Overview
- A pharmacy robbery sets the case in motion, with the pharmacist found dead and his wife unaccounted for.
- The perpetrators are three recent escapees from a psychiatric clinic, including Berg’s brother Reini, the disturbed Mika, and the violent Luke Badrow.
- The trio converges on Berg’s remote farmhouse, where the situation escalates into a hostage crisis that later ensnares his partner Franziska Tobler.
- Much of the formal investigation falls to trainee Ella Pauls, reflecting the episode’s shift toward intimate, confined drama.
- Director Robert Thalheim describes pursuing a washed‑out, raw look for an atmospheric, character‑driven story, while early reviews praise the mood and performances and fault clichéd writing, with Der Spiegel scoring it 7/10.
