Kommissar Rex (Inspector Rex) (1994) s03e05 Episode Script

INSPECTOR REX Aha, here it is ANNA'S SECRE Come in.
Sorry, but your light was still on.
Dear colleague, my light's usually on.
I like working at night, undisturbed.
I'm so sorry, but I have to.
I think I've made a mistake.
I released a drug addict for burial.
The young woman from a few days back? She died of a self-administered overdose? Yes, heroin.
But the lab also found traces of strong sleeping pills.
I only got the results today.
They always take ages.
Staff shortage But those combinations aren't unusual.
Still would you please look at this? Gee! An unusually high dose of sleeping pills.
She didn't need the heroin overdose.
Right.
It looks like she was in a coma when she overdosed.
So someone else must have been involved.
Sorry, Richard, I can't help it.
My stomach still wants another portion.
I don't think there's anything left.
Not now, Rex.
I'm so comfortable right now.
Play with the dog while I look for more.
Work sharing Iike in a marriage.
All right, Rex.
I'll work off my food.
Exercise is good for you.
Moser.
Leo, know what time it is? You don't? I thought not.
What? Damn! Not you.
Want to play soccer? But you're the goal keeper.
Leo, that won't be easy.
HÃllerer and Rex are wrecking my place.
I'll look into it.
I knew it.
You guys are something! Couldn't you think of another game? You're trying to make me forget dessert.
Doctor Graf rang.
A dead girl was released for burial.
Now her death looks suspicious.
- When's the funeral? - Tomorrow morning.
She'll be cremated.
Time's running out.
Now, let me talk, sir.
We have the Forensics' report.
Doctor Graf confirms his colleague's results.
I know a second autopsy will be hard on the family.
Listen, if the body's cremated all the traces Bye.
Dear mourners We're gathered here today to bid a very sad farewell.
A farewell to a person who passed away far too early.
If the prosecutor doesn't ring soon we can forget it.
- What's stopping him? - No idea.
Apparently he's looking for a precedent which will cover him legally.
Hey! Thanks.
Respect! The training with us has paid off.
No.
You've eaten your ham roll.
Here is Richard's.
Put it on his desk.
When he returns from the funeral he might not feel like eating.
Right.
He'll be so depressed, he won't eat at all.
Besides, a roll goes stale very quickly.
If Richard doesn't want it I could eat it.
Well Whatever is on Richard's desk belongs to Rex, technically.
Hoping that only your life on earth ceased with your death we bid you farewell, Anna Elisabeth.
Excuse me.
I'm Moser, Crime Squad.
Sorry, but due to a judicial decree the cremation can't proceed.
I've got hold of the file.
At her place we found a syringe, a spoon, citrus juice.
Even traces of heroin.
My colleague was right.
She didn't inject herself.
- Have a look.
- There are several punctures.
All of the injections were simultaneous.
There isn't the faintest hint that she was a drug addict.
No hardened nerve fibres, enlarged spleen or hepatitis.
So she was murdered? Where were Forensics? They thought she was a typical drug addict.
- What will you do now? - Go back to her place.
Don't look at me.
You're the tracker dog.
Anna Foltyn lived and worked here.
Her father is a prosecutor, her mother a teacher.
Somebody's cleaned up well.
- What did she do? - Typical garden work.
The dog doesn't bark.
No trace of drugs.
A prosecutor She had the world at her feet.
Why did she work and live here? The head gardener told me she had green fingers.
Plants! The nursery's very isolated.
No cinema, no pub, nothing.
Would you like to live like that? Not really.
Hello, got a few minutes? Anna Foltyn worked with you, right? Yes.
And? How did you get on? Workwise and privately? We were workmates.
Nothing more.
She was a private person.
Why did she live and work here? To be independent of her parents.
Have you ever taken drugs? Why? We'd rather you answered yes or no.
No.
Do you know anyone who had reason to murder Anna? Anna was murdered? We suspect so.
She never harmed anyone.
She had no friends.
Her mother came sometimes.
Where are her things? Her parents took them away.
Are these all her things? I'd also like these films.
Is there anything else? That's all there is.
My wife has put away her clothes.
Do you want them too? No.
This will do.
We questioned your daughter's workmate thoroughly.
A Peter Thaler.
My wife said Thaler was chasing Anna.
No, he wasn't.
He adored her.
