When was that before me?" asks Leitmayr Batic when he hesitates to undertake the six-hour joint drive there and back to Traitach. The trace in the case of Florian Berg, who was found dead, leads to what feels like nowhere, a run-down place in the Lower Bavarian border area, where a group of people live together on an old farm who have renounced the Federal Republic and declared their country their own national territory. Under their leader Ludwig Schneider, the "Freiländer" run a call center where every German who has trouble with the authorities of "the so-called Federal Republic" receives expert advice and support. The free countries include the single parent Lene with her blind daughter Maria, Roland, Klaus, and Gustl with his sons Luis and Max. Florian, who was dead, was also part of the free countries. He was responsible for the bookkeeping until he fell out violently with Ludwig and went back to his mother in Munich. She soon found the son in the bathtub with his wrists cut open. The murder weapon was not found. The mother accuses Ludwig and his people. But if Florian was in the way of the free countries and they wanted to make a murder look like suicide, why was the murder weapon not appropriately deposited at the crime scene? The investigation leads Batic and Leitmayr out of Munich, in the middle of a network of strange dependencies and alliances. You meet Ludwig and his people, but the interrogations do not reveal anything. You are not advancing an inch. Actually, they wanted to go back on the same day, but then they stay - as the only guests in the Traitach inn "Zum alten Eber", where it hangs stuffed on the wall. In the past, says the inn owner Alois, the boar ate the naughty children in the village. First the feet, so that they couldn't run away, and then the rest. From his hunter's stand, he observes the goings-on in the open every day like a strange circus. He and Ludwig Schneider have a business relationship and a secret that he does not tell the inspectors either. At the end of the day, Batic and Leitmayr end up half-starved at a small gas station that still has sausage from the machine. The next day doesn't get her any further either. The imposing fence with which the open-air areas shield themselves also exists in the minds. The police status of the investigators from Munich does not count. The responsible public prosecutor has long since resigned and the head of the Traitach police station in Mooser refers to the mountains of files already accumulated on charges of trespassing, insulting officials, driving with wrong license plates and various administrative complaints as well as forgery of documents. He doesn't want any more trouble. Better to stay out of the way and eat his lunchtime roast pork in the "Alten Eber". In the resolution of this case, Batic and Leitmayr find themselves in the truest sense of the word alone. Written by ARD Das Erste See less
