Red Rage

based on the novel of the same name by
Hans Ulrich Horster

Hey, who's there?

CRIMINAL PSYCHIATRIC ASYLUM

Professor, he jumped over the wall,
using this to cut the wire

That's the other side of labour therapy

Mr. Professor! Mr. Professor! It was Stief.
- What? Stief?

Scan the area,
and call the police if necessary

And turn the lights off,
so the others won't get unruly

It had to be Stief..

Do you believe he is still dangerous?

Dangerous... That's one of those
cases you can never close

Healed? Maybe...

Maybe everything would be fine,
had we released him sooner.

But who would dare,
to take such a decision?

Who would take the responsibility?

Director's office, Prof. Lindner

Yes...

The dogs have lost the trail.

He must have crossed the creek.

Then we must resort to the police.

Suspend the search, and inform the police.

Thank you...

Now we'll get a lot of public attention.

He has no idea of what he did.

He forgot everything.

And we have made every
effort so he would forget.

Yes, he has been so calm all these years.

Here, with us. But outside,

if he ever crosses the path of an
inviting woman...

ATTENTION!
NATIONAL BORDER!

Changing the guard.

They're so punctual,

you could adjust your watch,
based on their schedule.

My stomach is already
knotted from hunger.

It is quite punctual as well.

There she comes.

It took a little longer today, huh?

I haven't eaten since the last time,
I was starving.

Yes, you look rather thin already.

Wouldn't you really marry me, Katrin?

Look for another one,
she is under my personal protection.

Be careful, the soup...

Franz!
- Theres!

You...
- Theres! The spoons!

If you can wait till
the apples are dried up,

I can drive you back.

Thanks, but I'm still on patrol.

The last days have
been pretty turbulent.

Enjoy your meal.
- Thanks.

There they are.

We'll be done here today.

I can send the workers
over to you by tomorrow.

We must take care, that the crops
are collected soon enough.

They can barely wait till
the wedding. But in my opinion,

it's too chilly for love.

Don't you have a hot blood?
- That's what you think.

Who's out there?
There's someone in the reeds.

Come over!
- Stay still!

Don't go that way! Come back!

Martin..

Martin!

He looked like Martin.
- You're seeing ghosts.

Stop! Don't go further!

Hang on to the boat!

Help him up.

Here, a blanket.

Crazy of you to
come over under daylight.

When he came out of the reeds,

I really thought it was Martin.

That he was finally coming back.

You're destroying yourself,
with this endless story.

It's such a long time, since he
vanished at the border.

Had he survived, he'd be back already.

Believe me, years have passed.
- Theres!

Do we still have any soup?

Bring it over here.

Take it...

Do you come from the other side?

Can you understand me?
Do you speak German?

You can take him to town
with you, to the police.

Sure, you understand us.

Don't be afraid of us, we don't bite.

They'll just write a report and then
you can go to the refugee camp.

Don't be nervous.

Here everything is different
from the other side.

He could stay with us,
if he wants.

If he wants, there's
enough work to be done.

Of course he wants...
Take a look at him.

What's your name, by the way?

You must have a name, or?

Is your name really Martin?

Will you fix my bike or what?
- Not now, in the evening.

But I want to ride it now.

Mama, nobody wants to fix my bike.

No one has the time.

Come, stay there.

This is Hanni, and this is Martin.

Martin?

Martin, my father?

He has the same name.

Come, can you fix my bike?
- I don't know.

Sure you can. Everybody can,
but nobody has the time.

Karl says he kills the time when
he plays with me.

Can you hold it a little?
- Now, quick.

Do it.
See? You can do it.

Yes... yes I can.

It will fall off again soon, you know.

The problem is the cog wheel,
a pair of teeth are broken.

It will happen again and again.
You must find a new cog wheel.

Are you a mechanic?

Grandpa, let him be.
First, he should fix my bike.

Come, keep on.
- It is done.

Thanks, Martin.

Mechanic?
Yes, I have an idea of how to do it.

My daughter said you wanted
to stay here... temporarily.

Work?, There�s plenty
here, to be done

If your papers are in order...
- But I have no papers.

Not so bad.
Many refugees come with no papers.

But, you must go to the police.
For the registration.

Police?

Hey, something is wrong with you.

Your father has said...
- Yes, you can stay here.

This is Franz' room.
He used to sleep here,

but he's getting married next week.

