You will be judged is a television film from the crime series Tatort . It is the ninth case of the Lucerne investigator Reto Flückiger ( Stefan Gubser ). The broadcast produced by SRF was first broadcast on September 6, 2015. The viewer knows the perpetrator , Simon Amstad, early on , can follow his actions and recognize his motive - the police investigations are shown in parallel.
action
In Lucerne, two Albanian car dealers are shot dead with a sniper rifle from a black van in the street. The two Albanians are known to the police: four years ago, apparently for no reason, they beat a young man so brutally that he has since been paralyzed in a wheelchair. The perpetrators were never convicted because the Swiss judiciary is overloaded. Reto Flückiger and Liz Ritschard visit the victim at the time, who is relieved but has an alibi to show.
The sniper is the auto electronics technician Simon Amstad, whose depressed wife Karin is extremely closed and repellent to him, which he tries in vain to change through loving care. She only places her trust in his best friend Simic, a former Serbian sniper from the Bosnian war . In an evening conversation that Amstad secretly eavesdrop on, she confesses to Simic the reason for her closeness: She was raped several times by her former boss, but is too ashamed to confide in her husband or even to make it public. Amstad runs its own small workshop in the backyard. In their basement, the entrance camouflaged by a sliding locker, he has set up a workshop in which he makes special ammunition and meticulously prepares for further attacks. Here, he professionally plans his approach based on photos, plans with possible escape routes and the meticulously listed daily routine of the respective target person.
The following day, a trustee is shot dead, again unrecognized from the black van. The investigators find that the murder weapon and ammunition are similar. This victim was also not convicted after the man killed a mother and her child in a traffic accident three years ago through aggressive driving. The press is already talking about a serial offender in Lucerne. The special commission that has been set up is supported by a profiler who is brought in from England. Based on the results of the investigation so far, he predicts further victims, as the perpetrator wants to attract public attention through his acts of vigilante justice and has engraved the paragraph mark “§” in his ammunition, which includes manual dexterity. Flückiger suggests luring the stranger out of the reserve by giving a false report to the press. The next day it is published that the trustee was the victim of a jealous drama.
Amstad, who feels misunderstood as a result, sends a text message from a mobile phone to a Lucerne newspaper in which he announces another assassination attempt for the next day. Then he smuggles the phone into the van of a man he'd had a fight with the day before in a bakery. The police locate the phone, pursue the man and arrest him with a special task force, but Flückiger and Ritschard discover that he is the wrong person. The special commission compiles a list of people who have committed crimes in the past but were not prosecuted for them and therefore fit into the profile of previous victims. Since the police cannot protect the target persons individually due to a lack of personnel, one begins to warn them of a possible attack by telephone.
Amstad is now preparing for his next victim in his basement workshop. Suddenly he is surprised by Simic, who unexpectedly appears through the open secret entrance in the basement. He realizes that Amstad is the sniper he is looking for and is planning further attacks. He tries to convince him to give up. Amstad justifies his actions first of all, saying that he has lost faith in the legal system and must therefore ensure justice himself. When Simic does not let up with his incantations, Amstad finally kills him with a hammer.
The next day, Amstad ambushed the fourth victim in his van, a man who abused a trainee and got away with no punishment. When his brother, who looks like him, comes outside to smoke, Amstad accidentally shoots him, but realizes his mistake when the actual target person arrives. Amstad shoots him several times without hitting him and eventually escapes from the scene, with his black van being seen by the man.
Through the delivery truck, the police finally tracked down the killer, who had previously been the focus of the investigation. Amstad, who is about to make Simic's body disappear, is surprised by his wife Karin in the basement. She recognizes the situation, but also sees how much it had to mean to him for him to be driven into it. He offers her to face, but she refuses, otherwise she would be alone. She takes him to her apartment and hugs him. At the same time Flückiger appears in the courtyard and finds access to the armory. Just as he is on his way to the Amstad's apartment, Simon Amstad shoots himself and his wife in the head with a single bullet.

criticism
According to Rainer Tittelbach from tittelbach.tv , the crime scene is “a very physical crime drama suspense thriller, a violent Michael Kohlhaas story, staged in an extremely suggestive way and with a tendency to bloody violence, which is borderline for prime time. Still one of the best of the nine SRF »crime scenes« with Gubser. "
The critics of the television magazine TV-Spielfilm rate the crime scene positively and say: “Although the shooter will be presented soon, the cat-and-mouse duel between him and the police remains exciting.

The end is hard. "
