Original synopsis

Overview

In his new case, Bienzle must deal with a horrifying, if common, crime: the murder of a little girl. It looks as if the perpetrator did not strike for the first time. There are parallels to a case two years ago. The Commissioner Romberg who was responsible at the time was also quite sure that he knew the perpetrator, but he could not prove it to him. From his point of view, it is particularly tragic that a second murder has now taken place, as he believes that he could have prevented it. All the more urges Romberg Bienzle, who heads the special commission in this case, to follow up the trail again. Of course, Bienzle doesn't want to put on someone else's blinders and prefers to research openly in all directions. Another girl murder happens and everything points to the perpetrator from back then. Bienzle seems to have failed and is personally at the end. But he doesn't give up and finds the real culprit - whom Romberg couldn't find himself.

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.
