Tatort

The Weimar detectives Kira Dorn and Lessing are called to the crime scene in the town hall. During a robbery at the city treasury, the secretary Sylvia Kleinert was shot dead by a masked perpetrator. They soon find evidence that it was a targeted murder. When it turns out that Sylvia was having an affair with the city treasurer Iwan Windisch, the inspectors set their sights on him.

During their research, Kira Dorn and Lessing come across Rita Eisenheim, who runs a ghost train with her husband Josef and has come to Rudolstadt near Weimar for the hustle and bustle .
The allegedly missing Josef Eisenheim shows an incredible resemblance to Iwan Windisch in a photo - could it be the same man? The inspectors begin to suspect that the city treasurer is leading a bizarre double life. His secretary may have died because she blackmailed him about it. The money stolen during the robbery is also being sought. The inspectors suspect that Caspar Bogdanski, who has just been released from prison, is hired as a chainsaw clown on Rita Eisenheim's ghost train - During their investigations, Kira and Lessing delve deep into the madness of Weimar again and Lessing has to prove to Kira in a painful way that he is a whole guy. 

A man falls from the top floor of a posh hotel in Vienna. Iranian diplomat and nuclear physicist Dr. Bansari appears to have committed suicide. But why did he buy expensive opera tickets for the same evening? Moritz Eisner (Harald Krassnitzer) and his colleague Bibi Fellner (Adele Neuhauser) want to investigate the issue, but the Iranian Embassy and the Austrian Foreign Ministry immediately get involved. The case is subject to the strictest secrecy – the dead man's laptop and mobile phone are confiscated. The two investigators are pissed off, but don't give up. The surveillance video of the hotel leads them to the trail of the shady lobbyist Johannes Leopold Trachtenfels-Lissé (Udo Samel). This has with Dr. Bansari brokered a secret deal.
Eisner and Fellner find out it's about valves and pumps needed for nuclear reactors. A trainload of the high-quality components is to be sent to Iran via third countries. A race against time begins for the two investigators – and against the Israeli secret service Mossad. In this "crime scene" Moritz Eisner and Bibi Fellner have to find their way through a thicket of murder, corruption and high-tech smuggling. Harald Krassnitzer and Adele Neuhauser have long been a well-established team as Austro investigators, and the two were even awarded the renowned Adolf Grimme Prize. But they haven't had to bring a full-speed freight train to a standstill.
And they haven't had to deal with "Kidon" - a special unit of the Israeli intelligence service responsible for assassinations. In addition to Tanja Raunig, Hubert Kramar, Eva Billisich and Stefan Puntigam, the character Udo Samel can be seen as a sophisticated fashion designer and wily lobbyist. 

Daniel Kossik can't believe it: His brother Tobias, of all people, belongs to the hard core of the right-wing extremist group Nationale Soziale. Does Daniel now have to investigate him too? The Dortmund commissioners are looking for the killer of Kai Fischer, who is considered the head of the local neo-Nazi scene. His heavily pregnant wife Tanja is certain that Jedida Steinmann, the director of a counseling center against right-wing violence, is behind the crime. She would have had a motive: her husband had also been the victim of an assassination attempt. The victim Kai Fischer was an urgent suspect at the time. But the evidence was not sufficient for a transfer.
The investigations prove to be particularly dangerous for Nora Dalay: She doesn't mince her words when it comes to Fischer's followers and is soon attacked by a group of right-wing extremists. 

Lena Odenthal and Mario Kopper take up the investigation when an animal keeper is found murdered at a horse farm. The man was stabbed at night on the edge of the paddock. Case analyst Johanna Stern is also quickly involved, as the murder may be related to a current series of horse molesters. Did the perpetrator want to attack a horse at night and was surprised by the groom? Was the murdered the victim of unfortunate circumstances or was the actual crime aimed at himself? Lena and Johanna are increasingly investigating in the direction of the alleged horse molester. But they also come across inconsistencies on the horse farm and the mysterious wife of the stud farm owner.
Over time, Lena, Johanna and Kopper manage to narrow down the circle of suspects, but the horse molester seems to be up to mischief. And the evaluation of the course of events and the perpetrator's profile give rise to terrible fears: Is the perpetrator a "living time bomb"? Will he sooner or later try to live out his sadistic fantasies not only on horses, but on a human being?

