Original subtitles

I have read the judgment. It is well written, but…

You found Therese Lundqvist shot.

We know it was Särn but don't have enough to prosecute.

Work harder.

- Goodbye, Reino! - Now the party committee has arrived.

In recent months, I have checked a lot in the preliminary investigation.

It says how you pressured the mother to change her testimony!

- Have you written down everything you did? - Memory was never my strong point.

He had a rifle when we were younger.

You take care! - This stays between us. Okay?

I don't have a gun.

What did you see then? You lied to my face last night.

Come on.

You are served.

Four years? It's getting big lady, this.

- Of course, if you want me there. - You are at the top of Leah's wish list.

Is that Thompson's car?

You... We won't let Särn come between us.

No, I never wanted to.

Too much emotion is starting to come into this, not good.

I'm afraid it affects police work.

Is it the police's fault that he was beaten?

So he got spanked now? It is making progress.

The last time Therese was seen alive, she was jumped on by Särn.

And he had access to a weapon.

Then find that damn gun and test fire it-

-then you can end it and then maybe you can start listening to me instead.

You who meet Peter during the day, do you know how it is with him?

What are you thinking about?

Särn was badly beaten...

-and I think Peter knows that but he chooses to look away.

- Have you never done it? - No, not in this kind of context.

Do not worry.

Now we're talking! What are you doing?

If it was Särn who hid the body-

-then she must have been somewhere within this circle-

-otherwise he couldn't possibly have made it here to buy cigarettes.

- What is it? - No no. Nothing, nothing.

The body was probably stored indoors.

No soil or other organic matter in the plastic she was wrapped in.

Indoors, you say...

Yes, we found a rock room with stolen goods and shit.

Such an old abandoned military facility.

We never got Särn for it but it was obvious it was his…

Wow, it was right there... up there.

Then she had also broken a finger.

Yes... And what does that mean?

Maybe Pål lied.

Didn't he say in his testimony that he saw Therese give Särn an ear file?

Would you ear file someone with a broken finger?

Yeah, maybe she broke it when she was attacked?

See, the wound had begun to heal.

How the hell do you know all this?

Wrong question. Why is Pål lying?

Hi, I won't be long, Lennart.

I just have a few simple questions.

- Do you know if Therese was right-handed? - Yeah.

Do you remember if she hurt her hand in any way-

-just before she disappeared?

- No, what kind of damage? - Yeah, like a broken finger or something.

- No. - You shouldn't answer that, father.

Wait, Pål.

What the hell are you doing here? What are you doing, Erik?

How can you give someone an ear file if you have broken your finger?

- What are you talking about? - You said that in your testimony.

- That she gave Särn an ear file. - Yes, she did too.

And she didn't have a bloody broken finger!

Who the hell says that? Is it Särn or?

- No. - No...

Because you've apparently started listening to him a hell of a lot.

And now you say I'm lying. Is that what you think, Erik?

- That I'm making things up? - I'm just trying to get the truth out.

Yes, the truth... For 15 years we have suffered.

15 years, Erik.

Do you want the rest of our lives to be hell too?

Because that's exactly what you're doing, Erik.

You, I won't bother you anymore.

- How did it go? - How could I miss it?

Therese broke her finger when she was attacked, then she lived for at least a day.

Someone was holding her prisoner.

Now fuck it, brother! Now we go. Are you ready?

Jallo och Reino goes cruising.

What the hell...

What the hell!

- Where have you been? - Outside.

- You haven't done anything stupid, have you? - Why would I do that?

Because I can't stand any more trouble now.

I'm not the one arguing. Everyone else gives in to me.

Of...

I don't need that attitude from you either.

- Hey. How does it feel? - Too damn.

I'm completely broken as hell. Hurts like hell.

Hello. - I said so. What were you going there to do?

Instead, help me stop this.

It's your damn fault it turned out like this.

If I'm going to take the one who actually did it-

-you have to start telling the truth about what happened when you met Therese

- Who says I'm lying? - Me.

If you have time to hang out for a while, we can talk a little.

- Servant, Joar! - What the hell is he doing here?

I'm working with Erik on this. He says you intend to be honest.

Sit down, have some coffee.

The last time you saw Therese was when she was going out for a run, right?

Pål says you argued about something.

We had a blast. Like you do when you hate your neighbors.

I do not remember. It was nothing important. What does it matter?

Pål says that Therese gave you an ear file, do you remember it?

Now you're lying.

- Is this some fucking interrogation? - I also think you're lying.

Fuck off! Did you bring me here just to interrogate me?

I've got a rise!

I think you're lying because that ear file would give you a motive.

It would be just like people here say.

That you couldn't take her putting you on the spot.

But you would be offended and go into the forest and wait for her.

Yes, she turned on me but I didn't kill her.

