action

Private detective Georg Wilsberg is hired by his friend Ekki to shadow his new girlfriend Denise because he is not sure whether he can trust her. It looks like Ekki has every reason for his doubts, because Denise has also got involved with Overbeck. She uses this for her own purposes and uses it against her alleged ex-boyfriend Gisbert Lotze, by whom she feels persecuted. In his overzealousness, however, Overbeck does not get to the accountant Lotze, but to his boss Uwe Schlachkamp, ​​who, with the help of Alex Holtkamp, ​​was able to get a case of tax evasion against him to be closed in court. When Overbeck wants to visit the man in his company Drabag Bau, he meets Alex, who was asked for a meeting by her client, but who has just found him shot dead in his office. As Ekki and Wilsberg also show up at the company shortly afterwards, Commissioner Springer has to deal with three witnesses from her circle of friends.

During his research, Wilsberg finds out that Denise is not the student she is playing for Ekki, but works for a hostess service. When Ekki hears this, it occurs to him that Denise had asked him a small favor regarding a Petite Brigitte company that supposedly belongs to her. At the same time, Commissioner Springer learns of a locker that was rented in the name of the same company, but which is now empty. Further research shows that Lotze and Denise have appropriated the misappropriated tax money from Schlachkamp in the millions. Meanwhile the two try to steal money from each other. Shortly before Denise can escape abroad, Lotze kidnaps her. He takes her on Schlachkamp's motorboat and asks her to find out where the money is. Little does he know that Denise is hiding the money right there. In the end she manages to escape with the boat and the millions.

The police arrest Lotze and he confesses to Schlachkamp's murder. He testifies that his boss wanted to confront him about the missing funds and pushed him off his boat into the water. Since he didn't want to wait until Schlachkamp makes a second attempt at murder, he got ahead of him. He met Denise at a company party where she worked as a hostess. He fell in love with her and reported about his plan, in which he then included her. But the whole time she was only interested in the millions and not in him and had manipulated everyone only for her own purposes. Ekki and Overbeck can confirm the latter.

background

Dead Hose was released on DVD along with the episode Fresh Meat from Polarfilm . Director Hans-Günther Bücking also worked as a cameraman in this episode.

In this episode, the running gag "Bielefeld" refers to a password shortly before the 11th minute that Overbeck uses to gain unauthorized access to the registry of the residents' registration office.

A homage to the Münster crime scene takes place in minute 45, when Wilsberg drives to the harbor and in the background a company hall bears the name Thiel in large letters .

criticism

Rainer Tittelbach from tittelbach.tv thinks the thriller: “For 'Wilsberg' standards, it runs rather unevenly.” The story is only “weakly played out, gags and funny dialogues are kept within limits. Ekki's love affliction depresses the mood. ”The script is“ uninspired ”, the direction is“ sloppy ”with“ subtle connection errors ”and the guest actors only show a“ moderate ”performance.

The TV Spielfilm editorial team gave the thriller a "thumbs up" and said with praise: "The case is partly over-constructed, but pretty tricky, with a weird sense of humor." Conclusion: "Münster's permanent staff is doing well."
