Overview
Falke and Grosz are entrusted with a delicate task under strict discretion: 17-year-old Juan Mendez (Riccardo Campione) has disappeared from a fine boarding school where celebrities and elites from business and politics have their children educated. Juan's father is the ambassador of an authoritarian country whose president is about to pay a state visit to Germany. The questionable despot is known for having members of the opposition and journalists arrested and tortured. While Juan's girlfriend Hanna (Valerie Stoll) fears the worst, his best friend August (Anselm Ferdinand Bresgott) suspects that the boy just wants to avoid the official celebrations of the state visit. Whatever is behind it, Juan's disappearance puts the Bergson couple (Katarina Gaub and Christian Erdmann), who run the school, in distress. The good reputation of the school is its most important asset. In the course of the investigations by Falke and Grosz, the boy's bodyguard comes under suspicion, especially when a blackmail letter appears: Juan's kidnappers are trying to free imprisoned opponents of the regime and journalists...
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.
