INSPECTOR REX

BLOOD-RED ROSES

Who is it?

Dagmar?

Dagmar...

Where are the tongs?

Have you got them?

I thought so.

Now you feel guilty and come to apologise.

You're a fine one!

Ultrasound! Only dogs hear it. Magic!

I blow the whistle and he fetches useless things.

We're trying it on a pensioner who has the time to get angry.

You can't make me angry.

And you can't either.

How many blows to get Rex to make coffee?

I'll show you. If I take this...

B�ck...

Hello!

Sorry I'm late. But the sausages are fresh.

It doesn't matter. Hi, B�ck.

Where's Rex?

Isn't this great, B�ck? Isn't it magic?

It's this whistle!

Look, the dog whistle you gave us.

Great! Next time I'll get a mixer.

Calm down. They tricked me too.

You get a better deal. You get a reward.

Your sausages!

- Thanks. - You're welcome.

What else is there to eat?

Potatoes in foil, there's cold beer...

And corn on the cob if you want.

We'll have a pleasant Saturday afternoon.

Yes. The first in seven weeks.

- Okay, let's start. - Doing what?

I'll do the barbecue.

You could get digging in the garden.

I thought I was invited for a barbecue, not to work.

That's right, but...

Moser here.

All right. The house number?

Fine. We'll come over.

What's up?

The usual. But this time it's a double murder.

A neighbour found a rose outside and rang the doorbell.

When nobody answered she rang the police.

Maybe a rose seller was here.

It looks professional.

I'll go and ask the other neighbours.

Flowers...

There are no signs of a typical close-up shooting.

- So they used silencers? - Could well be.

Yes. The next-door neighbour heard nothing.

We didn't find a weapon or cartridge cases.

They either used a revolver or they took the cases.

Absurd! They take the cases but leave the roses behind.

Thanks.

I can't tell you more.

The blood traces indicate that she was shot at short range

and he was killed by two distant shots.

Both victims were shot in the heart.

- What about the ammunition? - Richard... after the autopsy.

Can't I ask?

The sooner I start the sooner you'll know.

- I'll send them over. - Make sure it happens soon.

The neighbours only knew that they were chemists.

To be precise, biochemists who worked for Professor Dorner.

Who?

You don't know him? He's a cancer research expert.

This patient also shows much improvement, Professor Dorner.

Looks like a breakthrough.

Cancer cells stopped multiplying in 96 per cent of test patients.

My congratulations on the new drug's development.

Hoffmann, you know very well I didn't develop it by myself.

Without my colleagues' help it would have taken much longer.

When will the drug be on the market?

Many more tests will have to be done,

but maybe within a year, a year and a half...

That would be good.

No drug will top this in the near future.

Professor Dorner, I want to thank you.

You've saved my life.

No, it wasn't just me. All the other doctors here...

And I'm sure you did your bit too.

Thank you again. Thanks.

Any plans for today? Working in the lab?

For heaven's sake, no. We've made great progress.

I'll be with my family in our country house.

Have a good weekend, Professor.

Catch!

Great! A fantastic reaction.

20 years in this office!

They forgot about me in the garden.

It doesn't matter. The meat would be burnt anyway.

So I bought some ham rolls and took a bus here.

By chance, right?

No, not really.

Would I miss out on a double murder?

Any news?

Well... the murder victims are a couple.

Academics... biochemists, to be precise.

And? Who was it?

Richard would like to know too.

It looks like pros.

Now we're also dealing with pros?

Who would kill an academic couple in this way?

Any clues?

For bank and health insurance information

I need a court order, and today's Saturday.

When I was working, bureaucracy annoyed me too.

Don't get angry. Let's eat.

- Let me do it. - We'll manage.

You wanted to go fishing.

- Forgot something? - I left without the bait.

Are they for me?

Don't move! Or all dead.

- What do you want? - You call daughter.

Call daughter.

Hurry.

- Kathrin... - Yes?

- Please come down. - Yes, Dad.

- What's going on? - Don't scream!

Or all dead.

I drive away with professor now.

My colleague stay here.

If something goes wrong, women die.

Okay. We'll...

Okay, we'll do what you tell us.

- What do you want? - Don't ask questions.

If I not call regularly, my colleague will kill women.

Help, Dad!

No! Leave my girl alone!

Don't do that again.

I'm not surprised there's no answer.

Murders shouldn't happen on weekends.

But the killers ignore that.

Ah, Max!

I knew you wouldn't stay at home.

And sit in your garden while the music's playing here?

Look, the instruments haven't even been tuned.

- We didn't find a motive either. - What's new here?

I looked into the company where they both worked.

The papers are on the table.

