Three months after a bomb wrecked his bar, Niklas remains worried- sick about his disappeared mate, its owner Karl-Heinz "Carlo" Funke, son in no mood to help Mario plan his promotion celebration. Grün and Bannenberg are reluctant, failing proof, to press Heldt's theory Carlo's was burned like five other hospitality business by the local racketeers queen Sofia Cassano. The apparent latest victim, cafe keeper Klaus Risse, was brutally beaten into hospital by her thuggish henchmen Matteo and Angelo but dares not speak up, only his clueless wife Ilka spills the beans, so Ellen impersonates her as lure. Heldt, who pursues Carlo's case pseudo-officially, catches his mate in flagranti buying from a drug dealer, yet keeps quiet to his team, confiding only into Achmed but is soon seen trough. The team works out the embarrassing truth, also about Carlo's desperate action.
