INSPECTOR REX

DEATH VlA THE lNTERNET

What are you doing tonight?

I'm seeing TwoforYou.

From the chat room?

I've already met up...

with them.

She looks great.

I think she's horny.

Sounds cool.

Half your luck.

Shall I put you in touch with them?

I'll think about it.

Let me know how it went.

That might...

take a while.

I'm off to New Zealand tomorrow.

I'm off to New Zealand.

Well...

Have fun.

Give it to her, buddy.

Okay, see you.

Bye!

I hope he's as good as he looks.

Me too. He sounded promising.

Promise you won't freak out

if he says something you don't like, okay?

Hi.

Come in.

Hey, you didn't say you were a surfer.

I go overseas every year for a few months.

It's fun, keeps me fit and as a pro I get paid.

I'm flying out tomorrow.

Then let's not waste any time.

You don't mind me filming?

Fine, if you get off on that. I said it was okay.

The bedroom's through there.

Okay...

Won't you slip your coat off?

I'd love to.

All right...

I prefer it a bit harder.

I'll do anything you want!

What about your Husband?

He'll come...

Well? Don't you want to get undressed?

I'll film a bit first.

Forget the camera and join us.

Coming.

It was agreed we'd both give her a good time.

Yes, coming.

Are we going to screw, or can't you do it?

Can't you get it up?

Are you crazy? Stop it.

I think he's dead.

Three months later...

Do you sell hand-held vacuum cleaners?

- Of course. Over there. - Thank you.

You're sure Fritz wants one of those?

No, but he's getting one. It's perfect for him.

Don't!

Chill out. We have to try it, don't we?

At least it works.

Uh oh! I'm going to see what Rex is up to.

Thank you.

Down. Get down.

Down. Now!

Now! What did I say?

- Is this your dog? - Not exactly.

- You must buy this bed now. - I need a new one anyway.

Nice, isn't it?

Great!

B�ck here. Hello, Kunz. What's up?

What's going on?

- I'm a police officer. - Anyone can say that.

Whoa! He may not look like it but it's true.

- Where are you taking that? - Thanks, Kunz.

- We've got work, Alex. - Right.

- Excuse us. - Bye.

Here. Goodbye.

Hello. Where are they?

- Hello, Leo. - Hello, Alex.

Well, I can't tell you much at the moment.

We've got a male corpse

with a blow to the head.

The serious head injuries are still clearly visible.

- How old? - Well...

Judging by his teeth, I'd say not much over 30.

- How long has he been here? - It's such a wet environment.

That makes it really hard to estimate.

But for a corpse to decompose to this extent

takes weeks, even months at this time of the year.

Hi, Leo.

Hello.

Sorry, Alex. There were no gumboots left in your size.

They released water overnight so the corpse came to light.

Let's try to keep it out of the papers for a while.

- Ask them to keep it quiet. - Okay.

I'll ask Kunz to check the missing persons list.

Careful.

Any special reason for keeping it quiet?

The killer will be feeling pretty confident by now.

Come in.

Coming to lunch, boss?

No, I'm busy. Bring me back a snack.

Sure.

Hi. Well?

We're running two weeks late but otherwise it's going fine.

Shall we go on the Net?

Klaus. Klaus, please...

We must stop dwelling on it.

I wish it hadn't happened, but he's dead now.

Don't forget he provoked me.

Yes, but where do we go from here?

The only thing that turns me on is watching you.

I need that.

How long have you been caretaker here?

Two years.

When Mr Bachmann was away I collected his mail for him.

I have his key for emergencies only.

- Have you been here recently? - No, I've had no cause.

He was often away for months.

Has anything happened to him?

His parents have reported him as missing.

Would you leave us? We have to look around.

If you need me, I'll be in my flat.

Thank you.

He'd already packed his bags.

Have you found something?

Come here, Alex.

Glass shards. Under the bed too.

There could have been a fight.

Bingo.

Now we've got a victim and the crime scene.

Okay... No password.

He surfed the Net a lot...

newsgroups, chat programs, sex contacts.

- Where did you learn all that? - At the course you jigged.

We'll take this.

I'll notify the lab guys. They'll need a while.

We should have taken his laptop.

We've been over this. Don't worry.

Nobody knows we knew him. We used a code name.

You're really checking out the newsgroups again?

It's the first time since then.

I just want to see what's happening.

Tiger: I pamper couples in Vienna. Anything goes!

If we knew whom he contacted, it'd really help a lot.

We might be able to work out their lP address.

It's like a car registration number.

So it tells you who used the computer?

No. You can find out where the computer was

but not who used it.

So?

You've got the car but not who drove it.

And there are bogus addresses.

You think his chat pals used nicknames?

- What? - Sure. Everyone does.

If they're smart, we'll never find them.

Just great!

Anyway, we mustn't forget what day it is.

Rex!

What day is it?

Today you've been with us for a year.

That's shocking.

Nonetheless, congratulations.

A hand-held vacuum. Just what I always wanted!

See!

