02x03 - On Razor's Edge

[bunniefuu]

[panting softly]

[sinister music playing]

f*ck.

f*ck. f*ck, f*ck, f*ck. [moaning]

[Wagenschaub] That's exactly right.

f*ck.

Now Wallner has another
body she can pin on you.

I didn't mean to do this.

I didn't want to k*ll you.

[crying] I just want
my daughter to come back.

Well, I can no longer be of service.

It's back to square one again.

[whimpers]

I don't know what to do anymore.

[Wagenschaub] Stop whining.

It's just a matter of time
before those men arrive.

[softly] Stop.

Stop.

Are you all right?

[sighs] I guess.
Can you give me a ride somewhere, please?

[intriguing music playing]

Did Mom do anything?

What did the police want?

It's best if you ask her yourself
when she comes home.

But will she come home?

[exciting music playing]

[music fades out]

[people chattering in Arabic]

Hi.

[conversation in Arabic continues]

-As-salamu alaykum.
-[man] Wa alaykum salam.

[both speaking Arabic]

-[Reza] Sabira, kifik.
-[speaking in Arabic]

This is Dayyan, his brother Anas,
and his wife Sabira.

This is Tim.

-Marhaba.
-[all] Marhaba, Tim.

-All right.
-You'll come back?

Soon.

Go.

[Dayyan and Sabira speaking Arabic]

Come.

[Reza and Dayyan whispering in Arabic]

[Sabira speaking Arabic]

CAT TONGUES

Ah.

You like those?

Hm?

-Mm-hm.
-[chuckles]

So… we recovered someone
else's DNA from the body last night.

Unfortunately, there wasn't
a match in the database.

The car was clean otherwise.

However, the navigation system had
an address in it that we know very well.

Blum?

[somber music playing]

-[music fades out]
-[computer beeps]

[sighs]

f*ck.

[engine cuts off]

Blum?

Blum.

[melancholy music playing]

[sniffles]

What happened?

Where's Tim?

He's safe. With friends.

Hm.

He's dead.

-Who?
-Wagenschaub.

The lawyer?

[crying] He exchanges
those perverted videos with others.

How do I get to Nela now?

I have no idea where that video is or
even who any of the men are who took her.

[doorbell ringing]

Stay here.

You two again.

Yes, and another body was discovered.

In the parking lot next to the trail,
not far from here.

He bled to death from a stab wound.

Your funeral home was entered
into his navigation system.

Well, we are open to the public.

[scoffs] Is Mrs. Blum here?

No.

She's very busy of late.

[wind gusting]

We will need a DNA sample from Mrs. Blum.

A hair or a toothbrush.

All right, then?

[tense music playing]

I'll go get a hairbrush for you.

Let me get it myself. Thank you.

[tense music continues]

[Wallner] Mr. Shadid,

if the sample we just took
matches the DNA traces on the body,

and it will,

then Mrs. Blum has a real problem.

Tell her to turn herself in
and tell the truth. Understand?

[Reza] Mm.

[engine roars to life]

[dramatic music playing]

[music fades out]

We could have just met in the office.

Is this about Edwin's seat on the board?

Mrs. Schönborn is worried that you would
be able to take over the business.

Please understand,
this is a family-owned company.

Family's important.

But are you a part of their family?

What do you want from me?

I'm curious as to how
you're going to position yourself.

We're putting out an APB on Blum.

No. We're not doing that.

We'll wait… for the DNA comparison

with the foreign traces
from our John Doe at the parking lot.

Otherwise, the prosecutor's office
will think we're fools.

Are you defending her or what?

She's hiding something!
Why else would she run away all the time?

Sure, whatever it takes
to get peace in this town.

These are my officers
you're talking about.

They simply have other things to do.

Like what?

Ah. To the lab please.

-Sure. Thank you.
-Thanks.

[door shuts]

Hey. Have you eaten anything today?

-Hm?
-I can't think when I haven't eaten. So…

Do you wanna go get lunch?

Yeah, I'm hungry.

[Johanna] What's got you so down? Hm?

It's not about Nela, is it?

She just vanished.

Vanished?

Is that what you heard from her mother?

