Original subtitles

Listen to me.

I'm a journalist and a father.

- Keep walking. - Probably not even a good one.

I hate violence.

I've never hurt anyone in my entire life.

Sit down.

I don't know your sister.

Lie to me one more time and I'll shoot. Sit down!

I need to see both hands.

Where did you live ten years ago?

Do you know Anna Wilking?

Where were you on July 5, 2015?

Where were you on July 5, 2015?

- I don't know. - How many times did you stab her?

- What? - Where were you on July 5, 2015?

- I'm not sure. - I know you did it!

Why do you think that?

Because I saw you. Because I looked you in the eye.

That's not possible!

Just like I'm looking you in the eye now!

We were both there.

Where?

Where were we both?

Think.

Lisa…

If I had anything to confess, I'd have confessed already.

Please…

Sit down!

Okay.

It was ten years ago, right? Ten years?

Where was your sister murdered?

You know exactly where.

In her apartment in Munich.

On July 5, 2015?

But…

I wasn't in Munich then.

Really. I can prove it. I was in Afghanistan.

I didn't get back from Afghanistan until July 6.

I remember because my ex-wife's birthday is on the 6th.

She completely flipped out because,

after I got back, I took my material straight to the office.

All her guests had already left. She was furious, no matter--

- You have no proof. - Yes, I do.

I filed reports every day from Afghanistan.

I was embedded with a military unit.

Everything should still be on the newspaper's server. With the dates.

Please.

Please. Just check it.

I'll give you the login info on my phone.

Check it.

- Take a look. - You look.

If you call or text anyone, I'll shoot.

Here.

Here's the original footage from that day.

And here's the broadcast report.

Here, look.

After an insider attack at the military academy in Kabul…

Please.

…the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force

became a training mission last year.

Following renewed unrest, there are now growing calls

to immediately terminate the mission.

JULY 5, 2015 ON THE ANNIVERSARY…

That's…

That's not possible.

That's not possible.

Put the gun down.

Please.

Put the gun away, Lisa.

Give me the gun, Lisa.

Please.

Please, Lisa. Give me the gun.

You almost killed me!

Do you realize that?

How's that…

But I saw…

It was him.

It was him.

I saw him.

It was him.

But he was in…

In…

It wasn't him.

No.

It wasn't him.

THE TRAP

THE CONFESSION

Did you call the police?

No, I…

I threw the gun into the pond.

Lisa?

If you don't mind, I'll call you Lisa.

Here.

Slowly.

Do you have someone you can call?

Maybe you could call your parents, so you're not alone.

Not my parents.

Please.

I…

We…

Why? The two of them seem nice.

Lisa, I have a confession to make.

I wasn't completely honest about how I prepared for this interview.

I found out that your name is Wilking.

Lisa Sophie Wilking.

And I knew about your sister.

What?

Not the way you're thinking, but…

While I was researching, I came across the murder case from back then.

I'm actually surprised no one's dug that up before.

Anyway,

I know about your sister's case.

But…

Why did you pretend

you didn't even know I had a sister?

Lisa, I'm an investigative journalist.

Of course I don't put all my cards on the table right away.

I wanted to hear what you'd say first.

Put yourself in my shoes.

The prime suspect in a murder case writes a book

describing the murder in detail.

A story like that would be a sensation.

Prime…

Prime suspect?

What makes you say that?

Anyone who finds a dead body

automatically becomes one of the prime suspects.

Who said…

Who did you…

I don't know whether I should…

I spoke to the detectives who worked on the case, among others.

You were the prime suspect.

You really didn't know that?

You're clearly innocent.

They never had any evidence against you.

And the fact you don't leave the house really isn't your fault.

What does that have to do with Anna's murder?

Well…

Back then, some people…

Some people saw your self-isolation as a sign of guilt.

I am ill!

Yes.

I'm ill!

Yes.

You are.

I think this is what's known as false memory.

So what you think are memories are actually pseudomemories.

Some people don't believe you're really ill.

They think you're a murderer who's isolated herself.

They think that I…

They think that I

killed Anna…

No.

No, I didn't.

I didn't.

No.

No.

The worst part is the doubt.

There's always a shred of doubt.

It's terrible when something like that destroys a family.

More often, a tragedy like this brings families together.

You mean that…

That my…

My parents think I'm…

I'm the murderer?

- What? No. - No…

- I would never-- - You do!

Mom!

I'm so sorry, Lisa. I shouldn't have told you. I…

I thought you already knew that.

Mom…

Lisa.

Lisa.

If you promise to leave me and my family alone…

If you can promise me that,

we'll forget everything that happened here.

Can you promise me that?

I can say that you weren't feeling well and we had to cut the interview short.

And that there won't be another one.

This is exactly how I want to be buried next to you.

By then, you'll be rotting and full of maggots!

- Ew! - Are you crazy?

- Ew! - Stop it!

Ew! Full of maggots.

- Full of maggots. - You're so mean!

Why? Because I'm imagining you rotting on the inside?

Stop it!

- No one loves you. - Stop it!

You in your hermit cave. In your fucking artsy ivory tower.

Hey!

- Love you. - Love you more.

Thank you.

- Here, Lisa. Look at me. - Lisa!

- Lisa! - Sorry.

