Scene of the Crime — Season 51

State of emergency in North Rhine-Westphalia! Four inspectors from different departments have already been killed. There has never been a comparable series of murders in the history of the state. But a hot lead is missing, the investigators are groping in the dark - and the pressure is increasing ... Finally stopping those behind the insidious murders - this is the common goal that investigators from different cities are to swear to: All of them have been in contact with the previous victims. Peter Faber and Martina Bönisch from the Dortmund homicide squad and their colleague Nadeshda Krusenstern from Münster are there. The investigation team also includes Inspector Rettenbach from Oberhausen and Inspector Mitschowski from Aachen. Inspector Ziesing is joining them from the Paderborn criminal investigation department, and Inspector Möller is coming from Düsseldorf.

Detectives Max Ballauf and Freddy Schenk must solve the murder of the head physician of a psychiatric clinic. Ballauf himself is currently undergoing treatment: a trauma he thought he had overcome resurfaces with full force. After shooting his colleague Melanie Sommer during an operation, he is plagued by nightmares and guilt. Sometimes he believes he sees the dead woman before him. He can't talk about it, not even with his partner Freddy Schenk. The atmosphere within the team is correspondingly tense. During their investigation at the hospital, a patient catches Ballauf's attention. Julia Frey claims she is being held against her will in the clinic's closed ward. Deputy head physician Dr. Koch, however, points to Julia's emotional instability. But Max suspects that Julia's cry for help might be justified. [Köln]
