A Saar-Palatinate football derby keeps all the emergency services in Saarbrücken on tenterhooks, including the chief commissioners Leo Hölzer, Adam Schürk, Esther Baumann and Pia Heinrich. After the game, a death was reported in the emergency room. Andreas Schneider collapsed in the emergency room with skull fractures and a stab wound and could not be saved. It quickly turns out that he spent the “third half” at a field match. But whether he also suffered the fatal injuries there remains unclear for the time being. Because as much as the hooligan groups are enemies, they also agree that the biggest and common enemy is the police. Therefore, they confront the Saarbrücken team with silence and clarify their struggles among themselves. Adam Schürk also hides certain truths. However, when he is attacked at his home because someone is looking for the millions from his father's bank robbery, he has to let Leo Hölzer know. - Down in the valley

While Moritz Eisner, Bibi Fellner and Meret Shame begin to investigate the case, the picture they get of the victim changes several times. Was he popular now? Or not? An unscrupulous guy or someone with a conscience? One who would win hearts, or one who didn't give a damn if he made enemies? In any case, the case is becoming increasingly opaque and depressing. Because when the circle of suspects finally gets smaller, another crime happens that puts the investigators under pressure and faces dramatic decisions... In their new case, Moritz Eisner and his colleague Bibi Fellner have to deal with the murder of a young, extremely successful IT employee who is difficult to picture.

E9HacklYoung Adam Moser has a fatal accident on his motorcycle at night. But the death raises questions and ultimately leads inspectors Ivo Batic and Franz Leitmayr to Munich's Hasenbergl. Here the dead man lived with his girlfriend in a small bungalow in the middle of the anonymous high-rise buildings in the district. Old Hackl lives in the house next door, a well-known troublemaker whose anger potential is notorious not only among the Munich police: Did he also have something against Adam? Enough that he had to die? As always, the old Grantler makes things difficult for the authorities and violently evades enforcement. The mood between Franz and Ivo is at its lowest point while a large-scale search for Hackl begins. There seems to be more hidden behind the cold, high facades: a world full of frustration, narrowness and envy. - Ballauf & Schenk - 87 - Abbruchkante
E10Ballauf & Schenk - 87 - AbbruchkanteAlmost all of Alt-Bützenich is deserted and boarded up. At night a security service checks on everything. It was decided that the houses and the church would have to give way to open-cast mining. Then the climate change brings new hope: the old village can stay.

The Bremen investigative team with Liv Moormann and Linda Selb begins the investigation and is supported by their Bremerhaven colleague Robert Petersen.

E12Nothing but the truth (1)Robert Karow is called to a crime scene. Everything indicates that the young security police officer Rebecca Kästner took her own life in her apartment the night before: drugs, custody dispute, excessive demands. But when Karow finds her four-year-old son Matti in the garden, he has doubts about the suicide. What mother does that in front of her child? Then the last call from the dead to an unusual number: Susanne Bonard, a former LKA great who now teaches at the police academy. She is a luminary whose standard work everyone knows. Before Karow knows it, she is at his side for the investigation in this case. Back on the road again at 62? Bonard was in the process of uncovering right-wing tendencies at her academy, no longer wanted to put up with her director's decreed muzzle and would take action against the dubious teaching methods of her colleague Götz Lennart. During the investigation into Rebecca's death, the detectives also found connections to the right-wing scene, which Bonard quickly suspected was a large right-wing network. Karow thinks that's paranoid. Until he and her have to realize that they are actually confronted with a larger context than initially thought. - Hidden
E14HiddenWhen his 17-year-old son Noah disappears, Jon Makoni turns to the police in desperation, even though it could be dangerous for him and his wife Hope to be targeted by the authorities: even though the Makonis have been living and working in Hanover for years , they have no papers and are therefore effectively non-existent. The investigators Falke and Grosz initially search for a smuggling network in Hanover. An unknown body is found in a truck. In the hope that the investigators will help him find his son, Jon offers himself as a witness. In order to clarify the identity of the dead man and save the missing Noah from a similar fate, Falke and Grosz penetrate deep into Hanover's shadow economy. - Love is Pain
E15Love is PainWhen Peter Faber joins Jan Pawlak and Rosa Herzog in the early morning, the forensics team is almost done with their work. Tram driver Hamza Arkadas was stabbed while working the night shift. There are no witnesses, but the images from the surveillance camera show how Arkadas was first provoked and then attacked by a young passenger. The perpetrator pointed his face aggressively at the camera before fleeing, but the recordings are of little help at first. He does not seem to be known to the police, and prosecutor Matuschek does not want to go public with the pictures yet. Rosa Herzog, who took over the acting management of the homicide squad in Faber's absence, gets support from police officer Beate Gräske. She is a "super-recognizer" with the special ability to recognize faces - much better than her colleagues and the technology can do. With the help of surveillance cameras, she sets out to track down the perpetrator. - Rope team
E16Rope teamAfter a charity event in a posh hotel on Lake Zurich, the evening's host is found murdered in his suite.

