OK; so not a goat. Hi.
Come on.
Can I call back a little later?
I just wanted to see if there was a free table...

Hey, Katarina, sorry. Listen, I've been...
Are you going to take Jussi?
Can you please calm down, Ebba? Just calm down.
I've been at a conference all day in Malmo...
...and would like to go out for a bite to eat. Fancy tagging along?
- What, this evening? - Yes.
I know of a place that's just opened up that's said to be really good...
Sorry, I don't have... I can't. No. No.
- Another time, perhaps? - Sure! Another time.
Ebba?
No, shit... He doesn't want to go home. He wants to stay here with you.
What? Is daddy jealous? What's daddy saying? Is he jealous?
- Hello
OK. Good. Great.
So listen, where shall we...? We can go to my room, if you like.
- Sure. - Shall we?
And then we can go and get something to eat.
Yes.
Well, what we can do about this?
God...
- I've missed you so much. - Me too.
I want us to tell people.
I'm going to talk to Asa.
- It's the way it's got to be, isn't it? - Yes.
It's the way it's got to be.
Just you and me. Just love.
- No more bloody greed. - What?
No, nothing.
- Go how. - I don't want to.
I don't want to. Just one more kiss. One more kiss.
- I love you. - I love you too
HENNING MANKELL'S WALLANDER SERIES THE PRIEST
Henrik Nordstrom, 40, priest of the Ljunit parish.
What was he doing in a youth hostel way out here?
Who the hell knows?
No weapon, no witnesses, nothing.
Maybe he'd got a date with a choirboy...
...enticed him here for a bit of rumpy-pumpy...
...what the hell do I know?
I don't know. You'll have to ask him yourself when he comes to.
Is he in the hospital?
- Yes. If he was shot from the front... - Yes? Was he?
Yes, I think so.
In that case, maybe he saw who it was who shot him.
- Who reported it? - The reception.
She normally has the bookings here somewhere...
She? Who's she?
Maggan. My wife.
She's the one who deals with everything...
...I just help out while she's away.
It's low season now...
...so we don't have that many guests.
But do you know when he checked in?
He collected the key to number five at around 8:00.
-8:00? - No, I mean 5:00.
He collected the key to number eight at around 5:00.
And he was alone at the time?
I don't know.
Or, rather, yes, I do believe he was. When he collected the key.
So he was then. But later?
When?
When does your wife return?
Don't make a mess now, will you?
Peter, here.
What?
When?
OK. Thanks for calling.
What is it?
Henrik Nordstrom.
Yes? What about him?
He's apparently...
He's apparently been found shot.
What?
What do you mean, shot?
What?
That's all I know.
- But how? - That's all I know!
But shot?
Asa Nordstrom?
Your husband's condition is still critical...
...but he's been operated on and he's stabilized.
But he hasn't woken up yet?
That doesn't have to mean anything. There's hope, you'll see.
We can't say when or even if he'll come round...
We don't know how much his brain has been affected by the loss of blood.
When will you know more?
In a day or two at a guess.
You managed to remove the bullets?
Kurt Wallander, police.
I thought at first that they'd got the wrong person.
We'll position a guard outside his room...
...just to be on the safe side.
It's hard to take in...
...that someone wants to hurt the one you love.
Jesus will help him. I know he will.
Do you know what business your husband had out there...
-...at the youth hostel? - No.
We'll do all we can to find out what happened.
You have my word.
OK. Who is Henrik Nordstrom?
Priest for the past ten years...
...the last three of which have been in Ljunit parish.
During these years he's also been involved...
...ina company called Prominent Care.
- Jesus. - Yes.
Quite. Not exactly a Christian outfit.
What? What do they do?
They... It's a local company.
They buy up used hospital equipment and sell it on to developing countries...
...though at a price.
Hallelujah.
Henrik Nordstrom is the company's public face...
...probably to give the business a certain, well, legitimacy.
Is he a shareholder?
The company is owned by its CEO, Peter Unell.
I suggest that you and I start there, Martinsson.
And Pontus and Isabelle, drive over to the parish...
...and find out what you can.
And you and Svartman take care of the hospital.
And let's see if he wakes up and tells us who it is we're looking for.
- Questions? - No.
No? Good.
Well, we all have enemies in one sense or other.
But if you have anyone in particular, then no.
Not that I know of.
