Short filmTranscript
00:00My dear mother, today I report back to you.
00:14The food is still decent.
00:17I had expected something else.
00:21Unfortunately, I sleep badly.
00:24But I read a lot and paint.
00:29The sweater you sent me warms you up.
00:33Winter can come.
00:37Now it's full moon again.
00:40You always showed it to me when I was little.
00:44When I look at it in the evening, I know that you are also standing by the window.
00:51Unfortunately, I'm not good at writing letters.
00:55I can tell much better.
00:59But you know that.
01:11I'm fine. Please don't worry.
01:15See you soon.
01:26Did he ever say that he didn't love me?
01:31No.
01:56Ouch!
02:01Are you okay, Tom?
02:03I'm fine, yes.
02:09Is that Martin?
02:11No, that's Ralf.
02:14He's the one we're after.
02:20This way, right?
02:22The party's shield and sword.
02:24Directly from Sauerkraut.
02:26Well, have fun.
02:32Hello, Heinz.
02:33Stefan, nice to meet you.
02:35Name?
02:36Also a colleague, Georg Tonknecker.
02:39I can't answer that.
02:41Is that one of the guys?
02:43Listen, Ralf, be quiet.
02:45Yes, Comrade Major, that's what it's called.
02:48What did you say?
02:49I said, that's what it's called. Yes, Comrade Major.
02:52What?
02:53Gentlemen, a forest worker found the body 55 minutes ago.
02:56Have you asked around?
02:57No.
03:05The parents reported the two missing two weeks ago.
03:08Their names are Martin and Ralf.
03:10Close friends.
03:11They always did everything together.
03:13We started the investigation quietly.
03:15Then there was a call from the local population,
03:18Who saw the two last?
03:20A few children in the forest, in the French bunker.
03:22Before that, they saw a man who watched them briefly,
03:24but then he was gone again.
03:25What kind of man?
03:26The children don't agree.
03:27And the public?
03:28Preliminary news block. We don't release anything.
03:48What about the fathers?
03:50I checked.
04:00Mrs. Stümle, we already know each other.
04:02This is my colleague Major Witt.
04:06Gerd?
04:07Gerd!
04:10Gerd!
04:12Gerd!
04:13Gerd!
04:14Gerd!
04:15Gerd!
04:16Gerd!
04:21We have to inform you that your two children have been found dead.
04:25What?
04:44Tomorrow they will be afraid in the Eberswalde.
04:55Since I'm here, I've never experienced anything like this.
04:58Me neither.
05:00So, colleagues, it's time to go, right?
05:03We'd like two more beers, please.
05:05And then we're gone.
05:08We know.
05:09It's a measure of fear.
05:10Do you have anything mustache? I have a mustache.
05:16Karl, you're kind of weird.
05:19Why?
05:21Should I come home with a stream on my wrist?
05:27With a stream.
05:29And?
05:34She says it comes from gardening.
05:37That's possible.
05:43We don't have a garden.
05:51I'm sorry.
05:58You told me a year ago that you cheat on Karl and that you don't love her anymore.
06:04That you just don't know how to put an end to it.
06:07Which side are you on?
06:10On the side of socialism.
06:14So you love her?
06:15Yes.
06:19If he cheats on me, I'll cut his head off.
06:22That would be a good idea.
06:46The death occurred in both cases by bleeding.
06:49Namely as a result of a deep cut in the throat.
06:51Probably caused by a knife.
06:54And the stab wounds on their backs?
06:56Weren't life-threatening.
06:58They can also be found on the heads and on the chest.
07:00I know.
07:01Speculation is not desirable.
07:03But even if the murders take a year apart,
07:05I would still point to the identical perpetrator.
07:09The pants at Martin Hofmann's were open.
07:11The bad guys and Anus were untouched.
07:13No traces of the stabbing.
07:14Which also applies to the soil samples.
07:21What was the reason?
07:22We don't have a motive.
07:23The motive would be that someone killed the two of them
07:25because they saw what he did.
07:27But what kind of crime should a serial killer commit?
07:29Actually, it's just a much worse crime.
07:31The question is whether this is also the information
07:34The question is, where do we start?
07:36Most children's crimes are experienced by people
07:38from their environment.
07:40Parents, relatives, acquaintances?
07:42Yes. And all those who had to do with the two of them.
07:44So we need more people.
07:45You'll get them.
