action
Wilsberg meets his childhood sweetheart Katharina. But she now has two children, Lars and Alena, and is happily married to Matthias. Together with Manni, Wilsberg goes to a bar with Katharina and Matthias to play billiards together. Katharina is the first to leave the group, Manni follows her. Finally Matthias moves on too. On the street in front of the door of the pub, Wilsberg finds Katharina's scarf and decides to follow Matthias to give him the scarf. Wilsberg finds out that Matthias is going to a pub to meet the student employee Nana.
Wilsberg decides not to help the marriage of Katharina and Matthias, which now appears to him in a different light, and instead to conceal his observations from both of them. The next day, Wilsberg receives a call from Nana, who leads him to Lilly, Nana and Jens' shared flat. The students who run a brothel in their apartment have been receiving threatening phone calls for some time. Nana suspects that it is one of her suitors , Matthias, who uses a voice distortion device on his phone calls to make her quit her trade out of jealousy. Wilsberg then observes Matthias, observes him in an intimate moment with Nana in the city library and follows him to Alten Steinweg, where he sees him on a phone call on a public payphone . To check his suspicion that Matthias had spoken on the girls' answering machine again , he drives to their apartment. Because nobody opens the door for him, he gains access to the apartment on his own. In the kitchen he finds Lilly lying in a pool of blood that oozes from her skull. Nana crouches in a corner of the next room and is completely blown away. Wilsberg then calls Commissioner Anna Springer to report the student's death. Before Springer arrives, Jens returns and finds his dead girlfriend in the kitchen.
Wilsberg suspects that the fatal attack was actually aimed at Nana, as Lilly wore a wig at the time of her death to represent Nana with her client. Nana, in turn, is of the opinion that Matthias is the culprit because he wants to prevent Nana from moving to the country with Jens and Lilly, where Lilly has already chosen a remote house far away from the Westphalia metropolis and made plans for the three friends to move together . When Matthias was attacked with a knife one evening in the back yard of the pub where Nana works, Wilsberg picks up another trail. He insinuates Jens that he could have killed Lilly out of jealousy.
Manni is now pursuing his own investigations to protect the interests of the city of Münster. He suspects that the city is losing heavy tax revenues because this would not prevent uncontrolled prostitution. After an initial conversation with Nana, he later meets with Jens, from whom he learns that he is planning to open a brothel under the name Chez Fritz at the train station with his and Lilly's assets .
During another visit to the shared apartment, Wilsberg discovers that visitors are taking photos of the apartment opposite. In one of the pictures, Wilsberg recognizes his childhood sweetheart Katharina. He confronts them with his discovery. She then confronts Wilsberg with the fact that she had known about her husband's affairs for a long time, but had not yet lost hope that her husband could choose her and their children again.
Jens pays Matthias a visit to his second home, which he rented for meeting Nana. He overpowers Matthias and tries at gunpoint to force him to swallow a fatal overdose of sleeping pills to make death look like suicide. At the last moment Wilsberg appears, who can disarm Jens. Nana takes the weapon and points it at Matthias. Jens confesses his love to Nana and can get her not to kill Matthias.
It turns out that Lilly had entrusted her fortune to Matthias. Matthias had invested this in highly speculative business and lost it in the process. While Lilly was planning to buy a house in the country, Jens wanted to use this money to open a brothel in Münster. During an argument in the kitchen, there was a scuffle between Lilly and Jens, in which Jens pushed the girl away and she hit her head on the kitchen counter.
Jens is led away by Anna Springer's police. Wilsberg recommends Nana, in his opinion, the best lawyer in Munster to represent Jens in court if it really should have been an accident.
Katharina separates from Matthias and moves with her children to her brother.
