truth in his allegations?

It doesn't help anyone to

dig out such old things.

Doesn't matter whether right or wrong.

After so many years.

You have to be able to forgive,

don't you think?

Some people simply are

justice-fanatics.

See, I am not one of these.

I'm generous.

Good for you!

And you, Mr. Brenner?

Are you generous?

I don't think so.

Bad for you!

Why?

The stress, Brenner.

Small-minded people are always stressed out.

He is willing to sing on stage.

If you close the roof.

But that's not possible because

of the staging.

Hello.

We are looking for a certain Mr. Brenner.

He's living here, isn't he?

He moved away.

That's a pity.

We have something for him.

Interesting. What is it?

A plane ticket.

Our boss would like to give

it to him as a gift.

You can leave it here. When he

comes I'll give it to him.

Unfortunately, we have to give

it to him in person.

Aha, why?

We have to talk to him a little.

To make sure that he really flies,

with our ticket.

Because if he doesn't fly,

it would be bad.

Thanks for the conversation,

piss off and leave Brenner alone!

What does it actually cost?

What?

You?

Well, it is divided into

fees and allowance.

Allowance usually is more.

I would like to know what makes you tick.

Money doesn't make you tick,

neither does standing.

What actually does make you tick?

I think the solution is

that I simply don't tick.

How lucky that you are

such an old scumbag.

Right.

Good night.

...this goddamn a**hole...

I'm just asking myself, why?

Put it on!

Hello.

Hello?!

Brenner.

Konstanze Dornhelm.

Did you get home well?

Yes.

I'm calling because I'm sitting at

Gottlieb's desk and found a note.

Yes?

Mr. Brenner, are you alright?

Nono, everything's fine.

What is it with the note?

It says:

Petting 69.

Yes. Spelt exactly like what we

did in our adolescence.

Petting.

And then it says 69.

I'll call you back.

Are you sure that everything is fine?

Yes, yes.

Hi, it's me. Can I sleep at your place?

First you treat me like a kid,

and now you want to stay at my place.

Do you have pills against headaches?

Do you know how unhealthy these are?

They can literally burn

holes into your stomach.

And if you take too many of them

your blood becomes so thin that

it transpires through your skin.

Why are you so pale?

No smoking.

I'll tell you a story.

That was a great idea.

There. That's them.

pay first.

You've been at the bus yesterday.

I only brought food.

But the driver saw you.

Did you take something out?

well, just wait.

You'll think a little more about it.

Praise Jesus Christ.

Where do you go?

I need something against headaches.

There's no pharmacy at the train station.

For me there is.

Why do these gentlemen have to leave?

It is forbidden to linger at the

train station's premises.

The transport authority.

Says who?

And you are the transport authority's

private security service, right?

We don't want to waste taxes, do we?

Hi. A newspaper, please.

Thanks.

I'm not sure if you can help me.

I can help people the best who

have faith in something.

Doesn't look too good for me.

Don't you have faith in anything anymore?

I have faith in going to bed tonight,

and that I will get up tomorrow.

And that I'll have a coffee.

We don't know that.

But I have faith in it.

Well, that is a start, alright.

I also have faith in the fact that

Gottlieb Dornhelm has been murdered.

Oh my god.

I don't think god had too

much to do with it.

You're not homeless, Brenner.

Good for you.

Do you know anything about it?

I know who did it.

What?

I can't tell you anything, Brenner. I am

bound by confessional secrecy.

The murderer confe...

Brenner. Whoever or whatever you are.

I cannot tell you anything.

Unless..

Unless what?

Did you listen to our little song, Brenner?

"Lord, the paths that you lead me to"

"I often cannot understand."

Also detours can lead us

to the Lord, Brenner.

What do you know?

Brenner. You have to leave.

Why do I have to leave?

The police is looking for you.

"Ritual murder in the extreme Right"

Can I call you?

I will call you.

Give him your phone number.

Tonight?

Against headaches.

You?

Did you already take the whole package?

No, I lost it.

Sure?

Promised.

With lots of water.

Otherwise one gets holes in his stomach

and the blood becomes so thin

that it transpires through the skin.

You have a good memory.

Or do you always remember every

customer who came by once.

Why?

I don't forget the weird ones.

The church really has to have money.

Tomorrow Salzburg's arch bishop Michael Schorn

will place the cornerstone to an annex

to the Marianum.

It will contain a Sauna, a meditation

room and a swimming pool.

The 2,5 million Euros won't cost

the tax-payer one cent.

It is solely funded through donations.

That is strange.

They collect a few cents at the train station.

they have a sports park like a football club

and then they build a swimming pool

for a few million.

And for who?

For 33 pupils.

That's strange, isn't it?

And what are you searching here now?

If I had always known what I look for

when I search for something,

I hadn't found anything so far.

that is again some general rumbl..

Wait for me!

Why should I wait?

You're the cavalry. If I'm in trouble

you'll get me out.

I don't have a trumpet with me.

Yes?

We are already on our way.

Brenner!

Brenner!

I'm scared.

I'll look after you.

They were in my room.

In your room? Why?

They search for the passport of the

girl they took along.

Do you have it?

Brenner!

Brenner!

She was at most 18.

And really pretty.

Great!

F***.

I don't want to imagine what they're

doing to her now.

Yes. We can just hope that they

don't think the same way you do.

Idiot!

Come to the police with me. Please.

No. I won't let them frame me again.

I won't go there a second time.

I told you over and over again:

You have to leave here.

Let's run away together.

I'll have to prepare breakfast for the

boys tomorrow.

C'mon. Don't be stupid.

We'll have to call the Police.

The police? The police is searching for me.

Do you want to be responsible for

another murder?

Sorry..

The cook worries me.

Yes. At least we know where she is. Let's go.

The cook?

Berti

It's for you. Fitz.

Brenner.

Brenner, it troubles me. We have to continue to talk.

And what's with the confessional secret?

Maybe we can see it like this:

Let me confess to you today, Brenner.

Okay, we're coming.

Don't make it harder for me

than it already is.

Please come alone.

Fine.

Where do we meet?

Thank you.

Splendid, Mr. Fitz.

Josef?

That's enough!

Josef?

Josef?

Stop that!

It's not funny.

Sit down.

Brenner!

Brenner!

Brenner!

Brenner!

What did you do to him?

Nothing.

He fell down.

stumbled.

Well, he behaved like a raging bull.

Watch your ashes, Brenner.

Damn, I have a headache.

You could have a concussion.

Why didn't you tell us immediately, Brenner?
