"It's the bridge's fault." "They should never have built the lortebro." " Now we get all the shit from the city coming over." " What did they take?" "Everything they could." "Jewels, Camera, TV." "And I'd just gone out on a little trip to Åland." " What did the police say?" " They didn't seem that interested." "it's the fifth burglary already." "They need to do something about it?" "They're shit on this island." "They only care about football." " Have you heard about it?" " Yes." "How is Inga taking it?" " She's probably in shock a bit." " You'd better remember to lock up." "Gunnar has problems with his tractor again." "Can you take a look at it?" " Shall we say nine o'clock tomorrow?" " That sounds fine." "See you." "How is it going out there?" "I expect you locked the house up?" "I'll have a cup of coffee and a slice of bread." "You can put a heart in a bag as well." " Only one?" " I need to think of my weight." " And some crumbs for the chickens, too?" " Yes, thanks." "Welcome back." "How was the conference?" " Intense. has Martin come in yet?" " he's coming." "Look, look!" "The Director General is back." "As time goes, however." "Welcome." " Have you had fun?" " Why wouldn't we?" "!" "When the cat's away the rats eat each other." " What's happened here?" " I don't know." " They could be depressed." " Do you think so?" "It looks more like they want to claw each other's eyes out." "Oh, you mean..." "It could be a little too dark." "Who wants to claw each other's eyes out?" "It probably needs a bit more light." "Good morning." "Sorry." "The T lane was grid-locked again." " I just need some coffee." " Me too." "Black." " You usually have milk." " It depends on my mood." " How did the conference go?" " Has anything happened while I've been away?" "No." "Not much." " we've reviewed some old cases..." " Between Alice and Gunvald?" " No. it's the same as usual." " Why are you lying?" "I'm not lying." "I said nothing happened, and nothing did." "They're trying to claw each other's eyes out." "That's an exageration." "They do give each other a wide berth." " I warned you." " And I warned Gunvald." " Has it affected their work?" " No." "It's been very quiet." "Good." "I've decided to send five of the staff for in-service training whilst it's this quiet." " Why?" " To improve departmental efficiency." " And what if it gets busy again?" " Sorry..." "A corpse has been found in the water out by Beck Holm." " Did they find her?" " Yes." "Bring them in." " How long has she been there?" " Approximately one week." " Any identification?" " No." " Hookers tend not to carry it." " Are you a regular customer?" "She's got a tattoo." "I want a photo as soon as possible." "Seal off the area and sweep the entire pier." "Contact the Port Office." "Go door to door, call all taxi operators and vejkontoret." "Oberg is back, and she knows how things stand between you two." "I'd keep a low profile if I were you." "It's just my advice." "I've talked with Hillman." "No asian's been reported missing." "She may be an illegal." "Ask him to contact the Directorate for Foreigners." " I already have done." " Good." " Are you sure it was today?" " He said nine o'clock." "It's nearly ten already." "And he's not here and his car is gone." " Look, the door's ajar." " he's probably gone out and forgotten to close it." "That's certainly not so smart right now with all the break-ins round here." " What are you doing?" " Erik?" "Are you in?" "Shall we go in and take a look?" "You've always been curious." "He could come back any minute." "Close the door and let's go." " What the hell...?" " What is it?" " There can't be any ..." " It doesn't matter now." "I want bottom depths, currents, water temperature ..." "Exactly." "Have you got an answer from them?" "They haven't come up with anything yet." "Immigration is notoriously slow." "it's not an asylum case, it's a murder." "Is Oljelund ready yet?" "Soon. ....." "Alice, we can only disclose a description, the location and the time." "they've found a corpse in Vansö." "An elderly man, murdered they think." " Where is Vansö?" " Outside Värmdö." "The Bridge?" "Close the bridge and send out dog patrols." "Gunvald you take Oljelund." "Alice can come with me to Vansö." "The dynamic duo." " How many are there?" " Apart from the neighbour's car, there are two other sets of tyre tracks." "It's terrible." "He was going to sort out the tractor." "The poor thing." "He wouldn't hurt a fly." " Know him well?" " I don't think anyone did." "We were probably the ones who had most contact with him, those of us on the island." "He was good with engines." "He was a trained mechanic." " Where did he work?" " He took early retirement." "He had a work injury." "But he was always willing when we needed help." " Any signs of forced entry?" " No." " Victim found on his back..." " What can you tell me?" "The murder almost certainly happened here." "Approx. 