Border Patrol: Mother's Day

Border Patrol: Mother's Day

Late one night, Chief Inspectors Olga Lenski and Adam Raczek are called into the German/Polish Police Station in Swiecko. A male corpse was found in a bizarre forest close to Szczecin, Poland. Witnesses report having seen a car with German license plates at the scene. Adam is extremely annoyed, not least because his colleague has shown up at the station with her four-year-old daughter, Alma. Olga was unable to find a babysitter at such short notice. At the scene of the crime, Lenski and Raczek find out that the dead man is 45-year-old Janusz Kubiak, who has left behind a wife and two young children. Kubiak was a small-scale businessman working for a carpentry firm. He was apparently being blackmailed and, aside from that, had a very close relationship with Sabrina Uhl, a young woman from nearby Wüsterow on the German side of the border. In Wüsterow, Liane Uhl, Sabrina’s mother, reports that her daughter is missing. One of Sabrina’s good friends, Enrico Schoppe, had placed a tracking device on her car to protect it against theft, so that the inspectors are able to locate her car. But there’s no trace of Sabrina. Enrico is considered a suspect, but the young man, in his early twenties, remains resolutely silent, as does his mother, Heide. Working on their third case, Lenski and Raczek are spending more time together than they’d like. They have to spend the night together in the same room, and even share a bed.
