action

The 16-year-old Tini Wiegand, who lives at home with her family, is afraid of her father Achim. She runs away from him one evening when he knocks on her door again and drives off with her friend Ritchie. Meanwhile, Markowitz is expecting Willi, a gangster he has put behind bars, in front of the prison when he is released early. Markowitz brings him out of Berlin because his former accomplice, who betrayed him to the police at the time, wants to lure him into a deadly trap. Ritchie brings Tini home at the end of the evening, just before Achim Wiegand goes to his company. Achim is an engineer and maintains the machines there at night. Ritchie is also friends with Tini's brother Stefan, who tells him about his father's night shift. Despite Achim's ban, Ritchie spends the night at Tini's, the atmosphere in the Wiegand house is tense, the marriage between Achim and his wife Ingrid is about to end, but mother and daughter don't have much to say either. Tini would like best to go abroad with Ritchie, who has just turned professional footballer. Achim calls and wants Tini to come to him at the company, but her brother Stefan makes it clear to him that Tini will not come to him today. In addition, Stefan, who is doing his training in Hanover, wants to go back to Berlin, which his father does not want.

Stefan suspects that his sister is being sexually abused by her father, but she denies that Achim wanted to quote her to the company. Shortly afterwards, Stefan realizes that his sister has gone to see her father Achim at the company. Ritchie begins to suspect what is going on in this family. Together with Stefan he drives to Achim's company, Ingrid follows them. When Ritchie and Stefan arrive at the company, Tini runs towards them, her father wanted to hit her for Ritchie, but she ran away from her father, Stefan and Ritchie rush in and look for Achim. Shortly afterwards, Ingrid has meanwhile also arrived at the company, Achim is locked in the boiler of a machine and almost suffocated in it. Nobody in the family helps him. The gatekeeper saves him from suffocation in the last second, but he is critically injured. Markowitz is called to the crime scene and finds a button in the kettle. Markowitz finds Wiegand's office strangely dimmed, the porter tells him that it was completely normal for Wiegand to work so late, he always checked the boiler for gas residues at night. Wiegand's condition is critical. Markowitz visits the Wiegand family, all claiming that they had not been to the company and that Achim only had an accident. Shortly after Markowitz left, Ritchie arrives, Stefan tells him that Achim survived, but assures him that he is dying, Ritchie is visibly nervous.

Markowitz meets Ritchie in front of the house, who claims to be a friend of Stefan's, but is otherwise taciturn. When Markowitz shows up at Ritchie's training, he notices Tini and registers that the two are a couple. In the hospital, Markowitz meets Achim's family at the bedside, noticing a strange ambivalence in Tini's behavior towards her father. When Markowitz asks Achim Wiegand, he refuses to tell him who slammed the boiler door behind him. Stefan and Tini reproach their mother for wanting to tell Markowitz everything. After all, she had been silent about what was going on in the family all these years, and now that Achim was finally gone she suddenly wanted to tell the truth. Meanwhile, Achim Wiegand switched off the life-support devices independently and died. In the hospital, Markowitz discovers that there is no button missing on Achim's jacket. In a letter Achim wrote, Markowitz finds further indications that Wiegand abused his daughter. The laboratory informs Markowitz that Achim must have had sexual intercourse in his office shortly before the incident. When he then wanted to question Ingrid Wiegand again, he found her dead in her house; she took her own life with pills.

In Achim's desk drawer, Markowitz finds further clues to the obsession he had had with his daughter. When Markowitz informs his daughter, who is in a strangely happy mood because of the death of her father, about the death of her mother, she collapses. She feels guilty for her mother's death when Markowitz asks her about the abuse, blocks her and she is taken to a psychiatric hospital. Markowitz seeks out Stefan, who accuses Markowitz of driving his mother to her death, he warns Markowitz not to bother Tini. Ritchie seeks Tini at the clinic and implores her to go abroad with him as she wanted. When he sees Markowitz, he hides and asks Tini to send him away and not tell him anything. Tini claims to have been sexually abused by her father since she was 14. Your mother and later Stefan would have known about it. She claims that she killed her father and that her mother helped her. As he walks, Markowitz notices that Ritchie is in the clinic. When Ritchie and Tini want to flee the clinic, Markowitz confronts them, he notices the missing button on his jacket. He confronts him with the fact that he has found the lost button in the cauldron, and Ritchie flees. Tini repeats to Markowitz that she killed her father. Ritchie manages to run onto a bridge and toss the jacket on a freight train to destroy the evidence before Markowitz can bring it.

Markowitz confronts him with the fact that Tini has confessed to the fact, and Ritchie confesses. He describes how the fight between the two came about at the company. He pushed Wiegand into the cauldron to punish him, but did not want to kill him. He cannot have closed the second hatch of the cauldron, however, he still claims to have acted alone. Ritchie wanted to open the hatch again, but he had to bring Tini home first. When he returned, the police were already at the scene. Tini also confesses the act again. When Markowitz visits Stefan again, he is already on his way to confess the act. He also claims to have acted alone. Markowitz realizes that the young people had no other choice and discreetly disappears the evidence. There are no charges against the three young people.
