Law & Order (1990)
Question: Was the TV movie "Exiled" set in real time? I caught the last half hour of it on TV, and at one point, Logan makes a reference to an event from "three years ago"; the film was aired in 1998, and 1995 was Chris Noth's last season on the show.
Chosen answer: Yes, it was set roughly three years after the incident that had Logan "exiled".

Question: When Karl is cutting the phone lines with the chainsaw, what is his brother yelling at him in German?
Chosen answer: He is shouting "No, no, I'm not finished here!" as presumably if the lines are cut before he's finished rerouting them (or whatever exactly he's doing) an alarm or similar will be tripped.
