Look!
What is that?
He was in special forces specializing in contact combat. He's perfect.
- What are your instructions? - Put together a team and clear this up.
I'm fucking drunk, and you are damn ugly. but tomorrow I'll be sober! Fucking idiot!
I need a forensic pathologist And I started looking at the top.
And ended up at the bottom. What a fucking trip!
What? Has he asked you about it?
- Who else do you need? - Aaaah!
- What do you mean "no"? - Just that. No.
- A mass grave here in Sweden? - Near Monkhärad.
And where is that?
Here.
- Archaeologists dug up all this? - They called when they found the lower jaw.
- Who dug up the rest? - The local police started.
They stopped and notified the alarm center when they began to comprehend ...
- When was that? - Thursday.
The technicians went through the area, but ...
It's been like this since then.
- What the hell is that? - It's coming up from here, I think.
They've just been thrown down, helter-skelter.
We won't be getting a lot of help from her.
There are variations: strangle, drown, suffocate, freeze ...
But this is something new.
Shooting a child straight in the head ...
I don't think I've seen this before. Have you?
Hello?
Do you know where it's coming from? Over.
No. It comes from different directions, and only at night. Over.
Thanks. Over and out
What were you thinking to use me for here?
- Your time is coming. - And until then?
I need a smart "sounding board".
- For a thousand an hour? - You charge that much?
Yes. At my office. Who should I bill?
I'll speak with Selbring about that. But I'm glad that you are here.
Yes, it would've been nice if you had told me who was on the team.
Why is that? Who is ...?
Wait a minute.
- How is it going, Fanny? - Good.
Really? Why are you out here?
Because there's nothing for me to do in the tent.
- It might be a little uncomfortable ... - Shall we go back in?
It smells like coffee. Can I have a cup?
Now we have seen what this is about.
Now everyone knows about as much. Or just as little as I do.
It's a fairly complicated and grisly mission.
It will probably take some time, so I was going to suggest ...
... that we stay on the boat while the investigation is ongoing.
- Stay here? - Yes. It's just a suggestion.
- Just as long as we need to work out here. - Why?
This is a deserted place, almost inaccessible.
We would be much more effective if we are here on the spot.
Nina and Theo can work here.
Not like a forensic lab yet, but make a list of the equipment you'll need.
- It's a proposal. You decide. - Is it?
- It's okay with me. - Me also.
- Claes? - It sounds exciting.
I lived in a collective in 1973 with four Maoists and a wandering postman ...
... and two dancing mice. Should we make a cleaning rotation list?
The cabins are quite comfortable. I'll take care of food, supplies, purchases.
- Questions? - Yes. Are you associated with the police?
Yes. I was convicted of bank robbery in 1987.
They know that. We don't need to be discreet.
- Also, she is part owner of the boat. - With the preceeds of a bank robbery?
You have internet access to databases, encrypted communications, protected from intrusion.
- Any thoughts? - The murderers have a big head start.
No urgency from the media? The victims have been here for a while.
So long as we keep a lid on this, we can work undisturbed ...
... Once this leaks to the media the situation changes radically.
We have a head start; we must exploit.
- How many people live out here - Very few.
- It's mostly forest. - Where is the nearest house?
- The grave is located here, and we are here.
There is a highway and on the other side of it is a larger farmhouse.
- Inhabited? - Yes.
A farm, also inhabited, some summer cottages ...
... and an old factory here. - I can visit the farm in the morning.
Yes, Talk to the public. First we need to excavate the grave.
Then we'll see what Nina and Theo find out.
If you need anything for tomorrow, you can talk to Dinkan.
- I have a list of what I need for the forensics. - Are you showing them to the cabins, Dinkan?
- Anything special for breakfast? - A dry martini?
- Can you get vegetables too? - Transportation?
- There is a car for you by the road. - Good.
Just how dependent are you?
- I drink when I get anxious. - How often is that?
- Often enough to get me suspended. - And now?
You give me something to focus on, and I can handle myself.
Without drinking?
- Is that a condition? - Do you have alcohol with you now?
I have this. Do you want to confiscate it?
- I'm not asking for my sake. - Hypocrite!
Are you afraid I will disgrace myself and ruin everything?
But don't worry, because in that case I would leave.
- Shall I inform the others? - It's your choice, but I prefer that you don't.
There are so many prejudices against people with alcohol problems.
What do you think about the skeleton?
There are four. The bodies were burned and covered with quicklime.
That explains why the bones are so clean. When it comes to child's skull ...
