action

After Manfred Oelze and Rudolf Abeleit were buried after the tunnel exploded, a rescue operation started. To get to the two men, a massive concrete wall has to be blown up. In the end only Manfred Oelze can be rescued alive. He gives the investigators a map of the tunnel that he had received from an old man. Captain Wolfgang Reichenbach believes that the man was Grabler and seeks Martha Abeleit. She tells him once more that Grabler is dead. Landlord Willi Konstabel was an eyewitness at the time. Reichenbach seeks out the landlord, who now tells the truth. Erwin Reichenbach was once called by his office to a meeting point in the moor, but never arrived there. The call from the office went to Konstabel's inn because Reichenbach could not be reached. An employee of Konstabels went to inform Reichenbach. Grabler said goodbye for a short time. When he returned, he told Konstabel that he had to flee. He justified this with his precarious private situation - Anna Abeleit had given birth to his son out of wedlock - and his suspicion that Reichenbach was up to something against him. Konstabel helped him escape. He was also there when Grabler blew up a shaft. Grabler obliged him to spread that he had perished in this tunnel and that the supposed treasure trove was also destroyed.

Reichenbach and Lieutenant Jürgen Hübner track down Rosler alias Hermann Vogler. He admits that Abeleit and Oelze received the map of the shaft from him. Vogler had found Grabler, who later came back to Thuringia after his escape to the west and lived there under a false name, in the early 1950s. Grabler called himself Simonis; after his accomplice murdered by him; the servant of the also murdered peasant Schwertfeger.

Vogler wanted to betray Grabler, who had taken some of the valuables hidden in the tunnel. Grabler offered to tell him the way to the tunnel treasure. He drew the map in 1953, but incorrectly indicated a turn in the road. She would have led Vogler into a mined corridor, in which Abeleit and Oelze ended up. Since Vogler was in prison from the end of 1953 and was later unable to do so due to his age, he was never able to find the treasure himself and exchanged the card for schnapps.

Martha Abeleit goes to Stralsund and meets Grabler's son from his second marriage here. He brings her to Grabler. He now lives as an innkeeper on the Baltic Sea under the name of Martha's first husband Rudolf Abeleit. His son grew up as an Abeleit and knows nothing of the father's past. Martha accuses Grabler of having her son on her conscience. She wants to know from him whether he was actually a murderer during the Nazi era and whether he came to her village under a false name and as a false concentration camp prisoner. Grabler denies everything, but Martha doesn't believe him. When she leaves him, he runs over her and transports the body to Jena. Martha will soon be missing and after a few days her photo will be published in the newspaper. Grabler's son wants his father to go to the police and tell her that Martha was with them before she disappeared. Grabler, however, no longer wants to know anything about the subject. When his son does not give up, he confesses to having killed Martha. Not only did she want to uncover his past, but she also wanted to put him in jail for a new crime - the murder of her. His previous crimes were either statute-barred or very difficult to prove.

In the meantime, Anneliese Roland has appeared at Reichenbach and Hübner's, Reichenbach's former childhood sweetheart "Anne Abeleit" and mother of Rudolf Abeleit (Grabler's illegitimate son) who died in an accident. She wants to find out more about the fate of her son and mother and tells the investigators that Grabler once received the birth certificate of her deceased father from Martha and may therefore now be living under the name Abeleit. Reichenbach and Hübner go to Stralsund and meet Grabler's son here. When he learns that his father is wanted for multiple murders, he describes them the way to the father's property. Grabler is already expecting the investigators. When he tries to shoot Reichenbach, he is caught by Hübner and finally taken away. Reichenbach's father Erwin, now buried, can finally rest in peace.
