The colored Gerda Stadler is the owner of a car workshop in which her daughter Marianne and the mechanics Bastian and Joachim, called Jogi, also work. Bastian loves Marianne and her mother would be for the connection. However, Marianne is with Jogi; both plan to secretly emigrate to New Zealand . Gerda learns about Marianne's plans from Bastian and shortly afterwards finds the workshop safe empty. She looks for Jogi in his house, where she catches him in bed with her daughter. Marianne suspects that Jogi had a relationship with Gerda and leaves him indignant. Shortly afterwards, Jogi's body is found in his burned-out car on the Isar Canal.

Chief Detective Tauber is informed of the murder; In the evening he had a visit from the emotionally exhausted police psychologist Dr. Silvia Jansen, who needed the emotionless deaf to get rid of her problems once. Now Tauber begins the investigation, with his assistant Alyin Sücel as well as the “new one”, Fritz, appearing at the crime scene and making numerous mistakes. Jogi was set on fire when he was already dead, where he was killed with a heavy object. Via detours, Tauber learns that Jogi was used as a V-man in the car slider scene and was investigating Roberto slider. His superior Erich therefore suspects that the Automafia killed him. Tauber learns from Gerda that the workshop was working with Roberto legally. Meanwhile, in Jogi's house, Tauber and Sücel find a ticket to New Zealand, a key to the safe and a large amount of cash.

Marianne, who has disappeared since the crime, is hospitalized shortly afterwards as a result of an accident. Silvia Jansen learns that Marianne is desperate because of her unclear past and has attempted suicide, just as Gerda was admitted to psychiatry three years ago for attempting suicide. Marianne never found out who her father is and who her mother's father was. Gerda just says that both are dead. After a newspaper article about the murder of Jogi appeared, Gerda turned himself in to the police and admits to having murdered Jogi. He had had an affair with her and by 50,000 German marks blackmailed, otherwise Marianne had known anything about it. However, when he started a relationship with Marianne, she saw red. Gerda is taken into custody, even if Silvia Jansen is convinced of her innocence. Bastian is the only remaining employee to take responsibility for the workshop. He receives a call from Roberto and drives to him in a car with prepared license plates. A little later Roberto is found dead, with a gold chain with the names Jogi and Marianne lying with him. Nevertheless, Tauber suspects that this is just a wrong track. Gerda, in turn, sticks to her version of being the perpetrator, even if Marianne, who she wanted to cover, is innocent. You have taken on too much guilt.

In order to solve the mother-daughter conflict, Silvia Jansen asked Tauber to research her past in Gerda's home village. For the use of two steaks, which Tauber likes to eat but can never cut with one arm, Tauber begins researching. He finds out that Gerda was conceived out of wedlock, the father returned from captivity and allegedly took his own life after seeing the black girl. In addition, the villagers report about the black Charlie Brown who came to the village and wanted to take Gerda with him to the USA, but then fell to his death from a hill. After some questioning, Tauber finally manages to get two old villagers to confess to Charlie Brown's murder. You are arrested; the third perpetrator, Hias, had been slain many years ago. Meanwhile, Gerda reports to Marianne about her father that she was raped by Hias in the village during her training and that she killed him; von Tauber, the two women learned of Gerda's father's fate shortly afterwards.

As a suspect in the Jogi murder, more and more Bastian seems to come into question. On Tauber's instructions, Alyin Sücel and Fritz begin to visibly shadow Bastian until he collapses.

Only Tauber succeeds in a daring action to stop the bus, whereby Bastian loses his weapon and can be arrested by Silvia Jansen. When the action is over, Silvia Jansen invites Tauber to a steak and the inspector bows to her.

production

Forgive me was shot from November 8th to December 9th, 1999 in Munich and the surrounding area. The costumes of the film created Annette Reinecke-Popp , the Filmbauten submitted by Jochen Schumacher . The film had its television premiere on October 22nd, 2000 in the first . The audience participation was 22.9 percent (7.67 million viewers), making the film the most watched program of the day after the Formula 1 broadcast and the Tagesschau .

It was the 221st episode of the Polizeiruf 110 film series . Silvia Jansen investigated her 6th and last case. It was the third case that she solved in collaboration with Jürgen Tauber. Initially, the role of police psychologist Jansen was only intended for four films, but was extended by two more cases due to the great audience success. The BR saw a continuation of the concept, however, as too difficult, since “psychological cases are always needed for this”.

criticism

"There is nothing to forgive here: well done," wrote the TV Spielfilm and stated that the focus of the film on Tauber and not on Jansen is good for the thriller. The Ostthüringer Zeitung regretted the end of the Jansen-Tauber team, especially since the "excellently cast ..., psychological ... thriller" had succeeded. "The entertaining crime thriller offered a varied plot, solid suspense, enough surprises as well as handsome actors, but its special quality thanks above all to the interesting team of investigators made up of a detective and a police psychologist," stated the Passauer Neue Presse , and summarized: "Original and entertaining. ”For the Berliner Morgenpost , Jansen's last case was“ a strong departure, ”according to which the film was“ a psychologically coherent crime thriller with well-drawn, complex characters, convincing actors, pointed dialogues and a confusing plot that kept suspense right up to the end ".

Edgar Selge's figure of Jürgen Tauber in particular was praised: “No figure among German television investigators is currently as exciting as this one-armed police man. This crippled single shimmers between cynicism, self-pity and shyness. He can reprove colleagues and delinquents with cutting edge, but, as in the current episode, he can also be the opposite: a sensitive little girl with whom even the plumber of the police (Gaby Dohm) lets herself go. "Selge said the crime thriller" got by. ge] carried ”and did it“ again with that devoted mixture of defiance, sovereignty and sarcasm that actually lifts the figure of the one-armed investigator out of the ranks of all the other inspectors, ”wrote the Südkurier . Tauber was "a real original among the current television commissioners, which is why the eponymous request for forgiveness is gladly fulfilled," said the Leipziger Volkszeitung .

“The deficits of the script are counteracted a little by very funny and humorous dialogues in places,” wrote the Stuttgarter Zeitung . For the Frankfurter Rundschau , only Selges Tauber was a bright spot in the film. Forgive me, on the other hand, was described as “a staid, German television thriller, as tension-free as a worn out rubber band, boring to the harmonizing end”.
