action
The 62-year-old Manfred Depke is found dead in a forest. His dissolved wife speaks of a complaint against her husband by the social worker across the street, Sarah Herzog.
While Bernd Borgwardt, who was accused of rape, was released from pretrial detention by his friend Czau's testimony, the victim Nadine suffered the emotional consequences three weeks later.
Sarah Herzog looks after four young women during the day, including Nadine. Depke's colleague Berger hints at private phone calls that his wife shouldn't have known about. Lisa Stein doesn't want to reveal what the calls were about - namely phone sex, as it turns out a little later. Her boyfriend is Bernd Borgwardt, who is urged by various sources, including the dealer Scholz, to persuade Nadine to withdraw her rape complaint - and promptly he threatens her on the night's way home and puts pressure on her roommates Kim and Eva.
Meissner from the drug squad finds out about Depke's cause of death in forensic medicine and then takes on Czau, who works as his undercover agent. Meissner is on Dealer Scholz and Czau should keep him up to date.
Nadine is found brutally beaten after her testimony is confirmed. Odenthal encourages her in the hospital and promises to find the perpetrators. So Borgwardt is set first. Meissner demands his immediate release and carries it out without consulting Kriminalrat Wolf. Forensic doctor Patrick Herzog has since discovered that Depke died from a drug cocktail. Borgwardt goes to the hospital and subtly scares Nadine and her roommates. He is successful: Nadine takes her own life.
Ms. Depke admits to Kopper that she gradually administered the medication to her husband after she found out what he was doing with Lisa Stein and could no longer stop using it.
Becker compares the footprints on Nadine's back with those of Depke's crime scene. A search in Czauczik's apartment not only reveals suitable combat boots, but also intimate photos of Depke and Stein. Sarah Herzog also combined that Lisa Stein was hired by “Boogie” to put Nadine under pressure. Kim is said to have served as an informant. She uses this to lure Borgwardt into a trap and shoot him as an alleged burglar.
Czau systematically blackmailed the Freier Steins and gave Depke "just a couple in the face" on the day of the tattoo. Meissner from the drug squad had promised Czau impunity if he kept him up to date and the drug deal with Scholz went over the stage.

criticism
Rainer Tittelbach from tittelbach.tv writes: “The special merit of this 'crime scene' is that it does not draw its tension from the 'Whodunit', but rather cleverly combines moments of the psychological thriller and the 'problem film'. A charismatic bad boy and consistently convincing actors do the rest. Seldom recently was it so unrepentant in cheering on in a thriller as in this 32nd Lena Odenthal case, in which an amorous inflamed Kopper occasionally cheers up despite its gloomy, depressive mood. "
The critics of the TV magazine TV Spielfilm also give the thumbs up for this crime scene and believe it is: “One of the best Folkerts cases: crass and believable.” It would be “so authentic that it really hurts. n] ”would.
