This is another 'yawn' episode for me. Maybe it's the recurring truck driver theme, maybe it's just the vegetable connection. Or maybe I'm just suffering from an overdose of Rex, with 25 episodes in 25 days. Whatever the reason, watching this particular episode was a struggle.
When a market stall owner and a truck driver are murdered, the only link appears to be the driver's beautiful Russian wife. In the market community, no one is talking, particularly to Stockinger and Hoeller. So, Moser, drags himself off his sick bed and goes undercover, working as a vegetable seller in order to gain their confidence.
Would you let this man (above) handle your brussels?
The team are right on the nose. The beautiful Russian is indeed important, although not perhaps in the way they initially suspect. Irina receives threatening telephone calls and is shadowed by some pretty nasty looking villains wherever she goes. When Moser figures this out and tries to keep her safe, he becomes a target too as the Russian mafia try to track down a missing shipment of explosives that her recently despatched husband has hidden.
When Moser and Irnia end up tied to a bomb set to explode in three minutes, will Rex and the team be able to save them? I'd bet my Wurstsemmel on it, wouldn't you?
Other players include Agnieszka Wagner , above, as the beautiful Russian Irina, Andrzej Musial, above, not listed with IMDB for this episode, Pawel Burczyk, above, not listed with IMDB for this episode, Janine Wegener, above, not listed for this episode and Ernst Josef Lauscher is his recurrent role as forensics expert.
Recycled Rexer Gregor Seberg, here as Gredl, already seen in Gefaehrliche Jagd, and seen later in Attentat auf Rex (2003) as Rudolf Hartmann and Christian Weinberger, not listed with IMDB for this episode but credited for Happy Birthday (2002) as Walter Sedlacek.
