Overview
Franziska was taken hostage: This news hits Ballauf and Schenk in the heart. Not only do you have to solve the murder of a prisoner in the Cologne prison, you also urgently need to help your colleague. In addition to her job with the homicide squad, Franziska is also a volunteer probation officer. And the inmate assigned to her, Daniel Kehl, of all people, is now threatening her with a knife in the prison visitor's room. After ten years in prison, he is actually about to be released. But he is urgently suspected of having just murdered his cell neighbor Sergej Rowitsch. Kehl protests his innocence. But his fellow inmate Niklas Berg testified that he had been caught in the act. Is there a conspiracy against Kehl?
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.
