   #3 - Scarp

   S54:E103/26/2023

   Almost 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. But the once close-knit village community has long since disappeared with the move to Neu-Bützenich. As Dr. When Christian Franzen, the local doctor, is informed that his empty house has been broken into, he immediately sets off - but never returns home. His wife Betje turns to the police, who find her husband - shot dead in the old village. Even though everyone here was a patient of the doctor, he was still not particularly popular. During their investigation, detectives Max Ballauf and Freddy Schenk uncover a torn community. Time cannot simply be turned back here in the lignite mining area.

   #5 - Borowski and the Children of Gaarden

   S46:E133/29/2015

   The 60-year-old alcoholic Onno Steinhaus is found dead in a working-class district of Kiel. Steinhaus had a criminal record for pedophilia and, as Borowski and Brandt quickly find out, lived in complete isolation. Ironically, however, a group of children seemed to have gone in and out of the dead man. Apparently they exploited the dead man's desires, but - as they claim at least - never complied with his wishes. The police officer responsible for the district, Thorsten Rausch, seems to have capitulated in view of the social neglect in his area. Sarah Brandt's investigations bring to light a video that shows a boy - Timo Scholz - in a catchy situation with Onno Steinhaus. Timo denies having been abused. Borowski has to observe that Sarah Brandt is conspicuously often trying to get close to her police colleague Rausch.

She suspects a connection between the senseless act and the attack on Borowski.

Celina Lübbert is one of the girls Borowski interrogated at the vocational school.
