"INSPECTOR REX" "ESCAPE TO DEATH" "Turn it down." "Turn it down!" "What's going on?" " I'll have a look." " Don't." "We're nearly there." "Exactly." "I don't want any trouble." "What's up?" "Vasily... dead." "Shit!" "No one says anything, or I get the police." "Come and help." "One of them's croaked." "Shit." " What's happened?" " Just look." "Give me a hand." "We must get rid of him." " Shit." " Take his feet." "What a bloody pain." "Why?" "He's already paid." "It's his bad luck." " Hey..." " What?" "Shouldn't we let them out?" "When the others get here." "We're too obvious at present." "What if someone finds the dead bloke?" "Maybe no one will." "Besides, it's just another corpse." "Yes... but in a garbage skip?" "You were no better off a few weeks ago." " Been here long?" " We just got here." "Can we unload?" "Anxious to be rid of your Russians, eh?" "How many are there?" "Four." "One didn't show in Hungary." "He must think he's better off in Kiev!" "Out!" "Come on." "Out you come." "Quick." "Quick smart." "Come on." "Come on." "Move it." "They look pretty frozen." "The sun only shines in the West." "You'll take them from here?" "As always." "Come out." "Quick." "Faster." "Come on!" "In there." "Quick!" "Come on." " Any more?" " That's all for today." "A lot of new arrivals, eh?" "A lot of young Russians want to go west." "8... 9... 40." "1... 2... 3..." "Rex, where are you?" "You always disappear before exercises, don't you?" "You ought to follow my lead." "46... 47... 8... 9... 50!" "Now what?" "Want to see who's stronger, do you?" "All right." "Go on!" "Get the rope." "Go on." "Good." "Pull, pull." "Go on." "Pull, pull!" "Pull." "Good!" "The dog books say you must let the doggie win occasionally." "Did you read that book too?" "Don't hurry." "This early it can only be Stockinger." "We won't fight over the phone today, okay?" "Hi, Stocki." "I was afraid it would be you." "Where exactly?" "We're coming." "Rex, we've got work." "What have we got?" "Discolouration and even necrosis due to the effect of extreme cold." "Anything else?" "A small head wound, but it's harmless." "It looks as if he froze to death." "In the middle of August?" "One second." "Rex!" "Nice to see you again." "Yes, thank you." "That's nice." "Thank you." "You never greet me that warmly, Doctor." "Of course not." "You mean work." "Stay, Rex." "Male corpse." "No lD." "He probably froze to death some time last night." "Wasn't there a similar case?" "Yes." "A frozen corpse was found in a car park closer to town." "Probably an illegal immigrant from the East." "It wasn't solved." "I'll ask for a copy of the autopsy report." "All right?" "Good idea." "Do that." "Well..." "Let's look around." " Is that anything?" " It's wet." "Probably just water." "I can't test all the water I find." "I'd like a sample of that, though." "You really think it will work?" "You'll see." "Bingo!" "Now what do you say?" "I'm speechless." "I wonder what he smelled." "The dead man froze to death, right?" "But according to Dr Graf, not where we found him." " So what does that mean?" " He died elsewhere." "Good." "Where?" "The body had been subject to extreme cold for some time, according to Dr Graf." "Jesus!" "A refrigerated truck." "Great, Stocki!" "And what do they transport?" " Food." "Vegetables, meat..." " Exactly." "Now you know what Rex smelt." " I'll have a look around." " Okay." "Us too." "Come, Rex." "What is it?" "Have you found something?" "Okay, seek!" "Bark if you find..." "So that's it!" "You're really meant to be working." "Oh well!" "Everyone's entitled to a private life." "Are you referring to yourself, or to your dog?" "Both of us, but it's easier for him." "I mean, he has more spare time and so on." "And he needn't waste time on small talk." "I didn't want to be blunt." "Do you come here often?" "Yes, I cycle along here." "But you're not from around here." "We'd have noticed you two." "I'm not here for pleasure." "I'm a detective." "You're a detective?" "Is anything wrong?" "We found a corpse nearby and a clue led us to this parking site." " Have you noticed anything?" " No..." "Or maybe I have." "I've seen a van parked over there." "Two or three times." "And..." "You didn't happen to see the