Original synopsis

Overview

It's early morning. A young woman flees in panic and crosses a busy highway. A little later she is dead, lying dead near a high-rise settlement. Initial investigations show that the young woman is emaciated, dehydrated and has probably not seen sunlight for a long time. In their last case, the two chief inspectors Kappl (Maximilian Brückner) and Deininger (Gregor Weber) quickly find out that the victim years ago aslittle girl was kidnapped and has been missing until today. Then suddenly a second young woman appears, who was also missing for a long time. She is alive but completely distraught. Apparently, both girls were kidnapped by the same perpetrator and held under inhumane circumstances. For the investigators, a race against time begins, which they suspect: the kidnapper could have other girls in his power.

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.
