action
Ilka Behrens leaves the house with her daughter Mia, she is followed by a stranger in her car. Apparently, she wants to separate from her husband Thomas Behrens. Meanwhile, he also feels persecuted in the city center. Meanwhile, an older woman finds the door of her neighbor Barbara Abramczik standing open. She finds a woman's body in the kitchen of the apartment. Meanwhile, Behrens flees from alleged persecutors and knocks down a man he believes is a persecutor. The young woman in the apartment likely died of a broken neck after the woman fell face down on the stove. Liz Ritschard quickly finds out that the dead woman is not Mrs. Abramczik, but Susanne Straub. Flückiger and Ritschard go to the dead man's husband, who says that Barbara Abramczik is a colleague of his wife. He doesn't know why his wife was in the colleague's apartment, she had left the marital home that morning as normal. He thought she went to work as normal.
Meanwhile, colleagues have found Barbara Abramczik on Tenerife, where she works as an entertainer. Flückiger and Ritschard interview the woman via video conference. Her former colleague watered the flowers for Barbara Abramczik. She testifies that the dead man's husband was very jealous. She believes the dead woman had an affair. The colleagues also determine that shortly before she died, the dead woman was called five times from her husband's number and once from Thomas Behrens' number. Meanwhile, Ilka Behrens has alerted the police because she feels that she is being followed. Flückiger seeks out Ilka Behrens, excitedly telling him that the pursuer is still in the garden. Flückiger, however, can not find anyone. Mrs. Behrens reports on her marital problems. She has told her husband that she would return to Germany and take their daughter with her. Therefore, she can imagine that the persecutor was hired by her husband to put pressure on her. The police were able to secure a photo on Straub's computer that shows Ms. Straub in an intimate pose with Thomas Behrens. The photo shows Mrs. Behrens, who reacted with surprise that she hadn't noticed anything about her husband's affair. Behrens heads the IT department of a Swiss bank. Flückiger and Ritschard visit them. The managing director of the bank says that Behrens has been working for the house for five years, but did not show up for work today.
Meanwhile, Behrens stops a police car and wants to be driven to the presidium. The officers have now determined that his fingerprints are on the dead woman in Ms. Abramczik's apartment and also fiber traces of his clothing from today on the dead person. It is therefore certain that he was in the apartment that morning. But Mr. Straub was also in the apartment and blood from his wife was found on his clothes. So there are two urgent suspects. Government councilor Mattmann, meanwhile, warns Flückiger about his investigations in the bank. Meanwhile, Behrens begs Flückiger to help him, he is glad to be at the police headquarters. Flückiger lets him phone, but the number he dials doesn't exist. Flückiger confronts him with the fact that he is suspected of murder, but Behrens replies that he is in danger and needs protection. When he left the house this morning, Markus Reichlin had checked him out of his bank. He would have threatened him because they knew that he had account details for the bank's offshore customers. The bank would help wealthy customers with tax fraud through opaque company structures in the Cayman Islands. There are also high-ranking personalities among the customers. The account details are in a safe place. Meanwhile, Ritschard interrogates Straub who admits that he followed his wife to Frau Abramczik's apartment and that he also watched Thomas Behrens go into the apartment. Meanwhile, Behrens says to Flückiger that he no longer wants to watch the tax fraud, it is a highly complex system. Meanwhile, the police are evaluating a surveillance video that shows how Behrens beat up his alleged persecutor that morning. However, this was just a harmless customer. Behrens states that he wanted to sell the data to a German tax office in Wuppertal. Meanwhile, Straub testifies that he was angry with his wife over the apparent affair. He went into the apartment and found his wife dead there. He touched the body, Thomas Behrens was also in the apartment. Meanwhile, Flückiger confronts Behrens with the fact that nobody in the tax investigations of North Rhine-Westphalia knows him, but Behrens thinks it is normal for them to deny any contact.
Behrens also states that he hid the CD in Ms. Abramczik's bathroom and that he should have had it back in order to travel to Germany with it. He went to his lover and went to the bathroom to take the CD. While he was taking the CD, he heard screams from his lover. He found his lover dead and noticed a man in the room. Then he ran back to the bathroom, took the CD and fled through the window because the stranger was after him. Straub admits to have been this stranger. However, Behrens says that the persecutor was not Straub, but a different man. Behrens panics when he learns that the interrogation is being recorded and is rampaging. Behrens is then admitted to psychiatry. The forensic psychiatrist is supposed to examine him thoroughly. Mattmann informs Flückiger and Ritschard that the German State Secretary Demand is visiting Switzerland. a. also on the subject of tax evasion.
