action

The body of the fisherman Thomsen is found in the harbor. During the investigation, Ronny Brandt, whom Bukow knows from earlier, and his father Dieter turn up at the crime scene, but refuse to give any statement. In addition, the journalist Nina Berger appears, who knows that the murder weapon was a Makarov and also knows the right caliber.

The detective chief inspectors Bukow and König found no evidence on the victim's ship, but discovered a Federal Cross of Merit, which Thomsen was awarded for his work as an escape helper . Detective Inspector Thiesler also determined that Thomsen suffered from terminal skin cancer. Meanwhile , the sailor of a Polish trawler tries to strangle Ronny Brandt, but loses the fight and is found dead shortly afterwards.

König asks the journalist where she got her information from, but cannot find out anything from her. In some of Berger's photos, she discovers a truck that belongs to Hannes Wondrak, a fish supplier. König follows the vehicle and lands in front of the “club” of Veit Bukow, her colleague's father.

During a conversation with Dieter Brandt, Bukow now learns that the Polish trawler is using prohibited fishing nets and that Ronny and Thomsen sprayed the boat with butyric acid and cut the nets shortly before Thomsen died. Meanwhile, team member Pöschel tries after he has found out that Bukow's father might have something to do with the murder, convulsively convicting him and thus also pushing Bukow from the executive chair, on which he would like to sit himself. When he finds a video recording that proves that Veit Bukow was at the port that night, he sees himself at his destination.

In the evening, Ronny organized the other fishermen to sink the Polish trawler, but Bukow arrested him in good time. In order to get information, Bukow then lures the Polish captain from his ship, but only learns that Dieter Brandt was right and that the Poles actually used illegal nets. Brandt denies that any member of his crew had anything to do with the Thomsen murder.

In the meantime, König has found out that Thomsen was the interface for the sale of illegally caught game fish. She believes that Bukow's father was behind the scenes. Pöschel also finds the cartridge case in Veit Bukow's car, which practically convicts him of murder. Röder therefore withdraws the case from Bukow and hands it over to King. This determines that the illegal fish trade is just a side business and that Wondrak is smuggling refugees in his truck. König then asks the journalist again, who finally admits to writing a story about people smuggling.

While Pöschel is searching “Vitus Club”, Bukow breaks into King's office in order to be able to read his father's case file. This is how he tracks down Wondrak, who claims that Veit shot an Iraqi refugee. It turns out that Veit Bukow is the head of the escape helper and has been since GDR times.

König finds out that Thomsen shot the Iraqi refugee and was then punished by Veit Bukow by donating his share to an Iraqi school from now on. Thereupon Thomsen wanted to take revenge on Bukow and staged his own death, since he was terminally ill anyway, in order to burden Veit Bukow with it. He placed the cartridge case in his car after he was under pressure from the journalist. Since he needed an assistant, Wondrak came into play. After all, after a conviction, Veit Bukow could have continued his business. Wondrak, who sees himself convicted, admits that he shot Thomsen at his request and relieved him of his pain. Immediately after his confession, Wondrak shoots himself.

Reviews

Oddsmeter.de certified the film to offer "a change from the usual public-law crime series everyday life". On the one hand the cross-film storyline is praised, on the other hand the “seamless” combination of the “subplots about the investigators”, the “nested murder case” and the “relevant, but at the federal level hardly discussed political issues around the Baltic Sea fishery”.

The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung praised the Polizeiruf as a very well composed film, "which moves in a field of tension between many private and professional interests, which spins many threads, loses, takes up again or lets them open up" and comes to the conclusion: "The fishing war is going on just pretty well done. "

Der Spiegel certifies the film “Rostock Milieu Minimalism”, which, however, forbids “too much sentimentality”. The strength of the Rostock police call can also be seen in how “the broad-based crook [Bukow's father] was also used to play through questions of social philosophy: For Bukow senior [...] bringing GDR refugees across the Baltic Sea to the West for money they were later celebrated as heroes. But whoever brings poor people across the border on the same route today is considered a smuggler. "

Award

Charly Hübner received the Bavarian TV Prize for his portrayal in Fisherman's War . The jury judged: "In addition to his colleague, the LKA profiler Katrin König, played by Anneke Kim Sarnau, Charly Hübner plays an extremely charming mixture of cop and villain."
