03x06 - The Weak Link

[bunniefuu]

THEWEAKLINK

It´s light as a feather.

So it is.

But... is the music inside it?.

Yes, you download songs from
your computer. I have hundreds.

- Do you want to hear?.
- Is it difficult?.

No. It´s easier if you use both.

But I have a hearing aid in that ear.

- Can you hear anything?.
- Yes...

Why, it´s fantastic.

And it all fits
into that little gadget.

- Funny, wasn´t it?.
- Hilarious.

- She ripped off Woody Allen, though.
- Oh yeah?.

That kitchen scene with the girls
and the therapist without a clue.

That´s just so Woody Allen.
Funny, but a total rip-off.

- Do you like Woody Allen?.
- l´ve never seen any of his...

- You´ve never seen his movies?.
- No. I never go to the movies.

- But you´ve just been.
- That was the exception to the rule.

Geez, it´s 9. 15.
I had to pick up Ville at 9.

- Why?.
- Dad wants to see Lost".

- He watches "Lost"?.
- Yes. I guess he likes the title.

- See you.
- Do you want me to walk you?.

- You´re going the opposite way.
- But it´s dark and late...

I´m 30 years old... soon.
And l´m a blue belt in karate.

- Blue?.
- Okay, green, then.

See you.

Need a ride?. I´m cheap.
You shouldn´t walk around alone.

- Let me take you home. Where to?.
- Thanks, but l´ll walk.

- Please take a cab.
- No, we´ll take the subway.

I´ll pay. I don"t like you
walking home alone in the dark.

- Don´t be stupid.
- Let´s do it. I´m tired, Mom.

- See?.
- Okay. But the sitter shouldn´t pay.

- Suffering is my lot. I´ll call.
- No, we´ll get one on the street.

- Bye, Gramps.
- Bye, and thanks.

- Hello.
- Hi, Mom.

I´m almost home.

I´m in the park and...
Will you come and get me?.

Great. Bye.

- Your coat, Madame.
- Thank you.

- Come on.
- Coming.

She should get a cab at this hour.

- But it´s not even midnight.
- Still, it´s pitch black...

It"ll turn off.

Denise!.

Denise!.

- Denise!.
- Answer me, Denise!.

No!.

Denise...

Have you called the police?.

You´ve reached lnger and Vilhelm.
Leave a message after the tone.

It´s me. I just wondered
if you got a cab. Call me.

Hugs and kisses.

Hello. Great, I was getting...

Her name is Denise Burholm.

Hi. She was on her way home
from the subway.

She called her parents from her cell
at 11.20 and asked them to meet her.

They live right over there.


- Did they find her?.
- Yes. I haven´t yet...

Where are they?.

They´re in shock
and need medical attention.

In a minute.

I´m lieutenant Beck from homicide.
I have to ask you...

We´ve already talked to someone.
My wife needs help.

- Don´t you know what happened?.
- Yes, I do.

- And that´s why I have to...
- We understand.

- What do you want to know?.
- Where had Denise been?.

- At a party at a frend´s.
- Where?.

Somewhere in Hallonbergen.

Herfrend´s name is
Hanna... Jokinen.

I guess you´ll find her number
in Denise´s cell phone lying over...

Thank you very much.

Imagine finding your daughter
like that.

Hi.

- Lightly dressed.
- What?.

You´re lightly dressed.

Talk to me.

- I just went for my evening walk.
- You always take a walk here?.

The route varies,
but I always go for an evening walk.

- Stretch my legs before I turn in.
- That is nice. Go on.

I was overthere
when I heard their screams.

- The girl´s parents?.
- Yes. Only I didn´t know then.

No, how could you?. Go on.

I rushed over here
and saw the parents and the girl...

Nasty.

They hadn´t called the police,
so I did.

- Did you notice anything suspicious?.
- No.

- Nothing at all?.
- Yes... Yes, I did.

I saw a guy run that way
before I heard the parents.

- In what direction?.
- Towards the subway.

- What did he look like?.
- I didn´t think to look at the time.

He was wearng one of those
hooded jackets with the hood up.

