action

While searching for the murderer of Bernd Eckermann, the head of personnel at a security company, the suspicion quickly falls on Volker Kubitzki, who was recently dismissed by Eckermann without notice because he refused a security mission because of the impending birth of his first child. However, his alibi is confirmed by two people. After the owner of the murder weapon can be determined and it is the ex-soldier Martin Schröder, this becomes the focus of the investigation. He claims that the gun was stolen from the locker of the rifle club, of which the victim's brother is a member.

Shortly afterwards, the psychotherapist Reinhardt Mackenrodt is killed according to a similar pattern and with the same weapon, so that Commissioner Casstorff is sure that the murders have something to do with Mackenrodt's work as a military psychologist, where he took care of traumatized soldiers. The investigations (and flashbacks) indicate a KFOR operation in Kosovo. The former regular soldier Udo Kannengießer was seen several times in front of Eckermann's house and found it difficult to cope with his life. After an interrogation by Casstorff, he goes nuts, shoots around on the street and wants to kill himself. However, the magazine was already empty.

Holicek, rather approvingly, drops the comment that Eckermann's watch was set to a date in 2000. An employee of the Clinic for Neurology, where Mackenrodt worked, gets Casstorff a suitable medical file. The clues lead back to Martin Schröder. In his meticulously furnished and prepared apartment, there is, among other things, a dejected complaint against Eckermann, countless rejected letters to the editor and a video tape from Schröder on which he describes the events in Kosovo. He gives conspicuous indications that he is after his wife too. Casstorff and the task force find him with his family on a very busy children's playground. Schröders can be isolated. Casstorff resolves the tricky situation psychologically and arrests Schröder.

criticism

Fabian Riedner judges when it comes to the quota meter and finds: “'Tatort: ​​Im Alone” is exciting and technically flawless, but the viewer receives so much information within a short time that he will have problems processing it. ”The film is“ a difficult one Food that the audience can pick up, especially on a Sunday evening, but who is briefly distracted on the way gets lost. "

The critics of the television magazine TV Spielfilm , on the other hand, gave the thumbs up for this crime scene and said: “Smart crime thriller about war trauma”.
