- Do the Johanssons have children? - No, but they've fostered for years.
We've got three murders, two new "artworks".
And reason to believe there'll be another victim.
You think that's me?
He gambled it away yesterday.
I bought it. It's a present. Just for you.
- So it's true? - Yes, but...
- Who's your client? - I don't know.
- Check out the address. - Damn!
He's brain dead. I'd like you consider what to do now.
Organ donations and what to do with the respirator.
It's about the murder of your mother, Marie-Louise Norén.
- She said I'd threatened her. - Did you?
No, but it suggests that she wanted to frame me.
Don't be sad, I'm only going for a day. Will you pick me up tonight?
- You've got yourself a stalker? - It's not that funny.
Present and dismissed employees at Andersen T&L.
Emil Larsson...
Do you have photos of Emil on your phones?
We've got the list of foster children.
Emil Larsson was on the list of foster children.
Emil Larsson, born 1989.
Father unknown, his mother died when he was five.
Fostered by the Johanssons from 1996 to 2005.
- Finally a link to some of the victims. - Let's start with Hans.
At eight, Emil ran away from his foster parents in Ystad.
Found in Malmö, he said he was going to his father in Paris.
- What's that got to do with Hans? - He was the officer who took him home.
Lars-Ove Abrahamsson was a teacher at Emil's secondary school.
Helle Anker?
- We have no link to her. - Håkan Ekdahl?
Nothing yet. But there's a link to Holst and their work at the museum.
- Any other link to Holst? - Not that we've found.
Håkan Ekdahl was a social worker until 2001, when he became supervisor.
- Could he have put Emil in that home? - It doesn't say so here, but...
We'll find out.
We'll concentrate on Emil Larsson.
Henrik, check the museum and Freddie Holst. Saga, check his home in Lomma.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
- Kjell Grankvist, Internal Affairs. - Henrik.
- How's your investigation going? - Well.
How about yours?
This is my floor.
- Hello. - Hello. This way.
Who was that?
Rasmus Larsson, an incompetent colleague.
Freddie!
- Found anything?-No.
Me neither. He didn't show up for work today.
He didn't leave a message? Wait...
His locker probably won't give any clues.
Same here. The flat's furnished, but looks unlived-in.
I'll go and talk to Holst, then I'll see you in Malmö.
The threats Marie-Louise Norén claimed that Saga Norén had made...
- It was you that she told? - Yeah.
- What do you think? - Well, they were threats.
Marie-Louise thought Saga wanted her out of the way.
She'd got in touch after several years.
Saga wanted to cut all contact. Permanently.
You worked with Saga. What did you think of her?
She's focused, efficient, stubborn. But she doesn't seem mentally stable.
Your judgement isn't affected by her having you transferred for misconduct?
No.
No?
No. She was right. I made a mistake.
- You again? - Why don't you hire help?
Why? Do you need a new job?
Do you recognise this guy?
I do actually, but I can't remember from where.
He's a guard at the museum where your art is.
He was here to collect paintings for the exhibition.
- I must recognise him from that. - Nowhere else?
- No. He seems friendly. - Appearances can be deceptive.
Keep the picture and show it to your staff. Is your wife home?
- No, she isn't. - She's out a lot. We've never met.
Phone beforehand and I'll make sure she's here.
- Hi. Are you here? - Yeah. What are you doing?
I was just sorting something out. Do you want to come in?
- Do you want a coffee or something? - No thanks.
- Tell me. - What do you mean?
Why you're here. Shall I take your coat?
I'm jealous.
I'm jealous of a 20-year-old slut.
- Right... Why? - Or, I'm not jealous, I'm envious.
Why is that?
Because he'd rather be with her than me.
- Freddie? Is he unfaithful? - No. Not really.
It worked out fine until she moved in with us.
But now she's there every day with her big belly, and I... I can't compete.
He's wanted this badly. Now she's giving it to him.
How can I... How can I compete with that?
Sorry, Åsa, I don't quite understand? What is it that she can give him?
A son.
