PREVIOUSLY

Who knows
where the bird found that bone?

I'll pass it on to the lab.

Markus would have been 38 today.

It seems impossible to imagine.

You are radiant.

Rosa...

Maybe we should leave too.

I'm one of the last farmers
in the area.

Madam Attorney General.

-Well?
-It's him.

I'm almost certain of it.

We need proof
if we want to catch him.

A new source of life
will spring forth in your village.

Congratulations, you bunch of morons!

You're selling your soul
to the devil!

Excuse me, your restrooms, please?

Eh?

Amina.

We have to go.

She's not bad, your biographer.

And intelligent too.

-Are you free in the next few days?
-I'm off abroad on Monday.

Come see me tomorrow, then.

Black fibers
all over the hammer handle.

Woolen gloves: Amina's.

Amina.

If I lead the search,
it'll be done my way.

-I'll take charge of it.
-OK.

What's up?

I've had a good think
and I want to lead the investigation.

I'm the best person for the job.

Listen, Rosa.
It's a case for the Crime Squad.

I think we've already discussed this.

I know the local area
better than anyone.

Exactly.
You are too involved in the case.

She could lead our team.

We need another person.

Rosa, I know
you're a very good investigator,

but I thought you wanted to train
over in the USA.

You need to go.
Your future is at stake.

That's my decision to make.

Barbara.

Apart from the macabre graffiti
left by the kidnapper,

we still have no other clues

as to Amina Al-Baroudi's whereabouts.

A press conference will take place
later in the day.

-We--
-We're here, Mrs. Al-Baroudi.

Thank you.

sh*t!

Madam.

Where is she?

My darling...

we will find her.

For sure.

Mrs. Al-Baroudi?

Hello, I am Martin Rindlisbacher.

I'm the hotel manager.

I'm so sorry

we had to meet
under such circumstances.

If I can be of any help...

Please excuse me.

No, no, no.

-Absolutely not.
-I just want--

-Get out.
-OK, I'm going.

EPISODE 2
THE KEY

Why do people love the mountains?

They're like a big stone cage.

Well...

I imagine
some people feel safe in them.

What do you want from me?
I can't help you.

Can't?

Or won't?

As her bodyguard,

you must've known that Amina
was having an affair with Armon Todt.

What else are you hiding?

I wouldn't be here
if I knew where she was.

How long
have you worked for the Baroudis?

Six years.

What did you do before?

What business is it of yours?

It's up to me to decide that.

Your job is to find Amina.

You're wasting precious time.

Your job was to keep an eye on Amina.

Do you know
what makes a good bodyguard?

Instinct. You need
to be able to anticipate things.

You need to be able to sense
where risk is coming from in advance.

You knew it was coming.

I can recognize a threat
when I see one.

The police will find her.

How do you know?

What do you know
about this terrible place?

My daughter.

Aïsha, please... We will find her.

We'll do all we can.

If you had been more careful...

You've always let her do
what she wanted.

And look where we are now!

They don't want us here.

Haven't you noticed?

VILLAGE STORE

I've hardly slept
with all this going on.

-It's scary.
-Yes.

I hope the girl's still alive.

Did you hear about Armon?

Poor bugger was beaten to death
apparently.

Yes, it's horrible!

Who could do such a thing?

That said,
given how the Baroudis behave...

I'm not really surprised.

They've made a few enemies
with their building projects.

But what can you do?

-Is Rosa in on the investigation?
-I think so.

But we don't know much.
She doesn't tell us anything.

Amina Al-Baroudi, the daughter
of investor Karim Al-Baroudi,

was last seen in Oberwies
36 hours ago,

at the inauguration ceremony
for the future spa.

According to police,
she was wearing a brown fur coat

and a silver scarf
at the time she went missing.

Police are searching
for witnesses and any clues

that might help them find her.

I don't know what you think,
but it seems obvious to me

that the burning scarecrow threat

only complicates the investigation.

Hey, Roland,

didn't you have something to tell us

about the Baroudis' bodyguard?

Yes...

Rashad Rahmani confirmed
that he went off

to buy an inhaler in the valley
on the evening of the inauguration.

That's true.

