Lannert - 22 - Der Mann, der lügt
First of all, it's just a short survey. Inspectors Thorsten Lannert and Sebastian Bootz are investigating the murder of the investment advisor Uwe Berger and want to know from Jakob Gregorowicz why his name was in the murdered man's appointment book. A mistake, Jakob replies, he didn't have an appointment with the victim and thinks that's the end of the matter. But soon the commissioners can prove to him that his testimony was incomplete. They keep digging deeper and also talk to his wife Katharina. Jakob thinks he can provide plausible explanations, but new discrepancies arise. It doesn't help that he tries to remove traces. On the contrary, the commissioners keep asking him to come to the presidium for an interview because they find new clues.
Soon Katharina is also asking questions, she has doubts about her husband's statements. Jacob gets into trouble because so many things come to light that he would have preferred to keep hidden. He becomes more and more insecure, the inspectors more and more insistent. When Jakob has to admit that he did business with Uwe Berger at a loss, he becomes the main suspect. Thorsten Lannert and Sebastian Bootz are celebrating their birthdays. For ten years they have been deployed at crime scenes in Stuttgart, have solved murder cases, put people behind bars or proven their innocence, prevented acts of violence or were unable to prevent them, gained deep insights into injured souls or criminal brains and have done so on one or two occasions personally badly affected.
For the tenth birthday, there is a case in "Tatort – The Man Who Lies" that is told from an unusual perspective and in which the viewers experience the inspectors solely through the eyes of a suspect. The authors Sönke Lars Neuwohner and Martin Eigler talk about what it means for a person when all their statements are called into question and treated as potential lies and what chain reactions evasions can lead to. Cleverly, precisely and intensively, Martin Eigler stages how a witness becomes a suspect and investigators don't let go. Because despite all the understanding for the suspect played by Manuel Rubey, the question is always present as to whether his little lies aren't actually covering up a serious crime

Wild Cards
Wild Cards follows the unlikely duo of a gruff, sardonic cop and a spirited, clever con woman. Ellis, a demoted detective, has unfortunately spent the last year on the maritime unit, while Max has been living a transient life elaborately scamming everyone she meets. But when Max gets arrested and ends up helping Ellis solve a local crime, the two are offered the opportunity to redeem themselves, with Ellis going back to detective and Max staying out of jail. The catch? They have to work together, with each using their unique skills to solve crimes. For Ellis, that means hard-boiled shoe leather police work; for Max, it means accents, schemes and generally befriending everyone in sight, while driving Ellis absolutely nuts. Against the backdrop of beautiful Vancouver — with all its unique, charming, and even contradictory neighbourhoods and subcultures — the two will have to learn what it means to trust another person and maybe actually become partners.
