Mephisto's our deadliest enemy.
A traitor?
And Strasser was chasing him?
[Gun fires] Oskar: I remember every detail.
A bomb was planted by Lazar Kiss.
Why was your father still obsessed?
Lisa: Two different types.
Looks like our killer has someone helping him.
He had a friend he spoke about.
Signor Carrillo.
[Singing opera] No possessions.
Just this.
Oskar: Mephisto has a network.
'Rieger's Palace' is the rendezvous.
Helena: The Soldier, the Baron, and the Actress.
There is no restriction on what you can bet.
Max: You actually gamble with people?
People, possessions, secrets.
One word and I'll be silent forever.
If you ever lay a finger on her again, I'll kill you!
-Oskar?
-Drop the weapon!
[Gun fires] I'm lost.
And I'm alone.
[Music fades] [Theme music playing] Clara.
Are you alright?
I'm fine.
It's Max.
-Inspector.
What happened?
-How is he?
-He was shot.
-[Rachel gasps] [Gasps] My...my son...my boy... Man: Doctor, Doctor, can we see our son?
No, he's in surgery at the moment.
Please tell me you can save him.
We're doing everything in our power.
There was an assailant.
He got too close and then...
Please come with me.
I'll find you somewhere more private you can wait.
Alright.
It's alright.
It's OK. Damn you for coming into his life again!
[Footsteps receding] [Breathing shakily] [Birds chirping] [Indistinct chatter] [Chatter fades out] Oskar: Max, I need you more than ever, even though you're not here.
I need to understand what went on.
I'm terribly afraid of something.
I know.
The bullet that hit you.
Yes.
I think it came from my gun.
I'm the one who shot you.
Oskar: Drop the weapon!
[Gunshot echoes] From an automatic.
My gun.
What happened here last night?
[Breathing shakily] -Excuse me, sir?
-Yes?
[Conversation continues indistinctly] Haussmann!
There was only one shot.
So why are there two cases?
It doesn't make any sense.
I'm so sorry, Inspector.
Of course I'll give you all the help I can.
Max: I need to identify the man in the tunnel.
There was a pre-arranged handover of a firearm.
Someone used this place as a secret rendezvous.
He escaped through the back of the tunnels.
I need access to your register of members.
It includes some very important people.
You think that makes them above the law, Fraulein?
I'm sorry, I'm not at liberty to disclose their names.
-Not without their permission.
-My friend has been shot!
He's in hospital, fighting for his life!
Please understand my position.
Max: I'd say your position is precarious, Fraulein.
You know the name of everyone who comes here, and some of them may be involved in a conspiracy!
So, I'll come back next time with a warrant, and if you obstruct my investigation, you will be arrested!
Doctor.
How is he?
He's out of surgery.
The bullet did a lot of damage, but we were able to drain and suture the lung.
Bullet glanced off the rib cage and passed straight through him.
A rifle, I guess.
Oskar: Oh, my God.
Drop the weapon!
[Gun fires] I need to know who he was, the man who shot you.
Could it have been Mephisto?
Don't leave me alone here, Max!
He was always restless.
Always had an adventurous spirit.
When he was 4, he disappeared one day.
Have you heard this story?
No.
His mother couldn't find him.
She was in a panic.
I was working as usual, and Little Max suddenly decided he wanted to visit his father after hours.
So off he went on his own.
Poor Rachel.
She was running through the streets, looking for him, shouting.
I heard the shop bell ring.
And he just walked in.
Hello, Papa.
It's time for you to come home now.
Of course, I never imagined that that spirit would lead him to such dark places, but you have to let children be themselves.
It was almost like a game for him, you know?
The two of us, investigating crimes, like schoolboys, playing.
I never dreamed it could end up like this.
I should have protected him.
I...I was blind.
[Children laughing] It's a puzzle, a total enigma.
The tunnels are silent.
You could hear a pin drop!
Why didn't I hear the second bullet fire?
-What?
-Oh...It's something I saw.
A contraption.
Attached to a rifle.
-Well, that's unusual.
-Yes.
Anything you can find out for me, I'd be very grateful.
-I'll do my best.
-Oh, and then there's this...
Smells familiar.
Yeah.
Might be our friend from the Vienna Woods.
I found it at the casino.
Thank you, Fraulein.
Ah...Rheinhardt.
I'm sorry about your doctor friend.
Have a seat.
[Sighs] I had a call from someone at the Ministry.