When Dominic Mercier, one of the organizers of the charity event, receives a threatening letter, the investigation turns into a race against time. When Isabel Grandjean examines the financial transactions with a mafia expert, she discovers a money laundering network that shows clear connections between the charity funds and the mafia. Meanwhile, Tessa Ott is following a different lead. This leads via a boxing club to an orphanage, whose director is also murdered a short time later. Here, too, there are special traces on the corpse, which Tessa now knows how to interpret. Tessa is increasingly convinced that personal motives underlie the murders. - Borowski and the Great Rage
E17Borowski and the Great RageA passerby is pushed in front of a moving truck at the Kiel Fjord: an outbreak of violence from nowhere. Commissioner Borowski is listening to a nearby vocational school. A little later, the main commissioner lands in the intensive care unit with a serious head injury. Mila Sahin is of the greatest concern. Why wasn't she with him when her colleague needed her? She suspects a connection between the senseless act and the attack on Borowski. And then there are these strange calls that reach the main commissioner on the bedside: a girl named Finja claims to have been kidnapped by his sister Celina. Celina Lübbert is one of the girls Borowski interrogated at the vocational school. - The secret lives of our children
E18The secret lives of our childrenMiriam Schenk and Paul Wolf and their almost grown children Zoé and Benno were a well-functioning patchwork family for years. The fact that there are cracks only becomes apparent when Benno's best friend Christopher is killed and the detectives Franziska Tobler and Friedemann Berg also investigate the Schenk-Wolf family's environment. Chris, they find out, was involved in the Freiburg drug scene and it seems obvious that his death had something to do with that. What did his close friend Benno know about it? After all, the two of them wanted to raise money for a trip around the world. And Zoé was also out and about with the two of them more than her parents ever noticed. Miriam and Paul's trust in their children and in each other is crumbling, while Tobler and Berg gather more and more evidence that their step-siblings are involved in dubious and increasingly dangerous financial transactions. - Game Over
E19Game OverLeitmayr and Batic are shocked by a cold-blooded murder: unknown people shoot a young policewoman during a traffic stop. The cruel act is not the only shock. The inspectors find out that the murderers may come from their own ranks. Their investigation then focuses on the lobby of an online tactical shooter game, where police officers meet to play. In order to get the names of the anonymous players, they infiltrate a young e-athlete into the group. Oskar is a shooting star in the scene. But he and his father have their own interests: They want to win an important tournament that is taking place in Munich at the same time at all costs. Even at the expense of Leitmayr and Batic's investigation... - Azra
E20AzraA young woman becomes the key in a case of organized crime: Azra has been working as an informant for the police for some time and, as an informant in the department for white-collar crime, is supposed to collect clues in the environment of the Datviani clan, which has grown dangerously. But then a murder occurs: the boss's brother is shot dead in front of one of his clubs, and the BKA begins investigating. When Moritz Eisner and Bibi Fellner arrive at the scene of the crime, it is difficult to foresee what could happen to them: an internal feud among the clan members or even a larger gang war? In any case, the people of Datviani keep their mouths shut, despite promised cooperation with the police, and the usual investigative methods only deliver disappointing results. However, when the investigators manage to get in touch with the informant Azra, the tide turns: after all, nobody gets as close to the suspects as she does. But even if the project sounds promising, it is highly risky and a real game with fire for both Eisner and Fellner as well as for Azra - which comes true at the latest when contact with her breaks off after an action and Azra can no longer be found. - Die Nacht der Kommissare
E22Die Nacht der KommissareFinally, there is some progress for the Stuttgart detectives in their current, dragging-on case of alleged drug trafficking resulting in death. At least that's what the message that Sebastian Bootz received from his colleague Thorsten Lannert seems to mean. The only trouble is that when Bootz finds his colleague, he's in a really good mood, but mentally far away from police work. Apparently someone gave him a hallucinogenic substance that doesn't help his concentration or memory. All that's left besides hilarity is the vague memory of an important deal that same night... Sebastian Bootz has a hard time putting the sparse clues together and tracking down the suspects. Especially since the support effort for the eager but not very goal-oriented Thorsten Lannert is high and the extraordinary potential for danger must not be ignored. - Erbarmen. Zu spät.
