Tatort

Christmas party in an insurance company, karaoke, alcohol, relaxed atmosphere. The next morning, an employee lies dead in the foyer, apparently having fallen over a balustrade. Thorsten Lannert and Sebastian Bootz try to reconstruct the evening. One thing is clear: Department head Oliver Jansen and his colleague Kim Tramell, the dead man's competitor, were the last to leave the house. Neither of them wants to have noticed anything. But under pressure, Kim Tramell testifies that Oliver Jansen raped her. He in turn speaks ofseduction and consensual sex. Which of the two made themselves open to blackmail and then eliminated a witness? The commissioners find a video that the killed Idris Demir recorded on his last evening. The footage of the intimate scene in the office should clarify the situation objectively.
But the apparently so conclusive video turns out to be ambiguous and interpretable. The impressively self-confident employee and the careless boss – for which of the two did Demir become a danger? 

In "Greed and Fear" the Dortmund homicide commission begins its work after a financial adviser was found shot dead on the port site - a victim on the hunt for more and more wealth? Manager Josef Micklitza (Stefan Rudolf) shows up at the Dortmund police headquarters late in the evening, very nervous and soaked from the rain: he found a dead man with a gunshot wound on the port area. It is his financial adviser Claus Lembach, a heavyweight in a highly sensitive industry. The news of the murder startles his customers: So far there has been a hefty return, are millions of dollars in danger now? Or are they adequately secured by thePrivate bank "Roden"? Even his brother Micki (Sascha Geršak) cannot say why Josef Micklitza went into hiding the night of the murder.
The two brothers live in different worlds, but have never broken off contact. Micki owns a nightclub and makes little effort to hide his drug use. Inspector Jan Pawlak is now observing him contacting the customers of the murdered Claus Lembach. Completely unexpected, Pawlak meets his wife Ella (Anke Retzlaff) during the investigation: the mother of their daughter disappeared more than a year ago. Now he hopes that she will come home and they can be a family again. 

Complete blackout: After waking up, Commissioner Thiel cannot explain how he ended up in this hotel room. And what are Professor Boerne and the big plush koala doing there on the edge of his bed? But it gets even worse: A body was found in the forest nearby. It is about Thiel's ex-boss from his time with the Hamburg homicide squad, whom he has not seen for years. Or is it? Professor Boerne is fascinated by Thiel's amnesia and accompanies him in his search for clues. "The devil's staying power" is the 40th "crime scene" in Münster with the successful investigative team of Axel Prahl and Jan Josef Liefers.

The investigative team is sitting in a good mood in a Saarbrücken restaurant: Chief Inspector Leo Holz (Vladimir Burlakov), Chief Inspector Adam Schürk (Daniel Sträßer), Chief Inspector Esther Baumann (Brigitte Urhausen) and Chief Inspector Pia Heinrich (Ines Marie Westernströer) have just finished eating when Adam receives a text message from his father urging him to go home as his mother is very unwell. Adam reluctantly sets off, but only meets his father at home, who pretends to have an important conversation with him. Meanwhile, a mission message reaches the rest of the team. Leo and Pia make their way to the scene of the crime: they find the body of Cora Reuters in a villa in the best part of Saarbrücken.
In addition, a blood-smeared baseball bat, an empty can of pepper spray, an open safe with wads of cash in it - and a suspected perpetrator who is seriously injured on the ground and is therefore taken to the hospital. When he dies there a short time later in an unnatural way, the team around Chief Inspector Woods quickly realizes that there is more to it than an unsuccessful burglary. Initial investigations show that Cora Reuters was broken into a few months ago and a surveillance camera was secretly installed. Adam is missing from the briefing the next morning.

