following any clue,

even the slightest one

that may lead us to our man

Minister, consider their findings

on the scene of the crime

We find, for instance,

behind a hedge

a little white paper bag

Clearly it held the candy

ln a corner, we found some

crumbs and some sugar grains

Within a radius of 2 kilometers,

we have searched

in all the candy shops to find out

where the bag came from

But in vain

Every day the search widens

but, of course, no one

remembers anything

Nevertheless, we keep on

searching, getting nowhere

without much hope of

finding a solution. Our men...

What good is that?

l know you're trying

but an unknown murderer

terrorizes the town

A town of four million

and your police are failing

Minister, you don't seem to

understand the difficulties

Only on the way home

of the missing child

we got fifteen different

testimonies

Just listen:
''Testimony 1478

in the Beckmann murder case...''

-You know nothing.

-More than you, Sir!

Gentlemen! Can't you agree

what color hat

that little girl wore

when you saw her?

Of course, lnspector, it was red

-lnspector, it was green.

-lt was a red hat!

lt was a green hat!

Stop! lt's hopeless.

Thank you, gentlemen

-Next witness.

-Of course, lnspector

if you listen

to a color-blind man!

The police have investigated

over 1,500 clues

Documents fill 60 volumes.

We have all available men

We have systematically

combed all adjoining areas

Every thicket, every piece

of undergrowth, every bush

in every hole,

we might find something

We sent out police dogs.

The best trackers are on the scent

to no avail.

Since the murderer's first crime

police have inspected all

the flop-houses every night

and checked the identity

of every vagrant

Such measures hurt our popularity

and make people nervous

But we watch all railway stations

and raid the underworld hangouts

Despite all this, the police haven't

succeeded in finding anything

The police. Get back!

Let me go, you dirty bastard!

Let me go!

Please let me go, won't you?

You son of a b*tch! Let go!

Let her go, you filthy pig!

Quiet! Quiet!

The head cop!

Quiet!

You'd like that, wouldn't you?

Police orders:
nobody leaves.

Get your papers ready

Quiet! C'mon kids,

let's not be stupid

lt's Fatty Lohmann!

Loh-mann, Loh-mann, Loh-mann!

Loh-mann! Loh-mann!

Quiet! Quiet!

You'll wear yourselves out

lt would be better if

you got the murderer

Yes! Much better!

Quiet! Be reasonable!

Spread out. All of you spread out.

C'mon, papers out!

-l haven't got any.

-Show me your papers

Please let me go, lnspector

Show me your papers

-l think we know each other.

-Yes, we do

To the headquarters!

With all this mess, not a client!
