01x02 - The Hessels

[bunniefuu]

DAY 0

[people chanting, shouting]

Sweetie, can you take this?

Yes.

[sighs]

What are those for?

Tranquilizers. We'll have 'em

in case she makes trouble.

You really think we need all of those?

Well, that will be up to her,

won't it, now?

[giggles]

- [Wanda gasps]

- Why don't you watch out?

[Wanda] Gosh. I'm sorry.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

- There you go.

- Stop! Just let it go.

[Wanda] In 2004, the journalist Gwen Ifill

coined the term

"Missing White Woman Syndrome."

[tires screech]

It's basically about

the whole world going crazy

when a pretty white girl disappears.

Not that I'm saying I'm pretty.

And then you have people

that the world never takes notice of.

[echoed backwards shouting]

[Wanda] The nerds.

[muffled dialogue]

[muffled dog barking]

[dog barking]

["Machu Picchu", The Strokes]

- [fans cheering, clamoring]

- [whistle blows]

- [teenager] Hey, dude.

- [teenager 2] All good?

- Yeah, all good.

- [indistinct]

If we have a free kick, I'll do it, okay?

Yeah, sure.

Pretty sweet wheels, huh?

Uh

- Do you live around here?

- Yeah.

Is it always this strange?

Mm-hmm

Is there anywhere I can find a flat white

without having to order it

with cow's milk

like we're still living in the Stone Age?

[chuckles] Bella's on Main Street

is really good.

Thank you, hon.

No problem.

Well? Who was that girl

you were just talking to?

- [car engine starts]

- No idea.

- You're pretty early.

- Yeah.

- Excited about the game?

- Uh, yeah.

Yeah? Something to drink?

- I'll have a cola, please.

- Mm-hmm.

Your old man is inside with Karl.

Should I put it on his tab?

- Yeah.

- Mmm.

- Should I tell him that you're out here?

- Uh, I'd rather not.

Okay.

How are things going with you, huh?

Do you have a girlfriend?

Anyone in sight?

Well?

Watch out, all you girls!

[laughs]

Cola's on its way.

[cheerleaders] Let's go, Sundersheim!

Let's go, Sundersheim!

[cheering, shouting continues]

Thanks.

[Wanda] Now I get why Ole agreed to go

to all of those soccer matches with Dad.

The problem is, if you spend your life

flying under the radar,

when you finally do wanna be noticed,

it's not that easy.

DAY 0

DAY 70

[Alex, friend chattering indistinctly]

[phone clicking]

[Alex] So, do you already have tickets

for Games World?

- Bro, I'm broke, seriously.

- Mm-hmm.

Dude, get your sh*t together.

ShadowStrike is hosting a tournament.

It's gonna be sick.

- [friend] I just don't have the money

- [horn honks]

[mic feedback echoing]

- Sweetie, ready to head out?

- [Alex] Yeah.

- You gonna be online later?

- Probably, yeah.

Apex at five. Okay?

- We'll lead, a'right?

- [Alex] Sure.

- [friend] What's up, dude?

- [friend 2] All good?

Yeah, totally.

What are you looking at, huh?

- [engine starts]

- [vehicle departs]

[Wanda] They say love always finds a way,

but it doesn't hurt

to jump-start it a bit.

[instructor] In this video,

I will show you how to pick a lock.

- Slowly insert your tension wrench

- Hmm

and turn it until you can feel

some resistance.

[Carlotta]

So I think we should start here,

at the clothes bin in the center,

and then spiral out.

Mm-hmm.

The one good thing

about having a total meltdown on TV

is that work was very happy

to offer me a 30-day sabbatical

so I have time to recover.

Ha-ha! Got it.

And you? Did you ask about

getting time off from your boss yet?

Hmm?

Uh, yeah, yeah.

Uh, that'll that'll be fine.

[Carlotta] Mm-hmm.

Good. Now I'll number the rest

of the houses right up to the line,

and then we'll start here at number two

with, um, Tannenring.

