Click made is a television film from the crime series Polizeiruf 110 . The report, produced on behalf of Bayerischer Rundfunk and directed by Stephan Wagner , was first broadcast on November 29, 2009 in ARD's first program. It is the only episode with Chief Detective Friedl Papen ( Jörg Hube ) as a Munich investigator.
action
Chief Detective Friedl Papen is to take over the management of the commissioner's office in Munich. The new colleagues are not very enthusiastic about getting a “stranger” to replace their predecessor Tauber . High Commissioner May had high hopes for the post and is accordingly disappointed and hostile to his new boss. Even before he officially takes office, Papen succeeds in convicting an old man of murder, which impresses his colleagues.
The very next day, Friedrich Papen was called to a new case. On the way home from a barracks party, Lieutenant Rolf Darkow was kidnapped. Right at the beginning of the investigation, the inspector meets Captain Ulrike Steiger, who is supposed to support him in his work.
In the meantime, the masked kidnapper speaks to his victim in a disguised voice, but Darkow believes he recognizes Sergeant Tom Brauer. He demands an account of why the first lieutenant six months ago sent a company in Afghanistan on a route that was far too dangerous and three soldiers were killed as a result. The kidnapper blames Darkow for the death of the men and wants to punish him for it. He has him step on an explosive device in the middle of the forest, which would detonate as soon as he moved.
First of all, Papen has Darkow's documents show him and quickly finds the report on the incident in Afghanistan. He immediately concludes that there is a connection and wants the relatives of the victims to be checked. During the investigation, a video that the kidnapper published appears on the Internet. It shows Darkow standing on the mine and with a message he demands the truth, otherwise the lieutenant colonel would die. A race against time begins.
Ulrike Steiger tries to get internal information about the investigation into the attack in Afghanistan through her father. As a colonel, he could know details that would be important to clear up the kidnapping, but he refuses to cooperate. Military secrecy seems more important to him than the life of the lieutenant. Ulrike Steiger is very disappointed and begins to doubt the honesty of her job. Correspondingly ambitious, she throws herself into the investigation with the commissioner. He has now come across Tom Brauer, who survived the attack in Afghanistan himself and was close friends with one of the dead comrades. When Brauer unexpectedly turns up at the Wegner family, who are just being questioned by Papen and Steiger, Steiger arrests the man. He is severely traumatized due to his experiences and is under the influence of medication.
Through a tip from Darkow's little daughter, the investigators become aware of Sergeant Peter Jünnemann. He was a driver when the attack occurred and has been in a wheelchair ever since. Steiger and Papen go to see him. Jünnemann is also convinced that Darkow is to blame for the death of his comrades and shows no trace of pity when he learns about the kidnapping of the lieutenant colonel. Without warning, he blows himself up with a mine in front of the investigators. Thus the feverish search for Jünnemann's accomplices begins. The trail leads to the Wegner family, who lost their son Robert in the attack. Helmut Wegener is arrested and explains during interrogation that he will only reveal Darkow's whereabouts when the truth about the background to the attack in Afghanistan finally comes to light.
Darkow has stood almost motionless on the mine for hours. The strength is slowly waning from his legs and a camera is still pointed at him. In his fear of death he says that he only carried out orders, as a good soldier does.
After Tom Brauer, who is still in police custody, admits to having shot his friend Robert by hand because he gave it to him with a tattered body, Robert's father collapses and leads the police to the forest. Darkow can be brought to safety unharmed, but some questions remain unanswered. It turns out that Colonel Steiger knew exactly that Darkow, out of exaggerated ambition, had shown the route he had set as safe. He wanted to prove the progress of the use of the military. Nobody wanted to admit this mistake and so even Colonel Steiger covered up and covered up this wrong decision. His daughter is now completely disappointed with the Bundeswehr and leaves the troops. She asks Papen to take her to the criminal police in Munich.

criticism
Rainer Tittelbach from tittelbach.tv writes about this fast-paced and “outstanding film”: “Almost in passing, this 'police call' addresses the downside of the 'peace commitment of our republic'. The grief, the anger and the survival strategies of the relatives are listened to. […] In addition to the Afghanistan story, the slow rapprochement between the commissioner and the police officer, which was carried out through joint investigations, is elegantly woven into the exciting events. The film is pleasantly restrained with the clichés of the unequal couple and the subsequent peace pact between the two is rather casually concluded. "
“This 'police call', which was originally intended to usher in a new era in Munich after the Tauber-Obermaier era, is definitely worth seeing. Because of Jörg Hube, one of the really good guys. Half Buddha, half crowbar, he brings a strangely gentle nervousness to the screen that one would have liked to have exposed oneself to for the next few years. "