07:48Good. Then I'll start with the children from the French bunker.
07:50You're going to the Clara Zetkin POS.
07:52I want to be there.
07:53Take care of the family relations.
07:55I'll be there.
07:56I'll be there.
07:57I'll be there.
07:58I'll be there.
07:59I'll be there.
08:00I'll be there.
08:01I'll be there.
08:02I'll be there.
08:03I'll be there.
08:05I'll be there.
08:07I'll follow you.
08:13Robbery is expected.
08:15Sexual murder.
08:16There have been no sexual acts committed against the boy.
08:24How old do you think the man was?
08:26Probably fifty.
08:28About twenty.
08:29How old?
08:33Maybe 35.
08:34And how tall was he?
08:36Tall.
08:38Can you stand up?
08:41Yes.
08:43As tall as you.
08:44And his stature?
08:47Was he thin or was he fat?
08:48Fat.
08:49Thin.
08:50Strong.
08:53That's not enough for a criminal record.
08:55He had brown or black hair.
08:59Did he see the children in the bunker? Did he go to them? No, thanks.
09:02To disappear again.
09:05Maybe there were too many for what he planned.
09:08He could have killed them all.
09:11I'll be right back.
09:15Children.
09:17Children.
09:18The man you saw, did he have a driver with him?
09:21Yes, he did.
09:22He put it in the grass where Martin and Ralf passed by later.
09:26Good. Very good.
09:32He was with his father.
09:49Let's go.
10:02Good morning, gentlemen.
10:05Good morning.
10:06Coffee?
10:07With pleasure.
10:08Please.
10:09So, the women in the circle of relatives are walking with the direct neighbors and the
10:13friends of the parents.
10:14What already stands out, there are a lot of alibis.
10:17I want there to be a new appeal to the population of Oberswalde.
10:20We need information about the man at the French bunker.
10:23He probably had a lot of alibis.
10:25I don't know.
10:26I don't know.
10:27I don't know.
10:28I don't know.
10:29We need information about the man at the French bunker.
10:31He probably had a bike with him.
10:33One had a signature.
10:36On site?
10:37It was a feeling.
10:38A feeling?
10:39I want to know how he feels.
10:40How does he think?
10:41How does he tick?
10:42Is this a new method of investigation?
10:43Why a robbery?
10:45In a robber, yes.
10:46We don't have that here.
10:48Thief.
10:49Intruder.
10:50Something like that.
10:51But in this man?
10:52You don't even know his motive.
10:54That's right.
10:55I don't know it yet.
10:56But I'll find out.
10:58The man at the children's bunker left again.
11:00For whatever reason.
11:01And then?
11:02The idea to kill him,
11:03didn't come to him suddenly.
11:04It didn't come to him on the way
11:05by bike to the French bunker.
11:06He already knew he would be killed.
11:08There were too many witnesses,
11:09too many factors.
11:10That's why he left again.
11:11And the bike?
11:12The bike gives him three advantages.
11:14He can search a larger area
11:15in less time
11:16for a potential victim.
11:17He can get away from the crime scene faster.
11:19And it's the first link to the children.
11:21A possible contact.
11:23You have great bikes.
11:24Let's do a race.
11:25It could have been something like that.
11:27Either Martin and Ralf are there
11:28where we found them
11:29and the killer surprised them.
11:30Or?
11:31Or they went there with him.
11:33What did the parents say?
11:34I don't know.
11:35Egon, do you have a pen?
11:36Yes, here.
11:40Here.
11:41The children never played outside.
11:43Outermost border of the French bunker.
11:44If at all.
11:45Wait a minute.
11:46You can still have surprised him.
11:48According to your thesis,
11:49you have to have trusted him,
11:50otherwise you wouldn't have followed him
11:51so far into the forest.
11:52Right?
11:53Yes, but the children at the French bunker
11:54told us
11:55that they didn't recognize the man.
11:56Yes, exactly.
11:57That's the point.
11:58So there is a cross-section
11:59between Martin and Ralf
12:00on the one hand
12:01and the killer on the other.
12:02A cross-section
12:03that the children
12:04don't have at the French bunker.
12:05You mean
12:06they had a deal with the killer?
12:07Yes, they shared a secret.
12:08A treehouse, a brothel, something like that.
12:12What about the forester
12:13who found the two of them?
12:14Come to the kitchen.
