotten involved with him.
I was skeptical from the start.
We had no other choice.
If we keep getting less and less snow,
we’ll soon need a fresh infusion of cash.
Right now, we need to get rid of him.
Then we'll worry about climate change.
You stay here. Everyone else comes with me.
Come.
Come on!
Are you fucking serious?
What's so urgent?
Don't be so impatient. You'll like this story.
So, these two were seized without papers yesterday
by a patrol at around 23:30.
They were allegedly being held captive in a container.
We tried to locate it and ended up on a property owned by YAR.
That's an import-export company.
They say they were set free by this woman.
They don't speak any German, by the way, just English.
Blum's daughter.
Officer, none of this makes any sense.
So let's assume
that Blum really did everything you're accusing her of.
Why would she free people from a container,
ask about her daughter, and not be on the run?
To Italy, for example.
-Maybe the two are connected. -Okay. And if so, how?
Two years ago, when those men vanished,
wasn't a woman's body found too?
Yes. But she was a tourist.
Or maybe she wasn't a tourist.
Was she identified?
No, she wasn't.
YAR CONSTRUCTION
DAMIAN FUCKED UP AGAIN.
Okay. One, two, three, four. All good.
What is it?
SEARCH WARRANT
Hey!
Where's my daughter?
Just shoot.
Then you'll never find out.
Go on. Do it.
It depends on where I aim my shot.
A huge mess.
I'll have to go to hospital.
And you'll run out of time.
I'm busy. Leave a message.
Badal Sarkissian. We have a search warrant.
We'll get started.
You don't need me for that.
My colleague will accompany you.
Five missed calls from Badal.
Seems to be urgent.
You stay here.
Where are you?
All hell's broken loose here.
Where is my daughter?
Where is my sister?
Your sister?
She's here with me.
What do you want?
-That depends entirely on you. -I'm listening.
The video that I'm supposed to exchange for my daughter,
I don't know where it is.
I don't have the slightest idea what this is even about.
I don't believe that.
Why the hell would I lie, huh? My daughter's life is at stake.
Now what?
The gravel pit. Tomorrow morning at five.
Nela for your sister.
Badal, don't do it!
You heard that? She's fit as a fiddle.
For now.
Blum, you're in way over your head.
Don't tell me that I'm in over my head, you asshole!
If I don't see my daughter alive again, I'll kill you all!
Do you understand me?
Okay, I'll be there. We'll do the exchange.
Before that, I need a sign of life from Nela to this phone.
WAGENSCHAUB DEAD?
In the Wagenschaub case, we did not locate a laptop.
But we were able to recover the contents of one of the melted USB sticks.
Yeah?
Right. It's all pretty inconspicuous.
Several emails, Word files, a few amended contracts…
But there are some rather large video files.
They were password protected.
These videos, they're… I'd better warn you. They're heavy.
A colleague took the day off after he had to watch them.
-Yes, okay. -Okay.
Who knows how big his collection is
if the other USB sticks had similar content.
And it's definitely not fake or anything?
Unlikely. These are snuff videos, also known as "hurtcore" videos.
Basically rape porn that ends in death.
Here.
This cut wound here, it's too deep to be fake.
And you just download that or buy it online?
No, you don't buy them. They trade them with each other.
One guy films. Then he trades the video for another one filmed by someone else.
Means they have something on each other.
Is Wagenschaub on any sex offenders list?
Nowhere. But that doesn't mean anything. They're usually individual cases.
Until a whole ring gets busted,
the participants remain totally anonymous.
Did Edwin Schönborn have any prior convictions?
SO 4EVER ISN'T THAT LONG AFTER ALL.
GET IN TOUCH, I CAN'T GET HOLD OF YOU.
HELLO? WHERE ARE YOU?
I'M WORRIED. PLEASE CALL ME.
You wanted to speak to me?
Yes, I did some checking.
There were investigations into Edwin Schönborn back then
for sexual harassment,
suspected attempted rape, and bodily harm.
Yes. I remember that.
Yes.
And they were all closed.
And?
You know which officer ordered that back then.
What are you trying to accuse me of, Officer?
What should I have done?
If you had read the file more carefully,
you'd know that they all dropped their complaints.
Besides,
I didn't even really know him. Personally that is.
But his mother. You do know her personally.
Certainly.
She is one of the most important people in Bad Annenhof.
Of course people know her.
Good night, Officer.
-Congratulations. -Thank you.
I have to move on now. I'll see you later.
-Ms. Wallner. What's so urgent? -It's about Mr. Danzberger.
