Det som göms i snö (2018–…): Season 1, Episode 4 - Episode #1.4 - full transcript
Peter tries to speak to the Minister of Justice about his involvement in the case and Barbro turns up a mysterious witness whose testimony takes the investigation in an unexpected direction
The knife that killed Roland Eklund...it's mine.
What happened when Urban and I were kids, did you tell anyone?
Even Ante doesn't know about it. You have to stop, Peter.
Urban took his life. You won't get him back.
The killer knows about the story of my father.
You are completely paranoid.
Temo was here yesterday. He asked me to spy on you.
Right.
- It was your fault. - Don't blame me.
- I was drunk, you were sober. - Sober? I was asleep.
Is it true that you also had Lars-Åke Vall as a patient?
Lars-Åke was not capable of murdering Fredrika Jensen.
- So you say. - Yes.
Lars-Åke Vall killed her.
Klas Levén is guilty of the murder of Fredrika Jensen.
And anyone who says otherwise is lying.
What the fuck kind of cop is that? Who wants to set a serial killer free?
- Nobody wants that. - Then what are they doing?
We can control this. It's not your responsibility.
What is not my responsibility?
You reviewed the judgments, but not the investigation. We have to be smart.
- You went by what the court was given. - What are you saying?
That maybe we should assume that one or more of the judgments are wrong.
Are you out of your mind?
I have reviewed them. I've put my name on them. They are correct.
But the police have pictures that prove otherwise.
There is nothing to say that Levene was not standing next to Vall...
when he took the photographs.
- I guess they both killed the girl. - But...
But what?
I won't let a damn conspiracy theory upset the truth.
It's about the rule of law in Sweden.
About the relatives of Leven's eight murder victims. It is about justice.
- What? - They've done an investigation...
- ...about trust in you. - What does it say?
- Hello. - I take it you've been watching TV?
No, I don't have a TV. I just think they show a lot of crap.
Did I miss something, or?
Lars-Åke Vall murdered the girl in Hallstavik.
- Is that so? - No, I'm not saying that.
The picture evidence says so.
Peter, shouldn't we just stop now?
We caught Eklund's killer this morning.
Eklund was defending a guy named Mehmet Gebri.
He got angry because Eklund didn't keep him from a conviction...
so he called and threatened to kill him.
The phone traffic ties him to the area and the time of the murder.
What about the note? Klas Levén is lying.
Yes, it was Gebri's attempt to dribble away the police. And it ...
- It worked pretty well. Damn it. - Do you believe it yourself?
We've proven you wrong in a murder. Seven to go.
I've read your hearings. It's not pretty.
You know as well as I do that all eight murders are under investigation by the JK.
And you know what that means.
Hi.
Is this really a good idea? He won't want to talk to you.
Klas Levén has murdered men, women, children, pensioners...
There is no pattern. There is only circumstantial evidence and set up interrogations...
to reinforce Levene's idiotic confession.
Stenius didn't even look at the preliminary investigations.
At most, he read one interrogation.
He's friends with the prosecutor and the lawyer.
When he approves the sentences, there's no chance...
to squeeze Temo or Kvarnholt.
Yes...
They'll never get caught for misconduct, and Temo knows it.
Whoa, whoa...
That's the least you can say.
I'm sorry for rushing up earlier.
But we need to get this straightened out.
Our bill was completely overlooked.
- Where is Markus? - Just make the call.
- He knows we're leaving now, right? - I'm a fucking cop!
- I'm sorry. - I'll go downstairs and make a call.
- Just call and tell them I'm here. - Peter! Peter! Peter, what are you doing here?
- I need to see Stenius. I'll take care of this. - I'll take care of this.
Let go!
Björn made a fool of himself, isn't that enough?
- Far from it! - I'm not joking!
- Neither am I! - Why are you whispering? - I'm not whispering!
How the hell can he sit on TV and defend Levene?
Just to save his own skin?
Where did Ann-Marie go?
- Was it Vall who killed the girl? - No doubt.
- Couldn't there have been two of them? - No!
We have about 30 pictures from all possible angles.
At least one killer goes free because of the idiots.
Probably it's worse than that.
Bjorn won't want to talk to you, so you'll have to email me.
I make no promises.
They've compiled the door knock where you were assaulted.
Temo focuses entirely on Gebri...
but a witness describes someone who sounds like Vall.
