You said "us" to the janitor, as though you worked here.

What do you mean? "Us" as here in Police Headquarters, or...?

- Stella... - No, let go of me!

Stella?

- Calm down now... - No. Let go of me.

There's a reason these things aren't down in the apartment!

You see? Whatever I do, I get that nasty sound.

Do you understand what I'm doing wron

- Hi. - Hi.

- Great to see you've made a start. - Yes, I'm sure will get all this sort

- So how did the interviews go? - Interviews? Which interviews?

Ah, yes, right. There's some bloke sitting out there.

I forgot to tell you about it.

Good morning.

- Hi there. - Hi, Markus.

Do you know why all my stuff is packed up?

Jeanette has blown up big time. We ne someone to take her place right away.

I asked the janitor to pack up your things.

- I'm going to be Chief of Staff? - Mm.

You're Björn's only choice. There's no one else on the list.

You start tomorrow. But in the meanti we could take a look at your office.

OK. I'd love to.

Hi.

I'm sorry I... Sorry to keep you waiting...

No worries.

Virtanen, Jorma.

And you want to transfer from Violent Crime... Why's that?

How can I put this...? I've got tired of certain idiots working there.

- So, a change of scene, then? - Exactly. It's going to be great.

You'll have to hope we do better here, then.

Uh... I think there's been some misunderstanding.

I thought we were talking about my studies.

I'm studying to be a real estate brok

- A real estate broker? - Yes. I'm leaving the force.

But... Then why are you applying for a job here, if you're quitting?

I'm not. The boss wants to get rid of

so she can hire someone else she's found.

Just as well, I reckon. I reported a colleague to Internal Affairs-

so things aren't exactly harmonious there.

It could be a nice break to switch to this unit for a while.

For the weeks I have left in the job, that is.

So that's the way things are.

Yep. Do you live in a detached house, or a villa? Or an apartment?

No... A row house...

Fantastic.

Thanks.

You do know he's quitting the force, don't you?

Come in.

Could it possibly be that he's the on who reported you to Internal Affairs?

Sure. But it's no big deal.

But Jorma is a nutcase.

Bergholm, Kajsa. So, in other words, you work in Violent Crime as well.

Yes.

And what makes you want to make the switch?

It's time to, that's all.

- Time? - Yes.

And why do you think you'd fit in her at the Cold Case Group?

I'm good at catching villains. I have a black belt in karate.

- Do you? Really? - No...

There have been a whole lot of compla lodged against you over the years, I

You know how it is.

How's your drinking?

I'm sober now. Fine. Under control.

Your boss hasn't pressured you into applying for this job?

No, no. No.

Well, when can I start? I mean, I can hit the ground running.

I see. Well then, OK...

Temo, what's happened? Is that Roland Eklund in the car?

Can you confirm that?

- Put on your jacket. - What...? What's the time?

Put on your jacket!

You know him?

Yes. He called me the day before yesterday.

- Roland Eklund called you? - Yes. It was a wrong number.

- Stun gun? - Yes, that's what they think.

"Klas Levén is a liar." Klas Levén the serial killer?

Eklund defended him.

And that is the murder weapon.

What is it?

You'll be aware that Temo Björkman and his lot are investigating this mu

So then maybe you'll understand why you're here.

Björkman worked on the Levén murders. He conducted every interview.

What's up with you? You seem totally distracted.

I'm fine...

It's not that I distrust Temo. Absolutely not.

But it would be great if your group could trawl through-

the old case files from the murders. if you find anything to explain this

My group? You mean me and that office worker?

- You have the whole of tomorrow. - No, that's impossible.

Just make sure it gets done. Get that group up and running.

Don't say anything to Temo.

He can't know you're working in parallel with him on this thing.

Dad...

What are you doing?

- The gherkin knife. Have you taken it - What are you talking about?!

- Someone's stolen it! - Stop this!

The terrace door, I told you to... Get upstairs!

You're going to have to live with your Mum instead!

Hurry up!

Vera?

Vera!

Aren't you ready yet?

Don't say anything to your mother about this.

And lock the door. Talk to you later. 'Bye.

Come in.

- Welcome, Ann-Marie. Have a seat. - Thank you.

Ah yes... Bommersvik.

Now when can that have been? 2000...?

- You were... - Impressed.

You'd just finished your degree, I was going to say.

My Master's dissertation was based on two of your appeals.

Yes, so it was, so it was.

We discussed the role of ethics in jurisprudence.

And that is the very reason why you are here.

I am not interested in people who jus want to make a career in politics.

I want someone who really understands why we do what we do.

You'll have to forgive me. I...

I've just found out that Roland Eklun was found murdered yesterday.

What...?

Yes... This is truly devastating. We were close friends.

Markus. I believe you've met.

You're going to be seeing a lot of each other in future.

