Series 5, Episode 2
1 INSPECTOR REX HORRIBLE TRUTH - Coming to play soccer? - My mum's coming.
- I'll go alone, then.
- Okay, bye.
Goodbye.
Thank you.
Please come again.
Do you mind cleaning up? I said I'd pick up Maximilian.
All right.
Lock up when you leave.
This is a hold-up.
Put everything in the suitcase.
Stay calm.
Are you crazy? Don't do this.
Please don't.
Come on, Rex, give it to me.
We can't keep everything.
Look, here's a new one.
Come on, we'll clear out the living room.
Got used to your new ball yet? Where's the old stuff? You're cleaning up this, okay? An officer will get the details of the dead and injured from you.
- It's really horrible.
- Yes.
Bye.
Hi.
Who found the body? Mr Holt.
He owns the shop.
Witnesses? No, I asked the neighbours.
No one saw the killer.
- Was there only one? - Yes, I saw the security video.
You wait here.
Look, there's a camera, another over there.
- Can you get the owner? - Sure.
One shot to the heart.
She died instantly.
- Any signs of a fight? - No, I didn't find any.
She was killed in cold blood.
- And the other employee? - She was lucky.
The brooch helped to lessen the impact of the bullet.
- Can I talk to her? - No, she's unconscious.
The doctor said she'll survive, but she lost a lot of blood and she's in shock.
- Thanks.
- That's all right.
- Brandtner.
- Holt.
- Can you list the stolen items? - Sure, but it will take time.
- What did you have here? - Mostly the cheaper goods.
I guess these are less cheap? They're custom-made.
Why did he only take the cheap stuff? - How much was in the till? - Just a second.
May I? The names of your employees? Eva Kordes, who survived, has been here 5 years.
She's divorced and lives with her son Maximilian.
- And the dead woman? - Sophie Neff, she was single.
Mummy! Let me go! Please stay here.
Are you Maximilian? That's not your mother.
- You're lying.
- No, that's Miss Neff.
Where's my mummy? Your mummy's in hospital.
Okay? - It's not true, you're lying.
- I'm not.
Ask Rex, if you don't believe me.
Nonsense, dogs can only bark.
Don't be so sure.
Come on.
Only bark! Him! - What do you say now? - Not bad.
Call back soon, Mr Kordes.
Thank you.
No chase, hey Rex? Alex? Yes? Back in a second, okay? His father's not home.
Should I take him to Child Minders? He can stay with us.
His father will be at the concert hall later.
- Are you hungry? - Yes.
- Pizza? Hamburger? - Got any ham rolls? Yes.
Welcome to the club.
A cola with it? Yes, please.
Brandtner here, can I have five ham rolls and a cola? Thanks.
Did you see that? Rewind it a bit.
- Looks like a dictaphone.
- It is a dictaphone.
I guess he didn't want his voice recognised.
And he knew where the camera was.
We'll concentrate on the owner.
- Where was he, actually? - He says in a café.
Can you follow it up? I'll watch the other tape.
Can't HÃllerer do it? Damn, he's on holiday.
I've told you already.
It was just before twelve.
I went straight to my shop to get the day's takings before going to the bank.
I found the two women and called the police right away.
But the waiter said you left at 11.
30.
Earlier than usual.
He's wrong.
Maybe you are.
I'll show you again.
Press red three times and green once.
Right, now it's your turn.
Bravo, Rex.
You're a real talent.
Here's your reward.
"Practice makes perfect" my dad says.
Hi, there.
Do you want to be a musician, like your dad? I think so.
You should hear him play.
The hospital called.
Your mum's okay.
- Are you going there? - We're going.
Don't worry too much.
The doctor said she's fine.
- Is she in pain? - No, not at all.
- She gets painkillers.
- How long will she sleep? I'm not sure.
But sleeping helps her get well.
Can I go in there? No, not yet.
Tomorrow, the nurse said.
Come on.
He must really like you.
He always sits in the front.
Thanks, Rex.
- Are we going to my dad? - Yes.
You'll be impressed.
- Doesn't he play well? - Wonderfully.
Wait, the piece is almost finished.
You weren't hired to play, but to tune the piano.
