Bäckström (2020–…): Season 1, Episode 5 - Episode #1.5 - full transcript

According to the Swedish tsunami police, Jaidee perished in the tsunami. Wrong.

Erik was responsible for the tsunami group and their work.

We need that DNA answer.

I sent it today. To your investigative leader.

Hwass.

Bäckström stole some art from a crime scene. Severin was there.

Someone on the inside knew we were going to strike.

You mean someone leaked from here?
- You're suspended.

Let me go!

- Maybe we should run away? - No, running away ... It's not possible.

- I've committed burglary.
Oi! Stop!



- Stop, I'm telling you! - Now they're coming!

Edvin! Hello?

Edvin! Are you still there?

What the hell is going on? Edvin, where did you go?

-Hello? -No stop. What does ...? Ouch!

Ouch! Stop!

My dad plays billiards here.

I don't want to die where my dad plays pool!

Wait, yes, okay, I understand. - Yeah, I think I know where he is.

Take a right up here.

No! No! Help!

In there. Pool.ball. Stop here.

Edvin!

Edvin?



-Edvin? -Edvin!

Here.

Edvin. Hello, hey. What happened?

Has someone hurt you? Son?

- No, I'm okay. But ...
- oh, that.

Sod that, it could happen to anyone.

Do you know who it was?

But hell, they scared the shit out of him here.

Should we go home and you can tell us on the way?

- Will that be ok?
- Yes.

Don't worry about that for now.

Haqvin's office? Why did you break in there?

Because I saw a picture of Bullen's pilsner sausage on the investigation board -

- And next to it was a photo of Haqvin.

He once told me that when he was little -

- he played at treasure hunts
with Bullen's pilsner sausage -

- On Ofärdsön.

And I thought he might have hidden the can in the underground store.

I believe he hid the body there too.

And then I found an old can-opener in his office.

- A can opener?
- Go on.

And a photo of Haqvin and an Asian woman.

I think it's Jaidee.

- Where are the the photos?
- In my rucksack.

Which the driver took?

- Yes, fuck it.
- Yes.

- But it doesn't matter.
- Because I took pictures of them.

Of the photos? Good job!

Yes, master detective.

- What's that?
- Look at the next one.

So Haqvin knew Jaidee.
So when he realized what you had found -

- then he panicked and went after you.

Do we know if it was him driving the car?

Soon. Edvin got half the registration number.

Great! I'll call Olzzon and get him to look for the car owner.

So we take Haqvin in for questioning so fucking fast.

- Do we?
- Isn't it clear as fuck?

Only he knew the secret store.

You're forgetting one thing.
You're suspended.

- Thanks.
- Wait till I get hold of the pigs.

- See you, Edvin
- Bye!

Sleep well now, son.

Hey, I have to take care of a delivery tomorrow.

So could Edvin stay with you?

So he doesn't have to be alone.

Absolutely, no problem.
He's always welcome.

Yes, but then you have to make sure my suspension is cancelled.

Why? It's Toivonen's decision, not mine.

Make it yours.

Or do you think I should show him this?

The DNA analysis that you forgot to mention.

How did you get it?

I can tell you that when we go up and talk to Toivonen.

Oh! How about showing Toivonen this instead?

What? I was there to take fingerprints.

Well, were you there to take fingerprints from those too? The candlesticks?

What do you think the headline will be?

"The TV star from 'Stakeout' turns out to be an art thief."

Whether I'm shut down or not, you can bring Haqvin in for questioning.

- Yes, as soon as ...
- And Daniel Johnson too!

- For fraud.
- Stay away from my investigation.

Yes, if you keep me informed.

Ok fine. Then we have a deal.

Swap?

So you moonlight as an art thief?

I happened to hear you and Hwass yesterday.

Yes, but you can't bloody well steal from a thief.

Fredrik Djup staged the burglary all by himself.

He gets his cars stolen as well as his wife's jewels.

Then he turns over the insurance company for a few million -

- at the same time as he buys the shit back for peanuts.

It sounds like he got what he deserved.

Yes, I think you can say that.

