Overview
The new Saarbrücken commissioner (Devid Striesow) takes care of an orphaned child in a hardware store. The little Arabic girl doesn't speak a word of German, but Stellbrink quickly gains her trust. Melinda, that's the name of the little girl, takes the inspector to a nearby cheap hotel. At first everything looks as if the girl's relatives live here, but then Stellbrink realizes: Something is wrong here. He can free the girl from the room and they both flee, because three armed men are chasing after them. But why? Stellbrink's colleagues Lisa Marx (Elisabeth Brück) and Horst Jordan (Hartmut Volle) and above all public prosecutor Nicole Dubois (Sandra Steinbach), who quickly takes a very critical view of Stellbrink's unorthodox methods, also ask themselves this.
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.