Theres, you know, the nice young girl,

she was also at the lake
this afternoon.

You must have seen her.

I have found some stuff for you.

You surely can't walk
around in those rags.

You should also shave.
Use Franz' blade.

He has nothing against it.

And take this, too.
For cigarettes or a bottle of beer.

Take it.

Why are you doing this?

Rest a little, and then
come down for the dinner.

You can start tomorrow.
We have a lot of work here.

You are afraid, aren't you?
You're still afraid.

There's no reason to be afraid
here among us, Martin.

You've already arrived.
How did you manage to get here?

With the tractor

I told him to sleep in Franz' room.
You know, the newcomer.

He'll come in handy for you,
I assume.

My father also said that,
now, with the harvest...

And does he really
remind you of Martin?

I don't know.

My first impression was
that they looked alike.

But that's what I think of everyone
coming from the other side.

That it could be him.

But you know that he won't return.

You know it.
You just don't want to face it.

You wait and wait.
For how long will you wait?

I am his wife.
What else can I do but wait?

He could be declared... dead.
Then you'd be free.

Yes, I know.
That's what my father said, too.

He asked a lawyer,
who said it's possible.

But I can't do it.
Don't you understand?

I can't do it!

I can't let them declare him dead,
while he could be still alive

and could still return someday.
I can't do it, I just can't do it.

Hands up!

Has Hanni scared you?

She's like a boy.
Up there is her castle.

Suddenly you look so different.

Not like a tramp anymore.
Just fine.

The sleeves are still too long.
We'll fix it.

We'll surely find a second shirt for you.

Look around.
Karl will call if he needs your help.

I must go.

Martin, Martin, come up here.

Up the stairs, come.

Have you shot at me?
- Sure, were you afraid?

I just wanted to check
if you were afraid.

My mother told grandpa that you
are always afraid of everything.

They must have broken
you down, she said.

Up here nobody can find you,
not even Karl.

You don't like Karl, do you?
- Him? No!

Isn't he nice to you?
- Yes, he is.

He brought me the
shotgun in the summer,

from the town fair.

But he never brought me a flashlight...

Stand up!
You're sitting on my newspapers.

I needed a flashlight more than anything.

Cause I'd never use a candle up here,
the reed burns too easily.

Have you ever seen a reed bonfire?
That's beautiful.

In the spring,
they burn the old reeds.

Karl acts as if he was
my father. He's not.

My father disappeared at
the border, from where you came.

And when he finally returns,

Karl won't have
anything else to say.

Give it back to me,
that's my newspaper.

Give it back.
- Let it go!

Mommy said I could have it
once everybody read it

And that I could cut out the pictures,
and collect them. Give it back.

You're crying.

Do you believe they have a newspaper?
- A newspaper?

I must find a newspaper,
by all means.

Do you believe you're
some kind of celebrity?

Will it be in the paper that you
escaped from the other side?

There must be a paper
somewhere around here?

Now come, somebody
will surely have a local rag.

Come in.

Rum and Coca-Cola.
- Thanks

Today?
- No, I can't.

Tomorrow?
- I don't know yet.

The gentleman
has something better.

In that case...

Good evening, Anna. How are you?
- Fine.

A round, please.

Slivovitz, twice?
- Yes..

Hey, you?

Which schnapps will you have?

Franz is paying the round.

Cserznye, Slivovitz or Barack?

It doesn't matter.
Whatever you prefer.

Slivovitz.

Your Slivovitz.

Don't you like it here?
- Yes.

And I try so hard
to make it nice,

especially for new customers.

I'm paying.

Ah.. the one from the other side.
Good evening.

Good evening.

You were very lucky.

Mr. Vollbricht, he who gave
you shelter, is a fine guy.

By staying there, maybe
you find some perspective

for the future.
He needs workers.

Excuse me, please. I must...

Yes, as you wish.

Good evening.
- Good evening, inspector.

That one from the other side,

what kind of person is he?

A weird one.

I think someone caused
fear to take over his mind.

Is that so?

Then send him tomorrow
to the precinct.

I must write a report.
Rules are rules.

Anna.
- I Know

You must also report the newcomer
to the local health insurance.

If he's really staying.

Why wouldn't he stay?
Don't you like him?

He seems indeed, very able.

You have to sign this.

If you mean the similarity,
I can't see that.

Similarity?

You want to believe that just
because his name is Martin.

And what's his surname?

