Spring Tide (2016–…): Season 1, Episode 9 - Episode #1.9 - full transcript

Abbas manages to deliver all of the material to Mette and her group. When they listen the recorded phone call between Linn Magnusson and Nils Wendt on the cassette tape, they go straight to Linn Magnusson's house. But they get there too late. Olivia is frustrated that they haven't come further with the Beach Case, but decides to get revenge on the person who killed her cat. She is certain that she knows who it was. Stilton visits his burned-down trailer, where someone tried to kill him the night before. He realises that the police don't intend to spend any time on the investigation of Vera Larsson's murder and the assaults on homeless people. He will just have to take care of it himself. Olivia sorts her laundry and in the pocket of a jacket, she finds a picture that Stilton drew - an earring that was found in a coat that belonged to the woman on the beach in Nordkoster. Suddenly, Olivia realises where she has seen the earring before.

A brutal murder was committed
in the late summer of 1990.

Our eight-year-old witness
saw it from a distance.

Could you call or email me
when you hear this?

- Hi. I'm Ove Gardman.
- Hi.

The Nordkoster and Wendt murders
are connected. It's now one investigation.

An earring was found
in the coat on the beach.

- What did it look like?
- The stone was blue.

I also received threats
when I investigated Jackie Berglund.

I found this today.
The name a guy who threatened me.

Chivas Mondo.

You think they find their victims at
Slussen and then follow them?



Let's make a deal. If I get them,
you quit drugs and go to rehab.

Yeah, sure.

Did we solve the problem with the kid?
I've found us a new location, too.

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

- Is that the stuff from Mal País?
- Swedish stamp.

- Postmark?
- 5 September 1990.

That's 7 days after the murder.

Do you have an old cassette player?

You're a fighter,
you can't just give it up.

- Hello, dear.
- I love you.

Very, very much.

I love you too.

Jan Nyström was found in his car
in a lake this morning, dead.

- So I heard.
- So?



Well, what am I supposed to say?

I know you're prepared to stoop low,
Linn, but to murder?

- No one can tie it to us.
- But we know.

We know nothing unless we want to!

- Christ, why are you so upset?
- An innocent person was murdered.

- That's your opinion!
- And what's yours?

- I solved a problem.
- By murdering a journalist?

By making sure no lies
are spread about this company!

- How did you do that?
- I don't know.

- Picked up the phone and made a call?
- Yes.

"Hi, this is Linn Magnusson.
I'd like to get rid of Jan Nyström."

Something like that.

Then he was murdered?
He died...

Linn.

SPRING TIDE

Hello? Linn?

Call an ambulance.

- Then he was murdered?
- He died in a car accident.

What was the price tag?

50.000.

Did you know about the murder?

Sorry, but I...
didn't get much sleep last night.

I didn't get any.
Did you know about it?

No.

- And the tape?
- Not the content.

We believe Wendt played parts
over the phone to Linn...

- intending blackmail. Right?
- Yes.

- Did he want money?
- No...

Revenge is how he put it.

What for?

He didn't go into details.

This conversation gives Linn a fairly
strong motive to eliminate Wendt.

Linn is no murderer.

You just heard her order
a journalist's death.

28 years ago.

Under what were probably
highly stressful circumstances.

Linn was a different person then.

This tape was delivered
to the CID around midnight.

A few hours later, Linn killed herself.

She realized it would all go public...

So she faced the consequences.

I can understand that.
But I don't understand...

how she knew that we received
that tape last night.

- Do you?
- No.

We were very close...

Linn and I.

Very close.

Were you lovers?

It wasn't like that.

But I knew her better than anyone else.

Apart, perhaps, from her husband.

That's how I know.

Know what?

That Linn didn't kill Nils Wendt.

Then who did? You?

No.

Do you know who did it?

No.

Do you think she shot herself
due to that tape?

I don't know,
but it's entirely plausible.

- Did Tom stay at Abbas' place?
- Yes...

Tom told me he had a criminal past,
or something.

That's an understatement.

Abbas sold fake luxury bags
all over Europe.

He was involved in violent crime,
came to Sweden and was arrested.

Luckily, Tom was in charge
and passed him to us.

- To CID?
- No, to me and Marten.

We were his sponsors
and they became very good friends.

- I have to run.
- So what happens now?

Well... It will be even harder now.

Linn's still our main suspect...

but it'll be much harder
to prove she killed Wendt.

- And Adelita's murder?
- Probably even harder.

What about Jackie Berglund?

Ruled out for now.
Unless we uncover new evidence.

Well...

We interviewed Bertil Magnusson
this morning.

He didn't have much to say,
he was still in shock.

- And you?
- I talked to Alexander Nordin.

