Overview
A human trafficker and two police officers are killed in a gas explosion near a container terminal. In the vicinity of the terminal, a number of people were dependent on the dead smuggler: the forwarder Dreyer, the loadmaster Martinsen and the obscure security guard Jertz. Falke and Lorenz, who are investigating the human trafficking ring together with their colleague Jan Katz, are faced with a wall of silence. Falke and Lorenz also approach the desperate refugees who were picked up in a container and the traumatized colleagues of the dead police officers, above all Gerd Carstens, from a distance.
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.
