Homicide Hills
Season 5
Mord mit Aussicht is a German satirical crime comedy television series, produced by ARD, following the adventures of Sophie Haas, a detective from the city that takes a job in the fictional country village of Hengasch. Much of the humour of the series derives from the clichés of both city and provincial lives, in a similar manner to the English comedy crime series Midsomer Murders.

- Furcht und Schrecken
E1Furcht und SchreckenMarie Gabler has stayed in Hengasch involuntarily and must first come to terms with the fact that things are not going well at the police station. Her colleague Fuß, who would have liked to become head of the station, creates a tense atmosphere; and junior police officer Jenny Dickel tries bravely to de-escalate the situation. Marie also wants to move out of her chalet, but the people of Hengasch are not keen to accommodate the still-unfamiliar police inspector. When Mrs. Runkelbach finally shows her the apartment of an undesirable tenant, the man is lying dead in the bathtub. But when the internal auditor from the Cologne police headquarters, Marvin Hartwigsen, turns up and threatens to close the station, the problems for Marie and the village only begin. - Maibaum-Massaker
E2Maibaum-MassakerIn order to finally give Hengasch a reputation, Mehmet and Arthur ensure that the maypole tradition is revived. But things don't go according to plan. In Jenny's garden, not only are most of the tokens of love decorated as maypoles found, but also a dead body. Marie suspects the murderer is among the maypole erectors, who all have to be interrogated, but she also carefully shields Jenny, who is completely overwhelmed by the many admirers. When a song about Jenny is heard on the radio, Marie has to start her investigation again. Meanwhile, Marie also receives a tree from Gisbert, who would like her to live on his farm. Heike, on the other hand, is furious that Heino didn't even put one for her out of appreciation. - Die Bestechlichen
E3Die BestechlichenEven though Marie doesn't want to stay in the chalet, Gisbert's offer to move into his newly renovated servants' quarters still makes her uneasy. A corpse in a hay bale on Müller Schlichting's meadow offers her a welcome distraction. It is Albert Appel, who runs a desolate farm with his brother Kai and is also a referee in the regional league. Marie's investigations lead her into the world of football and to two rival clubs, which are also run by a feuding ex-couple. The appearance of a frightened young Bulgarian woman on Gisbert's farm, Barisa, not only complicates the case, but, as it soon turns out, also the private harmony between Gisbert and Marie. - Der Prozess
E4Der ProzessMarie wants to come to terms with her past and is expecting a visit from her unloved sister Rosi, who is now with her ex-husband Klaus. It's a good thing that there is only one case pending for the arbitration board at the station: Müller Schlichting and his wife Jutta accuse Otmar of taking the family turtle from Leonie, freezing it and thus killing it. Zielonka gleefully leaves the case to Heike. A tough test, because the children's argument escalates and opens up old wounds among those present. While Heike doesn't want to fail under any circumstances, Jenny gets advice from Marie over the phone, who, however, has little understanding for a simple "turtle murder". - Operation Heilige Kuh

Only when Marie finds out that Ragulan's community wanted to settle in Hengasch does she get closer to the truth. Meanwhile, Marie seeks Gisbert's advice about the unpleasant divorce deal that Rosi suggested to her, and at the same time struggles with her growing jealousy of Barisa, who will stay on Gisbert's farm as an employee.
