Overview
That was murder: a young man lies dead on the street, next to him is a holdall filled with 500,000 euros. The identity of the victim is quickly established. It is Ivo Klein, who celebrated his bachelor party with friends that evening. The fingerprints on the bag and on the cash lead Max Ballauf and Freddy Schenk to Reiner Bertram, a renowned commercial lawyer in Cologne. When the inspectors confront him about Ivo Klein's death, Bertram admits that he deposited the money for a ransom demand. His granddaughter Charlotte Ritter has been kidnapped and the kidnappers have threatened to kill her if the police get involved... Now it's a race against time to find the kidnapped girl in time.
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.