The severed head of a young man is found in Mundsforde, a small village near Kiel. Before his violent death, 20-year-old Mike was apparently addicted to the drug crystal meth. Inspectors Klaus Borowski and Sarah Brandt investigate the drug scene in Kiel. After a manhunt call, Rita, the girlfriend of the deceased, gets in touch. She tells the inspectors about her love for Mike, a story full of hope for a new life, intoxication and ecstasy. Although recently clean, Rita refuses to cooperate with the police. Rita reminds Borowski of his daughter Carla. He puts pressure on Rita and promises to protect her. In her distress, Rita accuses two dealers - and thereby puts herself in danger.

The young musician Daniel Gerber last lived on the streets. Now his body has been found on the banks of the Rhine. Apparently he had been brutally beaten several days before and then died of his internal injuries. Inspectors Max Ballauf and Freddy Schenk quickly find out that shortly before his death, Gerber had applied for a job as a pianist in a hotel bar. However, there was probably a fight between him and three young people who were partyingBankers - Another lead leads the commissioners to a residential building near the alleged crime scene. In fact, the forensics team discovered a bloodstain in the hallway. The DNA found matches that of the victim. However, the residents of the house prove to be unhelpful. Freddy Schenk is not deterred by this: In particular, the attractive, single art professor Claudia Denk has aroused his interest.

What to do with black money that can no longer be parked at Swiss banks? Recourse to expensive tangible assets is a good way to safely park untaxed money abroad. Ancient, precious wine, for example... Matteo Lüthi from the Thurgau police wants to uncover such deals and crosses the paths of Klara Blum and Kai Perlmann, who have to uncover the murder of a young unemployed man - the one with a backpack full of probably valuable bottles of wine in Lake Constance was sunk. Murder and tax offenses could be related, Klara Blum and Matteo Lüthi, very cooperative, investigate together through the official channels. A case from the 19th century is linked to one from today.
It is about the extremely valuable wedding wine of Annette von Droste-Hülshoff, several bottles of which can be found in the Swiss depots of German tax fraudsters. And about the spark of later love that Kai Perlmann traces in a forgotten wine cellar... 

Detectives Eva Saalfeld and Andreas Keppler are called to a crime scene on the outskirts of town. There, waste contractor Harald Kosen was killed in the bedroom of his house. Though much cash was stolen from the wall safe, the brutality of the murder suggests to the detectives an act of anger or hatred. The first suspicion falls on the former company partner Kosens, Christian Scheidt. His daughter was killed in a traffic accident by Harald Kosen a few years ago. Did Scheidt want revenge? Kosen's wife Astrid, who has a heart condition, has spent the last few days in the hospital and is out of the question as the perpetrator. Her adult children Sofie and Patrick no longer live in the house. Patrick is disappointed in his family who didn't protect him when he was in trouble.
After a juvenile sentence for robbery with serious bodily harm, he is purified and apparently seeks reconciliation with his family. Sofie's husband Frank is employed in Kosen's recycling company. Professionally, things are not going well for him - his stepfather wanted to throw him out of the company after an attempt at blackmail. Frank's marriage to Sofie is about to end because she always stuck by her father more than he did. After a desperate call from Sofie, the inspectors soon find the young woman dead. When the commissioners want to arrest her husband Frank, they come across another victim.

During a routine questioning of Steier (Joachim Król) a catastrophe occurs. A little girl is fatally injured by a ricochet. However, the perpetrator was acquitted in court because the lawyer questioned the statement made by Inspector Steier, who had drunk a lot in a pub the night before the operation. Steier is beside himself and resigns from the service, wanting to "finally be a hero in his own film again". He loads his pistol and pursues Nico (Maik Rogge), who fired the fatal shots. He comes to his senses at the last moment, but finds out that Nico is planning a burglary together with his brother Robin (Vincent Krüger) and his junkie girlfriend Lisa (Janina Schauer). It ends in disaster, the homeowner who has returned unexpectedly is killed.
A neighbor, Rolf Poller (Armin Rohde), has observed everything and gets caught in the crosshairs of the trio of burglars who want to get rid of the witness. While trying to save Poller, Steier is knocked down by the latter in his house and locked in the basement with Nico and his brother's girlfriend. He locks Robin in his son's former youth room. Poller follows a perfidious plan. He too finally wants to be the hero in his own film again. Only his version follows a completely different script.