12 hours ago." "Two stabs wounds." "One in the back, one in the abdominal cavity." " Any weapons found?" " No." "Scratch marks and cuts in several places." "It must have been a violent struggle." "It would seem so." "And I"ve been persuading the wife to move to the country." " Was he well liked?" " Yes." "There was no evil in him." " But he had no friends." " Enemies?" "No, none to the best of my knowledge." "But he didn't see many people." " How long has he lived here?" " it's his childhood home." "He moved back 10 years ago after his parents died." "And did he always live alone?" "No women?" "Folks said he was in love with Inga Lundblad, and that he moved away..." " Because she married John." "But people say a lot of things." " And have you seen any other people out here?" " No." "It wasn't a place you ever came to." "I've never been inside the house before." "haven't you?" "Not even if you were in the neighbourhood?" "Well, just the once." "I helped him with a new oven but that's the only time." " Thank you." "We'll be in touch if we need to know more." " Please do." "We're usually home." "A woman who lives nearby says there have been 4 or 5 burglaries recently." "I've asked for the reports." " Good." "She said something else?" " She met Johannesson at the bakery." " It was the last time she saw him." " We'll go there." "I checked." "No relatives." "He had a blue Volvo, FPA 017" "Follow it up." "How are you?" " Are you on your own?" " How are you?" " Are you busy?" " Yes." "So you can put on the rubber gloves get a scalpel and open up the belly." " How did she die?" " Heavy blow to the head." "Clear fracture of the cranium." "Abrasions and fibres under the nails suggest some resistance." "Between 20 and 25 years old but difficult to say exactly." "She has been in the water for 10 to 14 days." "Rupture of the anus and traces of sperm." " Traces there?" " As well." " No trace of alcohol or drugs." " Do you think she was a prostitute?" "I not the coroner." "Guessing is your department." " Did you see the tattoo?" " See you." " He could be back on the island?" " The murderer?" "The leader of the dogs." "I saw them at Northern Rock." "And Nilsson took his gun out." "Poor Johannesson." "A kinder man didn't exist." " I thought he was always cross." " He was special like his father." "Do you remember when I looked into the Athletic Association after the fraud?" "I'm from the police and I've got some questions." "Who's the owner?" "That's me." "Bengt Jansson." "It's probably about Johannesson?" "Would you excuse us?" " I live here too, on the island." " Then we'll probably need to talk to you later." "Johan..." "You need to excuse me, but people are a little upset." "Do you want a muffin." "Was Johannesson here yesterday afternoon?" "He generally looks in at closing time." "Has a small cup of coffee." " Was he alone?" " Yes, he's... was always alone." "How long was he here for?" "He bought his Vansöhjerte and got a cup of coffee as he usually does." " Vansöhjerte?" " Cake hearts with vanilla cream." "He used to buy two, but yesterday he only had one." "He had to think about his weight, he said." " And now he's dead." "Strange." " What?" "How life shapes itself." "He worries about his weight and then he dies." " Do you want a heart?" " No thanks." "So he drank one coffee and then he left again?" " He went out to the car." " What Car?" "As it drove in there was something wrong with it." "The engine coughed, jumped and spluttered." "And Johannesson knew something about engines." " What kind of car was it?" " A red one." "a Mazda..." " You didn't see the number?" " Not that I can remember." " Was it a local car, from the island?" " No, No." "Are you sure you won't have a heart?" "Yes, I will, thanks." " Where is Sunesson?" " He's on parental leave." " Sunesson?" "No, he's retired." "My name's Sven." "Can I help you?" "Larsson." "I want to check if she's in the Register." " Prostitute?" " Possibly." " Thai." " Do you think so?" "She could also be from Cambodia or Burma." "She had this on her shoulder." "Thai. it's pretty common in one of the northern provinces." " The bird is a symbol of the area." " And do you know that for sure?" " You can bank on it." " Good." "Alice!" "I need Martin." "Can you get him?" "OK." " No one is allowed in here." " My name is Johan." "I want to talk to a cop." " You can talk to me." " I'll only talk to a cop." "I'm a Detective Inspector." "Will that do?" "Sorry..." "I'm a little shocked." " First the break-ins and now this." " Have you had a burglary?" "We were only away for two days and those buggers got in." "I haven't been here since I was little." "You don't come over here when you live on the west side." " Was there anything in particular?" " Yes..." "This morning we sat up, the wife and me." "We heard a red car revving fast." "The speed limit's 30 round here." "The locals respect that." " Did you make a note of it?" " The wife thinks it was a Mazda." "She's probably right." "I'm not so good with cars." " Did you make a note of the registration?" " What?" "No...." " Where was it coming from?" " Here, the south." "Towards the bridge." "Did you only see the one car?" "So did you see Johannesson's car in the evening ... or the morning?" "Can you give me your name and telephone number in case we need to contact you?" " We'll soon be done here." " Good." " Murder?" " We don't know, sir." "Remember me now." "I'll certainly want my stuff back when you find the killer." "He had a burglary." " Is this all you have?" " All we know about." " But she could well be on a newly created file." " We should hear about it then." "Tell me if you need any more help." "You know where to find them." "They're not on the street anymore." "the "New