- Hey. - Hey.

Do you remember the swimmer that I spoke to?

Well, I sent her over an old school photo of Amelia. She confirmed her identity.

- I know her. I've met her more than once. - What?

She's been working with Mona, calling herself Mia.

But from before all of this started?

- She's been asking about the case. - Are you kidding me?

No.

So she might be involved in the Moberg killing.

If she got private lessons, she could've had a key.

And Elias's story about how he got his doesn't add up.

Exactly.

Maybe he got it from her.

They were in the same class.

What if she told him about the abuse and he wanted to help with Moberg?

[Rask] Hmm.

So how does Elias's death and Petterson fit into all of this?

[Rask] And how are Petterson and Mia connected?

[theme music plays]

Hey, what the hell happened last night?

Petterson never showed up for work today.

I think you need to rest, Rez.

- We should talk to Osei. - Talk to him about what?

I was pissed yesterday

because you let the prime suspect slip through our fingers,

- who I found, by the way! - You told me you're not feeling well.

What do you think's gonna happen if you tell Osei?

I'll lose my job.

Listen, I'm just trying to help.

[Reza] Yeah, well, this ain't fucking helping, Kurt,

so just worry about yourself.

Wallander.

The wiretap's been approved. They're setting it up now.

We'll have Petterson's work phone and his mobile.

Good.

About last night,

tough call not to intervene.

But it was the right one.

Thank you, sir.

Everything all right with Detective Abd Al-Rahman?

Yes. Why?

Good. He can take the first shift on the wiretap.

[Osei clears throat]

Where are we on Sören Fager?

He used an ATM a few hours ago. Nothing since, but we're looking for him.

Kurt! I got something.

Petterson just called someone.

[Petterson] It's okay. I have it under control.

[woman] No, no. This has gone too far. I can't.

[Kurt] It's Mia Holmgren.

[Mia] It's madness. We should go to the police.

- [Petterson] Don't do anything stupid. - So they know each other.

[Mia] Doesn't matter anyway.

Sooner or later, Sören will find me

and kill me.

[Kurt] Sören?

[Petterson] Don't worry. I'll take care of it.

I'm coming over. Just stay where you are, okay?

I have a plan.

[Mia] Okay.

[Kurt] Where is she?

[Kurt] I'm in position now, Rez.

[Reza] I'm pulling up now.

- [Kurt] Petterson's car is here. - [Reza] Yeah. I see it.

[Kurt] They're coming out now.

[Reza] Oh yes.

[camera clicking]

I'm on him. You take Mia.

[Reza] Copy that.

[Kurt] Petterson's heading out of town. Do you have eyes on Mia?

[Reza] Yeah. She's pulling into the parking garage

of TLM law firm as we speak.

[Kurt] Okay, great. Sit back and wait outside.

[Reza] All right.

[phone vibrating]

- Hey. - [Rask] Hey.

I found the connection between Mia Holmgren and Petterson.

After his discharge from the army,

he spent over a year and a half in a residential psychiatric program,

specializes in conditions like PTSD.

It was set up and funded by Edwin Holmgren.

- Mia worked there? - [Rask] No, she was on the program.

She was a resident too.

I'm on my way to talk to her. Meet me at her office.

Rez is already there.

- Petterson called Mia, and they met. - What?

[Kurt] Then they split up. He's watching her.

- I'm on Petterson. - [Rask] Good.

All right, just keep me posted.

- You can tell Rez I'm on my way. - [buzzer sounds]

Hey, Rez.

Rask is joining you. Anything new?

No, Mia's still in the office.

[tires squeal]

[phone dings]

Oh, shit!

[clears throat] Give me your keys.

- What? - Give me your fucking keys!

Fucking jog on!

[phone vibrating]

- Hey, Rez. - I found Sören.

- What? - He's heading south on 101 in a red Saab.

He must've been waiting for Mia down in the garage.

