Rebecca is 17 when police find her next to a man's burning body. She can't be spoken to, doesn't even know that her real name is Rebecca. She was kidnapped when she was two and has been held captive by the dead man, Olaf Reuter, ever since. The girl was exposed to a perfidious system with which Reuter raised her to become a pseudo-religious fanatic who was fixated on him and unable to communicate with strangers. Not even to tell Klara Blum and Kai Perlmann how Reuter died – or what the traces of another child found in Reuter's house are all about. Neither Klara nor psychologist Prof. Schattenberg manages to find access to Rebecca. Only on Kai Perlmannshe reacts, he is her new "educator". Perlmann feels uncomfortable in this role.
Because Rebecca has to be protected – but Klara Blum and Perlmann have to find out whether the second girl was in Reuters' sadistic violence. "Tatort: Rebecca", written by Marco Wiersch, confronts Klara Blum and Kai Perlmann with psychological borderline situations in which Perlmann in particular has to prove himself. The film deals intensively and movingly with the effects of a religiously veiled extremism, exercised on the young girl Rebecca. In the production by the young director Umut Dag, Gro Swantja Kohlhof impressively embodies the distraught and disturbing title character. 

While a funeral feast is taking place in a restaurant for the well-known director of a school for the deaf, a woman dies having sex in the hotel room one floor up. Georg, her sex partner, calls a friend to dispose of the body. He feels unobserved during the phone call in the car, but Ben, a deaf guest at the funeral service, reads the phone conversation from his lips and then tries to find the perpetratorblackmail. After the police have found and identified the body, Chief Inspector Jens Stellbrink and his team first investigate among the guests of the funeral home, who are not connected to the dead person. But when a young woman who is hard of hearing is found murdered, Stellbrink holds the key to the solution because both cases seem to be linked via Ben.

The supervisory complaint is difficult for inspector Peter Faber, he got into an argument with the police psychologist in the evening – and now shots are fired in Dortmund harbor: Faber is just in time to save one of the two people floating in the water from drowning. The other can only be recovered dead. When inspector Martina Bönisch sees the body, she immediately makes the connection to an old missing person case that had pushed the young policewoman to her limits 14 years earlier. Now that chief inspectors Faber and Bönisch are biased for different reasons, inspectors Daniel Kossik and Nora Dalay are particularly challenged.

The successful music manager Udo Hausberger is found strangled in his luxurious property shortly before the final round of a talent show. In search of the perfect orgasm, he seems to have strangled himself. However, his wife Angelika takes this rather calmly, as she has repeatedly warned him of the dangers of his unusual sex practices. The already irritated investigators Fellner and Eisner are then also confronted with Angelika's relationship with the much younger Benny Raggl and first have to process this sexual openness. When a crumpled piece of paper is found in the victim's throat during the autopsy, there can no longer be any talk of an accident. Hausberger had dominated and at the same time divided the Austrian music scene, which is why everyone in their environment seems to have a motive. However, the investigators found the lyrics to a song on the note and it is clear to them that someone wanted to set an example. The trackleads her to the up-and-coming talent Aris Graf, who as a finalist is given the best chance of winning.
Harald Krassnitzer and Adele Neuhauser shine in their 14th case as a humorous investigative duo. This time the team from Austria is confronted with the game about the dreams and wishes of talented artists. The director Michi Riebl, who has experience in crime fiction, could be won over for his second "crime scene". In this episode, screenwriter Uli Brée takes a bitter look at the casting industry and the Austrian music scene. Actor and singer Rafael Haider collaborated with his father on the film music and composed his own song for the fictional talent show. Also back is Thomas Stipsits as detective assistant Manfred Schimpf, who is eager to learn. Other roles include Sabrina Rupp, Aglaia Szyszkowitz, Michael Steinocher, Ruth Brauer-Kvam, Susi Stach, Claudia Kottal and Michou Friesz.

Bodybuilder Tarim Kosic is murdered in a Ludwigshafen parking garage. When examining his DNA, it turns out that Kosic was the alleged perpetrator in a rape case a few weeks ago. The young dancer Marie Rainers was injured so badly that she has been in a coma ever since. Day and night her mother Birte sits desperately at the sickbed - is it conceivable that in her pain she became a murderer out of revenge? Lena Odenthal, Mario Kopper and Johanna Sternbut also get on the trail of the young rapper Yago Torres. He claims to be in love with Marie, but has not succeeded, as reported by her friend Evelyn. Does he come into question as the perpetrator because he wanted to prove his love? When Lena Odenthal and her team find out that Kosic's buddy Daniel Peters was also involved in the rape, they hope to get further with his help. But when Kopper and Johanna interrogate Stern Peters, he collapses and dies.

