"CRIME SCENE" "I thought wed have Japanese food and now I'm standing around like adumbass" "Papa." "Shush." "Whats the matter with him?" "Did he fall asleep?" "I'm hungry!" "Faith, Love, Death" "Günther, would you please take a few pictures for the report?" "Yep." "Hello?" "... please come in" "Oh dear." "Eisner?" "Who?" "Karl?" "Karl Bindmayer?" "Hi there!" "What?" "And where?" "Greetings." "There couldn't have been a lovelier occasion for our reunion, right Bindy?" "Moritz, hi!" "It's pretty worrying that we need someone dead to cultivate our friendship." "Still better than not seeing each other at all." "Hello Mr. Kovatcs." "Good day, Mr. Eisner." "We at traffic patrol have more deaths than you, but you definitely have to more interesting ones." "I was really shocked when I found that kiddo." "And I can stomach a lot." "You can't imagine what centrifugal forces can cause." "Did you talk to the driver?" "Yup" "But he didn't see anything." "Just the meadows." "We have a hole arsenal of sheet metal parts, splinters, traces of paint and rubber, though." "In case, the hit-and-run driver put around in a car that looks a bit like a pug." "Is today a holiday?" "Why?" "Look at the construction site..." "completely empty." "Kovatcs!" "Find out who's the builder and the construction outfit." "I'm at it right now" "Good day, gentlemen!" "Was the door open when you came in?" " Yes." "Heya!" "So young..." "...yes and so dead already." "Such a shame." "Isn't that always the case?" "Death doesn't necessarily make someone likeable." "Colleague Bindmeyer from traffic patrol and ambulance, he found the dead woman." "Dr Braun, our pathologist." "G'day." "Well, at a first glance, I can rule out a natural cause of death." "It's not so long ago that this young lady departed from us" "The bruise has a weird shape." "Could stem from a scarf or a cloth." "Noon does strangulation with his bare hands nowadays." "Let's have a look." "No puncture." "Clean." "Good girl." "Mr. Eisner?" "The dead person is Anna Kaber." "23 years old, student." "We checked the data." "Is there a missing person report?" "Nothing." " What else do we know about her?" "Completely unremarkable." "What now?" "Okay, Christian." "Take a picture of the pendant, please." "That symbol looks familiar to me." "Kovatcs?" "Has a camera appeared somewhere?" "So far not." "Do we have fingerprints?" "More than plenty." "Any other peculiarities?" "Just traces of cleaning activities." "Cleaning?" "This place was cleaned on a regular basis." "Do you think that kiddo was locked in?" "Well, this doesn't look voluntary to me." "What do all prisons have in common?" "One room for the captive, one room for the minder." "Sleepy Knut." "Brand-new." "I know it." "I have it at home,too." "Just in beige." "When do I get further details?" "The less details the body gives away the longer it takes." "It's the same for us with the cars." "Gentlemen... you can take her." "Whats a girl do out here?" "What do we know of the family?" "Do they have money?" "Is there something to get?" "The father is director in publishing house and the mother is an elementary teacher." "Doesn't exactly seem wealthy." "You're thinking of blackmail?" "Everything's possible." "The only certain is that strangulation usually hints at a crime of passion." "And often the better you know her the more gruesome it gets." "Have the parents been informed?" "Not yet." "Only child?" " Yes" "Well, shit." "Will you take care of it?" " Yeah..." "I'll drive to the garage and have a closer look at the car from the accident." "I'd gladly swap with you," "Can you give me a ride?" " Get in." "Why do you hesitate, Katrin?" "Don't." "Never lose control!" "Out of the question!" "That only makes us vulnerable." "Sorry." "It's..." "I don't know." "The last course." "It was all different." "I have the feeling it should go better, as if I could do better." "But somehow..." " Lesson 1." "We don't look for guilt at others but first of all with ourselves." "Excuses are destructive and impede an honest and open analysis of your own weaknesses that are to be eradicated first in order to draw new strength from it." "Are you afraid of failure, Katrin?" "Not at all!" " Look at me!" "You need not be afraid." "Your progress curve rises steeply." "Ralf!" "What is this?" "We must quit for today, Katrin." "I'm sorry, I must leave." "We'll add fifteen minutes next time, okay?" "We're complete now." "I'll get to the point:" "We have a problem." "A very unpleasant matter." "Hans." "Anna has turned up." "But she won't come back." "What?" " Why?" "Anna is dead." "She was murdered." "We wanted you to know before the rest of the team got wind of it." "You lived together with Anna." "If anyone needs to talk, I'm there for you." "Ralf, please prepare a press release." "We must be prepared should anything blow over to us." "Factual, compassionate, respectful." "Completely distanced in this matter, though." "We've got nothing to do with this matter, that must be absolutely clear, right?" "Is there a murder suspect?" "No clue." "And that's none of our business." "We're not the police." "The loss of a member is always tragic." "But that's the way it is." "And now it's a matter of damage containment." "I got to be back at the office." "Sophie, I need an appointment with the headquarters in Amsterdam, quick." "Now?" " Of course now!" "Sadness is not a productive feeling." "Clear thinking and swift action are called for now, do you understand that?" "Yes." " Good." "And noon speaks to the press." "The parents are outside." "Is there a