Lower Austria, in the late 1960s. A young man goes fishing at night on the Thaya, a river that bordered on what was then Czechoslovakia. Shots are fired, but the authorities of the socialist neighboring country deny an incident at the border. The man is not coming home. Decades later, his son Max (Harald Windisch), a journalist, revisits the story. At the same time, the body of a 45-year-old Czech named Radok is fished out of the Thaya. An accident? For Moritz Eisner (Harald Krassnitzer) and his colleague Bibi Fellner (Adele Neuhauser), the strange case that saves them from processing boring mountains of files comes at just the right time. While the chief inspector finds out that Radok was murdered, his colleague takes an involuntary bath in the river.
The reporter Max pulls her out of the ice-cold water and initiates the astonished detective into the research about his missing father: At the time of the Prague Spring, the Czechoslovakian secret service lured republic refugees into a trap with a fictitious border. The insidious plan only worked thanks to the cooperation of young Austrians, who played an inglorious role in it. Apparently Radok now wanted to hold the former collaborators accountable. Did he have to die because of that? The latest "Tatort" thriller with Harald Krassnitzer and Adele Neuhauser tells a true story. The incredible story is about perpetrators and victims on both sides of the Iron Curtain and about a family's fatal entanglement in the perfidious power politics of the Cold War.
While solving a complicated crime, Moritz Eisner and Bibi Fellner have to solve a borderline case that can be traced back to the late 1960s. Rupert Henning, known among other things as a screenwriter for the hit movie "Nordwand", makes his convincing "Tatort" debut with this psychologically sensitive crime thriller. It was shot in the beautiful landscape of the Lower Austrian Waldviertel. The ensemble includes Harald Windisch, Hubert Kramar, Thomas Stipsits, Charly Rabanser, Karoline Zeisler and Lukas Resetarits, known from "Kottan determined".

After ten years, the missing girl Fiona Althoff suddenly appears as a young woman (Gro Swantje Kohlhof) in front of her family. She says she was kidnapped and abused. The family is happy to be able to hug their daughter and sister again, but Bremen detectives Inga Lürsen (Sabine Postel) and Stedefreund (Oliver Mommsen) are skeptical. At that time they had not found the girl and suspected the father as a murderer, after which he took his own life. His wife Silke Althoff (Gabriela Maria Schmeide), Fiona's mother, still raises serious allegations against Inga Lürsen. Did the commissioners fail back then? Inga Lürsen and Stedefreund take up the investigation again and increasingly come across unanswered questions.

Robert Karow begins his first day on homicide at a bloody crime scene. There is no trace of the corpse. A horrible place in an empty vacation home where Karow meets his new colleague Nina Rubin. With her assistant Mark (Tim Kalkhof) and the young trainee Anna (Carolyn Genzkow)Rubin and Karow begin to investigate. Karow soon suspects that it is a case from the drug scene.
Nina is skeptical, not least because her colleague Karow has a questionable reputation. Then events take a turn for the worse: Ronny and Jo flee from their brutal pursuers, and a body is found in a rubbish dump. When the investigators find out that the siblings are hiding in an empty hotel on the grounds of Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER), a race against time begins... "Tatort: Das Muli" is a production of EIKON Media GmbH (producer: Ernst Ludwig Ganzert) commissioned by Rundfunk Berlin-Brandenburg (rbb) for Das Erste

In the Gaarden district of Kiel, 60-year-old Onno Steinhaus is found dead. Except for a group of children, nobody seems to have had contact with the neglected man. Klaus Borowski and Sarah Brandt look into an abyss of poverty and indifference when investigating the area surrounding the dead man. Steinhaus had a criminal record for pedophilia. None of the neighbors want to have noticed that children were constantly coming and going and celebrating wild parties. The police officer responsible for the district, Torsten Rauschcapitulated long ago in view of the social neglect of the district. Brandt's investigations brought to light a video showing the boy Timo Scholz in a tricky situation with Onno Steinhaus and also a scene in which Steinhaus was kicked and laughed at by the children.
Was Steinhaus the victim of violent youth? 15-year-old Timo vehemently denies having been abused. Someone else has a secret: Sarah Brandt is conspicuously often looking for closeness to her colleague Torsten Rausch.

