- DirectorJan Markus LinhofStarsChristian TramitzHelmfried von LüttichauMichael BrandnerUnexpected honor for the Wolfratshausen police station: On the occasion of the highest clear-up rate in all of Bavaria, the entire team was personally invited to Munich by police chief Manfred Kröpf. While Police Councilor Girwidz is already receiving the certificate in the presence of Police Sergeant Sonja Wirth and Police Chief Martin Riedl, Hubert and Staller are late for the celebrations - not only have they gotten hopelessly lost in the urban jungle, they are also keeping the suicidal spirit on the way to the police headquarters Anna Schmitt before jumping to her death from her balcony. The fact that the desperate lady is the partner of Deputy Chief of Police Markus Wieser causes additional inconveniences. Meanwhile, the President uses the meeting to win over the Wolfratshausen residents for a nationwide fight against drugs in the state capital. In particular, red light giant Stefan Wilde, with his contacts reaching far into the surrounding area, is a thorn in the side of the president. Girwidz promises his support and learns in a one-on-one conversation that the chief of police has other things to worry about: the Munich presidium has been criticized for months, and there is talk of drug trafficking, extortion and even murder. The chief of police fears a black sheep in his own ranks and the Wolfratshauser should help him to find it. Then the latecomers Hubert and Staller burst into the conversation and the chief of police invites Girwidz to his house to continue the secret conversation. Cooperation with Munich - "Unter Wölfen" When Girwidz arrives there the next morning, he finds the police chief Kröpf murdered. Kröpf's wife initially believes that Girwidz is the murderer and calls her husband's colleagues for help. A little later, Hubert and Staller as well as the Munich investigators Sebastian Kurz and Melanie Eder arrive at the crime scene and there are the first disputes over jurisdiction. After all, both parties agree: the chief of police fell victim to a burglar he had caught red-handed. Hubert and Staller are already annoyed and want to leave the field when Girwidz swears his team in a passionate speech to cooperate with their Munich colleagues in order to solve the heinous crime as quickly as possible and to comply with the President's last wish for supra-regional cooperation. Of course, he secretly wishes that Hubert and Staller would work as internal investigators. Even if there are many indications of a burglar, Girwidz fears that the "black sheep" could have murdered the police chief. He lets Hubert and Staller in on his delicate suspicions. The two not only have absolutely no desire for the new colleagues from the city, but also wonder how they should investigate with and against their colleagues at the same time, and the Wolfratshausen district also fears competition from Munich. Because Girwidz could not refuse the son of the murdered police chief, Niklas Kröpf, for an internship, Riedl now has to fear that he will soon be completely superfluous. as dr When Anja Licht examines the dead man and finds a packet of drugs in his clothes, it quickly becomes clear that the burglar theory is no longer tenable. In order to have an advantage over their Munich colleagues, Hubert and Staller initially conceal the find, set off on their own and pay a visit to the alleged Munich drug king Stefan Wilde in his Munich club.
- DirectorOliver MielkeStarsChristian TramitzHelmfried von LüttichauMichael BrandnerHansi and Hubsi.
- DirectorWilhelm EngelhardtStarsChristian TramitzHelmfried von LüttichauMichael BrandnerA different kind of end of work: the patrol car ran out of gas. Hubert and Staller argue on the bus about who is to blame for the dilemma when a cow blocks the road. Hubert drives away the stubborn animal with a warning shot. The bus driver discovers the glow of a fire in the neighboring forest - has the cow fled from it? On site, Hubert and Staller make a gruesome discovery: what burns there are the remains of a person - and the culprit seems to be found quickly: The one-armed farmer Weidinger has hidden in the bushes and is immediately arrested. For Police Officer Girwidz, the gruesome find comes at a very inopportune time. His former supervisor, Police Director Schmitz from Dortmund, surprisingly announced his visit. Girwidz hopes that Schmitz, who is about to retire, is looking for a worthy successor and has already commissioned Sonja and Riedl to bring the area up to scratch. Hubert and Staller should also help to give Schmitz a fitting reception, but the two would rather push the case forward. The arrest of Weidinger gives Girwidz hope for a quick solution. But Weidinger does not confess, but claims that he was only looking for his missing cow Emma. With only one arm, he doesn't seem predestined for this murder. The fact that pathologist Anja Licht finds out that the corpse is a young woman who has been strangled doesn't help them at first either. Weidinger must be released. Hubert and Staller have to pick up Police Director Schmitz from the S-Bahn station. There is a momentous accident on the way there - a young man lands on the hood of the patrol car. Driver Hubert is in shock: It looks like the man tried to kill himself by jumping off the bridge and landed directly on her car. Or was there help with the jump? Anja Licht finds traces of blood that do not match the accident. Police advisor Girwidz is on the verge of collapse. Instead of one corpse, they now have two. Police director Schmitz turns out to be a very brazen parasite. And then there is the cow Emma, who, thanks to further traffic obstructions, is now advertised for a manhunt. Hubert and Staller are puzzled and have no idea that the threads come together in a bizarre pensioner flat share on a farm.

