Original subtitles

An original series by C More and TV4

A Yellow Bird production

co-produced with Ard Degeto and Film i Väst

Haqvin and Daniel were best friends.

You killed her and hid her in the secret root cellar.

There’s Daniel and Haqvin.

- And who’s the third guy? - That’s the guy who’s on TV with you.

Tomas Eriksson?

- It was either that or get thrown in the - The deep sea grave.

- Do you recognize this man? - He was here with a woman.

Either you get a lot richer, or you die.

Please forgive me.

What are you doing here?

What did they say?

They wanted to get me to drop the armored-car robbery investigation.

I refused, of course,

upon which the man in the middle fired a shot that hit me here.

And I threw myself down behind my couch

and fired once towards him and once towards him.

And they both died?

I didn't have any bullets left,

so I lunged up and shoved him like this

so he fell and hit the back of his head on the fireplace.

And fortunately - or unfortunately - depends on how you look at it

he passed out. And now he's in a coma.

It’s a miracle you’re sitting here with me, on live TV.

You get home late from work, to your own apartment

and discover three armed men. How’d they get in?

Well...

They broke in.

And now, after all that happened, how are you?

It hurts like hell.

In the arm.

I can imagine.

Wait, wait...

I don’t think we should applaud the fact that two people died.

Is it okay to congratulate you on returning to service?

Why were you suspended?

Apparently some clown claimed I was colluding with the Russians.

- Who the hell was that? - Doesn’t matter. Let’s get to work.

Not you, Ankan. You deal with your own investigation.

- Do you want a chair, Bäckström. - Thank you.

The Wolf, the Bear, and the Fox. That was their scout names.

One of these furry animals most probably murdered Jaidee.

Aka Jada Jing.

Jaidee assumed Jada Jings identity after the tsunami.

We mapped out her digital footprint.

She leaves Bangkok for London.

After a while she moves to New York, which I think becomes her base.

2011 she boarded a plane at JFK, on June 17th to Arlanda.

And sitting on the same flight, was Daniel Johnson, two rows away.

We’ve gone back to track his steps, too. Where Jaidee goes, he goes.

Until midsummer 2011.

That’s when everything goes silent.

In other words, we’ve got a time for when the murder took place.

Daniel is back from Vilnius this afterno

- Then we bring him in for questioning. - How about we bring in Eriksson as well?

Question him as an old scout buddy of the suspects...

No, he’ll figure out he’s a suspect.

He’ll be here soon anyway of his own volition.

How so?

Come on, let's deal with the jackass.

Looking all snazzy next to a person you claimed to not know yesterday

I didn't know... This was the only time I met her.

But this was just a day outing.

Me and Daniel would go out for a week sometimes

but he... This was the only time.

- So Daniel was there? - He took the picture.

But I haven’t seen him since Jaidee died in the tsunami.

Except she didn’t.

They faked her death in an insurance fraud.

I mean, you gotta realize, that’s total news to me!

I had no idea...

- When's this picture taken? - This is the summer of 2004.

Six months before tsunami.

That's what you say. It might just as we be from 2005, 2007, or 2009.

Or maybe 2011.

Midsummer of 2011? What were you doing?

It’s eight years ago, how am I supposed to...

That’s the weekend Jaidee was killed.

She was shot with a bullet to the head and put in your root cellar at Ofärdsön.

Can you tell us what the hell you did?

I was out sailing

With Jaidee and Daniel?

Nope.

I was alone.

No alibi?

Let’s give him fifteen minutes, then we go back in.

No, let him stew for a few hours. I need to get home.

Hi.

That thing took a hit too?

Boris is still in a coma and we're looking for the Tsar, so...

Good.

So I'm free and an available resource.

I’ve got the people I need.

How’d they get in?

You said they broke in. But there are no marks on the door...

I didn’t have time to ask before they started shooting at me.

Sorry. But it’s your own fault.

You’re the one who taught me to see the holes in the stories.

But you obviously haven’t learned not to jump to conclusions.

It wasn’t a conclusion, just a simple question.

Ankan, you misunderstood me just now.

A colleague that can’t be trusted is not a resource, its's a strain.

Edvin?

He won’t let you in?

He doesn’t always do that when she’s there.

Who?

- Tina. - Tina who?

Excuse me. Daniel Johnson? Lieutenant Björk.

We would like you to come with us to the station for questioning.