Eight-year-old Magdalena does not show up at school on Monday morning. Inspectors Eva Saalfeld and Andreas Keppler launch a large-scale manhunt. When the parents are questioned, it turns out that they have not seen their child since Sunday afternoon. Magdalena had made her way to the school garden, where she personally tends a bed. Surprisingly, the parents don't seem shocked by their child's disappearance and are confident that prayer and deep faith in God will lead to a happy ending. While investigating Magdalena's way to school, Keppler discovers traces of the kidnapping and thus the scene of the crime, a disused staircase in a pedestrian tunnel. The commissioners are preparing a mass genetic test, which they are also announcing in the media.
In the middle of their investigation, the news bursts that there has been a fatal accident at the home of a teacher at Magdalena's school. Keppler does not believe in coincidence and looks for the child in the house - without success. It turns out that the dead teacher's DNA matches the evidence from the tunnel. Is Wolfgang Prickel the kidnapper? Did he kill himself for fear of the announced genetic test? But where did he hide the girl? Monika Prickel vehemently denies that her husband had anything to do with the girl's disappearance. The thought that little Magdalena is struggling with death in her hiding place does not let the inspectors come to rest.

In Dortmund, detectives Peter Faber (Jörg Hartmann), Martina Bönisch (Anna Schudt), Nora Dalay (Aylin Tezel) and Daniel Kossik (Stefan Konarske) investigate. They have to solve the death of a young parachutist. His screen had obviously been tampered with. He won't survive. Leo Janek is in the intensive care unit, on artificial respiration. Previously, someone had dumped the young, seriously injured family man in front of the clinic. Inspectors Peter Faber and Martina Bönisch search for clues in Janek's personal environment. There have often been tensions here recently: in his job at a bank, with his wife Klara (Inez Bjørg David) and son Martin Janek, as well as with brother-in-law Frank (Constantin von Jascheroff), for whom he had given a loan.
The adventurous Leo Janek saw all of this as a one-way street. He got his kick from skydiving. Commissioners Nora Dalay and Daniel Kossik are investigating undercover in his ski jumping club. There they find out that Leo Janek was part of a base jumper scene where skydiving off tall buildings is the ultimate challenge. Did he die in such a daring jump? Nora Dalay is also taking full risk: She has aroused the interest of the attractive parachute instructor Jules Lanke (Albrecht Schuch) –

"Colder Than Death" is the title of the first case that the new Frankfurt investigative team Margarita Broich as Anna Janneke and Wolfram Koch as Paul Brix have to solve. He - Paul Brix - is the newcomer with many years of experience at Sitte in Frankfurt, she - Anna Janneke - is the career changer who previously gave psychological advice to the police in Berlin. He is renting from an old friend (Zazie de Paris). She hasn't really arrived in Frankfurt yet. On their first day together in the Frankfurt Homicide Unit, they are not exactly welcomed with open arms by the new head of the commissioner, Henning Riefenstahl (Roeland Wiesnekker), and at the same time are confronted with the terrible murder of an entire family.
Meet at the crime sceneThey spot the courier Achim Lechenberg (Sebastian Schwarz), who called the police because he noticed that a CD with the same title was playing in the house in an endless loop. It quickly turns out that a member of the family, 17-year-old Jule (Charleen Deetz), and her young tutor Miranda (Emily Cox) are missing. Were they witnesses and fled, were they kidnapped, or did they have something to do with the murders themselves? And what about the ominous CD? A race against time begins. There is a lot to do for the new Frankfurt commissioners Anna Janneke and Paul Brix. The broadcast of the second case, entitled "Behind the Mirror," is scheduled for September. From April 13th to May 24th the third case will be filmed.