... The angle between the entry hole and exit hole are a little particular.
Cege, what is Claes doing here? He can't speak to the skeletons?
Or maybe he can. He is a therapist.
But aren't we a little too old to adopt?
But couldn't we just get a trampoline instead?
We'll do it later then. I think I'll probably be here a little longer than I thought.
Yes. No, it's... I don't know.
Yes.
Yes. No, it's not like last time, I promise.
Kiss and hug. Goodbye.
- Excuse me, you do you have some toothpaste? - Yes.
- No toothbrush? - No, I forgot.
Unpleasant - that there in the tent.
- They were just thrown into it like that - Yes ...
You'll have no problem establishing motivation.
- Right? - No.
- Have you worked with Ljung before? - You call him Ljung?
- That's his name. - I'm just so used to ...
Yes, we've worked together a few times before. You too, right?
Mm.
What do you think about living like this?
- Yes. It's ok. - Or ...?
Yes, it should be interesting.
- Are you familiar with Nina Molander? - I am.
- Good night, then. - Good night.
Just an empty room.
Hotel Rendezvous? I also stayed there for a couple of nights. A hole.
- I live there year round. - Isn't that expensive?
Not with a widow's pension and fire insurance.
Hello? Are you sleeping out here?
- I was thinking about it. - I autopsied a guy once.
He was sleeping in a hammock and got his eye hacked out by a seagull.
- Did he die from that? - No, but he woke up when the seagull bit.
He fell out of the hammock and fractured his skull when his head struck a rock.
Isn't this a little peculiar?
Shooting a small child right through the head ...
- Is there any difference? - In what?
In shooting a child?
Yes, for me there is.
- You're not a murderer. - What do you mean?
There might not be any difference to the killer.
Where the hell is my cabin?
Do you know ...?
- Claes, you're staying here. - How will we be awakened?
- I will wake you at 0700. - Have you talked to Marit?
- Since we left. - No. Why?
She had apparently asked you not to drag me into this.
- Did she? - Yes.
- It's nothing. It will be all right. - Will it?
Yes. A little wine and a hot tub, then we'll be back on the track again. - Sleep well.
Hey, You have reached the Ljungs. We can't answer right now.
Leave a message, and we will call you back.
Hey, it's me.
I'm on the boat. Can you call me when you hear this?
Well... Bye. Hugs.
You! There's no door to close while I'm showering.
- No. - Is this the only shower here?
- Yes. - I would like a door ...
Pull the shower curtain.
Could you keep watch while I shower?
Sure.
Thank you.
- Didn't Theo sleep here last night? - Yes.
Where's the hammock, then? Where's the hammock?
No idea. It was gone when I came out.
The child was shot with a large caliber revolver.
It is as if the bullet went through something hard before it entered the skull.
- Have you been working all night? - Yes. Didn't you?
- Has Theo been here? - No, he was laying in the hammock.
- Send him down here. - Can't Claes help you?
I need a technician, not an old washed up profiler.
But she was suspended then?
Yes ...
Fine. Thank you. Bye.
- Have you seen Theo? - No. Is he gone?
Do you know that the records of missing persons are totally worthless?
Thousands disappear each year, but there are no comprehensive statistics.
Did they disappear at the same time? Did they know each other?
We have to do something. We can't just stand here and looking down into the grave.
No.
This isn't a photo exhibition, my little friend.
Oops... Sorry! I'm with the police.
- Do you live here? - Mm.
- Is that your farm? - Why?
- We have blocked off Kolsjön. - We saw that. What happened?
Unfortunately, I can't say. Have you seen anything?
People who have been here, that you don't ...
- Over what period of time, did you say? - We don't really know.
Can you recall any odd situations connected with the area?
Have you seen any strangers there?
Oh yes. No, I don't usually go up there, so I ...
- What you grow? - Cucumbers, melons, grapes.
Tomatoes. Mostly. I get EU grants.
For farms that are organic. Nordic Swan Label. They are part of EPN
- Environmental Protection Network. - What is that?
A group fighting for naturally-grown food ...
... And to stop the global environmental degradation. - You haven't heard of it?
No.
You're more concerned with table fans. You want this?
Yes, please.
You can get a ... We have an information booklet on EPN.
I have it here. Come!
- I know it's here somewhere. - Do you live here alone?
No. We are three friends who run the farm together.
- Where are they, then? - In town, selling vegetables.
We skip the middlemen and keep the prices low.
Good vegetables are a fucking human right.
It should be in the UN Charter.