Let’s confront him with the fact that we know how they faked Jaidee’s dea

And when we get him to confess that we hit him with the murder.

What are you doing here?

I’m Daniel Johnson’s legal counsel. We’re not done here, so if you...

You guys still here?

You knew he’d show up.

Now we’ve got them all under the same roof.

The Wolf, the Bear, the Fox.

The wolf, the bear, the fox.

- Now it’s us. - Life and death.

For ever.

This is your wife. She was shot at close range with a bullet to the head

Let's hope she didn’t have to suffer too much.

My client won’t comment on this.

I understand it's awful to see this.

As far as he knows, and this is the truth that he's been living with,

his beloved wife died in 2004 in the tsunami.

The person who died there was called Jada Jing.

Yes, the bargirl had a name, she who was later mistaken for Jaidee.

Pardon me for interrupting, but this is something you ought to take

with the police in charge of the body identifications onsite.

That’s right, wasn’t your dad in charge of the unit at the time?

Wasn't he the one responsible?

Though I see why you wouldn’t want to sully

his and his men’s heroic efforts.

On Christmas Day 2004, after the tsunami

you saw your chance to defraud your insurance company

I’m going to have to stop you again.

If this is about a suspected insurance f that allegedly took place in 2004,

I’d like to point out it’s past the statute of limitations.

Not for crimes committed around midsummer 2011.

And I’d like to point out that there’s no statue of limitations on murder.

Are you accusing my client of murder?

In that case I demand you put forth the evidence and have my client arrested

Either that...

...or you let him go.

For our next interview I want answers to the following...

Where...and how?

Which should give us who...

...and preferably why.

On the question where we can’t rule out Haqvin’s boat

It was clinical, free of any traces.

Which is odd.

- Eriksson owns a lot of boats. - They're all new.

But Daniel has none?

Unless he borrowed his dad’s.

- Police officer. We called you... - And I told you it's not a good moment.

We just have one brief question.

Hi.

We're from the police. We would like to.

Did your son Daniel borrow your boat at some point in the summer of 2011?

This must feel impossible for you.

You’re scared your son will get in troub

You got him a boat.

It was something you shared.

And he’d come to borrow it, right?

And in 2011? Did he come to you to borrow it then as well?

Around Midsummer.

I don’t know if I should tell you about.

Just tell us what you want to tell us.

- The rifle. - What rifle?

I had an old saloon rifle - for the seag

After, when he borrowed the boat, it was missing.

Did he say what happened to it?

I...didn’t want to make a fuss about things.

But wait, you’ve got to understand...

Jaidee, she was his everything.

She managed to get close to him,

in a way no one had, besides Karin, his mother.

And for Daniel to have hurt Jaidee...

No, that’s inconceivable.

We’ve got a warrant ready for Sven-Erik Johnsson's boat.

Call me as soon as you find something.

Hwass, you were good in there.

Okay.

- Haqvin wants to talk to us. - Guess he’s done stewing.

I'd like to change my previous statement.

I said I didn't see Daniel very often after the tsunami, but I saw him once.

On his sailboat.

Together with Jaidee.

- When was that? - Midsummer, 2011.

Just like you said.

I saw them casting off together.

- Are you sure it was Jaidee? - Yes.

And then you continued to spend midsummer by yourself?

No. I couldn't believe what I'd seen and decided to follow them.

Follow them where?

His boat was faster than mine, but I soon knew where they were going.

OK, where?

Thomas Ericsson has a summer house out there.

- And then? - I heard them argue.

I can’t do this anymore. It has to stop, all of it. Now.

That won't happen.

- I’ve changed my mind. - Oh, you changed your mind?

I thought I made it clear, we’re in this together.

For the moment, all the money is locked

Money? All you care about is the fucking money!

All I care about, my dear, is us not getting caught.

But I am caught! This life is killing me Can’t you see that?

So where are you going?

You’d better deal with this now, because she will...

You need to sort this out, or else we’re done for.

- What boat is that? - Sorry, it's me...

And so you all met again, the three sea scouts.

- It was good seeing you. - Yes, ditto.

Feels like ages since we were all...

...together.

Yeah...

What did we call ourselves? The Wolf, the Bear, and the Fox?

- Yeah, that's right. - Daniel, we need to...

We're... We have some stuff to...

Oh, sorry! Don’t let me spoil your Midsummer.

It was nice to...

Hey...

You still got this?

