Tatort - Inspectora Lindholm

A police officer is shot dead just outside the airport after a routine traffic violation. But Lindholm seems to recognize the shooter in the blurry security video. The investigation just gathers steam when shadowy government figures intervene and tell Lindholm to cease investigating. Naturally she doesn't.

Lindholm is called in from some days off at home to assist in the investigation of a series of killings by a sniper. Are they random? The local detective in charge is an arrogant hothead. Lindholm nevertheless puts the clues gradually together and they lead to a series of unexpected finds.

Lindholm leaves somewhere where she has just given a well-received presentation. She leaves in a borrowed car and appears sleepy at the wheel. Her GPS seems to be losing signal in the back end of nowhere when someone steps out in front of her car and she swerves and hits a tree. Then things get weird for a bit as if she's delirious. She finds herself in a small town where mysterious doings are a foot. Soon there's murder. And then another body turns up!

Lindholm is called in when a female doctor is found dead in a fire. The doctor's video diary is found providing a possible lead. Also, a disturbed teenage boy is seen near the fire, and Lindholm takes a personal interest. The doctor also was known to Lindholm's boss at the LKA, providing more complexity to the investigation.

Lindholm goes to see a soccer game with her young son. After the game she gets one of the stars to autograph a soccer ball for the boy. Later that night she receives a phone call. The body at the murder scene is none other than that same player. As she sets out to solving the case a number of suspects emerge including a shadowy person posting threats online.

Lindholm drops her son off, and then wrecks her car in a creepy town. She calls a tow truck, meanwhile one man stops to ask if she needs help. She says no, and sees the man park at a nearby house. Suddenly the man's car explodes in flames. The local detectives are only too happy to have the LKA cop there, and put her in charge. It soon develops that the victim may have led a double life.

Two young women are left in a garbage dump; one survives. Lindholm is called into investigate and the case soon involves young women from Belarus forced into prostitution. The bad guys have money and powerful friends.

In a rare continuation of a previous episode, Lindholm continues to investigate the murder/human trafficking corruption investigation with the help of a local homicide detective and her journalist friend. Seemingly making progress, she makes an error that puts her life in danger.

The chauffeur of a rich sausage entrepreneur seems to be shot by accident.
