Munich - At the End of the Hall
There is a point in every human being when they are lonely. Lisa Brenner knew that moment. When her body is found one gray morning in front of a high-rise building, having fallen from the 12th floor balcony, she leaves behind a number of men who adored and loved her. Lisa was so close and devoted to all of them that in the end nobody knew if he was really her favorite. A tricky case that also deeply shakes the trust between Leitmayr and Batic.

And the victims continue to pile up.

Two shots are fired in a family home in Munich. Batic and Leitmayr find Michaela Danzer dead and her partner Daniel Ruppert unconscious. Quirin, the dead man's six-year-old son, has disappeared along with the murder weapon. During the emergency operation, the doctor discovers a scar from an old gunshot wound on Daniel Ruppert's abdomen, leading Batic and Leitmayr to the trail of an attempted family suicide in Augsburg fifteen years ago. Back then, in an act of sheer desperation, Daniel Ruppert shot his wife and young son. He himself survived, as did his then seven-year-old daughter Ella, whom he couldn't bring himself to shoot. He dismissed her before turning the gun on himself. The fact that the perpetrator from back then is the victim of today is a major headache for Batic and Leitmayr, as is the search for Ella, who is now a young woman and whose trail is lost after numerous therapies. Who shot Ruppert and his new wife that night? And where is Quirin?

Leitmayr's investigation of a Romanian pimp gets a fast conviction. Batic was not part of the investigation because he was a childhood friend of brothel operator Harry Schneider, for whom the victim supposedly worked. But the total indifference of the defendant irritated him. Back in the office, he asks again for the file of the convicted Romanian, because in all his years of service he had never experienced such a quick confession and not a single attempt to reduce his sentence.

Miracles are happening from time to time
The investigation into a murder case leads the Munich detectives Ivo Batic and Franz Leitmayr to Dannerberg in the foothills of the Alps. The deceased had most recently worked as an auditor in a nunnery there. However, the God-fearing life only seems tranquil at first glance. Evidence quickly mounts that the monastery's caretaker is involved in the crime. But what is the motive? Were there irregularities in the books that the auditor threatened to uncover? No less irritating are two envoys from Rome who are conducting their own investigations in parallel to Batic and Leitmayr. Are the nuns trying to cover up their own misdeeds? And are there other wondrous secrets lurking behind the monastery walls?
Read MoreHackl
Young Adam Moser has a fatal accident on his motorcycle at night. But the death raises questions and ultimately leads inspectors Ivo Batic and Franz Leitmayr to Munich's Hasenbergl. Here the dead man lived with his girlfriend in a small bungalow in the middle of the anonymous high-rise buildings in the district. Old Hackl lives in the house next door, a well-known troublemaker whose anger potential is notorious not only among the Munich police: Did he also have something against Adam? Enough that he had to die? As always, the old Grantler makes things difficult for the authorities and violently evades enforcement. The mood between Franz and Ivo is at its lowest point while a large-scale search for Hackl begins. There seems to be more hidden behind the cold, high facades: a world full of frustration, narrowness and envy.

Episode 8
An unknown dead woman is found in a derelict military vehicle. Leitmayr, Batic and Hammermann discover that a vehicle is missing from a nearby army base. The dead woman was obviously employed as a "civilian on the battlefield" for a NATO maneuver that is currently taking place. Together with Military Police Officer Jennifer Miller, the detectives not only find the crime scene, but also another dead person on the premises. Given the maneuver, the police have little time to solve the murder case. They therefore decide on an unconventional investigative method: "embedded investigation".

The world's top chess players gather for a tournament in the Alps: seven men and one woman. The "Queen," Natalie Laurent, is brilliant, provocative, and possibly a cheat, which has earned her many enemies in the male-dominated world of chess. When Laurent's second falls to her death from the roof of the luxury resort, many hypotheses arise: Was a misogynist at work? Was a complicity being silenced? Or did she take her own life? During the ongoing tournament, Leitmayr, Batic, and Hammermann must uncover the tactics and deception behind the scenes to solve the mysterious death. They receive surprising and invaluable help from their forensic pathologist: Dr. Matthias Steinbrecher. He turns out to be a chess ace and proves to the detectives that even pawns can bring down a king.