I'm afraid something
could've happened to her.

I'm sure she'll turn up.

[sighs] Now, it's time for you
to focus on your future.

I want you to take over for Edwin
on the board of directors.

Uh, but I'm still in school.

Your family needs you, Alex.

Why?

To protect our family's votes.

Okay.

Okay?

-But give me some time to think.
-Just don't think for too long.

Your entire inheritance is at stake.

-[phone ringing]
-[melancholy music playing]

Hey.

[Reza] Hey! Where are you?

Right.
You better not tell me on the phone.

Listen.

I don't know what you overheard.

They're looking for you.
There's another dead man. Bled to death.

The guy who broke in.

Yeah.

Blum,

it's not safe for you at home.
You understand?

Wallner wants to send you to prison,
no matter what.

And I'm finding Nela, no matter what.

Blum…

Yeah?

[music turns dark]

[engine roaring]

[sighs deeply]

I bet the burger is better than the salad.

Mm. Yeah, it's good.

Yep.

Eating, sleeping.
We have to have the time for that.

Yeah, you might be in the wrong business
if that's what you think.

Normally things aren't
as crazy here as they are now.

Not like at the BKA. Huh?

Last year you were assigned
to the hostage crisis in Karlau.

That seems like a really stressful
situation though, right?

For everyone, but for you…

You saved all those hostages,
and even gave the bad guys a way out.

That was… [chuckles] …good.

No one wants to m*rder anyone. Huh?

You were here back when the priest
was mysteriously burned to death, right?

I wasn't here at that point.

[clears throat] I was living in Vienna.
But I heard the stories, of course.

Yeah?

Well, Officer?

Hold on, it's just me and you eating.
You can call me by my name, right?

We don't need all the formalities,
you know?

I'd rather use
the correct titles for people.

Yeah. Sorry.

Okay.

But we spend all this time together.

-Time out of our day.
-Yeah.

I know.

But you're right.

[squelching loudly]

So, what do you think?

What is Blum running from?

What does Blum have to do with
bodies in parking lots? I don't get it.

I think there must be a connection
to Edwin Schönborn, and I will find it.

But what's the relationship between
Danzberger and Johanna Schönborn?

What? What are you trying to say?

It looks like they know each other well.

That's normal. We're in the country here.
Locals know each other.

Yeah, and…

locals talk to each other.

Of course, I've heard a lot of stories.
But my favorite goes like this.

She was involved with him.

Who? Blum?

Yeah, Blum and Edwin Schönborn.

[mimics camera clicking]

And her husband didn't quite like it…
[mimics throat cutting]

[chuckles]

What?

Is that bull?

[laughs]

Yeah.

[laughing]

-sh*t.
-That is complete bullshit.

[both laugh]

But, you have to admit it could be
within the realm of possibility.

I think.

-[man] Hello, Mrs. Schönborn.
-[laughs happily]

[laughs]

Bastl!

-[soft, dark music playing]
-Please. Come in.

Please.

[chuckles]

What can I do for you, huh?

Is it money you need?

That's not why I'm here.

Someone just broke into my house.

I don't know what they wanted.

I've got nothing to do with that.

But I have an idea who might be behind it.

Tell me.

You need to help me with something.

[chuckles sardonically]

Those days have passed by.

No. they haven't. Can't you see?

I am always, always afraid.

I can't do this. This must stop now.

I want to know who broke
into my home last night and why.

-[loud slam]
-[angrily] What do you know?

The past is catching up to us,
so tell me what you know.

[exhales sharply]

[Johanna] My father always said,

"If you lie down with dogs,
you get up with fleas."

Sarkissian is an equal partner
in the Schönborn AG.

Now he's planning
to take over the whole company.

And I assume he had
your apartment searched.

It appears it is somehow connected
to something Edwin screwed up.

It's likely…

Sarkissian is also behind

the kidnapping of Blum's daughter.

[microphone feedback]

[music cuts off]

You said that I could come
here if I needed to escape.

[Mariah] Sweetheart.

We were cellmates don't you forget that.

You can trust me, don't worry.

[gentle guitar music playing]

Do you mind if I stay for a bit?

[Mariah] Here?

