DER SCHLÜSSEL #krimihörspiel #retro 1976 #kopfkino

Listen, I wish you a wonderful autumn and good entertainment with this retro piece. Thank you for your like. Stop it! Only 20 minutes left. I've done more with it than that would be a lot. And it's always gone well. Don't talk, Tobbe. Don't strain yourself. Cigarette? Not in here. We must not be noticed. Don't beat, Tobbe. You'll get a doctor right away. No, it's fine. Don't worry. Are you all right? I can take it. It just reminds me of Finland. There it caught me, too. I had to run all day... Don't talk like that. ...until I got to the hospital. Bill, we have to go. He's gone blind. His legs are still out. Hey, thief! Help! Police! They're stealing my car! From whom? Stealing goods? It doesn't matter. You'll get it back. Damn car. I feel bad. A gunshot wound, you say? Yes, I'm pretty sure. There was a shot in the front. You say your partner heard a shot? Yes, he woke me up. He heard a shot. He turned the outside light on and saw someone lying here. But there are a lot of questions now. The man wasn't shot on this spot. Not on this... No, no. Look. Here. And here. Here. It's blood. Yes, I see. It's easy to track. Come with me. It leads all the way. Do you see this? It's a track. The man was dragged here. The track leads to this car. Do you know the car? Does it belong to the old man? No, I don't know it. Did you find anything? Yes, the seats are smeared with blood. And the window is broken. The track must be here. Find out who owns the car. What does this mean? That Mr. Toppe was transported here in this car. Injured, maybe already dead. It's possible that a dead man was put in his car. I don't understand anything anymore. Mr. Toppe couldn't get out. He didn't report as a city dweller, did he? No, they have to carry themselves. Is he lying in bed and sleeping? He's not lying there. He would have said right away that there are a lot of questions now. Impossible. Do you still need me? No, not here. Come. The car was obviously stolen. He must have been used by several people. There were at least two who dragged the man. But why didn't you drive back with the same car? Why did you walk? He shouldn't know that. You're right. He should know that. Maybe it was the horseman. He heard a shot. I was lying here and sleeping. He heard a shot. A shot, you say? Did you know right away that it was a shot? What do you mean? You could have said that the sounds were loud, but you said it was a shot. I know what a shot sounds like. This is a forest, a hunting area. You don't have to be nervous. You heard a shot and got up right away. Yes, but I saw him out of the window. I saw something lying there. And then I went up to the director. You didn't see anyone who ran away, maybe? No, it was dead silence. Thank you. How can he have heard a shot when no one fell? At least not here. Maybe they shot him in the air so that someone would run away. Did you hear a shot? Me? No. I sleep on the left side. Where is your apartment? In the second floor. And where is Mr. Taube's room? Also in the second floor, please. Is this a municipal property? No, a foundation, let's say half and half. The employees take care of themselves. Minimally, however. They are mostly pensioners. Please go to your room now. There is nothing to see here. Let me talk. No nervousness. It's all right, Robert. It's dry in here. No, no alcohol. These are Mr. Berger, Mr. Engel and Mr. Nell. Good evening. You live here with Mr. Taube. They are from the murder commission. They would like to ask you some questions. I heard what happened. We heard nothing. We only know what we heard. That Mr. Taube was found in the park and that he is dead. Yes, that's right. The question is, what can you tell us? When did Mr. Taube leave this room? When did you last see him? We went to bed at 10 o'clock. That means the three of us. Taube said he wanted to go to the reading room again. To the reading room at 10 o'clock at night? Isn't it open until 10 o'clock? Yes, that's right, until 10 o'clock. What did he want there? What you do in a reading room. Read. Mr. Berger, I ask you to answer the questions correctly. The question is correctly answered. What did he want to read? A book. A newspaper. A newspaper at 10 o'clock at night. We have two copies in the house. It just takes as long as everyone is up to. When did he come back? I don't know. We have now woken up by the general noise, by the general unrest. And then we saw that your bed, what was it, your friend? Yes, our friend. That his bed was empty. How did Taube get out of the house? He doesn't know anything. The doors are closed at night. It's absolutely puzzling. Has it happened often that Taube left the house at night? No. You don't have an explanation for that? No, none. And you, gentlemen? No. No, none. Where