The actress Carolin Seitz and her husband Moritz were once considered a dazzling and successful couple in the film industry. But those times are long gone. Moritz has been in prison for four years because he is said to have killed the theater star Thore Bärwald after an excessive New Year's Eve party. Now Moritz is considered a murderer and Carolin the wife of a murderer.
Now, many years later, there is a turning point:Actor Ole Stark turns himself in to the police and claims to be the real killer. Since Moritz has already been convicted of the crime and is behind bars, the public prosecutor's office cannot initiate any new investigations. But she gives inspectors Max Ballauf and Freddy Schenk a week to find out what's really going on in the story they're being told.

A woman tries to start over after serving a sentence - and finds herself involved in another homicide. Johanna Wokalek plays the suspect who makes Eva Löbau as "Tatort" Chief Inspector Franziska Tobler and Hans-Jochen Wagner as "Tatort" Chief Inspector Friedemann Berg ponder in the eighth case from the Black Forest.
After four years in prison for the manslaughter of her father, Sara Manzer wants to look ahead. She has support for her new life - primarily from her friend Marlene, who is with her in theapartment. Sara, who has turned from a party girl into a reserved woman as a result of her imprisonment, wants to shake off memories and reorient herself. But then the police show up at her door. A former colleague was stabbed and old files on her case were found on him. She reluctantly admits that she spoke to Benno Rose before his death. He had new insights into her old case that should relieve her. Sara insists she had nothing to do with Rose's death. Which doesn't stop the inspectors from investigating.

A woman's body is found during preparations for an urn burial. Feline Wagner disappeared a year ago, a friend reported her missing at the time. Now her remains are accidentally found in a burial forest. Investigators Rosa Herzog and Jan Pawlak initially focus on the Ihle funeral home and discover that the gravesite was occupied just days after Feline's disappearance by a man who gave a false name and paid in cash.has been reserved. Shortly thereafter, another murder victim is recovered, just steps away from the first. Faber, Bönisch, Herzog and Pawlak find out that both women were on online dating portals. Martina Bönisch recognizes one of the profiles, she has already had contact with the man. Are you dealing with a serial killer? Then the criminalists run out of time, because there was a year between the two murders – and soon twelve months have passed

Carnival in Munich. The body of a 70-year-old man is found on a staircase on the banks of the Isar. A first trace leads to "Irmis Stüberl", where the man apparently had an argument with a costumed carnival guest. The most important witness of the argument is a "Little Red Riding Hood", who is clearly too drunk to be questioned that evening. Batic and Leitmayr therefore take it with them without further ado. SilkeWeinzierl (Nina Proll), as "Little Red Riding Hood" is called, is very angry the next morning. She obviously slept really badly in the detox cell. No, she doesn't know the man and doesn't know why the argument came about. It quickly becomes clear: Batic and Leitmayr (Miroslav Nemec and Udo Wachtveitl) are not only dealing with a tricky case, but above all with a very unusual woman...

What starts out as a "normal" murder investigation continues to spread: the shopaholic Magnus Rosponi is found dead in his apartment. But neither his happy bowling friends nor Silke Haller, who recognizes a youth heartthrob in the dead man, can explain why the popular man had to die. For this, Professor Boerne finds a strange, small object in the corpse. Thiel discovers amorous entanglements at the same time. And when the protection of the constitution appears in the shady characters Muster and Mann, it becomes absurd. Apparently, Thiel and Boerne stabbed a wasp's nest and even drew the attention of an assassin. But how is it all connected? And what about the little dog that loves to eat bananas?
The second case in the anniversary year: 20 years of "Tatort" from Münster - Chief Inspector Thiel and Prof. Boerne are targeted by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution. A hostage-taker seeks her life.

