action

Commissioner Wilfried Stubbe and his colleague Bernd Zimmermann are called to the hospital , where the single parent Renate Blix is ​​currently inpatient with her thirteen-year-old, autistic son Tobias after a car accident. Blix claims to have been pushed off the lane by another car, which is why the criminal investigation department has now been turned on. However, Commissioner Zimmermann is of the opinion that there is no evidence of a criminal offense.

A few days later, entrepreneur Georg Jahn is found dead in Renate Blix's apartment. The married Blix has had a relationship with Jahn for years and Tobias is his biological son. Renate Blix claims to have been lured out of the apartment shortly before by an anonymous phone call and when she came back she found Jahn dead. Her son stayed in the apartment, but because of his handicap, he hadn't noticed anything. However, Commissioner Zimmermann thinks it is quite possible that Tobias could have acted violently against his father. Stubbe, on the other hand, hopes the boy will provide clues to the perpetrator, whom he may have seen. That's why he spends a lot of time at Brix's house to establish personal contact with Tobias. Caroline Stubbe then becomes jealous of the other woman and therefore cancels an important assignment that her boss had recently given her and that would have taken her far away from Hamburg. She wants to stay close to Wilfried and not lose sight of her daughter Christiane. In her panic, however, she drives her husband out of the house, who no longer wants to endure her unfounded jealousy. He first stayed in the hotel and then moved in with his colleague carpenter. This has the advantage that they can still discuss the case after work. According to Stubbe's research, Jahn did not want to merge with another company, which his grown son is striving for. He supposedly knew nothing of his father's double life, which Stubbe doubts. He is convinced that the solution to the case will be found with the Jahn family. His colleague Zimmermann, on the other hand, thinks Renate Brix is ​​urgently suspect when he finds a drawing by Tobias that shows a woman with an object with which she seems to hit someone. When there is also a letter that she wrote to Jahn and that looks like a threat, that is enough for Zimmermann to take the woman into custody.

Stubbe can make an interesting discovery through the surveillance camera of a bank that is right across from Brix's apartment. In order to convict the perpetrator, he confronts Jahn's wife, who then admits the crime. Their marriage had been over for a long time, but since her husband was now also letting the company "go to waste", she could no longer watch it. In the end, Armin Jahn confesses to the attack on Renate Brix and her son in the car.

After the case is resolved and Renate Brix is ​​released from custody, Stubbe moves back to his family.