prostitution" has arrived." "Now it's brothels and gay clubs." "And contact ads." "Mostly controlled by pimps." "I can make a list of little private massage parlours and the like." " What have you got?" " Vanilla Hearts." "Want a taste?" " No, I'm not letting you bribe me." " Try one." " Did you find anything?" " Maybe." "According to the baker Johannesson helped someone in a red Mazda with engine problems." " It wasn't..." " A red Mazda?" " What is it?" " Johan Lundblad was..." "Lundblad?" "His wife and Johannesson..." "Maria, the neighbour said Johannesson had been in love with an Inga..." " Who married a Johan Lundblad instead, and that's why he moved away." "It has to be that Inga." " It must have been over 40 years ago." " What about the red car?" "He and his wife were up at seven o'clock and saw a red Mazda drive by." " Going where?" " South, towards the bridge." "Check whether a red Mazda has been reported stolen recently." "And check all recent burglaries." "What do you think?" "Agravated burgalry?" " Or someone who wants us to think that." " A local?" "The door wasn't forced." "So he needed to have opened it for the offender." "He would hardly have done that for a stranger in the middle of the night?" "If he ever locked it." "I don't understand where his car is." "No, that's strange." " A Thai Dutchman?" " The embassy wasn't exactly thrilled." "She probably entered illegally, so now it's become one hell of a job." "We need to sift through restaurants brothels, shops, just about everywhere." "Old-fashioned investigative work." "Have you got something against it?" "Alice, come with me." "it's beginning to escalate." " Yes, Skjærgårds and Beck Holm both at the same time." " Can you call more people in?" " You know how it is." " Yes." "Five men are out on in-service training." " Do you want a vanilla heart?" " No thanks." "So what would you do then?" "I don't know. it's not me that's sending people out on courses." "I was wondering exactly how you would..." "Maybe we should ask Nissen on Manpower for help." "Wait outside for a moment?" "Are you trying to be funny?" " No." "I don't expect to get sarcastic answer from you." "Especially not in front of subordinates." "I don't know what the relationship with your previous boss was like, but..." "Your tone doesn't work with us two." "Is that understood?" "Do you think the dept. can handle two cases with current staffing levels?" " Yes, I think so." " Good." "Gunvald!" " How are you getting on?" " With the murder?" "No, with Gunvald." " What do you want me to say..." "It progresses." " Well?" "We try to..." "Given that we are understaffed at the moment." "I intend to run both Cases in parallel within the team." "So you take the woman found at Beck Holmen Alice will take Vansömordet and I..." " Should she be leading an investigation?" " Yes, I think so." "Do you have a problem with that?" " No." "Why would I?" " Yes, why would you?" " Where are you going?" " To follow up leads on the dead hooker." "Start with the technical department report." "Joseph will have got it by now." " She's challenging him." " But it doesn't exactly make it any easier." "But it does support my theory." "Can I have a cake?" " Theory about what?" " On how we maintain a cohesive team." "If they can't cooperate, they can't work together as partners." "It just doesn't work." "Yes, but it's a shame." "Alice has great potential." "Who said it's her that has to go?" "Gunvald has been here for 15 years." " Maybe a couple of years too long." " Do you mean that, .... seriously?" "I certainly do." "Handling Gunvald takes up too much of our resources." "Especially yours." "It might be good for everyone if he moved on for a while." "In that case, I think you are making a very big mistake." "Thanks for the cake." "Martin, I've got the path. report." " Anything of any use?" " A lot." "They found blood traces on the tree in Johannesson's outhouse." " Hans?" " it's being analysed now with express priority." "It could be chicken blood." " Fingerprints?" " Only his own." " Anything new on his car?" " No." "But Immigration rang." "They couldn't identify the woman." " Shit!" " There's nothing." " I've given Vansö to Alice." " I'd have done that." "The girl has grit." "there's a little of Gunvald in her." " But not that much of her in him." " You don't say." " Oberg's after him." " Seriously?" " Yes." " Hillman." " Martin." " Thank you." " For what?" " For the case." " I didn't do it for your sake." "Gunvald isn't the only one who provokes things." "Gunvald Larsson." "Do you know this girl?" "Look closely at the picture." "It would be very helpful if you could identify her." "I want to know if you recognise this girl." " No, unfortunately." " Keep it and ask your customers." "Call me if anyone recognises her." "Robban who's got the keys to the house on Vansö?" " Police." "Hands up." " You scared the life out of me?" " What are you doing here?" " Relax." "I saw that the light was turned on..." " it's a closed crime scene." " I went for a walk..." "You said you never came over here." "I went for a long walk with the dog and then..." "Where's the dog?" "There, ... below ...." "... down by the lake." "Go away now." " Hello, Hillman." " How are you?" "I've got no identification , no murder weapon, no time or motive." "Otherwise I'm good." "How's