- A meek, mild-mannered man begins to suspect that his beautiful wife is poisoning him after he realizes that his acute stomach aches occur only after he eats at home.
- It's Carnival time in Cologne and Max and Freddy visit a club one evening when everyone is in costume and celebrating. The lead "dancing girl" leaves early and is found the next morning, strangled right outside the psychiatric hospital -- presenting no shortage of suspects. Cut to Ellen Strohmeier, attorney, posing for her client/lover, Harald Berger, who is impatiently sketching her. As the story develops, it turns out that Ellen met him during one of her routine visits to the psychiatric hospital, where Herbert Muh-Munn, a known serial killer, is held. The director of psychiatry at the hospital has a policy of allowing in-patients to leave for limited periods of time, although he cautions that there is always the danger of residual risk ("restrisiko"). Max and Freddy, not to mention many local residents, are naturally opposed to this policy and many locals meet to strategize against it. Because Ellen, in love with Berger, decides to leave her husband, Dr. Jurgen Strohmeier, he tries to convince her that Berger is an obvious wack-job and is no doubt the killer. In fact, Max and Freddy consider Berger and Muh-Munn to be the lead suspects, while their office assistant, Lissy, believes the estranged husband of the murder victim is the only possible suspect. Cowboyschusters, parades, papier-mâché heads, and crazy costumes fill the center of Cologne, making solving the case that much more difficult.
- Max and Freddy investigate the death-by-cyanide of a wealthy elderly man. With a wife living in Spain, and a mistress living in Cologne, he had at least two women who would profit by his death. Upon further investigation, Max and Freddy learn that the cyanide victim was responsible for a motorcycle accident which left the motorcyclist, a professional hockey player, paralyzed. The list of suspects continues to grow as they begin to suspect that a single source of cyanide is responsible for at least seven recent assisted suicides. If they discover the source, they may very well find the killer.
- As this episode ("Die Frau im Zug"/"The Lady on the Train") opens, Max and Freddy are in the process of arresting infamous gangster, Schwarz, known for human trafficking and drug smuggling. The tables turn quickly and Max finds himself held at gunpoint. Freddy saves the day, but there is hell for him to pay, chiefly coming from a glamorous blonde on his train as he attempts to escape to a rare getaway (by order of the Cologne Police Dept.'s psychologist). This may be the only episode to show Freddy in drag, so it is not to be missed. Lissy is no longer working for them, but her replacement, Franziska, wastes no time proving herself to be indispensable.
- A woman is found by her husband after she is attacked and has her almost-full-term baby cut out of her womb. The woman survives, but the search is on for the missing baby. Soon thereafter, a respected research doctor is found in his office, having been bludgeoned to death. Burowski needs to find out the connection, if any, between the two attacks. Meanwhile, Burowski's partner, Zainalow, is imprisoned based on deposits made to reputed terrorist organizations in Iran. Burowski needs to prove Zainalow's innocence and his trust in him.
- Trude is about to be released from prison after 3 years, knowing that Sverre has promised to wait for her. Randi is terrified because she knows Trude will take Sara back, after she has acted as the child's mother for three years. Meanwhile, Sverre and Trude get careless about their ongoing affair.
- Cenk Batu goes undercover to detect an industrial mole. As soon as he feels he's getting close, he's yanked by his Handler's supervisors. Clearly, someone high up the political chain doesn't really want the mole uncovered. As an added distraction, he is becoming involved with Mia, the (secret) daughter of the prime suspect and a recent suicide. Or was it a homicide?
- Helsinki has seen a number of deaths due to a new shipment of "artificial Heroin" being introduced from Russia. The "Russsian Mafia" in St. Petersburg suspects Victor ("Viki") and his ne'er do well lazy brother, Aleksei, are responsible for the fake/fatal heroin, and threaten both brothers, as well as Viki's girlfriend, Marja.

- Benjamin Lebel is hired by the son of a wealthy estate owner, Jean Guillame Ubayre's son, William, to conduct an assessment of his family's vineyards in Saint-Vivant (Bourgogne?). He takes Mathilde along on this tour, and together, they encounter a murder, a suicide attempt, a series of thefts and several blackmail schemes.
