The Sad King (22/49)

.When Inspector Franz Leitmayr is forced to shoot an armed suspect threatening a young trainee, he winds up in the midst of a disciplinary hearing - and begins to doubt his own grip on reality.

Inspector Franz Leitmayr has a toothache - and that's not the only pain he's got: Police trainee Julia Winters is assigned to their buddy team for a few weeks, whether he and his partner Batic like it or not. On their way to a workshop, they get called to check out a burning vehicle on a deserted farm lot, only to have the car explode before their eyes when they arrive. Before the explosion, they caught a glimpse of someone sitting on the passenger seat. It looks like a crime and not just an accident. When they investigate the farmhouse, they find an armed man, and a dangerous standoff ensues. In the end, Leitmayr has to shoot the man dead to protect his new colleague Julia. Before he knows it, Leitmayr is caught up in a disciplinary hearing of his conduct, finding out the man he shot lives right next door from him - and the gun was a toy. Leitmayr starts to doubt his own grip on reality as well?
