E18Munich - At the End of the HallThere is a point in every human being when they are lonely. Lisa Brenner knew that moment. When her body is found one gray morning in front of a high-rise building, having fallen from the 12th floor balcony, she leaves behind a number of men who adored and loved her. Lisa was so close and devoted to all of them that in the end nobody knew if he was really her favorite. A tricky case that also deeply shakes the trust between Leitmayr and Batic. - Verfolgt
E23VerfolgtA young woman is found murdered in an apartment in Lucerne. For Reto Flückiger and his colleague Liz Ritschard, everything initially indicates a relationship act. Thomas Behrens, the lover of the murder victim, is suspected. But the IT specialist recently disappeared. Surprisingly, his wife Ilka alerted the police. She is followed by an unknown car with tinted windows. Apparently her husband is trying to intimidate her because she wants to leave him. Flückiger takes care of the seemingly disturbed woman, but finds neither clues to the wanted nor to any persecutor. In the meantime, Behrens faces the authorities. The computer scientist claims they wanted to kill him because he stole sensitive account data from his employer, a well-known private bank. When he panics and rioted in the interrogation room, he was admitted to a psychiatric ward. He takes his own life that same night, but for Flückiger it doesn't look like suicide. Suddenly he feels persecuted too. - The Desert Son

E36Das verkaufte LächelnThe body of 14-year-old Tim Kiener is found at the Isar weir. The boy was shot at close range. There is no apparent motive for the crime. Tim had neither problems with his parents nor with his classmates. When he wasn't out with his friends Hanna and Florian, he sat at his computer and allegedly developed apps and websites to supplement his pocket money. As investigators examine Tim's computer, they discover something they never thought possible: the boy has been offering revealing photos and videos of himself to a growing clientele through his own paid website. He's chatted with adult customers, stripped naked on webcam, and got paid for it through gift lists. So is one of his website customers Tim's killer? The traces in the network lead the Munich chief inspectors Batic and Leitmayr to a family man who trains young footballers in his free time. But Guido Buchholtz seems to have an alibi. Inspector Kalli Hammermann's background investigations into Tim's clientele don't lead any further either. While Batic is ironically concentrating on proving that Buchholtz was actually at the scene of the crime, Christine Lerch, head of the operational case analysis, doubts whether Buchholtz was the perpetrator. Leitmayr, on the other hand, wonders who is actually the perpetrator and who is the victim in online transactions. Meanwhile, Tim's parents are stunned by the facts. They find that their boy has been doing things online that they had no idea about. Tim's friends Hanna and Flo, on the other hand, seem to be familiar with it.
