Thanks for coming.

You know,

if you'd taken better care,

my grandson would still be alive.

My condolences.

Katja, can you come here?

Good morning, Mrs. ekerci.

Developments in the investigation

mean we must search the property.

What developments?

This warrant permits us

to search your house.

Mr. Hartung from the district authority

is here to observe.

Hello.

Please stay with your visitors.

Stay where you are!

Would you please fill this out?

Gerrit, could you come here?

I found this.

- That's all?

- Yeah.

Keep searching.

- Her husband's drugs.

- Mom, stop.

- Katja!

- Stay out of this.

They're mine.

Please step into the kitchen.

Just briefly.

Can we have a minute?

Do you have more?

Possession of narcotics

violates Section 29.

You may remain silent.

But I do need you to come to the station.

To answer a few questions.

Contact my lawyer.

Don't worry, Mrs. ekerci.

It's such a small quantity,

there's no chance of prosecution.

Surely you want to know

who murdered your family.

Without your help,

we won't find the killers.

Any idea who might've done it?

Nazis did it.

How so?

His office is in a Turkish neighborhood.

Were there ever racist incidents there?

Like a pig's head in front of the mosque?

Not that I know of.

Would you like some?

How did you meet your husband?

I bought grass from him as a student.

What did you study?

German studies and art history.

Did you graduate?

I dropped out.

Why?

Your husband studied business in prison,

then opened his office.

Mm-hm.

He was a tax advisor and translator.

And he sold flights to Turkey.

Do you know how much he earned?

I did the bookkeeping.

Do you have any other work?

I was a mother.

You have a big house. Wasn't it expensive?

It's out of town and

has poor public transport.

Your husband's annual income

was 50,000 euros.

How could he afford

a 70,000 euro deposit on the house?

How do you know that?

From his tax documents.

Some of the files survived.

The money was from my father-in-law.

A loan.

Where did he get so much money?

He owns land in southeast Turkey.

Does he grow anything?

Like cotton?

Houses.

He grows houses.

You want me to incriminate my husband

and confirm your theory.

What theory?

That he was still dealing drugs!

For months, the drugs unit

has been surveilling suspects.

Some repeatedly called your husband.

Can you explain that?

My husband interpreted for offenders.

He had to speak to them.

It was his job!

- Why are you investigating my husband?

- We're not investigating him.

He didn't murder anyone!

He was murdered!

We have to assume

that your husband maintained his links

to the criminal world.

We believe he engaged
