Scene of the Crime: Heaven is a place on Earth
Overview
What the French call a "petite mort" actually ends fatally in a forest near Nuremberg. Christian Ranstedt, married and father of two children, a professor at the University of Erlangen, and a respected citizen of the city of Nuremberg, was killed by two shots to the head at close range while making love in his car. Ranstedt's wife, Julia, believed her husband was at the university. For her and their two children, a world that seemed indestructible suddenly collapsed. Why was Christian Ranstedt murdered? Why at such a piquant moment? And how did whoever was in the car with him survive?

Episode 13: Borowski and the Children of Gaarden
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.