Then I think so too.

What do you think about a quick snuggle before lunch?

It sounds wonderful, but I have to work.

- Oh bugger that.
- No, I have to.

Come in.

- Welcome to my new office.
- Fuck you.

You see, my career is going dead straight.

Yes, we need to get on with this now.

What are you doing?

This is ... It's ... my bad.

I needed help with the registration number and so -

- And Olsson is much better at internal spying, so ...

Well. What did it tell us, then?

Yes, with the help of half the reg number and the make, I ran - ...

- He's been up all night.
- Yes.

All the surveillance images from the addresses provided by Edvin.

And?

And the owner is a 41-year-old man by the name ... Let me see.

Olof Hansson.

- Are you sure about that?
- Yes.

- OK, we'll see you at the morning meeting soon, then.
- Yes

- And you too, Olsson. - Okay.

Unless you think we should meet here instead.

Olof Hansson is listed as the owner of it and fifty-three other cars. He is...

A fucking classic goalie, yes.

Now we're hoping for another connection to Haqvin.

Yes, but just take him in for questioning.

We have to get more on him.

Before he goes after another nine-year-old?

Remember. We do as I say.

- What's happening?
- I have to get to work too.

I'm going to get a fucking murderer.

- No ...
- Everything okay?

- Yes.
- Welcome back.

So, now that we finally have confirmation from NFC -

– That it's Jaidee who was found on the island of Ofärdsön.

-Yes.
- But hold on, what?

So the DNA samples from Thailand, then? Are they fake, or what?

He tricked the tsunami police with hair from Jaidee's comb—

–And saliva from a toothbrush.

The ones responsible should be ashamed for as long as they live.

Focus on the one who carried out the fraud - Daniel Johnson.

- I want to take him in for questioning.
- Good idea.

But unfortunately he's in Lithuania on diplomatic business.

But we're in contact with his sister Sara Johnson –

- who visits Daniel's stepfather Sven-Erik.

Who's close to death.

But they have both agreed to talk to us.

- Will you take it, then?
– With Olsson?

Yeah yeah. How's the search for suspects living around Lake Mälaren going, then?

It is like finding the right needle in a stack of needles.

Focus on the ones with previous convictions.

I'm doing that, but the islands are full of them.

Bäckström. Anyone know when he'll reappear?

No, nobody knows.

- Listen, I'm gona put on a pot, right?
- Do it.

- Anyone know what he's done?
- No.

Yes... No.

Yes, okay. Yes...

No, they've been following Boris for more than a day now.

He's not doing anything.
At least he's not meeting the Tsar.

We've got to find another way in.

Isn't there another idiot we can follow?

We might have one here.

Hey you ... I may be a little late back tonight.

I thought if you ...
- You can take this.

Yes, if you have no other plans for the evening.

- No.
- So we'll see each other tonight?

Ok, then you can take this.

You just hold it against ...
Come on, I'll show you.

So. You just hold it like this.

The alarm is silenced and then the door opens.

Thank you.

- See you.
- See you later.

- Did you forget something ...?
- Hello. What? No.

But Dad said I'd be here today.

- Or are you off somewhere?
- No, apparently not.

Why can't I come to the scout hut?

I know which bus to take.

I can't take you with me when I have to confront a suspected killer.

- When can you do it instead?
- Another time.

You promised Dad you'd sort out the kidnapper.

I can't put you in danger, Edvin.

But ... The two of us are the only ones who can solve this.

That's what you said.

You and me.

If we do this, you have to promise me one thing.

Don't talk so much.

We're not going off on some fucking hike,
you know that, right?

Hi there. Where you going?

- I'm coming back.
- How'd you fix that?

Hwass.

- Did she help you?
- I helped her.

Then we'll see ...
You might want this?

Okay ...
So... deal, yeah?

Have a good one.

Hey! So, I've been thinking.

It doesn't have to be some fancy office,
just one with windows.

Come over here.

Thank you so much for your courage -

- but I've decided that I need to keep the film for a while.

- Film?
- Yes, the you sent me.

