Because you're relatively young, because you're reasonably healthy,

Hang on. What's up? What's up?
(STAMMERING) Hans' dad's gone missing.
Well, what happened?
Sunday morning.
Hakan got up for his walk and left the house before Louise got up.
And she heard him go, but he didn't come back.
- What time? - 6:(/)0 am. He does it every day.
And where does he walk? Oh, sit down, sit down, come on.
Uh, past the lake, into the woods, back of their place.
It's a kilometre and a half there and back.
And has Louise told the police?
Yeah, they've looked. 1 suppose, whatever...
The usual searches, but I...
Has Hans gone up?
(LAUGHS) No, she told him not to drop everything if he was busy,
- but he's upset, Dad, he's worried. - I know.
Most people don't stay lost. 90% of them come back by themselves.
Can you go up, Dad? See if you can help?
- Sure, I'll give the police a call. - (SIGHS) Oh, thanks.
But I'm suspended though, 1 can't arrest anyone.
(CHUCKLES)
(LAUGHING)
I'm sure he'll be fine.
You tell Hans that. Tell him his Dad will be fine.
Mmm.
I love you, Dad.

Oh, Kurt. I thought it might have been...
There's a policeman down over the lake, Ytterberg, I've told him you're coming.
How are you?
This is so kind of you, but, really I'm...
Please don't worry about me.
We'll find him, Louise.
Yes.
Y'I'I'ERBERG: And no sign?
Thanks.
Wallander.
- Ytterberg. - Good to meet you.
They're calling it a day.
The Navy sent a team to dredge the lake.
He's not in the forest, the dogs couldn't find him.
He's not in the water.
His wife doesn't think he has any enemies.
What do you think?
(SIGHS) Suicide? Accident?
Be my guest if you want to look into it.

Are you a breakfast person?
I'm diabetic.
Oh, you're not fat.
Well, uh...
I was wondering if Hakan would have kept
the cards from his birthday. Does he usually do that?
Oh, I doubt that.
Now, what does a diabetic eat?
Uh, just some fruit, some cereal...
Oh.
You don't have to. I'll... It's fine, it's fine.

Hakan's friend Sten called. He's waiting to hear from you.

Okay, sorry. I...

Um, yeah, well, the teachers seem nice.
Doesn't Linda want to stay at home? Or doesn't Hans earn enough?

You know, I'll make this call, if I may. Thanks.
Excuse me. Excuse me, Sten Nordlander?
Yeah. Wallander?
Yeah, Ithink Louise gave you a call.
- Yeah, she did, yes, yes. Linda's dad? - Right.
Yeah, I can see it. Never met her, but...
So were you... You weren't at Hakan's birthday party?
Ah, my sister was sick. Plus it's not my kind of thing, so.
Was there anything on his mind recently? Anything troubling him?
Would you say he was depressed?
Yeah. Like about 60% of the population.
I mean, he was a brooder.
All this stuffjust lately,
Putin sending subs into Swedish waters.
Whether or not we should do anything, whether or not we identify them. (BLOWS)
Provoke an incident, it brought it all back again.
The submarine incursions from the '805.
Pretty much torpedoed the both of us.
You think somebody's killed him?
Well, why would somebody kill him?
I don't know.
Who wouldn't?
Didn't kill himself, though.
You want to come up?
No, thank you.
Can you remember the last thing that he said to you?
I don't know. Probably something about boats.
Not much else to talk about.
I don't think either of us have ever done much else.

Uh, yeah. Billiards in the diary. She says he never played.
Oh, what, an affair?
Would you put it in the diary like that?
No.1 mean, 1 wouldn't.

- They function, 1 th'mk. But... - That's what 1...
You know what marriages can be like.
Well, I... I mean, what exactly did he do? 'Cause I'm not...
A submarine commander,
but Hans thinks he might been in Naval Intelligence.
Although, it's not something that you... I mean, I don't think...
You keep that a secret even from your family, right?
Maybe that's why Louise is like she is.
It's hard to live with someone if you know they're keeping secrets.