- Is it ready yet? - Soon.
Don't forget the rehearsal pianos.
He didn't always tune pianos.
- No? - Daddy! Maximilian, what are you doing here? Of course I'll look after Maximilian.
Do you know your son's very proud of you? Proud, of me? I just tune pianos.
My concert days are over.
How did that happen, by the way? An accident.
I have to ask you a question.
Of course, it's your job.
- Where were you at 12 o'clock? - At home, as always.
- I was playing the piano.
- It sounds better on the piano.
Rex, you must practise, practise, practise I'll show you again.
- Did she say something? - Rewind it again.
Sorry, I can't tell.
Too bad I can't lip-read.
- Thanks, Christian.
- Thanks for what? Get the Deaf Institute to send us someone who can.
I'll get it enlarged.
What about him? Later.
I only just found out from the police.
- How is she? - Not bad, considering Don't worry, she's in good hands.
- When can I talk to her? - Tomorrow, at the earliest.
When can I see her? Please tomorrow.
Now go home and don't worry.
I'd like to know what that woman is saying.
No problem.
- Can you rerun it? - Yes, of course.
She said "Are you crazy?" "Don't do this.
" - She recognised him.
- Yes.
The jeweller was close to Mrs Kordes.
It could be him.
Thanks very much.
- Bye.
- That's okay.
He looks quite nervous.
He looks really strained.
- I'll question him.
- Yes.
If you play like that you'll tune pianos too.
- What's that? - F sharp.
- What did you play? - F.
- What's that? - E.
- What did you play? - F.
How long do you practise a day? An hour.
An hour? Only one hour? I told you to play for at least three hours a day.
Mummy is just too lenient.
You want to be a pianist, don't you? You want to be a great pianist.
Then you must practise, practise, practise! You're thinking about Mummy, aren't you? I'm sure she'll be all right soon.
We'll visit her tomorrow and then I'll go to her flat and get your things.
You'll stay with me until she's well.
All right? Right.
Now let's play something together.
- It wasn't me! - Stop screaming! It's all right, Rex.
From the café to your home is about a five-minute walk.
You left the café so you had enough time to change and do the robbery.
That's absurd! - What did you do then? - I left the cafe later! The waiter disagrees.
This is a trap.
You've got no proof.
And the video? She recognised you.
I don't know who she recognised.
Definitely not me.
We'll know tomorrow when we interview her.
Well, until then you're our guest.
Thanks very much! Did you notice his eyes? Alcohol or drugs Assume it was him.
He comes into the shop, shoots the camera over the till, and much later the second one.
Why? He knows where it is.
Maybe he hired someone.
What's wrong, Rex? What are you doing? Robert What happened here? - Rex, careful.
- I'll have the exits blocked.
You've done all the work again, Rex.
- Take this off me.
- All right, all right.
My colleagues won't like this mess.
If you're innocent, why did you run away? I just don't know why I did.
You have to believe me, I didn't do the robbery.
Please let me go.
- You need a hit, right? - No.
I need a bit of heroin.
Tell us the truth and you'll see a doctor.
The waiter is right, I left the café at 11.
30.
- Where did you go? - I met an acquaintance who - Who sold you some stuff? - Yes, but Name, address and telephone number.
Soon you'll have a real bed.
- Will you tell me a story? - Of course.
- Like you used to? - Sure, I'll think of one.
Will you and Mum make up? I'll look after you now.
I'll make you a real pianist.
Please tell me the story now.
Well Once there was a small piano.
It had its first big concert and it was very nervous.
It stood on the stage with the orchestra and waited for its cue.
All the others were playing, when suddenly the drum and the trumpet made an incredible noise.
It got such a fright it missed its cue.
Rex, it's 4.
30 in the morning! You'll make it to the Philharmonic.
No more practising.
Rex, please let me sleep.
If you don't stop now, there'll be no more ham rolls.
She didn't have any problems overnight.
When can I talk to her? Not before the afternoon.
Only Maximilian's allowed to see his mother briefly.
Come on, Maximilian.
Bye, Mum.
I put some sandwiches in your backpack.
And don't forget your piano lesson.
- Excuse me.