the chick?" "A Car case after a month." "She might be there." " I get a bit tired from time to time." " You could be burned out?" " How did it go out there?" " Fine... there's something about the house." " Is it your first investigation?" " Yes, as the lead detective." " Can you tell?" " No." "But don't let it wear you out." "There's life outside of here, too." "Absolutely." "And to conclude, a small calavados after dinner, perhaps?" " Sure." " Then I want one too." " You want a calvados now?" " Yes." "I've got something to celebrate." " What?" " I've got a job." "That's great." " So now you're no longer unemployed?" " No, I'm not." " What kind of job is it?" " I'm on the street." " For goodness sake ..." " A job is a job." " it's always the same with you." " You never think much of anything I say." " Such as ...?" " That I've got a job." " But what job?" "As a warden." " You're a meter maid?" " A parking enforcement officer." "Is it embarrassing for you?" "What?" " That your daughter is a lowly traffic warden?" " A parking enforcement officer." " It looks like you're embarrassed." " No, not at all." "A job is a job." "Mats, we can have two calvados, please?" "don't tell Martin I said so." " He was very young once, too." " I promise." " Was that when you met?" " Yes." "I was a little bit older, more experienced and so I became a sort of mentor for him." "We were together in the same section for about six years." "That was before I went to Gothenburg." "And when I got tired of it there he invited me to come back here." " Why?" " Because we've share a common past." "When you get older your circle of aquaintances starts to grow .... smaller." "We need to look after one another." "We should definitely look out for each other." " So it wasn't because you're good, then?" " Oh yes." "You know how many robberies were committed..." " At post offices and banks in Nederland in 1969?" "48" "Do you know how many cases of abuse to women..." " Were filed in Sweden last year?" "19,200." "Some people say that's good." "It's good to see you smile." " don't let him ruin your mood." " Gunvald?" " He can't." " Good." "Cheers." "Good morning." " Didn't you sleep well?" " Too little." "And I drank too much last night." "that sounds nice." "How come?" " We wanted to be alone." " Who's the "we"?" "We've got a stolen Mazda ...." "Red ...." "Taken in Gustavsberg three weeks ago." " Has it been recovered?" " What do you think?" "Gustavsberg is just a few kilometers from Vansö." "Joseph, put a bulletin out and a reminder that it's in connection with the murder." " You went out yesterday." " Yes." "Joseph and me." " He was with you?" "Why?" " He probably wanted a beer." " A beer?" " Yes." "It was after working hours." "I was asking about the Johannesson farm." " I went out there by myself." " Did you find anything?" " Not really, but..." " What?" "The kitchen shelves are completely clean." "Everything is dried off." "Usually older, single men don't keep things so clean?" " What about you?" " Me?" " Thank you." "Young, single men, yes." " Sorry." " But then Lundblad turned up out of the blue." " In the yard?" "He claimed he was walking his dog, but there wasn't any dog." " Found anything?" " She didn't work at the usual places." "But Sven has a list of these mysterious 'massage institutes'." " Who's Sven?" " He's Gunvald's contact in the council offices." " She might have worked in one of those." " Maybe she wasn't a prostitute." " It's only Gunvald's theory." " He tends to be right." "What's he doing anyway?" " How many pages are there?" " Lots." " We'll concentrate on the Asian sites." " What a business." " Offering themselves as sexual objects to complete strangers." " As Marriage Partners, it says." "It's very profitable." "Otherwise it wouldn't exist." " Profitable for whom?" " Those who do the selling." "Not so much for those that get sold." "For the buyers, it's around a grand for an African, twice as much for an Eastern European." "And once they get tired of them, the girls end up working the street." "They cope as best they can." "Lots of them get smoked on the road." " How many come here?" "Illegally?" " Per year?" "There are no precise figures but it's several hundred." " How many are from Asia?" " I don't know exactly." "A lot." " So you've got plenty to be getting on with?" " Yes, thanks." " Gunvald who's Sven?" " A guy in the council monitoring dept." "If you've brought him into the case, shouldn't you have informed me?" "I'll take responsibility for him." "Like you do with Levande." "Dessuten, he's really good." "The police are searching for a red Mazda registration number CFP 667th" " The car is sought in connection with ..." " Anything else?" "Two packs of Camel Lights." "we're doing a good deal on antifreeze." "It's as well to be prepared..." "Not today, thanks." "188 krone, please." "cheerio." " Hello." "I'll take one of these." " it's the wisest thing." " Better to be prepared for the frost than surprised by it." " Yes." "And the petrol." "Which pump?" " Where's my car?" " it's over there." "By pump three." "That's not my car." " What color jacket did she have on?" " I think it was dark." " Would you recognize them again?" " I think so." "Certainly her." " That's her." "This is the dead girl." " Dao Anchalee." "How did you find these pages?" "I assumed