Scene with Karin Hanczewski and Martin Brambach: In close combat with conspiracy mystics

The captive policeman says to the conspiracy mystic: "I can't believe that an intelligent man like you would believe that." The conspiracy mystic answers the policeman: "And I can't believe that you believe that you can save your ass like this." Commissar Schnabel (great emotional performance for Martin Brambach) was overwhelmed and arrested by the man because he wanted to make an example of the police officer in order to point out the alleged joint plot between politicians, the police and the »lying press«.
The "crime scene" from Dresden on Sunday led down into the fantasies of QAnon believers and lateral thinkers - but put a family man at the center of the story, who at first glance didn't seem unstable or radical.
A strong twist to make it clear how far the lies of conspiracy ideologues have now penetrated into mainstream society.
In our review we wrote: »One of the people who got so hopelessly entangled in the so-called conspiracy theories is a family man whose daughter has been missing for many years.
The investigative plot leads quite quickly to his trail.
In another terrific episode leading role for the »crime scene«, Hans Löw (»Tatort: Let the moon stand in the sky«) wisely strips away the sick core of the character: Here is a man who, with lack of impulse control and massive narcissism, has only dismantled his own family , only to find the explanation for the self-inflicted social catastrophe in fake news.
The offended man as a militant arm of conspiracy mysticism.«
Another »crime scene« from Dresden has already been filmed.
It bears the episode title "Delivered" and deals with the topic of knockout drops.
A school friend of one of the inspectors wakes up with a bloody knife in her hand next to her stabbed boyfriend, disoriented.
Is she really a killer?
The episode is scheduled to air in early 2023.
