The Millenium Murderer
1h 30m6.5 / 10
In an open field on the edge of the Vienna Woods, a car burns out. The police discover the remains of a body inside the vehicle, around which a symbol has been carved into the earth. This unusual discovery presents Chief Inspector Eisner and his team of investigators with a baffling puzzle. The victim was the owner of a peep show. Is this ritualistic tableau the work of a psychopath, or is a killer from Vienna's pornographic underworld using this scenario to divert attention from their true motive?

Passion
1h 30m4.0 / 10
Viennese Inspector Moritz Eisner (Harald Krassnitzer) had envisioned his vacation in idyllic Tyrol quite differently. On the very day after his arrival, while out hiking, he stumbles upon a dead body. Hubert Egger (Gregor Seberg)—the son of Mayor Alois Egger (Dietmar Schönherr)—has been murdered in a manner as gruesome as it is symbolic. Someone has nailed the actor playing Jesus in the Passion Plays—traditionally performed by the small community every eight years—to the cross. The still-inexperienced Inspector Roxane Aschenwald (Sophie Rois) is assigned to solve the case.

A man is shot dead in broad daylight in Cologne city center. The bullet was fired from 700 meters away and went straight to the heart. Chief Inspector Freddy Schenk believes he knows the murder weapon that can hit the target with pinpoint accuracy from such a great distance. The victim, Charly Hecker, was a successful businessman who apparently had never done anything wrong in life. During the interrogations of Hecker's young wife Franka, something happens to Inspector Ballauf that should not happen: He falls in love with the murdered man's widow and begins to meet her secretly.
