TV - Scene of The Crime: Without A Trace

Real name is Tatort, the long running German series. This one had Behrendt and Dietmar Bar. Really liked them both.

Pretty good story line, a bit overdramatic and contrived, but still very entertaining. Guy gets kidnapped in bed at night with his wife. Ends up with a bomb strapped to him, must rob bank. Guy is above suspicion, as he's very wealthy. Entire thing carried out with military precision. The bank robbery that the cops witness turns out to be not really robbery. Was an elaborate setup by Guy to kill wife's lover - the bank manager. Lots of miscellany around the villian's role in covert ops, and serious interest in Japanese philosophy.
