Aired: 1/11/2022

Arda Turan, former high-performance swimmer, has just started her service at the Duisburg Water Protection Police, where there is already the first corpse. Stefan Buhl is dead at the edge of the harbor. What Carsten Heinrich von der Kripo quickly identifies as a fatal occupational accident raises doubts among Gerhard Jäger, who was sentenced to the "WaPo" by the murder commission. A look at the corpse tells him it was murder. But leave the investigation to the Kripo? - No chance!

2. Verschwunden

Aired: 1/18/2022

A driverless boat on the Rhine initially also alerts the Kripo, because there are traces of blood on deck. But the supposed blood turns out to be a red rust protection paint and so the case falls within the competence of the "WaPo". Jäger quickly realizes that something is wrong and sets out together with his colleagues Arda Turan and Frank van Dijk in search of the owner. However, Duisburg entrepreneur Niklas Brandt, who owns the boat, has disappeared and his wife's behavior is quite strange. The colleagues at WaPo want to take a closer look at this. An observation confirms her suspicion: The man was kidnapped.

The Kripo is on the verge of taking up a drug ring and delivery, while the "WaPo" is chasing a wild angler who has so far been able to escape its access every time.

The two manage to send a message and its location, but the joy does not last long, because the container is loaded! The situation is threatening: How long can they survive in the cold?

A homeless person is found dead in the inner harbor. Carsten Heinrich von der Kripo quickly dismisses the case as suicide and leaves the "WaPo" to identify the victim. Marcel Bautz is already waiting impatiently at the guard: He misses his best friend - who turns out to be the dead homeless person. Bautz is sure that Hacki, whom he only knows by this name, was killed and the injuries of the dead also indicate this. But who would have a motive?
