The contribution produced by Bayerischer Rundfunk is the 598th episode of the crime scene and was first broadcast on May 22, 2005 in the first program of ARD . The Munich investigator duo Batic and Leitmayr are investigating their 40th case in the context of an advertising agency.

action

Inspired by classical music, Rolf Mading drives his Porsche Cayenne to an appointment with Stephan Toczec in Wendelstrasse in Munich. On the way there he tries to reach his son-in-law Michael Klaes by phone. A short time later his daughter Ellen calls him back. The one-sided conversation, which was only about Toczec, doesn't fit Ellen at all. With a bottle of champagne in hand, Mading walks into Toczec's empty office. Then he is struck down with three shots from a bear killer .

Bernd Telwang introduces the stately Mading property to the two inspectors. Then he has to admit that the ingenious Stephan Toczec must be a phantom that Rolf Mading was enthusiastic about. Telwang's alibi seems plausible. Gunda Laux, the agency's potential new managing director, is in a hurry to pick up Ellen and Michael Klaes from the airport. She tells Batic that Michael Klaes was recently fired by Mading. At home she finds a gun in the cistern.

Meanwhile, Leitmayr is doing research on the Internet for the model icon Verena von Hellberg, Mading's first wife, who died in a car accident exactly 15 years ago. Mr Stolze, the patrol officer investigating at the time, reports on her driver and friend Guido Harras, who survived seriously injured and kept stammering that Rolf Mading had pushed her off the lane. Public Prosecutor Dr. Dreistätter was able to fend off the murder charge against Mading, whereupon Harras was sentenced to 7 years. Since all of this struck him as strange, Stolze copied all the files. He hands it to Leitmayr.

Telwang tells Gunda Laux that she must have been Toczec. The autopsy reveals that Mading only had about half a year to live in the face of an advanced lymphatic cancer. Laux and Klaes-Mading state that they did not know anything about it. Guido Harras tries to evade the police and mimes the innocent. Bernd Telwang should find him a lawyer.

The opening of the will brings a big surprise: the lion's share goes to one of Dr. Dreistätter managed foundation, Ellen and Michael Klaes receive the compulsory share and Gunda Laux gets nothing. The murder weapon was stolen by one of them during a summer party at a friend's house. And now Gunda Laux shows her to Ellen Klaes in the cistern. She also admits that she sold Michael Klaes' advertising concepts to Mading as Toczec. The police research now points to Klaes not only as a source of ideas, but he also landed on a private plane west of Fürstenfeldbruck. His Triumph Thunderbird was there in the parking lot. In the finale, Ellen Klaes lures her husband into Toczec's office and pulls out the gun. Shortly before the end, Batic and Leitmayr arrive and arrest Klaes.

Reviews

Tilmann P. Gangloff writes the following at evangelisch.de : “(...) If you know that the upswing of Mading's agency is based solely on the anonymous collaboration of an apparently ingenious advertising specialist, you can guess how complex this crime thriller actually is . Two contributors do not, however, contest this at all: Udo Wachtveitl and Miro Nemec play out their whole routine and in case number forty they appear as fresh as they did at the beginning of 1991 when they solved their first murder ("Animals"). "

The critics of the television magazine TV-Spielfilm recognize that the 'Tatort' series is a "good advertisement."
