Roslund Hellström: Box 21 (2020–…): Season 1, Episode 5 - Episode #1.5 - full transcript

I'm sorry, Lidia.

Could Tobias have known her?

-Do you think he paid for sex?
-No.

I have some information
about Lidia Amarei.

-I met Sam.
-Sam? What kind of religion is that?

Your life, Jochum, for Sam's.

This time, you film it.

Come on. You have to come with me.

The police are looking
for this woman.

I need my passport.

You'll get it tomorrow,
after this job.



Lucian?

Police! Stop!

Mariana!

Alina? I'm a police officer.

Explain to me how you got this.

-I can get you a passport.
-No.

You take me to Romania.

-Hi.
-Hi. Is Ewert here?

-No.
-Do you know where he is?

I've been calling him since
last night, but he's not answering.

If you have any idea about where
he could be, I would be grateful.

He called and asked me
to come early. He took a taxi.

Do you know where to?

You can relax. I'm gonna give you
the bag, and then you can go home.



Is home here in Bucharest?

So, where are you from?

Why do you want to know that?

I just wanna know who I'm talking to.

I'm from Zoria.

It's a small village up in north.

And your family lives there? Mother?

Father?

So your mother raised you alone?

Me and my brother, Ovidiu.

It must have been hard for her.

Come on, eat something.

Now tell me...

how did you end up in Sweden?

I didn't have any money.

And no place to go.

But I had this.

That's how I met Lucian.

He was nice.

He made me feel good and safe.

He said that we...

He always said "we."

We could go to Sweden,
make money.

Send home
to my mother and Ovidiu.

And it was great.

Traveled through Europe
in his nice car.

We took a ferry.
And at the restaurant,

he said I was going to see
my new boss, Janus.

So we went up to his luxury cabin.

Lucian opened the door,
and there he was.

Janus.

The first thing he did
was showing me his police badge.

It was to make it clear for me
I couldn't do anything.

Even if he killed me,
he would get away with it.

Because he was the law.

One ticket to Zoria, please.

Thank you.

-This is Ewert.
-Hi. This is Farima Shirazi.

My brother has disappeared.

-When?
-Late last night.

-Have they sent out an alert?
-No. Your colleagues want to wait.

It's not the first time
he has disappeared like this.

But it's different this time.

Why?

Everything is still here.

I'll see what I can do.

Keep walking, damn it.

Don't you understand? Keep walking.

-Thanks, Jochum.
-Get up.

Please help me up.

What time is it?
My plane to Australia.

I can still make it.

Shut up and walk.

Come on.
Why can't we just do it like we said?

What is it you don't get?
I told you to shut up.

You don't have to do this.

You...listen to me now.
This is the last time I'll say it.

Just keep your mouth shut
and keep walking. Understood?

-OK.
-Shut up and walk.

Are you filming this?

What the hell...

Hadn't we decided
to end the film differently?

I mean...

Killing me,
that's so fucking predictable.

You shouldn't have sold bad drugs
to Micke's sister.

I know.

Now you're paying for it.

It doesn't have to be that way.
I don't need to pay for it like that.

-There has to be another way...
-Shut up.

-Or what?
-I told you to shut up.

Come on. Turn the camera off.

Turn off the camera.

Put the gun away.

I can tell.

You won't do it.

Put down...

Sam Shirazi is gone.

-OK. Do you think it's Jochum?
-Probably.

-Try to find one of them.
-OK.

Where are you?

I'll tell you later,
but don't tell anyone that I called.

My name is Ewert Grens.
I'm a police officer from Sweden.

I'm looking for Andreea Simionescu.

Andreea Simionescu?

Ewert Grens, Swedish police.
You contacted me yesterday.

I couldn't believe you'd travel
across Europe to look me up.

It's about the murder of my...

of a colleague of mine.
Tobias Nordwall.

I'm not sure
if I can help you with Tobias.

You said you had information.

Not about him.

Then what about?

Come.

There's someone I want you to meet.

Aren't you from Zoria?

Alina... Alina!

I remember you.
Always reading in the library.

I wasn't sure,
but those dimples you don't forget.

And now?

Are you going home to your mom?

Yes, and Ovidiu.

Of course, Ovidiu.
He's your younger brother, right?

-Have you been gone long?
-Two years.

Two years?

Where have you been?

-In Sweden.
-Sweden?

What did you do there?

I'm sorry...

Alina, look at me.

