"I asked myself if my character is now dying of serial death," said the 71-year-old. Baumgartner explains why it had to come to this: "The end of the season, as it was broadcast now, was an opportunity to reunite the two brothers." There had to be a "valid reason" for Martin Ellmau not to leave. "If Lisbeth is doing badly, then he has to stay."
