I can't sleep.

Come here.

I'd like to live on the moon.

There's plenty of room. But how would we get there?

We could build a rocket.

We could. But where would we get the parts for the rocket?

-At Powder Paul's. -You wouldn't dare to go there.

Sure I would!

Kai was quiet.

Introverted.

He had no friends. Just me.

Was there violence in your family?

Our father was strict.

Please answer my questions precisely. Does that mean yes?

Yes.

In 1990, there was this accident. You were...

...playing with a handgun and...

...accidentally shot your father. Is that correct?

Where did you get that gun?

Found it. At Paul Möbius'. Powder Paul. Our neighbor.

That case was handled by chief inspector Justus Voit. Related?

Yes. My father.

I see. So Paul Möbius had firearms?

His property was a huge junkyard.

My friends and I went for a dare.

Everyone had to steal something. I got the gun.

Who were your friends back then?

Kai, Adrian Demko and...

Roland Voit.

I'd like to discuss the circumstances of your brother's death.

You were both aspiring detectives and working the case, right?

We were helping. Still in training.

From what I can see, you were the driving force.

Kai was my brother. I did everything I could to find out what happened.

I noticed that Kai's autopsy report is missing.

Have you ever seen the report?

I don't know...

I was there, at the autopsy...

After that, I had trouble dealing with it, quit my job, and moved away.

At the same time two other people disappeared here.

Rainer and Elfriede Seidel.

Rainer Seidel's remains were found on the pile of corpses.

Cause of death can no longer be determined.

Ms. Kring, is your father a member of a cult?

An unusual association, religious group, something like that?

I don't know.

It was found that the corpses and cadavers were drained of their blood.

Like it's done with slaughter cattle.

A certain fixation on blood could have played a role.

Do you have any thoughts on that?

Well, thank you. That would be all.

Goodbye.

-Thank you for staying longer. -Goodbye.

What do you know about the survivor? Did he regain consciousness?

Voit!

This Powder Paul...

We'll bring him in tomorrow.

Have to get him off his property.

Must happen quietly.

We think it will help, if he sees a familiar face.

Do you have any objections to this?

Take your Polish watchdog with you.

...accidentally shot your father. Is that correct?

No, dad! Please, dad!

I'll drive you to your aunt.

One survivor was found today among the murder victims in Krewlow.

According to the police, it is a middle-aged man.

His identity is still unknown.

The man was taken to a local hospital with severe injuries...

You stayed after all?

-What about the survivor? -I'm not allowed to tell you.

Then you also can't tell me what happened to Kai's autopsy report?

Lost. Like many things.

...have to wait for the surgery before more information is released...

Stay away from the press, okay?

Say hello to Edith for me.

You need to talk to your father.

The autopsy report did not just get lost.

Maggie. Please leave my father out of it.

Why do you need the report anyway?

There won't be anything new in it.

It's not about what it says. It's about the fact that it's gone.

There was always something strange between our fathers. You know that!

Ask him about the autopsy report.

To avoid destroying evidence, the bodies

must be carefully removed, one by one.

During this, the survivor was discovered.

This may be a breakthrough in the case,

but the man's identity remains unknown.

DNA analysis didn't yield any matches in the police database.

He is currently under guard at the hospital in Seelow.

-Everything all right? -Whether he is another victim or even

one of the perpetrators is impossible to say at this time...

Just don't watch that anymore.

Good to have you here.

This time, you take your boxes with you.

Yes, I promise.

You want some tea?

My colleagues want to talk to you tomorrow.

About '97.

They found the body of Rainer Seidel among the dead.

Anything you want to tell me?

Anything you want to ask me?

Lenora Kiinold, Identification Unit.

The beds are shared between shifts.

We're lucky not to sleep in the hallway.

Are you with the Feds or CSl or...?

I'm nothing.

Bye.

I am sorry about the chaos.

Your family's old car is in the shed.

You can have it as long as you want.

Thank you, Edith.

Have you been at Kai's grave?

I saw him.

I know it is not real, but... somehow it is.

It wasn't your fault.

And what happened over there neither.

On Wednesday, shortly after sunrise, two anglers on their way home

made a gruesome discovery near Krewlow in the Oderbruch.

When crossing a fallow field,

they found a pile of corpses and carcasses more than two meters high.

The same day, the special commission "Krewlow"

set up camp directly on site and investigations are up and running.

-What is that? -Vitamins. Iron.

-What the hell? -...goes back 50 years.

At least one of the victims was killed just a few days ago.

The investigation is conducted in cooperation with the Polish CID.

-Because we're close to the border-- -You know what this means, Danja.

That's just 20 km from here. We want to know what's going on.

Nothing that concerns you or your future here.

It's her first rule violation. You get expelled after four.

By the way, it's a rule violation not to take your vitamins.

I heard that it was a satanic cult.

Human sacrifice and stuff.

Satanists don't do that.

