action

The young chief detective Olga Lenski has been transferred to her home state Brandenburg . Just as Olga is about to make her debut, she gets an urgent assignment. Felix Diest, who had been convicted of the killing of a police officer, did not return from a given release . As soon as Olga Lenski has left the police station, a message arrives that five-year-old Michelle has disappeared from kindergarten. As it turns out, Michelle is the daughter of Anne Diest, and thus the niece of the missing Felix Diest.

Felix has meanwhile gained access to the astrophysical laboratory, his former place of work, and is harassing Werner Linsing, his former colleague, who is employed there. He asks him for his drawings and says that he can now "make up for something". When Olga Lenski appears at the institute and asks Linsing about Felix, he denies that he has anything to do with the young man, but covers Felix, who is just there.

A little later, Olga Lenski gets to know main master Horst Krause. He is on his way to Anne Diest, who works as a maid in a hotel. Only now does Lenski find out that Michelle Diest has disappeared. She is irritated. When Commissioner Anne Diest asks about her daughter, she calmly continues to vacuum, only when Lenski yells at her that her daughter has disappeared, she says with stoic calm that she will come with me. She says she has to get changed first. Shortly afterwards, a colleague finds her hanging over the sink with her wrists cut open. An ambulance takes Anne Diest to the hospital.

Professor Ulrich Oppmann, the renowned head of the Astrophysical Institute, is returning from a stay abroad, where he was honored with a highly endowed award for his work. He will be duly received at the airport. His wife Elena is also there. She hugs him and whispers in his ear that she knows that their daughter is alive. Oppmann is irritable and points out that they would talk about it at home. Once there, they both shout at each other, which culminates in Ulrich Oppmann's sharp telling of his wife explaining that she should finally come to terms with the fact that they no longer have a child.

When Olga Lenski wanted to question Anne Diest in the hospital, Krause told her that Michelle was not Anne's child, but that of her brother Felix. Under a pretext, Olga sends Hauptmeister Krause out of the room, which he takes quite badly and later tells her unequivocally. When the inspector receives a call that she should come to Kastanienallee 12, she and Krause go there. Werner Linsing lives there. He reacts evasively to the officers' questions about Felix Diest and does not even let them into his apartment. He just says that Felix was there for a moment, gave him a few old drawings and then left again. However, Diest is with him and threatens him with a knife. Already almost out of the house, Olga Lenski realizes that she saw smoke through the half-open door in the apartment and that Linsing is a non-smoker. The officers find Linsing collapsed over his desk, he is dead. You can also secure a letter in the apartment from Felix to Linsing, who wrote to him from prison, “that he just can't get it out of his head that others think of their joint Invention would benefit "and ends with the words:" That can't leave you alone. "

Oppmann is sitting in his garden, which is right on a large lake, when a small motor ship is docking. It is Felix who approaches Oppmann and lets him know that he wants half the prize money and the truth and adds meaningfully: "Or should your wife keep crying her eyes out of her head?" He'll be back tomorrow and no police threatens he still and turns away. Immediately afterwards, Oppmann is on the phone with someone, rather excited.

Anne Diest has since left the hospital against the advice of the doctors. To Hauptmeister Krause, who is in her apartment, she says that she has no rest and that Felix needs your help if he shows up, otherwise he might do something stupid again. She tells Krause how nice and talented her brother is and that he was tricked. Inadvertently, she reveals to the officer that Felix owns a boat. It is shown in a picture that Krause asked for, even by name. Horst Krause then abruptly says goodbye.

At the police station, Olga Lenski has since learned that Werner Linsing's weak heart was no match for the excitement. He wasn't killed. Shortly afterwards, Oppmann's wife Elena asks about the inspector. She tells her that a man called her who knows where her daughter is. Olga can also communicate with her in Russian. Then, however, Prof. Oppmann appears and takes away his wife, who is reluctant to follow him. Lenski also overhears how she tells her husband that the caller told her that “her husband knows the price”. The Commissioner then inspects Marie Oppmann's file, who has been missing for five years. It dawns on Lenski that they are looking for a child who doesn't even exist. The commissioner goes to the institute to speak to Oppmann again. She asks about the reasons that led to Diest's termination. The professor thinks that Diest has overestimated himself and his own achievements more and more, but that the reason for the termination was the fatal accident that he culpably caused. As Lenski notes, however, the accident occurred in the afternoon and Diest was released in the morning.

Then Olga Lenski gets a call from Krause, who is on the Havel . She informs Krause that there is no child named Michelle Diest. When the inspector sees Prof. Oppmann rushing into his car, she follows him. She overtakes the car and drives to Anne Diest. Shortly afterwards Oppmann rings the woman's doorbell. Lenski tells Anne Diest that there is only one Marie Oppmann and no Michelle Diest. Oppmann says that he knows where the child could be and the three of them drive off. In the meantime, Krause observed, Diest penetrated the Villa Oppmann and kidnapped Elena Oppmann. When the trio arrives on the property, they see Felix Diest holding a knife to Elena’s throat and trying to force Oppmann to write down the text he has dictated. The professor is supposed to explain that he had passed Felix Diest's idea off as his own and even continued to remain silent when Diest kidnapped his daughter five years ago. Diest wanted to get Oppmann to “give him back” his invention. But he didn't do that and, out of professional ambition, preferred to sacrifice his own child, which Diest then gave to his sister in care. After Oppmann had now received an award with the corresponding prize money, Diest wants to force him again to admit that the invention of the revolutionary telescope goes back to Felix's idea. After he signs, Oppmann rushes to his wife and they both approach the boat where their daughter is waiting. This will be taken away. Lenski says to Krause that she would like to hug him now, to which he reacts with a friendly smile.

Together with Krause, Olga Lenski visits an old house that a colleague wants to sell, it should become her new home. Krause thinks that it suits her. A call comes in: Felix Diest killed himself in his cell. The inspector looks sadly outside.

Böhlich knows “what Potsdam needs”. TV Spielfilm comes to the conclusion: "Successful start for Simon and Krause."
