action

Florin Baciu, the partner in the tire trading company of Matthes Grevel, is found dead from the trunk of a car that was sunk in a quarry. The inspectors Max Ballauf and Freddy Schenk quickly determine the dazzling background of the young car madman, who had excellent contacts to the "speeding scene" and was noticed as a traffic hooligan. The car in which Baciu was found belongs to the company of Bacius' former employer Astrid Seibert. Baciu had several violent arguments with Grevel, he had often provoked him, and there are erotic images on Bacius' laptop into which Mrs. Grevel's head was mounted. Ballauf quickly found Grevel as the perpetrator, he was arrested and taken to custody, where the sensitive Grevel finally committed suicide . As soon as Grevel is in custody, his employee Otto Ziemer makes advances to Grevel. Schenk criticizes Ballauf's focus on Grevel and is furious when both are confronted with Grevel's death. He continues to investigate. Soon Ziemer is also suspicious after Grevel's son saw the employee with the murder weapon went to Ms. Seibert and they both got into an argument. He films this and forwards the evidence video to Schenk. While the boy pursues Ziemer to a lake and attacks there, Ballauf hears Ms. Seibert again. She confesses to the murder of Baciu mandated to have an insurance fraud to cover. Her contract killer was Grevel, who accepted the job in financial need. Ziemer was added when Grevel shot Baciu, helped him to get rid of the corpse and later brought Seibert back the weapon that belonged to her, where he was seen by Grevel's son.

Schenk rushes to the lake and can stop the young Grevel at the last second from shooting Ziemer. Whether Seibert was telling the truth and Grevel was Bacius' murderer, or whether she only wanted to cover up Ziemer with this statement remains open.

reception

Reviews

“A 'crime scene' with many small, strong, hard details, which is part of the better Cologne episodes. The erosion of the middle class, the little people and the great betrayal, these have been very productive topics for Schenk and Ballauf in recent years . Here the middle-class crime thriller, perhaps the most classic of all 'crime scene' varieties, is decorated with relish and laconically directed into the present. "

- Christian Buß : Spiegel Online

“In fact, 'Mitgehangen' by Sebastian Ko is one of the stronger consequences of WDR, the story is neatly constructed, everything stays in balance. [...] The dialogues by the author Johannes Rotter are fast and brittle, they fit perfectly with the world of workshops, which is doomed here, even if everyone defiantly continues to repair, mend and do. The piece has almost documentary power when a house search is not just a crime thriller, but is played out for longer. "

- Holger Gertz : Süddeutsche Zeitung