- What color was it?. Remember?.
- Dark, I think.

- But you didn´t see his face?.
- No.

- Know where Hanna is?.
- Who´s that?.

- The girl who lives here.
- Right!

- She came from over there.
- At what time?.

- After 11.
- Alone?.

- See anyone following her?.
- No.

- A guy over by a cartalked to her.
- Do you think they knew each other?.

No, I think he offered her a lift.
He´s probably a pirate cab driver.

- Seen him before?.
- Yes.

- Would you be able to recognize him?.
- I think so.

- What kind of car did he drive?.
- A Golf, green.

- Year?.
- I don´t know. Old.

- Registration number?.
- I don´t know.

- Think any of your colleagues know?.
- l´ll ask them.

Do that, and call us if you hear
anything or if he shows up.

- Will do.
- Thanks. Bye.

- I saw a Golf in the park.
- Green?.

Maybe.

Where´s Oskar?.

We´ve taken in a busload of kids from
the party. He´s interviewing them.

- as*ault and r*pe.
- It looks like it.

- It doesn´t usually end with m*rder.
- No.

- I hope forensics find something.
- What if they don´t?.

Assailant unknown to victim. Crime
committed outdoors. Lousy statistics.

- Anyone need a lift?.
- l´m going to stay for a while.

No!

- Yes?.
- lt´s me. I know it´s late.

- What´s up?.
- Nothing. I just wanted to...

- Wake me?.
- No. See if you got home all right.

But it´s four in the morning.

I´m sorry.
It was stupid of me.

- Now Vilhelm woke up!
- l´m sorry. Talk to you tomorrow.

Sleep tight.

- No news from forensics?.
- No. And no witnesses in the park.

Strange, considerng Ljunggren saw
someone in a hoodie run off.

- Maybe he took off the hoodie.
- Or maybe he doesn´t exist.

Why would Ljunggren lie?.
Oh, because he might be the...

- Any luck with the party crowd?.
- I tred.

- They were stoned and shocked.
- Did they see her at the party?.

The host, Hanna Jokinen, said
Denise was there but left early.

Alone?.

She didn´t know.
People came and left all evening.

- Was she seeing anyone?.
- Aboyfrend, you mean?.

- Or a girlfriend.
- Sure. No, not as far as l...

- Not as far as you can tell, is it?.
- Yes.

- She left alone, met no one...
- She did meet one person.

- The pirate cab driver.
- You haven´t found him?.

This guy´s got me checking up on
all owners of green Golfs in town, -

- which means nationwide,
as it could be registered anywhere.

I´ve run a check on Jon Ljunggren,
the guy who called us from the park.


lives at 23 Fyrvägen near the park.

Carpet fitter, no prior record,
lives in a two-room apartment...

Thank you, Oskar. Good work.
So that´s all we´ve got?.

So far, yes.

- r*ped and strangled to death.
- How?.

Manually. See the handprints?.
The injuries show she put up a fight.

- Semen?.
- No. Textile fibers under her nails.

Oh, and she´s got this cut.

- What could have caused that?.
- She must have tugged at something.

Can you tell us a bit about Denise?.

- Did she have any siblings?.
- No.

- Was she still at school?.
- She studied comparative religion.

- And she lived at home?.
- Yes, she...

Just for the time being.
Until she got her own place.

She was going
to sublet a place in...

Did she have
a large circle of friends?.

Yes, she had...

She had...

- We´d better stop now.
- I understand, but we have to...

May we have a look
at Denise´s room?.

I doubt Denise´s circle of friends
will help us find the m*rder*r.

- We don´t know that.
- No, but I don"t think she knew him.

I think she was...

- We heard her scream.
- When?.

Just when we entered the park.
Aterrifying scream.

I forgot to tell you.

- Ljunggren.
- Yes.

- Have you got a minute?.
- Sure. Is it about the park?.

How long had you been in the park
before you arrved at the scene?.

- 15-20 minutes.
- Did you hear anything?.

- Before you heard the parents?.
- No.

- No screams?.
- No.

- Strange.
- Why?.

