Original subtitles

He is still alive. It is Fritz Lindt.

Susanne Gruber and Madeleine\NMeienberger were strangled with this.

It's not mine.

-What did he say about your girlfriends?\N-He almost got to Madeleine's throat.

-Mario said it.\N-Dörig asked suggestively.

Do want Mario to be the murderer?

Death by strangulation.\NAt the window bars, with the shirt.

A confession at last.

I didn't want that.

He deserved it.

THE UNDERTAKER

Just drum your fingers on the ground.

They think it's raining and come out.

-And then roasting?\N-Oh, no. Just like this.

They are delicious.\NLike boiled potatoes.

-What?\N-Earthworms.

Fabio asked me about breakfast\Nin the forest.

But that's nothing\Ncompared to your Bircher muesli.

-Morning.\N-Morning.

-Morning.\N-Take a seat. Do you want coffee?

I would love some.

Did you sleep well?

A bit short.

But there's no coffee\Nin the forest.

There is. Dandelion coffee.\NIt's much healthier.

But grasshoppers are the best.

Fried. A fine and nutty taste.\NLots of protein.

-Are there any scrambled eggs left?\N-Sorry. I used all the eggs.

This would be the perfect moment\Nfor the grasshoppers.

They are grumpy in the mornings\Nand not so fast.

Conrad.

Okay. We're coming.

Enjoy your food.

I am so stuffed.\NI would starve to death in the forest.

Are you nervous?

That's how you lure worms\Nout of the forest ground.

I think Erika is in love.

First, she wants to quit,\Nthen she starts running,

then she buys a treadmill and now\Nshe's in love with a wood gnome.

-What does that tell us?\N-A second spring.

Pensioner panic.

But I think\NWildboar is in love as well.

With her Bircher muesli.

The way to his heart's\Nthrough his stomach.

I have to go.

You just got here.

I have to go to\Nthe police station fast.

-You took the day off.\N-I am coming back soon.

To have lunch together.\NThat's a good idea.

We haven't had time to celebrate yet.

-Änneli, thank you so much.\N-You're welcome.

You'd rather do therapy\Nthan go to jail.

See you later.

Always use\Nthe delivery entrance at hotels.

-Did you learn that in school?\N-Bad for business.

A hotel guest doesn't want\Nto be reminded of death.

Are we hotel owners or undertakers?

We have to think about our customers.

Viktor Kalt. I am the manager.\NWe talked on the phone.

The delivery entrance is back there.

So this is the main entrance?

Then we have to find\Na new parking space. Fabio?

It's okay. We can make an exception.

The deceased is in the suite\Non the first floor. Please.

Everything is arranged. A Japanese.

An older gentleman. Died in his sleep.

Our fiduciary doctor has already\Nfilled out the death certificate.

Conrad, Institute Conrad.

Lara Siegfried.\NThis is Ayumi Shima, the daughter.

Wrong date.\NOr did he die tomorrow?

It was late yesterday.\NOur fiduciary doctor, I...

As long as it's only the date.

He noticed.

The date was wrong. That's all.

"As long it's just the date", he said.\NHe noticed. It's over.

I'm going to the police.\NI'm going to turn myself in.

Ayumi.

Do you want to go to jail?

We just have to bury him,\Nthen everything will be fine.

No. I can't do it. No way.

I can't see him anymore.

Okay. I can go there on my own.

But you will draw suspicion to yourself.

And you have burial rituals.\NI know nothing about them.

-I can't do it.\N-You are Japanese.

I can't do it.

Okay. All right. Maybe we don't\Nhave to know exactly.

Both of the undertakers didn't\Nseem to be very Japanese.

If you'd booked the suite,

you would deserve a departure\Nthrough the lobby.

My great-grandfather was Japanese.

-I would have never guessed.\N-Neither would I.

What brought him to Switzerland?

The question is more what\Nmy grand-grandmother was doing in Japan.

A more interesting question.

Now, only the last little paw\Nand then it's perfect.

Nice, isn't it?

