Despite hundreds of indications from the population, there is no concrete trace and the DNA of the perpetrator, which could be found on the bag, may not be evaluated due to legal regulations in order to determine phenotypic characteristics of the perpetrator. Commissioner Schnabel struggles with data protection regulations and staff shortages and engages in verbal battles with media representatives. He is personally affected and upset because he is burdened by the disappearance of another boy three years ago, which he has not yet been able to explain. A tip from the school authorities directs suspicion to Rico's swimming coach, who was friends with the victim's family.

Finally, Henni Sieland, who is working through the files of the previous missing person in the hospital, notices a connection between the two cases: The water meters in both affected families were replaced shortly before the children disappeared .

reception
Reviews
“The young director Dustin Loose (student Oscar for the short film ' Settlement of a Thing ') can stand the incompatible and irreconcilable standing in the room without comment. The audience is thrown back on themselves in the best scenes of this multi-perspective thriller. Seen in this way, 'Déjà-vu' [...] is a 'crime scene' for the mature viewer - and a real push for modernization for the MDR, who often acts so unhappy and backwards in his 'crime scenes'. "
“[...] the episode 'Déjà-vu' is now more conventional, more serious than its predecessor. […] And it actually works better. Director Dustin Loose [...] tells a clearly structured 'It happened in broad daylight' story. And because the audience knows more than the investigators, they can concentrate on the characters' psychologies: How the perpetrator's surroundings are once again not looking before the crime. How everyone looks after the fact - but there are no reliable indications from the population. "
“The authors Mark Monheim, Stephan Wagner and director Dustin Loose show a city that is completely lost in anger, sadness and powerlessness. A city that is about to explode from the heat. 'Déjà-vu' is a punch in the pit of your stomach, not measured by the usual standards of the crime series, but by how a deeply disturbing topic can be told intelligently, cautiously - yet as hard as a rock and with a consistently great ensemble performance. "
“In this 'crime scene', which is pleasantly noticeable compared to other episodes in the series, a lot happens without words. Situations are decided by looks. Words could add little to the emotional worlds of excessive demands that the actors make appear here. "
"Turn on? Absolutely! Perhaps one of the best crime novels on the subject in 60 years. Since the classic ' It happened in broad daylight ' [sic] with Heinz Rühmann as an investigator and Gert Fröbe as the child murderer. "
