Original subtitles

- To Pinocchio! - It's all about Pinocchio.

A toy worth 300 million.

- What's that? - His phone.

"Your time is up." That's for sure.

I heard when Eriksson received this melody the day he was murdered.

Eriksson was strangled.

- If that's true, we're innocent. - Well, then keep mum about Pinocchio.

- Martin? - I don't want... I don't want to die.

He will survive... but he may not regain consciousness.

- What happened? - He was shot.

- Who shot him? - I don't know.

I didn't make it in time...

Dear little Martin...

We believe there's a connection to Tomas' murder.

You mean that Martin...?

We think that Tomas got Martin involved in crime.

- He would never go behind my back. - Are you sure of that?

- Why? - There were no secrets between us.

It was the two of us against the world!

Did he ever mention Pinocchio?

Pinocchio?

- The fairytale character? - The wooden boy with the nose.

- We believe that it's a code name. - And that would be Martin?

Sounds like Martin, a little lost orphan.

He makes mistakes but his intentions are good.

But he must have liked you.

Trusted you.

Excuse me...

Listen, you've got to find them!

Promise me that.

- Goddamnit! - Come here...

Simmer down.

- It wasn't your fault. - Yes, it was!

- Clara, I can't cope. - How do you mean?

It's all my fault. I'm always screwing things up. I can't cope...

But cope with what?

Could you please let me in?

If I hadn't stayed at that party, he wouldn't be here, unable to testify.

For God's sake, if you could only...

Damnit!

- It's not easy for me either. - I know.

- But I'm trying. - You deserve so much more.

But I can't give it to you.

I don't know what I expected... but you've learned from a pro.

- What's that supposed to mean? - You act just like him.

- Using work as a shield. - Why bring up Bäckström?

- And you say your mother is blind. - What am I not seeing?

Hard to explain to a blind person.

- Thanks for bringing these clothes. - Right...

Hello. Damn these old cars...

Here's an advance on your fee.

Apart from vodka, what else did you find in Finland?

Blåfield said Ericsson had found a buyer, but the deal fell through.

As in the buyer killing Ericsson and going back for Pinocchio?

You're in the business.

Who would kill for Pinocchio?

- I can think of several people. - Then make a list.

But Ankan has to think that this is about the icons, or I'm in trouble.

- What about Pinocchio? - If we find the killer, we find him.

- A "no-lose proposition"? - Yup, compensation for damages.

- Do a good job and you'll get 10%. - 50%. Considering the curse.

We'll discuss that later.

That's brilliant. See you there.

That was Ankan.

See you later.

Hello.

- Here's a belated birthday present. - Thanks.

Don't mope, Ankan. Guys getting shot are part of the job.

Only I wasn't doing my job right.

You saved his life, that must be something.

As long as regains consciousness...

If I'd reached him sooner, this case would be cracked.

I disagree. Semi-cracked, maybe.

Whoever attacked Martin and von Comer were after the art.

But the person in possession of the art may be the killer.

- So we're looking for two killers? - Yes. And one might have bought...

Pinocchio!

No, the icons.

No, Pinocchio could be a code name for the buyer.

- Off to fairytale land again? - Cut it out!

- Martin's text mentioned Pinocchio. - And that would be a code name?

Maybe... Boris drew that sketch of Pinocchio.

- According to you... - It's all about Pinocchio!

- Says who? - Tina Bonde.

- Tina Bonde said that? - I went to see her.

Behind my back.

- I should have told you. - Damn right you should!

I would have told you not to believe a word that snake says!

Hear me out!

Pinocchio keeps turning up in this investigation.

"Never trust coincidences", remember?

I've asked Gurra to give me a list of possible buyers,

I'll ask him if any of them are called Pinocchio.

Or Geppetto.

Or Jiminy Cricket. Or Chip and Dale.

Or Doc, Dopey, Sleepy, Sneezy, or Bashful.

- You forgot Happy and Grumpy. - Isn't that you and me?

- Hello, what are you up to? - Hello... This should satisfy you.

"County Court decision concerning a search warrant"...

Skip to the bottom: "Warrant approved".

Why risk your life for an art deal?

