Borowski and the cool dog is a television film from the crime series Tatort . It premiered on November 6, 2011 on Das Erste . For the Kiel investigator Klaus Borowski it was his 18th case.
action
Early in the morning a man jumps into the water from a jetty on a lonely beach. After Ina Santamaria, who had previously had sex with him, looks after him, he is gone and the water is full of blood. Shortly thereafter, Borowski and Brandt find out that he has been impaled by bamboo stakes.
Around the same time, a little girl dies of rabies in Malmö ( southern Sweden ) . It was previously bitten by a dog. Commissioner Stefan Enberg, a friend of Borowski, agrees on the case in Germany , as the dead person from the bathing lake was also infected with rabies. But first another girl is bitten by the dog and infected. This time, however, the child, who comes from Germany, is treated in good time. After the dog has been spotted and shot in a holiday complex, Enberg makes his way to Kiel.
Brandt has since found out that a man with multiple convictions has bought large quantities of bamboo in a hardware store. But first the commissioners drive to Santamaria, where Brandt logs into their computer and discovers that she was often in sex chat rooms. After she quarreled with Santamaria, Borowski goes to Nils Ackermann, one of her former work colleagues, who is said to have stalked her.
After Enberg's arrival, the old friends make their way to a gazebo, where they hope to find the perpetrator. When Borowski opens the door, a plate with bamboo skewers pops out and barely misses him. In the interior you will find a dead man, who was fatally fated by the bamboo skewer. It's the man who got them too. Apparently he was the supplier for the murderer and should now be eliminated himself.
Thereupon the commissioners drive again to Santamaria, who had put her hand on a hot stove. They learn from the paramedics that the young woman tried to drown herself in the Kiel Canal two years ago . One of the paramedics named André Ratownik saved her at the time. During the questioning, Enberg confronts Santamaria very harshly with his suspicion that one of her former lovers was behind the murder and that she feels flattered by it.
When Enberg wanted to apologize to Ina Santamaria for his harsh behavior that evening, she did not open the door for him. On the way back he meets a masked man who tries to run away. He follows him to a house under construction and falls into a trap. All of a sudden he sees himself hanging over a deep shaft in a net under which there are metal rods. When he tries to free himself, the masked man suddenly stands next to him and cuts a rope. The next morning Santamaria discovers a dragging track in her apartment that leads into the living room. There the dead Enberg sits in an armchair covered in blood.
Borowski now suspects that she is the perpetrator's motive, who regards her as his property and kills everyone who comes too close to her. He then makes a plan: He accompanies Santamaria home and takes care of her. At the same time he stays with her in front of the window so that the perpetrator thinks that he is her new lover. When he thinks he sees the man, he orders the young woman to lock herself in the bathroom until he comes back. While she is holed up there, there is a knock on the bathroom door and Santamaria is scared. When she opens the door a little later, Borowski stands in front of it and claims that he did not knock and that the murderer must have been in the apartment. The inspector stays with her overnight and calls for police protection the next day.
It has since been found out that Ackermann had stolen dogs from the shelter, some of which were unwittingly infected with rabies. He sold one of them to a Lorenzo who infected the first victim with it. Meanwhile, Brandt tracked down the perpetrator's apartment on the basis of Santamaria's internet contacts, in which there are hundreds of pictures of her. However, the perpetrator has installed surveillance cameras and motion detectors so that he can follow the investigations live in his apartment through his mobile phone while he is taking Santamaria's lunch break in front of the apartment. He's the paramedic who saved her life two years ago, was at the pier with his colleague and later came face to face with the investigators at Santamaria's hand burn.
The man, who is André Ratownik, manages to stun his colleague and the security officer in front of Santamaria's apartment door and kidnap Ina Santamaria. The commissioners are sure that he will take her to the place where she tried to take her own life. When they get there, Ratownik threatens Santamaria, who is sitting in a wheelchair, with a knife. Borowski gives Brandt a sign and then pushes the wheelchair with Ina into the water. While Brandt jumps after and pulls her ashore, Borowski fights with the murderer who, since saving Santamaria, had fallen madly in love with the young woman and felt responsible for the salvation of her soul.
In the end, a woman comes to Borowski's office and tells him that on the way to Sweden she saw the dog on the side of the road and took him out of pity. This was the only way for rabies to get to Malmo. Borowski himself accompanies his dead colleague Stefan Enberg, the “cool dog”, back to Sweden.

criticism
“On this Sunday evening, the 'Tatort' series finally delivered an absolute highlight again. 'Borowski and the cool dog' offered everything a thriller fan could wish for: an exciting script, profound characters and brilliant actors. In addition, Borowski's latest case, which took place partly in southern Sweden and partly in Kiel, impressed with its aesthetics and its dense atmosphere. "
“The second 'Tatort' in Kiel awaits with excitement and a lot of blood, based on a story by bestselling author Henning Mankell. Already the beginning of the episode 'Borowski and the cool dog' promises disaster. "
“A truly insane crime thriller that keeps you in suspense until the end with nasty surprises and fatal chains. The dense images by cameraman The Chau Ngo ( ' Almanya - Willkommen in Deutschland ' ) underline the gloomy mood - and ensure that the case is not just bothering Borowski. "
“Wow, what's wrong with the 'crime scene'? 'Borowski and the cool dog' looks like the good old Sunday thriller is being grabbed by its roots. Tension, thrill, suspense ... hypnotic pictures on the verge of pain. "
"More exciting, more complex, darker! Super 'crime scene' according to Mankell. Can the Swedes just do better crime fiction than us? "
“'Borowski and the cool dog' is not only good, but more than that: an extraordinary film and certainly one of the best 'crime scenes' in recent years. An extremely exciting story that grabs the viewer like a vortex and pulls them into the depths of the soul. "
“The crime scene of the year! Christian Alvart's stroke of genius from a thriller would be a highlight even in the cinema. "
“Seldom has a Sunday crime story got under your skin like this. Precisely because of this, the episode based on a story by Henning Mankell is the best in a long time. "
