occupation

One carries the other load is a German crime film by Christian von Castelberg from 2012. It is the 325th episode in the film series Polizeiruf 110 and the fifth case for Chief Inspector Alexander Bukow ( Charly Hübner ) and the LKA officer Katrin König ( Anneke Kim Sarnau ). The main guest roles are occupied by Christian Ehrich , Hans Löw , Maria Kwiatkowsky and Gerdy Zint .

action

Two men in police uniforms attack a prisoner transport, but instead of freeing the passenger, they knock him down, mistreat him and shoot him. In the search for the perpetrators, the detective chief inspectors Bukow and König get into an exchange of fire in which König is life-threateningly injured.

The victim is Kevin Schulz, who would have served his sentence in two months and would have been released. This begs the question, why did the perpetrators bother to free him at this point when all they wanted was to kill him? Bukow first asks the two drivers and learns from them that Schulz was financially well positioned and had good contacts with the outside world.

Detective Inspector Volker Thiesler researched that five years ago there was an attack on a money transporter in Rostock, which proceeded according to a similar pattern as the current one on the prisoner transporter. According to the files, the pimp Fred Hansen and the drug dealer Mirco Lewandowski were involved in the attack in Rostock, but nothing could be proven to them. Both had visited Schulz several times in the prison . Bukow does not consider this to be a coincidence and keeps an eye on both of them. In this way, he succeeds in finding a witness who has often taken on occasional assignments for Hansen and, in this context, should also dispose of two bags containing two police uniforms.

But Bukow also wants to ask around in the prison, since he expects further clues from this. So that it doesn't get noticed, he sends his colleague Anton Pöschel undercover to prison. This is locked to a former cellmate of Schulz and learns that the prison officer Peter Dörner had something to do with the liberation action. Dörner finds out that Pöschel is an informant and lets prisoners torture him. When Pöschel, in turn, argues with him on official channels, Dörner is arrested.

According to Bukow's research, it is clear that Hansen, Lewandowski, Schulz and his sister Jessica had robbed the money transporter in Rostock. Hansen and Lewandowski had tried to build a bourgeois existence with the money, and in the process also used up Schulz's share. When Schulz found out about this, he threatened to “blow up” the whole thing. To prevent that, Hansen and Lewandowski got him out of the way. But Schulz wrote a life confession and entrusted it to Jessica. When Hansen and Lewandowski find out, they put the young woman under pressure. But Bukow and Thiesler are already on their way to her and can free her. Hansen and Lewandowski are arrested, Bukow wants to find a good lawyer for Jessica, because she has found her way for several years and does good social work.

Katrin König was not involved in the investigation as she was in the hospital the entire time. She is now on the mend.

background

The reason for the passive role of Katrin König, who almost without exception has to stay in the hospital bed in this episode, lies in Anneke Kim Sarnau's pregnancy . For the actress Maria Kwiatkowsky in the role of Jessica Schulz, it was the last film appearance before her untimely death on July 4, 2011.

criticism

Rainer Tittelbach from tittelbach.tv said: “'One carries the burden of the other' ticks differently than other Sunday thrillers. This 'Polizeiruf 110' from Christian von Castelberg is a cross-border commuter case. Bukow is also infected by the latent willingness to use violence. Good script, coherent genre psychology, physical aesthetics, extraordinary actors. And Maria Kwiatkowsky in her last role. "

At Spiegel Online , Christian Buß thinks there are “a whole series of scenes that show a feeling for the fringes of society.” Actually, he likes the role of Bukow very much, and he says: “Hübner fills the role perfectly without resorting to Mackertum to have to. His Bukow, prone to abuse of office, is a completely coherent variation of the unleashed law enforcement officer; the eternal nervousness of his character is not macho, but charged with role biographies. "

Oliver Junge from the FAZ assessed: “The Rostock 'Polzeiruf 110' impresses with its everydayness. Author Eckhard Theophil likes bare reality, which can also be found in his own résumé. "
