Wallander (2005–2013): Season 2, Episode 1 - Hämnden - full transcript

The small town Ystad in Sweden is suddenly struck by could-be terrorist attacks after the townhouse has an art controversial exhibition that is religious in nature. The army, secret service...

Well, Kurt, time to honour the birthday boy.

“Midway upon the journey of our life...

...“we start to seek a home of our own.

“From atop the mast we scan the mists...

...“it's to calmer seas we will be blown.

“His harbour lee he has now sighted...

...“and joyful upon the shore alighted.”

Karin.

Wonderful.

- Here it comes.
- Oh, my word.

A toolbox.



Old houses always have
something that needs fixing.

What a lot of stuff.

You can at least pretend to be a handyman
before you have to open it!

What am I supposed to...

I don't quite get it.

“Oow...”

Are you saying I'm scared of ghosts?
Afraid of the dark?

“Oow-sowner.”

House owner.

I get it.

Do people get paid for writing stuff like that?

HENNING MANKELL'S WALLANDER SERIES
THE REVENGE

Stop the exhibition!

Fuck you!



Stop the exhibition!

VIOLATION IS NOT A PRIVILEGE

And now I am a “oow-sowner” by the sea.

You've heard me go on and on
about one day living by the sea...

...and now ...

No, that's wrong.

Now we... Jussi!

Now we have a home with a sea view.

It's wonderful.

Just think.

Every morning I'll be able to get up
and listen to this sound.

Listen...

- Have another crayfish.
- No, they don't agree with him.

He doesn't know that.

- Will you be at home all night now?
- Yeah, I'm calling it a day.

- That's been unusually quiet this evening.
- Anew number, the second in two weeks.

Wester speaking.

Hi, there.

No, it's been changed
because we need the county archivist...

...and he couldn't make it before 10:00.

No, no. Never.

I'm not closing the exhibition.
It'll stay until Friday as planned.

Bye.

Council chairman Erik Wester, who rented out
the municipal hall for the exhibition...

...Was present at the opening.

The exhibition has aroused strong emotions.

At least two people have been arrested
on suspicion of vandalism...

...during an organized stone-throwing
attack on the municipal hall.

I'm done.
Are you wearing your alarm?

- You bet.
- Good.

I'll remain outside until morning.

Thanks for your help today.
I'll see you tomorrow.

What now?

Hey, Kurt, get your toolbox out.

Do you know how to change a fuse?

Wester.

Yes, I can see you.
I'll find out what's happened.

No, no problem.
I'll manage. OK, good.

- Good night.
- Good night. Sleep well.

Shit.

The entire area's blacked out.

Some idiot must've dug up
a cable or something.

- This late at night?
- It's not just here.

It looks like the whole of Ystad's down.

Martinsson speaking.

Kurt here.

Yeah, just my damn luck.

Yes, by...

Nobody here's fit to drive.

Listen,
do you know what's happened?

What's that?
The whole town?

Is that even possible?

But I have to know what's happened
and when the power will be back on.

Well, I'll be damned.
The backup generator's working!

I bet it hasn't been used since the war.

We've received around 45 automatic alarms.

We've got people stuck in elevators.

Behind electronic doors...

...trapped in garages...

What's going on?

Why is it dark?
How long will it be dark?

What's happening? You work here.
Do you know what's happened?

Excuse me!

Can everyone be quiet for two seconds?

Thank you very much.

Those of you with a report to file
can go to the desk there.

Those who want information
and are just waiting to get some...

...can sit down and make room, OK?

The CCTV has switched over to battery power.

The hospital called, and they've got
their backup systems working.

Call in all personnel we have...

...and request backup from Malmo,
Trelleborg and Simrishamn.

- Is the power out there too?
- We don't know.

A report's come in on an explosion
at a power substation up around Oja.

The fire fighters are there
and forensics are on their way.

Werner.

Call in two men and draw up
a priority list of the alarm calls.

The rest are to go into town.

We'll be in the shit whatever we do.

We're going to have to sober up.

This will take weeks, months perhaps.

What? Are we going to have to wait months
before we get the power back?

No, of course not. We'll have to try
to reroute it from elsewhere.

- How long will that take?
- I don't know.

It's never been done before.

How can a town's entire power supply
come from one substation?

I guess no one assumes
things like this will happen.

We've found ten priming spots.

For maximum effect.

Whoever did this knew what he was doing.

We're getting loads of reports
of break-ins too.

You don't black out an entire town
to steal a plasma TV.

- The couple who alerted us are here.
- Let's go and have a chat with them.

- Are you the ones who raised the alarm?
- Yes.

We were woken by the explosion.
It was a huge explosion.

- It sounded like a bomb.
- A big bomb.

- There was just one explosion?
- Yes, but it was a big one.

I noted the time
if it's of interest to your inquiries.

Did you see anyone or anything unusual?

We talked about it after we called.

We saw a car parked there
by the road last week.

I was driving by on my way
to pick up Filip from the nursery.

- Remember me telling you?
- Yes.

What kind of car was it?

Oh, God, I'm useless
at recognizing makes of car.