You have nothing to be ashamed of.

The way the world is...

you have no choice.

Here we are.

I still live in the teacher's house.

Even though I'm retired.

Alina, you can tell me
to mind my own business...

but what are you going to do now?

I don't know. Nothing in particular.

So you're just going to survive?

-Something like that.
-You could come over here.

I could teach you, if you want.
Then you could continue your studies.

I don't have money for that.

I do.

I've got some put away.

You don't have to.

It's not for your sake, but for mine.

So many of my girls
have been forced to do what you did.

And the boys...

they become their pimps.

You can call it what you want,
maybe vanity.

But I would be so proud

if at least one of my pupils
went on to higher education.

Think it over.

You know where I live.

Ovidiu!

Alina!

Mom! Alina is here!

Where's Mom?

Inside.

SVEN: SAM'S FLIGHT WAS AT
2.25 PM. HE NEVER CHECKED IN.

-This is Karlberg.
-Sam's missing.

He was going to Australia.
Jochum must have got to him.

-What do you want me to do?
-Tell me where Jochum is.

-How should I know?
-What do you know?

They talked about some ex-girlfriend
that Jochum was seeing.

-What's her name?
-It begins with an A. Anna? Alicia?

Hi!

This is where we broke up.

Six years ago,
a cop stopped me here.

He searched my car.

He found the guns and merchandise
that you had left there.

Even though I had told you
a billion fucking times

that I wanted nothing to do
with your crap.

But you didn't give a shit, did you?

I called you too.
Do you remember that?

I begged you to come and tell them
that it was your fucking stuff.

But you didn't come.

So I was charged.

For your fucking crap.

So when you start talking about
how fucking free you are

and that you're turning over
a new leaf, do you know what I see?

I see this piece of road
in front of me.

-Do you get it?
-OK.

-Do you get it?
-I get it.

-It doesn't seem like it.
-No.

What do you want me to say?

That you're sorry.
I want you to say that you're sorry.

You left me stuck in that shit.

It took me three years
to become a normal person again.

It was hell getting my parlor
up and running. Thanks to you.

Is that why
you want me to apologize?

No. You can just not give a shit.
But you'll never see me again.

I'm sorry.

Alex...

I'm a vegetarian.

Don't bring anything with alcohol.

This is Ewert Grens.

He's from the Swedish police.
He's investigating Lidia's death.

This is Ekatharina Amarei.
Lidia's mother.

You're the first to show you care.
Thank you.

They used to live in
a nice, big apartment,

but ended up here
after Rustan, Lidia's father, died.

Tell him that your colleagues
killed him and are lying about it.

I will.

The official version
says car accident.

But the accident happened
a day after he had a breakthrough

in a corruption investigation
that went straight into

the high office
of the police headquarter.

It was horrible.
And nobody cares. Nobody.

Only Andreea has been here since.

And now you.

About Lidia.

Let me show you something.

-Did you work with Rustan?
-Yes.

We were partners in crime.

I got away with a few less toes.

Now I'm buying size 38 for this foot
and 36 for this one.

Come, please.
I want to show you...a picture.

Come.

-These two, they were gun crazy.
-She was Daddy's girl.

She wanted to do
everything he did and be like him.

She took lessons in shooting,
courses at the university.

Trained all the time.

In order to be the best student
in the police school.

And believe me,
when you are a woman

planning to be a policeman
in Romania,

you have to be better than the best.

We were so proud.

Our daughter was going to be
on the police force.

We only had one child.

She had just got into the academy
when Rustan was killed.

And then, out of nowhere, they made
a "mistake" with the papers.

And she had no place
in the academy after all.

She was...smart. Very smart.

Highest marks in chemistry.

This will explain the explosion
to you. An A-student in chemistry.

This is what I wanted to tell you.

She knew what she was up to.

She meant to kill your colleague.

Where are you going?
You said you wanted information.

I didn't ask for this.
You're the one who called me.

-Was he corrupt?
-You don't know anything.

There's no other explanation.
Rustan was a policeman.

She wouldn't hurt another police
unless he was corrupted!

Stop saying that!

Did you talk to Ewert?

-Do you know where he is?
-No.

He's in Romania.

He flew there this morning at 5.30.

With Alina Lazariuc.

-Lidia's friend?
-Yes.

Ewert himself issued her warrant
for accessory to murder.

-He wouldn't do that without reason.
-So why didn't he tell us?

Tell me if he calls.

