He will kill is a television film from the television crime series Tatort by ARD and ORF . The film was produced by Radio Bremen and broadcast for the first time on June 9, 2013. It is the 876th episode in the crime scene series. Chief Inspector Inga Lürsen ( Sabine Postel ) is confronted in her 28th case with the murder of her colleague Leo Uljanoff. Since there was a love affair between Uljanoff and Lürsen, this case is one of the most difficult for Lürsen. Together with her colleague Nils Stedefreund ( Oliver Mommsen ), who has since returned from Afghanistan and for whom it is his 23rd case, she tries to find out why Uljanoff had to die.

action

Chief Inspector Inga Lürsen and Chief Inspector Leo Uljanoff, who have been in love with each other since working together on the Puppeteer case , talk about their relationship in the manner of an interrogation. Uljanoff persuades Lürsen to go bowling with him and some colleagues. Shortly afterwards, in the toilet of the police headquarters, an unknown perpetrator rammed a knife into his back from behind, whereupon he collapsed and remained lying.

At around the same time, Lürsen's colleague Stedefreund appears in the Presidium, who has returned from Afghanistan, where he had taken part in a training course lasting several months. Lürsen is called by a colleague to a woman who had found her apartment devastated and threatened with threats and is now sitting shivering on a chair in the presidium and stammering again and again: "He will kill." At Lürsen's request, Stedefreund goes to the toilet Ulyanoff and finds his colleague lying dead in a pool of blood. Lürsen joins them and freezes. The trembling woman also sees the dead Ulyanoff and gets a screaming fit.

Since Lürsen is biased, she is not officially allowed to take over the case. However, she makes it unmistakably clear to her colleague Joost Brauer that she wants the case. Brauer agrees with the caveat that he is officially in charge of the case, but could of course use any help. It turns out that Ulyanoff was killed by a stab straight to the heart, so most likely the perpetrator must have known exactly what he was doing. Brauer has the building searched by a SEK on the assumption that the perpetrator has not yet left it, but in vain.

Through photos on the stranger's cell phone, Lürsen can finally determine that it is Dr. Marie Schemer is a trauma surgeon with a very good reputation. Now she is accusing her husband Joseph Vegener of having killed their daughter Christina years ago and will now continue to kill. She tells how she got there when he shook his little daughter like a doll. Stedefreund is now out that Schemer by now with the medical examiner is living Theo Kiempholz and her eight years ago because ex-husband Vegener infanticide has been convicted, but he was dismissed a week ago for good behavior early from prison. He was required to report to the police station twice a week. Leo Uljanoff was one of the officers handling the case and may now have fallen victim to Vegener's revenge. Brewer searches for Vegener.

Shortly after Marie Schemer goes to the toilet alone during the questioning, the police officers are called by their renewed screams. Schemer is sitting in a corner, bleeding and apparently injured in the arm by a knife. Again she accuses her ex-husband of the act, but he cannot be found.

Forensic doctor Dr. Katzmann learns from Lürsen that the knife with which Schemer was injured and Uljanoff was killed is the same. Schemer refuses the help of a psychologist . When Lürsen and Stede friend ring the bell for Robert Vegener, Joseph's twin brother, he is completely beside himself. All these years he suffered from hostility from the neighborhood. Finally, the investigators can catch Joseph and interrogate him in the police station. He denies having anything to do with his daughter's death and tells Lürsen his version of the story. He came home that evening, found his daughter already dead and shook her with grief and helplessness when his wife arrived and accused him of murder.

Stedefreund got the idea that Robert Vegener was pretending to be his brother, which he admits. He was in the presidium instead of Joseph in order to comply with the brother's reporting obligation and thereby suspects himself to be the murderer of Ulyanoff, since his alleged leaving the building cannot be documented by the surveillance cameras at first. Lürsen arranged for the brothers to see each other as if by chance during the interrogation. Robert was the only one who stood by and believed Joseph over the years. Since Joseph now assumes that his brother wants to sacrifice himself for him, he suddenly confesses to the murder of his daughter and Uljanoff, but Lürsen realizes that he only wants to protect Robert because he cannot precisely recount the course of events.

The autopsy report on little Christine's death states that shaking led to the child's death. He was led by Dr. Signed by Theo Kiempholz, Marie Schemer's partner. When Lürsen threatens the exhumation of the child's body, Marie Schemer wants to take her own life with tablets, which Lürsen and Stedefreund prevent. Finally she confesses what it really was like back then. As an assistant doctor, she was supposed to perform her first major operation and therefore gave her daughter a sleeping pill, which she had done before. This time the child did not wake up again and was found dead by Joseph Vegener. Her father and Theo Kiempholz, with whom she already had a relationship at that time, then persuaded her to present it as if Joseph Vegener had shaken his daughter to death. Kiempholz issued the appropriate death certificate. When she found out that Joseph had been released, she killed Leo Ulyanoff out of calculation, in order to again cast suspicion on her divorced husband, who would then have been imprisoned again. She explained that she couldn't stand his gaze.

