Spring Tide (2016–…): Season 1, Episode 8 - Episode #1.8 - full transcript

The murdered woman was Adelita Rivera.
She was carrying Nils Wendt's child.

He played a tape of a conversation
that only he could have recorded.

I know you'll stoop low,
Linn, but murder...

No one can tie it to us.

- Was it that dramatic?
- It would ruin me and the company.

Are you lying to me?

- Here.
- The original?

Somewhere I'm expected to be
by July 1st at the latest.

If I don't get there
it will be sent to the police.

The Nordkoster and Wendt murders
are linked. They're now one case.

Maybe the same man killed them both.



Right. Or woman.

- Oops! I'm Sorry.
- What the hell?

I've got the DNA sample
from Jackie Berglund.

Marianne.

I need your help.

I want to know who beat me up.
Tell me their names.

- Is he still in Costa Rica?
- I don't know. I talked to our man.

He said he saw some local guy
handing el Fassi the tape.

Then he left.

Check every flight coming into Arlanda.
Don't lose him again, okay?

Acke!

He's just taking some time out, Vettan.
Kids do that. They run away from home.

- I ran away...
- He hasn't run away.

Okay, he hasn't run away.
But the cops will find him.



And if they don't, we'll talk to...

Bloody hell...

- Hang on!
- Let me go! I'm his mother!

- Calm down.
- Let go! I'm his mother!

Let her go, idiot!
It's her son.

Is he still alive?

- I'm coming too...
- Sit at the front.

Acke, Mummy's here.

SPRING TIDE

- You look tired.
- Thanks.

Aren't you sleeping well?

According to Bertil, I have bad dreams
and toss and turn all night.

Last night I slept in the guest room.
Do you sleep well?

My contact got Abbas el Fassi's name
yesterday and checked with the airlines.

He flew from San José,
changed planes in Dallas...

and will land in Arlanda at 21.25 tonight
unless there are delays.

- Do we have someone there?
- Yes.

Good. I'm counting on
you to take care of this.

Yes, I know.

Hi.

Can I come in?

Is this your caravan?

Hers?

Is she nice?

She was murdered.

- Was she the one...?
- You could have phoned before you came.

Yes, I know.
But I wanted to see how you lived.

Like this. How about you?

- A house, a husband who teaches PE...
- Tom!

You contacted me.

You showed up suddenly after 6 years
and asked me for a favor.

So don't dare to be sarcastic
about my life!

They match.

Both samples come from
the same woman. Who is she?

It's Jackie Berglund.

That Jackie Berglund?

What happens now?
Obviously you're not in charge.

I'll talk to Mette.

Yes, I heard you were in touch again.
How does that feel?

Listen, I didn't mean to be sarcastic.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- He's fine.
- He's fine?

He has a few fractures
but he's out of danger.

When can I see him?

He's sedated but you can sit with him.

- Thank you.
- Follow me.

Went to Nordkoster
and met Betty Nordeman.

Hi.

Listen, the hairs on the clip
did belong to Jackie Berglund.

Really? Yes!

What do we do now?

I've talked to Mette.
It's up to her, I guess.

I have something to show you.
Come in.

Here. I took it the day before yesterday.
It's the guy who attacked me.

- He was following you the other day.
- What? How do you know?

I saw him in the park
when you brought the clip.

- Where did you take this?
- Outside Jackie's boutique.

- Did he see you?
- I don't know.

Yes.

Why?

- Who was it?
- Mette.

She wants me to come in.

- To the police station?
- Yes.

- Why?
- She's interviewing Jackie Berglund.

What? So soon?
Listen, I can give you a lift.

- Can't you tell me what this is about?
- You're here for questioning.

Yes, I've figured out that much, but why?
Is it about my business?

- The officer in charge will tell you.
- And who's that?

- I'm glad you made it, Tom.
- What am I supposed to do?

Fill me in. I haven't read everything.
It's your case.

- No, stay here, Olivia.
- I got you the clip.

Yes, but you're not a police officer.

No, but neither is he.

- I need to go to the loo.
- I'll be waiting.

- About time!
- Hi, I'm Chief Inspector Mette Olsäter.

- Can you explain why I'm here?
- Soon.

Interview with Jackie Berglund.

Tom Stilton is also present.

Why?

Here are transcripts of the interviews
conducted with you in 1990...

concerning the Nordkoster murder.

In them, you claimed you'd never been
to the crime scene at Hasslevikarna.

- Is that correct?
- I never set foot up there.

I was staying on a yacht
with two Norwegians in the harbor.

So why was a hair clip
with your hair on it...

found on the beach
the night of the murder?

- A hair clip?
- Yes.

How do you know it was mine?

The hair matches
fresh strands taken from you.

The DNA matches up.

We had sex.

- "We"?
- Me and one of the Norwegians.

We had sex there and I guess
that's when I lost a hair clip.

You just said you'd never set foot
over at Hasslevikarna.

