00:23.833 --> 00:27.625
<i>There was a time when I was truly happy.</i>

00:28.291 --> 00:31.000
<i>I had a sister</i>
<i>three years younger than me.</i>

00:32.041 --> 00:33.666
<i>Her name was Anna.</i>

00:34.625 --> 00:36.000
<i>I loved her.</i>

00:36.500 --> 00:37.625
<i>So very much.</i>

00:50.041 --> 00:52.458
<i>I should have taken better care of her.</i>

01:12.541 --> 01:16.958
<i>In the psychiatric ward,</i>
<i>they told me I had to be patient.</i>

01:18.416 --> 01:21.041
<i>That it just takes time.</i>

01:27.125 --> 01:29.625
<i>After months, I made a decision.</i>

01:31.625 --> 01:33.833
<i>I found myself a new publisher,</i>

01:34.750 --> 01:37.625
<i>took on a different name, and…</i>

01:38.916 --> 01:42.250
<i>I told no one about my sister.</i>

01:47.333 --> 01:48.333
Come in.

02:00.000 --> 02:03.083
The publishing company's guest villa.
I'd sell it to you…

02:04.375 --> 02:05.708
on reasonable terms.

02:06.541 --> 02:07.541
Let's say…

02:08.125 --> 02:11.625
Fifty percent of your next five books.

02:22.000 --> 02:24.375
<i>That was ten years ago.</i>

02:29.958 --> 02:32.666
<i>The perpetrator has still not been caught.</i>

02:34.416 --> 02:35.416
<i>And I…</i>

02:36.208 --> 02:40.041
<i>I haven't left the house since I moved in.</i>

02:44.041 --> 02:45.708
<i>It works for me.</i>

02:48.125 --> 02:50.208
<i>I feel safe here.</i>

02:55.375 --> 02:58.625
<i>Only the people closest to me</i>
<i>know where I live.</i>

03:00.666 --> 03:04.833
<i>And only my therapist</i>
<i>knows about my sister.</i>

03:13.250 --> 03:16.333
Hey, buddy, did you have fun outside?

03:16.416 --> 03:17.541
Did you have fun?

03:20.208 --> 03:21.583
<i>I still write,</i>

03:22.250 --> 03:25.875
<i>and not only does my imagination</i>
<i>make me a lot of money,</i>

03:26.416 --> 03:28.625
<i>it also lets me travel.</i>

03:42.583 --> 03:46.375
<i>Buongiorno</i>, Signora.
I have the best table for you today.

03:46.916 --> 03:48.208
Good morning, Signorina.

03:48.291 --> 03:50.958
Signora! Good morning, Signora!

03:51.041 --> 03:53.291
Please, come over here.

03:53.375 --> 03:55.250
I have beautiful olives.

03:55.333 --> 03:58.541
Here, try one.
If you like, you can buy some.

No, everything… Everything's fine.

08:31.625 --> 08:33.208
From your agent.

08:33.291 --> 08:35.708
She sends her regards.

08:35.791 --> 08:38.458
A not-so-subtle reminder, if you ask me.

08:41.541 --> 08:43.875
If you could put them in some water…

08:43.958 --> 08:45.125
- You okay?
- Yes.

08:45.916 --> 08:50.416
…put the groceries away,

I'll be back on Wednesday, okay?

09:00.000 --> 09:03.000
- If you need anything sooner--
- I'll call, Yuma. Thank you.

09:05.583 --> 09:06.416
Okay.

09:12.833 --> 09:16.125
Everything from the mailbox
is in the kitchen.

09:17.250 --> 09:20.375

<i>- Please tell me--</i>
- A murder almost ten years ago.

12:49.208 --> 12:50.625
Ten years ago?

12:53.666 --> 12:54.666
Yes?

12:56.166 --> 12:57.250
I'm listening.

12:58.291 --> 13:01.916

13:02.000 --> 13:04.791

they know the murderer?

Ms…

13:38.333 --> 13:42.458
But it's not so unusual that…

13:43.625 --> 13:49.208
old cases are solved using DNA,

13:49.291 --> 13:53.416
what's known as a genetic fingerprint.

13:56.625 --> 13:58.666
Since 1998…

13:58.750 --> 13:59.916
INVESTIGATION CLOSED

14:00.000 --> 14:03.083
…this data has been stored nationwide.

