Karl: M...
	Momma...
	W-what is this...?

["Report on the investigation into Margot Langer's death]
[Herflich Detective Services"]
[Margot Langer... real name Herenka Novakova.  Born in Prague, Czechoslovakia, 8/12/1955.]
[Illegally immigrated into former West Germany in 1970.]

 - Page 120 -

[Worked as a high class call girl in Munich.]
[Most of her customers were big businessmen and polititians, and she gained a small reputation among the upper echelon.]
[Among her clients was Hans Georg Schuwald, the sponsor of this commission.]

Karl: Father...
	You still...  still wanted to know more about Mother...

[She had a son by Schuwald at age 23.]

Karl: The boy's name was...
	Karl...

<<Margot: Okay?!  Listen to what Momma tells you, Karl!!
	Take this money and ride the train on line 5!!
	If you stay here, people will keep calling you the son of a whore...

<<Karl: Everyone says we were "abandoned" by my father.

<<Margot: He didn't abandon you...
	Because Momma doesn't hate him.

<<Karl: Momma...

<<Karl: Momma!

Karl: The boy has been moved around with several foster parents...
	He has seen a lot of things...  and had some splendid parents at times...
	But he was lonely...
	Always lonely...
	...heh, of course it doesn't say that in the report...

[Afterwards Margot Langer remained a high class prostitute, but retired in '92.]

[Before she left, she may have become involved with the head of a black market bank, although this has not been confirmed.]
[Furthermore, this "Black Market Bank" had been laundering money for the German underground for about 5 years, since 1991...]
[It held a monopoly on the process, which is the service of taking illegally gained money and exchanging it for safe, legal currency.]
[Margot Langer then left to live in Offenbach, in the state of Hesse.  This is a photo of her apartment at the time.]
[She lived with a young man of about 18 years, although their relationship is unknown at this time.]
[On 11/2/95, Margot Langer's body was found on Heide Street.]

 - Page 124 -

[According to the police file, the murder was done at random and no suspect was ever found.]

Karl: Momma...

[Also...]
[Margot Langer sent a letter to her friend 3 months before she died.  I managed to get this letter and make a copy."]

Karl: That's...
	Momma's writing...

["...I've quit that job, and am living a very quiet life right now.]

 - Page 125 -

[What I think of most in this peaceful life is my son...  and also my friend who tried to leave Czechoslovakia with me...]
[She was captured at the border and taken back to Prague.  Afterwords she bore twins and is now living happily...]
[Oh right, I recently met a young man the same age as my son.]
[His face looks just like my friend in Prague.]
[Talking with him feels just like I'm talking with my own son...]
[I'm sure he's been raised into a fine man.]
[He must be living happily somewhere...]

 - Page 126 -

[This I believe with all my heart."]

Karl: It's okay, Momma...
	I'm not lonely anymore...
	Father wanted to read this letter to me...
	I finally understand what you meant when you said...
	"I don't hate him"...

Karl: It's okay, Momma...
	I already...
