Overview

When Kremlin, the head of a foreign cleaning crew, steps out into the street after work is done in a high-rise building, a dead person is lying at his feet: his African cleaning man Koffi. Kremlin eliminates the dead man who worked for him illegally. In his closed hand he finds the gold membership pin of a golf club. Kremlin knows who the killer is and starts blackmailing him. When Koffi's body is found in a green space, Ritter and Stark dive ina foreign culture of the African community in Berlin. Freda Amadou, the dead man's beautiful and pregnant friend, is silent. Does she want to protect the only key witness in the murder case, the African student Taribo? And what does black businessman Willy Amadou have to do with the case? Only gradually do the inspectors discover that this is a dramatic father-daughter story in a literally dark milieu.

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.