that she'd been removed from the current directory." "She'd been delivered, you might say." "So I contacted a colleague, and he had a five year old record." "And there she is." "You should be a copper." " There she is, that's her." " Are you sure?" " Absolutely we've identified the girl from the petrol station." "Tanja Veinonen." " She's been inside for robbery before." " Where does she live?" " Slingvägen 14 in Huddinge." " Let's bring her in." "He found her." "it's her." "Dao Anchalee." " Sven found her on the Internet." " Contact the family through the embassy." "I need to go." "We've located a suspect for the murder of Vansö." " Stop it now." " But I want it." " they're in pieces." "We'll get nothing for them." " Yes we wll." "Where's the video?" "it's the police." "Stand still." " we've arrested them." " You think it's them?" "It was them in the Mazda." "The rest we'll have to pull out of them with tweezers." " Who's "we"?" " Alice will interrogate them." " How you doing with you case?" " Are you interested in it now?" " Of course." "Why are you asking me that?" " we haven't found her family." " She wasn't married in this country." " Did you expect that she was?" "It was certainly a possibility, since we found her through a matrimonial agency." "I've asked Thai Air to check their Passenger lists as far back as they can;" "Interpol to examine its records..." "Martin." "Oberg wants to talk to you." "We've managed to identify the Thai victim." "And that's all we've got?" "That's good." "Sooner or later someone will come forward who's seen her." "No one can live indefinitely under the radar." "And what've we got on the young hoodlums?" "Firstly, we can connect them to the car." "Then the break-ins at Vansö, and through that to Johannesson's house and the break-in there." " And the murder?" " If we can place them at the scene, that should follow." "that's my experience." "Is it going well with Alice?" " Ah, yes." " And with Gunvald?" " he's self-reliant." "Tread patterns match." "Same pattern of wear and the same imprint." " And they found this, the spare tire." " A silver spoon?" " With Johannesson's fingerprints." " Good." "Anything else?" "A hair from the chair, they've done a DNA analysis." " What do you think?" " She's okay, but she's not Gunvald." "She's nicer." "Can you check the DNA records against Tanja's?" " Where's it from?" " A hair found in the car." " Did they get hold of you?" " Who?" "The SOCO boys in the apartment." "They found some stolen goods." " From Vansö?" " Yes, including a camera." " Look!" "It's the same DNA." " Bingo." "Where's Martin?" " There." " Are you doing the interrogations?" "Yes, I just want to update you." "We can connect them to the petrol station;" " To the car through one of Tanja's hairs;" "to a burglary at Vansö through a camera;" " To the farm via wheel tracks left there and Johannesson through a silver spoon in the car." "Good." "Joseph, call a prosecutor." "You've never been in the red Mazda?" " No." "And you were never at the petrol station where it was found?" " No." "You've been positively identified by an eye witness." "Is it against the law now to go in a petrol station then?" " No." "Why were you there?" " We just were." "How did it go with Thai Air?" "She landed in Frankfurt in December last year." "And then disappeared without trace." "So she can hardly have been here more than a few months." "No." "So what did she do?" "And where the hell has she been since December?" " Maybe ......." " Martin, they've found Johannesson's Volvo." " In the town." " How long has it been there?" "Since the day after the murder." "And the blood in the woodshed wasn't Johannesson's." " Chicken Blood?" " No." "Human blood." "You've got a camera at home." "Is it yours?" " Yes." " When did you buy it?" " Last year." " Have you been to Vansö recently?" " Where's that?" " Just outside Varmdo." "Have you been there?" " No." " Where were you on Sunday night?" " In Södertälje." " And what were you doing there?" " That's nothing to do with you." " Nothing special." " Is there anyone who can confirm that you were there?" "Jacob." "She denies everything." "But I got what I needed." " Now I'll tackle Jacob." " Can I listen in?" "You and Tanja stole the Mazda in Gustavsberg three weeks ago?" "We don't steal cars." "it was found at a petrol station earlier today." "In the car we found some of Tanja's hair." "How do you explain that?" "I don't know..." " Well, we got a lift." " You got a lift?" "In some red car." "I didn't know it was stolen." "You got a lift to the petrol station?" " Yes." "Tanja says that you never went there." "Never went there, never got a lift?" "We got a lift." "On Friday a burglary was committed at Vansö." "A Pentax 105 camera was taken ..." " It was found in Tanja's apartment earlier today." "How did it end up there?" "Oh yes..." "Now I remember." "We bought it from the man who gave us the lift." "Now I remember." "Tanja says she bought it last year." "Maybe it's the same brand?" " Where were you on Sunday night?" " In town." " Stockholm?" "Can anyone confirm this?" " Tanja." " She said that you were both in Södertälje." " We probably were there, then." "Can't you tell the difference between Stockholm and Södertälje?" "I'm showing the suspect a photo of Erik Johannesson." " Do you recognise this