01x06 - Abgrund

[bunniefuu]

IN THE PREVIOUS EPISODE

Come see me tomorrow.

It's important.

It's her, isn't it?

The woman at the party?

Stop, Amina! What do you want?

She was chased.

Did she say by whom?

What's going on?

Bruno!

Still protecting him, are you?

Jakob, I am your father.

When do you start at The Hague?

In two weeks.

One solution might suit everyone.

You can't blame it on Abou Khalil!
It couldn't have been him!

Bad peace is better than good w*r.

You don't give a damn
about the truth!

The bone fell here.

A climber who had an accident
locally 30 years ago.

Thirty years ago...

Well, well, we meet again.

David Sutter,
a Black Bloc anarchist, I think.

Is Kaegi coming?

We had a chat about Neratom.

Neratom?

All good. There's our pirate!

Our dear Barbara Rossi.

They have my brother's death
on their conscience.

NOVEMBER 19, 1987

David?

-Are you ready? Four mins 30 to go.
-Affirmative.

Barbara, I'm in position.

Don't take any risks.

As I was walking
By the clear fountain

I found the water so lovely
I had to bathe

I've loved you for so long...

Charge it up.

Good Lord, sh*t!

sh*t!

Under the oak's leaves
I lay and dried...

What?

-David, only 30 seconds left.
-No!

David?

Are we there already?

Nearly. I'll be back in a moment.

SCHOOL BUS

Stop!

The school bus!

The bus! Ah! No!

Stop! Stop!

Don't blow it up!

Armon, is it charged?

Yes.

The bus! Stop!

Oh, no!

No!

I've loved you for so long...

They're going to go away soon.

Who?

The children.

There you go again.

Not only are you investigating
without permission,

you're also defending absurd ideas.

The two of them knew each other.

The photo was on Armon's studio wall.
It's no coincidence.

Yes, OK, but Armon, your Armon,

do you think
he could do such a thing?

And what do you know
about this David...

Sutter. Not a lot.

We couldn't find any files on him.

When he disappeared,

he was still living at his mother's,

but she died at the start of the '90s

when her house burned down.

Mrs. Rossi, we're waiting.

I'm just coming.

Hurry up.
I have to do my farewell speech.

We know he had an aunt.

Apparently, she received a box
of her nephew's personal effects.

Her name is Suzanne Gerber
and she lives in Köniz.

She isn't very accommodating.
She refuses to talk to us.

That's why we need you.
We need a search warrant.

If we can get traces of DNA

from anything at all

and prove
that the bone is David Sutter's,

we can reopen the investigation.

Please.
We can't do anything without you.

I'm sure
we'll find something interesting.

After all your mistakes?

One last chance.

This is your last chance, OK?

I'll try to get it for you today,
but I can't promise anything.

Thank you, Barbara.

My thanks go to you, dear colleagues,

because you have taught me a lot.
Respect,

conscientiousness,
fairness, and team spirit,

values that have thrived
in our fine, law-abiding state.

Before I leave you,

I want you to know
how deeply grateful I am to you.

I'll miss you all very much.

I will never forget my years here,

and I will continue to fight
just as fervently

to defend the ideals to which
I have devoted my whole life.

Law and justice.

Thank you.

It's me. Where are you?

We must meet as soon as possible.

I lived with her for three years

when I left my parents.

The three best years of my life.

When I returned from Lebanon,

she helped me get back on my feet.
One day, she said,

"Mr. Kaegi, you really are
a very good federal detective.

"But if you had
more appropriate shoes,

"you'd be even better."

Without her,
I would never have picked myself up.

She has helped me a lot too.

What is that?

Nothing.

Rosa knows.

For now, she's convinced
that Armon and David acted alone.

The two of them.

Right. Let's go again.

What is your name?

Suzanne Gerber.

-And your nephew's name?
-David Gerber.

No, Sutter.

Yes, that's what I meant.