- Yes? Was Mr Kordes at home yesterday? Of course, I heard him.
I've complained about him.
What happened? Nothing! Do you know how annoying that is? - So you heard him playing? - Yes.
- When? - He started around midday and thumped on till about 2 p.
m.
- What did he play? - Something classical.
I prefer folk music myself.
Did you see Mr Kordes come in or leave afterwards? I don't spy on people.
What do you think I am? - I'm sorry.
Goodbye.
- All right.
The dealer denies having sold heroin to Holt.
What did you expect? The jeweller isn't our man, he had no motive.
I called Taxation.
His shop is doing well, why should he rob it? Drug money.
So why did he leave the good stuff? Have you seen Kordes yet? He wasn't home, only his strange neighbour.
And? - He only heard him playing.
- And Kordes's motive? What are you doing here? That man said children aren't allowed here.
Why did he shoot them? Mrs Kordes recognised him and he lost it.
That's possible.
But What if we've got it all wrong? Perhaps the robbery was just a pretext.
That might explain why he left the expensive stuff.
- Where have you been? - At school.
I'd like to ask you a few questions, okay? - About your dad's finger - We went skiing.
He fell and Mum couldn't brake.
She ran over his finger with her ski.
- Was your dad angry? - Only after the operation.
He screamed at her and said it was her fault he couldn't play well any more.
- And then? - They always argued.
Daddy moved out, but now it will be okay.
- That's what he said? - Yes, he did.
He wants me to be a great pianist.
- I must see Mrs Eck.
- Eck? My piano teacher.
- Will you visit us again? - Sure, bye.
There's a possible motive.
The little finger's bent.
- It's Kordes.
- He wants the child.
He faked the robbery and shot her.
I'll call someone to pick up Maximilian.
- Which ward? - 5.
Ward 5, quickly.
I don't believe it! They've put me on hold.
I'll buy you flowers.
Lots of them.
Narcissi.
I know you like them.
You gave me Maximilian.
I'll nurture his talent.
I'll look after him now.
He'll play in the finest concert halls.
Pity, you won't witness his fame.
You never believed in him.
Thanks for the good times the few.
Sleep well, darling.
Rex, wait here.
Call a doctor.
No, that's a 16th.
Start again, and pay attention.
The middle voice is too strong.
Play it more evenly.
Don't slow down, nice and even.
Very good, Maximilian.
That's it for today.
You'll get three gingerbread as a reward.
Can't I stay and keep practising? I'm sorry, you can't.
The next pupil's waiting.
But you can stay and watch if you like.
No, watching is boring.
I'll wait next door.
- I've got a surprise.
- What? Go and get your things.
Rex has lost the scent.
Mrs Kordes must have a guardian angel Where was the nurse? In another room.
The oxygen tube came off.
- I've got a man guarding her.
- Great.
What? Stay in the flat, please.
Maximilian has left the piano teacher's.
His father collected him and they've gone.
Or he thinks he's safe.
Come on.
Close your eyes.
Leave them closed.
- Can I open them now? - No, not yet.
No cheating.
- What is this? - You'll see.
Open your eyes.
For me? This is how it will be.
You make your entrance and then bow to the audience.
Do a bow.
And then, you go to the piano.
- How does it feel? - Really exciting.
May we begin? You're right.
He's quite sure of himself.
We have to get the boy out.
I'll try on the left side.
You try round the back, okay? Bravo, Maximilian.
Can you wait outside? I have to talk to your dad.
Maximilian stays here.
I don't have secrets from my son.
- Isn't he talented? - Please send him outside.
Dad, why should I go outside? - What do you want? - I was at the hospital.
- Mummy! - No It's okay, your mum's fine.
You're under arrest.
We'll see.
- Dad! - Stay there, hands off the gun.
Dad, what's going on? I'll explain later.
It's all a mistake.
Let the boy go.
You don't want to harm him.
Call him off! - What did you do? - Don't scream! - Give up, Mr Kordes.
- No one takes my boy away! - We won't do that.
- Stay there! I'm taking Maximilian.
Don't do anything rash.
Let's go.
- I'll go alone, then.
- Okay, bye.
Goodbye.
Thank you.
