Nord bei Nordwest: Im Namen des Vaters

SYNOPSIS

At a traffic control, Hannah Wagner and Hauke Jacobs find a cut finger in a suitcase. The driver, in whose car the suitcase was, claims not to have known anything. He pulls out a lawyer's business card. He's there immediately, talks alone to his client - and shoots him. He was evidently a cleaner, a criminal service provider who would remove all traces if the worst came to the worst. At the same time, Ansgar Brandel, the pastor in Schwanitz, is collecting money for a young widow in need. When he told the gang boss Mateo Talamantes about it while visiting prison as a pastor, he had a suggestion: He had just lost one of his messengers, and the pastor could like the job. He just has to drive a suitcase around every now and then. And if, contrary to expectations, there is trouble, here is his lawyer's card. Ansgar Brandel accepts - but at the first rest the car and the explosive drug load is promptly stolen from him. Namely from Stella, Jules veterinary fellow student. The two of them want to free a few unsuitable apes together and so unexpectedly get into the killer's sights.