We are cut off from the outside world here, aren't we?

-I can't cope with this. -You'll get used to it.

What is that?

Meth labs.

Before the search parties arrive, they blow them up.

After reading this, I'm not sure we should go alone.

I know Paul. Don't worry.

Maybe you know the people here a little too well...

Justus? It's Maggie!

The 1997 Oderbruch flood was, apart from the flood of 1947,

the largest flood disaster of the 20th century.

Large parts of the Oderbruch were flooded and whole villages destroyed.

-Repair works on the levee were... -Hello!

...due to subsoil conditions and ammunition from World War |I.

-I have to ask you something! -Floods along the Oder River...

...severe damage in Poland and the Czech Republic.

-Over 100,000 were evacuated. -Justus?

What happened to Kai's autopsy report?

Paul?

Paul, it's Roland!

Paul? I am coming in now, okay?

Paul?

Haskel!

Wieczorek!

Stop!

-Where are you going? -We didn't do anything!

We were just cleaning up! He's got so many weapons and stuff...

Something just blew up. It was an accident!

Does Paul know you're cooking meth there?

No, no! We got nothing to do with that stuff!

-Where's Paul? -In his hutch... or collecting scrap.

Did you see anything from here? The night you found the bodies?

No. We weren't even here. We were night fishing.

Yes, we were night fishing.

Right.

I offered our association's help to the feds and the Identification Unit.

But it seems that they do not value

our 30 years of experience exhuming and analyzing mortal remains.

But that doesn't mean we can't do anything.

We all know who's responsible.

Someone who has no respect for the dead.

Someone who disturbs their peace and takes away their dignity.

Who'd be capable of cruelly piling up dozens of bodies over the years?

For too long we have ignored Paul Möbius.

Nobody knows what is going on in his sick mind.

Now they will find out.

Too late.

Paul? It's me, Roland.

I only want to talk... Just for a minute.

Paul?

I'm coming up!

Paul...

It's me, Roland.

Justus Voit's son.

Wasn't me. It was the Little Hunter. But you'll never catch him.

Won't get me either. You won't make me one of yours.

Nobody is going to get you.

-You know who I am? -Yeah.

You're one of them. I see you. Every time you come here.

You come at night. Yesterday you were here.

Think I don't see. It was the Little Hunter.

You won't find him. No one knows where he is.

They come at night. The man in the black hat and the Big Hunter.

But the Little Hunter is smart. Clever!

- I need backup immediately! -Who are they?

Those with the two faces! Who never sleep.

You're one of them, I know it! You're testing me.

-The Big Hunter sent you. -What do you mean?

They want me to serve them. But I won't do that.

Everyone looks away! And they see everything!

Yes, you don't look away, Paul. What do they look like?

-The Little and the Big Hunter? -You know I mustn't tell!

You will kill me. You're one of them.

Why do you think that?

Your father... does what they say.

You mean Arthur Kring. Your neighbor.

-You mean Arthur. -They'll kill me if I tell you!

-You're here to kill me! -No, I'm here to talk.

You mean Arthur Kring. Are you scared of him?

- I know nothing! -You say my father obeys them.

Don't know him. Don't know you! Don't know anyone!

-Do you mean Justus Voit? -Don't know!

-Leave me alone! -Drop the weapon! Hands up!

-I knew it! -Hands over your head!

-Put the gun down. - I found body parts outside.

You put that there! You're like your father!

You won't get me. Never!

Paul... When we were kids, we were on your farm to steal things...

It was a kind of dare. We were always afraid of you.

-Step aside. -Should we be afraid of you?

-Voit! Step aside. -No, no. Paul... Give me the gun.

Please, give me the gun.

Give me the gun.

All good. Paul.

Give it to me.

Stanislaw, I've got the gun!

I've got the gun, Stanislaw.

Thank you for coming.

-Thank you. -Don't lose heart.

Thank you.

It's been a while.

How are you?

I'm sure you keep copies of your autopsy reports.

Sure. I mean, for ten years.

What makes you think I'm looking for an older one?

No idea what you're looking for. I'm just saying how it is.

-What's this about? -My brother's file.

So it is about a file older than 10 years.

Please have a look anyway.

Maybe we're lucky.

Maggie, what do you want with it?

I mean, you saw Kai's body yourself. You were here.

As expected... I don't have a copy anymore. It's been too long.

You want to have a look yourself?

Still sure he drowned?

-That it was an accident? -You're starting with this again?

Your brother rests in peace. Leave it that way.

Rainer Seidel was found in the pile of corpses.

Sooner or later, they'll find his wife and eventually...

they'll take a closer look at Kai's grave.

What are you implying?

Just wanted to see how you react.

What do you want, damn it? Leave me alone!

You got the wrong one! You don't even know what it's about!

Let me be! What do you want from me?

They'll kill us all!

You have no idea what you're dealing with!

