action

Florian Merkl fell in love with his music teacher and spent a night with her on a school trip. Back again, she explains to him that he shouldn't have any further hopes. She is married and will not leave her husband. He is also a teacher at the school and started a hacker attack with a group of students. As a result, the pupils receive threatening e-mails and masked perpetrators are attacked who destroy their computers and monitors. Florian, who had withdrawn into the group's "computer center" because of his heartache, witnessed this attack. The next day he is found dead. Someone put him handcuffed on the train tracks, where he was hit by a train and killed. The autopsy shows that Florian was previously anesthetized with a very strong pain reliever.

Commissioners Bienzle and Gächter take over the case and suspect some kind of execution. You learn that Florian had a great sensitivity that he rarely showed and mostly hid behind aggression. His only and best friend was Tim Holzmann. Everyone else saw him as a loner. When they want to question Tim, they find him totally drunk. Since the boy was not in school, but obviously knew about Florian's death, he is definitely considered a perpetrator and he is brought home to sober up. Bienzle learns about the destroyed computers and tries to find out who the young people got in the way of their Internet activities. To do this, they seek out the math teacher Peter Reich, who admits to having helped his students with their leisure activities. That doesn't get the investigators much further at first, but over time Gächter finds out that the group had hacked into the commercial bank. Florian's father works there. When Bienzle approaches him, he admits that his son had secretly relieved the bank of 200,000 DM with the help of his password and a virus that had been smuggled in. But for a financial institution this does not appear to be such a great loss that one would plan such a spectacular act of revenge for it.

Bienzle asks Tim Holzmann after he's really sober again. According to his statement, two men showed up in their “computer center” late in the evening and took Florian with them. After the superintendent learns from a classmate of Florian's that Peter Reich was also earning money from the hacking business and that his wife had an affair with Florian, the math teacher becomes the main suspect. He admits that he destroyed the computers so that the hacking would stop and nothing worse would happen. It had nothing to do with Florian’s death. This is also the conviction of Bienzle, who finds more and more small clues that suggest that Florian intended to commit suicide. In particular, the behavior of his best friend Tim strikes him as noticeable. After he drove to the train tracks late in the evening, where Florian died, Bienzle followed him and was able to prevent him from being run over by a train at the last moment. Tim admits to have laid Florian on the track because he wanted it that way. So that Manu Reich shouldn't feel guilty, he had wanted it not to look like a suicide under any circumstances.

criticism

The critics at Kino.de say: “As pleasantly old-fashioned as Chief Detective Bienzle (Dietz Werner Steck) usually solves his cases, says Griesmayr. It has nothing to do with slowness; rather, with calm attitudes and great attention to detail. Authentic characters are more important to Griesmayr than trickery. "