But as I said, I just know him at work. Not privately.
Isn't that so, Lotta?
You wouldn't say that we knew Henrik Nordstrom that well, right?
No.
Which does not make what's happened any less tragic, of course.
What was Henrik Nordstrom's role in the business?
He's on the board.
And he has some public engagements, I guess you could say.
It looks better, I'd imagine, with a priest as a front man.
We're not ashamed of what we do, if that's what you're trying to insinuate.
We live in a society of abundance.
Fully operational hospital equipment is scrapped...
...just because it's considered outdated.
We make sure that it comes to good use and saves lives.
What's wrong with that?
What was last year's profit?
I don't know offhand.
But I do know at least five African hospitals...
...where they no longer have to operate on the floor...
...with 30-year old instruments, under a bloody office desk lamp.
Hi.
The police are here. About Henrik Nordstrom.
This is Dag. He's our legal adviser and accountant.
How is he?
He'll pull through, won't he?
His condition is stable, but critical. He's still unconscious.
- Do you know what happened? - That's what we're going to find out.
Henrik Nordstrom, how did he get involved in the company?
We first met in South Africa. He was working at a mission there.
When did you last speak to him?
A week ago.
And he seemed the same as normal, as far as I could see.
I've not seen him since the board meeting.
Two weeks back, just over.
Lotta? When did you last meet Henrik Nordstrom?
It must have been at the board meeting.
That was, what, two weeks ago.
Have a chat with the fraud squad...
...and see what you can dig up about the company.
And their bogus haloes. “Save lives.” Jesus.
But they do do that. Save lives.
Sure. Laughing all the way to the bank.
But saving lives as they go.
Are you pulling my leg?
How will you finish alaw dissertation?
You're working.
It's not like we're working our asses off exactly...
...with these shitty little jobs we're given.
- What? Like this one? - Yeah, for example.
- So what's it about, your dissertation? - Criminal law.
“Police investigations: rules and applications.”
- Right. I get it. - No, I don't think you do.
I get why you've put off finishing it...
- After you. - You first.
I can't be of much help, I'm afraid.
If you don't have any questions concerning parish work that is...
We really just want to know...
...if you've noticed anything recently that might have something to do...
...with what's happened to Henrik Nordstrom.
No. I don't know what that would be.
We don't know each other.
Outside work, I mean.
If you think of something...
...anything, call this number.
- Of course. I promise. - Good. Thanks.
How is he?
Have you had any news from the hospital?
No. I'm afraid not.
Thanks.
Why was she so tense?
- Luther. - Seriously.
I am being serious. It's the Swedish church.
Everyone working there is as stiff as a corpse.
- Maybe she was in love with him. - With the priest?
No, Luther. Of course the priest.
Unrequited.
And when she couldn't have him, she shot him, right?
- For example. - Right.
Or what do you say to this...
...we've just finished yet another shitty little job that gave us exactly zilch.
Come in.
Id like to ask you a few questions.
I can't tell you that much about Henrik's involvement...
...in this company. I haven't been told that much.
Why not?
That's how he wanted it.
I've tried to get him to pull out.
For ethical reasons or other reasons?
Do you think that what happened to Henrik...
...has something to do with Prominent Care?
If you think so...
Hi, Kurt. Nyberg here.
From South Africa?
Yes, yes and then...
Come in. Stone throwing or...
Oh, sorry. I didn't realize you were in a meeting.
No problem, come in. I-
Busy, I don't know... what I'd call it...
She's supervising me.
- I'm supervising, Pontus, that's it. - I'see. On...?
His law dissertation.
I have to finish it.
Outside work hours, of course, so that you don't think I'm...
No, I don't think anything.
I just wanted to discuss something with you...
...but maybe we can do it tomorrow?
If you're busy...
- Can we? - Sure.
Is that OK? Great.
Jussi, here!
Good night.
I"m dead tired.
Please!
This is what I call creative accounting.
In what way?
They're trying to conceal their earnings...
...but the question is what they're doing with the profit.
Be careful with the IV stand.
Can I help you?
We thought we'd have a look round, if that's OK with you.
Can we do this later? We're a bit behind schedule.
What's in there?
There's a hospital bed...
...wheelchairs, ECG equipment, an IV stand...
So where are they off to, then?
To a clinic in Eastern Cape Province.
