action
A young woman who is looking for help at night after a car accident sees a murderer in an empty hotel who, apparently in a drugged state, deliberately bleeds his victims in order to preserve the corpses and group them into family scenes. She escapes unnoticed and notifies the Dresden police, who are searching the scene and want to set a trap for the perpetrator who has just been absent. This fails, the murderer flees into the forest, and during the subsequent pursuit, he stabbed Commissioner Karin Gorniak. She survives seriously injured - the perpetrator escapes undetected. Karin's new colleague Leonie Winkler takes over the case, while Gorniak - after more than two months on sick leave - has himself transferred to the evidence room. She does not speak well of her young colleague Winkler, who could have saved her from injury with a shot from the service weapon, but failed at the crucial moment.
But then both discuss the case together: The seams on the corpses deliberately look beginner, which suggests a specialist who wants to lure the coroners on the wrong track. The previous dead had all been treated in the same clinic. After a police confrontation, the investigation soon focuses on the doctor Dr. Mertens and the male nurse Haimann. The two suspects are outwardly similar. Mertens lures Haimann into the clinic's underground car park, stabs him there and buries the body in the forest in order to cast suspicion on the missing person, who has apparently fled. The police find the murder weapon from the murder against Karin Gorniak, which Mertens prepared with Haimann's fingerprints, and consider the case to be solved.
Gorniak, on the other hand, remains convinced of the doctor's perpetration after meeting her tormentor in his garage. After finding a corresponding ampoule in the household rubbish she searched, Gorniak had the idea that Mertens could use knockout drops to get an alibi by drugging his wife and daughter. Gorniak confronts his wife and gives her a caffeine supplement as an antidote just in case. Ms. Mertens initially reacts negatively and considers Gorniak to be mentally disturbed; then, however, she does use the preparation before dinner with the family. Therefore, she wakes up at night, investigates noises from the cellar and meets her husband there. He drugged, handcuffed and gagged Karin Gorniak and started drawing her blood in order to murder her in the same way as his other victims. Rigid with shock and threatened by her husband, she doesn't dare to flee.
In the meantime, the body of the nurse Haimann has been found, so that the team around Inspector Schnabel realize that Gorniak was right and Mertens must be the culprit. The policemen set off for the doctor's house, where colleague Winkler is also going. Mertens persuades his wife to get rid of the inspector at the door. The doubting wife shows that something is wrong and lets her in. Winkler arrives in the cellar to Gorniak, who was able to free herself and kills the murderer who has returned from the stairwell with a surprising blow to the back of the head. Both point guns at the convict. Gorniak wants to shoot Mertens immediately because Winkler cannot guarantee that he will have to go to prison for life. When the other police officers arrive, two shots can be heard.
The next day, Schnabel confronts both police officers with the exonerating testimony of the murderer's wife. He acknowledges that both saved her and her daughter's life, and therefore generously leaves doubts about their unanimous representation that both had fired in self-defense at the same time because Mertens suddenly pulled out a scalpel.

reception
Reviews
“The Dresden 'crime scene' should now be tough instead of funny, and this requirement is also met with the episode 'Das Nest'. […] But in order to really have an effect, the psychological subtext and the aesthetic cross-references are not played out strongly enough. The corpse world, so lovingly staged at the beginning, which must have something to do with the inner constitution of the perpetrator, remains a decorative gimmick. And the growing together of the old and the new Commissioner is more asserted than made tangible. "
"The prelude to the excellent new 'Tatort' from Dresden, which has long since left its gruesome beginnings behind and with this episode, the first after Alwara Höfels' departure, finally catches up with the best teams lasts fifteen atmospherically difficult to bear minutes."
“Sentences like 'You don't choose some things' and 'You are who you are' run like slogans through 'The Nest'. Dresden has a new female investigator duo who will hopefully continue to benefit from this dynamic for a long time to come. "
“You really can't blame the episode for a lack of tension. It is rare for the crime scene to make use of classic horror and inexplicable evil. [...] At the Dresden Tatort women are allowed to be real guys. "
