EMPLOYEE FILE SWEDISH POLICE AUTHORITY

LAST NAME: PALM FIRST NAME: ANDERS

Goddamn idiot.

You’ve reached Alfred Berg. Leave a message if you have to.

- Dad? - I found the bastard.

- He's at Roslags Näsby station. - Roslags Näsby?

Dammit.

The 01:27 service to Stockholm Östra is delayed by approximately eight minutes.

112. What service do you require?

Please.

Please, you've got to come quickly!

A little slower, please.

If you don't come, we'll die!

That's Hamrin.

Okay, this is important. No one is allowed to attend.

- We can't just let... - It's a trap!

What a fool.

EMERGENCY TELEPHONE

Anders Palm.

Stay right there!

Put your gun on the ground.

I said, stop!

Dad?

Put that away.

Away!

If anyone asks, I fired the shot. Okay?

- 112. What service do you require? - I need an ambulance.

- What has happened? - We got him. We got the 112-killer.

What's your location? Is anyone hurt?

Roslags Näsby train station. Gunshot wound to the abdomen.

Place him on his side with the gunshot wound facing down.

We did it, Dad. It's over.

BLOOD SACRIFICE

Very few details have been released about what exactly happened.

A man was arrested for the so-called 112 murders.

An individual is thought to have been shot

but no details of who shot whom have been provided.

Lucas Lind says that the police force is relieved.

that the 112-killer has finally been caught.

All right.

We got him.

First things first.

A reminder that everything stays within these four walls. Okay?

No gossiping in the bar or at home about the identity of our suspect.

Or what he does for a living. Okay?

- Yes. - Good.

Our task now is to find anything that can link Anders Palm to the murders.

We found blood and a knife in his car. Forensics are dealing with that.

Meanwhile, let's comb through his records, his HR file, his work shifts.

I want to know about his past, his shoe size, his personal life.

I want his property searched,

and anyone he's ever met needs to be interviewed.

- Let's get this bastard. - Yes, let's do it.

Good. And well done everyone.

You did really well. Okay.

- Shall we go through Anders' file? - Yes.

He's in the ICU at Karolinska Hospital.

He's had surgery for internal bleeding and is now in an induced a coma.

So we need to wait a few days before we can ask him why he did this.

The doctors think they can wake him up on Thursday at the earliest.

The prosecutor has just arrived.

- Who did we get? - Edvin Ceder.

The guy who wants to be everyone’s friend.

By the way, we found a cassette case in a bin at the station.

We must have missed it at first, but forensics are looking at it now.

Okay. Thanks.

Thomas.

You got him. Okay?

Hi.

- Thomas. - Hi.

Hi, buddy. How are you?

- Hi. Natalie. - Edvin Ceder. A pleasure.

Here he is, the man of the hour.

Sorry I'm late.

- We can let that slide today, I think. - Absolutely. Good job.

- Thanks. - The wording looks good.

But we are in agreement?

Let's not mention to the media that he's a police officer.

Of course.

- Please excuse us for a moment. - Sure.

Everything is in order, right?

- Nothing you need to tell me? - What do you mean?

The first patrol said that Alfred was there.

He happened to be with me last night.

Good.

Procedure says that I should be taken off duty.

- While everything is being reviewed. - Yes.

But I have a feeling the investigation is as good as solved anyway, Thomas.

We can confirm that we have detained a suspect for the so-called 112 murders.

That individual is receiving treatment for injuries sustained

during a confrontation in connection with the arrest.

Is this individual under arrest?

A formal arrest will be made once the suspect is conscious.

Is there anything you can tell us about the suspect?

We can not share any information regarding the suspect at this time.

But on behalf of the Stockholm Police and the victims' families,

we would like to extend our gratitude to Thomas Berg and his team...

- What the hell are you smiling about? - ...who worked tirelessly from day one.

Until last night's...

Are you okay?

You shot someone.

It would affect anyone.

I didn't fire the gun.

You didn't? Then who...?

No...

Alfred found him. Alfred shot him.

So what'll happen now?

I said I did it. So now we're both screwed.

He's going to love that.

