Tatort - Season 44 / Year 2013

Public prosecutor Wolfgang von Prinz (Christian Taschen) is alarmed: In his neighborhood, Ingo Broich (Torsten Peter Schnick), the managing director of the cleaning company of the same name, was stabbed to death. Everyone knows each other in the posh district of Cologne. But his wife, the lawyer Beate von Prinz (Jeanette Hein), also has close business ties to the father of the murder victim. Of course, that aroused the interest of inspectors Ballauf and Schenk. Especially since the relationship between the family patriarch Jakob Broich (Hans Peter Hallwachs) and his son was not the best: Instead of taking care of the successful company after his father's stroke, Ingo preferred to spend the nights in his poker game...

Nine-year-old Benjamin Steiner (Mika Seidel) has been kidnapped from his music teacher's apartment. The two commissioners Till Ritter (Dominic Raacke) and Felix Stark (Boris Aljinovic) are used by operations manager Baumann (Rainer Sellien) as contact persons for the parents. Linda and Hermann Steiner (Lena Stolze and Horst Günter Marx) spend anxious hours full of fear until the kidnapper finally reports: A DVD shows the kidnapped child in good health. The ransom is to be handed over in two parts. Linda Steiner hands over the first 500,000 euros under strict police surveillance at Alexanderplatz. After that, the kidnapper makes no move to leave the place. Instead, he starts giving away the money to passers-by and eventually allows himself to be arrested without any problems.
He would like to tell his parents personally about his second ransom demand – but he stubbornly keeps quiet about Benjamin's whereabouts. As it turns out, the kidnapper is Uwe Braun (Edgar Selge) - a man without a permanent address, without a bank account, without contact with his family and therefore without any significant leads for the officials. When the parents finally meet their son's kidnapper in the interrogation room, it turns out that bank manager Hermann Steiner knows the man. He just can't immediately remember from what specific context. Uwe Braun, on the other hand, obviously knows that very well - and makes his second ransom demand: ten million euros, he wants to receive the money in the presidium.
It becomes clear to Ritter and Stark that Braun sees himself as morally right - what drives the persistent, silent man to commit this insane act? Time is running out for the inspectors, and Benjamin's drinking water is running out. Ritter and Stark get in touch with Braun's son Michael (Jakob Walser) - will he be able to talk sense into his father? 

Roza Lanczeck, the girlfriend of company boss Frank Brenner, dies in a car accident. The evidence is clear: the car's brake seals were manipulated. So murder. When Lena Odenthal and Mario Kopper start their investigation, they only hear endearing things about Roza Lanczeck, even Katharina Brenner, the ex-wife of Roza's partner Frank Brenner, liked the young woman. Pregnant Roza and Frank wanted to get married and start a new life elsewhere. But the evidence speaks a different language: Frank Brenner only worked on Roza's car the day before the fatal car accident and Katharina is incriminating her ex-husband: Frank didn't want to marry at all, shied away from the responsibility for a child and wanted to get rid of Roza, she persistently puts it on record .
Frank Brenner, on the other hand, says nothing at all, mysteriously refusing to defend himself even after his arrest. The matter seems clear, but Lena cannot believe that Frank Brenner's love was only fake. She continues to investigate.

The new Saarbrücken commissioner (Devid Striesow) takes care of an orphaned child in a hardware store.
The little Arabic girl doesn't speak a word of German, but Stellbrink quickly gains her trust. Melinda, that's the name of the little girl, takes the inspector to a nearby cheap hotel. At first everything looks as if the girl's relatives live here, but then Stellbrink realizes: Something is wrong here. He can free the girl from the room and they both flee, because three armed men are chasing after them. But why? Stellbrink's colleagues Lisa Marx (Elisabeth Brück) and Horst Jordan (Hartmut Volle) and above all public prosecutor Nicole Dubois (Sandra Steinbach), who quickly takes a very critical view of Stellbrink's unorthodox methods, also ask themselves this.

