Rufmord

48 mins

Lena Schühle is generally well-liked: Her supervisor promotes her to head of marketing at the Hamburg welfare association, and the employees at the sheltered workshop also appreciate her dedication. But suddenly, a discriminatory post about ableism appears on Lena's social media account. It has been hacked. At the same time, she receives threatening letters, pieced together from words cut out of the association's newsletter. Whoever wants to harm Lena Schühle is clearly someone from her professional circle. For Lukas Petersen and Bente Hinrichs, more and more suspects come into consideration. When a fake video featuring Lena Schühle is released and an explosive device detonates in her mailbox, it's clear: The person who wants to destroy her reputation is prepared to do anything to achieve their goal. Meanwhile, at Precinct 14, the officers say goodbye to their watch commander, Helmut Husmann, who is taking early retirement and moving to Denmark to manage a miniature golf course. Daniel Schirmer is tasked with reviewing applications for Helmut's position-and rejects each one with a different excuse.
