01x01 - Böser Bub

Post by bunniefuu »

Oida, it's already after nine.

Wupp shouldn't hang around in the
evil Rosenheim for so long, or what?

This is the last
bus to Kolbermoor.

Then yes.

Are these menthol ummis?

And.

Without a tail.

You take one too.

Please don't, hey.
I am going to vomit.

What are you doing today?

I'll check in later.

So the cops can
bring you home again?

We won't fight again.

I'm faster than
them, I'm telling you.

Yes, but not if you
run in circles like a puff.

You're so funny, hey.
I'm happy to pack it.

HI.

You are a very bad child.

Simon!

I should have done something.
Start walking. Or help.

But at first I thought it was just
him having fun or something.

And then I leave too late.

It's not your fault, Jonas.

You said Simon was
dragged to the car.

How come? Was that a
person who baked it or...

I don't know.

Is it possible that...

Simon screamed.

And then he was just gone.

There's definitely some
completely random sh*t going on.

f*ck.

Jonas, Inspector Faltner, would
like to ask you a few more questions.

But when you
need a break, right?

Mr Cross, what...

Mr. Faltner.

Stefan Schwab, good afternoon.

I've looked at this long enough
now and so far we have nothing,

but we also really didn't learn anything
that would take us even a millimeter further.

Excuse me.

It's not your fault, Jonas.

Herr Falkner.

Jonas.

So I don't necessarily
need you here if you...

Minor witnesses are entitled
to psychological support.

So it was a delivery truck.

Yes, one of those without
a window on the side.

Which brand?

I think it was white.

Excellent. Of course
the color helps too.

And completely dirty.

How dirty? Dust, sausage or
other dirt? And where exactly?

Something like
that with the wheels.

At the wheels.

Excuse me I...

And then someone came
out of the car, isn't that right?

Yes I think so.

What do you mean, I think so?

Well, because first I heard the door
and then there was this rope or something.

Or something like that?

Can you describe the rope in more detail?
So was it hanging down or was it thrown?

Did it have a knot or a loop?

A noose, exactly. A noose.
And it was around Simon's neck.

And then?

The scream and then the
door again and he was gone.

Now let's listen carefully. You
also want us to find your friend,

before someone does
something bad to him, right?

Jonas, will you excuse us for a moment?
Mr. Kreuz, do you have a moment for me?

Was?

Krause, thank you.

What are you actually thinking about, calling
the door like the donkey from the last bench?

I wanted to praise you.

I'm sorry, what?

You really think it's great.
Massive stress from threats. Perfect.

Just made fun of me?

Oh, it's not funny at all. The boy can't get a
word out and you can't get any useful information.

Mister...

Schwab? Stefan? Schwab?

Mr. Schwart, are you explaining to
me how to carry out an interrogation.

An interrogation.

Was?

Jonas is not suspicious.

He's a witness and a victim, so this isn't
an interrogation, it's an interrogation.

Now listen to me,
you smart smurf.

What do you think will happen if the 65,000
residents of Rosenheim plus 3,500 tourists

and now also notice 8,500
trade fair visitors every day,

that a child was kidnapped
in our tranquil town?

I need results
before this blows up.

Mr. Kreuz, of course
I understand that.

And at the same time we
want reliable information?

I want a statement that will
help us identify the perpetrator.

And the boy in there
is our only witness.

So I'll make sure he speaks.

No, you won't.

As the supervising psychologist, I
hereby terminate the interrogation.

I'm continuing you as
senior criminal director.

In doing so, you are violating the statutes
regarding the police interrogation of minors.

Mr. Kreuz, we will receive the videos from the
surveillance cameras at the crime scene today.

We probably see
more than the boy saw.

We expect a written evaluation including the little
trees that the little rocket has unearthed for us.

We do. Will be done.

Stefan, does it have
what you need now?

Yes. Now let's send the
poor boy home, shall we?

So now we're all looking
for people with white vans?

If that's our only clue, yes.

There's one or two...

Should I arrest
them all now, right?

Three four...

And all the delivery people
in custody until they tell me

why my packages always end
up on the neighbor's terrace.

