action

On behalf of the “entrepreneur” and smuggler Hattkämper, Brandner transports a group of Kurds to Hamburg . An incident occurs during one of the trips: a Kurd with heart disease dies just a few kilometers before arriving in an old factory building in Hamburg-Billbrook . Messud Baran, Hattkämper's right-hand man and also a Kurd and member of the PKK , blames Brandner for his death. A fight ensues between Brandner and Baran, in which Brandner injures the latter. Baran then threatens to kidnap Brandner's daughter. During the conflict, the police and the immigration authorities raid . The officers discover the dead and turn on the detective commissioners Stoever and Brockmöller from the homicide squad. Hattkämper denies working as a smuggler and claims that he had only received a notice that unauthorized persons were on his factory premises and therefore wanted to make sure that everything was right. The investigators also grapple Baran, but he is silent. The officials around the Turkish police officer Nuril are also very interested in the Kurd.

Shortly afterwards, Brandner's daughter Aische is kidnapped by two southern-looking men. Brandner suspects Baran and approaches him with a gun. But while he is threatening him with a rifle, Baran is shot by someone else in front of his eyes. However, Baran's girlfriend identifies Brandner. This, a former lone fighter , then goes to the family of Messud Baran's brother Levent, because he suspects his daughter to be there. Levent has since been placed under police protection in a hotel. When his family tries to continue with the car, it explodes and the police can get the family to safety just in time. Levent Baran reports to Stoever and Brockmöller that both he and his brother, as former Kurdish resistance fighters, are being persecuted by the Turkish secret police, but the German courts have so far always rejected extradition requests. This directs the suspicions of the commissioners to the secret police, especially since it was from them that the decisive clue for the raid on Hattkämper came, as assistant "Meyer Zwo" has since learned. Stoever learns from economic investigator Menzel that the car with which Aische was kidnapped is being driven by Turkish police colleague Nuril and his assistant.

Meanwhile, Brandner makes his way to the hotel where Levent Baran is guarded by Brockmöller and "Meyer Zwo". Brandner lures “Meyer Zwo” out of the hotel room and stabs him with a trick. While Stoever and Brockmöller are looking for their colleague, Brandner attacks Levent Baran. He demands his daughter and safe conduct - without knowing that the police have not yet found her. However, through a trick, Stoever learns the whereabouts of the two Turkish secret police officers and can bring Aische to him in good time before Brandner's ultimatum expires. The Turkish police are arrested. Stoever brings Aische to Brandner, who is shot by an officer of the mobile task force while trying to escape in front of his daughter . For Stoever and Brockmöller, there is another difficult course ahead: They learn that their deceased colleague “Meyer Zwo”, previously known as a loner, had relatives in Hamburg ...