14:03.708 --> 14:06.750

14:08.125 --> 14:09.125
<i>Yes.</i>

14:21.833 --> 14:23.375
Ms. Wilking?

14:28.291 --> 14:31.208
Ms. Wilking,
my colleague has told you several times

14:31.291 --> 14:34.625
<i>that the investigation</i>
<i>into your sister's case has been closed</i>

14:35.250 --> 14:38.375
<i>and that we will contact you</i>
<i>if there's anything new.</i>

14:46.958 --> 14:48.583
<i>They'll never believe me.</i>

14:49.875 --> 14:51.416
<i>No one will believe me.</i>

14:53.208 --> 14:55.000
I need his DNA.

15:32.958 --> 15:34.125
<i>Calm.</i>

15:35.000 --> 15:36.208
Stay calm.

15:41.916 --> 15:43.250
Calm.

15:45.291 --> 15:46.291
Hello.

15:49.291 --> 15:50.458
Robert Lenzen.

15:52.916 --> 15:55.000
Thank you for granting me this interview.

15:58.041 --> 15:59.750
Come on. Inside.

16:01.791 --> 16:03.000
Come, Bukowski.

16:08.458 --> 16:09.666
Feeling better?

16:10.583 --> 16:12.041
Yes, much better.

16:31.083 --> 16:33.833
Could you make Dr. Anger her coffee
before you leave?

16:33.916 --> 16:36.500
- I'll be ready in five minutes.
- Sure.

16:49.875 --> 16:50.875
Hey, Rainer.

16:53.875 --> 16:55.833
- Hey.
- Leon.

16:56.541 --> 16:58.958
Lisa Wilking just called for you.

17:02.125 --> 17:04.125
The last time was…

17:05.666 --> 17:07.416
almost two years ago.

17:11.291 --> 17:13.208
- Did anything happen?
- No.

17:14.083 --> 17:18.125
I checked already.
There's no new report against her.

17:24.166 --> 17:25.375
I'll make a note of it.

17:41.000 --> 17:43.625
Ms. Konrad,
I know that these imaginary trips

17:43.708 --> 17:46.541
are a very important diversion for you.

17:46.625 --> 17:50.458
At the same time,
you mustn't isolate yourself any furth…

17:52.083 --> 17:53.541
Aren't you feeling well?

17:53.625 --> 17:54.916
You look very pale.

17:57.583 --> 17:59.541
I ate too many antipasti yesterday.

18:16.333 --> 18:18.208
How was your last "trip"?

18:19.166 --> 18:21.416
Nice. Italy inspires me.

18:22.083 --> 18:24.125
I like the food, the music…

18:24.208 --> 18:26.333
Rome is my favorite city.

18:27.750 --> 18:29.041
Did you meet anyone?

18:30.875 --> 18:31.875
My sister.

18:33.416 --> 18:37.916
It was only briefly.
I was so happy to see her.

18:38.000 --> 18:39.458
No blood this time?

18:41.583 --> 18:42.958
Only her Vespa was red.

19:01.166 --> 19:03.041
I saw the Monster again.

19:07.000 --> 19:07.916
The same dream?

19:10.041 --> 19:12.458
A flashback again, and fainting?

19:12.541 --> 19:15.875
No, I recognized his face right away.
Even after ten years.

19:17.916 --> 19:19.750
He looked older than back then?

19:20.333 --> 19:21.708
That's new.

19:21.791 --> 19:23.333
Interesting.

19:25.208 --> 19:28.458
- Did you ask him in your dream whether--
- It wasn't a dream.

19:28.541 --> 19:29.500
Excuse me?

19:29.583 --> 19:31.625
It was real. I saw him on TV.

19:35.291 --> 19:38.333
I believe that's what you perceived,
Ms. Konrad.

19:39.166 --> 19:42.875
But what you're saying gives me pause.

19:42.958 --> 19:45.083
Because I'm mad and watch too much TV?

19:45.166 --> 19:47.916
Because you're traumatized
and have an anxiety disorder.

19:49.083 --> 19:51.166
I can adjust your medication.

19:52.666 --> 19:54.958
If you feel an acute episode coming on--

19:55.041 --> 19:56.375
I'm good.

20:04.458 --> 20:06.000
We have time.

