Nordic Murders

Pain threshold (1x12)

Air date: Nov 05, 2020

Erika Brunner (Lore Stefanek), the mother of Dr. Dirk Brunner (Max Hopp), dies in a luxurious retirement home. The prosecutor learns that nursing service manager Kerstin Matthies (Ingrid Sattes) had apparently abused his mother. This hits Brunner all the harder because he was in a relationship with Mrs. Matthies until recently. A short time later, the nursing service manager disappears – a violent crime? Brunner comes under suspicion. The prosecutor, who has been stalked by journalists and bloggers, seeks support from his opponent Karin Lossow (Katrin Sass), of all people. She hides it – in the area of the bison enclosure where she works. Brunner sees himself as the victim of a conspiracy and suspects that the perpetrator is someone he has put behind bars. Together with the ex-prosecutor and Ellen Norgaard (role Öyööpff), Brunner investigates his old cases. In the process, the three of them come across a murder case in which he does not play a laudable role.
