Overview
Customs officer Robert Riebsahl is murdered. The customs station is shaken. Riebsahl was considered a particularly correct civil servant. Klara Blum and Kai Perlmann are looking for a motive for the crime. Apparently Riebsahl was on the trail of irregularities in the customs station. In view of the brisk smuggling activities at the border, it is obvious that one or the other colleague is involved in shady dealings. For example, the young customs officers Marie Schreiber and Kevin Kümmerle, whom Riebsahl secretly photographed at work shortly before his death. The two commissioners encounter a web of corruption and favoritism. But is this actually the motive for the murder, or are they dealing with an entirely different drama?
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.