We'd like to have a look inside.
Then you'll have to come back with a warrant.
And we can get one.
While you accompany us to the station.
We already know that you're hiding something...
...and I suggest that you tell us what.
And how it's related to the attempted murder of Henrik Nordstrom.
I can't.
- Why not? - Because it's not related.
He's a tough one.
Yes, maybe you have to be if you make a living in the way he does.
What do you reckon of all this? Selling old hospital equipment?
I wouldn't have a problem with it if they gave it away.
Exactly.
So what's this?
Predavir. An antiretroviral medicine against HIV.
Do you have a license to export it?
What do you do with it?
Do you sell it on the black market in South Africa?
I bet you could make a fortune doing that.
We distribute it, for free.
Free?
- You don't get it, do you? - No.
No. People rarely do.
People are dropping like flies in Africa...
...but we in the West, we just don't understand anything.
And we don't do anything.
This medicine is pirated...
...by a company in Canada. By night.
By day, they make exactly the same medicine...
...but under a different name.
A legally manufactured version, which costs ten times as much.
Even though it contains exactly the same stuff.
So we buy this and make sure it gets into the country.
Illegally?
Yes.
It's the only way if you want to help at least some people.
- So this is where your profits go? - Yes.
And Henrik Nordstrom, where does he enter the picture?
He has the contacts down there and Dag looks after the books...
...which I assume you've already been poking around in.
So what are you going to do? Shut us down?
Al can say now is that what they're doing there is illegal.
It is, but I say this: technically speaking, yes...
...but it's for a bloody good end.
I see, so if we think that a law is wrong...
...it's all right for us to turn a blind eye, is that it?
- No, no... - But that's actually what you're saying.
- No, look. Listen... - If you boil it down.
Come on. That's not what I said.
Listen, we have to decide if we're to keep Peter Unell here or not.
We'll let him go.
This preliminary investigation is only about the murder attempt...
...on Henrik Nordstrom.
- Does he come here often? - Yes.
Johan... something.
Let's see.
Johan...
That's right. Johan Andersson.
Johan Andersson?
Yes. He usually came with his wife.
Did you meet his wife?
I guess I'd bump into her at times, when he arrived...
...but otherwise...
Can you describe her?
She was quite ordinary, I guess.
Shoulder-ish length hair, you know...
...mousy, maybe...
OK. Thank you very much.
It doesn't exactly sound like his wife, now, does it?
No, it doesn't.
Come with me.
- Where to? - Asa Nordstrom.
- Should we tell the others first? - Let's forget them for now. Come on.
There's no point keeping the heart going when the brain is dead.
An organ donation would help many others...
...but you don't have to decide anything right now.
I understand. Thank you.
Pontus and I spoke to a woman there in his parish.
What was her name? Anna something. Anna Roos.
There was something about her.
At first I thought it was her he was having an affair with.
- Does she fit the description? - No, unfortunately not.
- All quiet? - Yes.
God wants to take you home, Henrik. He wants to forgive.
It's his will, I"m just helping him.
Do you understand?
We'd like to have a word with you.
Down at the station, if possible.
Henrik and I have had a happy marriage.
“Have had”?
We all have our differences at times.
So what did you disagree about?
Prominent Care. As I've already told you.
And, God.
Two years ago I joined a non-conformist parish.
Alongside the Church of Sweden.
Henrik was against it.
We have different needs of God.
And other needs?
Has there been any infidelity in your marriage?
No.
- What's your opinion of infidelity? - The Bible says it's a sin.
But God can also...
...test those he loves. Lead them into temptation.
And if you don't pass the test?
God can still forgive.
And let the sinner into his kingdom.
What were you doing last Tuesday afternoon and evening?
I was at home.
A neighbor stopped by at around 5:00.
She was still there at 9:00, 10:00, when they called from the hospital.
Can we have her name and number?
Anita Gripe.
Here.
The timeis 14:52, Jan Martinsson is leaving the room.
Did you know that Henrik often rented a room at the youth hostel?
No.
Along with a woman.
Do you know who that could be?
A member of his parish, perhaps...
...who wanted a private talk in peace and quiet, who knows?
It's not something he'd tell me anyway.
Priests are under avow of secrecy, but maybe you know that.
Anita Gripe confirms that she was with you at home...
...for the whole of Tuesday evening.
I think she's lying.