A well-prepared action with the drug investigation is to take place at a freeway parking lot. But instead of arresting Milan Kostic, the alleged murderer and successor to a drug kingpin, along with his goods, Lannert, Bootz and their colleagues are faced with a shocking sight: 23 people have died while fleeing to Germany. Convinced that Kostic is to blame for this death, Thorsten Lannert pursues the suspected smuggler. Lela, who fled Africa, is supposed to testify against him. But Kostic takes the wounded Lela to a refugee home. Thorsten Lannert succeeds in chasing, but he runs into a trap. Although he is injured himself, he manages to keep Kostic and his sister Mitra in their hiding place in the home.
While Sebastian Bootz searches the home to find Thorsten Lannert and the suspects, he uses all his powers of persuasion and nerves of steel in a deadlock. He must succeed in persuading Milan to give up. Because a new transport is already on the way and more refugees could die horribly if the transporter is not found in time... The latest crime scene from Stuttgart, "In the Promised Land", is about the dangerous path taken by refugees and the role of smugglers.
What predominates in the business of the smugglers, the unscrupulous human trafficking or the help for desperate refugees? What are traffickers willing to do when it comes to saving their own skins? In the direct confrontation between Thorsten Lannert and the Kostics, it's not just pistol against pistol, but the question of conscience and responsibility becomes a weapon. The film by author Christian Jeltsch and director Züli Aladag lasts only a few hours, and most of the atmospheric story takes place in the middle of the refugee home.

Murder in a villa district: Klaus Hartmann is stabbed to death in broad daylight in his own kitchen while his wife Carmen is waiting for him in the car with the engine running. At the same time, daughter Laura and her boyfriend Adrian Tarrach disappear without a trace. The young man with the flawless demeanor was making lofty plans for the future of the couple. But now the forensics have found his fingerprints on the crime tool. Immediately the inspectors Max Ballauf and Freddy Schenk get the hint about Adrian's past with drug possession and car theft. His home doesn't fit in with the chic residential area in which his girlfriend grew up either: he lives with his mother Pia in a suburb of Cologne. But Adrian and Laura didn't get in touch here either.
Even Adrian's buddies and Laura's classmates don't want to have heard from the two. But Laura's big party for her 18th birthday was just around the corner. Only when a second murder occurs in a bar do Ballauf and Schenk at least see Adrian - on a surveillance video.

In their first case, the Dresden detectives Karin Gorniak and Henni Sieland are confronted with a brutal murder. The hit world is in turmoil. One of the local heroes, Toni Derlinger from the singing duo "Toni & Tina", was found dead in the wings during rehearsals for the entertainment show "Here Plays the Music". The investigators have the stage blocked and get an overview of the personal environment of the dead man. At first glance, Toni was popular with everyone and had no enemies. His wife and singing partner Tina is in despair, and longtime manager Rollo looks as if he has lost a son. It's hard to imagine a gruesome murder in this environment, which many fans appreciate as the last bastion of an ideal world.
Was it a disappointed fan who felt rejected? Or was it about money? Apparently things weren't going well for Tina and Toni lately, the two were clearly on the decline. The offspring in the Schlager business pushes relentlessly, folk music continues to develop. Maik Pschorrek, a slick young manager and concert promoter, is conquering the market with dubious methods and has signed up-and-coming stars such as the trendy Laura and the popular rock'n'rollers "Herzensbrecher".
Did Toni want to switch to Maik Pschorrek shortly before his death to revitalize his career? Couldn't Rollo face the fact that his artists, whom he had once brought together and built up over many years, are leaving him? When the murder weapon with Rollo's fingerprints is found, everything points in the direction of the lonely manager. While the investigators Henni Sieland and Karin Gorniak penetrate deeper and deeper into this world of reality and appearance, their colleague Maria Mohr, a young police officer, discovers the crucial clue and puts herself in great danger. In addition to the case, Karin Gorniak also has to deal privately with the issue of violence. Her son Aaron wrote a corresponding rap text. His class teacher, Ms. Schwarz, thinks that Karin, who is a single parent, is overwhelmed and that the teacher is hysterical.
Karin's attempts to spend more time with Aaron fail miserably. Her colleague Henni Sieland, on the other hand, would like nothing more than to have a child with her boyfriend Ole, who, however, often behaves like a child himself. The first "crime scene" with the new team from Dresden.

Ava Fleury (Ella Rumpf) is a student at an elite boarding school in the Lucerne area. She is hit by a truck on a country road at night. The driver fell asleep at the wheel and did not see the young woman in the darkness. The next day, Flückiger (Stefan Gubser) and Ritschard (Delia Mayer) arrest the suspect, Fritz Loosli (Urs Jucker). He admits that he was the driver of the vehicle and that he panicked and left the scene of the accident. At the headquarters he unexpectedly meets the dead girl's father, Laurant Fleury (Luc Feit). He vents all his grief to Loosli in an outburst of anger. One quickly suspects that Fleury does not want his daughter's death to go unpunished. After the autopsy of the corpse, however, one thing is clear: Loosli is not to blame. Ava was already dead when she was hit by his truck.
Someone hit her with a heavy object and placed her on the street. Inspectors Flückiger and Ritschard begin investigating at the boarding school and in Ava's circle of friends. You meet the offspring of the political and economic elite from all over the world. For Flückiger, to whom any use of power against the As the bottom line goes, the investigations are not an easy undertaking - all the more so as the tracks lead to the brother of an emir, who is visiting Lucerne as a minister and enjoys diplomatic immunity. Flückiger increasingly finds himself in a conflict of interest with the Federal Police and risks the investigation becoming a state affair. In addition to Delia Mayer and Stefan Gubser, the tenth Swiss "Tatort" again features Fabienne Hadorn as forensic scientist and Jean-Pierre Cornu as police chief Eugen Mattmann.
The episode roles feature well-known Swiss actors such as Urs Jucker as the truck driver Fritz Loosli, Esther Gemsch as the energetic boarding school director Elisabeth Ammann, Samuel Weiss as the federal police officer who has come under pressure and Luc Feit as Ava's grieving father. In addition, young shooting stars such as Ella Rumpf as Ava and Flurin Giger as Tom complement the ensemble. Nadim Jarrar plays the role of young minister Ali Al-Numi. Markus Welter was won over to direct "Tatort: Kleine Prinzen". The script for "Tatort – Little Princes" was penned by the two authors Lorenz Langenegger and Stefan Brunner. 

