We are like lambs playing in the meadow,

while the butcher is already selecting one thing or another with his eyes.

Because we don't knowin our good days,

what disaster fate is preparing for us.

These words of the great Schopenhauer remind us of a virtue,

that we humans sometimes lose:

Humility before what awaits us.

Time for your medicine, Professor!

I've been waiting for it.

I've been waiting for it.

Mom, do I have to go to the stupid funeral?

I didn't know him!

And if you had known him, what would you do to remember him?

Samma funny? And drink on duty?

I'm not on duty.

I'm going to the funeral - like every decent person in the village.

Amen! Mom, come!

Don't drive, otherwise we'll take away your license.

You're not on duty!

If you drive, then yes.

What did I do to deserve you?

Don't make a face! You're already like your father!

For once we'll get by without you at football.

Hi Papa!

Greetings! Say hello to grandma!

Greetings, Maria!

Greetings!

Greetings, Sabine! How are you?

Are you crazy? You can't take the Buam with you to the funeral!

Your mother is taking you too!

Greetings!

Good bye!

Greetings everyone!

Hello, Mr. Mayor!

Why is he so gracious? The corpse doesn't run away from him anyway.

Aaaah!

Heinrich!

Heinrich?

Heinrich Caspar had humility before the gift of life.

And we who remain behind will never forget it.

After retiring as a world-renowned heart surgeon,

he was still on matters of the heart.

As medical director of the geriatric clinic "New Age"

I have often benefited from his endless knowledge.

My patients with me.

He dedicated his life to fighting the disease.

Without any consideration for your own health!

He has won this battlefor many patients.

But he himself lost it.

No wonder the gave up the ghost.

It looks so healthy that it makes you sick.

Relax! The bird food is according to the widow's wishes.

Now I understand what that means: biting the dust.

A funeral feast is a G'selchtes, a Brat'l, dumplings and a beer.

This is organic waste.

The train passengers have no feeling for anything!

When it came to looking after the elderly, the professor also messed us up.

We know ourselves what our elders want.

Yes, drinking coffee and schnapps. That's also a bit deadly.

That's deadly!

I don't believe he died a natural death.

Don't complain, the dead should be honored!

We don't say anything against the dead anyway.

But there's something wrong with the professor's departure.

We say whatever you think.

What am I thinking? - If you don't know, I'll tell you:

You think to yourself that something isn't clean,

when someone has a heart attack.

In the middle of blooming life!

Ah ok?

It has never bloomed like this.

No wonder, with that woman's ice block!

But she thawed out when she was out of the house!

Ah ok? - Don't you know that? What kind of innkeeper are you?

Put two and two together!

Four! And?

The thing is clear: She has a younger lover.

And now that the professor is gone, she has a lot of money!

Sabine, you are on the verge of defamation - legally!

How come? You're not on duty.

I mean well.

Now our mayor has to make an effort!

How come?

So that she can lock the retirement home ned.

A rich widow never likes to annoy her with work. Right, Julie?

Or he's already been the train driver on the siding.

There's no more steam in the boiler.

How do you know that?

The fact is:

Two and two is four!

"If you don't stop the cardboard immediately, you'll be in trouble!"

Cardboard? That's called cardboard.Pappe only writes a train journey.

Exactly! - So we know where this comes from.

We are on the verge of slander? The letter is a threat!

I'm filing a report.

So that the grain eater knows who she's dealing with.

It's tactically unwise for her to know what we have on our hands.

Do you watch too much TV?

The professor underestimates us, and that is our advantage!

What do you want to do now?

Research.

At the university, Heinrich's work serves a good cause.

It just gathers dust here.

If you need help organizing...

Thanks, I'll be fine.

Maybe I'll go away for a while,when everything's done.

I need some distance to forget all this.

Don't take the village gossip to heart, Henriette.

What do the people here have against us? We are really committed!

Pointless! Just rejection everywhere. I think they hate us.

No, the people here are just... very simple.

How does this person come to the conclusion that Heinrich did not die of natural causes...

Stupid rumors quickly spread in the countryside.

I found it and examined it. It was a severe heart attack.