20:13.000 --> 20:16.208
I'd like to get back to my desk,
if that's all right with you.

20:18.875 --> 20:20.958
You've started a new book?

20:24.625 --> 20:26.166
Okay, if…

20:26.250 --> 20:29.250
If you've just entered a creative phase…

20:30.458 --> 20:32.125
That explains a few things.

20:32.708 --> 20:34.041
You know what?

20:34.125 --> 20:38.750
I think we actually should finish
a little early today.

20:38.833 --> 20:40.166
- What do you think?
- Yes.

20:40.250 --> 20:41.250
Good.

20:43.791 --> 20:45.083
See you next week.

20:46.041 --> 20:47.500
Good luck with the writing.

20:47.583 --> 20:48.583
Thank you.

21:08.541 --> 21:10.791
<i>Dining room or living room?</i>

21:12.000 --> 21:13.291
Dining room.

22:04.500 --> 22:07.666
You've never given a one-on-one interview.

22:08.458 --> 22:13.958
You don't have Facebook, Instagram,
LinkedIn, or Bluesky accounts.

22:14.791 --> 22:17.416
In short, if it weren't for your books,

22:17.500 --> 22:20.125
you could think Lisa Konrad doesn't exist.

22:27.958 --> 22:32.500
"Lisa Konrad, born in 1987,
winner of the German Literature Prize,

22:32.583 --> 22:35.333
lives with her dog near Munich."

22:36.041 --> 22:37.333
That's it.

22:44.500 --> 22:45.625
So…

22:46.833 --> 22:49.916
The entire world
wants an interview with you,

22:50.000 --> 22:53.583
and I, of all people, get one,
even though I never asked for it.

22:54.750 --> 22:56.083
That makes me wonder,

22:57.291 --> 22:58.750
what is the reason?

23:00.000 --> 23:01.125
<i>The reason.</i>

23:03.791 --> 23:06.125
What is the reason for this interview?

23:07.541 --> 23:09.000
Why am I here?

23:15.583 --> 23:16.833
<i>The reason.</i>

23:23.000 --> 23:24.791
<i>I will write it.</i>

23:40.208 --> 23:41.500
<i>"My Sister."</i>

23:43.500 --> 23:45.500
"A crime novel…

23:46.958 --> 23:50.833
by Lisa Konrad."

24:04.541 --> 24:07.833
"That morning, Lisa didn't…"

24:28.875 --> 24:33.625
That morning, strangely enough,

24:33.708 --> 24:36.375
Sophie didn't scream when she woke up."

24:37.833 --> 24:41.625
"Her own horrified scream."

24:43.125 --> 24:44.583
"Since her sister's murder,

24:46.208 --> 24:49.416
that was the sound

24:50.750 --> 24:53.208
<i>that would jolt her awake."</i>

24:59.875 --> 25:02.833
<i>"Her waking so quietly</i>
<i>was all the more strange</i>

25:03.333 --> 25:06.916
<i>because it was the day of Anna's funeral."</i>

25:09.083 --> 25:12.583
<i>"But Sophie felt nothing."</i>

25:13.458 --> 25:17.000
She must have seen something.
She was there and must know who--

25:18.666 --> 25:21.125
Sophie, don't. Let it go.

25:23.000 --> 25:24.125
Let it go.

25:52.166 --> 25:54.916
<i>The petals floated through the air.</i>

25:55.000 --> 25:57.583
<i>Red, like Anna's blood.</i>

26:13.500 --> 26:17.000
<i>Does he know that Anna hated cut flowers?</i>

26:24.250 --> 26:27.000
<i>Did he actually know her before he…</i>

26:33.625 --> 26:37.250
"Was she a random victim?"

26:38.833 --> 26:41.583
<i>Or did he choose her deliberately?</i>

26:49.125 --> 26:52.625
<i>Sophie's boyfriend</i>
<i>would soon disappear from her life.</i>

26:53.125 --> 26:57.416
<i>As if that relationship had been</i>
<i>nothing more than a fleeting hobby.</i>

26:58.625 --> 27:02.125
<i>But then, he was there,</i>
<i>nodding at her reassuringly.</i>

27:09.291 --> 27:12.041
<i>Sophie's parents</i>
<i>wouldn't visit her anymore.</i>

27:12.125 --> 27:14.416
<i>They'd rarely call,</i>

27:14.500 --> 27:19.333
<i>only exchanging a few pleasantries</i>
<i>at Christmas and on birthdays.</i>

27:20.208 --> 27:22.166
<i>Perhaps because otherwise,</i>

27:22.250 --> 27:26.166
<i>her parents would see it</i>
<i>as a betrayal of their dead daughter.</i>

27:27.125 --> 27:28.125
"Sophie…

27:30.250 --> 27:31.416
doesn't really

27:32.583 --> 27:33.500
know."

