Hello
Hi! Where are you off to?
To a party
Well
" The association of senior police officers invites you to attend it's AGM.''
''To thank retiring members for their services and to welcome new members''
''Buffet and dance at the Ystad Saltsjöbad Hotel'' I didn't know this was your sort of thing
I've been doing it for the past 30 years Half tradition, half duty
-Need help? -Please
Today it's in Ystad. It does not look good if I am absent
I've never thought of you as a man of tradition and duty, exactly.
-Who are you going with? "I was not planning to torture anyone else"
You wouldn't be torturing me, exactly
I'm doing nothing special today.
I mean these are really deadly boring.
For an outsider, they are murderous.
Will there be champagne, perhaps? -I think so.
So that makes you a failure, does it?
All I'm saying is that I don't want to still be in uniform...
...on the streets in 20 years'time. What if everyone thought like you ?
If everyone was so vain? "It's not the uniform per se.
Okay, it is quite ugly. But seriously ...
Come on, if we all thought that, the very idea of the police would collapse
Someone must be able to cope with working in the real world.
Yes, and who should thank them?
Take Svartman, I mean how much does he earn? "That's not the point"
Wallander doesn't earn a fortune either.
He of course does not have a uniform.
-What the hell! -Relax it hardly shows.
Stop being such a goddamn pussy.
There, there
Nice horse.
-Easy now -Oh God, what's that?
There is someone lying in the water.
Thank you
-Hey. -Hey.
This is one swinging do
I think I will need another glass very soon.
Kurt!
-Long time no see. -Hi
Katarina. Sven, dropped out of the police... now in the private security business
-This is my wife Mette. -Katarina.
Yes, I dropped out and damn glad of it.
I still get invited here -
and Mette really felt like a party. Are you sitting anywhere?
"We just arrived so we... -We thought we might...
Over there, perhaps?
You're kidding, it's Maundy Thursday. Martinsson is on duty.
Then someone should let him know. -Wallander he's free
Wallander is on leave and does not answer his phone.
lsabelle and Pontus are on a course.
What should I do? Go there myself ?
You can take it on the way can't you ?
I have a lamb dinner at the inlaws. The family are sitting in the car.
But sure, I'll stop for a corpse on the way to her Mothers.
-You are the best in the world. -Tell that to my wife!
Ha ha! -Stop it, Linda.
Here comes Dad. We'll soon be at Gran's.
-Daddy's here. -Yep Daddy's here!
Just have short stop on the way. A work thing...
- What work thing? - You know, the work thing.
It'll only take a second.
-No, I have never looked back. -Good.
The police are about as appreciated as traffic wardens.
Nobody ever says "thanks good job" and let's not mention the salary.
But there may be other reasons. -Look around in here.
Who would chose to join the police if they could choose again?
-Are you in security too? -No, I have stopped working.
Sven earns a very good salary. All I had left of mine was the tax.
Sven will quit soon also.
We plan to buy a place in the south. move away for good.
Wow, it sounds fantastic. Where did you have in mind?
Don't know, just somewhere warm.
It might be something for you? Kurt?
You're a highly qualified officer you could get any job you want.
I'll ask around.
After a few years, you can take the wife on one long holiday.
Oh, no ... We are not married.
Colleagues. And neighbors.
It is only today I am a "spouse".
-Then you are police, too? -No. I am a prosecutor.
You can't park there!
Hey! You can't just stop there? Hey!
What the hell's going on?
We have two burning vehicles in central Ystad.
3701, we are on the E65 just west of Skurup.
-Do you have the addresses? -Main Square at the corner of Harbor Street.
-Is Wallander here yet? -No.
Where the hell is the fire brigade?
Martinsson. What, another one?
We have three burning vehicles in central Ystad.
Kurt Wallander? There's an Ebba on the phone.
What the hell is it now?
Yes
Yes, you do not need to yell.
Ok I will be right there.
We must go. You too. Sorry.
