The lodged tarot card effectively rules out what is initially suspected to be a suicide and the team are called in. Kunz is immediately assigned to learn more about the tarot, which, being Kunz, freaks him out considerably. When Brandtner comes across a tarot reader's card at the victim's house, Kunz is sent to get a personal reading. Kunz apparently has a hidden sensuality. Who'd have thought? When Natascha gives him a crystal, the team are now able to compare her fingerprints against those on the first tarot card.
When the card reader, Natascha, asks Kunz who recommended him and names the victim, Natascha immediately denies knowing her. Uwe Keller, who is seen cutting newspaper of the dead woman out of the paper, certainly seems to. Shuffling tarot cards, he pulls out a card with three swords. This appears to the chosen method of death for his next victim and Keller later attacks an architect as he returns to his car, stabbing him three times in revenge for taking Sabine away. Aha. Stolen girlfriend? Sounds like a motive to me.
As people arrive, Keller panics and leaves the scene, dropping the tarot card by the body.
Both tarot cards are found to have Natascha's fingerprints on them and so Brandtner heads off to question her. Keller has been in her house and so when Brandtner arrives the door is open. Oddly, he finds the murder weapon hidden behind a set of books. While this might seem to indicate Natascha is the perpetrator, Brandtner thinks it is all too obvious.
Keller has meanwhile drawn another card, the chariot. This time the intended victim is Natascha herself and he follows her as she leaves police headquarters after being questioned by Brandtner. About the push her under a train, she is inadvertently saved when someone interrupts Keller's plan by asking for directions to Schoenbrunn.
Interestingly, it comes to light that a co-worker of the tower victim also died recently. It appeared initially to be suicide but when Natascha is found to be a common link between victims also, Brandtner is suspicious and talks to the dead woman's sister. It seems that the dead woman had been a friend of Sabine and had sent her to consult Natascha about her relationship with Keller. Natascha had advised her to end it.
There's your motive.
Keller is at Natascha's home, arranging a fake suicide attempt. When Natascha arrives home, she is lured by a noise to the garage, where Keller attacks her and places her unconscious in her car. Running the engine, he plans to give her carbon monoxide poisoning. As Brandtner arrives, Rex alerts him to the situation in the garage and Brandtner manages to rescue Natascha in time while Rex chases down Keller who has made his escape on bicycle.