While Mattmann receives State Secretary Demand, Flückiger and Ritschard analyze the statements by Straub and Behrens, since Straub has testified that he saw Behrens when he ran into the bathroom, but one of them must have been followed by a man other than Straub lying. The two commissioners search the rubbish bins in the city center for Behrens' cell phone and actually find it. When Flückiger calls a number that Behrens recently called, the man hangs up when he realizes that someone else is on the line. Flückiger suspects that this is the man from the tax investigation in North Rhine-Westphalia. The mobile phone photos of Behrens show that he felt he was being followed by all over the world. Flückiger receives a call from Ilka Behrens, her persecutor is back in the garden, according to her. Flückiger drives to the house, when he arrives a stranger races off in an off-road vehicle, Flückiger cannot stop the car, but he can write down the license plate number. Flückiger talks to Ms. Behrens, who says that her husband is prone to conspiracy theories and that his statements should be treated with caution. She and her husband have grown apart, so that she cannot understand what is going on inside him. Flückiger stayed in the Behrens family's living room because Ms. Behrens did not feel safe.
The next morning a nurse in the psychiatric hospital finds Thomas Behrens hanged in his cell, everything points to suicide. Flückiger, however, is certain that Behrens was executed. In the meantime, the owner of the vehicle can be found in front of the house of the Behrens family from the previous evening; it is registered with the Gerber detective agency. Flückiger now feels himself observed. Gerber is summoned and initially blocks Flückiger's questions. When Flückiger confronts him with the fact that this case is about murder, Gerber finally testifies that it was Thomas Behrens' employer who hired him to observe Behrens and his family. On the way to the bank, who worked for Behrens, Flückiger believes he recognized one of Thomas Behrens' alleged pursuers, who he filmed with his cell phone camera. However, the man can flee when Flückiger tries to confront him. Behren's former boss at the bank says that Behrend actually stole account data and that he has known about it for two days, which is why they wanted the data back. The bank informed the customers whose data was stolen. He went to Behrend because he hoped that an agreement could be reached. He denies the threats against Behrend that he spoke of. He then instructed the detective to “put a little pressure” on Behrend.
Flückiger seeks out the managing director of the bank, Sonderer, who is in a meeting with Demand and Mattmann, and pulls him out of the meeting. Mattmann tries to stop Flückiger. Sonderer justifies himself for hiding the account data theft and says that he should have done anything to get the data back. Flückiger suspects that Behrens deposited the CD with the account details with a dentist friend whose practice he must have passed when he was fleeing from the stranger. Flückiger and Ritschard go to the practice, the dentist actually has the CD, Behrens panicked and deposited it with him the day before, the dentist should keep it. When he is about to hand the CD over to Flückiger, an armed and masked man comes in with the office assistant as a hostage and takes the CD. Flückiger pursues the masked man, who brings Flückiger into his power, his colleague Ritschard can save her colleague with a targeted shot. The gunman survived seriously injured, the identity of the man is unknown. He's got a lot of tattoos that could be the only clue about his origins. Flückiger visits Straub again, who is still in custody. He admits that he neither saw Behrens in the apartment nor followed him, but he cannot identify the stranger in photos. Flückiger noticed a fresh burn on the man on the occasion of one of the photos. Since Ms. Straub was pressed on her gas stove when she died, this could be an indication of the man's culprit. A short scene shows a conversation between the head of the bank and the head of compliance. They have agreed on "one measure". When Flückiger drives to the hospital, because the man should now be able to be questioned, he can only watch the resuscitation measures and the man's death. During the resuscitation, a bearded male nurse can be seen injecting adrenaline (possibly something else) into the patient at the behest of the patient. Meanwhile, Ritschard informs Flückiger that they have found account data with amounts in the millions on the CD, which are administered in the Cayman Islands. The man who keeps appearing behind the trusts is that of the German State Secretary Demand.
Flückiger believes he has reached his goal, but Ritschard has to inform him that these constructs are legal under Swiss law and that the prosecutor sees no reason to investigate Demand for murder. Since the bank owns the data, nothing will be made public. Flückiger calls Mattmann and asks him whether he had talked to Demand about Thomas Behrens, to which Demand said yes. Demand is sitting next to him in the car. He also told him that Behrens was in a psychiatric ward. Flückiger explains Mattmann about Demand.
The bearded nurse can be seen packing his doctor's gown and other personal items from the locker into his bag in the hospital and leaving. The viewer is thus indicated that he may have been paid by the bank to inject a lethal drug.
criticism
“The majority of the previous“ Tatort ”contributions from Switzerland were only worth seeing to a limited extent; The only real enrichment was the carnival thriller "Dirty Thursday". Thanks to an exemplary combination of music and montage, "Traced" continues this quality. The story is also significantly more interesting than the plots of the previous episodes. Another attraction is the allusions to the sometimes clouded relationship between Germany and Switzerland. The often uninteresting actors remain a notorious weakness. "
