Die Chefin: Season 4, Episode 5

4 - 5: Landlust

Vera Lanz and her team have every reason to celebrate: in a spectacular solo effort, they arrested the long-sought Ingo Blume, godfather of the south-west drug cartel. But after the fall is before the fall: The next mission blows up the victory celebrations just as Vera and Trumpeter are getting closer. Musician Theo Gottlieb was stabbed to death with a pitchfork on his farm. Vera is quickly convinced that Marcus Schüttler, Gottlieb's girlfriend's ex, is the culprit. However, in the course of the investigation, other suspects join Shaker. The victim's brother, Christoph Gottlieb, was only able to sell their farm after his death in order to finance the reopening of his architecture office.
Gottlieb's girlfriend also had a "valid" motive for killing her lover: her 15-year-old daughter Alexandra claims to have had a sexual relationship with the murdered bohemian. In addition to investigating rural machinations, Vera Lanz also has to fight on her own front: Dominik Schneider, head of the internal department, is investigating Vera in connection with Blume's arrest.
