Original synopsis

Overview

Two dead men in quick succession - murdered on the same pattern. Without a doubt, Commissioner Borowski is dealing with a perpetrator who will strike again. Looking for similarities between the victims, Borowski discovers that both men had placed personal ads. Frieda Jung remarks that Borowski's type fits into the victim scheme. That's why, as an alleged new single, he goes looking for a partner through the local newspaper and meets women who are willing to commit and who have responded to his ad. He is observed by Frieda Jung and coached for the battle of the sexes. An unusual role for Borowski. He has to pose as a lonely and sensible man looking for Mrs. Right. Soon Borowski - undercover - gets to know the self-confident Gundula. With her, he penetrates a tightly woven web of lonely hearts, including the potential killer, on his forays through the recreational groups and 40-plus meetings, putting himself in grave danger.

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.