Production notes and background

This Tatort episode was filmed in the fall of 2012 in Bremen and the surrounding area. The episode builds on the previous episode in Bremen, Puppeteers , in which Leo Uljanoff was introduced as Inga Lürsen's new colleague.

At the beginning of the film, Leo refuses to take over the apartment key from Inga Lürsen. When he is already dead, she receives a video in which Leo tells her that, if it isn't too late, he would very, very much like to have her key, which brings tears to Lürsen's eyes. When Inga wants to say goodbye to Leo, she meets his mother Irina, who sings Alexander Pushkin's “I loved her” to him: “Perhaps this fire in my heart hasn't completely burned out yet. But above all her rest is dear to me, I don't want to sadden her mind with anything. I loved her dumbly, hopelessly and painfully in all the agony that such love gives. I loved her, so truly and so sincerely, God grant that she will ever love anyone else. ”Inga is deeply touched by these words and Leo's mother recognizes that she is the woman her son spoke about so lovingly he wanted to introduce her soon. At the end of the film, the women stand together at Leo Uljanoff's coffin.

Nils Stedefreund, who has returned from Afghanistan, is repeatedly caught up with his bad experiences, which have left clear traces on him and changed his being. Images of what he had to experience suddenly appear in his mind's eye. Lürsen notices that he keeps swallowing pills.

In the middle and at the end of the film you can hear the song Kettering by the Indy combo The Antlers .

criticism

Holger Gertz from the Süddeutsche headlined “Declaration of love post mortem”, criticized the fact that there were “logic holes again” and summarized his judgment as follows: “In the Bremen 'Tatort' inspector Uljanoff is stabbed to death. Inga Lürsen's personal concern takes some of her aunt-like charm. After all, there was love between the two of them. The Kammerspiel, reduced to the essentials, revolves around the principle: quiet is loud enough. "

Sylvia Staude came to the verdict for the Frankfurter Rundschau that this “was not a harmless Münster crime scene and not a subtle crime scene either” and continued: “This Sunday evening it is vehemently about the constant, bitter nearness of death, like it even in the 'crime scene' it is not often about that. Death or survival are sometimes 'measurable in centimeters', so the city friend, tired of any Afghanistan adventure. There is also the sentence: 'It will never be good again, never again.' "

In his review for Tagesspiegel , Kurt Sagatz drew the conclusion that the “clarification of the case turned into a psychodrama.” Marcus Kanter's camera “deserves an exclamation mark” and “how he celebrates the construction of the operational room in the presidium [ e], [be] simply a delight. ”The critic continued:“ This 'crime scene' from Bremen […] is a classic crime thriller. Who lies? Who is telling the truth And above all: who is the murderer? This is exactly what it is all about. The dramaturgy, on the other hand, is unusual: the results of the investigation do not just fall from the sky, as is often the case in TV thrillers. It takes a long time before the first suspect is discovered. Inga Lürsen does not follow any inspiration, she and her colleagues work very professionally. "

Lorenz Jäger from the Frankfurter Allgemeine summarized his judgment in the sentence: "That is called great home cooking." That was "not meant ironically", because "the legacy of Leo Uljanoff" was that "investigations were carried out step by step" should be. Jäger continued: "There are sad and beautiful moments when Inga Lürsen remembers her dead lover."

Dagmar Weychardt came to the verdict for the television magazine Hörzu that the murder of Uljanoff overshadowed the joy of Stedefreund's return. In addition, Stedefreund had "brought the obligatory Afghan trauma with him from his foreign assignment, which made him tougher and more aggressive." In summary, the verdict : “Intense intimate play about loss and guilt. With the topics of Afghanistan, coping with grief, overworked hospital staff and messed up parent-child relationships, however, a few emotional abysses are torn open too much. One of these problem areas would have sufficed for the strong ensemble. […] Tragic losses, traumatic caesuras: moving, but a bit hectic, the case works through a lot. ”One point out of three possible points was awarded for action and tension, and two points for feeling. The overall rating was: “Successful”.

The television magazine Gong spoke of a “gripping plot from the start” which “whitewashed the incomplete logic of this crime tragedy.” The overall verdict was: “The thriller elements of the chamber play-like case are impressive. [...] Well-staged chamber play with gaps in logic. ”Four points out of a possible six were awarded, which corresponds to the overall rating“ Good ”.
