Previously on THE LAWYER

The police report on our parents' murder has been falsified.

So your name isn't Anker now?

Separate foster homes and adoption after our parents were murdered.

You know everything about the Swedish and Danish judicial systems.

Nobody is to know that we're brother and sister.

An old client of mine, Thomas Waldman.

He put the bomb under the car.

He's involved in drugs and economic crime.

I want you to move out this evening.

Thomas, I love you.

I'm in love with you. This is serious for me.

Don't risk your marriage for me.

-We can continue like before. -I don't think so.

There's nothing specific on Waldman-

-but he's involved with a Bogdan Nikolitch-

-who owns a construction company here in Malmö.

An employee, Brian Poulsen, was convicted of assault in Copenhagen.

-So you got Brian out. -My new lawyer, Frank, got him out.

That prosecutor bitch should get what's coming to her.

Jonas!

We have to prove that Waldman is involved in drug trafficking.

I have a case that's a perfect way in but the prosecutor has a trump card.

We have a case together, the Kodres case.

-What have they got? -An eye witness.

-Olle Hjelm? -Who is this?

I'd like to make you an offer. SEK 100 000 if you help me out.

Malmö District Court

The main hearing against Martin Kodres-

-in relation to insurance fraud starts at 10 a.m.

-Brian? -I have something big.

-It can put them all away. -What?

Not on the phone.

But I'm in court right now. I can come by later, so...

No, no, no!

I have information that leads all the way to the top.

If you want it you have to come now.

Has Martin Kodres been acquitted already?

Actually...

I forgot something, a document in my office.

-Maybe Jacob can get it for you. -Of course.

OK, good. You'll find it on my...

Actually, I don't exactly know where I left it.

I had better go myself.

Don't forget that Bogdan is expecting an acquittal.

-Of course! -How did you get on with the witness?

Fine...I've got to run. Otherwise I'll be late.

There we are!

-Hi, come here! -Are we going to Tivoli?

Yes, we're going all the way to Copenhagen.

-We're going to go on all the rides. -Bye.

Thanks for taking him. I had forgotten about the meeting.

-So you'll bring him back on Monday? -Mm.

He's had a few accidents recently.

He doesn't go to the toilet in time and wets himself.

-Is he alright? -He just thinks that it's a bother-

-to go to the toilet. Why do something so boring?

-He's taking after his parents. -Yes...

...unfortunately there are consequences if you think like that.

I always thought that it would be just as easy for you to quit.

It wasn't your fault.

If it hadn't been for me you would never have started using.

-I could have started anyway. -When did you smoke last?

I don't do that anymore.

OK. I have to go now.

-Remind him to go to the toilet. -Mm.

It was nice to see you.

-Bye. -Bye.

Ribersborg Golf Hotel

Do you have any food with you?

I can't leave the room and I'm starving.

Brian...you have 2 minutes, as of now.

Watch your tone. You think you can come here and give me orders.

Brian, I can't... I'll call you later.

Frank! Stop. Close the door. Come in.

-Now, Brian! Talk to me. -Permit-free cabins, right?

They fill them with heroin instead of insulation-

-and ship them from Lithuania. OK?

What the hell does that mean? What is this?

You said that you had something on Bogdan.

I've got Bogdan's phone. It's full of information-

-on the cabins that are to be dismantled and emptied-

-before they end up in people's gardens.

-Do you know who Thomas Waldman is? -I do.

-Does this lead all the way to him? -All the fucking way.

Talk to him and tell him he'll get his phone back for SEK 5 million.

No, no, no!

If they find out that you have that phone, you're a dead man.

Blackmail is the last thing you should try right now.

They already know that I have the phone, so I'm already dead.

I took some money from them.

It's not enough if I'm going to flee the country.

Take it easy. Breathe. Now give me the phone.

Are you crazy?

It's useless without me because everything is written in code.

Brian, as your lawyer-

-I advise you to hand that phone over to the police.