The bizarrely displayed corpse of a young man leads the Zurich police to the charismatic artist Kyomi (Sarah Hostettler). This is ensnared by a group of young supporters, including the dead man. He obviously followed Kyoni unconditionally like a kind of savior and willingly allowed himself to be stylized into an art object in her hands.
The fascinating charisma of the artist also seems to have an effect on the inspector Tessa Ott and makes her colleague Isabelle Grandjean all the more skeptical. What game is the artist playing with her art and her followers, who, like children from a dark past, believe they are being led to the light by her?
In an abandoned factory, cosmetic surgeon Beat Gessner (Imanuel Humm) comes across the corpse of his son Max (Vincent Furrer), which seems to be wrapped in a cocoon. Tessa Ott (Carol Schuler) and Isabelle Grandjean (Anna Pieri Zuercher) discover that the corpse not only has tattoos on the face, but also on the cornea of the eyes. The shocked father reports that he has not had any contact with his son for a long time . Initial investigations lead the inspectors to a sectarian artists' commune. This is led by the charismatic Kyomi (Sarah Hostettler). Her "disciples" are exactly like the deceased Max: shaved head, tattoos on the face and cornea - an incredibly painful process.

A second track leads via Kyomi to the gallery owner Bruno Escher (Fabian Krüger). He markets Kyomi's art and could capitalize on Max's death. Would Escher go that far?
While Isabelle puts the unscrupulous gallery owner through the cracks, Tessa deals with Kyomi's way of thinking and working: her followers should wear the pain of her past on their skin like art objects and reflect it in their eyes. Did this philosophy lead to Max's death as the ultima ratio of the mind game? Isabelle Grandjean observes Tessa Ott's apparent fascination with Kyomi with great concern: does her colleague run the risk of being instrumentalised by the artist? Is the bright-eyed Kyomi trying to play cat and mouse with the police herself? Or did Beat Gessner not tell the whole truth?

Falke and Grosz are entrusted with a delicate task under strict discretion: 17-year-old Juan Mendez (Riccardo Campione) has disappeared from a fine boarding school where celebrities and elites from business and politics have their children educated. Juan's father is the ambassador of an authoritarian country whose president is about to pay a state visit to Germany. The questionable despot is known for having members of the opposition and journalists arrested and tortured. While Juan's girlfriend Hanna (Valerie Stoll) fears the worst, his best friend August (Anselm Ferdinand Bresgott) suspects that the boy just wants to avoid the official celebrations of the state visit.
Whatever is behind it, Juan's disappearance puts the Bergson couple (Katarina Gaub and Christian Erdmann), who run the school, in distress. The good reputation of the school is its most important asset. In the course of the investigations by Falke and Grosz, the boy's bodyguard comes under suspicion, especially when a blackmail letter appears: Juan's kidnappers are trying to free imprisoned opponents of the regime and journalists... 

Max Ballauf and Freddy Schenk are on duty on the banks of the Rhine in the early morning. A man's body was washed up here. He was a mechanic on board a pleasure boat and apparently involved in a fight shortly before his death. When Chief Inspector Schenk contacts the captain of the "Agrippina", the case takes a dramatic turn: Daniel Huberty, a former ship, is on board the ship that has just cast offHigh school teacher who now threatens, "I'll blow up the ship if you don't comply with my demands." He demands justice. It did not exist in the court case when he was sentenced to imprisonment for a liaison with an underage student. Now the people he considers guilty of having destroyed his existence are to be brought on board...

Eisner (Harald Krassnitzer) and Fellner (Adele Neuhauser) are called to a crystal clear case: two dead bodies and a perpetrator who alerts the police himself and waits for the investigators at the crime scene. Murder weapon, motive and factual confession included. Murder out of jealousy, a paraded husband who lost his nerve. Everything could have gone so "smoothly" if the country's most cunning lawyer hadn't taken on the defense of the accused and obtained an acquittal. Shortly thereafter, the lawyer himself ends up on the autopsy table - and the acquitted disappears without a trace. To top it all off, Inkasso Heinzi (Simon Schwarz), an old acquaintance of Moritz and Bibi, turns up to once again put the friendship of the two to a hard test.