Yes, sure. So, you let her in

and you behave normally,

and when she asks
for the box of David's things...

I tell her
I'll go get them from the cellar.

Exactly.
I'll be with you in a moment.

Then you show her the photos
and say they're all you have left.

She must see those photos. OK, Mom?

Message received loud and clear.

Perfect.

We'll be just next door.
We'll see everything on the cameras.

So, you've no need to worry.

I'm not worried.

The only one scared here
is you, Freddy.

I just want a bit of action.

No. At the slightest sign of tension,
we intervene and arrest her.

-Isn't that right, Wilder?
-Yep!

Anything you want to add?

You've said it all.
Let's get to work, Freddy!

-Good luck!
-Thank you.

Do you know Three Days of the Condor,
with Robert Redford?

No, I'm not a great movie buff.

He plays a CIA agent who discovers
nasty government dealings.

-Brilliant movie.
-And?

Do you feel like Robert Redford?

Totally!

You do have the same haircut...
and you're the same age.

Thanks!

What if she doesn't come?

She'll come.

I'm sure she'll come.

-I'll be damned!
-What?

I think it's her.
She has a bouquet of flowers.

Are you sure it was her?

Yeah.

She should be here already.

Don't you think?

-It's ruined.
-What?

She's leaving. Without the flowers.

Wilder, where are you going?

Stay here! What has got into her?

She mustn't see us!

I know where she's going.
The Crime Squad building!

Dammit!

sh*t!

-Hello, Max!
-Hello, Silvia.

A lady wanted to give them
to a Mrs. Gerber. I said...

sh*t!

-This is Max, our concierge.
-Hello.

-What is going on?
-It's ruined. She has foxed us.

I need to go. I'll call you later.

-Goodbye.
-Goodbye.

Who's that nutcase?

That's my Freddy.

Hello, Mrs. Rossi.

Looking for this?

Ah, it's you. You gave me a fright.

I knew you'd come here.

It's the only clue
to prove the dynamiting.

What do you mean?

Stop putting on an act!

You set off that dynamite

with Armon and David Sutter.

You're crazy as a jaybird, Rosa.

You're talking nonsense.

We found this at Franz Ramser's.

You three knew each other.

I don't have time for this game.

You eliminated Armon
because he threatened to reveal all.

You don't know what you're saying.

Barbara, wait!

Barbara, stop!

It's pointless! Barbara!

-Can you open it? I forgot my card.
-Yes.

sh*t!

Stop!

What are you doing, Kaegi?

Finished for the day already?

Barbara!

We didn't mean
to k*ll those children.

It was an accident.

Our aim was to stop Neratom

from building
that radioactive waste plant.

We wanted to create a better world.

Why didn't you turn yourselves in

if it was an accident?

They would've built it even sooner.

Believe me,
the punishment has been severe.

Not one second has gone by

without me hating myself
for what I did.

For 30 years,
I've got up every morning

hoping that my life will have meaning

if I dedicate it to helping others.

And?

You'd like to be forgiven now?

You destroyed lots of people's lives,
mine and my parents.

Confessing
wouldn't have changed a thing.

It wouldn't have brought
Markus and the others back.

The truth would have pacified us.

We deserved to know!

A lie that heals is better
than a hurtful truth.

Look at me. Look at my parents!

Do you really think this terrible lie
has helped us to heal?

You're sick.

Do you think you have the right
to manipulate the truth to suit you?

I thought that the lie

would help us all suffer less.

No, that's wrong.

You don't give a damn about others.

You and Armon
wanted to save your skins.

Kaegi and Rosa.

I've always been good
at forming amazing teams.

Barbara, it's over.

Don't come any closer.

Wait!

Please come with me. Let's go
back down and talk this over calmly.

Was there anyone else with you
when you dynamited the mountain?

As well as Armon and David Sutter?

No.

Barbara.

What happened with Armon that night?

Rosa, I am so terribly sorry.