"The witness saw a man running towards his car".
"Blue jeans, dark gray jacket, and dark cap".
"Rather tall, slightly chubby posture. Older, about 60 years old".
"He ran away towards a car, a white Saab"...
"older model, probably a 9-3".
- What. - A white Saab, a 9-3.
- But it's one of Vall's. - I'm telling you.
I'm sorry I didn't come yesterday, I'm stuck in...
Yes, I understand that. No, no, I have the prospectus here.
I understand that you feel that way.
Why didn't he bring the pictures with him?
I can take an extra viewing tonight. I'll leave in half an hour.
Evidence that he murdered an eight-year-old.
Damn it. Krister? No, it was for someone else.
Hey, I'm really sorry, can I call you back in a little while?
Yes. I'm really sorry. Thank you. Thank you very much.
- What? - Vall. Why did he leave everything behind?
I don't fucking know.
I guess the most logical thing to do is to take them with you, or destroy them.
- He wasn't being entirely logical then, was he? - No, he wasn't.
Hi, Krister. Yes...
Wow! Well, it's not exactly south-facing. I'll get it.
Hey, that Vall left all the pictures behind?
- Drop it. Let's go. - I'd like to check something.
I have to go to Stockholm. Let it go!
That's one thing we haven't tried. Give me the keys.
Good, she's already here.
- What was so important? - My colleague...
I really don't know. Caijsa?
- Hi! - Hi, hi.
- It's a cadaver dog, isn't it? - Yeah.
Evert!
- Hey! - Take it, you bastard!
Fucking bitches!
Come on! Go!
Shit!
- Nice interview yesterday. - We need to talk.
Fucking right.
That's what I said. But you're not fucking listening to me.
They want to overturn the convictions and release the maniac.
- Don't say that. - This is how it starts.
Could you have gone wrong in the Fredrika murder?
Have you gone wrong? This is the boys' locker room.
- We want to...we can narrow this down. - Ann-Marie, we've discussed it.
If there were two of them fucking the girl, that's not a reason...
- ...to let one of them out. - There's no evidence that there were two of them.
No? What else can you tell me about my investigations?
Temo fucking caught Eklund's killer.
They were supposed to drop the shit about Levene then. Didn't you say that?
- The interrogations, how is it going with Gebri? - Well, it's progressing.
He's resisting, but we'll tie him to it.
All that's left to do is get psycho Peter and his gang of daddy's boys...
To stop tearing up thick police work.
Yes, hello.
- It's starting to look like a conspiracy. - Come on.
Temo and Stefan are my friends. I'm sorry if you got embarrassed.
- Happened to be embarrassed? - You can keep your job...
...if you can control your ex-husband.
What's the ultimatum? You can't demand it.
Yes, I can. It's about time we got some use out of you.
Go. She'll have to take a cab.
You know how dry it gets in the microwave...
but if you're patient you can get them juicy.
The plastic bag keeps the moisture in.
Running on low power...
Sometimes I set a cup of water to vaporize.
Then you can be sure to keep the liquid in the bulb.
- I don't get it. - What?
- Good, what? - Fantastic.
Why would a pedophile who got away with all this?
- What do you mean? - If you'd asked me this morning...
...I would have told you that Vall didn't kill Eklund. But with a witness...
- What about Vall's DNA on the knife? - Yeah, that too.
What can I do for you?
I want to check if someone other than me has access to my emails.
- Access to your emails? - Well...
I think someone got on my computer and read an email.
It was marked as read, even though I know I didn't read it.
Then it was suddenly marked as unread, before my eyes.
That sounds strange. The only one who should be able to read your emails is you.
You didn't give the password to anyone?
No!
So there's no other way to get into my computer?
- Yes, we can get in from here. - From here?
Yes, with the person's knowledge. If someone's got a virus...
or if any software needs to be updated.
But we never read anyone else's email.
- I have to take this. - Absolutely.
Håkan on IT. Yes...
- Yes? - We seem to have found something.
- You found Vall? - Maybe.
- Wasn't he in Stockholm? - No.
- And he couldn't have killed Eklund? - In that case, no.
No...
- Call me when you know more. Okay? - Good. Good. Bye.
Per!
Stop it! Stop this! You have no right to be here!
You can't do this! You can't, you can't!
You must not! You can't take him away from me!
No! No!
Have you also got sciatica?
