Leitmayr does everything to help friends and colleagues.

action

Leitmayr is called to a murder case: A woman lies shot in the bathtub. It's Leah Wedel, a young policewoman and the daughter of the head of the evidence room. Leitmayr tries in vain to contact his colleague Batic. When he finally succeeds, he finds him in the hospital. After a car accident and minor injuries, he had global amnesia , so that he doesn't even recognize Leitmayr. He hallucinates and sees a stranger from whom he even escapes from the hospital.

Although Batic is still extremely confused, both drive to the crime scene in the car, where the proud of the LKA and Michalik from the drug squad are about to examine the apartment and find a large amount of drugs. A restaurant receipt leads Batic and Leitmayr to a restaurant. The landlord remembers the lady very well and claims that she met a man here and that that was his colleague. Franz persuades Ivo to finally remember when the man from whom he escaped from the hospital appears again. All of the mystery and the fact that Batic may have been the last Leah was with make him extremely suspicious, and he is officially being searched for. Stolze even withdraws Leitmayer from the case because of bias. Nevertheless, he discusses the case with Proud, which is totally opaque. Leitmayr doesn't understand what Leah Wedel got his colleague into, whereas Stolze thinks it could just as well be the other way around.

Batic is now on the run and can now remember a little. But he's already being searched for on television, so he gets new clothes and disguises himself with a hat and sunglasses. Shortly afterwards, he meets the mysterious stranger again and tries to take a picture of him with his cell phone, but fails. He turns to Leitmayr, who secretly helps him create a phantom image , which is finally a clue. Leitmayr goes to Leah's father and tells him that he doesn't think his daughter was a dealer. He shows him the phantom image, but Wedel doesn't know the face. Leah would have always told him everything, and he couldn't imagine that she kept secrets from him. But it occurs to him that after a night shift two weeks ago, she didn't speak to him, which has never happened before. Leitmayr then goes to Leah's old colleague to question her, but supposedly nobody knows anything.

Meanwhile, Batic investigates Leah's apartment for clues and takes her ID card with her. Then he meets with Leitmayr again, and with the ID they come to Leah's place of work and to her desk unnoticed at night. They find their last case, "Red Deer", which has been under observation for months. On a surveillance DVD it is obvious that a piece is missing. They copy the DVD and when Leitmayr comes into the office the next morning, Stolze calls that Batic's car has been found. It's 20 meters deep in a ravine and the murder weapon is in the car. Of course, Leitmayr can't believe it, he gives Proud the DVD and the phantom image, and he should watch it and then add 1 and 1 together. Leah saw something she shouldn't have seen, and all the evidence just smells like cover-up.

When Batic was discovered in Leitmayr's car, he was followed and caught by the entire police force. Stolze suspends Leitmayr on the spot because of disability, and Batic is imprisoned. He rioted in his cell because he saw the stranger again. The surveillance camera clearly shows that there was absolutely no one else there. He has to realize that he is really only hallucinating. So he doubts himself and no longer rules out that he could actually have killed Leah. Leitmayr is convinced of his innocence and continues to look for exculpatory evidence. He can be shown at the KTU Batics Wagen and finds the exit hole of a large-caliber bullet. Proud, confronted with these facts, Batic releases from custody, and all three drive again on the path that Batic presumably covered on the night of the murder. There is a small chapel near the accident site. Batic goes in and recognizes his ominous stranger in the figure of Saint Sebastian . He runs back to Leitmayr and Stolze while they are shot and a bullet hits Batic life-threateningly. He is brought to the clinic in dramatic images of resuscitation. He briefly remembers Saint Sebastian and says it to Leitmayr. While he is waiting in the hospital corridor, Stolze appears and admits that he was right all along. When Leitmayr tells him about the figure of the saint and Stolze immediately goes to the chapel, Leitmayr realizes that Stolze himself is behind everything. When he wanted to get the original DVD that was hidden behind the figure, Leitmayr provided him, and Stolze had no choice but to admit everything, including Leah's murder.

Batic is slowly getting better, and he finally has his memory back. But Leitmayr is justifiably worried about his colleague, because Michalik has cheated into the clinic and wants to silence Batic for good, which Leitmayr can prevent at the last moment.

When Batic is released from the hospital again, he drives Leitmayr to Wedel and they explain the connections to him. On Leah's last night shift, she saw a suspicious car pull up at the monitored restaurant “Red Deer”, the sequence that was missing on the drug investigators' DVD. She follows the car to a parking lot, where she sees Stolze, Michalik and her father exchanging drugs. Her father had exchanged it shortly before the annihilation, so that no one ever noticed anything. Proud had the contacts, and Michalik made sure that his narcotics investigators didn't notice. In her need, Leah had turned to Batic, her old instructor, and given him the DVD with the full recordings. When he found that she was being watched and he was being followed, he hid the DVD, had the accident shortly afterwards, and then woke up in the hospital with memory loss. As sorry as they are, they have to arrest their old colleague Wedel.

Reviews

"We can't believe it, the inspectors play like young gods, and it's so exciting that we forget to blink every now and then."

- Feridun Zaimoglu : The time

“The connection between the art of acting and intense imagery makes 'We are the good guys' a more than good 'crime scene'. The willingness of the makers to take risks has paid off. They have shown that well-known material can also be captivating - if it is properly packaged. "
