During the preparation of a cremation a coffin of the Conrad funeral home breaks open containing two bodies. Next to the "normal" deceased lies murdered Canton archaelogist Roman Hunziker - skull fracture. It's a miracle to Luc and both his employees how Hunziker could have landed in the coffin. Luc is shocked: All of a sudden he is a major suspect in a murdercase? Federal cop Pedro alleges that Luc worked for Lauener. Semmelweis believes theory. The coroner confronts the undertaker, holds a scalpell to his neck. More evidence is found incriminating Luc. Now, the undertaker is definitely a murder suspect on the run from the police and Semmelweis and goes into hiding.
