Lannert - 25 - Du allein

A murder on the street, an anonymous demand for money, the threat of further shootings: Is Stuttgart being blackmailed by a sniper?
"1". That's all there is to the letter addressed to "The investigators in today's murder case". What you might think of as a joke soon becomes harsh reality for Thorsten Lannert and Sebastian Bootz. Because that same morning, a woman is shot dead on the street. A well-aimed long-range shot, obviously from a skilled marksman; A "1" is engraved on the cartridge case. There is no more evidence and the investigators have bad suspicions. A second letter contains a demand for money: three million, otherwise murder number 2 will follow somewhere else in the city. The handover of money is cleverly arranged, but the inspectors also prepare themselves carefully. Nevertheless, the perpetrator cannot be caught and the second murder cannot be prevented. This increases the pressure on the police and public prosecutorsanonymous threat leads to panic. There is a first success when not only a cartridge case but also traces of red nail polish are found at the second crime scene. But only when the investigators examine the lives of the murdered in minute detail do they uncover the drama behind the murders. In their 25th case, the Stuttgart inspectors Thorsten Lannert and Sebastian Bootz are put under a lot of pressure by author Wolfgang Stauch and director Friederike Jehn, because the perpetrator seems to choose his victims completely arbitrarily and escalation is possible at any time. And yet the detectives remain confident that they can find a pattern and a motive behind the apparently unrelated killings.
With "Tatort: You alone" Carolina Vera bids farewell to the role of prosecutor Emilia Álvarez. Since the first deployment of the Stuttgart commissioners in 2008, she has been at their side, the trusting and productive cooperation between investigators and public prosecutors a trademark of the Stuttgart teams.