After an autumn storm, a skeletonized body is found under an uprooted oak tree. As Borowski suspects very quickly, it is the remains of his first girlfriend Susanne. When Borowski was 16, he wanted to hitchhike with her to the legendary Jimi Hendrix performance on Fehmarn. After an argument, however, Susanne disappeared without a trace. Borowski had tirelessly tried to explain the disappearance. What was a gloomy suspicion at the time is now abruptly bitter certainty when the forensic doctor Kroll unequivocally identifies the corpse. More determined than ever and without consulting his colleagues, Borowski pursues the unexpected opportunity to catch the perpetrator after all these years.

In the middle of the night, a young couple calls the police. In a forest on the outskirts of Frankfurt, the two discovered a woman's body. But when the chief inspectors Anna Janneke (Margarita Broich) and Paul Brix (Wolfram Koch) arrive there, the body is gone. A car registered to Maria Gombrecht (Victoria Trauttmansdorff) was observed near the suspected crime scene. Although the car has also disappeared, massive traces of blood indicate that Maria was the victim of a crime. Confronted with this fact, husband Ulrich Gombrecht (Uwe Preuss) and two daughters Kristina (Odine Johne) and Judith (Julia Riedler) continue to cling to the fact that Maria is in France for fasting and will reappear.
Gombrecht is seriously ill, Kristina is heavily pregnant, and Judith is going through difficult rehearsals as a theater director. For the investigators, it initially looks like a robbery, but then the traces lead right into the middle of the family. Janneke and Brix soon discover that everyone here has secrets from each other. And in the end, the truth is far more gruesome than expected. 

The young IT specialist Lukas Wagner (Caspar Schuchmann) is brutally murdered near his sports club for no apparent motive. At his place of work, a Nuremberg freight forwarding company, Lukas was very much appreciated. His boss Weinhardt (Götz Otto) had big plans for him. The world falls apart for Lukas' parents. They investigate on their own, while Lukas' new girlfriend, Mia Bannert (Julie Engelbrecht), is the single mother of a smallDaughter who seems to be keeping a dangerous secret. She's scared to death. But why? The traces of the crime remind Voss (Fabian Hinrichs) and Ringelhahn (Dagmar Manzel) of an unsolved crime. But what does the murder of Lukas Wagner have to do with the case six months ago? The investigators are circling around two cases at the same time and have to keep an eye on Lukas' desperate parents (Valentina Sauca, Karl Markovics).

Nine-year-old Marlon is found dead at his school. He was pushed down the stairs and shows signs of a previous struggle. Lena Odenthal and Johanna Stern soon noticed that this death caused ambivalent reactions at school: Marlon's conspicuous behavior made him an outsider who pushed his teachers, his own parents and also those of his classmates to their limits. It is depressing for the inspectors that in MarlonsSurroundings almost more relief than sadness is felt at his death. Lena and Johanna are all the more dependent on Marlon's only friend Pit and his only adult ally, the social worker Anton Leu, for their investigations. Piece by piece, the inspectors reconstruct the last days of a boy who couldn't cope with his own emotions and whom not a few wanted to get rid of.

A body is recovered from the Spree. A little later, Nina Rubin is being followed by a young woman. Julie Bolshakov knew the dead man and asks Rubin for help. Her husband Yasha is a leading member of the Russian mafia. Protecting the witness and investigating the family's criminal environment pose unexpected challenges for Rubin and Karow in their last joint case.

Julie Bolshakov (Bella Dayne) tells the detective that she witnessed a murder and asks Rubin for police protection. She knew the dead man from the Spree, he had revealed to her that her husband Yasha (Oleg Tikhomirov) is a leading member of the Russian mafia in Berlin .
Rubin decides to help the young woman and initiates the crime director (Nadeshda Brennicke). Julie wants to be included in a witness protection program if she can produce incriminating material about her husband in return. However, contact with Julie puts Rubin in a dilemma, because from now on she has to keep Karow (Mark Waschke) out of the investigation so as not to endanger the young woman. Karow investigates the identity of the dead man, but senses more and more that his colleague is hiding things from him. Trust has been a thorny issue between the two from the start, and Rubin's behavior hurts Karow — especially since they've also become closer privately. All the more the old problem breaks out again. In her latest case, will Nina Rubin be able to free Julie from the clutches of her crime family?

