Kommissar Rex (Inspector Rex) (1994) s02e07 Episode Script

INSPECTOR REX DEADLY CHASE Morning, Hansi.
Here you go.
You need to be spoiled too.
- Cute, isn't he? - You're going all soft.
Young Police lnspector Arrests Serial Killer Why are you feeding the bird so much? Trying to kill it? Well, you never know what might happen.
- We could come back late.
- Or not at all.
Look we could be celebrating all night.
Right? - But first get me a beer.
- Yes, Mum.
We won't forget you.
When we come back, Mrs Groh, we'll drink champagne.
I don't like champagne.
I'll have a beer.
Yes.
We'll be back soon.
Maybe you'll have champagne then.
Hey! Where are you off to so early? To check something.
And you? It's my day off.
I made breakfast for Mum.
- Good girl.
- I sure am! - I'll drop by later.
- Will you? - When's your mum coming? - Tonight.
- When will you come? - Later.
Can't you wait? If you were my lover, I could.
But with Erich, it's different.
- Nice to hear it.
- Hurry up.
- Keep it warm for me, baby.
- Sure.
See you later.
- I'm very nervous.
- Don't worry.
I checked it carefully.
Nothing can go wrong.
- And if it does? - This isn't my first time.
Stay cool and you've won.
- One time you didn't win.
- One time doesn't count.
Anyway, I barely injured the cop who shot me.
Sadly, I only grazed him.
Sadly? Just as well or you'd still be in jail.
No way! Sooner or later I'd have done a bunk.
- Got everything? - Sure.
I didn't want your mum to see.
Her! She couldn't care.
Thank God! Or I couldn't live with you.
You're my friend.
You'll see.
It'll be a piece of cake.
We'll pull this off and a new life will begin.
Morning.
Good morning.
Stop! Your case! No false moves! The case! Shit! Look, isn't this beautiful? Nice.
When do we go downhill? After the next bend.
I could kill the guy who invented the phone! Moser.
Hi, Stocki.
No, I'm just What? What's up? Fine, I'll be there.
- That's our run for today.
- What happened? There's been a wages heist.
Two dead.
Rex Don't just sit there.
Help me find my things and clean up.
I'm helping because you're in a hurry.
I'll help you undress tonight.
- Now my shoes.
- Which ones? I don't care.
Perhaps I do care.
Richard! - What is it? - You forgot something.
This! Be careful.
These bullet holes were made by a submachine gun.
The dead man fired only one shot.
I see.
Now we must identify him.
- Fingerprints taken? - Of course.
- Good.
Send them off to - I already have.
Hi, Richard.
- What about the second guard? - You know there were two? There always are with large sums, right? - Also with small amounts.
- You win, there were two.
The other is wounded, but will survive.
I didn't talk to him.
He was taken away by ambulance.
- Any witnesses? - A bank employee.
She greeted the guards, then two masked men came from there.
One had a machine gun.
That's all she saw.
She ran for cover.
A pity.
What was in the case? Five million schillings in various currencies.
Hi They deliver every other Monday.
The robber took the case.
- Do we know who he is? - Not yet.
But we have his fingerprints.
They're being checked, right? What if he has no previous record? Then he won't be on our files.
The bank employee noticed that the raiders were very nervous.
Or the guards would have handed over the case without shooting.
Yes, and the insurance would cover it.
Stockinger.
Hello.
Good.
It's Höllerer.
His fingerprints are on file.
I'm listening.
Fritz Groh, born on 3 November 1 961.
Two convictions for shoplifting.
Address? Bittner Weg, 32-56.
I know it.
The big council block outside town.
Thanks.
Bye.
Wasn't it your beat once? It sure was.
My regulars lived there.
Before you could get inside, beer bottles would hit you.
- Recognise his name? - Another generation.
I was always going there.
Break-ins, robbery, assault, you name it.
Imagine, a block with 500 flats! All right, then.