A wild boar's fur in the lobby\Nof a funeral home.

-I don't know.\N-It's not alive anymore.

I don't care.\NThis dirty thing is coming down.

That was quick.

It has to be,\Nbecause of the Kegare.

It's a ritual pollution.

That's why the dead\Nhave to be cremated quickly.

Did you say great-grandfather?

The head has to be adjusted\Ntowards the north.

My assistant has\Na family relationship with Japan.

It can happen.

Sometimes, when repositioning,

there is still some air\Nflowing through the vocal cords.

But are you sure that he can't...\NI mean...

Yes. Mr. Shima is dead. Unfortunately.

We would like a cremation,\Nas soon as possible.

Very well.

But tomorrow at the earliest,\NI suppose.

But we need a notification first,\Nso the oven doesn't get too hot.

The bones mustn't burn.

-We will take care of it.\N-Yes, sure.

I have a look and see\Nwhere Ayumi is. Thanks a lot.

These death rituals\Nare good for a lot of things.

Orientation towards the north.

Your great-grandmother helped us\Nfind a new and interesting case.

Did you think that\Nthe goth had Japanese roots?

-Does Madam Commissioner know about this?\N-No, but...

-And the relatives?\N-Not yet. Have a look at him first.

Why should I?

A Japanese doesn't lie\Non your table every day.

On the inside, they all look the same.

But Japanese eyelids are different.

Especially with blood congestion.

Indeed.

Blood congestion.

Not easy to recognize\Nwith epikanthus medialis.

Shouldn't happen to a doctor.

A fiduciary doctor.

Should we swap?\NA victim...

against a culprit.

Culprit? Are you certain?

I'm certain it's just death\Nand dead he is.

That's why I'm happy\Nthat it wasn't Mario.

It wouldn't have been good\Nfor the image.

Thanks, Reto.

You are just in time.\NWe are drinking to Dörig.

The Gruber case is officially solved?

And the Meienberger case as well.

The culprit's waiting\Nfor you at Semmelweis.

No. Somebody else is waiting there,\Nfor you.

Not to my knowledge.

-I have the day off.\N-Really?

Do you already have plans for lunch?

No.

Welcome to the Limmahof.\NWhat can I do for you?

Dörig, provincial police.

Could you show me the suite in\Nwhich Hitoshi Shima was murdered?

-Murdered?\N-Yes.

Has the room already been cleaned?

I didn't know.\NWe are expecting a new guest soon.

A murder happened in here.\NYou mustn't destroy evidence.

Our fiduciary doctor determined...

Yes. I will talk to him soon.\NWho found the deceased?

His daughter.

So he traveled with his daughter?

No. She lives here.\NShe has a ceramic shop.

-Okay. So he visited her?\N-Among other things.

Mr. Shima is the owner\Nof a Japanese travel agency. Was.

He had our hotel in his selection.

He was our most important partner.\NIt is a huge loss.

So, Mr. Shima traveled on his own.

Accompanied by a lady.

Where was she at the time of crime?

In her room, right next door.

And where is she now?

-Could be Japanese.\N-It is Japanese.

Almost all our customers are Japanese.

Who had access to this suite,\Napart from the people you mentioned?

The maid, the reception and...

And yourself?

Were you in the house\Nat the time of crime?

Look who needs it, this guy.

Erika, the guy belongs in the forest,\Njust like the others.

Sorry.

You don't have\Nto apologize for the truth.

Thanks for everything.

You can't just go like that.

But where do you want to go now?

I'll know that when I get there.

Erika, I have nothing against\NWildboar, quite the contrary.

But the man lived as a hermit\Nfor 40 years.

That is not good\Nfor interpersonal skills.

Look who's talking.

Don't say anything.

Crazy what you're capable of.

He never told me.

Did he tell you anything?

About me?

I have never seen him.

Okay.

With this kimono, the fiber ends\Nmust not be sewn together.

And you're not supposed\Nto cut the fabric with scissors.

