action

Chief Inspector Joachim Raabe has been transferred from Halle to the task force around Chief Inspector Jürgen Huebner, but they both know each other from earlier times. As long as he does not have his own apartment, he is allowed to stay with Jürgen Huebner. One day, Joachim Raabe received a call from ambulance nurse Beate Lenz: Her boss, company doctor Dr. Susanne Hecht, threatened by an anonymous caller. Dr. Hecht himself does not want to turn to the police, although the situation is emotionally charged to them. The anonymous calls seem to be a bit of a problem. Susanne reacts exasperated when Joachim Raabe appears and does not want to talk about the case. Jürgen Hübner also sees no possibility of action as long as Susanne does not file a complaint. Nevertheless, Joachim Raabe tries to get information about the perpetrator and listens to one of the threatening calls.

One day the investigators are called to commit a crime: The seriously injured Susanne is found in the park. She was choked to death and fell into a deep coma in the hospital. The investigators now learn that Susanne is three months pregnant. In the act she will lose her child. Her husband Hans Hecht, who owns his own shop as a baker, is shocked. He is one of the suspects, as the investigators found out that he is unable to father and that the child must be from another man. In fact, Susanne had an affair with the company driver Günter Kühne. The child is also from him. Hans Hecht is also suspected of having called his wife anonymously, as threatening calls were made even when the family was on vacation, and they were probably made from the hotel itself. Later it turns out that Hans 'long-time employee made the calls because she already knew and appreciated Hans' father and wanted to protect her son from the cheating Susanne.

The case appears in a new light when Hans testifies that he supported his wife's behavior himself. Both had wanted a child for a long time, but knew that Hans was unable to conceive. Hans asked Susanne to look for a “replacement” from whom she should become pregnant. So she would have been the birth mother and Hans could have adopted the child in place of his father. The couple had previously refused an adoption or artificial insemination. Susanne chose the womanizer Günter as the child's father, but he did not accept that she wanted to leave him again after a short time. During the interrogation, Günter Kühne now admits that he wanted to speak to Susanne on the day of the crime. Here she threw at him that she had only used him for conception. Then he choked her until she stopped moving. Günter is arrested.
