Overview

Charming young Ben finds it easy to win over women, especially older ones. As a lover of wealthy women, he persuades them to do shady stock deals and then makes off with the stolen money. His unsuspecting girlfriend Vera, a saleswoman in a jewelry store, gives him information about wealthy single customers. When the energetic Elisabeth Hagen found out about him, Ben grabbed it spontaneously. He drowns his victim in the bathtub and dumps the body in the harbor. But thereshe quickly reappears. While Lena Odenthal and Mario Kopper clarify the victim's identity and find clues to a mysterious lover in his spotless life, Ben lets himself be pampered by his second iron in the fire, the generous Rosemarie Baal. But then Vera starts asking questions, a car dealer becomes suspicious. Ben makes plans to escape. When Lena gets closer and closer to him in her investigations, Ben's situation comes to a head and he resorts to desperate means.

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.