Of course.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry too.

I saw Lidia growing up.

I cared for her.

I should have understood
that you cared for him.

He wasn't just a friend,
he was...family.

That's why I know.

Know what?

That he can't have done
these...things.

What things exactly?

Lidia was a prostitute.

When she left, she said...

she's gonna work in a restaurant.

Maybe she thought so at first,
and then...

she was forced to do
this other thing.

By your friend?

-Not without a reason.
-What reason?

I don't know. But he must have been
forced to do it.

He must have had...
some kind of pressure.

By whom?

Someone from here.

You're from here.

You're a cop. You have to know
people who work with sex trafficking.

Someone we can talk to.

Yes. I think I know someone.

No way, Andreea.
I can't be seen with you.

As if anyone cares who you talk to.

Before Dragos here started
to be seen in nice places like this,

he worked in the vice squad
in Bucharest.

At the same time she had ten toes.

Some things are more important
than toes.

Ewert is a Swedish police officer.

And he can put some coins
in your cup, if you're helpful.

I'm not for sale.

Don't lie to yourself.

You've always been bought.
You never change.

I'm looking for a group
who pick up girls here

and takes them to Sweden.

Are you kidding? One group?
There are hundreds!

Do you know
if any Swedes are involved?

Where did you find this idiot?

-Is that a yes or a no?
-Come on! There are Swedes here.

And Norwegians
and Danish and Icelanders.

I mean, we are invaded
from the north!

They come here and take our girls
and make money out of them.

Is Tobias Nordwall one of them?

Do you have any photo of him?

It's you.

I think he recognizes himself.

He's a cop, right?

I have had colleagues who met him
at the conference in Munich.

-And how do you know they met?
-They showed me a photo of him

when he was out drinking beer
with my colleagues.

So how can you remember
this photo and his face?

I have to. My colleagues
showed the photo to the entire squad

and said that no one should
make a move at this guy.

-Why?
-'Cause he was going

to pick up the girls
and bring them to Sweden.

But I don't think
he was here very often.

My guess is
that he had others doing the fishing.

But how did your colleagues
get him involved?

What do you mean?

-Are you deaf?
-No. But it was the other way around.

It was he who got
my colleagues involved, the prick!

OK. Call as soon
as you've looked into it.

He was there.

In Munich?

Yes.

Are you sure?

Yes, he's on the list.

Why do you ask?

I don't envy you.

You have to expose your friend.

You have no choice
but show the world and his family...

who he really was.

But that's the thing,
he wasn't anything like that.

We meet them all the time
in our work, don't we?

People who could die
for their family and friends,

and at the same time kill
whoever they want to.

They have this circle around them.

If you're inside, it's warm.

'Cause they protect you
and care for you.

So you, his family and friends...

you couldn't see who he truly was.

But now you know.

So you have to act upon that.

Can you drive me?

There's a witness I need
a full written statement from.

As you said...

I have no choice.

Sven!

-Have you heard from Ewert?
-No.

He's been gone a whole day.
Who does he think he is?

He's been through hell.
First Anni and then Tobias.

If he's got problems,
he should call in sick.

-He can't damage an investigation.
-He's not.

-He's working his ass off.
-How would you know?

So he did call?

Yes?

OK.

Alexandra Johansson.

Could you send me the address?

Thanks.

I think I know where Jochum Lang is.

Come on.
I'll explain everything in the car.

-Hi!
-Hi.

Welcome to my place. And Rafael's.

-Is he here?
-Yes, in the living room.

Rafael! Jochum is here now.

Rafael, meet Jochum.

Jochum, meet Rafael. Stay here.

He's cute.

-I always choose cute guys.
-But he's hairier than me, right?

Yes, he's Persian.

Do you want me to open
a can of kimchi?

I'm addicted to it.

It smells like balls, but that's not
a problem when you're on your own.

What do you think?
Kimchi or no kimchi?

-Alexandra Johansson?
-Yes.

We're looking for Jochum Lang.
Is he here?

Why would he be?

We broke up six years ago.

Have you met up with him since?

No.

Just briefly.

Anything else?

I'm having dinner, so...

Are there any witnesses?

They said it was a car accident.

But you still have your story.

They will take your word for it.

You should have brought
the wild boar.

We could have had a barbecue.

Dinner is ready!

Wash your hands well.

Your big brother is back.

Dad...will you help me
change the windshield tomorrow?

Of course.
