Ostfriesennacht

A murderer is on the loose in East Frisia. One who kills women in vacation homes. They all have one thing in common: they all had a tattoo of a so-called power animal, which has been removed and is nowhere to be found at the crime scenes. Is the murderer keeping the artwork as a trophy or does he have other plans for it?
While Rupert uses his private contacts to lure the main suspect out of the reserve beyond official investigation methods, Ann Kathrin Klaasen tries to save her husband Frank Weller from disaster.
He has a bad feeling because his daughter has a new boyfriend, an old acquaintance whom he deeply dislikes. When his daughter also gets such a tattoo, Weller digs deeper. And he finds what he is looking for! The new lover could well be the psychopathic serial killer he is looking for. Even though Jule declares her father to be paranoid and Ann is also skeptical, he is firmly convinced that he has to rescue his daughter from the clutches of a serial killer. He risks everything to do so and his relationship with his daughter is put to the test. To make matters worse, the BKA also gets involved, because the series of murders didn’t just start in East Frisia…

2 Friends

A few years have passed again when old friends Patrick and Malte meet up again.

Patrick turns up unexpectedly at Malte’s mobile home, which is parked on a cliff by the Baltic Sea in the middle of a deserted restricted area.
That evening, a concert by the band in which Vincent, Patrick’s son whose biological father is Malte, is due to take place nearby.

Patrick reminds his friend of the old vow that Malte will stay away from Vincent. The son should never find out that Patrick is not his real father.

But then Patrick makes a discovery that makes him abandon his plan to keep Malte away from Vincent.

Over the course of a day, a night and a morning, the two friends, who are both at late turning points in their lives, explore what expectations they still have, what they are prepared to risk and, above all, what is left of their friendship.

A fisherman discovers a dead body in the mudflats. At the same time, blackmailers deposit samples of biological warfare agents in a newspaper. This calls Inspector Ann Kathrin Klaasen onto the scene.

The drinking water throughout East Frisia is to be poisoned. The samples found are genuine, and what nobody realises is that the two cases are directly connected. During the investigation, her former boss, Ubbo Heide, becomes Ann Kathrin’s target. What does he know?

The investigation unearths a supposed triviality. Is the murderer of Ann Kathrin’s father, Wolfgang Steinhausen, still on the loose.

Ann Kathrin Klaasen and Frank Weller have made it: they get married in a small civil ceremony at the Norder Teemuseum. In the evening, there is an exuberant atmosphere at the traditional Easter bonfire on the beach. But the very next morning, CID chief Ubbo Heide has to call the couple back from their honeymoon: The charred remains of human bones protrude from the still-smoking ashes of the Easter bonfire.

When another body turns up in a children’s playground on Norderney, Klaasen and her colleagues find themselves in the middle of the hunt for the next serial offender. For Ann Kathrin Klaasen, one thing is clear: this murderer doesn’t just kill. He stages his murders and wants the world to take part. But what is the message? And who will be the next victim

No Dogs Allowed

Since 15-year-old Gabo has known about his paedophilic tendencies, he has tried to control and hide his needs.

He confides neither to his friends nor to his mother or sister – the fear of the reactions is too great.

He finds support and a listening ear in online chat forums, where he also meets the much older Dave. However, Dave takes advantage of Gabo’s insecurity and a toxic power dynamic develops. When Dave is suddenly arrested by the police on suspicion of abusing minors, Gabo has to make a decision.
