action
When he happened to be taken hostage himself, the police psychologist Dr. Richard Brock to mediate between Sebastian Ulmer, who has been taken hostage out of desperation, and the police. Ulmer gives Brock a chain and shoots himself in front of Brock's eyes. The senior police officers accuse Brock of interfering in their work. Ulmer was a pedophile who had been found with child pornography. During the attempted arrest, Ulmer shot down a policeman, fled and took hostages. Everything is clear to the police and there are no open questions for them; but this explanation seems too simple for Brock - he wants to find the cause of the drama.
He meets Ulmer's sister and his parents, as well as a vicar general whom, as Ulmer had asked him, he gives the necklace. The vicar is dismissive. Brock instructs his daughter, who is a police officer, to find out details of the police investigation for him. The mother implies that the vicar abused her son.
Ulmer had attempted suicide at the age of 9.
The vicar visits Brock again and says that Ulmer had experienced terrible things - he could not say more precisely. He is later shot by Elmer's mother.

Reviews
Rainer Tittelbach from Tittelbach.tv wrote: “ Racheengel is the second episode of the loose psycho crime series Traces of Evil . Director Prochaska, author Ambrosch and leading actor Heino Ferch consistently continue on the path of reduction. It is an extremely intense, pleasantly bloodless film. Freud's longing for death enlivens the consistently exciting characters and lies above the images of Vienna in an exclusive twilight state. Strong equipment, masterful camera, brief dialogues and scenes whose intimacy is frightening. A film that seduces. "
The critics of the television magazine TV Spielfilm gave it the best rating (thumbs up).