Okay.

Ooh, ooh!

- Ole, hey. Hi, Ole.

- Ole.

Uh, what what are you doing down here?

- Uh, just fixing something.

- Playing ping-pong.

Right, exactly. I was fixing something.

- Now we're playing ping-pong. Yes.

- Yeah.

And I'm winning.

[Ole] Sure. Okay.

Right. Um, so I'm gonna need a ticket

for Games World.

[Dedo] Mm-hmm.

Uh-huh. I see. What's "Games World"?

It's a gaming conference. Can I go to it?

- Um

- And how much are the tickets?

- 200 euros.

- [Dedo] 200 euros?

Ole, I thought the point of computer games

is, well, that you can play at home.

Come on, Dad, you don't understand.

What's his deal? 200 euros?

My first car cost less than that.

[door slams]

- You clearly don't get it.

- I do get it, but

[Rauch] On the phone, you said

you knew who abducted Wanda Klatt.

On Nuppelwocken Night, yes.

I saw them with my own eyes. Yes, I did.

[Rauch] Hmm.

That day, I was there in the woods

wassailing with the trees,

and renewing my spiritual defenses

all the while.

All of a sudden, there he is, and

[gasps] he was majestic!

I made a painting for you

in case it's useful.

Oh, you painted this yourself?

- Fantastic. Truly.

- Thanks.

Excellent use of time.

- Yeah. Thanks.

- You are welcome.

The next Nuppelwocken tour starts at 1:15.

These TV appeals always bring the crazies.

Why is everyone so obsessed

with this thing?

With the Nuppelwocken?

Well, it's our history.

You know that's not history, right?

Okay, legend, then.

CLOTHES + SHOES

[Carlotta] All right, we start right here,

here at the clothes bin,

and then we'll search one by one.

Let's go over the plan once again.

[grunts]

Dedo, be serious, now.

Okay. Got it.

So, I ring the doorbell.

Then check if the house is empty.

- If it is, I'll try to get in through

- [phone rings: rooster crowing]

Ole changed my text alert.

He felt it was hilarious.

Now I can't change it back, though.

Oh. It's from Ole. He's going on

about this Games World thing again.

Hey, listen, buddy.

200 euros is a lot of money.

Send.

- Yeah, thanks. Well, I

- [rooster ringtone plays]

Can you hold this?

He's telling me,

"ShadowStrike is hosting a tournament,

and it's gonna be a bad a*s."

Sorry, it's "badass."

- [phone beeps]

- And who is this ShadowStrike?

Not "Cellostrike."

[slowly] Sh Sh-ShadowStrike.

Send.

Ah.

All right, you think

that we could try and focus?

I got it! Honey, we got this.

Listen, I'll go to the house,

check if it's empty,

pick the lock, look around inside.

And if someone comes,

then you honk the horn and I'll run out.

- Yes.

- Hmm?

Ready?

I'm ready.

[children shouting in distance]

[dog barking in distance]

[doorbell rings]

[doorbell rings]

[barking continues]

[grunts]

[sighs]

[no audible dialogue]

[whispers] Yeah.

[exhales]

Okay, my friend.

Let's do this thing, all right?

[grunting]

You piece of sh1tting sh*t! Come on!

Why are you so shitty?

[groans] Oh, sh*t my a*s!

Carlotta?

Rüdiger?

- [sighs]

- What are you doing here, Sis?

Uh Well, what are you doing here?

- I live around the corner.

- [chuckles]

That's right.

- Saw you on TV yesterday.

- Ah.

How is everything?

Everything's great.

Just it was kinda

- You know, pretty

- What?

Intense, really.

- Yeah. Thanks for asking, Rüdiger.

- Mmm.

It's always nice to see you.

Dodo looked like such a ding-dong

on his tiny stool. [laughs]

Don't call him that.

What? Dodo or ding-dong?

