02x01 - Plastic Wrap

[bunniefuu]

[unsettling music playing]

[Blum] They say that only once
you've lost everything

do you realize what's really
important to you.

The problem is

that by then it might be too late.

[unsettling music swells]

[Jaunig] God forgives us of our sins.

[Blum] I'll never forgive
my husband's m*rder*r.

WOMAN OF THE DEAD

[grunting]

No.

Faster. Yeah.

That's it.

[Blum grunting]

-[music fades out]
-[objects clattering]

[sighs]

Nela?

Yeah, I know, no phones at the table.

She's not at the table.

This isn't about you.

-But put it away when we eat, okay?
-Yeah.

But we're not eating yet.

It must be urgent.

-Who is it?
-Mom!

[whispers] It's her boyfriend.

-I think so too.
-Hey.

Hm?

What do you say we go
to the cemetery tomorrow?

Sure.

When's Reza coming?

I don't know. Probably soon.

-Please sign.
-Certainly.

[machinery whirring]

There.

Thank you.

[machinery continues whirring]

[ominous music playing]

[music fades out]

I'm finished. Hey, can I go upstairs?
A friend and I are gonna game.

-Right now?
-It's the holidays.

Okay. But only till nine.

-[Tim] Mom.
-What?

[sighs exasperatedly]

[sternly] Nela, put your phone away.

-Hey.
-[Reza] Hey.

There you are. What took so long?

Can you help me with
Mrs. Konczyk for a minute?

-Is it your arm?
-[Reza] What?

Yeah, that's right.

We'll be right back.

[somber music playing]

[Blum] What's going on?

Reza.

We have a problem.

-With Mrs. Konczyk?
-No.

-With Sattler.
-Sattler?

[gasps softly] It's been two years.

I just passed by the cemetery

and saw Blakic digging up the grave.

[groans]

Some dispute with the inheritance
and a DNA comparison.

f*ck.

[Reza] If they open up the grave tomorrow,

do you remember who you put
in there with Sattler?

[groans] Um…

Maybe, uh, Edwin Schönborn? I don't know.

It could've been Bertl Puch.
I have no idea.

[Reza sighs]

What now?

[music grows tense]

[Blum] Four.

Oh, sh*t. Five.

[grunting] Six.

sh*t.

-f*ck, f*ck, f*ck.
-[dog barking in distance]

We have to go.

[Blum] I don't have everything.

[grunting] Seven.

Eight.

sh*t, sh*t. I'm missing something.

[siren approaching]

-Too bad. Come on.
-Huh?

sh*t.

[music intensifies]

Run, run, run!

-sh*t, sh*t, sh*t!
-I'm sure nobody saw it was us.

-I don't have them all.
-What's missing?

-Somebody's head is missing.
-Damn.

-We have to go get it.
-Blum!

-What?
-No way.

I don't want to go to prison
for the rest of my life.

Listen, a court official will
take Sattler's DNA sample tomorrow.

If you couldn't find anything else,
they won't either.

Yeah, or they'll look closer now since
there were people at the grave tonight.

[grunts in frustration] f*ck!

[dramatic music playing]

[music ends]

[Blum] The police
haven't found anything yet.

I'll drive to the cemetery
and ask Blakic what happened.

And what if they find
the rest of the remains, Reza?

-[Danzberger] Hello.
-Hey, Captain.

-[Danzberger] Hello.
-Hey.

And you're certain that these parts
are not from the person whose grave it is?

Yeah, they were just in the coffin.
Bonus bones.

And there is a witness
who says they think they saw

two individuals
around the cemetery last night?

That's right. Mrs. Hofer.
Lives in that house there.

She saw them in the grave she said.

Mmm.

The question is whether these individuals

wanted to return the remains or were
interrupted while trying to take them out.

We might find out who
the remains belong to through a DNA test

but we'll need a sample for comparison.

[Danzberger] Mm.

-The foil?
-Cellophane.

Body parts wrapped in cellophane.

m*rder?

Of course, you can survive
with a severed hand, right?

Or rather without one.

The head, that's harder.

Do we have an estimate as to how long ago…

the parts were severed?

Two years, according to forensics.

The cellophane delayed decomposition, so…

Mm-hm.

[ominous music playing]

sh*t.

Sabine. I'm gonna need
to speak with the BKA immediately.

Okay.