- But you followed her? - Where the hell did you get air from?

Joar...

No, I didn't follow her... I just drove around.

Come on now! You didn't drive around the cross for several hours.

Where were you going? It has to do with everything else, right?

The thing you argued with Therese about-

-and what you then left to do.

Therese was pissed because I had sold some damn anabolics.

She said she was going to send the cop on me and I had some thack-

-and pills at home. I had to dump it.

Where had she heard that you were selling anabolics?

They talk to each other well, those exercise geeks.

Reino, Linus, Therese.

Now wait... What did they have to do with anabolics?

Therese gaped that it was my fault that Jallo's brother Reino-

- ends up in a wheelchair. It was probably Linus who had said something.

Do you know this?

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner.

No danger. That's not why I'm here.

I'm a little curious about Reino and that accident that happened.

I thought the forest was your life now. What are you doing now?

I try to put out fires.

I am the one who created this situation-

-and it won't be resolved until people get answers.

- What kind of answer do you want to give them? - Who murdered Therese? Was it Särn?

- What does that have to do with Reino? - No clue.

Can't you tell me? So, what happened.

I can't do that. We made an agreement with the family.

So I am prevented from talking about it.

It is usually the companies that profit the most from such agreements.

What is it that you have to hide?

Have you met Reino? We do everything we can-

- so that he can put this behind him.

Leave behind what? That he took anabolics?

Reino was a great hockey talent. Both he and Linus trained.

But Reino was the most gifted of them.

So when he got a contract with Östersund, there was a hell of a cheer.

Both worked out here, figure they're going to celebrate-

-cracks a few beers.

Reino climbs onto the logs.

Stands up there and shouts that he is "king of the world".

The log gets rolling and he gets everything over him.

Such workplace accidents must be investigated, right?

Now this happened after work.

So there is no investigation showing that Reino-

-mixed spirits and anabolics? Because that's what he did, right?

You, I have taken my responsibility and more.

Reino's family didn't want the anabolic thing to come out.

No one had anything to complain about.

- Except Therese. - What does she have to do with this?

She seems to have had quite strong feelings about this doping thing.

And if someone tries to keep it a secret...

Yes, it almost sounds like a motive.

Now this was no big secret.

A lot of people knew, we just didn't talk about it.

You, I probably have to get back to the office now.

Well, Erik... This with your forest.

We probably can't take that job now.

I have other clients who don't like what you are doing.

We'll have to try again in the spring.

We were good, you and me. Do you remember that?

And.

I have something for you.

It could be a breakthrough in the investigation.

Therese had a fracture on her right middle finger -

-and according to her brother, she had n't broken anything before she disappeared.

This finger had begun to heal. So she should have lived-

-at least two or three days after she disappeared.

How do you know she had a fracture?

Now if she was alive when Särn was arrested-

-then it can't be Särn who has murdered her.

Erik, you quote the autopsy report verbatim.

You couldn't help snooping through my things, could you?

Okay sorry. But it doesn't matter, does it?

- It has led to something good. - Särn was held for 48 hours.

Then we were forced to let him go. He had two days to-

-to do exactly what he wanted with Therese, before he was arrested.

If you had snooped a little more, you would have known!

Nikki... Nikki, I'm sorry.

Hello! Can I help you?

Do you have pre-mixed washer fluid here?

It says away at the glycol there.

Ida, we need to talk.

- Aren't you going back to work? - No.

Yes, it applies to reporting the assault.

Yes, damn it. Come in! Sit down, sit down.

Yes, then we have it confirmed that all four of you were at Liza's from 8:30 p.m.

But according to... Thank you.

According to them, you are parting as friends.

I haven't found anyone who can corroborate your version.

Ask Erik. He was the one who found me.

Yes, although he arrived after the event itself.

- You don't know anyone else who...? - You can DNA test them.

Even if they have showered, there is still some shit left.

We do not have such resources in cases of abuse.

And there was no one at the restaurant we may have missed?

Your wife saw.

According to Liza, you just came there and had a few drinks.

She's lying and you know it.

How much did you drink that night? You had a blood alcohol level of 1.5.

I looked around the ditch. There are quite sharp rocks there.

If you are a little round underfoot, you can easily step wrong.

Okay. Then we will run out of investigative reports.

But if something new appears, we will of course look at it.

- Are you going to let him get away? - Words against words.

You, Bäckström... Is this about us?

What are you talking about?

You know exactly what I'm talking about.

Unfortunately. I have no fucking idea.

Thanks for the coffee.

Leah?

Leah, the old lady?

- Can't you find her? - No, can she be in?

No. I'll see if maybe someone has picked her up already.

I can't find her, Peter.

They say she might be on the other side of the fence!

Leah?

Away from the water! Leah, watch the water!

What are you doing? Come on!

