Part 1: 'The dark side of a counselor's life'
The story about the Austrian state counselor (in German 'Hofrat') is purely fictional and inspired by a dream by the series' author Karin Sawetz.
The state counselor is a nice civil servant. He is polite, correct and never had any issues with the law. For sure not! The Hofrat is police jurist and stands for the law and for correctness. His suit attracts no attention by anyone who has sense for style; his whole appearance is uninteresting. The only thing that makes him interesting is his position at the state where people have to pay attention - if they want or not.
Probably this situation - the forced friendliness of people who are working for him, police men and police women, the servility of the ones who were impeached and had to get in contact in the one or other way with him, in combination with the defiance against the person he really is without the job, turned his psyche into a conflict which found for its manifestation a sexual venue where the Viennese Hofrat can live his darkest dreams.
As far as he kept his dreams out of his job, the Hofrat hadn't taken the criminal path. One day in the morning he woke up with a new strategy in mind to contact persons he is interested in. He doesn't like criminals but rarely gets the chance to meet others; he thinks loudly "Why not producing assumptions for impeaching people I want to get in contact with in the one or other way so that I play a role in their life?"