I think she knows about Henrik's affair.
They lived in South Africa.
- Weren't the bullets made there? - Yes, they were.
The neighbor might be lying about her alibi.
We've got to have more to go on.
The weapon. The identity of the woman at the youth hostel.
We can put together an Identi-Kit...
...but it takes time.
What do you say to a search of Asa Nordstrom's place?
It won't do any harm to ask Katarina.
...there the individual...
...is ensured protection from different kinds of infringement.
Yes, true. But does it count as an absolute or a relative right?
- Do you have a moment? - Of course. Sure.
And the studying's going well?
Outside work hours?
Sorry. We're having such fun, the two of us.
Work just slips our mind.
Well, what do you want?
It's about a search warrant for the priest's home.
We suspect his wife of having a motive.
What degree of suspicion?
That's the problem. She's got an alibi...
If she has an alibi, a house search is highly unlikely, Id say.
It's exactly this that we're talking about in paragraph six.
How are the borderline cases regulated?
It depends on whether...
...it's in practice or in theory...
I mean Jesus Christ, can we concentrate on practice now?
At least just for a minute.
Or is that too much to ask?
He just rubs me the wrong way.
Professionally speaking...
...purely professionally.
I just don't get what... He's going to be a cop.
You can't just sit in front of a computer...
...talking bloody theory.
That's enough. You got the warrant.
Yes, I know.
- Is there a problem? - No, there's no problem.
Good. You can start in there both of you.
- Anita Gripe? - Yes.
But how many times do I have to say it?
I was at home with Asa between 5:00 and 10:00 on Tuesday evening.
You think you can judge me.
I am answerable to God and none other.
You mean in the way that Henrik was made answerable?
When he broke... what was it? The sixth commandment?
Nordstrom.
Of course.
I'll be right there.
Thank you.
That was the hospital. I have to go over there.
Henrik's respirator is to be shut off.
They're standing by for organ donation.
- When? - As soon as possible.
I mean, it's crazy. The prime suspect...
...and yet she's still allowed to decide a thing such as this.
- What does the doctor say? - We've got no proof that it happened.
There isn't a damn thing we can do if she and the doctor decide to play God.
The neighbor.
I'll have to put pressure on her.
If the alibi is false, we have to break it now.
Why would I lie?
- Asa and you, are you friends? - Yes.
Did you know that Henrik and Asa had marital problems?
No.
Peter Unell's wife.
Yes, I found them amongst Asa Nordstrom's underwear.
It shows at least that she knew about his being unfaithful.
Sure, but is it enough?
What time is it? Shit!
Damn it...
Svartman, pick up, for God's sake.
When you press five and you can see that bar go up...
...and when it reaches the top you get an extra ten points.
Shit.
Get a move on, you old bastard!
And then this little guy comes along and asks, “Hi, are you a fisherman?”...
...or something like that.
No, shit!
So who the hell gave you the right to play God?
Such decisions are taken by the patient's next of kin...
...in this case, Asa Nordstrom.
So you mean you doctors aren't at all responsible?
Henrik Nordstrom had injuries to his brain stem.
All attempts to get him to breathe again unaided failed.
And so you kill him?
In the middle of a police investigation?
In consultation with one of our prime suspects?
You should be fucking reported.
No, we didn't make it in time.
Yeah, it's terrible.
We'll haul in Peter Unell again.
If there's jealousy involved, he's got a motive too.
Yes.
Exactly. Good. Bye.
Right, so you found that.
I wondered when you would.
When did you make up your mind?
When did you decide that Henrik was to die?
She was the one who killed Henrik, not me.
- Lotta Unell shot Henrik? - No.
I don't mean that she shot him.
I mean that she killed him when she made him sin.
- Is that how you see it? - That's how God sees it.
But it doesn't matter anymore.
He's forgiven now.
I've helped him home, back to God.
So now you think God will forgive you, is that right?
Let me make one thing damn clear.
There's no god in the world that sanctions murder.
As I said before, he was officially declared dead at 5:39 p.m.
What do you reckon? Shall we go home, Jussi?
Shall we go home?
Yes, let's go home.
We'll go home.
Jussi?
Jussi!
Damn dog!
You haven't seen Jussi anywhere, have you?
- Jussi? No. Why? Has he run off? - We got home and then he just took off.
Oh, dear.