surprise in the report?" "I rarely see something surprising." "The obvious most of the time is the truth as well." "In our case it means eventually the larynx was pushed in." "The classical end of a strangulation." "She's not been dead for long till the colleague found her. 2, maybe 3 hours." "Otherwise nothing remarkable." "The blood analysis is normal." "No traces of drugs." "No signs of sexual violence." "No scars." "No tattoos." "A sparkling clean lady." "Death occurred unexpectedly and quickly." "Unexpectedly alright, but quick is different." "What has she been strangulated with?" "They found remnants of a fine threaded cloth in the laboratory." "Do you need lots of force to strangulate someone?" "Its more a question of determination than force." "Just a moment!" "It's alright" "And you haven't heard from your daughter in weeks?" "Anna hardly got in touch with us anymore." "The house where we found your daughter..." "Well the evidence suggests she has been held captive in that house." "Was your daughter abducted?" "What?" " Mr Kaber, were you blackmailed?" "Of course not." "Do you have any idea why your daughter was located in that house?" "Does she have enemies?" "Yes." "Us" " What?" "Sieglinde!" "Sieglinde, what are you doing?" "Please stop it." "Good evening." "Get lost!" "Kaber, we wanted to express our condolences." "That you even dare to come here!" "It's all your fault!" "Murderer scum!" " Please Mr Kaber." "They have my daughter on their conscience." "Anna was a wonderful person." "Open." "Interested, dedicated." "And she was naive." "Infinitely naive." "They manipulated Anna." "Brought her completely under their control." "Now I know from where I know them." "They've got an office around the corner from me." "Yes,they,re everywhere." "Your husband said Anna regarded you as enemies." "That's true." "We're so-caIIed "antagonistically minded elements"." "Because we did everything so Anna wouldn't be hoodwinked by Epitarsis." "But it was futile." "She has broken off all contact to us at command of the cult." "The two young ladies at the door didn't look all that dangerous?" "Harmless to the outside." "Hard as bone to the inside." "Do you believe Epitarsis is involved in the murder of Anna?" "Your husband seems to be certain about it." "Heinrich has picked a quarrel with Epitarsis time and again." "But it was completely futile." "The only thing brought about was that Anna moved out." "And where did she move?" "Into a flat share." "Of course from Epitarsis." "As parents you're fighting a losing battle." "It was the beginning of the end." "There's no reason why I should believe you at all." "You,re just like all the others," " I'm not." "Yes, you're spreading lies about Epitarsis." "I don't care about the organization." "It's about you," "About me?" " Yes." "About you." "And Epitarsis?" " That is not the issue." "You don't want to convert me?" " No." "You can believe what you want." "Moritz Eisner,47." "Detective chief superintendent." "Run directly by the ministry of the interior." "Is deemed to be diligent and thorough." "Completely fixated on his job." "No hobbies." "Salary:3650€ gross income." "Closer" "Marital status: single." "Children: one daughter," "Claudia, born 1989, Mature with distinction, student." "Changing her field of studies for the third time." "1 semester history, 1 semester journalism, currently psychology." "Eisner only met his daughter 3 years ago." "They're living together." "But she posted on the internet, that she considers moving out." "Yesterday you were at the Kaber's house, too,weren't you?" "Yes." "Did you know Anna well?" " Yes" "She was a very good friend." "We lived together." "And who else is living there?" " Another two friends." "Lisa and Ralf." "And they dedicated here as well?" " Yes." "Very much even." "Katharina Leupold, good day." "Usually rather the tax office, the social security office or our friends from the church are after us." "A detective is new." "Do you record this?" " Yes." "Certainly." "We're very diligent." "One factor of many, that accounts for our success." "Thank you Sophie." "I would still like to talk to you." " I'd be glad to!" "We're the fastest growing commune of faith in all of Europe." "Anyone who joins us is successful." "Here are no failures or losers." "Epitarsis is the church of the future." "Spiritually, economically, scientifically." "You can take this and read about it, if you'd like to." "Thanks." "I'm here because of a murder, not a membership." "Nice view that you have up here." "Down there, about this direction, we found one of your members." "Anna Kaber." "Yes." "Terrible affair." "Awful." "Her father informed us about the terrible incident." "Mr Kaber informed you?" "Well, he berated us, insulated us and informed us in the process." "But Mr Kaber is of firm conviction, that your organization..." "Community, Mr Eisner." "We're a community of faith." "Then a community of faith for all I care that your community of faith is complicit in Anna's death." "That doesn't surprise me." "Mr Kaber hates us from the bottom of his heart." "He's been berating and insulting us from the day Anna found her way to us." "May I?" " Yes, please, have a seat." "When was the last time you saw Anna?" "That's a couple of weeks ago already." "Isn't it unusual if someone doesn't get in touch for such a long time?" "Yes, we were worried." "Is there a reason?" "You must know one thing, Mr Eisner." "The menace never sleeps." "A community like ours must always be wary." "But you were not harmed." "Anna was." "Alright." "Let's