- Not everyone deserves a second chance. The experienced investigator Wallat is sure of that - and certainly not the child murderer Hagenow, who is released after 15 years in prison, although he is still considered dangerous. Wallat takes over the management of an LKA team that monitors the potential repeat offender. His "unofficial" assignment does not fit into any service manual: Wallat is supposed to catch Hagenow in the act - in good time, of course - in order to put him behind bars forever. Meanwhile, the ex-convict moves into a room in the house of the idealistic village pastor Berkenbusch and starts a job at the local sawmill. The LKA team serves him around the clock. When Wallat loses sight of him during a night walk, a nightmare begins the next morning: Max, the eight-year-old son of Berkenbusch's housekeeper, has disappeared without a trace. Wallat and his colleague Lisa are ready to touch Hagenow harder from the start. Her colleague Eric, who was there 15 years ago, insists on compliance with the service regulations. After all, it could have been someone else. For Wallat, however, there is no doubt. He suspects the boy is still alive, but has little time to save him.

- Baker Schmidt quickly returns home from the pub after an urgent phone call from his wife, who has discovered burglars in the house. But he arrives only to find her dead - murdered. He suspects that the case might be related to a series of burglaries in the neighbourhood. Kriminalkommissar Nagel starts being suspicious about Schmidt when he learns that the latter has an affair with his former employee, Anni Klein. Single mother Klein has to submit to lengthy questioning by the police, but denies any knowledge about the crime. And Schmidt's alibi seems iron-clad, seeing that he was in a pub surrounded by people who knew him. Meanwhile, the burglary series is solved, the perpetrators denying vigourously any connection to the murder. Because nothing had been stolen from the bakery, Nagel is bent to believe them. Little does he know that the lover of Schmidt's neighbour, Ms. Scherzer, could throw light on the case, because he has seen Wilhelm Fink leaving the house that evening - but, being a politician and married on top, he fears for his reputation. Finally the police receives an anonymous tip about Fink, and he admits to having had an affair with Mrs. Schmidt. As was his wont, he had awaited her husbands departure on that evening and then entered the house with his own key - only to find her dead. This information finally shatters Schmidt's alibi, and he admits to the murder.
