It's hard to imagine an episode of "Cops" where the SWAT team emerges from the helicopter, heads for the locker room and settles down in the break room to... crochet? But the forces of law and order in North Rhine-Westphalia do just that, and for every knitted cap sold, five euros goes to a charitable organization! (video copyright dpa)

In traditional carnival style, the village idiot - portrayed by comedian Günter Dudenhöfer - misspeaks, twists his words all around and gets all mixed up. In the process, however, he leaves various social institutions and current trends in his wake handsomely lampooned. Viel Spaß dabei!

Here's more from comedian Günter Dudenhöfer. According to the program's host, he's the Palatine region's best "Büttenredner" [carnival] orator since Helmut Kohl. A "Bütt" is a barrel in which the orators usually stand while airing the latest "dirty laundry" of the powers that be. Viel Spaß!

Louis and Elias of the street band Guaia Guaia are about as close to The Big Lebowski's "The Dude" as you could expect any pair of twenty-something German guys to be. Watch this video as an excercise in learning to chill out and live free! Kopfhörer aufsetzen, Musik aufdrehen! (video copyright dpa)

Hendrik Weins from Gamestar.de has invited pro racedriver and playmate Christina Surer as a worthy opponent for the multiplayer match in GTR Evolution. Both of them speed along the Nordschleife in a do-or-die and “tight” car chase.

In Hamburg's fourteenth precinct, a new colleague joins the police force and a new case is presented: a mysterious accident at a construction site.

Ben notices a few odd circumstances surrounding the death of Jannik Sternberg, while the cops at the station continue to try to impress Nicole, their new colleague.

Too many things about Jannik Sternberg's death seem odd, especially when the colleagues find out that this isn't the first "accident" at the construction site.

In this episode, the police find more evidence that Jannik's brother-in-law, Mr. Nagel, may have been involved with his death.

The officers investigate an unlikely break-in as the case of Jannik Sternberg becomes increasingly more suspicious.

The construction site where Jannik Sternberg fell to his death comes under scrutiny. At the station, Dirk and Lothar realize that Nicki might need a bit more supervision.

Jannik Sternberg's boss offers his widow a payoff, and in return his widow offers the police evidence of Sternberg's apparent suicide.

The colleagues are still having trouble believing that Jannik Sternberg would have committed suicide and are becoming increasingly frustrated. Meanwhile, the ladies from the crime prevention seminar seem to have taken matters into their own hands!

The pills found at the construction aren't antidepressants after all, which contradicts Ms. Sternberg's account of her husband's state of mind! Then her distraught daughter suddenly disappears.

Despite Olaf's worries, Marie is found, and the other loose ends are tied up as well in the conclusion of this episode.
