action

Six-year-old Emma finds a bag of cocaine pills, which she apparently takes for candy, in the sand of a children's playground in Dortmund's northern part of the city , and shortly afterwards lies lifeless in the sand. The quickly arriving paramedic Oliver Lahnstein and his colleague Pöhler can no longer save the child's life and are not up to the situation, as they only work in ambulance transport . Oliver Lahnstein makes serious reproaches because he knew Emma. Her father Roland Siebert is a friend of his father Dieter Lahnstein. Shortly before the little girl died, Emma's mother Claudia had chased a young, dark-skinned woman out of the sandpit who was looking for the pills there.

The commissioners Faber, Bönisch, Dalay and Kossik take on the investigation of the case. The medical examiner Greta Leitner notes that Emma's death to a circulatory collapse with heart failure decreases. Bönisch then asks Emma's mother about drug use, as the park by the playground is known for selling drugs. Faber searches for and finds more drugs in the sandpit that suggest they were hidden there. The two chief inspectors visit the drug lord Tarim Abakay , whom they have known since their second case . Abakay denies that the drugs came from him and points out that there had been a raid in the park the day before and that many dealers would rather throw their goods away than get caught with them. On a video of the raid, 18-year-old Senegalese Niara Gomis and her older brother Jamal can be identified as they escape through the playground. Emma's mother also recognizes Niara and Jamal. Emma's family and their friends blame the failure of the police and city for the death of their daughter in view of the high proportion of migrants in Dortmund's northern part of the city. Dieter Lahnstein is of the opinion that a social tsunami is rolling towards the population that no one can stop.

Without consulting his team, Faber turns to Abakay to quickly find the two Africans. The next day Niara Gomis is found slain by Roland Siebert in an abandoned factory building. Allegedly, he was informed by phone of the whereabouts of the two drug dealers. Together with him, his friend Dieter is also the focus of the investigation, as he and his son Oliver also appeared at the crime scene. A manslaughter is also found with him. The victim has burns Niara of Tasers and became a murderer murdered. Faber and Bönisch conclude that there is only a single perpetrator and that Roland Siebert and his friends probably did not commit the murder. Faber seeks out Abakay in anger because he believes that he is responsible for the murder of the young woman. In the fight for the best drug hubs in town, the drug lord may have wanted to take a stand against the other drug gangs, as the two Senegalese were not among his dealers. Faber again urgently warns Abakay not to harm Jamal too.

After leaving Senegal, Niara and her brother Jamal had a four-year odyssey behind them before they both arrived in Dortmund. During the autopsy , the coroner found that Niara had numerous injuries and that she had also been raped several times in her life . The perpetrator who took Niara’s life continued to beat the already dead woman. Faber is therefore of the opinion that he acted emotionally, which would not suit Abakay as a client. Kossik, on the other hand, raises serious allegations against Faber and declares that it is his fault for having passed on information to Abakay. He even threatens his supervisor with an administrative complaint . A little later, Abakay Faber personally hands over the young Senegalese. Faber takes Jamal to Bönisch, who lives in a hotel for personal reasons. There Jamal says that his sister tried to get the drugs back from the sandpit, but was scared away by a woman. When another dark-skinned drug dealer is slain not far from the playground, Faber feels confirmed in his suspicion that the murder of Niara was something personal, in contrast to this new murder. The commissioners agree that someone wants to "clean up". Faber then explains to Jamal that he needs his help as bait , because the perpetrator will not stop until Jamal is dead. Faber then lets the news spread that Jamal is at large again. Faber, Bönisch and Dalay shadow the Senegalese.

By chance, Kossik discovered that Oliver Lahnstein must have something to do with the murders. By the time he passed the news on to his colleagues, it was almost too late as investigators lost sight of Jamal when an ambulance blocked their view. Jamal runs away, but is followed and beaten down by Oliver Lahnstein, just as Dalay, Faber and Bönisch arrive. The paramedic sees himself as a failure and feels pressured by numerous accusations from those around him. However, he blames the Senegalese drug dealers for his own failure. Although Faber and Dalay point their guns at him, Lahnstein strikes again with the manslaughter, so that Dalay can only prevent another murder with a final rescue shot . This is how she saves Jamal's life, as her supervisor Faber later told a colleague from the supervisory authority . The latter also informs Faber that there is an administrative complaint against him and that he must hand over his weapon and ID card .

A little later, Jamal, who has followed Faber's advice and wants to attend an integration course, is out on the street when he is stabbed by two of Abakay's men.

criticism

“The red threads in this conflict are fear of loss and father-son relationships. That forces director Dror Zahavi to let many narrative threads run side by side and into one another. He divides them with sharp cuts so that the characters can attack each other anew. Their feuds are word wars, their verbal exchange of blows is so densely peppered with throws, returnees, insults and swear words returned that the dialogues, even if they are brilliantly played, seem recited. The diction of permanent irritability, in which Zahavi lets his actors speak, contributes to this. Jörg Hartmann is the only one who is able to equip his character with different speech temperatures, which gives her the greatest drop. "

“So we give ourselves to Faber (Jörg Hartmann) and colleague Bönisch (Anna Schudt) in the medium-good Dortmund episode 'Kollaps' (director: Dror Zahavi, script: Jürgen Werner) to have a little fun. This time exciting: While he seems to be gaining more and more control over himself, her life is now getting more and more upside down. [...] As with Dortmund's 'Tatorten' before, one is torn back and forth. On the one hand, one is full of admiration how the story is told horizontally based on the American model, i.e. characters and story elements known from other episodes are developed further. On the other hand, the main plot seems dangerously under-complex in comparison: The angry Nordstadt neighbors look just as wood-comrade as the siblings from Senegal who are hunted down. Obviously, the filmmaker's interest wasn't quite enough. "

“'You only show understanding as long as it's not really your business,' says a man in this current crime scene, where people don't joke around like in Münster or grapple routinely like in Munich or at the sausage stand everything is drowned in light beer like in Cologne. It goes downhill to the bitter end. If that seems too gloomy, take a look at Facebook or look at the real so-called citizens with their hate masks and self-made gallows. Nothing is okay anymore, not only in Dortmund. "

Rainer Tittelbach from tittelbach.tv stated that the "refugee issue and its social explosives" would drag through the seventh crime scene from Dortmund. It went on to say: “Author Jürgen Werner refrains from moral indignation arias and politically one-sided statements. Jörg Hartmanns Faber, of all people, is allowed to be human and develops the 'right' attitude towards the case. Relationships collapse and the quartet is still psychophysically strong! ”Tittelbach also referred to the horizontal narrative of the Dortmund crime scenes and said:“ Anyone who wants to get to the bottom of the plot can do so and the better the six previous ones He knows episodes from the 'Tatort' Dortmund with its exemplary way of moderately establishing horizontal storytelling - the more he is likely to find and the more enjoyment he will have in 'Tatort' No. 7, which Zahavi concentrates, factual, but the more he will have also not inelegantly and appropriately staged in the 'Tatort' Dortmund-like dirty (weather) look. "

Thomas Röbke from the program magazine Hörzu commented on Faber: “With his strange humor, Chief Inspector Faber becomes more and more comical and a kind of modern Schimanski : tough, aggressive, unpredictable. A prime role for Jörg Hartmann, the Stasi disgust from ' Weissensee '. ”Röbke's conclusion was:“ A thriller cannot begin more emotionally than with the death of a child. The viewer is immediately caught and does not leave the side of the investigators, although the story remains gloomy. A 'crime scene' is not a pony farm. It's amazing how much fits in 90 minutes if you tell it skillfully. "
