Summary
A man with a grudge against Moser, Erich Fuchs, convinces his friend to help him with an armed robbery. The robbery goes badly, with Fuchs' companion and one of the security guards being killed. Moser and Rex trace the dead robber back to an apartment block where Moser and Fuchs come face to face for the first time in years.

The good
More good scenes with Moser's vet girlfriend in this episode. The police work in this episode is on a large scale - Moser and Stocki march around with groups of uniformed police officers. It was very dramatic and exciting. There was a good rivalry going between Moser and Erich.

The bad
Rex didn't feature too largely in this episode, except as a side note. There was an attempt to explore Moser's past but it could have been done in much more depth. I also don't believe that after bringing such a huge contingent of police officers, Moser would do so much of the searching without backup.

Disclaimer : Kommissar Rex is owned by Mungo film, Tauris film, SAT.1 and ORF and was created by Peter Hajek and Peter Moser. None of the characters, actors or photographs belong to me, unfortunately. I'm just borrowing them, having a bit of fun and then returning them more or less unharmed.
