action

The twelve year old Marie Bartok is found dead in a forest. She was first strangled and then strangled with a leather strap. The forensic doctor also found sexual abuse. Faber suspects that the killer wanted his victim to be found because he buried it but not deep enough. Marie's stepfather, Gunnar Stetter, comes under suspicion because child pornography photos were found on his computer, which he deleted immediately after his stepdaughter's disappearance. Some could be restored. However, Stetter asserts that he has not done anything to the girl. He only uploaded photos of Marie on the Internet. He can also provide an alibi for the time in question.

Thirteen-year-old Lisa Passek disappears while Chief Detective Faber and his team are investigating Bönisch, Dalay and Kossik. Her father runs a building cleaning company that also cleans the school Marie Bartok went to. When checking the building cleaners who are regularly assigned there, the investigators come across Markus Graf. Faber immediately recognizes him as the son of a convicted child molester who hanged himself in his cell three years ago. Now it seems that the son is committing murders along the lines of his father, with whom he grew up because his mother died early. After his father was imprisoned, Markus Graf was placed in a youth home. Since he was of legal age, he visited his father regularly on July 15th of each year. This date has a deeply sad meaning to Faber because on a July 15th his life changed in a terrible way forever. On July 15th, his wife and daughter were killed in a car accident. Bönisch admonishes and warns Faber to prematurely commit to a perpetrator, as there are other suspects. However, the commissioner is convinced that Count Marie killed and now has Lisa in his power, who must be saved.

At first, Graf is not arrested, only under observation, but he notices this very quickly and reports to the presidium. In a conversation between Faber and Graf, which is saturated with cynicism, the inspector gets the impression that Graf is convinced that he, Faber, destroyed his life by arresting his father. Graf openly hints at Faber's personal family tragedy, suggesting that it is he who is to blame. Despite this fact, which is difficult for the inspector to bear, this time he remains calm and behaves professionally, as it is not only important to save the missing Lisa, but also Annika Garbes, another girl who recently disappeared. One trail leads to a sanctuary for animals, where Annika wanted to save a horse, which is why she had arranged to meet a stranger. There is evidence that Graf often helped out there, which suggests that he is this stranger. But the search does not bring the desired success. Graf meanwhile challenges Faber. He should die for the two girls. After all, he would have failed and could not have saved his own daughter either.

Despite all efforts, Lisa can only be found dead. In order to at least save Annika, Faber apparently accepts Graf's request. He signals readiness to jump from a skyscraper if Graf reveals the girl's hiding place. While Count Faber constantly provokes and leaves no doubt that he actually has both Faber's wife and his daughter on his conscience to take revenge on him, Dalay and Kossik's search for Annika is successful. You find the girl in an old butcher shop - alive. Graf is led away in handcuffs.

Production and Background

The crime scene Forever Your was filmed in Dortmund , Cologne and the surrounding area in the summer of 2013. It was produced by Colonia Media for WDR.

The commissioner's private life: Nora informs Daniel that she is pregnant. The decision of what should happen now is in the room. Nora has a tendency to have an abortion, but this bothers her more than she wants to admit. Daniel wants Nora to have the child. When Nora is on her way to her gynecologist at the end of the film, and Daniel's call is blocked twice, he puts the apartment key on the kitchen counter and leaves Nora's apartment with his head hanging.

Martina Bönisch gets into trouble when the callboy Toni Kelling, with whom she was a customer, is arrested for procuring cocaine, learns that Bönisch is a police officer and wants to blackmail her. Faber makes sure in his own way that he no longer gets stupid ideas.

criticism

Rainer Tittelbach from Tittelbach.tv referred to the episodes already shown and stated: “After 'Alter Ego' in September 2012, skepticism was still appropriate, 'Mein Revier' increased a little, 'Another world' clearly and with 'Forever Your 'is now the high point of the' Tatort 'offshoot Dortmund. ”In summary, it was said:“ The child murder case is the most exciting so far because it is short-circuited with Faber's vita and gives the inspector the opportunity to actively pursue his private trauma to edit. The interim result of the third 'Tatort' team of the WDR is extremely positive after 'Forever yours'. Great guys, top actors, good chemistry, close interactions, high sensuality, modern storytelling - good concept! "

The critics atquotemeter.de also came to a positive verdict and said: “'Forever yours' is a top performance by everyone involved: Dror Zahavi's consistently cool, gloomy atmosphere that doesn't give a damn about stuck conventions, Jürgen Werner's reduced, dynamic dialogues and the poignant play of the four main actors make this 'crime scene' a success like probably no other in years. "

Holger Gertz from Süddeutsche stated: “In this 'crime scene', the detective's personal involvement has meaning and function. In the meantime, the idiosyncratic Faber, portrayed very intensely by Jörg Hartmann, is even capable of self-irony. [...] 'Forever yours' is the name of the film in which the suspects are not only suspect: they are Faber's opponents, his enemies. "

The critics of the television magazine TV Spielfilm acknowledged: “Not only because of the episode-spanning 'horizontal' narrative style (known from US series) that accompanies the development of all four investigators, the thriller drama seems almost American: the duel between the detective and the perpetrator unwinds, is totally exaggerated and unrealistic, but at the same time as entertaining and gripping as you don't see it so often in the series. At the end of the first narrative arc, we accept a few psychological inconsistencies in a mild mood. [Conclusion:] Faber is turning the bike quickly again - and we like it. "