Well, the parents told us
they heard a terrifying scream -

- before they reached the scene.

But you didn´t?. We find that strange.
The park isn´t that big.

I´m hearing impaired. In the army
I had an accident with a grenade.

But you did hear the parents scream,
am I right?.

- Yes.
- So..?.

I guess I was closerto where
it happened and heard that better.

- Your hearng´s just fine now.
- Thank you.

- Was that it?.
- We don´t know.

- Got anything else to tell us?.
- No. Can I go now?.

Are you in a hurry?.

- No.
- No... fine, then.

- Hearng impaired... Surveillance?.
- You betcha.

Does this hurt?.

- Hello.
- Hello, Gramps.

I´m sorry, but l´m up the creek.
I´ve got an exam in half an hour, -

- but the school asked me to come get
Vilhelm because he seemed ill...

- Calm down. You don"t have a sitter?.
- No, and I can´t miss this exam...

Get going, then. I´ml get some
serial k*ller to take care of him.

Get a move on, and good luck.

- Hi, Gunvald.
- Hi.

- l´m in a hurry. See you.
- Mom loved the movie.

Great.
I´m busy, so see you later.

- Say hi to Simone.
- I will. Bye.

- Do you know Simone?.
- Yes, Gunvald sometimes brings her.

- She´s great. Do you know her?.
- No, I don´t.

So you and Mom often see Gunvald?.

- Didn´t you know?.
- Sure.

Mom and Gunvald went to the movies
when you babysat me the other day.

Vilhelm...

Sit down
and tell Gramps all about it.

Need a ride?. I´m cheap.

Forensics say
the textile fibers are cotton.

That´s all they can say so far.

- Any luck with the Golf?.
- l´ve made a list. We´re checking.

So far no connection
to any pirate cab.

- Violent Crimes gave me a list...
- Hey.

Recent unsolved as*ault and
r*pe cases in the Stockholm area.

- Let me see.
- lt´s pretty depressing.

- Lena, map out the scenes.
- Sure.

- Hi there. How did it go?.
- Great.

Larsson.

- When did they see it?.
- Ten minutes ago.

Hello.

- Police. What´s your name?.
- Jur Govalenko.

- Is that your car?.
- Sure it was him?.

Yes.

- He talked to her?.
- Yes.

- Where you here yesterday night?.
- No.

- Are you the owner of the car?.
- Yes.

- Lock it.
- Why?.

Because I just got you a lift.

- Been a pirate cabbie for long?.
- A couple of years.

- Does it pay well?.
- I get by.

- Great. Are you Russian?.
- Yes.

Why did you lie?.

Why did you lie to me
half an hour ago about last night?.

I didn´t want to get involved
in the park case.

I read about it in the paper
and recognized her.

- She passed me at the station...
- Why didn´t you contact the police?.

- Because you´re a pirate cabbie?.
- Yes... No.

I didn´t want to get involved.
You know how we´re treated.

- Pirate cabbies?.
- lmmigrants.

How are you treated?.

- Did you talk to her?.
- I asked if she needed a ride.

- Did she?.
- No.

- Then what did you do?.
- Nothing. She left.

- Did you follow her?.
- Were you in the park at 11.30?.

- No.
- What did you do last night?.

- Drove round looking for customers.
- Any luck?.

- No, it was a bad night.
- Yes, it sure was.

- Did you stop in to get gas?. Coffee?.
- No.

- No one can give you an alibi?.
- No, why do I need one?.

- Did you put a tail on him?.
- Yes. Do we book him for cab piracy?.

- No, let´s wait.
- He´s got a shitty alibi.

Not enough for a phone tap, right?.
No, that figures.

- How often do you see lnger?.
- What?.

- You heard me.
- What business is it of yours?.

How often?.

We´ve met a couple of times
when l"ve babysat Simone.

- And lnger?.
- What about her?.

I lost my first-born
a couple of years ago.

You were there
when he was m*rder*d.

I have one child left now. Inger.

- Now we´ve got this...
- What?.

- l´m afraid for her.
- What are you implying?.

You think
l´m going to r*pe and strangle her?.

