Overview
Adi Zeitler, Willy Tindle and their friend Cynthia Lademaker don't just want coffee and cake. Numerous ailments of old age require sorely needed relief. Right now, before the upcoming funeral of Cynthia's husband, the trio is dependent on the proven painkillers. As always, the smell of coffee is in the air at the old pharmacist Karl Kreuzer. But in the back room next to the laboratory, Willy makes a grisly discovery: the pharmacist was stabbed to death in a macabre way. The drug addict Benny Marien can just escape the horrified Willyescape toilet. The Munich chief inspectors Ivo Batic and Franz Leitmayr have to inform Helga Müller, the good spirit of the pharmacy, of the death of their beloved boss. Chief Inspector Carlo Menzinger is ordered back from his well-deserved short vacation at his mountain hut. Gradually, the three investigators gain insight into the world of the elderly and those left alone in this murder case. But the senior trio tries steadfastly to fight for a happy old age in the face of illness and hardship.
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.
