Episode 1
48 mins
A climbing trip up the Grünstein mountain proved fatal for Elisabeth. While Johanna treats her mother's injured ankle at home, the Beissl family receives news that the tour's mountain guide, the internationally acclaimed climbing star Leon Stöhr, has been found dead. He was bludgeoned to death, as Dr. Hartmann determines beyond doubt at the scene of the crime at the foot of the mountain. Sophia and Jerry's investigation quickly focuses on mountain filmmaker Maren Rieder. Contrary to her usual practice, she wasn't supposed to accompany the two climbing brothers, Leon and Bastian, on their prestigious US trip to Yosemite National Park and was very disappointed about it. Furthermore, Sophia finds a headband outside the Stöhrs' office. The dead man's brother, Bastian Stöhr, also seems suspicious. He obviously has something to hide. And when the brothers' climbing partner, Rupert Heckmair, reports a heated argument between them, Sophia decides to start observing the Stöhrs' house on her own. When she follows Bastian Stöhr to a remote mountain cabin, she experiences a huge surprise. She now desperately needs Jerry and Beissl's help. But Beissl is currently very busy trying to convince Sophia's son Luis to take a role as a police officer in a play. With resounding success.

Johanna can't believe her eyes: Could it be that she just witnessed a murder from outside the meditation pavilion of the "Center of Life"? Jerry dismisses her observation as a "pregnancy ghost." But the next day, Johanna finds traces of blood on a wheelbarrow in front of the center. When life coach and center founder Mick Sontheimer doesn't show up for work, Beissl, Sophia, and Jerry investigate. Max eventually finds Mick's buried body in the woods. Stabbed, as Dr. Hartmann determines without a doubt-and later demonstrates some flawless yoga poses to the astonished investigative team. At the meditation center, the peaceful facade is crumbling. Mick, who hosted a radio show in Berchtesgaden, had stolen the wife of radio technician Kai Arnold. The presenter, Marie Doldinger, provides Arnold, who left a threatening message on Mick's answering machine, with an alibi. Mick's coaching colleague, Konstantin Wahler, who is covering his classes, is under financial pressure. He underwent expensive training but was still only allowed to market Mick's program. Mick's current partner, sound bowl therapist Lisa Sterzel, on the other hand, seems genuinely desperate. Johanna is conducting her own research at the childbirth preparation course. She notices that another participant, Tamara Echternacht, is behaving suspiciously. But when she uncovers her true identity, she finds herself in mortal danger. Jerry's instincts drive him to race to the meditation center. He arrives not a minute too soon.

Luise Reitinger arrives at the Berchtesgaden police station, certain that the message Klara, her best friend and former colleague at the paramedics, supposedly sent her from her cell phone in Kenya, isn't from her. Jerry quickly spots a discrepancy in the accompanying photo, and the Federal Police confirm that Klara had indeed booked a flight to Nairobi-but wasn't on board. Since no body has turned up, Sophia, Jerry, and Beissl begin investigating within the emergency dispatch center. Why is Klara's colleague Ritschi so reluctant to admit that he was in a relationship with Klara until four weeks ago? What's the connection to the bloodstains in Klara's apartment, and who sent the incriminating note with the message: "Murderer!"? Suspicion falls on the distraught father, Toni Tretter, who blames the paramedics, including station chief Bertha Heinze and paramedic Bruno Wichmann, for his daughter's accidental death. They had taken far too long to get to the hospital. When Klara's body is discovered in the woods and another message from her reaches Luise, it's clear that one of the suspects is playing a double game. With the help of Franzi and Max, the investigators set a trap. But before it snaps shut, Jerry has to endure some gentle teasing from Johanna. She thinks he's simply overdoing it with his elaborate schedules for the maternity ward. But then labor begins, stronger than Johanna expected. And suddenly, even the best-laid plans are useless.

Dark clouds hang over a tennis club near the Watzmann mountain. Julia Feller, the newly elected chairwoman and exceptional coach, lies motionless on the court. Death by heart attack, diagnoses Dr. Hartmann. An abnormally high level of adrenaline is detected in the deceased's body, which, in Julia's case, who suffered from a rare disease, led to her immediate death. And it turns out that the victim was poisoned. Now, motives abound. Julia's deputy, Simone Herzig, was jealous of her popularity and aware of the medical context. Simone's son, Kilian, belonged to a group of high-performing players scheduled to compete internationally in Mallorca in a few weeks. This group also included Valentina de Luca, daughter of Ernesto, Jerry and Johanna's favorite Italian restaurant owner and proprietor of the club's restaurant. Her father, Ernesto, doesn't think much of his daughter's tennis ambitions. Quite the opposite is true for her brother, Francesco. And the third talented player, Lena Jackstedt, was furious with Julia. Her father, who sponsors the tennis club, had just left his wife, Lena's mother, for Julia Feller. Then an email with explosive content surfaces, which the victim had received shortly before her death. When forensic investigators also discover Kilian's fingerprints on the murder weapon, the perpetrator seems to have been found. But in this case, nothing is as it initially appears... Meanwhile, Beissl is coaching Sophia's son Luis in his garden at home. Luis feels sidelined at the football club. It's a good thing Beissl is a first-rate motivator.
