01x02 - Powder

[bunniefuu]

[Intro music]

I can't sleep.

Come here.

[Mysterious music]

I would like to live on the moon.

There is enough space.
But how do we get there?

We could build a rocket.

We could. But where do we get
the parts for a rocket?

At Pulver Paul.

You wouldn't dare go there.

Of course I dare to go there!

[steps on wooden floor]

[Ominous music]

[Kai was quiet...
Turned in on himself.

He had no friends. Just me.

Was there violence in your family?

Our father was strict.

Can I ask you to answer my questions
precisely. Does that mean yes?

Yes.

There was an accident in 1990,
in which you...

...with a handgun
and...

...by mistake,
shot her father.

Is that correct?

Where did you get the g*n?

Uh... found.

With Paul Möbius.
Powder Paul. Our neighbor.

[Quiet voices from the next room]

Um. The case was handled at the time
by Chief Inspector Justus Voit.

Related?

Yes, my father.

I see.

Paul Möbius
had firearms, did he?

His property was
a huge scrap yard.

We did a test of courage,
my friends and I.

Everyone had to steal something from Paul.
I got the g*n.

Who were your friends back then?

Kai, Adrian Demko and...

...Roland Voit

Ms. Kring, I would now like to

about the circumstances of
about the circumstances of your brother Kai's death.

You were both
trainee commissioners, right?

And involved in the case?

We have worked with them.
Were in training. -Mmh.

From what I read here,
you were the driving force back then.

Kai was my brother.

I did everything I could,
to find out what happened.

I have noticed,

that the autopsy report
of your brother is missing.

Have you
ever seen him?

I don't know. Uh.

I was there, at the autopsy...

[Sniffs]

[Clears throat] Then I had problems,

to deal with it,
I quit my job and moved away.

At the same time, two other people
two other people disappeared.

Rainer
and Elfriede Seidel.

The mortal remains
Rainer Seidels

were found on the pile of corpses.

Unfortunately, the cause of death
unfortunately can no longer be determined.

Mrs. Kring,
Is your father a member of a cult?

An unusual association,
a religious group,

something similar?

I don't know.

The bodies and cadavers already autopsied
and cadavers on the pile of corpses

was established,
that they were all bled to death.

As is the case with cattle for slaughter
is the case.

It may well be
that in the murders

a fixation on blood
plays a role.

Can you think of anything?

Good. Thank you, I'm ready then.

Reunion.

Thank you for staying.

Reunion.

[Murmuring crowd]

-What do you know
about the survivor?

-Is he conscious?

-Also about his identity...

Voit! This powder Paul...

We'll get him here tomorrow.

We have to get him
get him off his property.

Should run smoothly.

We think it would help
if he sees a familiar face.

From your point of view
anything against it?

Mm-mm.

Take
your Polish minder with you.

[choral singing]

...accidentally...shot your father
shot your father. Correct?

[Echo]

No! Dad, please! Please, Dad!

[shot]

I'll drive you to your aunt.

[Radio] Among the victims
of the serial m*rder case in Krewlow,

today
one survivor was recovered today.

According to the police,

is
is a middle-aged man.

His identity is still unknown.

The man was
with severe injuries

taken to the Seelow hospital...

You stayed after all.
-What about the survivor?

I'm not allowed to say.
-Then you can for sure

also not say what happened to Kai's
Kais' autopsy report?

...Commissioner Goldhofer

Lost.
Like many other things.

...course of the emergency operation
had to wait,

before further information
announced...

Stay away from the press, will you?

[Reporter] We are expecting
in the next few hours...

The police
are still in the dark.

How could this
happen in this community?

[Barely audible conversations]

[Roland] Say hello to Edith for me.

[Maggie.]
You need to talk to your father.

This autopsy report has not
lost just like that.

Maggie...

Please keep my father out of it.

What do you even want
with the report?

There will be nothing new in it.

It's not about
what it says.

The point is that he's gone.

[Sigh.]

There was always something strange

between our fathers.
You know that.

Ask him for the autopsy report.

[Mysterious music]

[TV]
...the corpses

carefully piece by piece
be removed piece by piece.

In the process
the man, who was still alive, was discovered.

This could be a turning point
in the investigation.

But so far his identity
could not be established.

A DNA analysis revealed,

that he is not
in the police database.

The man is under strict
guarded in Seelow Hospital.

[Everything ok?

Whether it is another victim
or one of the perpetrators,

is not yet clear...

Just don't look at it anymore.

Mmmh?

Nice to have you here. [Smiles]

This time you take
your boxes with you.

Yes, I promise.

N' tea?

The colleagues
want to talk to you tomorrow.

About '97.

They found Rainer Seidel's body
among the dead.

Is there anything
you want to tell me?

Is there anything
you want to ask me?

