Overview

Prisoner Timo Lemke is allowed to attend his father's funeral. Lemke was sentenced to a long prison term for manslaughter and human trafficking. Although the former Red Light King is about to be released, he takes the chance to escape - and shoots a policeman dead in the process. While the Erfurt detectives Funck, Schaffert and Grewel are looking for Lemke's whereabouts, the boss of the trio, detective director Petra Fritzenberger, becomeskidnapped. Together with criminal director Volker Römhild, Fritzenberger was able to convict and arrest Lemke. Does Timo Lemke want to take revenge for that? Is Römhild now also in danger? Former police colleague Ingo Konzack also plays an obscure role. Before Funck, Schaffert and Grewel can question him about it, Timo Lemke is found dead. How is the trio supposed to find the whereabouts of the boss? How long will she survive alone?

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.