If you witness against Bogdan and Waldman you'll get protection.

-They'll give you a new identity. -That's not going to happen.

-I'm not a snitch. -For Christ's sake, Brian!

I have to... I...

I... Later!

-Where's his representative? -He's not answering his phone.

Really? Try again.

Prosecutor

We'll take a 5-minute recess.

You may leave the courtroom. We will see you here again in 5...

I apologise for the inconvenience. I got held up in traffic.

I tried to call but... I'm sorry.

It's nice to see that you have time for us, Counsellor Nordling.

I note that there are no impediments to the main hearing.

The prosecutor may now present the case against the defendant.

Yes... Martin Kodres has on March 3rd 2017-

-from Malmö Construction Services, of which he is company director-

-removed construction machinery to the value of SEK 15 million.

Martin Kodres has on March 5th-

-claimed and received insurance compensation for said machinery.

Considering the value, the charge is aggravated fraud.

-What is the defendant's position? -Martin denies the crime.

How about later? OK.

No, I'm at work. But I'll try to get away somehow.

Yes, I'll call you later. Bye.

-How did you get on in court? -Svend-Erik and I wiped them out.

-Did Frank find his papers? -I don't know. He wasn't in today.

-Are you sure? -He's in court, isn't he?

Hi, so nice to see you!

Maybe I'm mixing things up.

We call the witness for the prosecution, Olle Hjelm.

As a witness you have to give a sworn testimony.

Say after me...

I, Olle Hjelm, do solemnly and truthfully declare...

I, Olle Hjelm, do solemnly and truthfully declare...

...to tell the whole truth...

...and not conceal, add to or alter...

That I will tell the whole truth...

Sorry, what comes after that?

Not to conceal, add to or alter.

Not to conceal, add to or alter.

I want to inform you that you are subject to criminal liability.

-You must speak the truth. -Mm.

-The prosecutor may now proceed. -Thank you.

Olle Hjelm, you told the police-

-that you saw the machines being moved at around 9 p.m. on March 3rd.

Could you describe the man that you saw?

He was quite tall and thin.

He was young. About 25, I should think.

He was standing under a street light so I saw him quite well.

Is that person in the courtroom today?

-No. -With the permission of the court...

...I would like to read the statement that the witness gave the police.

When interviewed by the police on March 4th, you said:

"A man walked over to the machines. It was dark, but I could see"-

"-that it was Martin Kodres, the director of the firm."

Do you remember better now-

-or did you remember better just after it happened?

There was a lot going on. I was stressed out-

-...and there was gunfire. -Gunfire? The same night?

No, that was last summer.

We're talking about this particular night.

Yes, but it could be the same gang.

So you had your suspicions as to whom it might be?

This is something that you failed to mention-

-during the preliminary investigation.

That may be the case.

Olle, has anyone tried to get you to change your statement?

-No. -Has anyone threatened you?

-No. -This information is new to me.

I request a recess.

That went rather well in there, so leave the rest to me.

-Who is the man that the witness saw? -I've no idea.

But what about the gunfire that he mentioned?

What's that about? Have...

Have you got problems with anyone?

Not now. Not since Ayala was put away.

-Daniella Ayala, the Ayala cartel? -Yes.

Prison & Probation Service Ystad Prison

-Ayala, they're here now. -OK.

-Hola, mama! -Hola!

-Hola, mami! -Hola, corazon!

Have you still got that cough?

-It's just a cold. It will pass. -Take your vitamins.

Cut the cake. It's still hot.

How did things go in Klaipeda?

Ledas seems to have found another buyer.

He said that he hasn't got anything, but he has...

...and he said that we were sloppy.

-Who's the buyer? -We think it's Bogdan.

And you know who he works for.

They take every chance they can while you're in here.

Damn! I'll do it myself.

-I'll take care of Waldman. -From inside?

I'm not losing everything for something I didn't even do.

I have to get out of here!

-Someone wants to talk to you. -Who?

I'll be right back.

Sit down.