[Kurt] Hang on, I'll get Rask on the line too.

Rez is on Sören's tail.

- [Rask] Where are you exactly? - Just passing the golf club.

[Rask] I'm on my way.

Okay.

- Hold up, he's taking the exit to Arrie. - [Kurt] Arrie?

That's where I am. Just outside the village.

- [Rask] Okay, I'll be there soon. - Sören is coming for Petterson?

Or the other way around.

Hang back, Rez.

All right.

[Reza] Do you see him?

Yeah.

[exhales]

Fuck!

Sören's coming your way, Rez.

He's coming your way!

[Kurt] What the hell is going on, Rez?

[Reza] Sören just crashed the car.

[Kurt] Do you have eyes on the shooter?

It's Petterson, with a sniper rifle.

He's coming your way. Stay low.

[pants]

[Reza] I see Sören!

[Kurt] I'm on Petterson.

[Reza] Sören!

Sören! Stop!

I'm following Sören in the field!

Kurt, where are you?

[Kurt] I'm following Petterson.

He's in the field, still armed, looking for Sören.

He's moving towards the tree line.

I'm coming in from behind.

We'll take him from two sides. Can you get around him?

[Reza] I think so.

Rez, Petterson is changing direction.

Okay, I think he's headed towards the path.

Are you ready?

[labored breathing]

[Reza] I can't breathe.

- Rez, are you ready? - [grunts]

- [Reza] I can't breathe. - What's happening?

Rez, he's closing in.

[panting]

- [Kurt] Police! - [gun cocks]

Put the gun down!

Drop it.

Get on the ground.

Here, go.

[Kurt] Were you hit?

Hey.

Rez,

everything's all right.

I can't breathe, Kurt.

You can. I promise you. Just breathe.

Detective Abd Al-Rahman has gone home to rest for a few weeks.

And as for you, Detective Rask,

Internal Affairs have completed their investigation.

Their report does state that there were flaws

in the initial interrogations of Elias and Sören Fager.

But their final assessment is that a written warning

would be the appropriate consequence here.

As such, it is my pleasure to welcome you back to Major Crimes.

Elias Fager's funeral is tomorrow.

It will attract attention. It might be best if you don't go.

I don't have anything to hide.

Okay.

- [Osei] As for Petterson... - Yes?

Don't hold back.

Find his weak spot and push.

That's Katja Nilsson's phone.

Do you want to try and explain to me how you got it?

Found it in the street.

We have footage of you talking to her on the night Elias Fager was killed

and your DNA on her clothes. How do you explain that?

Are you an angry man, Joel?

You tried to join the force, but your applications were rejected.

Is this your idea of an interrogation?

I spent 15 years in the army.

I can teach you a few techniques, you know, that actually work.

Please.

[Petterson] I'm not surprised.

About what?

That it took you so long

to find me.

How did you know Katja Nilsson?

I didn't.

She just happened to be there.

So you told Katja to bring Elias with her.

Did you pay her?

If she'd followed my instructions, she'd still be alive.

[Kurt] How do you know Mia Holmgren?

I don't know her. I was just asking for directions.

[Petterson] It's okay. I have it under control.

[Mia] No, no, no. This has gone too far. I can't.

It's madness. We should go to the police.

[Petterson] Don't do anything stupid.

- [Mia] Doesn't... - She had nothing to do with this.

- It was all me. - Oh, so now you do know her.

Is Mia your girlfriend?

- No. - [Kurt] No?

- Then what is she to you? A friend? - More like an acquaintance.

You met her in a support group, didn't you?

Did she tell you why the boys attacked Jörgen Moberg?

Was it to help her?

No comment.

He's obviously lying about their relationship.

The question is, what was Mia's involvement?

Did she ask him to silence Elias?

Maybe. Maybe she panicked when Sören got out.

Well, we can definitely link Petterson to Elias and Katja.

- It'll be a lot more difficult with Mia. - If she's involved.

