IN GERMAN WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES Born in Germany to Turkish parents, Cenk Batu is an undercover agent with the State Bureau of Investigation (LKA) in Hamburg. His ability to analyze people and situations is put to good use as he works on a wide variety of cases ranging from industrial espionage and financial crimes to terror cells and political assassinations. Cenk Batu is part of the Tatort series, Germanys longest-running TV crime franchise.
EPISODE 1 - ON THE SUNNY SIDE: Cenk Batu has been working for months as part of a risky undercover mission on the premises of the Petermann company, an ostensibly reputable contractor. Now, of all times, Batu is sent to the hospital with a new assignment: adopting the role of a Turkish small-time criminal.
EPISODE 2 - URBAN WARFARE: Cenk Batu is conducting an investigation with Hamburg's SEK (Central Assignment Command) and apparently, some members of the unit have been illegally selling information to foreign powers.
EPISODE 3 - FORGET-ME-NOT: Cenk Batu is sent undercover as press relations officer Sinan Afra by the LKA, the German State Office of Criminal Investigation, to trace an industrial spy. Someone with international connections has been leaking secret construction plans.
EPISODE 4 - A LIFE FOR A LIFE: Cenk Batu has been planted as a driver for an organ dealer ring. When he is told to pick up 14-year-old Amelie, the girl manages to escape. Cenk is now under pressure: on the one hand, the organ dealers want him to hand over the girl, on the other he is responsible for an LKA failure.
EPISODE 5 - THE ROAD TO PARADISE: Disguised as a radical Muslim, Cenk Batu's new assignment leads him directly to Islamic circles: he has to infiltrate a terror cell in Hamburg, which is planning a devastating assassination in the port city.
EPISODE 6 - THE BALLAD OF CENK AND VALERIE Batu's latest assignment takes him behind the scenes of the financial world. He's collecting evidence to use against an inadequately transparent system of illegal financial transactions.