With all due respect...

...you're not my client.

I like to see Svend-Erik's new boys at work.

But you were late.

-I was late... -Mm?

...because I know the prosecutor-

-and I know that she likes order. I wanted to throw her off balance-

-so that's why I arrived late.

One of my men said that the state witness-

-played into the hands of the defence.

-Yes? -He's been spotted.

-Where? -Ribersborg Golf Hotel.

Ribersborg? Make sure you thank him.

He will be well-thanked within half an hour.

OK, yes...

Hello?

Sara, you have to pick up Brian. Waldman knows where he is.

-I can't do that right now. -Listen...

Brian has Bogdan's phone.

He said that there's stuff on it that can put Waldman...

Hey, bring it in here.

...that can link Waldman to the drug trade.

-This is what we've been waiting for. -Damn, OK.

-Is he still at the hotel? -Room 119.

Olle Hjelm became nervous in court. He mentioned a shooting last summer.

It was probably Waldman's men and the Ayala cartel.

-OK. -Good, good.

-Are we there soon? -Soon...

We just need to do something first.

A witness statement has linked-

-the theft of the construction machines-

-and the shooting last summer.

My client has been living in fear ever since.

There's every reason to believe-

-that the very same criminals carried out the theft.

So... Martin Kodres is the real victim here.

Thanks.

Ribersborg Golf Hotel

I'll be right back. You have your... You can play.

Brian, Frank sent me.

They know that you're here. You have to get out now.

Shit, Liam! Damn it!

Damn... They're here. We have to go.

Let's go.

Is that so? Well, that's great.

We'll talk later.

Martin Kodres is going to be acquitted.

-Good. -They seem to think it was Ayala.

The witness heard gunfire last summer - was that your idea?

No.

-Strange. -Yes, very.

That tip-off about Brian...

...it was a false alarm.

Keep trying to trace your mobile in case he didn't get rid of it.

If we can trace it then we have both Brian...

-Shouldn't you sit down? -I'm fine.

It's that new woman, she'll be the death of me.

-Have you met someone new? -Yes.

I should have left Iben years ago.

Just so you know, I hate you right now.

Dad isn't well. He tries to conceal it, but I can see it.

-How could you just leave? -These things happen.

I thought it was genuine, that we were a family.

Therese, I love him. And I love you.

Suddenly, he wouldn't come near me.

Every time I tried...

...he looked at me as if he hated me.

-Did something happen? -I don't know.

One day...

...he told me to go.

Why is dad saying that you left him?

Let's walk a little.

How could you be so fucking stupid?

Didn't Frank tell you not to talk to anyone?

What were you doing outside?

I called a mate. I thought I could trust him.

-You're a fucking idiot. -Shut your fucking mouth!

Sit down!

-I'm sorry. -Shut it!

Show me the mobile.

-What mobile? -Bogdan Nikolitch's mobile.

Mummy, I'm sorry. Don't go!

I'm coming.

I'm here, I'm here.

Mummy isn't going to leave you.

I'm here with you. Come...

-Hi, sweetheart! -Hi, dad!

-Where are you? -Thomas Waldman?

I'm... I'm at home.

-Is everything alright? -Is it true that Iben left you?

-Yes. -Well she said you threw her out.

-Have you spoken to Iben? -Did you do the same to mum?

-Therese, listen to me. Calm down. -Answer my question.

-Blanka didn't want us. -So she left, and you did nothing.

-I was only 3 years old! -Listen to me.

Please don't lie to me.

I know it hurts but I'm telling you the truth.

She chose to leave us.

Sweetheart...

-Have you seen your father? -He's in the house.

No, he isn't. He didn't turn up for a meeting. I called him...

Leave me alone. I want to chill out. I'm tired.

Markos? I'm sorry, Markos.

Do you want to come in? Do you want something to drink?

Cheers!

Do you know anything about my mum?

-Iben? -No, my biological mum, Blanka.

No. Does she live in Copenhagen?

I don't know.

