action

In a nightmare sequence, the head of the Hengasch police station, Sophie Haas, suffers when the Cologne “Oberkommissarsleiter” Hans-Peter Jogereit repeatedly rejects her application to the Cologne police for no reason and instead hires Heike Schäffer, the wife of her subordinate Dietmar Schäffer.

In reality, Schäffer's birthday is celebrated at the police station that morning when the news arrives that the neighboring mutton forest has been broken into. The owner of the affected holiday home is Jogereit. As Haas explained to her colleague Bärbel Schmied on the way, he was involved in a bribery scandal some time ago and had actually rejected her application.

During the inventory at the scene of the crime, Haas discovers that Jogereit is keeping a loaded weapon in the apartment without permission, and therefore reports him.

Sophie Haas received a call from Jogereit late in the evening. He urgently asks her to come to his holiday home because he has to discuss a secret official matter with her. She leaves Schäffer's boozy birthday party at the Aubach inn.

That same night, the head of the police station responsible for Mutton Forest, Inspector Sandra Holm, was called to the scene. There she meets the armed but in civilian dressed police Hengascher Trio Haas, Schaeffer and Smith. Jogereit is dead on the floor. When Schäffer's wife also shows up at the scene, Holm arrests everyone present.

During the questioning in the ultra-modern Hammelforster police station, the inspector was presented with a colorful picture of the imagined and actual course of this day, as each of the respondents tried to position themselves well and to harm others as little as possible. Everyone makes themselves implausible: Sophie Haas through attempts to speak “from policewoman to policewoman”, Dietmar Schäffer through being very drunk, Bärbel Schmied through hormonally-related mood swings and Heike Schäffer through clearly subjective descriptions of people around her. During the survey, the viewer is repeatedly presented with past moments in a slightly different staging, as if looking through the eyes of the protagonists.

Now the mayor of Hengasch, Jan Schulte, comes to the police station to get his girlfriend Sophie Haas released. In the dispute with the Hammelforster commissioner, he provides the crucial information with which Haas and Holm can solve the case together.

reception

TV Spielfilm wrote: “The (preliminary) series finale naturally contains everything the fan has come to love […]. Director Jan Schomburg [...] and his cameraman Marc Comes also set their own weird accents. Just how they stylistically packaged the individual statements of the 'witnesses' in different genres is great fun. "
