Decoy is a television film from the crime series Tatort by ARD and ORF . The film was produced by Norddeutscher Rundfunk and broadcast for the first time on May 27, 1996. It is about the crime scene episode 334. For the detective chief inspector Paul Stoever ( Manfred Krug ) it is the 28th case. For his colleague Peter Brockmöller ( Charles Brauer ) it is the 25th case in which he is investigating.

The investigators have to prove the innocence of a colleague who has fallen into a tragic trap as an undercover agent in the right-wing extremist milieu.

action

Disguised as judoka , a military sports group regularly gathers under the direction of Peter Kaiser. One of the members is Wotan, actually Chief Inspector Gerd Eifels, who works undercover under the code name "Walter Stoers". The Turkish innkeeper Yüksel Agban orders him late in the evening. Once there, an attack on Eifels is faked and while defending himself he shoots one of the masked attackers. When he lies dead on the ground, he recognizes Agban under the mask, who is holding a pistol in his tied hands, but he did not shoot. He was used as a decoy to lure Eifels into a trap.

The inspectors Stoever and Brockmöller are called to the scene and now have to prove the innocence of their colleague, whom they themselves had urged into this undercover mission. They wanted to solve the arson attack on a Turkish snack bar in which the owner, Cem Agban, was killed a year ago. Apparently Eifel's cover has been blown and the investigators are now trying to find out who from the neo-Nazi milieu could have come from behind Eifel's true identity.

In his investigations, Stoever finds evidence of the "Kaiser Judo School" and tries to get hold of the members of the group. Although Kaiser and his assistant Dehmels appear extremely unsympathetic to the investigators, they cannot prove any illegal activities. After being interrogated, they are released.

Meanwhile, Eifels himself is on a campaign for revenge. He finds it difficult to cope with the fact that he has shot an innocent man and provokes Kaiser to lure him from his reserve. He first sends two of his people out to deal with the "Wotan" problem. But this time he outsmarts his opponents. He is able to incapacitate both persecutors and takes them into custody. He locks her up in a cellar and wants to force her to sign a confession that she is neonatric.

Although Stoever has Kaiser monitored, he is shot by an unknown person in front of his judo club. Meanwhile, Eifels is putting pressure on his prisoners and is surprised by Yüksel Agban's son who wants to avenge his father. Eifels learns that the attack a year ago was about protection racket and that Yüksel Agban was also extorted for a long time. Now, months after he refused to pay any more, he was killed too - and then by a police officer.

Stoever and Brockmöller now find out that Olaf Dehmels had exposed the undercover agent and that he very likely also shot Kaiser to take his place in the group. Stoever wants to set a trap for him. He lets Gürkan Agban call Dehmels to tell him that he has evidence of extortion and that he knows where two of his men are being held. He orders him to go to the bar in whose basement the two are being held. When Dehmels and his group arrived there, the SEK took action and everyone involved was arrested.

Reviews

The Berliner-by-choice comes to the conclusion: "The staging is already modern, the illustrations in some sequences as well, the music by Klaus Doldinger ('Das Boot') mostly orchestrated somewhat old-fashioned, but appropriate in the dramatic scenes." Right at the beginning of the evaluation said the Berliner-by-choice: “Show the edge, the NDR can do that better than some other broadcasters with its crime scenes. If that is done with Stoever and Brockmöller, it doesn't seem as pretentious as in some of today's crime scenes, for example those from Hanover. "

The critics of the television magazine TV Spielfilm gave the best possible rating (thumbs up) and said: "Slightly confused, but always entertaining".