[ominous music swells]

[unsettling music playing]

[music ends]

[Nela] Can we go?

-Uh, go where?
-Seriously?

What?

-You forgot.
-To see Dad and Grandpa.

Oh no.

-You can't go to the cemetery.
-Why?

Be… because I have some work.
[clears throat]

I'll change quick
and then I'll come with you.

No. Tim and I can go alone.

-Nela.
-But wait. The three of us--

[Nela] Come on.

[sighs]

f*ck.

[church bells ringing]

It'd be nice if Mom were here.

Yeah, but she's not.

Reza could join us sometime.

But would Dad be good with that?

Why not? Dad liked Reza.

I guess you're oblivious, huh?

Why do we still come to this place?

It's not even like they know.

[intriguing music playing]

I'm going to meet someone.

-Uh, and you think I can walk alone?
-Yeah.

[car door opening and closing]

-[officer] Stop. Hold on.
-On your left.

Thank you.

[Danzberger] Officer Wallner.
It's been a long time.

-About two years?
-Yes.

This is Officer Lambert.

Daniel,
this is Officer Wallner from the BKA.

Two years ago you had a motto.
"No body, no m*rder."

Yes.

Right now we're assuming that the remains
do in fact belong to Edwin Schönborn.

Because of the ring.

Our lab will deliver the DNA results
by tonight or in the morning.

Today.

Well, we haven't found anything off
except that everything's in cellophane.

I wouldn't have thought
Massimo could've k*lled and dismembered

someone like this k*ller has.

You think it was your
coworker who did this?

Yes, of course.
He disappeared at the very same time.

I went through the files again.

The mortician was suspicious if I recall.

And a mortician would
have access to the cemetery.

Officer Wallner.
We worked the case together.

You and I both interrogated her.

She was the last person Edwin
Schönborn saw before he died.

Yeah, but only because she was--

She let him take photos
of her in her underwear.

-[Danzberger] Yes, that's right.
-Then he vanished.

That's Officer Wallner.

Well? Did you miss me?

Hey!

[both laughing]

Of course I did. I haven't
seen you in nearly a day now.

An eternity, hm?

What did you say to your mom today, huh?

Nothing.

[sighs] Nothing.
So I'm nothing to you now?

Come on.

She's just weird.

Close your eyes, okay?

Hm?

[laughs] Okay.

Now hold out your hands.

-Open?
-Yeah.

[chuckles]

Do you like it?

"Forever" is really long.

-That's your reaction to my gift?
-[laughs]

No. Alex this is so sweet.

So you like it, then?

Mm-hm.

[gentle music playing]

Thank you. I love it.

Good. I'm glad.

[intriguing music playing]

[music fades out]

[Johanna] In the last few years,

we've added nearly 50 miles
of slopes to our resorts.

The company has
also built five new hotels.

Three in our coveted four-star
family friendly neighborhood,

and two five-star luxury hotels,

all with enough capacity for your clients.

We have made Bad Annenhof
one of the ultimate sporting spots.

-Yes.
-In both winter and in summer.

Now if I could just take a quick call.

-And Thomas can answer any questions.
-Yes, certainly. Please.

Good, then I'll dive right in.

Uh, we heard you were having
problems with your permit?

No, no problems at all. No.

What's going on, Willie?

I've just come from the cemetery.
I don't know if you've already heard.

No. What?

We found the remains
of another body in an old coffin.

And on one hand there was…

a signet ring.

My Edwin?

I'm very sorry.

Hm.

At least I can finally bury him.

[Danzberger] Yes.

Of course,
the investigation will be reopened.

The federal officer who worked
the case before is here.

Of course, I'll keep you updated on
the status of the investigation. Um…

However, to be completely sure
that it is really Edwin, we would need

for you to provide us with a DNA sample.

Yes.

Certainly.

[melancholy music playing]

[music fades out]

I'm sorry, Mrs. Konczyk.
I have to do this.

It's fine dear, I've always been petite.
[chuckles]

"My ballerina,"
as Heinrich used to call me. [giggles]

Hopefully I'll see him again soon.

I know you will.

[dark music playing softly]

There.

Finished.

You're not finished.

You don't really believe
you'll ever rid yourself of what you did.

[dark music swells]

You have no idea who you're dealing with!

-Who k*lled my husband?
-[bone crunching]

[saw whirring]

[Blum shouting] Who?