-There is nothing I can do about it. "Might we see you again? Take Sven's card ..
It has our numbers.
Okay, thanks. Bye.
-What happened? "I will tell you on the way.
Strange, just run off. -No, something happened.
-What the ...! Road works? -What's all this?.Road works?
_I'll have a look -There shouldn't be anything here
-What the hell was that? -A robbery! Turn off!
3701, we are on the E65 just west of Skurup.
We have witnessed a robbery.
-3701. Hello? -Get the camera. We need pictures.
-Stop and wait for reinforcements -3701
Stop and wait for reinforcements. Stop and wait for reinforcements.
Yeah! We get it. Copy
Where the hell are they then?
They are leaving. They're buggering off.
What are you doing? We should wait for backup.
so what the hell do we do? They'll be gone by then.
Do not be such a fucking pussy, what we said. Okay?
But take it easy!
-Slow down. -Calm down. Pull yourself together!
-Watch out! -What the hell is he doing?
-Slow down! -Then they get away.
-What the hell...? -Back! Back up! Back up!
And so the horses began to react ... ?
Yes, they got spooked and began to play up
-Come here poppet. -You must stay in the car.
-But Linda hes to pee -Yes, yes.
Okay ...
-So you got off your horses. -Yes.
You went up and touched the corpse?
-I mean did you try to feel if he was alive? -No.
Were you in front or went around ...
-... or, you held your distance? -Yes.
It is good to be able to tell our forensics ...
...who will be examining the scene later so I can tell them
Axel come here. Not there.
Okay, you saw nothing else? No one other person?
No.
-Can we go now?-Yes, get in the car. I will just be a moment.
-Can I take your names and numbers. -Jonna.
-0739 ... -0739 ...
-... 88 ... -... 88 ...
-... 10 32. -Okay.
Hello.
Now I want you to sit perfectly still.
-What will you do? -I will make a hole.
Then I go in with a camera and look.
Keep still.
Now just move a bit, so.
It looks good.
It is alright. It is alright, my friends.
It was a professional job
The exact amount to blow the doors.
Going by the tracks, they reloaded into a Transit and drove west.
We have set up roadblocks in all directions.
"But they have a hell of a lead -25-30 Minutes.
I had those burning cars on my mind.
Yes? Kurt.
Can you speak up?
-Okay, I'll be there. -What was that?
lsabelle has crashed. Pontus is missing.
Hi. Glad you could make it. Can we go now?
-Family with you? Cozy. -Yes we're off to dinner with mother.
Ok I'll take over you get off now Hope it's nice.
-Where is the body? -On the other side of the hill.Bye.
"Oh not a moment too soon "yeah I know I'm sorry.
But I can't just say I don't care can I ?.
lsabelle! How are you? Where's Pontus?
Check out the car. The car! The camera in the car!
It will be alright. Keep calm. We have to go.
-Nyberg. Nyberg! -Yes.
-The camera. -Yes, that's it.
Damn, they saw the robbery.
They followed.
-Is that the last picture? -Yes. -It is the last picture.
All the bloody fires have been put out.
I want all cars out until we find Pontus.
Yes, it's good. Thank you. Hello.
Bloody idiots!
-Found anything more? -Yes, I always do.
There is no indication Pontus was shot here.
-You have called hi mobile? "Yes, five hundred times. No response.
Wait, call again!
Do it!
Hey! Open up!
What the hell!
Help!
Kurt here.
Yes. How is he?
Is he going to the hospital?
Good. Yes, that's fine. Bye.
Hello.
You fucking pussy.
-Hey. -Hey.
I just wanted to give you these.
But first a question ...
What was it that really happened?
Because I understand you were given clear instructions...
...to wait for backup. Or am I mistaken?
It was my fault.
They were getting away and I thought ...
But you received an express order to stop and wait for backup!
Or did not you not hear it?
-Yes, but we figured it would take half an hour for ...