A dead man is found at Hanover Airport. Inspector Torsten Falke and Inspector Julia Grosz from the Federal Police quickly realize that the man fell victim to a gang of smugglers operating at the airport. Apparently the dead man had dangerously got in the way of the gang during one of their actions. Another passenger has also disappeared. It turns out that an IS returnee apparently managed to slip through a security hole in the airport and get into the city unnoticed. Is he planning an assassination? The two federal police officers have little time to prevent a possible catastrophe. 

It can still be seen from the right-hand drive of the car: Ellen Berlinger (Heike Makatsch), recently chief inspector in Freiburg, has spent the last few years in England. Now she has returned to her hometown – but has not yet brought herself to reconnect with her mother. Because Ellen Berlinger has to rush to an assignment on her first day at work, there is no time for training or getting to know her colleagues in detail. You seem to be fine with that. It is enough for her if she gets to know her new boss Volker Gaus (Holger Kunkel), her colleague Henrik Koch (Max Thommes) or forensic technician Frank Hensel at work. Small talk isn't Ellen's thing. The team has to process their astonishment at the new colleague's pregnancy anyway.
The case leads Ellen Berlinger to the benefits department of the job center. Employee Holger Kunath was found there early in the morning at his desk, strangled with a cable tie. His computer monitor shows a suicide note, but is it believable? Ellen Berlinger doubts. Working in the job center is not for sensitive minds, employees are often exposed to aggression or threats from their customers. With Holger Kunath, they mainly related to housing issues. Expensive renovations of inner-city districts and the conversion of rented apartments into owner-occupiers are also crowding out previous tenants in Freiburg, and this includes many job center customers. Fate also threatens Cornelia Mai, who shows up at the job center with her 16-year-old daughter Melinda.
Ms. Mai could be angry with Holger Kunath because her rent was paid through the job center. Ellen Berlinger wonders why Kunath didn't transfer the money, because now the termination will take effect. But Ms. Mai is more sad than angry, resigned, she bunkers in her apartment, Melinda can't change anything about that. When Ellen Berlinger visits Kunath's wife Jutta, she experiences an almost mirror-inverted situation: the Kunath family has overstretched themselves financially with a condominium in a chic Freiburg showcase district. The debt has been growing for a while. Instead of mourning, Mrs. Kunath and her son Titus now have to worry about their apartment. The teenagers around Titus Kunath, Melinda Mai or their friends distract themselves from the family problems in their own way.
Titus' girlfriend Harriet likes the impotence game, which the youngsters call the passout game or bio-pot, and enjoys the short, exciting intoxication caused by pushing away the oxygen in the brain. Melinda makes no secret of the fact that, unlike her friend Ruth, she doesn't believe in the game. Instead, she is interested in Titus, who probably didn't think too much of his father. In fact, Holger Kunath turns out to be a man with nasty secrets. He had an affair with at least one of his customers and it is clear to Ellen that someone must have known about it, because there is a photo as evidence, but only Kunath himself can be seen on it. Ellen and her team conclude that Kunath was easy to pressure, which made him interesting to people like Bauinvestor Fest.
He wants to vacate the building where the Mais still live as quickly as possible, using subtle methods such as usurping authority and destroying pipes. With Ellen, on the other hand, he tries to flatter himself. Without success, of course, she doesn't react to rasps of sweetheart. She could have inherited her uncompromising manner from her mother. Because when Ellen finally decides to approach Edelgard Berlinger again, she is unequivocally rejected. Edelgard's aversion to Ellen, who went to the police and left her daughter's care to her grandmother, seems unshakable. 16-year-old Niina, who suspects that Ellen is her unknown mother, would react differently. But Ellen keeps avoiding this encounter.
However, when she finds out that Niina is also friends with Melinda, she realizes that they will possibly have something to do with each other in the course of the investigation... In the "Tatort" special "Five Minutes Heaven" Heike Makatsch shows that she also as "Tatort" commissioner knows how to convince. Her Ellen Berlinger is determined, rather unapproachable and complex, and one suspects that there are some unsolved mysteries in her life. Thomas Wendrich's screenplay leads them into an acute urban conflict area, to the problem of the gentrification of inner-city districts, the victims of which are not least the recipients of social benefits. Director Katrin Gebbe, for whom "Five Minutes of Heaven" is the television film premiere, staged an atmospheric "crime scene" with harmonious milieus in which the images speak most of all.