- Probably has to do with money. - Why now, though?

- This is locked. - I may be of assistance.

- La clé. - Thank you.

Looking for anything in particular?

Look, a laptop. We need the password.

- We just need to reboot it. - I know! But it's faster if you do it.

Listen, do you know if Eriksson was in need of money?

Yes, he was. A while back, he tried to sell his share of the firm,

but he wasn't offered the amount he was hoping for.

- Why did he need money? - He was in debt.

- Who was the creditor, do you know? - No, he was secretive.

But, strange as it may seem, he seemed in better spirits lately.

- I've followed his career... - Take a look at this!

An unnamed file.

- That's locked. - Then check his calendar.

He's had several meetings

with an "N" after business hours.

- "Anen"? - No, the letter N.

Their last appointment was at 6 PM on the 8th.

The 8th? That's the night he was killed.

So the person known as N had an appointment with Eriksson

between six and ten PM the night he was killed.

That makes "N" our main suspect in the Eriksson murder.

- Where do von Comer and Martin fit in? - We think the killer has the art.

While whoever harmed von Comer and Martin were looking for the art.

- My guess is the Russians. - Let's focus on Eriksson's killer.

In other words, who is "N"?

- Come on, could you remove...? - Come here.

Come to Daddy. There...

- Upsadaisy! Sorry. - N may be the buyer of the icons.

Let us know when we can continue.

- I'll just put on her leash. - Well...

Cornelius confirmed that Eriksson was deep in debt.

So "N" might the creditor calling in the debt.

I've looked into Eriksson's finances.

In the 90s, he ran an investment company.

- The 2000 Tech Bubble wiped him out. - Lots of unhappy clients...

The person who lost the most ...was one Ms. Anoo,

a businesswoman based in Stockholm.

- What the hell? - What?

I met her at Eriksson's office. On the day he died.

I interrupted their meeting.

So I guess they rescheduled for that evening.

If any of you had plans this evening, forget them.

Ankan, you're in charge of Anoo.

So, Olsson, Olzzon, and...Nord:

Monitor her movements, who she associates with... Everything.

Niemi, you and I will review the evidence found at the scene of the crime.

Ankan, then maybe you could take care of Kanel?

- While we're out? - I'm allergic to dogs.

No, you're afraid of them. You'll get over it, I promise.

Loosen up, we can share "custody". Should be fun.

Stay!

We've got visuals on the bodyguard and her dog, but no Anoo.

Okay. Thank you, Nord.

Thank you, Carlsson.

I heard about you and Ankan...

- That's too bad. - It gives you a window of opportunity.

- I think I've figured it out. - What?

You only fall for people who are bi. It's your thing.

- I don't have a "thing". - He acts all macho.

But deep inside, there's a lost queer soul longing to...

No, no, no! I'm just as tough and macho inside.

I don't even have an inside. What you see is what you get.

- "Lost" for sure. - No!

- Yes... - There she is!

- We now have a visual on Anno. - Good, tail her.

Awesome idea, boss!

To avoid being seen, Anno probably used the open patio door.

We'd be hitting the jackpot if we could match the hairs and footprints to her.

- Maybe even the ice cream. - It wouldn't hurt to get Anoo's DNA.

- Ankan, are you with us? - Sure. I'm listening.

Gimme a break! Go play!

They're parking near a restaurant.

Could you collect some DNA? That would be fabulous.

Will do, Ankan!

We'll go inside. Park the car and catch up with us, Olzzon.

- No unnecessary risk-taking, all right? - We know the drill.

Olsson, you and I are out on a Tinder date.

Eriksson's mentor, what's he doing here?

I don't know...

But, hey, this is nice...

- That we could get together. - Yeah...

- What are they doing? - Signing papers.

We need DNA, is she touching anything?

- No, he's the only one. - Hello, sweetheart!

Oh, my... What did you hook? A lost queer soul?

- Does she have a glass of water? - What?

- Water? - Yeah, but she hasn't touched it.

- Have you ever done this before? - Done what?

- "Done what?" Swinging... - "Swinging"?

- With a couple. - I think you'd enjoy it.

- I've booked a room... - No, I won't do it!

- I'm on a mission that requires a man! - What?

