action
The nurse Roza Lanczeck is the partner of Frank Brenner, who runs a construction company together with his ex-wife Katharina Brenner. Roza left her car to Frank so that he can repair the paintwork on the driver's door. The young woman comes to the company a day earlier than agreed to pick up her car. Brenner is currently in Frankfurt on business , so Katharina Brenner hands her the car keys.
Chief Detective Lena Odenthal receives a call. There was an accident in which the circumstances are unclear. The car's brake hose was cut with a knife and then frayed, as will be determined later. In the car was Roza Lanczek. Roza was four months pregnant. You and your unborn child cannot be saved. Roza's death is very close to her colleague and roommate Claudia Miedel. She says that Frank and Roza were very happy and wanted to get married. It was Roza's secret that she was able to get people out of hopeless situations through her own way. Frank wanted to sell the company and start over somewhere else with Roza. Both would have been very much looking forward to the child. But they also learn from her that Frank's sister Anne was clinging to her brother like a burdock and hardly ever left the couple alone.
At the company, Odenthal and Kopper only meet Katharina Brenner, who is concerned about Roza's death. From her they learn that the company still belongs to her and her husband together. But she also says that Frank Brenner was looking for an opportunity to get rid of Roza. She knows her ex-husband well, after a certain time everything becomes too much for him. She knew about the pregnancy. When Frank Brenner arrives and learns from his employee Szymon Pecht that Roza is dead, he turns away without a word and goes to his car. Only Kopper succeeds in stopping him. Confronted with the testimony of his ex-wife, he suddenly has a gun in his hand and threatens the officers. But his attempt to escape fails and he is taken away. He stubbornly refuses to give any statement.
Anne Brenner, who owns a gallery, expresses herself very derogatory to Odenthal and Kopper about Katharina Brenner, with whom her brother still lives together. She uses the company as a hamster wheel to hold her brother and says Katharina hated Roza. She hated every woman who got too close to Frank. They also learn from Anne Brenner that Katharina was very familiar with cars. Investigations have shown that she was in the garage with Roza's car. When Katharina is confronted with Anne's testimony, she says in return that it was Anne who destroyed her marriage to Frank. It is she who cannot bear it when another woman is more important to her brother than herself.
Brenner, who has now decided to testify, says that he was initially very much in love with Roza, but her pregnancy scared him and so he had to get rid of her. His representation of the manipulation of the brake hose agrees with the results of the investigations. Further investigation reveals that Anne also had a key for the workshop. From Ines, who worked in the anteroom, with whom Brenner also had a relationship, the officers learned that Anne often spoke badly about Roza. Frank always protected his little sister. The mother died giving birth and the father moved around with the children in a trailer. Once he doused it with gasoline and tried to set it on fire. Your childhood was certainly hell.
After Anne visited her brother in prison, she suddenly confesses to the murder. Odenthal states, however, that it could not have been Anne Brenner because she was in Friesland at the time of the crime . Brenner only used his little sister to get out of prison. Investigations reveal that it was Frank Brenner who tampered with the car. However, he did not want to kill Roza, but Katharina. In the meantime, Frank Brenner is with Katharina and accuses her of having given Roza the car, although she knew about the manipulation. Katharina yells at him that he wanted to kill her freezing cold. Frank wants to know why she didn't let him sell the company, then none of this would have happened after all.
In the meantime, the commissioners have found out from Anne where her brother could be and drive to the old trailer where Frank and Anne lived as children. In the caravan, Brenner sees himself transported back to the time when, as an adolescent, he wanted to save his little sister from the fire, although he himself was full of fear. Odenthal and Kopper arrive in time to prevent worse. "You are guilty of manslaughter in a particularly serious case," Lena later told Katharina Brenner. "They gave Roza the car even though they knew it was a dangerous weapon." Katharina's answer: "He wanted to kill me, throw me away like trash."
Production, background

At the scene Cold Blood is a production of SWR in co-production with the Maran film. Andreas Senn's third Odenthal crime scene is cold-blooded . For the screenwriter Christoph Darnstädt it was also the third time that he worked for a crime scene with Odenthal and Kopper. Previously, Darnstädt staged the Odenthal episodes Der Lipstickmorders and the anniversary crime scene Missing in collaboration with Andreas Senn .
reception
criticism
“In the 'Tatort' episode 'Cold Blood', actress Anna Loos is particularly convincing - a case with a surprising finale. [...] Author Christoph Darnstädt and director Andreas Senn have already devised and implemented the anniversary episode 'Missing' (2009) - one of the best Odenthal thrillers in over 20 years. To say that about the episode broadcast yesterday would be a lot of exaggeration. Almost all of the staff of the (potential) suspects are so off the beaten track that they sometimes look like caricatures. "
Holger Gertz from Süddeutschen.de was of the opinion "that it was not up to the actors once again that the Ludwigshafen crime scene had become a tough roast," [...] and came to the conclusion:
"There aren't many rules in life that you have to follow, one of them applies to Odenthal and Kopper as much as it does to all the old hands out there: Develop a feeling for when it's over."
T-Online found that [the crime scene] at least [had] some intense scenes thanks to an expressive Anna Loos. But these moments are all too few and far between. The result was:
"The Ludwigshafen investigators Lena Odenthal (Ulrike Folkerts) and Mario Kopper (Andreas Hoppe) remained bland and colorless like the entire case."
Niels Kruse from Stern.de summarized under the heading Boring instead of cold-blooded :
“It could have been a good thriller: intimate chamber play, good actors, murder motifs by the dozen. But in the end, 'Cold Blood' from Ludwigshafen was just a boring Lena Odenthal 'crime scene'. "
Lorenz Jäger from the FAZ chose the heading Thicket of Ambivalences and continued:
"Sibling love a bit too deep, its explanation a bit too bold: the Ludwigshafen 'Tatort' celebrates a psychodrama."
Volker Bergmeister judged for tittelbach.tv and was of the opinion that it was "a classic Whodunit thriller that seemed to be cleared up quickly:"
"Not only are the boundaries between victim and perpetrator fluid, the assessment also blurs between 'quite passable' (complex, exciting at times, heavily occupied) and 'seen everything umpteen times.' A further development of the Commissioner, as it has been for years, is not discernible. That's why Kopper makes music. "
The television magazine Hörzu gave the overall rating "successful" and found:
“A cleverly constructed case with a lot of tension. Captivating: tricky story, entangled feelings. "
The television magazine Gong awarded four out of six points, which corresponds to the assessment well :
“A sophisticated game with motives, dependencies and fear of loss. Psychologically finely balanced guesswork with prominent episode guest stars. "