You... What are you doing?

Don't you realize how dangerous it is to be down there all by yourself?

You... Honey, I'm sorry.

Dad just got a little scared.

- You can't disappear like that. - No, I won't.

- How did you get over the fence? - From Mållgan!

- Leah disappeared from kindergarten today. - What the hell are you saying?

Yes, but it went well. We found her by the water.

Down by the water? What had happened, then?

Yes, she hadn't gotten there herself. It was Särn.

- Did anyone see him do it? - No, but Peter is convinced.

Come on, Karin. She's a little cheater.

As soon as you turn your back, she pulls.

- I believe in Peter. - He shouldn't talk about such things...

...before he is absolutely sure. Särn was badly beaten!

Because the police station leaks like a sieve.

- What happens next time? - Is it Särn you're worried about?

I worry about Peter.

Now if he is so damn sure he should report it and investigate it.

He didn't want that. I had to promise not to say anything.

Not even to you and that worries me, Erik.

- What are you arguing about? - About Särn.

He's an idiot, but shouldn't be punished for something he didn't do.

Many are upset that he has moved back.

It does not matter. Peter should not protect those who abused Särn.

He has to do his job.

- Was that why he took Leah? - Now if he did.

Because Peter is protecting... Erik, damn it.

If so, you must be able to put aside your quarrel-

-before something even worse happens!

Polis!

We have a warrant for a search warrant.

We are looking for a hunting rifle, a Mauser.

I'll take the upstairs.

Tell me where the rifle is. Then you will avoid this.

There is no fucking gun.

Continue inside the bedroom.

You don't touch anything until we're done here... Give me that.

I thought it was a rifle you were looking for.

- It's a bit small, I think. - Give it to me.

It's quite private.

They were all of legal age. She was damn pretty.

She is old now.

Lisa, yes. It was a favorite.

When she drank, she became completely unrestrained.

Agreed to anything.

- Hey. Do you have a second? - Sure.

Damn... Did you hear about Jallo? The car? It exploded.

The whole damn engine just squealed. He thought he was going to die.

- Do you think it's a coincidence? - Why hasn't he reported it?

Why should he report? I mean, what the hell are you going to do about it?

There is no evidence, nothing.

Everyone knows who it is, but we can't do anything about it.

No...

Then Liza told me about Leah.

That he took her from kindergarten and left her by the water.

It's a sick bastard. He's really fucking sick.

He will come after me, attack me. I know that.

If he does and it was one of my...

- Now don't do anything you won't regret. - Can you carry this out to the car?

I must go.

But you, Peter... Did you report it to the police then? About Leah and that?

Get rid of that. You shouldn't do that . They can fix it.

"The"? Do you think anyone will clean here if I don't?

Stop. You, I'm going to call a journalist who can take pictures.

So everyone can see how ass-fucked you and the mother are.

Damn the state... What is it?

Whose fault is it? Theirs or yours?

- Yes, I thought you were on my side. - Ida has always stood by your side.

She has defended you, no matter what you have put us through.

Yes, after you entered me. You lied to the police.

How can you live with yourself?

If I were you, I'd just turn off the oxygen.

Hear... What do you and your mother say to each other?

When I'm not here.

You come home after 15 years and smash everything.

- You have turned everyone against us. - U.S?

Is it the two of you who have been sitting on the shack for almost 20 years?

I got fired for scaring away customers. Because I'm your sister.

Yeah... Sad. What do you want me to do? Move from here?

Have you also started to believe it now? Little shit...

- Do you think I did? - No, but everyone is talking about it.

I am freed. It doesn't matter what everyone says!

But that you too! I hear that you have been talking to me!

They looked down on us, the whole damn bunch. Therese too.

She laughed at you. Did you know that, Ida?

I defended you every damn time.

You too, mom! I stood up for us!

She didn't deserve to die for that.

Maybe not, but now that's how it turned out.

Did you do it?

Yeah, what the hell do you think?

You bastard!

I shot her in the head and then when she was dead-

-I cut her into little fucking pieces! There were only jelly lumps left!

Now you pack your things and leave here!

I never want to see you again! Do you hear it?!

It will be best this way... It will be.

You, I was wondering if you would like to come here next weekend?

We could pull up some crayfish like we usually do.

It sounds great, but I have a lot to study.

Yes, but you can study here. You can do exactly what you want.

- Huh? - Hello?

What did you say?

We can hear about that, right? I must go now.

And and.

Absolutely. Yes, but we'll see you later.

I love you.

Damn, I knew it.

An old man found a lot of drugs in an old barn in 2011.

I didn't connect it with Särn at the time, he had been in prison for five years.

That barn... It's inside my circle.

Was this door lockable back in the day?

It's not something I remember off the top of my head.

Yes... Where did he keep Therese locked up then?

