Overview
The investigative team is sitting in a good mood in a Saarbrücken restaurant: Chief Inspector Leo Holz (Vladimir Burlakov), Chief Inspector Adam Schürk (Daniel Sträßer), Chief Inspector Esther Baumann (Brigitte Urhausen) and Chief Inspector Pia Heinrich (Ines Marie Westernströer) have just finished eating when Adam receives a text message from his father urging him to go home as his mother is very unwell. Adam reluctantly sets off, but only meets his father at home, who pretends to have an important conversation with him. Meanwhile, a mission message reaches the rest of the team. Leo and Pia make their way to the scene of the crime: they find the body of Cora Reuters in a villa in the best part of Saarbrücken. In addition, a blood-smeared baseball bat, an empty can of pepper spray, an open safe with wads of cash in it - and a suspected perpetrator who is seriously injured on the ground and is therefore taken to the hospital. When he dies there a short time later in an unnatural way, the team around Chief Inspector Woods quickly realizes that there is more to it than an unsuccessful burglary. Initial investigations show that Cora Reuters was broken into a few months ago and a surveillance camera was secretly installed. Adam is missing from the briefing the next morning.
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.