Wherever.

Just for a few hours.

-On the run from the law?
-[bottle opening]

[glass clinking]

[drink pouring]

I don't mind.

But in a few hours,
things will get busy here.

Tell me, what kind of a mess
are you in, anyway?

My daughter's in danger.

[woman coughing, gasping on video]

[saw whirring]

[key clicks]

THE VIDEO WE'RE LOOKING FOR ISN'T HERE.

Take all the time you need,
but it's going to kick off here soon.

[phone buzzes]

Is there an issue?

Mrs. Schönborn?

[Johanna] See if this information helps.

I don't know anything about it.

-Is my daughter there?
-I don't know.

I just know things happen there
that shouldn't anywhere.

And perhaps there's a connection.

Why are you helping me?

I know what it's like to lose a child.

[sighs deeply]

Was that good news or bad news?

I don't know yet.

Thank you.

[dramatic music playing]

[music ends]

[knock on door]

The DNA results are in.

They've never worked this fast.

-And?
-Match.

They're a match for Blum.

That's enough for a warrant.
I'll call the attorney general.

The lawyer that was here, Wagenschaub,
his secretary has reported him missing.

He didn't show up for an appointment
and hasn't contacted anyone.

She was in his house
and saw signs of a struggle.

His car is gone and so is he.

-Call the crime scene unit.
-Yes, right away.

[person coughing]

[coughing continues]

[gasping]

f*ck.

[clanging loudly]

[grunting]

-Nela?
-[people gasping]

Have you seen my daughter?
Have you seen a girl?

Seventeen years old.
Blonde hair. Like this?

The girl's not here.

But she was here? Where is she now?

sh*t.

Hello? You have to come
to YAR Import-Export right now.

People are held c*ptive in the containers.

-[guard] Hey!
-sh*t.

[dog barking]

[intense music playing]

[dog growls]

[dog barking]

[barking in distance]

[motorcycle engine revving]

Hey!

sh*t!

[phone dings]

THE COPS ARE ON THE WAY.

f*ck. We have to clean up.
The cops are coming.

[intense music continues]

[engine cuts off]

[sirens wailing]

[engine roars to life]

[sirens wailing]

[music fades out]

[container door opening]

[camera clicking]

[Wallner] So? What do you think happened?

Uninvited visitor.

They got into a fight.

Is this Wagenschaub's blood here?

Or the uninvited visitor's?

Who was the uninvited visitor?

Blum?

Do we have the checkpoints?

Are you able to
recover any data from that?

[man] It's certainly possible.

[phone ringing]

We cleared everything out.
But two of them got away.

We'll keep the others with the girl.

[phone line disconnects]

[engine idling]

[ominous music playing]

[car approaching]

-[hand brake clicking]
-[car door opening]

[door unlocking]

Get in.

Do you need a special invitation? Come on!

Move.

[gasping, panting]

So, who are you?

No. No.

-Who are you? What happened?
-No. No.

-[Nela sighs]
-[man coughs]

I'm Nela.

You are Nela?

Yes. Why?

There was a woman asking about you.

What? Where?

The place they had us. She set us free.

What did she look like?

I don't know. Blonde hair.

And what happened to her?

She drove away on a motorbike.

[somber music playing]

We'll reroute the goods
and send them away.

We can't go back to the YAR.

-The cops didn't find anything.
-Not yet.

That policewoman will be a problem.

Who ratted us out?

My officers searched the containers
but didn't find anything concerning.

-So we don't have a problem.
-We don't have a problem?

Excuse me, what?

I have an anonymous caller who has just
reported human trafficking in our town,

a body that we haven't identified yet,

and the damn Federal Criminal Police
sniffing around,

so don't tell me we don't have problems.

Since Edwin was found,
everything's gotten out of hand.

Then fix everything again.
Is that your job or not?

Yeah. Yeah.

[call disconnects]

VERY LOW BATTERY

[phone ringing]

[woman] Mrs. Blum?

[ominous music playing]

Who is this?

Where's Reza?

He came to the police station.
He's under arrest.

He said he has a confession to make.

[ominous music rises]

I k*lled Edwin Schönborn two years ago.