Someone?
Concerning Helena Rieger.
You interviewed her, apparently.
Naturally.
She's a material witness.
Hmm.
She has powerful friends.
So she tells me.
People are nervous.
People?
Certain special clients of hers.
They want me to back off?
Is that what you're telling me?
Look, Rheinhardt-- Dr. Liebermann was shot.
He might die.
I know, I know.
But we must tread carefully.
You don't understand what's really happening.
A traitor?
In the heart of the establishment?
Strasser asked me to investigate.
He begged me, before he died.
-You have any proof?
-Only what Strasser gave me.
This is all very irregular, Rheinhardt.
I must alert the new Director of Security.
-No.
-Excuse me!
[Bell rings, muffled] -No.
We can't trust anyone.
We need to keep this between ourselves.
Just for now.
You don't believe me?
But he's here, in Vienna, Mephisto.
I'll find you some proof of his existence.
Just give me 24 hours, Commissioner.
Hmm.
[Horses' hooves clopping] [Indistinct chatter] What is it?
Promotions that need confirming.
And some duty orders to sign.
Mmm.
Did you hear about that business at Rieger's?
-Business?
-The shooting.
It's in the morning papers.
Weren't you there that night?
You are never to mention my presence there.
Do you understand?
Sir.
Oh.
-That fellow is outside again.
-Fellow?
Who invented that contraption.
-I'm happy to send him away.
-No, no, wait!
Bring him in.
We'll see him.
[Birds chirping] [Door opening] Thank you.
[Footsteps approaching] I'm afraid to report, Madame, that your weekend entertainment, regrettably, must be cancelled.
Why?
What's happened?
His Excellency...
He refuses to be burdened with the cost any longer.
My one little pleasure!
The Emperor will never refuse me.
With regret... [Cup clatters] You don't approve of me.
You and the rest of the household.
You think I'm beneath you.
It's not my place to approve or to disapprove.
Well, at least we can agree on something.
It frightens you, to have a commoner so close to the seat of power.
Tell His Excellency I expect him to indulge my private passion.
[Harp playing] I only need 5 minutes, General.
5 minutes to change the face of warfare forever.
Here.
A giant rotating frame, built around a motorised centre.
It would crush anything in its path.
You and I are going to rewrite the rule book, General.
How was the meeting?
You think it's worth pursuing?
Give me an infantryman with a rifle any day.
Wars are seldom won with novelties and trinkets.
Look what I found.
Just patented by an American.
An inventor called Hiram Maxim.
[Oskar grunts] It's a 'silencer.'
It means the rifle makes no sound.
Bought from a specialist arms dealer.
Mephisto... Burgstaller.
This is his part in it.
This is how he connects to the story.
A gun like this must have a special purpose.
[Gun fires] -[Sighs] [Door opens and closes] Are you alright?
I was worried.
You were out all night.
-Where's Hannah?
-In the bedroom, sleeping.
I need to get some things from our apartment.
No, let me go back there first.
I'll make sure that he's gone.
Promise me.
No more violence.
[Knocking on door] -Thanhofer?
Thanhofer?
[Dog barking in distance] Thanhofer.
Therese Thanhofer's husband.
Well, that's going to make things difficult.
Yes.
Thank you.
I'm aware.
-Well?
What do we have?
-A vicious knife attack.
Do we know the circumstances?
Sir, we have a witness.
A neighbour next door says he heard a commotion.
Tell me what happened.
Yes, erm, I heard a row... Erm, two men arguing.
-Did you see a face?
-Yes, quite clearly.
And?
You think you could identify the other man?
It was him.
Him!
I saw you arguing with him.
Murderer!
Arrest him!
Arrest him!
He's the murderer!
Haussmann, take the witness to the station.
-You are the murderer!
-Get him out of here!
You're a murderer!
-Please make way!
-Arrest him!
Any clues to this assailant?
Yes, in an initial examination, I found some fibres under his fingernails.
Similar to your coat, encrusted with blood, Inspector.
Yes, it's true.
I was here that day.
He assaulted a friend of mine.
I came here to tell him to leave Vienna.
-But he refused, so-- -Well... You're under arrest, Rheinhardt.
What?
We have a witness.
He didn't see the actual murder.
He just heard us quarrelling.
I have no alternative.
You came here that day, you obviously fought with the man.
He's torn fibres from your coat.
If I killed him, why would I come back?
-To hide evidence?