Yesterday's day went to hell, by the way.
At least he liked Rikard.
- But are you okay, or...? - Just a bit lost.
If it's really Lars-Åke Vall who's in the well...
- That's it. - We're back to square one...
Maybe not all the way.
Witness?
He described a man who looked like Vall...
and who was also running towards a white Saab.
Exactly the same as Vall has. Or had.
- Mikael Ström? - Yes, that's right.
Hello. Barbro, from the police. It's about your witness information.
We would need to ask some additional questions.
- Peter Wendel. - Mikael.
Would you be a good fellow and pull it all again?
Yes...
I saw a man come running towards his car.
- What did he look like? - Stressed.
He looked around several times and was in a hurry...
but didn't want to show that he had.
- How was he dressed? - Blue jeans, black and gray jacket, boots.
Age, appearance?
Rather tall, a bit cocky posture and older. 60 years maybe.
Grey under the cap.
- Right! It was him. - Are you sure?
- Absolutely. One hundred percent. - Where did he go next?
- He ran to a car. - Model?
Saab 9-3.
Yes, okay. Thank you.
- Peter, he's lying. - Yeah, yeah, sit down.
I came to apologize. I crossed the line earlier today.
I don't know...
This is emotional for me, so I wasn't professional.
I want to apologize for my behavior, plain and simple.
It's important that we play on the same team here.
Yes! Of course it is.
Stefan, Temo and Roland, these are people I have known...
...in my entire professional life. Or almost.
I know. I understand if you want me to back off.
I can go back to my old position, if you want me to.
That shouldn't be necessary. But I'm glad you came here.
It's important to be able to admit mistakes.
Yes, exactly.
- What is it now? - I think it's pretty funny.
- What? - That we in the cold case group are...
Yes, we are a little different.
A real estate agent, a thief, and me not even being a cop, and then you.
- Yes, what am I? - You've been on sick leave for three years.
They say you were in psych. It's no coincidence that you're leading the group.
- Were you in psych? - It's been a long time.
- But you did? - Yes, for a few weeks.
Check it out!
- Where are you going? - Just checking.
- What if he leaves? - He has no reason to leave.
He doesn't know what we've found in Hallstavik.
Shit!
- Yes? - He's on his way back now.
Did he see you?
No.
What do we do now?
- Hello! - Thank you.
Have you been sitting here all night?
- Hi. - Hi.
- Who is he? - Lives alone, no family.
Owns his own business, works as a surveyor.
- Surveyor? - When you survey real estate.
According to his website, he specializes in large forest areas.
The picture of the clearing.
The only thing I don't understand is how Vall's DNA got on the knife.
There have been several break-ins at Vall's house.
Someone had lifted the drain grate from the bathroom drain.
What do we do now?
Peter? Do we bring him in?
Well...
- Yeah? Are you here again? - Yes.
We'd like you to come with us so we can have a little chat.
- What's the matter? - The murder of Roland Eklund.
I see.
Yes, yes. Wait a minute, I'll get my jacket.
- Are you coming? - Mm.
- Is this what you're looking for? - Where did you find it?
At IT.
Lars-Åke Vall was found murdered at the home of the girl's parents.
- Thoughts? - Yes, tragic...
...but it may put an end to talk of overturning the judges.
Because it would require...
...that Vall confesses to the murders and that he acted alone.
Ann-Marie?
Unfortunately, I think the opposite is true. This could turn into a disaster.
In terms of public relations.
Even if Markus is right, legally speaking.
The media has made a big deal out of this.
Levene retracted his confessions, the pictures from Vall's house.
I think many people are convinced that Vall murdered Fredrika.
I think we can expect this to land in some pretty messy headlines.
Such as?
"When justice failed, parents were forced to act".
Or: "Daughter's killer went free, now father goes to jail". That sort of thing.
I've written to the police, prosecutors, authorities, the JK...
Our own Minister of Justice.
No one can understand what it's like to live so close to your daughter's killer.
To be constantly afraid of bumping into him.
We've just been told we're wrong.
But now we know who was right, and who was wrong.
Lars-Åke Vall killed our little girl.
Per and I have had each other. Now it's just me.
What happened when Urban and I were kids, did you tell anyone?
Even Ante doesn't know about it. You have to stop, Peter.
Urban took his life. You won't get him back.
The killer knows about the story of my father.
