action
The environmental activist Luisa Christensen threatens to poison the drinking water of the city of Bremen with a pesticide if not the biochemist Dr. Urs Render will be released within 13 hours at the latest. He is in custody after he set fire to his laboratory at Sachs AG and a colleague was killed in the process. But he is absolutely silent. The threat is promoted by red-colored water from a shower in the stadium bathroom , in which an elderly lady is killed by a heartbeat. In the meantime, the crisis team is being set up and preparations for water poisoning are being made. The blackmailers hacked the camera on Helen Reinders' PC and are therefore fairly well informed.
Footage from Mali, where 57 people died and the environmental activists around Tom Vegener and Luisa Christensen are convinced that the cause is pesticides from Sachs AG, are leaked to the crisis team. Tom Vegener dies on the spot. After an ultimatum expires, the blackmailers get serious and, technically skillful, introduce pesticides into the drinking water. The water supply is interrupted centrally. Even so, there will be 17 deaths. Lürsen and Stedefreund go without MEK to the apartment from which the call to the ultimatum was diverted. They both take the elevator to the 7th floor while the blackmailers take the stairwell.
Lürsen is devastated by the deaths and the investigations in the wrong direction. Then inside information is posted by a blogger and the mob hunts down the Malian mechanical engineering student Dabo Fofana. In a panic, he calls Luisa Christensen, who pushes him away. Lürsen and Stedefreund can protect him and pass on to the crisis team that he has worked for the THW . Resolutely determined, Luisa Christensen rushes to the prepared barrels with pesticides, takes a photo and demands that Dr. Render. BKA officer Linda Selb finally notices the activated camera on the PC and turns the tables by deleting all the blackmailers' data and videos. Under pressure, Fofana announces the location of the remaining plant protection products: the Breminale . Render's daughter and wife of Tom Vegener, Luisa Christensen, meets with Stedefreund and goes to her father in the interrogation room. The commissioners pursue their division and arrest the stubborn Christensen, who still holds the trump card of the planned attack - during the press conference of her remorseful father. The courageous commitment of the investigators puts an end to the ghost.

reception
Reviews
“Baxmeyer stages the catastrophe scenario with artfully unleashed tracking shots, and Jeltsch has created the hastily convened crisis team as a wonderful panopticon of emotionally enthusiastic professionals. But there is no binding dramaturgy: The possible mass death in the city leaves one strangely untouched, and the drive of the ecoterrorists is ultimately only an unsolved father-daughter conflict. "
“Great actors, great pictures […], but the story is complicated and tends to be confusing. […] However, there is a quality when a story is told so quickly that somehow even those who do not understand the story stick to it. This crime scene is thrilling in the sense that as a spectator, as in the relegation battle, at some point you will be exhausted and hope that everything will be over soon - and that it will turn out well. Especially for the small, proud, very brave Bremen. "