So you heard but acted exactly the opposite. Is that right?
-Yes, but -Don't but me!
You realize what could have happened?
Bloody kids!
What I actually wanted to say is ...
...I'm very glad that you are both okay.
-Thanks. -Thanks.
Thanks.
Shall we go for a walk? Yes come on, let's go for a walk.
-Do we know how much they got? 15 million say SkandiGuard
And this murder ... Is it somehow connected?
-Not that we can see. -Then, we separate investigations.
The body was in a bad way according to Karin Linder.
He was shot in the head. Svartman was first at the scene.
-Where is Svartman? -He's off.
The hell he is, we have two cases and we are two men short.
Call Svartman.
As you know, Pontus took some pictures with his camera phone.
This is Marko Lehtinen.
Interestigly he is right-hand man to this guy...
...who's called Leonard Belker
He was doing eight years in Kumla, then escaped and is wanted.
But he is probably still active.
July 28, 2002 in Märsta, a heist worth eleven million.
-Svartmans on his way. -Thank you. August 25, 2005 in Hallunda.
15 million. Four days later Akalla, 19 million.
"These are no amateurs. -What is interesting is how he works.
His robberies come in pairs with a few days in between.
First staging something spectacular so the police are busy.
During the chaos he strikes. So we can expect another soon.
I'd say we should be prepared for it, yes.
-Hey. -Aren 't you on leave today?
I thought so,not to mention what my wife thinks.
-What? -Oh, nothing.
"Grumpy old man. -Bye.
Bye, Ebba. We are on the mobile.
-Take care of Jussi. -Mobile ? I've heard that before.
-Hey. -Svartman! Hello.
The body in the water was where exactly?
There. Eggelstad.
Theoretically, the scene of the crime could lie well upstream.
Can you ask Linder to hurry up. What if there is a link to the robbery.
She'll be ready at lunch She found something at the scene.
-A little thing. -The offender was a minor ?
It seemed like an entire kindergarten had run around there, "she said.
She told me to hand this to Svartman.
I don't understand why.
And you can tell Linder that I was off duty, actually.
-What could I do, lock the kids in? -Come on. Look here.
This is a major setback.
Last year, we laid down enormous resources on security.
-What did you do? -A major analysis of our procedures.
Here is a long list. You can follow me.
If there is anything else you can come back to me.
They're from Ystad police. They want to ask some questions.
Of course.-Wallander Mike Sterner.-Martinsson
- I understand you set the schedule for shipments. -Yes, just to the south of Sweden.
-Yes, just for southern Sweden. Is Ystad counted as south Sweden?
-Look, if I am to be honest ... "And we assume you are.
-This should not be possible -And yet it does.
It does not matter how secure a system is, there will be loopholes.
-Can you explain how you work? -Yes.
We run three vans, two of which are empty.
Then the schedule is encrypted individually to each driver.
They do not know themselves if they are running with empty boxes.
You are responsible for the encryption of Southern Sweden?
I'll tell you about one of our competitors.
A few years ago they were victims of several raids.
They improved their methods, but the robbers always knew the right van.
In the end they found a cleaner was the leak.
He knew the code? -He was an Indian.
He studied at the institute of technology and was expert in cryptography.
How can you protect against that?
You increased resources for security last year I understand.
Yes I have a new code lock and we have video surveillance.
Can we see the recordings from the last month?
It might be difficult. I don't think they are kept for a month.
Sorry.
If I'm not mistaken this should be the entire last month.
-Fine, thanks. -Thank you.
The bullet penetrated the frontal bone and penetrated the left hemisphere.
Then went out through the back of the head
-How long has he been dead? -One week, plus or minus two days.
There is no water in the lungs, so he was probably dead before immersion.
Could he have been murdered somewhere else and floated to Eggelstad?
It is possible. Identification will not be easy.
Given he was in the water a week and his prints were not on record.
Hi dental impressions are being analised but it takes time.
I understand.