We viewed CCTV surveillance

of a snack bar he stopped off at.

His alibi checks out.

In my experience,

the burning scarecrow will be
an unstable person's handiwork.

From now on,
we'll have to be very careful:

people mustn't find out that Amina
was having an affair with Armon.

We don't need a crystal ball
to see the connection.

Stick to your instructions, OK?

Right, as regards how we proceed:

Res and I have agreed

that Rosa will lead the local teams.

But the Crime Squad inspector
will lead the investigation.

Kaegi is not here yet,
so go ahead, Rosa.

Right, then.

With all this evidence,

the theory that Amina k*lled Armon
no longer seems likely.

It really looks like a kidnapping.

-Morning, everybody.
-Good morning.

-Are you going to take over?
-No, no.

I'll let our young colleague
carry on.

Armon might well have tried
to prevent Amina being kidnapped.

That could well have cost him
his life.

Any thoughts on the fibers from
Amina's gloves found on the weapon?

Maybe she defended herself
with the hammer

before the k*ller
caught her unawares.

The k*ller was sure
to be wearing gloves too

and could have hit Armon
with the hammer from behind.

But we have found
no trace of a struggle

or any clue proving
there was a third person there.

Not yet, but the lab's working on it.

It could also have been
just the two of them alone

and Amina was only kidnapped
after the m*rder.

That's plausible too.

All avenues must be considered.

Talking of avenues,

your amateur search teams
have wrecked the local area.

It would be good if we could be
a bit more professional from now on.

This isn't just a case
of a goat being run over.

We need to put pressure
on the kidnapper right away.

It might cause them
to make a mistake.

I'll deal with the Baroudis.

You prepare a list
of all criminals in the region

and people who appear hostile
to the building project.

Even for us, that's not so obvious.

It's hard to know
who's for and who's against.

Really?

Well, I know
at least one Oberwies resident

who is loud and clear
about his opposition to the project.

-Hello.
-Hello.

This is Mr. Kaegi
from the Crime Squad.

Has something happened?

Is your husband there, ma'am?

Paul?

-What's wrong?
-It's just a formality.

Ah, it's him.

Kaegi, Crime Squad.
But I think we've already met.

I remember, yeah.

What did you do the night before last
after the inauguration?

I was taken home.
You were there, you know.

-And then? Did you stay home?
-I stayed here.

I had a headache,
not just because of you either.

Can you confirm that, Mrs. Wilder?

Yes.

We both stayed at home.

Is that all?

Unless you want to check
if Amina is hiding in the sheepfold?

Mrs. Wilder, Mr. Wilder,
thanks for your help.

-Goodbye, Mr...
-Kaegi.

Right, what about you?

Are you staying with us?

If I don't watch him,
he'll accuse the whole village.

Bye.

Jakob, hurry up!

Yeah, I'm coming.

You'll be late for work again.

sh*t.

Especially airports,
but also other border crossings.

It'd be a pity if he dumped her
abroad, behind our backs.

Yes, do that. Keep me updated.

Ah, put him on quickly, then.

Yes, what's up?

Hey, Rosa, what are you doing here?

This isn't your beat.

-Actually, I come from here.
-Really?

It's a beautiful place.

Pity it snows so much.

No usable evidence.

You need to go to the Mobi-Nile.
I've told you three times!

"Mobi," hyphen, "Nile,"
like the river in Egypt.

That's my boss.

Wilder...
I've forgotten her first name.

Yes, she's with me. We're on a case.

Oh, he's cute.

-No, don't tell me...
-Oh yes.

I'll bet you he is.

You need to introduce us, Rosa.

OK, ciao.

Hi.

Ah, there you are.

I thought you'd been kidnapped too.

Very funny.

I nearly started a search operation.

Is it me or are you late on purpose
when we have lots to do?

Not everyone
has your Swiss punctuality.

Right, enough talk, get to work.

Will you not be so hard on Jakob?

If he carries on like this,
his training will come to nothing.

A kitchen requires hard work.

He's well aware of that.

He's making a real effort.

I don't really think
he likes cooking.

He prefers making films.

Making films?

Another artist in the village?

We've seen how they end up.

