action

The student Anka Lebrecht is discovered dead on the ground in front of a skyscraper. Schmücke and Schneider are called to the scene and quickly come to the conclusion that there is a murder here. On the roof, from which it was probably knocked, there are not only the usual marks but also a very expensive pen .

Herbert Schneider and Nora Lindner inform Anka's mother and look around their daughter's room. There are conspicuous violent photos on the computer, whereupon the investigators take the computer with them for further investigation. Nora Lindner comes across extensive e-mail correspondence from a mysterious sender that has existed for about three months. From this the investigator concludes that the person who wanted to drive Anka to commit suicide.

Schmücke learned from Nele Führmann, a classmate of the victim, that Anka had campaigned massively against violence at the school and for disadvantaged classmates who were discriminated against by others. One of their biggest "opponents" was Oleg Kramer, a Russian-German who is considered the ringleader of a kind of Russian mafia at the school. But Nele herself also had a motive, because Anka had taken her boyfriend from her, from whom Anka had meanwhile separated again.

In the meantime, evidence is hardening against the pensioner Hubert Marka, who not only behaved suspiciously, but also had Anka's cell phone with him. Since he may have wanted to steal her belongings, it is possible that he even knocked her off the roof as a result. He is taken into custody, but there are now indications of Anka's teacher, Heiner Benneke, because he can be seen with her on several photos on her cell phone and: the valuable pen belonged to him. When asked, he admits that Anka had stalked him and that he had met her on the roof for a discussion of her request. Due to a secured alibi, he leaves the group of suspects again.

Lindner analyzes the e-mail traffic with Anka's mysterious "warrior" and comes to the conclusion that he is now planning a rampage at the school. Investigators suspect Lennart Lose after his mother reports a gun has gone missing. The search for him is vigorous, but it turns out that Tim Engert is actually the one he is looking for. A former student who was expelled from school and who has since lured Heiner Benneke to take revenge. He accuses him of stealing Anka from him. He had then argued with her about it and pushed her off the roof in an affect. When Tim notices that the police have meanwhile arrived at the school, he holed up. Schmücke speaks to his conscience massively and explains to him that he can go back now. While Schmücke approaches him unarmed, Tim tries to shoot himself, but in the end he can't do it and can be arrested.

criticism

Rainer Tittelbach from tittelbach.tv has this to say about this crime thriller: “In this 'police call', only the topics that flow into the story are sustainable. The crime thriller starts off well, but it gets increasingly tired from the bad habit of smuggling too many suspects through the plot. Annoying: the rampage as a kick. ”And he thinks:“ The whole film works in the same way: as a rule, it is cut back and forth between three or four locations. Thorsten Näter and editor Julia von Frihling give the film its rather stupid rhythm. When things get exciting, it's time to 'cut': this tension-relaxation principle is tiring in the long run. "

In Spiegel Online complains Christian penitential : "brooding still or sleep already? As if in slow motion, the two old men from Halle's 'police call' determine their way through East Germany. […] His only consolation: A young colleague lends a hand to the two old police officers. ”“ There are supposed to be people who find the decelerated investigation of the two TV officials in Halle's 'police call' reassuring, the quotas are consistently passable . But there are people who threaten to fall asleep while crawling and waning in front of the television. "

The critics of the television magazine TV Spielfilm , on the other hand, gave the best possible rating (thumbs up) and found: “Versatile, well played, exciting”.