No.
I've been searching for half an hour, but...
I guess he'll make his way back on his own.
'M sure he will.
- Are you sitting there working? - Yes.
You don't fancy a glass of wine or something, do you?
Sure, but I can't tonight.
I've got a lot of work to get through. I...
By the way, we're planning to bring in Peter Unell for questioning tomorrow.
Good.
It seems as if it's this affair, doesn't it?
Right, I'll carry on searching.
- Bye. - Bye.
- Hope you find him. - Yeah. Thanks. Bye.
Where have you been?
Just out for a walk.
Did you hear about Henrik Nordstrom?
What about him?
He's apparently been declared brain-dead.
- That's terrible. - Isn't it?
And strange, somehow, wouldn't you say?
To live, and yet not.
You exist, but it's like you can never do all the things you used to.
Talk, laugh,
eat,
fuck.
Do you think he misses it?
The fucking?
- I don't know. - But what do you think?
Do priests like it?
- Do they like it? - I don't know.
Or what do you think?
I know, but he's wearing a collar with my telephone number on it.
So he'll turn up, right?
I just thought I'd report it.
Yes. Thanks.
Oh, good Lord. Where can he be?
I don't know.
Probably out looking for a girl.
Whatever, he'll come home soon.
Oh, dear me. Ystad Police?
No, Asa Nordstrom has not been written off as a suspect.
She's still up there with Peter Unell.
Yes and now...
...we're looking at a new charge.
Exactly. Murder, not attempted murder.
We've had it confirmed that Lotta Unell was at the youth hostel.
Yes.
Then let's bring both her and Peter Unell in for questioning.
But we're going for him?
- At present, yes. - And the motive is jealousy, right?
Possibly.
Which doesn't mean that we drop Prominent Care.
No, we'll be searching their offices today.
Good.
Any questions?
I know what you're thinking.
But it was more than sex.
I loved Henrik, and Henrik loved me.
Who knew about your affair?
No one, as far as I know.
We were going to come out in the open...
...but we never made it that far.
So neither your husband nor his wife...
...knew anything about the affair...
...you're sure of that?
I know that neither of us said anything.
But then if either of them picked up on anything...
I didn't think Peter knew.
But I do now.
Though he'd never come out and say it.
He uses it as a kind of power thing.
- It's hard to explain. - Try.
Peter is an idealist and a perfectionist.
Both at work and privately, and he expects everyone else to be too.
And that can be a bit hard, if you both live and work together.
Happiness is a forbidden thing in his eyes.
And if you long for happiness or treat yourself to some happiness...
...you're weak. Do you understand?
I think so.
I was happy with Henrik.
Do you think...
...that Peter could have something to do with Henrik's death?
I don't know.
I wish I could say no, but...
I don't actually know.
This is your fault. You see that, don't you?
Did you know that your wife...
...was having an affair with Henrik Nordstrom?
No.
What were you doing last Tuesday between 6:00 and 10:00 p.m.?
I've already said.
I was at home working. I watched a little TV.
- Alone? - Yes.
Is it a crime to be home alone?
- Here. - Thanks.
Do you recognize these?
No.
They're the bullets that Henrik Nordstrom was shot with.
Manufactured by a munitions company in South Africa.
Henrik had many contacts in South Africa.
He looked after the business down there.
That entails risks. And he knew that.
- Risks? - Yes.
People who get caught somewhere along the distribution chain...
...or problems that have to be solved there and then.
You mean that he had enemies down there?
Yes, what do you think?
So why is he lying about being unfaithful?
I don't know.
Asa Nordstrom knew too, didn't she? Why is she lying?
I don't know.
I'm sorry, but we're not quite done here yet.
No, no, of course.
These keys, do you recognize them?
Yes, they're Peter's.
Good.
What are you looking for? Is he a suspect?
I"m sorry...
...but we can't give out any details about the investigation.
But I have to know! Don't you see? I can't cope with this...
Nyberg?
Excuse me.
What the...? What the hell's this?
When... Who took these?
That's what we're going to find out.
- Where were they? - Amongst Peter Unell's things.
Where we also found this camera, which the pictures were taken with.
- Is it his? - Yes.
OK. If we do this carefully, he could be ours.
Hang on.
All we have are the photos.
Taken covertly...
...with Peter Unell's camera, of his wife and the victim.
