Episode List

S1 • E1

Gefallener Engel

Nadja Engel surprisingly survives a fall, apparently from her high skyscraper balcony, and is hospitalized with amnesia. She was near suicidal since the loss of a young child, but autopsy shows marks from a struggle. Her ship cargo insurance agency paid out suspiciously high percentages, notably in cases handled by executive Thies Koning, who may need to cover up fraud, indeed forged an alibi alibi. Nadja's husband Stefan Engel visited a brothel after discovering her adultery, suddenly makes an improbably confession about a second crime, which isn't verified at all, on the contrary.

Tödliche Ernte

Appel farmer Marko Hansen in the idyllic village Altes Land marshes is found poisoned in the local cooperation's nitrogen-filled storage antechamber, locked-in with one of the magnetic keys handed to the many members, including small apple-yard owners like detective Oskar Schütz, a mate in the Big Apple pub's Skat cards game club. The hothead bachelor annoyed many locals. The murder must have been a local, with access to the local voluntary fire brigade as he used a mask missing from their truck. Unidentifed, someone escapes after breaking into Marko's home and uses his boat. Marko's brother Kai fell out with him rowing over an inherited orchard. His recent testament allotted nearly everything to the son of "Big Apple" publican Thorsten Braker and his wife Serena, who admit she was among Marko's countless conquests, he probably was the biological father. Then the cops find a link to recently dumped drug contraband, which means acute danger for them too.

Junggesellenabschied

The battered corpse of Patrick "Paddel" Borowski MD is found on a market square in Hamburg. His three buddies, Jörg Kittel, Andy Jansen and Hans Peter "HP" Himmelreich, also dressed in flamingo costumes for his bachelor party in the Kiez quarter, allegedly can't remember losing him, let alone the murder. Borowskis cellphone pictures aren't helpful, but blood on his costume indicates a fight. Kittel merely admits a 'silly conflict' with the former medical practice partner. Reconstrcting the night, SOKO cops find the quartet won lots of cash in a casino, which is gone. A homeless beggar found outside actually stalked them on the fatal night, and lost everything after the death of his wife of Paddel's operation table.

S1 • E4

Hansa Harmonia

At the bank of Lake Maansted is found the corpse of ambitious student Kristin Lange, waitress in the adjoining rowing club and lover of law student Mark, son of the club president, suspiciously uncooperative lawyer Peer Jakobshagen. Mark was recently engaged 'dynastically' with shipping company princess Frida Reitmayer, who might have got wind of his affair. Commoner Kristin was admitted to a US her family could never afford. The team works out who knew what when and did what about it and finds proof.

S1 • E5

Mitten ins Herz

At the club feast for his installation as new champion-shot 'club king' of Jork, Harald Proske is fatally shot -in Oskar's presence- with a weapon of his own class's caliber from behind a curtain veiling the killer and his retreat. Harald owned a supermarket chain and planned a Jork subsidiary, probably fatal for local shopkeepers like baker Dietmar Röper, who hoped his daughter Yvonne would succeed him with boyfriend Timo Fenne who discovered she had an affair with Harald, ignoring he still had many flirts. SOKO learns about a ten years old family feud between Röpers and Proskes. Already year-long separated fresh widow Carola Proske would have had no inheritance if he had time to divorce her. Jan observes her making suspicious payments as regularly before to a man fitting a hit-man's photograph, yet gets a surprising explanation. Timo's hose is searched, yielding ammunition and the possible murder weapon.

S1 • E6

Tod in der Schleuse

Benjamin Wendt (17) drifts drowned in the port of Glückstadt, abandoned by two mates after a night out and an argument. They sailed aboard a yacht for wayward youths like them. Marten Behrmann remains missing, Tine Harms returns in the morning. Benjamin's step-father Henning Sandberg, a Swedish consulate official, got off by diplomatic immunity two years earlier when his official car fatally hit Steffen Regner, then 16, without stopping. Oskar wrecked his promotion chances by pressing the case in vain. Steffen's father was in Glückstadt the fatal night. The detectives must tie it all together.