man?" " No." "He helped you with the car in Vansö on Sunday." "I was in Södertälje, damn it." "Ask Tanja." " What did you see in his yard?" " I've never been there." " Did you know that he lived alone?" " I don't know who you mean." " Erik Johannesson, the owner of the farm." " We weren't there." "What was in the car?" " What car?" "The car at the farm." "There wasn't any car there!" "Wasn't there?" " Oberg..." " You can call me Margaret." " Do you have a minute?" " What is it?" "Can we talk in your office?" " Where did you meet him?" " Outside the fucking bakery." "The car's engine was shot, and he helped us fix it." " What happened?" " He mended the car, and then we drove off." "Home with him?" "We drove around a bit, we argued about where to go next." "I said we were done on the island." "Then we saw where he lived." " So you went in after him?" " We just saw where he lived." "It was very desolate." "We decided to sleep in the car and break-in if he drove off in the morning." "Did he do that?" "When we woke up the car was gone, and so we thought it was perfect." " We went in and took what we wanted." " How did you get in?" " The door was open." " Didn't that seem a bit strange?" " When did he come back?" " He never came back." "How do you explain that we found him dead after you'd emptied his house?" "He was already dead." "When?" "When we went in." "Can you elaborate on that?" "We saw him just before we left." "We'd got all the stuff and we were going out the back door." "When we opened it we saw him lying there." "We were shit scared so we ran away." "We knew we had a problem, so we threw all the shit away." "His property?" "Yes!" "One thing is crystal clear:" "they hadn't planned to kill him." "They didn't exactly hide the stuff." "That suggests they were desperate." "And they wouldn't have gone in if the car had still been there." "Maybe he surprised them." "So they had to kill him." " The door wasn't forced though." " He'd forgotten to lock it." " Or maybe they're telling the truth." " That he was already dead when they arrived?" " Yes." " Is Oberg here?" " Yes." "Gunvald is in there with her." " Should we review the interrogation?" " Give me a minute." "You make a start, I'll join you in a bit." "Will you send me the interview transcripts over when they've been written up?" " Of course." " You can praise Alice from me." "She's good." " Sure." "What about Gunvald?" "I heard that he was here." "He came in to brief me on the investigation." " Brief you?" " Yes." "Why?" "I sensed that he wasn't finding you to be very responsive." "Is that true?" " I apologise." " You don't need to." " Why not?" " You've probably got other stuff to think about." "You're the boss." "You have to be responsible for prioritisation." "I do my job." "If you don't have time for me, that's your problem." " It's very clear to me." " Yes." "It always is." " Alice, on the other hand ....." " Want to order?" "I'm sorry that I've not given enough time to your investigation." " It won't happen again." " Good." "But once these cases are solved Oberg and I will have address the problem." " What problem?" " You and Alice." "That's good." "The two of you need something to deal with." "How long have we worked together?" "For a long time." "It doesn't always feel like it, if you ask me." "I think a lot of you." "I always have done." "But before long I'll be the only one that does." "And ultimately, it's not me that's in charge." " So Oberg wants rid of me?" " No." "Not yet she doesn't." "But if you force her to choose it's hardly going to work to your benefit." "How's it going with Inga?" "Inga?" "It going well." "It's hard being a single mother, but she's doing OK." " What's she doing these days?" " A bit of this, a bit of that." " Anything special?" " No, it's a little bit of everything." "Traffic warden?" "Traffic warden?" "Yes..." "Parking enforcement officer." " I'd never have thought that would suit her." " It's just a beginning." "Dad!" "Hello, Gunvald." " You can't be traffic warden." " Parking enforcement officer." "Why not?" " Because it's not you." " Yesterday I was the best in the department." " It was lovely." " What the hell is that?" "Did you write this out?" "Tear it into pieces." "This is my car." "And parking here is not prohibited." "Yes it is, between 8:00 and 13:00." "You parked here at 12.55." " You're taking the piss." " Why?" "it's my job." "Damn it, Martin..." "I've no time for this." "You see to it." " That was unnecessary." " Why?" "We need a society governed by laws that are applicable to all, don't we?" "Hello." "I'm looking for Gunvald Larsson." "Is he here?" "He could be here anytime." "Have a cup of coffee while you're waiting." "Alice?" "Hello." " Hello." "How are you?" " Good." " What is Alice Levande doing here?" " Do you know her?" "We've met a few times." "I didn't know she was in Stockholm now." "She's been here a few months now." "She's running her own investigation." " How does she get away with it?" " Yes, makes you wonder." "Her being a woman." "Sort this ticket out." "Where's Alice?" "She's looking for you." "We've found the stuff from the burglary ....." "You want me to pay the fine?" "Alice..." "The stolen stuff." "It's from Johannesson's?" "His wallet with his credit card and driver's licence. it's from the house." "So they're linked