One Way Ticket is a television film from the crime series Tatort . The contribution produced by Bayerischer Rundfunk is the 1114th Tatort episode and was broadcast on December 26, 2019 in the program Das Erste . The Munich investigator duo Batic and Leitmayr are investigating their 82nd case.
action
Timo Harbig, coordinator of African development projects, dies of poisoning while driving in an industrial area. A surveillance camera shows that a young African-looking woman has run away from the car. The poison used comes from an African milkweed plant with which the Stasi once experimented. Kurt Reichold, Timo Harbig's grandfather and once a high-ranking Stasi representative in Africa, went into hiding after the end of the GDR era and secretly heads a group of former Stasi employees in Munich. A money and drug courier exposed in Nairobi testifies that Timo Harbig coordinates an East African drug ring in Africa, for which inconspicuous but financially blackmailed Germans work as couriers. Batic and Leitmayr interrogate the group of these suspects. Their head is obviously Heiner Hersfeld, a former employee in the Stasi poison laboratory. The commissioners release the group, but follow Hersfeld, who goes to the "Stasi" headquarters disguised as a consulting company. While Hersfeld confronts Reichold, the commissioners storm the building with an MEK. Hersfeld admits that he poisoned Timo Harbig because he did not let him and his group get out of the drug trade. Then Reichold shoots himself, whereupon Hersfeld suffers a heart attack.
background
The film was shot from October 16, 2018 to November 19, 2018 in Munich and the surrounding area as well as in Kenya and Mauritius (exterior shots).

Reviews
In the NZZ , Tobias Sedlmaier said he was not very convinced of the film. It is "ambitious, but quite constructed". “The urgency of the topic” “hardly ever gets through” because the film is too seldom concerned with “the characters and their motivations”. The film aims high, but stays on the ground too long, and only in the last third, "with longer, dialogically sharper confessional passages," does the episode "get going."
Christian Buß from Spiegel Online also made a critical assessment of the episode and gave it "four out of ten points" in his review:
“Four out of ten points, despite some original ideas. Director and screenwriter Rupert Henning had already filmed the speculatively exaggerated paranoia "crime scene" about Ebola - in his new Munich episode he also uses risky African clichés and Stasi cuts. Then a couple of episodes " Deutschland 86 ".
