action
The Berlin detective chief inspectors Verena Berthold and Otto Garber are asked by the Federal Criminal Police Office for support in the event of repeated bomb attacks against the local chemical company Xeno AG, which specializes in products to increase agricultural yields. The bombers are calling for the construction of a planned genetic research center to be halted immediately. Berthold and Garber are investigating the case under a press ban on the part of the BKA. Verena Berthold meets Anna Ansorge, a close childhood friend and former roommate. Anna is a lecturer at the Institute of Chemistry, which also stores bomb-proof chemicals, and she herself used to be an environmental activist. Ansorges Mann Götz sits on the board of Xeno AG, where he is the last member to represent a conservative strategy that relies on traditional fertilizers. He has no chance against the votes of his fellow board members. They are planning a complete reorientation towards genetic engineering and consider Ansorge to be a cranky old man. Since a car accident in which Anna was behind the wheel, Ansorge has also been dependent on a wheelchair. All of this made him very bitter, which also weighs on the marriage. Anna has had a relationship with Jan Göllner, one of her students, for some time. Little does she suspect that Jan, of all people, is one of the bombers. He secretly procures the chemicals from the institute and his good friend Florian Klenk, an electronics specialist, builds the detonators that are remotely controlled by mobile phone. In the meantime there has been another assassination attempt, this time on a Berlin power plant, which puts parts of the city in darkness. Through research on well-known radical environmentalists with electronics knowledge, the SEK finally becomes aware of Klenk. During the raid on his apartment, after an exciting chase over the roofs, they were only able to arrest Klenk's subtenant Voss, who is trading in illegal copies of computer games. In addition to his student dorm, Klenk also has a caravan parked on an industrial wasteland on the Spree. When the SEK arrives there, they find the bomb workshop they were looking for and the two perpetrators. Klenk and Göllner are dead, apparently murdered by an unknown person. There are tire prints from a large SUV on the site. That puts Verena and Otto on the trail of the mastermind in the background. Götz Ansorge, who financed and controlled the attacks to prevent the group from realigning, drives exactly such a car. With his arrest they can prevent a marriage drama at the last minute.
In this episode, Sputnik runs the "Mila Eck" bar on Schönhauser Allee again. Otto buys Verena a tortoise as a birthday present. In the last scene it turns out that the turtle was pregnant and now has plenty of offspring. That would be a scientific sensation for an animal that reproduces by laying eggs.