to the theft." "Good." "Now we're just left with the murder." "There was a tape in the video." " What is it?" " Some kind of porn movie." "They could have rented it?" "It was in Johannesson's stolen video player." "Typical amateur work." " And who are you?" " Sorry." "Sven Adolfsson." "He's from City Division." "He traced Dao for us." " If you need any more help, I can..." " No thanks." "Just call." "Alice, can we continue?" "Stop." "Rewind a bit." "She looks like..." " Dao." " Dao Anchalee?" "Yes." "Go on." "Pause the image." "That's it." "The tattoo." "She had the same one on the right shoulder." "How many Asian girls are there in Sweden with that tattoo?" "it's her." "Dao." "What the hell is she doing in a porn video with Johannesson?" " Why have come in here?" " The fan. it's in the video." " Are you sure?" " Yes." "Here's the camera." "But no tapes." "Look here." "I think the man in the video is Johannesson himself, with Dao." "it's possible." "maybe he picked up prostitutes brought them out here and filmed them." "With himself in the lead role." "But isn't it a bit strange that both the people in the video are now dead?" "Murdered." "Yes." " Do you think it's the same murderer?" " Possibly." " But they're two completely different murders." " Maybe it's..." " Blood." " Blood?" "Yes, blood." "Joseph, it's Beck." "We're in Vansö and we need to check some forensic data mighty fast." "Compare the blood from Johannesson's firewood shed with the Thai victim's." "See if there's a match." "Johannesson's, yes and compare his DNA with the sample taken from under the girl's nails." "Good." "It says something in Thai." "What does it mean?" "Let me see." "Madi." "It's a bit like "mountain flower"." "It's a girl name." "Have either of you seen an Asian woman at the Johannesson farm?" " Never." " Asian?" "Did Johannesson go on holiday around Christmas or New Year?" "No." "Yes, think back." "We looked after all his chickens." "That was around Christmas time." "He was away then when Dao Anchalee arrived in Frankfurt." "He could have brought her here illegally." "And kept her hidden in the cellar for months?" "It's quite incredible." "Oh no." "Ordinary seeming Swedes keeping Asians as sex slaves, we've seen that before." " But why do they do it?" " They're lonely, marginalised." " They live in areas where they can suit themselves." " Or they can't come to terms with female equality." " They don't like powerful women." " So they buy a sex slave?" "A man can get confused by them." "Everything has a downside." "So the sex trade is feminism's fault?" "That isn't what I said." "Are you a feminist?" " Sure." "What are you?" " I'm omnivorous." "Hello." "Gunvald Larsson." "Hi, it was Dao Anchalee in the porn video." "Probably with a man who was also murdered..." " Do you know this Sven?" " Superficially." " He seems to know plenty about ......." " I don't want to talk about him." "Hello, you've called Alice." "I'm not at home." "Leave a message." "It's Alice." " Good morning." " we've got the answers." "The blood in the woodshed is Dao Anchalee's." "And it was Johannesson's skin under her nails." "So he killed her out there?" "And threw her into the water out by Beck Holm." "In that case, one of the murders is solved?" "And then he was beaten to death himself over a television and a spoon." "They murdered a murderer." "A hygienic measure." " we've found no murder weapon." " they've threw it in the water." "It'll all come out once we've broken them." "Or should I...?" "No, it's probably not necessary." "Hello!" "Is it true what they've written about Johannesson?" "Yes, unfortunately." "it's terrible." " we've a few questions." "Do you have time?" " Will you have a cup of coffee?" "You told me that Johannesson had begun to buy 2 hearts at a time." " When did that start?" " It was, I suppose..." " I don't remember too well." " Could it have been around Christmas time?" "it's possible." "Why are you interested in that?" "Why do you think he started to buy them?" "He was well known for being a bit dotty." "He always bought two at a time?" "But then suddenly, he only bought the one?" " When was that?" " It was maybe about a couple weeks ago." "He'd have started putting on weight if he'd carried on eating two cakes at a time ....." "Johannesson never ate any vanilla hearts." "He had diabetes." "Forensics found prescriptions for insulin and tablets." "And yet he regularly bought two vanilla hearts from July onwards." "Around the time that Dao Anchalee could have arrived." "And then a couple of weeks ago he started to buy just one." "Who was that one for?" "If he had diabetes?" " Madi?" " Mountain Flower." "He had to have another girl out there?" "Call Sven and ask him to print out every photo in his records ......" " And look for a girl called Madi." "I'll ask Gunvald to ring him." "Martin, he's found her." "it's the same girl." "Madi Thavisak." "Good." "Circulate her name and photo." " Where are you going?" " Checking something." "Are you coming, Sven?" "Gunvald, has this got something to do with the case?" " If so you can take Alice with you." " Why?" "Because I'm leading the investigation for now, and I decide who does what." "Can the lady spare us a minute?" " I won't get in the same car as him." "Thanks for the pictures." "We'll get in touch if we need any more