�nneli.

You are my child.

Despite anything else.

Your father... he's still alive.

It's... He's...

You'll finally stay out of this.

All right...

My mother was raped and I'm the result.

Where's Anna-Maria?

We have to start.

Can you track her mobile?

Two meters? I don't think so.

Sure and at least 250 kilos.

Alpha! S�rmel, wait!

250 kilos? That's nonsense.

-What weighs 250 kilos? -The wild boar.

No, a tusker.

-Where? -Behind you.

There it is.

The trap's been prepared.

He's got the bait already.

-The wild boar? -Yes. Open it.

THE UNDERTAKER

LAST WORDS

Of course, Anna-Maria didn't need to show up.

After all, it's only her mother.

Dear relatives, friends and acquaintances.

We have gathered here in the name of the father, the son and the holy ghost.

-Amen. -Amen.

"For my thoughts aren't your thoughts"...

"Neither are your ways my ways," says the Lord...

For as the heavens are higher than the earth,

so are my ways higher than your ways.

And my thoughts than your thoughts...

We have to say farewell today to Luc...

No, Martha Giovanoli.

A dead man?

A dead woman?

The fact that she wasn't at the funeral means nothing.

Luc... Luc!

Why are you all relieved? Should I know the lady?

-And where's the Chief Inspector? -You'll have to do with me today.

-When did you arrive? -Half an hour ago.

Be prepared. May I?

Doerig, CID Aargau.

Hi there. Did you find her?

It's Mrs. Gruber.

-You know her? -She was my kindergarten teacher.

But did you find her?

Suddenly the Wildboar was there and wanted my mobile.

Then he called the police.

Who's the Wildboar?

The woodman.

No need to be afraid. I know the woodman, he won't harm you.

-Stop! -Susanne!

Secure the scene of crime. Hold her back!

Susanne, no!

We need crime scene tape!

This is a crime scene. Go back!

Take her back to the car.

She's been dead for at least 12 hours.

But not for longer than 24 hours. It was hot yesterday.

-You want to take over, Mr. Conrad? -Later.

By the way, we were on first-name terms.

Sorry, force of habit.

Right, the lady was strangled.

Probably with the same belt she was whipped with.

Whipped?

Yes, there are weals and buckle marks.

And she had sexual intercourse.

There are traces of sperm in the vaginal area.

Rape?

-So, she was raped? -Get out right away!

Can't you watch out?

That bastard raped her.

I can only tell you after the autopsy.

-What? -Whether she was raped.

-So let's get her to forensics. -Yes, all right.

Who did that?

Who did that to her?

Susanne!

Susanne!

Mario!

Mario, open up please! Damn it!

Mario, Mario!

Anna-Maria, it�s me. Please call me.

There's lots of trouble in the village and Doerig's a mess without you.

I'm really worried. Please, call me back.

Oops!

Have you got my wife?

That's not a good idea. Believe me.

Have you got my wife?

My deepest condolences...

But still, you can only see her at the institute.

That's better than here on this country road.

Luc Conrad.

-Have they caught the bastard? -You have to ask the police.

Are you driving to Morgenthal?

Can I come along?

Have you got a suspicion?

That animal.

He raped her.

That's only speculation.

She's dead.

Is that speculation, too?

I know that the powerlessness is gruesome.

You can't change it anymore. But understand.

What's to understand?

I can't.

No, she doesn't know anything. Surely not.

I just can't do it.

She's my sister.

Hello?

When did you last see her?

Yesterday afternoon. She went into the woods.

When will you finally lock up the black man, Sheriff?

My name's Doerig, CID Aargau.

-And who are you? -Stipe.

-And your surname? -Ivanovic.

What are you waiting for? The madman's long gone.

-How do you know that the black... -It was his trap!

Do you need fingerprints? Lock that animal up!

My son's witnessed the Wildboar coming out of the pit.

He told me something differently.

Sven doesn't lie.

The Wildboar, is he a man of the cloth or a hermit?

The hunters call it wild boar. Do you get it, Sheriff?

You have to track Anna-Maria's mobile right away!

-Is the dead woman at forensics? -Where else?

-Off you go, then. -What happened?

-Who are you? -Patrick Gruber, her husband.

-By the way, I'm Balu. -I'm Alpha.

That's a cool thing.

You need it in the woods.

Forget about mobile phone GPS. The reception's shit.

You know the woods, right?

My father's the forester.

Tell me, the Wildboar...

47,5029 degrees north...

-Sven! -...and 8,2404 degrees east.

Sven?

Sven! Would you come, please?

