Original synopsis

Overview

A desperate call alerted the Kiel police emergency number: "He's in my apartment. He just comes through the wall." But for Carmen Kessler, any help comes too late. The young woman is found brutally murdered in her apartment. Inspector Borowski and his colleague Sarah Brandt are puzzled: Although the apartment door is locked and the perpetrator left no traces at the crime scene, the murderer seems to have been in and out of the victim's house. He stayed with her secretly, gave her anonymous gifts and studied every habit of his victim.

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.
