Polizeiruf 110: Monstermutter

SINOPSIS

After careful consideration, Chief Detective Olga Lenski decided to re-orientate herself professionally and to quit her job. The decision was not an easy one for her, the only one who informed her about it was her department head Karol Pawlak. Her original plan to take the remaining vacation time with her daughter Alma and then quickly and painlessly say goodbye to her colleagues is thwarted by an acute dangerous situation: In Frankfurt (Oder) there is a brutal, fatal attack on an employee of the youth welfare office who ordered Karol Pawlak Olga back from her vacation. Adam Raczek is angry and disappointed when he learns that his partner is quitting her job. When did she plan to tell him that? His trust in his colleague has been shaken, and a scandal breaks out between the two of them. But Adam knows that he cannot do without Olga in this case. The young perpetrator, whose identity and motive are initially unknown, is fleeting. She appears to be extremely violent and dangerous. When the getaway car is found, there is a first clue that leads to the identity of the perpetrator: It is Louisa Bronski, who was released from prison on the morning of the crime after serving a two-year prison term. The only person Lenski and Raczek can interview is their mother, Nicole Bronski, who had no contact with her daughter during her prison sentence. One of the few people who have visited Louisa in prison is a lawyer named Hannwacker, whom Olga Lenski seeks to find out where the fugitive could be. But Olga does not return from the questioning and Adam and his colleagues are seriously worried because she does not respond to their calls either. When the police find the lawyer seriously injured with a gunshot wound in his office, it is clear that Olga Lenski is in danger.