Surname? I haven't asked him yet.

I must get some stamps again.

You haven't asked him yet.

For you,
the name Martin, is enough.

Listen to me, Katrin.
I wouldn't like that...

Nonsense.
- No nonsense at all!

You're like... I know you.

Either nothing at all,
like with Karl...

He's been chasing you
for 5 years now.

Or everything.
It was like that with Martin.

He's a poor devil, I've felt
sorry for him. Nothing else.

Have you seen the
fear in his face?

Every word he hears,
every stranger he faces...

I always have the feeling
that he wants to run away...

that he wants to hide.

I cannot but always remember
what they've done to him.

Stop this waiting.
You're not so young anymore.

And think of Hanni.

She's growing like a wild horse.
Granddaddy is not enough.

If you mean Karl...
- I do mean Karl.

He stays here just for you.
You know it.

In the city, he would earn
twice or three times more.

It can't be that hard to
hire a qualified worker,

that you must marry him,
in order to keep him from leaving.

INSANE INMATE ESCAPED ASYLUM

Quick! If Karl spots us,
we'll be in trouble.

He doesn't like it when we
get out to meet the girls.

What do you mean by trouble? I'm OK,
I'll get married next week,

but without booze, there's no fun.

Come on.

Come, lie down on your bed.

Don't lock me in.
Please, don't lock me in.

You're fine here.
Nobody will harm you.

Let me go...
Please, please let me go.

Do it, you moron!
Lie down, get some sleep.

Just let me go...

Please, please let me go.

Be quiet. You're lucky after all,
not knowing anything...

since your poor
little brain forgot it all.

No, you�re mistaken.

You're certainly looking
for another man.

You're mistaken.

I haven't done anything.

I haven't done anything..

I should know it,

I should know,
if I ever did anything.

Nothing, that's what you know,
nothing at all.

Lucky you, not
to remember anything.

Open the door,
please, open the door.

Please, please, let me out.

You can't lock me in,
I haven't done anything.

I haven't done anything.
You have no right to do it.

You have no right to do it..

For god's sake, what's happened?

The door, the door was locked.

They probably didn't know
I was here inside.

But I can't stand it.

I can't stand it,
if a door is locked.

No, no lights, please.
Please turn off the lights.

It hurts so much.

They keep locking the doors.

I've told them a hundred times,
not to do it.

A fire could erupt...

Have you a cigarette for me?

So seldom I smoke,
that I never have any.

There are some over there.
- Thank you.

Are you still afraid?

You're gonna see,
everything will be alright.

Once you feel more comfortable here,
you'll want to stay.

Yes, yes, I'd like to stay here.

I'd really like to stay here.

With you. The others,
they don't trust me.

Karl, Franz and the policeman,
they don't want me here.

No, they don't want me here,
they want me to leave.

Don't say anything, please.

I know that, I feel that.

Anyone can feel that.
Nobody wants me around.

Only you. You're so kind to me.

Why are you so kind to me?

Now it should work again.

You can handle
the engines quite well.

You're getting handier by the day.

There it goes.

Thank you.

Karl! You've ripped my notebook!
You've destroyed it!

He spoiled it, I had
been so careful with it.

Hanni, what's going on?

He ripped it, I was collecting
the pictures, he spoiled it!

He always destroys my stuff!
- Hanni!

You're crazy. Let's go, Franz.

Hey, Martin! Come here, come.

Take the tractor to the lake.

Out there is a wagon
packed with reeds.

You can drive it, can't you?
- Yes, probably, yes.

Come on, buddy, you must
know if you can drive or not.

Move now. Get on.

See, sure you can do it.

Drive by the gas station, the tank is empty.
Fill it up, on our bill.

Wanna buy the paper?
- Yes...

Ah, there you are.

I was already thinking you
might have got lost in our town.

Now come over to the precinct.

No, I must take the tractor...
- Come on, let's go.

I must fill the tank.
- It won't take long.

Just a couple of questions.

Do you understand?
It's my duty.

Any adventurer could tell he
comes from the other side.

After you.

Now...
First, your name.

Pictures of wanted people
have just arrived.

Yes, Ok. I'll take a look later.

Now, your name?
- MANHUNT -

Your name!

Martin.
- Martin, and? What else?

Waldner.
Martin Waldner.

Martin Waldner..

But I have no papers. I was fleeing.

It was all so quick, I had no
time to get the papers.

