   #1 - This is Going to Hurt

   S47:E144/3/2016

   Leitmayr's investigation of a Romanian pimp gets a fast conviction. Batic was not part of the investigation because he was a childhood friend of brothel operator Harry Schneider, for whom the victim supposedly worked. But the total indifference of the defendant irritated him. Back in the office, he asks again for the file of the convicted Romanian, because in all his years of service he had never experienced such a quick confession and not a single attempt to reduce his sentence.

   The discovery of a body raises questions: The man, missing for two years, was buried two meters deep in the earth in the floodplain near Nuremberg. Andreas Schönfeld, a 37-year-old bicycle dealer at the time of his death, was considered friendly and popular with his neighbors, yet Franconian investigators discover that he had no close friends. Chief Inspector Felix Voss - in his first case without his long-time partner Paula Ringelhahn, but strongly supported by Wanda Goldwasser and his current driver Fred - wonders: What connections led to the bicycle dealer's gruesome death? A visit to the victim's mother, Erika Schönfeld, reveals a loving mother-son relationship, and the pain is immense. In their further attempt to reconstruct Schönfeld's life, Felix and Wanda encounter the blind Lisa Blum.

   #5 - Munich - At the End of the Hall

   S45:E185/4/2014

   There 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.