It was big,
maybe one of those SUVs.

And they're quite big.

- Did you see it too?
- No.

- What colour was it?
- Blue. No, maybe green.

Grayish green, and then
a man walked into the woods.

- Did you see what he looked like?
- No. It was a man.

I didn't look that closely.

He looked pretty normal.

Perhaps a bit taller than Alexander.

I"m five foot six.

Kurt here.

Wester's secretary had information
from the power company...

...and when he didn't reply,
she called the police.

I was already here and had keys...

...but I checked the apartment out thoroughly
when we came back last night.

I promise.
He must have let him in.

Stay here.

Shit!

I checked out the whole apartment last night.
I don't see how he could have gotten in.

It can...
He must've known...

Shit.

That's Wester.

Jesus Christ.

Svartman was babbling on about keys.

He said he wanted us to know it was locked.

Wester had extra protection.

Because of the exhibition.

I make it seventeen shots.

Who the hell does something like this?

Good morning, good morning.
You're tuned to P4 Radio Malmohus.

Well, many of you are waking up
to a traumatic morning...

...after that powerful,
very powerful explosion...

...at the power substation in Ystad.

It's caused huge problems for Lindstrom
and his road-watch team...

...and we'll start with cars and trucks.

What's it like out there?

All the traffic lights are out,
and there's chaos at the harbour...

...With trucks and buses everywhere.

We've been without power
for eight hours...

...and it's obviously affecting all traffic.

Many people will be wanting to commute
by train to Malmo; for example.

- Are the trains running?
- No, it's impossible.

There are no trains,
not towards Malmo or Simrishamn.

- Tough night?
- You could say that.

Daniel Florén's the name.
I write for Kvallspressen.

- I can have a comment on last night, can't I?
- Yes, it was dark.

Right, you mean the explosion
at the substation. I know.

- What about Erik Wester's murder?
- No comment.

Is there a link between the murder
and the explosion?

What about the exhibition? Do you think
that's what Ystad's being punished for?

- Or Wester?
- We've just begun our inquiries.

But you're not ruling out a link?

One more thing. Hey!

- Good morning, Ebba.
- Hello, Kurt.

- Would you like some coffee?
- Not just now.

Erik Wester?
It doesn't make sense.

Don't worry. It'll get worse.

The media hounds are already
linking it to the Mohammed exhibition.

- Couldn't they be right?
- Maybe.

Do you know how long
we'll be without power?

For another night, at least.

Damn.

Hello.

You all know what happened last night.

And there are many people out there
exploiting the situation.

But you're here because there are
two events we must prioritize.

The power substation.

The eyewitnesses gave us nothing.

We started knocking on doors
in the neighbourhood this morning.

And...

Well, that just leaves the forensics.

We've found parts of several timers...

...and since the witnesses say
there was only one explosion...

...they were synchronized...

...to the second.

In other words,
it's no beginner we're dealing with.

- Yes?
- The trainees are here.

- What?
- The trainees are here.

I heard you. But...

- Was it today?
- Yes...

...and if you'd looked at your calendar,
maybe you'd have noticed.

Hi.

Isabelle. Pontus.
We're starting here today.

Do you know what
you're meant to be doing?

No. A Wallander was supposed to show us.

That's me.
Thank you, Ebba.

You've chosen one hell of a day...

...but sit down
and we'll think of something.

So, as we were saying,
Wester lived alone and had no children.

He had extra protection
owing to the Mohammed exhibition.

Svartman.

You were there an hour or so
before the murder...

...and searched the apartment, right?

Yes, threats had been made
to his life on web sites...

...Swedish as well as foreign.

- Can they be checked out?
- I guess so.

All web sites can be traced
if you've got the right technology.

It takes time, but it's possible.

I see. Check it out.

It seems the killer got in
through the kitchen window.

It had an old, simple lock.
Easy to pick.

Outside was a wooden deck,
but no footprints...

...or fingerprints.

Nor is there any murder weapon.

The prosecutor's office is sending
the same preliminary investigator...

...for both the explosion
and the murder of Wester.

So they think they're connected?

That someone knocked out
the whole town just to murder Wester?

Don't you?

- Hey, Peter...
- Pontus.

Pontus, that's right.

- You're good with computers, right?
- Yes.

Follow me to the municipal hall.

And me?
What should I do?

You can go back to my place
and fetch my dog.

- You're joking.
- never joke.

You can get directions
from Ebba in reception.

...by the water tower,
on route 19 by the roundabout.

Stationary cars, you say.
Are there any more cars blocking traffic?

Yes, in several places.

There are stationary cars
on pretty much all routes into Ystad.

I know that the police and tow trucks
are on their way.

You'll just have to stay tuned
for further information...

...about what's happening out there.

Though right now it's a bit of a problem...

Did you see that explosion?

What the...

Another one!

Send two cars!

Kurt, wait!
Two cars have just exploded!

- Where?
- By the roundabouts.

Route 13 by the water tower
and 19 by the Malmo roundabout.

Jesus.

- Anyone injured?
- We don't know.

We can't get there.
Nothing's moving. It's total chaos.