What a damned stupid thing to say.

Yes, but what are you drving at?.

- Are you dating behind my back?.
- Behind your back?. No.

- You´re 42 years old.
- Yes, l´m 42 and tired of bullshit.

Have you talked to lnger?.
Why are you all over me, then?.

Are you scared of confronting her?.
It´s none of your business.

Attack isn´t always the best defense.

- Can we discuss this like adults?.
- Discuss what?.

- Are you smitten by her?.
- What´s with the fifties slang?.

- I am from the fifties.
- It shows.

Yes, I like lnger.

- Happy now?.
- No, l´m worried.

For a change.

- Have you met while I babysat?.
- Yes, we have. Once.

And if you want to know
if l´ve had sex with her, I haven´t.

If you want to know
if she likes me, I don´t know.

Let´s leave it at that, shall we?.

Okay?.

- Why did you draw that line?.
- lt´s the blue subway line.

Lots of pins alongside it.

- lncluding where Denise was found.
- Which means?.

We have to find all the files
on these r*pe cases -

- and cross-check them
with the as*ault on Denise.

Have you checked all the r*pe cases
along the blue subway line?.

Yes. There are quite a lot.

All the victims were on their way
to or from the subway.

- Think it´s the same assailant?.
- We don"t know.

Is there a pattern?.
Time of day, M.O. or description?.

We´ve looked, but can´t find anything
to link the cases together.

Apart from the blue subway line.

Most outdoor r*pes occur in the city
so this deviates from the pattern.

He´s the perfect assailant.
He was in the park at the scene -

- and is the only one
claiming to have seen another man.

And how do we know if that´s true?.

You really think he´s got the nerve
to r*pe and strangle a woman, -

- return to the scene after a while
and then call the police?.

He´s a carpet fitter. They´re exposed
to all kinds of funny chemicals.

Oh, come on.
And Oljelund says she put up a fight.

Did he look like someone who´d been
fighting with a desperate woman?.

- No.
- No. So what have we got?.

Well, we´ve got...

Please stand still. Thanks.

- We´ve got the pirate cabbie.
- Not much to go on.

Our only chance is
if the assailant strikes again.

- Just like Hagamannen.
- We nailed him on a tip.

If he strikes again, we don´t have
a lot of forensic evidence.

- We have the textile fibers.
- There´s cotton lint every where.

- So it´s a tough case to crack?.
- Yes.

Yes.

If Denise didn´t know her assailant,
and we don´t nail him, -

- he´s going to attack
more random women.

But sooner or later
we´ll take him in for questioning, -

- and we´ve been known to break
offenders before in interviews.

- Haven´t we, Gunvald?.
- Yes.

But that implies he´ll strike again.

He will.

One woman reports she often sees
a rude, drunk neighbor near the park.

- But not on the night in question.
- Great tip.

Surveillance has lost
the pirate cabbie Juri Govalenko.

He spotted them and shook them
off near a parking lot in Akalla.

Isn´t that him?.
You said he was in the apartment.

He went up a couple of hours ago
and hasn´t left through that door.

sh*t!

- She was r*ped and abandoned.
- Could she describe him?.

No, the guy was wearing dark clothes
and had a hood over his face.

- He didn´t say a word.
- Did he follow her from the subway?.

She thinks so.
Oskar´s got the CCTV tapes.

- The blue line again.
- And a hoodie, like Ljunggren said.

- Or so he claimed.
- Where was Ljunggren tonight?.

I´ll check.

- Where is Gonzales?.
- At the hospital.

We could call
the directory assistance.

Yes.

They´ve checked semen samples
from Gonzales" clothes for DNA.

It matches another r*pe
committed along the blue line.

I talked to Ljunggren last night.
He claims -

- he went for a walk in a park,
alone, no witnesses.

- l´ll try to get him DNA tested.
- Good luck.

- Hi. Have you been at the hospital?.
- Coffee?.

- No thanks.
- Cake?.

What did Mara Gonzales say?.

She was discharged when I came
so... we went for a coffee.

She...

What´ll come of this?.
It´ll soon be yesterday´s news.