get to work." "I need a list of all members of Epitarsis." "We need to examine all persons in the close environment of the dead woman." "I am sorry,Mr Eisner." "The records of our members are strictly confidential." "I cannot give them to you." "Ms Leupold." "You really don't want to obstruct my investigation, do you?" "No." "Not at all." "That's why we thought of something." "Come with me." "There you are, Mr Eisner." "Get started!" "The ladies and gentlemen are available to you for questions and talking." "Anna was so proficient." "Her statistics were very good." "I looked up to her." "And so much proficiency is no reason for envy?" "Mr Eisner,were fighting for a common goal here, you won't find envy here." "The only ones bursting with envy are our enemies who realise how unbelievably successful the techniques and methods of Epitarsis are." "Thank you." "Shall I send for the next one?" " Yes, please." "Yesterday I was in course twelve." "Starting from 9 a.m. until after 5 p.m." "A fine experience." "Unbelievably intensive and inspiration." "And where were you yesterday?" "Yesterday?" "I was in course twelve." "Together with my colleagues Waldstern, Hofer and Kornstall." "Yeah... all of.them in course twelve." "Course twelve is important!" "The last level before phase one." "Thank you." "You lived together with Anna." "Didn't you notice anything odd?" "That she changed." "That she behaved strangely." "She wasn't home the last ten days." "Other than that, she was like always." "And you weren't wondering where she could be?" "Yes, I was." "But Anna is gone for a couple of days from time to time." "She missed the second module of course twelve." "I see." "I found that odd." "I would have, too." "You must surely want to know where I was yesterday mid-morning." "Course twelve." " That's right!" "How do you know?" "Divine inspiration." "Get me the next one." ""Detach from your past."" "Rubbish." "I was at a meeting in Amsterdam from Wednesday to Thursday." "Then, I should have gone to London but the meeting was canceled so I went straight back to Vienna." "It's going to rain again." "I am assigned to the CFO and am supervising" "Epitarsis East European investment portfolio." "And you were not at course twelve?" "No, why?" "I'm on a different level, Mr Eisner." "I did course twelve years ago." "You were Anna's excellent guard." "Yes." "What does an excellent guard do?" "He improves the performance of the people assigned to him." "Just like me with Anna." "And you did not notice anything strange?" " No." "Not really." "Of course, she was very depressed because her parents wanted no more contact with her." "They banished her." "That was hard." "On the other hand, such destructive relationships with antagonistically minded individuals are an impediment..." "That's enough." "I don't have to put up with this." "And all of them tell me the same story!" "Do you think I have all the time in the world." "I don't know what you want from me, we're cooperating fully!" "I can do without this form of cooperation." "Because it gives me the feeling of being fucked over." "I'm looking for the truth." "I don't need any cheap propaganda." "Then we're on the same side, we only care about the truth as well!" "Marvelous." "Then let's start with the fingerprinting." "I'll send you a team from forensics" "Mr Eisner, we have thousands of members." "Well good for you." "And if need be" "I'll get a DNA sample from each and every one of them." "I won't allow it." " I won't ask you!" "We've got nothing to do with the death of Anna Kaber." "You're like every one else." "You want to destroy us!" "Nonsense!" " Yes, of course." "But we're not going to be led like lambs to the slaughter." "We will defend ourselves tooth and nail." "That I guarantee to you." "You can do as you please." "I only want Anna's murderer." "What's so important?" "The new district attorney is introducing himself." "What other than a murder?" "The Epitarsis affair." "How..." "I didn't even write a report yet." "Someone was quicker than you." "This is from Katharina Leupold, Epitarsis leader." "She's terribly upset about your rude approach." "You reportedly behaved like a high inquisitor." "Was that really necessary, Moritz?" "That's baloney, you don't believe that, do you?" "That's not the issue." "They immediately cry out we're impeding them from practicing their basic rights to freedom of religion and beliefs." "They can worship anyone they want for all I care." "What do you want from me anyways?" "A search warrant." " I'm supposed to investigate after all." "No, my dear fellow." "A vague conjecture is definitely not enough in this case." "Epitarsis is known for playing the role of the victim for the most insignificant reason." "They can afford the best lawyers." "They'll tear down anything that is not cast iron proof." "Moritz." "That's a very thin ice." "Should we be afraid now?" "No fear." "But we should be vigilant." "Excuse me gentlemen." "Shall we continue where we left off?" "Alright." "I'm supposed to talk." "Everything that comes to mind." "Then I'll speak about that which has troubled me more than the courses altogether." "Something that creeps in and will not go away." "No matter how much you fight it." "I did countless cleansing sessions." "More than most." "But it remained with me." "On the contrary, it became more and more." "And most of all I was shit-scared the others would notice." "Doubt." "Once you start doubting, it's over." "Once you start doubting, it's over." "Don't get mad at me, but I don't recognize anything." "This