Overview
After a dinner with his closest colleagues, Professor Karl-Friedrich Boerne (Jan Josef Liefers) suffers a catastrophic car accident on his way to vacation. Seriously injured, he is taken to the hospital, where the doctors in the intensive care unit are fighting for his life. Chief Inspector Frank Thiel (Axel Prahl) is suspicious of the matter – his gut feeling tells him that something is wrong with Boerne's accident. Was it really attempted murder? Public prosecutor Wilhelmine Klemm (Mechthild Großmann) refers to the colleagues who are investigating the accident and forbids Thiel to conduct his own investigations, which of course does not prevent him from doing his own research. Meanwhile, Boerne's vacation replacement appears in forensic medicine - Dr. Jens Jacoby (Hans Löw), a young, charismatic colleague who has just returned from Brazil. He quickly wins Silke "Alberich" Haller's (ChrisTine Ursprechen) sympathy, and together the two search for the truth at Thiel's side.
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.
