No mercy, they drove the condemned

here in the forest of the dead lakes.

The old church records say that hardly a delinquent

ever survived the "Stumpengang".

Do you see, do you see these signs?

Along these symbols the clumber had to walk through the forest.

Manuela's essay on today Tracks, remember? Manuela?

Signposts taken in the rock or things,

hanging from the trees showing the way.

It's supposed to be metal stars or something.

Most of it is lost today.

But this, see?

This is forever.

We're right on the lake now.

whoever made it this far made it this far

he might even have survived.

There was no jurisprudence like today.

There were also no ghosts or dead souls.

But there was the ambush.

The blood thirst.

The Last Sign.

And the lake.

The redemption.

There are still people today who are afraid of walking on the stump

and never go alone in this "forest that wants blood".

But as you can see and better know, this is completely silly.

Where's Manuela?

What's going on here? Are you moving out?

I'm drawing a line. Almost everything is going away.

Aha.

What about that, does that go away too? Hmm?

I had Luna yesterday, is in the car.

Family trip to the crime scene, huh?

No, to the edge of the forest.

My father-in-law takes over and drives her to school.

Breakfast. Mmm.

Why do you want to give that up, Zeiler? Hmm?

Because of your father, right?

The dead man in the forest?

Was slain.

It's quite a bloody affair, says my colleagues.

Please.

(police officer) Do you remember? - (girl) Yes...

(man) I'll take him home for now.

(girl) I was talked to her.

And you often walk through the woods at night. Yes?

Look, cell phones, internet movies,

everything in small bites available at all times.

How can I compete with complex history?

With trips through the woods at night? That too.

Everything that transports history is allowed.

Do you know the area? Yes.

You were dying to take this route.

Because it's historically correct. Aha.

You also say you know the dead man . Sebastian Weidinger?

Nature lovers and foresters just meet in the forest.

His son Lukas is in one of my classes.

But he's not there today?

During puberty boys have different priorities.

Oh I see. So is he skipping?

I'd rather call it a creative break.

I'm watching this.

This has never gone wrong .

Thank you, Dr. Hartl.

Here's your backpack. See you this weekend.

Yes. By the way, honey.

(Karsten) Tomorrow.

Take care, yeah? Mmm.

Hello. - Come on

Bye Dad. Bye. Oh wait!

Yes, get in the car.

We went to the zoo over the weekend. Nice.

Luna loves animals, Micha.

Yes, but that isn't that new either, Karsten.

And that she doesn't want to eat any more, but she doesn't either.

There's cheese too.

Micha, for four weeks there's food at school.

Do we know what that is yet? Cheme, says the teacher.

As torture? Or sex toys?

The purpose is probably not being able to defend yourself any longer.

Yes, that worked too.

The first hit hits the car. There's a lot of blood.

Colleagues think he's walking into the woods, then back to the car.

Alone? Or already accompanied by his killer?

I don't know. And then it starts at the car.

He's running away, trying to save himself.

But only make it this far.

By then he was badly injured.

Each additional hit was fatal.

There was a lot of anger involved.

mmm

The murder weapon?

An ax, probably.

"The ax in the forest", well that fits.

There's an ax missing from the mount in his car.

So far we haven't found any.

Do you already have about a crime?

Yesterday. Around midnight I'm guessing.

Yes, longer than one night

no corpse remains without bite marks. Right.

It was a full moon last night. Ritual killers like this.

What's that man doing in the woods? He's a forester.

The real question is, why nobody misses him.

Because Sebastian and I live separately.

That's not why I missed him. We're getting divorced.

You have to ask his newcomers.

Alright, let's do it. Surname?

Natascha Schwärzler.

He preferred to live with her now.

Oh god. Then that was... Then I saw your father lying there.

Right. When her husband disappeared

she was at a construction fair in northern Germany.

It sure was. What if the story is true?

And Noah Schwärzler reached the till.

Then he made many enemies.

If so, then he robbed the bank, not the customers.