- Anna disliked it.
- I want to keep her.
You'd better take a close look at this Thaler.
I will.
Look, I very much want you to find my daughter's murderer.
I want that too.
We don't know why she was murdered.
Maybe she had friends in the drug scene.
Nothing points to that.
She hardly had any friends.
- Except you, Mrs Foltyn.
- Yes Yes I visited her often.
She had more contact with my wife than with me.
I was too authoritarian for her.
Was that the reason your daughter worked in that remote nursery? I think it was a protest against us.
She wanted to lead a different life.
More an alternative lifestyle.
She loved flowers and plants and wanted to live alone.
She wanted to do everything differently from us.
Looks like it.
Please keep me informed of further developments.
You can always reach me at my office.
Was there anyone else she trusted? - A teacher, a doctor? - Not that I know of.
All right, then.
We'll keep you informed.
Thanks for your help.
What is unusual about this? It's a normal family film.
Why did she take these? She liked plants, cooked organic food and used homeopathic medicines.
She would not use drugs.
But she knew her murderer.
There's no sign he forced his way in.
You mean Peter Thaler? Yes.
Maybe he talked her into trying drugs just once.
Then why the high dose of pills? It doesn't make sense.
Right.
And her dad a high-ranking judge.
And high-ranking at home.
Maybe she ran away from him.
HÃllerer, ring all medical insurers.
- She might have had treatment.
- I'm on my way.
That's him! His hair was longer then.
That's him, all right.
I'm sure.
His friend Dana moved out a few weeks ago.
He still owes the rent.
- What about this girl? - Yes I recognised her at once when you showed me the photo.
- She visited him a few times.
- Fine.
Thanks.
Bye.
Bye.
Hi, Richard.
I just visited the house where Thaler lived until recently.
It appears he was a drug addict.
Anna Foltyn visited him several times.
Exactly.
I'm off to the office.
Why did you lie to us? Anna Foltyn did visit you.
You liked her so much, you gave her drugs.
Not true.
Yes, I liked her.
But why would I give her drugs? Why not? You're an addict.
Hold on! I was.
But I'm clean now.
- Ask my doctor.
- We will.
Anna dies of an overdose and you're a former addict.
Things don't look good for you.
- I'm not involved in this.
- Good.
Be available.
Check whose badge this is.
Got another fine? Richard you were right.
Anna Foltyn was treated by a psychiatrist.
- For nearly nine months.
- Nine months? - By a Doctor Franz Wallner.
- I see.
Thanks.
Even a doctor has a life after work.
Not even his private number answers.
HÃllerer That's it.
Let's go home.
PATlENTS' CARD FlLE DR WALLNER DELETE DELETE Shut the door! Move away.
You need a rest, Richard.
Here, have a coffee.
Thanks.
There's something about this film.
But I can't work out what.
I've watched it ten times.
There's nothing to it.
Stay there, BÃck.
I'm coming over.
What's up? The psychiatrist has disappeared.
He didn't come to work, the receptionist is unsure why.
She can't explain it.
I'll drive over.
HÃllerer, ring all the hospitals and ask if a Dr Wallner's been admitted.
Shut the door.
Could he possibly have visited some friends? Of course.
But he'd have rung to say he was delayed.
He's never been late.
Excuse me.
I think something must have happened to him.
- Moser, from the police.
- What's going on? We don't know yet.
We're investigating.
- When did you see him last? - Last night.
- Leave the bird alone, Rex.
- I left at about 7 p.
m.
The doctor usually stays a bit longer.
Do you remember Anna Foltyn? She came several times.
Yes, a pretty young girl, but quiet.
She was murdered.
What? Anna is dead? That's terrible.
- But how can you - We just assume it.
- Can we see her file? - lmpossible! Not without the doctor's consent.
Look, if the two cases are connected we've more chance of finding Dr Wallner.
You're asking a lot of me.
We're sure to get authorisation, but it will take time.
Treatment for the past eight months.
Unsociable and withdrawn Rejects closer ties psychosomatic skin rashes Yes? Discussion therapy at first.
Thanks, HÃllerer.
We'll drive over.
A critically injured man was admitted yesterday.
Will you come along? It might be Dr Wallner.
I can't tell whether it is Dr Wallner.
We can't get any closer.
Richard, the doctor said he's not responsive.
- I've got his jacket.
- Does it look familiar? Yes.