Stefan, Ms. Sali, thank you.

It is enough.

Ms. Leitner, what
about the videos?

I call the city administration
every half hour.

but they take forever again.

Sorry.

How about the camera opposite?

Herr Oberreuther?

Um, private.

We don't even know if
the camera was rolling.

The owner's daughter takes
care of it, but she's still at school.

Well, first of all, thank you.

Oh, by the way, this
is Stefan Schwab.

Most people here
don't know him yet.

Already.

Not me yet.

Hello.

Now me too.

But you don't need to
remember my name.

I'm almost gone again.

I would not be
so sure about that.

Really now?

Here we go.

sh*t.

Nix!

You have to get from back there.

If so, then according
to our old rule.

Nothing nothing.

That was just a test.

Now let's get started.

Whatever you mean.

Oh, by the way, thank you first.

Yes, now I remember
why I left two years ago.

And this cross is really
incompetence personified.

And a monstrous a*s too.

An a*s!

I shouldn't have been persuaded.

Come on, I know you.

You're bored.

I have my appointments at the psychological
counseling center in Miesbach.

At least I can do
something about it.

And the people are
all nice and friendly.

And my sister's Gnorn, she
runs with the Efreidei lollipops.

My dear, I would wash the
girl like that for three hours,

that afterwards you can only
recognize them by their name step.

Stefan, you're not
feeling well, are you?

Oh Thomas, I...

You were so good at your job.

For the victims and
for the investigation.

You now have a
young, dynamic team.

What do you need me for?

You know that very well.

That's right, so I can solve
your cases and ruin my marriage.

Thanks, it worked.

How are you doing
there, Susanne?

What do I know?

Well, that's all right.

Thomas, please, for the sake of
our friendship, find someone else.

I can not do this anymore. If I
see the cross again I'll get a rash.

f*ck the cross now, damn it.

You're f*cking Stefan
now, I need you.

For the parents of the children.

The cross really wants
to keep the lid on it.

He wouldn't even need
victim support for the people.

How many?

Five. Within the
last three days.

All in the Rosenheim district.

The youngest is twelve.

Stefan, now please!

All right, send me an
email with the addresses.

Thanks.

Good afternoon, Ms. Haller.

Aha, he showed up again.

Unfortunately no, but
I'm here to talk to you.

I am the supervising...

I told the others
everything, okay?

I am the supervising psychologist
and wanted to address you...

I don't need a
psycho, Heinz, okay?

But Simon needs one.

Pussyla, yes pussyla, mom is
coming soon, then you give it a go.

We just have to wait until
the bad man is gone again.

I'm really just here to...

Come back when
you find us someone.

No, better yet, just hold it.

Here's my card if you
still need someone.

This Ms. Stöhr simply
can't have children anymore.

And at some point our
Vanessa loses her patience.

Vanessa, that's
enough. Go with me.

I um, I can't handle
this situation...

She just had the
pen in her hand.

She just defended herself.

The sturgeon should please
keep her hands to herself.

But our Vanessa has
an aggression problem.

Ridiculous!

Tee?

No thanks.

I'd like to talk to you about
honor, if that's okay with you.

Please, I don't understand
my son anymore.

Yes it is okay. If you don't come, you
can get your victim somewhere else.

That's why I was
strict with him.

I am so sorry.

Haffbett, please.

While you thought you were Enemie,
Schehe jabbten. Suchschlammer to yourself.

I am here to support
you in this situation.

You are a good person.
They want to help.

I try it.

Mr. Schwab, how come?

Hello, Ms. Leitner.

Anna Leitner, Head of Department for Digital
Investigation and Data Protection, exactly.

At your request, the falconer
didn't introduce us earlier.

Where is he?

He's from home,
as he always says.

I assume kebab.

Yes, nothing has changed
here in the last two years.

Seems like it, yes.

Can I help you then?

Yes, perhaps.

I was just wondering if there was anything
new I could share with the families.

So far there is no indication that the
other children were also kidnapped.

Let's hope so.

Did the surveillance cameras
reveal anything usable?

