Forget-me-not is a television film from the crime series Tatort produced by Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR) and broadcast for the first time on March 28, 2010 in the program Das Erste . It is the 760th episode of the crime scene and the third case of Chief Inspector Cenk Batu ( Mehmet Kurtuluş ).
Disguised as a press officer, Batu is investigating a rather nifty and tricky case of industrial espionage in which the main suspect dies. It has to be clarified whether it was murder or suicide . Batu falls seriously in love, but falls for a spy in the process.
action
Commissioner Batu is leading this undercover mission, the forget-me-not case , to Aircraft Performance and Technologies (APAT). The Hamburg company develops electronically controlled engines for aviation. Batu has been working there for 8 weeks, disguised as Sinan Afra, trying to find the leak that regularly causes secret construction plans to disappear abroad. As he was about to install a Trojan horse in his computer system that would give him access to the infected computer, the system suddenly reported a virus and Batu aborted the installation to avoid being detected. When he spoke to his contact Uwe Kohnau about it, he said that a Trojan horse program had to be in place.
The APAT boss, Holger Lichtenhagen, likes Batus' determination and appoints him as his personal advisor. But before he can meet him for dinner, he is found shot in the head on a bench in the harbor. With this, Batu's promotion is obsolete and the new acting head makes it clear to him that he doesn't like him and that he would even pay him severance pay if he left voluntarily. Lichtenhagen's laptop is confiscated by the LKA and it is discovered there that his computer has been scouted for a long time by the foreign trojan and that the "spy" has had company secrets for some time. It seems strange to Batu that shortly before Lichtenhagen wants to meet him, he is said to have killed himself. In addition, there is no suicide note. In Lichtenhagen's personal belongings, which Batu is supposed to bring to his family, he finds notes that he has made about his employees. Perhaps he suspected that he had a spy in the company. Alma Lichtenhagen doubts that her father committed suicide. She says he was too uncomfortable for the people on the board and asked the wrong questions.
Nathalie Bertram, an employee at APAT , is caught smuggling secret documents in her pocket out of the company. She denies it and says that someone has put it on her. However, the LKA knows that she has regularly received money from the well-known lawyer Niemeier. With that, Batu's job would be done and he should withdraw from the company. However, he found a kind of suicide note from Lichtenberg in which he writes that his opponents have now killed him and sold his company results abroad. He would have kept the evidence of this in a Pandora file on the company's central computer. Alma Lichtenhagen now gives the police a handwritten confession from her father, in which he admits to having betrayed company secrets. She would have just found it, so it looks like suicide after all. Batu still wants to do more research, but Uwe Kohnau refuses because the homicide squad is responsible for it. So he is irrevocably withdrawn from the company. In the evening Batu meets with Mia Andergast, whom he had met at Lichtenhagen's funeral and who had told him that Lichtenberg was her father. Since they both get along well, they spend the night together. However, Uwe Kohnau suspects that Batu's new girlfriend is not entirely honest.
Batu hides at APAT until no one is there in the evening. He gains access to the central computer to get the Pandora file, but is observed. When he comes back to Mia in the hotel, someone has taken her hostage and demands the file that he has just copied from him. But Batu can overwhelm him and flee with Mia. He speaks to Uwe and Uwe says that after the suicide note it looks as if Lichtenhagen himself has actually resold the research documents. The autopsy also showed that he had had Alzheimer's for at least a year, which is why he made all the notes. His doctor's records also included a DNA test for a paternity examination, which was negative. This made it clear that Mia works for the Swedish secret service and only needs the Pandora file, which contains the latest secret development results. In order to get hold of it, Batu was given the bogus letter from Lichtenhagen, which he had fallen for.
The Pandora folder that Batu secretly copied was empty, but there is a trace that the file he was looking for is on Lichtenhagen's yacht, which is currently in the shipyard. Mia calls him and he drives her to the shipyard, even though he knows that she is a spy. The LKA and BND people are already waiting there. Batu and Mia look around the yacht and find a folder. Leo, Mia's partner, appears and shoots Batu. However, the BND had exchanged the folder and thus passed 10-year-old documents to the Swedes. Batu reproaches Uwe for knowing exactly that the BND is involved. He takes his travel bag and flies to Turkey to his father.

Reviews
“It is no coincidence that the film is surrounded by an aura of lightness and lightheartedness, before the plot falls into the mysterious, sometimes threatening. Sometimes the story advances in quick steps, sometimes it babbles to itself. Nevertheless, it remains exciting until the end. "
“The NDR continues to go unfamiliar with its new Hamburg“ crime scene ”. An undercover detective works differently than an on-site investigator or interrogator. You have to want to get involved with this style, not hastily dismiss it as formalistic, cold or over-aesthetic. "Forget-me-not" does not warm you from the inside. "
"Great story in ice cube optics"
"Industrial espionage, high treason and illegal data transfer: The Hamburg" Tatort "is a complex knitted thriller garnished with feeling: In his role as an undercover agent, Mehmet Kurtulus is heartbroken by his real friend Désirée Nosbusch."
