Overview
A walker saw a man lying under a rock in the woods and Lena Odenthal made her way to the scene of the crime. When the commissioner arrives there is no trace of the man. While searching for clues to the man's whereabouts, she is knocked out from behind and taken hostage by five youths. As it turns out, these are young people from a nearby rehabilitation camp who killed their group leader and are now on the run. Lena Odenthal is to serve as their hostage. While Lena tries to keep the youngsters in check and prevent the situation from escalating further, Mario Kopper desperately tries to find his colleague's whereabouts in order to come to her aid. A race against time and the adverse weather in the forest begins, because the stress of the hike and the escape from the police make the young people more and more aggressive and dangerous. Mario Kopper desperately tries to follow Lena's trail and free his colleague from the hostage-takers.
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.
