Summary
When a man is hit by a train, Dr. Graf tells Moser that the man was already dead before he was hit. Moser successfully negotiates with the owner of the house he was looking at in Silent Screams (episode 15) before he and Rex take the case. They interview the man's wife and lover but, elsewhere in Vienna, a car mechanic discovers blood on a bonnet.
The good
Rex steals a ham roll from a diner, embarrassing Moser and Stocki but amusing the audience. Moser makes excuses to see the vet, Sonja Koller, until she gives him her phone number. Pay attention to Alexander Pschill as the mechanic - he returns later to become the third Inspector after Moretti and Burkhard.
The bad
The owner of the house Moser wants to rent, hates dogs. They only get the house when Rex saves the owner’s life. That was a little lame. Unfortunately there were a lot of scenes without the main characters and the guest actors (esp. George Staudacher) were not too brilliant. Or maybe I just don’t like the characters. It’s so hard to tell. |
