Saalfeld - 1 - Todesstrafe

Having just arrived in Leipzig by train, Chief Inspector Andreas Keppler is called directly to a crime scene. His new colleague Eva Saalfeld is already waiting for him here, with whom he has more in common than their future work together – they were once married to each other. The marriage ended in divorce, and now both are nervous about meeting again. But they don't have time for private matters, because they have to solve a murder together. Hans Freytag, operator of the event center 'Fabrik', has been stabbed. He was restoring a boat with some young people with the word 'death penalty' spray-painted on the bow. The inspectors determine that Freytag's 'factory' had already been daubed with the word 'child molester' several times by unknown persons.
The background could be a criminal complaint by his wife Sibylle, who lives separately from him, who claims that Freytag abused their little daughter. Towards Friday there was a pogrom mood in the district. A witness saw a youth running out of the 'factory' at the time of the crime. Inspectors Saalfeld and Keppler come across Max Lornsen, who was the last person to telephone Freytag. However, the young man was friends with the victim - what motive for a murder should he have? Things are very different with the innkeeper Kurt Steinbrecher: He is the chairman of an association that publicly calls for the death penalty for child molesters. Steinbrecher has no alibi, and his fingerprints are on a spray can found at the crime scene.
When the inspectors then find out that Sibylle Freytag and her lawyer Klaus Arend have been a couple for a long time, the question arises as to the actual purpose of the abuse report... Eva Saalfeld and Andreas Keppler investigate in a district where hysteria and vigilantism reign . In their first case, they have to unravel a web of slogans from the regulars' table, broken marriages and failed dreams.

The Gilded Age

The American Gilded Age was a period of immense economic change, of huge fortunes made and lost, and the rise of disparity between old money and new.

Against this backdrop of change, the story begins in 1882 — introducing young Marian Brook, the orphaned daughter of a Union general, who moves into the New York City home of her thoroughly old money aunts Agnes van Rhijn and Ada Brook. Accompanied by Peggy Scott, an accomplished African-American woman, Marian inadvertently becomes enmeshed in a social war between one of her aunts, a scion of the old money set, and her stupendously rich neighbors, a ruthless railroad tycoon and his ambitious wife, George and Bertha Russell.

In this exciting new world that is on the brink of the modern age, will Marian follow the established rules of society, or forge her own path?

Restaurateurs who are looking for a quick fix or social media glow-up are in for the surprise of their lives when famed culinary titan Gordon Ramsay trades his signature chef knives for a state-of-the-art surveillance vehicle and cutting-edge spyware in FOX's all-new unscripted series, Gordon Ramsay's Secret Service. In a Gordon Ramsay series first, Chef Ramsay will venture into struggling restaurants under the cover of night. With the help of a secret source on the inside, he'll gather raw, unfiltered evidence and get a 360-degree view of the major issues facing each restaurant.

By the time Ramsay reveals his identity, it will be too late for staff to cover up their culinary crimes. Gordon Ramsay's Secret Service will be his toughest assignment yet as he takes drastic measures to transform not only the restaurant but also the staff, because Gordon knows he can upgrade the menu and renovate the restaurant, but the most important change has to come from the people.
