Overview
The inspectors Fritz Dellwo and Charlotte Sänger are called to their old presidium. The body of a young woman is said to have been found in the empty building. But the two colleagues who reported the body found cannot be found at the alleged crime scene. Dellwo and Sänger set out to search the old headquarters, but no trace of the woman's corpse can be found either. Instead, they are confronted with the situation that the two police officers have been taken hostage. The kidnapper's demand is conveyed to them by an accomplice: Charlotte Sänger is to bring Alexander Kern into the deserted headquarters. Kern - convicted of kidnapping in a circumstantial trial only - was recently released from prison for his retrial. When Singer refuses to lure Kern to the police station, they learn that Kern's lawyer is also in the kidnapper's power. Dellwo and singers realize that they are in an almost hopeless situation. Whatever you decide, it's wrong - every cop's nightmare...
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.
