Overview
Completely frightened, a young woman shows up at Inga Lürsen's (Sabine Postel) and Stedefreund's (Oliver Mommsen) police station. After a long night, shortly before a perpetrator (Bernd Tauber) finally wants to confess, she bursts into the middle of the interrogation. The perpetrator is silent again. Chief Inspector Inga Lürsen is annoyed and tired. Manu tells of a brutal murder of her boyfriend, but Inga Lürsen doesn't believe her. For them, Manu (Ester Zimmering) is a storyteller like Scheherazade. Years ago she convicted Manu with a confession for manslaughter in a drug environment, and even then Manu often told stories and only rarely the truth. But Manu does not give up, she insists that her boyfriend was involved in the 9/11 terror. Only Stedefreund - fascinated by this woman - is willing to accept her claims. He persuades Inga Lürsen to drive with Manu to the apartment where the body is supposed to be; but the detectives find nothing - no body, no traces, no clues to Manu's story. But Stedefreund wants to believe the storyteller. Only for Inga does the case seem very clear, until her old love suddenly shows up, and then she too has to decide on the truth.
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.
