![]() ![]() Clara continues to be the best part of this series, but when Amelia shows up, she gives the girl a run for her money, proving quite a good match for Max's complete inability to function and charming the hell out of Mendel in the process. Max heads to his parent's anniversary party as they begin their stakeout, where Clara has already arrived with the new beau. Reinhardt rounds up Haussmann, cutting von Bulow out in the process. He has Reinhardt watch the apartment to discover Kiss' accomplices. ![]() But the inspector has impressed Aehrenthal ( Bernhard Schir), Minister of the Interior, and Strasser's boss. Reinhardt heads back to Strasser, who initially panics at Oskar's investigation. ![]() The apartment is where viewers saw the letters written, and there are guns and ammo under the floorboards. Vrana means "crow," convincing Oskar they've got their man. Zivko (obviously Kiss), who mentions an extremist student going by Vrana and points them to Hollandstrasser as an address. The invite leads to a Landstrasse theater where several street urchins run around. At one of the Laxenburg castles, Resch's severed hand shows up holding an invite for Reinhardt to meet his "informant." Lindner identifies the tarred hand as symbolizing The Black Hand Society, Balkan unification extremists. But Max is not the only one issuing invites. (Also unimpressed? Amelia, who initially turns down Max's second try at asking for a date, inviting her to his parent's anniversary party.) Leah does better with the girl, getting her name: Lily. Instead, Max goes back to his parents for some stuffed bear therapy with his patient, who is unimpressed. Max notes Resch's murder doesn't fit with Kiss' profile of a man hiding in the shadows, but no one reaches the fairly obvious fact Reinhardt's "informant" is Kiss himself. (Courtesy of © Endor Production Ltd/MR Film GmbH) That's not happening, though to Oskar's credit, he frames filling Max in as a "therapy session" so it can remain strictly confidential before disobeying direct orders. For his safety, Reinhardt needs to stay out of this. Strasser admits they know the sender, Lazar Kiss ( Stipe Erceg), known as "Crow," suspected of being part of Serbia's May Coup. Reinhardt returns to Strasser, who realizes the personalized nature of the message means it's too late to cut Oskar out completely. Oskar returns to his office frustrated, only to find a personal message with the victim's name - Anton Resch - and a corvus feather.Īmelia looks over the letter for clues while Lindner turns up who Resch is: one of Strasser's undercover agents. (Not the anniversary present she wanted.) As Max settles her in, Reinhardt's former boss, Strasser ( Simon Hatzl), now Director of Secret Service, pulls him from the case. Since a traumatized street urchin is the only lead, Max brings the girl to his mother to look after. That's odd the official records Lindner pulled have the victim's photo in the identification papers. But on arrival, Schwaiger's sister ( Brigitte Karner) tells them this isn't Emil. Reinhardt meets Max at the opera before heading to the lab to check out what Dr. However, when she finds it, the report isn't a couple of days old but a couple of decades. Reinhardt is called in, accompanied by Sgt Haussmann, and determines the decomposing victim is Emil Schwaiger he then heads to the archive and Fraulein Lindner, to hunt up any missing persons filed on him. She leads the police on a merry chase through Landstrasse, ending with finding a dismembered body, missing a hand. The episode starts with one who stole a watch ( Dajana Rajic). Vienna Blood is set in Vienna in the Edwardian era, but Victorian-style street urchins are universal in mysteries. ![]()