Ferentari is the name of a slum in Bucharest. The early confrontation with struggle, brutalization, manipulation and violence drives many of the women growing up there into prostitution. On their journeys through European whorehouses they meet thousands of men, change places every two to three weeks, cannot make any connections and earn good money. The film begins with the conviction of a Romanian who, out of greed and under the influence of alcohol, abused and strangled his 19-year-old cousin, the prostitute Aurelia Rubin (Anne-Marie Waldeck). For Leitmayr (Udo Wachtveitl), who led the investigations five months ago, this is one case among many - milieu. The perp totally drunk, a quick confession, done.
Batic (Miroslav Nemec) had held back from investigating because he had a childhood friendship with the brothel operator Harry Schneider (Robert Palfrader), where Aurelia was supposed to work. But the total indifference of the defendant irritated him. Back in the office, he asks again for the file of the convicted Romanian. Why? Because in all his years of service he has never experienced "that someone confesses within 30 minutes of being arrested and then during the whole time not once tries to plead his guilt by even that much (2 millimeters) Shortly thereafter, the two inspectors have a bitter realization that they have neglected the case and shot one buck after the other .
Now they know that the dead Aurelia was out with another prostitute, Mia Petrescu (Mercedes Müller), on the evening of the crime. This girl has disappeared without a trace since that night five months ago. When they question Schneider, he is absolutely direct. Aurelia was reported missing by him the very next day. Schneider simply explains that he didn't report Mia, who didn't come back after the evening, as missing: "Hookers come and hookers go.
What do we have? We have seven houses and between 350 and 400 women go through them every year, so I can't possibly know everyone by name, please!" The fact that Aurelia's disappearance was reported and Mia's was not, is only the first indication that the convicted cousin presumably bought by Aurelia to cover up a crime that has a much deeper abyss. What happened the night Aurelia died and Mia disappeared? How are Schneider and his henchman Siggi (Andreas Lust) involved and what is the role of Benny (Max von der Groeben), the 22-year-old driver of a laundry who had a naked girl run into his car the night Aurelia died? An anniversary crime scene with a case where the police should have stayed out of it

Caught up by the past, Chief Inspector Anna Janneke (Margarita Broich) reaches her limits. The convicted murderer Alexander Nolte (Nicholas Ofzcarek) is on the loose again and tries to contact her. During her time as a police psychologist, she prepared the report that brought Nolte to life imprisonment. After almost 20 years he has served his sentence, was released and now works in the dental laboratory of Roland Burmeister (Sabin Tambrea). Alexander Nolte is looked after by the psychologist Helene Kaufmann (Ursina Lardi). The homeless man Martin Busche (Manuel Harder) is found stabbed to death in a driveway. This murder remains a mystery to the two Frankfurt inspectors Paul Brix (Wolfram Koch) and Anna Janneke.
There are hardly any clues, no motive can be found, the investigations are slow and ultimately lead nowhere. Anna Janneke is emotionally very upset because Alexander Nolte invades her life. The situation becomes dramatic when he ambushes her at home and her terrible suspicions are confirmed. In the new case of Janneke and Brix, truth and seduction lie side by side. Third case of the Frankfurt investigative team Anna Janneke (Margarita Broich) and Paul Brix (Wolfram Koch).

The body of Roy Wei slot, who worked at the tapping plant, is discovered in the blast furnace slag of a steelworks near Weimar. Inspectors Kira Dorn and Lessing quickly realize that he was murdered. Roy lived with his sister Siegrid, with whom, according to Siegrid, he had a close relationship. But the commissars find out that there was a war between the siblings, against which the battle of Jena and Auerstedt was a lesser dispute. Siegrid apparently hated her brother. She blamed Roy for her destroyed happiness in life with her ex-fiancé Karsten aka "Flamingo", who lost a leg through Roy's fault. This tragic event was the beginning of an unprecedented downward spiral for Karsten. Now he lives as an alcoholic wreck in an abandoned gas station.
And Karsten worked an extra shift at the blast furnace on the night of the murder, he is a possible culprit, as is his buddy Frank. He is connected to the prostitute Irina Kratochvílová, alias Vanessa Fink, who works in a mobile home on the outskirts of town. The detectives find out that Irina was hired by Frank and Karsten, who wants revenge on Roy, to extort money from Roy. The investigation is made more difficult by the fact that the inspectors have different ideas about the domestic future of their small family. Lessing has the unsettling thought that Kira might want to leave Weimar. In addition, the inspectors have to deal with their new colleague Ganser from forensic technology, who, as their boss Kurt Stich aptly puts it, is "a real ass cracker".

dr Patrick Wangila was stabbed. The first indications point to a relationship act: the doctor from the Congo was married to a German woman, but apparently he was having an affair. Ballauf and Schenk quickly set their sights on his widow Vivien Wangila. But Wangila's clinic colleague Dr. Sabine Schmuck and the nurse Angelika Meyer get caught up in contradictions. In addition, the commissioners are puzzled as to whether there is a connection between this act and the death of a young Congolese woman who recently threw herself out of a window during a police raid on a shelter for refugees. Then Théo Wangila appears on the scene. Like his brother Patrick, he was also recognized as a war refugee a few years ago and has built a new life in Cologne. Now he wants to find out on his own who murdered his brother.

