action
In the middle of a small family celebration in the Stubbe house, Christiane's friend Helge receives a call. He leaves the intimate group in the evening under the pretext of being able to pick up a cot. The next day, the hostel operator Till Wenzel was found dead in a park. Inspector Stubbe and his colleague Zimmermann are called to the scene and their colleague Rosinsky informs them that a witness had seen an olive-green older Mercedes-Benz in which two young men got into. Stubbe and Zimmermann first ask Gerd Maurer, the victim's business partner, whether the perpetrator could possibly be found among their hostel guests. Since Wenzel usually had the daily income with him on the way home, the investigators assume a robbery .
Since Helge returned from his nightly tour, he has been acting strangely, which Christiane notices and she becomes suspicious. When she tries to answer him, he reveals to her that his brother Nico has seen the murder and, due to his previous history, it is impossible to appear at the police station. He would have a criminal record and would inevitably be mistaken for the murderer. Since Nico is suicidal, Helge fears that he would not survive pre-trial detention. So he wants to try to find the culprit himself and to exonerate Nico. But it doesn't come to that because Helge receives a summons because his car was seen at the crime scene. To make matters worse, smeared traces of blood are found in the car. Thereupon Helge is brought into custody and Wilfried Stubbe is withdrawn from the case. Since Christiane is convinced that her father only sees Helge as the culprit, she tries to find the culprit on her own. First she takes care of his brother Nico in Helge's place, who is still hiding. She learns from him that he saw two men in the park who first quarreled and then one stabbed the other. Since the perpetrator had seen him, he would have fled into the bushes and then called Helge. After Helge came, they looked after the victim and took his cell phone with them. Christiane later finds out that Nico had robbed the dead.
Tensions still exist between Christiane and her father. So Chrissi packs her things and gives her father the victim's cell phone with the information that almost all the numbers dialed lead to Eastern Europe and one here to a Hamburg car repair shop. He should now go on and maybe think about pushing cars. She stays in Gerd Maurer's hostel without her father's knowledge. There she secretly searches for clues in the office at night and is almost caught by Maurer. She sends her father a message with a note about possibly freshly stolen cars. After Stubbe has checked that, he too is convinced that the hostel is just an alibi company and that Maurer and Wenzel have become rich with illegal car trade in Eastern Europe. Stubbe lets Zimmermann in on the results of his private investigation, according to which Maurer should have the greatest motive in the end. Christiane secretly follows Maurer and comes across a warehouse full of spare parts, including the dismantled stolen cars.
Meanwhile, Nico is discovered by Maurer, which Christiane also notices and can alert her father so quickly. Before the police arrive, Christiane has already knocked down Mauer. Lately, there had been more and more disputes between Mauerer and Wenzel about the income, which then escalated in the park.

criticism
Thomas Gehringer from tittelbach.tv said: “Peter Kahane, author-director of numerous 'Stubbe' films, quickly turns this episode into a family ordeal. 'Blood Brothers' is more than just a conventional “Whodunit”, but also a largely psychologically convincing “family constellation”. Now and then [also] with weaknesses, ”but overall,“ Skillfully [...] the tension is kept high. ”“ Kahane is pushing this family crime series with a new depth and seriousness, the camera and imagery are also becoming more modern, faster , more varied. The old pettiness lives on at most in the police station and in the dialogues with colleague Zimmermann. "
For the critics of the TV magazine TV Spielfilm , Blutsbrüder was a “stubborn family thriller in Saturday quality” and gave the film the best possible rating (thumbs up).
