Past Sins is a ZDF film that is part of the series Kommissarin Lucas . Thomas Berger , directed the television film broadcast in 2004, as in the first case. For Commissioner Lucas ( Ulrike Kriener ) it is her second case in Regensburg. When two police officers were killed, Ernst Schenker ( Heiner Lauterbach ), the police chief, was targeted by his colleagues. Jasmin Schwiers is cast as Schenker's daughter in a supporting supporting role .
action
Willi Hantel, a former police officer, burns in his farmstead. The fire was started on purpose, presumably to destroy traces and to hide the true story. Heinrich Braun, Hantel's brother-in-law, who was of the opinion that the court belonged to him, is suspected. For Ellen Lucas, everything points to a perpetrator in the family until Walter Gussmann - also a police officer - is found dead. The focus of the ongoing investigation is now on Rudolf Katz, who was once arrested by the two police officers who have now been murdered and who spent a long time in prison, but who always maintained that he had been wrongly convicted.
The new Regensburg police director Ernst Schenker shows a disproportionately great interest in the case and puts Lucas under massive pressure. Lucas meets the medical student Susanne in the clinic where her husband Paul is in a coma; As it turns out a little later, she is Schenker's daughter. She offers Lucas to take care of her husband if she doesn't have time herself. She still has to do an internship anyway.
As it turns out, Willi Hantel suffered from terminal cancer and didn't have much longer to live. During her further investigations, the inspector comes across letters that suggest that Schenker's late wife Nicole was having an affair with Katz. Now the question arises, did Schenker put pressure on Hantel and Gussmann at the time, which then led to Katz's innocent conviction, which would have got rid of Schenker's unpleasant rival. Against this, however, is that an attack is being carried out on Schenker, which goes off lightly for the police director.
Schenker's fingerprints are found on the Molotov cocktail with which the attack on the dumbbell was committed. When asked about an alibi for the evening in question, Schenker refers to the statement made by his daughter Susanne. To everyone's surprise, Susanne replies that she doesn't know where her father was. Lucas then arrests Schenker. She confronts him with the love letters between his wife and Katz. Schenker denies the allegations made against him and is angry.
It turns out that Susanne Schenker received a letter from Helga Katz on her 16th birthday, from which she learned that her father was not Ernst Schenker, but Rudolf Katz, and that Schenker had put him in prison because her mother loved Katz have. Gussmann and Hantel would have supported him in his perfidious plan. Her mother wanted to leave Schenker, but she did not do so out of fear, since Schenker always checked everyone and found her everywhere. She preferred to kill herself. In contrast to Schenker, Katz knew that she was his daughter. Her mother never told Schenker out of fear for her. She then got to know her father through Helga and was with him whenever she could. He then suffered a stroke and has not remembered anything since. Helga had got him false papers so that Schenker couldn't find him. She committed the attacks on Dumbbell and Gussmann to cast suspicion on her father so that he could go to prison and know what it feels like when one's own life is completely determined by others. He should have gone through hell for what he did to her parents.

criticism
The critics of the TV magazine TV Spielfilm pointed their thumbs to the side and found: "Predictable despite sudden turnaround".
Rainer Tittelbach from tittelbach.tv summarized his criticism as follows: “She is a woman with an eye for the essentials. In the first case she had to struggle with atmospheric disturbances in her team of investigators, in 'Past Sins' she has a bitter exchange of blows with her top employer. Concentrated & exciting. "Tittelbach praised Heiner Lauterbach" as coldly calculating police chief [s] Schenker "and found Jasmin Schwiers, who embodies Schenker's daughter," was great [...] and already at the age of 17 a paragon of perfection ".
Prisma spoke of a “gripping contribution to the series, strong character drawings (also in the supporting roles) and a group of great actors who would provide“ the best entertainment ”.
