Detective sergeant Reto Carlucci is entrusted with the investigation, Katharina Matz can recognize Thomas on a photo in the suspect's file, but when comparing him, he shows his parents' housekeeper as an alibi, because he comes from a good family and Katharina is not one hundred percent sure she can Attorney for the von Bürer family, Allenspach, to prevent the arrest of his client. Shortly afterwards, Thomas talks to his comrades about Katharina and instructs them that they have to intimidate Katharina so that she does not identify the others. When Carlucci wants to see Katharina that evening, she doesn't open the door for him, instead, disappointed by the police's lack of success in the investigation, she goes on her own and shadows Thomas in order to get to the group.

Shortly thereafter, Katharina found an anonymous death threat in the mailbox, when Carlucci later came to her and finally got her to talk to him, she flushed the threatening letter down the toilet. She finally tells him about her research and the photos she took, but the film has disappeared from the glove compartment of her car. When she tells Carlucci that someone must have been in her apartment and stolen the car key for a short time, he doesn't believe her and thinks she is too nervous. After Carlucci says goodbye, Katharina meets her caretaker in the hallway, it's Toni Effinger. He gives her condolences, she senses that he could have been in her apartment. The intimidations increase in the next few days, Katharina is attacked at the university and her bird is dead in the mailbox, at the same time the married Effinger makes advances to her. Carlucci finds Katharina, completely dissolved, and now she believes that someone was in her apartment. Katharina tells Carlucci that only Effinger has a key to her apartment and knows her daily routine, he was also in the Foreign Legion and was also involved in other right-wing activities. Carlucci checks Effinger for criminal records with no results, shortly afterwards he discovers that the bird has disappeared from the mailbox and understands how well the right-wing extremists are organized. Effinger destroys the photos and negatives made by Katharina, then he and his people kidnap Katharina and intimidate her massively through psychological terror, but Effinger ultimately prevents rape by the skinheads.

Carlucci, who decides to infiltrate the right-wing radical scene, learns that Katharina was picked up half-naked on the outskirts and taken to a psychiatric hospital, from where she broke out. At home she armed herself with a knife and drove to Effinger's fishing hut. Carlucci follows her and can prevent her from going into Effinger's hut. Instead, Carlucci goes in and introduces himself to Effinger as a former Foreign Legionnaire. Since he has obtained information beforehand, Carlucci can report on alleged former comrades and thus gain his trust. Effinger invites him to a right-wing radical meeting and Carlucci then takes Katharina, who has remained unnoticed by Effinger, home. Katharina tells Carlucci that she recognized Effinger's hut from sounds. Carlucci and Katharina are able to convince the examining magistrate to support their undercover action. The next day, Carlucci and Katharina secretly observe the skinheads' military camp, and Katharina recognizes Peter there. In the evening Carlucci attends the meeting of Effinger's people, his colleagues secretly overhear.

At the station, Katharina recognizes Peter as one of the attackers, after Peter's alibi bursts, Peter flees and falls to his death.

Carlucci manages to impress Effinger so that he orders him to get rid of Katharina, he also gets Katharina to make herself available as a decoy.

In the evening, Carlucci tells Effinger that he knows where Katharina is hiding, but that he would need the help of Effinger and his people to kill Katharina in such a way that it looked like an accident. Thomas, who distrusts Carlucci, follows him in the evening in his apartment and discovers that Katharina is hiding with him. Thomas informs Effinger that the next day, when Carlucci, Effinger and his people chase Katharina to the weekend house where she is supposed to be the decoy, Effinger asks Carlucci a test question, which he cannot answer.