He confirmed that
Wendt was blackmailing Linn.

But I guess it's related
to Adelita's murder.

- Wendt thought Linn was involved?
- Yes.

Could she have been?

- I guess we'll never know.
- Why don't we look into this?

This letter, signed "Adelita",
was sent 7 days after her murder.

We should be able to check on the stamp
for DNA from Linn Magnusson.

- Saliva works after 25 years, right?
- Absolutely.

Bloody cat killer!

Olivia.

Hi, it's Ove Gardman.
I'm in Stockholm now so if you...

Can I call you back?
I have my hands full.

Sure. Bye!

- What happened to your hand?
- Oh... I ran into a bit of trouble.

- Trouble? You were in a fight.
- A little one.

You're bruised.
Yes, you are. Let me see.

- Hi! There you are!
- Hi!

- Ove, this is Lennie, my friend...
- I'm Ove.

I know.
I've heard lots about you.

Really? What have you heard?

As a boy, you saw that beach murder
Olivia's working on.

- Right.
- And you're a marine biologist.

That you just got back from Costa Rica.

- That's right.
- Have I missed anything?

No, I don't think so.

Must have been awful, seeing a murder.
You weren't very old.

- No, I was about 9.
- Not very cocky.

I had nightmares for a long time.

- Now you're a marine biologist?
- Yes.

- Going out with Jakob?
- Yeah.

We are clubbing at Berns,
want to join us?

Sounds like fun.
But I have an early train tomorrow.

Well, you know where to find us.

- Say hi to Jakob.
- I will.

- Nice to meet you.
- You too.

Another beer?
Two more beers, please.

So that was Lennie.

Still catching up.

Mette?

You're pushing yourself too hard.
You're not as young as you once were.

- No sleep for 24 hours, that's not...
- Please don't start about that again...

I do what I have to do, you know that.
I have no choice.

And I only have one Mette.

Know what?

I picked up some Viagra today.

I'll get you some water.

- Who do you think torched the caravan?
- Well...

Probably the people who killed
the woman who lived in it.

When's your next trip?

About a month from now.

- I'm going to the Philippines.
- Wow!

- How long will you be gone?
- A few weeks.

- Have you been there?
- No. Can I tag along?

We can Skype.

- That's romantic.
- Yes, it is. It's what they do.

- Who?
- People who Skype.

- Hello.
- In the kitchen.

- I'm off to work but dying of curiosity.
- What about?

The weather! How did it go?

Seeing each other again?
He's so cool, so hot and exactly your...

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

Your early train?

- Yeah... I rebooked a later one.
- Coffee?

- No... don't want to intrude.
- Sit.

- Okay. I bought pastry.
- Yum!

Healthy.

- May I?
- Go ahead.

Would you like to stay?

Klinga speaking.

It's me, Stilton.

- Oh, hi. How are you?
- Any evidence near the caravan?

Yes, we found a petrol can in the woods.
But no prints.

- Were you inside when they torched it?
- Yes.

Bloody hell!

For a while there,
we thought you'd burned to death...

You know that Acke Andersson
was assaulted?

- Yes.
- Forss doesn't care?

No. That's not true.

What do you mean? Think the same guys
torched the caravan?

Hello?

Catch you later. Bye.

The fights are back on.

- When?
- From tomorrow.

A new location out in Värmdö,
they'll be in touch...

Look.

How the hell did he get out?

Let's go.

Hello, lads!

- Fancy a beer?
- Fucking drunk! - Oops!

Get up!
- A YouTube moment?

- Get up!
- Get him!

Look at that, he's... Come on!

Come on! Come on!

Let's get busy!

Enjoying this?

There's a better way.

I'll bring them in.

Adam opened the door.
I started filming.

She went crazy and started fighting.

Adam hit her back and then...

And then that fucking gas bottle...

Adam bashed her in the head with it
and then...

- I don't fucking know.
- She died.

We didn't mean to!

We didn't mean to kill her.
Don't you see that?

I wasn't even in the caravan,
Adam just lost it...

- Your tattoos.
- What about them?

- Show them. Show them!
- All right...

Shit! Press pause!
Pause the bloody clip!

Who's talking in the background?

I don't know the voice.

- We have to contain this.
- What?

The whole damn thing!

The clip's online.
- Who the hell posted it? Who did this?

- What, who caught them?
- Yes, that's our job!

How will this look?
Serving them on a plate to us...

- What matters is that we have them.
- That's your damn opinion!

Bloody hell!

- You saw the tattoos?
- Yes, I saw the tattoos.

Then Stilton was right after all.

Shut up!

- When was this?
- A few hours ago.

- And now you're in custody?
- Yeah.

We're a dynamic duo, Stilton.
Like Batman and Robin. Pow!

