Dr. Brenner is a retired pedagogue and works as a probation officer. When he is found murdered, the investigation begins. When a certain Kaminka turns himself in as the murderer, the case initially seems to be solved. But Kaminka is a madman.
9/3 Escape attempt
The corpse of inmate Rico Brunner is found in a laundry basket in the laundry of a correctional facility. Everything points to an escape attempt, but who foiled the escape of Rico, who was serving a life sentence for robbery with murder?
9/5 The debt trap
Rolf is stabbed to death in an apartment. It seems logical to assume that Rolf had an affair because his wife knew nothing about an apartment. The investigation progresses slowly, but the testimony of their daughter is doubtful.

Rowers ram the body of a drowned person during training. The victim was a recent release prisoner who had served 13 years for the rape and murder of a little girl.
