Vienna Blood

Suspicion at the military school falls on an elite group of cadets with a penchant for sadism and dangerous games. Solving the case will have a devastating impact on both Oskar and Max’s professional lives.

Max and Amelia secretly visit the hospital to collect samples from Thomas Zelenka following his death.

Following the case, Max invites Amelia to tea but discovers Clara has also been invited by his father in an uncomfortable encounter.

When his nephew, a student at a military school, suffers a breakdown after a fellow cadet’s death, Max calls on Oskar for help. The school prepares a new generation of military officers, but its barbaric traditions are hidden from the outside world.

When Max’s nephew Daniel suffers a breakdown, he believes something sinister is to blame. Looking for answers, Max asks Oskar to join him on a trip to Daniel’s military school.

Max tries to convince his nephew to speak with Oskar following a fellow cadet’s death at school but Daniel quickly becomes overwhelmed.

Max speaks with Lieutenant Hafner while searching for a suspect at Von Triebenbach’s house, but the soldier soon tires of their conversation and sets his sights on Clara.

Their latest investigation draws Max and Oskar into the sphere of nationalistic groups who despise Vienna’s immigrants. Max’s fiancée is provoked into taking daring risks before the murderer’s shocking rationale is finally revealed.

Amelia is determined to rebuild her life in Vienna and decides that in doing so, she must distance herself from Max. In a farewell meeting, she voices her concerns and ultimately cuts ties with him, which comes as a shock to the doctor.

Oskar asks Max to help investigate a grotesque series of murders in Vienna’s slums, where the victims are seemingly chosen at random. The killer’s gruesome calling cards are vicious mutilation with a military blade and a penchant for arcane symbols.

Following an early departure from his engagement party to help with a murder case, Max’s sister lectures him about his work. She advises him to put forth more effort in his relationship with Clara, fearing that it’s hanging by a thread.

On an outing together, Clara asks to be more involved in Max’s life. She hopes that they’ll be able to better strength their communication with one another when they’re married, but their day together is interrupted by a surprise visitor.