Our son.
The neighbours say Emil kept to himself. And he never had any visitors.
At the museum he never socialised with colleagues. But he attended events.
Any other addresses? No friends or family who can help.
Forensics found nothing in the flat linked to the murders.
Social services confirmed that Ekdahl placed Emil with the Johansson family.
We'll issue a warrant for his arrest.
- Have you been in your mother's car? - No.
A Skoda Felicia, dark green.
I know. I've seen it, but not been in it.
Then you don't know how a nail with your DNA ended up inside it?
No.
- We've found Emil. - I have to go.
Of course. Do your job.
We can continue later.
I wake up. And I have what must have been a sack over my head.
I'm tied to a chair.
From time to time someone comes in and hits me.
- Man or woman? - I don't know.
- Hard. They hit me hard. - How did you manage to escape?
I didn't. I think I must have been drugged.
Because, when I woke up, I was in that field.
Why do you think you were set free?
"The One That Got Away". A painting on our list. It's also in the museum.
Ed Booker. Ed Booker, damn it! American artist and social critic.
- Owned by Freddie Holst? - Yeah.
The woman showed us where she found him. I've dispatched officers.
- And this is for you. - What is that?
The wound in your mouth. A six. The code's complete.
- Does L369G42 mean anything to you? - No.
Anything else that could help us? Sounds, smells, anything?
- I heard noises from outside. - Wait.
- John? Is it working? - Yes, we can hear and see you.
I remember this, because it was so normal.
It was the ice cream van. You know, that...
And then... But that was much later...
Sirens.
It sounded like more than one vehicle.
I think I passed out when he hurt my mouth.
When I came to, I heard children.
- They were singing. - A plane or any other identifiable sounds?
No, I think that's all.
- You got that? - Yeah, I'll get right onto it.
Why me?
- Where have you been? - At least you noticed I wasn't here.
- What's this about? - Your little morning strolls for example.
- For God's sake. - I've told you how I feel.
- But you just hang out with her. - She lives here.
- Yes. And why does she? - I've told you, it's for the child's sake.
No. It's so you can keep her here, see it grow and touch her stomach.
- Åsa... - Put her in a suite!
- Colbert can guard her. Just get her out! - I can't just get rid of her.
No, because she's your child's mother.
- Hi, darling. - Tell me we're doing the right thing.
- With the baby. - Of course.
Will Åsa and Freddie be good parents to my baby?
It's not your baby, Jeanette.
- It's more mine than hers.- OK, but we can't keep it.
They argue constantly, and she hates me. The baby's half me.
- Do you think she'll love it?- Of course.
You've got a week to go. Don't get any funny ideas.
- Do not even consider keeping it. - No, of course not.
Want to hear some good news?
I've raised almost all the money for the house.
- I'm just 1,800 short. - That's great.
That's really great, Marc.
- Has something happened to Hans? - Yes. Is there somewhere we can talk?
Good that you're here. Come.
- I think Emil was held in this area. - Why?
There are too many ice cream vans to check. I checked emergency call-outs.
Here. A fire in a skip. Two fire engines, one police car.
I checked the ice cream van again. And found that it stopped here.
With two out of three, I looked for schools and pre-schools.
The Väpplingen Pre-School is here. So, somewhere in this area.
- Let's find out who lives there. - I have.
I underlined a name.
- Annika Melander. - She was fostered.
- At Johanssons when Emil was there? - Exactly.
There's nothing they can do. He won't make it.
An Annika Melander was fostered with Emil.
We need to talk to Emil about her.
You go. I'll follow.
Is that Annika? We lived with the same foster family for a few years.
- That wasn't much fun, was it? - No, it wasn't good.
- It was worse for her. - Why?
Well, she was sort of...at the bottom.
- Where were you? - Low in the pecking order. Above her.
None of us could escape Filip, our foster father, but...
You took everything out on those below you, and...
Oh god, it's not something I'm proud of exactly.
- Are you still in touch? - I haven't seen her since she moved.
OK...
Let's look at the victims.