27:39.708 --> 27:41.583
<i>"She was almost…"</i>

27:43.916 --> 27:45.250
<i>She was almost grateful</i>

27:45.333 --> 27:48.916
<i>when the police officer took her aside</i>
<i>from the mourners.</i>

27:59.958 --> 28:02.250
I know it's a bad time, but…

28:02.333 --> 28:05.375
Did you take a look around
during the funeral?

28:07.541 --> 28:11.208
- Did you notice anyone who resembles--
- No.

28:11.291 --> 28:13.791
And he didn't look like this…

28:15.625 --> 28:18.333
No matter how many words
I use to describe him,

28:18.416 --> 28:21.625
I can't picture him any more clearly.

28:22.375 --> 28:23.833
I saw him, and…

28:24.458 --> 28:27.583
<i>"And at the same time, I didn't see him."</i>

28:29.791 --> 28:31.750
This will make him nervous.

28:31.833 --> 28:34.541
Did she see him or didn't she?

28:39.583 --> 28:42.041
You’d better have a different career too.

28:57.125 --> 29:00.250
You're a painter.
Maybe you should try it yourself.

29:00.333 --> 29:02.375
Have you seen any of my paintings?

29:03.000 --> 29:06.375
No, I just thought,
the guy you think you saw--

29:06.458 --> 29:08.666
"Think you saw"?

29:09.791 --> 29:11.333
Do you believe me?

29:12.583 --> 29:15.041
Do you believe me that I saw the murderer?

29:15.125 --> 29:18.333
Believing isn't really part
of my job description.

29:18.416 --> 29:21.291
You don't believe me.
Just like your colleague.

29:21.375 --> 29:22.541
That's not true.

29:23.958 --> 29:25.875
Even so, you can't keep calling us--

29:25.958 --> 29:30.125
It's been weeks!
Weeks, and you found nothing. Nothing!

29:30.208 --> 29:35.458
Except that my sister was butchered,
stabbed eight times with a knife!

30:17.250 --> 30:18.500
It's nice here, isn't it?

30:21.000 --> 30:23.458
A bit too much shade, perhaps?

30:23.541 --> 30:25.666
I'll die first. I get to choose.

30:25.750 --> 30:27.958
No way. I'm older. I'll die first.

30:28.041 --> 30:32.291
Okay, but when I die,
I want to be buried next to you like this.

30:32.375 --> 30:34.791
Not alone in a separate box.

30:41.083 --> 30:44.416
Exactly like this
I want to be next to you.

30:49.875 --> 30:52.833
<i>But Sophie had left her sister alone…</i>

30:55.250 --> 30:59.541
<i>in that box, in that hole in the ground.</i>

31:00.083 --> 31:02.750
<i>And she knew</i>
<i>how much Anna would have hated…</i>

31:18.625 --> 31:20.083
Mr. Steinmayr!

31:38.125 --> 31:41.416
I'm over the moon
that you're finally writing again.

31:41.500 --> 31:43.708
But why a crime novel?

31:44.583 --> 31:48.250
Let's see if it turns out that way.
I just wanted to let you know.

31:49.375 --> 31:51.708
I'm aiming for June 30th.

31:51.791 --> 31:53.583
Really? So soon?

31:54.083 --> 31:57.083
But sweetie,
why put so much pressure on yourself?

31:59.750 --> 32:02.208
My therapist said it would be good for me.

32:02.833 --> 32:06.291
Right. And you do what she says?
That's news to me.

32:08.416 --> 32:10.125
A deadline is good.

32:10.208 --> 32:13.750
That way, I have to deliver
and won't get any dumb ideas.

32:14.541 --> 32:17.416
And I'll choose him myself anyway.

32:17.500 --> 32:19.000
Who's "him"?