Maid Yasemin Akhtar falls to her death in the stairwell of a luxury hotel. External fault or not, Lena Odenthal and Mario Kopper ask themselves during their investigations. But also: Is her death related to the fact that the politician Joseph Sattler had sex with Yasemin in Suite 426 shortly before? Sattler's involvement in the case became public surprisingly quickly and not only damaged his personal reputation, but also his current political project. In Lena Odenthal's eyes, it all fits together a little too well. Like Sattler's lawyer, his wife Valerie, she believes an intrigue against the political functionary is possible. If so, it worked, because both public opinion and Johanna Stern as a representative of the LKA shoot at Sattler as a sexual aggressor and possiblekiller one.
Lena, on the other hand, believes that her bold young colleague is being exploited and, against all odds, concentrates on finding Sattler's enemies. Stimulated by the events and trials surrounding former IMF President Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the authors Stefan Dähnert and Patrick Brunken and director Tim Trageser unfold in "Room Service" the image of a man of power who believes he can transcend boundaries in his private life and can't resist the temptation to see a maid as fair game for his sexual advances. In her 62nd case, Lena Odenthal and her team also experience how quickly this blind spot can become a trap when it comes to a brutal power struggle involving public opinion.

A wine shop near Münster is the only clue at first. 25-year-old Luiz Benaso had taken a taxi here the day before his death. Now he was found murdered in an old slaughterhouse. Inspector Frank Thiel and his colleague Nadeshda Krusenstern, who has just been promoted to inspector, take over the investigation. Meanwhile, Professor Karl-Friedrich Boerne has visitors from overseasannounced. His hereditary uncle Gustav von Elst from Florida comes to Münster. When he accidentally found out about Luiz Benaso's murder, he was shocked: apparently he had an affair with the young South American. Does he know who might have had a motive for killing his lover? Apparently Luiz had offered the Schosser wine shop a case of very valuable champagne for sale in Gustav's name -

While a tragic accident occurs in a chemical factory, the two investigators Moritz Eisner (Harald Krassnitzer) and Bibi Fellner (Adele Neuhauser) appear slightly overdressed at the birthday party of their supervisor Ernst Rauter (Hubert Kramar). The mood is good, but Rauter misses his godchild Roswita (Emily Cox) at the party. Her husband Helmut (Eugen Knecht) excuses his wife because she still has work to do. But then it turns out that Roswita is the victim of the chemical accident. A defective protective suit could not protect them from the escaping, highly aggressive hydrofluoric acid. Finally, the ten-month pregnant woman succumbs to her injury. Rauter is deeply shocked and asks Eisner and Fellner to investigate the matter.
It soon turns out that the protective suits are supplied by a company that belongs to the Wendler Group. Apparently, a larger proportion of the suits do not comply with the required safety regulations. The protective suit business is managed by Sabrina Wendler (Maria Köstlinger), a self-confident, cool woman who denies any responsibility for the accident. Her husband Peter (Anian Zollner), heir to the Wendler works, has been in closed custody for yearsPsychiatry. He was convicted of attempting to murder his wife and is now about to be released. In his place, Dr. Viktor Perschava (Michael Masula) the company. Sabrina Wendler would like to sell the group as soon as possible in order to emigrate with Perschawa, who is also her lover.
But he increasingly distances himself from this thought. In the meantime, the young widower Helmut Marder has also found out about the Wendler Group. He wants to hold those responsible for the death of his wife accountable, but initially only meets the secretary Elisabeth Schneider (Johanna Mertinz), a veteran of the company and loyal to the Wendler family. Shortly thereafter, Viktor Perschava is found shot dead. For Eisner and Fellner, the actual investigative work now begins. The internationally renowned director Robert Dornhelm tells the story of the rise and fall of a family of manufacturers, of the loss of values in the new economic world and takes archaic feelings of revenge and retribution into account.
Harald Krassnitzer and Adele Neuhauser are in top form alongside top-class episode actors such as Emily Cox and Anian Zollner. They face the thicket of guilt and atonement with a cool mind. 