Blows to the head, severe lacerations,

a broken skull, brain damage and one distinctive fracture.

The murder weapon was probably a long metal object.

I'd say it was an act of passion.

Yes.

The last phone calls he made were about three months ago.

That would tie in with my findings.

Any concrete leads yet?

He trawled the Net for sex.

Everyone does these days.

It's anonymous. People lose their inhibitions.

As I read somewhere recently,

there's no easier place to lie than on the lnternet.

Men seeking couples

Tiger: I pamper discerning couples in Vienna.

Anything goes.

We're interested. Can you come online?

ICQ, 50 92 54 21.

TwoforYou...

I'm online.

Can we meet?

Any time.

How about tonight, Caf, Sperl?

Okay, 8 o'clock.

I'll be playing billiards.

The user?

The computer was at a trade fair?

So it could have been anyone.

Thanks all the same.

Hang in there, Kunz.

Got anything?

I've found the names he chatted to most...

Robin Hood, Zarathustra, Waterman,

Beach Boy.

But mainly he chatted to someone called Tiger.

Thanks for doing this.

I'm telling you now...

if I don't like the look of him, I won't go through with it.

He may be a real hunk.

Robin Hood's not a goer. He's never online.

Try Sherwood Forest.

I've contacted Beach Boy. He's a surfer in LA.

- Any luck? - I'm trying to get Tiger.

Fuzzy calling Tiger

I'm sorry. I couldn't do it.

It's okay.

I can't help thinking about it.

Nearly finished.

What do you want? Would you like a go?

All right. You can try.

Let's see.

Perfect!

On the count of three, okay?

One, two...

Jump!

Good.

Jump!

Come on, time to get ready. We have to go to work.

Contact me about last night.

Keyword, Caf, Sperl. I've got news.

Calling Tiger.

Fuzzy calling Tiger.

Who are you, Fuzzy?

Who are you, Fuzzy?

A friend of Rider's. Where is he?

New Zealand.

New Zealand? No, he's not.

Tell me where he is.

I don't give information.

LOGGED OUT.

- Morning. - Any news?

I found Tiger but he wasn't co-operative and kicked me out.

This is getting us nowhere. Morning.

Morning.

I'm afraid you're right.

Bachmann chatted on the Net and he sought couples for sex.

The chat pals are no help. Let's try the couples.

- How will we do that? - We'll do what Bachmann did.

- We'll advertise. - What?

You want us to offer ourselves as sex partners?

Then we'll have to meet them.

Duh!

- What good will it do? - The killer might contact us.

We'll have to meet hundreds of couples

and then we'll have to...

Hi.

- We're over here. - You're from the chat room?

- Sit down. - Come on.

Come on.

That's the countess and I'm the count.

Yes, I read your email but I must have misunderstood.

You're probably new to this.

That can have its charms.

Well? Shall we have some fun together?

- Any ideas? - We could go to the movies.

Well? How do you like Helga?

Wow! I'm surprised you're not jealous.

Certain things are off limits.

- I'm Hansi. First names only. - I'm Fritz.

You can knock it back!

A few more and there's no stopping me.

Don't drink so much today, okay?

It makes him so aggressive.

Well?

- Well, what? - Go for it, Fritz.

- Looking for something? - Yes.

Police. You can still call me Fritz, though.

Rex, I think you'd better stay outside.

Come in.

I'm Heinz.

Hi, I'm Alex. Nice place.

This way.

Where's your wife?

- In the cellar? - Our playroom's down there.

She's in there.

Go in. You're in for a surprise.

A bit of light would help.

What is this?

I noted your registration number. I can find out who you are.

For 5000 schillings you can have the film.

Give me the film now or else...

You've cooked up a nice little blackmail scheme.

But today's not your day. We're from the police.

Maybe Fuzzy's not quite the right name.

- Got a better idea? - How about Adonis?

Rambo?

Fritz!

You come up with something.

Eros?

- Eros? Okay. - Great. Here's a schilling.

Thanks.

Contact me about last night.

I've got news.

What do you want?

That was unfair.

Sorry. Something came up at work.

You're lying. I saw you.

You don't know what we look like.

Rider described you.

What has Rider to do with it?

I know everything.

What do you know?

I'll tell you that when we meet.

What do you want?

Hey...

Were you in that chat program again?

No, I'm working.

Klaus...

I'm sorry about last night.

Try to understand how I feel.

It's all right.

- Are you going to the site? - Yes, I am.

I popped in to say goodbye.

- Okay? - Yes.

Let's meet.

Okay, when?

- 8 o'clock. - Okay.

Himmelwiese carpark.

Dark Mercedes.

Bye.

Hello, Tiger.

Where's your wife?

She won't be long. She's just dolling herself up.

But she'll be in it tonight?

Sure. Yesterday she was in a bad mood.

- How was it with Rider? - Great.

- Didn't he tell you? - No.

I haven't spoken to him since he met you.

I also heard he never left town...

Mr Kainz.

How do you know my name?

I gave your registration number to a mate at the police.

If I could sleep with your wife from time to time

it'd be helping both of us.

