Tödliches Schweigen is a German television film by Hans Werner from 2004. It is the twenty-sixth film in the ZDF crime film series Stubbe - Von Fall zu Fall with Wolfgang Stumph in the title role.

action

Wilfried Stubbe investigates the alleged attempted murder of the policewoman Isabelle, who was seriously injured in a bomb explosion outside a Hamburg police station. A little later, Stubbe has to find out by an anonymous letter that he was actually supposed to die in the explosion. The messages to him, however, were very mysteriously encrypted. At first it was loosened wheel nuts on his bike that had made him pensive, then someone sent him a book with bloody cat paw prints on the book cover. The corresponding severed front legs of a cat were found a little later in the company car that Stubbe had last used. Surprisingly, the perpetrator even called Stubbe in the police station, threatening with a distorted voice that he would destroy his life because he supposedly destroyed his. Stubbe is therefore very concerned about the safety of his family, but does not dare to tell his daughter or aunt the reason for it. That drives him to take the work home with him. Stubbe researches the files of his old cases and hopes to find concrete evidence of revenge. But the perpetrator bothers him with new actions and gives the inspector an ultimatum of 36 hours that he supposedly still had to live.

When studying the old files, Stubbe had certain doubts about his work as a police officer. After all, he never knows what he will do to the affected families when he arrests people from their environment as perpetrators. The voice analysis of the call suggests a very young assassin. These two facts lead Stubbe to suspect that the perpetrator could be the son or daughter of a former criminal. This leads to the Weber case, who killed himself in prison exactly a year ago, which explains the ultimatum to Stubbe and Zimmermann. Weber's son Thomas is now twenty years old and is now under urgent suspicion. In the course of his investigations, Stubbe learns the harrowing background to the act of Walter Weber. He did not kill his neighbor out of jealousy, but because he had abused his then 13-year-old son. This motive was kept secret so that he would not be questioned in court about the events that were traumatizing enough for him. Stubbe is even more shocked when he sees a recent photo of Thomas' sister. It is about Verena, a friend of his daughter Christiane, who she has known for a short time and who has been at their home very often recently.

Verena had sought to be close to the Stubbes in order to help her brother. But in the process she got to know the family and was able to experience what it means to have a family and experience how to interact with one another. So she helps the police and prevents her brother from detonating a deadly explosive device.
