Overview
The 17-year-old Emily Fisher (Emilia Bernsdorf) has an appointment at night in the park with the two-year-old boy next door, Sebastian Schneider (Tobias Schäfer). But he doesn't come. At home, Emily learns that Sebastian has fallen to his death in a "Lost Place", an old factory building. For the chief inspectors Anna Janneke (Margarita Broich) and Paul Brix (Wolfram Koch) it quickly becomes clear that it is a matter of murder. They come across videos online that Sebastian made with his buddy Adrian (Leon Seidel) in abandoned factory buildings. Janneke and Brix meet their neighbors Raymond (Kai Scheve) and Gretchen Fisher (Tessa Mittelstaedt) through Ulrich Schneider (Henning Peker), Sebastian's father . The Fishers are an American family that is well integrated into the neighborhood and speaks perfect German. Gretchen works at the US consulate in Frankfurt, Raymond works for a large insurance company. In one of the "Lost Places" filmed by Sebastian, Brix finds - well hidden - a clue that Gretchen was having an affair with Sebastian. Did Sebastian blackmail her? Could this be a motive for Gretchen's murder? Gradually, Janneke and Brix discover the dark secret of the Fishers...
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.
