Borowski's last case led to the transfer of his colleague Sarah Brandt. In order to escape the anger in the commissariat, Borowski plunges into a case that leads him into the vast landscape of the North Frisian Wadden Sea. On Suunholt, a small, sleepy North Sea island near Denmark, a man was found dead who is no stranger in Kiel. Years ago Oliver Teuber was the key figure in a corruption scandal. The dead man had apparently found a new life and a new love far from Kiel. On Suunholt, the commissioner faces the completely disbanded Famke Oejen, who found her lover lifeless in her shared bathroom. Borowski is captivated by the mysterious atmosphere of the strange islanders.
Episode 15: I don't kill anyone
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.
