Overview

A shock for Commissioner Stedefreund (Oliver Mommsen): After a night of drinking, his friend Peer (Michael Pink) has disappeared without a trace! Blood stains in his apartment point to a crime. Stedefreund and his colleague Inga Lürsen (Sabine Postel) are looking for an African asylum seeker (Florence Kasumba) whom the men had taken home during the night . Because suddenly there is no trace of her either. The detectives find out that she specifically targeted Peer and three of his colleagues from the water police. Inga doesn't sense anything good, because the four officers were once deployed in the Mediterranean for the European agency Frontex. Is revenge involved here? But what for?

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.
