Tatort - Season 42 / Year 2011

Bettina Schnell from Ludwigshafen is about to take her final exams at the police academy when she is murdered. The young woman was known to her trainers as a particularly capable and ambitious candidate, as did the head of the school, Robert Brandstetter, who deeply regrets Bettina's death, especially since she was a friend of his son Torben. For Lena, meeting Brandstetter is a reunion, in her own training he was one of her mentors. However, the committed lecturer does not seem to have noticed that Bettina undertook independent investigations in her local neighborhood in her free time and in doing so made herself anything but popular. Lena and Kopper find evidence that points to a flourishing anabolic steroid trade in the vicinity of a fitness studio.
While they are still wondering whether the murder has anything to do with Bettina's investigations, the police students Torben and Heiner decide to take matters into their own hands... Bettina Schnell's body is found in a field near the Bayreuth settlement in Ludwigshafen found. Bettina grew up in this area, but currently lived mainly in the Hahn police academy because of her education. There Lena begins her investigations, while Kopper researches Bettina's last operation against the petty criminal Hasan Kiser. The police academy is familiar territory for Lena: she herself was trained in Hahn. Your former lecturer Robert Brandstetter is now head of the school, his son Torben was engaged to Bettina Schnell.
Brandstetter shows his great appreciation for Lena, but that is of little use to his son, who has withdrawn completely into his grief. The picture that Lena and Kopper get from their investigations of Bettina is ambiguous. Bettina Schnell was ambitious, determined to make something of herself and her life - not a matter of course in the milieu from which she came. She also encouraged her little sister Svenja and tried to give her a hold. In the police academy, the determined Bettina didn't have many friends besides her fiancé Torben, his buddy Heiner Struck and her roommate Sabine Erler.
Lena and Kopper realize that Bettina could also be overzealous and was rather ruthless towards people from her neighborhood when they reconstruct what the young policewoman was last busy with. She used her knowledge of the settlement to investigate old acquaintances on her own. So she observed Malte Boller's gym and hadn't accidentally caught Boller's buddy Hasan Kiser with a gun during a traffic stop. From Bettina's notes and photos, the inspectors conclude that the young woman believed she was on the trail of a booming anabolic steroids trade in the settlement. However, she hadn't been able to provide the ultimate proof, so the narcotics squad didn't take her tips into account. Questioned by Lena and Kopper, Malte Boller rejects all suspicions as unfounded.
But he and his boys get nervous and make mistakes, so Lena and Kopper stick to Boller's secret deals. While the suspicions in the direction of Malte Boller intensify, Lena is irritated. She cannot imagine why Robert Brandstetter didn't tell her anything about Bettina's investigations and a complaint by the drug squad against the police student. In any case, she increasingly has the impression that Brandstetter, despite his well-meaning façade, is more of a hindrance than a support to investigations at the police academy. At the same time, they are increasingly coming into focus. Peter Becker's trace analysis showed that Bettina was only brought to the settlement after her death - she was killed in a parking lot very close to the police academy.
So far, Lena has been of the opinion that Torben Brandstetter and Heiner Struck's nerves are so thin because they mourn the loss of a classmate. But what if the two are involved in the anabolic steroid trade and it was they who warned Bettina's opponents in good time about their observations? But when Lena and Kopper want to interrogate the police students again, the whole class is ordered to work..

This case made headlines: The young management consultant Carsten Moll was murdered in the Cologne "Abendblatt". Someone threw him over a parapet in the publishing house into the abyss. Just a few hours earlier, the victim had had an argument with the head of the publishing house, Manfred Peters. He openly admits that he threw Moll out of the factory because his checks caused unrest among the workforce. The publisher of the "Abendblatt" is about to merge. There is talk of job cuts. But is the culprit really to be found among the employees? Inspectors Ballauf and Schenk are investigating in all directions. Apparently, the top management of the publishing house does not agree on all points about the media company's new course.
The fact that the up-and-coming managing director Lars Fraude brought the management consultants into the company was initially met with skepticism by the publishing manager Ludwig Brinkmann and the HR manager Raimund Kahn. Alex and Valentin, the two colleagues of the murdered management consultant, are noticeably reticent. But the inspectors learn that there were obviously tensions between Moll and his ambitious team leader Rita Landmann...