Ankan asked for DNA, so I'm going to get hair from Anoo.

- Wait! No hair pulling, Olsson! - No, no, no!

- Olsson? Olsson? - He can't hear you.

- What? What the...? - What are you doing? Back off!

I'm so sorry! Sorry!

- GUN! He has a gun! - No, hang on!

- Drop it! - Stop, Police!

- Drop it! Let him go! - Police!

Ms. Anoo, take your coat. You're coming with us.

What's going on here?

Damn it to hell! Olsson?

Hi!

- Edvin... What are you doing here? - I brought coffee.

- You take milk in yours, right? - Yes. And you?

- Black, like Bäckström? - No, a cappuccino.

You know...

I don't have much time, I have to be in school.

And I was wondering... if you and the Chief Detective...

...could maybe...

...get back together?

He's so lonely. Terribly lonely.

All he has is me and Egon.

That's his goldfish.

I really like him...

And he loves you!

I know he does.

But it's too dangerous.

- That goes for you too. - I'm not afraid of anything!

Edvin... I'm talking about real physical danger here.

It's been great seeing you.

And we'll finish this coffee...

- But we can't see each other again. - I've got to go.

We're canvassing the neighborhood. Someone might have seen something.

Unless she went in through the back door.

But if we get a match on that hair, we'll know if she was there.

I'll see if they can fast-track the DNA test.

Hi again!

I'm Detective Carlsson, we met at Eriksson's office.

- Do you know why you are here? - You found shoe prints.

The same size as my client's. One she shares with millions of others.

When Eriksson died, he owed you a lot of money.

Unfortunately.

Here's the promissory note and Eriksson's payment plan.

- Three million plus interest. - Where did he get this kind of money?

Every year?

You tell me.

What would you have done to him if he didn't pay?

But he always paid. And now he can't, unfortunately.

Cornelius Ek, told us there are no assets. We met yesterday to...

But he offered to pay you the whole amount.

Why now?

Why do people want to pay off their debts?

To be free.

May I have a word, Ankan?

The DNA results are in: No match with Ms. Anno's hair.

- Sorry... - We're back to square one.

Not really, we now know that Eriksson stole the icons to pay his debts.

- Tell me you've got something, Olzzon. - Remember the beer thieves?

- They took an electric bike too. - How does this affect our case?

It could be the killer's bike.

The kids found it the next day, hidden in some bushes

behind Eriksson's house, which is a strange place to put it.

A perfect way to avoid being spotted.

- Check for ID marks and the like. - The bike is at the stolen goods depot.

They turned it over to the police a week ago.

Severin...

Did you make the coffee?

So you're capable of that? A filter and some water...

But keeping track of stolen bikes seems to be over your head.

- Dial down that tone of yours. - I use whatever tone I want!

- You hid a bike that figures in my case! - It was found at Eriksson's address.

I've traced it. The ID mark.

And I've notified the owners, according to procedure.

- As my report shows. - It shows that you're an idiot!

For not reporting this to us as well.

Or did you set out to obstruct a murder investigation?

How can you associate with an asshole like that?

He's a disgrace to the force!

The owner is Lucy Nyström. Who the heck is she?

Nyström, with an "N".

Lucy Nyström? I'm Chief Detective Evert Bäckström.

- Anything wrong? - You could say that.

Did you know Tomas Eriksson, the lawyer who was murdered?

We found your bike in the bushes behind his house.

That's right. Someone stole it.

Only you didn't report it, did you?

It was found, so... Besides, I haven't had the time.

Could I borrow that hair tie? I need it for a DNA test.

And I need to rummage through your shoes.

But why? I don't understand what this is all about.

Where were you on the night of the murder? April 8.

- I want a lawyer. - That's understandable.

Unfortunately, Tomas Eriksson is no longer available. The hair tie?

Your shoes match up with the prints in Eriksson's flowerbed.

Your hair is a match with the hair from the patio.

- That brings us to a simple question: - Which is...

Did you kill Tomas Eriksson?

Where's my lawyer? Aren't I entitled to make a call?

You've watched too many cop shows on TV.

But go ahead, we'll give you two minutes. I'll go take a leak.

