Modus (2015–…): Season 1, Episode 2 - Episode #1.2 - full transcript

Inger Johanne Vik,
psychology professor.

What makes a man a murderer?
-A choice.

You feel entitled to exercise
dominance over another person's life.

Your daughter is probably out on the street.

What were you doing out there?
She's dead..

Stina, who is it who is dead?

I'm not angry,
I agree just not with you.

But it's not just about us.
We have promised each other that.

Stina? There now...

There, sweetheart. There, there.

Yes?



When?

Okay, alone? Good.

-Ingvar Nyman. The National Police.
-Hakim Hammar..

Where is Wettergren?
-Christmas break.

-When will he be back?
-Two weeks. He's in Bangkok.

You don't think that there is
reason to call him home?

We did a physical examination.
One resolute cut straight in the chest.

The perpetrator was fucking lucky

-or he knew exactly
what he was doing.

It doesn't seem to be about
either sex or money.

Bishop murdered on Christmas night.

There will be a shitload
of media here soon-

-so have plenty of people
at the barricades..

-Have informed the relatives?
Yes.



It's Erik.

Dad?

-It's Mother.
-What is? What's wrong with Mom?

She's dead.
-Huh?! What are you saying?

The police say she was murdered.

I'll come over.
-No no. You don't have to.

What is it?

Hello, you have reached
Isabella Levin.

It's fine to leave a message.

Can you check if there are
passengers still on the ferry?

All passengers must
have left the ferry.

Are you okay?
-No. My partner is...

He might have gone by the back door...
-She.

Can you check if she
was on the ferry?

Unfortunately I can't do that.
-Please. Damn it, it's Christmas.

Her name is Isabella Levin.
-The TV chef?

Yes.

Really...
What's her date of birth?

7 7 76

She hasn't checked in
in Helsinki.

What?
It was a return ticket?

-With departure from here?
-23rd.

She hasn't traveled to Helsinki.
Not with us, anyway.

Okay, thanks.

This is an extra news broadcast-

-the Bishop of Uppsala, Elisabeth
Lindgren, was stabbed to death last night.

The attack took place in the street
near her home in Uppsala.

What are you watching?
-Yesterday, she held a Christmas sermon.

Later on Christmas Eve at 22:55
she left the bishop's house...

Come on, Stina.
Come on. Shall we wrap Dad's gifts?

We will now go directly over to
our reporter Malin Wallgren.

With her is Inspector Ingvar Nyman.

The bishop was found murdered
near Akademigatan.

What can the police say about this?

More than that, we don't know.

Members of the public are welcome to
contact us if they witnessed anything.

-Nothing else you can add?
-No not right now.

I felt Elisabeth Lindgren
was an amazing person.

Very modern.
Well versed in today's big issues.

Was she popular?
Absolutely.

But she got a lot of
very strong reactions.

She campaigned for gender-neutral marriages
openly, courageously.

It was an issue for which
she was particularly criticized.

On abortion, she was
a tough opponent.

She went a little further than that,
didn't she?

For Elisabeth, it was
about the sanctity of life.

This applied to pregnancies that
were a result of, for instance, rape.

Thank you, Sophie Dahlberg.

In the fall the bishop visited
"Malou after ten."

There, she told us about her
faith adw her view of love.

Can you tell us what happened?

Suddenly he just stood there
before me in jeans.

Young and beautiful. He had on a white
crumpled shirt and sandals on his feet.

During adolescence of course we find
ourselves in a kind of turbulence.

Life feels so overwhelming,
and I was very lost.

Until that moment, actually.

But at that moment
I immediately recognized him.

Who was he, then?
-Jesus.

You say your life was overwhelming.
What do you mean?

That's a matter between me and God.

We are all entitled to our secret place.

Why are you in such a hurry, Dad?

This is an official residence
and I have to move.

That photograph of mother
as girl we had in the workroom.

Where's it gone?

Elisabeth was very private,
and it should remain so.

Hey, Ingvar Nyman from the National Police.

They said that the hearing could wait.
My father isn't ready.

I fully understand,
I thought more about...

maybe I can answer your questions.

With all due respect, we don't need
comforting, especially not from you.

What does he want?

Ingvar Nyman, National Police.

I apologise if I've come too
soon, I'm sorry for your loss.

-Do you have any questions?
-Of course, but it can wait.

Yes...
-Yes, just one thing.

Where was your wife going last night?

That's none of your concern is it?

Okay.

Was there something more?
-No.

Then that's that.

I apologise.
-No problem.

I'm glad we came here.
It's so sad.