You can skip the Johanssons.
Lars-Ove... PE teacher at my secondary school.
Said to have had wandering hands in the girls' changing room, but I don't know.
Håkan, our social worker. Ekdahl? His name wasn't Ekdahl.
- It was Skogsberg before he married. - I see. Well, that's him.
- No. - This man's called Hans Pettersson.
When you ran away at eight, he took you back to Johanssons.
- Was that him? - Yeah.
Annika didn't approve of me coming back.
Poor Annika.
- What did Emil say? - He confirmed what we knew.
How can you let Internal investigate Saga?
- I can't influence their investigation. - Have you tried?
No. That would be breach of protocol.
- You can come in. - OK.
"Choose Happiness"
Henrik?
- Åsa Holst's ex-husband. - His book and DVD are here too.
He's linked to Holst and has reason to dislike him.
I never bought that "best-thing- that-ever-happened-to-me" shit.
Shut up!
Clearly, Annika Melander doesn't think badly of Claes.
Everything's here.
Except Annika Melander.
Has Hans got worse?
He's brain dead. Which since 1988 is a clinical criterion for death in Sweden.
- They're going to turn off the respirator. - Let me know if there's anything I can do.
Yes, we're going to question Claes Sandberg again.
- Could they have done it together? - Sandberg and Melander?
- He shoots, she makes the "artworks". - Why do you think that?
Morten Anker said his brother killed him.
Talented as she is, Annika's not his brother.
It was dark, and Morten wasn't reliable.
You think it didn't have to be his brother? Not even necessarily a man?
You know it's not lack of interest?
That I'm talking about the case, and not Hans?
It's the way you want it, right?
Yes.
She's crazy. Stark raving mad.
She's pursuing me. She's a stalker.
- Are you in a relationship? - Absolutely not.
We checked the guest list for Freddie Holst's opening night.
- You invite your stalker to a party? - OK...
Er... Well...
I started a sexual... I guess you could call it a relationship.
You had sex with her?
- Yes. - With your crazy stalker?
My father had just died, and I found myself in a dark place.
And I was flattered by her attention.
- But we're not a couple. - Do you know where she is?
No. I was supposed to pick her up at the Central Station last night, but...
- Yesterday, at Malmö Central Station? - Yes.
The crazy woman with whom you have no relationship?
I'm scared of her.
I do as she says, it's simply easier that way.
- At least for a while. - Where had she been?
At a funeral trade fair in Gothenburg. She's an undertaker.
But as I told you, she never turned up.
Annika Melander, born 1985. Part-owner of Kulladal Funeral Parlour.
Came to the foster home at nine. Married at 18, divorced three years later.
Her ex-husband is in the crime register for manslaughter in 1999.
She'd registered for a trade fair in Gothenburg, but never showed up.
So where is she?
- We'll release Claes Sandberg again. - Can't we hold him a bit longer?
- Not according to the prosecutor. - He's linked to Melander.
That's not enough to hold him.
We found no evidence he'd been in Annika's home.
And forensics found nothing in the area where Emil was found.
- What do we do about Holst? - All patrol cars have a photo of Annika.
The code is complete.
There's no link between Annika and Freddie Holst.
OK, I'll go and talk to Holst.
I'll check if any of her foster siblings has kept in touch with her.
Do that. I'll issue an APW.
- Will I see you later? - Maybe.
Is this a better time?
Yes.
My flat was burgled. Someone went through my bathroom waste bin.
Maybe that's how my nail ended up in the car.
- Did you report this burglary? - I wasn't sure it had happened then.
I am now.
We've tracked that mail you received about the meeting at the cemetery.
That was sent from your computer set with the timer several days before.
Any thoughts on that?
She must have done that when she was there.
So you're saying your mum burgles you, steals nails and programs your PC
to send you a mail which results in you being alone when she kills herself?
But she makes it look as if she's been murdered?
Yes.
The natural question to ask then is: Why?
- To take revenge. - For what?
What could you have done that drove her to do something so extreme?
