Sorry, but right now we don't have any sources for this episode.

Inspector Max Ballauf has to look after the house and daughter of his beautiful cousin Beatrice for a few days - the former soft porn actress goes to the hospital for a cancer test. Just now, Ballauf is being threatened by a stranger over the phone – and a woman with whom he had a one-night stand years ago is brutally murdered. The perpetrator leaves a red lily at the crime scene. Ballauf and Schenk are groping in the dark - apparently something is to be avenged, for which the stranger blames Max. But as much as the two examine old cases and look for a needle in a haystack, they find no plausible trace into the past. The only thing that is clear is that it is a revenge campaign against Max. When the stranger kidnaps another of Max's ex-girlfriends, a race against time begins.
He chases the detective halfway across town with a ransom of €300,000 – only to get him to publicly burn the money. Max can't prevent the death of this ex-girlfriend either. The only clues left by the unsub beside the flowers are a cryptic crossword and the poison used to kill the victims -- it comes from the lab where it's being studied, of all things. But when, despite all security measures, little Anna is kidnapped, Ballauf seems to be facing the biggest defeat of his life...

Stefan Ortlieb, a militant opponent of the trade fair, who was badly betrayed and financially cheated by Heeb in connection with the land sales for the trade fair, falls into Bienzle's sights. It turns out that he was the sprayer on the construction site that night. The murder weapon, which is quickly found, belongs to Milan Popow, one of the men from the security company SSF on duty that night. He denies having anything to do with Heeb's death, but he knew him well and had recently had a serious falling out with him.
Even his superior, Paul Rapp, who thinks highly of him, cannot allay the suspicion against him . Bienzle tries to find out more about Milan's brother Tom and discovers that there must be a connection between the murder and the thefts. Although this puts the events of the night in a new light, it makes the suspicion of Milan Popow rather greater. His wife, Kathi, who runs a laundry, fears that loyalty to his brother has drawn him into something he can no longer control. Just as Bienzle is finally able to convict the murderer, he eludes the police and tries to destroy evidence of his guilt in the Popows' laundry.
Hannelore, who is about to pick up a blouse, involuntarily witnesses the unmasking of the perpetrator and is kidnapped by him to ensure his escape. From then on, Bienzle was in a state of excitement.

Sorry, but right now we don't have any sources for this episode.

An empty sailing boat is found on the open sea – Silke Rohwedder's jacket, shoes and handbag on board. No sign of her. Everything looks like suicide. Borowski finds that strange. The impression gets stronger when he examines Silke Rohwedder's apartment. The apartment is sparkling clean, it smells of cleaning supplies. There are a few photos missing from the walls that have obviously been torn down. Did Silke really clean her apartment again before she took the boat out to kill herself? For what reason? And who was in the missing pictures? The neighbors tell Borowski that Silke recently had a boyfriend. But you can't really describe him because you only saw him in passing.
Checking a prescription in Silke's purse reveals another piece of news: Silke was pregnant. Silke's mother confirms that Silke was looking forward to the child. So why the suicide? Mounting evidence leads Borowski to believe it wasn't a suicide. Silke's 19-year-old sister Maxie is behaving very strangely. After learning about her sister's death from Borowski, she goes to a bar and starts a fight, in which she is beaten and hospitalized. What does she know about her sister's death that she doesn't want to tell the police? Does she maybe even have something to do with her sister's death and the beating was something like self-punishment? But Maxie is silent. Even psychologist Frieda Jung can't get any further with her.
Even before Borowski can find out anything useful from Maxie, the young woman escapes from the hospital. Borowski's quest focuses on the phantom of Silke's friend. Silke's mother reports that the man's name is Sandor Kovac and that he supposedly works for the secret service, at least that's what he told Silke. The trail leads to a dead watchmaker of the same name who died of a heart attack in his car some time ago. Obviously, Silke's friend uses the papers stolen from the dead man and uses his identity. But why? Borowski interviews the police officers who were the first to find the dead Kovac. One of them was Claes Möller, who looks amazingly similar to Kovac. His colleagues had already noticed this at the time.
There are increasing suspicions that Möller stole Kovac's papers at the time in order to use the dead man's identity. It turns out that Möller is actually Silke's wanted friend. Did he assume the false identity of being married? Did he murder Silke after she told him about the pregnancy or found out about it? Another family drama unfolds for the police in the Möller house.

Sorry, but right now we don't have any sources for this episode.

In his new case, Bienzle must deal with a horrifying, if common, crime: the murder of a little girl. It looks as if the perpetrator did not strike for the first time. There are parallels to a case two years ago. The Commissioner Romberg who was responsible at the time was also quite sure that he knew the perpetrator, but he could not prove it to him.

Of course, Bienzle doesn't want to put on someone else's blinders and prefers to research openly in all directions.

S2007E08 - Casstroff - 13 - Liebeshunger Air Date: 11 March 2007 19:15 -

Sorry, but right now we don't have any sources for this episode.

