action

Kressin brings his girlfriend Ines to the airport, and as soon as he has said goodbye, the next lady hits his sights. When he sees her getting out of the Sievers Rolls-Royce and into a sports car in the parking lot , he follows her on the spot.

An assassin with a sniper rifle waits hidden in a building next to the Bundestag building in Bonn . When a man with a yellow suitcase gets out of a taxi and walks towards the building, he is fatally hit and collapses. In the crush of passers-by, an accomplice of the assassin steals the suitcase and stows it in a waiting car, but then walks on and disappears on foot. The assassin calmly goes to the car, gets in and escapes undetected, while the police and forensics take care of the dead.

Meanwhile, Kressin follows the lady from the airport to the Mondorf ferry and has to wait. The assassin uses the same ferry, enters it on foot, hides the yellow suitcase on the ferry and leaves it at the last moment while it is already casting off. The lady pursued by Kressin goes into the toilet and comes out with the suitcase. So he follows her through the city to a luxurious property, the villa of a recently deceased scrap dealer named Lamprecht. Kressin gets out of the car and looks around while she meets Sievers inside and hands him the suitcase. It contains photos and sensitive documents that would convict Sievers of illegal arms deals. The murdered man wanted to make it public, so Sievers had him out of the way.

The police manage to track down the taxi driver who drove the victim from Bonn Central Station to the Bundestag building, and he knows about a striking yellow suitcase, which is no longer there. Kressin appears at Inspector Holbein's because he had found out about the murder and wants to tell him that he knows where the suitcase may have gone. The identity of the deceased is now also established and leads to Vienna . There Kressin contacts the local inspector Marek and learns that the file "Wild", as the dead man was called, has already become a state case there and that it is about arms deals. This closes the circle, because Wild wanted to meet with Member of Parliament Dr. Meet Huppenhauer. He sits on the Defense Committee and had determined that it makes more economic sense not to scrap old military vehicles and weapons, but to sell them to “needy” countries. The arms dealer Nobiling was responsible for handling these semi-legal transactions. It had annoyed him for a long time that Sievers kept ruining his business.

Since the disclosure of Sievers' involvement in the arms trade had failed, Nobiling is forced to approach him to come to an agreement. Kressin drives back to Villa Lamprecht and suddenly appears during this conversation. He makes it clear that Nobiling sent Wild to blow Sievers - that would have eliminated him as a competitor. Since Sievers had noticed this, he again had the informant removed before he could pass the documents on. The police arrive and arrest everyone - this time Sievers too. But while the police are taking him to the car, it is blown up in front of their eyes and Sievers is able to escape again.

background

Also in this episode, an investigator from another crime scene has a guest appearance: Fritz Eckhardt appears as Inspector Marek. The two journalists Friedrich Nowottny and Ernst-Dieter Lueg can also be seen. Paul Verhoeven, the director's father, himself a filmmaker and actor, can be seen here in one of his last roles. When it was first broadcast, the film had a market share of 56%. The later crime scene commissioner Eberhard Feik had his first television appearance here, as a police sergeant at the federal building.

Nobiling, played by Paul Verhoeven, is also the surname of the second "imperial assassin" on Wilhelm I in 1878, Karl Eduard Nobiling , who died in prison that same year after attempting suicide.

Locations

The filming locations extend over Cologne, Bonn and the Eifel. Nobiling's office is in a building on Gustav-Heinemann-Ufer in Cologne. As Nobiling walks past his window, the Cologne south bridge can be seen in the background diagonally opposite. In Bonn, Kressin gains access to a restaurant in which he finds a murder victim who is in the house at Am Boeselagerhof 15 . The Bonn Opera , which is diagonally across from it, serves as a background in one shot. In addition, the Ernst-Moritz-Arndt-Haus in Bonn at Adenauerallee 79 serves as the embassy of the fictional state of Abanda. The Villa Lamprecht , in which Sievers resides, is located in Kommern . Outdoor shots were shot in Kommern on the corner of Kölner Strasse and Gielsgasse. Two more scenes were shot at the Mondorf ferry. The ferry travels from the left bank to the right bank of the Rhine.