I hadn't intended to turn up without warning,
but I got the time in Copenhagen wrong.
I, uh, I've been up to visit Louise.
- Right. - Got time for a walk?
WILSON: Ah, it's hard to talk to Louise. Can't get a thing out of her.
It's tough. I thought I'd come speak to you.
You think he had an accident?
We don't know. He was just gone.
He left a message on my answer service a couple of weeks ago.
I don't check it regularly these days.
Nothing in it to suggest he was thinking of,
you know, doing something stupid.
Just, "Give me a call." Didn't seem urgent.
Now, of course, I wonder.
Did he visit you in America?
Every few years, he and Louise.
Once upon a time, Louise got along very well with my late wife.
You know, Hans is married to my daughter.
No, I never met Hans.
I was gonna drop by and say hi before I go.
- Also, the sister. - Sister?
Signe.
I didn't know Hakan had a sister.
Perhapsl misremember.
Er, I tend to muddle things these days.

Erm, I assume that she is the sister of,
erm, Hakan von Enke.
Er, yeah. Yes.
Personal number is 400117-5498.
Probably born in the '305 or '405.
- Yeah. - (INDISTINCT VOICE ON PHONE)

Is there... Is there an address?
- Can I help you? - Er, I'm looking for Signe von Enke...
Her brother's married to my daughter.
- NURSE: I didn't know she had a brother. - He doesn't know he has a sister.
NURSE: Well, it's only ever her father who visits. Hakan, regular as clockwork.
WALLANDER: The first Friday of every month, yes?
NURSE: Uh-huh.
She is blind, severely brain damaged.
She's lived in places like this her whole life.
What does her father do when he comes to see her?
He sits with her, reads to her, holds her hand.
- He was here last on the 6th? - I can check.
Please. Thank you.

Yeah, she's not answering her phone either.
Yes, I know. I've tried it, too.

If you could give me the name and address of the nursing home, I'll...
WALLANDER: Sure.
Did they see her?
- Did they spend time with her? - Your dad did.
- Well, what about when she was a child? - I don't think your mother ever saw her.
What kind of people pretend their daughter is dead?
I don't know.
I don't know. There's a lot of things that don't make sense.
Erm, do you recognise this voice?
MAN: (ON TAPE) The idea that the government had purposely
- let the Russian submarines go? - (TURNS OFF TAPE)
- No. Who is it? - I don't know.
Ithinkl need you to be careful, Hans.
1 don't want you at work 3“ hours of the day
not until I find out what's happened.
Why are you saying this?
My mother has committed suicide. There's nothing...
I can look after my family. I don't need you trying to scare me.
(BIRDS SQUAWKING)
I'm gonna take them back to Copenhagen.
We'll be back at the weekend.
- Hey. - Bye, Dad.
- (ENGINE STARTING) - Bye-bye.
Why do you think she took her shoes off?
I mean, the soles of her feet weren't dirty.
How do you hang yourself over a lake without getting your feet wet?
- These were in her coat pocket. - All right. What are they?
It's microfilm. It's microfilm of Naval documents.
Plans, movement orders. They're old, 30-odd years.
It's the same kind of film the Stasi used.
All right, listen to this.
MAN: (ON TAPE) Did you ever have any reason
to believe that one of the Naval command may have been unreliable?
HAKAN: How do you define that?
A spy? A traitor?
“antenna“
- Who is he talking to? - I don't know. I don't know.
(STAMMERING) Where did you get it?
It was taped under a drawer in his study.
There's no indication of, er, who he was talking to or when.
(STAMMERING) He had a letter. Some sort of news or something,
on his birthday. It was a card. It was in with the other cards.
There was something, in it. I think. It was a photo, I think.
It really shook him.
Somebody's digging around in the past, from that time,
into this alleged espionage.
I mean, Ithought it was Hakan who was under pressure, but...
Maybe, it was Louise. Maybe, he was...
Suspicious of her.
I mean, what, what is this? Is this a suicide note? Confession?
- What's happened to him, then? - I don't know. I don't know.
- I... But, it doesn't... Ugh! - Look... (SIGHS)
This all seems very elaborate.
If we suspect foul play, I'd be inclined to look closer to home.
- Meaning? - Does Hans have financial problems?
He stands to inherit the property, the money. He's been dealing
- with his parent's finances. - No.
I'm just going from past experience.