Why write it in English?

I doubt people from around here
understand the language.

Yes, people from here
can speak English.

But maybe the culprit
doesn't speak our language.

Our tagger is at least 5 foot 11.

Probably a man.
And he's right-handed.

Hi, Rosa.

Back to visit us, eh?

Hello, Peter.

I'm Peter Aeschbacher.

This used to be my field,
then I decided to sell.

Is the scarecrow yours?

Yesterday, it was over there
at the end of the field,

but it's not my scarecrow anymore.

All of this belongs to the Arabs.

Your father could've cashed in too
if he'd wanted.

The Baroudis
can make you rich very fast.

There are more important things
for my father.

I've seen.
Each of us follows his own star.

Right, I'll be off.

Yeah, right, off you go.

Have a good one.

Wilder? Come along.

The locals are really charming.

Peter is harmless.

Do you know everyone here?

Yes, why?

Maybe you should be wary of them.

Did Barbara suggest
that you give me advice?

If it were up to me,
you'd be off the case.

You're not impartial.

But it's not up to you.

Béa?

Béa?

Béa?

Do you want a coffee?

Oh no, not again.

Béa!

Is Kaegi the new boss?

Let's just say
he's overseeing the investigation.

Won't you sit down
and have a bite to eat with us?

I don't have time, I have to go.

Do you have any clues
as to where the girl might be?

Not for the moment.

She shouldn't have succumbed
to old Armon.

He always had a weak spot
for young women.

Did you have much contact with him?

I don't want
to talk about him anymore.

You never want to talk about anything
apart from village gossip.

If you don't like it,
you don't have to stay.

You're off in two days anyway,
aren't you?

She didn't mean it.

I don't care. I know her.

If she had a choice,
she'd rather I weren't here.

No, that's not true.

She's just worried about you.

What's your decision on California?

It might be a good thing
to start afresh over there

rather than rot away
in this remote village.

I have to go.

Have a good one.

I lost something too.

How could this have happened?
Tell me, dammit!

I knew nothing about it.

Please believe me.

You're either a liar

or a very bad bodyguard.

If you want to fire me,
I'll totally understand.

Bring Amina back first.

And pray
that nothing has happened to her.

Understood?

Yes, sir.

Yes, of course we'll be able
to stick to the schedule.

Absolutely.

Hello, I'm here to see Daniel.

Toby, calm down, please!

Hi.

OK. I have a visitor, I must go.

OK, see you later.

-Hi.
-Hi.

Shall we go next door?

Yes.

-Thank you, goodbye.
-Goodbye.

The suppliers are worried
the project's off.

Would that please a lot of people?

Yes, your father, for example.

Yes. Who else, do you reckon?

He can't be the only one.

Some fields will lose light and views
due to the new buildings.

They'll lose over half their value.

Good, clean air will become scarce
for farmers like your father.

Don't you think it's strange
to build that here?

And don't you think it's strange

to investigate
people from your own village?

Oberwies is not a museum.
We want to be part of the world too.

We have to move with the times.

It's an amazing opportunity
for the village.

This is the new bypass,

with a modern gas station.

It'll mean
less traffic in the village.

The storekeepers
might not be too pleased.

But we'll have more tourists.

Did Armon used to come here a lot?

We hadn't seen him for ages.

Do you remember this?

Daniel!

She has gone again!

Ah, sorry.

It doesn't matter.

Rosa had a few questions for me.

You know each other, don't you?

This is Nicole, my wife.

Vaguely, yes.

You took me rock climbing once.

-Do you remember?
-Oh yes, that's right, sorry.

-Hi.
-Hi.

I went to the launderette and back
and she'd gone.

Hey, what's that?

Is it you two?

Yes.

Armon drew it.

Twenty years ago.

Let's go look for her.

Come have a meal with us
tomorrow evening if you're about.

That's kind, but it depends
how the investigation unfolds.

Come on, or Mom will wander about
in the snow for hours.

Bye, Rosa.

Good luck in your search.

So, she met Armon Todt
while she was studying in London.

I knew it was a bad idea
to send her to a big city all alone.

Amina was
his associate professor in London.

She was greatly interested
in his art.

