action
During a patrol trip, the captain of the coast guard ship Albatros , police chief inspector at BGS Holger Ehlers , hears gunshots. As the Albatros approaches the place of origin of the shots, it turns out that several drunks are shooting clay pigeons on the open sea. Since the situation has now escalated, the men are shooting at each other and requests to stop shooting do not help, the police chief inspector at the BGS has the Albatros steered exactly between the two boats. During this maneuver , the gearbox of the coast guard ship is damaged, which annoys the chief machinist, police superintendent at BGS Wolfgang Unterbaur .
Back in the port of the Federal Border Guard, the drunken riflemen are led from the ship and the head of operations of the coast guard, first police chief inspector at BGS Kurt Weber , comes on board the Albatros to ask the captain and the chief engineer about the extent of the damage to the machine. He also asks Holger Ehlers to come to his office to introduce him to the Albatros' new officer on watch . Ehlers and his team are amazed, because with the police commissioner at the BGS Frederike Hansen , against all expectations, it is a woman. She is one of the first generation of female Coast Guard officers.
During his time off duty, Ehlers and his wife Ingrid attended a school festival, at which his son Erik was a drummer in a band. The boy's teacher tells Ingrid and Holger Ehlers, on the sidelines of this school festival, in a conversation that their son has been absent from class in the past without excuse, that his performance is catastrophic and that his transfer is at risk. Furthermore, the teacher reports that Erik Ehlers is more likely to hang around with “dodgy characters from the harbor”.
A little later, the next mission awaits the Albatros crew : Siegmar Beckmann and his little son David drifted off in a rubber dinghy . Lifeguard Dette Müller, who tried to get to the boat himself, has to notify the coast guard. Meanwhile, the father tries desperately to row back, which he cannot do because of the strong current. While the search operations by helicopter have to be aborted due to the onset of darkness, Holger Ehlers and his crew continue to search for the two. In the late evening, the crew managed to find father and son and bring them on board.
At the same time as the search for the rubber dinghy, an incident occurs on board the coaster Neris : After he was constantly bullied by Jan Petersen and several other colleagues on board , the new crew member uses what his colleagues only call "Russki" because of his origin is in the on-board cash desk. He is caught by Captain Möller. In the following scramble, "Russki" kills the captain and subsequently tries to murder Petersen as well. However, this can first be saved. When the crew learned of the death of their captain a short time later, "Russki" was immediately under suspicion; when Petersen finds the stolen money from the board cash from him, “Russki” overwhelms him, knocks him down and throws him overboard. Boatswain Jensen goes in search of the murderer with a gun and radio operator Ohlsen notifies the Albatros . While the crew is hiding in the radio room or the galley , "Russki" succeeds in killing helmsman Bachmann and later knocking down boatswain Jensen. When the crew around Captain Ehlers reached the Neris , Holger Ehlers was determined to bring the case to an end without reinforcement. At the same time, "Russki" destroys the door to the radio room. He shoots into the radio room, hits a crew member in the shoulder, but does not seriously injure anyone. When the coast guard was translating, the Albatros' new officer on watch, Police Commissioner at BGS Friedrike Hansen , went to look for "Russki" with several BGS officers. They manage to free the crew members from the radio room, but while the paramedic Schneidewind goes there to take care of the injured, the killer overwhelms and disarms him. Then the situation gets out of hand: David Beckmann, the boy whom the Albatros and his father recovered from the rubber dinghy, leaves the cabin without authorization and goes to the deck of the coast guard ship. At the same moment, “Russki” jumps on board the Albatros and shoots Ehlers, who then falls. When Ehlers and Hansen want to target the murderer, the boy stands in their way. The police chief inspector in the BGS asks "Russki" not to shoot the boy, whereupon the boy holds the gun to his own head, collapses crying and can be arrested.
