action

Hooded men in a car break a dealer, the surveillance cameras to spray and bring a graffito on: "Hands off the glass house", while at the same time Stefan Dehler for his youth center founded by honorable citizens vigilante fights. He has to defend himself against allegations that connect a rape with his youth center "Glashaus". Heike Hellwig and Gerd Brehm, who are on patrol at night, are made aware of dark figures by a nurse. They panic trying to short-circuit a car. Before further help arrives from the vigilante group, they finally start the car and pile up. Several vigilante vehicles can take up the chase. After a rapid hunt, the driver of the getaway vehicle loses control, the vehicle breaks away and remains lying down after rolling over several times. The spokesman gets out relatively unharmed and sees the motionless passengers with horror. He hides in the bushes and watches as the vigilante group determines the death of his buddies and then runs away because they themselves have to face the consequences. By chance, Chief Inspector Inga Lürsen walks past the scene of the accident in carnival costume and sees purposefully that this is not just about an accident involving crash kids , as her police officer Jan Hellwig wants to make us believe. Those involved in the vigilante can be changed despite scruples by Richard Wohlers and hold tight. When Marco Groszek, the only surviving graffiti sprayer, arrives home covered in blood, his father throws him out of the apartment.

According to the KHK Lürsen, the forensic investigation (KTU) found four different types of blood in three dead people, so there must have been a witness. The three dead are said to have frequented the “glass house”. And Commissioner Tobias von Sachsen can also provide a clue: the accident vehicle was reported as stolen by Lothar Seiler. Marco Groszek accuses him of murder, and clever as he is, he has secured the fender of the pursuit vehicle because he is employed in the car workshop. In the evening during the investigation in the “glass house”, Lürsen surprisingly meets her daughter Helen, who is friends with Marco Groszek. He has several entries in the police criminal record for property damage. The rape and subsequent suicide of 15-year-old Wiebke Hellwig - the daughter of the two police officers - is also recorded in the police records.

After a restless night with Helen in the old cement factory, Marco Groszek lets himself be lured to an abandoned railway site, where he falls backwards over the corpse of Lothar Seiler, which Richard Wohlers left there after Seiler fell unhappy. As if by chance, Heike Hellwig arrives and sees the bloody corpse of Lothar Seiler with horror. Marco Groszek wants to leave his hiding place during the police investigation, but is discovered by von Sachsen. During the pursuit, he loses his service weapon and then Groszek too. On the way to his hiding place, he is recognized by Gerd Brehm, who is preparing the demolition of the old cement factory and promptly alerts the vigilante group. Richard Wohlers now has a scapegoat, whom he can blame not only for killing Seiler, but also for rape. Specifically, Groszek takes Helen hostage , who can briefly report to her mother. In the dramatic showdown , the inspectors can convince Heike Hellwig that Wohlers manipulated and that a foreign sales representative was the rapist.