-Look-- You're officially relieved from duty.
Meier.
Don't make me handcuff you and march you through the streets, please.
Mephisto's out to get me.
He's obviously set me up here.
He's responsible for what happened to Max.
-Stand back.
-Now he's trying to destroy me... -Move!
-Before I can find out his identity.
Get out of the way.
Get back.
Who did you tell?
What?
When I came to you.
When I told you I have evidence of a traitor, who did you share it with?
Don't be absurd!
They're trying to discredit me!
Please, Commissioner!
Meier!
Get him!
Get him!
Go!
Go!
Go!
Leah: Where are you going?
-To the synagogue.
The rabbi is holding a refua shlema service.
Do you want me to come with you?
Better if you wait here in case the hospital telephones.
Oh.
Say a prayer for me.
Ah, I want him home.
[Door opens] [Door closes] [Piano playing] "To my sister and best friend..." [Thunder rumbles] [Leah gasps] Don't be afraid.
Sorry.
Whoever it is, they know I'm on to them.
Max got too close as well.
I need your help, Fraulein.
The same way you needed Max's help?
-Look-- -You're the reason he's in hospital.
You and your damned adventures!
Where are you going?
Where do you think?
I'm telephoning the police.
I understand that you're angry.
But I'm trying to find out who shot your brother!
He was my friend!
He is my friend.
I just need somewhere to hide for a little while.
Don't say it.
Just don't!
Alright, I won't.
What was I going to say?
Our actions betray us.
Well, that's psychology.
I made myself seem guilty by running away but I have to find Mephisto.
I was merely a suspect before.
Now they're damned certain I'm guilty.
You're alone now.
I still have you.
At least in this room.
What the hell is going on here?
Mendel: Um, excuse me.
Who are you?
I'm so sorry to disturb you.
I'm a friend from the police station.
I didn't mean to intrude.
Please forgive me.
I'll be going.
Sir.
Rather unexpected, what happened.
The Director is highly concerned.
Rheinhardt as good as admitted his guilt by running.
We understand your struggle.
You're loyal to him.
-So we're standing you down.
-What?
It's a conflict of interests.
Better if you were to take some leave.
No, sir.
I want to be part of this investigation.
I can't just walk away from it.
Very well.
But we can't put you in charge.
I'm sure you understand why.
[Knock on door] [Door opens] Constable.
Thank you for coming.
We're giving you a big responsibility.
-Sir.
-Find Rheinhardt.
And quickly.
Yes, sir.
You can go with him, Haussmann.
[Door closes] [Knocking] Do you have any idea where he might be?
He never came home.
What's happened?
Come with me, little one.
You're married to Wenzel Thanhofer?
Is that correct?
Yes.
Why?
What's happened?
I'm sorry to have to tell you he's been murdered.
And Oskar Rheinhardt is the prime suspect.
This can't be... Did Rheinhardt say anything to you?
Did he ever talk about killing him?
If you truly think he's capable of murder, then you don't know him.
I know your life is hard.
You live in a slum, Oskar Rheinhardt has money, has a decent job.
[Chuckles] You think that's why I'm friends with him?
Your husband was a bad lot.
I'd understand if you wanted to get away from him.
Maybe you're just glad he's gone.
But if you were hiding something... this could get very bad for you.
And for your daughter.
[Typewriters clacking] Are you alright?
I heard about your friend.
Do they know how he is?
Any word?
He still hasn't regained consciousness.
Are you sure you should you be at work?
Do you want some time off?
I want to get this finished.
Helps me keep my mind off it.
[Indistinct chatter] Actually, the woman was living at his apartment.
We went over and found her there.
So, you think that's what this is about?
You think his motive could be jealousy?
-Brilliant thought.
-The Inspector is an honourable man.
She'd been beaten.
There were scars on her face.
At least Rheinhardt was honest about that part.
Obvious what happened, then.
He went there to avenge her.
He has a violent temper.
No doubt about it.
Where else could Rheinhardt be right now?
How dare you come here knowing what we're suffering?
I'm sorry, Fraulein.
We have no choice.
When my brother wakes up, he'll have something to say about this!
The Inspector made himself a fugitive from justice, Fraulein.
Gentlemen, we're going to go upstairs now!
They just promoted him.
He seems to be enjoying it.
I'll meet you back at the station.
I'll need to apologise to her again.
It's important.
I know the family well.
I owe it to them.
[Door closes] Where is he?