I know nothing about her.

You've got your father.

It's obvious that he loves you.

-He likes you too. -Does he?

I've heard him talk about how good you are at sourcing information.

Mm.

I was thinking that maybe you could help me find my mum.

-It can be our little secret. -Sure.

-Can you do that? -Mm.

-I tried to call you. -My mobile died.

Right...

-Where's Brian? -He ran away.

-He ran away? -Yes.

How the fuck did you manage to lose him-

-when you know that we can put away both Waldman and Bogdan.

Brian was your responsibility...

...yet I was the one that had to come to the rescue.

-Anything could have happened to Liam. -Liam?

How was I to know that you had Liam with you?

A normal mother would have said: "No, Frank."

"I'm not doing this. I'm putting my child first."

I want to go to Daddy.

-Has something happened? -Mum chased a bad guy.

Liam, let's brush your teeth.

Mum braked really fast...

What happened, Sara?

Here's his bag. And trousers.

I got a job.

In a hospital in Boston.

We're moving in two months.

-But Liam? -You know the answer to that.

Good night, Sara.

-Let's go to grandma's. -Will we be home in time tomorrow?

Oh, I'm sorry.

-It's Lycke's birthday party tomorrow. -I forgot.

-Did you forget Lycke's party? -I'm sorry.

You promised me that I could go.

-I know. -You promised!

I know that, Sara, but this is the way it is.

Dad has an important meeting in Sweden.

You're crazy. I hate you!

I'll go and sit in the car. You can come when you've calmed down.

I hate you!

-Hi! -Hi!

I just wanted to say that I brought in Ayala's men for questioning...

...the guys suspected of being involved in the shooting last summer.

-All three of them had alibis, so... -OK.

Did you come here just to tell me that?

Well, I was... I mean...

First, Kodres attacks me. When that didn't work...

-...he buys himself a witness. -Hang on!

Do you think that I had something to do with it?

No, not at all! Why would I think that?

No, I mean that he must have threatened the witness.

Why did you come here, Patricia?

I've asked for a divorce.

Wait, wait...

After that fire in your home...

-It... It did something to me. -What?

What do you mean?

-What is it? -I can't tell you.

I can't tell you.

Frank?

Frank?

What the hell?

Who told you to put the blame on Ayala?

Who? Answer me!

My job was to get the charges against Kodres dropped.

I wasn't meant to implicate anyone else.

-Who helped Kodres? -I don't know.

What are you doing?

Olle!

Tell me!

I don't know. I don't know who it was.

They called from a "hidden number".

Take the money. It's in the wardrobe.

Let's go.

Darling! Are you OK?

Was there a problem with the witness?

There's no problem, mum.

Munir, John and Rashid were brought in for questioning.

Some construction machines are missing.

They're trying to pin it on us.

-Who? -The witness doesn't know who it is.

He was paid, anonymously.

-Whose court case? -One of Waldman's men. Martin Kodres.

They have a new lawyer. What's his name...? Frank Nordling.

Waldman has made up his mind.

He wants to start a war.

Listen, you can't be here.

-That's Bogdan Nikolitch. -OK, now...

That's Bogdan.

What's going on here?

What the hell are you doing?

I came to them when I was 10 months old.

Then they got Sara a couple of years later.

So sweet!

My mum. She was a psychologist.

Oh...!

You couldn't hide anything from her.

She just looked at you and she knew.

And your dad? Was he...?

Dad was... He belonged to Sara.

They were so much like each other.

She joined the police force too.

You've never talked about Sara. Not with me, at least.

She grew up with our grandmother.

I grew up in another family.

Do you mean that you were separated?

We had no say in the matter.

And yet it felt like I abandoned her.

She was... She was so young.

Yes, but my God, so were you.

Yes, but Sara found it very difficult.

Grandma died when she was sixteen.

She started drinking...

...and then she started smoking hash.

I tried to help her, but I couldn't.

She was just so angry.

She said that I was spoiled and that I didn't give a damn about her.

