An action packed episode with many, many Wurstsemmel (that's what's important, right?) and another major Recycled Rexer (see above....I think this clip is Spanish? Don't say this isn't an international site!)
More mischief from Dr. Graf as he insists on showing the mangled face of a victim hit by a train to Moser. Why would Moser be interested you ask? While rigged to look like suicide, Dr. Graf ascertains that the victim was already dead before being left on the rails. With no identity to the body, Rex again comes to the rescue, locating the dead man's watch (conveniently engraved) on the embankment.
It all looks like a crime of passion as Moser and team uncover a bitter history between the victim's wife and mistress but Dr. Graf's evidence points them in a new direction and car repair yards become of interest as they investigate a possible hit and run. Add in a good dose of blackmail and you can be sure there's more trouble afoot.
..and, in true Rex style, the blackmailer is someone quite significant, namely Alexander Pschill, later Kommissar in Series 7 and 8. Funky dungarees, Alex! Again, serious crim to admirable Kommissar, quite a transformation.
Other players, all above, include Christine Schuberth not listed with IMDB for this episode, Claudia Martini as Gerti and the late Rudi Schippel, uncredited for this episode with IMDB.
More Recycled Rexers in Dietrich Siegl, here as the blackmailer Kunert, later as Dr. Wagner in Verliebt in einen Moerder (2002), the late Georg Staudacher (who sadly committed suicide), uncredited by IMDB for this episode but listed for Toedliche Leidenschaft (1998) and also appearing in Stockinger, Alexander Pschill, of course, here as Seil and then as Kommissar Hoffmann from 2002 to 2004, and, finally, Daniela Gaets, Moser's vet girlfriend Sonya in a recurring role detailed in blog Rex Resolution 15, Stumme Schreie.