Hey.

Hey...

Lenora Künold, from the IDKO.

The beds are shared
shared between the shifts.

Luckily we don't have to sleep in the
sleep in the hallway.

Are you uh...
BKA or KTU or...?

I am nothing.

Bye-bye.

I'm sorry about all the chaos.

Your old wagon
is in the barn.

You can have it,
as long as you want.

Thank you, Edith.

Have you been to Kai's grave yet?

I have seen him.

I know it's not real, but...
somehow it is.

It wasn't your fault.

And not that one over there either.

[Ominous music]

[Goldhofer] Wednesday,
shortly after sunrise,

made two night anglers
on their way home

a gruesome find
near Krewlow in the Oderbruch.

While crossing a fallow field
field they came across

on a mountain over two meters high
of corpses and animal carcasses.

On the same day
the special commission Krewlow

set up camp
directly at the place where they were found

and has been working
working flat out to clear up the case.

[Student, Polish]
The food here is great.

[Polish] What is it?
-Vitamins. Iron.

What the hell?!

[News, Polish]
...Murders spread

over the last 50 years.

At least one victim
was k*lled just a few days ago.

The investigations are
in close cooperation with

with the Polish CID
carried out,

because we are here
in the border area to Poland...

You know what that means, Danja.
-It's less than 20 kilometers from here.

We want to know what's going on.

Nothing that concerns you
and your future here.

This is only your first offense.
Only four will get you kicked out.

Incidentally, it is also considered a breach of the rules
if you do not take the vitamins.

I heard,
that it was a Satanist sect.

Human sacrifice, etc.

Satanists don't do that.

We are isolated here
from the outside world, aren't we?

I can't deal with something like that.

You get used to it.

[What is that?
-Meth kitchens.

Before the search parties arrive,
they blow them up.

According to what is written here,

I don't know,
whether we should go there alone.

I know Paul. Don't worry about it.

Maybe you know these too well.

Justus? It's me, Maggie.

[TV] The flood of 1997
counts alongside the flood of 1947,

among the greatest flood disasters
of the 20th century.

Large parts of the Oderbruch
were flooded

and entire villages destroyed.

The subsequent repair work
on the dikes...

Hello!

...underground conditions
and numerous ammunition finds from...

I need to ask you a quick question.

...more difficult. Flooding
along the banks of the Oder...

Severe damage
in Poland and the Czech Republic. 74'...

[Ominous music]

Over 100,000 were evacuated.

Justus! What happened to
happened to Kai's autopsy report?

...over 8,000 inhabitants had to...

[Metal hinge]

[Metal hinge]

Paul?

Paul, this is Roland.

Paul? I'm coming in now, okay?

[Metallic impact]

Paul?

[exciting music]

[Haskel!

Wieczorek!

Stand still!

Where do you want to go?

[Wieczorek] We haven't done anything!
No sh*t now.

We were just tidying up!

He has so much weaponry
lying around.

Something blew up.
That was an accident!

Does Paul know about this?
That you're cooking meth at his place?

No, no, no!
We have nothing to do with that stuff!

Where is Paul?

In his den...
or collect scrap metal.

[Mmh.

Did you see anything from here
seen anything from here?

That night,
when you found the bodies?

No. We weren't here then.
We were night fishing.

Yes, we went night fishing.

Yes, of course.

[Seeger] I have informed the BKA
and the Identification Commission

offered the help of our association.

But it seems that they know
our 30 years of experience

when exhuming and analyzing
of bones.

But that doesn't mean...
that we can't do anything.

We all know
who is responsible for this.

Someone who has no respect
for the peace of the dead.

Someone who disturbs their peace
and takes away their dignity.

[Muffled]
Who would be capable of the cruel act,

over the years
to pile up dozens of corpses?

[Speaking aloud again] For too long we have
ignored Paul Möbius for too long.

Nobody knows what is going on in his
sick mind is going on.

Now they will find out.
Too late.

Paul? This is Roland.

I just want to talk...
I just want to talk for a moment.

[sound of glass bottles]

[Metal hinge]

[steps on the upper floor]

[Metal hinge]

[Metal hinge]

[Metal hinge]

Paul?

[Metal hinge]

[Roland] I'm coming up now.

Paul... It's me, Roland. The...

The son of Justus Voit.

It wasn't me.
It was the... little hunter.

But you won't catch him.
You won't get me either.

You do not make me
one of you.

Nobody will catch you.
You know who I am?

Yes... You're one of them.

I see you. Every time,
you come. You come at night.

You were there yesterday.
You think I don't notice.

It was the little hunter.

You'll never find him.
No one knows where he is.

[Paul] They come at night.

The man with the black hat
and the great hunter.

But the little hunter is clever.
Clever!

I need reinforcements now!
[Roland] Who are they?

