Overview
- Das Erste will air the SWR production on Sunday, 16 November at 20:15, featuring the Freiburg team of Berg and Tobler.
- The story pivots when Berg’s brother Reini escapes a psychiatric clinic with two companions and occupies the family farm, turning the case into a hostage crisis.
- The initial murder of a local apothecary recedes as the episode centers on fraught family dynamics and a long‑hinted secret.
- The formal investigation is pared back, with the inexperienced assistant Ella Pauls handling much of the police work while Berg is missing and Tobler is away on training.
- Written by Bernd Lange and directed by Robert Thalheim, the episode extends the unit’s austere tone, with reviews highlighting Felician Hohnloser’s standout performance and noting a tense, bloody emotional climax without detailing outcomes.