Everything is incredibly sad for you, but maybe this is a consolation:

He died doing what was most important to him.

Drink up, I want to lock up.

Bring me another schnapps!

You belong home in bed!

What am I doing there?! I can never hear her blaring all the time.

Who? The Pia?

Forget it.

Are you having problems?

Do you know what I understand about you women?

Why do you like assholes?

You like the guys who take advantage of you!

But those who stick with you will be screwed!

Don't step in! That's nonsense.

What do you know? Nothing at all!

But I know what kind of 'clean' Professor was.

Do you know what's the worst?

That my old lady, the stupid cow, also bawls after the asshole!

Because they ...

.. really had a deep crush on the old idiot!

This is the peak!

Nobody turns his head anymore.

But that doesn't help me.

Pia still wants a divorce. She already has an apartment.

Do you know what she said?

"We can stay friends."

That's what she says to her husband! You women are the last!

Complete?

Yes.

Can I sleep with you today?

Naa.

You women are all the same.

Aha.

Uh!

With the Pia?

Very interesting!

The grain eater was jealous. That's the motive.

Murder out of jealousy. Classic.

You say you're visiting your godfather. The ...

Schössbender Severin. Isn't he in the home?

Yes, but he's somehow... - and I haven't seen him in ages.

That's why you visit him! Do some research on the side.

What am I researching?

Details! Evidence!

Circumstantial evidence is something else.

Then just details. Don't come back without proof!

Oh dear! Miss Marple and her sisters. What are you cooking?

Nothing at all.

They picked up garbage bags.

Don't bother me!

When will local council elections be held again?

Sooner than he thinks.

I want peace in the community. You're scaring people unnecessarily.

You're looking for a murderer where there isn't one.

Wait!

*phone*

And if he's right?

Then I need a good lawyer.

I'm sorry, but I can't talk about it.

Thanks!

How come?

Is it too dark for you? Should I turn on the light?

Everything bugged!

What are you doing?

They wanted to contaminate my mattress. With plutonium!

Who?

The White League.

Uncle Severin...

Can I trust you, Sabine?

The White League! What are you talking about?

They want my heart. This isan international organization.

Get on the lid!

What?

Look out the window!

With the glass!

And?

The third window from the left.

That was Professor Caspar's office. That's where it happened.

What?

He died in the red chair after she gave him the poison.

Who?

Well, the agent!

First she fed him - like a horse with sugar cubes.

Then she sat on him and waited until he died.

She's there up and down! Until the poison has taken effect.

Uncle Severin, you helped me a lot!

But you have to help me! I'm next on the list.

*knock*

They are coming!

(Woman outside:) Mr. Schösswender!

Don't open it!

I'll sort this out.

Sabi, what are you doing?

Visit my uncle. How come?

What you have with the water!

Up and down!

He turns on all the taps and sits next to them for hours.

I'm surprised, because you never come here otherwise.

Is there a special reason?

No.

It sounds brutal, but your unclebelongs in a closed institution.

Possible, but sometimes he still notices something.

What do you mean?

I heard you're moving out?

Who did you hear that from?

I just heard it.

Please not again!

The lamp works perfectly!

That's it.

Leave the lamp before you drop the bulb again!

I can never stand it!

Something is wrong here. 200,000 euros have been debited here.

Can I?

Wait a minute, Professor. We'll take a look right away.

There we have it!

That is correct. Your husbanddid this two weeks ago.

A cash withdrawal of over 200,000 euros.

Is something wrong?

No no. Thanks.

Gladly.

That's not good for the cross.

That you do this to yourself! You can buy the cucumbers in the supermarket.

Anyone who buys their cucumbers in the supermarket has no backbone.

And? - There is no murderer. There is only one beautiful death.

Do you keep talking or should we guess?

Guess!

Talk!

The White League is behind it.

The uncle is no longer in his head, but he can still see well.

What did he see?

Are you doing the gardening? Why don't you buy the cucumbers in the supermarket?

What did Severin see?

They chatted, Pia and her dear Caspar.

After a Viagra feeding! And when it's most beautiful...