-Do you know how that thing works? -Of course.

NO GPS!

Of course!

Why didn't you sleep at home?

We had an argument.

An argument? About what?

Don't you ever argue with your wife? -I'm divorced.

-Where's your store? -In Aarau.

-You're questioning the wrong guy! -So who should I question?

-The Wildboar. -Don't question him, lock him up!

Any proof?

Haven't you heard of the Nevada slaughterer?

Five women who were strangled. It was all over the internet, Sheriff!

-We're not in Nevada. -But he was.

He only came back in 1977.

-That's long ago. -But Susanne's murder isn't.

-Why does he live in the woods? -Because he's an animal hiding here.

A very questionable attitude.

I've had enough. I'll cope with it now!

Markus...

We're going home.

Hey, hey, hey!

Is something wrong?

Please, excuse me.

I could smell the vinegar.

I guess it's wild berry?

That's none of your bloody business.

Doesn't it make you sick?

No. What do you want here?

-Drop the weapon. -Hey, calm down.

The man was only slaughtering.

I've a few questions. Inside.

I don't mind.

You stay here.

You stay here.

How long have you been living here?

For a long time.

Does this part of the wood belong to you?

So, who's the owner?

Giovanoli.

Martha Giovanoli?

But I didn't see you at the funeral.

You found Susanne Gruber's corpse?

-No, the kids. -Did you know Susanne well?

Yes.

Where were you yesterday between 5:00 and 10:00 p.m.?

-Here. -Any witnesses?

Kierkegaard.

What's the address? Please.

KIERKEGAARD FEAR AND SHIVERING

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

A Sheriff's star, but no balls.

Where were you yesterday between 5:00 and 10:00 p.m.?

-We had a meeting. -What meeting?

-Neighborhood watch. -Very funny!

-Morgenthal. One for all... -And all for one.

Our slogan. Typically Swiss.

Let's go now! Come on. Off we go!

Erika?

-Exactly where are you? -In Morgenthal.

-I need you in the office. -I can't.

There's a coffin delivery and I'm doing the accounting.

Tell Fabio!

Do you want us to do everything alone now?

This isn't the right moment, Erika.

-I see and what is? -I'll be there soon.

Listen, Luc. I'll retire soon.

If it goes on like this...

I'll have to quit. A client.

Luc? Luc!

Luc Conrad.

-Are you the sister? -Dora Perler.

My condolences.

-You're already working again? -It's distracting.

She was still standing in front of me with her mushroom basket yesterday.

Mushrooms, already?

The chanterelles are early this year.

She loved mushrooms and the forest.

The hermit in the wood...

The Wildboar? They got on well.

Maybe too well.

She's the only one who stuck by him. And Martha.

You also think the Wildboar...

It was a very thoughtful funeral this morning.

Except for the graveyard.

Did you know Martha well?

Not only Martha. The whole Giovanoli family.

Mario is a regular.

He really took care of his mother and vice versa.

I don't know how he's getting on now.

I know the sister, too. I saw her from a distance yesterday.

Where, in the village?

She went into her mother's house. I hardly recognized her.

Right, I have to go.

My sister, would you...

Sure, Mrs. Perler. I've talked to your brother-in-law already.

She should be at our funeral parlor this evening.

I have to go. Goodbye.

-Mrs. Perler? -Yes?

I've got a few questions.

Luc, you're a fine colleague!

You're not good at being boss, are you?

Sorry.

Anna-Maria and I...

I'm also worried.

Her mobile was tracked here in Morgenthal last.

It's been switched off for 17 hours.

So at the same time Gruber was murdered.

Maybe Anna-Maria witnessed something and the killer...

What are you here for?

Where it says Giovanoli, there might be Giovanoli inside.

-Hey, are you crazy? -No.

Are you nuts?

-That's housebreaking, my friend. -Arrest me then!

Anna-Maria?

Hello? Is anyone in?

Gosh!

This is where Anna-Maria grew up.

That's why she ran away when she was 18.

Hello?

Anna-Maria?

-Come on, she's not here. -But where is she?

-And? -Nothing.

Patrick.

Susanne...

Get the dog.

Get the dog!

Go on!

I really don't like being the boss. I've no authority.

No need to exaggerate.

It was even the same in kindergarten.

Look. Authority is nothing more than authenticity.

It's all a question of attitude.

If you're convinced of something, you're authentic.

And then you automatically have authority.

Corpses for example...

Most people are far more authentic when they're dead,

because they don't change their attitude all the time.

So, I should shoot myself now?

The garage is on the left!