She was interested in his art...

Might she have made any enemies
during that time?

"Enemies"?

My daughter doesn't have enemies.

She is a quiet girl.

If you didn't waste time
with questions like that,

you might have found her by now.

Has your family
received any threats lately?

Or your company, perhaps?

The more you succeed in life,
the more envy you attract.

But no, no concrete threats.

I don't know anyone
who could do such a thing.

What's up, Werner?

The detection system is operational.

Great, thanks.

Why hasn't the kidnapper
contacted us yet?

I don't know.

Let's wait for the press conference.

What difference will that make?

The culprit wants to draw attention,
hence the graffiti.

We'll give him what he's looking for

and maybe he'll make a mistake.

Right.

I'll see you at the press conference.

In the meantime, think carefully
about what you're going to say.

I always do.

OK.

One last question.

Rahmani, your bodyguard...

what did he do before you hired him?

Rashad?

Er... he did his military service,

then he was trained
in a security company.

-Why?
-I'm just interested. Are you sure?

Of course I'm sure. I'm always
well-informed about my men.

Until yesterday, you knew nothing

about your daughter's relationship
with Armon Todt.

Goodbye.

Do you know
where the photo was taken?

Going by just the clothes,
it's hard to say.

Everyone wears clothes like that
in those places.

Do you recognize
the mountain in the background?

-I'd need to look at it more closely.
-OK.

All I can say is, it's not the Alps.

Fine.

Hurry up and analyze the photo,
then call me.

-Good luck, my friend.
-You too.

-Bye.
-Ciao.

VILLAGE STORE OPEN

Still chewing that gum are you?

Yes, sometimes.
It helps me de-stress.

Want one?

Daniel showed me
the renovation plans.

You might lose customers

because of the new bypass, eh?

Are you really interested
or are you just being polite?

No, I'm asking as a police officer.

People have been going down
to the valley

to shop in the supermarket
for ages now.

It's cheaper for them.

Why don't you close, then?

We still have a few regulars.

Even though Baroudi
is going to destroy this place.

Do you think that will happen?

Too much money makes people sick.

They all realize it one day.

At the very latest, the day they die.

Amen.

Right, I've got to go.

-Goodbye, Bruno.
-Bye.

Good morning, everyone.

Hello, Thérèse.

Are you feeling better?

Hello, Markus.

No, Tina, we don't shout.

Yes, that's right.

No, she can't have gone far.

Maybe she's up at the church.

-OK, we'll have a look.
-You'll find her eventually.

-Bye.
-Bye.

Béa!

I know it can't go on like this
with Mom.

But it's really hard right now.

This business with the Baroudis
is really tough.

The problem is,
there's always an excuse.

She can't live
in the house like this anymore.

It would be better for all of us.

Aren't I right?

Wilder here.

What? What are you talking about?
The lab?

Ah yes. The bone.

Boo!

Listen, this isn't a good time.
I'm really busy.

Can I call you back?

OK, thanks.

So, you're really busy, are you?

Hello, Glutz.

I have
a few more questions to ask you.

Rosa Wilder.

We don't see you for years

and, suddenly,
you take an interest in us.

They're going to build a gas station

on the new road.

Business might get tough for you.

If you'd rather talk about it
at the station,

I can have you taken down there.

I don't give a damn
about that gas station.

I might even work there.

At least I'd have fixed hours.

What were you doing
the night before last

during the inauguration?

I wasn't partying.

I was working.

Till closing time.

Then I went to bed.

Are you going to ask me who with?

Yes.

Who with?

Alone.

I'm not going to go home
with someone every night

just to have an alibi.

Listen to this.

One person literally reckons
that it might be t*rrorists

lashing out at the Baroudis.

"t*rrorists"?

Do you think they'd be interested
in a gas station being built here?

Or it's the bald guy in the valley.
He has a grudge against Arabs.

Everyone has a grudge
against someone.

-It's also written that next Sunday--
-Stop reading fake news!

Can't you take over here now?

Wait, something's happening
around here for once.

I just want to know what's going on.

How high a ransom

do you think they can ask
for that princess?

Imagine. You could decorate
your apartment in gold.

