Violent Fever is a television film from the crime series Tatort by ARD and ORF . The film was produced by SWR and first broadcast on December 2, 2001.

action

The corpses of three teachers and a student are found in the staff room of a deserted school. The classmate Jacky Groom, who wanted to hand in detention in the afternoon and found the dead, drives his Vespa into a truck workshop , completely disturbed, and is expected there by a young woman, to whom he tells what he has seen.

Apparently, the student Paul Cordes shot the teachers and then himself with a shotgun and a pistol. The school principal contradicts this vehemently and praises Paul in the highest tones, but has to admit that there was an allegation against Paul of sexual harassment.

Lena Odenthal finds a photo of him and a friend in Paul's room, whom Jacky identifies as Chris Domnik, who has been expelled from school and gone into hiding. They belong to a mysterious clique that calls itself an “association”, organizes occult masses and harassed students and teachers. School director Lobentag has to admit that his son Fabian fell under the spell of this group.

The investigation leads to the school's computer room, where image files with Paul's bloody animal sacrifices were placed during the night. Paul's seriously ill and distant mother cannot and does not want to contribute to the explanation.

Lobentag does not realize how he is hurting his own son with his fixation on his favorite student Paul. Fabian feels neglected by his father and plays a video to the police that shows his father and Jacky being beaten by him. Gradually the extent of the reign of terror of the "association" becomes apparent. Both students and teachers were blackmailed and drugs were traded.

A renewed examination of the smoke marks proves that Paul Cordes was murdered. Confronted with this, the "association" members clash and do not notice that they are being observed by Kopper. They make up for their mistake by committing themselves to Fabian , who is under criminal responsibility, as the perpetrator in the district court . This does not contradict and so all members of the group are initially exempt from punishment and may even remain on bail until the main hearing.

Odenthal later speaks to Fabian again, who tells her that everything went as it did in the film. Since Jobst, one of the teachers, did not want to be blackmailed, the group decided to use force to get the money asked. Two of them were "clean, and just did it." He ran away himself. Chris Domnik also opens up and confesses that she and Paul Cordes broke into the staff room and after Jobst insulted and cursed her, Cordes shot wildly. After he just didn't stop and even reloaded, she got scared and would have stopped him with a shot from her pistol.