I'm aware

that you're still upset with him

The cops came for me

and he was the reason!

Well, yes, that was unfortunate, but

Unfortunate? Oh!

Carlotta, he said, and I quote,

that I had "total kid diddler energy."

He was freaking exhausted.

And he was angry at you

for talking to that journalist lady.

Well, I didn't know she was a journalist.

Her Tinder profile said pastry chef.

- She totally messed with me.

- Oh, sh

Carlotta?

[Schellenberg] I can follow up

on the rest of the Wanda leads.

No need to waste your time.

[Rauch] Do you know how an oyster works?

They're filter feeders,

so they suck in all the crap,

and they filter out

everything that has no use.

Okay.

And every now and then,

a grain of sand is caught inside,

and that's when you find a pearl.

Is this a metaphor?

Yes, exactly.

What the hell are you doing, Carlotta?

Um, I I dropped the keys, so, uh

They're in the ignition.

Ah! [chuckles]

Yes.

Help me out!

[door creaks]

[wind howling]

[gasps]

Well, if Dodo wants

to repair the relationship,

then he will have to apologize.

Okay, that's fine.

- I'll have a word with him, yeah.

- Mmm.

Wait a minute.

- I know him.

- Who?

He's a teacher

at Wanda's school.

That guy's a teacher?

What does he teach? Steroids?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

- Oh, sh*t.

- Huh?

- [Carlotta] Oh, sh*t.

- [horn honking]

Oh, fu

[honking continues]

Hey! What the hell?

There was a, uh, a whole family of ducks

crossing the street.

[teacher] You're parked!

I'm an activist, all right?

[horn honks]

I'm really starting

to worry here, Carlotta.

[horn honking]

[neck cracks]

[neck cracks]

[knuckles crack]

[exhales]

[panting]

[exhales]

[loud rock music playing]

[grunting]

Hey! What you doing here? Huh?

Looking for a beatdown? [grunting]

Oh! Oh

[grunting]

[grunting, punching continues]

Carlotta! Start the car! Start the car!

- Are you okay?

- Go, go, go! Now, now, now, now!

[tires screeching]

[laptop trills]

- Hi.

- Hi.

What happened to you?

I tripped. Over a dog.

Where were you guys?

- Bowling.

- At the shop.

Okay, what's going on?

Two days ago, you show up

saying that Mom got bitten by a snake.

Now you look like you were hit by a truck

because you

"fell over a dog in a bowling alley."

This all has something to do with Wanda,

doesn't it?

Enough!

You always say

families don't lie to each other!

Okay, so, enough tell the truth!

[sighs]

Okay. Well, someone put Wanda's t-shirt

into a clothes donation bin here.

Why would they pick this particular bin

unless they were still near here, right?

Statistics suggest

that the odds of finding Wanda alive

drop after the first 100 days.

What day is today?

- Seventy.

- Seventy.

So your mom and I have decided

that for the next 30 days

we will do everything in our power

to find her.

We think Wanda is being held

in one of these houses.

Uh, so

So we're searching all of them.

You're planning to break into

all these houses?

We already did two.

So, then, it's only another

- Just like another 60.

- Sixty.

Another 60? Look at yourselves!

And that's after two houses.

Try another 60

and you'll end up in prison,

a mental hospital or a cemetery.

Ole, we really don't know

what else we can do here.

You really think we could find Wanda?

Yeah.

Fine.

But stop doing it like boomers.

Bugs. Digital surveillance.

- Be smart.

- [Carlotta] Mm-hmm.

And don't get caught.

Promise?

- Yeah.

- Mm-hmm.

I appreciate your honesty.

I feel like we've reached

a brand-new level of, you know, of trust,

as as a family.

So, I have your blessing

to go to Games World now?

- [Dedo] Mmm

- Good talk.

[Carlotta] Uh

- That was good.

- That That was Mm-hmm.

- That right there cost us 200 euros.

- Yeah.

- Yeah, it'll be all right.