Believe me,
if I could erase the past--

Did you k*ll him?

Mrs. Rossi!

Yes.

No!

I don't know what happened,

but it will have
terrible repercussions.

And of course,
you're involved, Kaegi!

Not a word to the press for now,
understood?

My colleagues will take
your statement. Come with me.

And you too, Kaegi.

From now on, Kaegi, you're an attaché

to the Special Commission's
Crime Squad

and you'll have no further contact
with the Canton Police.

And Ms. Wilder is in the clear.

Understood?

I want a detailed report
on my desk by tomorrow night.

Yes, sir.

Right, I'll leave you to it. Kaegi.

Boss.

Ms. Wilder.

Excellent work.

See you soon.

Fancy a coffee?

I'm going back to the village.

I need to have Jakob released and...

find a way to tell my parents
the horrible news.

Well, good luck.

When will I see you again, Freddy?

Sooner than you'd like.

I have to bring the caravan back.

You and your weird caravan!

Ciao!

Hello?

Hello?

Who is this?

Hello?

Rosa knows.

For now, she's convinced

that Armon and David acted alone,
but she can't prove anything.

Oh no!

Calm down.
She doesn't know we were involved,

and she'll never find out
if we don't panic.

I told you she'd find out in the end.

You have no idea how hard it is

to get up each morning
and look her in the eye

and have to lie
and hide all the time.

Some days, I don't even know
who I am anymore.

You've done it for 30 years,
you'll manage for a few days more.

The main thing is to keep our cool.

I might as well blow my brains out.

That has crossed my mind before.

-Eh?
-Nothing.

Pull yourself together and keep calm.

Don't do anything, remain discreet,
and don't draw attention.

If you want to contact me,
use a prepaid SIM card.

Paul!

-What?
-Do you understand?

Yes, yes.

The phone.

Nurse! Please come quickly!

My daughter needs help!

Shall I come with you?

I'm sorry for everything
that has happened to you.

It doesn't matter.

Jakob!

Mom!

Mom?

How did you get back?

Rosa drove me.

Praise the Lord.

I'm so happy that you're back.

Mom!

Mom, let me see!

It's nothing, my darling.

Where is he?

Please don't get angry.

It's not his fault.

Spite...

anger... and blasphemy.

Stop praying.

That's not going to help you now.

Where have you come from?
Why are you here?

Did you escape?

If you hit my mother one more time,
you b*stard,

I'll k*ll you!

My son has no right
to speak to me like that.

Get out now.

Your presence
sullies the house of our Lord.

Dirty b*stard!

She has lied to us all for years.

To you too!

Never touch her again!

Someone knocked on the door.

Armon told me to hide
in the room next door.

I was convinced it was Rashad.

He knew about Armon and me.

I thought I heard
an argument, voices.

Armon's voice and a female voice.

Did you hear anything at all?

No, I was too far away.

Did you see anything?

Just Armon lying on the ground
and lots of blood.

So I ran away.

Did you see the person
who followed you?

No, it was nighttime.
I ran, that's all.

I was so terrified.

Please try to remember.
It's very important.

Do you recall any details?

I...

I'm sorry, I don't remember.

You should all leave her be now.

Your daughter needs rest.
You mustn't ask her too much.

Yes, of course, I understand.

Get better soon.

Mr. Baroudi,
I'll wait for you outside.

Where did you spring from?

Can we go inside for a minute?

I have something to tell you.

And you never noticed anything?

We were against the waste plant too.

We protested a lot.

The whole village was against it.

Except the Raebers, perhaps.

And after the disaster,
did she or Armon seem different?

I don't know. We were so distraught.

She said she never meant
to k*ll the children. I believe her.

It was just a terrible accident.

"A terrible accident"?

They blew up the mountainside
and k*lled 12 children.

Don't you tell me it was an accident!

She and Armon can burn in hell!

What's going to happen now?

I haven't a clue.

I'm off the case.

