INSPECTOR REX

RAYS OF REVENGE

The long version of this song
sucks.

Stop it, Michou.
Don't start all that again.

My CD is out. It's number one.
So why all this?

This will be the disco version.

We have to do it.

I've had it!

I'm going home.
Coming?

No.

- I want to finish the mix.
- So you're not coming.

We have a contract
and a deadline.

We have to continue.

This is about
what matters to you.

Me, or the bloody contract.

Michou, please!

It's okay.

Bye.

- Not you again.
- Can we talk this over?

There's nothing to talk about.
Stop stalking me. It's over.

Can't you put your career aside
and listen to me for once?

What about my career?

You can't tell me that you're
in love with that songwriter!

Cut it out!

Let me go!
Don't touch me.

- This will be my last one.
- Not for me.

Sure.

Miss No. 1 has been
driving me mad.

But you're making a lot of dough
with her.

She makes most of it.

Maybe that's the problem.

That, and all the fuss
around her.

Could be worse.

And again, number one
on our hit parade is Michou...

By now, we'd have devoured
two ham rolls each.

Correct.

So what happened?

I was bringing four a day,
but since no one asked...

You ate them.

Well, in part.
Rex helped me.

So what about today?

Hold on.

According to tradition,
we have to hide Rex's bun.

- He knows the hiding places.
- We'll find a new one.

Come with me.

Come on!

- We'll file it.
- Good idea.

Not under "D".
He'd find it right away.

- Under "Z", then.
- Yes. Great.

- I'm sure he won't find it.
- No way.

Here.

Ready?

Hey, Rex.
Find the ham roll.

- Come on, Rex.
- Find the ham roll.

Find the ham roll.
Come on, Rex.

Where's the ham roll, Rex?
Go and find it.

Excuse me...

I don't think he's hungry
any more.

The fire brigade rang us
because the doors were jammed.

Something to do with the locks.

And no one knows
why the tank exploded.

It appears that the victim
tried to get out of the car.

The victim has 4th-degree burns

and an epidural haemotoma
on the right side.

I can't tell you any more
at this point.

Hi, Alex.

The neighbour heard
the explosion.

When she got to the window,
the car was in flames.

- Do we know who the victim is?
- The car owner is Michou Lang.

The Michou Lang?

The one that's top of the charts?

Hi, Tania.

Hey, Marko.
When did you get back?

A few days ago.
Shall we have a drink?

Michou is dead.

What?

A guy just heard it on the radio.

She was burned in her car.

It must have been
an awful accident.

Two vodkas, Mimi.

There aren't any details yet.

Serves her right!

She and her mob
are all a bunch of pigs...

They ruined me!

I know how you feel.

- And you?
- Me?

They did the same to you.

Good morning.

Well? Found anything?

No sign of any explosives
or accelerants.

So what made
the tank explode?

It's hard to say,
but we did find something.

We found this part
of the exploded tank.

It shows a tiny hole,
not visible to the naked eye...

but look here.

We took these photos
under the electronic microscope.

You'll see the hole.

I suspect it was subjected
to extreme heat.

It isn't a soldered joint.

- So what is it?
- No idea. It's a first for us.

We can't give you any details
about the Michou Lang case.

A press release
will be issued in due course.

Sorry, we have
no further details.

I'm going crazy!

Please don't put through
any more calls from journalists.

There's no news!

If you yell any louder,
we won't need to use the phone.

Sorry, Alex.
The press is driving me nuts.

- Anything new?
- We've found out a few things.

Someone should see
her songwriter.

She was living with him.

His name is Daniel Traun.
I have his address.

I'm awfully sorry.

I'll come around there.

Hi. I'm from Homicide.
My name is Brandtner...

I think I know why you're here.

It's awful.

Yes. I'm looking for a Mr Traun.
Where might I find him?

In the small office next door.
He's in a bad way.

So am l, but...

I have to carry on.
The CD must get done.

