Deadly Mission is the 733rd episode of the crime series Tatort and a SWR production in collaboration with Maran Film . It was first broadcast on May 10, 2009 on First German Television . In this episode, the Ludwigshafen investigator duo Lena Odenthal ( Ulrike Folkerts ) and Mario Kopper ( Andreas Hoppe ) have to solve a murder in which the SEK is involved.
action
The SEK has to go to an operation where a drug deal comes to an end. During the exchange of fire, one of the perpetrators is injured but is able to escape, the second is arrested. Odenthal and Kopper are ordered to the port because one of the emergency services was shot. Kopper notices that something cannot be right about the course of the crime. Meanwhile, the head of operations of the SEK, Thomas Renner, made Karsten Engelhard accused that he was to blame for the death of Andy because he did not shoot, although the fugitive was right in front of him.
The investigators find out the name of his accomplice from the arrested Roman Fritsch and look for him at a well-known drug supply point. You can actually find Florian Weigold, but he fled to the container port. Since he was shot, Florian seeks help from his father, whom he has not seen for over two years. He confesses to him that he has robbed a gas station and is desperate to withdraw. Peter Weigold puts him in an old slaughterhouse and locks him up there. The investigators go to Weigold and inform him that his son shot a SEK officer and that they are looking for him. They look around Florian's room and find a photo with him and a school friend whom they recognize as the SEK officer Karsten Engelhard. They confront Engelhard with the photo and he admits that he just couldn't shoot his school friend.
The forensic scientist finds out that the shot that Karsten Engelhard fired during the pursuit of Florian came from a different type of weapon than the SEK people actually use. So it is possible that a second weapon was used. Odenthal gets into trouble from the head of the SEK because she is also investigating his people. But she doesn't care, she drives to Andy Ziegler's widow and finds out some details. She talks about incipient problems between her and her husband, he has somehow changed for six months and has become more and more secretive. Odenthal asks Thomas Renner about the changes at Ziegler and whether that could have something to do with the operations. He says that Ziegler shot a man while on duty in self-defense and that it took him quite a bit.
Kopper leads a trail into a trendy bar where there was recently a fight with a SEK official. He questions Sandro, who was being beaten, and it turns out that he is the friend of Christian Howald, one of the SEK officers, who beat him up because he hugged him too publicly. So Howald's second weapon was analyzed as a possible murder weapon, because it has the right caliber. That could mean that a homosexual SEK officer can get into quite a bit of trouble in such an area. In such a male society you cannot come out as homosexual. Ziegler had seen the deep embrace and for fear that he might betray Howald, he might have killed him.
The SEK people are looking for the murderer on their colleague too slowly, so they go to the novel, which has meanwhile been released from custody, and want to squeeze out of him where Florian is. They threaten him massively, so he promises to let them know as soon as Florian gets in touch. Since Florian cannot get through his self-imposed " cold withdrawal ", he calls Roman that he absolutely needs drugs. So Roman notifies the SEK people and they go straight to the old slaughterhouse. Kopper and Odenthal meanwhile go to Weigold to tell him that his son is suicidal, and so he wants to bring them to his son. When the investigators arrive at the slaughterhouse, the SEK officers are already there and have already stretched Florian to the ground. Odenthal and Kopper just join in when Renner puts the murder weapon in his hand and they arrest him. Shortly before, Odenthal and Kopper had learned a motive for shooting Ziegler from a psychologist. There the SEK man was receiving psychological treatment because he could no longer cope with his service. He wanted to leave the troop, but Thomas Renner, who was proud of "his big family", could not allow that and shot Ziegler when the opportunity arose during the last mission.

criticism
“Director Bodo Fürneisen strikingly staged the detoxification of the fleeing junkie Florian (makes a great change from diabolical addict to trembling misery: Mirco Kreibich). Like a sacrificial animal on the slaughterhouse, it vegetates in a former slaughterhouse with neon lights and white tiles, a place in which horror creeps away even without cold withdrawal. "
“A little vigilante justice, a little love for men and when nothing worked, the inspector got heart problems. The action seemed wooden, the dialogue phrases heard 1000 times were hardly bearable and realistically depicting withdrawal is always a tightrope. There must also be worse “crime scenes” so that the good ones can be recognized as such. But one would have liked a little more care. Fürneisen, a man for intimate crime thriller and solid TV drama, was the wrong man in the wrong place. This action-intensive, weak script could only have been saved by a genre-aesthetic director. "
"Quite okay, but with little sophistication"
Awards
Mirco Kreibich received the Günter Strack TV Prize for his role as a drug-addicted murder suspect in Tödlicher Einsatz 2010 .