An environmental activist is shot and his friend Henrik Paulsen (Helmut Zierl) disappears on a wind turbine in the North Sea. The Bremen commissioners Inga Lürsen (Sabine Postel) and Stedefreund (Oliver Mommsen) investigate in the middle of a conflict of interest between environmentalists and entrepreneurs. Does wind farm operator Lars Overbeck (Thomas Heinze) have anything to do with it? Does he want to silence his critics? The more the detectives find out, the more blurred the lines between victims and perpetrators, between innocent and guilty.

Former Secretary of State Dr. Jürgen Dillinger wanted to go jogging when he was shot, probably by a professional. Dillinger had recently testified in the investigative committee investigating a construction scandal in the Stuttgart 21 area, and so Thorsten Lannert and Sebastian Bootz focused their attention on the protagonists in the "Gleisdreieck" real estate deal. The ambitious architect Busso von Mayer had planned a visionary construction project on the Stuttgart 21 site with the help of an Indian investor. There were difficulties with the building permits, the investor turned out to be an imposter and the project failed. Busso von Mayer was convicted, is in prison as a free agent and cannot hide the fact that he sees himself as a pawn victim and thedoes not exactly wish the politically responsible well.
He also has doubts that committee chair Petra Keller will shed light on the matter. Nevertheless, Busso von Mayer is hard to imagine as the client for a hired killer. Wondering who profited from the failed deal, Lannert and Bootz investigate in their easily excitable city when it comes to Stuttgart 21. No topic has moved and challenged the city of Stuttgart more in recent years than Stuttgart 21. Against this background, Niki Stein came up with a criminal case on the subject of white-collar crime for "Tatort: Der Indian", which deals with power and corruption in the real estate sector , about distrust of the big plans and the dream of creating.

A Nigerian youth is found stabbed under a bridge in Lucerne. The commissioners Reto Flückiger (Stefan Gubser) and Liz Ritschard (Delia Mayer) assume, based on the first indications, that it is a question of a settlement in the drug milieu. The young man was already well known to the police: Ebi Osodi (Charles Mnene) was a so-called UMA – an unaccompanied minor seeking asylum. He came to Switzerland without his parents and has been caught dealing several times. For the new police chief Mattmann (Jean-Pierre Cornu) it is clear that this case should be closed as soon as possible. After all, the delinquent Ebi would have been deported immediately if he had reached the age of majority .
But the more the chief of police pushed for efficiency, the more Reto Flückiger and Liz Ritschard became interested in the fate of the boy. And when the dark-skinned Jola (Marie-Hélène Boyd), another underage asylum seeker from Nigeria, becomes the focus of the investigations, Ritschard and Flückiger realize that the young woman must be the key to the case. But investigations keep getting stuck. And more than once Flückinger has to ask himself whether what he sees is real or just a hallucination. According to medical findings, severe migraine attacks are the reason for his increasingly severe headaches and this also causes partial shifts in perception. 

It is an execution on the open road: in Lucerne, a sniper kills two Albanian car dealers with headshots. Shortly thereafter, the next murder follows the same pattern. This time the victim is a trustee. The murder weapon is the same – Reto Flückiger (Stefan Gubser) and Liz Ritschard (Delia Mayer) are dealing with a serial offender. And they realize that the seemingly random victims have one thing in common: they all committed crimes for which the judiciary has never held them accountable. The two Albanians crippled a young man, and the trustee killed a mother and her child during an insane overtaking maneuver. In tranquil Lucerne, a bloody campaign of revenge is obviously going on.
And there are many more potential victims, because the overburdened Swiss judiciary and a new criminal law ensure that numerous other criminal offenses are put on the back burner. Reto Flückiger and Liz Ritschard do everything they can to stop the self-proclaimed avenger before more people die. What happens when someone loses faith in the legal system? How does unpunished injustice lead to a single person taking justice into their own hands? The new "Tatort" from Switzerland packs these questions into an exciting story about a completely normal citizen who sets himself up as a self-proclaimed judge and executioner. Reto Flückiger and Liz Ritschard are chasing the brutal killer who is convinced that he can create "justice".
Director Florian Froschmayer delivers a gripping legal thriller with his fifth "Tatort". In addition to Stefan Gubser and Delia Mayer, the acting performance of Antoine Monot jr is particularly convincing. Also starring: Mišel Maticevic, Sarah Hostettler and Jean-Pierre Cornu.

