Season 2 | Episode 2: The dance of death

WaPo Berlin

Crime, Germany 2021

Selda Bektas, the frontwoman of the successful breakdance crew, "Berlin Beasts", is found dead in the waters of the River Spree. Fahri, who knew Selda well, is especially saddened by the news. He has been training young people in Berlin's Prisma nightclub for years, a club run by Fahri's best friend, Tom Naber. It doesn't take long for Selda Bektas' death to be proclaimed a homicide - and Fahri? Contrary to the advice of Wolf, Jasmin decided to keep Fahri in the team. No one knows the kids better than he does. In addition, evidence points to the fact that just before Selda's death, violent disputes had taken place within the "Berlin Beasts". The breakdance troupe, built around the four friends Mahmud, Christopher, Jenny and Selda, was close to breaking up. Could this be why Selda had to die? The WaPo discovers that just before an international Dance Talent Show was to begin, Selda had already thrown in her towel and refused to participate. She preferred to study instead of waiting for a big breakthrough. Everything points to the impulsive Mahmud, who could have thrown Selda into the water. For him, it was about much more than a little fame and money. It was about his very existence. The performance on the show would have lent him the legitimacy to remain in Germany legally. Or is it all about something more? The future of the club and its perfect waterside location? In the end, the WaPo reveal the mystery surrounding the tragic death of a young girl and the cases solution is not only bitter for Fahri.
