Overview

Thorsten Lannert and Sebastian Bootz are called to a luxurious apartment in Stuttgart when they receive an emergency call from a young woman. But no sooner have they discovered the body of a young woman than the inspectors themselves come under fire. When they return to the apartment after the shootout, the body is gone. Nevertheless, they find out that it must have been a prostitute named Galina. The landlord of the apartment soon turns out to be her pimp. However, he had no motive for murdering his employees . The local politician Höfele, who regularly used Galina's services, did that much earlier. Obviously, he gave her hopes for a life together, which, of course, he never believed in, but Galina even more so. She wormed her way into his family by befriending their teenage daughter. In doing so, however, she not only threatened the politician's existence, but also destroyed the life dreams of other people around her.

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.
