Overview
Homicide detectives often encounter death. But in her latest case, Lena Odenthal is also confronted with dying. The murdered Sabine Brodag worked for the Swiss euthanasia association Charontas. Supposedly he only does lobbying in Germany - but Lena Odenthal finds out that Brodag was involved in illegal euthanasia deals. Lena and Kopper suspect that Michael Heymann, with whom Sabine Brodag had a relationship,was involved in it. Kopper behaves very aggressively towards the club's employees - in his eyes their activities are unacceptable. Things are no longer so clear for Lena when she meets Katja Frege and her daughter Julia. Katja has to deal with the fact that her nine-year-old daughter has to die in agony. Desperate about the fate of her child, Katja sought help from Sabine Brodag.
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.