She came to visit at Nordlings sometimes.

-But she started nicking stuff. -OK.

Then one Christmas Eve... I was 20, she was 18.

She made a pass at my foster dad.

What? She made a pass...? -Yes, she made a pass at him.

Shit...

So I just decided, I'm not doing this.

I cut myself off from her. I didn't talk to her for years...

...until she became a mum.

-Hey... -Mm.

Did you mean what you said about leaving Jonas?

Sorry...

-Yes. -Frank, I can't take this anymore.

I can't take it!

-You've got to help me. -OK.

-There's only one way I can do that. -I know.

Only the police and the prosecution authority-

-can give you a new identity. Do you have the phone?

I have it! OK?

It's up to you to prove your case. Until then, there's nothing I can do.

Hang on for a moment...

Can you see that?

Can you see that?

I've got loads of stuff like this, relating to how and where.

OK. Where do you want to meet?

I want either a prosecutor or someone from the police to meet me.

Someone who can promise me protection. Do you hear?

-I want guarantees. -I'll come too.

-You know that you can trust me. -I don't trust anyone, OK?

I don't want you to come.

The phone is switched on. It's in a park in south Malmö.

-Yes. -Can you get a GPS image?

Just a second.

I've got it.

Find My Mobile

-You know what you have to do. -OK.

But this might as well be... What do barcodes prove?

I have a guy that knows what every number means.

In exchange, he wants to be given a new identity.

OK, and... Is he trustworthy?

I think so.

-Thank you. -For what?

For letting me into your life.

You're...Sara?

Frank told me about you. I'm Patricia.

Patricia is a prosecutor. Brian has agreed to meet her.

So now you're involving the people that you fuck?

-Take it easy. I just want to help. -That's not what it looks like to me.

-OK, OK... -I just want to help.

Brian has hidden the phone. Patricia is going to help us get it.

Sara! This is what we wanted all along.

You know...

...Brian doesn't want me to come. He wants to meet you alone.

Is there anything in particular that I need to think about.

He's like a child.

If he starts messing around-

-tell him you don't care about him or the phone. OK?

OK.

Find My Mobile

GPS-symbol inactive Malmö Harbour

How much have you told Patricia about this?

This is not good.

We need her.

Don't follow me any further. He'll see you.

-Yes, but... -She's right.

OK. I'll call if I need anything.

-I can talk to another prosecutor. -I want to do this.

I've left him already.

GPS-symbol inactive Malmö Harbour

-Don't be nervous. Just do as I say. -OK.

OK, just drive.

GPS-symbol Leaving Malmö Harbour

-Which way do you want me to drive? -No, straight ahead.

That way.

Same route as Patricia's car seconds earlier.

-Whose car is that? -It's just a car.

You've reached Patricia Staaf. I can't take your call right now.

Brian should have called at this stage.

Fifteen minutes have scarcely passed.

I have a bad feeling about this...

...because we let her go alone to meet him.

No! You know what?

And you know how witness protection programmes work?

The information that you provide-

-must be regarded as important for the investigation.

Yes. How long will it take?

If you can help secure technical evidence against Thomas Waldman-

-the process will be quick and you'll get a new identity.

Drive in there. I need to eat. I'm so hungry, I can't think.

You've reached Patricia Staaf. I can't take your call right now.

Leave a message and I'll call you back.

Thanks.

-I have a daughter. -Mm.

Can I see her if I get a new identity?

Not if she isn't given a new identity too.

-Can she get one? -The whole family can...

...but it's not obligatory. The family must request it.

-Her mother will never agree to that. -No...

What a bloody mess! Fuck!

I'm not doing this! I'm not doing it!

If you don't want to say where the mobile is, I'll leave now.

-Get out of the car. -Here?

-Call me when you're ready. -Patricia, wait!

It would be a huge change. My life would never be the same.

Yes, but you get to live.

Call Frank and tell him where you have the mobile.

Good.

Fuck!
