After robbing a gold transport, the perpetrators flee across Lake Constance. When their boat's engine fails, Tamara Sedlak and her boyfriend Antonio Krusewitz hijack Frederik Schick's boat. When he resists, a shot is fired from Antonio's gun.

The gasping emergency call that reaches Nele and Julia over the radio while they're on patrol comes from commercial fisherman Heiko Frömmke. The two find him dead on his yacht. Heart failure.

The shots fired at Nele come without warning. Hit, she collapses onto the deck right in front of Paul. The Drako, the seemingly unmanned yacht the two had intended to board, picks up speed and disappears.