You said it in 1990 too.
But now you admit you were there?

I was there, yes.

- Why did you lie about it?
- I didn't want to get involved.

There were two Norwegians
on the yacht.

They were... Geir Andresen and Petter Moen.
Which one did you have sex with?

- Petter.
- Petter Moen?

- I think.
- You think? You don't know?

Come on!

Do you know
who you slept with 25 years ago?

Yes. My husband.

Poor you.

Did you know Adelita Rivera?

Who?

- Did you know Nils Wendt?
- No.

But you do know Olivia Rönning?

I don't understand.

No. Who is she?

A girl you and your mates
have been harassing.

I run a respected interior design
boutique in Östermalm.

Why would I be harassing some girl?

Perhaps it's to do
with your call-girl ring.

Listen, if I were in your state,
I'd go and freshen up...

instead of indulging in fantasy.
I want to have a lawyer present.

That's a good idea.
We'll finish now and get back to you.

May I go?

- What's it like, being back at the CID?
- Awful.

- Would you consider...
- No way!

- Is Abbas on his way?
- Yes. I'll be in touch.

- How did it go?
- She admitted it.

- That she was on the beach.
- Yes.

- But that doesn't make her the killer.
- No, but I think she's involved.

What was her motive?
And why kill someone that way?

Maybe she was in love with Nils Wendt.
She was jealous.

She knew Adelita was with him...

and then met her on the beach
with the two Norwegians...

- I don't know.
- I can tell.

She saw me in there.

- Jackie Berglund saw you?
- Yes.

You slap her, you tank out her hair,
then you turn up here.

Yes.

- Don't be so goddam naive!
- I'm...

Don't you have any sense
of self-preservation?

Are you worried about me?

- Can I give you a lift?
- No thanks.

He starts talking about Red Velvet.
Then he drags in that girl.

- What's he up to?
- How would I know?

You're a cop!
You bloody well should know!

Stilton's a has-been who's no longer
affiliated with the police.

Yet there he was at the CID
at my interview. Can you explain that?

I'll have you know that if I go down,
I'll bring everyone down with me.

And that includes you.

Do I make myself clear?

Billy Ohlsson's autograph...

How is he?

So-so.

He's sedated.

I need a smoke.

How did you get in?
- I told them I was Acke's dad.

By the way, who is his dad?

One of Jackie Berglund's clients.

I was working at Red Velvet.
I accidentally got pregnant to a client.

I didn't want to have an abortion.

She kicked me out
and the rest is history.

Acke doesn't know?

No. And neither does the dad.

- He doesn't know about Acke?
- No.

- What room is he in?
- 13. Apparently his mother's with him.

This must be the boy
who tipped Stilton off.

Wasn't his name Acke?

It's a bloody disgrace.

How the hell can anyone beat a child
and dump him in a skip?

I'm getting out.

- Out of what?
- I'm getting out.

I have to...

Excuse me, are you Acke's mother?

- Yes.
- I'm not Acke's father.

- So who are you?
- Well, who are you?

I'm a police officer.

Then you know Tom Stilton?

- Do you?
- I do.

We're like this! Bye.

Talk soon.

Hi.

So have we solved the problem
with the kid?

- Yes.
- Good. I've found a new location.

But... we don't want that homeless guy
showing up again.

We have a solution for that too.
You can count on us.

It's your responsibility.
Don't fuck it up.

I'm counting on you.

She's a trainee cop.

Her dad was a detective.
She knows this other old detective...

and probably also the woman
who interviewed me.

We need to find out what she's up to,
so keep your eye on the little bitch.

- Hi.
- Hi.

What's up?
You sounded so excited.

Jackie Berglund was on the beach
the night of the murder.

Really? How do you know?

- She admitted it in a police interview.
- Really?

- Have they reopened the beach case?
- Sort of.

And Jackie just admitted this?

No, but... I got some hairs from her
and her DNA tied her to the scene.

- You were right all along.
- Yes...

but it doesn't tie her to the murder.

- No, she denied that, of course.
- Yes.

Any more visit from Jackie's goon?

- No, thank goodness.
- That's good.

What is it?

I wanted to thank you
for helping with the DNA.

I don't know if I thanked you before.
So thanks.

Look, I'm knackered.
I need to sleep.

Bye.

- Where is Bertil?
- At the Gothenburg Art Fair.

- How's it going?
- Not very well.

He can tell I'm lying and being
evasive all the time, making excuses...

- It's a terrible strain.
- It will be over soon.

I hope so...

If not,
our relationship will be torn apart.

Yes.

Good.

- He has arrived?
- Yes.

- And?
- Sedovic will shadow him.

- What are his instructions?
- To get the tape... at any cost.

Abbas!

- Any bags?
- Yes, this one.

- Where are we going?
- Your place.

Why was Jackie Berglund here today?

- How do you know she was here?
- Why was she here?

For an interview.

Who allowed a tramp to be present?

