Bäckström (2020–…): Season 1, Episode 3 - Episode #1.3 - full transcript

Bäckström travels to Thailand to dig for clues about the circumstances around Jaidee's life and death. Meanwhile, the investigative team in Stockholm is following up on another lead - the missing Asian woman Mi Mi.

According to the
widower, Daniel Jonsson,

Jaidee was found dead after the tsunami.

- The question is ... - Who the hell is the woman on Of?rds?n?

- Maybe we could have lunch later?
-Gladly.

Boris Borovsky. Russian gangster in a gang led by "The Tsar".

They are behind the robbery.

- Is he corrupt? - Like a barrel of shit.

Nobody wants to punch holes in the barrel, in case it splashes.

Problem? What kind of problems then?

What's he like then? B?ckstr?m?

He's an old man, as it were.



But he is the best, at the moment.

- Or do you mean ...? -I just wondered.

He just seems soft.

You haven't taken his bait yet, have you?

I eat most things, but I'm careful about the best-before date.

-Good to know.
-He's coming.

Drive along Kyrkgatan in a northerly direction.

Yes, got him. We'll take over.

He's stopping.

ok. It's Boris.

H's gone into a Russian restaurant.
- I'll GPS him.

He'is coming!
He just went in and turned round.

-He'is gone. Did you get it done?

- Have you seen this person? -No.



Where the hell is he?

I haven't done anything.

What if it was Mi-Mi who stole the payroll?

- And Gerhard caught her.

They quarreled and
he murdered her.

But he wanted to
escape the police -

- and withdrew the report of the theft.

Good. Follow it up, and we'll do an assessmenrt tomorrow.

- What about the DNA test?
- I'm leaning on the NFC.

- He's meeting B?ckstr?m.
- We're having lunch.

-Half past nine? Yes, yes. ?B?ckstr?m's away.

Can I give you some good advice?
- Yes?

Find yourself some other friends.

Is Ankan here, then?

I don't think so. But I'll look.

Ok.

Hello. Is this Lost Property?

- Have you lost something then?

Just. My colleague Olsson is gone.

Okay.

Then ... I would need you to describe him.

Yes. He's big. Average intelligence, fairly amusing.

- Did you just say "fairly amusing"? - - Yes.

He is limping, so it looks funny.

Okay, I'll put: "Fuck you."

Have you ... been able to check the documentation I sent?

- What documentation? - About Gerhard.

- Did you send it here?
- I put your name on it.

Are you crazy? Nobody knows who I am here.

If Hwass finds out about this, you're fucked.

You didn't write that it's from you?

Have you sent confidential material and put your name on it?

- Fuck, I wrote a post-it note.
- A post-it note? Jesus Christ.

- What did it say?
- Something like "Hello. What's up, man?"

"Can you check out Gerhard's restaurant?" And a smiley.

And then I put one more smiley. And one of those sexy things.

"Cheers, Adam." -
- I've got it.

"Adam big fucking idiot Olzzon."

Okay. You think this is fun?

You know I have an irregular heartbeat.

I've started seeing a specialist.

I've been a bit concerned about it for a while.

Take a look at this.

This is my colleague, Olzzon.

My boss, Severin.

Are you the "Noodle"?
Noodle Severin.

Why are you called the "Noodle"?

Do you eat a lot of Asian food?
- Severin. Inspector Severin.

Do you know why he is called the "Noodle"?

- See you later!
- Fine.

B?ckstr?m is the swine. He was ...

With his wife? Fuck off ...

You've heard of B?ckstr?m's, huh?
- Yes!

"Supersalami."

I've been looking through Mi-Mi's restaurant's accounts.

Every quarter, they pay a ridiculous amount of money
for technical support.

To a company in Bangkok.

If we could make the connexion to Mi-Mi's family ...

If Gerhard paid out money because he killed Mi-Mi ...

What if it's hush-money?
That they're also involved?

Mum, I'm helping this Swedish police officer.
He's looking for Mi-Mi.

Do you know where she is?

Uncle policeman, I don't know.

I do not know anything.

I just want to have Mi-Mi's body.

So you think she's dead?

Anything else would be better
than her being dead.

Don't answer it!

Hello?

- Eight boxes for Khun Thanong! -OK!

They're talking about a meeting at the "Eagle's Nest".

They've found a buyer
for the warehouse.

Eagle's Nest?

There's a warehouse that Boris has visited three times.

On ?rnv?gen.
Eagle Road

The deal goes down at 10pm on Wednesday.
And the Tsar should be there.

Wednesday at ten.

Then we have time to reconnoittre and plan the operation.

Carlsson, you get to lead this one.

We've got him!
We've got the Tsar.

Sorry, I have to take this. Thank you, Nadja. And remember ...

Well! How's Jaidee going?
Hur g?r det med Jaidee = (my suggestion) How's the Jaidee case going

Well, it's going. But it seems like ...