is Mr. Taube's closet? Right there. Take a look at it, Harry. In the car, Stefan. The owner is a certain Schumann. He says he saw from the window of his house how his car was stolen. Where does the man live? In the subway station Freiman. Did he make a statement? Yes, he heard how the engine of his car was left on, it crashed into the window, and he says he has the impression that several people were in the car. Did he recognize anyone? No. That's a completely crazy story. Why are we leaving the car here? Maybe they were afraid that the owner had alerted the police. He did, and immediately. It would have been insubstantial to use the car any longer. Do you think so? Yes, a postcard. With letters and photos, stamps and so on. Do you know who this is? His granddaughter Lisa. She is a music student in Munich. Does he have any other relatives? His son and his daughter-in-law live in Canada. We will take this postcard. Yes, understood. One more question. Did you hear a shot against half past one? A shot? No. As I said, I slept. You, gentlemen? No. Mrs. Toppe? Yes. Good day. My name is Derek. I'm from the criminal police. I... Thank you. I don't need you anymore. I have no good news for you. Your grandfather is dead. My grandfather is? When did you last see your grandfather? Yesterday afternoon. We ate together. He must have left the house secretly last night. You can't do that. It's closed at nine o'clock. My grandfather has often complained that you live like in a prison. Has he never done anything like that before? I don't know about that. But his friends should know that. He lives with three others in a room. Are they good friends? Yes. They are the best friends I have, he always says. You see, I'm grateful for every little thing I'm experiencing now. Did you notice anything about your grandfather yesterday afternoon? I mean, was he in a good mood or was he depressed? Yes, that was him. That was him. Yes. He was in a good mood because he was expecting money. Money, you say? Yes. He didn't have much, just his pension. And you can't live and die from that, he said. I couldn't support him. Neither could my parents. They live in Canada and have self-employment. Where did he get the money from? From his old company. Some kind of remuneration from a pension fund. A lot of money? Yes, quite a lot. He wanted me to buy a car and buy a nice apartment. You can't explain where he was last night? No. Toppe was a bookkeeper at the international transport agency Gottlieb Schöne. I called there. They don't have a pension fund. And Toppe doesn't get a remuneration. His granddaughter lied to him. Let's put it this way. He used an excuse to explain how he got the money. But he didn't have any. If he wanted it, I expected a lot of money. What about the documents? Papers, family photos, nothing important to us. How long has he been in the house? Three and a half years. He paid 362 marks. Not more? Maybe he didn't have more. Do you have documents about this Berger? Yes, a former postman. He's doing a little better. Is that his personal data? Yes. Jager 06. No children. He left the church 10 years ago. Nothing important. Well. Stefan, tell me. Why would a man like Toppe be murdered, who has nothing but his pension? I mean, where is the motive for him or the murderers? We have so far assumed that Toppe was accompanying some people. People we have no idea about. But maybe they were people who knew him very well. Maybe those who live with him in this house. Maybe even in a room with him. Yes, that's not a bad idea. It would at least explain... Why they left the stolen car standing. Because they were at home. Yes, possibly. In any case, theoretically. I mean, practically, it's hard for me to believe it. Old people who steal cars, go to shootings. All of you, listen! Please go to your rooms after dinner. Stay there until you are given a new instruction. You heard what the director said. You stay in the house. Can we go to the garden? No, not that either. Mr. Director. Would you allow us to see a sense in your arrangement? Why so ironic, Berger? The police are here. Why so ironic, Berger? The police are here. So, as I said, you wait in your rooms. What do you want now? The car is disturbing you. Which car? The stolen car. They wonder why it's standing here. Oh, you mean... That you came up with the right idea. It wasn't that hard. No alcohol. I don't want you to look at me. You're starting to tremble now, aren't you? You don't have anything on you. Only suspicions. I'm glad to see you again. I enjoy giving the right answers. Why don't you knock, Mr. Director? What? But, Berger... Because the police are here, you don't knock? Yes, we are obliged to a special courtesy. What's the matter with you, Berger? Mr. Berger. Allow us to come