We're still waiting for it.

It should be here this morning.

Data protection.

Oh, aha.

Yes, it has to be clarified
beforehand, there's nothing you can do.

And the camera at the kiosk?

Ha!

Is it okay from the
city government?

Yes!

Finally.

It's already clear to you that
the cross is getting pissed,

if I have to look at
you with it, right?

One more reason in favor of it.

Can you see it that clearly?

Psychologist.

Aha, the profiler
from Rosenheim.

From Miesbach, please.
I don't live here anymore.

Why do you move from
Rosenheim to Miesbach?

Because the ex-wife wants to keep the house
and the ex-husband in there is a nuisance.

And what does the
ex-husband say about it?

He discovered that the
distance was good for him.

Well, then both of
them are helped. Fine.

Please.

Maybe you see
something psychological.

Certainly.

Okay.

There's the make of the vehicle.

Very good.

Yes, but you can't
see the license plate.

That would be too easy.

Here comes Simon.

Was?

So what is that?

Maybe a playback error?

That's impossible.

f*ck.

Hi. Do you have?

Hey, great. We're in the data
center. Yes. see you soon.

The shots from the
camera opposite?

Yes, on an SD card.

So.

Hi.

Hello.

Hi.

Hello.

Okay, let's get started.

Now.

What?

This can not be!

My aunt only makes
videos like this.

There are often times
when there are problems.

Depending on the
quality of the camera.

Okay, two different cameras
with different image sensors,

different recording formats,

one 16 frames per
second and the other 30

and still exactly
the same problem?

Okay, that...

Can't be, exactly!

Photoshop maybe?

Do you think the errors
were edited into the video?

It could be.

We popped the SD card
out of the camera ourselves.

Yes, just take it out, swap
the video and put it back in.

And then quickly let the small
screws rust back into place.

Ah, okay.

Ah, sh*t.

What is that?

Bars?

A cage.

And this one?

Is that an arm?

Well, it was rolled
up into a blanket.

What is this?

Group therapy?

Mr Cross.

No, everyone here enjoys
excellent mental health.

Why do you need a psychologist?

And here of all places?

We have new insights, Mr. Cross.

Aha. And what would they be?

The model of the car.

And an indication that the crime
was planned for the long term.

Because?

Because there may be some
kind of cage built in there.

This can be anything.

But this could be an arm.

Leave the interpretation
and leave the professor.

That right there, that could
be a clue to who owns the car.

But the writing was removed.

And painted over. But it's still
darker where the letters were.

Flowers, Berne, Berno...

Back again.

Flowers, Bernauer.

Rosenheim, flowers, Bern.

Then this happened
straight away.

What are you waiting
for? Make a note and go?

Yes indeed.

And from now on, Mr. Schwab, you were flying around
somewhere else and not in my department's data center.

Are we clear?

I just wanted to be helpful.

If you want to be helpful, let
the professionals do their job.

That's not what he meant.

Please don't.

Seriously?

I actually wanted to call ahead,
but it's easier to say no on the phone.

And what exactly was I
supposed to say no to?

Faltner found me a job
here in Rosenheim and...

Are you working
for the police again?

No, not actually.
So, yes, but...

Stefan, what do you want here?

My car won't start anymore. Because
of the trade fair, all hotels are closed.

I can no longer get from
Rosenheim to Miesbach.

And as far as I remember, there is a
guest room here in our former shared house.

Thanks.

It's actually quite good that you're
here. I wanted to talk to you anyway.

Can we please postpone this until the
morning? I'm really completely screwed.

And I have to tell you honestly that
I'm pretty happy being alone like this.

With us it's easy...

Hello!

Hohoho.

Franz, this is Stefan.

The Stefan?

Ex-husband and
wannabe detective, yes.

Stefan, this is Franz, my friend,
pastor in the Protestant community.

A priest, right.

Good day.

Yes, hello.

How long have you been here?

Half a year.

Why?

Feigned interest.

Please don't laugh at his jokes, that was
one of a thousand reasons for the breakup.

Oh, it's like I never left.

Now I have to ask the stupid
question, why are you here?