- Maybe. - How long will you be here?
As long as necessary
If you have time to spare someday, you are welcome here.
Then I will offer you a non-toxic dinner you will never forget.
- Maybe. - Yes, I promise.
My number. If you see anything.
- Or the others ... - Ok. Thanks.
Yes?
Bye. Don't forget about that dinner.
Bye.
It is up to you whether you want be included, but this won't work.
But you can't slip away behind people's backs.
There are limits to how antisocial you can be, Theo.
Why would I want to replace you with another who doesn't have your competence?
You are on your way out into the cold. Are you aware of that?
I took you because I know what you can do.
Think about it, Theo.
- Why use your boat? - For practical reasons, finding the site location, ...
... it's very nature. The group should be isolated, it maximizes efficiency.
You will need a Proctorstamp. And XRF Spectrometer?
- It's for soil samples. - What is a TX Scanner?
An image scanner which connects to on the web. A problem?
- It's expensive. - Divided by four corpses equals cheap.
- Miscellaneous maintenance: 40,000? - What is that?
- Repair of propeller system. - For your private boat?
I heard that Claes Grimme joined. Congratulations.
Thank you. Nina Molander, too.
What the fuck! Are you crazy?
- When was that? - This morning.
Sapo claims that this is from the CIA.
- When did we start doing their errands? - After Sepetember 11.
What do they want us to do for them? Do they have something in return.
I'm the boss! I said no, and I meant no!
- The country's best forensic pathologist will get results? - Not her.
This official crap shouldn't stop us from apprehending a mass murderer.
- No. - I know it will work.
- If not, I'll change it. - On two conditions:
Not one word about Molander gets to Kvarnström and Kock, or there will be trouble!
- And? - and scratch the propeller system.
- Ok. - How is Theo Koders?
- Good. Why? - He made a fool of himself last time.
Refused to discuss his analysis with "amateurs from the police station".
He was reassigned. Didn't you know?
- No. - But maybe you can handle him better.
The smaller skull circumference: 32.1 cm.
Dinkan!
What are you doing?
Hi! I'm taking samples.
- I'm taking water and sediment samples. - Is the water bad here?
Water quality is pretty good. Slightly low pH.
However, the sediment contains several polycyclic aromatic compounds.
From cars and roads. Lying like a big lump of poison at the bottom.
People dig their own graves - from below.
Exactly.
- Is that your boat? - Yes. Partially.
- We've had it under surveillance. - Is that so? Why?
Similar boats have dumped everything possible in these lakes.
- Not us. - Really?
Nice location. Are you staying long?
- I don't know. - Interference is your work, right?
Not at all. I trust that you won't throw any shit into the water?
I promise.
We thought we were having a meeting.
Molander has been suspended.
- Yes. - How did she end up here?
- I asked her to come. - Why?
I found parts of a child. Three adults and two children were in the grave.
All were killed at the same time. The children's were about six and ten years old.
The younger is a boy; the older a girl.
The adults are between 30 and 45 Two men and a woman.
All of them were burned and then covered with quicklime.
Cause of death is unknown. Three have bullets wounds ...
... which was fatal in one case. The oldest child was shot in the head.
Presumably, they were shot first and then burned. Not necessarily at the same time.
- But they all were burned simultaneously. - So they may have been killed before?
They were burned just before they ended up in the grave. They were probably killed at the same time.
Unless someone had frozen the five corpses and thawed them ...
- What do you think? - There may be one culprit.
He may have killed them at different locations, brought them here, burned and buried them.
We don't know the connection between the victims.
- So it may be a serial killer. - Or a mass murderer.
Is the profile ready? White man, 25-30 years old; driver's license, unloving mother?
- Could they have been burned near the grave? - Yes.
Then we have to look for the burn site.
On the farm where I was today, they had an unusually large burn barrel.
But they probably have a lot of trash on a farm.
Probably. How was it, everywhere else?
Environmentally friendly. The farmer is an advocate of organic farming.
But there was something ... Just a feeling I had.
- A strange feeling. - Scary ...
- I checked Fisher. He's clean. - There are two others there. They were in town.
We should talk to them. We know so little; about how old the grave is.
The grave is probably between 12 and 18 months old.
How do you know?
By comparing the flora in the grave with the environment. The decay process of leaves.
And identifying bacteria using a culture and animal presence.
Everything that the guy with the headphones would have done.
He has quit. Analysis goods?
- Tomorrow. - Good. We have an approximate dating.