When Palm wakes up, he's going to tell everyone it was Alfred who did it.

But you caught him?

You've caught a police killer.

There's nothing else you can do right now.

You'll find a way to explain it later.

Dad?

Hi.

Mom told me you caught the bad guy.

Yes, honey.

We caught him.

Can you read me another bedtime story?

Weren't you sleeping?

Okay.

Don't tell Mom.

This old story?

Okay.

Aren't you too old for this one?

- Nope. - "Nope."

All right.

Let's see.

Here.

"Once upon a time, there was a crow that walked on the ground and ate worms."

"Then that Persson named Persson showed up."

"'You can't be here. This is my flower bed. Go away!'"

WEDNESDAY

Why didn't you tell me it was a cop sooner?

It was a very sensitive situation.

I'm an officer. I know how confidentiality works.

- Yes, but the circumstances gave... - You lied to me, Thomas.

But we caught him.

That's what matters.

What's the problem? You were part of the team.

- You chose Natalie over me. - Come on.

And then when you realized you needed me,

you messaged me as if nothing had happened.

I found Anders Palm.

And yet you keep ignoring me.

Okay, you're right.

I should be more grateful. I am grateful, okay?

And I need your help, okay?

This is confidential, but we believe that

he was also responsible for the murder of Marina Jonsson in Söderhamn.

The guy they got, Falk, claims he saw a police officer at the scene.

I need someone to go and speak to him.

See if you can get him to confirm it was Anders he saw.

We need everything confirmed now.

I need you. Okay?

Good.

This is nice.

What is?

That I'm no longer solo parenting in the mornings, now you've caught him.

It's a relief not having to worry that I might end up solo parenting forever.

And you'll do it today?

You'll go to HR, get the forms, and start the process?

Yes, I said I'd do it, and I meant it.

Okay?

Well, I worked with Anders for three, maybe four years.

And?

"And"?

What do you want me to say?

Was he a strange guy?

No stranger than anyone else.

Was he violent?

He lost it a few times.

Did he have a negative opinion of the police force?

He did.

But we all complain about our employers, right?

Did he have a problem with other officers?

- What do you mean, "problem"? - Did he feel hatred towards the police?

Hatred? No.

But if you hate the police,

you probably don't share that with your police colleague.

- Did he speak about his personal life? - Sometimes.

He's divorced, lives alone, and has a daughter at university.

Same old. He'd talk about her occasionally.

He wanted to reconnect with her.

He mentioned a few times that he wanted to make her proud.

So you never saw Anders do anything suspicious?

No, but Anders had a tendency to go off on his own.

According to his timesheets, he was on duty the night of each murder.

With you.

Of course.

Anders would make up fake entries a lot.

"Fake"?

Yes, retrospectively.

Management had to nag him all the time.

When he finally filled them in, he just copied mine.

- Copied yours? - Yes.

And you never told management?

Do you remember what it was like working in uniform?

I don't snitch on my partner over timesheets.

Call me old-fashioned,

but despite our differences, I had his back.

Have you found anything?

Not yet. There were no cameras at the crime scene.

All right, keep looking.

Lucas wants to talk to you, by the way.

- Now? - Yes.

Well, I don't know what to say.

No, but “thanks” might be the closest thing, I think.

Yes.

Thanks.

- It's just... - It's a major step up, that's what it is.

- An unexpected one. - I don't think so.

This could be the most important investigation we've ever worked on.

That will follow us for the rest of our lives, for better or worse.

Hopefully just for the better. Cheers.

Cheers.

You do realize that you'll be higher in rank than your dad ever was?

- You deserve it. - Yeah, I'm not so sure about that.

No?

Maybe I should reconsider my recommendation for promotion, then?

If you don't deserve it, I mean.

I didn't think so.

Cheers.

For God's sake, Dad. Come on.

You've reached Alfred Berg. Leave a...

Where the hell are you?

Thank you once again for cooperating.

I want to see the person who killed Marina brought to justice just as much as you do.

Of course.

And it'll help me get out of here, right?

The police officer you described to the sketch artist a while back...

Would you be able to recognize him from a photograph?

