Overview
After a homecoming party for the husband of her ex-colleague Lissy, who has returned to Afghanistan, Ballauf and Schenk are called to the scene of the crime: the badly battered corpse of a young man was found in the bunker of an old military training area. His identity is quickly determined: According to the Frankfurt Airport Authority, Milad Rahimi (Reza Brojerdi) and his sister Amina (Maryam Zaree) had only traveled to Germany from Afghanistan two days ago. Amina's flight was paid for by the Pro-Afghanistan Foundation. But obviously the two were used here as body packers. The inspectors know that they have no time to lose: With the drugs in her body, Amina Rahimi's life is in great danger. Lissy's husband Sebastian Brandt (Roeland Wiesnekker), who works as an interpreter for the Bundeswehr, has just arrived by plane from Afghanistan. Obviously, the mission in the Hindu Kush left deep marks on the otherwise fun-loving father. With his comrades.
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.