But her life is ruined for ever.

She´d just met a guy
she was very much in love with.

They were planning to move in
together and have children.

Now they have to face this instead

All because of some sick b*stard.

She couldn´t say much.

She didn´t see his face
and he didn´t say anything.

Sorry l´m late.

But I have a paper due tomorrow
and Vilhelm is still ill -

- so I asked Karin to babysit
but she got held up...

- Why don´t you ask Gunvald?.
- Gunvald?.

- l´ve had a talk with him.
- About babysitting?.

- No, about you.
- Me?.

- Your relationship.
- What do you mean?.

I know you´ve met on several
occasions, with and without children.

- l´ve talked to Gunvald about it.
- I see. And?.

Gunvald is smitten by you.
Furthermore, he´s 42 years old.

He´s been my closest colleague
for God knows how long.

If you´re in love with...

- Sit down. I´m not finished.
- Look.

You´ve got one minute to explain
this bullshit, or else l´m leaving.

And then you´ll never hear
from me orVilhelm again. Get it?.

How will you manage to sneak off
to the movies with Gunvald, then?.

Sit down.

Maybe... I´m overreacting.

You´re both adults and I don´t know
what you´re up to, but...

I apologize.

- Gunvald is an extraordinary person.
- Yes!

Or rather, man.

He´s very different
from the man you know, I think.

Or so I hope.

I don´t know anyone like him
but he"s just a frend.

I don´t know
what he"s been telling you.

- I hope you haven´t ruined anything.
- I probably have...

- Do you want to order?.
- No... Yes. The usual, please.

- A bottle of red.
- No, today´s special.

- Awhite wine spritzer?.
- Jesus Christ! Today"s special dish.

- Not up for jokes today, are we?.
- No!

- I see. And?.
- l´ll have the same.

Is this why you called me that night?.

- No. Well, in a way.
- In what way?.

It has to do with my fear and worry.

- Because of the case l´m working on.
- The girl in the park?.

Yes.

Her parents found her.
It was dreadful...

In some strange way...
she reminded me of you.

They found their own daughter?.
Oh my God.

How do you deal
with something like that?.

- We take one day at a time.
- lt´s worst at night.

- Still, life must go on.
- A slice of pie?.

- No thanks...
- lt´s still warm.

The funny thing is...

All the practicalities
you have to deal with.

Talk to the university, her gym,
close her bank account.

Her clothes at the dry cleaners...

We have to pick them up, too.

Whoops.

- It looks delicious.
- Thank you.

- Have you got children of your own?.
- Yes, a daughter.

- What´s her name?.
- lnger.

- How old is she?.
- She´s turning 30 soon.

- What does she do?.
- She´s studying... as well.

Is she happy?.

Anna...

- How´s the... investigation going?.
- Fine.

We don´t have anything concrete...

- You still don´t know who did it?.
- No, not yet.

Whoever it is,
he ruined our lives.

- You were at Hanna´s party?.
- Yes.

Why didn´t you come forward before?.

Because l...
I don"t like to tell on people.

But I feel really bad.

- Have you got something to tell us?.
- Yes.

- About... Mehmet.
- Who´s he?.

- A guy at the party. He hit on her.
- On Denise?.

He wanted to get her in bed.
When she refused, it pissed him off.

- Is that why she left so early?.
- I think so.

- What is Mehmet´s last name?.
- I don"t know.

- Aski-something.
- Aski...

- Did he leave when she did?.
- Yes. She left after their fight.

- He followed her.
- Did he return?.

I didn´t see him.
Please don"t tell him I told you.

- Are you afraid of him?.
- No, but...

Abit.

What about the ones
in the countryside?.

- I thought we´d write them a letter.
- Saying?.

That we´re not up to it this summer.
That we might sell.

- Remember the lake where she...
- Yes.

I remember everything.

Let´s go.

The local police knows him well.
He hung around the subway as a kid.

Graffiti, alcohol and drug abuse,
car theft and as*ault...

Memet Askari, right?.

- Mehmet.
- Mehmet.

- Did you know Denise Burholm?.
- Who´s that?.

