First Responders (2020): Season 1, Episode 8 - Kvinnan i skogen - full transcript

Great!

I've been waiting for you.

When can you install it?

Well, I have a lot to do, so maybe...

We'll see.

Do you want me to help you?

-How's it going?
-Good.

Yes...

FIRST RESPONDERS

Is your sick leave over
or are you just visiting?

I ran away.
No, I'm not very useful at home.



The baby's with Tove all the time,
and the rest are on their iPads.

Was it a stomach flu going around?

Four times this month.

-No!
-It just goes around and around.

It's terrible.

-Hi.
-Hey.

I don't know.
It depends when Tove starts back.

54-10 from 1-0.

I'm leaving! Have fun.

Okay, bye.

54-10, I'm here.

We got a call about a man
who found his wife hurt outside.

Unclear how she was injured.
The husband is upset and in shock.

There's a minor present.



The man is known by the police for
assaulting an officer two years ago.

The ambulance is on its way.

The address is
Gamla Vallv?gen 9, over.

Okay, I know where it is.
54-10 confirming, on my way.

Police!

Anyone here?

0-1 from 54-10. No one's answering.
I'm heading towards the brook. Over.

Understood, 54-10.
I'm sending backup.

Susanne?

54-10. I found the woman. Dead.

I think she's been beaten to death.

When will backup be here?

Understood.
It will be around 20 minutes, over.

Police! Come out and show yourself!

Come out!

Ola? Did you call us?

Come all the way out.

Show me your hands.

Are you alone?

Where is Amanda?

-What happened?
-I heard the dog...

...and then I found her like this.

It wasn't supposed to... What...

Come with me.

I'm coming.

Dad?

No! Leave her alone.
Leave her, I said! Amanda!

Where are you guys? The husband is
detained, violent and confused.

-Did you find the girl?
-Yes, I'm pursuing her now.

Amanda!

Hi, Amanda. Come here. Come...

Amanda, tell me, is anyone else here?

Is anyone here?

-Where's Mum?
-Come.

Are you okay?

Do you need anything or...
Are you thirsty?

Amanda!

Please tell me as much
as you can. From the beginning.

Yes... I was going
to school in the morning.

I was in the bathroom.

And then I heard Dad...

No! No, don't come closer.

Turn around and walk away.

We're coming.

Go away, I said! Go!

Okay, Sofia will take care of you.

Hi, Amanda. My name is Sofia.
Follow me to the ambulance.

What happened?

Take care of him before he gets hurt.
Make sure he doesn't touch anything.

Ola Persson, believed to have killed
his wife sometime this morning.

Previously convicted for
assaulting an officer and abuse.

He even made certain confessions
at the scene.

Any reason not to arrest him now?

Well, I have two theories.

This is from the cell towers.

The towers are far apart
so it's an estimate,

but this is the victim's cell phone
this morning and late last night.

Probably walking the dog.

We didn't find the dog.
We're waiting for our dog team.

But... I assume
that it was killed as well.

-Why do you think that?
-Well, it's not...

...completely unlikely that Ola
killed the dog first in anger.

The wife saw it
and then he killed her as well.

That was one theory.
The other theory...

And this is interesting.

These dots belong to a Per Sundberg
from Gothenburg.

He spent two years in prison
for abuse. He got out in August 2017.

He's driving here. He stops here
and walks into the woods.

And then he drives home.
What was he up to in the woods?

Most likely the husband killed her,
but take this guy Per in.

-Let's see what he says.
-Good.

When will Child Services
pick up the daughter?

Well... I didn't have time
to call them yet.

Hi. How's it going?

-What's she doing here?
-You can trust her.

Hi, I'm Zara, I'm a doctor.

Here's something to calm you down
if you want.

I'll be outside
when ?sa leaves. Okay?

Where's Dad?

We had to arrest him.

Can I ask you...

How was everything at home?

-You mean if they were fighting?
-Yes, for example.

And if so, what about?

Well... they fight when they drink.

But I they didn't fight that day.

And you're absolutely sure
that you didn't see anyone else?

In the last couple of days.

No...

How far are we
from Ola and Susanne's?

It's around 800 metres that way.

Johan and I will go that way
and you'll go behind the house.

-Remember, he's violent.
-Yes.

That looked like a knife.

Police! Come out!

Come out here!

Hi, Per. I want to talk.
Drop the knife, on your knees!

Drop the knife, nice and easy.

Put out the cigarette.

Do what he says. On your knees.

Put out the cigarette.

I'm going to handcuff you, okay?

It's not moose season now.