Stay here and find out what you can.

Call the emergency services
and get a helicopter up here.

- It's in G&teborg. It'll take an hour.
- I don't care. Just get it here.

Isn't this a job for the army?

The army?
We don't have one of those either.

We should be wary of speculating...

...but we had an explosion last night
and now two car bombs.

Have you heard anything
from Ystad about a link?

Just before we went on the air...

.../ spoke to the incident commander in Ystad,
and he's not ruling out sabotage or terrorism.

Do you think this is what
everyone's saying it is?

What's that, then?

Terrorism.

I don't know.

Two cars to the route 13 roundabout now.
It's an emergency. Now.

Two cars to the roundabout.
Thanks.

What?

Yes.

I understand.

Three more car bombs.

Yes.

Can you find out who's behind
this damned exhibition?

Be discreet.

The exhibition was important to Erik.

He snatched it from under the nose
of every gallery in Scandinavia!

By the way, do you know
how it ended up here?

Well...

Because no other place in Ystad
dared to put it on.

That was when Erik decided
to rent out the municipal hall.

He was a brave man.

Disregarding the exhibition
and all the trouble surrounding it...

...have you had any threats recently?

The threats started coming...

...as soon as the council made
a decision that not everyone liked.

From people who felt “offended”.

Do you still have the emails?

All emails are public documents and are
logged at the end of every working day.

Can I have a copy of them...

...from the time they pushed
through the exhibition until now?

Yes, you can,
but there are lots of them.

There are two of us who can carry them.

Maybe we could put them onto one of these.

- Sure.
- Of course.

Sorry, but did you say they were logged
at the end of every working day?

Yes.

So he could've deleted some beforehand,
just after he received them.

It's not working.

There's still no electricity.

- One dog delivered.
- Good, thanks.

It took time as pretty much
every road is blocked off...

...but now I'm ready for a bigger challenge.

Have you got something
at the dry cleaner's, perhaps?

You and Peter can
go through Wester's email.

Are we both to do it,
me and Pontus...

...when it's obvious
that people are needed in town?

Yes, I think so.
Come on, Jussi.

“Yes, I think so.”

It's chaos down in the entrance.

They're reporting
every badly parked car in town.

Yes, yes.
Can you look after Jussi?

- Can he eat anything?
- No, you should watch out for crayfish.

- Found out anything?
- Not much.

Five approach roads,
five car bombs in two minutes.

They're on their way to Nyberg.

Three of these roads
had surveillance cameras.

If we're lucky,
we can see who dumped them.

And if we're unlucky, it's an Arab.

We're getting nowhere.
we're stuck.

Everyone available is on it.

- And how many is that?
- Not as many as we'd like.

There's a match in Malmo,
and some are on sick leave.

Ten extra, perhaps.

That's hardly enough
for a normal Saturday night.

- Come in.
- Hi. I"m looking for Kurt Wallander.

- That's me.
- Hello.

I'm Katarina Ahlsell from the prosecutor's office.

- I'm the preliminary investigator.
- Right.

- Welcome.
- Thanks.

- Jan Martinsson.
- Really? So we'll be speaking later.

Right.

As you know,
we're heading the investigation.

Into what?

The power substation
and the murder of Erik Wester.

And this morning's car bombs.

Yes, I know that.
But who's doing what?

We're working on them in parallel.

Do we know that the events are related?

- You seem to assume so.
- Not at all.

Until we can be sure,
I want separate investigations.

It'll be more efficient.
we"ll get different angles of approach.

So, who's taking what?

You were first at the scene at Wester's, so...

OK.

Good, that's that then.

- I'll divide up the group.
- Yes, do that.

See you later.

I'm sorry, but I have to go see the medical examiner.
She'll be ready with the post-mortem now.

-I understand. Can I just speak to you for a second?
- One second.

As it stands now, Martinsson will be
briefing me on both investigations...

...but then I'll want you both
to report to me regularly.

If 1 discover a link, I'll tell you.
But you'll have to keep me updated.

We can't call you every time we take
a step forward in the investigation.

You don't need to call.
Just pop your head in.

I've been given the next office.
We're neighbours.

So I'll be expecting the post-mortem report.

- Thank you.
- Bye.

Look, there really don't need to be
two of us reading Wester's email.

It's actually better
if just one person does it.

I want to be active
in the investigation instead.

You'll do what I tell you to do.

So you don't want a young woman
on your team, right?

It's just men.

- Maybe.
- There's no maybe about it.

Starting July 1, each station
is to have an equal opportunities plan.

Come with me.

I'm putting her here, in your group.

- Hi.
- Hi.

What are you looking at?

The demonstration outside
the municipal hall at the opening.

All the cars that exploded...

...have been reported stolen
in the past fortnight.

Take Svartman and ask the owners
if they saw anything suspicious.

Yes?

- Martinsson?
- Yes.

Jonathan Berglund, security police.
This is Fredrik Varg.

We understand you're in charge
of the investigation into the explosions.

- And?
- We need to see your investigation.

You'd do best to talk to Katarina Ahlsell.

She's got all I have, and more.