- DirectorEd HerzogStarsSebastian BezzelIlse NeubauerEisi Gulp'Die, you pig!'. The words are emblazoned on the wall of school principal Höpfl's home for all the villagers to see. Soon after, this very man is found lying dead as a doornail on the train tracks. Franz Eberhofer, the local policeman in the sleepy Lower Bavarian province of Niederkaltenkirchen, suspects murder. And the prospect is one that does not entirely displease him, as this backwoods offers very little excitement other than the fantastic meals with his cooking-obsessed Grandma or the constant stress with his Beatles-loving Dad. He is supported by Rudi Birkenberger, now a department-store detective but previously with Franz in the Munich detective squad until both were suspended. The Höpfl case gets even more tangled when a second corpse is found, that of a drug-addict hustler with whom Höpfl had been in contact. Franz must also cope with the fact that his Susi is having an affair and he thinks the lover is the Thai offspring of his estranged brother, who is supposed to be their babysitter.
- DirectorRainer KaufmannStarsHerbert KnaupJockel TschierschJohannes AllmayerA body with a dead crow carefully draped on top of it is one of the stranger things detective Kluftinger has seen during his career in the police force.

- DirectorLars MontagStarsHerbert KnaupJockel TschierschJohannes AllmayerA mysterious phone call puts Kluftinger and his colleagues Maier and Hefele on the trail of a brutal series of murders. A serial killer who cuts out the hearts of his victims and drapes them macabrely at the crime scene is up to mischief in the Allgäu. There is hardly any time for Kluftinger's own worries, the chest pains that are making his life hell. Does he suffer from heart problems like his father? Kluftinger thinks - also because of the strange statements of his doctor Dr. Langhammer - terminally ill. But he will solve this case. Even if it's the last thing he does. In fear of death, Kluftinger takes surprising measures to turn things around again. A yoga class with Dr. Langhammer is one of them. The investigations lead him to the clinic in Oberstaufen, where his father is lying after heart surgery. The first murder victim turns out to be the chief physician of this clinic, Dr. Steiner. Drug residues were found in his blood. A drug that is only used in one series of tests in this clinic. Is it about illegal drug trials? Is Kluftinger's father also in danger? More victims are found: an insurance broker and an employee of the Augsburg regulatory office. A book of matches is found at all crime scenes, each time there is one less match in it. From five it goes down until there is only one left. But what is the connection between the dead? When Maier suddenly disappears, Kluftinger has to ask himself whether the last match is meant for his pedantic colleague. A dramatic race against time culminates in a showdown in the ghost train.
- DirectorLars MontagStarsHerbert KnaupJockel TschierschJohannes AllmayerThe monstrance with the relic of St. Magnus, which Kluftinger was unable to prevent from being stolen as a young policeman, is finally returning home. Kluftinger was deeply affected by the fact that Lodenbacher hired Maier of all people to ensure the safety of the Allgäu patron saint at the opening of the exhibition. He would have liked to iron out the embarrassment from back then himself, but instead he has to solve the murder of an old woman. But Kluftinger wouldn't be Kluftinger if he didn't realize that the murder of old Frau Zahn was connected to the monstrance and its safety. Everything indicates that Frau Zahn had rented a shed from the old sawmill to the gang, of all people, who are planning to steal the monstrance again. In this situation, Kluftinger hopes to get help from Heinz Rösler, one of the art thieves of the time who is now in prison in Vienna. He flies to Vienna with Maier, not realizing that Sandy has put her up with Austrian police colleague Valentin Bydlinski overnight. Bydlinksi, who obviously has a full-blown messie problem, generously clears his bedroom for Kluftinger and Maier, but the two have to share a bed. During a private conversation, Rösler guides Kluftinger to the chapel in Roßhaupten, where a copy of the monstrance is kept. In a Bible there, Kluftinger finds a photo that reminds him of the second art thief from back then. Apparently, Rösler actually knows more about the planned renewed robbery of the monstrance, which is supposed to take place during the grand opening of the exhibition. But for supporting the local police, Rösler demands to be transferred to the Allgäu. It was only later that Kluftinger realized that Rösler wanted to place his very own cards in this game.
