- Goldmädchen
E1GoldmädchenThe Olympian Dagmar Ehwald is found dead in the water on the Grünau rowing course. The 35-year-old athlete recently qualified for the Olympics in the rowing pair with her partner Juliane Spieker. But as soon as it came, it went: Dagmar Ewald subsequently tested positive for doping. Now she has apparently been beaten to death. Juliane Spieker protests her innocence, although her former teammate's doping disaster will most likely cost her her Olympic qualification, for which she trained hard. She has long since returned to training with a new partner. Dagmar's husband, Steffen Ehwald, a busy staff officer in the German army, directs suspicion towards Dagmar's trainer, Martin Lubitsch, who is also responsible for looking after the athletes. But was it really about doping or was it murder out of jealousy? Steffen Ehwald was rarely present as a husband, so Dagmar sought out Lubitsch's company. Or had he pretended to love her in order to plant doping substances on his "golden girl"? And what role does Dr. Sylvia Kronenberg, who was responsible for examining Dagmar's doping sample, play? Little by little, the investigations reveal a deadly mixture of old guilt, eternal gratitude and explosive anger. - Tanz in den Tod
E2Tanz in den TodSelda Bektas, front woman of the successful Berlin breakdance crew "Berlin Beasts", is fished dead out of the Spree. Fahri is particularly upset by the girl's death, because he knew Selda. For years he has been training young people in his free time at the Berlin youth club Prisma, which is run by Fahri's best friend Tom Naber. Selda Bektas' death quickly turns out to be a homicide, and Fahri is biased. Against Wolf's advice, Jasmin decides to keep Fahri on the team. Nobody knows the kids better than he does. Especially since there is increasing evidence that there were fierce arguments within the "Berlin Beasts" before Selda's death. The breakdance crew, consisting of the four friends Mahmud, Christopher, Jenny and Selda, was in danger of falling apart. Was that why Selda had to die? The WaPo investigates that Selda threw in the towel shortly before her performance at an international dance talent show. She would rather start an apprenticeship than wait for her big break. Everything suggests that the impulsive Mahmud pushed Selda into the water during an argument. For him, it's about much more than a bit of success and money. It's about his life. The performance would have given him the legitimacy to stay in Germany legally. Or is it perhaps about much more, namely the future of a club in a perfect waterfront location? In the end, the WaPo reveals the secret of the girl's tragic death, and the solution to the case is bitter, and not just for Fahri. - Ein fast perfekter Mann
E4Ein fast perfekter MannThe police are called after a dead man is found in Stößensee. It is evidently a case of murder. The first clue leads the police team to young Clara Richter, who has a small child and is just about able to make ends meet with her canoe rental business. A DNA test identifies the dead man as her boyfriend Stefan Sibelius. But officially this person does not exist. What kind of life did this man have and who killed him? Thanks to Dr. Conrad's efforts, the police finally come across a second woman, Judith Baumann, who puts the dead man in a completely different light. Who was the dead man really? To get to the bottom of his secret, the police must unravel a thicket of lies, half-truths, false friendships and lost dreams. The closer Jasmin and her team get to the truth, the more the motive for the crime remains in the dark. But they finally manage to decipher the dead man's final secret: the man was too perfect to be true. - Das Krokodil im Badesee
E5Das Krokodil im BadeseeAn extremely uninvited guest in the middle of the bathing season is the prelude to a crime that leads the investigators of the WaPo Berlin into the scene of owners and smugglers of exotic animals. The water crime police are simultaneously confronted with a very elegantly dressed male corpse with a snake bite in a wrecked cargo boat and an escaped crocodile. Presumably from the same boat. Is a lockdown now also looming for Berlin's outdoor pools? With the help of the manager of the reptile house Claudia Kessler and her assistant Anna, the WaPo investigates the machinations surrounding the illegal, exotic animal market, which not least attracts militant animal rights activists. A conversation with the landlady of the victim's regular bar, Gisela, draws the investigators' attention to the best friend. Even though Karsten Steiberger emphatically emphasizes that their primary concern is important breeding, it slowly becomes clear that illegal animal smuggling is a multi-million dollar business. The investigators quickly become entangled in a network of legal and illegal species protection, the effects of which Marlene experiences on her own body. A solo criminal investigation leads to an unintentional acquaintance with free-roaming poisonous snakes and tarantulas. - Laubenpieper
E8LaubenpieperFinally vacation. Together with Makoye, Wolf repairs the roof of his beloved summerhouse with a view of the Havel. But then the building contractor Oswald Renger is found dead in the water right in front of his allotment colony. Murdered, as Jasmin and her team quickly discover. Was he in the wrong place at the wrong time and was the victim of a junkie attack? At least he didn't seem to have had any enemies. Or did he? Wolf is horrified when it turns out that Oswald Renger had recently not only become the new owner of his allotment colony's land, but was planning to demolish parts of the big city paradise. Did the two friendly chairmen of the allotment colony, Lisa Franke and Ulrike Messmer, know about this? Would allotment gardeners go over dead bodies to save their weekend idyll? Or is everything there much less idyllic than it seems? After all, Ulrike Messmer's boyfriend disappeared in a strange way some time ago, and everyone in the colony has been whispering behind closed doors for a long time about the strange hill behind the clubhouse. Wolf is right in his objection that there is such a hill in every allotment colony; people's imaginations just tend to run wild. But why did Oswald Renger want to start building there of all places?