in, Mr. Berger. Please. Thank you. What's the matter with you, Mr. Berger? I don't like the way you are. What? But we got along well today. Yes. If we do what you say... March, march, to the room. It's about to start. Unbelievable. Everything I say, everything I do... It only happens to your best. Do you know what my best is? Our best? How do I know that? You need security, order... A firm feeling. That's what we want for you, and not just for you, but for everyone. That your evening of life runs smoothly. Amen. What's the matter with you? Mr. Berger is, so to speak, our best man. A spokesman for everyone here. A man of trust. So to speak. These are the events... The death of Toppel. Not only... They didn't manage to do it. By the way, none of us, Mr. Berger. Nobody? Excuse me, gentlemen. But yes. Mr. Toppel was a very good friend of yours, Mr. Berger. Of all of you. The question can be answered with yes. A very good friend. It is all the more unlikely that you didn't know that he had left the house and where he had gone. But it's a fact. Besides, it's a statement we've already made. Do you think we don't have our senses together? Do we have to ask ourselves the same thing twice? Mr. Berger, please. Do you ask twice because we're old people who don't understand a question for the first time? No. Then you assume that I'm lying. Yes. I can't rule that out. I think it's possible that you... And you. That maybe all three of you left the house together with Toppel. And that you were the ones who brought the injured or dead Toppel here in a stolen car. That goes too far. These are terrible suspicions. Mr. Berger, I'm on your side. Thank you. We would like to see your coat. Coat? Coat. Is that even allowed? I would like to ask this question, too. What are you looking for? Bloodstains. He told his granddaughter that he was expecting a repayment. That's a lot of money from his old company. Do you know anything about it? No. And you? No. You don't either? No. Shouldn't you have told your good friends? Because there was nothing behind it. That's why. He always dreamed of money. We all dream of money because we have nothing. In the end, we have nothing. We stand there empty-handed. We dream our last dream. That maybe we'll get some money. Maybe a lot of money. Yes. That's how you have to see it. May I see your briefcase? My briefcase? Yes, your briefcase. Or where do you keep your money? Do what you're told, Mr. Berger. Here. Count what's in our pockets. Don't be shy. Do you know what I notice about you? Yes, just say it. That you always talk when you're not asked. Thank you. What am I seeing here? You should wait in your rooms. That was an order. I have a question. Did Mr. Berger, Mr. Engel, Mr. Nell put any clothes in the cleaning? Yes, there's a list. Everything has to be listed. I want to show you the office. We defended ourselves well. No terrain lost. What did you ask for? I was looking for bloodstains. Bloodstains? They told us straight to our heads. You brought Tobbe here. I told you, no terrain lost. No? No things given for cleaning? Not for the whole room? Nothing. Thank you. You're Lansing, right? Yes. Do you know that you're the only one who heard a shot? The only one? Yes, the only one. No one here in the house heard him. Maybe you were mistaken. But no, I heard him. That's why I woke up. Don't get yourself into trouble. What do you mean? That's a statement you're making that you might have to sign. So what? Don't worry, think about it. You can go. I don't know what you're assuming. Lansing is an absolutely reliable man. I want to tell you what I suspect. Things happen in this house that you have no idea about. But that's... That's how it is. Listen, I want to be taught every step that this Berger takes. Please call me as soon as he leaves the house. Good, if you want to. He has to sign up anyway, in the original book. Original book? Yes, it's necessary, in the interest of the old people, so we know where to look for you if you get lost. Goodbye. Thank you. Goodbye. Good day, Miss Toppe. Good day. I'm here because... Because I... Because you want to talk to your grandfather's friends. Yes. I have to take care of everything here, the registration and... Yes, I understand. Miss Toppe, talk to Mr. Berger, but also talk to the others, okay? And then call me, okay? Yes, I will. Trust me. Goodbye. We are really very... very sad. You have to believe us. What happened? Why was he murdered? It will all come to light again. But one thing is certain. The murderers will not get away unscathed. Not at all. Yes? Yes, when and where? Yes, and how? I mean, taxi or... Ah, yes, thank you. Sorry, it was the director. Berger has signed up for the original book. He's going to the theater. Excuse me? Yes. Take a look at the bat. You just