THE PRESS IS AT THE FARM TOO NOW.

What are you trying to accomplish?

I'm just trying not to appear in the press.

The reporters are okay. I just brought them tea.

- It's cold today. - You saw how they talk about Ali?

They're at his flat, here, and you're bringing tea?

They're just doing their job.

If they do it well, they'll find out he's innocent.

Or they'll finish him.

Mum, if we're not clever, it'll end badly.

It looks like two witnesses were murdered yesterday.

What? What are you going to do?

I'm going to see Valentin.

The causes of the tragic collapse of the Meigertal bridge are still unknown.

Under public pressure, authorities are investigating the accident

in which five people died and 23 were injured.

Leave!

Evidence suggests that a police operation got out of control

and was the cause of the disaster.

Munich policeman, Alois Z.'s role is the focus of investigations.

Authorities...

Have a good day.

I will.

BROTHERS

- Hey. - Ali! How are you?

- Is CID interviewing you today? - Yes.

- Let me know if I can do anything for you. - Thank you.

And? Nervous?

- A little. - Why?

They'll question you as a witness. So act like one.

Have they identified the attackers?

I don't know, that's not their priority. They want to discuss the bridge.

How did they know about the transfer?

From the Austrians, I hope.

Listen, be clear in your statements. If you don't know, don't speculate.

Leave out the provocative half- sentences.

- I'm not new to this. - I know.

But this time, you're the one answering.

Ms Rinke is here.

Rena.

Mr Zeller, nice to meet you.

My colleague, Mr Engler.

Well, we're ready.

Yes.

Well, then.

Another coffee?

It's average, yours is better. Don't you have an automatic machine?

It's shit too.

- We need to talk about the hazmat trailer. - Sure.

Be honest. You couldn't put the fire out?

No, I...

There was only a small fire extinguisher.

- How did you know the tank would explode? - I didn't.

But if I see a driver running away from his truck, I know he's not carrying milk.

I see.

So, you didn't really see what the truck was carrying?

I saw a sticker, not an exact description.

And you let it fall?

If it had exploded on the bridge, everyone'd be dead. Not just five.

How do you know that?

How I know that? I...

I could see and hear it.

It burnt my skin. I can still taste it. I know because I was there.

Should I have brought a lawyer?

Am I being questioned as a suspect?

No.

That's a bit away, we're waiting for some expert reports.

It may take some time until the prosecution brings their charges.

Against me?

Five charges of involuntary manslaughter.

- TRAGIC BRIDGE COLLAPSE - How are the preparations going?

There's an issue with the container, but it'll be sorted soon.

Did they get those two out?

What's wrong?

They're dead.

- The older one... - Lambert.

He wasn't cooperating.

You killed them?

We wanted Seidler, with as little noise as possible.

No shootings, no witnesses, no damn bridge disaster.

We busted our butts to get them out and he started making threats.

So you killed them?

We had no alternative.

- Oh God, Lau... - They were mercenaries, not our team.

Four dead, plus Seidler, the whole country wants the truth.

And we were supposed to let him blackmail us?

Jeopardise it all?

We're lucky investigations are focussing on that policeman.

BUNDESWEHR DISCHARGE

Okay. From now on, I'll be involved in every decision.

Or Greece won't be happening.

- You know what's depending on this. - Money. Just money.

We wouldn't be able to finance a lot of our projects.

Do you want to explain that to our members?

I'll discuss your request with the others.

It wasn't a request.

Understood.

We need you, Sebastian Blank.

We wouldn't simply discard you.

- Oh God. - Hey.

How long have you been standing there?

20 or 30 minutes.

Are they for me?

Great that you're doing better.

I am so sorry.

For everything that happened.

It wasn't your fault.

- When can you go home? - At the end of the week maybe.

They're just observing me now.

- How's the investigation going? - Ouch.

- Let's talk about something else. - No. What's with the two French guys?

Dead, suffocated. Both of them.

30 kilometres from the bridge...

in a mountain hut.

They were murdered?

Depends whom you're asking.

I'll get a vase.

Who in our team knew about Seidler's transfer?

You, me, and Jannis.

And Rena, right?

Yes.

Yes.

I'll be back.

- Hi. - Leo.

I was in town because of Ali and thought I'd drop by.

I heard about it. I'm sorry.

Is Valentin home?

Yes.

Yes. Come in.

Look.

Hi.

- Dad? - Am I interrupting?

I was in town and thought...

I...

- Hi, I'm Leo, Valentin's dad. - I'm Halil, his friend.

Nice meeting you.

My boyfriend.