is a tiny bit from the car body." "And the 2 specks of color are the result of the impact." "They merged due to the force." "Pigeon blue with traces of old silver paint." "We don't know any more details about the paint?" "Would you like to know the serial number on the can?" "Well, sure." "However that maybe, we analyzed the paint coating and determined its age" "Yes and?" "It's got a few years under its belt." "At least forty." "The car of the hit-and-run driver must be a classic car." "Mr Eisner, this just came inform you." "That means we have a blue classic car." "And how many of these exist?" "Well, not as many as there are drunk drivers at any rate." "Not a usual car, ergo not a usual owner." "That's what the common man thinks." "If you hear "classic car" everyone thinks about a super classy sports car vintage '62." "But in reality it's often just potty older cars." "Maybe a young person." "Without money." "Student or something like that." "Or a car enthusiast." "For many such a car is a kind of hobby." "If you ask me I'd bet.on male above thirty." "Middle class or higher." "With money." "A sense for aesthetics." "Family." "Freaking awesome hi-fi equipment." "Very self confident." "An aficionado." "Just who are you actually talking about?" "What is it?" "Just forget it It was only an idea." "Look at that!" "The builder of the settlement where you found the dead woman went bankrupt." "Get out of here!" " What is it?" "The house belongs to Heinrich Kaber." "The father of the murder victim." "The door's open." "Good day Ms. Kaber." "I'd need to talk to your husband." "A birthday cake, how nice." "Congratulations." "It's not for me." "For Anna." "I am sorry." "I can imagine how hard it is." "I've got a daughter myself." "I lost Anna three years ago." "But I came to terms with it." "Somehow." "But this, now." "How can you tolerate this?" "Would you like a slice?" "Thank you." "I need your husband." "My husband is with his friends." "Which friends?" "The only ones left to him." "[Task Force Cults and Sects]" "Here for the first time?" " Yes." "Daughter or son?" " Sorry?" "Daughter or son?" "Daughter." "I got a daughter." "Me too." "See?" "She had just turned eighteen." "I didn't see her in twenty years." "She lives in South America." "In some kind of a temple." "They call themselves "Children of the Light"." "She gave birth to a soon eight years ago." "I believe he doesn't even know he's got a Nana." "Well yeah, would you excuse me?" "Dammit." "What a shit." "Mr Eisner?" "Maria Levin." "Good day." "You are looking for Mr Kaber?" "Yes." "Come." "Here you are." "I would like to talk to Mr Kaber alone." "No." "I want Ms Levin to be present." "Today I received the list of proprietors of the houses in the settlement where we found Anna" "You own the house where Anna has been murdered." "That's no small thing you didn't tell me." "Did you bring your daughter to the house on your own?" "Why didn't you tell me?" "Because he was not alone." "Here." "This will certainly be of interest to you." "According to Freud, the human soul is like an iceberg." "Not much is visible, most of it is concealed." "That is the unconscious." "Next week we'll deal with the dream and its interpretation." "Thank you." "Thanks." "Does Epitarsis play a big role in your task force?" "Yes, increasingly." "They're booming." "Why?" "Each generation has its cult." "The Indian gurus were the heroes of the Hippies." "The eighties were full of new age prophets... and today Epitarsis embodies something like the globalized search for meaning through efficiency and success." "All that counts for them is the here and now." "They want as much influence as possible." "And their goal is:" "The world must be ours." "The more people join, the better." "Better for what?" "Better for the shift to the next dimension." "And that would be?" " A life without space and time." "Immortality." "And how come you,re so well-informed?" "Because I was a member myself once." "That's why." "I don't know what to think." "It can't be that I was fucked over so badly the last two years." "I'll wait outside." "Please." "I can't look at this." "Mr Kaber, please sit down." "Sit down please." "I can look at this later." "I would have never done anything to my daughter." "That I believe you." "This adventure of yours still is coercion and unlawful detention according to the criminal code." "I know." "But I saw no other way." "How did you talk Anna into coming to this half finished house?" "I offered her a deal." "I bought the house for Anna, as a kind of investment." "I offered to sell it again and to cash out all of the proceeds to her." "There was only one condition." " To quit Epitarsis?" "No." "She would've never done that." "I told her she must talk to Levin." "Really talk." "And did she accept it?" "Contact to "antagonistically minded elements" is forbidden." "But the prospect of a heap of money still convinced her." "Courses over courses." "Module for module." "Hundreds of them." "And expensive." "Very expensive." "With the money she could have done the courses three times over." "You brought Anna to the house." "Yes." "The room didn't exactly look like it's been equipped for a voluntary stay." "It was only meant to be in the case, if worst comes to worst." "If she had broken off the conversation and wanted to go away." "And did she try?" "No." "She let herself in for it." "I should have never brought her there." "Never." "Biggest mistake of my life." "Horrible." "But cheap." "That archery you told me about I once did something similar, not