Did she... k*ll Armon too?

Yes. Apparently, she k*lled him
with a hammer.

My God.

I'm sorry.

I always blamed you two.

You've nothing to be sorry for, Rosa.

You were just a child.

Life was so difficult for everyone
after Markus.

Will things get better?

I hope so.

I really hope so.

What do you mean?

Maybe there was an accomplice there.

Otherwise, why call her
with a prepaid SIM card?

It could be anyone here.

Maybe, maybe not.

Look, sorry, I can't help you.
I'm off the case now.

It's already stressful enough
being here.

What's going on? Are you OK?

Yes, but my parents
are strangely shaken.

Are you holding up OK?

I have to.

-Keep me updated, will you?
-OK.

Before committing suicide,
Barbara Rossi confessed.

So, we are withdrawing
the charges against Abou Khalil,

and his past
will remain confidential.

It's our way of apologizing.

I imagine that's better
for your company's reputation, right?

Thank you.

You are free to resume
your construction project.

Personally,
I'm not a fan of holiday villages,

but nobody's asking my opinion.

We haven't made our decision yet.

First, we want to
look after our daughter.

It's the least you can do.

But if she were
ever to remember any details,

you know where to find me.

Say it to him now.

Kaegi!

What happened
to your partner in Lebanon...

I am so sorry.

I understand your pain.

Thank you.

Good luck and see you soon.

Goodbye.

Is that Markus?

The night of the party...

did you spend it with Glutz?

Answer me, please.

Thank you, everyone,
for coming tonight.

What I'm going to tell you
will be very hard.

The avalanche
that took place 30 years ago...

was not due to natural causes.

Thanks to the excellent cooperation

between the Federal Police
and the Oberwies Police,

an extremely complex case
has finally been solved.

We would like to thank

a young female journalist
from Tele-Oberland

and her colleagues who helped us
during the investigation.

Their reports contributed
to shedding light on this scandal.

Jakob! Well done, my man!

I can't believe it! Crazy, eh?

Christine.

Paul.

Who could have imagined?

It is awful.

Is it true that Barbara is dead?

Yes.

Paul, listen.

You know that we've often
had our differences.

If I've ever offended you, I...

I am sorry.

That's kind of you.

And...

And your Rosa...

She's doing a really great job.

Hats off to her.

Good night.

To you too.

-Come, my darling. Let's go home.
-Yes.

And... Daniel?

He'll join us later.

-Yes.
-Come.

Maybe Barbara was right.

It may have been better
if the truth was never known.

No.

Everyone has a right to know it.

Why did I have to tell them?

Who else could have done it?

What's going to happen
with the real estate venture?

Baroudi phoned us last night.

He has decided to continue
despite all that has happened.

That's good news for you, eh?

Have you spoken to your father?

Have you spoken to Jakob?

What am I supposed to say to him?

Hi, I'm your brother.
How about a beer?

That would be a good start,
wouldn't it?

True enough.

Rosa, you'll have to say goodbye
to him forever too.

To whom?

Markus.

Where is he going?

-For her, the children never--
-To Heaven!

They're all going back to Heaven.

Paul.

What is it?

Come on. Let's go far away from here.

Is this a bad time?

No.

I was thinking...

Come on in.

Yes?

Prepaid, no SMS texts,
the number is unidentifiable too.

It was only used to call one number
which was also from a prepaid SIM.

We haven't located it yet,

but we have determined its zone.

Oberwies?

Even more precise than that!

Come in!

Sorry to disturb you yet again.

I had promised
not to bother you anymore,

but I have one last question.

As I was walking

By the clear fountain

I found the water so lovely

I had to bathe

I've loved you for so long

I will never forget you

I've loved you for so long

I will never forget you

You're selling your souls
to the Devil!

What is it, my darling?

I bet he has never seen
a billy goat before!

Are you sure?

You'll regret you ever came here!

Believe me!

Some skeletons
are best left in the cupboard.

