Episode 1
Kein Geld der Welt
47 mins
At a demolition site, homeless Jan Steinert observes a man hiding a green sports bag while fleeing the police. After the man disappears, Steinert finds the loot from a bank robbery: 53,000 euros. Unnoticed, Steinert takes the money and leaves the bag behind. The next morning, the body of a homeless man, known in the scene as "Dogge" because of his brutality, is discovered not far from the site. He had been severely abused and strangled. He is missing the little finger on one hand. Finn and Lars discover that the murdered man had attempted to rape the young homeless woman Kerstin two days earlier, which Steinert was able to prevent through his courageous intervention. Did Kerstin kill "Dogge" out of revenge? During interrogation, Kerstin confesses that she did cut off "Dogge's" finger because she wanted her ring back, which he had stolen. But she insists that "Dogge" was already dead. When the police find the sports bag from the bank robbery at the crime scene, the detectives start investigating in a different direction: Could "Dogge" have robbed the bank? Did Steinert kill "Dogge" and then take the loot from him? Steinert lives on the streets because, as a compulsive gambler, he gambled away his family's money. Perhaps he wants to use the loot to try to win back his wife and daughter, whom he misses terribly? But then Steinert is kidnapped.

Romeo und Julia

Finn and Lars are chasing a sports car whose driver appears to be underage. Suddenly, the boy loses control and crashes. When the detectives rush to his aid, he pulls out a gun and threatens them both. A scuffle ensues, a shot is fired, and the boy collapses. Emergency surgery saves his life, but Finn blames himself. Public Prosecutor Zobel nevertheless feels compelled to suspend him from duty; if they had acted according to regulations, the boy would never have been able to draw a gun. But why did the boy have a gun in the first place? Finn begins to investigate without a license plate. The seriously injured boy is Arthur Grün, the 14-year-old son of a Lübeck brothel owner, who is accused of forced prostitution. While Finn is in danger of losing his job because of his "private" investigation, Lars tries to find out more about Hauke Grün, Arthur's powerful father. But he is determined to prevent further investigations and is preparing to strike back.

Drywall installer Harry Siebert is found murdered on a construction site.

Did Harry and Weigand get into an argument that led to Harry's death? But two things make the investigators suspicious: They discover a banned drug on Harry, a drug commonly sold in junkie circles. Did the formerly drug-addicted Harry, in his desperation, use his old contacts in the scene to sell drugs? The detectives also discover that Harry left the construction site once again-to Klara's parents' affluent neighborhood. Did Harry ask his hated in-laws for money, who had cut off contact with their daughter since their marriage? And what is Harry's brother-in-law Ferdinand hiding from his sister Klara?
