- Munich police stop a speeding sports car and find a diplomat's son in the driver's seat and a corpse in the passenger's. Batic and Leitmayr investigate.
- Nasir al Yasaf, the fifth son of the Emir of Kumar, leads a glamorous life in Munich. Protected by his diplomatic status, the young man takes all his liberties: fast cars, lavish parties, drugs. And the police stand by and do nothing. When Nasir's expensive sports car races through Munich again, ignoring every red light and can only be stopped by a police barrier, the body of his friend Karim is found in the passenger seat. Batic and Leitmayr are supposed to solve Karim's murder, but their hands are tied in their investigation. You're not allowed to do anything. Don't even question Nasir as the main suspect if he doesn't want to. Let alone have the car inspected by the police. As a diplomatic vehicle, the location where the body was found is extraterritorial territory. Batic rages, Leitmayr calls for "diplomatic" action. But to their surprise, the Emir's son cooperates. Together with Kumar's consul general, Abdel Saleh, he takes them to the place where Karim was shot and where he allegedly loaded his friend's body into the car to drive him to the hospital as quickly as possible. Karim was shot in front of the house where the student Michaela Scheffner lives. She had a secret love affair with Karim and apparently knows more than she reveals. The role of Consul General Saleh also remains unclear. Is he really interested in helping the German authorities solve the case? Or is he pursuing his own interests? As evidence mounts that the young Arab's death could be related to illegal business, the case takes on a new dimension. The trail leads to State Secretary Baum, a hothead who hopes for career opportunities, in the Bavarian Ministry of Economic Affairs. Batic and Leitmayr get caught in the fire between politics, justice and business. When the prince's chauffeur confesses to the crime, which allegedly involved drugs and debts, the case seems solved, at least for senior public prosecutor Kysela. But Batic and Leitmayr don't believe in it. They think the chauffeur is a pawn and fight stubbornly to bring the real culprits to light.—ADR Das Erste