What are Professor Karl-Friedrich Boerne and public prosecutor Wilhelmine Klemm doing together on the dance floor? Inspector Frank Thiel can't help but smile. He, too, ended up in the dance sport community in Münster – albeit for professional reasons. A body found in the Wolbeck forest is that of the dancer Elmira Dumbrowa. Her former dance partners are shocked by the news that the young Moldovan has been murdered. Two of them are particularly affected: Marie lived with Elmira, Jonas was in love with the dancer. But actually there is no time to mourn. The formation is about to face an important competition that could catapult them into the top class of dance sport. Club president and star orthopaedist Dr.
Winfried Steul and trainer Andreas Roth are putting a lot of pressure on the team – they would have liked to keep the news of Elmira's death under the dance floor, like so many others. Then a severed man's foot is found in the woods near the crime scene. Thiel and Boerne ask themselves: is this about a double murder?

Bremen in a state of emergency, the inspectors Inga Lürsen (Sabine Postel) and Stedefreund (Oliver Mommsen) are under high pressure: A group led by environmental activist Luisa Christensen (Friederike Becht) threatens to terrorize the city. She demands a confession from the scientist Dr. Urs Render (Manfred Zapatka) on his research for a biotechnology company, but Render is silent. The blackmailers are ready for the worst, the hastily convened crisis management team headed by Helmut Lorentz (Barnaby Metschurat) and commissioner Joost Brauer (Werner Wölbern) fears the worst. Does the idiosyncratic BKA colleague Linda Selb (Luise Wolfram) help Inga Lürsen and Stedefreund in the race against time?

One early summer morning, Steffi Schwinn, daughter of landlords, finds her mother lying strangled in the inn. In the bone collection of the Institute of Anatomy at the University of Würzburg, a doctoral student comes across a stranger's skull. And in front of the Nuremberg police headquarters, a woman pitches a tent to protest the police's refusal to search for her missing adult son. Three cases that deal with the longing for the opposite of loneliness and the right to care. At the heart of an almost perfect crime.

Their third case leads Berlin chief inspectors Nina Rubin (Meret Becker) and Robert Karow (Mark Waschke) to the scene of a gruesome murder in a shopping center car park. Katharina Werner, mother of a son, dies there after being brutally run over by a jeep. The surveillance cameras show a car with tinted windows, but the driver and the course of events cannot be identified. The keeper of the jeep, Birgit Hahne (Valerie Koch), is targeted by the investigations. She used to be friends with Katharina, but then the neighbors took different paths. However, they seem to have shared one interest until the end – namely that of Katharina's husband Carsten Werner (Steffen Münster). Despite a possible motive, Birgit Hahne stubbornly protests her innocence.
Using the video surveillance of the parking garage, Rubin and Karow also come across three girls who were there at the time of the crime: Louisa (CosimaHenman), Paula (Emma Drogunova) and Charlotte (Valeria Eisenbart), schoolmates of Katharina Werner's son Ben (Béla Gabor Lenz). The three of them were at the shopping center on the day of the crime to "party" because it was Charlotte's birthday. Confronted with the murder in the parking garage, the pubescent trio of girls reacts with complete indifference. Much more important to them than anything else is their smartphone, which they use day and night. Nina Rubin and Robert Karow have to deal with unsympathetic young people and overwhelmed parents and come across a wall of silence during their investigations. When they try to break through, they only earn scorn and ridicule from the teenagers.
Nina Rubin in particular gets to the edge of her self-control in the face of such callousness. Parallel to the current case, Karow is intensively searching for a mobile phone video that is connected to the murder of his former partner Gregor Maihack.

The only witness is only eight: When the Habdank family's house is broken into in the middle of the night, little Anna is able to hide. Shortly thereafter, her younger brother and her mother are dead. Inspector Max Ballauf finds the girl hours later in the basement of the house. Anna is in shock. She doesn't want to talk about what she experienced or saw. Freddy Schenk asks his colleague to proceed cautiously with the investigation. The girl first finds accommodation with her aunt Hilde and her husband Gunnar. Even Anna's father Sven Habdank, who has just returned from a business trip, is hardly available to the inspectors.
Does the assassination attempt on the family have anything to do with his job? Habdank is a tax auditor and is considered by his colleagues to be a "tough dog who bites his teeth": Both the journalist Ole Winthir and the building contractor Pit Benteler, who had to disclose their accounts, are not on good terms with him. Or is it more like murder out of jealousy? There was obviously tension in the relationship between Sven Habdank and his partner Freya. Was there something going on between Sven's brother Michael and Freya?

The 19th case of the Stuttgart detectives Thorsten Lannert and Sebastian Bootz is about the murder of Elena Stemmle, an acting student with part-time jobs at an online escort service and at the software company Bluesky. There she was a test subject for the social analysis program of the same name, the pride of managing director Mea Welsch and developer David Bogmann. Bluesky is a self-learning program that uses big data to predict future violent behavior. While this is intended to prevent crime, Lannert and Bootz suspect David Bogmann of past violence. Because the police can also correlate data and in the Stemmle case they point to David Bogmann as the likely perpetrator.
When a video surfaced online,comes from Bogmann's IP address and shows Elena Stemmle's presumed death, the noose tightens around the developer. But he has completely different concerns at the moment, because he fears that Bluesky is about to get out of control. Cameras and sensors record us, data is compiled into profiles, and last but not least, big data is a gigantic possibility for surveillance. In the new "Tatort" from Stuttgart, author and director Niki Stein deals with the logic of data analysis and the question of who actually has power over us and our data. The "Tatort: HAL" takes place in the near future, which may be present sooner than we expect. And to which not only the Stuttgart "Tatort" commissioners have to behave.

