It was a moment of shock that WDR came up with for the latest Dortmund “Tatort” episode: The case seems to have been solved when chief inspector Martina Bönisch was shot at the end.
The Toughe: Chief Inspector Martina Bönisch (Anna Schudt).
“Tatort” actors come and go, and writing such a departure into an episode is a challenge for screenwriters. That “Tatort” commissioners are killed “in action” like now in the Dortmund episode “Love me!” Martina Bönisch has hardly ever existed before. One still remembers the Hamburg commissioner Cenk Batu (Mehmet Kurtulus), who died brutally in the end in a hail of bullets (“The Ballad of Cenk and Valerie”, 2012).