- What are you looking at?
- The demonstration at the hall.

Can you rewind?

- Hi, Karin.
- Hi!

Thanks for the party.
As long as it lasted, that is.

We'll have to do it again,
but next time with electricity.

- What"s going on?
- I've no idea.

How's it going?

Look here.

The cause of death
was the first shot to the head.

The bullet punctured the eyeball...

...entered the brain
and exited just above the first vertebra.

Death was instantaneous.

The skin around the entrance wound
bore traces of gunpowder...

...and was slightly charred...

...which suggests he was shot at close range.

Look at the angle.
The shot was fired diagonally from above.

He was on his knees.

Praying for his life, perhaps.

The other bullet entered through the cheek...

...glanced off the teeth
and lodged itself in his hard palate.

He would have survived that.

And the other shots to the torso?

All of them were fired after the fatal shot.

The direction shows
that he was already lying on the floor.

- How many were there?
- Fifteen.

What do you know about the gun?

A 9mm 39B.

- You'll have to ask Nyberg about the rest.
- OK. Thanks, Karin.

A car's been parked
outside our apartment for two days.

- Here's the number.
- And the address where this car is?

Excuse me, but what's your game?

I've been sitting here for two hours
waiting for information...

...but nothing happens!

It's bad enough being scared
of getting blown sky high...

...but now they're shooting our politicians!

What are you doing? What's happening?
Why aren't you out arresting them right now?

- We don't know who they are yet.
- Then you're the only ones who don't.

They're down there at the square.
They're even under police protection.

But what about us?
Who's protecting us?

Exactly!
Start by closing the exhibition!

No way!

They can't come here and tell us
what we can have on our walls.

All those who have an opinion to express,
please can you step back.

And those who actually
have business here, step forwards.

I still haven't had an answer to my question.

- What are you going to do about it?
- We're trying to work on it.

But right now you're holding us up!

The surveillance footage gave us nothing.

We cant tell the sex,
although the size suggests it's a man...

...but we can't be sure.

Nor can we see if it's
the same person leaving the cars.

Time-wise, it's possible,
but we don't know.

We've spoken to the people
who had their cars stolen.

They saw nothing unusual
before they were stolen.

Nor did their neighbours or colleagues.

We've found traces of pentyl and mineral oil
on the transformer and in the cars...

...which suggests an explosive.

Do we know where it comes from?

I can find out if we find more of it.

The same applies to the gun
that killed Wester.

It was a Glock 17.

- That's all I can say.
- It's our old service weapon.

17-round magazine.

So the killer emptied the magazine into his body.

What would make someone so damn angry?

Anyway...

...the Glock and the bullets
are pretty much untraceable.

They're just too common.

As for the motive, we haven't got
much more apart from the exhibition.

And we've searched his computer...

...and are trying to map his last days.

Martinsson!

- Who the hell called them in?
- The Chief Commissioner.

The security police are also here.

- Who brought them here?
- They brought themselves.

Maybe we should go down and...

Major Vikstrom. 'm in charge
of the emergency squad that you've called in.

- Wallander. What are you doing here?
- Well, some threats have been made.

- Hello.
- Martinsson.

- Any signs they might strike again?
- No.

- Has any group claimed responsibility?
- No one's accepted responsibility for anything.

But there was trouble last night,
as we understand it.

Anders!
Over here a second.

This is my colleague, Anders Lindstrom.

He knows the area and is in charge
of strategic military planning.

Local knowledge.
Are you from town?

No, but I was stationed
at the barracks here for many years.

I was in charge of something
we call disaster preparedness.

Drew up plans
for different conceivable scenarios.

I hope we won't have to use them...

...but it's nice to know they exist
in case something like this happens.

So what happens now?

Right now we're protecting
the water supply...

...and bearing in mind
what happened in London and Madrid...

...we've got people on buses and trains.

And at the municipal hall, of course...

...which I understand is the obvious target
for as long as this exhibition remains.

Do you think it was Islamic
fundamentalists who killed Wester?

Provoked people strike back sooner or later.

Sooner, if religion's involved.

What now? Impose a curfew?
Shut down this damned exhibition?

- They'd never agree to that.
- Who's “they”?

Everyone. Us, them, society.

It's a matter of principle.
Freedom of expression.

MURDERER

Shouldn't you be going home?

You've been here for almost 24 hours.

At least the ferries are going.

It's nice to know that
something seems to be working.

- Talk to me.
- I've already told you everything.

You've told me what you know.

I want to know what you think.

I'm no expert on terrorism...

.but try to keep myself informed.

But I've never once read
of a chain of events like this one.

But on the other hand, it seems difficult
to imagine it being a coincidence.

That it's hitting us now,
when the exhibition's here.

But at the same time...

...the murder...

Seventeen shots.

Fifteen when Wester's already dead.

It doesn't sound like
the same efficient terrorists...

...who blow up five cars
in the space of two minutes.

But still...

...the murder...

...seems personal.

Private.

- So two separate perpetrators?
- Possibly.

But it still feels as if they're connected.

It's just a hunch.

I don't know.
This is all new to me.