You left the lights on in the car and
that's why the battery is now all right?

Perhaps.

Yes, my, that happens.

It's fine, we have
a guest room there.

I know.

That's right, you.

They were...

I see you two get along.

I still have some
paperwork to do.

And and.

Gut.

Okay, come on in.

There was always
a sofa bed here.

Yes, it's under there.

Wait a minute, I'll
do it, you're the guest.

Pastor, then.

Are you not a believer?

In negative territory.

Yes, there are many.

I don't have a
problem with that.

What if you had a
problem with that?

Holy water bath, burn short
Feech into the forehead.

What you do as a pastor.

But you are Protestant.

I copied the good
things from the others.

I can see that the two of us will get
along really well as soon as I leave again.

I'm going to open a
bottle of wine for us now.

Thanks.

I'm leaving. Stop,
stop, I've had enough.

Also.

A child was kidnapped.

A teenager, yes. And four
more have disappeared.

Everyone kidnapped too.

We do not know that, yet. But no
one is really allowed to do that now.

Yes, please, priest.
Confidentiality.

Pastor's wife. I'm sorry, what?

Not yet. Now come on, tell me.

Oh, are we with
you yet? Yes indeed.

But that happened
quickly. Yeah is not it?

Come on. The two of
us really stick together.

Yes, we don't know more yet.

One was kidnapped,
but whether the others?

And all within so few days.

And all of them
are difficult to pull.

I know that face.

Was?

I won't do this again.
Stop doing that.

But you've only just begun.

This is a reference to countless
nights when I lay awake and pondered.

And then you watched TV or strummed your
guitar for hours or played video games or...

To distract me.

Yes, and me too...

...you can close the door.

I can't sleep with
the door closed.

Yes, and I can't sleep
with the door open.

Mama, Mama, Mama, Mama, please
my little sheep, thank you very much, yes?

Stefan, you stopped
at Sweden educator.

Yes, that's the only
connection at the moment.

Maybe Krampus
put them in his sack.

You mean Knecht Ruprecht?

Certainly not at
this time of year.

That wasn't meant
seriously either.

On me.

Suppose all the children
were kidnapped by one person,

which acts as a moral authority,

by punishing bad children.

So you mean someone
thinks they're a Krampus?

Well, for someone suffering from
primary symptoms of schizophrenia,

it might feel like that.

Alright, enough flashback
for today. I go to bed.

Breakfast is at 8,
otherwise just pull the door.

Okay.

See you later, Sparrow.

See you later, Mausler.

Mausler.

So the perpetrator could be
a self-proclaimed punisher?

But not the Krampus.

He doesn't have a bag either.

He has a cage and
some kind of stinge.

And he said you're
a really bad child.

I know.

Apparently.

Where from?

From my childhood.

Mausl?

Mauslinger!

Please do not speak with
the toothbrush in your mouth.

What's up?

Where can I find your Bavarika?

And now quiet! Put the lid on and then put the
oranges up. But everything is cleaned up again!

Thanks!

Burm and Madl, hear me out.
I'll tell the story of Kraxlmann.

Kraxlman.

The first few days, he just goes
around. Look when he can cramp well.

He's not stupid. He chooses it carefully, the
devil, the little one. There's just enough of that,

more than one. Then he starts,
throws the noose and circles.

Noose, exactly one noose
and it was around Simon's neck.

Then it's stuck in
Kraxen, Nadel and Buhr.

If you haven't been good, make
sure he never doesn't find you.

Or better yet, don't
be a really bad child.

What is he doing
with the children?

At first the children
bawl, but then they stare.

Because the Kraxl man

and had a murderous hunger.

Because the Kraxl man

You're a really bad child

and had a murderous hunger.

You're a really bad child.

Then it's in Kraxl.

Kraxl.

The Kraxl.

The perpetrator kidnapped the
children because they were naughty?

Are we in kindergarten?

I realize that sounds strange.

Unusual? That sounds stupid.

Then tell me another motif that
combines everything we know so far.

One? Hundreds.

Murderous desire, sexual motives,
pathological desire to have children.

