action
In Bremen , drug deaths who died from the same drug are increasing. Chief Detective Inga Lürsen and her colleague Chief Detective Nils Stedefreund are called to a stabbing with two dead - Frank and Yvonne Berthold. Lürsen finds her nine-year-old, completely distraught daughter Nadine hidden in the bed box in her parents' bedroom. When the alarmed paramedics want to take Nadine to the hospital, she reacts defensively. The Commissioner manages to reassure her that she is safe in the hospital. However, when the newspapers reported the next morning that the daughter had witnessed the crime, Lürsen is angry and says that this is more or less an invitation for the murderer. Lürsen and Stedefreund want to visit Nadine in the clinic and talk to the psychologist who looks after Nadine beforehand. He says it is no use talking to the girl because she is currently suppressing the terrible memories. When they come into Nadine's room, the child has disappeared through the open window. Lürsen correctly suspects that Nadine fled to her home. Stedefreund wants to notify the youth welfare office; However, Lürsen can convince him that Nadine is not safe in one of these homes as long as the perpetrator is free. She wants to pretend to be Nadine's aunt, who is initially looking after the girl in her parents' apartment. Stedefreund has great reservations, but accepts Lürsen's suggestion. The inspector even wants the perpetrator to find out that she is their aunt in the apartment with the little one. A little later, the neighbor Rebecka Gressmann rings the doorbell. She heard music and wanted to ask about Nadine. Lürsen introduces himself to her as Frank Berthold's half-sister. Rebecka asked several times what Nadine had said, to which Lürsen replied that she said nothing at all, that she was as dumb as a fish. Nadine also backs away from Rebecka Gressmann. Back in her apartment, the young woman has an argument with her husband Max. She accuses him of being happy that he is rid of Frank and smugly asks whether he sent the others or did it himself. He knocks her off what the little son Onno has to watch. Then he leaves the apartment and meets with his colleague Günther Kremer. The Kremers are also tenants of the house in which the Bertholds lived and the men are also colleagues. They work together in the port and are involved in the transport of dangerous goods; Frank Berthold also worked there. The men talk that there could be a lot of problems if Gressmann's wife Rebecka, who is overwhelmed by the situation and tries to numb herself with alcohol and pills, would say the wrong thing to the police.
The coroner finds traces of "Bad Ice" under Frank Berthold's fingernails, the drug that has caused three drug deaths recently. In cooperation with the drug investigator Lennert, it has meanwhile come to the conclusion that the drugs are hidden in the containers with poison gas and thus smuggled in. The result is that the containers of a certain chipping agency always ended up in the shift of Berthold and his colleagues.
When Gisela Kremer rings the doorbell of Berthold's apartment the next day, Nadine backs away from her. She invites the supposed aunt Nadines and the girl to her husband's birthday party. Shortly afterwards the inspector observed from the window how she was talking excitedly with Max Gressmann on the playground. When Lürsen spoke to Gressmann shortly afterwards, she let it be known that “her brother” had told her about his anger he had recently had. Commissioner Walter Jensen, who works as a dispatcher in the port office, introduces himself at the ceremony. He says Frank talked a lot when the day was long. His death had more to do with “women’s stories”, he was a womanizer. Lürsen wants Jensen to be checked, also because Nadine reacted quite clearly to him.
In the port area, Stedefreund and Lennert monitor a delivery of dangerous goods from a distance and watch as the men remove an elongated package from the cargo. To their disappointment, however, they pass this discovery on to their superiors. It must have been clear to them that they were being watched and so they would rather sacrifice a delivery. The port area and the company cars are examined, and residues of bromoethane are found in Jensen's vehicle , which is used to degas cargo, which makes it unequivocally clear that he transported the drugs in his car. He admits everything and says that when Frank Berthold found out that it was about drugs, he was very upset about his daughter and no longer wanted to participate.
Rebecka Gressmann asks Lürsen for help. She says she is afraid that her husband might harm her and her son too. They believe he killed Frank Berthold and his wife. You had a relationship with Frank Berthold. She and her husband would have drifted apart long ago. That night she wanted to go out with Frank, so he also wanted to persuade his wife to go away with Nadine for the weekend. Lürsen identifies himself and orders an immediate search of Gressmann's apartment. There you can find Gressmann's sneakers with blood on them and other items of clothing in a plastic bag. Gressmann admits that he was in the apartment, but Frank and his wife would have been dead by then. He must have stepped into a pool of blood with his sneakers. Unnoticed, Nadine grabs a kitchen knife and puts it behind Rebecka Gressmann. When she turns around, she breathes heavily: "It was you, you killed my mom and dad." Rebecka can snatch the knife from her and is now threatening the child with it. Inga Lürsen succeeds in getting the young woman to do the job. She hesitantly says that Frank just laughed at her and said that if he would start a new life, it would definitely not be with a drinker. She was ready to give up everything for him and he just laughed at her. She threatened to cut open her wrists, he wanted to take the knife from her, then she stabbed, over and over, and then she heard a noise behind her and blindly stabbed one more time and only then did she see that it was Yvonne be. Surely she couldn't allow herself to survive and then tell everything about what would have become of her little boy. But she could never do anything to Nadine. She hoped that she hadn't seen her, she hadn't seen Nadine that night either.

criticism
Carsten Heidböhmer from Stern.de summarized: “Unusual from Bremen: The new case of the 'Tatort' inspectors Lürsen and Stedefreund comes out without any socially romantic tones and is an exciting psychological chamber play about a disturbed girl who committed the brutal murder of his Parents observed. ”Heidböhmer believes that the“ severely traumatized daughter is embodied in a disturbingly intense way by the young Sina Monpetain, a Bremen student ”and that the“ scenes inside the high-rise apartment, which are characterized by a claustrophobic atmosphere, are at the strongest moments in belong to the Bremen 'Tatort'. "
TV Spielfilm drew the conclusion: "Strong moments, poor resolution."
In the Hessische / Niedersächsische Allgemeine (HNA.de) Sonja Boy came to the verdict: “The approach was exciting, the implementation hanebreak: In Bremen's 'Tatort: Stille Wasser', director Thorsten Näter linked the demolition of a drug ring with the search for a double murderer . "
Rainer Tittelbach judged: “A child saw her parents' murderer and is in mortal danger. 'Still Waters' is an exciting 'crime scene'. The mix of investigative thriller, thriller and social drama begins in a suggestive and fast-paced manner, but then takes time to shed light on the broken family relationships in the high-rise estate and the looming relationship between the girl and surrogate mother Inga Lürsen - with leggings, fluff and gun. […] And the guest actors are in a class of their own: Manzel, Matthes, Mühe, Rieke and Gallinowski. The fact that - in retrospect - a few illogical moments creep into the action does not detract from the good overall impression. Thanks to an excellent actor's performance, not even the epilogue explaining the murder disturbs. Conclusion: a good crime thriller that can be consumed quickly. "
