Der Bulle und das Landei — Season 1

Chief Inspector Robert Killmer from Frankfurt was caught having an affair with his boss's wife. For professional reasons, he is transferred to rural Monreal in the Eifel region, especially since he has distinguished himself in an undercover operation.There he meets Kati Biever, who in turn plans to move to the big city because not enough happens in Monreal. Killmer moves into the rural inn, where his first case takes place. On his first night there, a fire breaks out, which was clearly arson to cover up the fact that the body lying in one of the guest rooms was shot before the fire. Killmer and his young colleague Kati Biever begin investigating the murder, with Killmer staying more in the background because he wants to leave as soon as possible.

Chief Inspector Robert Killmer is in Berlin because of a baby that is said to be his, and his colleague, Police Sergeant Kati Biever, who is assisting him, is to hold the fort in her area of responsibility, Monreal. During Killmer's absence, Biever is consulted by Mayor Drömmer because farmer Walter Jobst has failed to appear at an important meeting at the town hall to give his final approval for the sale of his farmland to enable the construction of a new supermarket parking lot. Jobst had vehemently opposed the sale in advance. Shortly thereafter, farmer Jobst is found dead in his manure pit. Biever's investigation focuses on building contractor Horst Ganter and master watchmaker Karl Ganter, who would have profited from the sale of the farmland.

Monreal is once again showing its sunniest side, everything is peaceful, and nature is in full bloom. But the idyll is deceptive. Not only is a mayoral election campaign "raging" in the town, but the police station is now to be closed for good due to a lack of work. Katie is desperate. Then she hears on the police radio about an unclaimed corpse in the neighboring district. Events come thick and fast: one body disappears and another suddenly appears. Farmer Maulbach, a candidate for mayor, has apparently been murdered. Grandma Biever is the prime suspect. Katie's aunt, of all people, apparently had reasons to want to get rid of the unpopular Maulbach for good. However, Katie refuses to accept this. Or does she know much more? Killmer must soon do everything he can to prevent his colleague from secretly making one piece of evidence after another disappear.

Major robbery in the Eifel region: On a sunny morning, a cash transport vehicle is attacked on a country road near Monreal. The two perpetrators, one tall and one short, steal €600,000. Both were masked, but wore police uniforms and used the Monreal patrol car as a cover. No wonder that the investigating LKA officer Melanie Marschall immediately targets the provincial police officers Killmer and Kati. The two have no alibi and are the only ones with keys to the getaway vehicle. To make matters worse, the perpetrators' masks are found at Killmer's house. In view of this overwhelming evidence, Killmer and Kati's energetic protests of innocence are of little use—they are not yet arrested, but they are suspended from duty. Their colleague Ralf, on the other hand, is recruited by Marschall to secretly monitor his superiors and gather further evidence against them.

Brave or reckless? Kati Biver happens to encounter the armed burglar who has just robbed the safe of jewelry designer Marianne Dobrinth and tries in vain to stop him. She then proudly gives a description of the perpetrator. Killmer, on the other hand, finds such a maneuver—off duty, unarmed, and without his escort—utterly reckless. He makes this clear to her. So clear, in fact, that Kati can only be appeased by a heroic act on Killmer's part: After taking statements from Marianne Dobrinth, her son Johannes, and her young lover Tonio Berger, he invites Kati to dinner. It turns out to be a wild evening. At least, that's what Killmer assumes when he wakes up the next morning in an Elvis costume, still drunk, and with a complete blackout in Kati's bed.

Mayor Drömmer has big plans. The 95th birthday of his predecessor Karl Wolter is a welcome occasion for a lavish celebration that will also draw attention to him, the political grandson of the great Monrealer. Before the joyful event, all that remains is to get Killmer and Kati through their divorce proceedings. The two have stubbornly stuck it out for a year of separation, with police tape across the apartment helping to keep them apart, and now not even Grandma Biever can prevent the divorce from finally going through. Yet she is still convinced that her Kati and Killmer are so well suited to each other. So it suits her that the divorce is interrupted by an emergency call: Wolter is dead, murdered by tampering with his stair lift. And so Kati and Killmer rush to the scene of the crime, still as a married couple.