That doesn't have to mean that he actually killed him.
- No. But it's a good qualified guess. - Yes, to say the least.
How do you know that?
How can you be so damn sure of that?
Have another look at them.
How do you think that Peter Unell felt when he saw them?
Confront him with them.
And maybe he'll confess.
- Good work, with the photos. - Thanks. I guess we have to...
Right.
Id like you...
...to take a look at these photographs.
You could at least look at them!
Look at them and tell me how it feels.
I've never seen them before.
Who the hell are you?
You couldn't take it anymore, could you?
The idea that your wife was sleeping with another man.
I don't know what you're talking about.
You know exactly what I'm talking about.
It's just that you're such a fucking coward!
Such a fucking coward when it comes to your own life.
The courage to travel on the surface...
...but when it comes to your own life, you're such a fucking coward.
I'm not.
You friend fucks your wife, and instead of having a civilized talk...
-...you shoot him down. - Shut up!
- No. You shoot him down. - Shut up!
I'm not going to have this conversation with you.
I want a lawyer.
Jesus, Peter...
What the hell's going on?
We'll sort this out.
We just have to stick together, and we'll sort it. OK?
Yes?
- Hi. Whose is it? - Peter Unell's.
I can say straight off that you're making a huge bloody mistake.
- Really? Are we? - I've known Peter since the second grade...
...and I know that he'd never have it in him to hurt someone.
No, you don't know, you just think that you know.
I was bullied when I was a kid.
My whole first year was a living hell and then Peter came along.
He defended me, not because he had to...
...but because he knew right from wrong.
And now you want to defend him.
Yes. For the same reason.
Not because I have to...
...but because he taught me what was right and wrong.
- Are you going to arrest him? - Yes.
On what grounds? Some photos taken with his camera?
We're fully aware of what we have and don't have, OK?
And you also know that he has a powerful motive, but lacks an alibi.
If you're so simple-minded that you think that Peter could plan a murder...
...don't you think he'd have gotten himself an alibi?
And a motive.
You know what we do, for Christ's sake.
And how we work.
And you also understand that there are much more...
...credible motives than jealousy.
What if someone's trying to frame Peter?
Who would that be?
I don't know. But I suggest you find out.
That you find out, seeing as you also know what's right and wrong.
Good-bye.
Yes?
- Busy?
- No, no, not now. - Good.
I just wanted to discuss something with you.
If we're on the right track.
- About what? - About Peter Unell.
Is he the one we're looking for?
It looks like it, doesn't it?
Henrik Nordstrom was, after all...
...the one who looked after Prominent Care's business in Africa.
Illegally.
He must have had a hell of a lot of enemies...
Hi. Right, thanks.
- Double macchiato. - Thanks a lot. Thanks.
- Would you like one too? - No, thanks. I'm all right.
Take a seat. We're discussing Peter Unell.
Has something new come up, or what?
No, you couldn't say that.
I just don't want us to drop the company and the business.
Talk. What's on your mind?
I don't know. It's just more of a... hunch.
Yes? Kurt here.
Good.
That was Nyberg.
What did he want?
They've found a weapon. In Peter Unell's car.
That's great!
By the authority...
...of our Lord Jesus Christ and by your own confession of faith...
...I baptize you...
...in the name of the Father, the Son...
...and the Holy Ghost.
- Hi. - Hi.
Careful, it's loaded.
That was a joke.
- Well, do they match? - Yes.
Like identical twins.
So we have one murder weapon.
Mission accomplished.
So the table is laid for prosecutor Ahlsell in court.
What the...?
Where have you been?
Where have you been, Jussi?
I've been so worried.
Where have you been?
Why, it's Jussi!
Come on, scamp, come here! Where have you been?
Where have you been? You've been away from mommy for so long!
- When did he turn up? - I don't know. He just appeared.
- Just now? - Yes.
I guess he wanted to go home. To you.
Tome? He's your dog! Bye.
There. That's better.
Now you're all clean. There.
Look at how clean you are. Good dog.
Come on! There, there. In you go. I'll be right there.
Good boy.
Come on, let's goin and get something to eat.
Come!
Come, boy!
Here, Jussi! Come on!
We will be providing evidence that Peter Unell...
...took the life of Henrik Nordstrom...
...on Tuesday 24 March 2009 at Snarestad Youth Hostel...
