action

In a Hamburg hospital, Sister Herta Kremer suspects that Dr. Zauner and Dr. Schneider give the elderly patients in their ward an untested drug. She therefore pretends to have dropped an ampoule with the active ingredient, whereupon Dr. Schneider gives a new ampoule, with the remark that she should be more careful, which she hides in a piece of candy in her locker. When one of Sister Herta's patients had unexpected bleeding and the doctors took care of the man in an emergency operation, Sister Herta took the opportunity to search the two doctors' desks. In doing so, she discovers a formula that is unknown to her, which she notes down and adds a question mark as to whether this is “rheumol”.

Despite all efforts, the patient of Zimmer 202 and Dr. Schneider reproaches Sister Herta for not taking sufficient care of the patients in this room. She strictly rejects this and says she will no longer put up with it. Dr. Zauner tries to comfort her, but her decision to go public with her suspicions is made. The two doctors suspect that their nurse wants to turn to Professor Wimmer and think about how they can prevent this. The next day she is found in front of her house after falling from the balcony. Stoever and Brockmöller have to clarify whether it was a suicide or a murder. The dead man's neighbor explains to the officers that the fun-loving woman has definitely not committed suicide. He knows of a former friend she would have worked with in the hospital. The investigators then question their work colleagues and come across the laboratory assistant, Ms. Brehm. She is shocked by the death of her friend and reports that Herta wanted to bring her an ampoule, the contents of which she should analyze. Stoever remembers the note he found in the victim's apartment. He then secures the contents of her locker and then meets Dr. Zauner, to whom he shows the slip of paper with the note. He fears that he will be discovered immediately and talks to his colleague, who says that he should enter the remedy "Rheumol" in all patient files in Room 202. Before he can do that, the professor requests exactly these documents and he has to hand them out uncorrected.

Stoever and Brockmöller interviewed Norbert Sasse, the work colleague with whom Herta Kremer was friends. He claims that she told him about the incidents on her ward. Patients experienced a brief improvement in their condition to the point of complete freedom from pain and shortly afterwards they died of heart failure. He also knows that Dr. Zauner is very likely involved. During the questioning, Meyer Zwo accidentally takes the victim's evidence from the candy bag and finds the ampoule. It is immediately sent to the laboratory for analysis and Sasse can walk again. He goes to the clinic and wants Dr. Confront Zauner. Since he was there first on Dr. When Schneider meets, he threatens her with a knife in his rage. Zauner wants to help her and hits Sasse so brutally that he dies of a broken skull. They secretly hide the body in the forensic medicine refrigerated area.

In the meantime, Stoever and Brockmöller have come up with a plan to investigate the clinic disguised as a patient and visitor. Brockmöller fakes a heart attack and goes to the emergency room. There he is led by Dr. Schneider received and, as hoped, hospitalized. Since she has only had anything to do with Stoever so far, she does not know his colleague and at first does not suspect anything. That changes when she catches Brockmöller sneaking through the hospital room and tampering with the medicine cabinet. Without further ado, she has him transferred to the psychiatric ward, where Stoever has to "free" him the next day.

The examination of the ampoule clearly shows that it is a new product that is manufactured by Zytox AG in Hamburg. There Stoever asked the managing director, who was astonished that his formula was already being used in practice. During the conversation it turns out that some time ago Dr. Schneider had worked there.

After reviewing the patient's records from Zimmer 202, Professor Wimmer had doubts and had a blood sample from the patient who had just died secured in forensic medicine. After examining it himself, he orders Dr. Zauner to himself and confronts him. He admits that he is testing a new drug. Whereupon the professor asks him to stop the test series immediately. Resigned, he talks to his colleague, who has already been dismissed without notice by chief doctor Wimmer.

Stoever asks Dr. She and Schneider testify that Zytox AG pressured her to test the drug. Which she cannot prove, but if her discovery were recognized, she believes it could help thousands of people. For that, she and Dr. Zauner secretly undertook her study and she suspects Dr. Zauner that he wants to kill the professor. Fortunately, Stoever was able to prevent this and then arrest Zauner. But in the end it turns out that Professor Wimmer had a relationship with Herta Kremer. She clung to him like that, which he didn't want. She really wanted to marry him, which he strictly refused because he was married. She would have climbed onto the railing of her balcony and then accidentally fell down. Out of consideration for his wife, who knew nothing about his affair, he would have kept the matter quiet.
