E18Yesterday Never HappenedA normal weekday. The chief inspectors Ivo Batic and Franz Leitmayr are called to the outskirts of Munich. Max Lasinger is waiting excitedly in a glass shop behind the front building, where he confesses he had seen light and wanted to catch a "burglar". When he attacked, he lashed out, but was it self-defense? And will his dementia make his confession untrustworthy? - Nasse Sachen
E19Nasse SachenAt night in an industrial area in Leipzig: the corpse of the used car dealer Jannis Kerides is found on the street, thrown from a moving car. For the chief inspectors Eva Saalfeld and Andreas Keppler, everything points to a dispute among criminal car dealers. When the commissioners want to take a close look at Kerides' workshop, Eva Saalfeld feels threatened by his German business partner Georg Hantschel and seriously injures him with a shot. Eva blames herself, especially since Hantschel's weapon was not found in the subsequent examinations. The next day, an employee of Kerides, 65-year-old Walter Rimbach, is found dead in his apartment. The commissioners can clarify that Rimbach was Kerides' murderer. But you wonder whether this was really about the used car business, or whether there were other family motives behind these crimes. Both the deeply indebted daughter of the murdered Rimbach, Karla, had reasons for the act, as well as Thomas Kramm, who had threatened Rimbach shortly before in his workshop, because he blamed him for the mysterious disappearance of his father in 1983. To her surprise, she also finds the name Horst Saalfeld in the copies of the Stasi files that Eva is securing from Kramm. For the first time, the Commissioner learns of the details of the death of her father, who tragically died in 1983 while on the job. Her further investigations bring her into conflict with her past, which she believed to be closed. - Mauerpark
E30MauerparkRitter and Stark are visited in the presidium by Vogt, a young and annoying madman who claims to be followed. Ritter throws him out. A little later the commissioners are called to the corpse of a man. A well-known lawyer was murdered. Vogt also wanders around the crime scene in the Mauerpark. Ritter and Stark investigate the past of defense attorney Herzog and come across threatening letters from one of his mandates, Muller. The commissioners question him and get caught up in a case 25 years ago that involved the kidnapping of a baby from an industrialist family. At that time, Muller went to prison as the main suspect and the commissioners are surprised that he is now living and working again as a caretaker for Ina Kilian, a charity lady known in Berlin and aunt of the baby who was kidnapped at the time. You wonder what Vogt has to do with all of this, and you gradually discover the masterful plan of a former victim who is now the perpetrator. - Borowski and the Cool Dog
E31Borowski and the Cool DogTwo seemingly unrelated cases bring Germany and Sweden together to catch a serial killer. In Kiel, a man jumps into a bathing lake - and is impaled by bamboo sticks.