Your mother was murdered, there is an investigation, you're a police officer.
I don't think this is a good time for you to clam up, Saga.
I accused my parents of sexual abuse on the wrong grounds
in order to save my sister.
- From what? - From my mum.
She had Munchausen by Proxy.
- Was that diagnosis ever confirmed? - No.
That court case was more than ten years ago.
Your crime is beyond the statute of limitations.
What luck. Because of that you could enlighten us on your mother's motive.
- You don't believe me. - Your mum said you made death threats.
- That's not true. - Colleagues have said that you're odd.
- You asked my colleagues about me? - And one said you're unstable.
I'm not unstable, I'm different.
- But Hans Pettersson understood you? - Yes.
Tell me about your relationship.
He was my boss and my friend.
He helped me with things I find difficult, and I miss him.
How has it affected you, everything that happened to Hans?
I'm between the first and second stage of grief, shock and denial.
So I assume that it's going to get worse.
- Her name's Annika Melander. - That doesn't ring a bell.
What happened to the guy you showed me? Emil...?
He's been ruled out as of now.
There you are, darling. This is Henrik something or other.
- Crime unit. He doesn't think you exist. - I do. Åsa Holst.
- Henrik Sabroe, Copenhagen police. - Coffee?
No thanks. Do you recognise this person?
That's the woman who's stalking my ex-husband.
- How do you know that? - He told me.
- When? - When we met.
- You have no connection to her? - No.
OK.
- Do you think she's the murderer? - She figures in our investigation.
I see. But isn't that unusual... female serial killers?
- Yes. - Exciting.
You don't seem upset by what's happened.
Well, nothing has affected us directly.
We didn't know any of the victims and apparently not the suspect either.
- If you think of anything, contact me. - Of course.
How did you know I was here?
You weren't at your place or at mine or at work.
Do you want to be alone?
No.
This is Åsa Holst.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Yes?
No, I have no comment to that.
No, and you're going to stop calling me about this shit.
How the hell can they know that?
How the hell did they find out? Åsa? You have to tell me what you've done!
Gustav? Henrik Sabroe. Thanks for coming.
Sure. Has anything happened to Annika?
Gustav, you were fostered by Inger and Filip Johansson at the same time?
Yes, unfortunately. But it was some time ago.
- Did Annika have a tough time? - We lived with the Johanssons...
Was it worse for Annika than for the others?
No. Say what you like about Filip, but he made no difference between us.
Could you tell us a bit about Annika?
We...kept in touch after I'd moved out.
Wrote letters...
I don't know, she sort of looked at me as her big brother.
Are you still in touch?
No. We lost touch after the wedding. She married at 18.
- To Torbjörn Alm, we know. - How did they meet?
He was in prison, and she started writing to him.
- How did she get in touch with him? - I don't know.
Nor why she married him. But she was 18 and free to leave.
And you're not in touch anymore?
No. I'd rather not think about that time in my life.
Thanks for coming.
- Should we check out her ex-husband? - Yeah.
- Hi, Julia, what are you doing here? - I've got a cold, and mum has to work.
- So does your dad. - I know, that's why I'm here.
Tell me that it wasn't you.
Why did you do it?
To hurt Freddie.
You bastard! So you wanted to meet me to get to Freddie?
No. But I saw my chance when you told me you were faking the pregnancy.
I could never have got him in business. So it had to be for something personal.
But what did you really gain? You made us into a public laughing stock.
Yeah, didn't I just?
- Was it worth it? - You paid for that kid.
- You can't prove that I said that. - I don't have to.
But you have to disprove it. or people will never stop talking.
Was there anything else you wanted?
No.
Right. Let's start.
- First, did you pay a girl to get pregnant? - No.
- You didn't buy a child? - Of course not.
- We had to ask. - We've got a legal surrogate mother.
- It would be best if she came forward. - She doesn't want any public attention.
We promised to spare her that. What do we do?
Could we sue the papers for slander?
You should, to make a point. But it won't quell the rumours.