Mr Traun?

Mr Traun?

- Yes.
- My name is Brandtner.

I'm from the police.
I need to ask some questions.

Do you know what happened
to Michou's car?

Not yet.
I was hoping you could help.

I heard it on the radio.

I went to the police.

They couldn't tell me anything.
They said it was an accident.

Yes.

It may not have been
an accident.

Did Michou have a quarrel
or problems with anyone?

Not really.

An ex appeared now and then,
wanting her back.

They had quarrels.

- Do you know his name?
- Yes. Patrick Jobst.

He lives in the third district.

Do you know where Mr Traun
was about 1 a.m. Iast night?

Here. We had drinks
till about 2.30 a.m.

Thanks. That's all.

Rex! Get away from there!

Sorry. If he thinks someone's
in danger, he's unstoppable.

I'm Brandtner. Homicide.
I'm looking for Mr Jobst.

- That's me.
- Great.

I assume you know

your ex-girlfriend died
in a dubious accident last night.

Yes, I heard.

I wanted to cancel the training
but I couldn't.

Any idea how it happened?

The radio said she died
in her burning car.

- We'd need to check the car.
- We're doing that now.

Where were you last night
about eight?

- I was on duty.
- You must have been alerted.

There was an announcement
but I didn't catch where.

Anyway, it wasn't our precinct.

Can your colleagues
verify your alibi?

- Of course.
- Manfred!

- Excuse me.
- Just one more question.

Do you know if Michou
had any fights lately?

The songwriter she's with
is a very jealous man.

- Especially of me.
- Police intervention required!

It's made the front page
everywhere.

"A star burns out.
Unforgettable Michou is dead."

It says here she had a fight
with a guy just before she died.

"Who is the man in the dark?"

That's me.

I assume you'll be able
to tell us a few things.

Please sit down.

I'll tell you
what really happened.

I snuck out to try and convince
Michou to come back to me.

She turned me down
and I was on my way back.

Then I ran into a guy
who sells roses around the place.

I bought a bunch
and drove to Michou's.

I wanted to speak to her
one more time.

I still love her.

So you saw her?

Yes.

I watched the firemen
lift her out of her car, dead.

- Why didn't you go to her?
- I saw that I couldn't help.

Then I realised I shouldn't
be there at all. I was on duty.

If one of my colleagues saw me,
I'd lose my job.

Why did your colleague tell me
you were on duty all night?

I asked him to.

That's why I'm here.

If this comes to light,
he and I are out of a job.

You wouldn't have come if
this photo hadn't been published.

The photographer
could have identified you.

I know that.

What would you have done?

You've convinced your friend
to give false evidence

and we can't verify your story.

Okay... we'll check it out,
but you have to stay here.

- Where did you buy the roses?
- On the Linke Wienzeile.

Good morning. Kunz, Homicide.
I need some information.

- I know nothing.
- You don't know my question.

- I don't want to, either.
- Open a window.

There isn't one.

Which of your rose vendors

was on the Linke Wienzeile
last night?

Why ask me?

Everyone knows you control
the rose trade there.

Well?

- I'm going.
- Who do you think you are?

The one who has to ask who sold
roses on the Linke Wienzeile.

Who worked the Linke Wienzeile
last night?

- The new guy. That big bloke.
- One of the migrants?

In that case,
no one sold roses there, right?

- Well? Who was it?
- No one.

- What do you mean?
- Must have been a moonlighter.

It wasn't any of our boys.

Look what I've got.
I found them in the garbage.

Just like Jobst said.

He could have
bought them anywhere.

I couldn't find anyone
to confirm his alibi.

So I did three garbage bins
for nothing.

- You smell like one too.
- And you reek of cigars.

At least they were expensive.

Even Rex can't stand your smell.

It's him!

All in the line of duty.

Thanks, Rex.

Anything on Michou's
former singing partner?

Only that Michou edged her out.

We haven't found her yet,
but we do have a lead.

