Episode 34

Freddy Schenk is alarmed because an arson attack has been carried out on his daughter Sonja's restaurant. In the burned-out "magic lamp" the police find a body that has been charred beyond recognition. Freddy Schenk begins the investigation together with Max Ballauf. But first he wants to ensure that Sonja, his granddaughter Frida and Sonja's partner Karim find shelter in a police shelter. After the fire it is impossible for them to stay at home, directly above the restaurant. The KTU has not yet found any evidence at the crime scene that would indicate why the fire was started. What is clear is that the dead man appears to be the arsonist himself. However, he did not die in the fire, according to forensic pathologist Dr. Roth states...

Protective measures

Episode 2

In Dortmund's Westpark, Jan Pawlak and Rosa Herzog stand in front of a large pool of blood, but there is no body. However, Andreas Richter, the head of a Dortmund real estate company, is missing. His business model has made him a number of opponents in Dortmund in recent years: he buys up properties in the Kreuzviertel and transforms shared apartments into sought-after luxury properties. In his personal life, he is currently divorcing his wife Natalia. She doesn't leave her husband in good stead either.

While Inspector Peter Faber has not yet come to terms with the death of his colleague Martina Bönisch, is on sick leave and is more or less living in his old Manta, Jan and Rosa come across Faber's father Josef. He and Faber apparently haven't had any contact for decades. What happened between father and son and what does Josef Faber have to do with the case?

Episode 4

Saturday. Gameday. A Saar-Palatinate football derby keeps all the emergency services in Saarbrücken on tenterhooks, including the chief commissioners Leo Hölzer, Adam Schürk, Esther Baumann and Pia Heinrich. After the game, a death was reported in the emergency room. Andreas Schneider collapsed in the emergency room with skull fractures and a stab wound and could not be saved.

It quickly turns out that he spent the “third half” at a field match. But whether he also suffered the fatal injuries there remains unclear for the time being. Because as much as the hooligan groups are enemies, they also agree that the biggest and common enemy is the police. Therefore, they confront the Saarbrücken team with silence and clarify their struggles among themselves. Adam Schürk also hides certain truths. However, when he is attacked at his home because someone is looking for the millions from his father's bank robbery, he has to let Leo Hölzer know.

The cold of the earth

The Winterfeld family experienced a tragedy years ago when their daughter Rosa, still a teenager but already the mother of a daughter, disappeared without a trace. Now Rosa's body is found near the Black Forest village. Just like back then, Franziska Tobler and Friedemann Berg are investigating. Just like back then, Meike Winterfeld blames Werner Tröndle, who has several previous convictions. He served time in prison for other crimes and now lives in the village again, even though most people don't want anything to do with him. Franziska Tobler and Friedemann Berg reconstruct Rosa's last evening again, not only with the family, but also with Rosa's boyfriend Axel and her best friend Elif. Now adults, the two of them are critical of this reconstruction. Franziska Tobler and Friedemann Berg still hope for new insights. And actually – with the way adults now look at things, the perception of events is shifting.

Down in the valley

Young, popular and extremely successful: Marlon Unger is the hotshot of an IT company. One evening he is attacked and stabbed in front of his apartment. As Moritz Eisner, Bibi Fellner and Meret Scham begin to investigate the case, the image they gain of the victim changes several times. Was he popular now? Or not? An unscrupulous guy or someone with a conscience? Someone whose hearts fell to them, or someone who didn't really care if he made enemies? In any case, the case is becoming increasingly opaque and depressing. Because when the circle of suspects finally narrows, another crime occurs that puts the investigators under pressure and forces them to make dramatic decisions...

What kind of world is this?

The recently deceased Evita Vogt has a huge fan base with her self-deprecating videos. As "MagicMom" she is one of the most successful so-called momfluencers: a likeable young mother who owns up to her supposed mistakes and has tips and tricks for other mothers. But now she is found hanging in her luxurious home. Everything points to this - but did Evita Vogt really take her own life? A real challenge for Professor Boerne and his assistant Silke Haller; Prof. Boerne cannot initially unequivocally rule out external influences. Evita's husband Moritz is shocked and doesn't believe all of this: neither suicide nor murder makes sense to him. Commissioner Thiel's investigations quickly show that "MagicMom" also had numerous so-called haters among those who followed her online. There were also hate and hurtful comments from other influencers like Sabine Hertweck aka “BusyBine”. And it's no secret that Evita Vogt and her neighbor Thekla Cooper didn't have a good relationship...