Lucerne in February, at carnival time. The whole night is celebrated exuberantly. Only Reto Flückiger (Stefan Gubser) wants one thing above all: to leave the noisy city as quickly as possible. But nothing will come of it. Franz Schäublin (Peter Hottinger), head of the Lucerne building committee and active member of the guild of the guards on Pilatus, is stabbed to death in the early morning of Dirty Thursday in the middle of the exuberant carnival hustle and bustle. Witnesses saw a figure dressed as Death run away from the scene. Schäublin was considered a respected and honorable citizen of the city. However, initial investigations by the police show that Schäublin apparently had two faces. Now his escapades, which he was able to hide perfectly during his lifetime, threaten to come to light.
Did Schäublin allow himself to be blackmailed in order to continue to keep his extravagant lifestyle secret? In search of the culprit, Reto Flückiger and Liz Ritschard (Delia Mayer) go into the hustle and bustle of the city trembling with carnival fever.

Highest alert level around the Palais Liechtenstein in Vienna at the international conference of the United Nations. But even these strict precautionary measures cannot prevent the assassination attempt on the arrival of Marcus Sherman (Peter Gilbert Cotton), when the American conference leader and his security people drive up in a black limousine. The bomb was hidden in the car of Kásim Bagdadi (Samy Hassan), an Austrian of Iraqi origin, who was supposed to speak to numerous diplomats and heads of state from all over the world as a representative of the Internet community "Comet". While Marcus Sherman escaped unharmed, Kásim Bagdadi and a policeman died in the massive explosion.
The first signs point to a suicide attack with an Islamist background when Moritz Eisner (Harald Krassnitzer) and his assistant Bibi Fellner (Adele Neuhauser) from the Federal Criminal Police Office start the investigation. However, in this case, which attracted a great deal of attention, both of them had to submit to the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution and Combating Terrorism (BVT), which was also involved in a joint "task force". The head of this small special unit, Major Melanie Warig (Susanne Wuest), lets the chief inspector feel this quickly and unmistakably, which makes Moritz Eisner angry. From the very first moment, a strong rivalry breaks out, which is intensively fueled by Eisner's boss Ernst Rauter (Hubert Kramar). Because he has a considerable dislike for his colleague Mag.
Fred Michalski (Alfred Dorfer) from the BVT and his lofty ambitions. Was Kásim Baghdadi a terrorist who had prepared this attack as a loner and unnoticed by everyone? Or was he supported by an organization? His mother Nawal Bagdadi (Proschat Madani), who works as a department head at the UN, angrily rejects these suspicions. And Eisner's daughter Claudia (Tanja Raunig), who knew Kásim personally, begs her father: "He was never a terrorist in his life.

A committee of judges is called to Bremen to rule on a controversial deepening of the Weser. A sex video of one of Germany's top judges, Konrad Bauser (Christoph M. Ohrt), appears. The underage Mel (Jella Haase) and her boyfriend Ole (Sven Gielnik) blackmail him with it. Shortly thereafter, Ole is dead. Inga Lürsen (Sabine Postel) and Stedefreund (Oliver Mommsen) take up the investigation and it doesn't take long for Stedefreund to find Mel. The girl tells Lürsen and Stedefreund about Konrad Bauser, who, however, has an alibi. At the same time, Lürsen and Stedefreund are following another lead: could it be that Bauser was threatened not only by Mel and Ole but also from a completely different side?

