Inschallah is a German television film by Thomas Jauch from 2011 . It is the twentieth episode of the Bloch television series .

action

One day, 17-year-old Dalia Feisal is standing in front of Bloch's door. She and her mother were treated by Bloch when she was eight, but during this time she was kidnapped by her devout father to Iraq . Bloch soon moved to Baden-Baden and handed over the treatment of Dalia's mother Daniela to his colleague and friend Martin Hellmann, but he could not help Daniela. Martin is about to get married, with Bloch acting as best man.

Bloch believes that Dalia wants to contact her mother again and seeks out Daniela. She lives on pills and cigarettes and lets herself and her apartment be neglected. The loss of her daughter has robbed her of all vitality and so she reacts incredulously and emotionally to Dalia's return. Dalia, on the other hand, does not want to see Daniela and only agrees to a meeting on the condition that it remains the only one or that she can decide afterwards how it goes on. The meeting, which takes place in Bloch's study, is short because Dalia breaks it off after a few minutes. She lives with Bloch, but spends most of her time in a mosque nearby. Bloch, in turn, is visited one day by BKA officer Peter Grohmer. The mosque is guarded by the police a few days before the anti-terror conference in Cologne and Dalia's arrival has raised questions. Bloch sees no political background whatsoever, only the private conflict that he wants to resolve through therapy. Martin, who visits him in the run-up to his wedding, sees therapy as hopeless and advises Bloch to break it off.

Bloch took great care of Daniela, who had suicidal thoughts and found it difficult to accept that Dalia would reject her. She herself is ambivalent about her after the first meeting, as Dalia reminds her very much of her father in her disguise and her serious, religious demeanor. Dalia's father Basim appears surprisingly in Cologne and matches Dalia at the mosque, but she escapes. Bloch can interrupt a confrontation between Basim and Daniela by his appearance. He was visited again shortly before by Grohmer, who gave him 48 hours to prove Dalia's harmlessness and threatened to arrest him as well as Dalia otherwise. Dalia finally returns to Bloch. A doll from childhood that he put on her bed for her finally evokes emotions in Dalia and she cries. In fact, she came to Germany to die here as a suicide bomber. The explosives belt is built by the inconspicuous Abdul Tamar, whose apartment is visited by, among others, Basim, who wants to die instead of his daughter, and Dalia's confidante from the Halimah Omer mosque. A curious resident always notices these visits. Dalia, in turn, is suddenly insecure due to her emotional outburst and flees the apartment when she is supposed to try on the belt. The resident tells a police officer about her discoveries. Abdul Tamar is arrested. There are traces of explosives and empty nail boxes in the apartment, but the explosives belt is missing. Grohmer shows Bloch the apartment and he realizes that he has misjudged the situation. When the investigators want to arrest Basim, they find him passed out in his hotel room: Daniela knocked him down with a bottle and his skull was fractured. Dalia was present when the act happened and then fled. Daniela is admitted to psychiatry.

Martin's wedding will take place on the day the conference starts. The guests are gathering in front of the church when Bloch suddenly sees Halimah. He realizes that he and the BKA were on the wrong track the entire time: the target of the attack was not the conference, but the wedding. The bride's uncle is a linguist and has proven that some passages in the Koran are misinterpreted. That is why he is considered a criminal by radical Islamists and has been given personal protection for a long time. Bloch alerts the police and prevents the guests from entering the church. In the church he finds Dalia who is ready to blow herself up. He gets her to give up on her plan. Dalia is arrested. Bloch has to promise his friend Clara never to play the hero again if someone stands in front of him with explosives.
