That you were on a night stroll with our dear

Mrs. Dornhelm at the time of the murder.

What?

Okay Gentlemen. For everyone

half a pizza.

Pizza Diavolo for you.

Shouldn't we file a missing

person report?

Let's wait a bit.

She's not a little kid anymore.

I'm sure there is an absolutely

harmless explanation.

I do hope so.

We cannot buy pizza every day.

Enjoy your meal!

Andreas

Better again?

Yes, sure.

Here's my husband's note.

Petting 69

Let's ask Mr. Fitz.

We'll go to the Marianum.

You won't find him there anymore.

He's already on his way to the

big benefit reception.

In the arch bishop's palais.

Benefit?

Well, let's go there then.

We should then make a visit to

our props room first.

Is there also a shower?

Reality is a huge pool of sh*t

that obstructs our progress.

But we are also not

singing right now.

Yes. But why not? Why isn't anybody

singing. We can all sing together.

Singing digests, singing cleanses.

And I ask myself: Who's behind this?

Who's behind that we are not singing?

Well, from that perspective you're right.

He's scandalous. Not a real director.

Bella. Mia Prima.

May I present you this gift?

I'm speechless. My favourite cream.

It is only available in Paris.

How come you know?

I also have my little secrets.

Your father pokes around in the

garbage of the singers.

Excuse me?

Only to be able to make the right presents.

Isn't that a bit much of an effort?

Hello Mrs. Dornhelm.

Hello.

Mr. Brenner. I think it is not

the right time for this topic.

You cannot always pick the right time.

It becomes harder and harder

to get the big stars.

Hello Mrs. Dornhelm.

Hello.

It is well perceived amongst them.

Well, I don't know much about high culture,

but isn't this a little wild west?

Mr. Brenner. All of high culture is wild west.

Good evening Mr. Private Detective.

Are you enjoying yourself?

Oh, splendid.

We are running a little poll.

What does "Petting 69" mean to you?

I hope it's nothing indecent.

Your Eminence.

Have you already been to the buffet?

Japanese food is not my cup of tea.

I wait humbly for the

goulash soup at midnight.

I hope it's a bit burnt.

Burnt. See, this is exactly what

I always tell my cook.

A well done goulash soup ..

Dear Mrs. Before you go I would like

to express my deepest condolences.

Better don't. Otherwise I would have to tell you

where you can shove your deepest condolences.

Well, I guess we'll have a look for

this goulash soup, don't we?

May I invite you to the

cathedral this sunday?

Maybe you'll find consolation in the sermon.

Frankincense always makes me a little nauseatic.

Eminence, please. We really have to

taste the goulash soup now.

Please follow me. I have to

introduce you to someone.

Do you think this was the right time

to discuss this topic?

You cannot always pick the right time.

I can't find Fitz around here.

My father said that he

left for Rome.

What?

He left.

Rome?

What are you going to do now?

Have a drink.

It's not that dangerous. My daughter

doesn't know what Petting 69 means.

But we'll have to come up with

something for Brenner.

And what will you come up with

for Mr. Brenner?

Kita.

I always wanted to spare you this.

You wanted to spare yourself something.

Unfortunately you're a bit

too impulsive.

You've got this from your blessed mother.

Let me go!

Kita, we don't have anyone else but us.

Don't disappoint me.

Tell me. Were these Japanese or Chinese?

Japanese.

You can just readily say that?

Yes, sure.

How can you distinguish them?

Chinese,

Watch:

Japanese,

Owl,

Bump.

Not bad.

What are you going to do

when you're all the way up?

Is there another possibility?

I'll drive down again.

What would you do if you were behind us?

If I was behind us?

Could we please discuss this tomorrow?

It could be too late tomorrow.

Okay, then let's exercise.

If I was behind us, I would turn

at the second highest level

What?

Turn!

Would go to the exit

Go to the exit!

Why?

There I would wait for us,

and shoot us.

Shhhh, be quiet.

They really didn't follow us.

See, just as I said. They still

follow international regulations.

Like in football.

They build a new parking deck back there.

Great!

Here they come.

We can go down now.

Wait! How do you know

if both are in the car?

F***!

No trespassing!

We're just passing.

F***!

Go!

Downhill I'm faster.

Quite a lot. I can't see them anymore.

They probably keep the safety distance.

That's not good for my head.

Where did they go to?

Go on!

Great evasive manoeuvre.

Now, you are crying.

Although you should be happy.

One shouldn't cry when one is chosen.

Yes, you heard right. Amongst many

girls, you have been chosen.

You don't have to be scared.

The man will be very nice to you.

And you won't be alone with him.

Here, look at this.

Our beloved mother of god

will always be with you!

And afterwards a beautiful

present is waiting for you.

But the greatest gift is that you do

precisely what Jesus says in the bible:

"Whoever loves me must take up his cross and follow me"

Now, watch out!

Now I'll shoot your balls off.

And... goal!

Brothers and Sisters in faith.

Dear relatives. Dear students.

After a 5 year long stretch, finally another of

our students was called to priesthood.

How come there's only

one ball in the machine?

I bet it was the 1st graders again.

It's also totally greasy.

Hey, unfair!

Equalised!

What's up with this table, anyways?

2/3 of our priests are nowadays older than 60 years.

And we all know, what this will

mean in a few years.

orphaned rectorates, empty churches,

Believers, who not even on sunday,

will be able to celebrate the Mass.

Where are all the balls?

I bet the damn 1st graders

stuffed something in again.

Can you tilt it a little?

Better?

Thanks

I can feel something.

Something soft.

Did these pigs stuff a plastic bag in there?

Hello..

Let peace be with you, at all times.

And with your spirit.

Shake each others hands as a sign

of peace and reconciliation.

Ah, Mr. Brenner. We see us again so quickly.

But that's how it is with you PIs. Always

around if something's happening.

Ah, Brenner, something stupid happened.

My mother would also like to come to the

premiere. Could you talk to Mrs. Dornhelm?

Who is it?

Ms. Ding

Who?

The cook of the Marianum.

The janitor..

The janitor?

Yes. The man spent 10 years in prison.

Had killed his wife back then.

We found the cook's golden necklace in his room.

He dismembered her?

23 pieces. Yes.

The suspect is still at large, but we're

currently searching the whole house.

Did you interrogate anyone in there, yet?

What? The priests?

Yes!

No, they are all praying in the chapel right now.

Don't worry, none of them will run away.

We can talk to them tomorrow.

Sorry, a short interruption.

Leave this house of God!

I have to briefly ask a few questions.

I'm not so sure whether he lives here.

I'll get the police.

Does anyone know where Mr. Fitz is?