- Where is she, by the way? - She's just coming.

- Where? - There.

- Where have you been? - At the engineer's.

What are you doing?

Well, after it didn't work out yesterday

I thought I'd try to find something.

I saw how disappointed you were.

What's wrong?

Nothing. I'm tired, that's all.

Eros: hot guy seeks couple.

Video and photos no problem.

Hello, Leo.

Hello, Alex. There's no end to this work.

A stab wound to the left side

with abrasions caused by the screwdriver handle.

Great force must have been used.

Very little livor mortis. He bled to death.

- Morning, Alex. - Hello.

The stab wound goes upwards from right to left.

The livor mortis also indicates that the killer sat next to him.

He's Stefan Haller. Here are his papers.

- Have we anything on him? - Kunz checked...

Reluctantly. He'd rather surf the Net.

He had a thing for tigers.

Bachmann had a chat pal called Tiger, didn't he?

Right...

Haller was also into sex on the lnternet.

- Get Kunz onto it? - Yes.

Haller and Bachmann were in the same newsgroup.

Perhaps they knew each other.

The cases could be connected.

I keep seeing the ad from that guy, Eros,

the one who doesn't mind being filmed.

Who knows what he looks like?

What's wrong with you?

I want to make you happy.

We could meet him beforehand.

We've got a reply.

TwoForYou...

I'll try to get them online.

Have you had experience with couples?

Yes.

Is it all right if we make a video?

Can we make a video?

Sure.

Hello, Alex.

Hello.

We've got a new couple. Whose turn is it?

- Can we meet today? - Okay, I'll do it.

- That must be him. - He's cute.

I'll drive past again.

- Are you coming? - I'm not sure.

You're usually the one who's keen.

Fancy him, do you?

I'm doing it for you, okay?

Come on, then.

- Hello. - Hello. We're TwoForYou.

Hi. I'm glad you came. Have a seat.

Here we are.

- Are you married? - No. I live alone.

We've had wives turn up

who were supposed to have gone away.

They didn't like what their husbands were up to.

That's understandable.

You two don't have such problems, do you?

What makes you say that?

I've had experiences of my own.

You needn't worry.

Good.

Is it settled then?

Are you free tomorrow night?

All right. We'll come to your place.

Klaus and Tina Kainz, both architects.

- Anything on them? - No.

He had a bad motorcycle accident a few years ago.

Do they fit the profile?

I don't know.

I have a feeling it's them.

But we can only convict if something happens.

I've checked the others. There's nothing suspicious.

Do you want us to stand by tonight?

No. I don't want them to suspect anything.

Rex and I can manage, can't we?

Don't bother me with that crap.

Okay, I'm going.

Your husband's not too happy today.

Are you sure you want to meet him?

I hope he doesn't make stupid remarks.

Will you control yourself tonight?

Don't worry. Nothing will happen.

There.

Rex, we must be prepared for several scenarios.

Go and hide in the shed.

When I call, come as fast as possible.

I'll leave the hall window open, okay?

Rex!

Very good, Rex.

Okay...

We may have to trail someone.

Let's practise. Stay under cover.

Very good, Rex.

Let's see how it goes.

Hi. Come in. It's not locked.

Come on. I thought you liked him.

- Hello. - Hi.

- Nice area. - Yes, no nosy neighbours.

Come in.

- Sit down. Care for a drink? - Please. Whisky's fine.

Nothing for me, thanks.

What do you do for a living?

- Are we here for small talk? - Sure. You're right.

Where's the bathroom? I want to freshen up.

Left, then right.

- Here. - I'll just set the camera up.

I bet you've got a stack of videos.

Yes, and I enjoy watching them.

Join her in the bathroom. I'll come and film you.

Good idea.

Excuse me.

Is everything okay?

I'm just a little nervous.

Why?

I can't tell you.

Maybe you ought to. Don't spoil our night.

I don't know... Maybe we shouldn't do this.

Thanks.

You're going to have to explain.

I can't do it.

What?

What can't you do?

I'm scared he'll lose it again.

Why do you do threesomes? It's bound to provoke him.

He had a motorcycle accident years ago

and was badly injured.

Since then he only gets off on this sort of sex,

if you know what I mean.

Please don't say anything to him

or he'll go completely berserk.

He'll lose control, and then...

- Tell me about Bachmann. - What do you mean?

Who are you?

I'm a police officer.

Get away.

Go away.

- I've told you about Bachmann. - And Haller?

- Who's he? - Bachmann's chat pal.

His nickname was Tiger.

He's been murdered. Probably by your husband.

Klaus?

Send a patrol car.

Damn!

Go away!

Don't move. Hands up.

Well, Mr Kainz. Sorry to ruin your evening.

No matter what my wife said, you have no proof.

I wouldn't be too sure.

I've no idea how you did that.

In any case it was brilliant. Well done.

You can't always erase the first few frames of a tape.

It's the result of the gap

between the record head and the erase head.

You shouldn't have thrown the tape away.

That's what intrigued Rex. Isn't that right?
