   #1 - I see you

   S56:E219/14/2025

   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.

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.

   #4 - I don't kill anyone

   S49:E154/15/2018

   Two bodies are found in a dilapidated house on the outskirts of Nuremberg. A 58-year-old Libyan and his sister were both brutally murdered with a rebar. They came to Germany 15 years ago, were fully integrated, and have now lain for days in their own rotting blood. The brutality of the crime is shocking. Ahmad, the victim's highly admired and highly gifted foster son, has disappeared. Was he perhaps a witness to the crime? Or the perpetrator? The pressure is mounting rapidly, and the public is demanding swift explanations. Felix Voss and Paula Ringelhahn are leading the grueling investigation. But what are they dealing with? A family tragedy, a robbery-murder, or a pure act of bloodshed? Research into the right-wing scene yields no leads. Shortly thereafter, a colleague from the fraud unit dies unexpectedly while driving from a fatal drug interaction. He leaves behind his wife and two children. For Paula, this news is catastrophic.
