"Sequere me...
...te protegam."
They won't smell him.
PAGAN PEAK
The depiction of the Virgin Mary protecting people under a big cloak
has been known since the 13th century.
The Virgin of Mercy motif became more and more widespread
the stricter people's belief in God became.
Back then, people saw God as a strict and punitive father
and so, to counteract that, they established a mother figure,
Mary, who offers protection and forgiveness.
Yes, protection which people of faith
sought more from Mary than from God.
Who are the people under the cloak?
In most interpretations, they're secular benefactors...
Saints, clerics.
These figures are also a record of a medieval legal custom.
The so-called "cloak protection". - Yes.
What is "cloak protection"?
In simple terms, it means that
someone pursued by the law can receive protection
by slipping underneath the cloak or the shroud
of a high-ranking person.
Look at this.
Why is the mother's face so scratched?
What? - That's strange.
Does this saying mean anything to you?
"Sequere me, te protegam."
"Follow me, I'll protect you."
Does the phrase have any connection to the Virgin of Mercy?
Even though it ounds like it might do,
no, not that I know of.
OK, thank you very much.
Goodbye. - Goodbye.
Is "The Magic-Jackl" familiar to you?
The Magic-Jackl?
It's a legend from the Salzburg region.
It's not our area of expertise, but just a moment...
Go and see Dr Prugg in Salzburg. He knows everything about legends.

EXTREMIST CIVIL SERVANTS
PEOPLE WHO DON'T RECOGNISE GERMAN LAW
I don't know yet. There's something in it.
Give me a bit more time.
I need to go and pick something up.
You live your life...
...and everything you have left at the end of it fits inside a shoe box.
My mother died.
I'm sorry.
We weren't that close.
Maybe I should have said goodbye.
Gedeon?
Gedeon!
What's wrong?
The bullet is out,
but pain has taken its place.
Sometimes I'm afraid I'm losing my mind, Ellie.
I grew up in a commune.
With my mother.
There were several women there, several children.
And an artist.
Oskar Koschlick.
I was there for two or three years.
He had this project.
Sleeping boys.
I saw the pictures.
Koschlick was the type who took what he wanted.
I've been looking for him for a long time.
I haven't managed to find him.
Everyone has a task in life.
I haven't solved mine yet.
Normally, contact between two parties
who want to remain anonymous
operates by having a web mail account created
where they communicate via a draft folder.
Huh?
Simply put... If one of them wants to tell the other person something,
they write an email, but don't send it.
It stays in the drafts folder.
The other person, who has the password for the account sent by normal post,
finds the message in the drafts folder.
Clever. - Yeah.
They delete it, write their message as a draft...
and so on.
So, it's unlikely that anyone will discover it.
How can I retrieve it?
Spyware.
Put a USB drive in the computer in question,
upload the program,
and you have access to all the actions on that computer.
When the person in question logs into the account,
then you will know what's going on.
I want that kind of USB drive.
It's illegal.
I want that kind of USB drive.
Mr Riedle?
Heller, Salzburg CID. We have a few more questions.
There's been a development in the motorbike accident investigation,
so we wanted to take your statement again.
I already told your colleagues everything.
I went for a drive.
In the Audi over there?
Yes, but it's not mine.
It belongs to my dad.
I like driving it around the area.
Like on the day of the accident?
I drove up the pass road
and then I saw the man lying in the tunnel.
I didn't realise that it was a person at first,
with the backlighting.
I thought it was an animal.
I waited for a bit.
If it was a wounded animal,
it could be dangerous.
Did you notice a wire on the road,
at the edge of the road or anywhere else?
A wire?
No.
Anything else you didn't tell our colleagues, maybe something you saw?
A man.
A man? - He came out of the forest.
He was questioned by the police too. They might know this.
The other man who came to help? - He didn't help.
He just watched.
OK, that's it for now.
Thanks a lot. Goodbye.
Goodbye. - Goodbye.
We have to assume Samir Schuchter is one of our killer's victims.
A witness saw someone close to the scene
of the accident the day after it happened.
He described the person as a "shadow."
All he could make out was a silhouette.
I saw someone too, very close to the cave there.
A dark figure.
A silhouette.
I'd say our suspect is very good at camouflaging himself.
That's not a lot, but it is a start at least.
DNA analysis of the objects in the cave
hasn't produced any matches yet.