We're working on some new legislation

designed to improve legal certainty throughout the EU.

Well, you know how things are in certain places.

Indignation and sentiment are given priority-

over objectivity and actual proof.

It's very far-ranging work.

And I really need your input-

before we proceed.

Yes, yes... I understand.

I'm very pleased to have you on board Ann-Marie.

Yes... Thank you.

No! Let me go!

Go, Peter! Run away!

No! Let me go! Don't touch me!

- You have got to be kidding? - You've hired both of us?

You hear what I'm saying?

Peter...

If I say the name Klas Levén, what does that mean to you?

- Serial killer. - What else?

Suppressed memories, insane police interviews.

Criminally insane.

Yesterday, Klas Levén's defense lawye was found murdered, right here.

And this was found on his body.

"Klas Levén is lying"?

We are going to find out if what's on this note is correct.

Listen, I'm going to have to call you back.

LEVÉN IS LYING!

Peter Wendel knows all convictions against Levén are false.

- There. - What's all this?

- Copies of the case files on the murd - What murders?

The ones to which Levén confessed and for which he was convicted.

But I don't have the time to... There must be thousands of pages here

- Hi. - Temo?

Oh... What do you want?

Just wanted to check on something wit you. Want to come with me for a momen

Well, Roland Eklund, the lawyer, has found stabbed to death in his car.

- Yes, so I heard. - Is that right?

He called you two days ago. What did he want?

Well... It was a wrong number.

Like he dialed a wrong number?

Yes...

His secretary told me you'd called hi

and left your name and number and asked him to call you back.

Yes, but... well... I...

I don't know. I don't have another explanation.

That's really strange. Don't you thin

Yes.

But I haven't called.

Right, it was a wrong number.

Alright. Then that's settled. Thanks.

- Yes, hello? - Hi. How are you?

Oh, I... I'm fine.

Are you? I'm on my way over to your place.

What...? No, that won't work. I'm not home.

Really? OK.

So, whereabouts are you?

I could come and meet you somewhere.

- What the hell have you been doing? - We've had a break-in.

I had to check if anything had been stolen, so I did an inventor

An inventory? You've torn the entire kitchen apart!

- Are you taking your medication? - I don't need to take it anymore.

My God...

Vera said you were looking for a knif or something...

I've changed the locks, but I don't t it feels right for Vera to live here-

before I know... Well, before I know who's been in here.

I know that may seem strange, but...

The knife. That old knife. You know, the one I use to cut up gherkins.

Yes, sure.

A knife like it has turned up in a murder investigation.

And right away you think someone has broken in here and taken it?

Can you even hear how that sounds?

- And you found the knife in the end? - Yes...

I can understand how Vera found this pretty unpleasant...

"Pretty unpleasant"?

Where is she now, then?

She wanted to sleep over at Jasmin's.

I think it's good for her to have somebody to talk to.

- You hungry? - Yes.

- Wine? - No.

Listen, you have to start taking your medication again.

By the way, have you spoken with Lena

Lena? No, I mean... We had a break-in here-

and I overreacted a little.

Sorry...

- I got a new job today. - Oh? What?

I'm working for Stenius. As his number two.

Stenius? You are working for Björn Stenius?

Yes. Björn Stenius, the one and only.

- Oh, right... That'll be fun... - Don't.

What do you want me to say? Björn Stenius? He's fucking idiot!

Ah, the old Peter is back.

I think I'll have some wine, anyway.

Thanks.

It's been a year since I moved out, P

You've got to get yourself some new furniture.

Vera can't live in some half-furnished house.

You can't just clean up and forget it never happened.

- We've had a break-in here. - You had a breakdown.

I'm fine. I've never felt better.

The police believes Klas Levén didn't commit the eight murders-

he's been convicted for, according to an anonymous source.

The convictions were reviewed by Justice Minister Björn Stenius-

when he was Justice Chancellor-

and he called the convictions the result of excellent work.

But the head of the Cold Case Unit Peter Wendel questions this-

according to our sources.

And you're fine, you say. You've never felt better...

I knew it was too soon for you to go back to work.

Do you understand the situation you're putting me in?

- I haven't said anything! - Don't lie.

You want revenge on Stenius. Don't try to fake me out.

Ulla asked me to take a closer look at the Levén investigations.

Don't bloody well lie!

You're off your trolley, Peter. You need help.

I'm not about to be part of your craziness again.

Jesus, listen to me...

No. You listen to me. You drop this. Right now.

Or else I'll tell people about the threatening letters you wrote to Björ

- You wouldn't dare... - Go to hell!

Was Klas Levén lying about the killin

Is Levén innocent of the murders for which he's been convicted?

Peter...

In what way does Levén play a part in Eklund's murder?

Does Temo Björkman known you've torn up his work on the investigation

The head Cold Case Group of the Stockholm Police-

thinks Levén could be innocent...
