Großstadtrevier is a German TV series about a group of police officers who work together in the city of Hamburg.
This episode immediately presents two mysteries at the station: one in the form of a fancy package for the police chief superintendent, and the other in the form of an angry phone call. Dirk and Katja are then called to a local company, where a man is refusing to leave his desk despite having retired.

Harry and Henning are called to the harbor, where a young stowaway has been found on a ship that was leaving for Sweden. Henning takes a personal call, during which the young stowaway disappears.

At home with Harry, the runaway finally speaks. Meanwhile, Walter Petri follows Dirk's advice and returns to his former office – but he doesn't like what he finds there.