In a district on the outskirts of Vienna, the police make a horrific discovery of a corpse: the victim, a Turkish businessman, had his tongue and both hands cut off while he was still alive. Outwardly he was the owner of a doner kebab restaurant. For Lieutenant Colonel Moritz Eisner (Harald Krassnitzer) and his colleague Bibi Fellner (Adele Neuhauser) it quickly becomes clear that they are dealing with a power struggle in the milieu of organized crime. The dead man's apartment has all the hallmarks of an illegal brothel and the kebab shop apparently served as a money laundering facility. Through Daniela Vopelka (Kristina Sprenger) from the Organized Crime Unit, Eisner meets the young Ukrainian Victoria Oshchypko (Janina Rudenska), who was forced into prostitution in the victim's house.
From her, the officers learn that the dead man belonged to a highly professional human trafficking ring that illegally brings refugees to Austria to exploit them as slave labor or prostitutes. During their research, they meetInvestigators on an old acquaintance of Fellner's from her time at Sitte, the cocky pimp Andy Mittermeier (Michael Fuith). He knew the murdered man and now seems to want to take over his territory. When Eisner tries to increase the pressure on Mittermeier, he brutally makes it clear to him that nothing and nobody will stop him. In their 15th joint case, the Austrian "Tatort" investigators Harald Krassnitzer and Adele Neuhauser in Vienna have to deal with a brutal network of human trafficking and organized crime.
They are confronted with an opponent who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. In his cleverly constructed crime story, screenwriter and director Thomas Roth also touches on current topics such as smuggling and the exploitation of refugees. The investigators are getting reinforcements this time from the former "Soko Kitzbühel" commissioner Kristina Sprenger. Janina Rudenska, Michael Fuith and Daniel Wagner also play other roles.

When the coffin of the German Gisela Aichinger is carried out of the apartment of the Transitus organization, the attendants have to fight their way through a crowd of people. The members of the religious association Pro Vita protest against euthanasia. Suddenly the dead man's son appears. Martin Aichinger appears confused, threatens those present and claims that his mother did not go to Switzerland voluntarily to die. That same evening, dying attendant Helen Mathys is knocked out and smothered with a plastic bag. Commissioners Reto Flückiger and Liz Ritschard first talk to Dr. Herman. The founder and director of Transitus explains to investigators how an assisted suicide usually works. The day before, the two volunteer Transitus employees Jonas Sauber and Nadine Camenisch, together with the murder victim, were responsible for carrying out the terminal care. Because the main suspect, Martin Aichinger, used force to obtain their addresses and went into hiding, Flückiger and Ritschard suspect that the two are in danger. Josef Thommen, leader and charismatic head, is also suspiciousby ProVita. Apparently he has an informant who tells him when the next terminal care will take place. Thommen seems to be fine with any means to hinder Transitus' activities. He is also by no means the morally upright personality that he likes to portray to the outside world. The Lucerne commissioners get caught between the fronts of supporters and opponents of euthanasia.
The eleventh Swiss "Tatort: Freitod" is about the attitude towards death - about voluntary and involuntary dying. The fictional organization Transitus prepares a dignified and self-determined death for those who travel from abroad. The religious group Pro Vita, on the other hand, believes that only God can determine the time of death, no matter how sick the person is. And finally there is the killing, in which a person is brutally taken from life. Delia Mayer and Stefan Gubser as well as Fabienne Hadorn as head of forensics and Jean-Pierre Cornu as police chief. Martin Butzke, Martin Rapold, Andreas Matti, Anna Schinz, Sebastian Krähenbühl and Lukas Kubik can be seen in the most important episodic roles. 

Finally live out the feeling of revenge against Prof. Boerne and murder Boerne - the scientist and professor Harald Götz (Peter Jordan) can hardly think of anything else. He doesn't hide that from his psychotherapist, Dr. Corinna Adam (Oda Thormeyer). While Boerne has just landed the funding for a prestigious research project, Götz has been on his own in the laboratory for years. He searches feverishlyfor a medicine for his seriously ill wife Martina. But after she is found shot dead in her wheelchair, the case is clear for Inspector Thiel: Harald Götz is an urgent suspect. Especially since neighbors saw him fleeing the house. In the evening, Götz gains access to Professor Boerne's ceremony in a restaurant. Boerne urgently needs the support of Commissioner Thiel - more than ever. 