An athletic man, around 55 years. That is what I can say.
Anything more?
This was in his pocket.
Hello.
-How's it going? Found anything? -Nothing.
It' just him all the time. Not a visit in two weeks.
-What is he doing? -Working.
Can you play it at normal speed?
Damn, that's internet poker.
Damn, I thought he was working.
-How long has he been doing it? -All the time.
Is he a compulsive gambler?
Gambling debts? Then he has a damn good reason.
We can't arrest him for it.
He is the only one who knows the driving schedule before encryption.
Does he have gambling debts -
-is it possible he is open to bribery.
I think we should wait until we find something more.
Look what I got today.
It's not just Sven and Mette with foreign plans.
A colleague and his wife are moving to the south of France.
"Provence, two kilometers from the sea. "
A fantastic house.
-How the hell did they afford that? -Private sector.
He switched to corporate law.
-Maybe you should change jobs? -No.
He defended a construction company who used a concrete-
-which had given every tenant tracheal problems, especially the children.
-A clear conscience is the best pillow. "Yes, let them toss and turn
All they have is a fantastic house.
400 square meters with stunning views.
You could take up Sven's proposal?
Then buy a house and invite me down.
-See you. -Yes.
Svartman! A woman called five times -
-about a car that is on her land.
-Could you take it? -No, I'm going to lunch.
You could take it on the way?
-Thanks, you are ... - ... "The best". I know.
Damn.
-Hey. Johan Svartman, Ystad police. -Christina Tham.
It's my land you're spilling on. Here it is.
-Fine! -Horrible. Take it away now?
-Now? "I was clear on the phone.
I demand this scrap heap be moved from my property today.
"I don't know if this is possible. "This is exactly what will happen ..
I will talk to my lawyer? Your name is Svartbrandt?
No, Svartman.
Sven ...
Kurt.
Hey, Svartman.
Tell her to call the council.
Explain politely she does not need her lawyer ...
An Amazon?
-Hey. -Have you checked license number?
No, I've not had time.
Is it your car, drive it away.
The car does not move until I say so.
You can go. We will contact you.
He opened it with these keys.
Contact Nyberg and vehicle registration.
The car is registered to Harald Claesson, Guresgränd 1A.
Good, then we will go there.
Kurt! Come.
He chose a route on the map.
That cross, that was where we found the Amazon.
He has been out orienteering, so has anything happened here.
He is shot, he's dumped in the water he floats -
-down here to Eggelstad where we found the body.
The question is what happened along the route.
I could go out that way and check it out.
I'm glad you suggested it yourself.
That takes a day.
A day in the forest is what I need.
I am talking about work now. Not a fucking picnic.
No, of course.
"It's good. I understand. -Yes
-Hey. Oh, hey you. -Hey.
-Molly! "She senses my dog.
Is Sven-home? -Yes. He is in the sauna.
-You have done very nicely. -I can't complain.
Not really.
It was not for money, I left -
-but it does not hurt when it rolls in.
It was time. What do they say?
"Only the rich can buy their own time. "
And it satisfies you? -Yes, now.
I work less and less.
As a policeman,I worked continually evenings, weekends ...
I know.
The marriage went down the drain.
It was my fault.
So we sat there with no life except the job.
I don't want to have to compromise with Mette.
I got a second chance.
She deserves everything I can give her.
What about you? Have you not thought to marry again?
It has crossed my mind.
Did you do a safety analysis on SkandiGuard?
That's right. About a year ago.
You checked them out after a robbery
Yes, it was their transportation.
I went through their internal practices.
To see if there was leak ...
Did you hear anything about Mikael Sterner?
Yes, he did a little for himself -
-but he seemed serious
-You do not suppose ...? -No.
"We believe nothing yet. -Here is Mette.
-Hey. -Come here. Come.
Come to me.
Come and see me.
She can tell that I have dog.
-Did you have a good hand? -Excuse me?
