action

The Sabuni siblings from Syria are abused as drug couriers. After complications arise with the delivery of the goods and the siblings want to flee, they are followed by the drug dealers. Hassan is killed, his sister Leila escapes and is now on the run. The next day, Hassan's body is found in the forest and Commissioner Ellen Lucas begins investigating the case. At the location where he is found, Lucas meets her new colleague Nina Friedrich, who is surprised by the cold-bloodedness of the drug traffickers, because part of the victim's intestine has been cut out, which indicates his function as a body packer .

Commissioner Lucas asked at the local refugee home whether Hassan Sabuni, whose identity could be determined from a conspicuous tattoo, was known there. In fact, he lived there and so Lucas found out about Leila, who is still on the run and is now an important witness for the police. As far as you could follow her tracks, she is probably hiding in the port area.

While trying to reconstruct the route of drugs to Germany, Lucas and Friedrich find out that the well-known Boyko Jankow brings the couriers into the country via Prague by air. His ex-wife runs a fitness studio in Regensburg and Lucas hopes to be able to follow his lead here. That succeeds and Jankow can be arrested. A thorough search also reveals the knife with which Hassan was cut open, albeit not from Jankow's DNA, but that of his employee, who is then arrested. However, due to a lack of evidence, Jankow cannot be kept in custody.

Little inspector Lucas suspects that her colleague Boris Noethen has very private interests in the transfer of the drug smugglers. He had found a necklace near Hassan that he knows belongs to Alexander Scherer. He is the son of a former police colleague for whom Boris feels responsible and whom he wants to protect at all costs. Especially now that he's obviously got caught in the drug traffickers' channel. Boris offers to put Alex on the leniency program if he surrenders. But Alex is determined to bring Leila to safety alone and to free her from the dangerous drug load. He makes the mistake and underestimates Boyko Jankow, who finds out his whereabouts and shoots Alex.

Boris has to realize that his colleague Harald Leinenweber from the BKA, with whom he was previously in training, is working with the drug dealers. To convict him, Lucas sets a trap for him. The plan succeeds and Linen Weaver is arrested.

Reviews

Volker Bergmeister from Tittelbach.tv said: Even if the introduction to the story is “fairly conventional”, the “praise” “outweighs” in the end convincing. The story becomes more and more winding, explanatory dialogues are rare. The tension builds up until the finale. ”“ The key to the solution lies in the past. It is cleverly and intelligently constructed and is appropriately resolved. "

For the Frankfurter Rundschau , Tilmann P. Gangloff assessed : "The story [...] initially seems familiar, and not only because of the special form of drug smuggling." But "the perspective is shifting [...] more and more [...] and [... ] develops [...] an unexpected complexity. "

The critics of the TV magazine TV Spielfilm : "Kriener still offers charisma and full power."
