Borowski - 01 - Väter

Not a particularly good day for Chief Inspector Borowski: the witness Scharndorf, a respected local authority, does not want to testify in a murder case so as not to jeopardize his reputation. When Borowski chained him up naked on the roof of a brothel to help him over the shame limit, it almost got him suspended, but at least it got him a few hours with the industrial psychologist Frieda Jung. On top of that, his daughter Carla shows up, who under no circumstances wants to travel with her mother and her new lover. But these are nothing compared to the final change that another person is heading for at this time: Lars Betz, divorced, one son, former seaman, now driver for a ship chandler, will lose his job, according to his boss, if he on that day is not on time.
That would be a loss too many for the unstable man. Betz gets caught in a speed trap and is flashed. That too can cost him his job. He asks the policeman Ebert to release the film - which he refuses. Betz rushes off, but Ebert follows him and dies under a truck. Betz flees. It is not a difficult investigation that leads Borowski and his assistant Alim Zainalow to the company of Betz's employer. But Betz cannot be seen in the photo. And actually it wasn't his tour. His boss Oliver Nagel should drive it. That's what Wächter says, Betz' second boss. A brief reprieve for Betz to say goodbye to his child. Who knows what's in store for him now. But Nagel will no longer be able to clear up the error. His body is found in the Timber Harbor.
Things could end lightly for Betz, but even his chief guardian doesn't want to cover for a murderer. Betz is arrested, the "cop killer". When Borowski continues to investigate, he earns the frustration and anger of his colleagues. Why does he think the cop killer is innocent? "And when," asks Borowski back, "did Ziehmann find out that we were looking for Nagel?" There are more questions. Why was Nagel, for example, at Scharndorf the day before? And did his companion, Warden, know about it? As the clues piled up, Betz suddenly confessed. Yes, he killed Nagel. But Borowski has long recognized that Betz is someone who needs to be saved from himself.