What were you doing
between midnight and 8 AM?

That's a lot of hours.

Hard to say.

So what were you doing?

I don't know.

Okay.

Come on, you've tried it before.
It gets worse if you don't help us.

Either you hit that moose
with your car or you shot it.

You didn't call the landowner,
which is illegal.

You'll get a suspended sentence
of at least six months.

Or we can do something else.

You start talking...

...and I'll forget about that moose.

Okay.

So where were you last night?

I drove up from Gothenburg.
I reached...

...Unders?ker around 6.30 PM.

-And that's when you hit the moose?
-Hell no.

That was the car in front of me,
but I almost hit the fool.

Okay?

It was some stupid tourist.
He totally panicked.

-As usual.
-Exactly.

So I told him...
that I would help him.

-So he wouldn't get in trouble.
-Nice.

You didn't exchange phone numbers?

No. I would rather have your number.

I remember his plates, if that helps.

It does.

EYG373 .

No, 737.

No, it was 373.

Okay, we'll wait here.
Keep an eye on him.

-You'll write a mission statement.
-Another one?

For due diligence.

An accountancy firm will rate
our work so all is correct.

I really hope it's necessary.
Did you bring napkins?

-Yes, it's necessary. It's not much.
-Good, it takes up all my time.

They'll have to manage.

Don't get lost. Thanks, bye.

Did you find him?

Yes, he said he hit a moose,
and a nice, young man helped him out.

So what will happen now?

Well, we made a deal.

Johan, can you uncuff him?

It's just me.

Did the pills help a little?

I have some bad news.

In these cases, the offender
is often a close relative.

Dad's innocent.

-I told you.
-Yes...

...but he's a suspect,

so child services
will have to take care of you.

No child services.

I don't know what to do.

Then they better send a lot of
people, 'cause I'll kick their asses.

I won't let them take me again.

And the tourists confirm
Sundberg's story?

Yes, he couldn't have been there
at the time of the murder.

Alright, we'll arrest the husband
for killing his wife.

We'll take him to ?stersund tomorrow.
They'll take over the investigation.

So what did Child Services say?

Well... there's been a complication.

The daughter, Amanda,
has previously...

...had a traumatic experience
with them, and refuses contact.

That's not our bloody problem.

That's literally their
job description.

I know Amanda through my son,
and I thought...

...I could bring her home tonight
so she can get used to the idea.

Technically you could argue
that I'm a relative.

Since my son...

Not very convincing,
so make sure it works out.

Yes.

-So I just pulled him out.
-Wow.

-Adrenaline gives you superpowers?
-I don't know about that.

They were not exactly little kids.
Almost adults.

And they were in the water.
Must have been heavy.

-I don't get it.
-In those situations you just react.

Just ask Sofia. She was there.
She was really good.

And I'll leave you at that.

Want company?

Are you kidding?
I live two metres from here.

Are you hitting on me?

-Alright, have fun.
-Yeah, see you.

-Bye, Katja!
-Bye!

-So, a real hero.
-You seem rather impressed.

I'm super impressed.

So... great with him.

Yes.

-Is it going well?
-Let's not talk about that.

No, maybe not.

He seems nice. And rich.

Handsome.

The whole package.

At least he's not married.

That's true.

So, did you meet Lina's parents?

Yes. We met at the hospital.

Lina called and asked to see me.

Me and Tomas and their family...

But it's up to them.

-You're good? Anything else?
-No, thanks.

-You're fine? Okay.
-Thanks.

Should we...

-...get going?
-Yes.

-Take care.
-Nice meeting you.

-Take care.
-You too. Bye.

Do you...

...want to hang out in the kitchen,
or watch some TV or...

I'll just watch TV.

Okay.

I just need to... take all this off.

Why are you texting me?

What's she doing here?

-I invited her here.
-Why?

You know she broke up with me.
Are you stupid?

Something very serious happened.

Something happened to her mother.

-Hey!
-Everything okay?

-Yes, and you?
-I'm fine.

Do you want a cup of tea?

-Maybe a glass of wine.
-Okay.

-Will this one do?
-Looks fine.

Does it now?

A crappy one will do as well.

-Good?
-Definitely.

-How is she?
-Okay. She's taking a shower.

Do you need to call Child Services?

Well, that's the way it is.

If you don't have any parents or
relatives, Child Services help you.

Yes, but she's terrified of them.

Last time, they placed her
with a paedophile.

I know.
That's why I brought her here.

Don't we have enough shit going on?

Yes, we do. I'm sorry,
but we have to help her.