At first glance, the Bremen detectives Liv Moormann (Jasna Fritzi Bauer) and Linda Selb (Luise Wolfram) are dealing with the suicide of a mentally ill woman. After an apartment fire, the tenant's body is found in her hermetically sealed bedroom. The woman in the wedding dress died of a shot in the head, on the wall a cryptic message: The devil is speaking through the walls and wants to get someone.
Liv Moormann refuses to be investigated because she is haunted by her own old demons around the house. But her colleague Linda Selb really wants to find out who the devil is. It turns out that Susanne Kramer's little daughters disappeared after school. What happened to the girls? Did the devil take her?
The investigators realize that Susanne Kramer's death (Ilona Thor) won't be the only misfortune if they don't react quickly. Susanne Kramer's family environment describes the woman strangely unanimously as unstable, she even mutilated herself in earlier years. Who to trust? How is the excitement of the separated husband (Matthias Matschke) and his pregnant girlfriend (Milena Kaltenbach) to be interpreted? Is the concern of the grandparents (Ulrike Krumbiegel, Thomas Schendel) credible? What does the neighbor Gernot Schaballa (Aljoscha Stadelmann), who claims to have heard shots, know? And what role does the caretaker of the school, Joachim Conradi (Dirk Martens), who is desperately struggling with his pedophile inclination, play?
It's a race against time as witnesses die before the detectives can ask their questions. Liv Moormann must confront her confusing memories to find out who the devil is together with Linda Selb. This is the only way they can find the missing children.

A wife initially disappears without a trace from her house, which was obviously broken into. Traces of blood suggest the worst. Her husband Simon Fischer called the police, but then left the house. Gorniak, Winkler and Schnabel initiate a large-scale search for Kathrin Fischer. The desperate Fischer himself quickly becomes the focus of the investigations: the traces in the house were manipulated, apparently the break-in was faked - but the forensic technicians found older blood residue... Neighbors and colleagues give different statements, but there are indications that Fischer beat his wife and terrorized.
Did he want to prevent her from leaving him, killed her and faked a kidnapping? Or did Kathrin Fischer secretly prepare the escape and stage the bloody deed to incriminate her husband because she can only be safe from him when he is in prison? Her friend Beate Lindweg plays a dubious role in this marriage: Before Kathrin, she was in a relationship with Simon Fischer... The Dresden investigators have to find out what happened and descend into the abyss of a toxic marriage.

When Julia Grosz' friend Ela, who infiltrated the left-wing autonomist scene in Hamburg as an undercover investigator for the LKA, disappears without a trace, Grosz goes in search of her. Under a false identity, she enters the hedonistic, liberal milieu in which her friend seems to have lost herself. Falke supports Grosz - and at the same time investigates in the case of an arson attack, which initially resulted in aseries of politically motivated acts of violence seems to follow. But when the boundaries become increasingly blurred for Grosz and Falke encounters questionable internal police information, both stumble. Only when both investigators pull together can they identify the person responsible for the arson attack, who is also involved in Ela's disappearance - and is much closer to her than initially suspected. 

Alois Meininger (Martin Leutgeb), a convicted murderer, is released from preventive detention after more than 30 years, commits another murder and goes into hiding. No one can provide any clues as to where he might be staying - the last hope lies with his former therapist Norbert Prinz (Peter Franke), who is now suffering from dementia. But how can you interview someone with dementia? In collaboration with the renownedNeuropsychologist Prof. Vonderheiden (André Jung) starts a criminological pilot project: The former practice room is to be resurrected as a backdrop and the demented test person is to be led inside. The inspectors hope to be able to elicit valuable information from him. But in the course of the experiment, Batic (Miroslav Nemec) and Leitmayr (Udo Wachtveitl) reveal deeper abysses than initially assumed.

