Barschel: Murder in Geneva

00:00:23 Excuse me, aren't you Mr. Barschel?

00:04:58 They had their newborn children taken away and had them given up for adoption by rich families...

00:06:48 it's a tight schedule, we've got a meeting with Patzer about the script

00:08:42 "Yes" Intercom: "Mrs. Schulte, order for the kitchen: 3 coffees!"

00:10:20 "Am I mentioned in here as well?" "In it there are successful people only!"

00:12:59 "Too bad! But maybe there is an opportunity for a new collaboration!"

00:15:05 his father, a clerk, dies at the front, his mother raised 4 kids by sewing and stitching

00:17:12 He marries Freya von Bismarck, who is 2 years younger, they have 4 children and live in a mansion

00:19:15 Only 16 days at the job, Pfeiffer gets his first assignment from Barschel:

00:21:15 All those acts fit Barschel like a glove, he was an ice-cold power seeker!

00:23:09 If there were a conspiracy the entire system would have crumbled a long time ago

00:25:00 "I can't show it to you in any other way" "Jürgen, go fetch that toy for the world's best director..."

00:30:16 From this point on there are 2 versions of the story:

00:32:43 But let's stick to the facts for now:

00:40:28 he may have taken or been given a lethal dose

00:42:45 Later, they pressured and pressured that night clerk until he recanted his original statement

00:48:03 ... we thought it was coming from the hallway and went upstairs but we didn't see anything

00:50:38 There could have been another decoy: on Friday Oct. 9, private investigator Werner Mauss lands in Geneva...

00:53:59 ...and that might be the reason why Schalk hasn't been prosecuted yet

00:56:57 in '88 they simply stopped their payments but obviously not their shipments

01:02:04 "Hello?.."

01:04:06 But it's money that tells people what to buy and what to desire, its only flaw is that it can't use its power directly...

01:06:06 Oh yeah, just thinking of yourself!"
