Inspector Falke - On the Hunt
There have been a number of burglaries in an area and the locals don't think the police are doing much to catch the culprits. After one robbery an arrest is made; Falke and Grosz are sure the young man is guilty they don't have the evidence to hold him. That night there is another burglary; this time the householder shoots the burglar. By the time Falke and Grosz get there the man's brother is also there. They see the man they had in custody lying dead on the floor with a plastic replica pistol in his hand; the householder says he feared for his life when he shot... something is wrong about the scene though. Falke soon doubts the man's story and evidence suggests there might have been another person present... will the police be able to find this potential witness before the brother? Things aren't helped by the local Neighbourhood Watch making life difficult for the police; including action that puts Falke's son in danger.
This was a really impressive episode; it makes one question just how far one should be allowed to go when confronting burglars... especially as we learn more about what really happened. When does self-defence become vigilantism and when does justice become revenge? While the mystery of what actually happened is soon explained that doesn't lessen the quality of the episode; if anything leads to the tension raising considerable as the race to find the witness gets underway. The way the story includes people spreading information and rumour on the internet adds to the tension; especially when addresses are revealed. Wotan Wilke Möhring and Franziska Weisz impress as Falke and Grosz and are able support by a guest cast which includes Michelle Barthel as Maja, the girl being searched for and Andreas Lust and Jörg Pose as the two brothers. Overall another good episode which fans of crime drama should enjoy.
