The double Lott is a German television thriller by Manfred Stelzer from 2005. It was created as the 615th episode of the crime series Tatort .

action

The building contractor and politician Frieder Lott is currently on a mayor campaign tour in Münster. With his right-wing slogans, he caused protests, especially among the young people of Münster. Thiel happened to be at the town hall in a demonstration against Lott when he saw the politician disappear into a side street not far. One of the protesters runs after Lott and Thiel follows him to prevent a confrontation. When he turns the corner, he sees the politician bleeding on the ground while the protester flees. It turns out that the man who succumbs to his injuries on the scene is not Frieder Lott, but the comedian Joachim Montell, who ridiculed Lott in his shows. He had taken to the street in Lott disguise. Lott himself now uses the alleged attack on his life for election advertising.

Boerne meanwhile has another problem. He is suspected of running over a man with his car. His car type was recognized by witnesses and shows an accident damage. Since Boerne has a little flag because, according to his own statement, he could not stand the fish after an excellent meal in a noble restaurant and therefore drank a schnapps to digest, the suspicion of drunk driving is in the room. The dead man is examined in Cologne by forensic doctor Roth, a former fellow student of Boerne. Roth can rule out that Boerne's car caught the man. The protester who was seen at Montell is also omitted as a murderer, especially since he saw two masked men running away from the crime scene. Boerne investigates on his own in the car workshops and finally finds the accident vehicle. The driver admits to having knocked over a tall, hooded man who came running with a second from the town hall and was not paying attention to the traffic. Not far from the scene of the accident, Thiel finds a knife in a bush that later turns out to be a murder weapon.

Thiel determined in all directions. A relationship act by Montell's lover Tom Linden cannot be ruled out either, as Montell wanted to leave him for the Cologne public prosecutor Jansen. Thiel in turn learns from Jansen that he faxed an old investigation file to Montell shortly before his death. It shows that Lott was charged with the sexual abuse of a minor ten years ago, but the lawsuit was suddenly dropped. Thiel suspects that Lott paid the woman a hush money, but both Lott and the victim at the time are silent. In the Krusenstern's pub, Thiel met the young Larissa, whom Nadeshda introduced to him as a German studies student from Kiev. Larissa has her belongings stolen and so she waits at the Krusensterns and cleans at Boerne. Thiel falls a little in love with Larissa.

Since Boerne's innocence with regard to the car accident has been proven, he is now allowed to investigate the victim. Due to various characteristics, it defines its origin in the Caucasus region and there in Ingushetia . There, in turn, Lott has various construction contracts in progress. It becomes clear that he was actually supposed to be the murder victim. Meanwhile, Thiel says goodbye to Larissa, who wants to fly back home the next day. The next morning Lott's bodyguards inquire about Larissa. As Nadeshda's father knows, it actually comes from Ingushetia. In the morning Boerne also misses his golf equipment, while Thiel cannot find his service weapon. Both drive to Lott's golf course, where Boerne finds his golf bag . You now know that Larissa is on the green and wants to kill Lott. They can't prevent Larissa from finding Lott in front of them and threatening them with Thiel's pistol. It turns out that Lott once raped Larissa's 14-year-old sister, got pregnant, and eventually killed herself. Larissa now wants to avenge her sister. Thiel succeeds in overpowering Larissa, even if he is shot by a bodyguard of Lott's. In the end, Thiel, his father, Boerne and the Krusensterns sit with public prosecutor Wilhelmine Klemm eating wild boar - Boerne had an accident with his car, but kept silent about it because he was traveling too fast when he collided with the wild boar. However, that does not prevent him from running over a red light too quickly on the drive home despite Thiel's warnings and being promptly flashed.