Cancer research. They're developing a new drug.

It's no motive for a double murder.

Wrong. Drugs make money.

We have to talk to their boss, Professor Dorner.

- Have you talked to him? - Not yet.

I sent someone to his house, but nobody was there.

Hello, Professor. Working again on a Saturday?

I left something in my office.

- How's your project going? - Very well, thank you.

When will the new drug be on the market?

A friend of mine...

Please open the gate. I'm in a hurry.

Of course, Professor.

Look! Not even Forensics found any useful clues.

They'll need some time to analyse everything.

Koch here, retired inspector.

Oh, Leo, it's you.

Wait, I'll pass you on. Doctor Graf.

Hello, Leo. What?

What's new?

Identical bullet holes in their clothes and bodies?

What else?

Are you sure? They used Mak cartridges?

You've been a big help. Bye.

Mak cartridges. They used a Makarov.

- A Russian army pistol? - Right.

You need special ammunition that isn't easy to get.

Let's recap. A Russian army pistol with ammunition.

They went about it very professionally.

And two cancer research scientists are dead.

Let's check the victims' workplace.

Don't play tricks or your family will suffer.

- This is what you want. - Fine.

- Can I go now? - No.

Professor Dorner?

Yes? I'm here.

Professor...

I saw your car outside.

I... I needed some papers.

I ask because I haven't seen you lately on Saturdays.

We're working on weekends again.

You can continue your rounds.

Okay...

Have a nice weekend, Professor.

- And now? - We drive to another place.

We must find this professor. Right now!

He won't be in his office. Today is Saturday.

Ring his office again. Maybe someone knows.

- May l, Max? - Sure...

Thanks.

Security...

No. Nobody can be reached today.

Professor Dorner? He was here just now.

He left a minute ago.

So he often works on Saturdays?

- Not lately. - Not lately... I see.

Do you know where we could contact him? It's urgent.

- No idea. - Who would know where he is?

Maybe Dr Hoffmann. Hold on, I'll get you his number.

Wait, I'll write it down. Yes, in the cancer ward.

Thank you. You've helped us a lot.

Bye.

I'll call him myself.

Dr Hoffmann.

Dr Hoffmann? Moser here. Crime Squad.

Just a minute, please. Go ahead, I'll come later.

Where can I contact Professor Dorner?

He's at his weekend house in Maria Enzersdorf.

- Where exactly? - Below the castle.

Among the vineyards.

- Has something happened? - No. Don't be alarmed.

I see. Then everything's fine.

No, no. That's all right. Not at all.

Ouch!

Can I go to the bathroom and get a bandaid?

- I don't understand. - A bandage.

Nyet.

Can I go and get one?

Nyet.

Go on, Professor. We're nearly there. Go right.

Don't be afraid, Professor. This is for my safety.

Sorry, I haven't introduced myself.

Vasily Malinovsky.

What?

You're the Malinovsky? The biochemist?

- You know me? - Yes.

I've read some of your articles.

Then you know not to give incorrect answers.

Come here.

Sit down.

I've known for some time

that you're working on a new drug for cancer.

They say this cytostatic...

has a high remission rate and only minor side effects.

Read about it in my papers.

Sure... but you and l, Professor...

know what the procedure is.

The preclinical figures don't show everything.

Much important information is only in your head.

And I must have that information.

In there is every detail available about the new drug.

Don't forget that your family is under our control.

Okay.

But first I want to talk to my family.

Just don't say where you are or who is with you. Okay?

Yes?

Okay.

Hello?

Yes...

Is everything all right?

We're okay too.

When will you be home?

I hope so. We love you too.

I can't stand this any longer.

No! Let go of her.

I shoot her dead!

She won't say another word.

I swear she won't.

But please... please don't harm her.

- That must be the house. - Looks quite expensive.

He's the top cancer research authority. Didn't you know?

Stay here, Rex.

Okay, go and play.

And behave!

- Nobody seems to be home. - No, someone's there.

Hello.

Moser, Crime Squad. My colleague B�ck.

We're looking for Professor Dorner.

I don't know where my husband is.

- We have to see him urgently. - May I ask why?

His colleagues, the Kerns, were murdered today.

May we come in?

It's not possible. Sorry.

Well...

Do you know where I could reach him by phone?

No. I think he went fishing. He didn't take a phone.

Well, then... All right, Mrs Dorner.

Please ask him to ring me when he gets back.

It looks as if your dog wants to get inside.

He's been in the garden. Maybe he's thirsty.

Yes...

- Well... come inside, then. - Go to your place.

A good dog.

Thanks...

- Goodbye. - Bye.

And thank you.

Go to your place.

Can I give my dog some water?

Sit!