The latest case of the Hamburg Criminal Police Office suddenly hits Jan Casstorff personally: 45-year-old Karin Freiberg is found murdered in her "work apartment"; she had offered so-called "housewife sex" - prostitution without any connection to the milieu. To the surprise of his colleagues, Casstorff knew the woman because he had had a short but intense love affair with her many years ago. After that he never saw her again. Struck by the sight of the badly battered corpse, Casstorff first examines the family background of the dead. He meets her husband Joachim Freiberg, who is in a wheelchair, and their twelve-year-old son Felix.
With her employment as a prostitute, Karin - with the knowledge of her husband - financed the family's life after the former car salesman was no longer able to work after an accident. Holicek is investigating at the same time in the vicinity of the work apartment: with the exception of the caretaker Kowalski, the tenants are shocked, but make no secret of their open rejection of this trade in their house. The result of the pathology shows that Karin Freiberg was not strangled, as initially suspected, but suffocated painfully - under the blanket that lay on her body. The investigations quickly bring up further concrete information: Karin shared the apartment with a colleague Christiane, for whom she stood in on the day in question.
Was Christiane supposed to die? She stubbornly refuses to say anything about the case, even when she is beaten up by two brutal extortionists. Casstorff and Holicek can establish this quickly, but have no proof. Out of necessity, Casstorff makes a deal with them and uses their contacts in the scene. It is their information about clients who like brutal bondage variants that lead to Philipp Kochbeck being caught in the net. Kochbeck, suffering from his tendencies, admits to having tied up Karin Freiberg for his games against her will, but denies the murder. Further trace comparisons lead back to the environment of individual residents who had far more contact with the two prostitutes than initially admitted.
In this way, Casstorff gets ever deeper into the world of relationships that surrounded Karin Freiberg, and supported by an understanding Wanda Wilhelmi, he succeeds in clarifying the tragic context of the case.

Psychologist Frieda Jung looks after the victim's traumatized colleague, Simone Ehrt, who witnessed the murder first-hand. She puts Borowski on a first lead: Spreading fear is often an important goal for psychopathic snipers, and Borowski also feels fear when he suddenly encounters the sniper at night and finds himself helplessly at his mercy.
After that, it is clear to Borowski: The murderer is pursuing a specific goal with his crime and it does not seem to be a coincidence that Simone Ehrt is not only afraid, but apparently also feels threatened. But while Borowski follows this lead, an ongoing murder trial at the district court chaired by Judge Voigt increasingly requires his attention: Borowski has to testify against the child murderer Torben Meier, whom he convicted himself - according to the prosecutor a "self-starter". But to Borowski's horror, the trial takes a surprising turn when he is confronted with the accusation that he extorted the child killer's confession.
Criminal defense attorney Thies Nissen cleverly uses the allegations, even forcing Frieda Jung to take the stand to shake Borowski's credibility, and soon everything looks like Torben Meier will be acquitted. Borowski must prevent this at all costs, he owes it to the mother of the dead child. But it shows how far law and justice are often far apart when Judge Voigt repeatedly follows the requests of defense attorney Thies Nissen while still strictly adhering to the law. So Borowski can only prevent the release of the child killer if he finds new evidence.
Feverishly he sets to work until he encounters an atmosphere of fear again and discovers uncanny parallels to Simone Ehrt - is there a connection between the sniper and Torben Meier's trial? Borowski does everything in his power to answer this question and is once again in danger. Finally, even Frieda Jung's life is threatened before Borowski can convict the sniper and prevent a child murderer from getting away scot-free. 


S2007E24 - Batic - 46 - A gmahde Wiesn Air Date: 23 September 2007 18:15 -

Sorry, but right now we don't have any sources for this episode.

In Bavarian, "A gmahde Wiesn" means both "a mowed meadow" and colloquially "a project that cannot go wrong" - "a surefire thing". And "the Wiesn" is of course also a synonym for the Munich Oktoberfest, the largest folk festival in the world. There, as every year, showmen and Munich innkeepers gear up to compete for the coveted places. The violent death of the influential city councilor Hubert Serner (Bruno Graf) is therefore a topic in the city: Serner's maid Diana Aljescu (Anita Matija) found the lawyer in his garden pond. Serner, a member of the Economic Committee, had a say in the awarding of Wiesn licenses. He was a Bavarian-Baroque personality throughout his life.
His divorced wife Elizabeth (Sabine Bach) gives the Munich detectives Ivo Batic (Miroslav Nemec) and Franz Leitmayr (Udo Wachtveitl) the first clues. After the diligent research of their colleague Carlo Menzinger (Michael Fitz), the homicide detectives fight their way through an ever-growing list of Serner's beloved women. The statements of the interviewed women Ilsa Mischnik (Conny Glogger) and Hilde Gerbera (Claudia Wipplinger) are only partially helpful.
But how does the successor to the murder victim August Eckl (Philipp Sonntag) deal with the tangible economic interests of established Munich host families and showmen? On the one hand he has to deal with the resolute landlady Johanna Buck (Monika Baumgartner), who wants to add a garden to her already very lucrative Oktoberfest tent and is not the only reason why she quarrels with husband Niklas (Georg Maier) and daughter Evelin (Franziska Schlattner). . On the other hand, the innkeeper Xaver Neureuther (Fred Stillkrauth) and his son Timo (Joram Voelklein) fight for their place at the Wiesn.
The siblings Renee and Fridolin Zoll (Bettina Redlich & Michael Tregor) can be trusted with unthinking outbreaks of violence: the two showmen cherish and maintain the traditional carousel of their ancestors and face financial ruin with the beautiful but old ride if they do not get a permit for the Oktoberfest to get. During their investigations into this murder case, the Munich inspectors experience first-hand how the annual intrigues arise on the Theresienwiese around the construction of the Oktoberfest - until the mayor of the city finally calls out the redeeming words at the start of the Wiesn in the brimming beer tent: "O'zapft is !"