- They must be identified quickly. - I asked SKL to test the mitochondrial DNA. (SKL - National Laboratory of Forensic Science)
To determine parentage. It takes a long time.
But the information is useful if we are to move forward.
- What else? - How complete are the skeletons?
They are missing pieces. And the quicklime occurred after they were tossed into the grave ...
Tossed? They aren't slaughterhouse waste; these are people we're talking about.
- Are we a little sensitive? - No.
Slightly unaccustomed? How about a different career?
No. But I found my father in a mass grave.
You are fucking incredible.
But how would I be able to know that?
Come with me.
Unprofessional, Nina.
What is the problem?
They found it when Ceausescu fell.
It lay near Timisoara.
Open fire!
He was executed together with my uncle and some other opposition figures.
I saw a documentary on TV. several years later that ...
About ... Yes ...
They had found the grave.
It looked exactly like ...
Just thrown down like that, helter-skelter.
- I must apologize. - Good. Thank you.
- Selbring knows you're here. - And?
It cost me a propeller system. 40,000.
- Not bad for an old drunk with cellulite. - But the others don't know.
- Kock and half-fascist Kvarnsten? - Kvarnström.
- No. And he's a police superintendent. - Is there a difference?
You have just shown how talented you are. Calm down a little.
- I didn't take the course on submission. - Then take it and show some respect. - Aye, aye, Captain.
... Ljung. Over.
Fanny, throw on something and come along. There's someone out there in the meadow.
Stay here, I'll take care of it
Take off the fucking headphones! You could have warned the guys.
- We have the right of public access. - What are you doing here?
- Searching. - For what?
There could be more buried here. Have you checked if there are more graves here?
- No. - Maybe it's time to do it.
In the dark?
Have you changed your mind?
- Yeah, something like that. - You just needed to check the animals at home.
And then you forgot to leave a note on the boat?
Yes, something like that.
Come on!
Stop! Lower the weapon.
Put the gun down!
Step back! Down on your knees!
Cege! Stand still!
- Is this your gun? - My father's.
Put your hands up, motherfucker!
Frisk him!
- What are you doing out here? - I'm hunting.
- What is this? - "Grass".
You're shooting in the woods when you are stoned! What's your name?
- Cliff. - What else?
- Cliff Jansson. - Do you have ID on you, Cliff Jansson?
Hello. We are from the police.
Is this your son?
What have you done now? What have you done? Up in the loft with you!
- Is this yours? - Yes.
Go to bed.
My brother is a floor installer.
He has breathed in many hazardous fumes.
- But he is strong as hell. - Jerker!
Come out and lift a chair for them.
- Yeah ... - Do you have a gun license?
- You can bet your ass on it.
Good, Jerker. Just hold it there.
- What has the boy done now? - He was in the forest ...
I get no help from him. He's in the woods around the clock.
We have 40 mink cages, you know. The mink escaped last night.
Ines, my sister. She needs to collect the eggs.
Good for the kid growing up in the country.
- Maybe the family is related to those in the grave? - It wouldn't surprise me.
- We must talk to them one at a time. - You didn't mention the grass?
No, not now. I thought it wasn't necessary.
He has probably had enough for today.
Do you think they'll come back?
I don't know. Get a shovel.
- So he's back. - Is he coming down here?
Being social is not Theo's strength, but he does what he can.
And he does it better than the others. But the rest he has difficulty with.
- He prefers his animals. - Social Phobia, perhaps?
A deep, unreasonable fear of being with people.
Can you use more fancy words?
Welcome back.
Correct me if I am wrong, but weren't you a homicide investigator before?
- Yes. - But you quit?
- I was reassigned. - Why?
I want to speak with you.
It's good that you're back. It gives us a better symmetry.
- I don't have to stay this way. - You had been living in a collective.
It's hard to live so closely with strangers.
- How do you feel about that? - why?
Do you find it difficult working with people in this way?
You ... Excuse me. I'm pretty tired.
If you want to talk about it, or...
Come in!
"Hands which have just abused a child, clean, and continue to do the dishes, dry and set away"
"You see those familiar, obvious hands," ...
... "so careful that nothing is dropped and broken."
- You ... - Bruno K. Öijer.
I wondering whether they burned the bodies ...
... near the grave. Maybe someone smelled or saw the smoke.
Cliff's father said the boy practically lived in the forest. Can you bring him here?
- Now? - Yes. We are hunting a mass murderer.
It won't be quicker to ask him now, whether he smelled something a year ago
- Is that enough? - No, dig a little more, dammit.
That's good.
Shh!