Are you guys lost?

The optometrist is next door.

Ecko! Turn it down.

What can I do for you?
We don't stock waltzes.

It's about Michou Lang.

Cool.

- What's "cool"?
- Not you, that's for sure.

It's cool to get to be
top of the charts

and then to make a big exit.

If you say so.

It's about Tania Steiner.
She sang with Michou.

They had a fight.
She used to work here.

A long time ago.
She's gone down in the charts.

- Do you know where she lives?
- Probably under some bridge.

Michou was no good.

Is that in reference
to the songwriter, Daniel Traun?

That was just like her.

She took up with Daniel
to boost her career

and just dumped her boyfriend.

Do you think
he wanted revenge?

Her ex? He's a softy.

You'd have a motive too.

I'm not a fighter.
Can't you see that?

My colleagues checked out
your alibi. It stands up.

Is there anyone else who'd
have a bone to pick with her?

The biggest con
was over that hit song.

What about it?

Her songwriter didn't do it.
He stole it.

- That often happens.
- Not in such a dirty way.

Especially
now it's gone to the top.

- Who was the song stolen from?
- Marko.

Marko who?

Marko Kolb.

He composed it, wrote it down
and gave it to Michou.

She and her songwriter
then claimed it.

Was this Marko in your band?

No.

He did the laser show
for our performances.

There. Your hunch
was absolutely correct.

If you examine these holes
under an electronic microscope

you'll see they are identical
to those in the tank.

It proves that a laser beam
hit the petrol tank,

causing it to explode.

Yes, but no one could go around
carrying such machinery.

There is smaller equipment
on the market now.

Come. I'll show you.

This battery-operated laser
works for eight hours nonstop.

The beam reaches temperatures
of several thousand degrees.

Why didn't I see the beam?

The lasers used in medicine
or in industry are invisible.

If you like, I can show you
the equipment used in discos.

Here.

Look...

You can do this with it too.

- Want to give it a try?
- No, thanks. I don't smoke.

- Wouldn't my office be better?
- This concerns both of you.

Come on, Rex.

No! Now listen.
I'll tell you again.

When you get the tapes,
start on the CDs right away.

Otherwise it's trouble!

Where else can you hear
a dead woman singing?

Yes. Got that?

Okay. See you later.

Hubert.

These gentlemen
want to see you.

Brandtner. Homicide.
Nielssen, our manager.

Good evening.

Have you found out
what happened to Michou?

Partly.
I'm here about something else.

Apparently
Michou stole the song

and you two profited.

That's one of Marko's
stupid rumours.

It isn't true.

Nonetheless,
Marko is a laser expert.

And we know that Michou's car
was hit by a laser beam.

- He's gone mad.
- Have you arrested him?

No, but we're looking for him.

- So he's still on the loose?
- Yes.

I'm not interested in whether
the song was stolen or not.

I've come to warn you
to get police protection.

Thank you.
I'll go to Munich till he's found.

Whatever.
But I'd hurry if I were you.

Bye.

Come on, Rex.

I told you. You should have
paid him something for it.

He rang a few times
but I wouldn't give in.

Listen. He has no proof
that it's his song.

Anyway, how can you be sure
he did write it?

It's your fault
he killed Michou.

Yours too.

It was your idea to say
Michou and I wrote the song.

- You earned a lot of money.
- So did you!

I'm scared.

Why call me for a road accident?
The man died from neck injuries.

- Do you know who it is?
- No. Should l?

It's Daniel Traun, the songwriter
who worked with Michou Lang.

The policeman recognised him
and then called us.

So there's a connection
between the two cases.

Right. Could you check whether
he's been hit by a laser beam?

Okay.

Very good, Rex.

The culprit must have known
this was his usual way home.

Damn!
I forgot to ring Nielssen.

Mr Nielssen? Brandtner.

I'm sorry to inform you

Daniel Traun was killed
in a curious road accident.

