7

In Dresden, Heinen tasks Keaton to investigate the untimely death of his friend Seidel. Mrs. Wagner, a neighbor who has a hobby for potpourri, mentions that Seidel had a characteristic scent when he collapsed. Ascott, a painter who lives across the street, says that he witnessed Seidel walking inside the front entrance of the apartment building. A congested doctor informs that Seidel was a war veteran with a burn mark. Heinen soon reveals that Seidel lacked the scent of death. Ascott remembers that Seidel was secretly watched by a man holding an umbrella near the front entrance of the apartment building. The doctor confirms that Seidel's burn mark was on the inner surface of his right arm. Wagner recalls that Seidel had a distinct scent of peaches when he died. While taking his dog Kurt for a walk, Heinen comes across the man, concealing a gas gun under the umbrella that contains potassium cyanide with an aroma of peaches. Kurt inhales the fumes and dies. After Keaton chases away the man, recognized as Johan Kurten, it is revealed that Heinen and Seidel were informants for the government of East Germany, while Kurten was their supervisor working for the Stasi. Mentioning that Seidel's burn mark covered a tattoo of the Schutzstaffel symbol, Heinen admits that he was blackmailed and manipulated by the government. Kurten tried to cover his tracks after the war relieved Heinen and Seidel of being informants. Heinen carries Kurt in his arms, lamenting that he lost two friends. (Source: Wikipedia)