.. then you have to go.

I only understand train station.

Just as his locomotive drove into the tunnel, it became dark.

You mean ...?

As soon as he came, he was gone.

There is no trace of murder.

And the threatening letter?

Probably someone you're getting on your nerves with.

There's enough there.

Our village of Ilm must not become Chicago. I'm not taking part!

Do you want to go into politics now?

Well, I'm going on the offensive.

I don't like to say it, but I think we're doing the grain eater an injustice.

All along!

Hello, Professor!

Good day.

We brought carrot cake.

With wholemeal flour.

And an apple-ginger juice.

I'm really happy about that!

It's something different.

The buffet is open!

"It alternates pain and pleasure."

"Enjoy when you can, and suffer when you must!"

Professor, who is that from? You definitely have that ready.

Friedrich von Goethe!

Friedrich von Goethe?

You will know him!

Here we only know Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

You can poison old people in Germany with your seal killers.

But not with us!

Don't take it too far!

I didn't drive anyone to their death!

Julie, leave it alone!

Are you also on the wrong side of the law?

Your allegations are absurd!

If anyone here is driving people to their deaths, it's you!

Now I'm the murderer?!

Who gives people vasoconstrictors and cirrhosis accelerators?

What does she say?

She means your liquor.

My liquor hasn't killed anyone yet.

My family has lived in this valley for 400 years!

And traveling by train doesn't spoil my pine schnapps!

A healthy body and a healthymind are the prerequisites

for the joy of growing old! My husband led by example!

And sister Pia's laundry! That's why he had to die.

Julie!

So, are you having fun?

There's a hundred cardiacum missing.

Nobody gets that from us.

Funny.

Please drive carefully! The boy sits in the back. You'll be back at six.

Yes, yes. You, mom!

How much?

Gas, cinema tickets, a bit of food. 300 euros?

300?

The new rear spoiler is also included.

50. You can carve the rear spoiler.

Thanks! - Have fun!

Baba!

Pfiat di!

He'll never grow up.

Everything has advantages and disadvantages.

That's how I feel, I'll stay young forever.

Still water, please!

So without carbon dioxide.

So this is the legendary sports cafe.

And is the rumor mill over there? The only thing missing is dear Ms. Zirbner!

Did you have anything you needed from her?

You probably also know about my husband and sister Pia.

You can't do it all like that...

What? Take it personally?

Don't I have a right to know the truth about the circumstances of his death?

Yes, just... - What?

It's a bit...

Hearty!

I've been used to hearty foods since I've lived here.

You start!

You were there!

I wasn't there!

My uncle was there.

Your uncle?

Yesterday I hung 2 kilos of belly meat here, today it's gone!

Greetings!

Good bye!

I'm no different. I have such a problem in my medicine cabinet!

There's a heart medicine missing that no one takes!

Nobody gets one from us - except the professor. God bless him!

And it wasn't anyone, right? 12 euros 80!

There never was one. - How much?

12.80. I'll give you something for the cats.

We had to drown them. No one wants the poor creatures.

So poor!

Pfiat di!

And what do you get, pine farmer?

Nothing. You don't have any belly meat.

I have a nice chicken breast.

Well, you already had these at school.

The poor sinner! Would you like to ask for forgiveness?

You're not the Pope.

There would be news.

Can you finally tell me where we're going?

Always straight ahead.

How long have you had this can of food?

Ever since the Schantingers got my driver's license.

You never had one!

Only the first 20 years. Then I got the license in the winter.

Then they'll take it away from me because of the ridiculous 1.3 per mille!

You have a new Mercedes and you can drive with a garbage can!

Can't Paulmichl do anything?

Should I laugh now or what?

Did your doctor prescribe it for your intervertebral discs?

Over there on the left!

There is the villa of the grain eater!

True. It makes a super herbal tea.

What?

* The brakes squeak. *

That's the news? I'm not going to the house! Never ever!

Too bad. Now she has to tell everything to me and Sabine.

Take a seat!

Ms. Zirbner, I wanted to thank you.

For what?

For your tactless openness.

You opened my eyes to my dashing Heinrich.