This thing is bigger than we thought.
It involves a snuff ring. Violent porn.
I wonder whether Mr. Danzberger isn't too close to it all.
Too close? To what?
To people here who might even be involved.
You'll have to be a little more specific.
He's too tight with Mrs. Schönborn.
Schönborn's son was most likely involved in the snuff business.
Don't you have a confession from her assistant?
He's lying.
I'll have a look at it all when I'm back at work.
If you want to survive, you'll do as I say.
Long day, huh?
YAR Import Export has been searched.
And Sarkissian's private residence.
-And? -There's evidence of human trafficking.
We have nothing to do with that.
I hope so, for your sake.
You didn't get that information from me.
What information?
Yes? Johanna?
Yes. What was in our agreement again?
-Offenders lose their voting right? -Yes, why?
You see, Behringer, sometimes it helps to put a little faith in God.
Good evening. Vehicle registration papers, please.
Thank you.
You can move on.
Alex! Hi.
Hi.
-Can I help you? -Yes.
I'd like to report a kidnapping.
Who's the victim?
My girlfriend, Nela.
-Blum's daughter, yeah? -Yes, that's right.
Okay.
All right, come with me, and we can talk in peace, okay?
Okay. Thanks.
Good.
Come.
We'll swap again at the next opportunity.
No.
No, no, no!
No! Oh God, no. Please no. No.
Hackspiel?
Shit.
Shit!
Shit. Shit! Shit!
Is everything okay?
No, damn it! She was my hostage!
-Your daughter. -Yes.
Sarkissian has her.
And she's his sister. Do you understand?
Have you eaten yet today?
Today?
Today doesn't work. I'm exhausted. Very tired.
But…
Tomorrow maybe, okay?
-Yeah. Okay. -Yeah?
Bye.
Thanks for coming.
Yes.
I hope you have good news.
I can't help you anymore.
What does that mean?
The deal is dead.
What do you mean, "dead"? I'm in the middle of an election campaign.
-The problem has to be resolved. -Find your blackmailer yourself.
You won't be able to ask anything more of me.
Your problem is no longer my problem.
All right.
We have a problem.
Okay, come in.
That jackass,
Schönborn's nephew, he just showed up at the station today.
He wanted to report Nela's kidnapping, the moron.
Where is he now?
He's sleeping. In the fucking trunk!
Are you totally nuts?
What am I supposed to do?
What?
I'll take care of the boy and you get out of here.
What?
Okay.
Okay, but that's it then.
That's it with what exactly?
We're done. I've done everything you wanted.
But kidnappings and nasty shit like that, I'm not doing that.
I'm not doing that!
I'm not your lackey anymore.
I decide when your debts have been repaid.
Think of the consequences for your parents.
Damian will take the boy, and then you beat it.
Come here. There's work to do.
Right now!
You keep an eye on that policewoman.
What a shitshow.
Now you'll never see your daughter again.
Shut up!
You're cursed, Blum.
Be quiet.
The police will look for her.
With dogs.
We have to cover up the scent somehow.
You got me into this mess.
I saved your life, Blum!
It's all connected somehow.
Your daughter.
That Sarkissian guy.
Mrs. Schönborn.
-Someone broke into my house. -My place was broken into too.
It all started when Edwin's body suddenly appeared.
Maybe…
Maybe they kept making those torture videos.
On a large scale.
I thought that nightmare was over.
Help me.
-It's not deep enough. -It'll have to do.
She was my only chance.
I'll help you.
How are you going to help me?
Luckily, Sarkissian doesn't know that we're burying his sister.
BLOOD SUGAR LOW
Sarkissian.
There've always been rumors about illegal workers,
with some of them going missing.
I knew one of them. And now she's dead.
Will you help us?
He saved my life.
You know this is a straight-up suicide mission, sweetie.
I don't have a choice.
You just have to show yourself and wave so he thinks I have his sister.
-But you didn't really kidnap her, right? -Of course not.
We just need a brief moment so he can free Nela.
Mariah, this guy has my daughter.
Sarkissian is a bastard. And his sister is too.
Should the bastards get away with it just because we don't have the courage?
Okay.
Tell me what hairstyle I need.
Dark hair, slicked back. Mid-length.
Love it.
-Alex? -Nela!
-What are you doing here? -Are you all right?
Hey!
It's okay.
You know the deal, right?
Take another look at her.
I HOPE WE UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER.
IF YOU DO AS YOU'RE TOLD IT WILL REMAIN AMONG FRIENDS.
OR THE WHOLE VIDEO WILL GO ONLINE.