Absolutely.

It would be a great help to us if you could do that.

Yes, I'd recognize him the second I saw him.

Remind me, you described him as...?

Well, white.

About 1.80. Beard. Dark hair.

So...

Was it this guy?

- Yes. It was him. - Are you absolutely certain?

Definitely.

There he is.

Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce the master detective, Thomas Berg.

The man who worked tirelessly from day one.

- Dad... - It's all thanks to him, and no one else.

No one else.

A hell of an achievement. Congratulations.

I'm such an idiot.

For imagining that you'd appreciate the goddamn risk I took for you.

Yeah, that's big of you. Many thanks.

I actually thought fathers were supposed to be proud of their sons.

And to want them to achieve things. Even more than they did.

But not you, right?

No, you want a version of yourself. But not so good that you get overshadowed.

- I don't need to worry about that. - No?

No, not at all.

It kills you that I'm getting so much attention.

That I'm a better and more respectable officer than you are.

What a load of crap.

What use are your killer instincts if you can't hold on to your job?

We both know you weren't fired because of "inappropriate language."

You assaulted a guy who saw you planting evidence.

- Against a man who killed his daughter. - You jeopardized the whole investigation.

- He would have been convicted. - I wanted to be sure.

- That makes you a bad cop. - No, it makes me a good dad.

- Really? When did you become... - A damn good dad. Do you hear me?

- When did that happen? - Shut up!

- What the hell is wrong with you? - Let go of me you, fucking prick!

- What the hell is wrong with you? - You're insane!

I'm sorry to bother you, but I can't get a hold of Thomas.

He asked me to go to Gävle to speak with Viktor Falk.

You have interviewed Falk?

Yes, I know about the connection with Söderhamn.

He asked me to find out if Falk recognized Anders.

Okay. I'm sure Thomas had good reason to disclose those suspicions to you.

- But all the progress... - There is no progress.

Falk didn't identify Anders.

He identified my brother-in-law who's been dead two years.

Falk has his own agenda.

It would've been good if he'd identified Anders, but it's not crucial.

There's something else.

The shoe prints pulled from the Rolander and Bengtsson murder scene were a 43.

Anders wears size 46.

Max...

You've got nothing to prove.

You only have a few years left. Just take it easy.

Hi. What was that about?

- Max? - Because you need to know everything?

Excuse me?

Isn't it enough to get me removed from the case I'm working on?

What? You are working on it.

- Besides, the case is solved. - It isn't.

What do you mean?

Anders isn't our killer.

You've reached the HR department. This is Victoria.

Thank you for calling back.

Yes, that's exactly why I wanted to speak to you.

Hi.

Judging by the look on your face,

I assume you're not here to discuss paternity leave.

I'm quitting.

Totally understandable.

I kept putting it off.

I thought I'd feel different when we finally caught the guy, but...

A bit of an anti-climax?

I wasn't expecting a guy like Anders.

He was hardly employee of the month, but from all the research I've been doing...

he was a dedicated cop.

- I just... - You just...?

I just don't see it.

Me neither.

Whoever did this... It feels personal.

- Persson? - Hi.

PERSONNEL RECORDS

So, John, you'd like to resign?

The last few weeks have been... not just hard.

I hate how it's affected my family.

It's been a very challenging time.

It's quite simple. You just need to fill in the form.

Make sure to include the reasons behind your resignation.

It's important for statistics.

Then you hand in the documents, and we can begin the process.

Just come back as soon as you're done.

Thanks again.

Hi. I've got this for you.

- You can press it against... - Oh, okay.

I'll just examine you before you go. Look straight ahead, please.

Good. Now follow my finger.

Sorry. It's Rosabubbla.

- Rosa... - Rosabubbla.

It's a fizzy gin that the kids drink on cruise ferries to Finland.

- That hurts as well? - Yeah.

Okay.

But...

You seem to have fared better.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

- The other guy was a senior citizen, so... - Yeah.

Okay. Well, I'll leave you, then. You're free to go.

- Yeah, thanks. - Bye.

No, thanks.

Anders Palm is in this hospital, isn't he?