Even good people can die. The popular social entrepreneur Hans-Martin Taubert falls off a bridge and survives with serious injuries. Dresden investigators Henni Sieland and Karin Gorniak meet three homeless witnesses who claim that Taubert was thrown off the bridge. Taubert founded Berberhilfe, a company that takes care of housing the homeless and other people in need. He got rich through the poor and made no secret of it publicly. The three homeless people claim to be Taubert's security. He's been threatened a lot lately. Taubert's brother Hajo is also targetedinvestigators. Significantly less business-savvy than Taubert, Hajo had borrowed money from him for a shady venture. Taubert insisted, brotherly love or not, on repayment.
Shortly thereafter, another attack on Taubert is carried out in the hospital... The work for the people on the fringes of society is so lucrative that everyone fights for profit with all means. The inspectors also target Taubert's competitors. They get unwanted support from Wiebke Lohkamp, a colleague from the fraud department, with whose help the investigators discover a whole new side of their boss. 

Collision in the middle of the city: Ralf Nowak was knocked over on purpose. Apart from that, the two perpetrators in the off-road vehicle found it on the motorcyclist's backpack. But the rocker puts up a fight. There is an exchange of gunfire. Two dead and one seriously injured is the sad balance sheet at the crime scene just a little later. For the inspectors Peter Faber, Martina Bönisch, Nora Dalay and Daniel Kossik, everything indicates that this is a conflict in the criminal rocker scene. Of the"Miners" President Thomas Vollmer was released from custody on the same day. While he was in prison, Luan Berisha led the troupe - and he has no intention of obediently subordinating himself again in the future. The Dortmund homicide team is also seething. Daniel Kossik has initiated disciplinary proceedings against his boss Peter Faber. But internal investigator Johannes Proell found little willingness to cooperate during his interrogations.

An unbelievable fact: On a walk through Munich, Ayumi Schröder, her husband Ben and their six-year-old son Taro saw a man lying in front of a bank branch who seemed to be looking for help. Ben thinks he's drunk and wants to help him when the stranger stabs him multiple times out of nowhere. Just like that, for no apparent reason. Ben collapses, bleeding, in front of his Japanese wife, son and numerous witnesses. The perpetrator is able to flee, and a short time later Ben dies in the hospital. Batic seems nervous, not only because of the horrible act. He hardly sleeps anymore, is irritable and off track. The encounter with Taro and his mother finishes him off. Maurer puts Leitmayr in charge of the Soko. He too has noticed that Batic isn't quite up to speed at the moment.
Questioning the countless eyewitnesses reveals a confusing puzzle for the inspectors. Because despite the many reports, there are no concrete clues for their investigations, because everyone saw the crime and the perpetrator differently. Everyone has their own truth. Almost nothing useful emerges from a large number of observations. But then a first success: a handkerchief from a garbage can near the scene of the crime, a splash of the perpetrator's blood, a DNA trace. Leitmayr orders a mass genetic test. Thousands of men who were in the vicinity of the crime scene at the time of the crime and could be identified via their cell phones have to submit a saliva sample. Under high pressure, Leitmayr, Batic, Kalli and Semmler are sitting with numerous colleagues in a converted police gym and taking rehearsals.
For weeks without a match, without success. During this time, Ayumi Schröder comes to the station almost every day to make new statements about the crime. She keeps coming up with new details. When Maurer finally dissolves the Soko due to lack of success without the perpetrator being caught, the investigators' nerves are on edge: "That bastard is still running around out there." Together with the case analyst Christine Lerch, Batic and Leitmayr go back to the crime scene and investigate something that may have been overlooked before. Lerch develops the thesis that the perpetrator lives close to the scene of the crime and that he planned the crime for a long time. He kills for pleasure and not for any specific motive. Local residents are once again the focus of the investigation.
Ayumi Schröder can hardly stand it any longer, she finally needs clarity as to why and by whom her husband was killed. Batic advises her to return to Japan. But she can't. She needs certainty. Then a second murder occurs that appears to be related to the first. 

Vanessa Arnold (Adina Vetter), co-founder of a Bremen startup company, dies in a car accident. The Bremen commissioners Inga Lürsen (Sabine Postel) and Stedefreund (Oliver Mommsen) quickly ask themselves whether it really was an accident – indications raise doubts, there are possible perpetrators and motives: together with three friends, Vanessa Arnold has many years in invested in the development of a digital assistant that is about to be launched. This innovation could make the young entrepreneurs rich and successful.

The 17-year-old student Julia (Mala Emde) appears at the police station and accuses her brother of murdering her classmate Maria. The next morning, Maria's body is actually recovered from the fjord. The investigator duo Klaus Borowski (Axel Milberg) and Sarah Brandt (Sibel Kekilli) find clues as to why Julia's brother could have committed the crime, but the inspectors cannot explain Julia's betrayal. It is only when they discover that she has secretly converted to Islam that light slowly seems to come into the darkness. But Borowski and Brandt are not alone with their investigations: the state security department at the LKA headed by Kesting (Jürgen Prochnow) is apparently pursuing its own unscrupulous interests.

It's already dark and they're standing at the bus stop. Charlotte Lindholm (Maria Furtwängler) and Klaus Borowski (Axel Milberg) - two chief inspectors who neither know nor want to get to know each other. They have just left a police seminary for different reasons. Charlotte has a private date. Borowski flees from a pushy seminar participant, the aging policeman Affeld (Hans Uwe Bauer). All three end up in the cab of an angry andhighly aggressive man (Florian Bartholomäi). He just found out that the love of his life is going to marry his mortal enemy tomorrow. It's not a good idea to provoke this man. Affeld does it anyway. A short time later he is dead. Borowski and Lindholm are tied up in the back seat. And as different as they assess the situation, they agree on one point. If they don't stop the driver, they will die.

