A television film from the crime series Tatort is not suitable for minors . The contribution produced by Bayerischer Rundfunk under the direction of Thomas Jauch is the 578th episode of the crime scene and was first broadcast on November 7, 2004 in the first program of ARD . The Munich investigator duo Batic and Leitmayr is investigating in its 38th case.
action
The pensioner Willy Tindle is on their way to the pharmacy together with his equally aged friends Adi Zeitler and Cynthia Lademaker. There he finds the old pharmacist Karl Kreuzer dead at his desk and can still see the alleged perpetrator, but cannot stop his escape. The cheerful group of pensioners gives the police their personal details and continues to a funeral appointment.
The Munich chief detective commissioners Ivo Batic and Franz Leitmayr have to inform Helga Müller, the good soul of the pharmacy, of the death of their boss. Oddly enough, Karl Kreuzer was stabbed to death with a coffee spoon that the perpetrator rammed into his ear, and investigators found a hiding place for illegal drugs. The police can also secure fingerprints at the scene that lead to Benny Marien. This is already on record as a petty criminal, and the commissioners first question his mother, who, however, had renounced him due to his criminal business and drug addiction and cannot help the investigators. Then they look for the witnesses to the attack in their senior citizens' residence. They claim to have been regular customers of the pharmacist. What Batic and Leitmayer are gradually experiencing: the fun-loving pensioner trio had Kreuzer supply them with all sorts of drugs with which they made their aging a little more bearable. When they are invited to coffee and biscuits by the pensioners, they only realize much later that they have been supplied with hash biscuits . So they researched the three of them and quickly realized that with their income situation they actually couldn't afford the noble senior citizens' flat and assume that they have actively financed their current living standard through drug trafficking.
For a short time, Batic and Leitmayr are targeting coffee sales by Arnold Gecko, who has been under surveillance for a long time in the drug search. But the circumstances surrounding the trio of pensioners are getting more and more complicated, so that the investigators believe it is possible that they are not entirely innocent of the death of the recently deceased Max Rademacher. Because of their old age, they consider themselves incapable of being held liable, which they see as a license for so many scams. Since Willy Tindle stole the wallet from the dead pharmacist, he fears that the police might mistake him for the murderer.
Meanwhile Carlo Menzinger succeeds in arresting the wanted Benny Marien. During his interrogation, he states that he originally wanted to ambush the pharmacist. But he got ahead of him and put him out of action with a spray and then locked him in the toilet. From there he overheard an argument between Karl Kreuzer and a woman. The investigators initially assume that this is Dr. Margit Schröder, the family doctor of the senior citizens' residence, has acted, but it turns out that the employee Helga Müller had an argument with Kreuzer. She had been in love with the single man for years, and when she found out that he wanted to go abroad without her to spend his old age there, she hit him with her very compact handbag. As he had just scratched his ear with the spoon, the accident occurred.
Trivia
Carlo Menzinger has parted with his overly long hair and wears very short hair. In the combination of Eva Pflug / Dietmar Schönherr , these two actors became known nationwide as early as 1965 in the German science fiction television series Raumpatrouille . One of these episodes is on television in the retirement home when Batic and Leitmayr want to question witnesses.
