Nachtsicht is a television film from the crime series Tatort . The report produced by Radio Bremen was broadcast on March 12, 2017 on Erste and SRF 1 . In this 1014th crime scene episode, the Bremen inspectors Lürsen and Stedefreund determine their 35th case.
action
Lürsen and Stedefreund are called to a crime scene where the 23-year-old Patrick Wernsmann was run over by a car several times and with full intent. The police, which among other things ensure tire and paint marks, find a prepaid cell phone that is registered in the name of Kristian Friedland near the dead person. Friedland, who worked as a painter and varnisher , was brought to the police station. In the middle of the interrogation his authoritarian father, Jost Friedland, a successful food chemist appears , who rigorously asks his son to come with him before Kristian can make a statement. Jost does everything to preserve the ideal family image. His wife Leonie, who lost a leg in an accident 30 years ago and is now suffering from incurable cancer , is said not to know anything about the suspicions the police had against her son. Kristian has had problems with alcohol and drug abuse in the past . The suicidal man was forced to surrender his driver's license for a while after a car accident .
The parents tell Kristian and his friend Tajana, who is in a wheelchair, that they are planning to emigrate to Canada and that they would like to transfer the house to them. There is a second murder during the night. Dennis Kutschke is killed in the same way as Wernsmann. Linda Selb from the BKA is involved in the investigation. She finds out that the traces of paint on the car that killed the two young men cannot come from a conventional car paint, but that it must be a special mixture, a kind of “radar-repellent camouflage paint”. The investigators recognize a connection with other homicides that have occurred in the rural area of Bremen and in which a hit-and-run was committed. From this they conclude that there is a high probability that there are serial acts by a single perpetrator. All the evidence suggests that Kristian Friedland must be directly involved in the murder cases. The burden of proof against him is reinforced after a third act.
Kristian's mother discovers the backpack that her son is carrying with her during the deeds. There is a state-of-the-art night vision device in this backpack . With the help of this device and the conversion of the car (low-noise electric motor for crawling, matt black camouflage paint, exchangeable bumpers, no license plate) Kristian was able to drive up to his victims unnoticed in the dark. A car that has been converted into a weapon to perfect the nocturnal hunt for people. The police found a series of self-painted pictures in his children's room, which show extremely brutal motifs. The realization grows that Kristian must be severely mentally disturbed. It also fits that he keeps trophies of his murderous acts: for example, pieces of tissue that were found on the bumper of the car, a fingernail and a tooth. Jost Friedland tries to direct suspicions about his son to his boss, the car dealer Roger Wego, by depositing the night vision device there. After this did not bring the success he had hoped for, the Friedland family developed disastrously. The father, who wanted to protect his family to the utmost, must realize that his son has become an unpredictable murderer and that it is only a matter of time before the police can prove it. To prevent this from happening, he anesthetizes Kristian with an injection , stows it in the trunk of his car and hopes to get him out of the country without being noticed. When the police storm his house, they find the father in front of the television, where he is watching a film of Kristian as a child with tears in his eyes.

reception
Reviews
“This 'Tatort' episode, which is extraordinary in every respect, has become a B-movie on the subject of man and machine, a little sick film about the car as a substitute for the world and living space, as a substitute for religion and sex. Not a thriller for hobby detectives. "
“The special thing about this gloomy story is that although it ends well and ARD-compliant, it still leaves the decisive points open. Not explaining things can be a great strength in a film. However, this is only rarely used in German pay-TV. "