-Unimaginable.
Yes, unimaginable .

-Marcus?
-Drop me off at the office?

It's Christmas Day.

Yes, don't you have a
dying horse waiting for you?

You should be off.

I love you when you're so naive.

Come on.

Police are still looking for the person or perpetrators

-who murdered Bishop Elisabeth Lindgren
on a street in central Uppsala.

The police are still reticent
about the details of the murder-

but it seems at present that they
have no clues as to the culprits.

Hello?

Hello?

Hey, Isabella?

Hello?

Hello, you have reached
Isabella Levin.

It's fine to leave a message.

Stina! Linnea! Put on your coats!

We have to hurry.

You know, Stina says
that in former times beetles-

-were used as medicine
when you had a stomach ache.

She wants to take them to dad.
Can you find a box for them?

Mom said we should
put them back in the box.

Come on, dad is waiting.

He's not in a hurry.
My dad is never in a hurry.

No, that's true. Come on, Stina.

So, did you bring the presents?
- Stina, come on.

Stina, come on now.

-Do you have all the gifts?
Yes.

Oh, God... Stina, come now!

Stina, we should have been there
a long time ago. Come on!

Okay, call Dad and say
that we'll be a bit late.

I'm sorry, honey.

I remember that your friend was here...

Partner.

We don't disclose information
about our guests. I'm sorry.

Every time we're in Stockholm
we stay here.

-Don't you not know me at all?
-Unfortunately.

But it's me who booked the room.

It's on my credit card.
So you can check it out, huh?

Of course.

I see it now,
but she hasn't paid.

-Yes, She paid cash.
She never has cash on her.

The receipt is printed, at 23:38.

That's not true. I was talking to her when
she was going to get a massage.

Then she would go to sleep.
Why check out in the middle of the night?

I don't know. Sorry.

The massage room is there on
the right. I will be there in a minute.

Yes, you wanted to know
if your girlfriend had been here?

-Partner.
-Has she left you?

No, I'm wondering if she
was here at some point?

No, unfortunately. She never showed up.

But she paid apparently
when she checked out.

I do not know if it helps you,
but when it comes to infidelity-

-often someone related
knows how it is.

You might want to start there.
Sure.

-Regards to Grandma and the others.
You're welcome to stay.

It would be nice, but...

Will you take a look at the new pets
sitting in there?

What have you bought now?
-A couple of turtles.

They love the animals...

They stay here. I don't want them.

Don't worry, you will be charmed too.

-Sorry we were late...
-Don't worry.

Stina's happy, all is well.
It's nice.

By the way, I was going to
ask for him on Facebook.

You can't go. You can't go!

It'll be really nice here...

You mustn't go.
-Stina, Come here.

Should I take her?
Forget it, she staying here with us.

Stina, you should be here with dad.
You're supposed to celebrate Christmas.

Then you come to me tomorrow.
It will be good?

You can't go.
-You go. - Come...

Mom! Mom!

Come on, honey. We'll go in here.

Merry Christmas.

Uh
I'm just wondering if you've heard anything from Isabella?

I thought you were the man in the house?
The one who kept order?

-Not to be rude but...
I think she's missing.

Have you asked yourself why?

Is she here? Is she there? Damn...
- Isabella?

I want to share with you my feeling
of Christmas, which is magical.

It smells good,
it is beautiful, mysterious...

-Can you please go?
-Sorry.

I know she was calling you on Christmas Eve.

I was hoping that you'd heard something.

We thought you had persuaded
her not to go to Finland.

They actually asked if I wanted to come along.

But I have the dogs and
they can't be left alone.

We thought she had stayed with you.

Without calling her children?
On Christmas Eve?

We have never really understood
your relationship.

She texted the children
that she wouldn't come.

"Something has come up."

She would never do that, never.

Hello?

Mom?
-Aj!

What are you doing?
-Sorry I just came in.

They're not here either.
-What are you talking about?

Dad was sure that he left his
glasses here last night.

Well. I haven't seen them.

What is it?

I just left the girls off with Isaac.

Stina cried when I left.
It was horrible.

Isaac had to hold her,

-so that she wouldn't run
after me out on the stairs.

He didn't want me to
bring her home again.

The other night I woke
and the water was running.

She sat in the shower
with all her clothes on.

She has been feeling good
for a while now, but...

last night, she had nightmares again.
She screamed and I...

Do you think it's to do with the truck?

I believe that in addition to
Stina being as Stina is-

-she is also entering
puberty and it's tough.

And she needs you. You're great.

Had I been half as wise
when you were that age so...