Who'd think about them?
But I can prove it,

I have relatives in town...
- Yes, yes. Just calm down.

Date of birth?
- Inspector!

Yes!
- A serious car accident at the 38th km.

12th Precinct,
District Inspector Klobner.

Yes..

Yes, I see, I'll report it to
the Emergency Central.

Any casualties?
Thank god! I'll come by.

No, I have only one officer here.

Yes, I'll come immediately.

Yes...
Get me my coat.

It's only 20km away,
I can get there quickly.

Car accident...

That's what happens
when they run like crazy.

I must get immediately to the spot.

We'll have to interrupt it, Mr...

What was your name again?
- Waldner.

Waldner. Mr. Waldner, come over
after work this evening, will you?

Sure.

Goodbye.

The addresses of your
relatives in town,

I want them on paper, right?

Good morning.
- Good morning.

Walking around so early?

Schnapps, like yesterday?
- No, no, coffee, please.

Coffee...

What? What did you say?

I just asked, why did you
disappear so suddenly last night?

But you don't understand.

I've noticed already last night,
from your accent.

I am from the other side myself.

Don't be afraid. I don't care
what you tell the others.

A very good trick to seek
shelter with old Vollbricht.

If one's name is Martin...

I don't know what you want.
I don't understand you.

It's because of Katrin, huh?

It's always because of Katrin.

I really don't know
what all of you see in her.

She's nothing but
a weepy well of sorrows.

Always pouring tears
down her blouse.

Drink your coffee.
It will get cold..

Karl, she has bewitched
that one, too.

And that idiot believes he'll inherit
Vollbricht's estate someday.

I see...
- But you...

You don't look as if you'd
would get yourself trapped

under a boring widow's spell.

If I were a man,

I'd know better where
to find what I want.

No, you are mistaken.
You are quite mistaken.

I am a stranger here,
just arrived yesterday.

I don't know anybody around here.

No, really?
A complete stranger...

And where did you get
this love letter?

It belongs to me!

A love letter...
From Katrin, huh?

What has she written?
- Give it back!

This is no love letter,
no love letter.

What has she written?

That she loves you?

My dear Martin, my beloved...

Come after me.
Don't you like me?

I have burnt...
Your lovely Katrin...

The tank of your tractor is already full

Other people also want to fill up.

You...

Next to you, no one is safe.
- Only you, of course.

"The giant had a huge garden.

Every afternoon, as they
were coming from school,

the children used to go and
play in the Giant's garden.

It was a large lovely garden,
with soft green grass.

Here and there over the grass
stood beautiful flowers like stars.

One day the Giant came back.

When he arrived, he saw the
children playing in the garden.

'What are you doing here?'
he cried in a very gruff voice,

And the children ran away.

'My garden is my garden,
said the Giant..

Anyone can understand that,

And I will allow nobody
to play in it, but myself.

So he built a high wall all round it,

and put up a notice-board.

TRESPASSING IS
STRICTLY FORBIDDEN

He was a very selfish Giant.

Then the Spring came.

And all over the country there were
little blossoms and little birds.

Only in the garden of the
Selfish Giant, it was still Winter.

The birds did not care to sing in it,
as there were no children.

And the trees forgot to blossom.

So it was always Winter there,

and the North Wind, and the Hail,
and the Frost, and the Snow

danced about through the trees.

One morning the Giant
was lying awake in bed

when he heard some lovely music.

It sounded so sweet to his ears

that he thought it must be
the King's musicians passing by.

But it was really only a little linnet
singing outside his window.

but it was so long since
he had heard a bird sing

that it seemed to him to be the
most beautiful music in the world.

'I believe the Spring
has come at last,

said the Giant

And he jumped out of bed
and looked out.

And what did he see?

He saw a most wonderful sight.

Through a little hole in the wall,
the children had crept in,

and they were sitting in
the branches of the trees.

In every tree that he could see,
there was a little child.

And the trees were so glad to
have the children back again,

that they had covered
themselves with blossoms,

and were waving their arms gently
above the children's heads.

The birds were flying about
and twittering with delight,

and the flowers were looking up
through the green grass and laughing.

It was a lovely scene.

Another Schnapps, double.
- For me, too?

Come on, you drink a lot anyway.

I only drink out of grief and jealousy

because of your dear lady.

Stop that, she's not my lady.

She'll never be.