Wait.

-It's Semmelweiss. -Let's look at the garage first.

It's closed.

Come on, hey!

One broken window a day is enough.

That shit Morgenthal.

Neighborhood watch, forget it! It's street justice!

-We'd need an insider. -Anna-Maria's from here!

The daughter hasn't been home in 20 years and the son never left.

Unfunctional, isn't it?

It's called dysfunctional and every family is.

She didn't defend herself. She probably knew her murderer.

And she lost consciousness quickly.

I guess so, because of the wound on the back of her head.

It was caused by a spruce trunk.

The second most common tree species in our canton, did you know?

Well...

The killer probably didn't care, just like you.

Look, the whip traces are very regular.

So she didn't move anymore.

Then she was strangled, from behind.

Probably with the same belt.

The material's in the lab, together with the sperm.

So, she was raped.

No traces of a fight. She probably agreed to the sexual intercourse.

But not with her husband, as they had an argument.

-Has he got an alibi? -He says so.

Then he'd probably need two.

Alibis!

I'm afraid that this isn't the killer's first time.

Get him, search!

That way!

Get him, search!

Damn! The bastard's escaped.

Got you, you bloody swine!

Get out! Get out!

Take it easy.

We'll kick your head in, you son of a bitch.

Madeleine Meienberger, 32 years old, nurse.

She was found in Bern about a year ago.

The case was never solved.

She was whipped with a belt.

There you can see the mark of the buckle.

Then she was strangled.

And the same belt marks. Am I right?

-A serial killer? -I told you!

But the lady in Bern had no sexual intercourse. So I might be wrong.

-She was a nurse? -Yes.

Martha Giovanoli was in hospital in Bern.

The Chief Inspector's mother.

-But I think the murderer is male. -Me, too.

So you've got strong suspect?

Please compare the traces of the belt. The corpse will stay here.

Doerig.

Pardon? I'm coming.

-Anna-Maria? -No.

That shit Morgenthal.

Look! You overlooked that.

-What's that? -Susanne wore it yesterday.

-Where did you find it? -In his hut.

-How did you get at the jacket? -Tell them.

-How did you do it? -Tell them!

Say it!

Stop that insanity right now!

But I have to know.

Let's go home now.

It's so convenient to have a scapegoat.

Maybe they're right.

We'll check on that Mario now.

Really? But the evidence against the Wildboar is substantial.

Mario visited his mother in that hospital. Check on it!

First we'll find out whether it's the same murderer.

What a shit day!

I have to calm down. Will you join me at �mer's?

No.

-Come on, just watch me. -Enjoy it.

You're a real good nose.

Right...

I'm looking for Mario Giovanoli.

I am not allowed to talk to the police.

Yes, I understand, but the problem is that I'm the undertaker.

How many dead have you seen?

Unfortunately, that's a professional secret.

But I've seen Mario.

Where?

The dead first.

I'd have to check, but I'm sure it was 1,000.

Thanks.

You rascal.

Fabio, it's Luc. Pick me up at Morgenthal Street 8.

And don't tell Erika.

Hello?

They're not at home.

Tell me, are these Mario's cars? But the farmhouse belongs to the Baumanns.

For how much longer will Mrs. Gruber's hair and nails grow?

Nothing grows when you're dead.

It only looks like it because the skin retreats as it's dried out.

When did you see him last?

Why don't you answer the phone?

Erika, it's an emergency.

I'm an emergency, too.

Really! Anne-Maria is missing and a ripper's running round this shithole.

And you have to arrest him.

It can't go on like this. You were almost shot by Lauener.

-He's dead now. -Yes, because I informed Doerig.

Otherwise you'd be in a Conrad coffin.

-Anna-Maria is missing. -That's what the police is for.

I just can't go on. All the worries and troubles for years.

It's killing me.

I have to search the house.

You know what? I quit!

-Just a moment! -No moment.

Did you have lunch?

I'm not hungry.

You see? That's what I mean. I feel just the same.

The stress ruins your stomach.

We have to slow down.

Fabio's agreed.

But with the car you should gear up.

Fabio wants to slow down?

No... He has to work more, so we can slow down.

No need to look like that. The man is competent.

And he's ambitious.

He wants to pass the Swiss undertaker exam.

-Hello, Mr. Gruber. -Why is my wife still with forensics?

I'm sorry. A police order.

-When can we see her? -I'll call you...

We're going. I'm not having that.

My name's B�rgisser.

I'm sorry that you weren't correctly informed.

That's not the problem.

Patrick argued with her yesterday and today she's dead.

