Overview

When Julia Grosz' friend Ela, who infiltrated the left-wing autonomist scene in Hamburg as an undercover investigator for the LKA, disappears without a trace, Grosz goes in search of her. Under a false identity, she enters the hedonistic, liberal milieu in which her friend seems to have lost herself. Falke supports Grosz - and at the same time investigates in the case of an arson attack, which initially resulted in aseries of politically motivated acts of violence seems to follow. But when the boundaries become increasingly blurred for Grosz and Falke encounters questionable internal police information, both stumble. Only when both investigators pull together can they identify the person responsible for the arson attack, who is also involved in Ela's disappearance - and is much closer to her than initially suspected.

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.