Here, grab this.

Hello, babe. We're on our way home.

Listen, I'm not at home...

As a matter of fact, I'm at the police station.

The police? What's wrong?

- Lucy, talk to me. What's going on? - It's just a misunderstanding.

- We'll be right over. - No!

I'll be home soon.

And don't say a word to Nike, I don't want her to worry.

Is this Ms. Svenzon?

I'm... This is an anonymous tip.

I've heard that you're doing a series about Evert Bäckström.

Then I have something juicy for you.

Wait here, I'll go find out what's going on.

- Hannes Nyström? - What's going on?

This concerns the murder of Tomas Eriksson.

And how would that involve Lucy?

- It's been years since they were an item. - "An item"?

- Lucy and Tomas Eriksson? - Yes. If that's the right word for it.

- That was in a different lifetime. - In this life, the guy's definitely dead.

- And you were at the scene. - We can wait for your lawyer, if you like.

Well, I went to see Tomas.

We talked, and I left.

And...I forgot my bike.

- Why did you lie to us? - So Hannes won't think I'm cheating.

- Were you cheating? - Well, Tomas wanted me to.

He kept calling, trying to persuade me.

I... I finally gave in and went to see him.

Mainly to tell him to go to hell.

According to his calendar, you got together on a weekly basis...

That didn't happen.

You lied to your husband...

- ...even though you weren't cheating? - Is that so strange?

- What do you think? - She's a liar, and a bad one too.

Bäckström... This girl would like to have a word.

Hi...

- Mom didn't do anything wrong. - Lucy?

How would you know that?

Because I was there on the night Tomas died.

Why on earth were you there?

It was my birthday,

and Tomas...

Tomas is my father.

What's your name? "N" as in Nike.

So, you're the secret love child of Lucy and Eriksson.

Tomas didn't know either. Just mom, and her diary.

- Yes? - Um... Does Tomas Eriksson live here?

Tomas, it's for you.

Hello.

Can I help you?

So your mother lied to you all this time?

- Tomas wasn't "daddy material". - "Daddy material"?

You could say I was a shady person back then too. Money problems, debt...

Go fetch!

She told me once that she wanted to have children.

She also made it clear that she didn't want them with me.

I feel cheated, I didn't even get a chance.

You have one now.

We saw each other once a week. In secret.

Why the secrecy? To spare Hannes?

Yes, he would be so hurt...

And he's my real dad.

So you've bottled it up inside...

But Tomas said it would all work out, that we could be together.

- Pecan? Chocolate? Your call. - Both!

Let's see...

Happy birthday!

Thank you.

What? Tonight! Are you kidding me?

Shit...

Thanks a million, I've always wanted to see her!

- This is great! - That was just the smallest present.

I don't need more than this.

Nike, I...

I've broken the law many times over.

- All because I had a huge debt to pay. - I don't care about that stuff.

But as of tomorrow, that's all over.

I'm free to live as I please. A normal life.

- Free to be your dad. - You are my dad.

Then finish your ice cream or you won't get any broccoli!

Please, no dad jokes!

But you never went to the concert. What happened?

It was my birthday, so I told Mom I was going out with friends.

I borrowed Mom's bike, but she was suspicious and followed me.

- No, no dad jokes! - What do you mean, it was funny!

- Nike? - Mom, why are you here?

- You're coming home with me. - Why? No. Let go!

Come on, I don't want you to be here.

- You don't get Nike! - What the hell?

- Leave my daughter alone! - She's my daughter too!

And later you found out

that Tomas had been murdered.

Mom freaked out.

"I told you he was dangerous!"

She didn't understand. That didn't matter, he was my father.

And he might have still been alive. I can't stop thinking about it...

If we had gone to that damn concert, then maybe he would still be alive.

Hi there...

Thank you, Lucy.

Sorry about the misunderstanding.

Don't worry. It's okay.

- Want to pick up some pizza? - No, sushi.

We're starting to run out of leads.

All we have left is...

The blood, the strangulation marks, the buyer...

And the Russians.

Couldn't you do your trick, zone out and dream up a solution?

- Not sure about dreaming... - That's not what I meant.

But what do you do?