Yeah.

- I can’t erase it. - That was the whole idea.

Right?

- You didn’t see her, right? - No.

And you didn't see us.

You won't tell anyone about this, ever.

- Do you understand what I'm saying? - Because we can trust you, right?

I understand.

For ever.

And what happened upon this teary-eyed reunion?

I cast off and sailed away.

- And you want us to believe that? - Yes.

That's what happened.

I think you helped Daniel solve a problem.

Something Thomas Eriksson had asked him to do.

You didn’t sail off. Instead you went down to the boat and shot her.

Are you releasing my client now?

We talked to your dying father.

He told us that on midsummer 2011 you borrowed his boat.

When you returned it, this was missing.

Along with an old seabag

that belonged to your great grandfather.

Your scout buddy Haqvin told us about your midsummer argument about money...

Jaidee couldn’t stand living a lie so she wanted to reveal it all

so you had no choice

other than to put the muzzle against her temple and pull the trigger.

- He can’t just throw accusations around. - He’s got a right to question.

- Where is he going with all these claims - To you.

You pulled the strings.

You acted as dummy during the insurance fraud

which was now about to be revealed.

We need to stop this.

I’m here as the legal counsel...

And your client seems awake now.

Jaidee wanted out. That couldn’t happen. So you told Daniel to kill her.

- You’re accusing me of instigation? - Or murder if you prefer it.

Daniel couldn’t kill her, so you had to take care of that too.

This is absurd.

Are you sitting here accusing me without the slightest shred of evidence?

I'll get back to that in a minute.

Tell me you found something on the boat.

No, Bäckström. No.

Nor will we.

One of them must have sent someone to set the boat on fire

The only one with connections like that is Eriksson.

- He may have done it to help Daniel. - Or himself.

Or Haqvin. They stick together.

That means there probably were traces left on the boat.

And they’re covering their tracks.

Wait...

Let's see...

They must've left from here, where the boat was secured.

And then gone all the way around to Eriksson's jetty.

The three of them stood there and watched her climb down into the boat

Then of them goes down and kills her.

Upon which Jaidee’s body ends up here on Ofärdsön...

...which means the weapon must have been dumped around here.

Yes, somewhere deep.

- You thinking what I’m thinking? - The Deep-Sea Grave.

"The deepest point in the bay." Should be around here.

But exactly where only the killer knows, and one other person.

Right, get dressed, kid. We’re going on a very important mission.

Could I have my bag?

Thank you.

Hi there. Been a while.

Everything good with you?

Yup. You?

It’s okay. This was kind of peculiar...

I’m going to be late tonight, honey.

They want to start to drag Mälaren for a weapon tomorrow morning.

Yeah, close to Ofärdsön. Early tomorrow morning.

Come on.

- How are you? - I feel sick!

It’s like carsickness.

My dad always said, "Look straight ahead And try to focus on a fixed point."

- Did it help? - Not a bit. I threw up like a dog.

If you need to throw up, do it in the other direction.

There it is. Fifty or sixty meters straight out.

- There it is. The Deep-Sea Grave - OK.

Well, let’s see which one of the scouts shows up.

I think it’s gonna be Haqvin.

You can’t suspect someone just because you’re angry at them.

- Who do you think? - I know who I’m hoping for.

A boat is approaching.

We have not been able to ID the driver.

Alright then...

Let's get him! Come on.

Look what we found here.

Come on!

You might as well take this off.

Welcome. You're done for.

Jada, that’s it.

Do you hear me? This has to stop.

You will ruin everything, do you understand?

I can't deal with this shit again!

Please, look at me when I'm talking to you, Jada.

- Jada. Jaidee! - Yes.

- Yes what? - It is.

- What do you mean? - Jaidee.

That's who I am. That's who I want to be again.

I want to be me!

Are you crazy? After all we’ve done, you want to go back and be...?

- You’re going to get us caught! - I don’t care!

This isn’t a life. I can’t live like this anymore.

It’s a pretty good fucking life, and it will get better.

You’d rather lose all the money? And go to prison?

I can’t go home. I can’t see my friends. I can’t see my mom.

This is already a prison!

You don’t care if we get caught? If I go down with you?

Then you went to Ofärdsön and hid Jaidee’s body in the root cellar

On the way there or back you tossed the gun in the Deep-Sea Grave

I confess.

I hid the weapon.

And the body.