Mr. Kreuss, the behavior of children and
young people is a common denominator.

A common denominator. You can't
count to one for a kidnapped child.

What if all the missing
children were kidnapped?

What if I told you that you
were k*lling my last nerve?

This flower Bernauer
has a Kraxentick.

A Kraxen tic?

Don't you see?

The similarity between
you and the garden gnome.

He has hundreds of
Kraxen in his shop.

Because someone puts their
flowers in historical wooden pots,

Should I turn one
kidnap victim into five?

And about the noose.

And the clues to the cage in
which he collects his victims.

As far as I'm concerned,
he puts them in his sack.

That would be Krampus,
that doesn't suit the season.

That doesn't suit the season.

Look, by the standards of black pedagogy,
these children all need to be punished

and in the case of Kraxelmann,
in the most cruel way.

With a ban on cell phones.

He eats her up.

Schwab, now leave
my office immediately.

Mr. Cross, please.

One kidnapping
case is enough for me.

I don't need any psycho idiots
fantasizing more cases for me

from a damn Struwelpeter book.

Another child is missing.

How old?



Hard to educate?

Known to police.

Anything else?

Yes, the foster parents' immediate
neighbors heard a scream

and saw a white van
driving away at high speed.

If I admit to you that we are
dealing with a serial criminal,

Then finally leave my office and
take your horror fairy tales with you.

Yes, I can go.

Gut.

But I'm afraid the horror stories
will stick around for a while.

I just got my bag...

What's wrong with you?

I went to see the criminal director
and told him about Kraxlmann.

And?

How about a coffee?

There's no harm in
at least considering

that I don't just talk
complete bullshit.

Yes, put one or
two people on it.

Take a quick read
through the old stories.

Be open to the fact that someone
might be inspired by these stories.

What are you doing?

Oh, food tafisarians. Globules
against increased irritability.

Thanks.

Gladly.

Well, I have to go to
the café again soon.

The accounting for the tax
must be finished tomorrow.

It's fine. I'll take care of it.

Thanks.

I don't need pastoral care.

Wouldn't you like to at
least finish your coffee?

What I don't understand is
why they haven't found it yet.

I mean, these days a
car doesn't just disappear.

Yes, in the city maybe,
but in the country...

...lots of forest, small paths, not
even a helicopter can help you.

Or he just drove
into a parking garage.

Yes, but then he would be in the middle of the
surveillance cameras. I do not believe that.

I saw the videos
of the kidnapping.

As dirty as the car was, he must have
been racing through the middle of nowhere.

Yes, was it more dusty,
like dry earth or sand?

Hard to say.

But it was more like driving
through mud. Multiple.

But if he really kidnapped so many
children, then it must be a remote place.

Yes, but not too far away because he
can always get back to the city quickly.

The police haven't
figured it out yet.

They definitely are, but...

Schwab, hello?

Anna Leitner here. I got your
number from Mr. Faltner. How are you?

It's all ok. I have coffee,
globules and a confessor.

What's new?

The car was not reported stolen.

So is it the
Blumenberner himself?

In any case, he wasn't at home
or in his shop for a long time.

And what...

At Kreuz's announcement, we comb through everything
in a star pattern from the high-rise development.

How? But nothing outside?

Yes, far too
little, I think too.

But the press got
wind of the kidnappings.

sh*t.

And the Cross wants people to
see the police on the streets now.

Yes, well, I
understand that, but...

Mr. Leitner?

I have to quit. I will call you.

I have to talk to
the cross again.

As I understand your relationship,
you then do exactly the opposite.

Moment. When did
the first child disappear?

On Tuesday. Why?

Because I found another
rant from the noisemaker.

Take a look.

The next day he
empties the Kraxen.

The boys and girls fall
out. She then writes it down,

No, in the basement, with
one kick, people go faster.

The next day he sharpens the
knives for hours when it snows better.

Now there's death in the
forest, now the stream turns red.

And on the fourth day, at night,
the first children are slaughtered.

On the fourth. Tuesday
Wednesday Thursday.

f*ck.