- I did.
- And you'd cleared that?

Occasionally,
you're almost touching, Rune.

Particularly when you
forget where you work...

which isn't the CID.
And it never will be.

Hi, Tom, it's Mette.

Abbas has arrived.
We're meeting at his place.

I hope you get this message.
I'd like you to be there too.

- Olivia.
- Hi, Olivia.

I'm trying to get hold of Tom
but he's not picking up.

- Do you know where he is?
- At the caravan.

I spoke to him a while ago.
He was tired.

Maybe he switched his phone off.
What's up?

Abbas is back.
We're meeting at his place.

- Could you pick Tom up?
- Okay.

Bye.

Listen, this is arson.

- What makes you so sure?
- Stilton lived here.

- How do you know?
- I came and talked to him.

- Why?
- I wanted to do a good job.

By going behind my back?
Are you completely nuts?

Do you know
if anyone was in the caravan?

No, until Forensics has finished
I can't give you answers.

Who are you?
Thank you.

That's his.

Stilton's?

Can you take this to Forensics?

Thanks.

This is Mette Olsäter.
Please leave a message...

Did you know him?

- Can I give you a lift somewhere?
- No.

Olivia, I came as fast as...

Sweetheart, what's wrong?
Tell me.

- What is it?
- Tom's been burnt to death.

Tom?...Tom Stilton?

It might be my fault.

My dear,
how could it possibly your fault?

The same bastards that killed Elvis
might have done it.

What's that?
Someone killed Elvis?

Olivia, what's going on?
What are you mixed up in? Sweetheart!

Come on...

Pull out a chair.

- Mette...
- Yes, what's up?

- Someone torched Tom's caravan and...
- Calm down.

He almost died but he's here now.

- How is he?
- How are you?

I think he's okay, but I'm not sure.

We'll come to your
place. I'll call Abbas.

Okay.

Where are they now?

Heading towards Söder.

- Doesn't el Fassi live on Kungsholmen?
- Yes.

- Thank you for coming, Mum.
- Will you be all right?

Yes.

Bye.

It must have been ages
since you saw Mum.

Yes, it's been a while.

Didn't you socialize with them
when you worked with Dad?

Yes, now and then.

- Did you know they almost divorced?
- No.

Because of the beach case.

Mum says Dad was obsessed with it.

Well, he wanted to crack the case.
It was unusual.

In what way was it unusual?

- Can I ask you something?
- Sure.

What got you interested
in the beach case?

It was a school assignment.
Pure coincidence.

Why?

Katarina Bangata...

Alex...

Are you okay?

Great.

Thanks for Adelita Rivera.
Is that the material from Mal País?

Yes. We'll look at it when
Mette gets here. She's on her way.

- Which building is it?
- That one.

You recognize her?

- Are you okay?
- Yes, I'm okay.

- So how are you?
- Fine, thanks.

- And the material?
- Here.

I've handled it, by the way.

Good, we'll keep that in mind.
Do you have a cassette player?

- No, I don't. Sorry.
- Lisa will have to find one.

What's this?

Swedish stamp.

The letter's in Spanish.

"Dan, I'm sorry but I don't think
we're right for each other.

"Now I have a shot at a new life.
I won't be back."

And then her signature, "Adelita."

- When is it postmarked?
- 5 September 1990.

7 days after the murder.

Yes. So she didn't write this.

Hang on, here's something more recent.
It's in Swedish.

"To the police authorities...

"This evening I had a visitor
from Sweden here in Mal País.

"His name was Ove Gardman.

"He told me about Nordkoster,
about a murder committed in 1990.

"I later realized, after seeing
a photo posted online by the police...

"that the victim was Adelita Rivera...

"a Mexican woman I loved,
who was expecting my baby.

"For financial reasons,
she had gone to Nordkoster...

"to pick up money
I was unable to pick up myself.

"She never came back
and now I know why.

"I'm fairly certain I know
who is responsible for her death.

"I'm going to Sweden to see
if my money is still on the island.

"If the money is gone, I will know
what happened and act accordingly.

"I am taking a copy of the tape
enclosed here."

"The voices on the tape belong to myself
and to Linn Magnusson...

"CEO of Magnusson World Mining.
The content speaks for itself.

"Nils Wendt."

- I'll get back to you.
- Okay, see you.

Armed man at the entrance!

- Mette Olsäter...
- Yes.

I'm sorry.

You did what you could.

There must be some way out.

- Try! You're a fighter. You can't give up.
- I'm going home now.

One last thing...

What was the conversation about?

They look happy, don't they?

- Hello, dear.
- Hi.

- How's it going?
- The usual.

You know,
drinks and talk at every exhibit.

No, it's been fun. Lots of people.
How are you?

Listen...

I love you.

Very, very much.

Is something wrong?

No, no, no...

I love you too. You know that.

- I'll fly home early tomorrow.
- Please do.

Okay.

Sweet dreams.
