occupation

Bunny in the Pit is a television film from the crime series Tatort . The report produced by Bayerischer Rundfunk was first broadcast on November 23, 2008 in the first program of ARD . It is the 712th crime scene episode and the 51st case that Ivo Batic ( Miroslav Nemec ) and Franz Leitmayr ( Udo Wachtveitl ) have to solve. In a murder case, human abysses open up, and morale in the medical sector, which does not even stop at illegal drug trials on innocent children, falls by the wayside.

action

The “Children's Aid Foundation” of the doctors Prof. Dr. Ansgar Frey and Dr. Martin Jahnn has been providing medical aid in the war zones of Afghanistan for several years . Through her, the three girls with leukemia, Salima, Mariam and Shaheda, came from Afghanistan to selected foster families in Munich two years ago. The well-paid guardianship contract stipulates that the children can only stay in the “Hellerhof Private Clinic” with Prof. Frey and Dr. Jahnn to be treated. At a meeting of the foster parents, Salima's foster father Werner Hübner informed the managing director Eugen that he would take Selima to another clinic. In his opinion, she has been getting worse and worse since she started treatment. Shortly afterwards, Werner Huebner's body was found in the immediate vicinity of the clinic at the Tierparkbrücke. Since there are clear signs of a fight, the chief detective Batic and Leitmayr investigate together with Dr. Katharina Jung, a teacher at the police academy who wants to gain practical experience - but is not much help. It is reasonable to assume that the argument that Hübner started in the clinic could have something to do with his death. During the research it becomes clear that Werner Huebner's action endangered the IPO that the clinic was planning with its newly developed drug “Cineleuk 651”. And it turns out that the children aren't war orphans at all, but that Jahnn and Frey actually bought them. Originally Salima did not have any leukemia at all , but was systematically made sick in the “Hellerhof Private Clinic” in order to be able to project a recovery onto the new preparation.

With the threat of withdrawing Salima from the clinic and the irresponsible access of the doctors, the care contract would have become obsolete. The Hübner family, who also have two biological children, would have been missing EUR 3,000 in their monthly budget as a result, which would have been unbearable with their lifestyle. Anne Huebner and her husband got into such a heated argument on the way home from the clinic that he fell down the slope and died.

background

The episode was filmed under the working title guinea pig from May 27 to June 27, 2008 in Munich and the Munich area. The title of this crime scene sequence resulted from the working title and a text in the film, the foster father had written in a diary about Salima: "Poor bunny makes you sick until it can no longer jump."

"A thriller that touches more than it carries you away"

Kathrin Buchner wrote in Stern : “Director Dagmar Knöpfel does not trust the power of images and gestures so much, she lets a lot of talk in this 'crime scene', opens up a number of not entirely understandable secondary lines such as the constant filming of the noble classmate von Hübner-Sohn René ”.