Well, seeing what you overlooked but may have registered subconsciously.

Give it a try.

Don't stare and think, close your eyes and see.

Take a deep breath and relax.

I see...

...Nike as Eriksson's motive.

Why not? Maybe she's Pinocchio.

Finding her way home to Daddy at last.

Motive: Nike

I've got to try it...

- What are you doing? - Eriksson's secret password...

Holy moley!

"Dubrovnik"? Open it.

It's an anonymous email approving a price.

- 270 million? That means... - ...that you're learning things.

Buy a cake.

- Evert Bäckström... - Nadja?

Could you find out if Eriksson's been to Dubrovnik lately?

Of course. But I think you should see this first.

It was just posted.

- Who was first on the scene? - Evert Bäckström.

- At the scene of Eriksson's murder? - Exactly.

But he didn't call it in.

Instead, he proceeded to taste Eriksson's whiskey collection.

- That's terrible! - Bäckström has a habit...

...of stealing pricey items at crime scenes.

This is bullshit!

I've seen... Others have seen him steal priceless paintings.

- Is that who I think it is? - Who else could it be?

He's a disgrace to the force.

Will there be an inquiry into the alleged thefts?

- Are you recording this? - No, this is off the record.

- Thanks for the list of possible buyers. - That's right, of the icons.

Do you know any art dealers with ties to Dubrovnik?

That would be Dubrovnik. That's what he's called.

His grandmother was from Croatia, but he grew up...

- Dubrovnik is a person? - That's right.

Why wasn't he on the list?

Because I had no idea that he dealt with such large sums.

We never mentioned any sums.

- I might have, when we discussed prov... - Provenance.

- Where can we find him, in Dubrovnik? - No, Stockholm.

He lives in England but he'll be attending the auction tomorrow.

- So you know him? - No, I saw his name on the list.

What if this auction is just a front?

- That he's really here to buy the... - The icons.

- But who's the seller? - Eriksson's as yet unknown killer.

Maybe Dubrovnik will show us.

- It's Edvin again. I need to take this call. - Some advice: use the rear exit.

- Oh my!! What a force of nature! - Sorry.

That's all right...

Too bad I didn't get a black eye, so I could boast

about running into an attractive celebrity.

- Pretty infamous these days. - But still attractive.

Thank you... Much obliged.

...that Bäckström stole valuables,

most recently at the home of Tomas Eriksson.

- Stand back. - Stand back.

- My old friend, how are you? - All is good, are you on your way?

- I've just finished packing, yes. - So the deal is on?

Well, of course the deal is on.

Dubrovnik booked a flight from London to Stockholm, arriving early tomorrow.

He can lead us to the seller,

the person we believe killed Eriksson.

Hi there!

Oh, another surprise party?

I just wanted you to know that we're off to Palma.

We'll be back for Eugene's release.

At the Nobel Prize Dinner in December?

- All I want is some happiness. - I want you to be happy.

But he doesn't love you, only your bank account. It's obvious to everyone.

- Oh, Mom... - I know I've been weak.

You father made me weak. and I unforgivably let you down.

But don't punish Eugene, he's not your father.

Thank God! What a nightmare to be saddled with those genes.

Clara's right. You want to be an adult,

but you're still desperately looking for a father figure.

I'm sorry for everything that happened.

But I am here for you. Well, not actually "here" but...

- Love you. Got to get back to work. - I just want everything to work out...

- I apologize for interrupting you. - Thanks for the nice party.

- Good luck with the case... - Door is closing, beep-beep!

Edvin?

Edvin!

Edvin?

Evert?

- I didn't set this up... - Edvin!

He said we had to see each other. "A matter of life and death."

But I told him it was too dangerous.

- What a sweetheart... - I bet he's lurking in the bushes.

Let's put on a good front. We don't want to hurt his feelings.

He was worried.

He told me you bought a goldfish.

Because you're lonely.

I choose to be alone.

If I missed you, I wouldn't buy a fish.

A snake would be more fitting.

Goodbye.

GIVE US PINOCCHIO...

WHO IS THIS?

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

What the hell?!

OR ELSE YOU WILL DIE. YOU HAVE 24 h