But... don't forget you have another
little girl to take care of too.

It's not easy to be greatest
when one is lesser.

No, I know.

There they are.

I told him he should have them
on a string around his neck.

-Inger Johanne?
Hey, Ingvar Nyman here.

It was me who drove
you home the other day.

Yes, you left without saying goodbye.
-Sorry, I didn't want to intrude.

Well, I bought your book.

Can I check in with you
after work today?

If it's okay with your kid.

What a fool I am, it's Christmas Day.
That's okay, I'm alone.

Okay. Is it possible you saw
what happened to the bishop?

Yes, it's horrible. She seemed
to be such a fine woman.

In your book you write about
murders of famous women.

Yes, I saw a feature about her
on TV with old clips.

She talked about a secret room.
She didn't mean physically-

That was when she was young

But it still seemed to
mean something to her.

Why else would she mention it?
-So what are you thinking?

That if you want to come here it
would be best after eight o'clock.

-Hello.
Hey, how is she now?

She's good, a little tired maybe.
Why?

She was cracking
up when I left.

She calmed down when you texted
and said you were home.

We've had a super cozy time.
The whole family was here.

Too bad you were not here.
Everybody saw you on TV.

My mother sends her regards
she thought you were damn good.

That's nice of her, thanks.

So we spoke about the cop
who drove you home the other day.

-Did he behave or?
-Isak...

It was my children he had in the car.
Of course I wonder...

-Regards to the girls, say that I would call soon.
Are you going to have guests?

Bye.

Hey.
-Hello. Come in.

Thank you.

How is she, your oldest?
-Good.

Or...
Stina has had a good period...

... but suddenly we feel
a huge setback.

-After the thing with the truck?
It could be something completely different.

She can't put her emotions into words.

That's what gets so painful for her.

You didn't come to talk
about my daughter, right?

No, I've read your book.
Yes, you said that.

You write about the murder of famous women-

and now a very famous woman
has been brutally murdered.

We need your expertise.
As an external assistant.

You can work here or sit in the
office with us. It's up to you.

I suspected that was why you wanted to meet.
And it is very tempting.

My last case in Washington
was a very unpleasant story.

A serial killer, it began
with rape and only got worse.

I'm sitting on the subway
and realise what his weak point is.

I want to call my boss at the FBI,
but the phone has no coverage-

I got off at the next station.

And the train went on.

I had forgotten Stina and Linnea
were still inside the carriage.

They still talk about it actually.

Or rather, it's just Linnea
talking about it.

A that point I decided
that from then on-

-I would just stick to research-

-and skip the reality.

And that promise is being kept.

You, that inspiration
you had in the subway-

- "The weak one behind", wasn't it?

Yes.

Well, it's me again.

Damn, whether you want to be in peace

-or even if you have left me,
I still want to hear from you.

I know I can be pain in the ass but...

Bye.

Don't start that again.

Come on, this is not about
my ex, but my children.

I have to hang up.
I have ordered a massage. Bye.

Too late, now they are asleep.

But you could of course
have asked them to call.

But you had guests?
-Yeah okay. You sound out of breath.

Had to run down to the studio
and pick up a hard drive.

I wanted to listen to a recording of the evening.

-Did you leave them alone?
Yes, so what?

You leave them alone
when you have to work.

-That was something completely different.
-Yes of course.

When it's your decision it's good
when it's mine, it's bad.

I'm always a fool.
That was before the truck.

She almost died!

She went out in the street and we have
no idea what she was doing there.

You're right. I should have
asked them to come with me.

I'm just so worried that something
is going happen to her.

What could it be?
What could happen?

I don't know, see you.

Strange story that about
the TV chef's partner.

They talked just as she was on the way
down but she never appered here.

Did she find someone new in the elevator?
Stuff like that happens.

Isabella?

Don't wake her, she's sleeping.

So, come on. Come on.

So.

Come on.

Hey.
-Hello. You, I'll take a taxi now.

The police were here.
'Oh?

Why?

They want to talk to everyone who
was at Elisabeth's church service.

If we had seen anything strange.

-Did we then?
-No.

No. I can't think of
anything either.

But I'll leave now.

What the hell is this now?
-What is it?

It's the police. Something seems to have happened
right outside the Hotel Gloria.

Okay. Kiss Kiss.

If your daughter has seen him
course he can have seen her.

If she had seen something
as she had said it to me.

It would help us
if we got Elisabeth's computer.

It's not here.

Dad. That photo you
Having removed, who is she?

It is none of your business.

Wait, he know damn
not who we are?
