Weihnachtszeit. Für Koslowski und sein Team gibt es nicht viel zu tun. Das ändert sich schlagartig, als ein Mann in der Hochhaussiedlung im Märkischen Viertel aus großer Entfernung durch einen Kopfschuss getötet wird. Schnell stellt sich heraus, dass der Tote zu einer Gruppierung gehörte, die sich "Freunde des Märkischen Viertels" nennen und die vom Verfassungsschutz überwacht wird. Koslowski vermutet schnell, das der Tote ein V-Mann gewesen war. Musste er deswegen sterben? Oder steckt etwas ganz anderes dahinter?Da gibt es den nächsten Toten.
