In between taking care of their new baby they follow a trail leading to carnivals and nudist colonies. A swinging city official appears to be leading a double life. - Vienna - Codename Kidon
E2Vienna - Codename KidonA man falls from the top floor of a luxury hotel in Vienna. The Iranian diplomat and nuclear physicist Dr. Bansari apparently committed suicide. But why did he buy expensive opera tickets for the same evening? Moritz Eisner and his colleague Bibi Fellner want to investigate the matter, 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 cell phone are confiscated. The two investigators are annoyed, but do not give up. The hotel's surveillance video leads them to the trail of the shady lobbyist Johannes Leopold Trachtenfels-Lissé. He has arranged a secret deal with Dr. Bansari. Eisner and Fellner find out that the case involves valves and pumps that are needed for nuclear reactors. A trainload of the high-quality components is to be sent to Iran via third countries. For the two investigators, a race against time begins - and against the Israeli secret service Mossad. - Borowski and the Crystal Sky
E5Borowski and the Crystal SkyThe 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. - Borowski and the Children of Gaarden
E13Borowski and the Children of GaardenThe 60-year-old alcoholic Onno Steinhaus is found dead in a working-class district of Kiel. Steinhaus had a criminal record for pedophilia and, as Borowski and Brandt quickly find out, lived in complete isolation. Ironically, however, a group of children seemed to have gone in and out of the dead man. Apparently they exploited the dead man's desires, but - as they claim at least - never complied with his wishes. The police officer responsible for the district, Thorsten Rausch, seems to have capitulated in view of the social neglect in his area. Sarah Brandt's investigations bring to light a video that shows a boy - Timo Scholz - in a catchy situation with Onno Steinhaus. Timo denies having been abused. Borowski has to observe that Sarah Brandt is conspicuously often trying to get close to her police colleague Rausch. - Voss - 01 - Der Himmel ist ein Platz auf Erden
E15Voss - 01 - Der Himmel ist ein Platz auf ErdenWhat the French call "Petite Mort" ends fatally in a forest near Nuremberg. Christian Ranstedt, married and father of two children, professor at the University of Erlangen and respected citizen of the city of Nuremberg, was killed by two shots in the head at close range while making love in his car. When the police arrive, both car doors are open. The driver's seat with the dead Ranstedt is pushed back far. The person who was in the car with him has disappeared. Nothing indicates their identity. Ranstedt's wife Julia believed her husband at the university. For her and her two children, a world suddenly collapses that seemed indestructible. Why was Christian Ranstedt murdered? Why in such a spicy moment? And how come whoever was in the car with him survived? - Erkläre Chimäre!
E21Erkläre Chimäre!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. In the meantime, Professor Karl-Friedrich Boerne has announced a visit from overseas. 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 on Gustav's behalf. - Ihr werdet gerichtet
E26Ihr werdet gerichtetIt 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 and Liz Ritschard are dealing with a serial offender. And they realize that the seemingly randomly chosen 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 are ensuring that numerous other crimes are being put on the back burner. Reto Flückiger and Liz Ritschard do everything they can to stop the self-proclaimed avenger before more people die. - The Last Oktoberfest
E28The Last OktoberfestFranz Leitmayr leaves town for Oktoberfest because he can't stand it, but is called back because his fingerprints are on a dead man's wallet. The victim appeared drunk but has almost no blood alcohol level. His GHB level is another story, and shutting down the beer tent where he obtained his tainted alcohol is a problem during Oktoberfest. And the victims continue to pile up. - Batic - 71 - Einmal wirklich sterben
E37Batic - 71 - Einmal wirklich sterbenTwo shots are fired in a family home in Munich. Batic and Leitmayr find Michaela Danzer dead and her partner Daniel Ruppert unconscious. Quirin, the dead man's six-year-old son, has disappeared along with the murder weapon. During the emergency operation, the doctor discovers a scar from an old gunshot wound on Daniel Ruppert's abdomen, leading Batic and Leitmayr to the trail of an attempted family suicide in Augsburg fifteen years ago. Back then, in an act of sheer desperation, Daniel Ruppert shot his wife and young son. He himself survived, as did his then seven-year-old daughter Ella, whom he couldn't bring himself to shoot. He dismissed her before turning the gun on himself. The fact that the perpetrator from back then is the victim of today is a major headache for Batic and Leitmayr, as is the search for Ella, who is now a young woman and whose trail is lost after numerous therapies. Who shot Ruppert and his new wife that night? And where is Quirin? - Episode 40
E40Episode 40Felix Murot and Magda Wächter are called to the parking garage of a casino in Wiesbaden in the morning where a dead man was found in a stairwell. While securing evidence, Murot discovers another body in the trunk of a car. He finds out that one of the dead had just won a large amount of money, but the money has disappeared. Was it really all about money or is there more to the murders? Then it happens: Ulrich Tukur himself is suspected of murder. A film within a film. Tukur, who plays Tukur, quickly realizes that there are no loyalties in the film industry. But he also poses other questions related to the nature of cinematic illusion and his own role in the hilarious game of genre contradictions, a self-reflective game in which the main character spins around himself in interesting turns. What is it actually like when you play a commissioner, while you are actually Ulrich Tukur, although you are only playing him here? "Who am I?"
