The pimp Victor threatens Wilsberg before he has him thrown out of the night club that Ekki must fear for his life because he killed Jelena.
Alex Holtkamp, who works in the office of her friend Markus and his father Heinrich Faber, in the meantime asks her friend to take over Ekki's defense. Contrary to a previous arrangement with Markus, Svetlana weighs Ekki heavily with her depiction of the evening in the pub and the taxi ride to the Hotel Astor. A short time later, however, a relieving statement from the taxi driver succeeds in proving that the hotel porter also lied to the police in order to incriminate Ekki. It turns out that there is a connection between the hotel and the nightclub, both of which are owned by Nero Holding.
Alex brings home a DVD from the office, which instead of supposed holiday offers from the Merkur travel agency contains captivating images that show Ekki and Jelena in the hotel room. Markus, who is having an affair with an employee, separates from Alex. The latter then stole the locked files of their client Nero Holding from the Faber family's office. After studying these files, Wilsberg went to Rudolf Schlott's forwarding agency, which as Nero Trans. Is a subsidiary of Nero Holding and has specialized in international refrigerated transports.

There he meets Lehmann, who threatens him with a revolver. Lehmann explains to him that he wanted to blackmail Ekki with the captivating photos to stop his tax audit, as he feared that the connection between his front company, the travel agency Merkur, and his Nero Holding could be exposed. Because he thinks Ekki is the murderer of Jelena, he has commissioned the murder of Ekki, which is to be carried out by Victor in the prison cell. Wilsberg recognizes the ring on Svetlana's hand, which he has already seen in the blackmail photos, and reveals Svetlana to have taken the photos of Ekki and Jelena.

criticism
“The introduction has been implemented perfectly,” said Fabian Riedner from quotenmeter.de, “because after just 180 seconds the viewer is in the middle of the action”. The scene in the bar is "lovingly designed" and shows that "German filmmakers can create good scenes with special effects". The script contains "a good and complex story", which comes with a few twists and turns and was "implemented without major flaws" by director Reinhard Münster. The story and its presentation convey a “credible impression”, the main actors “play fantastic” and the stunts are “superbly staged”. Only the presentation provided by Ana Stefanovic and Hubert Mulzer could "not convince in parts". The episode was "worth seeing" and received a rating of 88%. The editorial team of TV Spielfilm contradicted this assessment and saw "nice guys in a walled, well-known story". The lexicon of international films was of the opinion that the film was a "(TV) crime thriller from the rather contemplative series". Barbara Hessmann from Der Westen , however, considered the episode "exciting, coherent and entertaining".
Tilmann P. Gangloff from the editorial team of kino.de judges the film series is “nice because it doesn't take itself too seriously”. Apart from the fact that an internationally operating girl trafficking ring is currently headquartered in Münster, the film is “otherwise absolutely convincing”. Korittke won his tragic role from "comical sides", while Lansink played with "dust-dry humor", so that the episode had "humorous traits". Reinhard Münster's production produces a “deadly serious, completely opaque crime thriller”. It is "a strong" Wilsberg ", is Gangloff's conclusion.
