Night Shift - The Last Job is a German television film from 2016. The thirteenth part of the ZDF crime series Nachtschicht was first broadcast on ZDF on February 1, 2016.

action

During a traffic control at the Polish border, a police chief is brutally shot. Since the escape vehicle is later discovered by target investigators in a Hamburg parking garage, the local crime service investigates . Team leader Ömer Kaplan suspects that a smuggler gang is behind the murder. Therefore, possible witnesses are searched for in the contact point for asylum seekers. Lisa Brenner first asked Odile Bakri, who had just arrived the day before. But initially she receives no information about the perpetrators, because the woman is obviously afraid.

The predominantly female refugees are brought into the country by this gang of smugglers in order to also refer the (mostly widowed) women to candidates who are willing to marry in Germany. The first time Fuad Günes and his future wife meet, an incident occurs. The woman defends herself against the intrusiveness and Günes unintentionally suffocates her in the affect. He reports the "accident" to the head of the smuggling ring, Abu Haddad, who then not only takes care of the corpse, but also has Günes "disposed of" as an uncomfortable confidante by his helpers in the Sachsenwald . Olga König, the head of the refugee home, notices the whole thing and reports it anonymously to the KDD. Both bodies are found and Lisa recognizes the dead person as Odile Bakri. She blames herself for not protecting the woman better. Through further questioning in the refugee home, she received a reference to Kevin König, the husband of the head of the refugee home.

Erichsen succeeds in catching Kevin König and is also able to identify Branko Novak as the second perpetrator. After the projectiles have been compared, it is clear that the murderer von Günes also shot the policeman. Lisa Brenner is convinced, however, that Novak, the alleged murderer, will not be arrested so easily. In the meantime she has managed to find another marriage candidate and learns that the travel agency owner Abu Haddad also operates a marriage agency. Without further ado, Erichsen reports there as an alleged customer and can convict Haddad in this way. He is arrested for trafficking in human beings and aiding and abetting murder.

Lisa Brenner, meanwhile, is determined to bring Odile Bakri's murderer to justice. She wants to meet with Odile's friend Soraya, who has decided to testify against the human trafficking ring. Since Branko Novak has also found out about it, he wants to intercept Soraya and silence him. Lisa Brenner is there in time this time and shoots Novak when he draws his gun. Lisa Brenner is accused of vigilante justice, which she can dispel at a hearing.

background

Psychologist Lisa Brenner is only thinking of quitting the KDD. For the actress Maja Maranow , who can be seen in Night Shift - The Last Job as manager of a refugee home, it was actually her “last job” because she succumbed to cancer shortly before this night shift episode was broadcast .

Reviews

Rainer Tittelbach from Tittelbach-TV rated the episode positively and wrote: “In the cleverly built crime drama 'The Last Job', Lars Becker tells of people smugglers, human traffickers and refugee women for whom the martyrdom continues in Germany. The writer-director watches the crime and its fight at work. Perfect how-tension & a successful Becker-typical balancing act between drama & crime, reality & film. The subject is not betrayed by a fine point of genre irony, on the contrary! "

The critics of the television magazine TV Spielfilm said: "Without giving a lot of thought to political correctness, Becker's flippant crime thriller touches more than some bitterly serious documentaries." Conclusion: "Unpolished, but with heart and speed."
