Overview
After going it alone in connection with his arch-enemy Firat Astan's attempt to break out, the murder of his ex-wife Isabella Schoppenroth and a sensational hostage-taking, LKA investigator Nick Tschiller was suspended for a while. He wants to use the time to finally take care of his daughter Lenny more as a single father. But then it disappears. Tschiller's loyal partner Yalcin Gümer can locate Lenny's cell phone in Istanbul. The girl probably wants to avenge her mother on her own in Turkey. When Nick learns that his nemesis also managed to escape from Turkish prison, he knows that his daughter is in danger. So he has to do what he does best again: take up arms. When he learns in Istanbul that his daughter has fallen into the clutches of Russian gangsters and that shady organ dealers have taken her to Moscow, where they want to "cannibalize" Lenny, a race against time finally begins for Nick.
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.
