Im Englischen Garten wird ein Mann tot aufgefunden. Alles deutet auf einen Raubmord hin, bis Dr. Weissenböck die wahre Todesursache feststellt: Er wurde gefesselt gezwungen, mit Kokain gefüllte Kondome zu schlucken, ehe man ihm Kokosöl einflößte, die diese zum Auflösen brachte, und der Magen des Opfers vom Kokain überflutet wurde. Die "SOKO 5113" sucht also jemanden, der sein Opfer vor dessen Tod leiden sehen wollte. Das Opfer kann als Sportstudent Lukas Stelter identifiziert werden. In seiner Wohnung findet die SOKO eine Flasche Kokosöl aus dem Thai-Restaurant von Johnny Wuh. Hier nahm das Opfer vor wenigen Wochen an einem Kochkurs teil - sollte hier eine Verbindung zu der grausamen Tat liegen?
