action

Although the Minister of the Interior personally wants to keep them away from a case, Moritz Eisner and Bibi Fellner drive to a crime scene and ignore the corresponding instructions from their superior Ernst Rauter. At the house of the National Councilor Raoul Ladurner they find him with blood-smeared hands, any help comes too late for his wife, she is stabbed to death in the kitchen. Their ten-year-old daughter Jasmin is critically injured and is in a coma.

Commissioner Julia Soraperra, who is to investigate the case by order of the minister and like the MP from Tyrol, appears overwhelmed. Initially, the indications point to a failed robbery resulting in death, a so-called home invasion ( s ). Eisner, however, has doubts about this theory. Ladurner has made a number of enemies in the course of his political activities who might be happy to harm him and his family, including Ukrainian businesswoman Natalia Petrenko. The MP got in the way of her deals in a committee of inquiry and Eisner suspects that she may have commissioned the robbery. Fellner also finds out that Ladurner's first daughter was a drug addict and took her own life years ago.

After the stolen jewelry from Ladurner's house turns up at a fence, one of the alleged intruders, the Ukrainian Maksym Kuptschyk, is located. However, he is silent. Meanwhile, Ladurner's daughter Jasmin succumbs to her injuries in the hospital. When it turns out that a laptop with evidence and documents from the Ladurner house have also disappeared, Petrenko is suspected of having committed a crime. After Kuptschyk was found hanged in his cell, Eisner and Fellner suspect that he did not kill himself, but that Petrenko could be behind it. Soraperra now confesses to Rauter that she is having an affair with Ladurner, whereupon she is withdrawn from the case.

During the autopsy, forensic doctor Kreindl finds out that Kuptschyk was murdered. He finds signs of regular drug use on Jasmin's corpse; he suspects that someone was deliberately trying to get her addicted. Ladurner tells investigators that his wife was a doctor and was severely depressed. She gave her daughter medication, which he noticed much too late. Ladurner had recently filed for divorce because he no longer wanted to endure the situation with his wife.

Kuptschyk's clothes are finally found in a garbage can, the blood on it comes from Jasmin Ladurner. Rauter declares the case solved. However, the investigators find out that Soraperra offered Petrenko the missing and incriminating material. Eisner suspects that Petrenko should have got Kuptschyk out of the way and Ladurner should have instigated Soraperra to do so. In the incriminating reports on Petrenko, the name of Interior Minister Schennach can be found again and again. He offers Eisner his full support with the transfer of Ladurner; in return, his name should be kept out completely. Through this "concession", Soraperra was granted cabling at short notice and managed to record a confession from Ladurner regarding the incitement to murder.

Not his wife, but he himself had administered the drugs to Jasmin in order to incite her against her mother. On the evening of the crime, the situation came to a head that the girl attacked her father and his girlfriend (Soraperra) with a knife and then stabbed her mother. When she saw what she'd done, she rammed the knife into herself. The conversation between Ladurner and Soraperra escalates, however, and Soraperra takes the weapon that she had embezzled at the scene and had with her all the time and stabs Ladurner, who is then taken to the hospital.

Reviews

Thomas Gehringer from tittelbach.tv found that the case was rather difficult to understand and that the result was tension due to the tension between the characters. Gehringer judged: "The resolution of the case is frightening and also a bit outrageous, but Gerti Drassl's performance as an overwhelmed inspector is definitely worth switching on."

Similar assessment Ernst Corinth ( Editorial Network Germany ), who wrote that viewers have trouble "this sometimes outrageous history to see through this incredible tangle of intrigue, lies and love." Some get so exaggerated and so absurd that one it easy do not like to believe. Alluding to the Ibiza affair , which became known in May 2019 , he wrote that in Austria, "as we recently learned, almost anything is possible", "but what is served to the viewer here is not trusted to our neighbors."

Christian Buß from Spiegel Online wrote that the episode was at first glance the film of the hour on political chaos in Austria after the Strache video , it would show the “criminal energy in Austria's politics, even if it was much too artful in view of the dirty reality. “While in True Lies there was a specific allusion to the new political theory of colors then applicable , this episode remains non-binding in its attempt to drill deeply into the political constitution of the country. "Against the undisguised audacity of the frank story on vodka and Red Bull, this elegantly turned aesthetic psychogram with Mozart and organic beef simply has no chance."

Astrid Ebenführer found on derStandard.at that this episode was reminiscent of a real case, namely that of the Styrian doctor Eduard L., who is said to have tortured his children for years. In this episode, too, children experienced martyrdom and were made addicted to drugs. The door sign Sweet Home, Happiness alone on the suburban villa would be enormous. In preparation for her role, Gerti Drassl watched interviews with L.'s children.