I do not know. Yes, we might find something.

"Kanske"?

Is that what you've dragged me here in the middle of the night for?

Come on now. We can find something.

Can you shine here? I don't want to step on any nails.

- What are you looking for then? - Anything.

A clue.

So, what is this? Why are you doing this anyway?

Is it to get redress and be accepted again?

What the hell do you mean?

If you put Särn there, the whole village will cheer.

Then people say: "That Richardsson wasn't so fucking stupid after all."

How about you? I recognize you when you're like this.

Just because you feel like shit, everyone should be run over by the steamroller Bäckström.

What is it like to face self-loathing every time you look in the mirror?

- You don't know what you're talking about. - I know exactly that.

Now if it's about a vindication, what the hell is wrong with that?

- Drive forward a little first and take a bet. - Please! Stop it!

Stop, stop...

Spring.

Do you want to check it out?

It was like hell.

Be careful... Damn.

Yes, who the hell could have believed that, Bäckström?

That bastard lied.

- I open! - Yes, Leah! Running!

Gosh. Is it this little princess's birthday today?

Is she the one who will have the package then? Congratulations!

I'll take it that long and we'll open it with the others. Okay?

- Is the present from both of you? - What?

- Yes? Has he not told? - Have you met anyone?

Yes, you can say that... Richardsson.

- They are very cute together. - Richardson?

Yes, he worked locally here 15 years ago with Therese.

When I was at the National Criminal Investigation Department. I have checked records with him.

It was a nice gift you gave us. Särn's rifle.

- What you didn't think existed. - I never said that.

But I don't think he's ever used it against anyone.

Senseless that you are still defending him.

Särn has no idea how Therese was shot.

- Children's party. - When did this happen?

- It does not matter. Let it go. - No, when did he manage to convince you?

Now it's time to open presents!

- I'll open this. - It's from grandfather.

Åh, yes, yes.

- What do you think it could be? - A new lamp! I got a new lamp!

Did you get?

- Look. What is that? - Sleeping lamp.

- Yes, and what is it? - A moon.

And stars.

Leah. Now Elsa is going home. Are you coming to say hello?

- Was it nice? - Mm.

Särn is sick. Do not defend him in front of my wife, in my home.

But put it down now, dammit. Your daughter's birthday! Get it together.

How the hell can you not see what those around you are going through?

It's all about you! You got Särn wrongly convicted-

And now you become completely blind to what he is!

When you shave off the abuse, is that justice?

Everyone wants Särn to leave! Nobody wants him here!

Now if everyone already knows what is wrong to do-

-what the hell are you needed for? Is that the kind of world you want?

Just enough people hate you, then you will die?

- There is a reason for the hatred! - Yeah.

But as a police officer, you have to think beyond your silly impulses!

Sorry, Peter, but if you keep thinking like this-

-then you're not a cop anymore. You are Särn!

- You, Peter... - Stop now. This is not fun.

You hear how he's doing. He has to endure a little.

Yes, but not me.

Am I Särn?! Huh? How do you feel now that you know you are going to die?

You may never see your family again! How does it feel? Is that who I am?

What are you doing you bastard?! You're threatening me, huh?

Haven't you learned anything?

Do you want to shoot me? Huh? Do you want that?

What the hell is wrong with you? What has happened, Peter?

Go away.

- What happened in the forest? - Go!

Something has come up that I'd like to talk to you about.

No no. It's just you and me.

- You said you had good news. - Yes, that applies to Peter.

Your fucking nephew. What has he done now?

Come, let's go for a walk.

I'm fine sitting here.

Show some fucking respect. Pick it up there.

Come, I'll show you something. Is your grandfather here?

Yep. Your mother too?

I hate your goddamn grandpa more than I hate my own father.

Yes. I have sat innocent for almost 20 years for your damn hate.

Yes, I have thought a lot over the years.

If it was the emotions that ruled me.

It was a perfect place you chose. We all go here once.

I would like to know what happened in the forest.

It's so hard to know with you.

Knowing when you're telling the truth.

Well, there you are.

What just happened?

- With Therese? Nothing. - Between you and my nephew.

Nothing.

What did you do with him after you took his weapon?

Nothing, I just ran away.

Now you stop lying. What did you do with him?

I just threatened him a little. I put the gun in his mouth-

-but shot into the ground next to it. I didn't hurt him.

So you mock executed him?

Good night.

You were damn lucky there. I found your grandfather's rifle-

-so I think they want to talk to you about it.

You need to get better at choosing your enemies, Bäckström.

You, I protect my family.

Yes I understand it. She is very sweet and at the mercy of... Leah.

If you only entertain the thought of approaching Leah one more time-

-then I'll crush you, you bastard. Do you hear it?

Thank you, Eric. Now we take care of him.
