Original synopsis

Overview

Klara Blum and Kai Perlmann are called to a body found in the forest. The dead man is an unknown man who was killed by a jogger in self-defense. The perpetrator, who works as a judge, is still on site and is in shock. She states that the man ambushed her and wanted to rape her - everything speaks for the specified course of events and the man's manslaughter in self-defense. It was only when Klara Blum and Perlmann carried out more detailed investigations into the dead man's environment that they found out that his private life and social demeanor did not exactly seem to fit an alleged rapist. Did the perpetrator and the victim actually know each other before this fateful encounter in the forest?

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.
