Odenthal - 74 - Der böse König

A kiosk operator in Ludwigshafen is brutally killed. It looks like robbery-if it weren't for the coins stuck in the dead man's windpipe. A signal for Lena Odenthal and Johanna Stern that there could be a private motive for the crime. Their investigations focus on two customers of the kiosk. Anton Maler is charming, takes care of his sick ex-girlfriend and is so exaggeratedly accommodating to the inspectors that he seems suspicious again. Jannik Berg, on the other hand, was not only seen with the possible murder weapon, he tried to avoid the inspectors and sowed mistrust of Anton Maler. Witnesses and suspects who lie and sugarcoat are nothing new for Lena Odenthal and Johanna Stern.
This time, however, they have the impression that they are being manipulated beyond what they are used to. The "Tatort: The Evil King" by author and director Martin Eigler confronts the inspectors with a narcissistic personality, for which they have to find special psychological clarity. In Ludwigshafen, shimmering in the summer heat, they get ever closer to the abysses in their suspect's psyche and have to ask themselves whether his instability can lead to murder.

The Twelve

Twelve citizens are called for jury duty on a high-profile murder trial as traumatizing as it is controversial, in which a woman stands accused of killing her sister's child.

As time goes by, the murder trial becomes a trial, not only for the accused, but for the jury members themselves.

Behind the façade of their anonymity, these twelve ordinary people bring with them their own histories. Lives that are as complex as the trial, full of fractured dreams, shameful secrets, hope, fears, personal trauma and prejudice.
