action

15-year-old Matthias Wagner confesses to having shot his classmate Nick because he felt that he had treated him badly and that he had also robbed him. A classmate witnessed the incident and confirmed the information. She says Matthias has been suffering badly from Nick and now he has finally resisted.

Commissioner Stubbe, the course of the crime is not entirely conclusive. After all, Matthias cannot explain how he got the caretaker's gun. He claims that the gun was in his backpack. He himself is shocked about his act, because he actually only wanted to threaten Nick and had no idea that a shot would be released soon. Stubbe sorry for the boy who grows up with his father without a mother, has been bullied at school for months and who doesn't seem to have any friends. To make matters worse, Matthias' father is now also losing his job, because he was employed as a bus driver in the company that belongs to the father of the shot schoolboy. In order to be able to pay a lawyer for his son, Rolf Wagner prematurely terminates his home loan and savings contract, even making a financial loss, which makes him even more frustrated. When Nick's father made a very high claim for damages on Rolf Wagner, he didn't know what to do. Looking for consolation, he turns to Stubbe, who can calm him down a bit for the time being. For the inspector, Matthias Wagner is not so easily identified as a cold-blooded murderer. The fact that the man killed belonged to a real gang and terrorized not only the schoolchildren, but also the caretaker, makes Stubbe doubt Matthias' sole guilt. He finds out that the caretaker's gun was stolen, among other things, in a break-in. After Stubbe can locate some of the stolen objects, it is clear to him that Nick's closest friends Lukas and Sven committed the break-in and thus also had the weapon in their possession. He confronts Sven, who then collapses and admits to having put the pistol in Matthias Wagner's rucksack. He wanted to impress his Marleen and let her encourage him to do so. They just wanted to see how far their classmate would go if he were massively bullied and cornered again.

Matthias Wagner now notices that he enjoys a certain recognition in the juvenile detention center as a murderer, so that his self-confidence grows and he does not make any great efforts to leave these circles again. His father unexpectedly does this for him. Driven by his desperation and the guilt of not having done enough for his son, he hijacks his old bus and rams the prison wall of the juvenile detention center with it. Since it is his son's birthday today, he wants to give him this as a present. After a short escape with Matthias on the bus, Wagner is quickly caught. Stubbe explains to him the connections and details that led to Nick's death and that he can expect that his son will not have to go to jail. Wagner then gives up.
