His mother, Nele, confronts him about it, which is met with utter incomprehension from Noah and Grandma Mechthild. But Nele is also dealing with a strange case this time. A dead man, a groom, was found on the shore of Lake Constance, murdered on the happiest night of his life. This Konrad Ferch had been harassed at his wedding by the drunken boatbuilder André Pohl because he hadn't paid for the wedding gift, an expensive motorboat. Is that a motive for murder, even if Pohl is desperate to burn down his shipyard? During the investigation, Nele and Pirmin Spitznagel, who is trying to impress a waitress, come across pictures showing the bride, Anne Ferch, looking strangely tense and sad. She certainly doesn't look happy. Nele and Andreas Rambach are baffled for a long time. The statement from old Mrs. Stickel makes it clear to them that Ferch was still alive after Pohl's attack. But a phantom from Anne's past reappears. Her ex, Martin Höfer, was declared dead two years ago after an accident on his sailboat. Now he has very earthly motives for his return. Nele and her colleagues realize almost too late what's really going on. With the help of their Swiss colleague, Captain Aubry, they manage to stop the fugitive Höfer with the unconscious Anne and a bag full of money on board. The case seems solved. But Höfer denies the murder. The investigators must have overlooked something... Meanwhile, Aubry makes a move on Nele. Will she open herself up to a new love? Written by ARD Das Erste See less