She was r*ped and strangled
after she left a party you were at.

- This is her. Do you know her?.
- No.

- But you were at the party, right?.
- What party?.

At Hanna Jokinen´s on Friday.
You were there, right?.

- Don´t remember.
- You don´t remember.

- Did you have a fight with Denise?.
- No.

- Did you see her leave?.
- No.

- Did you follow her?.
- No.

That´s three times in a row...
Where you should´ve answered yes.

We know you had a fight,
we know you followed her.

We have witnesses. I strongly advise
you to give the rght answers now.

- What happened after you left?.
- Nothing.

- Did you follow her home?.
- She was m*rder*d.

- By you?.
- No.

- Do I interpret that as a "yes"?.
- f*ck you.

How did it go?.

Lots of attitude, lying
through his teeth, sh*t for brains.

- We´re going to check his alibi.
- What do you think?.

- He´s up the creek without an alibi.
- But you don´t think he did it.

- No, I don"t think he strangled her.
- You think it´s the pirate cabbie.

- Yes, he´s no. 1 on my list.
- And here we are, doing nothing.

Lettermark... okay.

Surveillance.

- Now what?.
- Open the trunk.

Is this your stuff?.

Your hoodie?. Lots of hair on it.

We´re going to do a DNA test on you.
Hair or saliva, you decide.

- No way!
- Why not?.

- Why should I?.
- Because we say so.

- Salve.
- Hi.

- Are you going somewhere?.
- Aren´t we all?.

We go toward death
wherever we go, as he said.

I´m sick as hell.

I shouldn´t even be out here
but l"m making an exception.

- I suffer from climate allergy.
- Climate allergy?.

You have heard
about global warming, huh?.

Well, there you go.

The doctor gave me two years. Three,
if I wear this bearskin hat indoors.

But who am I to complain when
so many people are much worse off?.

- Just look at you.
- What´s with me?.

Lightly clad, lonely, stuffy.

You haven´t had new appliances
put it for the past 1 5 years, huh?.

And your wallpaper is 20 years old.
No, you´re stuck, Martin.

- How about Senegal?.
- Senegal?.

Yes. You and me in Bermudas.
Two honkies in no-man´s-land.

What about your climate allergy?.

No sacrfice is too great
when friendship is involved.

- How about it, then?.
- l´ll think about it.

INSTlTUTE
FOR FORENSlC MEDlClNE

The car ran over him twice.
His lungs were crushed.

But the most interesting thing
is this. Come see.

- Look.
- What is it?.

Afracture inflicted by a blow.
Not a result of him being run over.

- What´s his name?.
- Stefan Radzik, Bosnian.

Oljelund says m*rder. Gunvald thinks
it may be racially-charged.

- Why?.
- Rad-zik...

g*ng wars have escalated out there.
Immigrants have been beaten up.

- Hi.
- Did they know Radzik?.

They arrested him for as*ault
on a Swede a couple of weeks ago.

- Think it´s a vendetta?.
- Maybe. Could be a hate crime.

I´m going to talk to the victim,
Lasse Dahlgren. He´s on his way.

- Let Oskar assist you.
- Why?.

It´s time we gave him bigger jobs
than surveillance and rapports.

- Is that a problem?.
- Not at all.

- Talked to lnger yet?.
- Yes.

Did you give her my best?.

You lead the interview.

Sit down.

Interview of Lars Dahlgren.

and Oskar Bergman.

November 20th -

Travera by Stefan Radzik. Correct?.

- lsn´t that what it says?.
- Yes. So it is correct?.

Obviously.

- We were drunk, that´s all.

You were brutally assaulted.

- Why didn´t you report it?.
- To the pigs?.

- Have you fought with him before?.
- No.

Are you gangbangers?.

We can find out if you´re a member

I knew him from town.
We weren´t buddies.

- Have you got a car?.
- Now and then.

- Did you have a car Friday night?.
- No.

- Where were you that night?.
- Don´t remember.

He doesn´t remember.
Even though it"s only four days ago.

Strange. How do we jog his memory?.

- Did he have an alibi?.
- Not really.

