Blutopfer

48 mins

The well-known businesswoman Viktoria Fildermann doesn't seem particularly distressed when she reports her husband's disappearance to the Water Police. Jakob, in particular, can't believe the brazenness with which the influential woman repeatedly bluffs the investigators. Her assistant, Klara Bogner, and her lawyer, Dr. Sven Leitmeyer, are at her side. Viktoria Fildermann makes no secret of her contempt for her stepson, Maxim. He only ever saw his father when he needed money for himself and his girlfriend, Thessa. Julia, Jakob, and Paul are puzzled by Nele's hesitant approach to the case. But their boss's thoughts are with her daughter Johanna, who unexpectedly shows up after two years and is clearly carrying a secret that goes beyond her declaration of love for the New Zealander, Josh. It's Mechthild who, with her worldly wisdom, quickly figures it out. Then, completely unexpectedly, someone confesses to the murder of Viktoria's husband.
