While working in the greenhouse, Patrick Teichmann discovers the body of his mother-in-law Heike Teichmann. The gardener's helper Juri flees with the murder weapon in his hand and is the first to be targeted by investigators Gorniak and Winkler.

There can also be no question of marital harmony between Nadine and her husband Patrick Teichmann - they are about to separate.
Events take a new turn when an important witness is eliminated and the autopsy reveals that Heike Teichmann suffered from broken heart syndrome. The detectives use psychological sensitivity to uncover the truth - which leads far into Heike Teichmann's past. Now her daughter Nadine, who was just a suspect, also has to fear for her life.

In Dortmund's Westpark, Jan Pawlak and Rosa Herzog stand in front of a large pool of blood, but there is no body. However, Andreas Richter, the head of a Dortmund real estate company, is missing.

In his personal life, he is currently divorcing his wife Natalia. She doesn't leave her husband in good stead either.
While Inspector Peter Faber has not yet come to terms with the death of his colleague Martina Bönisch, is on sick leave and is more or less living in his old Manta, Jan and Rosa come across Faber's father Josef. He and Faber apparently haven't had any contact for decades. What happened between father and son and what does Josef Faber have to do with the case?

Lena Odenthal has to balance work and family: her aunt Niki, a retired prosecutor, sharp-tongued and assertive, arrives in Ludwigshafen for a visit. At the same time, Lena and Johanna Stern are dealing with the death of a nursing home resident who was killed by an insulin overdose. Mr. Herrweg was over 90, and at most there are obligations to inherit - who had a motive to kill him?
The inspectors examine the residents of the home as well as the victim's past. While Johanna would like it if the friendly family doctor at the retirement home wasn't involved in the case, Lena strangely always has the impression that Niki is also secretly involved in the investigation.

Hölzer - 04 - Die Kälte der Erde
Saturday. Gameday.

It quickly turns out that he spent the “third half” at a field match. But whether he also suffered the fatal injuries there remains unclear for the time being.

Therefore, they confront the Saarbrücken team with silence and clarify their struggles among themselves. Adam Schürk also hides certain truths. However, when he is attacked at his home because someone is looking for the millions from his father's bank robbery, he has to let Leo Hölzer know.

Faber - 24 - Love Is Pain
When Peter Faber joins Jan Pawlak and Rosa Herzog early in the morning, the forensics team has almost finished their work. Tram driver Hamza Arkadas was stabbed during his night shift.

Rosa Herzog, who took over as acting head of the homicide squad in Faber's absence, gets support from police officer Beate Gräske.

With the help of surveillance cameras, she tracks down the perpetrator...
