The investigation team also includes Inspector Rettenbach from Oberhausen and Inspector Mitschowski from Aachen.

Read MoreLove me!
Feline Wagner disappeared a year ago and a friend reported her missing. Now her body is found by chance in a burial forest during preparations for an urn burial. An argument at the site distracts Faber: It's hard to miss the fact that Commissioner Bönisch and the KTU member Sebastian Haller are already having their private dispute on duty again. Observing that Martina Bönisch's emotional life is putting a strain on herself and her work doesn't leave Faber unmoved.
Rosa Herzog and Jan Pawlak contact the Ihle funeral home: The gravesite was reserved here, a few days after Feline Wagner disappeared. It was paid for in cash by a man who gave a false name. Another murder victim is rescued, just a few steps away from the first. There was a year between the two murders - and soon twelve months have passed again...
Read MoreYou stayed here
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. His business model has made him a number of opponents in Dortmund in recent years: he buys up properties in the Kreuzviertel and transforms shared apartments into sought-after luxury properties. 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?
Read MoreLove 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. There are no witnesses, but the images from the surveillance camera show how Arkadas was first provoked and then attacked by a young passenger. The perpetrator showed his face offensively into the camera before fleeing, but the recordings are of little help at first. He doesn't seem to be known to the police, and public prosecutor Matuschek doesn't want to go public with the pictures yet.
Rosa Herzog, who took over as acting head of the homicide squad in Faber's absence, gets support from police officer Beate Gräske. She is a “super recognizer” with the special ability to recognize faces – much better than her colleagues and the technology can do. With the help of surveillance cameras, she tracks down the perpetrator...
Read MoreEpisode 8
Chief Inspector Faber is back on duty, but his job as head of the homicide squad is gone for now. And prosecutor Matuschek wouldn't mind if nothing changed. Faber's colleague Rosa Herzog is now taking over the management on an acting basis. Chief Inspector Jan Pawlak, on the other hand, apparently has little interest in his job. Instead, he prefers to have fun in Alkim Celik's betting shop "Mutluluk" (Turkish for "luck").
When Celik's brother-in-law Lukas Becker is found dead, the "Mutluluk" suddenly becomes the focus of the investigation. An old acquaintance of Faber's is now back on the scene: Tarim Abakay . This time Faber doesn't want to let him get away with it. But his sleuthing doesn't remain without consequences for long: Faber is intercepted by Ira Klasnic and her two armed companions in the parking lot in front of his father's nursing home. Did Abakay send them?
Read MoreMade in China
A young woman is arrested in an Asian shop. She is completely beside herself. Her clothes, hands and face are covered in blood. She is holding a knife in one hand. Did she commit murder? And what about the "Chinese dog" that is said to have seen everything?
The Dortmund homicide squad team is initially in the dark. But then the fine gold chain that the young woman is wearing around her neck provides a clue to her identity. A jeweler recognizes the piece of jewelry: he had made the valuable chain several years ago for the Dortmund steel dynasty Haiden family. The suspect is the 25-year-old daughter of the factory owner family. She claims to have killed someone, but can't remember anything. All in all, a murky case with traces from the Ruhr area to China.
Read MoreSiding
Ira Klasnić wants Rosa Herzog and Peter Faber to investigate a fatal hit-and-run. But it quickly becomes clear that there may be more to the story. The victim, Angela Herrig, is the ex-girlfriend of suspected clan member Lorik Duka. Did he have a score to settle with her? According to Dr. Greta Leitner's autopsy report, the driver must have hit her head-on at high speed. Suddenly, an old acquaintance appears on the scene: Ira Klasnić has called in Inspector Daniel Kossik from the State Criminal Police Office. Faber used to be his boss. The two clashed repeatedly and didn't part on good terms...