with a bow but with 2 sticks." "At first you think it won't work at all let alone keeping your balance and with your force." "It was like that for me,too." "But once you really let yourself in for it..." "Your limits only exist in your head after all." "Exactly." "And they are the ones to over come." "Are you perchance looking for a flat?" "If there's be a cheap opportunity, why not?" "Hallo" "Claudia, this is Ralf, my flatmate." "Ms Levin please." " Yes." "Anna was almost out." "It's not your fault." "So Kaber phoned and informed you that he brought Anna to the house." "Thank you." "What did he want from you?" "He asked me to run my program." "Re-Identity." " What does it mean?" "I moved with her and we talked." "That's all?" "Only talking." "My model is based on self-reflection and self-awareness." "And that works?" "Not always." "Would Anna have quit at the end of the program?" "Yes, possibly." "It is a long process." "These talks are always only a start." "And she would have been free to leave at any time?" "Yes." "Did Anna entertain doubts about the system Epitarsis?" "Increasingly." "At first you can notice by their language." "Stereotypical expressions are used less." "And stereotypically automated answers dissolve." "That curtain of fog around your thinking is lifted and suddenly new points of view are possible." "That's the worst thing that can happen to Epitarsis." "Freely thinking members are dangerous." "And you believe Epitarsis kills foe that reason?" "That wasn't the plan for sure." " Some kind of accident at work?" "I don't know." "How long were you with Anna?" "Right from the beginning." "You must accompany something like this." "And you documented all of this?" " Yes." "We must have recorded over thirty hours of talking." "When was the last time you saw Anna?" "The day before her death." "She was in good spirits." " You were responsible for Anna." "You were with her at all times." "But not in the night from Wednesday to Thursday." "Why?" "She wanted to be alone." " And you just leave then?" "It is part of the program that in the end the individual can decide whether she wants to rejoin the group or to choose a different path." "What's the matter with you, Lisa?" "Are you not feeling well?" "You're not always in top form." " But that would be nice." "I'm not a machine." " It's all a question of discipline." "The thing with the detective's daughter." "Isn't this going a bit too far?" " Do you have the impression?" "She's quite nice, isn't she?" " But "nice" is not a category." "Antagonistically minded elements..." " Now don't exaggerate whether indirect or indirect, you must always be wary." "Always." "Well sure." "You,re doubting our methods." "No, not basically..." "I don't know." "I just feel uncomfortable with it." "Hi, Karl." "Finding your life is finding your fortune" "That's nice, too." "For us, fortune is a bird." "For the Chinese it's a cookie." "I find that much more like able." "The analysis of the rubber traces has ruled out the very old classic cars." "Everything before the sixties." "They had a completely different set of tires." "There's still lots of cars left over." "Exactly." "That's why it's so important that we found out the paint has been produced in Germany" "What will be your beverage?" "Get me a small beer." "No... better a tea please." "These paint mixtures are very special." "You don't get them just anywhere." "We'll start with the car repair shops." "But few specializes in the repair of these old buckets." "They have a precise over view over which kind of paints their babies tolerate." "You don't eat?" " No, I've got a headache." "Hey sweetie." "No, all is good." "About an hour." "No, I haven't bought anything but I can get you something from the Chinese." "Yes, okay, thanks, bye." "Thanks a lot." "And I'd like to have fried noodles with vegetables to take-away, please" "Karl?" "Karl?" " Yeah?" "Do you believe in anything?" "I mean... do you go to church?" "Yes." "But only at weddings and funerals." "So you're an atheist?" "No, I do believe." "I just don't know in what exactly." "What about you?" "I only believe in evidence." "You really are a believer of facts." "That's more an occupational disease, not a religious orientation." "And you don't do anything for your soul?" " Well. yes I do." "My little one has taken me to a Zen meditation." "Is this something with yoga?" "No." "Archery with monk." "For enlightenment?" "Or relaxation?" "For stretching she said." "But it's not for me." "Karl, I have,a request." "You'd have to do me a favour." "I need a mentally unstable person" "An... average guy." "Single." "Lonely." "Sometimes a bit desperate." "Some money put aside." "And who is exactly at the point in his life, that you would commonly call a break in the biography." "You understand?" "Thanks, that you were thinking about me." "I'll be shooting arrows again tomorrow." "Brilliant, but it's not for me." "A bit of mental development would do you good !" "I'm investigating in a murder case." "That's enough mental animation." "Dad?" "What would you say, if I moved out?" "Why?" " Just hypothetically" "Don't you like it here anymore?" " Yes, I do." "Is it boring with me?" " No." "Is the room too small?" " No." "It's just that a room has become vacant in a shared flat." "And I could move in." "Prime location." "Nice people." "A shared flat?" "Well..." "If you think so?" "First, I would like to congratulate you." "What for?" "You're an extremely agreeable contemporary." "I genuinely am happy to meet someone like you." "Above average