action
Chief Detective Officer Klaus Borowski is quoted to his superior Roland Schladitz, who wants an explanation for the fact that Borowski has chained Walter Scharndorf, a well-known local in the red light scene , naked on the roof of a brothel . The two are friends and Schladitz tells Borowski that they wanted to suspend him, which he gave the decision maker Dr. Kronberg was able to talk, but only under the condition that Borowski a conversation with the company psychologist must lead Frieda Jung.
Former seaman Lars Betz, who now works in a ship equipment shop , is flashed on the highway with a company vehicle. Since he already has major problems with his boss Oliver Nagel, he stops and tries to steal the film from the radar device . This is observed by the motorway policeman Wolfgang Ebert, who tells him to stop and fire a warning shot. However, Betz escapes and just manages to cross the lane in front of an approaching truck. The police officer, however, is hit by an oncoming vehicle and dies a little later. Borowski is called in and wants to question police chief Jens Ziemann. To his astonishment, however, he reports that Ebert had allowed him to visit his girlfriend for a short while while he was on duty in order to clarify private problems. The young policeman is furious about the death of his superior. Betz has meanwhile appeared at his workplace, where Nagel wants to fire him immediately, but his partner Stefan Wächter prevents this.
Meanwhile, Borowski gets a call from his ex-wife, who excitedly reports that their daughter, Carla, has disappeared. Just as he was telling her about the police missing person's point, he saw his daughter approaching, beaming with joy, and broke off the conversation by saying that he was going to take care of it himself without telling his ex-wife that Carla was with him now. She tells the father that she thinks her mother's new partner is "stupid" and that she can't stand her. She wanted to stay with him. However, Borowski wants her to call her mother first and inform her about her whereabouts. Since she refuses, Bernd Wiegand later takes care of it for her, a friend of Borowski who also looks after the child while Borowski is on duty.
In the police station, Jens Ziemann makes serious allegations that he left his colleague Ebert alone. His anger is directed against the stranger, which is why it all happened. An older colleague assures him that they will get him. "And then?" Says Ziemann discouraged. Borowski and his young colleague Alim Zainalow are now asking about the manager in the ship outfitter shop and come across Betz, of all people, who is very scared. He refers them to Stefan Wächter. Borowski shows him the photo from the radar device, which, however, was exposed by Betz's intervention so that the driver's face cannot be seen. Wächter says that the company does not keep a logbook that shows who is using which vehicle and when. The car with this license plate is mostly used by his partner Nagel himself. When the commissioners left, Wächter wanted to know from Betz what he had done again. He recognized him very well by his jacket in the photo. He wants Betz to talk to Nagel and thinks he'll hold up. However, when Betz addresses him, Nagel reacts smugly and condescendingly and threatens the police.
A short time later, Oliver Nagel is found dead, the coroner says it looks like a blunt head trauma. Borowski speaks to Stefan Wächter again and asks him directly who he wants to protect. Wächter admits that he immediately recognized Lars Betz by his jacket in the photo. He also sent him to Oliver Nagel. Accusing himself, he still says that he should have known that his partner would turn him off. During an interrogation, Betz said that yesterday he went to see his son Marlon, who had his birthday. He admits that he was not in the house, just stood outside and looked into the room. Borowski's conversation with Elke Betz shows that her husband, who lived separately, never got over not going to sea anymore. The commissioner notices her bitterness.
There is further trouble because Zainalow spoke with Jens Ziemann about an internal manhunt. The young policeman is obsessed with getting the name of the man he believes to be guilty of the death of his colleague Ebert. Frieda Jung tries to help him by harshly telling him what she thinks of his view of things. Borowski learns from Scharndorf, to whom he apologizes that he wanted to buy the ship chandler shop from Oliver Nagel because it is unique and is often shown on television. He also came to an agreement with Stefan Wächter, who had lent Nagel money to join the company with Betz, but Nagel did not want to give up the business at any price, even though he ran it down through too many private withdrawals. Forensic medicine finds carnauba wax , a cleaning agent ingredient, on Nagel's jacket , whereupon Borowski remembers the cleaning lady cleaning the floor in the store and arranges for a closer examination of the jacket. To Borowski's surprise, Lutz Betz suddenly states that he killed Nagel. The superintendent asks him whether Wächter has spoken to his conscience and what he has promised him if he takes the blame, and tells Wächter to the head that he has served Betz on a silver platter and is shown the door. However, he has the cleaning lady give him the brush of the cleaning machine beforehand. The marks on it and on the victim's jacket are identical. Borowski, who is convinced that Betz did not kill Nagel, tries to get a search warrant for the company, which however fails and causes joy among colleagues who consider Betz guilty of Ebert's death. Borowski sends Elke and Marlon Betz to the detention cell . His plan works and Betz revokes his confession. He says that he drove after Nagel to the company after the speech and heard an argument between the guard and Nagel about the sale of the shop. From a hiding place he saw how the guard had a nail on his collar. Wächter then let go and Nagel just laughed, laughed incredibly mean, then Wächter struck. He doesn't know what exactly he hit with, Nagel then lay on the floor and he thinks Wächter was sorry for his act. He himself panicked and ran away very quickly. He is only telling all this now because Wächter is his friend who has always helped him. Wächter is arrested by Zainalow.
When Betz, accompanied by Borowski and with his wife and child, comes down the stairs of the police building, Jens Ziemann stands in his way with his gun drawn. Frieda Jung intervenes and gets the young policeman to give Borowski his weapon as a sign of his disapproval. Borowski is impressed by the psychologist.

criticism
“Borowski (Axel Milberg) solves his first case in Kiel. Great: a commissioner with rough edges. Conclusion: Successful crime scene maiden voyage. "
"So now Milberg is currently the third NDR commissioner (alongside Robert Atzorn and Maria Furtwängler) to take up his duties, by the way, with a character that he already embodied in the film 'PSI' from the NDR series 'Stahlnetz'. In 'Tatort', screenwriter Orkun Ertener and director Thomas Freundner are now focusing on a penchant for unusual investigative methods and Milberg's delight in tongue-in-cheek humor, alongside plenty of local color, a coherently narrated case and a coherent team. An all-round successful debut! "
“'Väter' (2003) is Axel Milberg's 'Tatort' debut. The actor had the idea for this solitary northern lights. Borowski is not a commissioner for pleasure. He waddles colleagues off, he harbors a deep grudge against women and he doesn't take it too seriously when it comes to service regulations. At the center of the investigation is a former seaman, one who has no control over his life. A bad luck raven who slides into a death. "