His vital signs are good.

If he remains stable, we'll wake him up soon.

I'm sure you're very keen to speak to him.

His daughter arrived from Oslo yesterday.

- Does she know what he's been accused of? - Yes.

She refuses to believe it.

She says he was at the station to pick her up.

Apparently, they were going on a hunting trip.

Thanks.

The knives that were found in Anders' bag...

Have forensics come back on that?

I can't give you any more information about the case.

He was your suspect.

And now I'm fucked.

There's something about those heads.

By the way, did you leave me a postcard?

WORKPLACE HEALTH AND SAFETY REPORT

SECURITY PROTOCOL WAS NOT FOLLOWED.

IMPOSSIBLE TO SLEEP.

LONG-TERM STAFF SHORTAGE

It's important to have enough officers, to be able to work safely.

POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS

THREATENING SITUATIONS

How could this have been prevented?

Having enough staff on site could be one of the solutions.

But it is also the case that violence has become more extreme

and there's much less respect for human life.

FORM FOR COMMENTS AND COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE POLICE AUTHORITY

01:15 VIOLENT ARGUMENT IN AN...

THURSDAY

- Hi. - Hi.

Sit.

Listen...

Forensics have come back about the blood on the knives in Anders' car.

Okay.

It's not human blood.

It's elk blood.

There were no prints on the cassette case,

and nothing was found during the search of his property.

Too much posing for the cameras and not enough detective work.

I'm not the one saying this, Thomas. My members are.

- Your members? - Yes.

What happened to your face?

That's all circumstantial!

Thomas, calm down.

All other evidence...

Thomas, it's not enough.

Nobody's saying that you're wrong, we're just saying there's no proof.

They'll wake Anders up tomorrow. We'll interview him.

Most likely, we'll have a confession by tomorrow afternoon.

For Bengtsson and Rolander. For Söderhamn.

- For Söderhamn? - Yes, Söderhamn.

Yes?

Excuse me. I need to talk to one of your members.

Fucking idiot.

- What's going on? - I've found something on the CCTV.

It can't have been Anders.

I can't be completely sure. It's blurry, but...

Another officer must have dumped the cassette case.

Anders was in the hospital then.

Hang on.

- Just a minute, John. - It's important.

Thomas, wait.

The 112 call on Friday night didn't come from the train station.

- But we saw a phone. - That one doesn't work.

The call came from Hemfosa.

- Are you sure? - I'm positive. It's just been confirmed.

I think Max is right.

Max?

- Dammit. - Try again.

Do you have his wife's number?

- Hi. - Hi.

- Is Max home? - No.

He left early this morning.

Do you know where he went?

What did he say again?

- Hemfosa, I think. - Thanks.

- Hi. - Hi, John. What have you got?

- I got a hit. - Put him on speaker.

I found one cop in Hemfosa. Peter Johansson, born 1973.

He's been on sick leave since March after he made an internal complaint.

- Fuck. - What is it?

He never returned his uniform.

I'm sending you his photo now.

That's him, isn't it? He matches the descriptions we got.

- Yes, that's him. - Let me see.

All right, John. I need an exact address.

- Yes, I'm sending it now. - Thanks.

EMPLOYEE FILE SWEDISH POLICE AUTHORITY

- I don't have my service gun. - I have mine. It's fine. I'll cover you.

Hey!

Police.

- We're looking for Peter Johansson. - Peter?

This is the second time police have come looking for him today.

But he's not here.

Where is he?

Well, he's where he always is.

At his workshop. In the woods.

You should go take a look.

Be careful.

What the hell is this?

The shoes.

The same model as the ones at the crime scenes.

Fuck.

Max!

- Hi, welcome. - Thanks.

Thank you.

Max!

Max!

- Max! - Max!

Max!

Max!

Max!

No, no, no!

What a fucking cliché.

Thomas.

Thomas, please, you've got to help me.

Thomas!

Thomas, he says he's going to kill me.

He says he's going to kill us all.

Please, you have to help me.

Alfred.

Long time no see.

Remember me?

Peter Johansson.

Yes. Hi.

Hi.