wanted to tell me something about this Josefa Schönheit. Yes. She is a friend of my grandfather's. A very close friend. Berger was also a friend. Even a very good one. But a few days after the death of his best friend, he goes to a surgery. Do you understand that? No, I don't understand that. He's not going to the theater. It's just a pretext. He has something else in mind. What did Berger say about the murder of your grandfather? He said, the murderers will not get away unscathed. When does he leave? Already at 3 o'clock. To the bus stop. So Berger wanted to meet this man. Now we have to know who it is. If the two separate, they hang on Berger. I'll take the other one. Hello, what is it? Berger, human child, is that you? Have I changed a lot? Not really. Do you want to come in? Gladly. So I can see the old man again. I've come a long way. Do you have night duty? Yes. Tell me, how does it live, patient? Bad and right. The main thing is that the bones stick together and the head stays clear. Hasn't changed much, has it? Not really. That means a few technical things are new. Computer, you know. Thank God I didn't do that. Is there still the cash register? Yes, yes, it's all the same as before. What are you doing? Old age home, outside in Vogelried. We all come there. To the old age home. Tell me, how is it there? Quite frankly, shit. Well, you can't choose anything in the end. You have to take what comes, how it comes. And put the sponge in. That's successful. I'm not quite through here yet. Berger went to a cafe, smoked a cigarette after another, waited until it got dark, and then went to a post office that was already closed. Post office? Yes. The horse opened it. They obviously knew each other. Berger used to be at the post office. You didn't come by by chance? No, it wasn't a coincidence. It was very clear. Post office. You say, what about the other one? Do you know who that is? No, not yet. But I know where he lives, in any case, in which house he has disappeared. He wants to go to the Fledermaus in the post office. Where is Berger now? At the train station he bought two bottles of wine and drove to the old age home. By taxi. Here. Is that your husband? Yes, that's him. Wenk Hans Martin, 28 years old. Because of a break-in. The next one? The young man from the game center. Also convicted. Because of a break-in. So that means that our old people have connections to break-ins. To professionals. I can't believe it. And I would have... I know what you want to say. For a year and a half, there has been this series of break-ins in the post office. And Berger was involved? He could have given certain people information. Also empty. And then he got involved in the loot. Can you get the files? Everything there is about break-ins in the post office. Like the details. I've already arranged that. Come on, you're already talking. When was that? Four days ago, there was a planned break-in. In the post office on Müller Street. What did you find out? Here, in the lab report. You're getting to the point. The fingerprints on the stolen car in front of the old age home are identical to the fingerprints on the attempted break-in in the post office on Müller Street. Let's go. Do you still need me? No. But I've already told everything to the criminal police. Then tell it again. The gentlemen are from the murder commission. So you heard a noise? Yes, I was over there in the other department. And then I heard a rattling noise, as if something was falling to the ground. I thought, well, there's no one there anymore. And then I went to see. And what time was that? About eleven or shortly after that. Which door was it? This one. The lock has already been renewed. And what kind of room is it? To the cash register. Here's the money that will be given to the switch tomorrow. That's what you wanted, right? And how did it go on? Yes, they apparently heard me too and were gone. They didn't see you anymore, or maybe heard you? Yes, only heard. Steps, running. And then the door to the outside. Show me which way you went. Mr. Schönfeld. This one. Mrs. Prustentz, and urgently for you. Excuse me, please. Yes, of course. Here, I opened this door. And you didn't see anything of the intruders? Yes, but I couldn't recognize them. It was just shadow. They hid between the cars. I called, hey, what are you doing there? And then... Then you got scared. Yes, so I went in and turned on the alarm system. You should have done that right away, instead of putting yourself in danger. Were you armed? Armed? Me? That's just a question. No gunshot wound? No. You know what that sounds like? Yes, of course I know that. But at that moment I was so excited that I don't remember what I heard at all. I understand that. Come in, please. Aha! Yes? Mr. Policeman. Or what are