You mean...

How... nice. Gosh.

Oh, I...

Jodi?

You have access to the file now.

Once they notice, they'll lock you out. You have to be quick.

Okay. How much time do I have?

Like I said, once they notice, you're out.

Somewhere between a minute and three weeks. Good luck.

Thanks, Jodi.

- And? - Huh?

What do you think about Halil?

Well... I mean, the two... I don't know him.

You didn't know?

I did.

Well, no.

Stay for dinner. You can get to know him properly.

Sorry, I have to go. It's about Ali. It's important.

Seriously?

I'll come by again in a few days, I promise.

I'm not the person to make promises to.

Well, then.

- CAN I BUNK WITH YOU? - COURSE. NO PROBLEM.

FOUND THE KEYS?

- I'd like to see Ms Soltani. - Sorry, that's not possible.

- I know that she's a lawyer. - Yes...

What's the matter?

My wife. The doctors say she'll be partially paralysed.

Sorry to hear that.

Whoever's guilty, I want to go to court.

- I'm happy to discuss this with you. - Thank you.

Cool flat, somewhat cosmopolitan.

FOUND THE KEYS?

Did you know that Valentin has a boyfriend?

Halil?

Yes.

THANKS! YOUR FLAT IS SOMEWHAT COSMOPOLITAN.

Jodi said we might not have much time.

- Who's Jodi? - Cybercrime unit in Leipzig.

Here we are.

Seidler, Till. Let's see your record.

Yep.

He stole weapons from some barracks, took off to Austria, was arrested.

Blah, boring...

Seidler was transferred to be questioned about the whereabouts of the stolen gear.

- It's still missing then. - Looks like it.

And the French guys?

The two French men are Belgians. Willems and Lambert, mercenaries.

Soldiers then.

Soldiers who may not have wanted Seidler to talk.

- His clients? - Maybe they contracted him.

They wanted to get him out or kill him to keep things quiet.

Maybe.

But they couldn't know when or where we'd take him.

Unless someone told them.

Yes.

He took some of everything: weapons, ammunition, explosives...

satellite phones, radio equipment.

I'll check if...

- Fuck. - What?

They locked us out.

Not good. Not good.

Shit.

Bad news?

Someone external accessed Seidler's file.

- External? - Saxon State Police.

Is someone just curious, or should we be worried?

Zeller's brother works for the Saxon State Police.

- Yes? - You asked to be involved in decisions.

Is there a problem?

We hope you'll find out. And solve it.

Your way, this time.

Knock, knock.

How do you know him?

He approached me. Asked if I'm a lawyer.

This is huge, you know that, yes? Maximum publicity.

How many claimants are there?

- 30 or 40. - Some will surely join.

A class action? Against whom?

The bridge operator, chemicals producer, truck company or the police.

Have some imagination.

It's not our thing. And it'll drag on for years.

Even better.

Every report on television is an ad for us.

We have plenty of other cases.

Maryam, none of your colleagues is good enough for this case.

But they all understand its potential. Shall I give it to one of them?

Gabi would be at the police station requesting records in no time,

camera team in tow.

I'll have a look at the bridge operator.

That's what I like to hear.

It's a great opportunity.

The Belgians don't want Seidler to talk.

They can't free him, try to kill him, then die because they can't light a fire.

Is there anything we didn't know yesterday?

I now know that my son is gay.

I have no problem with him being gay.

Only with the fact that I obviously don't know him.

Maybe it's time to take an interest.

Yes, maybe it's time for me to take an interest.

Leo...

Thank you.

- For accessing the file. - It's okay.

- Where are you going? - I need to get out.

NEXT EVENT 11:00 PM AT NORDKURVE

Ali?

Oh... hello.

- Hello. - Leo Zeller, State Police, somewhere?

Can you prove your identity?

I was with Ali, but he's gone out.

I actually wanted...

to leave too.

Gone out where?

Out somewhere. I don't know where.

Cheers.

My mum would be disappointed if I didn't offer you a drink.

You're his only brother?

Yes.

Well...

as far as I'm aware.

Hey! Good fight!

Thanks.

Alois Zeller.

Sorry we had to resort to such measures,

but we know what an unpredictable temper you have.

And now? What's your plan?

Carbon monoxide poisoning?

If it were up to my colleagues, you'd be dead already.

But I want to give you a chance.

Untie me, and we'll talk.

Ali, here's a suggestion.

And I want you to really consider it.

What I'm about to say isn't just for you, but also for your nosy brother.

Keep your hands off the Seidler case.

Forget his name and his face. Better forget he even existed.