[music ends]

I didn't know how you like your coffee so…

Uh, thanks.

Black.

I need access to the Wi-Fi also?

Yeah. I'll bring that right to you.

Where's Danzberger?

With Mrs. Schönborn, as far as I know.

[horn honking]

Guys, I'll see you there.

-Hi, Auntie.
-Well? Come, I'll drive you home.

-Actually, I have plans right now.
-Get in, please.

Just one sec!

It's so nice to see you again.

You're having a good time
with your friends?

Yeah. I was.

I could see that.

[chuckles] Don't worry,
I'm not watching you.

It was purely a coincidence I saw you
with Mrs. Blum's daughter, I promise.

Yeah, I… I like her, you know?
We like each other.

How cute.

You'll be a man very soon.

And men have to make tough decisions

while remembering that
every decision has a consequence.

I… I don't understand
what you mean by that.

The Blums don't fit in with us.

There are rumors in town about the mother,

and it does not do us any good
when you're seen with that girl.

The Schönborns wouldn't be here

had we not made sacrifices.

Do you understand what I mean?

Hm?

-I've got to go.
-Mm-hm.

[engine starts]

[gentle string music playing]

Like this. Then…

Now this. And…

Okay, okay. Off you go.

[Tim] I'll figure it out tomorrow.

Sleep tight.

The authorities will show up here
very soon and turn everything upside down.

[string music grows ominous]

We got lucky for a while.

I don't want to go jail.

I don't want my children
to see me that way.

They never will.

And if we're interrogated,
our statements will line up.

I'D LIKE TO GO HERE AFTER I GRADUATE.
WILL YOU COME WITH ME?

[calming music playing]

I'LL HAVE TO SEE.

SURE. BUT I'VE GOT MY APPRENTICESHIP HERE.
WITH MY AUNT.

SO 4EVER ISN'T THAT LONG AFTER ALL,
OR WHAT?

[music fades out]

[unsettling music playing]

[car door opens]

[dog barking in distance]

Has our guest arrived yet?

I could just as easily
have done it, you know.

I want it outside of our circle.

I know you could have taken care of it
easily, Tamar, but I need you here.

Brynner's a professional.

Quiet and clean.

I know Damian is excited to see you.

[door slams]

[shuddering breaths]

Boss, please.

There were vents for air.

[sniffles]

They had enough water.

But why are we here?

Uh, what?

We're here for business.

But if you spoil the goods, I lose money.

[crying]

[Sarkissian] Dead people
don't make very good product.

It wasn't my fault. I…

[Sarkissian] I can't
let carelessness slide.

Or everyone will do whatever they want.

[whimpering] Please…

-[phone ringing]
-[softly] Please.

[Sarkissian] Yes?

Are you certain?

Good.

I want it to be visible.

[Damian] Please… Please don't do this.

Stop. Please, don't do this.

[sobbing] No, please.

No.

I'm begging you.

Please no!

No! Please!

-[screaming]
-[wet cracking and tearing]

[unsettling music fades out]

[Thomas] If we made cuts in the
wellness area, we could save quite a bit.

Certainly not.
In ten years, there won't even be snow.

Wellness is our life insurance policy,
look for cuts elsewhere.

We need to make sure
the hotel gets finished.

[phone buzzing]

I… must be excused for a moment.

Okay.

[bell dinging]

What a lovely surprise. Dear Sarkissian.

I'm sorry about the death of your son.

How fast word gets around now.

Thank you.

Will this create a problem?

I have everything under control.

They won't find a thing.

-Can I depend on you for that?
-Mm-hm.

The hotel is on hold?

Since when do you listen to hearsay?

Get rid of the problem.

Or I will.

Perhaps I could get a second
construction company involved.

Then we'd open in just three weeks,

and could start accepting reservations
as soon as next week.

[sighs deeply, clears throat]

[intriguing music playing]

[Reza] Dinner's ready.

[music fades out]

Nela!

[grunts]

Where is she?

Probably upstairs.

[Blum] Nela!

Oh. Wow! [chuckles]

Uh, what?

[Blum] You're so beautiful.

Are you okay, Mom?

Who are you meeting up with?

With No-One-You-Know.

-[Blum] Mmm.
-See you.

Will you be coming home tonight?

Pfft. I don't know.

Send me a text every now and then
so I know you're all right.

[Nela] Okay, if I remember.