To us all.

It's not exactly what I expected
when I moved here from Stockholm.

What had you been expecting?

Something else.

A little less, I guess.

That it'd be calmer, a bit more...

.idyllic.

Well, you know...

.it is. Well, it used to be,
until this happened.

Have you lived here long?

Yes. Along time.

Although now I've bought a house...

...by the sea.

- Where are you staying?
- In a hotel.

But just for two days until
the moving vans and my family arrive.

- Are you married?
- Divorced.

It's my children who are coming.

Extremely reluctantly, I might add.

Do you have children?

Yes.

Is this her?

Yes.

Hey, there, Jussi.
I think he needs his evening walk.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Go home and get some sleep.

Excuse me.
Come, I want to show you something.

Look.
It's a recent news broadcast.

What did he look like?

He was dark, with a beard.

Looked a little like...

What can I say? An Arab.

Jesus Christ.

What are these people like?

Well, they've made up their minds
at least on who's to blame.

- Are you surprised?
- No.

Out you get.
There you go.

Hell.

No, not that.

Don't eat that.

Come here!

What the hell?

Dear me.

What are you doing?

What are you doing here?

The power's still off.

I felt it best to be here
in case something happens.

Britt?

And you?
Why haven't you gone home?

I'm going through the material once more.
See if we've missed anything maybe.

- Talk about ambitious.
- Not really.

It feels a bit personal, all this with Wester.
I was supposed to keep him alive.

I thought I saw something.

Can't you relax?

Can't you relax?

No?

Should we go and work?

Should we go and work?

Let's go and work.

Come on, Jussi.
Let's go and work.

EXHIBITION BEHIND MURDERS IN YSTAD
DRINKING WATER THREATENED

MUSLIM DEATH LIST

- Halt!
- I'll take care of this.

Good morning, Wallander.

Out so early?

- We don't have a curfew yet, do we?
- No!

But the area around the water towers
is a bit sensitive.

- Sorry about the dog thing, by the way.
- He'll survive.

I thought I'd go down
and get a few hours' sleep.

Go on up to the tower.

Lindstrom's there.
'm sure he picked up some coffee.

- See you later.
- Thanks.

They knock out the infrastructure.
People isolate themselves at home.

It doesn't take much
to poison a whole town.

Frighteningly little, actually.

We're so incredibly vulnerable.

Do you think we would have been less so...

...if we'd had a permanent military presence?

Not necessarily.

But it's not like we're living
in a safer world, exactly.

It's still society's weakest...

...women, children, the old, who suffer most.

No, if you ask me, the army
is essential to a healthy civil society.

Yes.

So this would never have happened
if we still had the regiment here?

That's not what I'm saying.

But I think we make people feel secure...

...and that should be worth something,
shouldn't it?

I actually think the police
could learn a lot from us.

Anyway, it was you who called us in
when all hell broke loose here.

What's your opinion?

Why are they doing this?

Maybe they think
we deserve it in some way.

Has anyone claimed responsibility
for the whole thing?

Not yet, which I find a bit strange.

Terrorists usually like
to tell everyone it was them.

Wallander here.

The victim is one Britt Collin, 49.
Multiple shot wounds.

- What work did she do?
- I don't know.

- I can find out.
- Do so now.

Call people in to do the rounds.

Seems to be the same story.

Who called to report it?

Her husband.
It appears he was at home.

Couldn't he do anything?

He's in a wheelchair. Shock.

They've just taken him out.

Hey, wait!
Stop!

Stop.

My name's Kurt Wallander,
Ystad police.

- Did you see who did this?
- He shot her.

- Did you see who shot your wife?
- Again and again.

- Can't you see he's in shock?
- I know he's in shock...

...but I must talk to him now.

Did your wife know Erik Wester?

Please, you must try to help me.

'M trying to find the man
who shot your wife.

So did your wife know Erik Wester?

- Where does she work?
- At the job center.

Part-time.

I'm a bit poorly...

.50 she thinks that's enough.

Do you know if anyone
had been threatening her?

Or had she fallen out
with someone recently?

I couldn't help her.

I couldn't help her.

Britt was 15 years his junior.
Maybe she and Wester were having an affair?

That doesn't necessarily mean
she was being unfaithful.

I know.

I just wanted it to be something as banal
and tangible as jealousy or something.

- Something tangible.
- But if she was being unfaithful?

Who'd have gotten so angry about it?
Wester was divorced, wasn't he?

There's a link.

- There's Wallander!
- Just a quick question, Wallander!

Did you know Britt Collin sent two youths
to work on the Mohammed exhibition...

...on one of those job schemes
for the unemployed?

No.

They were there to help set it up...

...and are still there as sort of general help.

This means there's a link between
the killings and the exhibition!

If you say so.

Was it the same person
who killed Collin and shot Wester?

You know I have no comment
to make on that.

You can say something, can't you?

...early this morning,
a woman was found dead...

...With multiple shot wounds.

Kurt.

- I've gone through Wester's email now.
- OK.

- Did you find anything?
- He wasn't very popular, you could say.

He received a lot of threats,
mostly about the exhibition.