It's his jacket all right.
He wore it last night.
Let's get back to Thaler.
Thaler! Come with us.
- Where were you at 8 p.
m? - At home, watching TV.
- Any witnesses? - No.
Anna Foltyn was having therapy.
Her doctor has been attacked.
Sad, but not my business.
I'm coming.
I'm off to the hospital.
Take him to the office.
He won't survive till tomorrow.
I must talk to him.
It's important.
I'm from the police.
I must ask you a few questions.
Use your fingers to answer me.
"Yes" is one tap.
"No" is two taps.
Do you understand? Good.
Did you see the person who hit you? You mean no.
You treated Anna Foltyn.
Was she addicted to drugs? She had Anna was raped? Who by? You! You got her addicted to high-grade heroin.
I'd never have given her drugs.
Never! Know what worries me? Anna's dead, the doctor's dead.
You had a motive, but no alibi.
I loved her.
I'd never have harmed her.
- I didn't do it.
Believe me.
- Why should l? Know what? I'll have a warrant issued for your arrest.
On suspicion of two murders and resisting arrest.
Stay there.
The antlers inside will excite you.
Mr Moser - Got any news? - Yes.
- We've arrested a suspect.
- Thaler? How can I help you if he's confessed? Who says he has? Your daughter was having treatment.
I came to talk to your wife.
That's not possible.
Her health is not the best.
The recent events were too much for her.
Why don't you talk to me? Maybe Anna told her things we can use against Thaler.
I told you it's not possible.
I can't let you for my wife's sake.
You would stir things up.
I can send a letter asking her to see us.
You can't force my wife to agree.
At any time I can give you a medical certificate stating that my wife is not well enough to be questioned.
But you want the murderer convicted.
We have only circumstantial evidence.
Then find real evidence! But don't make my wife suffer.
I can't.
My work's being obstructed.
I think you'd better leave.
And I'll lodge a complaint about you.
Whatever.
It's your problem.
Mine is solving two murder cases.
Right! Now do what you always do.
Make noise, then hide.
Understand? Your favourite game.
Make noise, then hide.
Come.
You know what to do now.
You must do it.
Off you go.
What are you doing here? Excuse me, but I must talk to you.
Your daughter had psychiatric treatment.
Did you know? Anna's dead.
What is there to talk about? Her psychiatrist, Dr Wallner, was also murdered.
Like your daughter.
You had a close relationship with Anna.
She never confided in anyone.
Only you can help us.
If it was Peter Thaler There's not enough evidence.
I can't help you.
Well done.
What did Moser want from you? Nothing.
I don't believe you.
Marie-Therese Think of us.
It's pointless.
We'll get through this together.
You again? Mrs Foltyn Your daughter was raped.
We should talk about it.
You're right.
But not now.
Come.
Come, Rex.
Go to her.
Go and play.
I looked at the film again and again.
And I noticed something.
When your husband tried to stroke Anna's dog she didn't let him.
It seemed to me that she didn't want him to do it She didn't want his affection.
When I found out Anna was about ten years old I threatened to tell the police.
But I was afraid of a scandal.
And that our family would be destroyed.
As soon as Anna turned 1 8, she immediately moved out.
Gone.
I suspected that my husband killed Anna.
I tried to ignore it.
My daughter was going to be in a TV show.
It was about abused children.
People rang us at home because the nursery had no phone.
My husband answered.
Did you know Dr Wallner? No But after her death we found a diary amongst her things where she'd noted her appointments.
But the doctor I'd never have thought Dr Foltyn As a prosecutor he knew that abused girls turn to drugs.
So she could well die of an overdose.
What shall I do? What's got into you? In your job you should be able to tell a witness from a suspect.
I'll make an official complaint.
Do your work and don't obstruct mine! I'm doing that, sir.
We have a new suspect.
That's why you asked me here? Couldn't you ring and tell me? I couldn't, Mr Foltyn.
I'm arresting you on suspicion of two murders.
What evidence do you have against me? Mrs Foltyn, you only have to sign your statement.
No, not again.
We're sorry, but you know how it is.
Mr BÃck wants to apologise to you.
I'm awfully sorry.
But at one stage it looked like you'd done it.
It's okay.
Now I know who killed her.
Her own father.
Yes.
Want a lift? No, I'd rather walk.
See you later.
We hope not.