We have to start heading out too. Come.

Uh… To where?

Daniel's father is
taking us up to the ski lodge.

Come on!

-I'm sorry.
-[Reza] Let's get your skis.

[suspenseful music playing]

[music fades out]

Have you processed my request finally?

We have no motive
or substantial evidence against her.

We can't just go and arrest her.

The remains were in a coffin
belonging to one of her clients.

And DNA testing will likely
show them to be one of those men

who went missing two years ago.

But "likely" isn't enough
for an arrest warrant.

It's my reputation on the line here.

I don't think Bruenhilde Blum
is going to come with me.

Then be nice to her.

Maybe she'll be glad
to clear up any discrepancies

or misunderstandings from two years ago.

I'll try.

[tense music playing]

[music ends]

[clattering in distance]

Reza?

[suspenseful music playing]

[clattering]

[breathing anxiously]

-[man growls]
-[Blum yelps]

[intense music playing]

What do you want? Who are you?

-[Blum grunting]
-[man straining]

[Blum grunting]

[man yelling]

[Blum grunting]

f*ck you!

[exclaiming painfully]

-[yelling]
-[Blum yelps]

No! No!

[man screaming]

[music reverberates and fades out]

[engine cuts off]

[tires screeching]

[dark music playing]

[music fades out]

Blum?

Here.

What happened?

I don't know.

Ow.

There was a man searching the office.

I tried to fight him.

-He took off.
-Did you know him?

Mm-mm.

We have to disinfect that.

He's hurt too.

-[Reza] Mm.
-[moans softly]

I think it'd be better if I just go.

Easier for you all.

We need to keep calm.

If you were to disappear now,
it'd look suspicious.

We'll get through this.

Together.

And we're done.

-How long will it take?
-Not very long.

Can I see him?

Honestly, I'd advise against it.

I must see him again.

His… remains are still undergoing
analysis in Innsbruck.

As soon as they've been released,
we'll call.

-[knock on door]
-Yes, what?

Thank you for your assistance,
Mrs. Schönborn,

as I said, I'll be in touch soon.

What now?

Let's call in Blum for questioning.

Morning.

[somber music playing]

SIGNET RING

It wasn't a coincidence.

Meaning what?

A robbery following the exhumation.

They're connected. Trust me.

Think about it. Who do you think
could've found out this fast?

Reza, we live in a village.
Johanna Schönborn for one.

I don't see why anyone would
connect you to the body parts.

-[car approaching]
-[car door opening]

[exhales] sh*t.

[doorbell ringing]

[sighs]

BKA, good evening.
Wallner. This is Officer Lambert.

-Mr. Shadid?
-Yeah.

We need to speak
to Bruenhilde Blum, please.

I'm sorry. She can't talk now.

Well, can we come in?

What is this regarding?

I'd like to discuss that
with you and Mrs. Blum. All right?

[footsteps approaching]

[sighs] Yes? What is it?

Good to see you.

-Wallner, BKA.
-Yeah. Nice to see you again.

We have some questions regarding the death
of your acquaintance, Edwin Schönborn.

We need you both to come with us.

Death?

Do you have an arrest warrant?

No warrant needed for questioning.

Yeah. It's okay. We're coming.

It's not a problem.

And the kids?

I think this misunderstanding
will get easily cleared.

How easily it's cleared up is all on you.

Hm.

Then I'll give my daughter a quick call.

Are you hurt?

Yeah, a coffin, uh, lid.

[chuckles awkwardly] Dangerous job.

[clears throat] Nela, Reza and I
won't be here when you get back.

Nothing to worry about.

I love you.

-Hey.
-Hi.

Uh…

Yeah. I wasn't sure if you'd still come.

Yeah, me too.

[wind gusting]

I'm sorry about yesterday.

No, I'm sorry.
I wasn't trying to ambush you.

-Well, New Zealand sounds great.
-[chuckles]

All right, come.

I'm still here.

Have Mrs. Schönborn's
DNA test results come in yet?

We expect them by morning.

I'll start anyway.

We can't keep her here
for long without a warrant.

Even though we both know
what the results will show.

Yeah. But even if it matches,

it still wouldn't be
enough to implicate her.

-Let's go.
-Officer Wallner.

You can't just come here
when you want to and stir up trouble.

You're wrong. I can. It's my job.

If there's no trouble, then I'll leave.
