action

In the morgue , Chief Detective Schimanski showed Frau Krage the body of a man who had papers in the name of her husband found. The soles of the man's feet were burned and he was hung by a rope in a cupboard, but Ms. Krage identifies him as unknown to her. At the scene of the crime, a picture leads Schimanski and his colleague Thanner to the harness racing track in Dinslaken . There they learn that Krage had been friends with a Kalle Schlumm since childhood. When they ring Krages' doorbell, the real Krage opens the door for them. The unsuccessful painter claims to have kept secrets from his wife and to have lent Schlumm his papers as a favor. He spent the last week on a diving course at Timmendorfer Strand . Schimanski observes Krage in front of the apartment and follows him on a bicycle to a pub. There Krage meets with Fritz Hentschel. Both drive to another place where the pursuer Schimanski is knocked down by an unknown person. Two policemen take him to the police station to sober him up, believing they have found a drunk.

The next day, Krage lies dead in diving equipment on the banks of the Ruhr while a white Volvo is lifted out of the water. Since the Volvo was recently used in a bank robbery, Councilor Kissling Schimanski and Thanner shows the bank surveillance video. Kissling assumes that Kalle Schlumm was one of the perpetrators and, because of his sole attempt to escape with the money, disappeared without the accomplices. He was killed on this occasion. Since he had told his friend Krage about where the car with the money was sunk, he too had to dive for the loot first and then die.

When Schimanski and Thanner want to visit Frau Krage, she is not present. When she appears a short time later, Schimanski has to single-handedly protect her from the emerging Henschel and shoots him in the shoulder. Due to a technical error during the emergency operation, Henschel falls into a coma and can no longer be heard. Mrs. Krage has now confessed and admits that she knew about Schlumm's loot and that she and her husband had a plan to keep the money for themselves. Nevertheless, Henschel put pressure on both of them. A telephone number on a drawing by Henschel reveals to the officers the hiding place of the gang, the last member of which escaped and Schimanski threatened retaliation with tapes.

To Schimanski's surprise, his apartment lock has been replaced. Kissling has the apartment examined as it is believed that the third perpetrator learned everything about the detective. So Schimanski stays in the hour hotel "Ideal", where Thanner checks a guest named Schwarz, a representative from Hagen , without any result. In addition, Schimanski's Dutch colleague Hänschen is put to one side to take care of him. Together with him, Schimanski visits Henschel's father in Erkelenz . While he is talking to the man alone, Hans is drugged by the stranger in the car. Kissling suggests that Schimanski take a vacation, which he refuses with thanks.

When Schimanski visits his admirer Marion, he finds out that she has visitors. After a back tour he sees suddenly as Marion beaten bloody by a ambulance is brought to the hospital. To be on the safe side, Schimanski spent the night at the station. Since Kissling suspects that Schimanski does not want to evade the invisible opponent, but wants to face it openly, he equips Schimanski's jacket with a tracking device in an unobserved moment . Through a hint from Hänschen, Schimanski discovers the transmitter, sticks it to a taxi with a piece of chewing gum and lets Kissling's monitoring of his person come to nothing. The inspector walks aimlessly through Duisburg's city center, but there is no encounter with the opponent. Meanwhile, Thanner has discovered a woman through an informant who has a friend who matches the perpetrator profile of the third stranger. During the visit to her apartment, he recognizes the representative Schwarz from the hotel in a photo. Schimanski meanwhile returns to the "ideal" and helps the allegedly drunk black into his room. After freshening up, he discovers Schwarz apparently tied up on his bed. He overwhelms him with anesthetic spray and tries to strangle him in a closet like Kalle Schlumm did. But Hänschen and Thanner storm the room in time and overwhelm Schwarz.

background