At the police headquarters, Chief Inspector Paul Brix (Wolfram Koch) receives a visit from his former partner in vice, Simon Finger (Dominique Horwitz). This is on the run from the Russian mafia, Brix should help him. Although deeply indebted to Finger, he refuses. Chief Inspector Anna Janneke (Margarita Broich) witnesses the conversation and begins to wonder who Brix really is. However, a new case takes hold of both of them: a politician is born in his apartmentfound hanged. Everything points to suicide, but Janneke doubts this. Suddenly Simon Finger disappeared without a trace. Brix starts looking for his buddy. And Janneke researches Brix's past in the train station environment. Here she meets the smart Wolfgang Preiss (Justus von Dohnányi), Brix' former district chief. A deadly game of loyalty and trust begins for Janneke and Brix. In the end she gets to know him and herself anew.

It's October. Franz Leitmayr leaves town. Like every year. Because it's Oktoberfest. And he can't stand it. He has sublet his apartment to two Swedes. Batic, on the other hand, unpacks the old presents from his Croatian aunts. Because the aunts are coming to visit the Oktoberfest. Munich in a state of emergency. Barely arrived in Italy, Batic calls Leitmayr back. His fingerprints were found on the purse of a Oktoberfest visitor who was found dead that morning. Leitmayr had put the wallet back in the Italian's pocket on the way to the train station. He appeared to be completely drunk. But according to the autopsy report, he had only 0.7 per thousand. Apparently, the Oktoberfest beer was not responsible for the desolate condition of the Italian. The tox screening shows: GHB, liquid ecstasy, was in his blood.
And he wasn't the only case. GHB cases are increasing rapidly in the Amperbräu tent. And when combined with alcohol, GHB can be deadly. Nevertheless shouldthe tent cannot be closed. Batic and Leitmayr and their team face a crowd of more than 10,000 party-goers and stressed Amperbräu employees. Here, anyone could pour GHB into the beer of the guests without anyone noticing. The situation is completely unclear. What is striking is that all of the poisoning victims are young men. Christine Lerch, head of operational case analysis, sees a system in this. She believes in a lone perpetrator who commits vicarious aggression crimes. Restaurant manager Korbinian Riedl, who after the death of the old Wiesn landlord Moosrieder has to deal with his wife as his successor, is also suspicious.
The Moosried woman no longer employs people over 50 and, in Riedl's opinion, she is breaking with good old tradition. A case from a world where people earn a lot and drink a lot, a world where some work and others party, some belong and others don't.

In a small town in Lower Saxony, federal police officers Thorsten Falke and Katharina Lorenz are tailing an African asylum seeker who is suspected of dealing in forged passports for a gang of smugglers. During the arrest that followed, a violent physical altercation ensued between Falke and the suspect. The alleged smuggler is taken into police custody overnight to be interrogated the next day. In the morning, Falke and Lorenz learn that an accident happened during the night and the man died under circumstances that are still unclear. Falke starts investigating on his own with Lorenz. The "crime scene: burned" refers to the real case of Oury Jalloh from Sierra Leone, who burned to death in police custody in Dessau in 2005.

Emergency work on a children's playground in Dortmund: But for six-year-old Emma, any help comes too late. She had mistook the colorfully wrapped bead in the sand for a candy. It was cocaine. Initial investigations quickly show that dealers often use the playground in the park as a hiding place for their drugs. How can you let your child play here, Martina Bönisch asks Emma's mother Claudia Siebert. Emma's father Roland Siebert is certain: the drug-dealing asylum seekers are to blame for his daughter's death. In fact, two young Senegalese dealers were caught on film during a recent raid on the park. Jamal Gomis and his sister Niara have been on the run ever since. Inspector Peter Faber has his sights set on drug lord Tarim Abakay, who is well known to him. But he accuses the competition.
Meanwhile, Martina Böhnisch has to struggle with giving up her own children: her husband has applied for sole custody and the two sons support their father's wish. Daniel Kossik is also jealous. His colleague Nora Dalay has a new boyfriend who is exactly his opposite: a well-to-do lawyer. And obviously Nora enjoys the security he can give her.

