action
Stefanie Brückner, the child was cut out of the belly. Her husband finds her covered in blood in the bathtub of her house.
The woman survived seriously injured and her condition is critical. It turns out that the woman was anesthetized with chloroform and the child was then separated out with a kind of caesarean section with a scalpel that had also been left behind at the scene. The child could have survived the act.
The child is found to have had a condition called FAIT, in which the mother makes antibodies against the child's blood, which can lead to cerebral haemorrhage and death in the child. The child has already been treated in the womb with a new type of treatment; if the child is still alive, it has a maximum of two days of survival without further medical care.
First, Borowski and his team investigate a woman who has already kidnapped a newborn baby and made further kidnapping attempts, but she turns out to be innocent.
Meanwhile, Borowski's daughter asks her father to sign the consent that she may attend the confirmation class. Her mother refused to sign her. Her father also refuses to sign her, which she is deeply offended because she is looking for religious orientation. She accuses her father that just because he has lost his faith himself, he refuses hers as well.
Meanwhile, Borowski's assistant Alim Zainalow is arrested on suspicion of supporting an Islamist terrorist organization. He is said to have transferred money to an Islamist association. A man from the vicinity of a Kiel mosque reported Zainalow to the LKA, shortly afterwards this witness went into hiding. While Borowski's superior Roland Schladitz is convinced of Zainalow's innocence, Borowski has doubts because he saw Zailanow come out of a mosque for the first time the day before and noticed that he had apparently become religious lately.
Finally, based on a phantom, it is possible to identify Liliane Marquardt as the kidnapper. Her husband had been a sailor for the last four months, so that she could give him the pregnancy a. a. could pretend using fake ultrasound photos. When the police finally stormed the apartment, the husband had just found out that the child was kidnapped, not hers, so Liliane Marquardt, shortly before the police arrived, said “Nobody will take my child away from me, including you ! ”Slightly injured with a kitchen knife.
The child is rescued and taken to hospital, Liliane Marquardt arrested. She remains firmly convinced that it is her child.
Zainalow explains the transfers as payments due to the death of his grandmother, for whose celebrations and funeral expenses he would have transferred money. He explains that the payments went to an Islamist group by saying that his password had been hacked, but Borowski does not believe him.
Shortly afterwards, Prof. Sonneborn, the doctor who treated the newborn, is murdered in his clinic.
A questioning of Liliane Marquardt's husband reveals that Liliane Marquardt was really pregnant, but Prof. Sonneborn made him put pressure on his wife to abort their child because it would have been terminally ill.
Further investigations by Borowski reveal that tissue was removed from Liliane Marquardt's aborted fetus in the Sonneborn clinic in order to treat Stefanie Brückner's fetus. Borowski then arrests the attending doctor in the Sonneborn clinic, as he suspects her to have murdered her boss in order not to endanger her treatment methods. She is also accused of violating the Embryo Protection Act.
However, it turns out that Olaf Brückner, Stefanie's husband, killed Prof. Sonneborn because he did not want treatments like this that had ultimately driven Mrs. Marquardt insane and thus almost led to the death of his wife, to continue would.
Meanwhile, the informant who denounced Alim Zainalov is found. He had reported this because religious fanatics in the mosque had forced him to do so after they found out that Zainalov was a police officer and they therefore believed him to be a spy. The informant is placed on a witness protection program while Zainalov is released from custody and can return to his desk.
When Borowski wants to toast the end of the investigation against him with him, he meets him as he is clearing his desk. He is too deeply offended that Borowski had not trusted him and has applied for a transfer. Since he still has enough remaining vacation, he says goodbye to the Borowski team forever.
In the end, Borowski finds a message from his daughter on the answering machine at home that she is back with her mother and does not want to be called by him. Borowski then bursts into tears.

Reviews
“Borowski is a lot: tough, indomitable, distant and ironic - there is only one thing he is not: friendly. Even thrown compliments to the address of the adored and beloved psychologist Frieda Jung (Maren Eggert) sound like read standard expressions from a guidebook “Flirting for Beginners”. Orkun Ertener (book) and Hannu Salonen (director) create a character with Borowski who not only arouses reluctance but also a deep longing in the audience - the longing that this person could take off his armor.