- Could you trace any?
- Yes. Quite a few, actually.

I've made a list of them.

Go to the job center
and get Collin's work computer.

Check if she got any too.

- Won't I need a warrant?
- Just bring it here.

Is it true, the link
between Collin and Wester?

It would seem so.

You know the counter-demonstration's
grown in numbers, right?

And this won't cheer you up either.

The Minister of Defense is on her way.

“Since the town is under attack,
the Minister is coming to Ystad...

...“to give her support
and to show that the government...

...“takes such attacks on democracy seriously.”

- When's she due?
- This afternoon.

With her family.

I guess we'll need backup from Malmg, right?

She's scheduled to address the public in the town square
and then hold a press conference at 5:00 p.m.

- The copy.
- Thanks, Peter.

- Pontus.
- Pontus.

- Martinsson!
- Yes?

Here's the list of people
who threatened Wester.

- Let's give it to the security police and go.
- Are we going to arrest them?

No, first we'll go see Collin
and see if he recognizes any of the names.

If not, we'll arrest the lot of them.

- Thank you very much.
- I hope it will be useful.

We'll be in touch if necessary.
I hope that's OK.

Yes, OK. Bye.

- What's she doing here?
- She just helped us with our inquiries.

We interviewed her on the night
of the explosion. She knew nothing then.

- Maybe you asked the wrong kinds of questions.
- Yes, I think we did.

What she said on TV.
Someone's convinced her she saw that.

She identified the man she saw in the woods.

Recognize him?

- No.
- We're bringing him in now.

Here's a list of the people
who threatened Wester.

Take a look at them if you have time.

We want a local officer involved in the investigation
to accompany us and arrest the suspect.

We insist on it.

You can take Isabelle to the hospital instead.

I'll drive.

Stupid old fart.

Jaul Malik?

Security police.
We want to ask you some questions.

...several fires in cafés and shops...

...including a Lebanese restaurant
along the shopping arcade.

It seems as if many of these attacks...

...are aimed at Muslim and Arab targets.

They certainly are brave.

Not to say foolhardy.

What should they do?
Stay indoors?

No...

...but people might find them walking
in a group like that provocative.

Yes, but we have religious freedom in Sweden.

They're entitled to wear a veil.

Are you questioning that right?

Not at all.

What would you say if Ebba
in reception came to work in a veil?

Id think it was...

...strange.

A bit weird, maybe.

Especially if she came and asked about
our equal opportunities plan.

You find it hard to make sense of it, don't you?

What do you mean?

That women are prepared to go
to such lengths for their rights.

No, but I think it's a bit complicated.

How old are you?

62.

- Hi, it's Karin. Do you have a second?
- Yes, but make it quick.

- I'm at the hospital.
- Nothing's happened, I hope?

Hopefully there's someone here
who might be able to help us.

I can give you a preliminary on Britt Collin.

Two shots to the head,
both immediately fatal.

Fifteen shots to the torso and arms...

...fired while the victim was on the floor.

OK.

The same M.O.

Yes, the same M.O.
and the same caliber of bullet.

Nyberg has the bullets.
He can tell you if it's the same gun.

- Thanks, Karin.
- Take care.

I told him you're coming.

He's on a sedative,
but he's still in quite a state.

- So I don't want you staying too long.
- No. OK.

Hello.

I'm sorry to disturb you...

...but could you look
at the names on this list?

- Sorry.
- Thanks.

What's going on?

Call for backup.

A shooting at the hospital.
Gunman still in the building.

Send backup!

Police!

Nobody move.

Everyone freeze!

Hey, you!

Stop!

Stop!

Kurt!

- What the hell are you playing at?
- Don't open the door.

If that nurse had anything to do with
the Mohammed exhibition, I want to know!

If not, I want to know
how she's linked to Collin and Wester!

And I want to hear it from you
and not fucking journalists!

Get the hospital manager down
to the station ASAP.

Jaul, tell me something.

We have Jesus on T-shirts.

He's a musical.

He's photographed as gay.

We don't go blowing things up for that.

I haven't blown anything up.
All I've done is demonstrated.

And how you depict Jesus is up to you.

It just shows your lack of faith.

Id like a word.

- What is it that can't wait?
- A nurse has just been shot.

Now, while Jaul was here.

So Jaul blows things up
while someone else does the shooting.

Was that all?

Yes.

When you did your military service
in Syria, did you blow things up?

It was part of the training.

So you can handle plastic explosives?

Yes.

- Everything all right?
- Yeah, OK.

The bastards.

I"m cross-referencing Wester's
and Collin's computers, but it'll take time.

Look, we have no damn time.

Jaul Malik admits to being a member
of the Swedish-Arabic Friendship Society.

It could be them behind it all.

That society has existed
for much longer than the exhibition.

The national rapid response squad
is meeting us in Lund.

- So you're heading there now?
- Exactly.

Then let me say
thank you very much for the help.

Where's Wallander?

I want to talk to Wallander!

Will you stop this?
Is this really necessary?

I have a hospital that really needs me!

- Now!
- Please take a seat.

What is it you want?