12:15Was his alibi checked?
12:17Not yet.
12:18Excuse me?
12:20Not yet.
12:21The children would have recognized him
12:22at the bunker.
12:23If he was at the bunker, yes.
12:24But who says
12:25that the children at the French bunker
12:26and the killer
12:27are the same person?
12:52Herr Kirschner?
12:53Yes?
12:54My name is Heinz Gödige,
12:55chief of the criminal police.
12:56This is Major Witt
12:57from the Ministry of State Security.
12:59Good day, comrade.
13:03Good day, Major.
13:05We found the cruel guy
13:06in the forest.
13:09It's a terrible thing.
13:13We're here
13:14because we have a few questions.
13:15Just routine.
13:17Can we come in?
13:20Yes.
13:24You found the boy?
13:26Yes.
13:29When?
13:32In the evening.
13:34At what time?
13:37At 8 o'clock.
13:40And where?
13:42Up in the forest.
13:46And what time did you find him?
13:48At 8 o'clock.
13:50At 8 o'clock?
13:51Yes.
13:53What did you do there?
13:55I went home.
13:57Because of you?
14:00No, because of the cat.
14:02People let their dogs
14:03run around freely
14:04and they tear the cat in the forest.
14:05Have you ever shot one?
14:07I don't shoot dog owners.
14:08I meant the dog.
14:10No, I didn't.
14:13I reported everything.
14:16Did you know the boy?
14:19I told the police.
14:20I told the police everything.
14:21I want to hear it from you again.
14:22Put that away.
14:23Did you know the boy?
14:25Put that away!
14:34Everyone knows Kische.
14:35For him it was easy
14:36to lure the kids into the forest.
14:37He knows the forest very well.
14:38He knows where you can do something like that.
14:41Could the stabbing and stabbing
14:42have been done with this knife?
14:47I'll leave it in Berlin
14:48to look for it
14:49at the criminal institute.
14:51Would you say
14:52that the perpetrator
14:53did a cut through the throat
14:54for the first time?
14:55No.
14:56I would say
14:57he has practiced something like that.
14:58Maybe he tried it
14:59over and over again.
15:00Maybe he knows how to do it.
15:01Look,
15:02the cuts were made
15:03deep enough.
15:04They were carried out
15:05in one move.
15:06One continuous movement.
15:07The perpetrator knew
15:08what he had to do.
15:10Is that a suspect?
15:12Yes.
15:14Doctor?
15:15Butcher?
15:16Butcher.
15:18Of course.
15:19From the execution.
15:22But you knew the two kids,
15:23Martin and Ralf, right?
15:24Yes,
15:25but I wasn't there.
15:26And what about the knife?
15:27What was that?
15:34Cigarette?
15:41If you don't have an alibi
15:42for the crime.
15:44I have one.
15:45But don't tell me.
15:47What?
15:48What was that?
15:49I won't tell you.
15:52I won't tell you.
15:59That's not normally
16:00my way.
16:01But the parents are waiting.
16:02They want to know
16:03who it is.
16:04And that's a torture for them.
16:05Huh?
16:06Huh?
16:07Lehmann.
16:08A doctor, Lehmann.
16:09The wife of the first secretary
16:10of the SED district office.
16:11Berate Lehmann.
16:12Yes.
16:13That's the alibi?
16:14Yes.
16:15Yes.
16:16Yes.
16:29Kiss me, Lehmann.
16:34It smells good here.
16:37I want to come back tomorrow.
16:44Good morning.
16:45Good morning.
16:47Stefan is in the ministry
16:48and stays overnight in Berlin.
16:51It's almost ready.
16:53What's wrong?
16:54It's just a little cold.
16:55Go to bed.
16:56I don't feel anything.
16:57I feel drowsy.
16:58Darling, please.
16:59I have to go to work.
17:00I'm sorry.
17:01No, you don't want to go to work.
17:02You have to go to classes.
17:03I won't go to classes.
17:04I'm going to know my job.
17:05Stop complaining.
17:06It's just a little cold.
17:07Go to sleep.
17:08You won't complain.
17:09Come on.
17:10Get out.
17:12It's getting late.
17:13I know.
17:14I know.
17:15It's getting late.
17:16I know.
17:17I'm going to my hospital.
17:18Come on.
17:19I know.
17:20I know.
17:21I know.
17:22♪♪
17:32Can I help you, comrade?
