with multiple injuries.

Was he on drugs?

lt's on record that he had a history

of psychiatric treatment.

Where?

- You're with the press.

Yes, but you saw it in the hospital file.

ln a neuropathological sense,

it's hard to say what is normal.

Of course, not everyone

jumps into a lion cage.

Yes, that's true.

Did you find anytoxic substances?

- We test for evermhing in such cases.

Too bad you are throwing us out.

We came all the wayfrom Berlin.

Halmer said

we could spea openly with you...

Yes, Justus Halmer.

l thought you new him.

How do you now Justus Halmer?

l met him in Afghanistan.

Nevermind.

Why didn't you saythat right away?

How is he?

So-so.

l heard about his meltdown.

He was never a diplomat.

lt can't be easy if you have

one of your own on the table.

Yes, that's true.

But the police closed the case,

However not because of my report.

You found something?

- No, but l recommended further tests.

That weren't carried out?

- It upset me.

l've already said too much.

Why were no further tests conducted?

- Too costly. l have to go now.

One last thing.

The tests that weren't carried out,

could they still be conducted?

lf he is exhumed, yes.

Car is over there.

We won't mae it now.

No problem.

Runs every hour.

Gelsenirchen isn't that small.

The factory alone is massive.

lt is pretty big.

We now have motor scooters.

The building is 450 meters long.

The largest in Gelsenirchen.

What do you do there?

- Recycling. Electronic waste, etc.

ls that dangerous?

Dangerous?

There are huge machines.

But as long as you don't fall in...

Do you handle heavy metals

and things lie that?

Heavy metals are everywhere.

Your cell phone has heavy metals, too.

We do the shredding

and over there it is melted down...

Have you ever done that?

For the first two years l was there.

Then my nose started protesting,

the mucous membrane.

Aren't there any protective mass?

Loo over there.

The stadium.

Hey, you're from the press!

Get out, both of you!

A word on Rangel?

He stayed in the smelting plant.

- And no one lasts long there?

Great!

Excellent job.

What should l have done?

Let him spea first.

- You are such an a**hole.

Yes, but an a**hole who's right.

Why don't you help me then?

You are the super pro.

Hey, that was your show!

How about a drin?

- Not with you.

Good night.

Night.

Well?

l'm watching wrestling.

Yuc, it's so disgusting what they do.

That's a pin.

Just part of the repertoire.

But it's not real, is it?

- It's real wrestling.

You now what l mean.

See that guy on the right

next to the ring?

That's the storyliner.

He comes up with the story.

Really?

Een if vou know all the tricks,

vou fall for it eerv time,

On the phone you're actually ind of nice.

Only on the phone?

So Porsche drier, l need some sleep,

This is her father.

There.

Excuse me, l'm looing for Ms. Rangel.

At the plus-sizes.

- Than you.

You don't need a plus size.

- Ms. Rangel?

We spoe on the phone.

Come with me,

l'll show you something else.

l can't spea with you.

lt's for my mother.

What size?

- XL.

No one has to now.

- The toxic waste plant?

Theytold you to eep quiet?

Please leave.

Petra, could you tae over, please?

What exactly are you looing for?

- l actually have what l need.

RECYCLING DIAGRAM

COMMERCIAL REGISTER

Do you have a minute?

l'm searching for Echard Lase.

Eckhard aske,

Who's rhar7

Apparentlythe CEO

of a T.T. holding company

or perhaps of Rheingold GmbH.

''L'' as in Ludwig. ''A'' as in Anton.

''S'' as in Samuel.

Or Siegfried, if you lie,

as a Wagner fan... ''K'' and ''E.''

O, thans.

lt's about a 'T.T. Holding'.

Does that mean anmhing to you?

Located in Gelsenirchen.

May l?

No, it's a large business.

Officially, they own Kuros.

Recycling.

And l can see it just lie that?

Thans.

Let me get right bac to you, O?

Thans.

He is apparently

no longer CEO at Rheingold.

Or what was it?

T.T. Holding?

So?

He's dedicated himself

to his hobbies.

What prefix is that?

- Thailand.

Fabian Groys, from the 'Woche'.

Am l speaing with Mr. Albers?

Great.

l just have a quic question.

l'm a bit confused.

At first l thought the company

was called Rheingold GmbH,

but in other contexts

all l see is Relca-tec and Kur...

You don't now...

What's funny is that the official records

always state the same company as owner.

T.T. Holding.

The company really did

eep changing its name.

From '$3 to '93 it was 'Clear-Tec'

then 'Relca-Tec'

in 2001 it was briefly

'Rheingold Recycling'.

This Holding TT,

T period T?

No idea.

That is an abbreviation.

What for?

- How should l now?

'Total Tricsters'?

- Sure.

You'll have to give me some more.

If l find anmhing, l'll let you now.

Thans.

Here...

Bythe way, is your email woring?

My computer is really weird.

System Error 2369$ or something.

You could try asing Robbie.

So let's assume that this guy Rangel

was poisoned at wor,

went crazy and jumped in the lion's cage.

What time span are we taling about?

- Hard to say.

The one study said that

psychogenic materials tae effect slowly.

Years...?

O, Rangel was there since 2006,

right after getting out of the army.

The guy in the car said

he stayed in the smelting plant.

That's seven years.

The pathologist also said

something was strange.

He didn't saythat.

One way or the other,

that's not a storyyet.

And what is T.T. Holding?

- l don't now.

l also wanted to say...

For the past few days some guy

has been sending me anonymous letters.

Who writes letters nowadays?

50 and older.

TurmstraRe, U9...

- He says he's got something for us.

He wants to meet in the subway?

At first, l just thought he was crazy.

How does he now

we are looing into Rangel?

Exactly.

So tell me,

do you realize what is at stae here?

Are you aware?

Last year we had

a supply gap of 12,OOO tons,

scandium and lanthanum.

Do you now what that means

in jobs, total assets and value added?

Are you aware how that affects industry?

We give you a decent salary?

Definitely.

- Yes, l...

The onlything you must do is ensure

that the bill goes through as planned

without anyone from the 'Woche'

snooping around in Gelsenirchen!

Just a second, may l interrupt?

- Yes, please!

The fact that we're able to inform you

shows that we are in control.

Just imagine if we didn't now about it.

As soon as anmhing shows up

in the 'Woche' it's too late.

That someone jumped

into a lion's cage is not our fault.

Have a nice day.

- You, too, goodbye.

What's the matter?

That was him.

And?

And?

What is that, USB 2.O?

No, maybe.

But it does find the hard drive.

l'll try it on the old machine.

The amount of time we spend

just sit waiting in front of a computer.

Years.

Naed, right...?

Excuse me?

- How do you tae your coffee?

Not completely naed.

Anmhing coming?

- Wait...

Hey there.

lt's a hospital file.

From whom?

- All the names are blaced out.