Nevertheless, there are still a few inconsistencies.

Shortly before his death, the professor withdrew 200,000 euros from the account.

And Pia bought her own apartment.

Put two and two together!

The Pia!

She wrote the threatening letter.

Exactly! And do you know what happened at the butcher's?

Let me guess! No pork belly?

Correct!

And in the old people's home, a heart medication has disappeared.

That's what the head nurse said.

Put two and two and two together! How much is that?

Sex?

A crime out of lust and passion?

The crazy uncle from Sabi...

She knows.

Severin saw Pia giving her husband a pill.

And then... - I know!

Aha. Then... my condolences.

Moment! So that means that...

.. that Pia gave the professor something that he couldn't tolerate.

Why would she have done that?

Yes, why is she writing a threatening letter?

Maybe he wants to take the 200,000 away from her again.

This is all just circumstantial evidence, we need proof!

My words.

Let's all pull together now. All four?

Then now would be the right moment for an apology.

Come on, Julie.

How come? Did I slip something up? - Julie!

Okay, so...that was a miscarriage of justice.

Uh... what?

Human error.

A slip. Heavenly Lord Sacrament!

I have never apologized to anyone in my life!

'sorry.

We both didn't have a good start.

Let’s get started now!

Cheers! - Cheers!

Johnny, I need help!

You come to me of all people?!

I know it's not easy for youwith me.

I probably made a huge mistake.

But you have to help me!

I'm so scared...please!

Don't let me down!

I won't let you down, I'm far too stupid for that.

Stefan, I just want to be sure.

I ask you to look into the matter.

I'll be back soon.

Only takes a minute.

What is? What do you want from me?

I checked everything.

Ms. Zirbner, not a single medication is missing.

Are you sure, Stefan? - I would know that straight away

if something was wrong.

Is there anything else I can do for you?

I don't like it. I misheard me!

Is Knapp Elsbeth in the house?

Julie, please tell us what you're up to!

I just need my cucumbers. - For what now please?

For the head nurse.

Ms. Zirbner, leave it alone!

We've gotten ourselves into something.

First: I am Julie.

Second: You have no idea how I can get into it.

Doesn't she already have that? - Up until now she was as usual.

They grow on me like mushrooms after a reactor accident.

I thought... - Thanks, Julie.

Take her to the kitchen now!

Make a face mask for your seniors!

Why are they all in plastic, like in the supermarket?

I do this to keep them fresh.

I have a machine like that. From space technology.

Ah, go?!

Good, Elsbeth.

You probably still have a lot of work to do.

Did you get your chaos back in order?

What do you mean?

Yesterday you said that you were missing heart medication...

Cardiacum forte.

Exactly! - I have to look through it again.

The lime is already trickling down on me. - Cucumbers, that's it!

The best against calcification! Greetings!

Pfiat di!

What is it?

I have nothing at all...

Help!

Hey!

Does the name Kardiakum forte mean anything to you?

First: We are on a first name basis.

Second: It is a heart medicine.

Probably a strong one, because forte. - Can YOU find out how this works?

I just have to look in the dictionary.

Sabine! What's wrong?

There was something funny with my unclein the park.

The head nurse wanted to give you a cucumbers.

Well, the Holzer Johnny threatened my uncle.

Threatened?! - Yes, he grabbed him by the collar.

As he saw, the Holzer is gone.

The uncle was totally scared.

Maybe Holzer isn't so bad with Pia.

I have to go to Rocco!

Watch out for you!

What's wrong with me? - Briefing!

What if this comes out?!

Don't go crazy, Pia! - If I stay there, I'll go crazy!

I have to go!

That's a glass too little.

Sabi isn't coming.

Can't find a babysitter.

Why can't the clans find a clever man?

Because there is a possibility.

Or do you know one?

At least not a local one. - But we only have local ones.

The only one who has a bit of format is Doctor Auinger.

I might like that one. - Look here!

Julie! - I would catch that one.

I don't even know you like that.

And then what did you do with him?

I would eat him. Eat.

Good evening, Professor! - Good evening...

.. solved with file number XY.

Aha!

What did you find out?