They'll get you! You're all dead!

Come with me.

Zajak, we're going to the hospital.

The survivor is conscious and is saying things in Polish.

You need to translate.

Get in.

You won't dare steal something anyway.

-Adrian! Leave Kai alone! -I'm not afraid of Powder Paul.

-I can do it. -Let's see what you've got then.

Guys, I've changed my mind. We shouldn't be here.

-This is stupid. -Adrian, don't piss your pants.

Okay. Let's go.

Are you sure?

If he wants to be one of us, then he has to.

You see that helmet over there? Get that.

Then you can come with us all summer.

Told you he wouldn't pull it off. Waste of time.

Adrian, stop it.

-Shit! -Adrian! Voit!

Kai!

No!

Don't be scared, Little Hunter.

I'm not one of them.

You know this feeling, don't you?

You either turn it around...

...or it'll always be pointed at you.

Search the entire area.

Kai!

Stop!

Kai?

Kai?

They're like me. Everyone hates leeches.

But they don't harm anyone.

They're good for the ecosystem.

But people don't know that.

-I'll be alone all summer. -You can come with us anyway.

Voit won't let me.

So, this is where you hide?

I won't tell anyone about it. I promise.

We couldn't identify him yet. Hardly responsive.

Might be our last chance to get something out of him.

-What about this? -We don't know yet.

And? What is he saying?

Can't understand it.

Thanks.

Can you write something, or draw it?

Pen.

You stay here. In case he talks.

Hi. I'm Maggie Kring. Does Adrian Demko still live here?

Who's that now?

Maggie?

Come here.

What are you doing here?

I don't even know what to say.

You don't have to say anything.

Hungry?

Meet my Polish nurse Marek.

Does everything that I can't with my messed up legs.

-Sure you don't want anything? -No, thanks.

-Nice place you've got here. -Oh, well...

After my dad's death I basically remodel led the whole place.

Didn't know he died. Sorry.

So... to what do I owe the pleasure?

Edith's place is crawling with police.

They're even taking turns using the beds.

I've got enough space. You can stay as long as you like.

I could use some company.

Thanks.

Don't look at me like that.

I'm fine. Really.

-We shouldn't have left you alone. -Stop it.

You're not responsible for me.

I'm happy you made it out of here.

No, thanks.

Remember that dare at Powder Paul's?

-Oh, yeah... -Kai was supposed to get that helmet.

- I shat my pants. -We all did.

Not you. You got Kai out of there.

Do you really think Paul would have hurt Kai?

No idea.

I was afraid of him, obviously.

Everyone stayed away from him.

Am I still scared of him today?

-Not until yesterday. - I saw them arrest Paul.

It's me, Roland.

Is this a reunion?

-Hi. -Hi, is Maggie here?

The three of us in one room? Unbelievable!

-Maggie? Can we talk? -No, no, no!

Don't take this from me. We need to celebrate. Sit down.

Adrian, I've got no time for this.

-We do this another time. Promise. -When? In 30 years?

I have to talk to you both anyway.

-Great! -Marek, please give us a second?

Thanks.

Maggie just told me that you guys arrested Paul?

Yes... he seems to be one of the perpetrators.

We were in his house. Totally crazy. It was exactly as we always imagined.

I shouldn't even be telling you this...

You can't talk to anyone about this, okay?

We found human remains on his property.

They match with some of the bodies on the pile.

Shit.

That answers your question, I guess.

-We could've been on that pile too. -Look at this.

The survivor drew this.

Have you seen this before?

-Maggie'?

-Didn't he say anything? -This was all we could get from him.

One more thing. Paul said some strange stuff.

Just incoherent gibberish. But one thing he kept repeating.

He said, "It was the Little Hunter" and "You'll never find him."

He repeatedly said "Big Hunter", "Little Hunter"...

-Does that make any sense to you? -No.

Never heard of it.

Maggie?

All good?

I went to see your father.

I also went to Seeger. He's lying.

-What are you doing? -This is about more than Paul.

Don't think this ends with him.

You can't trust anyone here. Not me. Not even yourself.

I really believed it was an accident when I shot my father.

I also believed I saw Kai's body. I wanted to see his body.

But everyone stopped me. You stopped me.

This case depends on old memories. And memories are...

They can be fed to you. When starving for answers, you eat what you get.

She hasn't changed much, huh?

Are these the mass murderers from the Oderbruch?

The survivor died a few minutes ago.

His identity remains unknown.

And we didn't get anything from him except this drawing.

The good news:

The matches between the remains found on Paul Möbius' property...

...and the bodies from the crime scene...

...leave little doubt that Möbius was involved in the killings...

...and/or piling up the corpses.

However, it's unlikely that he acted alone.

He is severely mentally ill.

We can't get anything out of him yet.

But that is only a matter of time.

We have experts talking to him.

Excuse me. You should come and have a look.

-Who? -I guess... Everyone.