- Hmm.

Hey. I finally got a hold of someone

about the surveillance camera

- at the donation bin.

- And?

The security service says the memory card

gets overwritten every six days,

because the boss gave the spare card

to his daughter

to take on her gap year.

What do you have there?

Just an old Beetle. It was noticed in town

on the day that Wanda went missing.

B-L-B. Where's that supposed to be?

Bad Berleburg. North Rhine-Westphalia.

- I ran the owner's plate, but no hits.

- Hmm.

Well, maybe they got

the license plate wrong?

That's very likely. Folks around here

don't seem to get much right.

- [scoffs]

- Take a look at this for me.

[Schellenberg] Mm-hmm.

Several statements about a black van

seen driving erratically.

Will do.

[PA system chimes]

[announcer on PA, indistinct]

Hello. Can I help you with something?

Um, we just wanted to, uh, uh, uh

We're looking for, uh

recording devices.

Mm-hmm. So, like video recorders

or like microphones?

Yeah, that's it.

What do you wanna do with them?

- Podcast.

- Watching birds. We

- [Dedo chuckles]

- We like to watch birds in our backyard.

But all of a sudden

we noticed they were dying.

- [Dedo] Dying, yes.

- So, uh

So we're looking for something

to, uh, monitor our our backyard.

Right, and I'll make a podcast,

you know, about all that.

Got it. I have just the thing.

This is a standard wildlife camera.

It works with a motion detector.

When it goes off, it records an image

onto the memory card,

which you can then easily view

on your computer.

- Mm-hmm.

- Mm-hmm.

Um, do you have anything

that can be watched from afar?

Sure, but it does mean

we start moving up the price range.

Yes, that

- No problem.

- No problem.

What's the best you have?

Oh, the best?

Ultra HD, 32-bit depth of color,

20 meters wireless range.

This baby here, ooh, is the Rolls-Royce

of surveillance cameras.

Anything smaller that you have?

Yeah, sure.

Uh, this one. The XR-98.

We meant really, really little.

Oh. You You mean like a bug.

Hmm.

Well, to be honest,

that stuff's a bit more specialized,

and pretty much kind of ill*gal.

- Oh. Mmm.

- Mm-hmm.

But there is one thing.

[thunderclap]

It says, "Directional microphones

were commonly used for espionage

during World w*r II."

So, why was it put

in that place's toy department?

Just Just go ahead

and point the thing towards the house

and we'll see what it does.

[thunder rumbling]

[shouting] Okay, can you hear me?

- [Carlotta] Loud and clear!

- Great!

Yeah, so great!

So, as long as these guys are okay

to open up their doors

and scream right at us,

yeah, it's all good!

Oh, you were being sarcastic.

I'll go inside.

Okay, can you hear me?

Testing, one, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.

I'm going up the stairs.

Testing, testing, testing.

[phone buzzes, rooster ringtone plays]

SUPERMAN, I CAN

ACTUALLY HEAR YOU!

Yeah? Awesome, honey. That's great.

Okay, I'm going back down the stairs

into the kitchen.

Once again, into the kitchen.

Delta one to Charlie one.

The bird is in the bush.

- And again, the bird is in the bush.

- [phone buzzes, rooster ringtone plays]

WHAT THE HELL

ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

Okay, moving over here.

Can you still hear me?

I'm in Wanda's room now.

[sighs] Wow.

I haven't been in here for a while.

[sighs]

Um

I'm sitting on her bed.

This is where I read her

all the Harry Potter books.

Three times.

She would get so mad

when I didn't do all the different voices.

But there were so many voices.

By Prisoner of Azkaban,

I was was really scraping the barrel.

I miss her so much, Carlotta.

I miss all the dumb tiny things.

The way she rolled her eyes

when I told a joke,

but then she would

still have a grin on her face.

I miss how

how she would give me this look

whenever you were telling me off.

Like she was trying to make me laugh

to get you even more angry.