He must have had a motive
seeing as Stefan beat him up.

- We´ll have another go at him, huh?.
- Sure.

- lsn´t that him?.
- Who?.

That guy who got run over.
Stefan.

What the hell is he doing
at the m*rder scene?.

Did he know Denise?.

We´d like to know
if Denise knew this man.

- I don´t know him. Do you?.
- No. Why do you ask?.

- He visited the m*rder scene.
- Who is he?.

Stefan Radzik.

- Seen him before?.
- No.

- Take a closer look.
- No.

No.

We have nothing to corroborate
that Radzik knew Denise.

And yet he visited
the m*rder scene. Fishy...

But when young people mourn
victims with flowers and so on, -

- it attracts all kinds...

We struck out with the pirate cabbie.

Juri Govalenko´s DNA doesn´t
match that of Maria´s r*pist.

Don´t stand there gazing, Anna.

Let´s move away from here.

- Look.
- What?.

The park.

Stefan´s cell phone records show he
made a call right after the m*rder.

To Mehmet Askar.

How the hell
do they know each other?.

- Okay, thanks. The plot thickens.
- Who was it?.

Surveillance just saw Mehmet leave
a tire shop with Lasse Dahlgren.

- Do they know each other, as well?.
- What the hell is going on?.

- Want me to check their cell phones?.
- Yes.

- What if he took the car to work?.
- Then we´ll steal one.

- Where are we going to go?.
- Abroad.

- They´ve been calling each other.
- Stefan, Lasse and Mehmet?.

- You´we underlined something. What?.
- Certain text messages they´ve sent.

They sent a special text message to
each other after nine of the r*pes.

- What does it say?.
- Just this. "Done deal."

Well, what are we waiting for?.

Sure they´re on to us!
We don"t know how much they know.

Did you squeal?.
It´s all Stefan"s fault!

What the hell is that?.
Are you out of your mind?.

Shut up! Are you
going to chicken out on me now?.

- They´re in a lot on Hjulsta Square.
- We´re on ourway.

The pigs! What are we going to do?.

- Is that them?.
- I think so.

Run!

Police! Stop!

Stop!

Don´t sh**t!

Don´t sh**t.

I´m way to old to go around
chasing assholes like you. Get it?.

Look out!

Take it easy!

Lasse...

Calm down.
Calm down, now.

Get down!

Everyone, get down!

Here´s the thing, Mehmet.
When we question someone, -

- we ask simple and clear questions
to establish what we already know.

We just want to see
if the suspect is lying.

But not today. Today we´re going
to tell you everything we know.

We know you´ve r*ped three women
along the blue subway line.

Your DNA matches.

I want you to take a good look at
the doctor"s photos of yourvictims.

Two have serous abdominal lesions.
The third one is pregnant.

They´re all severely traumatized.
You´ve ruined their lives.

- Some water?.
- Yes.

We also know that you,
Lasse Dahlgren and Stefan Radzik -

- have committed at least nine r*pes.

And we know what you texted
each other after the r*pes.

But there´s one thing we don"t know.

Why?.
Would you like to help us with that?.

- Could I have some water?.
- No.

It all began in school. We collected
panties from chicks we had sex with.

Mostly us... Lasse and Stefan.
Then came that other stuff.

One night we´d been partying
and went out.

Then Lasse texted us
and said he´d r*ped this chick.

He said it gave him a kick
that she put up a fight.

Then Stefan wanted to try.

It was just a thing
like all the rest. And then...

- And then what?.
- It just became ourthing.

We had to text each other
when we"d done a chick.

"Done"?. You mean r*ped?.

The suspect states that he
and two like-minded friends -

- had "a thing" for raping women.

- Did you murderthem too?.
- What do you mean?.

I don"t mean anything!
I´m asking you.

Did you m*rder any of the women
you r*ped?.

- No. You mean that girl Denise?.
- Yes.

- Who m*rder*d "that girl" Denise?.
- I don"t know who...

Okay.

Then we´ll book you
for the m*rder of Denise.

You were heard threatening her.
You followed her.