-How are you supposed to do it, then?\N-Tearing.

You do know a lot.

Sure, I know how to do it.\NI buried my mother two years ago.

Did he never tell you about it?

You know nothing. You have no idea.

How can you live with somebody\Nfor ten years and know nothing?

11.

11 years.

Have you never loved him?

Here, no stitching was needed,\Njust like with you.

But here, four stitches were needed.

I will handle it.

We're closed today,\Ndue to a bereavement.

I am looking for Ayumi Shima.

She's not here. Can I help you?

Do you maybe have a business card?

-Please, come in.\N-Thanks.

Are you interested\Nin Japanese ceramics?

No, not exactly.

What a shame.

Too many men are not\Ninterested in ceramics.

Excuse me,\NI am with the provincial police.

Reto Dörig. Nice name.

-Is it about Hitoshi?\N-Yes.

-Do you know him?\N-Yes, I traveled together with him.

Okay. You were in the room next to his.

Are you his wife or his girlfriend?

Niece.

Here is Ayumi's card.\NMy number is on the back.

Well... niece?

What is with Hitoshi?

Well... he was murdered.

Murdered?

-Did you catch the murderer?\N-No.

When did you last see Mr. Shima?

Yesterday evening, in the hotel.

We went swimming.\NAnd then up to the room.

I went to my room, he went to his.

Did he have a visitor after that?

Ayumi.\NShe left at around 8:00 p.m.

Somebody else?

Mr. Kalt. I heard him.

He has such a nice, strong voice.\NThe walls are not very thick.

Hitoshi was right.\NYou have to soundproof them better.

You can hear everything.

Did the two of them fight?

They talked passionately,\Nvery passionately.

Hitoshi always felt very responsible.

If a hotel was in his brochure,\Neverything had to be perfect.

And after Mr. Kalt left,\Nyou didn't see or hear anything?

He didn't snore anymore.

I always heard him snore, but...

-He didn't snore.\N-Yes...

The dead don't snore.

And if Erika moves in with him\Nin the forest?

What shall we do, then?

Have you ever spent\Na night in the forest?

She'll be back in no time.

There is some good outdoor equipment.

You have chosen very well.\NAlex Wieser here, I'm listening.

Mr. Wieder, Conrad here,\Nfuneral home Conrad.

Cornelius Marker is lying here with us.

Maybe you want to say goodbye to him.

He would probably like that.\NGoodbye, Mr. Wieser.

That smells great.

Mother's recipe.

Good, you set the table for three.\NI invited Luc.

-I didn't set the table for him.\N-I know.

Mario, mother is dead.

Have you never missed her\Nover all those years?

I have. Sometimes.

And Father?

Why did he kill himself?\NI've never understood it. Have you?

Mario, you have to talk about this\Nwith your therapist.

Why do you always avoid this subject?

Oh. A family meeting?

Hello, Mario.

Hello, Mr. Conrad.

I think you can use his first name.

-You could have warned me.\N-Would you have come, then?

You cook well, Mario. Really.

Luc is right.

When are you moving in?

I'm not moving in.

Because of him?

Yes. Among other things.\NAnd if you keep on like this,

you can eat your stew\Non your own in future.

I'm sorry.

It's just... we are one family.

We still are, even if I don't live here.

I'll open the door.

Mario, everything will be fine.

You just have to get used\Nto the new situation.

I will make everything good again.

Mario, how nice that you are back.

We all missed you.

-Do I disturb your meal?\N-No. We are almost done.

-Please, sit down.\N-Thanks.

He is a bit confused.\NNo wonder after everything.

Mr. Dörig. How can I help you?

I heard your rooms\Nare not soundproofed.

Is that the first time\Nyou've heard that?

Mr. Shima told you many times.

The last time,\Nshortly before his death.

Let's go into my office.

No. You should come to mine.

Just sit together and be happy\Nthat everything turned out fine.

Tonight at 7:00 p.m. in the Frohsinn.

But without you and Mario\Nit makes no sense.

Okay.

