Rubin - 07 - Meta
Commissioner Robert Karow (Mark Waschke) is shocked. The severed finger of a young girl is sent to him. Apparently the dead was stored in a storage for years. In one such warehouse, Karow and Nina Rubin (Meret Becker) discover the corpse that is missing this finger. The dead woman was an underage prostitute. On the search for the sender of the package, the investigators come across a film production company and the director Schwarz (Isaak Dentler), who are currently celebrating the premiere of their first feature film "Meta" at the Berlinale. The dark thriller describes the murder of the young prostitute Svenja Martin in a disturbing way. Rubin and Karow are speechless because what the police officers Rolf Poller (Ole Puppe) and Felix Blume(Fabian Busch) in the film "Meta" is a striking match for her current case.
Was screenwriter Peter Koteas (Simon Schwarz) Svenja's killer and is "Meta" his confession? Karow and Rubin can no longer question him; the author committed suicide a few months ago. The case seems settled, Koteas must have murdered Svenja, stored her body and prepared the shipment of her finger. But Robert Karow finds no rest. He immerses himself completely in the film, Koteas' enigmatic world of child prostitution and secret services occupies him feverishly. Rubin is increasingly worried about her obsessed partner, but she too is tormented by the question: is film copying life here, or is life copying film?

Wild Cards
Wild Cards follows the unlikely duo of a gruff, sardonic cop and a spirited, clever con woman. Ellis, a demoted detective, has unfortunately spent the last year on the maritime unit, while Max has been living a transient life elaborately scamming everyone she meets. But when Max gets arrested and ends up helping Ellis solve a local crime, the two are offered the opportunity to redeem themselves, with Ellis going back to detective and Max staying out of jail. The catch? They have to work together, with each using their unique skills to solve crimes. For Ellis, that means hard-boiled shoe leather police work; for Max, it means accents, schemes and generally befriending everyone in sight, while driving Ellis absolutely nuts. Against the backdrop of beautiful Vancouver — with all its unique, charming, and even contradictory neighbourhoods and subcultures — the two will have to learn what it means to trust another person and maybe actually become partners.
