action
So shortly after the death of his wife, Wilfried Stubbe tries to regain structure in his everyday life. The best way to do this is through work, and so a new murder case comes in handy. The psychotherapist Georg Altenberg was found shot. A witness had observed a motorcyclist days before and even noted the license plate number. This leads Inspector Stubbe to the student Ulrike Bach, whose mother hanged herself some time ago. However, her friend Inge Gruner gives her an alibi for the time of the crime.
Stubbe very soon found a motive for the crime in his investigation, because both clues in the victim's practice and Ulrike Bach's family background point to this. His colleague Zimmermann, however, bites into the search for the criminal Maiwald, who was recently released from prison and had threatened Altenberg when he was convicted because Maiwald was incriminated by his judgment. But Zimmermann also has to discover that his suspect has an alibi. Nevertheless, he does not give up the investigation against "a professional" perpetrator, because the targeted shot and the caliber of the murder weapon indicate a trained shooter.
Inge Gruner tries to confide in Stubbe and tell him that she is a patient of Dr. Altenberg and had been sexually abused by him . Her "confession" is only possible on the second attempt, however, and so Stubbe also learns that she and her friend Ulrike Bach intended to report Altenbach. Therefore they had contact with the lawyer Dr. Dr. Glahm added. He had advised them to find another victim of abuse so that they would have a chance in court. That is why Ulrike Bach spent her free time in front of Altenberg's practice. In this way she hopes to become aware of possible victims so that she can then contact them and persuade them to file a complaint. She herself suffered so much from the loss of her mother that she will not leave any stone unturned to atone for this death by legal means.
The name Dr. Glahm struck Stubbe again when he found out that Glahm was always represented as a lawyer in the lawsuits in which Altenberg provided psychological reports. He can thus prove that the two of them have a financial cooperation. Glahm, who knows his way around tax havens and is also a marksman, had requisitioned money for his “friend” by passing the tax office abroad. Since Altenberg also had access to these accounts, he made considerable use of what Glahm had noticed and was unwilling to accept.
Stubbe and Zimmermann can convict him when he tries to hide the murder weapon from Inge Gruhnert.

Reviews
The critics of the television magazine TV Spielfilm found a stump “in a brooding and subdued mood” as “not an advantage”. They gave victims in the twilight a medium score by pointing their thumbs to the side.
TV Today felt, so shortly after the death of his wife Caroline, that you experience "Stubbe in a completely different way: in a brooding and subdued mood."