licence plate?" "No, I didn't look." "But I noticed the driver never got out." "You don't know the colour and make?" "No." "I'm not a car buff." "But I do know it was dark red." "You're sure?" "Yes." "I've seen it on the road once or twice." "Close by." "Do you think it could be a local vehicle?" "I couldn't say." "A lot of trucks pass by here on their way to the garbage tip." "Now what?" "Do we wait for the red van?" "We'll ask the workers." "Maybe one of them has seen the van." "I've seen enough garbage." "Time for a change of air." "It really stinks here." "Rub this under your nose." "It works wonders." "It's strong." "What is it?" "Peppermint." "It's Dr Graf's idea." "You can't smell anything else." "He needs it for some corpses." "Rex!" "Rex, come here." "What's the matter?" "I think he's found something." "Found something?" "Do you want to get in amongst that?" "Okay." "What is it?" "Good." "Where did you smell something?" "Isn't that taking it a bit too far?" "Look at the stuff that's lying around." "He could get blood poisoning." "Bark if you smell something." "Good." "Seek!" "Good, Rex." "What have you found?" "Let's have a look." "Shit!" "Oh God." "I've never seen anything like it." "Can you tell us anything yet?" "Well, I found the remains of two males at the tip packed in five plastic bags." "But your men are still looking." "Same cause of death?" "Yes, an overdose of halothane." "It's an anaesthetic." "An anaesthetic?" "Why would you kill someone like that?" "Their kidneys are missing." "What?" "You heard right." "Their kidneys are missing." "They've been expertly removed." "Presumably the work of traffickers in human organs." "My God." "They bring the poor sods here from Russia and use them as organ donors." "It's possible." "Clear that up, would you?" "If they're here illegally, no one reports them missing." "And they can scarcely turn to the authorities for help." "What does a kidney fetch?" "About 50,000 dollars on the black market." "Greed knows no bounds." "What bastard would do a thing like that?" "These days you must expect anything of anyone, Richie." "But the logistics..." "You need a doctor, an operating theatre..." "Not necessarily." "To remove someone's kidneys you don't need a theatre." "Relatively simple equipment will suffice." "The operation itself isn't difficult." "Removing kidneys isn't the problem." "Transplanting them properly is." "How soon must it be done?" "Within 48 hours." "Stored in ice, they can be flown anywhere in the world in a day." "Hearts and livers are different." "They must be used within hours." "But kidneys..." "So it can be done in any back room?" "Right?" "Yes." "Unfortunately." "What a place." "Everywhere looks the same." "They could be anywhere." "How are we to find them?" "Luck is on our side." "Hi, Stocki." "I'm following the red van." "Nothing unusual." "Two men in the front." "They're making for the highway." "We're near Nussdorfer Schleuse." "Be careful, Richard." "Wait for us." "They're pros." "Richard?" "Stocki?" "Stocki?" "Richard?" "Hello?" "Damn this thing!" "If it does this again, it's yours." " How many?" " Three." "Shit." "Damn." "Empty." "What's up?" "Rex?" "What's up?" "Rex, run away." "Go on, run!" "Fritz, see to the dog." "Smart little cop, aren't you?" "The dog got away." "They're going to kill you." "Understand?" "They want to kill you." "Don't you understand?" "Kill!" "Shit!" "Go in the house." "Go on." "Move!" "You can get out now." "Well?" "Don't I get to meet the boss himself?" "Him or no one." "Never trust the servants." "The cop's a joker." "But you're not funny enough to make me laugh." "This way." "Careful, steps!" "Left foot, right foot." "See?" "You can do it." "Didn't you learn how at cop school?" "It's not flash, but you're not staying." "Depend on it." "Come on." "Quick!" "Get a move on." "Quick." "Get a move on." "In there." "Yes..." "it's all for you." "Yes?" "It was bad enough that they found the corpse." "Now you've brought a cop here as well." "What was I to do?" "Blow his brains out right there and attract hundreds of cops?" "At least we've got a huge head start." "You know what it means." "We have to shut up shop at once." "We'll finish today's business." "Then