Let's take some police there.
Gabi Open up, it's me.
I didn't expect you back so soon.
What is it? Nothing.
So let's continue.
No time.
Look after this case.
That's it? - Won't you say what happened? - No.
Stay here till I ring you.
What's in the case? You know nothing and I wasn't here.
Got that? We're here, the courtyards are there.
Check all of them.
Check everyone who fits the description.
Okay? You two come with me.
Look, I'm really sorry about Fritz.
But nobody could have foreseen that they'd start shooting.
Those idiots.
I just wanted to tell you that.
I'm off now because of the police.
My Fritz was always a good boy.
Hello, Mrs Groh.
It's me, Otto.
The police are here.
I called because I saw your son's friend run away.
The police are outside.
Who was it? Votava.
That Votava's all right.
Moser! Who? The cop who shot me.
I swore I'd get even with him.
I'll send you some money later, Mrs Groh.
I don't need it.
Mrs Groh Fritz Your Fritz was a good boy.
We'll try one more time.
You can't afford to be soft here.
Open up, police! Open up! Well? Let's force the door.
- Mrs Groh - Yes? Where's your son? No idea.
Something's happened to your son.
Your son's dead, Mrs Groh.
Do you understand? He was killed during an armed robbery.
My Fritz is a good boy.
Your son was shot dead by a security guard.
One of the guards was killed too.
Can we take a look around? Thank you.
Your son was working with an accomplice.
Do you know who he is and where we could find him? My Fritz is a good boy.
Sure, he is.
Maybe his friend pushed him into this job? I think you know who he is.
Nothing, Rex.
Rex, is he there? Stocki Have a look at this.
An escape route via the attics.
It probably leads you to the other stairs.
I'll check it out.
You continue here.
Rex, wait a minute.
Come, Rex.
Pretty busy down there.
The cop who shot me in the leg is there too.
He's acting pretty cocky.
No way you can escape now.
Then I'll stay here till things have calmed down.
They can't search all 500 flats.
You want to stay longer? No problem.
If they come here I just won't open.
You're a good bloke, Votava.
If you need anything, tell me.
You could buy my next fix.
- What? - Yes.
I rang you when the pigs came.
The radio broadcast the robbery.
- So what do you want from me? - Not much.
I need money.
Let's say half.
Are you crazy? I worked for the money and you try to take it from me? Hey I heard on the radio that one guard was killed.
Groh won't need cash any more.
- You filthy swine.
- I'll call the police.
I'm with the police.
Who did this? Get lost.
- I'll call an ambulance.
- Get lost, I said.
Höllerer, wait a second.
Any news? Forget Groh's mother.
She won't talk.
I have no news either.
Where's Richard? No idea.
He and Rex are following an escape route.
So let's wait.
Stocki What's up? The scent leads to the cellar.
Is there another exit? Yes.
The cellars are interconnected.
You can find your way to all parts of the block.
Okay.
I'll check it out, then.
You? Yes, it's me.
Down! Down! Tell them outside to let me pass.
Or I'll kill him.
All right, Fuchs.
Okay.
Okay.
I'd hurry, if I were you! Stockinger! He's coming out with a hostage.
Let him go.
- Is that your van? - Yes.
Did you get the number plate? Call it through.
Hey, you.
- Do you know what you did? - Richard! No, you don't.
Richard! - Are you okay? - Yes.
It's just a scratch.
We heard shots and were going to attack.
Just as well you didn't.
He'd have gone crazy.
Erich Fuchs.
- You know him? - We met at police school.
- What? - Yes.
He was expelled for petty theft and he became a criminal.
I remember it.
That was my first case.
- Didn't he shoot at you? - Yes, it was big drama.
I asked him to come forward without his gun.
Then he suddenly opened fire.
- How could he? - He had a second gun.
I shot him in the leg.
He's limped ever since.
The whole thing was mad.
Drive on! You're dead if you don't.
