Blood guilt is an episode of the German crime series Tatort from 2015. The film was produced by Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk under the direction of Stefan Kornatz and first broadcast on February 15, 2015 on Erste . It is the 936th crime scene episode and the 20th case with the Leipzig investigator duo Saalfeld and Keppler .

action

The scrap dealer Harald Kosen is found brutally slain in the bedroom of his house. The Commissioner Eva Saalfeld suspects that the wall safe was emptied, more of a robbery , while Andreas Keppler, in the face of the great brutality with which the perpetrator acted, rather assumes a relationship act with a lot of hatred and anger. Saalfeld notices tensions that seem to have existed between the wife and her husband, but she was in the hospital at the time of the attack. The daughter Sofie is not overly shaken by the death of her father and the son Patrick also did not have a very good relationship with the head of the family. According to statements by Ksen's son-in-law Bachmann, Patrick had every reason to hate his father for not helping him when he was in trouble, which in the end earned him a juvenile sentence of several years.

A serious suspect also seems to be Christian Scheidt, a former co-owner of von Kosen. His daughter died five years ago due to Ksen's guilt and since then he has been socially relegated. During his interrogation he indirectly incriminated Frank Bachmann. He had recently contacted him because he was supposed to help him collect incriminating material against Kosen in order to force him out of the company. If this had succeeded, Scheidt should have rejoined the company. However, he would have had to participate materially again, which Scheidt would not have been able to do in his current financial situation.

Saalfeld meets Sofie Kosen in the evening. As she is on the way home, she receives a call from Sofie that someone is in her apartment. Even while they are talking to each other, she becomes more and more restless and in the end Saalfeld hears her death screams. Before she and Keppler arrive, it will be too late. Sofie was slaughtered just as brutally as her father. Since Bachmann's cell phone is found at the crime scene, Keppler wants to arrest him. When he tries to find him, he finds him hanged in the company's office. However, he can rule out suicide based on findings . After tools are found in the office, it is clear to him that Bachmann should be blamed for the murders. Thereupon Scheidt is arrested because there is evidence that he was the perpetrator. But this too is obviously a ruse.

Everything now points to Patrick Kosen, who had a great hatred of his entire family and has now gone on a campaign of revenge after serving his sentence. Since Saalfeld suspects that he could also kill his mother, she drives to her and can save her. Patrick had exchanged her heart medication, and thanks to the superintendent's rapid intervention, the already unconscious woman can be brought to the clinic immediately.

When Keppler tries to arrest Patrick, he escapes. It is to be assumed that he could also take revenge on Scheidt. When Saalfeld and Keppler drive to him, they have to watch as Scheidt is provoked by Patrick so that he is beaten half to death by him. With the words: “There is no reparation without atonement ”, he lets the attacks go through without resistance after he has previously confessed that he was responsible for the death of Scheidt's daughter. The timely intervention of the investigators can save Scheidt from going to extremes. Nevertheless, he is arrested and Patrick is first taken to the clinic.

Reviews

Volker Bergmeister from Tittelbach.tv criticizes: “Eva Saalfeld has to put on her expression of dismay again and reproach herself, Andreas Keppler is the eternally slow breeder who eats things in rather than letting them out. There is hardly any development there, as the current case also makes clear. The two of them have to explain too much in dialogues, although the thriller certainly has action to offer. "

At Frankfurter Allgemeine , Oliver Jungs criticizes soberly and says: “Leipzig has seldom been so cold and ugly: The Leipzig crime scene 'Blutschuld' reveals the inner workings of a crumbling family with brutal violence.” “The whole city does not differ in appearance and atmosphere from the broken waste disposal company Kosen. Tram tracks, graffiti, electricity pylons half protrude into the picture, a nail salon, the barren inner courtyard of a clinic, sad fitted kitchens. The camera keeps crawling along the floor. Sometimes she looks, as if falling, into the sky. ”“ The fact that the development of the plot seems exciting, although the clarification of the case does not offer any surprises, is due to the consistency with which the screenplay penetrates into the brutal: Wherever redemption is sought, there is no inhibitions. However, director Kornatz finds it difficult to deal with the bored investigator duo "

Holger Gertz ( Sueddeutsche.de ) says: “The experimental setup for this 'crime scene' from Leipzig is very clear. The body of a man in the bedroom, blood everywhere. One speaks of overkilling. ”“ Saalfeld and Keppler [work] the whole thing down routinely. A lot of driving around and running around underlaid by threatening music, a lot of case discussions on endless stairs, that's how the two slow down. You: always a little too hard. He: puked forever, from life, from the crime scene, from everything. It is the penultimate case of Saalfeld / Keppler, you can tell. They don't touch because they don't move anymore. "

The critics of the TV magazine TV Spielfilm give their thumbs up and say: "Despite small weaknesses, it's quite exciting."