And we, in return,

will sort out your involuntary manslaughter problem.

How does that sound?

I'd never know who you are.

You'd be in control.

Anyone I'd meet could be one of you.

It's the only way to be sure that you'll hold up your end of the deal.

I can't agree to it then.

Have you understood our offer?

Yes.

I have.

Ali was a weird child.

A rebel, but not stressful.

He was always either completely calm

or going full steam.

Weren't you close as kids?

Yes, we were.

Ali was my best mate.

I mean, my dad was my hero.

My brother my best mate.

I didn't need to worry.

I remember, in year six or seven,

there were some farm boys looking to beat me up.

And then, Ali came.

First, he copped it. Didn't defend himself.

Then, as if someone had pushed a button,

he took them on.

One after the other.

- And you? - I stood there and laughed.

Not very heroic.

True. In hindsight...

What caused the break between you?

Our father died.

Everything changed after that.

Ali was devastated. Well, we all were.

But him, in particular.

You have nine seconds. Who are you?

Six, five, four, three...

Zeller!

Zeller!

No!

Are you for or against us?

Nine seconds to decide.

Zeller!

Why didn't you shoot?

Ali?

What...

Did you go for a swim or what?

- Shit. - What happened?

- Are you drunk? - Ali, what happened?

I... I need a shower.

Jannis.

Ali?

You offered to help. Does your offer still stand?

Sure. Couldn't you have just called?

What is it?

Leo, can you explain to him what you explained to me?

This is my brother.

He's quite wary because he doesn't know you.

Hi.

It's only a theoretical idea. Stay cool, okay?

Okay.

Ali drove through Munich with someone yesterday.

Okay...

If you located his mobile,

you'd be able to see who was with him?

Yes, with a phone cell query.

- That's it. - Okay.

Okay, and if you scan for that phone now,

you'll see where the person is now?

- Of course. - That's what I need.

- That's totally illegal. - Not totally, just a little.

It's totally illeg...

It's illegal. You need a court order.

Is that a "no"?

- Well... - Yes?

- I didn't say that. - You didn't say no.

- I didn't say yes. - He just did.

- No! Ali... - Great, thank you.

If Jannis is the mole, we're in deep shit.

- It's not him. - How do you know?

- I just know. - No, you don't. You don't know!

No.

Fuck, Ali. It's always the same.

What's with the IT woman... Josie?

Jodi.

Too risky.

You like her.

She's not in my league.

Wow.

That's super arrogant, even for you, Leopold.

No... she is a Ferrari.

I...

I am a VW Golf.

You're a Ferrari too.

With a faulty engine and a bobblehead, but still a Ferrari.

I'll visit you again soon, promise.

Here's something.

- For me? - Yes.

Wow.

Thanks.

Bye.

What about Zeller?

If he's alive, he has nothing.

He saw our faces.

- Yes. - What's the situation?

- Everything's calm. - And the protectee?

He's fine.

- We'll let you know our flight numbers. - Copy that.

They also knew about the pending charge.

It's in the newspapers daily.

They didn't just assume though. They were sure.

Yes?

That mobile has been through half the city.

- I owe you. - I'll send you the routes and times.

You're an absolute champion.

I know. The bad news: the phone is off now.

Yours?

- Where did it dial last? - The airport.

- You think he's flown out? - Looks like it.

Anything of interest before that?

Yes.

- Why were they here? - Problems with their container.

They wanted to submit a missing document.

The boss handled it.

- Where did the container go? - One moment.

Here... first to Trieste,

then on to Piraeus, Athens.

No name, just the container number.

- What's this, tomorrow at 4:00 p.m.? - The scheduled pickup at Piraeus port.

Thank you.

Greece, Leo. Outer EU border.

Seidler's equipment and weapons. And soldiers who know how to use them.

Tomorrow at 4:00 p.m., they'll get the container.

Sure, Ali. I know what you're about to say.

I'm going to Athens and at 4:00 p.m.,

I'll check out that damn container

and who's picking it up.

- I'll come. - No. This can damage your career.

Letting you, the troublemaker, go alone, will damage it more.

Ali?

Ali?

THANKS FOR EVERYTHING. I'LL BE BACK SOON. ALI

It's Valentin's birthday soon. I don't have a present yet.

How about some attention?

Can you bloody tell me what's ahead

or do I have to decide for myself?

- Now! - 30 metres bend.

Slow and stupid.

- 100 metres, left bend. - What?

- Right bend. - Open your damn mouth!

Right bend. 100 metres, right bend.

Maximum speed?

What's the maximum speed?

100!