intelligence, dedicated socially" "And you're high principled." "I like that." "However, there are a few minor deficits." "The ego scan has revealed that..." " The what?" "We're scanning your character and are analyzing your personality profile." "Your concentration curve is declining a bit here." "You have trouble with consequently bringing things to an end." "You are prone to lethargy, right?" "And here." "This value indicates a weakness in your time management." "For the most part I'm always punctual and..." "Okay." "That's not a big issue." "It's easily handled and you can apply it productively as well." "Yes?" "How?" "Don't get impatient." "We're just at the beginning." "What is your profession?" "Let me guess." "You have a sense for family." "You're interested in people." "You're curious." "Even analytically." "You want to get to the bottom of things." "You could work in a laboratory." "Maybe a scientific profession." "Well, I..." " I thought so." "First and foremost in an area where it's about innovation, to discover new things, traveling on a bumpy road, to boldly walk forward, but to also suffer setbacks... only to eventually still gain a tremendous victory over pain, illness and death." "We have a program for this exactly." "It will increase your abilities many times over." "Are you with us?" "Do you want to have a look?" "Without obligation." "Free of charge." "You will be thrilled." "If you think it helps?" "Klaus, can you come with me please?" "Klaus, module three and four of course 13 are overdue." "I'm in a tight spot at the moment." "You were saying?" " I mean it's difficult financially." "You know of the divorce." "With the children, it's costly." "Excuses are the first step to where?" "To decline. - "Rules of Failure", course 1 module 4." "And there's definitely no place for failures here." "Here you are." "Our annual conference." "Great lecturers from all over the world are attending." "It's a unique chance." "Just stop by." "Thank you." "Antagonistically minded elements have one of the most able members of our young Epitarsis generation on their conscience." "Anna Kaber was murdered in cold blood by those powers, that want to see all of us destroyed." "But why?" "Why are we fought?" "Quite simple." "It's our success." "Our success instills fear." "Our success fuels envy." "Our success makes our enemies use any means to harm us." "They stop at nothing." "But we, we won't be led astray from our way to more greatness, strength and success." "Most of all, we will not allow one thing:" "To be dissuaded from our faith." "There are many, that want to see us destroyed." "Shattered." "Our ideals abjured." "But we will never allow this." "I tell you:" "We must be united, and we must be strong." "If we stand together, not a single antagonistically minded element has a chance." "We will be victorious." "Goodbye Dr Horvath, we'll meet again next week." "Goodbye Dr Berger." "What a surprise." "Moritz." "Are you stalking me?" "You keep saying "Trust is good, control is better"." "Right." "Then, who is checking on the staff of the district attorney?" "Not me." " But you should." "Could you please, stop speaking in riddles?" " Yes." "But not here." "Come with me." "Why should I care about which god or guru this..." "Hans Berger." "...this Hans Berger is believing in." "We're no religious authority." "And least of all am I a religion guard." "But this is not what it is about !" "We're investigating in a murder case." "And someone from the ranks of the suspects is settling in right in front of your eyes !" "And you find this absolutely normal?" " You're starting to get paranoid Moritz." "We have Christians, atheists, Muslims, esoterics." "One or two free masons." "We even have a stamp collector." "All of that is none of my business as long as they abide by the laws of the republic." "Hans Berger knows about each and every step in our investigation." "At least make sure he's not involved in this case any more !" "Alright." "I'll talk to the district attorney." "He shall assign him to another case" "I need proof for more." "But I want one thing primarily." "The culprit." "Something wrong?" " No, nothing." "Nice ring." "You will see it's the ideal preparation for our exam next week." "Good." "I can hardly wait." "Well done, congratulations." "Eisner's daughter was no problem." "Quite easy." "But I'm worried about Lisa." "I'm not sure whether she's the right one for the task." "Nothing must destruct you." "Nothing must bother you." "You must stick with yourself." "You must believe in yourself." "Yes?" "Bloody hell." "And who did?" "I see." "Okay, thanks." "We'll talk about this next week." "Herzl-ow !" " Bye." "Oh dear, what is it now?" "I'm in a hurry." "Kaber committed suicide." "Of all things." "That's gonna be great if the press gets wind of this." "What?" " Don't look like that." "Of course this is all tragic." "But police work is always PR work as well." "And this is definitely bad for us." "Anna Kaber wanted to quit." "Now she is dead." "Her father hanged himself because of feelings of guilt." "We can't stand idly by while a cult is on a retaliation campaign against its breakaways" "And destroying whole families in the process." "And not only in Austria." "We're not a PR agency." "We're the executive authority." "Fair enough, Moritz" "Tomorrow morning." "I'm really glad we got to meet." " I feel the same way." "Klaus,would you please accompany our guest on her way down?" "See you !" "Goodbye." "Have a nice evening." " Thanks." "Hello." " Hello Lisa." "You're really doing well