Ep. 9: Keaton assists a woman with lost documents on a train to Basel

9

On a train from Düsseldorf to Basel, Keaton helps a woman who lost her purse containing her ticket and passport after passing through Cologne. He pays for her ticket, and she gives him a jewel while forcing a stop at Koblenz. She claims to be Louise von Hohenstaufen, a Bohemian noblewoman pursued by the StB since World War II. Keaton encourages her to sing a folk song to bypass customs. At the border, he realizes she is German, not Swiss. She reveals her true name is Helmina Welf, whose family was separated by the Inner German border. Her husband Rudolf and son Otto disappeared into East Germany ten years ago. She gives Keaton a ring as proof. Later, Keaton meets business partner Daniel O'Connell and confirms the gemstone originated in Saxony, leading him to accept her story as true.