A beauty farm on Lake Constance, across the German-Swiss border. The world of make-believe takes a hit when the clinic's owner is found dead in a planetarium.

Together with her Swiss counterpart, Klara Blum dives into a world of disappointed friendship, distrust and betrayal.

The young Viktoria Schneider is shot dead during an art performance. It quickly becomes clear to the chief inspectors Kappl (Maximilian Brückner) and Deininger (Georg Weber) that only a trained marksman could have committed this murder, because the shot was fired from a long distance. Since the performance also critically dealt with the engagement of the Bundeswehr in Afghanistan, the suspicion soon falls on a group of four traumatized soldiers. A clear indication are videos of their therapy sessions, which theartist used for her performance. So each of the four has a motive. Nevertheless, the investigation is difficult because the soldiers form a strong camaraderie and give each other alibis. For Kappl and Deininger, the question arises as to how they can crack this tight-knit group.
And last but not least, the investigations in the soldiers' milieu also sparked controversy between the commissioners. Because they have very different views on the deployment of the Bundeswehr in Afghanistan.

The married couple Frank and Yvonne Berthold are found murdered in a high-rise settlement in Bremen. Her nine-year-old daughter witnessed the crime without being noticed by the perpetrator. Therefore, she is in great danger of becoming the next victim. The child is severely traumatized and has not spoken a single word since she was found. Inga Lürsen is the only one who manages to gradually gain her trust. The child escapes from the hospital, back to the family's apartment, and doesn't want to leave there again at any price. Chief inspector Inga Lürsen, who knows that there is nowhere to give the child 100% protection as long as the perpetrator is at large, decides with a heavy heart to pretend to be the little one's aunt and to stay in the apartment with her.
The victim's work colleagues and their wives also live in the same house. Inga feels more and more clearly that something is wrong with them. Or does the murder have something to do with the victim's work in the port, as Stedefreund suspects...

Chief Inspectors Saalfeld and Keppler are called to an apparent suicide in a side canal of the Elster.

The Hamburg LKA has been tracking a gang of organ dealers for some time. Cenk Batu has been smuggled in as a driver, but so far has only completed simple errands and has not been able to identify any backers. That changes abruptly when he is given the task of picking up 14-year-old Amelie. But the girl escapes. The pressure on Cenk is growing: on the one hand, the organ dealers want the girl from him, on the other hand, he is responsible for a failure of the LKA, which could possibly result in further victims of the organ mafia... 

When chief inspector Moritz Eisner (Harald Krassnitzer) is called to a murder case in a Viennese subway station, he has no idea that this day will change his professional life drastically. Because at the scene of the crime, Bibi Fellner (Adele Neuhauser), whom he knows as a colleague from the vice squad and who he knows has a problem with alcohol, is waiting for him. When she reveals to him that she is his new assistant,the unsuspecting Eisner falls from all clouds. It's pretty much the opposite of love at first sight, and Eisner bitterly complains to his boss, Ernst Rauter (Hubert Kramar). However in vain. But now a red-hot problem overshadows everything else. This crime in the context of the most serious juvenile delinquency indicates an extremely cold-blooded serial offender.

After an important game, professional soccer player Kevin Faber is found dead on the shore of a lake – he has been killed. An act of passion or a planned murder? Charlotte Lindholm is shocked: Just a few hours before his death, Faber gave his son David an autograph in the stadium. The inspector soon follows several leads: Did Faber alienate his fans with a critical interview, was the murder a reckoning by hooligans?

And what was Faber's private life like, was he really happy with a woman?

The perpetrator, who works as a judge, is still on site and is in shock. She states that the man ambushed her and wanted to rape her - everything speaks for the specified course of events and the man's manslaughter in self-defense. It was only when Klara Blum and Perlmann carried out more detailed investigations into the dead man's environment that they found out that his private life and social demeanor did not exactly seem to fit an alleged rapist. Did the perpetrator and the victim actually know each other before this fateful encounter in the forest?