Blood was found on the stones,
but lab analysis confirms it is animal blood.
In the cave itself, apart from the items listed,
we didn't find any everyday objects.
The cave seems to be more of a ritual spot.
This is shown by...
the Virgin of Mercy which was carved into the wall
and this Latin phrase which is on the wall,
"Sequere me, te protegam."
The desecration of the statue of Mary
might also suggest a rejection of Catholic belief.
I suspect it is a specific hatred of the maternal figure.
He's making Mary unrecognisable.
She's the mother of all mothers and he's taking away her identity and femininity.
Do you think the saying is connected?
"Follow me, I'll protect you."
I presume the killer sees himself as the subject of the phrase,
which would indicate fantastical delusions.
He sees himself as the focal point of his world with his laws.
Maybe he sees himself as a kind of protector.
It's just unclear who's meant to be following him.
Thanks. Thanks.
...and whom he wants to protect...
Our killer has a role model.
Come on up.
Dr Prugg?
At the end of the 17th century...
in Salz burg, there was the biggest witch hunt in the German-speaking world.
More than 200 young people and children
were accused of witchcraft and executed.
Do you want something to drink?
No, thanks.
The church needed a scapegoat.
Couldn't blame it on bad weather.
I definitely see parallels with today.
It's always about power, right?
And maintaining power.
To the homeland!
A TERRIBLE STORY OF THREE SORCERESSES OF DERNEBURG
The church had to...
sow fear,
in order to reap power.
They talked about witches and sorcerers.
They were the guilty ones.
Something like that wears off quickly.
Without a name or a face.
But once a spark of hatred
and denunciation is ignited,
a raging fire is not far off.
So then they came up with a woman,
who had long seemed suspicious to everyone, a slaughterwoman.
Under torture, the poor woman confessed
not only to being in league with the devil,
she also accused her own son Jakob...
The Magic-Jackl.
Finally, the church had what they wanted...
a scapegoat.
A devil.
At the time, Jakob had gathered a large number of children around him.
They were virtually his slaves.
It is said that...
for those who wanted to belong to his group, he performed a kind of...
consecration, scraping the old baptism from their head.
Jackl must have had huge charisma.
Well, anyway, these children were pursued,
captured and tortured.
They were supposed to betray Jackl.
Look. These are etchings
and original documents from the show trials.
They're beautiful.
Belief in the devil was widespread at the time.
Anything that couldn't be explained was either the work of God...
or of the devil.
And what was Magic-Jackl?
A sorcerer? A shaman?
Who knows.
Look, good and evil only exist
because the other exists, right?
He existed.
Jackl was real.
And was he caught?
No.
Never.
You think he's still alive?

Hello. - Phone and recording device.
In there?
I've only got my phone.
Right...
OK, come with me.
Heel.
It's safer down there.
Go to your place.
Have a seat.
Coffee?
Yes, please.
Sugar?
Thanks.
The mainstream media don't often want to hear what I have to say.
We're not mainstream.
We're independent.
But you do know the ownership structure of the "Daily Post"?
Ask your questions and I'll answer them truthfully.
You'll then report what I say in edited form and taken out of context.
I'd like to write about you...
unadulterated and unbiased.
If you could create the Germany you want,
what would you do?
You're good.
Where shall I start?
There are many mystical places in the forest here.
Sacrificial stones, dark places.
People even say some rocks have creatures living in them.
What sort of places?
I took all these pictures.
Our area is a special place.
The forest is a special place.
The Jackl knows that too.
Does this place have something to do with the Jackl?
This rock is, without doubt, so old
that it must have witnessed quite a lot.
What exactly does all that have to do with our case?
Where's the connection?
There are things the eye cannot see.
We simply reject any rules, norms and conditions
which serve to maintain the privileges of a business elite.
Or which soothe a society
that spends time on issues like gender
and so-called multiculturalism.
Or becomes paralysed with fear
when it is spooked by the media
about things like climate change or the pandemic.
It's all just a distraction
from the real problems.
Which would be?
Unemployment, poverty,
the care crisis.
I get the impression you have a...
very distinct sense of what's right and wrong.
Where does it come from?
I saw so much shit when I served in the police.
I had to rescue children held captive by drunken fathers.
I was used as target practice for religious fanatics.
The world is full of scum.
And what do the courts do when the police give them this scum?
