Die Chefin: Season 6, Episode 4

6 - 4: Geiselnahme

Two dead police officers, a fugitive and Jan Trompeter as a hostage. A race against time begins for Vera Lanz and Paul Böhmer to save their colleague. Trompeter quickly saw through his hostage-taker. The man is a layman and receives instructions on his mobile phone. But who is behind the murders and Trumpeter's kidnapping? A hit in the DNA database only appears to lead to the culprit. David Förster, no stranger to crime, seems to have Trumpeter in his power. When Vera and Böhmer follow Förster's trail, it ends in a dead end: Förster has been in a coma for two days with the consequences of a heart attack. While Vera and Böhmer try to clarify how Förster's DNA got to the crime scene, the gunshot wound forces Trompeter's hostage-takers to hole up in a pharmacy.
