- Private detective Ferdinand Zankl is suspected of murdering his ex-girlfriend, the shelter manager Nunzia Rossi. He is arrested by the Passau police. At this point, of all times, Zankl is under great pressure to act because of another matter. The media had reported that excavation work was taking place in the Bavarian Forest to find relics from Roman times. Since Zankl buried the body of an Arab contract killer there last winter to protect Frederike Bader, he urgently needs to prevent the excavation team from coming across the body he has buried.

Although Frederike never wants to have anything to do with Zankl again after what happened a few months ago, she accepts this deal to protect her daughter. Because Zankl is putting Frederike under pressure that he has information about her safety in witness protection. He only wants to give this to her if she helps him. She starts the investigation.

In a comparison with Zankl, Kaiser says that he also saw the private detective at the crime scene at the time of the crime. Since Zankl still has a clear relationship motive for the murder of Nunzia Rossi, he remains in custody. The Chief Inspector Grill and her colleague Piontek are delighted, because in secret, Grill would like to convict Zankl in order to score points in her new position. Frederike's first investigations thus prove to be a huge blow. Meanwhile, the archaeologists from the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation are approaching the place where Ferdinand Zankl buried the hit man Ahmed Bahdari - side by side with the remains of a Roman legionnaire. At the same time, Frederike comes across a second, promising lead in the murder of Nunzia Rossi on the farm of the popular Passau pop singer Ilka Unseld.
