On January 26, 2014 at 8:15 p.m., Das Erste will show Adams Nightmare, the third crime scene of the Saarland investigative team led by Chief Inspector Jens Stellbrink. When volunteer swimming coach Sven Haasberger accepts a check for his club at a public event, the square suddenly fills with a horde of hooded figures. In a scuffle, Haasberger falls to the ground, badly injured, and the emergency doctor hardly gives him a chance from the start. Stellbrink and his team are puzzled. But graffiti quickly point to a possible motive. The coach is accused ofhave passed on his protégés. Haasberger seems to have been particularly active on the Internet in order to address children under a pseudonym. The flash mob therefore appears to be a form of lynching.
But while the case is clear for outraged parents and the public, Stellbrink has doubts. The Finn Hannu Salonen, who has meanwhile staged his sixth SR crime scene, was the director again this time. Episode roles include Inga Lessmann, Barbara Ullmann, Mélanie Fouché, Johannes Quester, Julia Schneider, Jonas Schlagowsky and Silvia Bervingas as Margot Müller.
