action

Chief Detective Voss comes to his new job in Nuremberg and gets to know his colleagues at the crime scene. There Christian Ranstedt, a professor at Erlangen University , was found dead in his car in the forest. The married father of two children was shot dead at close range. Obviously he was having sex in the car; Both doors are open, the driver's seat with the dead Ranstedt is pushed back a long way.

The Nuremberg investigators Felix Voss, Paula Ringelhahn, Wanda Goldwasser, Sebastian Fleischer and Michael Schatz take over the case.

The cell phone investigation of the cell phones logged in during the time frame of the crime in the area of the crime scene finally yields a suspect: Thomas Buchwaldt, known as Tommy. It is particularly conspicuous because it cannot be found. By chance, neighbor Charlotte Pahl runs into Tommy without knowing that the police are already looking for him. She spontaneously invites him to accompany her home, and it is learned that Tommy was the babysitter for the two children of Pahls until four years ago.

Voss finally finds out through Charlotte Pahl that she had a two-week affair with Buchwaldt, which she recently ended. So it turns out that Tommy shot Ranstedt out of jealousy in affect. The dramatic: At this moment, Tommy seems to be in the cinema with Pahl's two children. It is to be feared that he will harm them too. A large-scale search begins, with the children being found unharmed alone in a cinema. Meanwhile, Tommy waited in the Pahls' basement and finally met Charlotte. While he is about to speak to her, Voss arrives and arrests him.

Reviews

“Färberböck previously filmed the extraordinary Munich 'Tatort' episode ' At the end of the corridor ', which was about male projection mechanisms, but also rare forms of true male devotion. In the Franconian 'crime scene', without you really noticing it at the beginning, he moves a female figure into the emotional center. A neighbor of the murder victim who plays Ulrike C. Tscharre [...] both vulnerable and hurtful. The way Färberböck stages them, sometimes from a distance, sometimes from a close-up perspective, without revealing their last secret, is reminiscent of the women filmmakers from the French Nouvelle Vague, François Truffaut , Jacques Demy and Peter Brook . "

- Christian Buß : Spiegel Online

“Färberböck dares the revolution in the modern crime scene: He brings investigators who have no business. They are more warm than frozen inside, more awkward than cool. And touchable by what is happening. […] This case […] has a few lengths, but the story is picking up speed, it finds a sound, and in fact all of the actors are chosen with love. "

- Holger Gertz : Süddeutsche Zeitung