Did Gunilla Polhem have anything to do
with the Mohammed exhibition?

I was her boss.

I have no idea what she did
in her free time.

Do you know anything about
any connection with Collin and Wester?

She worked at the hospital for 20 years.

- Something must have happened.
- What do you mean?

Did she make any mistakes?

Jesus Christ, everyone
makes mistakes at some point.

But nothing that she deserved to get shot for!

No.

But I'd still like the log books from her unit.

No way.

- The Secrecy Act...
- Let's forget about the act.

You know as well as I do
what's needed to override the act.

Your consideration for the law is touching...

...but you're holding up a murder inquiry...

...and I can damn well report you for that.

Are you threatening me?

No, but look around at what's happening!

The town crawling with soldiers!

Security police hunting terrorists
under every damn bush!

A government raving
on about national security!

People afraid of strangers with straight noses!

And it's my job to solve
three murders in public places!

And maybe a fourth's being planned,
and it could be you.

So if you're sitting there
keeping something from me...

...I'd advise you to come out with it!

- Have you got a moment?
- Yes.

I've checked all the CCTV footage
from yesterday morning...

...when the cars exploded.

- Haven't you slept in the past 24 hours?
- No.

I wanted to find out where the cars were from.

Look.

If you mark where they were stolen,
not where the owners live...

There, there, there,
there and there.

See?

See what's there in the middle and at the end
of the road where the cameras are?

- The old barracks.
- Yes.

With enough space to hide five cars.

Good.

- Very good work, Svartman.
- We'll see. I'll go and check it out.

Do that, but don't go alone.

Six years ago,
a boy died in the hospital.

The parents said his death...

...was caused by his receiving
the wrong treatment.

They appealed in vain
to the Disciplinary Offenses Board...

.50 they took it further and further
until I was summoned to the EU court.

- You personally?
- Yes.

Shortly before the boy's death...

...I' had to accept cuts that meant
that staffing levels were affected.

An over-stressed and worn out nurse...

...had been careless...

...the parents said.

It was my fault.

Do you think
they were justified in thinking so?

It's been so long...

...but probably.

The nurse in charge of the boy
that day was Gunilla Polhem.

Might the boy have survived?

- What were the parents' names?
- I can't remember.

OK...

...but find out.

Here.

Kurt speaking.

- It's Nyberg. Do you have a minute?
- Sure.

The bomb from the hospital
was an m/46 plastic explosive.

Army stuff.

We're checking to see
if there've been any reports of theft.

Good.
And the silencer?

It could very well belong to a Glock.

A Glock was also reported stolen...

...from the barracks
when they closed down in '97.

I'll ask Lindstrom if they suspected anyone.

Svartman's on his way there.

The cars that were blown up
might've been parked there.

Good, good. Call me
when you hear something. Bye.

Thank you.

The boy's name was Henrik Franzén.

- His father's name was Anders.
- Anders Franzén?

No, they weren't married.

His name was Lindstrom.
Anders Lindstrom.

Hi. Contact Vikstrom.

Tell him we're looking for Lindstrom,
but he mustn't know anything.

He was on nights,
so he's probably at home in Bellevue.

Send a riot squad.

Isabelle, go with him.
Call me as soon as you get something.

I have the link, and it's nothing
to do with the exhibition.

- Good day. Hugo Anderson.
- Svartman, Ystad police.

- You called?
- I need to get inside the building.

- What are you looking for?
- I can't say.

- No?
- Got the keys?

- Yeah, yeah.
- Thanks.

Clear!

Clear!

Alpha 1, the building's secure.

Copy that.

Calling all units:
the power's back on in Ystad.

The power's back on.

- Svartman to command center, over.
- Command center. Go ahead, over:.

I need forensics at the old barracks. Out.

Wester was municipal chairman
when the barracks was closed down.

- But it wasn't his decision.
- No, but he got into a lot of shit for it.

He was said to be more interested
in his status in Stockholm...

...than in trying to save the regiment.

And Lindstrom lost his job
and was given to Collin.

And according to this,
he thought she defamed him...

...that she was hostile towards him.

And we know he blamed Polhem
for his son's death.

Speaking.

He's not here.

Yes, we'll go through it,
but it'll take time.

Hang on.

Why would he want to cause
a blackout and blow up cars?

I guess he wanted to show Ystad
how much we need the regiment...

...and how vulnerable we are without it.

- He loses the plot when it's disbanded.
- But why now?

The barracks was closed down years ago.
The job center and his son were also years ago.

That was Isabelle.

He probably doesn't have long left.

Cancer.

- Hi.
- Hi. Good, you're here.

- Have you seen Lindstrom?
- He left about an hour ago.

- Where to?
- He's part of the escort.

- What escort?
- The Minister's.

She's just arrived in Ystad.

Hello.

Hello, nice to meet you.

- Welcome.
- Thank you.

Come along, Alice.
Alice and Anton, come.

You can wait here with Daddy,
and I'll call you up later, OK?

Everything OK?

I can but try to imagine...

...what you've been going through recently.

But I do know what Sweden has gone through.

And we're angry.