-If you take care of Mario.\N-I will.

And you're invited as well.\NYou are almost one of us anyway.

Very kind of you,\Nbut I already have plans.

Yes, I was in Mr. Shima's room.

And maybe I was a little bit loud.

But it was his fault.

There's nothing better\Nthan good sound insulation.

-Especially with murder.\N-I didn't kill him.

But you were\Nthe last to see him alive.

His murder, not me.

We'll wait for\Nthe translation of the note

that we found in his room\Nand then we'll see.

Wait!

The lock system.

Our locks are all electronic.\NEvery entry is registered.

Let's check the suite's lock.

Then you'll see\Nthat I wasn't the last one.

We have to talk, urgently.

It's closed.

-It's closed.\N-Just a moment.

We will celebrate tonight\Nin the Frohsinn.

You have to come.

Sure. It's about you.

And I will come as well.

Änneli as well.

-And the undertaker.\N-No, he can't.

-Good, I'll be there.\N-Great.

And one more thing.\NMy car is making strange noises.

-Could you have a look at it?\N-I am so busy.

I have to tidy up.

I'll drive it over\Nand put the key in your mailbox.

And you can do it\Nwhen you have time. Bye.

The fibers\Nin the airways are 100% cotton.

And regarding the quality\Nof the murder weapon,

there is nothing wrong with it.

Do I understand you correctly?

A hotel manager has a fight\Nwith an important tour operator,

very loud through thin walls\Nand silences him with a pillow.

Let's wait and see\Nwhat he scrambled onto the hotel pad.

Dörig. Yes.

What? No. Great. Thanks.

Why are you smiling?\NDid the Easter bunny gave birth?

Could the murder weapon\Nbe operated by a woman?

At 2.6 alcohol level, no problem.

Did you have a long lunch break?

I thought he would come back.

Stupid cow.

You never know.

I should have kissed him.\NThen he wouldn't have left.

Even more of a stupid cow.

Always think about it...

If you don't kiss,\Nit's your own fault.

-Do you want me to take you home?\N-No thanks.

A little exercise is good for me.

I think she is fed up with you.

I wouldn't have thought\Nthat she'd fall so madly in love.

If I fell in love like this...

Forget it. Erika wakes up tomorrow\Nwith a hangover and that's it.

-I think you should apologize.\N-I thought she was fed up with me.

Not to her, to Wildboar.\NHe doesn't dare come back here.

I'm not that terrifying.

Good to have you back, Mr. Wieser.

Thanks for the call.

Please, don't do that again.

Goodbye.

Mr. Wieser, I...

They were in love.

Apparently not enough.

It is the right thing, believe me.

More right than everything\NI've done in the last 11 years.

It feels like it.

It is not right.\NNow Kraft will be arrested.

Do you like him?

You have to think of yourself.\NIt's not healthy.

Now I know\Nwhat I loved about him, his smile.

It was just like yours.

Before it turned mean.

-Commissioner Reto Dörig.\N-Yes.

-I have a few more questions.\N-Sure.

You said you are his niece.

For 11 years.

-Well?\N-He was married.

That's why I was his niece.\NThat's how they call it in Japan.

But you are not related, right?

-Do I look like I am?\N-No.

-You had access to the room, right?\N-Yes.

When did you last see him?

Didn't you write all of this\Nin your little book?

You were in there again,\Nafter Mr. Kalt left.

Yes. The electronic doors\Nhave an extreme good memory.

Do you trust a computer\Nmore than me?

I'm disappointed.

I'm sorry. Facts are facts.

Please come with me\Nto the police station.

If you want to arrest the innocent, okay.\NI will get my handbag.

-Shall we go?\N-Yes.

Alex Wieser had a relationship\Nwith Cornelius Marker.

-Marker gave Wieser an alibi.\N-I know.

And then he just lets him down.

Maybe they weren't together\Nthat evening.

Maybe Cornelius wanted to save himself.\NDo you want to come in?

-I am not popular around here.\N-Mario is in the garage.

