A charity gala at which Prof. Boerne tries his hand at being a magician and hypnotist ends with a special kind of testimony. Helena Stettenkamp, ​​the daughter of an entrepreneurial family, suddenly “sees” her grandfather's death in everyone while she was being hypnotized by Boerne Details. Under hypnosis, she describes live to the audience the circumstances surrounding the death of the old man and ends with the astonished discovery that her grandfather Franz had been poisoned . The description leads to a scandal which leads to a new examination of the body, in which Boerne confirms the poisoning of the patriarch of the biscuit dynasty. According to Boerne, the carrier of the poison was a confectionery from the family's own production. At the same time, Boerne's assistant Haller examines the corpse of the hang-glider Tobias Böhm and finds the same rare poison there.

Thiel begins to deal more closely with the Stettenkamp family and finds in every family member a possible motive for a murder of the former head. Boris Stettenkamp, ​​he threatened to throw his grandson out of the family business. After a while, his granddaughter Helena begins to remember her mother as the perpetrator. With his son Cornelius Stettenkamp, ​​the new head of the family, it was surprisingly discovered for everyone that he is sterile, while his son Boris suddenly appears as Helena's father, who was seduced by his stepmother Sieglinde at the age of 13 , and Helena was conceived. Only a short time later, the next poison victim appears in the family. It is Frederick Pleikart who had a relationship with Helena.

After Boerne and Thiel find out that Tobias Böhm was a childhood friend of Helena Stettenkamp and that Helena was already quite unscrupulous as a child, the connection between the poisonous murders comes to light.

criticism

Rainer Tittelbach was of the opinion: “I guess we have a real classic here!” As far as the murder method is concerned, pathologist Börne was correct, but when it came to the tension in this “crime scene”, his judgment was not so appropriate. A reasonably entertaining Whodunit thriller about a degenerate biscuit dynasty that sought its salvation in over-construction and with »Dallas«. " TV Spielfilm, however, judged: " The delicious homage to Agatha Christie entertains with bizarre characters and a cleverly constructed story. Only in the end it gets very complicated. "

The editorial staff of Prisma praised the main actors, "the investigator duo from Münster is simply unbeatable!" Kino.de went one step further and wrote: "This trio has looked for and found each other: Rainer Matsutani fits the adorable, teasing» Tatort « -Duo from Münster like a fist on the eye. ” Prisma found equally positive words for the performance of the director Rainer Matsutani, who also wrote the screenplay, so that their conclusion is: “ puns, strong actors and imagination provide the very best entertainment. ” According to The verdict of kino.de is Das Etern Böse a “pleasant” crime scene that “ doesn't need to shy away from any comparison with the other thrillers from Münster” . Matsutani not only “ hits the tone exactly” , he manages to maintain the “perfect balance between crime and comedy” , in which the “dialogue duels” between the protagonists “provide the comic elements of the film” , the search for the solution Murders remain "always exciting" . The “apparently complicated story” is “appealing” and ultimately leads to a “sovereign ending” . The supporting actors are "without exception aptly cast, but Karoline Eichhorn, Aleksandar Jovanovic and the young Teresa Weißbach still stand out from the ensemble" , as is Christel Peters, who appears in a guest role as Boerne's teacher .
