Operation in Hamburg – Red as death

“Einsatz in Hamburg” with star cast: Joachim Król in a double role

Joachim Król and Cosma Shiva Hagen are involved in crooked business. When a manure farmer goes missing, Aglaia Szyszkowitz, Hannes Hellmann and Rainer Strecker need a particularly good nose this time.

The Camphaus perfumery is a long-established family business with the finest address. Oscar Camphaus (Joachim Król) has taken over the business from his father, while his twin brother Gero (Joachim Król) has chosen a creative career. He is a photographer and is also doing well in the business. Oscar Camphaus is now venturing a new step: he has launched his own perfume line – the “C Rouge”. From the development of the fragrance to the marketing campaign, he controls everything himself. Brother Gero has contributed the advertising shots with Eva Sörensen (Cosma Shiva Hagen). The mood between the brothers is tense. Oscar is not satisfied with the photos, but his brother finally wants to get paid for this job. However, Oscar is in big trouble. The manhunt has been observing the perfumery for weeks in order to prove that he is doing crooked business. So two policemen are also immediate witnesses of a surprising appearance in front of the store: A farmer drives up with his tractor and empties a whole load of slurry.

The next morning, the body of Oscar Camphaus is found under a highway bridge. When investigators Wolfer (Hannes Hellmann) and Brehm (Rainer Strecker) go to question his brother, they also find his apartment destroyed – and again, stinking feces have been left behind. There is no trace of Gero.

Jenny Berlin (Aglaia Szyszkowitz) finds out the identity of the farmer. On his farm, she meets model Eva. The investigator immediately recognizes the young woman’s face, which is billboarded across town and country for the “C Rouge” campaign. Eva has passed over her husband in her dream of entering the modeling business. He was taken completely by surprise by the highly erotic advertising posters of his wife and is furious. But murder?

Another lead for Jenny and her colleagues emerges from the surveillance camera footage in the perfumery: Oscar Camphaus had trouble with his transport company….
