action
Lena Odenthal wants to get some money from a bank before her vacation and asks her colleague Kopper to bring her her forgotten passport. Suddenly, not only is your cellphone connection interrupted, but also the server connection of the bank employees. She accompanies a girl standing in line to the toilet while an armed robbery is taking place in the bank branch. The girl stays in the toilet while Odenthal goes back to the bank. The masked bank robber hums The Girl from Ipanema as he checks the situation. In the meantime, Kopper comes to the bank branch and is amazed at the sign "Closed due to renovation" at the entrance. He recognizes the dangerous situation and stops a police car for support. Odenthal provokes the bank robber because he was left alone by his accomplice. When the girl calls for his mother, he freaks out and shoots. Odenthal can throw himself in front of the girl and is hit in the head. He unmasked and an explosion goes off. The emergency services recognize a chaos and bring Odenthal to the emergency room. The hearing of the witnesses is of little use. The loot of the bank robbers is over 4 million. Odenthal is in a coma and slowly comes with the help of the psychologist Dr. Wildensorg to himself again.
Odenthal thinks that bank robber Eltmann might have known her. There are also signs for Odenthal that the heavily pregnant bank employee Ute Schesslitz might have something to do with it - especially since she has high debts and her husband Hendrik, a chief detective, has the possibility of manipulation. In her confusion, Odenthal drives her car into a ditch. Thereupon Kriminalrat Wolf offers his colleague from the robbery department, Viereth, a position on the homicide squad. The signs are growing that Hendrik Schesslitz, who has now disappeared, planned the action. As if out of the blue, Viereth appears during the nightly observation of Ute Schesslitz, threatens Kopper with a weapon and praises himself for his perfection. He judges himself. The emergency services then find Ute Schesslitz in the lockers to collect the loot.

criticism
Rainer Tittelbach from tittelbach.tv writes: “Lena Odenthal as a seriously injured victim of a bank robbery. A commissioner looking for her identity. She was a good cop. Is it still? Can she become the same again? Matthias Glasner and the authors look extremely deep into the soul of their series character. In other respects, too, this 'crime scene' breaks aesthetically demanding with some viewing habits. ”And it seems extremely“ unusual ”“ to look so relentlessly into the soul of a Sunday evening hero. ”
The critics of the television magazine TV Spielfilm also give the thumbs up for this crime scene and say: “After an action-packed introduction, the cleverly designed story changes to soft tones. Bravo! "Conclusion:" More psychotrip than classic perpetrator search. "
