action
Inspector Stubbe is actually planning to visit a vernissage with his new girlfriend Claudia, when Aunt Charlotte suffers a heart attack and has to be taken to hospital at short notice. There the doctor found cardiac arrhythmias and pushed for a cardiac pacemaker to be prescribed , which the resolute Charlotte initially rejected rigorously and which she only decided to adopt after much persuasion. Meanwhile, Stubbe is called to a murder case: The correctional officer Günther Käppedies is found dead in his garden pond. At first there are no suspicious traces of a crime, but the autopsy reveals an overdose of diabetes pills as the main cause of the drowning. Since Käppedies was not a diabetic, murder is suspected, so that Stubbe and Zimmermann investigate. Obviously the perpetrator had put the remedy in his lemonade.
Stubbe's first investigations lead to the Hamburg juvenile detention center . Inmates like the young Jacob Fahrenson suffered greatly from his fellow Turkish prisoner Imran Aydin. Only a soccer club that Günther Käppedies had brought into being brought variety to the prisoners' everyday lives. Käppedies went to great lengths to look after his protégés. He even fell out with the prison doctor because, in his opinion, he had not properly treated a player's sports injury. He had also severely reprimanded Imran Aydin after he had humiliated Jacob Fahrenson once again. Stubbe gets the impression that Käppedies had taken special care of the locked Jacob. In the course of the investigation, there are many indications that Jacob is not who he claims to be. Somebody went to prison on behalf of Jacob, and Käppedies had found this out. Since Jacob's father is quite wealthy, he could afford to "protect" his son in this way. He persuaded Daniel Kirschneck, who worked in his company and looks very much like his son, and in return wanted to take care of his grandmother, who is dependent on help.
In the end Daniel Kirschneck can be convicted as a murderer by Käppedies. He hadn't intended the pill intake to end this dramatically, however. He just wanted Käppedies to be sick for a day or two so he could find a solution to their problem with Fahrenson's help.
Erik Fahrenson had hoped to get his son back on track, but he found that he could not break free of his drug addiction and in the end even died of it.
