Launched in 2016, the brilliant 90-minute crime drama Der Zürich-Krimi returned in December 2021 on German pubcaster Das Erste with Borchert und der verlorene Sohn. Borchert und die bittere Medizin followed in February 2022.
Der Zürich-Krimi stars the great Christian Kohlund (Das Traumhotel, Black Forest Clinic) as the melancholic Thomas Borchert, an "unlicensed attorney" who works in Zurich for lawyer Dominique Kuster and often acts as a private investigator. Ina Paule Klink (Wilsberg) co-stars as Dominique. Pierre Kiwitt plays Police captain Marco Furrer (1). Robert Hunger-Bühler, who plays Dominique's father Dr. Reto Zanger, is absent from this episode. The other regulars are Susi Banzhaf as Regula Gabrielli (Dominique's assistant), Andrea Zogg as taxi driver Beat Bürki, and Yves Wüthrich (Urs Aeggi, Furrer's deputy).
« Antonius Bildermann. Kenne ich seit über 40 Jahren aus dem Sportverein.
- Sie haben mal Sport gemacht?
- Dominique! »
Biotech entrepreneur Antonius Bildermann, an old friend of Borchert, would like Thomas and Dominique to prepare a wedding contract for him as he's about to marry the much younger Mira Gül. The lawyers witness tension between Bildermann and Julian, one of the two sons he had with his ex-wife Stefanie. Julian Bildermann is abducted soon after while jogging and his kidnappers demand 3 million Swiss francs. Thomas warns the police and offers to deliver the ransom. He brings back the young man safe and sound but one of the kidnappers is found dead.
« Jetzt pass mal auf, du Arschloch! Ich schmeiße das Geld ins Wasser so schnell kannst du gar nicht schauen! »
Captain Furrer thinks Julian staged his abduction. Borchert must solve a puzzle made of family secrets. The excellent Borchert und der verlorene Sohn was penned by Rainer Ruppert (Alphateam - Die Lebensretter im OP, Verbotene Liebe) and directed by Roland Suso Richter. The guest cast includes none other than Uwe Kockisch (Commissario Guido Brunetti in Donna Leon) as Antonius Bildermann and the always fabulous Götz Otto (Der Clown, Tomorrow Never Dies) as a mobster named Eric Meier.