- Lisa! - Over here, Lisa!

- Yup. - Over here, Lisa! Over here!

Beautiful. Lovely.

Over here, Lisa. Over here.

Yes, that's good.

Lisa, over here.

That's not how it was.

Or was it?

Yes.

That's exactly how it was.

MISSED CALL

…five, five, five.

Hello?

Mom.

It's me.

She thinks so too.

It's mean to rip the heads off flowers.

Anna wouldn't do that.

But Mom, I didn't do it. You saw what happened.

You got that wrong.

You and your stories, Lisa!

That doesn't sound like Anna at all.

There must be some misunderstanding.

That was mean.

You in your hermit cave. In your fucking artsy ivory tower.

Here! Eat your loneliness! Eat it!

Why are you always telling lies, Lisa?

I'm Lisa Sophie Wilking.

Ten years ago…

I…

killed my sister.

UNABLE TO CONNECT TO WI-FI

Chief Inspector Weber.

Leon…

Who is this?

Lisa Wilking.

You may not remember. You investigated my sister's murd--

Of course I remember, Ms. Wilking.

Has something happened?

I…

I have a question.

Yes?

Back then, I… I didn't know I was the prime suspect.

I just need to know…

Did you think I was the killer?

What…

And…

And my parents?

PRESS ASKED ABOUT SISTER 3 DAYS AGO.

Did they ever suspect me?

Ms. Wilking?

Okay, okay…

I'm coming.

Why are you doing this?

What's that about?

- What's what? - The song you were just whistling.

Shut the door.

Shut the door!

Oh, that.

I don't really know it.

But somehow I do.

- It's stuck in my head, and I can't-- - From where?

Well…

I heard it at your place yesterday.

And since then--

- You were here yesterday? - Yes, it was convenient.

I put some pruning wax on the freshly pruned trees.

And collected some worms before the storm. For fishing.

They all come crawling out from under the paving slabs,

like there's a giveaway.

How's the dog?

Better.

I asked around.

None of the neighbors put out a trap.

We haven't had any problems with martens or weasels.

You…

You really heard that music yesterday?

Through the dining room window.

It was only cracked open, and…

The music was pretty loud.

I'd better get back to it.

Before all the leaves blow away again.

Could you check the network connection outside, please?

The Wi-Fi is down.

At the router, as usual? Unplug it and plug it back in.

Oh, hang on.

I almost forgot. Right.

Is this yours?

I found it in the bushes out front.

9 MISSED CALLS

TUESDAY, JUNE 24

UNMUTE

One, two…

three.

These tax documents are all incomplete.

This wasn't included in the last tax audit.

Yes?

Finally.

Why haven't you called?

Because you're no longer my publisher.

I'm…

Five minutes, Elli.

I'd gladly apologize if I knew what I'd done.

For wanting to protect you?

- Rudow… - For trying to be a good friend?

Cut the drama, or I'll hang up.

Okay.

Okay.

How did the interview go?

It…

…didn't happen.

What?

I suddenly felt unwell.

Well, I'd be lying if I said I was sorry.

Are you feeling better?

Tell me why you were so determined to stop this interview.

Well…

It didn't happen, so everything's fine.

Why?

Because…

Because I like things the way they are.

What if this is your last chance to convince me to stay?

I…

Tell me the truth.

I really thought we were friends.

Are we friends?

I…

I think that you killed your sister.

In the heat of the moment.

And you've repressed it ever since.

Lisa?

How long have you thought that?

Ever since I found out your sister was murdered.

But why?

Because I know your relationship was complicated.

How do you know that?

She told me.

From the way she talked about the two of you.

How well did you know Anna?

Lisa, listen.

Since then, I've done everything I could to protect you.

And I'll keep doing that, but…

I simply don't understand why…

Fifty thousand.

Excuse me?

Well, she's the biggest new talent in the German-speaking market, isn't she?

I asked for a meeting with your sister.

I wanted you to put in a good word for me.

I'm the biggest talent in the German-speaking market

when it comes to convincing my sister.

You should know that I…

How can I put this?

I'm no stranger to paying for favors or…

certain advantages.

But paying the sister? That's a first.

I also play a part in my sister's success.

What do you mean?

Sibling rivalry can push people to perform at their best.

It drives you to prove yourself.

To be seen. To outdo the other.

And in that dynamic, you are the charismatic coach

and your sister is the compliant worker bee.

- A little simplistic, isn't it? - I see. You've had therapy.

Anyway, Lisa is at the top now.

She no longer needs me.

But I…

I need some start-up money.

For what?

That's none of your business.

Your sister is an exceptional talent, I must admit.

I find her stuff a little pretentious.

But people seem to like that sort of thing.

Okay. Fifty thousand.

Half up front. The rest when Lisa signs with my company.

Deal.

This…

This stays between us. Okay?

Absolutely.

She'd kill me for doing this.

SAVE RECORDINGS

Yes.

What?

No…

Come on.

Where is the photographer?

Where are you?

There.

The bottle.

What…

Where was your sister murdered?

On July 5, 2015?

But… I wasn't in Munich then.

I can prove it.

July 5th, Kabul.

Not my parents. Please.

Can you come over?

- Now? - Please?

Sure, I'll leave right now.
