Even Dr. Conrad initially can't explain what happened to the victim. Only when the body is identified as fitness trainer Malte Berger and it becomes clear where he spent his final hours does the investigation get underway. The strange event is called "Men's Sanctuary" and appears to be a kind of harmless adventure playground for men. But rumors of arms trafficking, torture, and more or less legal financial transactions quickly spread. The WaPo team investigates that the deceased had filed a complaint against the organizer of the men's sanctuary, Uwe Brandis, demanding damages for providing incorrect advice. Malte Berger lost a considerable sum after investing in the cryptocurrencies recommended by Brandis. Did Brandis want to cover up his incorrect advice? Or are the connections between members of the "Men's Safe Area," including Silvio Brennemann, and the city's notorious criminal, Rocko Schmidtke, connected to Malte Berger's death? The landlady of the property, Kira Becker, who had been friends with the deceased since childhood, is particularly affected by his death. The police gradually uncover the relationship between Kira Becker, her partner Benni Lauer, and Malte Berger. To get to the bottom of the machinations, Axel and Makoye pose as "arm wrestlers" and spend a few evenings in the "Men's Safe Area," where not everything is as it seems. And when it turns out that Malte died in a game called "Tough Guys," the police must do everything they can to catch his murderer. Written by ADR Das Erste See less