Heike Makatsch and Sebastian Blomberg as persistent detectives from Mainz in a case involving two girlfriends and a young lover. Bibiana Dubinski, best ager, wealthy and determined to enjoy life for as long as possible, dies of insulin shock. Her close friend Charlotte Mühlen, less wealthy but recently happily in love with young Hannes Petzold, inherits the villa and fortune. Two friends in the so-called prime of life, one rich, the other heiress, plus a 30-year-old ex-con who is ensnaring the heiress – is it experience, instinct or a fallacy that all the alarm bells are ringing for Ellen Berlinger? She is convinced that a crime has happened and suspects Hannes Petzold. But the evidence is not very reliable and prosecutor Winterstein closes the case.
Martin Rascher persistently fought for a tight window of opportunity for further investigations. The detectives comb through the entire case again, putting pressure on Charlotte Mühlen with suspicions about her lover.

Investment banker Ann-Kathrin Werfel is cruelly killed. The first suspicion falls on her ex-husband, whom she had accused of domestic violence. Patrick Werfel, however, presents the inspectors Lena Odenthal and Johanna Stern with a well-attested alibi. Clues from where the body was found lead the inspectors to Hajo Kessler, who is a soldier in the Bundeswehr. Kessler states that he did not know Ann-Kathrin Werfel , but his car was seen near the site. In the survey, he is correct, almost charming. But he's prone to freaks out - and they seem to have something to do with the fact that it's women who are questioning him. The evidence is thin. But Lena Odenthal is convinced that the suspect is simmering with the deep-seated hatred of women that led to Werfel's murder.

The top lawyer Corinne Perrault shows no mercy when it comes to the interests of her clients. One morning she is floating dead in Lake Zurich. What appears to be a suicide turns out to be an insidious murder. As a lawyer for the law firm Clement & Widmer, she represented the up-and-coming pharmaceutical company Argon. Allegedly, their drug Volmelia caused devastating damage during the test phase - for example with Klara Canetti. The girl is in a wheelchair because of a rare disease. After taking Volmelia, Klara's condition has now worsened. Now her mother has sued Argon. There is a lot at stake for the group, because the outrageously expensive drug is about to be approved. In the event of a ban, the company with its shooting star Dr.
Regula Arnold misses many millions, which makes the pharmaceutical woman the main suspect in the murder of Corinne Perrault, especially in the eyes of Tessa. Perrault's death causes dismay in the firm. The noble company loses a qualified colleague. For lawyer Matteo Riva, Corinne was more than that, and boss Martina Widmer also had a lot in common with the dead. But Isabelle and Tessa do not trust the demonstrative dismay of the two. Then the commissioners find out that Corinne had given up the Volmelia mandate and was on sick leave for a longer period of time. The investigators are still pursuing a third lead – mainly at the instigation of Isabelle. In her eyes, Klara's mother Dorit has a double motive for murder.
The hatred of Corinne Perrault, who aggressively attacked her daughter in a survey, as well as the prospect of high financial compensation. Isabelle tries to gain Klara's trust. Then Klara collapses while being questioned by her and has to be put into an artificial coma. Isabelle blames herself because she feels guilty about Klara's condition. In addition, the girl is missing an important witness who could shed light on the death of Corinne Perrault.

Ben Dellien only had to walk a few steps on the wet evening street to the ditch, where the cyclist he just hit is lying. But the babysitter has to be relieved, an order has to be completed - Ben is under pressure and just keeps going. The next day, while Thorsten Lannert and Sebastian Bootz begin their investigations into hit and run and involuntary manslaughter and put together the first clues, remorse gnaws at Ben. Why didn't he stop? The lawyer and family man is aware that this was a mistake. Nevertheless, he prefers to cover up the traces of the accident rather than turn himself in. After all, that wouldn't bring the dead man back to life, but it would destroy the Delliens' lives, Ben and his wife Johanna agree on that.Vogt pays off, they get closer and closer to Ben. They also run into Laura Rensing, who works at a car wash and could probably help them if she were willing to testify. Ben also fears that Laura has drawn her conclusions and is trying to unobtrusively influence her in his favour. But Laura doesn't want to be drawn into the case if possible and seems to be insensitive to pressure, no matter from which side...
It's the situation motorists fear: a moment of inattention, a distraction - and an irreparable accident has happened. In "Tatort - The Murderer in Me" author and director Niki Stein confronts the Stuttgart inspectors Lannert and Bootz, the inattentive driver and the spectators with this situation and poses the question of how to deal with the consequences.