32:20.000 --> 32:23.250
The journalist.
For the announcement interview.

32:24.125 --> 32:25.333
An interview? You?

32:26.375 --> 32:28.458
<i>What does your publisher think?</i>

32:30.291 --> 32:33.750
A Chardonnay with lots of ice!
I'll be right there!

32:33.833 --> 32:37.375
Sorry. I'm at an agents' meeting
with all my competitors.

32:37.875 --> 32:41.541
Pia, not a word to anyone
about my new novel, okay?

32:42.333 --> 32:44.083
<i>Of course not.</i>

32:45.416 --> 32:47.583
Tell me…

32:47.666 --> 32:50.500
Does your therapist also know
which newspaper?

32:50.583 --> 32:53.458
Thank you for the flowers. They're lovely.

32:54.791 --> 32:56.958
Should I prepare a draft contract?

32:57.541 --> 32:59.000
<i>- If you want.</i>
- Great.

32:59.750 --> 33:02.000
Look after yourself, okay? I mean it.

33:02.083 --> 33:03.041
You too.

33:03.541 --> 33:04.541
Bye.

33:06.500 --> 33:07.583
Amazing.

34:02.250 --> 34:03.250
Sorry again.

34:04.375 --> 34:06.791
No, I should apologize.

34:08.666 --> 34:13.291
I didn't mean to question your credibility
or criticize your art.

34:16.500 --> 34:17.875
But I questioned yours.

34:22.250 --> 34:23.750
Is it finished?

34:26.000 --> 34:27.750
It's already sold.

34:33.583 --> 34:36.791
"Lisa K." You're using a pseudonym?

34:38.500 --> 34:40.291
<i>Am I revealing too much?</i>

34:41.708 --> 34:46.208
<i>No, he'll find out anyway.</i>
<i>Lisa Konrad is a pseudonym.</i>

34:52.916 --> 34:56.750
"Would you happen to have…

34:57.958 --> 35:00.833
a cigarette for me?"

35:01.416 --> 35:03.041
What makes you think I'm…

35:03.750 --> 35:05.250
Do I smell like smoke?

35:05.333 --> 35:06.875
No. The sole of your shoe.

35:15.250 --> 35:17.291
You're very observant.

35:20.083 --> 35:21.791
But I'm a bad sister.

35:24.333 --> 35:26.625
Because you can't describe his face?

35:26.708 --> 35:28.875
<i>Because I should've looked out for Anna.</i>

35:29.375 --> 35:32.500
"I am the eldest.
I have always kept an eye…"

35:34.375 --> 35:36.541
<i>Those left behind often feel guilt.</i>

35:37.041 --> 35:38.500
But I was too late.

35:39.000 --> 35:41.416
I promised Anna I'd be with her by nine.

35:41.500 --> 35:44.375
- If I'd been on time, Anna wouldn't--
- You couldn't have known--

35:44.458 --> 35:46.833
That doesn't change anything!
I was too late!

35:59.833 --> 36:01.041
What will you do now?

36:05.833 --> 36:07.166
Keep talking to people.

36:09.125 --> 36:11.958
Your sister's apartment
is a forensic nightmare.

36:12.750 --> 36:15.208
We have fingerprints of almost 60 people.

36:17.041 --> 36:20.000
Anna's birthday party the weekend before…

36:21.416 --> 36:25.541
Traces of a party stay for weeks.
No matter how much you clean.

36:28.625 --> 36:29.750
And the knife?

36:31.500 --> 36:33.541
That only had your fingerprints.

36:34.541 --> 36:36.000
He must have wiped it.

36:41.583 --> 36:42.583
And…

36:44.208 --> 36:45.416
On Anna?

36:46.958 --> 36:49.583
On… On her body?

36:53.041 --> 36:57.500
There were two DNA traces
that weren't from the victim.

36:57.583 --> 37:00.458
But none match the samples
from the party guests

37:00.541 --> 37:02.666
or her other personal contacts.

37:03.166 --> 37:05.458
Except your DNA, of course.

37:06.708 --> 37:09.125
<i>None of which I should be telling you.</i>

37:09.208 --> 37:10.541
"…telling you."

37:14.291 --> 37:17.958
That leaves one unknown DNA trace
on Anna's body.

37:33.041 --> 37:34.375
Yours.

41:41.125 --> 41:47.458
