Loo here.

'lnsufficient wor safety.

High ris of critical health impairments#

Rheingold.

- The Rheingold group. Bingo.

Where is it from?

From someone that is really upset.

l thought of you immediately.

Certainly.

Tuesday or Thursday?

We have a small problem.

Just a moment please.

lf it's only small then it can wait.

- Then maybe it's not so small.

Can l call you bac in 10 minutes?

Thans. Bye.

Groys was given documents.

What ind of documents?

Connected to Gelsenirchen.

And you thin

that is a small problem, Mr. Bhler?

The files are not yet on his computer.

- But we have our computer genius.

l thought so too.

But the computer isn't online. Not yet.

l want to now

what they have, bytomorrow.

How should l...?

- No. Today.

l don't really care how you do it.

Just inform me, even if it's 2 a.m.

Is that clear?

Yes. Perfectly clear.

So?

Nothing yet.

O.

lf the computer can't go online,

we'll have to go to the computer.

Alright...

What's that supposed to mean?

That l'll be right bac.

You really want to intervene physically?

Yes.

What does she say?

- She doesn't want to now.

Mr. Bhler?

- Not now.

Tomorrow.

l read it.

- There are still some holes.

Just a few.

- Listen, you wanted a report.

Where did this mysterious file come from?

Former staff member...

- Department of the Environment.

Anonymous?

Theyfound many cases of negligence in the

handling of certain toxic substances.

l eep seeing the name Rheingold.

- That's what they used to be called.

How did the Department come up with this?

There were several

written medical reports,

blood tests, doctor's certificates...

The file is incomplete.

- That's what l was getting at.

Page 1 is missing.

We can't connect it to any name.

- Not yet.

Where was l?

- Blood tests.

The blood values are typical

of metal poisoning.

But the dump was never shut down.

Someone in the Department

must have warned them.

That went on for 4 years.

After the elections the case was closed.

There's no proof of the connection.

We're woring on it...

- That's the wrong lead.

This guy is frustrated,

this pencil pusher in the Department.

He wants excitement.

Spy games in the subway.

Fantastic!

He should come out and tal.

What does he want?

That we go public.

lt doesn't mae sense.

Maybe this Rangel guy

was crazy beforehand?

ls that even his file?

- We're following this lead...

How reassuring.

l see potential.

My grandmother has potential.

Are we going to put up with this?

- No!

What do we do?

- Go to the competitors.

Excellent idea.

Bythe way, l googled you.

l wanted to now who l'm woring with.

Why didn't you just as me?

Needed an independent source.

- Sure.

l found almost nothing.

Something's not quite right.

With me or with Google?

Seriously, what do you want to now?

You'll answer every question?

- Just as.

Alcohol always maes me so 'nice#

That's the problem.

You now, Fabian,

you just don't get it.

Are you sure

you activated the right computer?

lt was the only old machine.

You did it lie we said?

Wait.

One moment.

You now what heparnization is?

- No.

No.

- Didn't have Gree at school?

No.

German first name.

Five letters. First letter W.

Walter.

Why a German first name?

Fine, just a first name.

Walter.

Oh, God.

My head is illing me.

Hey relax, you really weren't that 'nice#

Walter Badin.

Where can we find him?

Wait a sec.

Walter has six letters.

What about Werner?

Wassili Badin?

Wassili also has six. Or seven.

- O, W. Badin.

lsn't that enough,

to find out where he lives?

We have the doctor's address.

And where?

- KirchstraRe, Gelsenirchen.

He wouldn't drive 600 miles

for an examination.

Maybe Walter...

- Wolfie.

... Ieft behind some ind of trail.

O, Mr. Bodin.

Readyfor surgery?

It will hurt a little.

Loo what l've found.

l must have overlooed it last time.

lt's just a picture...

Thans.

You have to be idding.

Than you.

They were in the same company

together, Rangel and Bodin.

When was the picture taen?

- October 2004.

Rangel

and Bodin.

They new each other from the army.

Wait. 3rd battalion,

7th Company.

l now someone who was

an army engineer in Afghanistan.

He's no longer serving,

but neither are they.

l'll deal with Bodin.

- Where could he be?

l now him. l now him.

That's Kolle. 'The c*nt'.

Do you now that one there, Rangel?

Everyone new him.

Why?

Because he was a bit screwy.

Screwy?

He wasn't in my platoon.

Just what we heard.

You heard that he was screwy?

Was he being treated?

Don't now anmhing about that.

He was just a bit crazy.

What does that mean exactly?

Be specific, come on.

He put a goat's head

in his neighbor's sleeping bag.

Made a huge mess.

- Sounds lie standard soldier stuff.

Where was that?

ln some Russian barracs from the $Os.

A real dump.

They said it was temporary,

but we stayed for 3 years.

Where was that exactly?

Where?

Mazar-e Sharif.

Who nows what they dumped there!

When it rained we had oil in the latrine.

Did you file a complaint?

- Sure, but nothing happened.

And the ground?

- They dumped something.

Did you happen to hear about Rangel?

How he died?

Yeah. Crazy.

Did any of the others go nuts?

Not lie that.

Tae a loo here.

Bodin.

Bodin?

l can't remember him.

Who too the picture?

Someone from the press corps?

No clue.

Hello.

l have some news.

- l'll just dry my hair.

So l met with that soldier...

That's enough. Now listen...

- l'll put something on.

Do you now what he told me?

Why don't you ever

answer the phone when l call you?

Did you miss me?

Bodin is dead.

- What?

He committed suicide, too.

l spoe with his aunt.

Did you call me?

You are such an a**hole.

Do we now where this aunt lives?

- Nursing home.

And he doesn't have any...

... any other relatives?

Or a wife?

The aunt mentioned a girlfriend,

who wasn't at the funeral.

Did she mention any names?

Stefanie Kodolsi.

And now?

Ms. Kodolsi.

He was disposed of there.

At the toxic waste plant.

Just lie the other one.

Rangel?

Could you describe to me

how he changed after Afghanistan?

He came bac

and he was shut off.

You hear stories

but he started doing stran'ge things.

Pictures

manically cutting up pictures.

Things lie that.

And the job at Kuros...

They got it for him.

'They' as in the army?

He also had...

... anxiety attacs.

Screamed lie the dicens.

That was around six months

after he came bac.

But bythat time he was

already woring at Kuros?

Yes.

At first all they did

was twiddle thumbs.

They were under observation.

And why did he send anonymous letters

to the Department of the Environment?

To denounce the toxic waste plant?

That's the first l've heard of it.

He sent medical files, blood test results.

Pages of them.

He mailed lots of things.

He wrote the UN, the World Health...

- W.H.O.

He just went crazy.

You have an envelope in your box.

You call Groys, meet with him

at your normal meeting place.

lnsist that you want money.