[phone buzzes]

I MISS HER TOO.

And I also miss you.

- [Carlotta] Okay, next house.

- [Dedo] Yeah.

[Carlotta] You listening?

- I'll hold it steady.

- [Dedo] Okay.

[Carlotta grunting]

- Okay.

- We're starting?

- It'll be great.

- Okay.

A little to the right.

Slowly, slowly. Yes.

- There's There's a dog

- [dog barking]

That sounds like that ankle biter

of your cousin's.

Okay. Further?

Yeah. A bit further left.

Further. Stop. Stop, stop, stop!

- [sirens wailing]

- Okay. I I hear something.

- [action music playing, tires screech]

- I can hear a TV, yeah.

It's Yep, I think

I'm pretty positive that it's The Fast

and The Furious. It's one of those.

- Dedo, do you really think that now

- Wait! Hang on.

[Dominic Toretto on TV]

I don't have friends, I got family.

Yeah, it's Furious 6. Yep, totally.

- Okay, my turn.

- [feedback screeches]

Ouch! That was actually

very irresponsible. Wow.

Burst my eardrums.

I remember, back at school,

Helmut Roder was standing

behind Mr. Matthäus's car, and bang!

It back-fired

and he lost all hearing in his left ear.

- He had to wear a patch.

- [shushing]

- It looked ridiculous.

- [shushes]

It was awful.

Everyone made fun of him. Anyway

- [players chattering]

- [whistle blows]

- [Alex's dad] All right.

- [Alex] Thanks for driving.

[Alex's dad] Mom will pick you up later.

[Alex] Okay. See you later.

- [Alex's dad] Alex?

- [door closes]

[Alex] Huh?

Have fun.

Oh. Sorry! Sorry.

- [Ole] Oh, I'm sorry. Uh

- Wait.

No problem. Wasn't looking

where I was going. I'm sorry.

Wow. You're going to Games World?

Yeah. ShadowStrike is hosting

a tournament.

That's what I heard.

ShadowStrike is fire. You're a gamer?

- Yeah, one hundred.

- Sweet.

- Well, we should play some, then.

- Okay, sure.

Yeah, my friend Chris and I game a lot.

We could use a third man.

- What do you think?

- Oh, really? Awesome.

Yeah, totally, if you need a man player.

Yeah, man, I'm in.

Nice. Nothing beats smoking weed

and blasting a bunch of NPCs, right?

- Yeah, for sure.

- Do you smoke?

[chuckles] Yeah, definitely.

Living the high life is the best, right?

- Yeah. [laughs]

- [chuckles]

I just got some, uh, some crazy sh*t

from the dark web, bro.

You should come over to my place

and try some.

Got a pen?

Okay, so that

is my gamer tag.

I'll be online tonight, after seven.

Add me, yeah?

- Okay.

- Okay.

[whistle blows]

- [action music playing]

- [sirens wailing, g*nf*re on phone]

[tires screeching on phone]

[man] She doesn't want to.

- I don't know what to do.

- What?

She's refusing to eat.

The man just said,

"She's refusing to eat."

- Who refu

- [woman] Well, we have to force her.

Unless you want her to starve.

And then a woman is saying

they have to force her.

[woman] You know that too.

Oh, my God.

[man] But, Bunny, she said

she won't eat until she's allowed

- He says that

- out of the room.

He said that she'll only eat when

she's allowed to be let out of there.

[man] Maybe we should let her out

a bit. Just to the kitchen.

[woman] She's not leaving that room.

What if someone saw her?

[man] What if we just let her out

for a moment

to stretch her legs?

- She's been locked up for weeks.

- [gasps]

[woman] No, she stays in there.

End of discussion.

- What are you doing?

- I gotta go in.

You can't just storm in there.

I mean, but they're holding

someone c*ptive!

What are you gonna say?

"We're sorry,

we were just eavesdropping on you

and we think you have our daughter"?

Come on, Carlotta!