E24Erbarmen. Zu spät.Am Rande eines Waldgebietes fahren nachts zwei Autos über einen Feldweg. Darin Brix (Wolfram Koch) und weitere Polizeibeamte. Außerdem ein Verdächtiger, Anton Schilling (Niels Bormann), der kurz zuvor zur Polizei gekommen ist und berichtet hat, dass der Polizist Simon Laby (Sebastian Klein) erschossen und dann am Waldrand vergraben wurde. Die Suche verläuft schwierig. Schilling kann sich nicht mehr erinnern, wo die Stelle genau liegt. Es ist dunkel, er hat getrunken. Auch scheint er Angst zu haben. Als man schließlich das Waldhaus Labys durchsucht und dort große Mengen an Essensvorräten, Waffen, Munition und ein falsches Polizeiauto entdeckt, bekommt der Fall eine ganz neue Dimension. Ein alter Bekannter von Brix scheint in die Sache verstrickt zu sein. Brix kann oder will das zuerst nicht recht glauben. Janneke (Margarita Broich) aber vermutet schon bald, dass es bei der Suche in dieser einen Nacht nicht nur um einen Toten geht. - Bauernsterben
E27BauernsterbenMax Winkler, head of a pig farm, lies dead on the floor in the stable. Two Schoberhof employees find the body and notify the authorities. When Moritz and Bibi arrive at the crime scene, two Romanian cousins behave suspiciously, but don't seem to be the perpetrators. And just as the forensic investigators had begun to systematically search the stable, the automatic stable cleaning suddenly started and destroyed the few remaining traces. Little is known about the victim either: Max Winkler wanted to expand and become the big player in pig breeding in Austria. However, he was unsuccessful because the project of a feed factory, which he wanted to have built in Bulgaria with the support of the EU and in cooperation with an agricultural multinational operating from Vienna, had failed. The investigators targeted an animal protection NGO that repeatedly carried out acts of protest and sabotage at the Schoberhof. But then new movement comes into the case: Supported by an official from the European Anti-Fraud Authority and a lawyer from the European Public Prosecutor's Office, Moritz and Bibi get to the bottom of Winkler's international business entanglements. Aid fraud is likely to have been carried out on a large scale - and there was an anonymous complaint against the Bulgarian company a few weeks ago, which seems to indicate precise insider knowledge at Schoberhof. - Königinnen
E29KöniginnenThere was an attempted murder at the summit meeting of Bavarian product queens: the president of the Bavaria Association was attacked with a captive bolt gun and has been in intensive care ever since. Batic and Leitmayr discover that the victim exploited his position for sexual assault: no queen was safe from his harassment. So everyone had a motive to get back at him - including the organizer of Queen's Day. The investigators immerse themselves in the supposedly perfect world of the vegetable monarchy and investigate among hay bales, tractors and white and blue pennants; between asparagus, honey and white sausage queens from Aschaffenburg to Berchtesgaden. Fortunately, they receive support in their investigation: The Nördlingen Onion Queen is a police student in her civil life. - Episode 32
E32Episode 32A killed infant is found in a parking lot near Kiels. Where's the mother? Did she kill her child? A found entrance volume leads Klaus Borowski and Mila Sahin to the sleepy town of Wacken in Schleswig-Holstein, which wakes up once a year when the world's largest heavy metal festival attracts 80,000 fans. The first trace leads the commissioners to Caterer Michi, who apparently took the young mother with him. - Des anderen Last
E33Des anderen LastRushing through the city every day with hundreds of packages in the delivery van - in the run-up to Christmas it's pure stress for Milan Strasser.

The young father of a family is murdered in the middle of a residential area. When Ballauf and Schenk arrive at the crime scene, almost all of the packages have been searched and emptied. Do you have to investigate a robbery-murder? - Der Mann, der in den Dschungel fiel
E34Der Mann, der in den Dschungel fielInspector Thiel is faced with a challenge: instead of solving a murder, this time he has to prevent one. Meanwhile, Professor Boerne tries to be a patron, Silke Haller goes looking for clues with Mirko Schrader. The reason for all this is Stan Gold, a long-lost son of the city who has returned to his homeland from the Paraguayan jungle. Gold is not only now a star author, but also Münster's new city clerk - and a former classmate of Thiel's. Only back then his name was not Stan Gold, but simply Hotte Koslowski and he was otherwise rather mediocre. It is only thanks to the courageous intervention of Professor Boerne that he can enjoy his late triumph for more than a few hours. As soon as the new city clerk is elected, he almost dies of anaphylactic shock. And that's just the beginning of a whole series of dramatic events in which Stan Gold becomes involved.
