Original synopsis

Overview

During a routine questioning of Steier (Joachim Król) a catastrophe occurs. A little girl is fatally injured by a ricochet. However, the perpetrator was acquitted in court because the lawyer questioned the statement made by Inspector Steier, who had drunk a lot in a pub the night before the operation. Steier is beside himself and resigns from the service, wanting to "finally be a hero in his own film again". He loads his pistol and pursues Nico (Maik Rogge), who fired the fatal shots. He comes to his senses at the last moment, but finds out that Nico is planning a burglary together with his brother Robin (Vincent Krüger) and his junkie girlfriend Lisa (Janina Schauer). It ends in disaster, the homeowner who has returned unexpectedly is killed. A neighbor, Rolf Poller (Armin Rohde), has observed everything and gets caught in the crosshairs of the trio of burglars who want to get rid of the witness. While trying to save Poller, Steier is knocked down by the latter in his house and locked in the basement with Nico and his brother's girlfriend. He locks Robin in his son's former youth room. Poller follows a perfidious plan. He too finally wants to be the hero in his own film again. Only his version follows a completely different script.

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.