17:34♪♪
17:45I'm looking for a murderer without a motive.
17:48A man who cut through two boys' throats.
17:55Martin and Ralf.
17:57Did you know them?
18:01Only by sight, not by teaching.
18:05Why would someone kill two boys?
18:08Two children.
18:10Why didn't he kill a man or a woman?
18:12The children were defenseless.
18:20Yes.
18:22A murderer is too cowardly to deal with adults.
18:42That's why he didn't do it.
18:58He was in the woods, had the knife, the children didn't know him.
19:01What can you do?
19:03I told him to be careful.
19:05I told him he could kill anyone.
19:07He was in the woods. He had the knife. The kids knew him. What's that supposed to mean?
19:11I thought about it again.
19:13Please don't make it more complicated than it is.
19:15You saw what he did to us when it came to his knife.
19:18Exactly.
19:19That's why I'm going to take care of the kids now.
19:22I'm sorry.
19:36Good morning.
19:37Are you ready?
19:38Yes, of course.
20:12Renate Lehmann.
20:14She's cheating on her husband with the priest.
20:21Things are going well.
20:25What's that?
20:28What?
20:29What else is there?
20:31Oh.
20:32The knife was a gift from Kischel's deceased son.
20:35That's why no one can touch it.
20:40That's a shame.
20:42If everything had gone so well,
20:45it wouldn't have been unnecessarily complicated.
20:51I'm sorry.
21:22I'm sorry.
21:24I'm sorry.
21:26I'm sorry.
21:28I'm sorry.
21:30I'm sorry.
21:32I'm sorry.
21:34I'm sorry.
21:36I'm sorry.
21:38I'm sorry.
21:40I'm sorry.
21:42I'm sorry.
21:44I'm sorry.
21:46I'm sorry.
21:48I'm sorry.
21:50I'm sorry.
22:09Freeze!
22:16Get down!
22:20Get down!
22:27What are you looking for?
22:32Why did you run away?
22:36Who are you?
22:37Heinz Goethe, chief of the criminal police.
22:41Oh, you're from the K.
22:45I'm the prosecutor, Dr. Liebers.
22:47The successor of Dr. Zetsche.
22:49How can I help you?
22:52This is a short reaction.
22:55Yes.
22:57I've taken over the case from him.
22:59Well, then...
23:01Welcome.
23:31Don't you want to think about it again?
23:33If I work less after further education.
23:35If I don't go to Berlin.
23:37If I'm more at home.
23:39You are more at home.
23:43Please don't do anything.
23:45I'm going with you to this SED monkey theater because...
23:50Because I like you.
23:53It just doesn't fit, Stefan.
24:15Do you have another one?
24:19No.
24:50But Stefan won't come into your bedroom, will he?
25:12We should have more people in the civilian area by tomorrow morning.
25:15Some murderers won't let that go.
25:18We don't have a clue who we're looking for.
25:20It's possible that a perpetrator will come back to the crime scene.
25:23But as an addition...
25:25I can't do that, Heinz.
25:31Hello.
25:32Dr. Liebers.
25:33Good morning.
25:34Nice to see you again.
25:35Good morning.
25:38Is this the French bunker?
25:39Yes, it is.
25:40And what is this?
25:41This is the location of our Russian arms store.
25:45There are always brothers-in-arms who come here despite the curfew.
25:50That has happened once or twice, yes.
25:54Can you organize a meeting with the commander of the former Soviet barracks?
25:59I can try, of course.
26:01Good.
26:02The addition is tomorrow.
26:04And it's not unusual that perpetrators come back to the crime scene.
26:09I'm aware of that.
26:10That's why you have an observation around the clock.
26:13Yes, exactly.
26:14Because there are perpetrators who even want to be present at the addition of the victim.
26:17That has not been reported.
26:18On the contrary, it has not yet been reported.
26:21And where is the problem?
26:25I have to cancel the MOK staff because every available man is needed for the 20th anniversary of the Republic.
26:31Why don't I know about it?
26:32I don't know.
26:33I'm sorry.
26:34That concludes the extensive questions.
26:38The anniversary of the Republic is in October.
26:40Right, and we are already in June.
26:43Yes.
26:47How many men do you need, Mr. Büddeke?
26:49As many as possible.
26:50I didn't ask how many you want, but how many you need.
26:5350 men.