- Come on. - (ENGINE STARTING)

, uh...
Ifound something.
Oh, my goodness, me.
- What is it all about? - Haarsfjaerden.
- The submarine incursions.
I knew he was always trying to find out where the orders were coming from.
I didn't know he was going into it in so much detail.
Why were the submarines...
Why was that incident so important to him?
The commander wasn't the only one to be upset.
We all wondered what the hell had gone on.
Ruined a lot of careers.
Soviet subs in Swedish waters.
And in the end, we had to let them go without identifying them.
- Lot of rumours going around. - Rumors? About spies?
Traitors.
A weak link in the chain of command.
So somebody gave a direct order not to raise the submarines?
Yes. There was an order to take no action.
Could it have been
Hakan who decided that?
No! No... (STAMMERS)
Do you mind taking a look at the back of the book, please?
- Louise. - WALLAN DER: Yea h, Louise.
So, she's in there, too.
Do you think that
she could have accessed confidential information of his,
that she could have passed it on to somebody?
That, in some way, she was the bad link in the command?
No! That's totally ridiculous...
I don't think either Hakan or Louise committed suicide.
I think there's somebody here now and they're covering up,
they're cleaning up.
Hakan is not a traitor, neither was Louise.

(BUSY TONE)
RECEPTIONIST: Good evening. Ostermalm Restaurant.
Hello, this is Kurt Wallander.
I want to talk about some people who worked at your restaurant.
(KNOCKING)
I was a Communist.
I suppose I still am, in a way.
The only political truth that can't be questioned,
in my opinion.
Is that why you applied for the job?
I was asked to apply by the Party.
It was of some interest to know what Conservative Naval officers
were talking about amongst themselves.
Nobody suspected that a waitress with swollen legs
would remember what they had said.
I spoke about it to my comrades, but that was all.
It was 30 years ago.
It can't matter now, can it?
Do you, er...
Do you remember him? His name was Commander von Enke.
He was one of the better ones.
He didn't drink too much, didn't say too much.
Polite.
So you didn't know him?
In what way?
As a member of the Party?
- Or... - (LAUGHING)
No.
He was the same as the rest of them.
Hated the Prime Minister, terrified of Russia.
The fight between God and the devil.
And the devil was in the East?
And God the Father was also known as the USA.
Commander von Enke's wife has been found dead
in mysterious circumstances.
He has disappeared.
Despite appearances, I think, one or both of them might have been...
Had some involvement...
I think one of them
might have been a Soviet agent, in fact.
And I think somebody might have killed them because of that.
Could he have been the one who killed her?
That's what usually happens.
Or perhaps it has to do with the book.
Which book?
The historian.
He's writing a book about all this.
I have something here.
MAN: (ON TAPE) Did you discuss the submarine incursions?
Yes, yes, that's him.