- It would be better to talk her into... - That won't happen. Plan B, now.
Do you have one? What am I paying you for?
- We'll think of something. - When?
- Tomorrow? - Tonight. Thanks for the meeting.
- Will you do a story on it? - Doubtful.
Holst will apparently sue any paper that writes about it.
Without the surrogate mother, we have nothing.
- No one knows who she is? - No. Knowing Holst, it'll stay that way.
So a photo or an ID on her would be worth a lot?
Are you kidding?
You've got a photo. You know who she is.
I didn't say that.
With a photo like that you wouldn't have to work for a while.
Would you buy it?
Yes. I'd buy that.
Torbjörn Alm?
It's the police!
Torbjörn Alm?
Saga? He's here! Stop!
Stop! Stop!
Stop! Stop, or I'll shoot!
Down on your knees! Hands on your head!
Saga, are you OK?
- Hi. - What are you doing here?
Apparently Holst has bought a child through an unknown surrogate mother.
I thought you'd like to know, as Holst figures in your investigation.
Ok. I'll inform my colleagues. Thank you.
A photo that reveals her identity would be worth a lot.
I've got several photos.
I haven't sold them, and I'm not going to either.
Good, but we'd need to see them.
I'm not a bad person.
Thank you.
- Hi. - Hi.
What's going on?
It's a bit of a mess right now. But don't worry. We'll sort it out.
But you'll have to move in here.
- How did they find out? - It's a long story.
Don't worry, we'll keep you out of it.
They'll make jokes about us and think we're ridiculous.
They'll do everything to expose us, in vain.
And then...it will all go away.
- I'm sorry. - Don't be.
You...or rather the two of you, are the only good things in my life right now.
- May I? - You don't have to ask every time.
What the fuck are you doing?
Sorry.
I didn't mean to. Jeanette?
Jeanette?
Come and get me now! Just come!
Hi.
To the right here. Stand still.
- Down on the bloody floor! - Gun!
Down, all of you!
Torbjörn Alm! Drop the gun!
- Down, I said! - Drop the gun!
- Shut up! - Drop the gun!
- Drop it! - Shut up!
Drop it!
- You're surrounded! - For the last time, drop the gun!
Drop the gun now!
Turn around! Down on your knees!
Come on. Easy now. OK...
Call an ambulance!
- Hi. - Hi.
- Where are we going? - To the cottage tonight, then we'll see.
I haven't got it back yet.
- Where did you get that? - From Freddie.
You said nothing! I tried to get it back.
If I'd told you, you would have gambled away the money again.
We need it now.
- Do you mean we're keeping the baby? - For the time being. Then we'll see.
I have to report this. And you have to answer why you forgot to search him.
- I don't know. - Do you know what I think?
Your dad's death, your mum's murder, the internal investigation and Hans...
- It's been too much. - Not for me.
It's not just your fault. I should have acted earlier.
In the last two weeks you've worked 50 hours' overtime. You must take time off.
- I must finish this. I promised Hans. - You'll take a few days off.
- Then we'll see. - You said everyone gets a second chance.
This is your second chance.
John called.
Julia's going to be all right.
They removed the bullet in her arm, and she's stable.
- I'll phone and apologise. - He wouldn't blame you.
He should. That was misconduct. I didn't follow Regulation 19.
- That's a question of judgement. - No, it's not.
- What did Torbjörn Alm say? - He's got nothing to do with our case.
They found a weapons cache when they searched his home.
He's involved with some biker gang.
Saga? Saga, where are you going?!
It's been too much for Saga lately. She needs some time off.
- Excuse me? - She needs time off.
She fucking doesn't! She needs to work.
I'm looking for someone to take over.
Saga!
Jeanette, can I come in?
Colbert! Colbert, damn it!
Out of the way!
Are you OK?
- Promise we'll never be like the Holsts. - That won't happen.
I mean it. We must never end up like them.
I promise.
Come on.
- This is our house. - Our house.
Jeanette?
Freddie! Freddie!
Damn!
Jeanette!
