action

The hotel employee Marion Faust was violently thrown from the balcony at home. Ballauf and Schenk find out that shortly before her death, she had left several worried messages on Susanne Baumann's answering machine. But the employee of the internationally renowned architecture office Könecke & Partner cannot be found at the moment.

Her husband Lars Baumann should have been back in Qatar as a construction manager, where Könecke & Partner is building for the 2022 World Cup. He is also said to be urgently looking for his wife. And obviously there had recently been a loud argument between him and Marion Faust at the hotel reception. But when the commissioners want to interrogate him at the bureau, he goes into hiding.

Both his investigations and that of the police reveal that his wife had led a double life. While he was out on business, she had met with potential customers, instigated by her boss Koenecke, in order to obtain preferential contracts for sexual services or official approvals. There is evidence that she was most recently at the hotel with board member Peter Waltherscheid, who is responsible for awarding a contract for a hotel in Qatar. When Ballauf and Schenk came across the surveillance recordings of the hotel, which the hotel employee Marion Faust had appropriated and hid, the motive for the crime was clear. Susanne Baumann had staged a small sex accident with Waltherscheid in such a way that he had to assume that he had killed her. Together with Hans Könecke, she portrayed her removal as a corpse so credibly that Waltherscheid was completely in Könecke's hands. Marion Faust discovered this scenario on the surveillance tapes and took it for herself in order to blackmail Koenecke. As a result, Köneckes employee and right hand man, Terstegen, Marion Faust fell from the balcony in the dispute over the surveillance recordings.

In the end, Susanne Baumann can be safely tracked down in Könecke's villa.

Reviews

Focus Online author Stefanie Will came to the conclusion: “Despite big issues such as SM games and the World Cup scandal, the Cologne-based company delivers a rather solid investigative case based on the 'Who was it?' from. Not new, not innovative, but also not too sexy or socially critical. Fortunately there is a surprising twist at the end! "

Christian Buß from Spiegel Online assessed: “A woman is pushed from the balcony, another disappears after SM games. What remains in this 'crime scene' are a number of men who are completely helpless - filmmakers included. […] Here, however, handcuffs and high heels are left at the scene of the crime by [the women] after they have fulfilled their dramaturgical function for the men's crime thriller. Little bit for the year 2018. "

At the Süddeutsche Zeitung , Katharina Riehl wrote : "The case is not a failed experiment, not a contrived grasp of the void - this film is a modular answer to the question of how one should no longer tell a television thriller in 2018."

Oliver Junge from the FAZ was of the opinion: “The Cologne 'Tatort' combines a marriage drama with amateur economic crime and says goodbye to Reisser's assistant. Hopefully the next one will bring the rusty inspectors back on their toes. "