They let you citizens pay for them to laze around.
People we should make short work of.
I need to go to the toilet.
You need to go across the yard and into my house.
When you go in, it's straight ahead. - Thanks.

Where has the man got to?
Shall we go and see?
That's the rock.
It could be.
We need to look at Markstein's 2010 interview again.
It's what Yvette wanted.
You didn't have a plan or anything?
It just sort of happened?
How did you choose the location?
There are many spiritual places in our area.
Special, mystical places.
I know. I've read a lot about them.
Witches and enchanted beings live in rocks and trees here.
And the place where you gathered this time
is also one of these special places?
A big, flat rock.
It was also used for sacrifices in earlier times.
We were together as a group.
We drank beer and chatted, as we often did.
But this time, it was a bit special.
It was different.
Finally, he showed himself to us again.
Suddenly, he was back again.
Who?
I told you that he lives in this place.
He was always there. - Who was?
He was.
He promised to protect us.
He...
I think Kai Markstein knew the man in the forest.
He knew Jackl.
We need to look through his notes.
We believe that our killer sees himself
as a kind of Magic-Jackl
and Kai Markstein knew him, or at least met him.
If we look more closely at the drawings,
we see similarities to the descriptions of Jackl.
What does this mean?
We're looking for a myth?
Seriously?
We need to look through Kai Markstein's notes and diaries.
He wrote a lot.
We hope to find clues about the killer. Maybe meeting places.
Markstein wasn't right in the head. He could've drawn anyone.
Maybe, but it is a fair assumption
that the killer is emulating the Jackl character in some way.
We're looking for someone who identifies with Jackl.
We need to look at what motive emerges if we take his perspective on Jackl.
The Jackl was hunted down.
He was portrayed as the devil.

To you, Turek.
Do you understand now?
Good.
Due to lack of time, I'd like to butt in briefly.
Today, I'd like to gather all the facts,
so we can understand to what extent Gedeon Winter broke the rules.
It's not just about internal procedures,
but also whether his conduct was criminal.
Then make it quick, please. I have to go.
Just for the record, you're not aware of any misconduct by Winter
or what he did in his spare time?
What are you getting at? I can't tell you what I don't know.
Do you want a quick break? - No.
I'm getting a glass of water. Do you want one too?
And you? - Sure.
I don't understand you.
I don't understand what you're trying to achieve with your silence.
I don't understand what this is about. - They want to nail you.
It's about Gedeon and you.
I'm trying to help you, but you're not letting me.
You just need to incriminate him. That's all.
I'm telling the truth.
Are you sure?
You've got nothing concrete to go on.
Am I right?
You can't even tell who's on your side any more.
Believe me, it's not going to get any better for you from now on.
Coffee?
I think we've found something.
In his notes, Markstein keeps mentioning a place where he met a teacher.
And the Latin phrase as well. "Satan magister te protectat."
"Master Satan protects you."
That's their connection, "SMTP".
Any chance of finding out where they met?
I'm on it.
Just a moment.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Hello. May I?
I wanted to see you.
You need to go to my flat right away.
I have...
hidden it in one of the vases.
It's time to do the right thing.
Did Haas do this to you?
It won't get any better if I tell you.
Mr Turek, I'm very sorry I dragged you into this. I...
I really didn't mean this to happen.
I brought it all on myself. Don't worry about it.
I hope you can do something with that. OK?
Thanks.
Ms Stocker.
I can't accept your thanks.
I took money from Theresa Gössen...
to throw suspicion on Ina Meyer.
To find a way of making sure the protest camp could be cleared.
That way, Ms Stocker...
...was you.
You arsehole.
Markstein writes about a teacher he kept meeting
until his arrest in 2010, then no more.
Based on his notes and sketches, I tried to find the places on an actual map.
I started at the rock where Yvette Grünbauer was sacrificed.
That's where the red dot is.
Then I tried to link up the prominent places he describes, like the waterfall.
That way, we can narrow down the area where he met his teacher.
The pass road is here. The motorbike accident was here. The cave's here.
And here's the place where Ms Eberharter was killed.
Hey.
This should give you access to Haas's internet activities.
Where did you get this?
Anonymous source.
Can we use it?
We got nowhere with the hard drives, right?
I want us to monitor Haas's computer for 24 hours.
Ellie, let's go.
You are looking for me.
