action
"It's bad" is the first thing that Chief Inspector Frank Steier says to his colleague, Chief Inspector Conny Mey, when they are called to a crime scene that demands a lot from them. The prostitute Ramona Förster has been killed. The woman was tortured with countless knife stabs, so that her blood is spread all over the room. Post-mortem, her throat was also cut by the killer. When Detective Chief Inspector Erik Seidel arrives at the scene of the crime to support him, it leads to differences between him and Mey, both of whom don't particularly like each other. Seidel, who was suspended after his involvement in the A Better World case , is to be given a new chance. Walter Hillinger, the head of the homicide squad, even wants Seidel to lead the case, but Mey takes a stand and threatens to leave if the case is withdrawn from her. However, she agrees that the colleague can work in her team because of his experience.
Seidel found out from the police reporter Kurt Eggers that six months ago a similar murder of the prostitute Henrietta Lohse took place in Offenbach. That could indicate a serial offender. Mey follows the trail of Markus Förster, the dead man's ex-husband, who had an appointment with Ramona during the time of the crime and is therefore the main suspect. He is shadowed, and when he disappears into the apartment of the prostitute Tanja Rose, the apartment is stormed, but both are only found there during sexual intercourse. When Tanja Rose is found murdered just three hours later, killed in the same way as Ramona Förster, Markus Förster desperately claims that he had not been to her again, that he had a huge row with his wife Yasemin over the investigation against him. Steier, who created the perpetrator profiles, is of the opinion that Förster is out of the question as a perpetrator. The perpetrator vented his frustration on the women, he was probably socially isolated, maybe even humiliated. In the case of Förster, however, it is the case that he has an excessively strong sexual drive, which he acts out in prostitutes.
In the meantime, Eggers has contacted Christian Rusnak, who among other things had molested his own niece Henrietta Lohse and fled from prison shortly before the end of his sentence. Rusnak manages to outsmart him, and now the reporter sits tied to a chair across from him. He tells him he's not the one to slash hookers. Although he raped Henrietta and two other women and was imprisoned for it, there is something in him that cannot be locked away. Then he shoots himself in front of the reporter's eyes.
Shortly afterwards, Holger "MOG" Ritter, who lives in the same house as Markus Förster, is arrested. He threatened his girlfriend Rita Herfurth with an ax. She left him, he gives as the reason. The awkward-looking man is visibly inhibited by the presence of the commissioner. So Steier and Seidel hear him alone. Among other things, they find out that as an unskilled worker in a factory, he has to do with packaging film, from which traces were found at the respective crime scenes.
However, since a check of his DNA does not match the traces found at the crime scenes, the commissioners have to let Ritter go on instructions from Hilinger. Mey says desperately: “There he is sitting in front of us, that's him and we have to let him go. That doesn't exist. ”Steier also shares her opinion, he says that Ritter wraps himself in cling film, that is his fetish , so there are no DNA traces of him.
There is another murder of a prostitute, Steier explains that there is a deviation from the behavior pattern in so far as the perpetrator has always brought his weapon, a knife, with him. This time he deviated from it and used a weapon of opportunity and then smashed the woman's skull with a hammer. The increase in violence was similar in all cases, and there was always over- killing . He is concerned with the category of personification , he has no classic motive, only the implementation of his deviant sexual fantasy, which he has to act out in order to gain satisfaction, is his motivation.
Ultimately, a parking ticket convicts the perpetrator of wrongly parking - the result of a holistic and exemplary police investigation. When Steier and Mey track down Ritter in the psychiatry , they are confronted with a seriously mentally ill man who will probably never really be prosecuted due to his inability to guilt. Steier wants to know from him why he inflicted such deep larynx cuts on the women. “That's where the language is,” is his answer.

Mey's relationship with him is strained, and she doesn't like the way he treats her. For the first time you also learn something from Steier's private life. When Mey asks him if she should ask a personal question about why he actually never goes home, Steier replies that there is nothing there and then improves, yes, there is a friend.

criticism
The Süddeutsche Zeitung summarized this crime scene episode in one sentence:
“A few seconds tell a whole story. Great."
Sandra Kegel from the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung was of the opinion, “that tension is never created by over-aestheticized images. The camera stays close to the people: the victims, the suspects, the inspectors. ”And you inevitably ask yourself the question:“ What happens when you encounter evil? ”
“The Frankfurt 'crime scene. It's evil 'is a masterpiece and hard to bear. It goes back to a true incident, a case of gruesome murder of prostitutes. "
Torsten Thissen from the daily newspaper Die Welt praised the film as “exciting, no frills”, further judged, “good for everyone who likes their thrillers bloody, but not only for them” and came to the conclusion: “This crime scene is a really good film. ”and headlined“ After this crime scene it is difficult to fall asleep ”, which is primarily due to Kunzendorf and Król, who noticeably enjoy their roles and how real people [would] speak instead of reciting texts. What is missing, however, is the socially critical background, the outstretched index finger with which Lena Odenthal or the duo Ballauf / Schenk [would] send the audience to bed. And continued:
“'It's nasty' does without the typical clichés of German do-gooders screenwriters. It's refreshing, but on the other hand also exhausting. You really have to see this film. "