we'll leave." "Thanks to you I'll have to give up the house." "We can carry on elsewhere." " What about the cop?" " I'll think about it." " We've been unlucky." " You can say that again." "It all started when those oafs dumped the Russian stiff." "It's too late now." "Go down." "Klein has arrived." "I hope your hands won't shake so badly this time, Klein." "Anyway, you don't get your dope till after." "I won't stuff up." "Unlike you." "The police are patrolling the area now." "We're as good as gone." "Maybe the boss will take you with us." "Will you ever qualify as a doctor?" "Go to hell." "You could prescribe drugs for yourself." "Rex!" "Yes." "Give it a go, Rex." "Give it a go, Rex." "It might just work." "Pull." "Yes, good." "Go on." "Yes, it might work." "Good, Rex." "Pull!" "Pull." "Grab it." "Good." "Rex..." "what's the matter?" "Hey, Rex!" "Well done." "Try again." "Good boy." "Try again." "This is just a vaccination so you stay healthy." "Healthy?" "Otherwise you'll get sick and won't find work." "Nix work." "Get it?" "In you go." "Good." "Grab!" "Pull the bars." "Good." "You can do it." "Great, Rex." "Well done." "Pull." "Great, Rex." "Good, Rex!" "Rex, good boy." "Yes, that's the way." "There..." "That's all done." "Thank you." "Great!" "Now get the other one." "Great." "Pull it away." "Come!" "Careful." "Be very careful." "Jump." "Now jump." "Come on." "Jump." "Come on." "Come!" "Glad to see you too." "Good boy." "It's okay." "It's okay, Rex." "Clever boy, Rex." "I'm pleased to see you too." "Listen..." "Look what I've got." "Look." "Take the rope." "Take it!" "Take the rope." "Take it." "Take!" "Take the rope." "Yes." "Just like that." "Good." "Good boy." "Pull." "Pull." "Go on, pull." "Good." " Has he cleared up yet?" " Send the next one over soon." "Oleg!" "You're next to see the doctor." "You can do it." "You can do it, Rex." "Do you want me to win?" "Who's the champ?" "Yes, good." "We found his car." "In the woods about 500 metres from here." "Look." "Traces of blood." "And a bullet." "It looks as if it passed clean through." " From his gun?" " No, it's a different calibre." "Shit." "Stockinger here." "We have Moser's car." "There are signs of a gunfight." "He may have been shot." "Start a large-scale search." "You've nearly done it." "You've nearly got it." "You're the champ." "You're the greatest." "No tug-of-war now!" "Not now, Rex." "Not now." "Not now." "Come here." "Come here, Rex." "Good." "All right, Rex." "All right." "It's all right." "Let's get out of here." "My God." "What's the matter?" "You know I'm busy." "Can't you hurry up?" "My plane goes at 7." "Sorry." "I didn't know there would be so many." "Can you do two more?" "Two?" "Carry on." "But make it a bit snappy." "I'll try." "Steiner!" "Yes?" "Start packing everything." "We must be ready to leave." "What about the cop?" "Kill him." "Okay?" "Okay." "Rex..." "Be quiet." "Tough luck, cop." "Rex!" "You're not so lucky either." "We learnt that at cop school." "Come on, Rex." "Stay close to me." "Get in the ambulance." "There's no time." " And Steiner?" " Forget him." "Come on, Rex." "Stay there, Rex." "Rex, come!" "Everything's okay." "Police." "Have they all gone?" "No one's here." "All gone." "Okay." "Stay there." "Stay there." "A green and white ambulance with Viennese plates." "Wait a minute." "I'll just see where I am." "Careful, Stocki." "They're armed." "Get off the road, children." "Quick!" "This is the police." "Switch the motor off and put your hands up." "Rex?" "It's Rex." "He'll know where Moser is." "Rex, do you know where Moser is?" "Come on." "Let's follow him." "Put him down." "Rex..." "Rex." "Stockinger!" " How are you?" " I'm okay." "I blacked out, didn't I?" "Rather." "Rex stopped a patrol and led them here." "So we found you." "Rex, I told you to stay with me." "We stopped the ambulance." "Their boss is called Wallisch and is wanted by Interpol for similar crimes." "Good work." "Where are the others?" "There." "You were lucky." "The bullet passed through without doing much damage." "But you'll need a few weeks' bed rest." "Bed rest?" "Yes, bed rest." "Did you hear, Rex?" "Bed rest." "Well, we can still play ball and we'll take your rope and your biscuits."
