Overview
When the police arrive at the scene of the crime, a young woman is crouching next to the victim - apparently the murderer. She still has the knife in her hand and only wants to surrender on one condition: she demands to be able to speak to Inspector Faber. It is completely unclear what connection she has to the head of the Dortmund homicide squad. Then Commissioner Pawlak gets a disturbing call from his five-year-old daughter. On high alert, he makes his way to his family.
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.