What? That's terrible!

Yes,
I'm on my way to the airport.

I just have to drop
into my office.

I'd go directly to the airport.

Goodbye.

Any leads on this Marko Kolb?

Interpol can't even trace him.

It seems he drives a campervan
with an ltalian numberplate.

Music Management Nielssen.

No, Mr Nielssen isn't here yet.
I'm expecting him any moment.

We're all waiting for him.

Do you want to try later
or shall I leave a message?

No, thanks.
I'll try again later.

- There you are.
- I've no time, I'm in a hurry.

Here are the people who rang.

I'll handle just these two.

I ordered in a portable laser.

I'll be able to simulate
exactly what happened.

Now watch this.

Come and look.

The laser penetrated the helmet
without a trace.

The effect on the the doll
is, of course, different.

That's right. The coroner found
only the retina was burned.

It looks like
we've got the vehicle.

Yes.

Good morning.
Is this your vehicle?

We have the driver.
My partner is in pursuit.

I know you were doing your job
and you're sorry.

It doesn't matter
now Michou is dead.

We did manage to stop you
losing your job.

Thanks.

We told your boss you'd never
left work, we'd made a mistake.

Kunz.

What?

Thanks.

Kolb's taken a hostage
in the Ring Street Mall.

This Marko Kolb has a hostage,
a salesgirl from that shop,

and he's hidden in there.

He's threatened to kill anyone
who leaves that shop opposite.

- Has he made any demands?
- He wants a Hubert Nielssen.

We told him
we had to wait for you.

- How do you communicate?
- There's a phone in the shop.

- We don't know if he's armed.
- He uses a laser.

Organise protective gear.

You stay.

Hello?

- Brandtner, task force leader.
- Is Nielssen with you?

No. We won't bring him
as you've already killed twice.

This is about justice.
They cheated me of my success.

A song like that is unique.

Michou and Traun
stole it from me.

Nielssen covered up for them,
so he must now pay.

If you don't get me Nielssen

I'll aim the laser at the mirror
in the shop opposite.

The mirror reflects the beam
but the glass windows don't.

I can reach every image
reflected in the shop's mirror.

You know exactly
what that means.

There's the shop
where Kolb is.

There's only the front entrance.

The hostages are in this shop.
It has change rooms at the back.

There's a walkway
but there's no access.

We must get in.

Well, what now?

If you don't get me Nielssen,

I'll kill a hostage
every ten minutes.

Do you understand?
Tell me. Do you understand?

Calm down. Nielssen's coming.
You'll talk to him soon.

Yes.

I can't reach Nielssen.
He's on a plane to Germany.

Anyway, no one could
force him to come.

Let's have a look
at this walkway.

Please let me go.

Please.

That was my last warning.

Next time it'll be
one of those people.

Now listen!
I'm doing everything I can.

Nielssen won't be long.

Those people in the shop

aren't responsible
for any wrong done to you.

Nielssen is on the other line.
I'll call you back. Yes.

Okay.

Rex, get the people out
but keep low.

Don't lose patience.
Mr Nielssen will do all you ask.

I demand a press release
saying I composed that song.

Okay, I'll organise it.

Then I'll read it to you
to get your okay.

- Okay.
- Careful. Come on out.

Come on.

- Come on.
- Give me your hand.

You did that very well.
Are the others all in front?

Okay.

Come on. Well done!

Thanks.

Don't look towards me.
Don't!

We have a plan.
I'll say "go".

Run out of the door
and turn right.

Okay.
In ten seconds.

Go!

Mr Brandtner!

You screwed me!

I don't believe what you said
about Nielssen either.

Get your car out front.

My hostage here...

is coming with me...

until I'm safe.

Come on, Rex.

Keep him there!

Good boy, Rex!

- Where were you all this time?
- There's a foodstore downstairs.

The police cleared everyone out.

- So who made the rolls up?
- Me.

And who paid for them?

Don't ask.