26:59Where are you coming from?
27:14Thank you very much.
27:17You're welcome.
27:20Why didn't you tell me?
27:21Never do that again, Heinz.
27:25Anything else?
27:27Don't try to pull the big dogs around the block if you can't pee high enough.
27:35Stefan!
27:39Problems with Major Witt?
27:41No.
27:42Major Witt only relies on the usual methods to catch the perpetrator.
27:46Interrogations, interrogations, interrogations, all that.
27:49That's right.
27:51Yes, you're absolutely right.
27:53Goodbye.
27:55Comrade Büddeke.
27:57Yes?
27:59You haven't told me yet which mechanisms you want to use to catch the perpetrator.
28:04That might sound very unusual.
28:05You don't believe how many unusual things I've had to hear in my life.
28:09Listen.
28:11I'm trying to infiltrate the perpetrator.
28:13Because we can't continue with our methods.
28:16I want to know what he's thinking.
28:17I'm trying to think what he's thinking.
28:18To feel what he's feeling.
28:19I want to see the child in his eyes, not in mine.
28:24That does sound unusual.
28:28That's why you were in the woods at the bunker.
28:30Yes.
28:33Do you learn to infiltrate the perpetrator in police training?
28:36No.
28:39That's what I thought.
28:50Two lights went out right in front of us.
28:54Martin and Ralf were taken out of their lives.
28:58They were children.
29:01They played sports in our sports facilities.
29:04They swam, rode and rode their bikes.
29:07They played in our forests.
29:09And they were just about to feel their world.
29:14So childish that they hadn't yet given up on amazement.
29:20The exits are all closed.
29:21We can't make their death an accident.
29:24Nobody likes to talk to Martin and Ralf's parents,
29:27whose loved ones were taken.
29:30How we'd like to give them consolation and say,
29:32time heals all wounds.
29:35Or that it's beautiful where they are now.
29:39But none of it is true.
29:41There is no consolation.
29:42And time doesn't heal wounds either.
29:47Wherever they are now, I'm sure,
29:50they would much rather be here, among us.
30:02May God bless you.
30:18Lehmann, First Lieutenant of the SED.
30:20I know who you are.
30:21My girlfriend.
30:22Hello.
30:27Do you have any new findings?
30:29No.
30:30We need results.
30:31Something that can be presented.
30:33We don't have any.
30:34The Central Committee is calling every hour now.
30:37I'm sorry, we don't have any new findings yet.
30:40That's bad, that's very bad.
30:42The people here, the whole city,
30:43all agree that the state bodies are responsible for their safety.
30:47We're working on it.
30:48A child murderer is still driving his corpse out of here.
30:51We're doing what we can.
30:52Two weeks of interrogation, no results.
30:56We don't have the slightest clue.
30:58We're hunting a phantom.
30:59That can't be!
31:00A phantom?
31:01What's that supposed to be?
31:02We're not hunting a ghost here.
31:04You have to come to terms with the situation.
31:06We didn't find anything in the family environment,
31:08so you know the children from somewhere else.
31:10Let's imagine we're all pre-convicts in the surrounding area.
31:12Exactly why you're here.
31:13With a focus on violent crimes.
31:16We're not hunting a phantom.
31:18We're not hunting a ghost.
31:20With a focus on violent crimes.
31:27Did the autopsy of the mourners show anything?
31:31No, nothing.
31:35Good.
31:36Get to work.
31:50Close the door behind you.
32:02Do you feel well?
32:06Brigadier General Obrutinsky will receive us at 3 p.m.
32:203 p.m.
32:38Show me your ID.
32:50Let's go.
32:57Let him through.
33:10Of course I heard about the two murdered boys.
33:13What a tragedy.
33:15For the parents, for the families.
33:17And not to forget the playmates.
33:19The souls of children are very fragile.
33:22Oh, yes.
33:27I assume you're here because there's something I can do for you.
33:41Criminal Officer Gödeke to my left
33:43would like to make sure that we don't have to follow
33:45certain possible perpetrators during our investigation.
33:49But...
33:53Yes, Comrade Gödeke, maybe you can explain that yourself.
33:56Yes.
33:58Comrade General,
33:59so far our investigation has led to no results.
34:03And that even though we checked all the people groups in Eberswalde.
34:06Except for one.
34:08In order to prevent possible rumors in the population,
34:11we need information about whether on May 31
34:13someone from your barracks was absent.
