action

The remand Tomi Selzer and Suk Artun take the correctional officers Günther Wörle man as hostage and force his colleagues Rudi Jacob, to open them the main gate of the prison. In front of the gate they let go of Wörlemann and the two prisoners flee. Although they stop after a warning shot by Jakobs, Jakobs shoots Artun, Selzer escapes. The next morning, Rudi Jakobs reported to Haferkamp and the public prosecutor that the refugees had not responded to his call and that he merely shot to make the prisoners unable to escape. Haferkamp has now determined that the evidence in the investigation into the gas station robbery that had put Selzer in custody is extremely thin. Wörlemann, on the other hand, states that Jakobs shot after Artun surrendered and called out that Jakobs should not shoot. Due to the explosive nature of the case, the prosecutor warned Haferkamp that Selzer had to be found quickly, as he was now an important witness. Haferkamp tries to get ahead in the Selzer case, but the investigation is slow. Sisi Feldmann, Selzer's fiancée, visits Haferkamp and assures him that Selzer has nothing to do with the robbery at the gas station. His ex-girlfriend charged him out of revenge. Haferkamp urges her to tell him where he is, but he fails to win her trust.

Tomi Selzer seeks out his ex-girlfriend Birgit Illich, who promptly informs the police before she meets with him. She admits to him that she incriminated him against her better judgment because she had waited a long time for his release from prison because of his previous conviction and stood by him, but he had separated from her. Selzer objects that she ordered him around and that he therefore separated from her. He urges her to drop the false testimony against him and give him the alibi he actually had. She promises to correct her statement when he returns to her, but when he realizes that she has called the police, he flees. She then told Haferkamp that Selzer wanted to kill her. Meanwhile, Wörlemann senses the disregard of his colleagues; some try to get him to retract his testimony. Meanwhile, Jakobs finds himself exposed to hostility from the prisoners. Meanwhile, Haferkamp and Kreutzer discover that the tracks left by Selzer's moped do not match those found at the crime scene. When Haferkamp visits Birgit Illich in the hospital, he comes to the conclusion that Illich is intent on incriminating Selzer. He urges her to tell the truth, but she's just trying to incriminate him.

Jakobs, who suspects a conspiracy against himself, receives an anonymous death threat, and the press is also campaigning against Jakobs. Haferkamp, ​​meanwhile, speculates that Jakobs, who never wears his glasses on duty, has impaired vision. Sisi secretly meets with Tomi Selzer and urges him to confide in Haferkamp, ​​then she seeks him out and arranges a meeting between Haferkamp and Selzer. On the way to the meeting, however, Haferkamp notifies his colleagues. He doesn't notice that Selzer is already in the car with him. This threatens him with a weapon and directs him away from the meeting point. Haferkamp makes it clear to him that he is no longer suspicious of the robbery at the gas station. The police were able to determine that Birgit had wrongly incriminated him. However, he refuses to come with Haferkamp and to answer for the hostage-taking. When Tomi notices Haferkamp's colleague, he jumps out of the car and is able to escape.

After another attack was carried out on Jakobs' house, which is now under police protection, Kreutzer and some officers go to the living quarters of Artun Suk's compatriots and find photos of Selzer for whom they want to get a false passport. Meanwhile, Jakobs confesses to his wife that he shot Suk Artun, although he had already surrendered. He just hadn't switched fast enough because of his blood pressure and the excitement about filing a voluntary report, but his wife stopped him. Shortly afterwards, Tomi Selzer's former company, where Birgit Illich also works, is broken into and a security guard is gunned down. The description of the perpetrator matches Tomi Selzer. Haferkamp and Kreutzer know from the Turkish workers that Tomi needs money for his false passport. Birgit Illich gives the officials a tip for a possible hiding place for Tomi Selzer, who once described a disused mine as the ideal hiding place.

The officers find Tomi in the former colliery. Tomi flees to the roof of the building and draws his gun. Despite Haferkamp's efforts to negotiate with him, Haferkamp fled and fell to his death. With Selzer's death, Artun's killing can no longer be clarified, Haferkamp reluctantly closes the file, but then Jakobs comes to him despite the termination of the investigation and wants to file a voluntary report for negligent homicide . Meanwhile it turns out that it was not Selzer, but another, so far unknown perpetrator who broke into the former Selzer company and fired the shot at the security guard, so the shot can be determined too much for Haferkamp and Kreutzer.
