action
Lena Odenthal and Mario Kopper start the investigation when the zoo keeper Heiko Dahl is found murdered on a horse farm. Almost at the same time a badly mistreated horse is found, which is released from Lena with his service weapon due to the missing syringe of the called veterinarian and the alleged lack of responsibility of a police officer present. The coup de grace is visibly difficult for Lena Odenthal, and she also had to stop rehabilitation treatment because of her burnout. The stud owner Silvia Magin seems to be more upset about the death of the horse than about the death of the animal keeper. The investigations initially assume a connection between the two acts, as a series of desecrations of horses is known in the Ludwigshafen area. Heiko Dahl may have died as a chance witness. The suspicion quickly falls on Gerd Holler, a mentally unstable information technician who was seen doing previous crimes. However, this one has an alibi. The investigations into Silvia Magin and her fiancé, the lawyer Konstantin Yildiz, show that Yildiz had his fiancée monitored by a private detective, with the additional suspicion of a relationship act.

He manages to get in touch with her and even build a love relationship. On the night of love in Holler's apartment, Paula finds the stuffed animal and breaks off the relationship because of the obvious breach of trust. Now the situation is escalating.

But he manages to escape, injured. In his desperation he goes to Paula and takes her hostage. In the meantime it turns out that Silvia Magin was blackmailed by the animal keeper Dahl for earlier appearances in porn films. In order to hide her past life from her fiancé, she committed the murder, she finally confesses it. Lena and Kopper find out that Holler could keep his hostage hidden in an allotment garden. However, you are too late. Holler committed suicide in front of the tied up Paula . Lena initially turns away from the scene of the crime, horrified, but reconsiders and goes to her police work.

For the film music, German-language music was used. Thus, Die Toten Hosen with how this day next Helene Fischer with breathlessly through the night to hear.
The episode was filmed in Ludwigshafen am Rhein , Baden-Baden and Karlsruhe . The recordings of Lena Odenthal's rehab stay were produced in a holiday village near Kappelrodeck .
reception
“The Commissioner's self-centeredness leads to weak minutes. But the milieu in which she is looking for the perpetrator is aptly drawn. A red-blue illuminated village disco, in which Helene Fischer's “Atemlos” is on, is the average German nightmare. When the film threatens to drift off into slapstick with boozy vigilante groups from the Palatinate, it pulls its audience out of the comfort of their couches again. The faint of heart and horse lovers should perhaps watch something different on this Sunday evening. "
“Director Patrick Winczewski and Tatort writer Harald Göckeritz are enemies of all subtlety, they are too thick in all rough lines, and also in every detail. [...] The nervous potential of the eager new colleague Stern, who also pronounces bad words very cool, because the young people are so hardy today. "