You don't really think he's
trying to copy the fairy tale?

If he thinks he's the
Kraxlmann, then yes.

He thinks he's the
Kraxlmann, I'm sure of that.

I mean, everything he does, how he
does it and the things he does it with.

Exactly, this is so
close to the original.

Okay, where could he be?

I'll get my tablet.

Then we look at the satellite images
and mark the most likely locations.

You don't want to...

What else?

That's a matter for the police.

Which may come too late.

Damn it, Thomas,
answer it, answer it.

Thomas, call me back. It's about the
Kraks, about the children. It's urgent.

The Faltner only listens to
his mailbox every 1000 years.

Would you like to
send the message?

I'm already there, but he always
only reads them at home in the evening.

Was?

Faltner is... No matter,
I'll call Ms. Leitmann.

sh*t, sh*t, sh*t.

All right, let's go. I can be reached in the
café via landline. I leave my cell phone loud.

Let me know if you find out anything. I'll then
forward it. I see where Stefan's cell phone is.

Wait, you still have my
phone in your enemy form?

Yes, be happy.

Stefan, please send me this Ms.
Leitner's number. I need that again too.

Power bank for cell phone, wardrobe, top drawer, fully
charged. Oh God, I feel like I'm growing bigger every day.

Admit it, you missed it.

No.

We have to go.

At least they look
for it there too.

The first blue light in an hour. I'll take
another look at the satellite images.

Susanne, nice greetings.

Greetings from the mouse shop.

Thanks. Smack back.

You can still get this
far. I'll ask you out loud.

I found something
on mythologias.de.

Listen.

Then he runs with
the screaming children

in the basket away
into a dark forest.

He has his hut there

and he hoards the bad
little ones in the cellar.

Down there they will

now devoured one by one.

Susanne, we've known
that for a long time.

If then the Kraxlmann in one day

Caught many, he throws the rest into
the nearby swamp, directly behind the hut.

A hut in the swamp?

Stupid because the
car gets so muddy.

Swamp, swamp, swamp.

The Stuxdorfer Moos.

The Stuxdorfer Moos?

The nature reserve.

There's a flock of birds down there
that definitely keeps things very quiet.

Hey, great. Thank you
Susanne, thank you.

Drive you.

Is this really the right way
into the nature reserve?

There is only the Orner.

Then it's probably
the right one.

That's what it looks like.

The footprint is still very fresh and moist and deep,
as if it had carried something heavy or someone.

Hello, Ms. Leitner? Hello? Easy talk?
Yeah, sh*t. Yes, maybe SMS will work.

I'll send you Susanne a
message and a map link.

What do you think, are they
still coming and if so, when?

It depends on where they start from and how
long it takes them to babble on the cross.

Meanwhile, the one down there is eating the
children together. We have to get in there.

And maybe screw everything up?
My, oh my, then we won't screw it up.

Oh, you can choose, yes?

Come on now.

What is that?

Colt Peacemaker, Kaliber 45.

What kind of priest are you?

Was more prepared.

Nobody there?

What's up with them?

Yes, must have
given them something.

Or they're in shock, right?

We'll get them out of there now.

Hey!

Don't sh**t!

Exciting!

Excuse me.

Pull it!

I, I can help you.

I am a psychologist.

You're a really bad, bad doll.

What kind of priest are you?

And what kind of
psychologist are you?

It's over.

You are safe.

There's nothing
more you can do here.

We'll go upstairs
together now, okay?

Hey.

What's your name?

Vanessa.

I've already heard that.

Slowly slowly.

What is going on here?

Everything okay.

Are these the cops?

Yes, they're all
taking you home now.

Stefan, listen, this
is important now.

We tell the police
that the g*n was there.

Can you do that?

And.

That doesn't make
her very good at my job.

Do you understand?

Alright thanks.

Hello?

Are you down there, Stefan?

Yes, that's all fine.

RTW, immediately.

The main thing is that you are
having a worse day than me.

Legends, fairy tales and myths
from the Bavarian hinterland.

Mr. Schwab?

It begins.

Mr. Schwab, what
are you doing here?
