action

Erich Bo Erichsen goes to party in Hamburg on one of his free evenings with his friends Boris Quante and Roland Petry. They get stuck in one of the night clubs and drink a lot of alcohol. The next morning, Quante is shot dead by the violent criminal Marvin Weber. As his lawyer, Quante had forgotten to apply in good time so that he could go to his wife's funeral during his last prison sentence. He hadn't forgiven him for that and had now punished for it in his own way. However, Erichsen did not notice anything and was shocked when Quante was found dead in his car in the nightclub parking lot.

Erichsen and Brenner first interview fellow party candidate Roland Petry, who, however, cannot give any clues about the perpetrator. He also has completely different problems right now, because he has great financial worries, even though he runs a bank branch. When he learns that his new housekeeper is having similar problems, he unceremoniously persuades her husband, Yüksel Özbek, to rob the next money transport. He also gets Marvin Weber as an accomplice, without realizing that he shot Boris Quante.

The KDD team is now concentrating on the rocker boss and brothel owner Rudy Mabuse. He gives small loans to people with financial problems and collects high interest for them. Those who cannot service the installments are rudely reminded of their obligations and lawyer Quante was one of these clients.

For Yüksel Özbek and Marvin Weber, things are getting serious. However, the robbery of the money transport does not go as expected and Weber shoots one of the guards. Nevertheless, the two managed to escape with the suitcases. When they want to look at their prey, however, they find out that Petry has cheated on them, because the suitcases contain only 180 thousand and not seven million, as promised. While Özbek wants to be satisfied with the small sum, Weber disagrees.

The KDD also has to take care of this robbery and learns at the bank that one of the employees has recognized one of the bank robbers: Yüksel Özbek, as he is one of their customers. Commissioner Yannick Kruse, a new colleague in the KDD team, is supposed to observe Özbek's apartment and he actually comes back there with Weber late at night. However, Kruse alone cannot stop the two and they escape.

Roland Petry now wants to break away with the millions, but his wife simply took his car. He loses a lot of time before he finds her and has the car back with the valuable cargo. In the meantime, Lisa Brenner learns from Özbek's wife that Petry had arranged the attack and so they are looking for him. At the same time, Özbek and Weber are on his heels, who are the first to stop him at the airfield, from where he wants to flee abroad with his sports plane. After the KDD team arrives, all three can be arrested.

background

It is very unrealistic that KHK Erichsen has his service pistol with him on his drinking tour and waving it around in a pub. After he was brought into the sobering cell at around 3 a.m. with 2.7 per mille of blood alcohol, despite the considerable amount of residual alcohol, he started work at 8 a.m. and shortly thereafter drove his company car with - purely arithmetically - 2.0 per mille of blood alcohol without this having any consequences.

Reviews

Rainer Tittelbach from Tittelbach TV rated the episode only mediocre and wrote: “Playful twists and turns, over-the-top figures, high tempo, good timing, top soundtrack. But if you take a closer look, 'Money rules the world' - in comparison with the other 10 episodes - does not run smoothly, dramatically and thematically. Cut and speed as a panacea; loveless handling of internal relationship conflicts; the personal involvement of Rohdes 'problem bull' is half-hearted. As always, little is psychologically correct. "

The critics of the TV magazine TV Spielfilm said: "The wild robber pistol is told in a rapid and exciting way." Conclusion: "Full steam through clichés and chocolates."

The film was released with Night Shift - We're All Not Angels on DVD.