- Didn't you send an email yesterday?
- No.

No, but I've been thinking
and I've made up my mind.

I'm going along to the
internal investigation -

- and I'll tell them everything.

How nice. But as I said, we sit tight for the moment.

And I'm still down there.
For the moment?

The boat is gone. He's not here.

No. Then we wait.

Crappy weather. Come on up where there's shelter.

Have you got a moment to talk?

- Where have you got your backup?
- I have no backup.

Then I'll give you a free lesson in police work.

Never play alone with the big boys.

Owowowow..ok ok ...

- A beer for him here.
The lady should also have one.

You can't sit here without a beer.

I know it was you who gave us Boris and his comrades.

And I know four of them were involved in the robbery.

But we still have no names.

And the Tsar? You don't happen to know where he has his base?

You know that what you're doing now is highly discriminatory.

You talk to Bäckström but not to me.

- You are not Bäckström.
- No, I'm anything but Bäckström.

You're not that different.

He never lets go of an investigation either.

As long as it's his own, yes.

You think Bäckström screwed your operation.

I think nothing.

He might sell himself to a hack sometimes.

But let himself be bribed by a bunch of Russians -

- when he's got the whole police force after him? ... No.

He's not that stupid or greedy.

- Oh, fior fuck's sake.
- What's up?

What? There's something in here. I can feel it.

- Hello.
- Hello.

Hi. No, God, sorry. In fact, I forgot you were coming.

- No worries.
Dad's pretty bad today.

I don't think he'll be able to talk to you.

We can talk to you instead.

Yes, okay. We can go in here.

- You have cats here, yeah?
- Yes, four in fact.

- So Jaidee was murdered?
- Who could do that?

That's what we're going to find out.

But ... and, and what does Daniel say, then?

We're going to interrogate him too.

We understand if it's hard to talk about your brother.

No, we don't keep in touch a lot.

He was adopted by dad when he was ten.

But we weren't a hsppy family.

Trust isn't Daniel's thing..

I can understand that.

His biological father abandoned him before he was even born.

And Karin, his mother, had to keep on working.

Worked full time and was never at home -

- so it was like he was completely abandoned as a child.

Dad did everything to be a good dad.

He probably hadn't set foot on a boat, yet he bought a yacht.

So the two of them would have have something to do together.

Dad drove back and forth to the scout hut.

Wait ... The Sea Scouts?

Yes. It was like Daniel's second home, you might say.

Did he have any friends there?

Did he ever talk about someone called Haqvin?

- I don't remember that?
- No.

Daniel really had no friends
At least, he had, but ...

He wouldn't let them get through to him.

Me and Dad couldn't.
Jaidee was the only one who could.

So when she died I actually thought -

- that he felt he'd been abandoned all over again.

Shall we read a little?
- What did they want?

Oh don't worry about it.

Has Daniel done something?

They asked if had any friends in the scouts.

- Haqvin?
- Yes, they mentioned him.

- Did her do something?
- But I don't know, Dad.

Now let's see ... "The vegetable trade is threatened."

So you're saying Haqvin and Daniel were best mates?

- We don't know how close they were -

- But they were at several
sailing camps together.

So through Daniel, Haqvin got to know Jaidee when they grew up -

- and so they became such good friends -

- that he took her sailing

Fuck it, he could have murdered her on the boat.

Orgasnise a warrant to search his house. Fast.

Absolutely. As soon as I can tie him to the attack on Edvin.

- Yes, but what the fuck...
- Bye.

Break-in at residence of Frederik Djup

Charged with tax fraud, acquitted on all counts,

Legal representative: Tomas Eriksson.

So this is where you're hiding.

Dad, what are you doing here?

You called and suggested lunch.

I waited for half an hour.

Sorry, I forgot. The investigation's got so busy now.

I heard you've been to NOA asking about the tsunami police.

They're good guys.
Their efforts were outstanding.

Absolutely.

It is an honor to have been their boss.

It was just routine. Nothing to do with the murder.

Dad, I'm really sorry.

There's been so much going on with ...