Your golden bird,
with her fat heritage,

has found a nest elsewhere.

What do you mean?

Martin, for example...

What's Martin? He'll never return.

It's not that Martin I mean.

What? This old loony
from the reeds?

From the reeds...

That's what he tells you,
but I know better.

He's no more refugee than you.

He's found a nice spot in that
warm nest of yours, if you ask me.

And your golden bird,

she knows it way better.

But you must give me
another chance to win.

No, dad, not today. I still have
a lot to do in the kitchen.

What? What is that you
must do in the kitchen?

Theres!
- She has the day off.

How come she has the day off?

Come on, don't be so harsh.
I gave her the day off.

Then... I'll be glad when
this wedding is finally over.

With these two loonies,
nothing can be done.

The first wedding on the
estate after 8 years.

There you go again.

I promise, I'll do my best
not to think about it anymore.

You are right.
You all are right.

Nobody should waste
a whole life waiting.

Watch out, here comes Karl.

I told you we should
have gone inside.

People might see us.
- Let them see us, it doesn't matter.

Our marriage is one week away.

Indeed, I think we were spotted
yesterday in front of the cabin.

Karl rushed to me today poking:
"Isn't it great?

That's what happens when
you don't sleep at night.

Your Franz could have waited. "

Do you know what my answer was ?

Had he waited,
it would mean he doesn't love me.

And in that case,
I wouldn't want him.

He should be more
concerned about Katrin.

If she'd ever say yes,

then they'd be spotted
all over the place.

Klobner called this evening.
The policeman.

Yes, it is because of the papers.

I was at the precinct this morning.
Because of the papers.

Yes, but you should have
gone back there this evening.

Yes, he wants to know
the names of my relatives.

I have relatives in the city.

I'll tell him their names,
everything on paper.

My relatives crossed from
the other side much earlier.

They have my papers.

Why are you lying to me?
I know it's not true.

I've listened carefully to you,
the way you speak.

Nobody speaks like that
on the other side.

You are no refugee.

You've been hiding here.
You're afraid.

What are you afraid of, Martin?

I... I don't know.

I don't know.

Who are you? Tell me.

You can tell me everything.

Who are you?
- I don't know.

Who are you?

You must tell me.
Don't you understand?

I must know who you are.

I can't help if I don't
know anything about you.

Who are you?

I don't know.

Ah, it's you. What's going on?
Working overtime?

Should I show you this?
- What then?

Don't you know what's this?
- No.

This is the jacket
that Martin was wearing.

Martin? Ah, that one.

Take a closer look.
Can you read it?

It was bought here, on this side.
- So what?

He either bought it here, or stole it.

Leave it, why would he steal it?

It was him who told us he
crossed from the other side.

A poor refugee.

A doll, a doll, a wonderful doll.

A doll with big, funny eyes,
that close, when she goes to sleep.

A doll, a doll.
- Stop talking about this doll.

You know what your grandpa said.
If you behave,

you might get one at Christmas.

Only Santa Claus urges kids to behave.
That's what Martin said.

But he'll be the one who brings it to me.

How could he?

Martin has no influence on Santa Claus.

Martin has no need of Santa Claus.

He'll buy it all in the city.

And a flashlight, too

Now tell me everything.

What's this story about the doll?
And what about Martin?

You can't understand it?

Martin told me he'll bring me the doll,
when he returns from the city.

It's all so simple.

Martin? When he returns?

Mommy. Mommy.

What's happened to Martin?

You're breathless.
What could've happened to him?

He's gone. Don't you know it?

Of course. He's in the city,
after his papers.

I thought he'd have told you.

But he has no money.
- I gave him some.

A week's salary in advance.
Was it a mistake?

No, it's fair.

Hey, Katrin.

Did anything happen,
between you and this Martin?

What could've have happened?
Nothing happened. Nothing.

He's gone looking for his papers,
you said it yourself.

Yes.

Klobner has also been asking for them.

Exactly, Klobner wants to see them.

Martin will come and go,
again and again.

That's why I gave him money,
so he'll disappear forever.

And give us some peace.
Especially you.

TOYS

May I help you?

Yes?

I'd like to buy a doll.
- A doll?

May I show you this one?
It'd be 248.

Maybe this? For 96.
- No.

Perhaps a smaller one, for 44?
- No, no, I'd rather...

Or maybe... Take a look.
- No..

I'd rather have that one in
the shop window. The big one.

