Overview
A bizarre black mass, melted together with a plastic deck chair in a pergola garden - nothing more is left of Enno Schopper. In their fifth case, the Berlin "Tatort" commissioners Nina Rubin (Meret Becker) and Robert Karow (Mark Waschke) have to find out what is behind the cruel death of the teacher. The first investigations lead Rubin and Karow to the comprehensive school in Neukölln's Rollbergkiez, where Enno Schopper taught before he was apparently beaten to death, doused in petrol and burned to death. But why? "Ask the kids in the neighborhood what is best done with gays," says Enno's husband Armin (Jens Harzer) to the investigators. Enno lived his gay marriage demonstratively openly - almost provocatively, at least here. A witness claims to have seen how Enno addressed the student DuranSexually approached Bolic (Justus Johanssen) in the locker room. The teacher has been taking care of the boy from difficult backgrounds for years. He and Armin gave him a home and encouraged him. But Enno and Duran vehemently deny the rumor. Enno is on leave until clarification - now Enno Schopper is dead. Rubin and Karow want to question Duran. But he has disappeared, supposedly with his father to Croatia. Is that correct? Duran's friend Jasna (Lisa Vicari) swears, "Never! Duran hated his father." And Duran would never have harmed Enno, he adored him. Armin also asserts this, whose ironically charming manner arouses interest and distrust in Karow in equal measure. Rubin and Karow struggle to stay out of the morass of rumor and prejudice.
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.