with the detectives daughter." "Congratulations." "Thank you." "Such a covert recruitment is among the most difficult tasks." "We need talented employees like yourself more than before." "Should you have doubts..." " No, not at all." "Well then everything is fine." "Hans, we've got a problem." "We're in for trouble." "Just a moment please." "Stop." "You can't come in, this a private house." "And it is built on the foundations of the constitutional state." "What?" " That's right and it sounds good." "Good day, ladies." "Please excuse us." "You go over there." "Strength through knowledge are three modules, right?" "I'll call back." "Mr Eisner." "Is this legitimate?" "You're familiar with this, aren't you?" "Alas, yes." "Where is she..." "Ms Leupold?" "Ms Magistra Leipold is on a conference." "A series of lectures that is in high demand." "Thanks for the invitation." "You're welcome." "What are you doing here?" "This was on the desk of the police president." "When he learned that this is your daughter." "And that we're searching this house today." "That was enough already." "We can pack our things if this goes public." "Epitarsis turns this into the private retaliation campaign of an officer and we've had it." "It doesn't get more irreconcilable than this." "Whats the point of this?" "The search warrant is canceled" "Ernstl, please..." " Obviously someone cheered too soon." "Such a stupid affair." "You were that close." "And please greet Claudia from us." "Our doors are open to her anytime." "You keep your hands off my daughter." "If you get too close to my daughter then..." " What then?" "Calm down!" "They tricked me." "Don't you see it?" "Why is it always the fault of others?" "What's the matter?" "Are you crazy?" "Let go!" "I always thought you were Libra." "If the matter at hand is to reach your goals then most of the time only one thing is in the way." "You yourself." "That is why working on and with yourself is the first crucial step to success." "We're used to finding excuses." "But there are no excuses if it is about becoming more efficient, faster and better." "Don't be afraid of your own passion." "Don't be afraid of your power." "Because it is all in you." "Walk your way and don't go astray." "Epitarsis is more than just a method." "Epitarsis is knowledge." "Use it." "Another followup." "I thought of the following." "I need a break." "Most of all I must be able to think clearly again." "I need some distance for that." "Maria?" "How did you find me?" "There." "Where are these from?" "That is why I had to cancel a house search today." "Do you know what kind of club this is?" "Of course." "They call themselves Epitarsis." "What do you have to do with them?" "I'm sorry, but why is that your business?" "What are your dealing with them?" "A fellow student from uni... that one- just showed me her head office." "We're in the same semester together and have prepared for an exam." "And she lives with him." "That's the shared flat I told about where a room became vacant." "You want to go there?" "Did they tell you why the room became vacant?" "Did they tell you?" "Because one of their flatmates was murdered." "Best conditions for moving in!" "I am investigating against this Epitarsis because of this murder." "And they are torpedoing my work where they can." "They are instrumentalising you to harm me." "They won't stop at anything." "Oh God." "What a load of crap." "I'm sorry." "I just don't want anything to happen to you." "Lisa is really totally nice." "I would've never thought that of her." "What about moving out?" "Yes or no?" "No." "We've got it nice with each other." "And it's cheap." "Besides, I don't want to leave you alone." " I'm not alone!" "With the personal development tool you will succeed in using  allofyourresourcesoptimally." "Discovery our abilities." "Be passionate, successful and outgrow yourself." "Epitarsis offers to you..." "Hi Moritz." " Hi Karl." "What's up?" "Trouble?" "You can say that again." "Epitarsis keeps throwing spanners into the works." "Oh my." " The house search was canceled." "Well that sucks." "Where are we going?" " 14th district." "Tell me Bindy." "Do you understand young people?" "Only when they are accident victims." "Why?" "Well Claudia as of late..." "Forget it." "You don't have children any ways." "It doesn't matter." "Tell me, Moritz." "Do you actually have friends?" "Sure." "A few." "Few." "Apparently your index of social isolation is pretty high." "It's the same for me." "According to polls over 43% of the population suffers under loneliness." "Epitarsis says..." " Stop with this baloney." "You're supposed to keep your ears open." "Not let yourself be converted." "Here it is." "And who's the owner?" " I don't know." "I'm only responsible for repairing the cars." "Our boss does the registration." " And where's the boss?" "Lunch hour." "I don't believe this." " What?" "Look." " Who is this?" "Maria Levin, a psychologist." "Supports the relatives of cult members." "Very smart, very nice and obviously very disingenuous." "I'll go get her." "Wanna come?" "No, I just remembered I still gotta be somewhere else today." "I'll contact you." "What's the matter?" "Do I need to worry?" "No, why?" "Everything's fine, I couldn't be better." "Goodbye." " Good bye." "Goodbye." " Good bye." "Ms Levin?" "Hallo!" "Ms Levin?" "Do we already know when it happened?" "Over thirteen hours ago and less than eighteen." "Almost the time frame she last phoned." "Do I hear doubts about my reports?" "But no." "Doubting you?" "Never." "Kovatcs?" " Please." "That's