Also we promised with Ole that

we would be more careful with all of this.

We need bugs.

Hey, you we're gonna need help, please.

[Wanda] As the saying goes:

if you need something ill*gal done

on the Internet, ask a teenager.

[intercom ringing]

- [Ole] Hello.

- Hello.

I'm Ole, a friend of Alex. Is he here?

Yeah. Come on in.

Alex!

- Would you like a drink?

- Uh, yes, thank you.

- Alex!

- [Alex] Coming!

- Thank you so much.

- Sorry to ask.

But aren't you the brother of Wanda Klatt?

Mm-hmm.

It's awful what you're all going through

right now. It must be just terrible.

[Alex's dad] I do not understand

why the Schusters

insist on making Inga take ballet lessons.

I know she's only six,

but the girl's a dump truck.

I mean, are they giving her

protein shakes in her lunch box?

Jonas, this is Ole.

The brother of Wanda Klatt.

Ole.

Hello. It's a pleasure.

I used to teach Wanda.

Well, it was a million years ago.

She was also a little sparkle.

I think I've got a picture here, um

Yeah. There she is.

[chuckles]

Rizzo, in my Grease Hit Mix 2009.

So much potential.

Alex!

But, as Katarina always tells me

I can't keep all of the kids.

[Alex] Yeah?

- Ole.

- Hi.

So, what's up?

Uh

You mentioned the, um,

the dark web the other day.

Um, you think you could show me?

[chuckles]

Welcome to the Black Souk.

Drugs, weapons, super-weird porn.

I even saw someone

selling a tiger on here.

Whatever you're looking for,

you can find it here.

- So, what do you need?

- Uh

A Quantex MF-317.

Okay.

Quantex MF-31 What's that?

They're surveillance cameras.

- Okay

- Um

My mother thinks that

that my father's been cheating.

Oh.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Yeah, my father cheated

back when we were six.

Oh.

Yeah. I don't think my parents know

that we know, but it was a whole mess.

He stayed with my grandparents

for a month.

He had to grovel to our mom to come home.

- Oh.

- Since then he's basically her b*tch.

[chuckles]

He runs around after her like a dog.

And he's super scared that

she'll divorce him and take everything.

- It's kind of sad.

- I'm sorry.

Do you know the person

who your father was having an affair with?

Yeah, this guy Frederik.

Here it is.

Oh, dude, they cost 600 euros each.

Oh, uh, yeah, that's no problem.

My mother gave me

her, uh, her credit card.

Mmm. That won't do it. It's all crypto.

Do you have a Bitcoin wallet?

No.

sh**t.

Wait, wait, wait. If you help me,

I'll give you five percent in commission.

Really?

Yeah.

Okay.

Back to business, my friend.

[laptop chimes]

Okay, first we have to

make you an account.

[church bell tolling]

[doorbell chimes]

[Hessel] Uh, yes?

Hello. How are you?

I'm Father Schäfer, a man of the cloth.

However, I had a crisis of faith.

But I'm also the best damn exorcist

this side of the Vatican

- [Carlotta] Stop.

- What is it?

We agreed we weren't doing

the Father Schäfer thing.

Well, I just thought that

Come on, Dad, no.

Mom's right. That story is lame.

[Dedo] Yeah, fine. Then I'll just say

Hello. I had an issue with my car

breaking down and my cell phone's dead.

Can I please use your phone?

- Yes, sure.

- [Carlotta] Yes.

- [Ole] Much better.

- [Carlotta] Much better.

And once you're in, you just have to

get him out of the room somehow,

and, after that, install the bug.

That is the camera.

Ah.

You point it at the target.

You understand?

Mm-hmm. I got it.

Mmm.

Mm-hmm.

Ah, thanks.

Um Mm-hmm.

Oh, yes, right.

Eight, three, zero [mutters]

- [line beeping]

- [disconnect tone rings]

[voicemail] The number you have dialed

is not in service.