The bad guys are behind bars!

How does it feel... that
the clowns are behind bars?

Feels okay.

Okay? Show some enthusiasm, man!
Celebrations are in order.

- How's Acke?
- Acke's fine. Going home tomorrow.

How are you? Where are you staying?

- At Abbas' place.
- The Arab?

- Can't we rest a while?
- No, we can't.

- Move it!
- I'll stay here.

I'll do the next round.

Why do you do this all the time, Daddy?

It's a riddle that needs solving.

- I'm really good at riddles.
- Yes, I know.

- Maybe I can help you.
- This is a very tricky riddle.

Come along, Olivia. Time to go.

- "Linn is no murderer..."
- What?

Nordin was very emphatic about that.

- He's rather biased, though, isn't he?
- True, but he sounded very sincere.

- Heard more about the stamp?
- No. The results come in today.

- A long shot if you ask me.
- Nobody did.

Hi. Come in.
- Hi.

- Olivia.
- I'm Lisa.

You didn't come for coffee.

No, I've been thinking about that letter
to "Dan Nilsson" you read in my kitchen.

If Linn Magnusson wrote it...

she'd have known about
Wendt and Adelita's relationship...

that he used the name Dan Nilsson
and had that address in Mal País.

How could she?
She'd never met Adelita.

Adelita had just arrived
from Costa Rica.

But maybe Adelita was drowned
in that cruel way...

to make her say who she was,
what she was doing there...

and to reveal Wendt's whereabouts.

If it wasn't Linn, then who did it?
What have we missed?

Mum?

How long do I have to use this?

Not that long.
Just until your legs get stronger.

Listen, let's go to McDonald's?

- Can we go to Grönan instead?
- Yeah, that's a much better idea.

Of course he should go to the funfair.
No problem. It will be all right.

How are you doing, Acke?

Those guys that beat me up...
What if they come back?

They won't. They're looking at 10 years
or more in Kumla Prison.

- You can get even when they get out.
- Come on!

You'll be 20 by then, in your prime.

And I'll spar with you.
I used to box, you know.

I had a mean right.
Check it out...

Poff! Out of nowhere!
I was badder than Ingo.

Liam Olsson is 19.

He grew up in a middle-class home
in Tullinge. Unemployed.

And Adam Sharew... Shaaarew...

- Let's deal with the Swede first.
- They're both Swedes.

You've admitted to 5 counts
of aggravated assault...

one count of manslaughter,
and one count of arson.

There's one more thing we need to know.

When and where is the next cage fight?

Drop to the floor! Drop!

Lie down and don't move.

Don't move! Don't move!
On the ground!

We're talking about betting
on little boys fighting in cages?

Yes.

- This happens in Sweden?
- I'm not surprised.

- How did you find out about it?
- Undercover police efforts...

- Good job, Forss....top priority.
- Why didn't you move earlier?

It was under surveillance,
but the right people had to be present.

- Do you know who was in charge?
- Of course. But I can't comment.

- That online clip...
- Hi, Klinga!

...two young men with
cage fighting tattoos.

- Where did it come from?
- I can't say.

- Why is that?
- It's classified information...

What the devil!

- How are you?
- A lot better.

I think I'll be going home soon.

Right! What home?

- Yeah... Some shelter, I guess.
- I went to Ronny's shop.

Black Balsam.
Latvian writer's fuel. 43%.

Well, well...

How's Muriel?

I don't know. She's lonely.

Yeah, she needs someone
to take care of her.

She was like a mother to me.

Always checking if I was eating
and sleeping properly.

Always there with a big hug.

They're in custody now, those boys.

In a lock-up at the station.

Were you involved?

Remember our deal?

The results are back on that stamp.

And Linn Magnusson didn't lick it.

- Then nothing ties her to the beach case.
- No...

And if she didn't kill Wendt...

We have no leads in either case. Great.

Something bothers me
about that birthmark!

Seen it before?

- Yes.
- Where?

If I knew, it wouldn't be bothering me.

- Where are you?
- At home.

Already?
- I got a ride from Strömstad.

He looked pretty shocked this morning.

- Lennie?
- Yeah. - Serves him right.

I had a nice time.

Me too.

- What are you doing?
- Folding laundry.

Missing you a little.

Couldn't you come and see me
this weekend?

I might. I'll check and call tomorrow.

- Sweet dreams.
- You too.

She seems like a good kid.

Olivia?

- Arne's only child?
- Yes.

What's it like to be in touch with her?

Why do you ask?

- Does it bother you?
- No.

- Can you cheat at this?
- Sure.

Now I know who I saw wearing this,
or one just like it.

Hi, Tom.

What earring?

She's sure?

Of course!
