action

Public Prosecutor Dr. On his way home through the Bolivar Park, Risterer can barely prevent the murder of a young woman; the perpetrator escapes him. While summoning Sommer's colleagues, Lea Sommer is harassed by an anonymous caller who tells her that he has already murdered two women and that the third murder was just disturbed. The caller speaks an Alemannic accent and makes it clear that he is targeting professionally successful women. Sommer learns from Ms. Wegner, the prevented murder victim from Bolivar Park, that she was recently shown with a photo in the district's weekly newspaper because of her work as a midwife. Sommer seeks out her acquaintance Hans Schilling, who, as head director of a large theater, has trouble with the new director Susanne Bergmann, in order to find out the dialect of the caller together with him, but the caller cannot help her any further. Shortly afterwards, Lea Sommer receives another anonymous phone call from the stranger, who announces that he has found another victim. Since the previous victims were all depicted with articles in district newspapers before the crimes, Sommer's assistants Jens and Walter got the idea of ​​using a colleague as a decoy in this way. In the evening, the psychologist Cornelius Reusch, the friend of the new senior public prosecutor Dr. Jacobi, about the way, this one makes her advances that she rejects. On the same evening, Susanne Bergmann was murdered in the basement of her theater, the anonymous caller gave Sommer information about the crime scene, where the officers also found the body. Bergmann had been raped like the victims before, but this time no traces of semen were found in the corpse. Hans Schilling tells Sommer that he will temporarily take over the management of the house for the rest of the season, he does not have an alibi for the time of the crime.

With the help of a language expert, the officials find out that the dialect of the caller comes from the western Lake Constance area, and the decoy action proves to be a failure shortly afterwards. In the evening, Sommer is attacked by the stranger in her apartment, he mentions that there was a Greta and a Hanne in his life who are the reason for his misogyny, the perpetrator suggests that he has recently chosen a new victim from a magazine then he flees. Shortly afterwards, Jens informs Sommer that Schilling had worked in Konstanz for six years. Sommer rings his doorbell in vain. When he finally gets home, Sommer confronts him with her suspicions, but denies having anything to do with the murders and the nightly calls, but he has no alibi for the robbery. When the situation between summer and Schilling threatens to escalate, Jens calls her and announces the successful arrest of the perpetrator through the decoy action. The suspect Walter Klaffki finally confesses to two murders, he protests that he has not committed any further acts. Jacobi that the public will initially not be informed. In the process, Sommer happened to witness a telephone dispute between Dr. Jacobi and her friend Reusch, who is at various specialist conferences. Sommer pricks up his ears and instructs her assistants to check whether the specialist conferences mentioned by Reusch have taken place, while at the same time allowing Schilling's past to shine further. The conferences at the time of the first two murders took place, but without Reusch as a participant, the conferences this week are fictitious, at the Schauspielhaus Zurich, where Schilling was once engaged, a Greta worked as an actress and a Hanne as a make-up artist at the same time . Shortly thereafter, Sommer receives confirmation from another threatening phone call that the perpetrator is still free, Sommer seeks Reusch and asks him why he is making the calls, he denies everything and confidently predicts that she will fail on this case.

Sommer rushes to Dr. Jacobi and informs her of her suspicion that she might be the next victim, Reusch does not mention her. A masked man enters the house of Dr. Jacobi, he attacks Sommer, who is currently on the phone with the make-up artist at the Zurich Schauspielhaus, with a stun gun and takes the two women prisoner. Sommer assures him that she has just found out that the real name of the actress Greta Rudolphi, who worked there, was Risterer, Dr. Risterer then takes off his mask. His mother had started a relationship with the makeup artist and stopped paying attention to her son, sending him to boarding school. Also, the fact that he imitated the dialect of the beloved did not bring him the affection, but only the mockery of the mother. When Dr. Jacobi recently became the senior public prosecutor in his place, the hatred from then came back to him. When he happened to be able to prevent the murder with the stun gun, he had the idea to hire Dr. To kill Jacobi like that, he killed Bergmann because she was the director of the theater that he hated. Sommer provokes Dr. Risterer with a nursery rhyme from his home region, so he shoots the ground to silence her. When Sommer tries to overpower him, she is shot in the leg. Risterer that the two women would be considered a failure because they could not arrest him and shoots himself.