you? Is that important to you, Mr. Berger? Are you visiting us again? On duty? Or do you want to reserve a seat here? Well, I think I still have a few days, right? Well, don't say that. You get older faster than you think. And before you know it, you're locked up in the Vogelbau. Do you feel locked up? Locked up? Well, let's put it this way. To stay with the example. You can't really fly around anymore. Come on, get out of here. Come on. There's a lack of money. What money? Money are the wings of the little man. They make him movable. When the wings are too small, you can only flutter around on the spot. You wonder why you're even alive when you're not allowed to fly anymore. And why are you coming? Still Toppe. Well, it's not going very well, is it? Did Toppe think like you? As far as the Vogelcage is concerned. Yes, he thought so. What are you thinking about? Whether Toppe was not there to get a few wings to stay with your example. Can you explain that more closely? Yes. I suspect the following. He got into bad company. To the pros, maybe. He tried to improve his situation. In a way that is not quite correct. Which is not at all correct. You could get the idea. Toppe was not the man who was inclined to capitulate, which is required. Yes, it is required. Here it is required. Everywhere it is required that one gives up thinking, that one reduces one's needs, one's imagination, one's ability to act. Toppe was not the man. And you are not the man either. No. I don't know whether it is appropriate to assume the absence of Miss Schönertz as an investigation. But please, this is your bed. This is your closet. And no one sleeps here? No, the lady died a few days ago. Ah, yes. It doesn't take long. It's an absolute breach of trust. Miss Schönertz is an integral person. She has three men's coats in the closet, with bloodstains. Ah, so you put them back? Yes. And Berger went back to the original book. With him together Engel, Nell and Josef Verschönertz. For tonight? Yes. Concert in the Hercules Hall this time. Yes, it's good. They are just getting on the bus. Keep in touch, we'll be there now. Maybe they really go to the concert. We'll see. Yes, hello? Yes. Which post office? Wait a minute. The call-in decentralized. Someone called half an hour ago that a post office would be attacked tonight. It's Derrick. Who called? What kind of voice was it? An older one? Yes, you have the call-in on the radio. Very good, we'll come down right away. Schlesinger? Yes, who? Yes, go ahead. Hello? Excuse me, am I connected to the criminal police? Yes, what is it? Who are you? I just wanted to tell you that a call-in will take place tonight. What? At the post office. On Paulischstrasse against 10. 10.30. Be careful, one of the men is armed. Hello? Berger. His voice is very clear. Do you understand that? No. Neither do I. You were standing there for an hour at the start of a post office. When the magic started in there, I recognized myself. A real thing of the past. We thought, like lazy old birds, we should grow some wings, so that we don't just sit on the pole, but can fly a little, move the mind, not rustle. And then you came up with the idea to rob the post office? Yes, you express it differently, of course, but right. I accept that. What else is left for me? Yes, I have made my knowledge and my local knowledge available. By and large, professional criminals. I can't say anything against this designation, because it is correct. We have a list of the post office burglaries here. If you look at them. Yes, that's right. It has always gone well here. And we even got money, not too much money, you can't say that. The output was precisely considered, lean. Kerkhoff had shared the main share with his people. But the wings, they are growing again. Was the porter invited from your home? No, he only got money from us when we came home late at night. Silver money? Yes. We couldn't stay away from him often enough. Were you all there at the burglaries, too, Toppe? Yes. That may have been wrong. Wrong and unnecessary. But the experience as such exercised a certain charm on people who no longer experience anything. And then the post office came in Müllerstrasse. Toppe and I were inside. The other three were waiting outside, on the street. It went wrong. Toppe turned himself in. Yes, he did. He prevented a murder. Why are you telling me all this now? The murderer would have denied everything. There was nothing, nothing to prove. Hence the anonymous call that the post office would be attacked today. Didn't you get the bullet out of Toppe's body? Yes, we did. There was only one possibility. This one. To deliver the necessary weapon to you. You can let us go, Mr. Derrick. Strong voices, colorful autumn. Thank you for being there and thank you for your like.