34:19Yes, Comrade General.
34:24I understand.
34:28Criminal Officer Heinz Gödeke of the Eberswalde People's Police, right?
34:32Yes.
34:33Comrade Major, please check.
34:35On May 31,
34:38did anyone leave the territory of the military unit?
34:41Yes, Comrade General.
34:45Comrades, please drink some of this good Georgian tea.
34:48The best variety.
34:49A friend of mine sent it to me directly from Tbilisi.
35:01But no one left, am I right?
35:03Yes, Comrade General.
35:05No departures in the questionable period of time, Comrade Major.
35:11Yes, thank you very much.
35:12Thank you very much.
35:17You owe me something.
35:23No, I'm not.
35:24Yes, you are.
35:40What are you up to?
35:43Ouch.
36:07Leave the knife alone.
36:12Leave the knife.
36:23Stop it.
36:27Stop it, please.
36:42Stop it.
36:48Stop it, please.
37:12Stop it.
37:26Help!
37:29You lost bastard!
37:32Hey!
37:33Ministry for city security.
37:34Is everything all right?
37:35Should I leave the store upside down?
37:38If you get up, I'll beat you up all over the place.
37:42Come on.
38:43It will do you good.
39:00I had to find out how he felt about it.
39:06Can you understand that?
39:07Can you understand that?
39:11At least a little bit.
39:12You should have told me before.
39:19But you didn't tell the children either.
39:30Never use me again.
39:37Never.
40:08The assessment of Alliebee's offences
40:10could clarify some minor crimes,
40:12like the theft but they are all connected to our double murder.
40:15Doesn't that imply that we are looking for someone
40:18who didn't leave Eberswalde?
40:21A man who came by, killed the children
40:23and is now sitting in his hometown in Breesden,
40:25Kamarckstadt or Rostock.
40:27The perpetrator would have already identified himself here.
40:29Why?
40:30The place where we found the boys in the forest
40:32is ideal for committing unnoticed crimes.
40:34It would be ideal to commit unnoticed crimes.
40:36Don't Wälder offer themselves for this, Mr. Thum?
40:38Maybe he was just lucky.
40:40He admitted it and left again.
40:41Otherwise, for me, the resultlessness of the week-long investigation
40:45that the comrade Gödeke is in charge of cannot be explained.
40:47Do you think it is still reasonable that I involve over 100 people
40:50in this case, while there are already other cases that need to be processed urgently?
40:59A murder without a motive.
41:02This is the point we always left off.
41:03And we have now reached this point again.
41:05This is where the circle closes.
41:07But we all know that a murder without a motive is not justified.
41:10If the murderer wanted to cover up something
41:12and Martin and Ralf surprised him with it,
41:14then we would have had to find traces of this crime.
41:16Because we didn't find anything while looking for the two of them.
41:19So it is certain that there was no other crime and the boys were not witnesses.
41:23The stab wounds on the back and in the chest area of the boys
41:26have given us riddles so far.
41:28Until now.
41:29We now know from the forensic investigation
41:31that the stabs were not deep and not big enough to lead to death.
41:34That is known. Are there new findings?
41:36Yes. I assume from the thesis that a murderer only does what is important to him.
41:41What he feels the need for.
41:42To kill the boys, he could have simply cut through their throat.
41:44He did.
41:45Sure, but not immediately.
41:46What were all the little stab wounds good for?
41:49At least two dozen per victim.
41:51Maybe he didn't really want to kill them.
41:53Maybe the first approach was until he overcame himself
41:55to really kill the two of them.
41:57I think he wanted to torture them.
42:00To get to the point.
42:02He tortured them before he killed them.
42:04He felt the need to torture them.
42:06That's just a claim.
42:07But now it's major!
42:09Maybe it makes sense if the criminal chief Gönicke
42:11can finish his thesis without a hitch?
42:14If we try to see the situation from the perpetrator's perspective,
42:17the perpetrator has to hurry.
42:18But our man has no hurry.
42:19Because he took the time to add these stab wounds to the boys.
42:23A total of...
42:2584.
42:26A total of 84 times.
42:27Why did he do that?
42:28Stabbed 84 times.
42:30Because he felt the need to.
42:31Because he couldn't do otherwise.
42:33We're looking for a sadist.
42:35Marquis Descartes,
42:36the name giver of this kind of people.
