Stellbrink - 1 - Melinda

The new Saarbrücken commissioner (Devid Striesow) takes care of an orphaned child in a hardware store.
The little Arabic girl doesn't speak a word of German, but Stellbrink quickly gains her trust. Melinda, that's the name of the little girl, takes the inspector to a nearby cheap hotel. At first everything looks as if the girl's relatives live here, but then Stellbrink realizes: Something is wrong here. He can free the girl from the room and they both flee, because three armed men are chasing after them. But why? Stellbrink's colleagues Lisa Marx (Elisabeth Brück) and Horst Jordan (Hartmut Volle) and above all public prosecutor Nicole Dubois (Sandra Steinbach), who quickly takes a very critical view of Stellbrink's unorthodox methods, also ask themselves this.