MagicMom

Young Adam Moser has a fatal accident on his motorcycle at night. But the death raises questions and ultimately leads inspectors Ivo Batic and Franz Leitmayr to Munich's Hasenbergl. Here the dead man lived with his girlfriend in a small bungalow in the middle of the anonymous high-rise buildings in the district. Old Hackl lives in the house next door, a well-known troublemaker whose anger potential is notorious not only among the Munich police: Did he also have something against Adam? Enough that he had to die? As always, the old Grantler makes things difficult for the authorities and violently evades enforcement. The mood between Franz and Ivo is at its lowest point while a large-scale search for Hackl begins. There seems to be more hidden behind the cold, high facades: a world full of frustration, narrowness and envy.

Hackl

Almost all of Alt-Bützenich is deserted and boarded up. At night a security service checks on everything. It was decided that the houses and the church would have to give way to open-cast mining. Then the climate change brings new hope: the old village can stay.

But the once close-knit village community has long since disappeared with the move to Neu-Bützenich. As Dr. When Christian Franzen, the local doctor, is informed that his empty house has been broken into, he immediately sets off - but never returns home. His wife Betje turns to the police, who find her husband - shot dead in the old village. Even though everyone here was a patient of the doctor, he was still not particularly popular. During their investigation, detectives Max Ballauf and Freddy Schenk uncover a torn community. Time cannot simply be turned back here in the lignite mining area.

Scarp

In Bremerhaven, one of the largest automobile transshipment ports in Europe, a body is found at one of the car terminals - the driver area manager is lying dead in the trunk of a car.

The Bremen investigative team with Liv Moormann and Linda Selb begins the investigation and is supported by their Bremerhaven colleague Robert Petersen.

They come across Marie, Gheorghe Rusu and Oleg Rusu. The three car tuners secretly send cars along for night races and compete in spinning "doughnuts" when the car slides in circles with smoking tires. One of the vehicles turns out to be particularly explosive.

Liv Moormann quickly finds herself in the middle of the car tuning scene - and as a native of Bremerhaven, she not only meets forgotten friends, but is also confronted with her own family.

Donuts

Everything indicates that the young police officer Rebecca Kästner committed suicide in her apartment the evening before: drugs, custody dispute, excessive demands. But when Karow finds her four-year-old son Matti frightened in the garden, he begins to have doubts about the suicide. What mother does that in front of her child? Then the last call from the dead person was to an unusual number: Susanne Bonard, a former LKA figure who now teaches at the police academy. She is a luminary whose standard work everyone knows. Before Karow knows it, she is at his side to investigate this case. Back on the road at 62?

During the investigation into Rebecca's death, the detectives also come across connections to the right-wing scene, which Bonard quickly suspects is a large right-wing network. Karow thinks that's paranoid. Until he discovers with her that they are actually faced with larger connections than initially thought...

Nothing but the truth (1)

Nothing but the truth (2)

When his 17-year-old son Noah disappears, Jon Makoni turns to the police in desperation, even though it could be dangerous for him and his wife Hope to be targeted by the authorities: even though the Makonis have been living and working in Hanover for years , they have no papers and are therefore effectively non-existent. The investigators Falke and Grosz initially search for a smuggling network in Hanover. An unknown body is found in a truck.

In the hope that the investigators will help him find his son, Jon offers himself as a witness. In order to clarify the identity of the dead man and save the missing Noah from a similar fate, Falke and Grosz penetrate deep into Hanover's shadow economy.

