Adrian and Laura have gone into hiding and put out to be wanted. While on the run, Adrian commits another murder; Laura initially takes a liking to the Bonnie & Clyde- inspired life on the run and threatens a walker with a gun who catches her having sex in a stolen car. Later, the two of them hide in an empty apartment in a high-rise estate in Cologne, not far from Adrian's mother, whom Adrian took care of after his brother's suicide and his father's death. The brother jumped from the skyscraper roof after he had been beaten up again by his father; the father fell drunk from the balcony - Adrian later admits to Laura that he pushed him. Tobias Reisser, Ballauf und Schenk's new colleague, can intercept a call from Laura and persuade her to reveal her whereabouts. He storms the apartment, but is overwhelmed by Adrian. Adrian flees to the roof with Laura, pursued by Schenk and Ballauf. He releases Laura and escapes arrest by jumping off the roof to her death.

Reviews
“It is remarkable that those responsible for this beautifully photographed, masterfully rhythmic and, admittedly, a bit intrusively quoting Cologne 'Tatort' episode dare to follow the inner logic of the killer couple. Public-law explanations are largely left out. "
“[…], Spectators and commissioners know from the start who is looking for: Adrian and Laura. After Bonnie & Clyde from the Rhine. The acquaintance here also has dramaturgical charm, as a spectator you slowly rattle towards the abyss with the two of them. And Ballauf and Schenk don't even have to stop at the sausage stand to look into the river, hoping for inspiration. "
TV Spielfilm rated the film as average; he offers "good actors" but also a "thin, predictable story". "Only the scenes with Bettina Stucky as Adrian's mother remain in my memory".
Audience rating
The first broadcast of Kartenhaus on February 28, 2016 was seen by 10.61 million viewers in Germany and achieved a market share of 28.0% for Das Erste .
