action

During a routine trip in the money transporter , the security guard Fink observed an accident in which a young woman was hit by a car and thrown onto the street. Although he is not allowed to leave the car, Fink steps in to help the victim and is suddenly attacked with a karate blow. While his colleague Schießer is delivering funds to a bank branch, Fink is shot by one of the robbers. The murderer and the alleged woman who was run into disappear with the money transporter. Schießer finds the dying finch and later appears strangely disturbed to the investigating commissioner Haferkamp.

A little later a man is found hanged and a third of the booty is found. The dead man was a member of a judo club and Haferkamp discovers that Schießer is also a member there. Schießer, who was dismissed by the Hamburg police years ago for being overly harsh , denies the act. Haferkamp asks an artist if there is a stuntman who can simulate an accident as in the act. It turns out that the woman on the street was a man in disguise, the young Karl Werting, who is also a member of the judo club.

Werting is finally tracked down by Schießer and almost murdered. Haferkamp intervenes in time and saves Werting by shooting shooters. The other two robbers were previously hanged by shooter because he in revenge for his colleagues vigilante wanted to practice.

background

Three snares had been in the so-called poison cabinet for over 25 years and was not repeated after numerous viewers complained about the excessive brutality of the episode. Only in 2002 was the episode released again after another review by the youth protection officer and repeated for the first time in May 2003.

The scene in which Fink is shot on the street was shot on Steile Strasse in the Margarethenhöhe district of Essen .

This scene sequence is accompanied musically including through the song Oxygène (Part I) from the album Oxygène of Jean Michel Jarre .