Now he's sorry.

You never know when the end is coming.

I'm sorry. No need to tell you.

-Would you like a drink? -No, thanks.

Just some fresh air. Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Mr. Conrad, it's enough. Erika's in a midlife crisis. She needs us now.

Erika, midlife?

So what? Everything's later these days.

Children, getting old, dying...

She'll get her pension in two days. It really stresses her.

-Have you got a present? -A family size pack of Valium.

And if you had seen her for the last time today?

One can learn from mistakes... theoretically.

Some learn from mistakes and some learn for the undertaker exam.

So you don't want to talk?

Fine, you've got the right to do so.

But it's not in your interest.

You don't want to spend the night here.

Our cells are narrow and close, especially in summer.

And there are no birds twittering.

All right, my colleague will take you to the cell now.

See you tomorrow. Good night.

Flavia...

You should've seen his face when he looked out of his pit and into the gun.

-Why didn't you shoot, Geiser? -A waste of munitions.

Exactly.

I would've paid for the bullet with my pocket money.

-Pity you weren't there. -Yes.

Good evening, everyone.

-This is a pub, right? -What else?

A club pub.

Does it matter?

-What do you want? -A lager.

Sure.

Is Mario also here?

So many questions.

Right, then... ask.

I'm looking for Mario Giovanoli.

I'm sure he's a member of your neighborhood watch.

Why?

I'm Martha Giovanoli's undertaker and I have a few questions.

And Anna-Maria?

-Has anyone seen her? -Yes. I have.

22 years ago.

-Me, too. -So have I.

-You took a closer look. -And you'd have loved to.

We'd love to help out.

But there are far too little bad boys here for a woman like Giovanoli.

I don't think she'll ever come back.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Yes. It's me.

She's gone.

Yes, it's all my fault.

I just couldn't do it.

But... Now I really know what I have to do.

Good evening.

Remain seated. Except if you're with the fire brigade.

A pipe burst in Baumann's farmhouse.

Could I have your mobile?

The reception's better outside.

Doerig?

Doerig? Yes, it's me.

Yes.

Come to my mother's house, 4 Morgenthal Street.

And bring forensics.

I was at that farmhouse.

Oh, God, you're lucky. I put 240 volts on the door handle.

He deserves it, believe me.

So I'm right. It is Mario.

Don't you want to wait until Doerig's here.

I did that.

Anna-Maria.

It's mine.

He had already unlocked it.

He wanted to shoot you?

Yes.

Could you give me the towel?

Thanks.

Thanks.

Anna-Maria!

What happened?

That's mine. It needs to go to the lab.

Reto.

I'll file charges for threat, imprisonment and assault.

-Against? -Mario Giovanoli.

Come along.

He attacked me in here.

There were lots of newspaper extracts here.

An unsolved case.

A ripper.

Madeleine Meienberger.

How do you know?

Do you know Susanne Gruber?

Dora's little sister.

She was killed in the woods yesterday.

Just like Maienberger in Bern.

She was whipped and strangled. Both with the same belt.

We've checked on it. A serial killer.

I'm sure Mario visited your mother in hospital.

You surprised Mario with the newspaper extracts.

I'm sure he wanted to kill you.

You're only still alive because you're his sister.

Has Mario done things like that before?

Mario...

He was locked up as a youngster in an Aarburg home.

A few years.

He had brutally beaten up someone.

Take the bloody room apart.

The whole shitty house!

Anna-Maria... You needn't get involved in the case.

Come on. We're going home.

-Better take the back door. -No way!

At least I got to know your family.

Great. A ripper and his accomplice.

-Accomplice? -Yes, my mother.

She knew it.

Or at least she suspected it.

But you only finds out on your deathbed, right?

On her deathbed, she...

She asked me to look after Mario.

-That's why you were in his room? -Yes.

What can you do? Last words!

Did she say anything else?

What?

Last words...

Did she say anything else?

Why?

Morning.

Did you sleep well?

Great.

Do you want a coffee?

I urgently need new clothes.

Would you drive me?

Anna-Maria!

Morning.

Are you all right?

Would you like a tea? What happened?

She was locked up in the basement of a farmhouse.

Who did that?

My brother.

So, old Conrad wasn't all that wrong.

But neither were you.

Thank God you didn't let me into the basement.

I would've been connected to Morgenthal's electricity grid.

So we were both right, Erika.

We've no evidence against you.

So... Everything's fine.

You can go back to the woods.

So? Come along.

-Hey. -Morning.

Willi?

�nneli! Hello.

You know each other?