The task force could be half an hour, so we have to act.

And do what?

I'm sure we're being watched. Let's drive off.

One minute.

They're leaving right now. They're driving off.

If you problems...

I shoot two women first.

From here you get a good view of the house.

Yes, it's very hidden.

- Whose car is that? - The winegrower's?

Let's have a look.

B�ck, the roses...

Men involved in the Kern case are in the house.

The Kern couple also worked on a new drug.

The professor was in his office today.

It could be extortion.

But why were the Kerns murdered?

Maybe they resisted.

Let's check the house from the back.

If he your dog, why not have own bowl?

He has one.

We forgot to bring it.

What his name? You call him.

Tasso...

Tasso!

I not like dogs.

But him only tired.

Not dangerous.

Looks as if only one man is inside.

And two women.

What are your plans for Rex?

It has to work. Rex will take the weapon and we'll attack.

How will it work?

With the dog whistle. We've practised it.

I've copped it once, thank you.

Exactly. We'll just wait for the right moment.

When he turns his back to Rex...

Okay, I'll lure him to the door.

And I'll come via the terrace.

That's very interesting, Professor.

Very interesting.

But how did you manage to minimise the side effects

to the bone marrow and the blood?

By selective enrichment.

The cytostatic only affects the tumour cells. Understand?

So you expect a remission rate of 80 to 90 per cent, right?

At least 90 per cent.

That's very high.

Comparable drugs are effective about 50 per cent of the time.

This is a unique drug.

- Thanks. - Go on.

What else do you want to know?

I told you everything.

No, you haven't told me everything.

Find out the rest yourself.

Yes?

Okay.

All right, then.

What else do you want to know?

I have a few questions to ask you.

Such as...

Why doesn't this drug weaken the immune system?

Professor?

Excuse me. I'll be back soon.

I told you the police were at his house.

The records aren't complete. I have more questions.

It won't take long.

I wish he were dead and we were on the plane.

Just a bit more patience, young man.

Kathrin!

Come down.

Away, Rex!

Hand grenade! Take cover!

Give me your weapon.

Tell him to go.

Your weapon.

Now...

You dead!

Not this time

Now! Window!

What was wrong with your weapon? Jammed?

No, the safety catch was on.

Doesn't hurt at times.

You're insane.

Madness!

The development of such a drug costs billions.

We don't need to pay that.

And I can produce it cheaper and faster.

No security checks, no government controls...

And I'll be the first.

What if faults occur in the production?

Unlike you,

I won't tell my patients what could happen to them.

So will you finally write down the formula?

Well?

I want to talk to my family first.

Fine.

But I'm warning you, don't do anything silly.

It happened so fast.

Suddenly the two men were standing there.

One drove off with my husband.

But I don't know where they are.

Police here. We've arrested your colleague.

We're prepared to exchange him for Professor Dorner.

Professor!

The police have arrested Oleg.

- We'll shoot him and leave. - No.

I need one more piece of information, or it's worthless.

I made sure it ran smoothly.

Now you make sure we don't get caught.

I must check the papers carefully and get all the information.

I won't stop now!

Excuse me.

We've found something.

A knife.

- I not talk. - We'll see.

And something else. Sweets!

And... a city map with paperclips.

Here's the address of the Kerns.

The address of Professor Dorner's company.

- And one on the Handelskai. - What?

- Look. - Show me.

Send the task force over.

We have to leave. We'll take him with us.

Can we have your husband's photo?

Wait, I'll get one.

Do you think they'll harm him?

I hope not.

I'm very happy, my dear colleague.

That's all.

- Are you ready? - Yes.

Help! Help!

Attention! We're the police.

We've surrounded the house! Come out with your hands up!

- What's happening? - Nobody's come out.

Stop! Police!

Put your things down very slowly.

Very slowly.

Against the wall.

Come out. Come out slowly.

Hello.

You almost gave us heart attacks too.

Let's go.

They were my closest colleagues.

They were killed so they couldn't reconstruct the formula.

They also wanted... they tried to kill me.

I understand.

Malinovsky wanted to market it first.

And without the usual tests. Real madness.

I understand, Professor.

Now we'll take you home to your family.

No need to thank us. We like doing it.

Yes, of course. It's our duty.

You're welcome. Goodbye.

That's never happened to me before.

Welcome, gentlemen.

The things that happened here!

A man comes in screaming "My wife's disappeared!

"My wife's disappeared." He's desperate.

We ring around like mad. We send people everywhere.

Guess what? Madam had moved in with her mother.

And we'd run ourselves ragged.

Was it as bad for you?

Nothing exciting. Or was it?

No, our work was nothing compared to yours.

Right, Rex?
