Original synopsis

Overview

Early in the morning, while walking around the Stuttgart market hall, a security guard found one of the dealers lying dead in his stand; His 19-year-old, mentally handicapped son Geza is kneeling next to him with the murder weapon in his hand. Bienzle has to deal with the network of market people and finds out that the victim not only "moved" fruit and vegetables, but also stolen jewels. At the same time, Bienzle takes care of the boy, who is now an orphan - his mother left him long before - and takes him home. Then Geza comes into conflict with Hannelore, who is by no means upset by the visit.

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.
