Unforgotten is a television film from the crime series Tatort and was broadcast for the first time on May 20, 2013 in Erste . It is the 874th episode in the series, the 30th case of the Austrian investigator Eisner and the sixth case of the Eisner / Fellner investigative team.

action

Moritz Eisner was seriously injured by a shot in the head while on vacation and was found unconscious in his car in a quarry by Carinthian colleagues. When he regains consciousness in the intensive care unit, he can hardly remember anything. He is only certain that he saw a silver-colored car at the crime scene. However, forensics did not find any evidence of this, as all tire tracks were obliterated by the landing of the rescue helicopter. After his discharge from the hospital, Eisner tries to find out what happened to him that night. Eisner, who suffers from dropouts and speech disorders, is therefore looking for clues in Bad Eisenkappel (Carinthia), although he is still on sick leave. He finds a saleswoman who still remembers that he bought roses and champagne from her and asked her for directions to the Kapplerhütte. When he finally searches the hut, the living space of which has been completely devastated and defaced with right-wing extremist graffiti , fragmentary memories return in Eisner. He also finds his suitcase there.

A little later, the silver-colored car that Eisner remembered was recovered in the lake in the quarry. In its hold lies the shot Maja Jancic-Herzog, with whom Eisner had had a love affair for some time until her death. Maja was a journalist and before her death she worked on a documentary about the Peršmanhof massacre , a massacre of the civilian population towards the end of the Second World War . She researched the whole village and harassed some residents. The investigators also find their laptop in their car, on which this documentation is saved. Among other things, an interview with the last survivor of the terrible act, Jozefa Karnicar, can be seen there. In this she states that one of the perpetrators at the time is still alive today and has not yet been caught. The suspicion therefore falls on the grandson of this perpetrator, who - together with his father - does everything to protect his now demented grandfather. There are also traces of paint from Maja's car on a recently dismantled bumper from the grandson's car that was found in a junkyard. The latter then admits to having followed and rammed Maja that night. However, he just wanted to scare her into breaking off her research.

In the course of the investigation, Fellner falls into his hands with a USB stick on which files are stored about dozens of Alzheimer's patients who were illegally treated with novel drugs in Georgia and who died as part of this treatment. The responsible project manager in this matter is Richard Herzog, the husband of the late Maja. After she confronted him with the allegations, he obtained an alibi with several passports through a fake stay abroad and set out to kill Maja. The Eisner who showed up after the fact was simply “in the wrong place at the wrong time”. Finally, Herzog is arrested in the quarry.

criticism

“So in the end there is still a huge fog in the landscape, but Eisner and Fellner easily play away over a few shallows in the book. [...] Eisner would have to go to rehab, but still investigates. An anarchist who misses a lot of things, very pleasant. "