A serial killer is on the loose. Apparently peacefully, as in a suicide, the victims depart from life. Murot and the LKA stage a murder that differs in modus operandi from the previous ones in order to provoke the perpetrator. He actually allows himself to be lured out of reserve and is caught, but the murders cannot be proven to him. Gradually it turns out that all the murders had something to do with Murot and that this is supposed to be his last victim. Right from the start, the perpetrator pursues a perfidious plan that poses existential questions to both Murot and Wächter. In addition to Ulrich Tukur and Barbara Philipp, other roles include Jens Harzer, Ygal Gleim, Hans Löw, Corinna Kirchhoff and Marina Galic.
Armin Alker was behind the camera, Börries Hahn was responsible for the set design and Peter Senkel was responsible for the sound. Stefan Blau made the cut and Sonja Hesse took care of the costume design. Uli Dautel was in charge of production, Liane Jessen and Jörg Himstedt were in charge of editing. "Long live death" is the name of the sixth crime scene that Hessischer Rundfunk (hr) produced with Ulrich Tukur as Wiesbaden LKA investigator Felix Murot and Barbara Philipp as his assistant Magda Wächter. Sebastian Marka directed the film and Erol Yesilkaya wrote the script. 

The cases that Klara Blum, Kai Perlmann and Matteo Lüthi are dealing with in the last Lake Constance "crime scene" are strange and full of mysteries. "What's worth living for," he says, and that's neither a question nor an answer, but an opinion - an attitude. Because attitude is required when interrogating the widow of a not only notorious, but also much loved, tortured right-wing mastermind. If you look at the poisoninginvestigating an investment fraudster, even if you didn't wish him any well-being. When you meet three old wise maidens who could be witches or saints. Lüthi, Perlmann and Blum are investigating in a world where thousands of workers are being burned to death and the culprit is bathing in crocodile tears. What is worth living for is, as Klara Blum says, "that there is justice". And that's not the last word.

"Dunkelfeld" leads the secret of the previous three rbb "crime scenes" with Nina Rubin (Meret Becker) and Robert Karow (Mark Waschke) to the final climax. The mystery surrounding Karow's past and the death of his partner Gregor Maihack, who was shot dead two years ago during an undercover operation, is solved. The exact circumstances of death are still unclear. Was Karow himself involved? Now the key witness Andi Berger (Robert Gallinowski) wants to make the decisive statement. But on the way to the public prosecutor Hemrich (Holger Handtke), Karow and Berger are ambushed. Berger dies before he can tell Karow where the cellphone video showing Maihack's death is hidden. A little later , Gregor Maihack's widow Christine (Ursina Lardi), with whom Karow had a relationship years ago, is kidnapped.
And shortly afterwards Karow himself disappeared. On the very day that Nina Rubin took the day off to celebrate her son Kaleb's (Louie Betton) bar mitzvah, she and Anna Feil (Carolyn Genzkow) have to find out where Karow is and if he's still alive. The search becomes a race against time. "Dunkelfeld" leads Robert Karow and Nina Rubin deep into a deadly jungle of drugs and corruption. And to the question: What can be seen on the mysterious mobile phone video? Does Robert Karow actually have anything to do with his partner's death?

Completely upset, Betti Graf (Cornelia Froboess) appears at the police headquarters with Anna Janneke (Margarita Broich) and Paul Brix (Wolfram Koch). She has been missing her neighbor Mr. Abendroth for days. Nils Engels (Jan Krauter) is particularly suspicious of having done something to him. All three live in their single-family homes in a Wendehammer. Nils is an IT specialist, and as such he has converted the house he inherited from his grandmother into a "smart house". The whole house is equipped with surveillance cameras, it is completely "clean". Everything about his "analogue" neighbors disturbs Nils from the ground up. They in turn blame Nils for the disappearance of various cats and dogs. In fact, Janneke and Brix find traces of blood in Abendroth's house. This could indicate an act of violence.
In the meantime, however, the two chief inspectors Janneke and Brix are already deeply involved in the disputes between the Wendehammer residents about the smart, digital and the lively, analogue world. 

While the police choir sings "Silent Night, Holy Night" in the headquarters canteen, a dead baby is laid unobserved in front of the altar in the small church at the Old South Cemetery - with a request for burial. Batic (Miroslav Nemec) and Leitmayr (Udo Wachtveitl) are stunned in front of the child's corpse. dr Steinbrecher (Robert Joseph Bartl) discovers death by asphyxiation shortly after birth. On the same day, a young Romanian (Mathilde Bundschuh), who had just given birth and collapsed on the street, was admitted to a Munich clinic. But she disappeared, allegedly picked up by her husband (Florin Piersik jr.).
At about the same time, another young Romanian (Cosmina Stratan) appeared in a doctor's office with a newborn child, desperately asking for help and fleeing when the doctor called the police. How are the two women related? What happened? During their investigations, Batic and Leitmayr track down an organized beggar clan who have set up camp on the outskirts of Munich and are hoping for big business at Christmas.