You´re the last one seen with her
before she was r*ped and strangled.

- Why did you m*rder Denise?.
- It wasn´t me.

Because she rejected you?. So you
r*ped her and topped it off by...

- No!
- Sit down!

Or was it Lasse?.

It was Stefan.

- Who m*rder*d Denise Burholm?.
- Stefan.

- Stefan Radzik?.
- Yes.

He was supposed to just r*pe her
but something went wrong.

- He had to play... It was a mess.
- Amess?.

The entire thing.
It was insane. Lasse was furous.

- Is that why Stefan beat up Lasse?.
- Yes.

And then Stefan wanted to show
the strangled chick didn´t mean sh*t.

He wanted us to go on like before,
and so he did that girl in the lot.

- Mara Gonzales?.
- I don´t know. Just some chick.

Who m*rder*d Stefan?.

- I don´t know. Haven"t got a clue.
- Lasse Dahlgren?.

Mehmet told us everything. About
the r*pes and the text messages.

You did three of them, huh?.

Please turn this way.

Thanks.

You see,
I want to remember your face.

I already know your name
and everything else about you.

You see, some policemen
have this attrbute.

There are certain things
they never forget.

Incidents... people.

Never ever!
Sleep tight, Lasse.

Can´t they expand the law
to include castration?.

- It was included up to 1957.
- l´m all for chemical castration.

Can´t you find comfort in the fact
that we´ve nailed three guys?.

Sure. One dead, one shot
and one broken. Fine outcome.

- And we´ve solved Denise"s m*rder.
- Have we?.

- It was Stefan.
- So Mehmet says. What if he´s lying?.

Maybe he´s protecting someone else
or himself by blaming a dead man.

No forensic evidence connects
Stefan with Denise´s m*rder.

Thanks for coffee.

Great working with you.
See you at Moon Base Alpha.

- What´s with you?.
- Can´t you tell?.

- No, what?.
- Notice anything strange about me?.

- You seem sober for a change.
- Appearances can be deceptive.

My collar.

It´s brand-new.
The very latest model.

Titanium.
Light as a paycheck.

- Wanna try?.
- No, but...

What?.

What´s up?.

- Oljelund.
- Martin Beck.

- Was Radzik wearing a chain?.
- No.

When you showed us
Denise´s corpse, -

- you were puzzled by
a strange cut in her hand.

I was stating a fact.
You´re the puzzled one.

Could she have gotten the cut -

- by tugging at something
like a chain?.

- Yes, but I can´t say for...
- Thanks.

- What did the tag say?.
- His name.

- Did he always wear it?.
- Yes.

Directory Assistance.

Could you give me the address
of Stefan Radzik, R-A-D-Z-l-K?.


Would you like the phone number?.

No, thanks.

THEY COMPETED TO SEE WHO
COULD r*pe THE MOST WOMEN

- Would you like something?.
- No thank you.

I assume you´ve seen or heard...

We saw it on TV.
One of them, this...

- Stefan Radzik.
- Was it him, then?.

- Yes, as far as we can tell.
- But you aren´t sure?.

Not quite. But we think...

The problem is that he himself
was m*rder*d only days later.

Who m*rder*d him then?.

I think you found a chain
at the m*rder scene -

- belonging to the assailant.

I think you took it
before the police arrived.

By tracking the name
through the directory assistance -

- you found the address of the man
who m*rder*d your daughter.

On the night of the 23rd
you k*lled him.

Together or just one of you.

Together.

The chain was right there.

- Why did you..?.
- I don´t know. I acted on impulse.

Everything was black inside my head
and I just grabbed it.

- Is that what he came looking for?.
- We think so.

He knew it had his name on it,
and the police hadn´t come for him -

- so he assumed
we hadn´t found it.

We threw the chain
and the hammer in here.

Then we got back in the car
over there.

We sat there for several hours.

Until dawn.

We wanted to see the sun.

You have a daughter of your own.
Inger.

Yes.

What would you have done?.

Last Sunday a woman was brutally
r*ped by the man you m*rder*d.

If you´d given us his chain,
she never would have been r*ped.
