Amigo - Dead on Arrival
Directed by Lars BeckerNaples, Capodichino Airport, October 1: BKA investigators Fredo Kovacs and Jupp Sauerland land on a scheduled flight from Frankfurt. Their goal: the arrest of a terrorist. Amigo Steiger, who has long been in hiding in Italy, shot a bank president and his chauffeur 20 years ago. The two investigators find Steiger in a small town just off the autostrada leading into the city. Brooding heat buzzing over the fields. Lemon orchards as far as the eye can see. A small farm with an agriturismo sign. In the field, a lone man harvesting his crop: Amigo Steiger. When the German officers arrive, a wild shootout ensues. The organic farmer always has his gun handy. So Amigo is able to flee to Germany slightly injured, while the investigator Sauerland is taken to the hospital in Naples seriously injured. There he is operated on by Carlotta Fortunato. What Sauerland only learns later: The doctor is Amigo's mistress. Hamburg, at the same time: The publisher Alexander Bosch and his attractive wife Maxime are in big trouble. Not only is their small publishing house on the verge of bankruptcy and the planned publication of a political book causing trouble, but their adolescent son Rio is also causing problems. The enthusiastic sprayer has been caught by the police. Now he is facing a prison sentence. Amigo searches for old companions in Hamburg and meets with Bosch. When Amigo fled Germany after the murder of the bank president, Maxime was pregnant by him. Rio is Amigo's son. Together, Bosch and Amigo robbed various banks back then. Amigo now wants to get his share of the loot. On the way to the field where they buried the money, Bosch is killed in an accident and Amigo has to go into hiding again. The investigator Kovacs now tries to set a trap for the father with the help of the son. In return, Rio is promised lighter sentences in the sprayer case. Although Rio initially agrees, he does not have the heart to betray Amigo. He warns him and thus enables Amigo's return to Naples. But there, not only his lover awaits him, but also someone who wants to settle an old score.
