The brother jumped from the skyscraper roof after he had been beaten up again by his father; the father fell drunk from the balcony - Adrian later admits to Laura that he pushed him. Tobias Reisser, Ballauf und Schenk's new colleague, can intercept a call from Laura and persuade her to reveal her whereabouts. He storms the apartment, but is overwhelmed by Adrian.

Reviews
“It is remarkable that those responsible for this beautifully photographed, masterfully rhythmic and, admittedly, a bit intrusively quoting Cologne 'Tatort' episode dare to follow the inner logic of the killer couple. Public-law explanations are largely left out. "
“[…], Spectators and commissioners know from the start who is looking for: Adrian and Laura. After Bonnie & Clyde from the Rhine. The acquaintance here also has dramaturgical charm, as a spectator you slowly rattle towards the abyss with the two of them. And Ballauf and Schenk don't even have to stop at the sausage stand to look into the river, hoping for inspiration. "
TV Spielfilm rated the film as average; he offers "good actors" but also a "thin, predictable story". "Only the scenes with Bettina Stucky as Adrian's mother remain in my memory".