the last number she called." "Please find out who is the owner." "We,re obviously dealing with an especially dedicated choking angel." "The lady seems to have known the murder as well." "No broken off finger nails, no signs of a fight." "Gentlemen?" "Hermann?" "We're looking for a video cassette of this size." "Turn this place upside down." "Maybe we're lucky and the murderer didn't find it." "I've got the address now." "Traubergasse 5, 8th floor." "The Epitarsis flat share." "You're coming with me." "Who's going to inform Ms Levin's daughter?" "We'll do it later." " Alright." "Mr Eisner, Another visiting tour?" "Moment, do you have permission?" "Where were you yesterday between7 p.m. and 12 p.m.?" "What is this?" "That was a simple question that I hopefully get an answer to, soon." "Yesterday I was at the annual conference out at Castle Schorau." "Good for you." "And where are your two flatmates Sophie and Lisa?" "Not here." "And you probably cannot tell me where they are, can you?" "No clue." "You can believe me, Sophie's not here." "Please give me that photo." "Another way to get rid of your mother." "We need finger prints from her room." "Best would be from all over the flat." "When was the last time Sophie turned up?" "I still saw her yesterday morning." "Did she tell you about her mother?" "But her mother died at birth." "Wrong." "She died yesterday." "Murdered." "What?" " Yup." "And you'll come with us until we've checked your alibi." "Let's go." "Unimagined forces are slumbering inside us." "But of what use are they, if we cannot utilize them?" "Recreate yourselves." "Sorry." "I'm sorry." "Epitarsis has the tools to unleash you mental abilities." "Hello?" "Moritz?" " Bindy!" "Just a minute." "What?" " I'm sorry." "We'll make a short break." "Moritz?" " Where on earth are you?" "I'm in advanced training." "No..." "I'm investigating." "What?" "I'm at some lecture." "Where?" " Outside of Vienna." "At Castle Schorau." "Karl, come on!" "What?" "I was supposed to keep my ears open." "That's all I'm doing." "That was the second part of such a module." "I just wanted to listen to it." "Free of any obligation." "Just for me." "Did you see Leupold?" " No." "Yes." " And Sophie?" "She's with her." " Okay then make sure they don't make a run for it." "Alright." "You look tired, Sophie." "So, what's on your heart?" "I saved the community from a grave misfortune." "I commend you on that." "And what's on that cassette?" "They didn't depart yet, they're probably in the rear tract with the confessional rooms." "The rapid test has shown, that the finger prints from the two crime scenes coincide with those of the Epitarsis flat share" " Yes and?" "Levin had a daughter, that obviously broke with her." "You met her, in your first session." "Sophie Binder?" " Yes." "Nice community of faith." "Could I please see your invitation?" " He belongs to me." "Now I'm really worried about you." "Don't worry, Sophie." "Well sort this out." "I only cared for the community." "Really." "There's a great program in the USA, that is starting right now." "An education." "For our best only." "Would you be interested?" "Yes." "Very much even." "Yes?" "Good." "Then I'll take care of it." "Eisner had Ralf arrested." " What?" "Why?" "Suspicion of murder." "Maybe that's not so bad after all." "We need time." "Sophie must go." "I need the next possible flight to the states." "Nice that I meet you." "I looked everywhere to find you." "The district attorney is here as well, great." "We just talked about something we'd like to show you." "How can you do that to me?" "Why are you betraying us?" "The community is above all." "The antagonistically minded element is to be tracked down and to be fought." "With all means available." "This is what is written in the statutes." "That's right, Katharina, isn't it?" "No Sophie." "You misunderstood something fundamentally." "Your statutes are of no consequence." "Really important is what is written in the law." "And for this reason I will have to arrest you." "Due to the murder of Anna Kaber." "And of your mother, Maria Levin." "She hasn't been my mother for a long time." "I erased that woman from my memory." "This person full of hate and envy only cared about the destruction of Epitarsis." "Did she show you the video?" "My mother told me this tape exists." "She announced she'd send it to the police" "She wanted me to turn myself in." "She would have loved that." "To force me to quit and have me put in prison." "That's how she would have liked to see me." "Anna wanted to quit." "My best friend, my intimate." "Impossible!" "Better no life than this one." "Who gives you the right to decide about that?" "The statutes?" "Anna and me swore to do everything not to sway from the true path." "I kept my promise." "Appalling." "Mr Eisner, Epitarsis has no knowledge of this crime" "We're clearly distancing ourselves from these events." "The responsibility lies with Sophie Binder alone, who is not a member..." " What?" "...I stress: who no longer is a member of our community." "Katharina!" "Ms Leupold." "Just a moment please." "You won't get away this easily." "You should rather thank me." "No," "Moritz!" "Moritz!" "What is it?" " She locked herself in." "Get out of the way." "Crap." "Come on girl!" "Stay with us!" "For the best mum of the world!" "You should have let me die." "No, I can't do that." "I'm an officer, not a savior." "There." "Thank you." "Fortune cookie?" "I say yes to the cookie, you can keep the rest." "What's written on it?" " I won't tell ya." "Got another one?" " Yup."
