Mahlzeit! Hoellerer does a good turn as Oliver! in this episode. Having dinner at Moser's, he wants more, more, MORE. No wonder I get the 'Fettkiller' and 'Flacherbauch' ads. on my Clustrmaps. Luckily, he gets distracted when Moser takes a call from Dr. Graf, who has discovered that a woman's body released for burial, thought to be a simple overdose case, is anything but.
With suspicions aroused, Moser has only minutes to stop the funeral before the deceased is burnt to a crisp in the crematorium. With the body back in Dr. Graf's hands, it becomes clear that this is a case of murder, made to look like a drug overdose.
The woman's father is a key prosecutor and the family are extremely wealthy but, for some reason, she chose to live in some basic rooms in a nursery where she worked, having contact only with her mother. Moser is intrigued and spends hours watching and falling asleep to family home movies he found in the woman's flat.
Meanwhile, the father is keen to point the finger at a lovelorn gardener at the nursery, who coincidentally, has a drug abuse history. Seems like a good fit and, when the woman's psychiatrist is run down and killed (surviving just long enough to tell Moser the woman was not a drug addict and had been raped), the gardener is arrested.
But things keep eating at Moser (no, not Hoellerer - not sure he's that desperate). The mother doesn't seem to be acting appropriately, the father is getting angrier at Moser's intervention. Alarm bells are ringing. Then Moser suddenly notices on one of the home movies that the girl flinches when her father tries to touch the dog. Suddenly, alles klar!
When Moser goes to confront the mother with his suspicions, he finds her leaving the house and follows her to a bridge where she is intent on throwing herself off. Of course, Rex gets all touchy feely and saves the day and, when the mother tells all, Moser gets his man.
