On Mischa's orders Dimitri gives Gorsky a tip-off. He shows him a warehouse in Westhafen, which Sokolov and his gang are to raid in two days time. Although LKA-head Nico Roeber barely knows Gorsky and Lottner, he believes them. On the night in question the warehouse is surrounded by the SWAT. The LKA arrest five men as they break in, only the leader of the multi-ethnic gang, Joska Bodrov, is able to escape because his people delay the police. In any event, Marek Gorsky saw the leader's face during an exchange of fire. Andrei, the head of the criminal enterprise, who commissioned the break-in, is angry. Why is he bribing Bernd Hollmann and Sabine Jaschke at the LKA investigation department if they don't warn him? Hollmann and Jaschke are told to find out where the LKA got the tip-off about the warehouse. Otherwise Hollmann knows what will happen to his family...
Meanwhile Stella seeks the advice of Uncle Sascha, the Gorsky family's old friend. She feels her marriage is sinking deeper and deeper into crisis. She is no longer happy to be just the beautiful wife by the side of a well-to-do Russian and to look away from Mischa's business dealings. Uncle Sascha asks Stella to stand by her husband, especially now. Mischa, he indicates to her, wants to live by the law but is under attack by a group that wants war.
"Films that throb and pulsate, full of raging, wild, delirious life. (...) Graf's far-reaching, wide-ranging cops and robbers saga is epic, larger-than-life TV moviemaking." Der Tagesspiegel, Berlin
"500 minutes of suspense, in ten chock-full episodes, on a par with any big-budget blockbuster. (...) A gift to the audience and a piece of big-screen drama of the sort we need more of (...) The cast is stunning..." Frankfurter Allgemeine