Inspector Murot (Ulrich Tukur) is engaged in a conversation at a hotel bar by a younger woman (Anna Unterberger). Over a glass of red wine, Murot plays with her and cheerfully pretends to be an insurance salesman. The next morning he wakes up in his hotel room with no wallet and no memory of what happened. Murot hides from his employee Wächter (Barbara Philipp) that he has been robbed by a con artist. But Wächter is already watching him suspiciously, because that same night a high-ranking IT expert (Dirk Martens) was found murdered in the hotel. There are suspicions that the con artist is involved in the murder and disappearance of a high-risk laptop.
While Wächter is busy investigating the case, Murot is confronted with his past: the young woman has wormed her way into his life and is forcing Murot to reconstruct incidents that happened many years ago on a holiday trip. Murot is overcome by the fear that he has taken the guilt on himself.

Manfred Gabler is found dead at the bottom of a staircase. Numerous injuries indicate that he cannot simply have fallen, but was severely abused in a hopeless fight before his death. For Moritz Eisner (Harald Krassnitzer) and Bibi Fellner (Adele Neuhauser), there are only very few immediately usable traces around the place where the corpse was found. Nevertheless, some peculiarities are noticeable from the beginning: Manfred Gabler was a Catholic priest, he had remarkably few social contacts - and strangely enough an amulet with the Satanic symbol with him.
A possible reason for this is soon found: Prelate Gabler was active on a special mission, he was one of the few priests in the so-called liberation service, which is still the case in many countries and diocesesthere – Gabler was what is commonly called an exorcist. Shortly before his death, as Eisner and Fellner soon find out, he had an appointment with an unknown person "N" - possibly an important witness. But nobody can tell the two who this person is, nobody knows a name or an address. Moritz and Bibi take a closer look at the dead man's surroundings.
Gabler's successor in office did not always agree with his methods, a somewhat eccentric scientist is interested in data that Gabler is said to have possessed, the psychiatrist who regularly examined Gabler's clients is deliberately taciturn, and what role does a former pimp play ( Roland Düringer) in this case? And above all: Where is the motive for a murder?

The ideal world of Göttingen is shaken by a serial predator who ambushes women in remote corners and forces them to engage in sexual activities. The "Viking", as the man is called in the press, has so far left his victims alive. When the body of the student Mira is found in a small park by a lake, Charlotte Lindholm and Anaïs Schmitz wonder whether the "Viking" could have gone a step further this time. An eyewitness describes the perpetrator as a man of immigrant origin. But the witness appears biased. Is his statement really reliable? In order not to lose any time, Charlotte Lindholm initiates an extended origin analysis of the DNA from the crime scene.

Inspectors Anna Janneke (Margarita Broich) and Paul Brix (Wolfram Koch) are confronted with the death of six women and men, all of whom took part in a psycholysis session and died during the therapy session. As part of their investigation, they come across Dr. Adrian Goser (Martin Wuttke), a controversial psychoanalyst and the sole survivor. Goser is known for conducting a particular form of psychoanalysis that uses psychedelic drugs to achieve absolute self-knowledge. While Brix considers Goser to be an impostor who consciously steers his patients into addiction, Janneke remains ambivalent about his therapy.
In the hope thatIn order to be able to reconstruct the last hours before the crime, Goser is brought to his villa as the main suspect to inspect the crime scene. While the investigators put pressure on Goser and hope for a confession, he denies any guilt and positions himself as the victim of a cruel act, the exact circumstances of which he cannot remember. During the inspection, all entrances to the house are suddenly blocked by an unknown person and a first shot is fired. Is Goser telling the truth? Is this an attack by the actual perpetrator, who now also wants to execute the last victim? And what does the performance artist Ellen (Aenne Schwarz), who disappeared a year ago, have to do with the case?

