So far the toughest entry in the series, "Rehe" deals with the case of a kidnapped child. From the very beginning we know the kidnapper and the story follows him on the lookout for a child. He is a hardboiled guy who only needs the child to get money and he doesn't care who's child he takes. Even when things go wrong he is cold-blooded enough to go on. There are many heartbreaking and desperate moments.
This is the first time no voiceover narrator starts the story. The screenwriter must have realized that this gimmik is already outdated and unneccessary. We are left alone to find out what is going on. This makes the story seem even more gruesome, and the music further underscores the impending act with particularly ominous accents.
The actor who plays the kidnapper is superb. Heinz Engelmann gives his usual commissioner no matter which name he carries today, but with less edge towards his colleagues and more empathy since the victim is a child. Very much straight foreword and definitely one of the best examples of Stahlnetz".
