Rubin - 11 - Das perfekte Verbrechen

A busy square in the middle of the city, 12:00 noon. The student Mina Jiang (Yun Huang) is just waving at her fellow student Luise (Paula Kroh) from afar when she suddenly collapses and dies. A shot in the back of the head leads inspectors Rubin (Meret Becker) and Karow (Mark Waschke) to the historical center of Berlin. An initial determination of the location shows that the shot was fired from a building not far away, the "Berlin School of Law", a private elite university for the training of lawyers. The seminar room from which the shooting probably took place was occupied by four students holding a colloquium: Quembach (Franz Pätzold) leads the course, Falkenstein (Lukas Walcher), Wolfram Liere (Max Krause) and Godlewsky (Johannes Scheidweiler) belong to the inner circle.
Rubin and Karow find out that each year the members of the colloquium select a new member who must pass certain tests to be admitted. This year it is Benjamin Renz (Anton von Lucke), who comes from Oberschöneweide and does not come from an elitist family. he is withLuise, who does not accept the secret men's union. He has already passed two tests of courage, but what is Probatio No. 3 all about? The founder of the university, Prof. Richard Liere (Peter Kurth), seeks the assistance of his star lawyer, Dr. Perner (Ulrich Friedrich Brandhoff) to advise the suspected students. Karow develops ambition, after all he too has started studying law and knows Liere from earlier times. "The perfect crime" is a topos in the history of crime films.
The "Tatort" takes up the topic and tells about the incredible hubris of a group of students in whose lives money and networks play the main role. You are highly intelligent. But are they shameless enough to dare the perfect crime? And does it even exist? "The Perfect Crime" is Rubin and Karow's eleventh investigation. Brigitte Maria Bertele directed the film, and Michael Comtesse wrote the screenplay. The shooting took place from June 25th to July 24th at places including Gendarmenmarkt, Kreuzberg, Dahlem and the Löwenvilla in Potsdam.
