Overview

During an operation on the banks of the Elbe in Dresden, paramedic Tarik Wasir was suffocated with a plastic bag in the vehicle. His young colleague Greta Blaschke can no longer help him. The investigators Karin Gorniak and Leonie Winkler as well as Commissariat Manager Schnabel investigate in all directions. The rampaging patient Arnold Liebig, whose health insurance has cut benefits, is just as suspicious as Greta's colleague Hagen Rigmers, who seems to be hiding something and threatens his colleagues. A short time later, a second attack is carried out on an ambulance at the same location. Paramedic Elena Jancowicz is seriously injured, and any help comes too late for a colleague. At the rescue station headed by Peter Fritsche, the fear of further attacks increases. Greta Blaschke is at the end of her strength because of the murder of her colleague and her strenuous job. The single mother is hoping for distraction from an evening date with Jens Schlueter, whom she met in her daughter's kindergarten. Little does she know that along the way she will be confronted with a traumatic experience from her past and that she is putting herself in extreme danger

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.
