An honest skin is the 554th episode of the crime series Tatort with the Berlin investigators Ritter and Stark , played by Dominic Raacke and Boris Aljinovic . The RBB television film was first broadcast on January 4, 2004. Their 16th joint case is about a dead drug dealer and a high-ranking politician who is actually honest skin , as he argues in his election campaign.

action

A drug dealer is killed and the high-ranking politician Manfred Körner is suspected. He ran over the young man, but he was already dead. The press still finds ways to involve the politician in the murder case. The dead man's friends would also like to see him in the pillory. When Körner comes home from jogging in the evening, young people lie in wait for him and smash his car. He then lets a taxi take him to these boys' club and confronts them. Ritter drives after Körner to help him in an emergency. In doing so, he also gets into their hands, but can free himself and grains.

Meanwhile, Stark is looking for Conny, the dead man's sister. She is extremely emotional and about to throw herself off a high-rise. He talks to her and can stop her from jumping off. In an interview, she confesses to him that she knew that her brother was dealing and that she wanted him to quit because her twin brother had already died of drugs at the age of 15. She hit him, and he fell into a building pit and was dead. Her friend Nato then took him away from there.

An action highlight of the film: On a chase, Ritter travels almost American style like a big city cowboy on the roof of a car.
