A New Life is a television film from the crime series Tatort . The report produced for Bayerischer Rundfunk was first broadcast on October 28, 2012 on ARD's first program. It is the 848th episode of the crime scene and the 62nd episode of the investigative team Batic / Leitmayr.
action
A man is dragged through the night forest by his tie hanging in a side window of a car.
Days later, Leitmayr and Fechner evaluate traces of the place where a charred corpse was found in a burned car in a forest clearing without license plates and chassis number. Gabriel Fechner is new to the police service as a police candidate, overzealously wants to do everything right and has considerable self-doubts about the correctness of his career choice. A short time later Ivo Batic joins the group, who has just returned from his vacation in Croatia.
The tracks lead to a column of pushers led by Isabella and Sandra, a lesbian couple.
Troop members collect donations from front doors allegedly to save baby seals in Canada from slaughter . Donations are collected using an EC card , but manipulated devices are used to copy the card data along with the PIN ( skimming ) and thus later plunder the accounts.
From now on, Batic investigates as an undercover agent within the column, but without approval from his superior. However, he quickly gets on the track of the illegal action of his employees, as he is related to Fechner and he keeps him up to date on the investigation.
Commissioner Ivo Batic is informed about the machinations of the column leaders by Rupert Hoferer (alias Fred), with whom Batic came into closer contact. Fred managed to get to the customer file and the associated EC card data together with the column member Jörg, who had disappeared some time ago. Fred copied it onto a USB stick that Jörg had taken and hidden for safety. When Isabella discovers that her painstakingly collected data has not only been copied but even deleted, she quickly finds the culprit. Then not only Fred but also Batic is in danger. He and Fred are kidnapped by the two women. Fred is clear that now his end should have come. In fear of death, he talks to Batic about his guilt. After Jörg just didn't want to give the stick back, Fred tried to intimidate him. He pushed that too far in his rage, however, so that Jörg was suffocated. Then he would have put Jörg in the car and set it on fire to cover his tracks.
When they arrive in a forest, the two have to dig a hole. Presumably this is supposed to be her own grave. When they finish work, the dominant Isabella wants Sandra to kill them. When she tries to pull the trigger, Batic identifies himself as a police officer. He's talking to Sandra so she doesn't shoot. When Isabelle notices that her friend is becoming insecure, she encourages her bossy manner, whereupon Sandra points the gun at Isabella and shoots her.
reception
Reviews
“Imagine a long yawn. Then think about it a little longer - and bang, the reviewer is so enthusiastic about this 'crime scene'. It is by no means bad and has only a few absurdities. But it lacks stringency to such an extent that in the end the viewer doesn't really want to know exactly what it was like with the dead man in the forest. It's not a thriller. It may pass as a feature film. The following verdict is therefore issued: Only pathological repeat offenders should switch on here. "
“The good thing is that someone like Batic is obviously never too old for police work. Together with his colleague Franz Leitmayr (Udo Wachtveitl) he has been working in the Munich TV area for over 20 years [...]. They don't have a come-let's-wiggle-through-the-case attitude as is so often the case with their colleagues Ballauf and Schenk in Cologne, who have been on duty for almost as long , but neither does this fake is-the-world -not-bad-concern of Odenthal and Kopper in Ludwigshafen, the longest-serving ' Tatort' team. Instead there is an always awake, never cynical routine. And that seems edifying, especially against the background of the hysterical renovation work that is currently being carried out in the 'Tatort' country, in front of all the new spectacular TV areas that are emerging between Weimar and Waterkant. "
“Roughly carved, the whole thing, you don't find out what fate has made the two devils, you only hear slogans, the characters have no roots, their threat turns into a caricature of menace. Quite different to the last time at the BR crime scene ' The Sad King ', where every person is so burned into their memory that one would still like to know whether the king is happy again. "
