Overview
"I want to report a murder." It was already late when a man named Sven Döring asked for admission to the Frankfurt Homicide Squad to make this report. Chief Inspector Conny Mey leads him into the office of her colleague Chief Inspector Frank Steier, the only room in which the light is still on. "My son has been in a coma for a year and I know that his girlfriend Mariam tried to murder him and that her colleague Seidel covered up this act," Döring complains. He seems extremely dangerous to the two commissioners. He seems to be planning something, maybe he wants to take revenge on the alleged perpetrator. Inspector Mey insists on driving to the young woman and protecting her, but "we are the murder and not the murder prevention commission," says Steier. A classic police dilemma. As long as nothing happened to the girl, there is no police action against the potential perpetrator. Mey and Steier don't want to put up with it, but they investigate anyway and come across some oddities. Meanwhile, Sven Döring is playing his murderous cat-and-mouse game with the young girl and the police. The noose around Mariam's neck tightens and a deadly race begins.
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.