42:39Descartes mixed pornographic material with violent fantasies.
42:42The victims weren't abused.
42:44That's true, that's true.
42:45But one doesn't exclude the other.
42:46Because of the stab wounds,
42:47I contacted the professor Dr. Schikowski
42:50from the Berlin Charité.
42:51And he confirmed
42:52that for sexually motivated sadists,
42:54humiliation and the practice of violence and control over other people
42:58is a source of sexual satisfaction.
43:01There was no sperm of the perpetrator.
43:03He ejaculated in his pants.
43:04That's why we didn't find any traces of sperm.
43:06Is there evidence for that?
43:08And this?
43:09Martin's open pants?
43:11Martin had to pull on them again on his escape.
43:13Hardly.
43:13That's not evidence.
43:14But supposing there was something to it.
43:16Supposing we were looking for a sadist.
43:18How would you approach that?
43:22I can't say that yet.
43:23Maybe we just go to the city and ask the people.
43:25Excuse me, are you a random sadist?
43:26Major Witt.
43:27There's a sadist on the loose out there.
43:29Even if my theory may seem a bit absurd,
43:31I'd be more than happy if we could at least follow this theory.
43:34A sadist can already have become conspicuous in his youth.
43:36For example, through animal torture.
43:38So we should all, together,
43:39follow all documented and recorded animal tortures.
43:44Is one week enough to check the animal tortures?
43:46That would be a start.
43:47Good.
43:49One week.
43:50Yes, thank you very much.
43:56Good night.
44:14You were right.
44:15I owe you something.
44:20And now we're even again.
44:22An imperialist heart leaf?
44:24Where did you get that from?
44:25I recently found it in the lorry.
44:27Page 49.
44:28The article, Wohin mit ihm, about the case of Jürgen Bartsch.
44:31Read it at home.
44:52It's not possible. How can you imagine that?
45:17I can't talk to this bastard.
45:18That's why I didn't leave him the magazine.
45:23Do you have...
45:25Is there anything urgent that I should appear here immediately?
45:33I don't like games like this.
45:34This is not a game. Page 49.
45:41Bartsch.
45:43I've heard about him.
45:45A child rapist from a capitalist country.
45:47Exactly.
45:48He tortured his victims and then sexually abused them.
45:50Bartsch is now 22 years old.
45:52His victims are between 9 and 13 years old.
45:54He was convicted.
45:55But now there's a revision process going on over there in the BRD.
45:57A man brings four defenseless children around carelessly.
46:00Shouldn't he be charged for that?
46:01It's an absurd, crude system that allows such a thing.
46:03It's no wonder that in the BRD such...
46:04Yes, but there are parallels.
46:06There are parallels between Bartsch and our case.
46:08Those over there may have insights that we don't have here.
46:11Bartsch has admitted four times.
46:13What if our perpetrator is not satisfied with Ralph and Martin?
46:15What if he continues his crimes?
46:17The anti-fascist protection force protects us against that.
46:19But not in this case.
46:20The perpetrator is already here.
46:21The perpetrator is among us.
46:22What do you want?
46:23I want to speak to this witness in person.
46:25We have to go.
46:26We're going over to the interrogator.
46:30Where did you get that?
46:31It fell off the truck.
46:32Don't tell me that shit!
46:33It fell off the truck!
46:40Where from?
46:42It fell off the truck.
46:48I had it on me.
46:50On you?
46:54Yes.
46:55What a surprise.
46:59Thank you, Mr. Goethe.
47:07You want to dissolve her book?
47:08Yes.
47:09Because it's ineffective.
47:11Yes.
47:12There are many ways not to let the MOK die quietly.
47:14I don't know if it's so smart if you hurt yourself on your post at the MFS.
47:18You don't want that, do you?
47:21Do you want to betray me?
47:23Betray?
47:24No, I want you to convince your superiors of the meeting in the BRD and let them bless it.
47:42I'm sorry.
47:55Get in.
48:11Get in.
48:31Professor Tchaikovsky?
48:32We meet again so quickly.
48:34Thank you for taking the time.
48:36I asked Professor Tchaikovsky to explain to us some news-related documents that I requested from the HVA.
48:43Fugt?
48:59The documents seem to have come from Professor Zehnder from Hamburg.
49:02He was an expert in the case of Jürgen Barsch.
