Mann im Kessel

Businessman Hannes Burchardt is found dead in the cabin of his yacht, the Constanza. Everything points to a carbon monoxide accident. But upon closer examination, it turns out that he was murdered with dry ice. At first, all the evidence points to his wife, Zola, as the culprit—she wanted a divorce and now stands to benefit from her husband's death. When Nele Fehrenbach's team questions Zola, Zola's lover, organic farmer Michael Jungbluth, intervenes. He is convinced that both the murder and the investigation are part of a conspiracy against him and Zola. Hannes Burchardt, he claims, was deeply entangled in the web of local political corruption and had been conducting shady deals with local political heavyweight Götz Eberlein. When the WaPo refuses to back down, a scandal erupts. Jungbluth and Zola manage to hijack a police boat to force Eberlein and his diligent office manager, Garber, to confess. The WaPo must stop the enraged Jungbluth.
