Overview
Charlotte Lindholm and her boyfriend Tobias Endres are making plans for the future: they have been a couple for over a year, love is great and they finally want to move in together. The only problem: Charlotte hasn't yet dared to let her roommate Martin Felser know about her plans. Then Charlotte Lindholm is entrusted with a new case: Herwig Gruber, the managing director of the food company "Corte Germany", died in a car accident. The State Criminal Police Office assumes an attack because Gruber was involved in a spectacular food scandal some time ago. "Corte Germany", the German branch of an American multinational, had put a new spaghetti sauce on the market that was contaminated with pesticides at great advertising expense. Although Gruber was acquitted of all allegations in a trial, he was the guilty party for the victims' families. Charlotte's investigations lead to Lothar Pickert, whose daughter ate the contaminated sauce and has been severely disabled ever since. Pickert had already threatened Gruber several times. When Chief Inspector Lindholm contacts the respected law firm "Fisher & Bell", which represented the interests of "Corte Germany" and defended Gruber in the process, the case takes on a new dimension for her. To her surprise, she finds out that her boyfriend Tobias had worked as a lawyer in the law firm. Why didn't he tell her about it? Did Tobias have anything to do with the "Corte Germany" case? Shortly thereafter there is another murder victim: Liane Wagner. The young woman was a secretary in the law firm some time ago and had a hot love affair with Tobias Endres at the time. Tobias behaves increasingly suspiciously in Charlotte's eyes. In the course of their investigations, the evidence that Tobias Endres has something to do with the scandal and the murder of Liane grows. Can Charlotte still trust the man she loves?
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.
