action
Alexander "Alex" Haller is a blind, former Vienna chief inspector who lost his eyesight and thus his job in a bomb attack. Together with the taxi driver Nikolai “Niko” Falk from Berlin , he is investigating his third case.
This time, Commissioner Laura Janda asks her former boss Haller for help in solving a case. Doctor Lohberg, the director of an elite boarding school, was found burned, there are no witnesses. Haller is smuggled into the school as a music teacher to investigate as an undercover investigator because the parents' council forbade the police to question the students.
At school Haller met the teacher Lotta Behrbach, who helped him to find his way around the school. For him it is the first time since the bomb attack and the death of his partner Kara Hofmann that he feels something for a woman again. During the night, Haller and Falk gain access to the chemistry laboratory. According to the inventory list, around 400 milliliters of the perchloric acid stored there , which was used as a fire accelerator in the arson attack on the director, are missing . Chemistry teacher Robert Leyer is initially considered suspect.

Rüdiger lives separated from Gitte, Max's mother. Max tells her that he knows about her affair with the director.
Haller spends the night with Lotta Behrbach and discovers a scar. She states that this comes from an accident in her childhood. Behrbach also discovered a call from Commissioner Laura Janda on his cell phone. As a result, she researched Haller's true identity.
Max Holtinger receives a penalty mandate, he was flashed by the radar while driving fast on the night of the murder on the way from the boarding school to his apartment in Alterlaa.

Reviews
Volker Bergmeister from tittelbach.tv wrote that the crime series is increasing, the third case is the strongest to date because it gives the two investigator characters a little more depth. Screenwriter Don Schubert succeeds in creating a stringent story with false tracks and an interesting setting. "A classically narrated, solid crime thriller with a good duo that seems to become increasingly familiar to you."
Tilmann P. Gangloff, on the other hand, found in Münchner Merkur that the third film was just a thriller like any other. Measured against the two forerunners, this one tells a comparatively conventional story and the implementation is no longer out of the ordinary.
Karina Krawczyk described the film in the Berliner Morgenpost as a “masterful crime thriller”, which is not only worth seeing thanks to the strong actors. The third case is “a highly interesting, thoroughly illustrated crime thriller. [...] A thriller that is fun because everything is right about it: the narrative speed, the dialogues, the use of music. "
