action
Chief Detective Charlotte Lindholm is called to a case: A girl was found dead in a garbage dump. Prosecutor von Braun absolutely wanted the LKA Hanover to take over the case because he wanted the investigation to be as neutral as possible. There is a gold ribbon on the dead girl's wrist. Near the body, Lindholm finds a handmade shoe with a stamped number on it. This comes from the Hanover State Opera and was part of the performance of the opera Così fan tutte . As it turns out, the rock group "Huns" is involved in the case. The girls' costumes were sold to an establishment owned by their boss Uwe Koschnik. Prosecutor von Braun points out that Koschnik is a powerful man in Hanover who has excellent connections to the highest circles, and that it is very difficult to get to him. When Lindholm visits Koschik's bar accompanied by the public prosecutor, they only meet the dark-skinned barmaid Amber.
The autopsy of the dead girl shows, in addition to the approximate time of death, that she was repeatedly raped vaginally and anally . She was previously a virgin and was also hit with a hard object. Furthermore, she was under the strong influence of narcotics and sedatives.
Larissa Panchuk, is a young girl, smeared with blood, dressed in a torn opera dress. In the early morning she was able to free herself from the mountains of rubbish next to the dead woman. In a department store she exchanges her opera dress for normal women's clothing - without paying - and collapses when leaving the department store and is admitted to the hospital. When a young assistant doctor informs the clinic's chief physician, Joachim Bohrmeister, that the state criminal investigation office has called about a sedative , the latter sees Larissa at the same moment. He immediately telephoned someone and told them that one of the girls from the previous night was with him in the hospital.
The assistant doctor informed Commissioner Belz, Lindholm's colleague, that two packs of sedatives may have been missing; but this is not exactly recorded. Meanwhile, a hooded man appears in Larissa's room who injected her with a sedative that night. When Larissa sees him, she fled outside in horror. There she is almost run over with a delivery truck, but at the last moment she is pulled away by a nurse. Lindholm takes care of the totally scared young woman. Her findings show that she has given birth before. In the presence of a translator, Lindholm questions her. When the inspector shows her a photo of the dead girl, she sobbing as she wants to know what “the pigs” would have done with her. On the verge of collapse, she has to learn that the girl was found dead in a garbage dump. Gregor Claussen, a prominent lawyer, enters the room at the same moment with the claim that Larissa is his client. He also shows your passport with a tourist visa. The inspector desperately tries to prevent him from taking Larissa with him, and since he has no client power of attorney, she succeeds.
The dead woman is Larissa's cousin Greta. Larissa feels guilty about her death for persuading her cousin to take part in a modeling contest along with eight other girls. They were taken to a large house in Hanover, they were given nice clothes, there was music and plenty to eat and drink. When Larissa is shown the phantom of the "hooded man", she confirms that this is the man who followed her in the hospital, and also the man who gave her and her cousin injections. When Lindholm asked about the ribbon that she and Greta had on her arm, Larissa replied that Greta had received a gold ribbon because she was still a virgin.
Jan Liebermann, Charlotte Lindholms new friend, interviews Hajo Kaiser, a real estate investor who has worked his way up from a very small background, on the pretext of wanting to write a biography about him. Later he discusses with his boss Henning Brückner that he is "right in the middle" and that he would soon get to know the others too. In a forest, Uwe Koschnik violently reprimands Wolfram Littchen, the “hooded man”. He lies submissively on the floor in front of him and tries to justify himself. Koschnik, to whom the unconditionally standing man can still be useful, first hides him in a trailer in the forest. As it turns out, there were proceedings against prosecutor von Braun, but these were dropped. He is said to have gotten involved with some of Koschnik's girls. Lindholm obtained a search warrant for Koschnik's establishment, as Littchen's involvement in the “disposal” of the girls has now been proven. When a large number of the police came to search, Koschnik was seen. Lindholm tells him that he is being investigated for human trafficking and prostitution with minors. During the questioning, Koschnik turns provocatively to the public prosecutor and wants to know what he is saying about Lindholm's actions.
In the evening Koschnik lies in wait for Braun and demands that he whistle back to Lindholm. When he tries to refuse his request, he breaks his hand and threatens to harm his favorite prostitute Amber. The next morning, von Braun had Larissa moved to another apartment, much to Lindholm's displeasure. She finds out the address from her superior Bitomsky. When she looks for the young woman there and Larissa asks her to go out onto the balcony, where she wants to show Lindholm something, a shot is fired that, thanks to Lindholm's presence of mind, only hits Larissa on the arm. Koschnik meanwhile holds out to Littchen to join the inner circle of the "Huns" if he does him a big favor.
Lindholm confronts Prosecutor von Braun with her assumption that Koschnik has him in hand and lets him know that she will report him for taking advantage and abuse of office . In the meantime, an influential party organized that Larissa's father was flown in from Minsk . To her dismay, the inspector learns that he took his daughter straight from the hospital. During Lindholm's search for von Braun in the opera, she saw the lawyer Gregor Claussen, chief physician Joachim Bohrmeister, real estate investor Hajo Kaiser and banker Corneley together in the performance of La Traviata . A later search for von Braun ends with Lindholm finding him hanged in his office. Littchen, who has been arrested in the meantime, wants to make a statement in the presence of his lawyer Claussen. He confesses to killing Greta. He saw the two girls standing on the side of the road and took them with him in his car. When one of them yelled loudly, he struck, too hard, as he now knows. Lindholm has to accept Littchen's confession, even if everything in her refuses and all previous investigation results contradict it. Her superior Bitomsky also tells her that she has no other option, especially since Larissa can no longer be used as a witness.

Little Boris, who has been waiting for his mom, is put off by him that she still has to work for a while before she comes back. Cut: A young woman is dragged into a freight container.

criticism
In the television magazine Hörzu the top rating arrow upwards is given as "great" and further stated: "The case is well researched, the script, which was convincingly implemented by all those involved with verve, is of course purely fictitious." The television magazine Gong judges: "Complex neighborhood crime story on the subject of forced prostitution "And adds" closely narrated double episode, which keeps the tension for 180 minutes and offers enough space for the private escapades of the Commissioner. "Five (" very good ") out of six (" top performance ") points are given. Holger Gertz from the Süddeutsche Zeitung says: “At the scene of the crime they are currently in the experimental phase, the NDR sends Charlotte Lindholm from the LKA Hannover on two Sundays in a row. […] The author Stefan Dähnert and the director Franziska Meletzky tell this coolly and quickly, the topic does not allow jokes, so Maria Furtwängler as Charlotte Lindholm - whose face does not allow herself to joke - is the appropriate investigator. " “That many authors stuck to the idea that the private affairs of the inspectors must be included in the script.” […] Gertz comes to the conclusion “With a topic like this one could easily do without the banter around it. You wanted a commissioner like Erik Ode in the past, who had no private life. ” TV Spielfilm finds the case“ Grim, believable and extremely exciting ”and gives it four out of five stars.
