Original synopsis

Overview

Manfred Gabler is found dead at the bottom of a staircase. Numerous injuries indicate that he cannot simply have fallen, but was severely abused in a hopeless fight before his death. For Moritz Eisner (Harald Krassnitzer) and Bibi Fellner (Adele Neuhauser), there are only very few immediately usable traces around the place where the corpse was found. Nevertheless, some peculiarities are noticeable from the beginning: Manfred Gabler was a Catholic priest, he had remarkably few social contacts - and strangely enough an amulet with the Satanic symbol with him. A possible reason for this is soon found: Prelate Gabler was active on a special mission, he was one of the few priests in the so-called liberation service, which is still the case in many countries and diocesesthere – Gabler was what is commonly called an exorcist. Shortly before his death, as Eisner and Fellner soon find out, he had an appointment with an unknown person "N" - possibly an important witness. But nobody can tell the two who this person is, nobody knows a name or an address. Moritz and Bibi take a closer look at the dead man's surroundings. Gabler's successor in office did not always agree with his methods, a somewhat eccentric scientist is interested in data that Gabler is said to have possessed, the psychiatrist who regularly examined Gabler's clients is deliberately taciturn, and what role does a former pimp play ( Roland Düringer) in this case? And above all: Where is the motive for a murder?

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.
