action

The former police officer Hauke ​​Jacobs wants to start all over again and settles in the Baltic town of Schwanitz. He buys an old cutter that will be his new home from now on. The joy of the quiet place he has chosen doesn't last long, however, because on the first evening a car drives into the harbor basin in front of his eyes. Local police officer Lona Vogt is on the spot immediately and can rescue the driver from the water, but she can no longer help him. As luck would have it, the man is the vet from Schwanitz, the place where Hauke ​​Jacobs wants to settle down as a veterinarian.

The next morning, while strolling on the beach, Jacobs discovers an abandoned fishing trawler. Without further ado, he went on board to see if everything was going well and found two men shot dead. He immediately notifies the policewoman, who immediately gets in touch with forensics so that everything can go its way. Jacobs himself looks after a parrot that he discovered in the dead man's cabin. Then he uses the time to look at the practice rooms of his dead colleague and decides to take them over together with veterinary assistant Jule Christiansen.

Police officer Lona Vogt finds out that Hauke ​​Jacobs was a police officer in Hamburg until recently. And before he knows it, he's back in the middle of police work. Thanks to Vogt's good preparatory work, it can be determined that two underage Latvian girls have disappeared from the ferry to Travemünde . And if Jacobs interprets the words of the babbling parrot called "Captain Hook" correctly, the cutter had fished the two girls out of the water. After the men most likely tried to attack the girls, they probably tried to defend themselves with the on-board pistol they discovered.

As it turns out, Jacobs was right in his assumption, because Anna Kusmin and Jewa Petrova actually got caught up in the clutches of girl traffickers. When they became aware of this, they jumped off the ferry near the coast and were picked up by the fishing cutter shortly afterwards. But they came from "bad luck", because the two men only wanted to attack them. The girls are now hiding from Viktors Berzins and Matthias Keller, their pursuers, on Thorsten Riemann's farm, who helps them. Actually, the bachelor himself urgently needs help, because housekeeping is not his business, so it looks like him. When Berzins and Keller appear on his premises and ask about the girls, he bravely denies having seen them, but then betrays them after they both begin to brutally torture him. And again as luck would have it, that at that moment Hauke ​​Jacobs rings the doorbell of the farmer to ask him if he can take care of Captain Hook, since Riemann also has a parrot and so both animals have company. Anna and Jewa use this moment of distraction to try to escape. The irritated gangsters lose their nerve and start shooting. Lona Vogt arrives, but cannot prevent Jewa from being fatally shot. But Berzins and Keller are also killed.

background

criticism

Rainer Tittelbach from tittelbach.tv said: “'Nord bei Nordwest - Käpt'n Hook' initially relies on the northern German expanse, on feelings of freedom and loneliness. Evil is slowly creeping in. The showdown will come. A bit more luck searching than genre. But anyone who believes that Holger Karsten Schmidt has allowed himself to be degetoised is seriously wrong. The relaxed beginning of the story about two murdered fishermen & two friendly killers results in particularly fine and varied nuances in dramaturgical terms. "

Michael Hahnfeld wrote at FAZ : “A man between two (red-haired) women - this is what the constellation looks like at first glance, which the screenwriter Holger Karsten Schmidt came up with for 'Nord bei Nordwest - Käpt'n Hook'. But there can be no question of 'between', because interpersonal relationships are not exactly Hauke ​​Jacobs' strengths. Every small talk is too much for him, a look, a handshake, a 'Moin', that's enough. "

The critics of the TV magazine TV Spielfilm rated: "The best thing about the north is serenity and laconicism: author Holger Karsten Schmidt and director Marc Brummond combine both with situational comedy and nice ideas." Conclusion: "Refreshingly bitter coastal crime, great!"

At fernsehserien.de you can read: "The lovable coastal thriller with strange characters, Nordic flair and human emotions is like a breath of fresh air."