Yes, hello? Um, yes. I was calling

because my car had a breakdown.

Please hang up and try again.

- Uh, my name?

- Please try again.

My name is

Father Schäfer.

Good. Thanks, yeah. I'll wait.

This might take a while.

[coughing, clearing throat]

Feeling a little dry here. [chuckles] Ah.

[coughs, retches]

Excuse me.

- Could I get a glass of water?

- Yes, of course.

- Yes.

- Excuse me.

Come on, come on, come on.

[beeping]

[crockery clinking]

Come on, come on. Go.

- [camera shutter clicking]

- All right.

- What are you doing?

- [gasps]

Uh, me? I had a, uh I'm, uh

I actually just wanted to

Uh, I am, uh

Could I just quickly

use your bathroom a sec?

[door closes, lock clicks]

- There's a room with a padlock on it.

- [message sends]

- What did you say?

- Um, I said you have a very nice house.

- [phone rings: rooster crows]

- sh*t.

CAN YOU GET IN?

- [whispers] I don't think so.

- [knock on door]

[woman] Everything all right?

It's number two! I have to do

- I think the wife is onto me.

- [message sends]

- [phone buzzes, rings]

- Oh.

What did he say?

"I don't think so. Everything all right.

It's number two. I had to go.

The wife is now onto me," he says.

"The wife is now onto me."

- It's working.

- Ah.

Both cameras are online.

[woman] I told you not to let

any strangers inside the house.

- [Hessel] I think he's a priest.

- [groans]

[woman] He doesn't look like a priest.

[Hessel] Could be a crisis of faith.

- [Carlotta] Oh.

- I've got you.

Um, what?

You can't park here.

[chuckles]

I'm just waiting for my husband.

[chuckling] I see.

But there's absolutely no stopping here

between 9:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m.

So please move your vehicle immediately.

Or I'll have it towed.

[scoffs] Have it

But, sir, I'm sitting in it.

What if someone sees you park here

and thinks,

"Oh, how convenient. I didn't know

that you were allowed to park there."

And then he tells his friends,

and those friends tell their friends.

And all of a sudden it's car-mageddon.

Mm-hmm.

And so I would therefore kindly ask

that you move your vehicle

out of the no-stopping zone immediately.

There?

[engine starts]

[hand brake creaks]

And seat belts next time!

[gasps] Uh

Oh, yeah.

[muttering] Bless you in the name of

[Rauch] What a waste of time.

- "Anita will be very mad" or something?

She'll put you back on the tranquilizers.

That's why that woman

seemed familiar before.

She works in the hospital

as a palliative care nurse.

Huh? Wait, wait, wait. I don't get it.

So the chick from before and the old guy,

they live together,

but they're keeping

his actual wife locked away.

- Why, Mom?

- I'm not sure.

But maybe they're collecting

her care allowance or

[Hessel]

Don't try anything. We're all alone.

Uh, we have to call the police, right?

- No. No, no.

- [Dedo] Mm-mm.

If the police get involved,

then they'll find out that we bugged them

and then we'll all get caught.

- And then

Then we'll never find where Wanda is.

Yeah, but we can't leave her there.

So what do we do now?

it's from the Czech Republic.

Czechia? Okay.

And you think this has

something to do with Wanda Klatt?

No idea, but I'm gonna find out.

The police sent someone over

to check on Mrs. Hessel.

But you didn't tell them your name?

No, of course not.

I said I was a concerned neighbor.

Mom.

Dad.

I'm sorry that it wasn't her.

Yeah. Me too.

[Wanda] Did you ever play hide-and-seek

as a child and were super excited

because you thought you'd found

the best hiding place in the world?

And then at some point you panicked

because the hiding place was so good

that maybe no one would ever find you?

There we go.

So at some point

you deliberately give yourself away.

"Monster Hunting in Sundersheim."

[Wanda] Because the beauty of the game

is not actually hiding

- Wanda.

- but