The divorced police officer Nick Tschiller (Til Schweiger) has previously worked as an undercover investigator at the LKA in Frankfurt and a member of a SEK. In order to look after his 15-year-old daughter Lenny (Luna Schweiger) more intensively, he moves to the pubescent girl in Hamburg because his ex-wife Isabella (Stefanie Stappenbeck) wants to devote more time to her own career again. During his first assignment for the Hamburg LKA, the idiosyncratic investigator and his colleague Yalcin Gümer (Fahri Yardim) stab a wasp's nest during a routine home inspection. The apartment turns out to be a hiding place for underage prostitutes whose pimps are suddenly at the door.
A brutal shootout ensues, in which three members of the dreaded Astan clan are killed, with which the Hamburg police have apparently made a kind of neighborhood peace deal. The newcomer is thus immediately targeted by their own ranks. He has to face an internal investigation and justify himself to prosecutor Hanna Lennerz (Edita Malovcic), who is investigating him. Did Nick actually kill in self-defense? What did his former VE partner Max Brenner (Mark Waschke) have to do at the crime scene and what kind of strange game is Brenner's girlfriend Sandra (Marvie Hörbiger) playing? Tschiller is observed with great distrust by his new colleagues, above all by his superior Holger Petretti (Tim Wilde) and his colleague Ines Kallwey (Britta Hammelstein).
Only Yalcin Gümer, who was taken to the hospital with a gunshot wound, supports his new partner from the hospital bed. Tschiller hides Tereza (Nicole Mercedes Müller), one of the young forced prostitutes, in Yalcin's apartment on his own initiative, as he fears that corrupt colleagues could deliver her to the knife. At the same time, he hopes that she will put him on the trail of the human traffickers and his former partner, Brenner. But apparently there really is a leak somewhere, because the gangsters always manage to track down the young girl. Single-handedly, Nick takes up the fight against the pimp clan, who apparently have the Hamburg neighborhood firmly under control with bribes, fear and violence.
Firat Astan (Erdal Yildiz), head of the human trafficking mafia, is in custody on suspicion of tax fraud and money laundering. But the power of the clan, which the Hamburg authorities are allowing, is unbroken - the witnesses of the public prosecutor's office are dropping like flies for inexplicable reasons. When Yalcin finally finds out Brenner's whereabouts, Nick seems to be taking a big step forward. He has no idea that he himself has long since been targeted by the clan...

Drugs were obviously involved in the rendezvous at the section table... Or does the case have a political background? According to curator Jürgen Martin (Tonio Arrango), the artist and her team were being monitored by the Chinese secret service...

Rents are rising in Munich. It's not just in the traditional immigrant district of Westend that people are groaning under the ongoing beauty renovations. Detective Chief Inspector Franz Leitmayr seeks temporary refuge here – there was water damage in his apartment. The former circus princess "Calamity Jane", Magda Holzer, proudly resides in her old age in her villa on the banks of the Isar in Munich Pullach. She is served by the housekeeper Rosl and the loyal Croatian Ante. Magda's son Florian, who has been reported missing, is found in the excavation of a building pit at night. Is her little beloved son Peter to blame for his death? After all, both brothers had a relationship with the beautiful Liz, who also lives in the Pullach villa. Liz is an event manager with excellent contacts to the Munich city administration.
Corruption is alien to Liz's eyes. Munich's chief inspector Ivo Batic suspects a robbery, he investigates the criminal scene in the Westend and learns about a "slut" from the old days.

In a fast-paced chase, the Erfurt investigative duo, Chief Inspector Henry Funck and Chief Inspector Maik Schaffert, are able to arrest Roman Darschner, who is suspected of having murdered multiple women. However, one woman seems to have fallen victim to the murderer before he was caught: the beautiful student Anna Siebert, 24, was found dead on the Gera. Together with the inexperienced police intern Johanna Grewel, who was literally thrown under their noses by their boss, detective director Petra "Fritze" Fritzenberger, the inspectors set off to the scene of the crime. The first investigations indicate that Anna, like the other women, was tortured and killed.
But why didn't Darschner completely undress his victim this time? Should he have been disturbed? Darschner himself denies any involvement in any of the murders. The search of Anna's small student room paints an unusual picture of the dead: Anna Siebert not only had expensive clothes, she was also apparently preparing to move into a large, new rental apartment. Lisa Kranz and Valerie Bultmann, two acquaintances from Anna's environment, also describe the dead woman as a person who used others for his own purposes.
Where did a student get so much money from? A rich friend, a sugar daddy? Was Anna really the last woman to be killed by Roman Darschner? Or was she the victim of another violent crime? These are just some of the questions that lead the young inspectors and their intern deeper and deeper into today's student milieu during their investigations. In the end, an exciting jigsaw puzzle of injured love, drugs, violence emerges - and the question of whether another fragile life can be saved in time?