But that one is very expensive.

So what?
Do you think I have no money?

I'll pay for the doll!
I want that big doll!

Yes, yes, please, with pleasure.

It costs 335.

I'll pack it for you.

You forgot the doll!

And your money.

I'll pack it for you.

But I want to mail the doll.
- Sure.

BUS STOP

WANTED!
FOUR-TIME MURDERER OF WOMEN
JOSEF STIEF

Can't you watch your step?

Stop! Catch him! Police!
The murderer! The murderer!

Stop! Stop!
Catch him!

He was carrying a package. A grey one.
- No, it was white.

He held me by the neck.
Catch him!

Where's he gone?
He must have run down the street.

But he disappeared.
Let the police take care of him.

His hands were around my neck.

Yes, police? An emergency call
This is Patrolman M�ller.

Chief Inspector Dr. Berger speaking.

Couldn't it be a mistake?

People usually say all sorts of things,
when the reward is so big.

OK.

Attention, to all units.
Large-scale manhunt.

He has been spotted
in the 14th district

the mentally ill, four time
murderer of women, Josef Stief

28 years old, 5'7 tall,
slender build

was last seen,
carrying a white package.

I'd like to buy a flashlight.
- We're closing.

Just a flashlight, please.
- Didn't you hear me? We're closed.

I'll pay whatever you want.
- Wait here.

No, no, wait outside.

That'll be 24.
Don't you have a smaller bill?

Wait! This is way too much.

FOUR TIME MURDERER OF WOMEN
JOSEF STIEF

WANTED!

What's the matter with you?

Are you feeling ill?

Right over there is a pub,
I'll bring you some water.

Come on, you�ll be alright,
come on..

I should have guessed.
Drunk till next Sunday.

I have his clinical
history in front of me.

Lindner.

Who?
- Yes, he's here.

Police Central Command.
- Chief Inspector Dr. Berger.

Yes... Ok.

Keep the large-scale manhunt,
mobilize all sectors.

Sweep all pubs, parks, squares,
the whole routine.

He can't have vanished in to thin air.

A further alert..

The fugitive is extremely dangerous,
and probably carries a pistol.

In case of resistance, shoot to kill.

That's good. I'll call later.

If you command your people to shoot,

the poor guy will soon
be riddled with bullets.

Just in case you forgotten it,
Professor,

he's the murderer of four women.

A policeman would never
be wearing a girl's coral necklace.

Please take a seat.

He loved her...

Some frivolous person,

who laughed at him, sent him away.

She turned him on,
till he couldn't stand it any more,

and strangled her with both hands.

He never received the love
he demanded or needed.

She was the first one
with a coral necklace.

The coral necklace was always
the trigger.

Psychiatrists have observed
such cases quite often.

Any meaningless pretext,

an insignificant issue
awakes the memory and...

knocks it out, up here.

For our Josef Stief,
it was the coral necklace.

As soon as he saw it,
he had to kill,

willingly or not.

He was simply helpless...

A victim of his mental illness.

If it were like that for all who were
abandoned by their first love,

then we'd have
thousands of mass murderers.

I know Stief better than
anybody around him.

I examined him
when he was arrested,

as an expert witness.

Then I have treated him,

during the 6 years he spent here.

He was an efficient worker,
a mechanic...

He never had any conflicts
with anybody...

As long as he felt accepted.

Are you a psychiatrist or
a defence lawyer, Professor?

An innocent poor fellow,

who won't harm anyone.

And the guilty ones are his victims.

Why do they wear a coral necklace?
- Don't talk nonsense.

Of course, there was
a mental precondition.

I see...

He kills four women,
and schizofrenia is to blame.

Dozens of jurymen would open
their hearts full of compassion...

You asked for my opinion
as an expert,

on how to approach him,
in case he's found...

Whether he's dangerous.

I must confess I don't know.

His brain is empty. No memories,
no images from the past...

We made him forget everything,
even his own name.

He only knows his number... 327

Can you see how
terrifying it must be

for a man, not to know who he is,
the reason for his arrest?

Knowing nothing,
absolutely nothing.

But that was the only thing we could
do for him, make him forget...

Trying to avoid his collapse,

under a weight he simply can't bear.

And you set a manhunt to catch him.

A shooting game,
as if hunting an animal.

For me, he's ill. I am a doctor and
my duty is to heal him...

just like others with a sick kidney
or a gallbladder illness.