The ones with two faces.
The ones who never sleep.

You're one of them,
I know that.

You are testing me.
The great hunter sent you.

I don't know what you're talking about.
-They want me to serve them.

But I don't do that.

[Paul] [unintelligible]

[Roland] [unintelligible]

Well, all of them! They all look away.
And they see everything!

Yes, and you don't look away, Paul.

What do they look like?
The little hunter and the big hunter?

[Paul] You know
that I'm not allowed to say that!

You would k*ll me, you are one
one of them. -What, why do you think that?

Your father... does what they say.

You mean Arthur Kring.
Your neighbor. You're talking about Arthur.

They'll k*ll me,
if I say anything!

You're here to k*ll me.

No, I just want to talk.
Arthur Kring,

your neighbor.
Are you afraid of him?

I know nothing!

You say,
my father does what they say?

I don't know him.

I don't know you.
I don't know anyone!

Are you talking about Justus Voit?

I don't know!
Leave me alone at last!

Put the g*n down! Put your hands over your head!

I knew it!
-Hands over my head!

I knew it!
-Put the g*n down.

There are body parts outside.
-You put them there!

You're like your father.
You won't get me! Never!

Paul, as children
we were always on your farm

and we wanted to steal things,
as a test of courage. -Voit!

We were always terrified
of you. -Go to the side.

Should people be afraid of you?
No, no...

Go to the side.

Paul, give me the g*n.
Please give me the g*n.

Give me the g*n.

It's all good.
[Whispering] Give me that, give me that.

Stanislaw, I've got the g*n here.

I have the g*n. It's all clear.

[Seeger] Thank you very much for coming.
Thank you very much.

[Don't let it get you down.

Thank you.

A long time ago.

How are you?

I'm sure you keep copies
of your autopsy reports.

Of course. That is, for ten years.

What makes you think
that I'm looking for an older man?

I don't know what you're looking for.
I'm just telling you how it is.

What's it all about?

About my brother's file.

So it's about one,
who is older than ten years.

Please have a look.
Maybe we'll be lucky.

Maggie, what do you want with it?

I mean,
you saw Kai's body yourself.

You were here.

[Closing a door]

[Sad music]

As expected,
I no longer have a copy.

Too long ago.

Want to check for yourself?

Still sure,
that he drowned?

That it was an accident?

Are you going to start again now?

Your brother rests in peace.

Leave it at that.

Rainer Seidel
was found in the pile of corpses.

Sooner or later you will find his
wife and eventually...

...they will look at Kai's grave
again.

What are you getting at?

I just wanted to see
how you reacted.

[Sirens in the distance]

[Ominous music]

[Paul, quietly] What are you doing?
damn it. Leave me alone.

You've got the wrong one.

You don't even know
what's going on.

Leave me alone! What do you want from me?

They'll k*ll us all!

You have no idea,
what you're dealing with here!

They'll get you all.
You're already dead.

[Goldhofer] Come along.

Zajak, we're going to the hospital.

The survivor is conscious
and says something in Polish.

You have to translate.

Boarding.

[Adrian] You don't dare anyway,
to steal anything.

[Adrian! Leave Kai alone.

[I'm not afraid
of powder Paul. I can do it.

[Roland]
Then show us what you've got.

Guys, I've changed my mind.
We shouldn't be here.

That's stupid.
[Roland] Don't sh*t yourself Adrian.

Okay. Let's go.

[Are you sure?

If he wants to belong to us,
then he must.

See that helmet there? Go get it.

Then you can
the whole summer with us.

Told you he wouldn't go through with it
through. Pure waste of time.

Adrian, stop it.

[squeaking iron hinge]

sh*t!

[Whispering] Adrian! Voit!

Kai!

[Slow, muffled breathing]

No!

[Ominous music
and whispering voices]

Don't worry, little hunter.
I'm not one of them.

Close close close.

You know that feeling, don't you?

Either you turn the thing around...
or it will always be pointed at you.

[Dog barking gets louder]

[policeman]
Search the entire area.

[Kai!

Stand still.

Kai?

Kai?

They are like me.

Everyone hates leeches.
But they don't hurt anyone.

Are good for the ecosystem.

But people don't know that.

I will
be alone for the whole summer.

You can still
always come with us.

Voit won't let me.

So this is where you always go?

I won't tell anyone
about your hiding place. I promise.

[clinking of metal pieces]

[Loud breathing]

We have not yet
not yet identified.

He is barely responsive.

This may be the last chance
to learn anything from him.

[Beeping ECG]

[respirator blows]

[What about it?
-We don't know yet.

[patient] [moans]

So what does he say?

Can't understand anything.

Thank you.

[Zajak, Polish] Can you write it down or draw it?
write it down or draw it?

Pen.