49:04Zehnder comes to the following diagnosis.
49:06Jürgen Barsch had a loveless childhood.
49:09He was humiliated, he was abused, he never experienced compassion.
49:12Later, he experienced exactly that with weaker people, with children.
49:16Barsch is a sadist.
49:18He feels desire when he is tormented.
49:20The more the victims are delivered, the more their will is broken, the higher and more intense the satisfaction.
49:25Barsch looked his victims in the eyes when he tormented them.
49:28And he looked them in the eyes when he killed them.
49:31The fear of death in the eyes of these children was a source of great pleasure for him.
49:36That's sick.
49:37Yes, it's different, Mr. Witt.
49:39The man is sick.
49:41But what raises the question is, if he is sick, can he act differently?
49:46And if he can't act differently, is he responsible for his actions?
49:49It's a mess. The man killed four children.
49:52Exactly this question is at the center of the report.
49:55Barsch's defender, Rolf Bossi, has just started a review process in the HVA.
49:59Professor Szykowski, why children?
50:02Just because they are defenseless?
50:04The defenseless or the victim, the greater the power and control you can gain over them.
50:09Can you compare Jürgen Barsch and our stranger?
50:13We can deduce from his actions, Mr. Witt.
50:16So it's a ticking time bomb, right?
50:20Would Barsch have stopped killing? I mean, by himself?
50:23Definitely not.
50:24He has developed this fantasy over the years.
50:27He tried out his animals, he looked for contact with children.
50:30But at some point the pressure in his head got so big,
50:33it threatened to blow his head off, that he just had to do it.
50:36So everything starts all over again with our man?
50:38Yes, exactly. Now everything builds up again.
50:40Day after day, night after night.
50:42It builds up like in a pressure boiler that has no valve.
50:46And when the pressure gets too strong, the murderer will do it again.
50:50And in ever shorter intervals.
50:52As long as someone can keep up.
50:58Thank you very much.
51:02Professor Schickowsky.
51:21I'm dissolving the M.O.K.
51:24He's being re-murdered, didn't you know?
51:26The report says so, yes.
51:28Both reports said so, and finally confirmed it.
51:31When the M.O.K. is dissolved, your husband has the case to the files. Do you want that?
51:40If it's because of Carla...
51:42It's not.
51:44I'll do something else for Carla.
51:46Why do you want to dissolve the M.O.K., Stefan?
51:48We might not be able to prevent the death of the next boy,
51:50but if we try, we haven't even tried.
51:52Because such individuals, who you and these reports speak of,
51:55cannot exist outside the socialist system.
51:57We have a murderer.
51:59The children weren't killed by some ghost.
52:01But we certainly don't have a paedophile, homosexual, sadist in Eberswalde.
52:05But do you really believe what you're saying?
52:07There are no such subjects in socialism.
52:09That's the position of the party, by the way.
52:11Of the party?
52:13I have the assignment to finish the investigation.
52:15The case goes to the files.
52:20What's going on?
52:22That's it.
52:24The M.O.K. is dissolved.
52:27Let's go.
52:28I don't feel like it.
52:29But I do.
52:31Come on, I'll take you there.
52:32I'll make you some coffee.
52:34I'm already late. I have to go.
52:40I'm sorry.
52:42I'm sorry.
52:44I'm sorry.
52:46I'm sorry.
52:47I'm sorry.
52:48I'm sorry.
53:02Mr. Stübner?
53:05Yes?
53:06Carla Böhm.
53:07I'm here about Hauptmann Goetheke.
53:09May I come in?
53:59Mr. Stübner?
54:02Mr. Goetheke?
54:06It's not your fault that...
54:09I mean, everyone in the Eberswalde knows how hard they have tried.
54:12I don't give a promise that easily.
54:14Yes.
54:15They gave it to me, sir.
54:20I'll keep your promise, Mr. Goetheke.
54:28He's still walking around freely.
54:31He'll do it again.
54:32Yes, but if he still keeps all the cups in the closet,
54:35he won't do it here.
54:37Yes.
54:40If he does.
54:43If.
54:45Yes.
54:55You're back.
54:58Hello.
54:59Hello.
55:03What's that smell?
55:06Spruce needles.
55:07I left you a bandage.
55:09Oh, you're so sweet.
55:16Oh, that would do me good.
55:20How did you know I'd be back by now?
55:25Did you talk to Stübner?