It seems ... Daniel is telling the truth.

It looks as if the snob has told the truth.

- Can you hear me?
- I can't hear you.

What the hell? Wait!

So ... Do you hear me better now?

Hello?

Mi-Mi. There's something
about the family.

They have expensive durables that they can't afford.

Plus they're scared.

Either they've been threatened or they're being paid.

We have to check out Mi-Mi's husband and the restaurant.

Good. I'll give it to Olzzon.

How's it going with
the Russian devils?

Good. We've had a breakthrough.

We go in at ten on Wednesday evening.

- Oh, fuck!
- Are you back then?

- You deserve some of the credit. -Absolutely.

I'll just talk to Jaidee's mother.

-How nice. See you then.
-Ciao.

- It's sensitive.
-I know that.

But you understand my problem?
The DNA result is impossible.

Yes I understand.

We clearly have to get to the bottom of this.

But before we take the guys in for questioning ...

-Hello. -Hello.

But what mistakes
could have been made?

Or if I put it like this ...

What problems did they encounter with the identification?

There were problems in other countries,

where bodies were released
before tests had been done.

But not in this case. The Swedish police follow strict protocols.

If it says in the police report that we did DNA testing then we did

I've ordered another test, so we'll see what that says.

- I might get in touch again.
- Absolutely. Or with your dad.
h?r med din pappa = contact your dad

Sorry?

Erik actually had ultimate responsibility for the tsunami group.

Before you take the old guys in for cross-examination-

- They probably want Erik with him so he can defend himself.

-Didn't you know that?
- Yes, of course. But...

An honorable man with a good reputation. Say Hello for me.

Thank you.

Somebody! Help me! Help me!
Vem som helst! = Anyone!

What are you doing?

This is the interview with the scout leader.

Nadja said it would be here.

He chews them to mask his breath.

Now we need two glasses.

When the cat's away ...

Or?

- Should I be honest? - Please do.

I can't stand the old bastard.

I've been told he's dirty.

He cheats on the timesheets and steals from the bets kitty.

And sells information to the media.

Nadja said he was flying business-class because of his slipped disc.

But there's nothing wrong with his back.

So you were looking for evidence?

- Yes, but it was completely empty.
That says a lot.

If there's one thing he is good at, it's avoiding paperwork.

Being drunk during an investigation...

Have you really thought this through?

If you started an internal investigation ...

he'd be reprimanded, but he'd never be brought down.

And you would have a mortal enemy.

One thing I've learned as a police officer...

is that if you draw your weapon you have to kill.

Really?

No, I mean ... You have to be prepared to kill.

Of course, you can't just shoot to say hello.

Weapons are the last thing you should ...

- Help me, then.
- What with?

You're closest to him. If anyone can find his shit ...

- If there is any shit.
What do you think?

You know ... With B?ckstr?m away, the department is wide open to you.

You want me just to have him caught after everything I've explained.

He's full of shit.

Sooner or later, it'll splash over you.

Thanks for the whisky. It's warming.

Can I get the register of hotel guests -

?From the day of the 2004 tsunami?

B?ckstr?m.

Hey! It's Adam. Olzzon.
Olsson is with me too. On the speaker.

- Hi, B?ckstr?m.
- What the hell do you want?

We've got a warrant to search Mi-Mi's Restaurant.

We noticed something else.

Gerhard has applied for Mi-Mi to be declared dead.
His wife, in other words.

- Why?
- She owns half the restaurant.

- Until she's pronounced dead ... - He can't get at her share.

That's as good a motive as any. Good work.

-B?ckstr?m? Are you still there?
-Yes I'm here.

- How is Bangkok?
- Google it.

poor reception.

No, anyone who has had the most contact with customers.

The manager is the guy in a suit over there. His name is Samson.

- What are we waiting for? - Let them eat in peace.

The guests haven't done anything.

We do this my way. Quiet and dignified.

No, unfortunately, I don't know, but I'll ask my colleagues.

-Thank you. -Thank you thank you. Hey!

Wait!

Open up! Police!

The back door!

Go!

-Where is he? Where is he?!
-Toilet!

-Gerhard! Open up! -No!

No!

No! No!

- Dignified as requested.
Take him. -No!

No!

-Hello! -Hello. Tina?

-Has something happened?
- I just wanted to hear your voice.

Where are you?

- A bit lost.
- Do you want to come over?

Or I can come to you.

Tomorrow. I'm home on Wednesday.

- It's Wednesday tomorrow.
-From where?

It is an important raid. I have to be home by then.

Have you been drinking?

Evert, you don't sound like yourself.

- Maybe you could ... - Not like myself ...

Evert?

Evert?

Evert? Are you still there?

- It wasn't her.
- Who?

It wasn't her who died here.
- What?
- It wasn't Jaidee.