...Ystad.
- Are you sure? - Yes.
Anna Roos said that she didn't know...
Henrik Nordstrom outside work, and nothing about knowing Asa.
If Asa Nordstrom and Anna Roos are hiding something...
It'll come out, and in front of more than just her damned god.
We'll never get the go-ahead from above.
The preliminary investigation has been closed.
Then we won't bother about permission from above.
I can check it out.
'M atrainee, NO one cares what I do anyway.
Is that so?
Usually.
Then I suggest that you keep an eye on Asa Nordstrom.
But keep your head down.
Can I take one of the surveillance cars?
Sure.
- And look... - Head down. I heard.
I reckon it's about two weeks ago that she finished here.
It just wasn't viable anymore when she got so deeply involved...
...in all that non-conformist stuff.
Do you know where I can get a hold of her?
So here we have the weapon from which was fired the shot...
...that killed Henrik Nordstrom.
A hunting rifle, 5.6x1 5r caliber.
The police forensic investigation of Peter Unell's car...
...uncovered the weapon hidden under the back seat.
Proceedings opened today at Ystad district court...
...against the 45-year-old man suspected of the murder of a priest...
...in Ljunit parish, west of Ystad. The 45-year-old...
...faces charges of murder and attempted murder..
...on suspicion of having shot the priest...
...who later died of his wounds...
How's it going?
All quiet.
I'll call if something happens.
I've got to hang up.
'M so incredibly glad to have you.
You were right about everything.
You said that I'd be scared beforehand, and I was.
But afterwards... once I'd done it...
Anna...
You just did what God wanted you to do.
I know.
I just showed you the way.
Maybe he is innocent.
And Asa Nordstrom is the one trying to frame him.
Asa Nordstrom gets Anna Roos to shoot Henrik...
Yes, with a load of non-conformist nonsense...
...about his having sinned and needing help...
...to enter the Kingdom of God...
And then she gets herself a watertight alibi from her neighbor.
Sure. It's absolutely possible.
But it's damned far-fetched.
That she'd set traps to eventually frame Peter Unell.
No. Or damned smart.
She knew that she'd been cheated too and that we'd find out.
Maybe Henrik had the keys to the office...
...and if so, Asa could easily have got in.
- She didn't have the keys to the car. - No. Not to the car.
Oh, yeah, right.
Hi, Nyberg. It's Kurt.
The car that the weapon was found in.
Where were the keys?
- Have you got a couple of seconds? - Sure.
Henrik Nordstrom, he had the keys to the office?
Yes, he did.
And in the office were the spare keys to the car?
I don't know. Peter's the only one who uses the car.
But it's very possible. It's registered to the company, so...
- Why do you ask? - I don't know...
Maybe you're right. Someone could have framed Peter.
I see... At last.
Tell me what I can do. I'll do anything.
No. Nothing. Yet.
I'll have to check if this holds water first.
It doesn't matter. Or rather, of course it does, but...
I needed this.
That someone other than me believes in Peter.
I would like to stress...
...that this prosecution...
...is extremely speculative.
There are no witnesses, and it's fully possible...
...that the weapon with which Henrik Nordstrom was shot...
...could have been placed in Peter Unell's car by someone else.
Yes, hello, I'd like the address of one Anna Roos.
That's Roos, with two Os.
I see. And you've got no forwarding details?
No, OK. Thanks.
Jussi, none of that, now. Come on.
Would you recognize the woman...
...with whom Henrik Nordstrom stayed at the youth hostel?
Yes.
Is she here in this room?
She's here in this room. She's sitting there.
Would you like to stand up?
- Is this the woman you mean? - Yes, of course. That's her.
- Are you totally sure? - Yes.
Thank you.
Defense counsel, any questions?
You were away the day...
...that Henrik Nordstrom was found shot, is that right?
Yes, I was, but...
That's all I wanted to know. You were away.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Id like to call another witness...
...who wasn't part of the preliminary investigation.
Joel Karlsson to court 4.
Can you start...
...by saying where you live?
Nowhere.
Or rather, at the moment, in a camper down by the harbor.
What were you doing on Tuesday 24 March at around 6:00 p.m.?
- I was out at the youth hostel. - Why was that?
I usually... steal a little food there sometimes.
From the kitchen. I mean, no one ever notices anything.
But it's illegal.
