action
In Bad Tölz, a series of break-ins keeps the police on their toes. Commissioner Benno Berghammer and his colleague Sabrina Lorenz have so far paid no attention to these small crimes and have commissioned police officer Anton Pfeiffer with the investigation. That changes, however, when a burglary in the Protestant parsonage lamented a dead person: the pastor's father, paralyzed from the neck down. The family doctor found that Markus Busch died of a heart attack caused by panic-stricken shortness of breath because he had pulmonary fibrosis and was lying on his stomach. In addition, the oxygen device was not attached.
At the time in question, Pastor Nico Busch was with the head of the Diakonie, Ms. Söllner, because he wanted to discuss the home of his father with her because of the imminent transfer to Argentina, while his wife Christel was dancing salsa with Prelate Hinter .
Antonia Busch accuses her brother, the pastor, of bunkering his father's heirlooms in his hunting lodge, which were allegedly stolen during the break-in, but he refuses her entry. However, he lets Benno Berghammer take a look inside and says that it is the only place where he and his wife are undisturbed. The inspector finds an earring, secretly pockets it and shows it to his colleague Lorenz. They all agree that the piece of jewelery does not fit Christel Busch's style. When Berghammer held out the earring to Frau Söllner from the Diakonie, she gratefully took it.
Gradually, a connection is emerging between the break-ins and a group of illegal Polish cleaning women who are billeted as pilgrims' wives in Prelate Hinter's rectory. They all have the same cell phone number, but Commissioner Lorenz cannot reach her despite several attempts. In any case, Commissioner Berghammer does not believe that they have anything to do with the murder. The pastor couple would have a plausible motive, because Nico Busch could not need a nursing case because of his transfer to Argentina and his wife was strictly against admission to the home.
Ilonka, one of these cleaning women, works black in Resi Berghammer's pension - of course without the knowledge of her son Benno. The young Polish woman suspects that Michael Meislein and his buddy Kevin, who schedule the cleaning ladies' appointments, haunt the supposedly lucrative cleaning areas as burglars, and sets a trap for them: She claims that Resi Berghammer is old and frail, almost blind and hard of hearing lots of cash at home and spend most of the time in bed. In addition, her son has moved out. The key is in a flower box by the door. Ilonka lets Ms. Berghammer tell her son that he should be home in the evening. The trap snaps shut, but the inspector has forgotten his mother's message and finds out over the phone that she has caught two intruders with the iron. Since it stands to reason that Michael and Kevin are also responsible for the break-in at the rectory, they are also arrested on suspicion of murder. Kevin admits the break-in, he denies the murder. Michael Meislein, who supported Christel Busch as a civil servant with the maintenance, confesses to having taken the stamp collection. Markus Busch was already dead. Actually, he would have wanted the old Busch to see on the day of his father's death how he was bringing back his family's belongings - his family, which Busch had on his conscience. If he had wanted to kill Busch, he could have done that much earlier without anyone noticing that it was a murder.
During an interrogation break, Berghammer learns from forensic doctor Dr. Robert Sprung that the oxygen supply must have been interrupted several hours before death and therefore the time of death and the time of death are about three hours apart. Michael Meislein thus has a credible alibi from Prelate Hinter, who saw him at his father's grave and then had tea with him.
Pastor Busch leaves his wife for someone else and gives her a letter in which he describes his reasons. She takes it to Prelate Hinter and asks him for help because the police have arrested the wrong person. The prelate rushes to the police station and reports that Pastor Busch has confessed to his wife's murder and has disappeared since yesterday; it is to be feared that he will harm himself. To substantiate this, he shows the commissioners the letter from Pastor Busch to his wife, which says: "I can no longer live like this, every day increases my guilt, and it is better if I go."
To the commissioners, the letter sounds more like a suicide note from a breakaway husband, not like that of a suicide. You remember the earring and go to Ms. Söllner. From her they learn that Pastor Busch wanted to take them to Argentina; he has already filed for divorce. Frau Söllner suspects him to be in the hunting lodge, but it is locked. When the commissioners are about to leave, they hear a whistle from inside, whereupon Berghammer kicks in the door. Nico Busch is dazed and cannot speak. Commissioner Berghammer dials the emergency number, states that the pastor is diabetic and describes the symptoms. Christel Busch arrives and wants to give her husband an insolvency injection. But Berghammer receives instructions on the phone to give him sugar water and prevents the injection.
Christel Busch says that she and her husband have always dreamed of Argentina. Her father-in-law would not have been able to go and home placement was out of the question. He said that it would be better to die than to go to a home, that she should promise him. He needed them and they couldn't have gone to Argentina. She justifies the attempted murder of her husband with the fact that he left her, although he always said he could not live without her.
Subplot
The Berghammer family's grave is to be abandoned because the extension period for the lease was missed. Resi Berghammer successfully defends himself against the removal of the gravestone and nails protest slogans on the church door. Prelate Hinter lets her son tell her that she will soon get a cost estimate from the carpenter.
Benno Berghammer's request for an amicable solution was not heard from Prelate Hinter until the commissioner confessed to him in the confessional that he had stolen something from the Protestant rectory that actually belonged to the Catholic Church and that under certain circumstances he would be willing to put it in its proper place bring back. The prelate is extremely embarrassed because after the salsa dancing he gave the pastor's wife Christel Busch a portrait of the Virgin, but Benno Berghammer told Benno that it was with the restorer and that it could probably no longer be saved. Finally he gives up and extends the lease.
In the end, it is not Resi Berghammer who pays the bill for the repair of the church door, but the prelate's liability insurance because he improperly removed the nails.
