action
In a supermarket, Ritter literally collides with the very attractive Kareen. They spontaneously arrange to meet in a club and also want to spend the night together. The next morning, Ritter wakes up dazed on the street when his phone rings. Stark summons him to a murder case on Bellevuestrasse. When he gets there, he has to find out that "his" Kareen is strangled in bed. Startled, he tries to remove any evidence that could point to him. Because of his constitution, he knows that someone must have put something in his drinking glass. But he does not talk to anyone about it, but goes alone in search of the truth. First he tries to find out the woman's full name in the supermarket. Since she paid there with an EC card, he succeeds and can also find out the address. There he investigates and meets Kareen's roommate Sarah. She is an actress, as is Kareen.
Felix Stark follows the traces of the victim's last night. He quickly finds the club in which Kareen was last seen. The barmaid remembers her male companion very well and Stark has a phantom picture made with her help. He immediately recognizes his colleague Ritter and steers the questioning of the witness in a different direction in order to protect Ritter. He tries to confront him, but Ritter says that he can't remember anything and that someone may want to pin something to him. Then they go together to the director Alexander Barold, for whom Kareen worked last. When he found out about her death, he blamed himself because the apartment in which she was found belongs to him and she should have got something for him there. That's why she had his apartment key. He denies a private relationship with the victim.
While Ritter is about to testify as a witness in a murder trial that involves the charges against Dr. Master leaves, who is said to have shot his wife and who was injured by knights, Stark goes to the victim's apartment. There he also meets roommate Sarah, who tells Stark that her friend occasionally worked as a decoy for an affair agency. The client would be a Leon Mickler. Stark makes an appointment with him, but that doesn't really help him in the search for the murderer. For a short time he even thinks Kareen's roommate Sarah is capable of killing her friend, after all she has now inherited her film role.
Since Ritter is now seriously under suspicion of murder, he asks Stark to come to the court hearing at which he is the only witness against Meister. The defense attorney tries to obtain an acquittal for her client and so the events surrounding Ritter come in very handy. It is clear to Ritter that Master is behind it in order to make him unbelievable as a witness.
Due to a positive DNA comparison from the crime scene, Ritter actually has to be taken into custody. There he meets Master, who greets him arrogantly and, while playing chess, makes it clear that there are always pawn sacrifices in life. Sometimes even two. His, Ritters, weakness for women would now have given him the opportunity to improve his situation.
After the trial, Stark is also convinced that Meister is behind the conspiracy. With the murder, he not only obtained his acquittal, but also took revenge on Ritter, as Master had suffered physical damage at the time. While he finds out that Mickler urgently needs a new kidney for himself and apparently gets it through Meister in return for the murder of Kareen, Ritter manages to escape from custody. Ritter and Stark are both on their way to Mickler, who escapes, however, and dies in the process. He can still make Ritter understand that he killed for Master Kareen, but this confession is of no use without witnesses. So the investigators go to Master’s residence, where he is alone with his defense attorney. She had overheard a conversation, after which she now had to doubt the innocence of her client. When she tried to confront him, he took control of her. Now he threatens to shoot her and the knight who has just arrived, but Stark manages to put Master out of action with a shot through a window.