-Do you know that he's guilty?
-No, I'm not certain.

Why don't you listen to Amanda?
She says it wasn't him.

I do,
but my opinion is not important.

That's up to the prosecutor
and the court.

Yes, I know that, but I mean...

They make their decision
based on your evidence.

So, if he is innocent,
maybe you didn't look closely enough.

You must feel great
messing up someone else's life, too.

No wonder how things ended with Dad.

Let me make one thing very clear.

Your dad was a drug addict.

He chose the drugs over us.

And what are you up to?

What are you smoking?

How long have you been smoking pot?

Answer me!

What the hell's wrong with you?

I went in to do my shopping.
And there he was.

-Hey.
-Hi.

Child Services are
on their way, but...

-Call me before you let them leave.
-Of course.

It's going to be fine.

-We need to talk.
-I don't want to talk to you.

And I don't want coffee.

I'll tell you
what will most likely happen now.

You'll be in jail waiting your trial.

Meanwhile, Child Services takes
care of Amanda.

It turns out you're innocent
and you're acquitted. But...

...Child Services will have found her
a new foster family.

You'll need to overturn the decision
and that takes a long time.

When you succeed,
if you succeed, it will have taken...

...five or six months.

Later today,
they'll take you to ?stersund.

They'll take over the case
and I won't be able to do anything.

And Child Services will
pick up Amanda.

-What can I do?
-You can talk to me.

Give me something.

Anything.

Why did you say,
"It wasn't supposed to..."?

You understand how that sounds?

Well...

It wasn't supposed to be her.

I'm always the one messing up.

I ruin everything.

Who could have done it?

I don't know.

Where's the dog?

-Hey!
-Hello.

Thanks for helping out.

You said it was serious.

Come on! Get out.

-What are we doing?
-Finding another crime scene.

Ola and Susanne had a border collie.
If we find that we might find clues.

-Okay. Let's do it.
-You don't mind getting wet feet?

-How's the girl doing?
-Well, she's alright.

She's still at the
Medical Centre, but...

...Child Services will take over,
and she's terrified of them.

So what are you going to do?

I can't just let her go.

You think he's innocent?

I don't know. But if he is,
there's a murderer walking free.

Rim?

Not a usual crime scene.

Doesn't look planned.

It's not a sex crime.

What's that slime?

-Some kind of froth.
-Froth?

-From what? The dog?
-No, a large animal.

-Yes, come in.
-It's ?sa. You should take it.

I need an analysis fast,
before they leave with Amanda.

Okay, I'm going.

Hey! I'm Anders Svensson
from Child Services.

Bj?rn. What's it about?

I'm here to talk to Amanda Eklund.

Yes... If you wait here
I'll go have a look.

-Okay, so they're there now?
-Yes, Bj?rn asked him to wait.

Great, thanks.

I'm sorry, but I...

Sorry, what did you say?

Could you tell me why the daughter
isn't with Child Services yet?

We got new information.

I hope it's
some damn good information.

-Are they here?
-No, I just wanted to check on you.

-It's going to be fine.
-It won't be fine at all.

Amanda... listen. It will be fine.

I know what you're going through.

You have no idea
what I'm going through!

Do you have any idea
what he did to me?

Come here.

-No, I don't want to!
-Come.

Sit down. I just want to help you.

Mummy!

Mummy...

It sounds a bit like an afterthought,
this "it wasn't supposed to".

Maybe he's lying.

Yes, I know he might be lying, but...

...I think we found the answer.

And what is it then?

We have good reason to believe
that Susanne was killed by...

...a moose.

A moose?

We took samples of a froth
on both the dog and Susanne's body

and it matches the fur of a moose.

It's calving season and...

...probably the dog came
between the moose and her calf.

The moose attacked the dog
who tried to hide behind Susanne.

It's possibly the same calf
that was run over by the tourists.

Did the National Forensic Centre
analyse the sample?

We did the test here,
but they will get the same result.

Well...

I'll be damned.

A moose?

Hey...

-What's going on?
-You're free to go.

-Hi!
-Hey.

You were great today.

-You solved the whole case.
-Ah, well...

Can I buy you lunch tomorrow?

How about a beer now?

Sounds great, but I can't.

I need to get home
and try to cheer up Kevin.

I hope pizza will work.

Yeah, I understand. Good luck.

I'm very impressed with your work.

Sorry to interrupt. Here you go.

-Extra sauce, as usual.
-Thanks.

-What?
-Nice.

Stop it.

Kevin?

I bought pizza!

Come on.

You don't answer when I call you.

He's not here.