Chief inspectors Max Ballauf and Freddy Schenk are called to a canal on the outskirts of town. A 19-year-old drug addict has been murdered. It quickly turns out that the victim, Lara Krohn, went on the street for her addiction. Her best friend, Kim, who is the same age, suspects that Lara was murdered by a customer. coroner dr. Roth is able to secure several traces of foreign DNA on the corpse. Due to the many in questionperpetrators, the inspectors are heavily dependent on the laboratory evaluation of these traces. But in this situation, of all things, in which they urgently need the help of their colleague Natalie Förster from forensic technology, she is not really focused. Why does Natalie suddenly seem so agitated and seems to be deliberately delaying investigation results? And why does she suddenly start looking for the culprit on her own?

One morning, Gerd Vogt and his five-year-old son Noah disappeared without a trace from their single-family home in a new housing estate in Breisgau. A large amount of blood in the bedroom indicates a possible crime. Possibly a knee-jerk action by the depressive father? Gerd's wife Sandra was allegedly not at home that night. But because of her odd behavior and because of the contradictory statements about the Vogts' marriage, she appears in a dubious light. It is clear that Sandra is hiding a lot from Franziska Tobler and Friedemann Berg. But whether that's relevant to the case or not is something the inspectors have yet to find out. Because Sandra Vogt doesn't reveal anything, not even when she becomes the main suspect in a murder case. 

Prof. Boerne gives a humorous farewell speech to his old friend Friedhelm Fabian and his wife Veronika. In addition to the Münster celebrities, Commissioner Thiel, assistant Silke Haller and public prosecutor Wilhelmine Klemm also listen to the spirited statements. But crime never sleeps and on the other side of town a dissatisfied client threatens his lawyer Nikolas Weber. When Inspector Thiel was called to his run-down office the next morning, he immediately recognized the dead man as Nino Agostini's house and court attorney. Thiel believes the dangerous mafia boss is capable of cold-blooded murder. Thiel would also love to convict Agostini and put him behind bars forever. But the dead man's former partner, Erik Nowak, is also suspicious.
He spent the last few weeks in a psychiatric clinic and is currently visiting his father's farm in Münster... Meanwhile, in forensic medicine, Prof. Boerne is struggling with the consequences of last night. It was getting late at the farewell party and Silke Haller does not miss the fact that Boerne mourns the departure of Veronika Fabian almost more than that of his childhood friend Friedhelm... 

Reporter Brigitte Burkhard is abducted on the open street in Dresden. Her kidnapper, who hides his face behind a mask, sends a video message to the police. Inspectors Karin Gorniak, Leonie Winkler and their boss Peter Michael Schnabel are confronted with the claim that 150 children kidnapped in Saxony are being held captive in a Dresden cellar. If they are not freed within 24 hours, Brigitte Burkhard must die. The police are feverishly looking for the alleged hiding place for the children, and a special task force storms a possible restaurant. But there are no traces of a crime here. The detectives can not find the kidnapped journalist either. Schnabel sees no other way than to go public.
The next morning, Schnabel himself is in the hands of the perpetrator. Gorniak and Winkler are able to clarify his identity: Michael Sobotta has been desperately missing his daughter Zoe, who disappeared on a school trip, for years. While Gorniak and Winkler are trying at full speed to determine Schnabel's whereabouts, the kidnapper, deep in the swamp of confused conspiracy fantasies, gives the inspectors another absurd ultimatum: Gorniak and Winkler can only save their boss's life if they dig up the child molester ring...