It could be anyone here.

Maybe, maybe not.

Rosa, we have something to tell you.

Your father and I
have decided to sell up.

Just like that, right away?

We don't want to
live in this house anymore.

With all that has happened here...

We're going to take a vacation.

Your father has always dreamed
of traveling around Australia.

Yes, I'd like a bit of warmth.

What do you think?

You've been telling us
to sell for years.

I'm a bit surprised.

Nothing's keeping us here anymore.

It doesn't matter where we go
as long as it's elsewhere.

You're leaving too, anyway.

You've got your training in America.

Who is it?

No one.

Well, then...

Here's to you!

Yes, good idea. To us!

And our family.

You're the first woman to do it.

Show the Yanks who's boss!

Her name is Zilla.

What happened to you, Glutz?

Nothing. I tripped.

You may tell other people fibs,
but you won't convince me.

Here.

Keep the change.

It was Paul.

Eh?

Paul did this to me
because of Christine.

I don't follow.

Christine and I had an affair
for two years.

Really?

-Yes?
-Rosa, you have a visitor.

-Please come in.
-Thank you.

-Hi.
-Hi.

New shoes?

They're not my style,
but they keep my feet warm.

Are you moving out?

I must've packed and unpacked
100 times in the last two weeks.

But I have to go now.

I'm suffocating.

I understand.

I finally got some info

on that prepaid SIM's number.

Oh yeah?

I went back and saw Amina in hospital

and I showed her a few clips
from the ceremony videos.

I know who else was at Armon's
on the night of the m*rder...

while your mother
was having a nice time with Glutz.

I think
you know who it was too, don't you?

You have no proof whatsoever.

You have nothing.

Amina recognized his voice.
I'm sorry.

Leave me alone!

Rosa, wait!

Where are you going?

Please tell me it's not true.

Dad!

I...

We...

We went in the back door...

of the studio.

We only wanted
to bring him to his senses,

to stop him defying fate
by stirring up all that sh*t

in his biography, or whatever.

I never intended to snitch on you.

I don't do that kind of thing.

But he kept on making fun of us.

Are you worried about your new job?

A deadly avalanche

wouldn't look good on your CV.

I tried to calm things down a bit.

We said it would stay between us,
so keep your mouth shut!

Why, Paul?

You don't want to tell Christine

what you've been hiding
all these years?

I wasn't even there that day.

I said nothing for your benefit!
For you!

No, you did it for yourself.

You didn't want to admit to Christine

that you were responsible
for your own son's death.

But you weren't with them!

I told them I wanted nothing to do
with the whole business,

that it was far too dangerous.

But I still wanted to help them,

so I gave them the keys to the store
where I kept the dynamite

because I was
an avalanche control blaster.

They assured me
everything would be fine.

How was I to know
that their "specialist"

would blow himself up
along with half the mountain?

Why didn't you give yourself up?

To look Christine...

in the eyes...

and admit to her that Markus...

died because of me?

No...

What exactly happened
that night at Armon's?

Wouldn't you like to be able
to look at yourself in the mirror

without feeling sick?

That would be nice, eh?

You know nothing about real life!

You've never had a wife or child.

Yeah, you're right.

I've never had a child

because you forced your daughter
to have an ab*rtion.

But I would've been
a better father than you.

Which isn't difficult.

At that moment,
I felt a huge wave of anger.

Now f*ck off and leave me alone.

I turned around,
the hammer was there, and...

He collapsed in a heap.

Blood started spurting out.

It was everywhere,
all over the floor.

Just after that,
we heard the daughter.

We couldn't have known
there was someone else with him.

I didn't want to...

but Barbara said
everything would be fine.

Stay here and don't move.

Above all, don't touch anything
before I come back.

I don't know
why she wanted to protect me.

She must have pitied me.

And you'd like us
to pity you too, eh?

-Did you know too?
-No!

What didn't I know?

Here.

Thank you.
