Die letzte Reise

The first case is already a tough one: Jäger and his team have barely put the frightened Anna Roth in a hotel when the next emergency call comes in. A dead man was found on the same tanker, who had suffocated from volatile gases in the cargo hold. And it turns out to be the house tyrant himself, who works there as a ship's captain. For Carsten Heinrich it is clear that it was the wife - but the police are skeptical and are secretly investigating on their own. The dead man was involved in criminal activities. Is that why he had to die? Suddenly Ruben van Dijk, the father of police captain Frank, turns up in Duisburg. Did he have anything to do with the crime? After all, he had a fight with the murdered man. But Ruben has another reason for his visit to Duisburg and makes a confession to his son, which has surprising consequences for Frank.

For Heinrich, the matter is clear again and he pounces on the first suspect, Serdar Mardin, the intern at the yacht club. But Arda, who knows Serdar from before, doubts that the young man, who already has a criminal record, committed the crime and continues to investigate together with Mark. Shipyard owner Ole Dammers seems suspicious, as does the victim's daughter, whose money was cut off by her father. But then new evidence emerges: was Heinrich's first suspicion correct after all?

Rashid Klein disappears without a trace at a campsite on the Rhine. Groundskeeper Heinz Grünwald alerts the police. While Jäger and Mark search for the missing man, Carsten Heinrich discovers the body of Adil Mustafa, who was convicted of murder ten years ago and only recently released from prison.