The security police have requested reinforcements
from the rapid response squad. Over.

We're ready. Over.

The recent actions...

...against your town...

...and, by extension, our nation...

...are despicable.

But if we give in to the fear...

...then they have won.

So I've decided to come here today to you...

...with my family...

...to say we will never give in to fear.

I'll be with you in a minute.

I know that some of you have been shouting...

“It's at times like this
we really need a regiment here...

“a strong defence...”

and you've cursed us politicians
for disbanding it.

But to you I want to say that we...

The killer is dangerous.
There's a suspected explosive.

...however many regiments we have...

...we can never protect ourselves...

...from those intent on harming
our open society.

All we can do is strike back...

...with the weapon that we have...

...justice.

- Got the podium covered?
- Yes.

Repeat: suspected explosive.

And I can tell you now
that at this very moment...

...we are raiding a suspected terrorist cell...

...here, in our safe and secure Skane.

So, of course.

Sure we need an army.

But must it look like it did 50,
or even 10 years ago?

No, because the enemy is different
from what it was 50 or 10 years ago.

So, in closing, let me say to you...

hat ), my family...

...and the entire country feel for you...

...and I hope that we never...

Wait for it.

...experience something like this again.

He's got a bomb! A bomb!

Alice!

Martin!

Martin!

If you shoot me, I'll drop this.

If 1 drop this,
the whole square goes up!

- Are you afraid?
- Mommy!

Are you afraid, I said!

Are you afraid?

I thought we weren't meant
to give in to fear.

- Please.
- Please, what?

- Your children?
- My children. I have a family.

I too had a family.
I had a job. I had a whole damn life!

- Until you decided to snatch them away!
- Wait. Hold your fire.

- What have I done? I don't understand.
- You disbanded the regiment.

I didn't...

Shut it!
You're just like all the others.

You who decide things.
You who sit up there...

...and then you come down here to us
normal people to get photographed...

...and you goon and on
about how you'll protect us.

- What do you want me to do?
- Nothing because it's too late.

- Anders.
- Back off?

Don't do this.

Please, back off.

Why are you doing this?

- I don't get why you're doing this.
- People have aright to feel secure.

- Mommy!
- Alice!

- Let go, Alice! Please!
- Get her away from here.

- Alice, go back to Daddy now.
- Alice!

- Anders.
- Get rid of the kid, I said!

Alice, do you hear me? Go.

Will you get rid of the kid, I said!

Anders...

...you were right.

Your son was given the wrong treatment.

They've admitted it.

That's enough now.

Please.

This won't help to bring your son back.

Why should her husband
have to go through the same thing?

- Pick her up.
- Don't! Don't move!

Pick her up.

What's he saying?

You want me to pick...

Come to Mommy. Come.

Know what you said when we last spoke?

You said it was women, children
and the old who suffer most.

And it was them you wanted to protect.

You're not a killer
of innocent people, Anders.

And these people have done nothing.

Let them go.

Let them go, Anders.

Right jacket pocket.
The key.

Carefully.

You swap places.

- I want a car.
- Take mine.

Listen.

Listen to me.

No one is to follow us. No one.
Not the helicopter, not one damn person!

If I see anyone,
I'll blow us both sky high. Got it?

OK.

No one's to follow us.

I'll drive.

How?

Get out.

I can't, and you know that.

You know I'm sick, don't you?

No way am I going to spend
my final days in a cell.

I can't let you go.

In that case, you'll die with me.

Do you want to die?

Not yet.

So get out.

OK.

What the...

I said we weren't to be followed!

I know.

Have you seen this?

“Where next attack was being planned.”

And here: “Bomb made in kitchen.”

The security police did their job, at least.

Does it say anything
about the Defence Minister?

Sure.
Four-page center spread.

Mostly about her in tears.

But nothing about Lindstrom.

Sure.

“Madman who took the Minister
hostage is a former soldier.

“He is thought to be behind
the recent chaos in Ystad.”

So it's “chaos” now, eh?
Not “terror” anymore.

Apparently.

It says here that the roving exhibition...

...“Three Views of the Prophet”,
also known as the Mohammed exhibition...

...has now been dismantled
and is on its way to Glasgow.

Then we'll have to offer our sympathies
to our dear colleagues in Glasgow.

Right. Time for Jussi's walk.

Nyberg, you're in charge.

Jussi!

No swimming.

Jussi!

No, Jussi.

What are you doing here?
sorry.

- Is he your dog?
- Yes.

- Did you get wet?
- It's OK.

Jussi.

Kurt!

- Hello!
- Hi!

...
- What are you doing here?

- Are you the one moving in?
- Yes.

OK.

So then we're neighbours.

How nice!
OK.

- This is my daughter, Hanna.
- Hello.

And there's an Elias up there,
sitting and sulking in front of a video game.

- Can I give you a hand?
- No, I... I'm just unpacking.

I'd offer you a cup of coffee,
but I'm afraid I don't know where it is.

I'd best go back
and help with the dishes.

OK.

Good-bye.

Come on, Jussi.

- Come on, Jussi!
- Good-bye.

Come on.