16-year-old high school student Nadine Petzokat is dragged dead from Lake Phoenix. The victim drowned, but there are also signs of violence. She appears to have been raped before her death. The dead woman is dressed conspicuously expensively, which - as it turns out - does not fit her social background, since she comes from a humble background. There are also tensions in Nadine's family; Martina Bönisch learns from Nadine's mother Karin Petzokat that she has been leading her own life for a long time and is trying to distance herself from her origins. Nadine's best friend Julia Nowak tells the investigators that the two of them celebrated their birthdays with friends in a posh club the night before. Nadine stayed when Julia went home.
During the autopsy, Jonas Zander determined that there were around two hours between the rape and death. Could it have been two perpetrators? Meanwhile, the investigators view Nadine's cell phone videos. The films highlight the friendship between the two girls, their dreams and their search for identity. They also lead the investigators to the well-heeled clique that celebrated that evening at Club Century: prosecutor's son Lars von Hesseling, club owner Konstantin Prinz, Meike Götz, Oliver Pösko and Stefanie Katschek. In the course of further investigations, Tarek Abboubi, a previously convicted ex-boyfriend, is also targeted by the inspectors. Nadine had broken up with Tarek. Could it be an act of revenge? Konstantin König also confirms that there was trouble with Tarek that evening.
Now Nadine's father, Heinz Petzokat, is getting involved in the investigation. She was his everything. Oddly enough, during the night he had received a photo of his dapper daughter sent to his mobile phone and had tried to reach her several times without success. The club's surveillance video shows Petzokat waiting for them there in the car for hours later that night. Then Petzokat beats Tarek to the hospital. Meanwhile, Nora goes undercover with friends at the club to find out more. Does the solution to the case lie in the relationships between the friends?

Your second case leads the NDR "Tatort" commissioners Thorsten Falke and Katharina Lorenz to the North Sea island of Langeoog in an unofficial capacity. A brutal murder shakes the idyll of the small island: a dead woman in the dunes, next to her a disturbed, bloodied teenager. Florian is Mimi's younger brother, who moved to her East Frisian homeland together with Falke's old friend and ex-colleague Jan Katz and their baby. Falke, who actually only wanted to relax on the island for a few days, manages to talk to the confused boy at the crime scene. Is Florian the perpetrator or the victim? The case is clear for the responsible colleagues of the Aurich murder commission and its head Christine Brandner - Florian's memory gaps are only a protective claim. But Thorsten Falke sees it differently.
Against all service regulations and resistance from local colleagues, Falke and his colleague Katharina Lorenz, who had been called in from Hamburg, are investigating on their own in a different direction... 

The social worker Andreas Haber is found murdered in the Stuttgart children and youth center Klaus' Haus. The investigations of the inspectors Lannert (Richy Müller) and Bootz (Felix Klare) are difficult, because there are many conceivable courses of action - and too many lies. The dead man's colleague, Kathi Dorst (Maryam Zaree), and his supervisor Sven Vogel (Tobias Oertel) are not very cooperative. And the financier and sponsor of Klaus' house, the industrial heir Frank Schöllhammer (Patrick Schöllemann), is also silent. A first suspicion falls on 13-year-old Sarah Baumbach (Ruby O. Fee), who was a constant guest in the youth center and lives with her sister Jeanette (Britta Hammelstein) with her macho friend Ronald (Antonio Wannek) Prager.
But what reason should the precocious girl have had to murder Andreas Haber? Schöllhammer is also suspicious. Because although the youth center is financed by the Schöllhammer Foundation, there is a lack of money everywhere - the payments seem to have stopped. The case takes a surprising turn when Sarah confesses to killing Andreas Haber. Although the existing traces match their statement, Lannert and Bootz remain skeptical. And while Sebastian Bootz can hardly reconcile his investigations with his family obligations, Thorsten Lannert suddenly finds his life in danger. 