Hidden

When Peter Faber joins Jan Pawlak and Rosa Herzog early in the morning, the forensics team has almost finished their work. Tram driver Hamza Arkadas was stabbed during his night shift. There are no witnesses, but the images from the surveillance camera show how Arkadas was first provoked and then attacked by a young passenger. The perpetrator showed his face offensively into the camera before fleeing, but the recordings are of little help at first. He doesn't seem to be known to the police, and public prosecutor Matuschek doesn't want to go public with the pictures yet.

Rosa Herzog, who took over as acting head of the homicide squad in Faber's absence, gets support from police officer Beate Gräske. She is a “super recognizer” with the special ability to recognize faces – much better than her colleagues and the technology can do. With the help of surveillance cameras, she tracks down the perpetrator...

Love is Pain

After a charity event in a posh hotel on Lake Zurich, the evening's host is found murdered in his suite. Just a few days later, a top entrepreneur was found dead, tied to his rowing boat at the bottom of Lake Zurich. Both bodies have special features that point to a crime by Ndragetha and that put the Zurich police on high alert.

When Dominic Mercier, one of the organizers of the charity event, receives a threatening letter, the investigation turns into a race against time. When Isabel Grandjean examines the financial transactions with a mafia expert, she discovers a money laundering network that shows clear connections between the charity funds and the mafia.

Meanwhile, Tessa Ott is following a different lead. This leads via a boxing club to an orphanage, whose director is also murdered a short time later. Here, too, there are special traces on the corpse, which Tessa now knows how to interpret. Tessa is increasingly convinced that personal motives underlie the murders.

Rope team

A passerby is pushed in front of a moving truck at the Kiel Fjord: an outbreak of violence from nowhere. Commissioner Borowski is listening to a nearby vocational school. A little later, the main commissioner lands in the intensive care unit with a serious head injury. Mila Sahin is of the greatest concern. Why wasn't she with him when her colleague needed her? She suspects a connection between the senseless act and the attack on Borowski. And then there are these strange calls that reach the main commissioner on the bedside: a girl named Finja claims to have been kidnapped by his sister Celina. Celina Lübbert is one of the girls Borowski interrogated at the vocational school.

Borowski and the Great Rage

Miriam Schenk and Paul Wolf and their almost grown children Zoé and Benno were a well-functioning patchwork family for years. The fact that there are cracks only becomes apparent when Benno's best friend Christopher is killed and the detectives Franziska Tobler and Friedemann Berg also investigate the Schenk-Wolf family's environment. Chris, they find out, was involved in the Freiburg drug scene and it seems obvious that his death had something to do with that. What did his close friend Benno know about it? After all, the two of them wanted to raise money for a trip around the world. And Zoé was also out and about with the two of them more than her parents ever noticed. Miriam and Paul's trust in their children and in each other is crumbling, while Tobler and Berg gather more and more evidence that their step-siblings are involved in dubious and increasingly dangerous financial transactions.

The secret lives of our children

Leitmayr and Batic are shocked by a cold-blooded murder: unknown people shoot a young policewoman during a traffic stop. The cruel act is not the only shock. The inspectors find out that the murderers may come from their own ranks. Their investigation then focuses on the lobby of an online tactical shooter game, where police officers meet to play. In order to get the names of the anonymous players, they infiltrate a young e-athlete into the group. Oskar is a shooting star in the scene. But he and his father have their own interests: They want to win an important tournament that is taking place in Munich at the same time at all costs. Even at the expense of Leitmayr and Batic's investigation...

Game Over

A young woman named Azra (played by Mariam Hage) becomes the key figure in an organized crime case. She has been working as a police informant for some time and is tasked—serving as a confidential informant for the Economic Crimes Division—with gathering evidence within the orbit of the Datviani clan, a criminal organization that has grown dangerously powerful. When the clan leader's brother is shot dead outside one of his clubs, the BKA takes over the investigation, and Moritz Eisner (Harald Krassnitzer) and Bibi Fellner (Adele Neuhauser) arrive at the crime scene. It quickly becomes clear that the case is more complex than anticipated.

Azra

The ninth crime scene from Franconia, "High Mass for Toni," takes Chief Inspector Felix Voss (Fabian Hinrichs) into his private past.