There's no big difference.

What once happened
was only possible

because one of his organs
wasn't working, it was sick.

I can't hold him accountable for that.

Today, he's perhaps as good as cured.

Perhaps, for the rest of his life,

he'll be the orderly and decent
mechanic Josef Stief.

Perhaps...
- Perhaps, perhaps.

Perhaps, indeed.

We couldn't be sure and
that's why we didn't dare...

We had no guarantee
he wouldn't kill again...

Under this devilish,
red rage that assaults him.

We both agree, Professor,

Neither you nor we
have any guarantee.

That's why we won't
take any risks.

and we'll keep the chase,
till we catch him.

And if any of my men shoots him down,
in self-defence, of course...

It won't break my heart.

Against a murderer of four women,
Mr. Professor..

Any means is justified.

And that's precisely,
where you're wrong.

He doesn't kill out of
baseness, greed or brutality...

It's rather a lack of
control over his feelings.

If that which he loves
is to be taken away, he kills.

He'd rather destroy
what he desires, than lose it.

Precisely, Professor.
He murders.

Come on, they're almost
back from the church.

Yes, I'm coming.

Now you're married.

It's been a long time since the last
wedding has taken place here.

Vollbricht's estate has
become a pretty quiet place.

That's why I'm especially
happy for you two.

In you I can see
there's still reason to be alive.

From now on, we'll stop
thinking about the past.

That's it! That's right!

What's going on?

Mr. Vollbricht,
can I have a word with you?

Our armed forces arrived
pretty late for the wedding.

Come on, don't be shy.
Eat and drink with us.

There's still enough of everything.

I must search the estate.

What? Search the estate...
Has anything been lost?

Be calm and please sit down.

Otherwise I'll forget the
lines of my long speech.

Where had I stopped?

The past shall not haunt
the Vollbricht estate,

but only the joy and happiness
we are sharing with you.

MASS MURDERER STILL AT LARGE
- WHOLE CITY IN FEAR

AT THE HANDS OF ENRAGED MANIAC -
STIEF ESCAPES AGAIN

Come on, don't be such a joy killer,

spoiling the whole wedding party.

They're already quite confused.

I have my duties.
- Your duties... Don't play the strongman.

Do you really believe I'm hiding him?

You all must have known about it.

What must we have known about?

That he's a murderer, a lunatic?

Why didn't you known about it?

He was sitting in front of you!

We just gave him shelter cause
he crossed through the reeds,

from the border.

I must search the estate!
- Search it then! He's maybe under my bed.

Or in my bathroom, shaving.

Or in the kitchen,
baking some potatoes.

Perform your duties, won't you?

I had a feeling when he first arrived.

He had a strange gaze...

He was trying to run away.

As he emerged from the reeds,
he looked pretty blown away.

We gave him shelter.

We also have a barn.

Take a look, you can
sniff around over there.

Clear it all up.

If you want, we can
remove all the reed plates,

so you won't have to
waste your energies.

Stop it, I'm just performing my duties.
- You're surely doing it.

And you?
- Nobody enters my castle.

Of course not.
The little one...

I'm telling you, that's him.

You can't get fooled by such a face.

Around 6 AM?

At dawn, I saw him at the
roadside waving his hand.

Usually I don't give rides.

But that one... He looked as if
he couldn't walk any further.

Like a corpse.

You said you took him to
the outskirts of the city?

Yes, towards the lake.

We drive there and
back every morning.

It was only by the third trip that
I could lay my eyes upon the paper.

He was pretty lucky
that I didn't see it before.

I'd have given him a lesson,
that beast.

Thank you and be sure to
report to the next precinct.

OK..

Your duties are fulfilled.

Now sit down and have
some coffee and cake.

Also roast pork and mutton,
there's plenty.

Should he show up again...
- Yes, yes, yes, yes...

we'll tie him up,
and deliver him to the police.

I must write a report.
- Yes, do it.

Only an idiot would assume
he could ever return.

Now... First of all,
let's toast, gentlemen.

So... Cheers!

Here's to the bride and groom!
Cheers! Cheers!

Why wouldn't he show up again?

He had a great time on the estate.

He's been welcome
like the prodigal son.

There are not many places where a
mass murderer is so fondly received.

Don't you start with it now!
Come on, sit down and be quiet.

Such a nonsense.

Hanni?

Hanni?

What are you doing up there?
- Playing.

