Rubin - 08 - Tiere der Großstadt

Overview

The new Berlin "crime scene" with Rubin (Meret Becker) and Karow (Mark Waschke) is about two cases in parallel - everyday police work not only in the capital: The investigators are called to crime scenes in the city and on the outskirts in quick succession. In the middle of Kurfürstendamm, Tom Menke (Martin Baden), operator of the "Robista" coffee shop, lies dead in his kiosk. The robot that serves and sells coffee instead of a human stands still. A young woman (Stefanie Stappenbeck) is out and about in Grunewald, who wants to blog about the first green in the still wintry nature. To her horror, she discovers a lifeless jogger. Medical examiner Nasrin Reza (Maryam Zaree) finds boar hair in the victim's large wound. Nina Rubin takes over the investigation into the case of the dead Carolina Gröning (Tatiana Nekrasov), meanwhile Karow concentrates on the case of Tom Menke. He must have died while maintaining his barista robot. Was that an accident? Kathrin Menke (Valery Tscheplanowa) seems strangely unaffected by her husband's death, she is more interested in her cats. An old man (Horst Westphal) also catches Karow's attention: Albert can see the crime scene from his window. But are the stories he tells true? Ultimately, in both cases, the focus is on the victims' marriages. Because there were also tensions with Reno Gröning (Kai Scheve) and his wife Carolina, a great loss overshadowed the relationship. With interesting characters and actors, strong imagery and an unusual soundtrack, this film opens up a very emotional view of Berlin, this "zoo" of a city of millions. On the eighth mission by Rubin and Karow, a robot is suspected of murder - for the first time in a "crime scene".