Come and see what's on TV.

Hello, ladies and gentlemen.

Thank you
for attending this press conference.

We're here to talk about
Amina Al-Baroudi's disappearance.

I am Inspector Manfred Kaegi
of the Crime Squad.

Here with me are Karim Al-Baroudi
and his wife, Aïcha Al-Baroudi...

PRESS CONFERENCE, OBERWIES

...the parents of Amina,
the young woman who has gone missing.

I came here

with the idea of...

of building something

with the residents of Oberwies.

I have always wanted
dialogue and cooperation.

But now, our daughter, Amina,
has been taken away from us

even though she has nothing to do
with any of this.

Although we totally reject blackmail,

we are ready to respond

to the kidnappers' demands.

Please, get in contact with us.

And we will find a solution.

For my part,

I assure you the Crime Squad
is taking all the necessary steps

to bring the perpetrators
of this crime before a court.

If anyone has any clues

that might help us find
Amina Al-Baroudi...

She has done nothing wrong!

My daughter has nothing to do
with any of this. She's innocent!

You're using her for your politics.

She has done nothing wrong.
She's an innocent girl.

-I beg you--
-Aïcha.

Do not harm her.

She is my only child!

Let's go.

As you can imagine,
her family has been badly affected.

Here is a photo
of the person we are looking for:

Amina Al-Baroudi.

When she went missing,

Amina was wearing this scarf
around her neck.

She was also wearing...

these gloves.

And she also had a cell phone

in a case like this.

If you have seen
anything suspicious or unusual,

please contact us ASAP.

Hello, everyone.

-Hello, Robert.
-Hello, Mr. Mayor.

-Is Jakob here?
-Yes, why?

You really are a little b*stard!

What?

Did you see the press conference?

Yes. And?

Are you crazy or what?

What have you done with her?

Nothing at all!

I just found the phone. At the lake.

From now on, you keep quiet. Got it?

Look what we found.

It was at the foot of the Ritzgrat.
We have a poacher.

We've also got the report
on the graffiti from the lab.

The paint used came from a spray can.

I have to go.

What's going on?

See you later.

If Baroudi withdrew
his building project,

it would seriously harm
Switzerland's reputation.

Need I say more?

Yes, I know, but we must concentrate
first and foremost

on this girl's life.

Of course, we're all very concerned.

But what matters most
is that this doesn't get out of hand.

It wouldn't be
in the party's interest.

Don't you think, Mrs. Rossi?

A lot depends on this investigation.

Your career, for example.

Are you aware of that?

Yes, Councilor.
I am well aware of it.

1 MILLION SWISS FRANCS RANSOM

I WILL NOT SELL

sh*t.

Let go of me!

-Stop!
-I haven't done anything!

Hello.

Need some help?

It's our job
to find Amina's kidnapper.

I hope you understand that.

Without me, he would've got away.

You interfered in police procedure...

What is the meaning of this?

I'm leading this investigation.

What's he doing here?

Unlike you,
he was there at the right moment.

Where is she?

I don't know what you mean.

Tell me where Amina is right now!

I have nothing to do with this.

Don't make things complicated.

You created this poster, didn't you?

Yes. And?

I just wanted to scare them.

The burning scarecrow, the graffiti:
was that you too?

Well, it worked, didn't it?

I scared the crap out of the Arabs.

You have no idea
what a mess you've got yourself into.

Now tell us everything you know.

You're scared
for your business, that's all.

I understand that.

He turns up here with his oil money
and does what the f*ck he likes?

Is that why you kidnapped her?

No! I didn't kidnap her.

Unfortunately,
Armon Todt surprised you.

-So, you m*rder*d him.
-No! Are you crazy?

Did you fall on your head
or something?

I am not a m*rder*r!

Contact us when you know more.

Still nothing.

The mechanic claims
he had nothing to do with it.

Do we just sit here and wait?

What about your contacts?
You must do something.

She left that in my toilets.

Her driver will tell you that.

Why should we believe you
when you won't cooperate?

If you tell us now where Amina is,
the court might be lenient.

I don't know where that b*tch is.

CANTON POLICE

I reckon he's looking for attention.