"Guardian, there is something to celebrate! My tumor is gone! Come to my place in Fulda, I'll invite you to the circus." Magda Wächter, still a bit skeptical, accepts the invitation of her LKA boss Felix Murot, and together they visit a performance in the "Raxon" circus. In the middle of the performance, a woman in the audience stands up and screams hysterically at someone in the arena: "That's him! Don't let him escape!" The lights go out, the woman is gone, and the pianist of the circus band injures his hand in the dark. The next morning, Wächter and Murot learn that the woman has been missing since yesterday evening. Murot senses injustice, pays the circus another visit and – undercover as a pianist – manages to get hired in the circus band.
But not all circus people approve of his presence. After the injured pianist hinted in a conversation that he had made an interesting observation, he disappeared without a trace shortly afterwards. Little by little, Murot comes across a deadly secret from the past of an artist – in addition to Ulrich Tukur and Barbara Philipp, Uwe Bohm, Dorka Gryllus, Zazie de Paris, Josef Ostendorf, Jevgenij Sitochin, Norbert Heisterkamp, Albert Kitzl, Leonard Carow and Katharina also play Matz and Victoria Trauttmansdorff, and the artist Lijana Sperlich-Frank from the "Carl Busch" circus can also be seen in another role. The circus band is played by the musicians Kalle Mews, Günter Märtens and Ulrich Mayer, known as Ulrich Tukur's backing band "The Rhythm Boys". Carl-Friedrich Koschnik was behind the camera.

Albert A. Anast is the face of a new controversial reality show. He didn't show up for his own party. The "Star" has been mysteriously missing for three days. Should one of the viewers who remained anonymous have fulfilled his death threat against the entertainer? Inspectors Ivo Batic and Franz Leitmayr enter the cynical world of an internet broadcaster whose success lies in ruthlessly and in the most despicable way embarrassing people. The makers don't even shy away from falsifying their contributions. There is hardly anyone who would not have a reason to seek Albert A. Anast's life. 

On his first day of work in Weimar, detective inspector Lessing is greeted more enthusiastically than he would have expected from this dreamy small town. He gets caught up in a large-scale police operation. A crazy blackmailer has holed up in the town hall with the pregnant commissioner Kira Dorn. Lessing's new boss, Kurt Stich, attempts to negotiate to save Kira's life. Without hesitation, Lessing intervenes. He manages to overpower the kidnapper. But he has no time to catch his breath and settle in: the Weimar sausage queen Brigitte Hoppe is missing. Their butchery is famous for the "Fette Hoppe", the best bratwurst in Thuringia. Kira Dorn and Lessing find evidence that Ms. Hoppe was the victim of a violent crime.
There are suspectsa lot, because the missing person is rich and known to be cold-hearted. Her son Sigmar is also targeted by the investigators - and with him his secret girlfriend Nadine Reuter, who is already a widow twice in her early 30s. Did the femme fatale Nadine get her lover to kill his own mother for greed? Mrs. Olm, the head of the regulatory office, also seems to play an opaque role. Or is the horse-drawn carriage Caspar Bogdanski, who was driven to ruin by Brigitte Hoppe, the culprit? A call from a stranger takes a surprising turn: Brigitte Hoppe has been kidnapped. When the money delivery fails, the commissioners have doubts. They believe more and more that Brigitte Hoppe was murdered and that the perpetrator is demanding ransom for a corpse.

The geriatric nurse Sabrina Dobisch witnesses a traffic accident and bravely tries to save the life of the young pedestrian Christian van Meeren. She then accuses the driver Doris Ackermann of premeditated murder. While Sabrina is celebrated as a courageous rescuer and enjoys public attention, Inspector Borowski remains skeptical: apart from the testimony, nothing indicates a capital crime until his colleague Sarah Brandt finds a gun in Doris Ackermann's glove compartment. Is there a connection between Christian van Meeren and Doris Ackermann? And what role does the piano teacher André Rosenthal play, who often spent time near the dead man?