But do you really think I could've kille the woman I loved more than anything?

For money?

So who killed her?

She did.

She couldn’t stand living a double life. So she took her own life.

The angle suggests murder, but suicide can’t be ruled out.

But why hide the weapon if it was suicide?

We have where, how, who and why.

There's nothing to suggest Jaidee was suicidal.

On the contrary, she was a survivor.

Their alleged motive is weak.

But we, on the other hand, have 24 million motives.

- But you don't think it's Daniel? - Yes, I do.

- But not based on that motive? - It wasn't about money.

It doesn't matter. The sum of our collected evidence weighs a ton!

You’ll have to show all of Sweden

how your dad’s unit mishandled the identification...

And you’re up against Tomas Eriksson.

Getting murderers off is his specialty.

It’ll come down to who said what.

But there's one person who didn't get to say anything at all.

Jaidee.

Exactly.

And it’s for her sake I need to take this to court!

Did anyone say, "come in?"

- How's the case going? - It's about wrapped up. And your case?

We're doing progress.

I found out a few things I think you may find interesting.

Thank you, but I don't have time.

It's about a Swedish-born woman, Swedish mom, Russian dad.

Name is Kristina, but she calls herself "Tina."

When she was fifteen her family moved to Russia,

where her dad got involved with the mob and got into debt,

a debt that she inherited. Read for yourself.

Somehow she managed to return to Sweden

where she took her mother’s name Bonde and started building a PR firm.

But she didn't manage to pay off the debt to the Russians - or the Tsar.

You told her about the raid on

and gave her a spare key.

- I should've known better. - Don’t be too hard on yourself.

You misread me. Again. I should’ve known you’d figure this out.

You can keep it.

That’s the only copy, so be careful with it.

- There's someone here to see you. - Hi there, Edvin!

We had plans to celebrate the fact that the case has been solved

thanks to our great detective here. Do you want to join?

- Sure! - Okay.

Let's go. How's it going, buddy? What do you want?

- Banana Split or some canned sprat? - Banana Split.

Come on, we're off to celebrate the kid.

Beer, soda, bananas and balloons. It's all on me. Come along.

Look, the boss is awake.

Don't forget to lock and turn off the lights.

The Court's findings in case B-139418.

The court finds the prosecutor’s attempt to show Daniel Johnson is guilty

of Jaidee Kunchai Johnson’s death

has NOT been proven beyond reasonable doubt.

The prosecutor’s case is hereby dismisse

Regarding prevention of lawful burial of a body,

to which Daniel confessed,

the court sentences Daniel Johnson to two years conditional imprisonment,

meaning a probation period of two years and 240 hours of community service.

Honey, if you must insist on disgracing and my men in front of the entire countr

you should at least get a guilty verdict

But apparently...

...you can’t stop disappointing.

What an asshole!

Don’t listen to that.

I used to. In my previous life.

Okay, so the court claims there's reasonable doubt.

What say you?

Are you convinced Daniel killed her?

I haven’t come to ask for forgiveness.

I know you can’t give me that. But I want to explain...

Thanks, but I’ve done my research now. Which I should've done before.

You may have the facts.

But you have no idea what it was like.

I was stuck in a country, with a debt I could never repay.

When I was given a chance at a new life.

But you’re still paying for your old one

I had no choice!

But what choice did you give me?

They said they were gonna pay you off, not...

You assumed I could be bought.

You never thought about what might happen if I refused.

I had to make a choice.

And you chose yourself and your new life.

Instead of me.

Yes.

Jaidee!

I'm leaving.

- What...? - I'm leaving.

- Jaidee, please... - Don't call me that.

- I'm Jada. - No, you're not.

- You're my Jaidee. - Not anymore.

Put that back. Put that back.

- I want to be free. - You are free!

Not when I'm with you!

Jaidee, please... Don't do this.

- Jaidee died in the tsunami. - No, she didn't!

No, you are here with me. Please...

No, I can't. Not without you. I'm nothin

Don't you see? I'm Jada, not Jaidee.

She's dead and you have to let her go. I'm sorry.

I have to get back into town.

Okay... Okay.

So do I get my sentence now?

Or can I get up and walk out of here?

Try.

It was murder.

Daniel said he loved her and didn't care about the money

but he couldn't let her live her own life - without him.

But if you really love someone you let them leave.

Evert!

Evert!

Evert!

Dagny!

Dagny!
