The view sweeps over a golf course.
Shimmering heat, you can hear the tee shot with a big pop.
A cuckoo calls.
A man dressed in beige hurries sweating towards the golfer.
"Your father says, if you want to break him, you will get to know him." "He should pay," says the hipster with the purple sunglasses and puts the next blow in the sand.
A moment later, the second from just now has disappeared.
To this end, the golfer is surrounded by four black-clad figures with dog masks on their heads and at guns.
He is forced into a delivery truck.
One scene later there is a death.

Der fängt ja gut an, dieser „Tatort: Wer zögert, ist tot“, der erste neue nach elfwöchiger Sommerwiederholungspause, ein Fall für Anna Janneke (Margarita Broich) und Paul Brix (Wolfram Koch): feinste Kameraarbeit (Jan Velten), eine Regie (Petra Lüschow) mit Stil-Willen, dazu ein vielversprechend verworren angelegter Fall. Was will man mehr? Vielleicht, dass es doch bitte schön so weitergeht. Geht es aber nicht, es zeigt sich vielmehr, dass dem Buch (ebenfalls Petra Lüschow) eine Idee zugrunde liegt – Frauen machen gemeinsame Sache im Kampf gegen männliche Unterdrückung –, aus der dann irgendwie ein „Tatort“ werden musste. Da wird dann alles hübsch eingepasst, was nicht wirklich zusammengehört, von der Klischeeparade ganz zu schweigen.
Severed fingers in the police station
Frederick Seibold (Helgi Schmid), the casual golfer we meet again chained to a mattress in a basement hole, is the failed son of real estate tricks and business lawyer Konrad Seibold (Bernhard Schütz). The kidnappers are after his money. First they send a cut finger, then a second, but the old man does not want to pay the required four million euros. He suspects that his son was behind the kidnapping himself. The inspectors Janneke and Brix cannot believe how Seibold senior reacts. The appearance of Frederick's ex-girlfriend Bille Kerbel (Britta Hammelstein), who is raising two of his children alone and gnawing on starvation, appears strange to the two Frankfurt investigators. Bille delivers the first severed finger to the police station. When it turns outthat the finger came from a dead person and not from Frederick Seibold, his father sees his suspicions confirmed. But he will get a third finger, which undoubtedly comes from his filius.
If it weren't for Brixen's roommate Fanny (Zazie de Paris), things dragged on and on for the quite perplexed commissioners. Why Fanny has to take refuge in a bar because she has reunited with a man who she thinks was a previous molester - we do not find out what this is about - remains as open as the question of Fanny and Brix looking for an apartment that only seems to exist in order to establish a connection to the professional activity of Seibold senior, in whose living room Brix goes through apartment advertisements on paper in order to promptly get an offer from the kidnapper's father (“Schweizer Strasse, best location”). Fanny has meanwhile sneaked into Conny Kaiserling's (Christina Große) studio for women's self-defense courses as an undercover agent,which the commissioners came across through contact with Bille Kerbel. And then there is Leila el Mansouri (Tala Al-Deen), who works as a personal assistant for Seibold the Elder, although she could choose top-class jobs based on her qualifications. She also makes herself suspicious, but the two commissioners come up with it very late.
If we were in the “Tatort” from Münster, which is specifically designed as a comedy, everything could fit, including the “Ocean's Eleven” -like end of the story.
But the dialogues required for this are in short supply.
They fluctuate between the exclamation “Dogs don't know justice”, which Seibold senior makes in the pet dispute with his neighbor, and seriously meant statements such as Conny's realization: “We women are brought up too nicely.
We have to learn to overcome the bite inhibition. ”With the motivations of those involved and the storylines, it doesn't look any better.
Could it be that the more exciting program will run on Sunday evening with the "Triell" on RTL?
With this “crime scene”, in which the two investigators barely come into their own, you definitely don't miss a thing.
The crime scene: Anyone who hesitates is dead runs on Sunday at 8.15 p.m. in the first.