Could've been Petterson acting on impulse.

On the call, she said she wants to talk to us.

She might've felt that way in the moment. It could have changed.

Here's what we have. A recorded phone call between Petterson and Mia and the letters.

Rask, what's your take?

If we bring her in and she refuses to cooperate,

we may have just blown our best chance.

On the other hand, if we wait, we give her time to prepare her story.

[Kurt] Mia's a lawyer.

Like Rask says, we might only get one shot.

[Rask] Before we start,

I want to let you know that we understand the kind of pressure you must be under.

We know a lot, Mia.

Especially about Jörgen Moberg.

I can't begin to imagine how difficult that was for you,

but we need your help now.

Elias Fager. How did you two know each other?

We were in the same class.

[Rask] What did you mean when you wrote,

"This has to remain our secret."

"Thank you for saving my life"?

He did.

Before he showed up, my life was rubbish, but then that thing happened and...

I didn't want anyone to know that we were together.

It's important we know exactly how involved you are in this, Mia.

[Mia] No, no, no. This has gone too far. I can't.

It's madness. We should go to the police.

[Kurt] What's gone too far?

Did you ask Joel Petterson to help you?

Mia, this is your opportunity to take back control.

Joel's a friend.

He's been my support.

I think he was trying to help, but he's just made it worse.

Much worse.

- I had no idea that he planned to... - [door opens]

[Holmgren] Ah, Detectives.

I see you've started without me.

- Are you accusing my client of anything? - Not at all, sir.

We're just talking, getting some background on Elias Fager.

I'm afraid that's not gonna happen.

My office has done everything it can to assist your investigation.

Look. I have no problem with my name appearing in the press...

it's part of my job... but my daughter,

well, she has nothing to do with this.

I don't want to see her dragged into it.

Elias was just someone she happened to be at school with.

So, if you'll excuse us.

Mia, please, you have a choice.

Mia?

What are we looking at?

It's accounts for a shell company

registered to a solicitor's office in Panama City.

Regular payments went out every month to one Anton Nyberg,

aka Elias Fager.

They look after 50,000 companies like this.

It's next to impossible to work out the beneficial owners,

but thanks to a guy I met

at a digital forensic conference in Brazil... long story...

I managed to trace this particular company

back to a Mr. Edwin Holmgren.

[Rask] He paid Elias.

You know what happened.

Why did he have to die?

[Holmgren] Hey!

- You stay there. Stay there. - [Holmgren] Sören! No! No!

You stay there!

Stay there!

Put down the knife, Sören.

He's dead because of you.

- He didn't deserve to die. - No, he didn't.

Just do it. I can't take this anymore.

Now put the knife down, Sören.

He came to me. He wanted to tell you the truth.

I panicked. I couldn't bear the thought of what'd happen if people found out.

I never wanted him to...

If I knew what was gonna happen to Elias, I would've stopped it.

What did Elias wanna tell me?

[Elias] I promise you.

He'll never come near you again.

Thank you.

Elias said he could get you to come along

after your fight with Moberg.

The plan was to scare him.

I hid nearby.

I watched you go in.

Elias came back maybe half an hour later.

- It's all gone wrong. - What happened?

Sören was drinking. He passed out. I can't move him. Help me.

[wheezing]

[mumbles]

[Moberg] Help!

No!

[screams]

[crying]

Help me!

Elias felt terrible about lying to you, and he wanted to tell you the truth.

[Kurt] Put the knife down, Sören.

I used him.

He shouldn't have died.

Please.

[Rask] Sören.

You don't wanna do this.

[Mia] Elias tried to save me,

and he did

by blaming you.

Hey. Hey!

I'm just curious.

How can you stand it?

What?

Being here, knowing that justice wasn't served.

You made Elias sacrifice his own brother to protect your daughter, didn't you?

You were buying his silence.

I secured the futures of three children.

A 14-year-old boy was shielded from public opinion.