I don't trust him
for a single second.

-See you in a minute.
-OK.

We've finished at the gas station.

But we didn't find much of interest.

Nothing interesting

apart from this key
that you gave me earlier.

Well?

It doesn't open anything.

We haven't found what it's for.

Go on, tell us.

You don't want to know.

Enough of the bullshit!
Do you want to rot in prison?

She's cute when she gets angry,
little wild thing.

Try to calm down.

Let's deal with this quietly
and he'll talk.

I won't say anything else
till I get a lawyer.

He refuses to talk without a lawyer.

A public lawyer is on his way.

I'll try to join you this evening.

I may get him to talk. Who knows?

Don't do anything silly, Kaegi.
The situation is delicate enough.

Fine. I won't.

MISSING
AMINA AL-BAROUDI

We have the lab results

on the bone you found.

It belonged to a man
aged between 20 and 30.

And he died around 30 years ago.

What's that?

That was inside the boot.

They're initials: D.S.

No one puts their initials
in their shoes.

I always used to mark my shoes,
at summer camp.

That's what we used to do.

Where is he?

I want to talk to the man.

That's not possible.

The police have to question him.

Rosa?

-We're waiting for the lawyer.
-My daughter could die.

And you just stay here waiting!

Let us do our job, Mr. Al-Baroudi.

I'm her father,
I have a right to be here!

-Let me by!
-Wait!

Rashad.

We understand your grief,
we're doing all we can to find her.

You're doing all you can?

Do you have children?

No.

You must find my daughter.

Let's hear from Jenny Langenegger
in Oberwies.

Perhaps she has new information.

The police are still in the dark.

There seem to be no proper clues

to help police locate
the missing girl.

Was she kidnapped by an opponent
of her father's real estate project?

Or is she on the run
as a m*rder suspect herself?

Is there a link

between her disappearance

and the m*rder
of famous artist, Armon Todt?

The last time they were both seen
was at the inauguration ceremony

of the large-scale project
in Oberwies.

Here she is with the village mayor,
Robert Raeber.

Why is the mayor on your back
constantly at the moment?

No reason.

I have only one thing to say to you:
take care with him.

He has deaths on his conscience.

Come on, children.

Let's do
"Ring-a-round the rosie" now.

Come on, hold hands.

Let's all hold hands.

Come on, let's sing!

Come on, sing!

Béa!

Let's all sing together.

Let's all sing together!

Béa.

Come on, let's go home.

Come on.

Let's go home and get warm, OK?

You know,

the children talked to me
about the missing woman.

They want, they want--

Honey, everything's fine, I promise.

They're all in bed already.
They're asleep.

-Are you sure?
-Absolutely certain.

Come on,
it's time to go to sleep now.

-OK.
-There we go.

Thank you.

Sweet dreams.

Two smelly feet and two cabbages.

That's right.

That's right.

Thank you.

Good night.

I hope for you
that you told me the truth.

Do you know what'll happen
if you lied?

Rosa!

You'd better not lead me
up the garden path!

Rosa, help!

OK, I think I know where she is:

in his hunting shack on the Ritzgrat.

Are you coming?

I can always go alone.

Amina?

Is someone there?

There's no one here.
He was jerking us around.

He doesn't come here just to hunt.

There's something else.

Wilder?

Looks like the landslide
left its mark.

THE OBERWIES TRAGEDY

"The twelve dead."

All children, right?

My brother died in the accident.

Really? I didn't know, sorry.

Neratom drilled around here
in the '80s

to establish a temporary storage site

for the National Radioactive Waste
Management Service.

WAS IT REALLY A NATURAL DISASTER?

When the mountainside
collapsed in 1987,

one theory was
that the drilling had caused it.

Some people around here
seem to believe that still.

We're here for Amina, aren't we?

Ah, there you are.

-I think these are yours.
-Where did you find them?

You know full well.

What do you want? Why did you come?

I love you. Come on, one last time!

That's enough!

NEXT TIME ON WILDER

Where is she? Where is she?

Your wife's waiting inside.

See you soon.

I can't cover your back forever,
Kaegi.

What do you want?

People on the same side
should help each other.
