action
Chief Detective Otto Garber, his young colleague Linett Wachow and Ben Kolberg complete shooting training in a sports shooting range. After Garber and Wachow leave, the facility is attacked by three masked perpetrators and the shooting attendant is killed. Various large-caliber weapons are captured. Ben Kolberg, who is still on the toilet, can no longer intervene. However, he believes he recognized Nathalie Brombach, a childhood sweetheart from school, among the perpetrators. He gets into a conflict of conscience because he doesn't want to betray Nathalie, but first of all to find out how she got into this criminal gang. He makes private contact with her under a pretext and after he is sure that it was really Nathalie he saw during the attack, he informs his colleagues.
One hot lead leads to Alexander Krischka, the owner of the car, who was seen near the shooting range on the evening of the crime. When Garber and Wachow visit Krischka, they find him lifeless in his apartment. He was addicted to drugs and died of a heroin overdose. The autopsy shows that he could not have fired this last shot himself, but was murdered because he was an unwelcome confidante.
The fingerprints in Krischka's car lead to Niko Schrader and Mario Happelt. Since it is not clear whether there are other accomplices, the suspects are not arrested, but under observation for the time being. According to Kolberg's research, they stole the weapons in order to be able to use them shortly. So time is of the essence because Natalie couldn't tell Ben what the group was up to. Only after Niko Schrader was incapacitated after an accident, Natalie contacted Ben Kolberg to ask him to stand in for Niko. So the investigators learn that the trio is planning to rob a money truck. Team boss Reddemann then has the bank cancel the transport at short notice and arrest Mario Happelt at the same time, because he works there and has provided the gang with insider information.
When Niko Schrader finds out that Ben Kolberg is a police officer, he does everything in his power to eliminate the "traitor". Only the timely arrival of Garber and Wachow saves his life. However, both Niko and Nathalie die when they are accessed.

Reviews
Tilmann P. Gangloff from Tittelbach.tv said: “For the first time in the long history of the crime classic 'A strong team', an episode is named after one of the characters involved, and rightly so: the heroine Nathalie ensures that the film of the same name is shown of the 67 episodes of the series to date. Roland Ruso Richter has turned the interesting script by Leo P. Ard into an exciting, aesthetically high-quality crime thriller that confronts Ben Kolberg with a dilemma: He loves a woman who is planning a capital crime. "
Critic Franziska Schuster from the Frankfurter Rundschau gives only a medium rating and thinks the story is “told too woodcut.” This time “the actors only manage to wrest some tension from the wooden script towards the end, the central conflict remains unconvincing.” “Until the If the film has the story where it wants it to be in order to initiate the showdown, the ensemble of seasoned actors has to recite through a loveless and mechanical dialogue book that leaves no room for playful freedom and stifles every spark of tension with immediate clarification. Stefanie Stappenbeck, whose lines are particularly stilted, is hit hardest. Her character doesn't think, she spits out sentences like the artificial service intelligence of a smartphone. ”But the critic finds a little bit positive and writes:“ In the finale, author Leo P. Ard and director Roland Suso Richter still make it to bring some speed and life into your film. "
Julian Miller at odds meter. de evaluated: “Lentrodt's licked, boyish demeanor and the dualism of Nathalie's girlish fuss, her penetrating chuckle and her calculating coldness, which is never sensibly resolved, are a hard-to-bear combination." Crime. "