Jörg Albrecht has barely served his sentence for abuse and murder when his body is found in a garbage can. He was intercepted in front of the prison gate, kidnapped and murdered shortly thereafter. The Stuttgart detectives Thorsten Lannert and Sebastian Bootz know who the two main suspects are: Frank and Simone Mendt, the parents of Mareike, who was murdered by Albrecht more than 15 years ago. The Mendts deny the crime. But it is abundantly clear how much the loss of her daughter continues to overshadow her life. And how they suffer from the fact that Albrecht always kept the second man involved in the crime a secret. If they got Albrecht to reveal the man's name, the inspectors must protect him from his pursuers.In fact, Lannert and Bootz find clues to his identity.
But just as the net is about to close, Sebastian Bootz realizes that his daughter Maja has disappeared. Author Holger-Karsten Schmidt and director Roland Suso Richter put the inspectors under a lot of pressure in this 17th case involving the Stuttgart team. The search for the perpetrator is quickly ended, but the prevention of another murder turns into a cat-and-mouse game in which Sebastian Bootz gets into a fight with himself, with his colleagues and with a perpetrator who is determined to do anything, for whom the life has lost its meaning anyway. A nice side effect of the story: it brings a reunion with Maja Schöne as Sebastian Bootz' ex-wife Julia.

"I'm dead. Reeds at the end of the Winterer Steig. take care of my baby Please hurry." This is the nocturnal text message that takes the police to the banks of the Rhine in Constance. It was probably sent by Vanessa Koch's murderer. Vanessa's body is quickly found - Kai Perlmann has been monitoring forensics with great concentration for hours when Klara Blum joins him at dawn on the icy December day. She recognizes what Perlmann overlooked: the reference to the murdered woman's half-year-old baby, which was left behind in the reeds. It is possible to find the hypothermic infant and to have it taken to a hospital as quickly as possible. Blum sharply reprimands her colleague for his negligence; doctors are unsure if little Alex will survive the aftermath of a winter night outdoors. When examining the background of the murdered, inconsistencies emerge: Vanessa Koch wore expensive new clothes and valuable jewelry, but at the same time was a Hartz IV recipient and regularly drank with a group of homeless people. Blum and Perlmann find out that the nomads have found shelter in a run-down barracks ironically dubbed the "Côte d'Azur". On the fringes of society, the group gets by as best they can - even if that means that the money for the evening tetra pack of wine in Santa Claus costume has to be collected with a ringing donation box "for orangutans". Here, in addition to Franzi, Urs, Lucky and Bill, the investigators also meet former inspector Hagen Bötzow, who was suspended from duty for violent crimes and has since slipped into alcoholism. The residents of the "Côte d'Azur" knew Vanessa well, but they all seem more interested in the baby's well-being than in solving the murder. The trail of an expensive ring, which had passed into Franzi's care before Vanessa's death, leads the commissioners to therich eccentric Jürgen Evers, known as the "Constance hit machine". Evers does not seem to know the murdered woman, although there is evidence that Vanessa was present at his birthday party a year earlier. Meanwhile, Kai Perlmann is struggling with feelings of guilt because he feels responsible for little Alex's hospitalization. The relationship between him and Klara Blum is more tense than ever and heated arguments ensue. While Perlmann endures long hours at the baby's bedside, Blum tries to win the trust of drug addict Franzi, who must have been in closer contact with Vanessa and her son than she initially wants to admit. Both Perlmann and Blum slowly get an insight into the group's network of relationships around the "Côte d'Azur". On the one hand, a deep loyalty has developed between the homeless people and they try to support each other as much as their precarious means and their alcohol and drug addiction allow. On the other hand, Hagen von Bötzow regularly blackmails the former craftsman Urs out of the little money he has at his disposal, and Franzi hides traces of violent violence under her winter jacket. The inspectors suspect that the answer to the question about the baby's father could provide a clue as to who Vanessa's killer is - and at the same time show what prospects are available for little Alex's future should he one day be released from the hospital alive be able. as well as their precarious means and their alcohol and drug addiction allow.

They tell of people on the fringes of society who try to make their lives as dignified as possible and who support each other loyally, even if poverty, alcohol and drugs keep stumbling them.