Oh, a new mobile?

How do you know that about Wieser?

Today in the institute,\Nhe visited Cornelius.

-Brave.\N-Not really.

I had to give him a helping hand.

What have you done? We know this\Nabout Wieser from the interrogation.

It's secret information.\NYou're not supposed to know that.

Wieser has a very bad conscience.

Or he is damn sad.\NI can understand that.

And that a father in an official\Npost is careful with his double life.

The case is solved.

Okay. Then you can celebrate happily\Nwith your people from Morgenthal.

Sorry, I'm worried.

-Then come with me.\N-I would rather move in here.

You really like each other,\Nmy brother and you.

I'm glad that you're worried about me.

You have chosen very well.\NAlex Wieser here, I'm listening.

Mr. Wieser, Conrad here.\NPlease come to my institute tomorrow.

Or I can come to you.\NGoodbye, Mr. Grand Council.

Look who's here.

Just in time for the appetizer.

Thanks, but I don't want\Nto eat your food.

I thought it's the only thing\Nyou can't easily find out here.

That's good.

-Here is another chair.\N-Thanks.

-You've made yourself comfortable here.\N-Yes.

But she spoiled it for me,\Nthe loneliness.

No. I spoiled it for the two of you.

Sorry.

I have nothing against it.

And we find a place\Nfor the wild boar fur.

Cheers and sorry again.

Nothing happened.

I'm Willy by the way.

Luc. My pleasure.

It's good that\Nwe're able to laugh again.

It hasn't been very funny lately,\Nbut I don't have to tell you that.

I'm proud that we're able\Nto drink to our success today.

We stuck together\Nand believed in ourselves.

In you, Mario.

And in you as well, Änneli,\Neven if it took a while.

Some of us left, not all voluntarily.

Others came back.\NGood that you're here today.

I hope you're here\Nmore often in the future.

Cheers, Änneli. Cheers, Mario.

-Cheers, Morgenthal.\N-Cheers.

A small beer. No, make it a big one.

Where is your hot boyfriend\Nin his dark suit?

Why didn't you come earlier?\NYou missed my speech. Where is Mom?

She's got a headache\Nand stayed at home.

The whole thing is very conspiratorial.\NNow I'm wondering.

I heard you want to clear out.\NThat's pretty familiar, isn't it?

I partnered up\Nwith a vintage label in Zurich.

That's all very familiar to me.

Don't you want to make me pregnant,\Nbefore you go?

Do you know what?

-I don't have to listen to this anymore.\N-The same old coward.

-You married an asshole.\N-Yes.

Because our child needed a father.

You're single again now.

Apparently you like married woman.

Or wanted Susanne to become pregnant,

because Patrick\Ncouldn't make her pregnant?

Oh... You loved her.

You've missed her, haven't you?

Susanne was much too nice for that.

Well.

What do you have to say?

-I don't speak Japanese.\N-Don't you?

You had good intuition,

when you tore the slip of paper\Nout of the notepad.

-What?\N-But it showed through. Shit happens.

You know exactly that this is\NMr. Shima's new will.

And you didn't like it that he gave\Neverything to a Buddhist temple.

How much would you have inherited...\Nwith the old will?

Such a cheeky girl.

I'm not falling for it.

You're a good actress,\Nbut the show is over.

Ayumi...

He disinherited her.\NThat's why she suffocated him.

-God, I really thought...\N-It's getting boring.

First Mr. Kalt, then Mrs. Shima...

-And in the end, I'm the murderer.\N-It was Ayumi.

I saw it with my own eyes.

Why didn't you say anything?

Because he deserved it.

And I felt sorry for Ayumi.

Yes, I wanted to do it,\Nover and over again.

But I couldn't do it.\NI was too cowardly.

Mr. Dörig, please.\NYou have to believe me.

I know.

Are you here for breakfast?

Do you want another sausage?\NAnd some more cold meat.

Thanks.

Was your great-grandfather\Nmaybe Chinese?

This is the Ihai board.

