Overview
Riot in Hamburg: Convicted serial killer Born disappears without a trace when he is released with his therapist Simon Ruder. Because chief inspector Jan Casstorff had arrested Born at the time, he is called into the case. But even he cannot prevent two more prostitutes from being killed in quick succession. While the pimp Schöndauer swears revenge, the report by the psychologist Ruder, who believed Born had been treated and allowed him to go free, seems to have been definitively refuted. Shortly after, Born is found hanged. The case seems settled. But during their investigations into the red-light district and the circumstances of Born's escape, Casstorff, Eduard Holicek and Jenny Graf come across information that suggests a different, outrageous background to the crime.
About the show
Tatort is a long-running German/Austrian/Swiss crime television series set in various parts of these countries. The show is broadcast on the channels of ARD in Germany, ORF 2 in Austria, and SF1 in Switzerland. The first episode was broadcast on November 29, 1970. The opening sequence for the series has remained the same throughout the decades, which remains highly unusual for any such long-running TV series to date. Each of the regional TV channels that together form ARD, plus ORF and SF, produces its own episodes, starring its own police inspector, some of which, like the discontinued Schimanski, have become cultural icons. The show appears on DasErste and ORF 2 on Sundays at 8:15 p.m. and currently about 30 episodes are made per year. As of March 2013, 865 episodes in total have been produced. Tatort is currently being broadcast in the United States on the MHz Worldview channel under the name Scene of the Crime.
