action

Private detective Georg Wilsberg is commissioned by Ekki to examine the company “Schlacke & Co.” And to find out whether illegal workers are employed here. During his research, Wilsberg initially only found the body of the young Claudia Oppermann, which, however, again made him difficult to explain to Commissioner Springer. With a criminal instinct, he pocketed the young woman's cell phone. Before he accidentally switches it off, he sees a photo on it of Edgar Debelius, chairman of the Münster Bar Association, having sex with the victim, and is convinced that the young woman was murdered. However, since he does not have the cell phone's PIN, he can no longer show the photo. Commissioner Springer is therefore not convinced to assume a murder, especially since Debelius is Wilsberg's archenemy, as he had at the time ensured that Wilsberg's license to practice law was revoked and she trusts Wilsberg to seek revenge in this way.

Wilsberg was able to find connections between Edgar Debelius, Robert Schlacke, Giovanni Graumiller and the pharmacist Albert Pauly. All of them regularly visited a brothel, whose owner Jasmina Bergengrün was also found dead the day after Oppermann's death, and they now give each other an alibi. Since Claudia Oppermann also found her death in the brothel, the gentlemen are all extremely nervous. However, they let their influences play, with the result that Wilsbergs Bank blocks his account, the regulatory office closes his shop and even Ekki is suspended from the tax office because an internal investigation has been initiated against him.

Wilsberg succeeds in getting the pharmacist to talk, and so he learns about the so-called “hare hunt” that the four men occasionally organize with a few others such as the banker, gentlemen from the tax office and even the public prosecutor. Minors were involved in these group sex evenings, including Claudia Oppermann. Wilsberg can put a witness under such pressure that he testifies against the accused so that they can be brought to justice.

After the autopsy reveals that Jasmina Bergengrün died of poisoning, Robert Schlacke now also falls victim to an attack, which he survived. That puts Wilsberg on the trail of the real culprit. Claudia Oppermann was adopted at an early age. According to Wilsberg's research, her mother is a Ms. Maier who, under the name Maria Landwein, runs the women's shelter in Münster, where Claudia sought help. Claudia actually killed herself after learning that Giovanni Graumiller was her biological father, as her mother had also worked in the brothel. Her mother then wanted to avenge Claudia.

In the end, Maria Landwein, Debelius, Schlacke, Pauly and the public prosecutor are arrested. Graumiller lies shot in his club.

background

The song at the end of the episode is Bang, Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down) by Nancy Sinatra .

In the 81st minute of this episode, the running gag "Bielefeld" refers to the former residence of the public prosecutor ( Holger Hauer ), where he wants to be transferred again.

criticism

Tilmann P. Gangloff from tittelbach.tv says about this thriller: “The second 'Wilsberg' without Heinrich Schafmeister - and 'Callgirls' is one of the best episodes of the Münster crime comedy series to date. Ziedrich's script is narrated extremely densely, the actors clearly feel comfortable with their characters, Walter Weber's staging keeps the tension high without having to use cheap effects, and the comedy causes loud laughs. The case leads Wilsberg into the highest circles: All dignitaries give each other the handle in a luxury brothel. "
