action

Two sisters from the “Liebfrau” monastery appear in Wilsberg's second-hand bookshop. There, 1.5 million euro cash are gone, the Cellerarin , generated by financial proficiency on the stock exchange of the Order, Sister Christa. No sooner has Wilsberg quartered himself in the monastery for his research as an alleged non-fiction author than a murder occurs: Yevgeni, the most pious of the three Polish construction workers who are doing more than just trying to restore the substance of the dilapidated building, is found with a broken skull.

That calls the homicide squad on the scene. While Overbeck falls head over heels in love with the young nun Lisa, his boss Anna Springer is looking for usable clues, and Wilsberg comes to her aid - he has already found a hair at the crime scene as part of his theft investigation and collected DNA samples from the sisters. Wilsberg's friend Ekki Talkötter from the Münster tax office recognizes Christa's great financial talent in the bookkeeping of the monastery and would like to benefit from it privately, but fails because of her conviction that she only evoked evil through her business. Therefore, she wants to resign from her position as cellarer, but the abbess cannot accept that as she has to rely on her financial skills to prevent the real estate investor Hollerbach from buying up the bankrupt monastery and converting it into a retirement home. Hollerbach sends Alex Holtkamp, ​​his new employee, to the monastery for negotiations.

Alex learns that the young sister Lisa is not a nun at all, but an informant smuggled in by Hollerbach, and that Hollerbach is only pushing ahead with the construction of a retirement home while he is actually planning a much more lucrative luxury hotel. While she is picking up Lisa from the monastery, who is no longer needed there, some ricochets from shots that Overbeck fires into the air in a chase trigger a chain reaction that causes part of the monastery to collapse, but the nuns manage to get through Prayer to stop the collapse. Impressed by this, Alex reveals the identity of sister Lisa and takes a stand against her boss Hollerbach, while Overbeck is able to arrest the construction worker Marek after a brief duel.

Yevgeny happened to see the nuns hiding the money when he was in the crypt to pray. When Lisa then took the 1.5 million, he wanted the money back because you couldn't steal from God. Hollerbach ordered it to disappear in order to be able to maintain the financial pressure on the monastery. Lisa informed Marek, who got the money and silenced his colleague Yevgeny.

Trivia

The running gag “Bielefeld” is linked in film minute 58, when Overbeck presents the result of a DNA analysis and reveals a criminal past of sister Helena, who used to embezzle funds as an authorized signatory at a shipping company in Bielefeld and was imprisoned for a year was.

In the dialogues of this episode, the Ten Commandments and numerous other real or modified Bible quotations are incorporated, even if none of the sisters is involved in the conversation.

A scene between sister Lisa and Overbeck, who is in love with her, quotes the Loriot sketch Die Nudel . Overbeck hands her a bouquet of daisies and does not notice that a white petal is stuck to the tip of his nose, which leads to the well-known dialogue "You have ..." - "No, don't say anything ...".

In another scene between the two it is underlined that Overbeck has no first name in the series. Asked by Sister Lisa for his first name, he replies evasively: “Inspector. Commissioner Overbeck. "

criticism

Tilmann P. Gangloff from tittelbach.tv is satisfied: "Director Martin Enlen has shot some really good 'Wilsberg' thrillers and, with 'God's work and Satan's coal', is again linked to the quality of his penultimate episode, 'The needle in the garbage heap' , on. While his low-tension episode 'Murderous Return' looked like an educational film on the financial crisis, the latest work has everything that the series' friends can appreciate. "

TV Spielfilm gives the thumbs up and classifies the episode as a “cheerful, rippling crime thriller”: “A new 'Wilsberg' episode has not been an event for a long time, the series has arrived in a state of humorous background noise, where the case doesn't matter and dialogues with different successes have to tear everything out. Script author David Ungureit ("Männerhort") delivers - especially in the banter of the nuns among themselves - some pretty ironic sentences, without ever causing any serious crime suspense. "