His 16-year-old drug-addict brother received care in juvenile prison,

was given a chance to build a new life, a new identity, and yeah,

yeah, I looked after my daughter. Why wouldn't I?

You dragged her into a lie she would have to bear her whole life.

In what way is that justice?

Would justice have been served if she'd come forward?

Her life would've been destroyed.

It would have been painful, yes, but now two people are dead.

Look, Amelia and Elias were children.

They were not responsible for their actions, not legally.

Now, if you find that unreasonable,

well, you're welcome to try and change our laws,

but until you do, we both serve under them.

That's bullshit, and you know it.

The only thing you cared about was your daughter and your name,

and Sören had to serve eight years for something Mia did.

Come back to me when you have a child, Wallander.

Jörgen Moberg was a pedophile who abused my little girl.

If that man is burning in hell right now, there is some justice in that,

don't you think?

And Katja Nilsson?

Where is her justice?

I could go for one of those.

Our boy was arrested this morning.

Taken straight to the airport.

I've been trying to contact Mia all day, but she's not picking up her phone.

I should have known.

Rich girl, fancy firm.

Why would she care?

Pro bono is just good PR.

I'm sorry.

He lied to survive, and now he's being punished for it.

I don't know if I can keep doing this.

You just took a hit.

A technical knockout.

Yeah, sometimes it's all right to stay down for a while.

You know, listening to the ref counting.

Can we please stop this?

Then you gotta get back in the ring, baby.

[Osei] Mia has formally admitted to her part in the Moberg killing,

but since she was a minor at the time, there will be no legal consequences,

and there's nothing to suggest she played an active part in Elias's death either.

As for Sören, he served time for a crime he didn't commit.

There'll be significant damages, but he'll have a case to answer

for breaking his parole.

And Holmgren?

There's no case there.

Mia's admitting to her part in all this, but she denies her father ever knew.

Elias and Katja died because of his lies.

And you found their killer.

Until there's evidence against Holmgren that holds up in a court of law,

justice will have to wait.

He perverted the course of justice.

[Osei] That's for a court to decide. You followed protocol and got the killer.

That reflects well on the entire unit.

Thank you.

Uh, Sam.

I just realized I didn't say thank you.

I know you put in a good word for me with IA.

[Osei] Wait.

Close the door.

[sighs]

I've gotta be honest...

I really didn't think it'd be a problem,

coming down here,

this.

But after what you said the other day I...

Oh, look, I'm really sorry. I was very emotional.

- It was deeply inappropriate. I apologize. - What happened?

Just shut me out, disappeared.

I spent years putting it behind me.

I tried not to say anything, but I couldn't help it.

I'm sorry. I know it's unfair.

But I suppose I wanted you to know that you didn't do anything wrong.

And that it wasn't your fault.

And that I really loved you.

And what do you feel now?

[scoffs]

I...

You should get that.

Iyawo!

[woman] This is News 24/7. How can I help you?

[reporter] Attorney General Edwin Holmgren has today resigned from his post.

[overlapping chatter]

I'm sorry. No comment.

[reporter] Holmgren's daughter has been linked to the murder of Jörgen Moberg.

And it was an anonymous source that gave information

that Holmgren represented the Fager boys to conceal the truth.

The source also claimed that Holmgren continued to pay Elias Fager to keep quiet

years after.

- [Reza] Hey. - Hey.

- Hey. How're you doing? - Very good, ma'am.

All right. I'm gonna meet you there. Don't be too long.

Welcome back.

So, Mia confessed, huh?

Yeah.

We'll likely never know how deeply she was involved.

Yeah.

Is Rask okay?

Are you okay?

I feel great, man.

I'm rested. I've been exercising again.

I feel really good, man.

[sighs]

Thank you.

For what?

For having my back.

Otherwise, I wouldn't still be here.

So come on, man. Bring it in.

- Good to have you here. - It's good to be back.

Good to be here.