They write the Kaimyo on it,\Nthe name for the dead.

-The dead are renamed?\N-From a Buddhist priest.

You need it\Nfor a safe journey to the hereafter.

Otherwise, you keep coming back\Nwhen your name is called.

Maybe they don't have\Na Buddhist priest yet.

Or no money.

The longer the Kaimyo,\Nthe more dignified it is.

-But also expensive.\N-Okay.

The dear monks earn a fortune with it.

Mr. Marker is still downstairs.

Please go.

Cornelius Marker is no serial killer.

You know that better than I do.

You loved him.

I only know that you know too much,\Nway too much.

It may be interesting for you,\Nbut it's fatal for others.

I'm not necessarily talking about me,\Nbut about Commissioner Giovanoli.

Don't worry.\NI don't deny my friends, unlike you.

I... I chose my family.

I'm a political man.\NPolitics is the art of the feasibility.

And if others lose their lives\Nfor your art?

You're protecting a murderer.\NHe is still running around.

In contrast to you, I think that\Nlaw enforcement is doing a great job.

You can release a shit storm now.

And in the end, you'll probably\Nbe the only one left standing.

But you're on your own.\NDon't forget that.

I am sorry.

I am sorry as well.

Can you hug a ghost?

She denies everything.

Now she says that\Nit was the daughter of the deceased.

She presses every button.

And you like her. Pretty stupid.

Her?

She is practically in a cell.

Everything was correct with the Kaimyo.\NI don't understand it.

Me neither. Drive.

I'm looking for Ayumi Shima.\NShe's not answering her phone.

Is she with you?

We're driving her father\Nto the crematorium.

Mrs. Shima is probably looking\Nfor a Buddhist priest. And a cash machine.

A Buddhist priest?

She'll probably be at our institute\Nin two hours.

Don't forget the chopsticks.

-Don't you want to eat anything?\N-I do.

But Mom is not hungry anymore.

Mario, it's not working out.

I'm going back to my flat today.

We'll stay a family,\Neven if I don't live here.

A family that doesn't stick together\Nis no family.

Then go. Go to your undertaker.

If this is family for you, go.

But you know\Nthat you're lying to yourself.

I'm lying to myself?\NLook who's talking.

You're not worth it. Mom was right.

Then it's good\Nthat we're not real family.

We don't even have the same father.

Mom didn't tell you that, didn't she?\NThat's what I thought.

But it's the truth.

Why didn't she say anything?

Because she was ashamed.

I only learned when I was 18.

Why was she ashamed?

He raped her.

Raped her?

Bastard!\NAnd you didn't move against him.

Calm down!

I thought he was dead.

She only told me on her death bed\Nthat he's still alive.

Who is it?

An old man, not worth it.

It is. I want to know.

Fritz Lindt, a retired fisherman.

Have you talked to him?

Not really.

He doesn't know anything\Nand it's better that way.

-Mario, we have to eat.\N-I have to go to the garage.

He never forgave me\Nfor leaving home.

When mother died,\Nit got worse and worse.

He wanted me to come back\Nand care for him,

like I cared for mother...\Nbut I refused to do it.

He left all his money\Nto a Buddhist temple.

Also the money\Nmy mother promised me.

Without this money,\Neverything would have been lost,

everything I'd built up.

I didn't want to kill him.\NI just wanted to live my life.

I'm sorry.

Mrs. Shima made a confession.\NYou can go now.

I'll take care of your shop.

About my car...

Have you managed to find time?

You'll like it in Morgenthal.

Cornelius had an alibi.

I can't prove it,\Nbut I'm 100% certain.

And leave the Grand Council out of it.

-Did you talk to him again?\N-Everything stays in the dark.

I'd never call your mobile\Nbecause of something like this.

I thought you were here\Nbecause of me.

The serial killer is still free,\Ndamn it!

Don't worry,\NI'm going back to my flat today.

Are you coming to dinner?

Excuse me. I just got rid\Nof a lot of emotional baggage.