It must be difficult to fold when you have a good hand.
"I do not understand. - No?
Alarm bells start ringing to me "Poker" and "addiction"?
I am not an addict.
Do you have gambling debts?
No, I do not.
On the contrary.
Poker gives me a steady side income.
In a year I will become a professional player.
You can see my bank accounts. I have no secrets.
There were no gambling debts?
He earns more in poker than the three of us together.
Perhaps it is so he can move south.
-What you talking about? -No, nothing.
Okay, back to square one.
-Hey, Nyberg. -Hey.
-How is it going? -Fine.
The lab has sent the report on the explosive from the shipment.
There was nothing surprising.
It was a primer, remote ...
Yes, on a signal.
Is it the type which has been used in the other devices?
Yes, but it does not mean anything.
The military uses the stuff. It is easy to obtain.
One thing that was weird ...
The amount in just one place was scary.
-Okay. Thanks. So long. -Thank you.
You ... What would you do
-If you had unlimited money during the holidays?
Purely hypothetical?
I would do what I do.
Two weeks in Iceland, excavation and fishing.
It is too expensive but I enjoy it.
If somebody called and said you had received an inheritance
-from an unknown aunt in America, what would you do?
I would probably go home and devote myself to what I like.
What are you working out?
I met a colleague from the past. He has a lot of money.
He would take early retirement and do not give a shit.
It sounds like crap.
-Had he inherited? -No, he has worked for it.
-Yes, so he is probably not police. -No, you're right.
I'll call when I get a moment. It is good.
Now, am I mistaken ... Were you not ordered to rest?
"It was an order? -You were ordered to go home and rest.
I know, but we needed to look up one thing about cars.
-There must have been witnesses. "We heard them, we could get in.
We thought somebody may have taken film and put it on the web.
Right. Check it out, then.
Then you go home and rest.
-Is not it beautiful? -What are they doing here?
Injured and sick, they still drag themselves to work.
-If they are sick what can they do? -What the hell else are they to do?
"I could check it out. -Forget it.
Wait, wait! Look there.
Everyone watching the fire but he leaves the other way.
That's a Vespa Elite, an old one.
A good eye you have. -My dad had one of those.
Check it out.
Elite with 'e' at the end. "I know".
Scanian scooter club.
-Maybe he is a member. -There is the membership.
What were you doing between 1 and 3 on Thursday?
Me and my girl were at lunch with her sister.
-You were not out with Vespa? "I had not gone out by then".
Do you have name and phone number for the sister?
-Did he have an alibi? -Easter Dinner.
-How many are there left? -Eight, if we stick to Ystad.
-Shall we take the entire southern Skane ... -Yes, if necessary.
-Shall we? -Yes.
Don't be such a fucking pussy!
Hello?
Hello. Pontus Hoijer, Ystad police.
Is that your Vespa outside?
-Yeah why? -A incident in town...
Yes, I read something in the newspaper.
-What did you do last Thursday? - I wasn't out setting fire to a car.
Me and the wife were at my parents for dinner.
Can I have their names and numbers?
Helge and Birgitta Karlsson. 0414-12 12 32.
This is your helmet? ...
Freeze! Freeze!
Lie still! Lie still!
A witness saw you get out of a blue Ford Fiesta before the fire.
-Do not want to cooperate? -You can interpret it how you want.
I just drove a car into the square.
And after that? "I got out of the car and walked away.
Once you had set fire to it?
I had no idea that they would blow up the car.
I was in shock myself on the road.
Who are "they"?
He knows nothing. He received 12,000 to drive a car to the square.
They work in cells isolated from each other.
We must have something more to go . Anything!
-Martinsson? -Yes.
This thing with lntrSafe and SkandiGuard.
What do you think lntrSafe would charge for the work with SkandiGuard?
Security analysis, reporting, ...
... surveillance, video cameras, lock code, and the whole works.
Well, 150 000 ...
200 000 at least.
Okay.