Was that why you didn't dare come forward as a witness?
Yes. Though I never understood what had happened.
But then I saw on TV that there'd been a murder...
...and there was a trial and I was like, “Shit.”
Can you tell us...
...what you saw outside the youth hostel that Tuesday?
A Ford estate. Black.
Could it have been this car?
Yes. Or a car like it, at least.
The witness identifies the defendant's vehicle...
...registration number WXM 837.
Did you see who was driving the car?
Yes.
Can you see this person in the room now?
Yes. The one sitting there.
Would you please point the person out?
You are absolutely certain?
Yes.
Thank you.
Defense counsel, any questions?
- No questions. - Thank you.
Let us consider the session closed.
She's framed me! Henrik Nordstrom's wife!
- Jesus, cut it out! - Come on, can't you see it was her?
- Come on, cut it out... - Who else would it be?
She's framed me! Don't you get it?
You explain to me instead how you could lie...
Listen to me!
It was her, get it?
You bastard! Let me go! Let me go!
Damn!
I Know I've seen him somewhere.
I know!
The Prominent Care warehouse.
- Maybe he works there. - Go home. I'll tail him.
Hi, you've got through to Isabelle. I can't get to the phone right now...
.50 leave a message and I'll call you back. Bye!
I'm at the Prominent Care warehouse.
I don't know what the hell is going on here, but the witness is here...
...and I'd like you to run a check on a medicine called Zetriva.
Z-E-triva.
Hang on, someone's coming.
This is for the testimony, OK?
You'll have to load the boxes first.
They're to leave from Sturup airport in an hour.
- What the hell...? - Set to it! OK?
Come on.
Hang on, someone's coming.
CARCINOGENIC ANTIRETROVIRAL THERAPY WITHDRAWN
Can I have my money now?
Sorry.
Police! Drop the gun.
Drop the gun!
Hands on the car.
What is Zetriva?
An antiretroviral medicine.
Like Predavir.
The one you give away, the other you sell at a high price...
...on the side.
I"m not ashamed.
Not everyone can be Peter, with his fucking Jesus complex.
Peter wanted to do good and you wanted to make money.
No. I wanted to do both.
Henrik Nordstrom, did he find out what you were up to?
He got suspicious. And started to go on and on...
...about greed, God and every fucking thing besides.
He'd no doubt have gone blabbing to Peter...
...if he wasn't screwing his wife at the same time...
...the sanctimonious bastard.
Stop there!
Stop!
Drop it!
So you killed Henrik, and framed Peter.
I had no choice. Just like now.
You won't get away with me.
By the time they find you, I'll be sitting on a plane to South Africa.
Don't you fucking move. Hear me?
I will shoot.
The court has decided...
...to dismiss the proceedings against Peter Unell...
...and to set him free with immediate effect.
The court hereby declares the case closed.
Shall we go?
But you can't be saying that he thought...
...he was doing something good for mankind?
No, not good, maybe, but yes, in part.
But he was selling carcinogenic medicines to AIDS patients. It...
- Sure, but they would've died anyway. - Yes...
Probably much more quickly, with no hope at all.
I see, OK, so he was selling hope, you mean?
I believe he saw it like that.
- Want a lift? - Thanks, that'd be great.
We're off.
- Bye. - Bye.
Well...
What can I say?
What are you doing tonight?
What can I say?
I know a damn good place.
Great food. Excellent wines.
Not that newly opened place, though, but another...
Come and see!
God, they're so beautiful!
- Thanks. - Here.
- It must be someone's birthday. - An important one, no doubt.
It must have cost a fortune.
You know, I'll be 50 in a few weeks.
No way!
I wouldn't have guessed that.
I don't think it'll be that bad, actually.
- So how will you be celebrating it? - Escape.
To some unknown place.
Take the kids and just get away for a few days.
And then I don't think there's much to celebrate either. Woman, 50...
- Do you feel old? - Sometimes.
I think that was why I found it so nice...
...working with Pontus on his dissertation.
That he at his age...
...sought out my company and wanted my experience and...
I felt young, somehow.
Well, I hope he gets a very good grade...
...after all the work you've both put into that.
- Were you a bit jealous? - No.
- Come on... - OK, OK. A little.
Kurt...
- Well, well... - Yep.
No, I'm starting to get cold.
Shall we go back inside?
