Totenfrau - Episode Guide

Funeral director Blum watches as her husband Mark, a local police officer, dies in a horrific motorcycle accident. Despite the debilitating grief, she tries to maintain her family life with her two children and the business with her assistant Reza. But soon she discovers a secret that puts everything in a new light.

The completely distraught Dunja tells Blum about terrible events: Mark brought her to safety and has now died for it. But they would continue to hunt Dunja's tormentors. Blum initially doubts Dunja's statements, but then Dunja identifies one of the tormentors on a photo. Blum gets involved in a dangerous game with him. She needs to know if he killed Mark.

The man's sudden disappearance after meeting Blum does not go unnoticed. His mother, the very influential local businesswoman Johanna Schönborn, does some research. It's unclear who is covering for whom in the village. When she looks at her first victim's mobile phone, Blum gets on the trail of another perpetrator - she goes to see him.

Consumed by doubts, Blum interrupts her revenge campaign. But when her son Tim is kidnapped as a bargaining chip, she shows no mercy. While her daughter Nela wants to show off at a party with stolen formaldehyde from the funeral home, Blum pursues a lead to another perpetrator. A life-threatening fight ensues.

Reza saves Blum and takes care of her wound. Police inspector Danzberger becomes suspicious and starts connecting Blum to the events. Meanwhile, Blum's daughter, Nela, gets in trouble at the rave party. When Blum and Reza pick her up from the location, Blum makes an unexpected discovery.

Blum is interrogated by the police at the station and finds it difficult to explain when she receives an alibi from an unexpected source. Blum is released with no solid evidence and soon finds herself in a far more threatening situation. At the same time, Reza makes an outrageous discovery - will he be able to warn Blum in time?

When a grave is opened in the cemetery, strange body parts wrapped in cellophane are found. Police chief Danzberger suspects that these belong to Edwin Schönborn, the missing son of the powerful hotel manager Johanna Schönborn, who disappeared two years ago. Danzberger begins the investigation with the help of BKA officer Birgit Wallner. Undertaker Blum and her colleague friend Reza Shadid are the first to be questioned about the macabre find.

Blum and Reza are interrogated by BKA investigator Wallner. While Reza is soon allowed to leave the police station, Blum ends up in the detention cell. Lawyer Wagenschaub bursts into the interrogation room and gives Blum terrible news: her daughter Nela has been kidnapped. Blum only has 72 hours to free her from the clutches of unscrupulous criminals. In return, she is to reveal where a video with explosive content is located. However, Blum has no idea which video it is.

Blum takes a data stick from the murdered lawyer Wagenschaub and checks his cell phone. She hopes that this will lead to a lead on her daughter's kidnappers. Meanwhile, Sebastian Hackspiel is following reports on the Internet about the discovery of the body parts in the cemetery. He visits hotel manager Johanna Schönborn and warns her that the past is now catching up with her. Schönborn then surprisingly gives Blum a tip about Badal Sarkissian's import/export company YAR.

BKA investigator Wallner is determined to catch Blum. Danzberger thinks the effort is excessive. With Reza, they have a suspect at the police station who confessed to the murder of Edwin Schönborn. Meanwhile, Blum follows the trail to the unscrupulous businessman Badal Sarkissian. Sebastian Hackspiel is also spying on him and his sister Tamar. Meanwhile, Wallner arranges for a search of Sarkissian's house.

Blum's meeting with Sarkissian, where she wanted to swap his sister Tamar for Nela, goes wrong. Sebastian Hackspiel is killed. Police chief Danzberger informs Johanna Schönborn that Hackspiel was found dead in the forest and finally wants to know who is behind the murders. Schönborn, as always, is keeping quiet. Wallner has since been taken off the case. For Blum, she is the last hope of finding out Nela's whereabouts.

In the confiscated documents, Wallner comes across a purchase contract for an old property that Sarkissian bought for the state governor candidate Richard Lange. For Blum, a race against time begins. If her daughter Nela is being held there, it is the last chance to save her from certain death. While Wallner sets off with Sarkissian in the car, Blum races to the secluded, dilapidated villa on her motorcycle.