Kardiakum forte is an extremely heart-strengthening agent.

But Heinrich needed the opposite.

Someone deliberately gave him the wrong thing.

Well combined!

Heinrich could only use Viagra...ONLY with Viagra.

And Pia knew that.

Yes, who else if not Pia?

Me - for example.

But I didn't kill him.

The tablet that Pia fed to the professor,

Viagra was prepared with the...

.. Cardiacum forte.

An absolutely deadly mixture for Heinrich!

Such a shameful bitch!

He probably didn't suffer much.

And? What do you do now?

We have to dig up the professor again and examine him.

What? We? - No...

No, the coroners do that!

They'll find traces of the heart drug.

Yes, it's me.

Maria, something funny is going on.

Pia and John are currently packing their suitcases into the car.

You, they're running away!

What do we do now?

Yes, good.

I'll call the Schantinger straight away

Stephen! Please excuse the late interruption.

I still have a big request for you.

Aha.

Have you thought this through carefully?

An exhumation is always associated with inconveniences.

I know his death is a big shock for you, but...

Of course.

If that is your wish, Henriette.

I will inform my colleagues from pathology.

First thing tomorrow morning.

Good night, Henriette.

*Police Siren*

You should have a good reasonwhen you get me out of bed!

I found letters in Heinrich's documents.

Twenty year old letters. - Love letters from another!

That's why you wake me up!

Nothing like that!

The letters say that he was a thief.

He based his career on intellectual theft.

How do you do something like that?

He worked closely with heart specialists twenty years ago.

It was about a new surgical technique.

Please, sit there.

You have absolutely nothing in your hands against us!

You can't just drag us along!

There are serioussuspicions,

which make it appear necessary to carry out a survey.

Oh right?! - Please!

And what suspicions?

The status of the investigation does not allow me to...

.. to provide more information about it.

An assistant made groundbreaking discoveries for this new technology.

Heinrich wanted the laurels for himself.

He intrigued the young assistant out of the team

and published the research results under his name!

It's all in there!

*honk*

The letters are from the assistant?

*Honk*Yes.

Why did your husband keep them? - There on the right.

There are massive threats in there.

Heinrich may have been afraid of blackmail.

I can imagine that. - That was his reassurance.

But nothing happened.

No attempts at blackmail.

We were in America for a few years.

Grass has probably grown over the matter.

But then Heinrich met this assistant again.

And who is he? *Phone*

"Henriette Caspar. Pleaseleave a message."

Hello Henriette.

It's me. Stephen.

I wanted to tell youhow much I respect you.

You have nothing to do with the story between me and Heinrich.

But you shouldknow the truth.

The truth is: Ibuilt this clinic

and led it for eight years.

Then he came. After three months it was just the “Dr. Caspar Clinic”.

Just like back then...twenty years ago.

Ms. Holzer, it is better for you if you cooperate with the authorities!

For one simple reason: If you don't cooperate,...

.. then that's not good.

You don't say anything now, Pia. Paulmichl finally get to the point!

It's good that you're here because...

We are at a delicate point in the survey.

We know what's going on!

Professor, I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!

I didn't want that to happen.

But I have him on my conscience.

I killed him. -Pia!

This is a full confession.

They were all witnesses...

Your confession can smear your hair!

You overused it a bit.

But you didn't kill him.

No one will be imprisoned for adultery anymore, except perhaps at home.

And who was it then?

You have to poke your nose at everything!

Are you sureI'm arresting the right guy?!

One hundred percent, young man!

I immediately thought that there was something wrong with Auinger!

I thought you would love to eat it!

That's what you said? - I didn't!

When was that please?

Three hours ago!

You have to prove that to me first.

Is this definitely the right one? *shot*

The extra dumplings, please!

Ah, wonderful!

Everything else is fine?

At least this time there's a decent meal!

Sorry.

Memorial plaques have already been given to completely different murderers.

I'll never forget how he sits there...

He shot himself in the chair where the professor died.

I understand somehow.

Such suicide has advantages.

You know in the second who is the victim and who is the perpetrator.

I don't believe it was suicide.
