action
Klaus Borowski is called to the port. Anglers have discovered a driverless boat far out and towed it ashore. Borowski finds some things on board and Silke Rohwedder's ID. He fears that she has taken her own life. Neighbors report that Silke had a boyfriend for some time. In their house, however, there is no reference to a man, the building also looks freshly cleaned and in fact no fingerprints can be found. Borowski finds out that Silke was with her family doctor the day before she disappeared. The confirms that Silke was pregnant. Borowski learns from Silke's mother Cora that on the day she disappeared, Silke wanted to share the news with her friend Sandor Kovac, who allegedly worked for the secret service. Borowski couldn't find a man with this name in the secret service and turned to a Kovac watch shop. There was a Sandor Kovac here, but he died in a car accident. In connection with this, his papers were also stolen. Borowski is certain that Silke's friend has built a new or double identity with the papers. The role of Silke's sister Maxie, who is mentally unstable, is unclear. She has lived with Silke since her father's suicide, but she also had her own apartment, which Silke financed. Shortly after Silke's disappearance, she let herself be beaten up in a bar and Borowski suspects that it was a form of self-punishment.
Since the search for Silke's corpse remains unsuccessful at sea, Borowski takes another look at Silke's house. He finds a spade with fresh earth in the extension and while digging up the garden, he finally finds Silke's corpse. The autopsy reveals that she was stabbed. Meanwhile, Maxie has met with Kovac. She knows about his double life and wants to extort 10,000 euros from him so that she can keep her mouth shut. Kovac is married and his daughter died in an accident. The next morning Maxie learns from the newspaper that Silke's body has been found. She escapes from the summer house in which she was staying with Kovac. Borowski is still looking for Kovac and asks the colleagues who recorded the accident of the real Kovac at the time. Claes Möller is missing from the questioning, who can finally be identified by neighbors as the wrong Kovac they are looking for. Möller is arrested, but remains silent during interrogation. Maxie secretly watched his arrest and is therefore all the more appalled when Möller is allowed to leave the police building again after the interrogation. In front of Borowski, she says that he is her sister's murderer. To increase the pressure, Borowski has Möller's house guarded. He writes down a confession and throws it into Borowski's car before fleeing to the harbor. In the letter he indicates that he wants to kill himself. At the port he is stopped by Maxie, who threatens him with a knife. Borowski prevents Maxie from murdering and at the same time finds out at the harbor that Möller made up the confession. In it he wrote that he had met Silke at home. However, she had already learned the truth about Möller from Maxie that day and drove angrily to his wife. It was not Möller who killed Silke, but his wife. It must have been particularly painful that Silke reported about her pregnancy: Möller had caused the death of his daughter Jule by carelessness. Möller drives back home, where he finds his wife dead: she has cut her wrists with a razor blade. Borowski again arrives when Möller is about to shoot himself. It is Maxie who can dissuade him from suicide because she is almost the age of his dead daughter.
