In 1988, a bomb explosion in Germany's finest department store shocks the entire nation and sets off a countrywide hunt for one of the most cunning criminals, Scrooge.
Arno Funke's life suddenly turns around as he becomes rich. He goes on a trip to Spain with his mates and falls in love with Anaïs. However, when he's about to run out of money, he starts blackmailing again.
Arno puts great effort into enjoying his time with Anaïs and their son, as the police still have no clue. However, he soon notices that his money is about to run out and that he quickly needs more because he has a family to look after.
Old demons haunt Arno and he's drowning financially. He finds himself in a difficult situation as mistrust rises within the house and he fails to complete multiple money handovers with the police.
The police face hatred from the entire nation because Scrooge keeps getting away; Arno invents an elaborate method for handing over money; the police get closer to Scrooge with the new negotiation tactics.
Arno and the police are both frustrated after their many respective failures but are not ready to give up yet. In the showdown, Arno once again tries his luck, but the other side is prepared this time.