[Murmuring]

You stay here.
In case he does say something.

Hi, I'm Maggie Kring.
Does Adrian Demko still live here?

Who is that again?
Huh?

Maggie?

Hi.

Come here.

[Sobs]

[Adrian] [Laughs]

What are you doing here?

I don't know what to say,
what to say.

You don't have to say anything.

Are you hungry?

Mm-mm.
-May I introduce?

My Polish nurse
nurse Marek.

Do what I can no longer do
with my crippled legs.

Do you really want nothing?

No, thanks.

You have it nice here.

Oh, yes...

Yes, after my father died,
I redid the whole place.

I didn't know he was dead.
I'm sorry.

So... what gives me the honor?

[Sighs]
Edith's house is crawling with policemen.

They even share the beds.
[Smiles]

So I have enough space here.

Can... stay here,
as long as you want.

Could do with a visit.

Thank you.

Oh come on,
don't look at me like that.

I'm fine. I really am.

We shouldn't have
should not have left you here alone.

Oh, stop it now.

You're not
responsible for me.

I'm glad that
you made it out of here.

Uh, thanks.

Do you still remember
the test of courage with Pulver Paul?

Oh yes...

When Kai was supposed to steal the steel helmet.

I've sh*t myself.
-We all did.

Well, not you.
You got Kai out of there.

Do you think Paul would have done something to Kai?

I have no idea.

Of course I was afraid of him back then.
Everyone avoided him.

But am I still
still afraid of it?

Well, not until yesterday.

I saw them
how they arrested him.

[doorbells]

It's me, Roland. [Knocks]

Is this going to be
a reunion, or what?

[Laughs.]

[Marek] Well?
[Roland] Is Maggie here?

Tell me, the three of us here now
all in one room?

There's no such thing!
-Maggie? Can we talk for a minute?

Nope.
You're not taking that away from me now.

This needs to be celebrated.
Come and sit down.

Adrian,
I don't have time for this right now.

We'll make up for it, I promise.

When then?
The next time in 30 years?

Yes, well, I have to talk to you anyway.
-Yes then, wonderful!

Marek, would it be ok
if you went out for a minute?

Thank you.

Maggie told me
that you arrested Paul?

Well, it seems
that he is one of the perpetrators, yes.

We were in his house.
Completely crazy.

Looks exactly how we always imagined it
always imagined.

I'm not allowed to tell you that.

You can't talk to anyone
about this, okay?

They found body parts,
on his property.

There are similarities
with the dead from the mountain of corpses.

sh*t.

Mm-mmh.

I think
that answers your question.

We could have landed on the heap
we could have ended up on the heap. -Look.

The survivor from the mountain of corpses,
who...

drew this.

Have you seen this before?

Nope.

Maggie?

Mm-mm.

Didn't he say anything?
-That's the only thing,

what we could get out of him.

One more thing.
Paul was talking totally crazy.

Without context. But one thing
he always repeated.

He said "it was the little hunter",

and that
"you will never find him".

He kept saying
"great hunter"...

"little hunter".

Does that make sense to you?
-No.

Never heard of it.

Maggie?

Um... Everything okay?

I was with your father. [Sniffs]

I was also with Seeger. He's lying.

What are you doing?

This is about more than just Paul.

Don't think that's where it ends.

You can't trust anyone here.
Not me. Not even yourself.

I thought it was an accident,
it was an accident,

when I shot my father
when I shot my father.

I also thought I'd seen Kai's
Kai's body. I wanted to see it.

But everyone stopped me.
You stopped me.

This case
depends on old memories.

And memories are...

...they can be fed to you.
If you are hungry for explanations,

you eat everything,
you can get.

Not much has changed, has it?

[door opens]

[alarm signal]

No pulse. Zero line.


[zero line beeps]

The survivor
died a few minutes ago.

[translated into Polish]

His identity
is still unknown.

[translated into Polish]

We have nothing from him,
except this drawing.

[translated into Polish]

The good news:
-[translated into Polish]

The correspondence between the remains found at Paul
Möbius remains found at...

[translated into Polish]

...with the bodies at the site...

[translated into Polish]

...leave little doubt,
that Möbius was involved in the murders...

[translated into Polish]

...and/or the construction
of the pile of corpses.

[translated into Polish]

However, it is unlikely
that he acted alone.

[translated into Polish]

He is seriously mentally ill.

[translated into Polish]

Evening.

[talk of the people standing around]

[Forensic scientists talk]

We still can't get
nothing out of him yet.

[translated into Polish]

But that's only a matter of time.
-[translated]

We have experts,
who talk to him. -[translated]

Excuse me. You should come
and have a look.

Who?
-I think... All of you.

[Over here!

All units in the main tent.

[agitation]

[Ominous music swells up]

[Whispering voices]