Playing, now?
- Yes, playing.

Come down here.
- No.

You'll come down now!
- No!

Then I'll go up there to get you.

No, you can't do it,
I've cast a spell on the stairs.

It's no time for nonsense, Hanni.

Stay down, mommy, stay down.

Hanni...

Now you'll get down.

No, you're gonna harm him.
I don't want you to harm him.

He's my friend.

He hasn't brought me the doll,

but that's no reason to harm him.

Hanni, now listen to me.

You must get down now,
do you understand?

I must talk to Martin.

And you must watch out
so the policemen won't come up.

Do you understand?

You really won't harm him?
- Go now.

The policemen are now inside,
at the wedding party.

You can go now.
- No, no, I won't leave.

I'll be killed if they see me.

I only want to help you,
save you from harm.

You must leave.
- To go where?

Back... back to that asylum.

But I'm not insane.

No, you're not insane, Martin.

I know you're not insane.

But you must start by getting back there.

No, no...
- At least you're safe there.

They'll set you free again.

One day they will,
they must set you free.

No, I won't go,
I won't go back to my cell.

They'll lock me in.
They'll break me down.

Only bars,
only bars all over the place.

I can't stand it,
I can't stand it anymore.

But where else will you go?
You must leave this place!

Please, Martin, believe me.

I'm not your enemy.
I'm not mean to you.

You know something terrible
will happen if you don't go back.

I'm not a murderer.
It's not true.

It can't be true.

I would know it. Me... I would know it.

I would know it,
if I were a murderer.

I'm just a person,
like everybody else.

I have lived like everybody else.

I have spoken, worked like..

everybody else. Worked hard.

They say I'm crazy...
They say I'm a murderer...

An animal, a raging beast.
But it's not true.

You must know it's not true.

See, the kid, she played with me,
I did nothing to her.

And you, you were...
I never did anything to you.

You came to me in the room
on that first evening, remember?

You were there, in the room,
and I haven't done anything to you.

Look at these hands.
They say these hands have killed.

Please look at them. Please.
Are these the hands of a murderer?

Tell me, if these are
the hands of a murderer.

I love you, Martin.
You must believe me.

You must do as I told you.

Help me, help me, please help me.

You must go back..
- No.

You must trust me.

You must believe that I'm telling
you all this because I love you.

No, I don't believe you.
You don't love me,

you don't love me, nobody loves me.

Nobody loves me,
nobody loves me...

You also want to get rid of me.

But you won't get rid of me.

You'll never get rid of me.

I won't let you go.

You know, I am a murderer.

Mamma! Mamma! He killed her!

Who?
- Martin!

Where is he?
- He's gone. He ran away.

Let's go after him!

Katrin! Katrin!

Katrin. Katrin. What...
What happened? What?

Come, tell me what happened.
Tell me, tell me.

Where's Martin?

Please don't scream.
They're looking for me.

They're hunting me.
I'll be killed like a mad dog.

Please don't scream,
I won't harm you.

I'll go back,
they'll have to take me in,

back to my cell.

Back behind bars,
behind locked doors.

I give up, I give up.

No, no, don't. Please don't scream.

Help me. They'll beat me dead.

I don't want to die like that.

Please help me!

Here's the 12th Precinct, Klobner.

Stief has been spotted here.
Yes! In the reed by the lake.

Send backup immediately,
we'll have to scan the area.

Thanks.

Karl! Here!
He went that way, to the dike.

Come, we'll go to the dike.
The rest that way.

Keep him from crossing the border.

Down to the lake!
He must be hidden somewhere.

Come on, Katrin,
let's drive back.

Why, must you watch it all?

So, Karl, how's it going?

I know it, he must be hiding
somewhere around here.

Over there!

You'll never catch him.
He'll swim across the border.

Sure we'll catch him.
We'll set the reed ablaze.

You're crazy! You can't burn
the reed. He'll be burnt alive.

He won't come out, that beast.

I beg you. Don't do this!

He's a human being.
You can't burn him alive! Karl!

Let me go!
- Karl! I beg you.

Shut up!

You can't do this!

Yes, we can. Believe me,

we'll smoke him out,
that cursed beast!

More sheaves! More sheaves!

Set the other side ablaze,
so he won't have any way out!

You beasts! You are the animals!

You are the insane ones!
Murderers! Murderers!

What do you want?
Who are you?

Number 327.