Get out! Out of there.
Gabi It's me.
Is everything okay? - Yes.
- Listen.
Get the case and bring it to the Water Tower.
There are police everywhere.
How can I get it out? Think of something.
- I'll wait by the Tower.
- Be careful.
Things don't look too good for you, Mrs Groh.
Your son and Erich Fuchs robbed the security guards.
We know that.
And it seems Fuchs lived here, too.
And you expect me to believe you knew nothing? My Fritz was a good boy.
But that's over now, Mrs Groh.
We only ask one thing of you.
Help us to find Erich Fuchs.
I don't know a thing.
All right.
Erich Fuchs obviously lived here for quite a while.
Isn't that right, Mrs Groh? He was released from prison and he couldn't find a job.
He had nowhere to live.
What would you know about these things? - Congratulations on your baby.
- Thanks.
- Is it a boy or a girl? - Cut it out! Get lost or someone will bash the other side! I didn't dob in your boyfriend.
Let's settle this nicely.
Hands off! What boyfriend? Get lost! - You'd do anything for a fix.
- Shut up and give me the case! - You swine! Erich will kill you! - The cops will Are you mad? There are pigs everywhere.
You're quite right.
The hostage, a maintenance worker, was released unharmed.
Police suspect that Erich Fuchs got away in a stolen car.
It's a a VW Golf, registration W-283-VN.
Warning! Erich Fuchs is heavily armed and dangerous.
That was the news.
Now to the weather.
Out of my way! - We're about to close.
- Get out! Anybody up there? I'm armed! Down, Rex! Erich Fuchs! Moser here! We have your girlfriend Gabi Schmelzer.
We also have the money.
It's pointless to continue.
Understand, Fuchs? Fuchs! You know you can't escape from here.
Give yourself up! Come up here! Without a weapon! All right.
Are you crazy? Don't go up.
He'll kill you.
Any better ideas? - Storm the place.
- Yes.
He has us covered and may have hostages.
If he goes wild there will be a bloodbath.
See that banner? Take it down and fasten a gun to one rope.
The one on the right, okay? I'm coming up! What if he spots the gun? He can't, it's in a blind spot.
He'd have to lean way out.
Give it a try? Rex, you stay here with Stockinger.
You can't come with me.
Come on.
Good dog.
He'll be back soon.
I hope.
Fuchs! I'm here.
Come on up.
Long time no see.
Arsehole.
Stay here, Rex! Strip.
I'm unarmed.
Not like you that time.
I never followed your rules.
Where's the dog? - He ran into the tower.
- Why didn't you stop him? Who do you think is faster? Him or me? All this drama before we could talk.
- We could have talked any time.
- You're joking, eh? Talk to me? The police school expelled me.
And you're talking to me? No.
Someone like me must go to prison.
Rubbish.
I started the same way as you did, Erich.
I wanted out, that's all.
The star pupil, I know.
Not everyone's lucky like you.
Look at me! My leg's stuffed.
- But that's not the only thing.
- Crap! You shot at me first.
Didn't you? And you hit me.
What's that? - What's up there? - What? Nothing.
- You're lying! - Calm down.
There's nothing.
- Richard.
- Are you crazy? I told him not to go up there.
I did.
Right! Let's storm the place.
- The door is in the firing line.
- We've no choice.
Rex, come here.
Come here.
Pull it up! Pull it! Fuchs! It's pointless.
Throw your weapon away and come down.
Don't forget I have Moser up here.
Don't do anything silly, Fuchs.
You're outnumbered.
You can't get out of here with or without Moser.
It's pointless.
Fuchs! Erich! - You don't stand a chance! - Nor do you, Moser.
Richard Sonja what brings you here? I just heard it on the news.
Moser Tell me one thing Where did you hide your second weapon? I didn't hide it, Erich.
I didn't.
He still doesn't get it.
- Does it hurt? - No.
Even a vet could treat it.