Damn!
-Hey. -Hey.
-Is Sven at home? -No, sorry.
"He does not answer the phone -Yeah.
-Was it important? -Yes.
"I'll ask him to call. -Yes, it is important.
-How are you? "I feel strange, a headache.
-I'll call him later. -Should I get a tablet?
Yes would you do that?
Hello, it is Svartman.
Svartman. I was shot at.
-Svartman has found their hiding place. -Ah, hell!
Good. Hello. They have their headquarters here.
They shot at me.
-How does it work? -I have a simcard here.
There is an encrypted message. D-J-4-3-A,-B.
That's something for Nyberg.
Yes? It's only half the money.
It was not what we agreed.
I'm not giving any information until I have all the money.
What? I've looked in the envelope.
But what the hell ...
What the hell?
A new voicemail.
Hey, it's Kurt Wallander. Can you come to the station?
I would like to ask some questions as soon as possible. thanks bye.
Imagine that each letter has a number in the alphabet.
A is 1, b is 2 and so on.
We can apply plus one then A becomes B, B becomes C.
Then comes the hard part -
I have transferred it all to this machine.
It may chew it over for a few hours.
-Snack? -Absolutely.
I'll just take this call, then I will.
Yes, it's Kurt.
Are you off now?
Good. ok.
I would just like to ...
-How are you? -Yes
...I'm fine.
I want to ask some questions regarding SkandiGuard.
I love Mette.
She sought protection from all the shit she has been through.
After two years I could have given it to her.
Now I have thrown her into insecurity again.
It's so damned stupid.
She is not involved. It's just me.
I ...
... I'm going to take my punishment.
Okay.
-So it is you who is the leak? -Yes.
They contacted me when I had just met Mette.
Just as if they had figured it out. At first, I said flatly no.
Then the firm was not doing as well as I had hoped
I could see how it was going to end.
Yes, that is how it was.
It's good.
What do you know about the next robbery?
6718 is in place.
Units are on-site.
Get ready for action.
Now let's hope that you are right.
Well, damn. It will work out.
Nyberg. Two then a passenger bus.
-Should I stop them? -No, let them go.
The shipment is in the pipeline.
-Is it alone? -No, a bus is following.
-The robbery is running. Run! "We will.
All ready. All units on site.
-What are you doing? -Go away!
What about Belker? Where's Belker?
-Where the hell is he? -Kurt! The shipment is empty.
How are you?
Satan.
Molly! Come on now, so there.
So, stay there.
-What the hell is he doing? -Get out of the car. Quickly!
Out of the car. Throw the radio in the van.
Quickly. Mobiles.
Now get going! Run! Run!
Here we are at the sharp end.
-Can you see where they are? -Yes, the GPS is on.
"Their new signal. There. -Coast road.
Port.
"We've got to go. -What are you wearing?
Come, I'll take your bags.
What are you doing? Sven? What are you doing?
We can talk later.
Mette. Mette. Mette.
-Hold it! Sven, put the gun down.
Get out of here!
"She will die. I'll shoot. -No! Nobody shoots.
-Can't you just leave us alone? -You can not get out of here
"They have to take care of Mette. "I will take care of Mette!
I will take care of Mette.
Martinsson.
Okay. Thank you.
They found the cash van, blown open and emptied.
He almost made me feel it was I who had chosen the wrong path.
Come on.
-Have you heard anything about Belker? -Not a trace.
He took enough to get him to Germany or Poland.
lnterpol is plugged in, so we'll see.
They are good together. How long will you keep her?
Until Monday. That's if Mette is recovered.
-Do you think she knew anything? "I don't know.
She knew enough that something was not right --
-but she did not grasp it fully of course, then money poured in.
-I can guess that it is over -Yes, the dream fell to pieces.
To go abroad and stop working ...
Inconceivable that he took risks like that.
He must have known he would be discovered.
He was in love, Kurt. Stronger than the love of his job.
