action
The graphic designer Uwe Seifert is found stabbed to death in his apartment. Chief Detective Verena Berthold and colleague Otto Garber investigate and can rule out robbery very quickly. However, there are indications of a robbery in which the victim may have been involved. The fingerprints of Werner Milatowski, who is well known to the police, are found in the apartment. Ten years ago, Milatowski and an accomplice robbed a money transporter, stole 2.6 million euros and shot a man in the process. He's been at large for a few days.
During the investigation, the investigators come across Cornelius Wecker, who was staying near Seifert's apartment at the time of the crime. Wecker works for the insurance company that insured the money at the time. He has been following Milatowski since his release from prison and allegedly lost sight of it. Verena Berthold takes care of Sabrina, Seifert's desperate 18-year-old daughter, and is supported by Maria Bundgaard, a German with a Danish passport, who allegedly met the victim a few weeks ago. The team finds out that Seifert was visited by a woman in a red dress shortly before his death.
After an interrogation of Maria Bundgaard, Berthold finds out that she was the wife of Uwe Seifert and is therefore the mother of Sabrina. She had divorced Seifert and committed the robbery together with Milatowski. She then lived in Thailand and met her second husband Bundgaard, with whom she then lived in Copenhagen. After the death of her Danish husband, she returned to Germany because of her daughter.
Milatowski kidnaps Maria Bundgaard on a police transport and drives her to a bank to get the loot of the robbery from a locker. When asked, Sabrina gives the team a tip where the money is deposited. Milatowski is arrested when leaving the bank, as is Cornelius Wecker, who is now working on his own account and wanted to take the money back from Milatowski. Maria is brought for questioning.
Maria initially confesses the killing of her ex-husband Uwe Seifert, allegedly it was a matter of self-defense. She buried the crime knife in the garden, which is also found there. From the scene of the crime, she called herself at home to get an alibi. The red dress is not Maria's size, however, and she tries to buy time during the interrogation. She tells that Sabrina was repeatedly mistreated by her father and that she killed her father in self-defense under unfortunate circumstances. Maria then got her daughter an alibi.
Sabrina took the remaining money from the robbery from another safe deposit box. Berthold and Garber suspect that she wants to flee to Bangkok and rush to the airport. Sabrina sits down in a taxi in front of the terminal with the destination Copenhagen. Berthold sees her briefly sitting in the taxi, but believes he was wrong.
