action
Joachim Benda, the star of Dresden's trendy gastronomy, is found shot dead in his restaurant. The commissioners Karin Gorniak and Leonie Winkler suspect that Benda was cashed in by protection rackets. His widow Katharina also reports threats and a nightly attack on Benda and his family. The trace intensifies when the bullets from the crime scene can be assigned to a weapon that was already used in a murder in the red-light district. Head of the commissariat Schnabel, who knew Benda personally and wants to solve the murder case quickly, urges further investigation results. But Winkler and Gorniak doubt the widow's statements, as she has become entangled in contradictions. The investigators also ask their boss uncomfortable questions about his relationship with Benda and his regular guest Levon Nazarian, a seedy building contractor, based on the photos they found. Winkler's father, the retired detective Otto Winkler, also seems to have known both men well. Winkler creeps the suspicion that her father has allowed himself to be bribed and exchanged information from Nazarian for internal police information.
Surprisingly, the tip of an undercover agent throws the previous investigative approaches overboard: The murder weapon belonged to Benda himself. He had acquired it illegally on the black market . Now Katharina Benda is finally the focus of the investigation, but her alibi for the night of the crime is complete. The widow also succeeds in using her personal relationship with Schnabel to hinder the investigation. Leonie Winkler feels compelled to apologize to her in a very embarrassing way.
But the commissioners do not give up. By analyzing the victim's hard drive, they find out that Benda wanted his wife to be admitted to a psychiatric ward. Apparently he feared for the safety of his two sons, who were apparently manipulated and psychologically abused by their psychotic mother, but could not get a divorce due to his involvement in money laundering transactions without them being exposed.
Finally, the investigators succeed in reconstructing the fact that Katharina Benda had forced her sons to practice target shooting in the forest. A projectile found in a tree stump connects the widow with the murder weapon. Gorniak and Winkler go to the Bendas' house to arrest the woman, but Katharina and her sons are already on the run. When her car is stopped by the police a little later, the cornered, mentally ill woman threatens to throw herself off a car park roof with her children. In a dramatic finale, Gorniak tries to persuade the woman to give up. The dialogue on the roof also clears up the crime: Valentin, the younger son, killed Joachim Benda after the older son Viktor refused to shoot his own father on behalf of his mother. He had recognized that the father was right in his judgment about the mother. Gorniak can save the two sons at the last second. Katharina Benda falls from the roof, but survives because the fire brigade placed a cushion in time.

reception
Reviews
The film received different ratings from the press. The FAZ found Nemesis “worth seeing” and emphasized that “Stephan Wagner (direction and book) and Mark Monheim (book) succeeded in presenting the brothers and their mother with great emotional and psychological truthfulness”. The Tagesspiegel also praised the dramaturgy and actors: “Nemesis is cleverly designed, its images are clear and cold, everything is kept in shades of gray. Like a spiraling suction, the traces lead more and more into a darkness that Gorniak and Winkler would rather not locate where they should locate it. It is the dark abysses of a family that open up before them. A family that appears to be wealthy and intact, with two children and a restaurant that is one of the city's hotspots. But almost everything is deception. It can often be seen from the faces of the two very differently designed boys - and Juri Sam Winkler and Caspar Hoffmann succeed in depicting this excellently - that something is wrong here. A threatening subtext. A deadly one, maybe. " Stern.de particularly emphasized Britta Hammelstein's portrayal of the murder victim's widow, who played the" uncanny and outwardly so normal-looking wife and mother in an incredibly convincing manner ". Also Kino.de was impressed by Hammel stone theatrical performance: "The largest contributors to the strong second half of" Nemesis "has actress Britta Hammelstein which makes their role as opaque mother a true tour de force, and the" crime scene "for Psychological thriller reinterpreted. "The TAZ particularly praised the script:" Nemesis shows in an exemplary manner how to forge a captivating crime story from the realistic description of police investigation work and a convincing perpetrator psychology. In addition, Monheim and Wagner weave another fundamental topic: Winkler and Gorniak are faced with the decision between the servile adaptation to the system and the uncompromising search for the truth. " N-tv also highlighted the work of the scriptwriters:" As a creative ping-pong -Game "is the name given to the two of them the process with which they develop their stories. In this quality, the two of them will soon be able to pick up the symbolic table tennis bat again. ”The Stuttgarter Nachrichten also rated the episode positively and sees the Dresden investigative team on the right track:“ In this episode, intense and depressing scenarios meet atmospheric density and some great acting. If Dresden is not careful, it will soon be the “Tatort” capital ”. The program magazine rtv saw it too: "Dresden is developing more and more into a" crime scene "stronghold."
The Süddeutsche Zeitung , on the other hand, saw only one “episode that serves traditional viewing habits”, while Spiegel Online was much more critical of Nemesis: “In order to keep the tension in this" crime scene "high, the audience is repeatedly thrown clues that are relevant to it or talk about that perpetrator. […] But through this circumstantial roulette, which is kept going, the emotional and psychological center of the film will be gambled away at some point. [...] As effective as "Nemesis" is partly filmed: As a mafia thriller, the film soon collapses, and as a psychological drama it hardly scratches the surface of the self-chosen material. The new start of the Dresden "Tatort" episode, which began in April with the horror episode, as a tough, contemporary cop crime thriller, does not work. ”Even the Münchner Abendzeitung could not gain much from the“ dry ”crime thriller:“ The film would have been crisper if you had yourself focused on the psychological issue. Everything falls apart. ”The reviewer for the NZZ points out that the actresses in the three main roles tore“ the somewhat arbitrary narrative ”from the“ criminal case according to the operating instructions for uniformity ”. “ Mansplaining was yesterday”.
