Stumme Wut is a German television film by Daniel Helfer from 2007. It is the 35th episode of the crime series A strong team with Maja Maranow and Florian Martens in the leading roles.
action
Detective Chief Inspector Verena Berthold and colleague Otto Garber try to prove that brothers Carsten and Olaf Hecker have been trafficking and forced prostitution of Thai women. After a failed raid, the men know that the investigators are targeting them and are now doing everything in their power to destroy evidence of their machinations. Olaf Hecker also threatens Verena Berthold that they would "always see each other twice."
The next day, an attack was carried out on a judge who luckily survived. Otto Garber is now concerned about his colleague Berthold, but the judge does not believe that the Hecker brothers were behind the attack, but rather the former criminal Joachim Krischka, who threatened him massively after his conviction. Krischka, who has been free again for some time, denies it and neither his fingerprints nor any other traces can be found that point to him as the perpetrator. After a baker's wife is found who has been tortured in a similar way to the judge, Reddemann's team is also involved in this case. At first there is nothing that connects the woman with the judge. Only after intensive study of the trial files do the investigators come across an old case, the child abuse of Tim König, in which Judge Harms had ruled. The baker was involved in the process as a witness and she blames herself for looking away for too long. For fear of not getting the lease for her bakery extended, her husband had testified for Tim's father, so that he was not convicted.
The commissioners fear that there could be a third victim and, during their research, come across Stephan Petersen, who at the time worked in the youth welfare office and has now switched to the registry office. Petersen was found shot the next day. Residents claim to have seen a taxi in front of the door at the time of the crime, and since Tim König's brother drives a taxi part-time, the now grown-up Tim König comes under suspicion. But when he is about to be arrested, it turns out that his childhood trauma has caused him to suffer from a phobia that makes it impossible for him to leave the house. The investigators concentrate on Tim's brother Markus, with whom he lives. When the search is on for him, Olaf Hecker is already after Markus König.
Berthold and Garber find connections between the murdered Petersen and the Hecker brothers, since Petersen had obtained false papers for their illegal prostitutes. It quickly becomes clear to them that Olaf Hecker killed Petersen and that Markus König got in his way on his personal tour of revenge.
Olaf Hecker can be arrested and his brother finally has to answer for human trafficking and forced prostitution because the investigators succeeded in persuading one of the Thai women to make a statement.

criticism
Rainer Tittelbach from tittelbach.tv thinks, “'Stumme Wut' touches on two 'explosive' topics, human trafficking in the red-light district and child abuse in a 'good home', and packs them very cleverly into the format corset of the ZDF series' Das strong team '. This is not a thriller for fine spirits. It pops in every now and then, is staged in a straight line, exciting and brilliantly cast. "
The critics of the TV magazine TV Spielfilm give the best rating (thumbs up) and say approvingly: “Machinations in the red light district are here logically linked with violence against children. A thriller that is as courageous as it is straightforward. "Conclusion:" A neighborhood thriller without fashionable frills. "
