action

Ms. Klinger finds the young scientist Beate Beyer dead in her apartment. She apparently took her own life with an overdose of pills. In addition to an empty pill tube, Lieutenant Jürgen Huebner also found a farewell letter in the apartment. Only two things irritate him: In Beate Beyer's documents there is a reference that she was pregnant. There is also a fresh bouquet of roses in the apartment.

Review: Beate Beyer has a relationship with the married father Armin Hagen, whom she knows from university and who works on the Elbe shipyard in Boizenburg. She has long wanted him to tell his wife about the relationship and file for divorce, but Armin always put her off. His business wants to delegate him to the institute in Potsdam, but Armin hesitates because the director of the institute is Beates father. Beate, in turn, reports to Armin one day that he is pregnant with her. She wants to have the child and believes that Armin will now decide against his family and for them. However, he begins to distance himself from Beate, whom he can no longer have alone. Although he still meets with her every Friday, she has to recognize that the bond with his wife Katja has become closer. Katja, on the other hand, becomes suspicious because friends have seen Armin with another woman in the car and because one day she sees Beate picking up Armin at the factory gate. Armin now announces to Beate that although she will come to her on Friday, she will not be able to stay. When Armin came to Beate's apartment on Friday, she was taking pills. Her suicide note makes it clear to him that he can save her if he gets help. Armin, however, cuts off his salutation from the letter and leaves the apartment after putting the roses he had brought with him into the water. A little later he sees an ambulance driving away from the house and hopes that Beate will be saved.

Armin races home and reaches his apartment in record time. The next day he tried in vain to find out something about Beate in the hospital - during the night it was not her but another patient who was driven from the house to the clinic. He now calls Beates apartment, but Jürgen Huebner answers, who is inspecting the crime scene. Jürgen Huebner's superior believes that the suicide is clear, but Huebner investigates. He learns that Beate had an affair with Armin and put him under pressure because she had had her child aborted before she committed suicide. In addition to the child, the overdose was also an attempt to bind him to himself, which the suicide note makes clear. Armin, on the other hand, pretends to have not been to Beate that evening. From the information provided by the rose seller, Hübner can prove that Armin bought roses that Friday, and he also knows that the farewell letter contained a second page that was torn off, but this is not enough to prove that Armin was failing to provide assistance made guilty. Armin, in turn, realizes that his wife, who was questioned about Beate by the police, knows that he was with Beate on Friday and left her dying. She doubts whether she can give her marriage another chance. Armin now goes to Jürgen Hübner and reports himself.