He's been here.
I know it.
[Grunting] -Hi.
-What are you doing here?
Guess I'm a better detective than you thought.
I want to help.
You're a fool.
Maybe.
But I'm the only friend you've got.
Von Bulow has convinced everyone you're guilty.
Meier has been put in charge.
He's taking the job very seriously.
Dragged Therese in for questioning.
He doesn't trust me, because of you.
Alright.
We need to go back over the crime scene, piece by piece.
Whoever killed Thanhofer, they must work for Mephisto.
He's trying to protect himself.
And he's sent someone to follow me.
They knew where I was headed.
They knew about Therese and her husband?
Yes.
They must have seen me enter their apartment that night.
Must have waited till I'd gone, and then went in.
Have you noticed someone shadowing you?
Clara: Everything you said was right.
I do have feelings for you.
I think I've hidden them for so long I barely even acknowledge them anymore.
Funny, me being here makes me just a little braver.
Please come back to us.
-Sir.
-Thank you.
I've been thinking, once he gets better... maybe we should go home.
Home?
To England.
Vienna doesn't feel like a place where we belong.
Not anymore.
Oh, my love... [Sobbing] Here, Rachel.
How's Max?
Uh, he still hasn't woken up.
I need a drink.
Rachel, Leah?
Do you want one?
Er, Papa... Just one moment before you go in there... [Drink pouring] You can't tell anyone he's here.
Mendel: What on earth is going on?
I'm afraid it's complicated, Herr Liebermann, difficult to explain.
Try, would you please, Inspector?
I'm trying to find out who shot your son.
But I can't be seen on the street.
What?
I've been unjustly accused of a crime.
The people who attacked Max are trying to frame me.
I need you to believe me.
Please.
You were always a friend to Max.
Thank you.
I think there may be some sort of conspiracy within the Viennese establishment.
Wait.
There was an officer hanging around the hospital in his room.
Young chap?
Scrawny?
That's him.
Behaving rather oddly.
I need to track him down.
Oh, and I'll need to borrow some clothes.
What, again?
[Indistinct chatter] Therese?
I need to talk to you.
Don't walk away.
What did the police want?
That young officer Meier called me in again.
Does Hannah know what's happening?
She hears whispers, people talking.
So, she thinks I murdered her father?
Does it matter to you what she thinks?
Of course it does.
I know you're innocent.
Is that what you wanted to hear?
-I feel like I'm responsible.
-What?
I begged you to come and help us.
We were both manipulated.
Used.
What can I do?
Believe in me.
That makes all the difference.
[Footsteps approaching] [Phone ringing in distance] You need something?
You've taken over Inspector Rheinhardt's investigation?
What is it you've got?
Cigarette butts.
Found in the woods.
And also at the casino.
I think I've identified the expensive one.
A Turkish/Egyptian mix.
They sell it at a store on Weihburggasse.
And they're willing to give me their client list.
[Chuckles] It's better you leave it with me, Fraulein.
I'll make sure it's followed up, alright?
I've made an appointment to visit them.
Oh, that won't be necessary.
Thank you.
You can go now.
I know what you're going to say.
Numbers were down a little.
It's a warm evening.
People stay in the country.
People have heard about the killings.
[Sighs] It can sometimes feel like a burden, Karner, all this responsibility on my shoulders.
He would have been very proud of what you've achieved.
Fraulein, he truly loved you.
[Door slams] Everyone's looking for you.
Why are you following me?
I thought this was a conversation we'd better have privately.
-Tell me it wasn't you.
-What?
You're a good officer.
I like you.
Tell me it wasn't you who betrayed me.
Betrayed us all.
You're under arrest for the murder of Wenzel Thanhofer.
If I'm under arrest, why are you looking so nervous?
[Grunting] How much does Mephisto pay you?
How much is your conscience worth, huh?
[Grunting] Stop, Meier!
It's over!
[Panting] Oskar: It was you who framed me.
You killed Wenzel Thanhofer!
[Breathing heavily] Is that why you gunned down Burgstaller's killer?
So we wouldn't be able to question him?
Were you paid to dispose of Carillo, too?
-[Shouting] -[Grunting] It must be useful for Mephisto to have a hired gun in the police force.
Come here, come here... What about Max?
Are you responsible for this, too?
You don't know what Mephisto can do!
You don't realise!
-Who shot him!?
Tell me!
Tell... [Gunshot echoes] [Closing music playing]