The investigation, yes.

Just hope it's not a let-down.

-Well hello! -Hello.

Long time no see.

-How long does he usually stay away?
-I don't know really.

Once he sailed around the world.

We can't wait around that long!

- What are you doing here?!

- Who's this?
- The janitor. He's so gross.

Evert Bäckström. Police. You might recognize me from TV.

This is Edvin, one of your sea scouts ...

We don't want lots of random people here. Not after yesterday.

Random people?
What happened yesterday?

- We had a break-in here!
- Oh dear ... Well ...

-Where?
- In one of the other buildings.

Did you report it to the police?

You'll have to ask Haqvin about that.

Wait! I'm talking to you here.

Where can I find this Haqvin?

- He's out with the boat.
- Ok, but hold on a moment.

- Do you know when he'll be back?
- No.

No. Thanks for the help. Hey, you know what?

I can come with youg and take a look at the scene of the break-in.

Maybe we'll find some clues so we can catch them.

I am a policeman, after all.
- Yes Yes.

You, get a fire going, you're a scout.

So we can get a move on with those sausages here. Okay?

... with the break-in. That he's really not playing fair.

But it was nice of you to show me what happened.

Hi.

You are a real pyromaniac.

It's not every day you get to sit like this and ... relax these days.

No.

- Dad hates excursions.
- He does? I don't think so.

He just works, even though it's the summer holidays.

He works to make things good for you.

He's concerned for his family. He wants everything good for them.

But being a child is not so easy.

And it's probably not so easy to be a dad either.

Are you going to be a dad now?

With her, Tina.

You'd better take care of your sausage can there.

- Here, bring a couple of hot dog rolls.
- Yes.

Look, these seem to be ready after all.

-Yes.
- Let's see if I can pick it up.

See how good this is?

My name is Annika Carlsson, from the police.

This man was here yesterday and had lunch. Would you know him again?

- You'd be better talking to Sonja.
- Sonja ...?

- She's not here.
- Okay.

But she'll be back in a bit ...

She'll be back later today? Okay.

I can have a look at this for a while. Thanks.

- A beer?
- Yes thank you. Great.

- And another vodka?
- No i's fine.

No wait, I'll have a small one.

- Ah, thank you.
- You're welcome. And a vodka.

Thanks.

What treasure hunt was Haqvin doing there?

They were playing pirates.

- On Ofärdsön?
- Mm.

They used to sail over there then pitch camp and swim -

- and then they played keel-hauling there, at the Deep Sea Trench.

That's where they threatened to throw you?

Mm. "The deepest point of the bay," Haqvin said.

Ofärdsön is a real adventure island,
but it was off-limits?

No, Haqvin decided that.

He's coming now.

Off you go and hide. I'll tidy up here.

- Why?
- I'll scare the shit out of him.

Can't I come?
I want to scare the shit out of him too.

I may have found the needle in the stack.

He doesn't have a boat, -

- but he does have a firearms conviction.

Apart from that, he's worked at the Sea Scouts for over 40 years.

Remember, if he sees you, get the hell out.

- And if it gets too scary, ...
- I'll yell for you.

Hey!

Stay right there!

What the hell are you doing ?!
Don't fuck with my stuff!

There, there, Haqvin.
Let's all calm down now.

Please sit down, so we can have a little chat.

Let's chat about Jaidee. Have you seen her before?

Who's this?

There's nothing you recognize?
- No.

Edvin. - What do you say about that?

The one you thought you'd taken back.

You look nice there, Haqvin.

I have a hard time believing that you went by the name of Piss-Qvin.

What a fucking nickname! Yeah? Piss-Qvin.

But you got it because you pissed the bed every night. Embarrassing.

But it can't have been so easy -

- to be at scout camp alone all summer.

Pisseing yourselff, bullied.
It must have been fantastic -

-When Daniel came along and took your side -

-And said everyone can piss themselves.

So it wasn't so strange that you started to look up to him.

Talk like him, dress like him.

Then when he got married to that piece of crumpet -

- you wanted her too.

- What the fuck?!
- Sorry.

