Woman of the Dead (Totenfrau)

Help!

Didn't you measure him? That can't possibly be right.

Bend his legs?

Not with legs this long.

The Pichlers can't afford a custom model.

I'll take care of it.

Mr. Pichler, I hope you won't hold this against me.

Not at all.

What would I need those 15 centimeters for now?

Morning.

Morning.

When did you get home?

Late.

You were already asleep.

Was it a long day?

Yes. Long and...

complicated.

I missed you.

Get up.

-But, Mom, I don't want to. -Come on. Up you get.

Only on this number.

Keep calm.

I'll be in touch.

-Who was that? -Just a work thing.

What's that phone?

I just got a new case.

Let me get ready.

POLICE

Mom, how do you manage to ruin toast?

-It's a fine art, sweetie. -Give up. That's what we have grandpa for.

We have to go, Tim.

I've got PE first period, and I still have to change.

-Bye, my big girl. -Bye, Dad.

-Bye. -Bye.

Right.

-Sandwich? -Yes.

-Homework? -Yes.

-Insulin? -Yes.

-Yeah. -Boom!

-Have a good day! -Bye!

You haven't shaved.

I'll do it later.

My colleagues can handle a bit of stubble.

Morning, Dad.

-Morning. -Morning.

You two are so silly.

Yum.

Mark.

Mark.

Mark!

Mark! Oh God!

No!

Any news?

I thought you were already on vacation.

On vacation?

He put in for it yesterday, on short notice.

Maybe it was supposed to be a surprise.

I don't like surprises.

I don't know either.

I'm so very sorry, Mrs. Blum.

There was nothing more we could do for him.

Your husband just passed away.

Blum, I'm very sorry.

-Mark was... -Yes, he was.

Come on.

What are you doing?

No one but me touches him.

Mark wouldn't want this.

There's lots Mark wouldn't want.

Like, being dead. He certainly wouldn't want that.

It's different with strangers.

Reza, you know what I like best about you?

That you can keep quiet.

You promised!

You...

Please come back.

I need you.

I can't do this without you.

I can't do anything without you.

When someone who is so close to us

is torn away from us so senselessly,

we always ask ourselves, and rightfully so, the same question.

How could God let this happen?

The answer can be found in the Bible.

John, 14:5-6.

"Thomas said to him,

'Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way?'"

"Jesus answered, 'I am the way and the truth and the life.'

'No one comes to the Father except through me.'

'If you really know me, you will know my Father as well.'"

My condolences.

My condolences.

My condolences.

Blum.

If there's anything you need, no matter what, call me.

Anytime.

Find the driver of that Rover. That's what I need.

We'll find him. I promise.

What a godforsaken place this is.

It takes away all that is dear to us.

What a godforsaken place this is.

It's all right, Mr. Theile.

I'm sorry.

Come, Gerda, let's go home.

My name is Nela, not Gerda.

Oh, yes, right.

Right.

Sorry.

A godforsaken place.

He lost his daughter when she was 17. He hasn't been the same since.

They are here.

They won't find anything.

Let's hope so.

Hello, Blum.

I'm glad you came.

Everyone else is here.

Even Mrs. Schönborn, right?

Indeed.

The snow queen herself.

Bertl Puch prepared everything himself.

My dear Mrs. Blum.

What a horrible accident.

My heartfelt condolences to you both.

Thanks for making the effort, Mrs. Schönborn.

With pleasure.

Mark was an excellent police officer.

We will miss him.

All of us here are one big family.

Yes, one big family.

-Very big. -Yes.

And Mark, he was one of our best, wasn't he?

My heartfelt condolences.

I'll do my best to provide a little comfort.

Mark and I wanted to celebrate our tenth anniversary here.

We couldn't get a reservation.

I am sorry.

I assure you, from now on whenever you come, you will get a table.

Please excuse me.

What was it?

They want to do due diligence after all.

We must forgive Mrs. Schönborn's business acumen.

Without her, Bad Annenhof wouldn't even be on the map.

Just very briefly.

To me, Mark wasn't just a colleague I could count on.

Most of all, he was a good friend.

And a special person.

Once, we received an alarm from an ATM at Hauptplatz.

So we quickly made our way there and come across a Syrian asylum seeker

holding a screwdriver.

When he saw us coming

he immediately dropped the screwdriver and put his hands out to be cuffed.

But Mark...

approached him and started talking to him.

About his home country

and about how he's doing, and what he must have been through.

He listened to him.

And instead of arresting him,

Mark took him home in the end,

and even offered him a job working for his wife.

A job he still has today.

He asked you too, my dear Blum, but not until afterwards, huh?

Always seeing the person first and not the criminal.

People like that are rare.

Very rare.

I'll miss him.

-To Mark. -To Mark.

Thank you.

To Mark.

To Mark.

Let us sing a song for our hero.

We're going.

Stop!

So sorry.

Blum, I just wanted to tell you that I can imagine

how difficult it must have been to come here today.

My colleagues and I really appreciate it.

By the way, perhaps you can drop by sometime

and bring in Mark's police gun.

It must still be at your place.

Didn't he have it with him?

That morning, I mean.

It's not that important. We'll be seeing you, right?

Goodbye then!

That's 43,50.

-Do you record 24/7? -Yes.

Have the police been here about that?

Police?

Nope.

Thanks.

Yes, hello, Blum. How are you?

I'd be better if someone in this dump

was looking for the driver of the Rover.

But we are, day and night. The skid marks are...

Day and night?

What about the surveillance cameras in the village?

The gas station camera points at the main road.

None of you have been there, not one.

Calm down. That won't help.

Should I go to the paper? Would you act then?

We want to find the bastard just as much as you.