One day after his last visit to the family doctor, Olaf Mühlhaus died unexpectedly. The pensioner was terminally ill, but countless hematomas on the emaciated body of the corpse make the inspectors Till Ritter and Felix Stark doubt that the illness was the cause of the man's sudden death. When the autopsy revealed that it was not domestic violence but a medication error that led to the death of Olaf Mühlhaus, the doctor treating him, Dr. Gerhard Schmuckler and his group practice targeted by the Berlin investigators. Mühlhaus had been treated by Schmuckler for years – but on the day before his death, Antje Berger, the new doctor on the team, took care of the chronically ill patient.
While Ritter and Stark are looking for who is responsible for the deadly mistake, they are confronted with the excesses of the ailing healthcare system: expensive medicines with tight budgets, human fates like that of little Sophia Richthofen, whose mother Susanne is not only bitter about her daughter's severe cystic fibrosis , but also has to struggle with the high treatment costs.

What exactly did Nessi see?

Stefan Aldinger, one of the two operators of the colourful, diverse Stuttgart art complex Wagenhallen, is found dead. His wife Elena seems completely broken by the news. But she is one of the suspects, because the Aldinger couple had had a heated argument the night before the murder, and not for the first time. Jealous kickboxer Elena is known not to shy away from physical arguments. On the other hand, the murder happened in the midst of passionate political struggles for the preservation of the Wagenhallen, because the ambitiousInvestor Walter Rühle wants to build a high-quality residential project on the site. He has many local politicians on his side and also the art museum, namely the curator Julian Siebert, to whom he has promised his top-class painting collection.
When Rühle is arrested, he admits that he was able to "convince" Stefan Aldinger shortly before his death with the help of lucrative promises. The investor seems relieved, but with this statement he is incriminating Aldinger's partner Timo Holzmann, who does not want to give up the art area at any price.

The murder of businessman Arno Berger puzzles Commissioner Thiel. Because the fingerprints secured at the scene of the crime come from top politician Rüdiger Klarbach, although that can't really be the case: the former State Secretary in the Ministry of Economic Affairs died in a house fire in South Africa a year and a half ago. Prof. Boerne personally issued the death certificate at the time. Did he make a major malpractice? And asIf that weren't stressful enough, the forensic pathologist now has to answer questions from the tax inspector Leonie Krassnik.

The family of the deceased Secretary of State is also under surveillance. Klarbach's daughter Nele in particular reacted extremely indignantly to the police visit... 

"I want to report a murder." It was already late when a man named Sven Döring asked for admission to the Frankfurt Homicide Squad to make this report. Chief Inspector Conny Mey leads him into the office of her colleague Chief Inspector Frank Steier, the only room in which the light is still on. "My son has been in a coma for a year and I know that his girlfriend Mariam tried to murder him and that her colleague Seidel covered up this act," Döring complains. He seems extremely dangerous to the two commissioners. He seems to be planning something, maybe he wants to take revenge on the alleged perpetrator. Inspector Mey insists on driving to the young woman and protecting her, but "we are the murder and not the murder prevention commission," says Steier. A classic police dilemma.
As long as nothing happened to the girl, there is no police action against the potential perpetrator. Mey and Steier don't want to put up with it, but they investigate anyway and come across some oddities. Meanwhile, Sven Döring is playing his murderous cat-and-mouse game with the young girl and the police. The noose around Mariam's neck tightens and a deadly race begins.

When Fadime is murdered, Lena Odenthal and Mario Kopper wonder if internal jealousy and quarrels are behind thestick deed.

When Lena meets this girl again at school, it strengthens her suspicion that the student is Eshe Stegerhad something important to say about Mrs. Fuchs. But Eshe stubbornly remains silent and is supported in this by her mother Dafina and her stepfather Enno.

The valuable laboratory samples that the genetic engineers kept in the affected freezer have been destroyed.
The institute has often been the target of protests by militant opponents of genetic engineering: the commissioners interrogate the activist Alexander Geyda (Tom Schilling: "Tatort – Where is Max Gravert?", "Bloch – Death of a Friend"). Or is the perpetrator to be found in the institute itself ? The competitive and performance pressure that the individual laboratory groups are exposed to is extremely high.