I'm sorry ... I mean ...

You pawed at her and she got angry.

And you realised that Daniel would get to know about it.

And you couldn't let that happen -

- because then he would end your friendship -

- which was the most important thing you had. So you had no choice.

You murdered her.

This is ... totally insane! Fantasy!

Ofärdsön. You and your mates held some kind of treasure hunt there.

And at some point you hid a jar of pilsner sausage -

- which we have now found.
The jar.

In an overgrown underground store.
And in the same place -

- we found Jaidee's body.
You killed her -

- you hid her in your secret cellar -

- a place that only you knew.

- Admit it.
- I ...

I can't admit something I didn't do.

- Admit it, or else ...
- Or else what? What you gona do?

Are you gona shoot me?

Is someone who kidnaps children worth anything better?

I haven't kidnapped anyone!

Go ahead, shoot me then! Shoot me!!

- It's you who'll go inside.
- Me go inside?

Go ahead, Edvin. Shoot him.
Kids don't go to jail.

-What the hell...?
- Shoot his head off!

You're fucking insane!

- Edvin, stay calm.
- Take his head offl.

- Be careful!
- Children don't go to jail.

- Edvin, take your finger away from there.
- Shoot him!

Edvin!
- You're fucking crazy!

- Should we go after him?
- No, he'll keep.

Good work, Edvin.

You've been really brave today, son. Well done.

You're completely insane bringing a minor with you.

No problem.

- It's been terrific!
- We've been fully in control. Haven't we, Sund?

This is Sund.

He says Haqvin kept close to Daniel when they were here as kids.

Hi. Yes, they had their stuff together, those three.

- Three, did you say?
- Yes.

These three?

Yes, that's Daniel.
And that is Haqvin.

And the third one?

He's the one who's on TV with you.

- Tomas Eriksson?
- Yes.

Yes, but what the fuck? Let's see.

Fucking hell ...

You don't want to go that way.

If Bäckström is the problem, then you should get rid of it.

Noodle. Noodle Severin. He hates Bäckström.

Oh! Hello!

So it was you who sent the film.

What film are you talking about?

You offered to help me get rid of Bäckström.

Now I know why. You were a scout with Daniel Johnson ...

Yes Yes. Yes.
Yes, I can admit that.

That I was a sea scout for 25 years -

- with a few I haven't seen hide nor hair of since.

But then the question is:
What's the extent of the punishment?

Take bloody good care of yourself.

As soon as I get proof of how you're involved in this ...

... then you're fucked.

Thank you. Then you've let me know about it.

... went round and round and round and my hair got worse and worse.

It stuck straight out.

I think it sounds like an
absolutely wonderful day.

Going out in a boat ...

You should marry each other. Cheers!

No danger, the police are here.

- Police and drinking on duty?
- When else could you?

When you work all the time. When do you get time off?

- You wanted to talk to me.
- I did?

- Yes, about lunch.
- Yeah, that's great. Thanks!

Do you recognize this man?

Yes, he was here yesterday.

Good, I already knew that, but who's he usually here with?

Yesterday he was here with a man They sat over there.

- Anyone apart from this man?
- Yes, the one from TV. He was here too.

He sat at table eight and had borscht, she had a meat salad.

- Wait, she?
- He was here with a woman.

- Fuck ...
- Is that all, yes?

Tina?

Tina?

What the fuck's this? What do you want?

How the fuck did you get in here?

You're after us day and night.

It's tiring, both for us and you.

So how about we settle this in a friendly manner instead?

Here. You can pad out your police salary with this -

- in exchange for keeping us informed.

About the robbery investigation? I know fuck all ...

Bollocks. Bollocks!.

You have a simple choice.

Either you'll be a lot richer here and now -

- or you'll die, here and now.

Seriously, take it easy. I have no...

So you'll take the money? Good choice.

I'll fucking do anythingt! Just don't shoot me ...!

- Get up, get up!
- Don't shoot me!

Stand up, I said! You're fucking embarrassing.

What is it with these Swedish wimps?

Please forgive me...