You don't know me, my name's Kurt Wallander.
- Yes? - I'm a policeman
and Hakan von Enke is my daughter's father-in-law.
Commander von Enke is a dangerous man. He is a traitor of the worst kind.
Why do you say that?
He made sure that those submarines would never be raised.
There were never any orders.
And then he made an almighty fuss to cover his tracks.
So you delivered that card to him on his birthday?
Telling him what... What was in that card?
Ha!
- Uh... - No.
(GUNSHOT IN DISTANCE)
Itracked a record of payments from the Naval treasury to a fisherman
whose nets had been damaged during the incursion.
Hakan authorised payments and he overpaid.
The usual payment was 3,000 krona.
When I spoke to the fisherman, he told me he had been paid 100,000.
He found something,
and Hakan paid him to keep it quiet.
So what does the fisherman say now?
He's dead. His son's alive.
He knows something, but he's keeping quiet.
Money clearly still talks.
You know that Hakan von Enke's wife is dead?
Yes, I saw.
Yeah, and I think that you speaking to him prompted this,
whatever this, whatever all this is.
He came here eventually to find out what I knew.
To see how close I was getting to it.
I can't prove itjust now.
My best lead was a defector by the name of Ragolin,
who maintained that there was a Soviet spy
in the Ostermalm Dining Club.
He had no corroborating evidence, but I'll find it.
Hakan won't scare me off.
Dead or alive.
- You don't think he is dead. - I don't believe it for a second.
He's alive,
he's dangerous,
and he's behind all this.
What did Commander von Enke pay your father for?
Damaged nets.
And you told this man from Stockholm about it?
Yup.
You told him that you had never asked your father what he got paid for?
- No. - That you were never curious,
that you never wanted to know what your father knew?
You never wanted to know what your father was paid
100,000 krona to keep quiet about?
What's it matter now, eh?
This man who paid your father off is my...
Is my daughter's father-in-law,
and he is my
granddaughter's other grandad.
And I don't know whether he is alive or dead,
and I don't know whether he is dangerous.
And all I want to know is, if he's alive,
are my family in danger?
And I don't think I've got much time left.
And I really need to sort it out.
Come on.
Come.
(MOBILE RINGING)
Yeah, Wallander.
MAN: 0/7, hi} Kurt. So it's good news.
They've docked your month's pay and you can come back to work immediately,
I've just heard.
Oh, great. Thanks. Er...
Can I have a couple of days leave?
- Well, um... - I'm up north and I need to...
Yeah, okay, okay. Okay, Monday then.
Hello, Kurt.
- There you are. - Ah, that's mighty kind of you.
To your health.
So what are you doing here?
(SIGHS) I guess I didn't make my flight.
I've been trying to think of some piece of information
that might help figure out what's happened.
And did you think of something?
A friend of mine and I, we were colleagues...
And I had this deal with him that he would help me.
And if ever he became troubled by any consequences,
then he would let me know and I would help him, in return.
And the way that he would let me know would be
that he would disappear.
And how would you help him?
I'd find him, take him elsewhere.
It's an American device.
Those submarines weren't Russian, they were American,
and Hakan was working for you.
At that time, it was considered a priority
to destabilise the government here.
It was perceived as being Communist.
It worked.
After the fake Russian subs,
support for the East dwindled away to almost nothing.
Which was another border made safe, another front closed down.
And Louise?
Louise?
So, was it always part of the rescue plan that she would die?
That he would arrange a suicide, leave evidence to blame her?
I liked Louise.
Where is he?
Waiting for me.
But I won't go fetch him.
It would be inadvisable for us to become involved.
Far better for someone else.
Someone with an interest to make him face up to his responsibilities.
To what he's done.
What about your responsibilities?
You wouldn't be here if you weren't afraid to face them.
Ifl confront Hakan with what he's done, I'll make sure I do the same for you.
You're not in the best of health.
You have a family.
Are you sure you want to make that threat?
Where is he?
(GUN COCKING)
Hakan, it's Kurt. I'm going to turn around.
HAKAN: Put the rifle down.
Turn around if you wish.
Move.
If you leave me, if you let me go out of here, Kurt,
I'll let you go.
Where the hell do you think you're going?
They're not going to come and get you.
You're waiting down here for a boat that will never arrive. Wilson sold you out.
- No, no. - Yes, he did. Yes, he did.
I'm not going down in history as a traitor.
My family...
Klara will not grow up with the shame of what I've done.
Yet you'll let them believe the lie of what your wife did.
My wife...
My wife cannot be punished, living or dead, any more.
And she has punished me and my daughter.
And so you destroyed her.
You destroyed yourself.
All to hide your treachery in a war that finished 30 years ago.
You and I both do similar things, Kurt.
We see things, live through things that would horrify any normal person.
We do it to protect our children.
Hakan von Enke, you're under arrest for the murder of Louise von Enke.
No.
Allow me to go.
(GUN CLA'ITERS)
You know I can't do that.
Kurt?
(IN DISTINCT VOICES)
Kurt.
(SPLASHING)
Hakan? Hakan!
Hakan!
WALLANDER: Despondency breaks off its course.
Anguish breaks off its course.
The vulture breaks off its flight.
The eager light streams out.
Even the ghosts take a draught.
And our paintings see daylight.
Our red beasts of the ice age studios.
Everything begins to look around.
We walk in the sun in hundreds.
Each man is a half open door, leading to a room for everyone.
The endless ground under us.
The water is shining among the trees.
The lake is a window into the earth.
Where did he wash up?
Near Saltsj6n.
Drowning is the worst way to go.
Yes, well...
My condolences.
Thanks.
(PLAYFUL LAUGHTER)
(IN DISTINCT CHATTER)
(PLAYFUL SCREAMING)'
LINDA: Oh, no. Oh, no.
Thanks.
(KLARA SCREAMING PLAYFULLY)'
It's only when you have kids, you start...
understanding your own parents.
WALLANDER: You realise that, you know, eventually it stops.
That being a parent is more or less
a long process of...
Letting go.
I never got to give Linda away.
I'm glad she married you.
(PLAYFUL SCREAMING)'
(ALARM RINGING)
(BIRDS SQUAWKING)
It'sjust moments now, Dad.
Everything...
It's just moments now.
They don't join up.
POVEL: What don't?
My memories.
My life doesn'tjoin up.
I can't remember.
Someone else will remember.
Someone will remember for you.
LINDA: Dad?
- KLARA: Yucy! (LAUGHING) - (DOG BARKING)
- (DOG YELPING) - (KLARA LAUGHING)
Are you okay?
Yeah.
I'm fine.
(DOG BARKING)
