action

René Wirth misses a small black notebook and wants to know from his colleague Stefan Burger whether he has found it among the waste paper where it must have ended up. At the same time, an old man's body is found in the trunk of a car. As it turns out, the dead person is Herbert Brand, a pensioner who was killed with an iron bar. When the detective chief inspectors Alexander Bukow and Katrin König, who were entrusted with the case, looked around the man's unpleasant-smelling apartment, in which there was total chaos, they came across an old woman lying in bed who was breathing poorly. The emergency doctor who was called in could no longer help her, she died. Brand's apartment has obviously been searched, and there are also indications that the pensioner tried to blackmail someone. In the course of further investigations, the officers come across Nathalie Schiecke, a formerly sought-after architect who lives in a demolished building. The daughter of the homeless woman lives with a foster family. Bukow knows Nathalie Schiecke from his school days; Back then everyone was sure that something very special would become of her one day. He shows König the beautiful house that Schiecke once owned. Further investigations have shown that the woman's name tag was on Herbert Brand's mailbox, but she removed it. She does not answer related questions.

König and Bukow visit the Schütte couple, who were friends with the pensioner. The couple was in a pub with the man on the evening of his death. When asked, they answer that the three of them left, but then went home alone, because Herbert was so drunk that he kept falling over on the way.

Schiecke, who has actually taken the notebook in question and is trying to capitalize on it, gets into trouble when a man shows up in her apartment and asks for the notebook. He offers her to do common cause because she can't pull off blackmail alone. When the king arrives, the man who is the scrap dealer Lukas Gehring is arrested. He says that Herbert Brand was his father and that he even had a corresponding test carried out. It was Nathalie Schiecke who first made his father realize that there was information in the little black book that could be used to extort money, but without her he wouldn't have buckled it up. When Schiecke is questioned about it, she denies everything. König says she should tell how it came to her descent. Suddenly she was a single parent and then everything went very quickly, house gone, no more income, no more health insurance, child gone, alcohol, etc. says Nathalie Schiecke. She wants to know from König why she wants to help her, to which the inspector casually replies whether she mentioned that she had been adopted. She feels that children should stay with their real parents. However, if it came out that she had something to do with blackmail, she could remove custody of her daughter Franka once and for all.

When Schiecke returned to her accommodation, she found a piece of paper on her bedstead with the words: "You can get your daughter back for 50,000." She looks for Gehring, who reacts indignantly and insists that she should do something with him. At the same time, the Marwitz couple, with whom Franka lives, report the child as missing. Johanna Marwitz accuses Nathalie of having something to do with Franka's disappearance. Bukow is following a completely different lead. He gains entry into the Schüttes' house and tells them to the head that they had murdered Herbert Brand and that this would also be proven. Her house, which is for sale, is worthless because sponge and mold have spread there and her dream of being able to spend her retirement in Phuket has burst. They wanted to get money through Brand, since this dream had melted away, they kidnapped Franka and demanded 50,000 euros, which brought their project back within reach. The Schüttes, who are interrogated a little later separately, confess that they had asked Brand to hand over the notebook, but that he acted stupid and the beatings occurred. But they didn't want to kill him.

As Commissioner Pöschel has now determined, René Wirth lucratively moves toxic waste, which he illegally mixes with other garbage and disposed of on the Rostock landfill. For that he collects a lot. He wrote down these deals in the little black notebook. In the meantime, Wirth is on the road with a suitcase of money, his accomplice Stefan Burger is ready with a gun in the background. At the same time, König discovers little Franka in a caravan parked in the garden. When she hears gunshots coming from an adjoining hall, she rushes there and finds Gehring injured by a gunshot after she had handcuffed the fleeing host to a window grille. It means Gehring that it is a bullet in the heart. Believing himself close to death, he confesses that he wanted to blackmail Wirth and locked Nathalie down one flight of stairs. As it turns out, Gehring is just a shot near the shoulder. “It's none of my business,” says Bukow to König, “but is it correct to just let a blackmailer run like that and tell someone that he has a bullet in the heart?” You could be wrong, König replies meaningful.

Production and Background

The film was shot in mid-2009 in Rostock and the surrounding area.

As is known from the three episodes previously broadcast, König is tasked by the LKA with internally investigating Bukow and keeping an eye on him. Bukow wants to know from König how many weeks he still has, since he had told her everything about himself and his “mafia friend”. The investigation should be over by now. However, König is silent and only replies with meaningful looks. When Bukow was bothering her again, she only said that she would be liable to prosecution if she said something. The latter then says: “What a shame, I enjoyed working with you, Katrin König.” “Me too,” is all König replies.

In addition, the viewer learns in this episode that Katrin König has been adopted.

criticism

Rainer Tittelbach from tittelbach.tv referred to the fact that the fourth police call from Rostock “touched the dregs of society - where one can only dream of Hartz IV, among garbage collectors and homeless people who live in empty prefabricated buildings. “Nevertheless, Castelberg's film is“ not a funeral killer crime story ”. The film is "not only realistically exciting, but sometimes also beautifully weird and absurd, socially critical today - and above all the characters [are] always good for a surprise."

Christian Buß from Spiegel Online admitted the crime episode "a fine slang and famous humor" and found that Bulle Bukow looked worse than any homeless person . He praised Jan Georg Schütte as a wonderful actor , who played the scrap dealer Gehring as a poor sausage with a rich vocabulary, a tragicomic boor with a tireless mouth . Buß in his criticism: “The makers of the current 'Polizeirufes 110' know how to keep the balance between milieu study and social drama. They dive in, but they don't demonstrate. They leave room for tragicomics, but they don't give up laughter to anyone. "

TV Spielfilm came to the conclusion: “Lively social crime thriller with strong characters” and gave two out of three points for demand and tension and one for action. The thumb was pointing up.