help." "And Martin says I'm the one with problems." "What have you got against Sven?" " he's a pig." " Him too?" "That pig has contributed to our investigation." "He's a very competent man." " And a pig." " You've got a phobia about men, dammit." " You can thank your friend Sven for that." " What's he done?" "Flirting?" "I wouldn't call it that." "Sexual harrasment." "He put his hand on your arse and you ran to the boss and got him fired?" " What do you mean, "fired"?" " don't play the innocent." "Don't you think I know that you and Oberg have been talking about me?" "Do you think I don't know that I'm also at risk, thanks to you?" "I haven't." "You can believe what you want, but I've never talked to Oberg about you." "If anyone says I have, it's a lie." "And it hasn't got anything to do with Sven." "What is it about, then?" "Tell me what it is." "We met in Östersund." "I was doing my practical training." "I was the only girl at the station." "I was inexperienced, young, uncertain." "You, insecure?" "First it was mostly sexual innuendo." "He put dildos in my desk drawer and things like that." "It was probably just teasing." "Then he carried it over into the night." "He phoned me up at home and did a heavy breathing routine." "It was definitely Sven doing it?" " Yes." "Finally he pushed me up against the wall in the garage and tried to take my clothes off." " And what happened?" " Someone was coming so he had to stop." " Did you report him?" " No." "I couldn't risk it." "He was incredibly popular in the station and generally regarded as a good man." "A "very competent man"." "wasn't that what you said?" "I asked for a transfer, and never saw him again until he showed up here." " And now he's started ringing again." " Sven?" "He rang last night when I got home." " Has she been here?" " I don't trust the police." " It may have happened." " It's true." " And it could be much worse if someone else finds her before we do." "Her friend is already dead." "Is it her?" " Yes." "Where is she?" "I've got a number for her if we needed help here." " Which hotel is it?" " The Astor." "Martin will meet us there." " Can you speak the Thai language?" " Amongst others." "You have visitors, Miss Madi." "it's the police." "Good day." "My name is Martin Beck." "I'm from the police." "This is Alice." "This is Gunvald." "Are you called Madi Thavisak?" "Do you recognise this girl?" "Her name is Dao." "We know what you've been through Madi." "We're here to help you." "You can trust us." " I'm afraid." " We understand that." "But you don't have to be afraid anymore." "it's over." "You can trust us." "But we do need your help." "Can you please look at this picture." "Do you recognise this man?" " He killed Dao." " Yes, we know that." " Why did he kill Dao?" " She tried to run." "He see her and run and take her." "And killed her in the woodshed?" "How did Dao and you get to Sweden?" "He take us in car in Frankfurt." "And drive us here." "We thought we be married to Swedish men." "And then he locked you up?" "I try and make him sleep." "He had sleeping pills." "But he wake up." "What happened?" "I kill him." "You killed him?" "Is this Johannesson?" "Yes." " And Dao?" " Yes." "Are you sure?" " I hold camera." " You held the camera?" "He make me or Dao hold camera " " And film each other." "What a pig." "it's enough." "Please, come with me." "Sven..." "You frightened me." "I heard you found her." "Congratulations." "We should celebrate." "Shall we go for a beer?" "What is it?" "I read the reports this morning." "It's sad." "And tragic." "But you've done very impressive work, I have to say." "With the help of..." "What's his name?" "Sven Adolfsson." " We should probably thank him?" " I tried to get hold of him." "But it seems he requested immediate transfer, and moved this morning." "Why?" "I don't know." "Maybe he was homesick." "Are we finished?" "Unfortunately, we still have one problem." "Martin and I have been considering it for a while." " But now the time has come to sort it out." " You want me to transfer to another department?" "You and I had a conversation before Alice started, and I gave you a clear message." "I gave you the chance to be constructive." "But it isn't your way." "Something I regret." "Martin and I agree that the dept. can't function if two members of staff can't cooperate." "Who do you mean?" "It's aimed at you and Gunvald Larsson." "I think Gunvald and I cooperate extremely well." "When was this cooperation?" "As recently as yesterday you were both overheard, shouting at each other in the garage." "We had an exchange of views, but that is a part of the work." "We argued it out until we could agree what to do." "Didn't we?" "I think ..... probably, we did ..." "What does that mean?" "It means probably that ......." "Do you also think everything's okay between you?" "Yes..." "I think..." "I mean..." "All right." "Did you know anything about this?" "Yes..." "Fleetingly." "In fact, we have a table waiting for us at the Grands Veranda." "You booked it for 12:30, right?" "11:45." "It can get a little busy by 12.30, so I booked it for a little earlier." "So we'd better hurry up." "Are you coming?" "Times change." "Don't you ever sleep?" "No, not at night." "That's for amateurs." "All this sleep stuff is greatly exaggerated." "Eight hours a day?" "If you get 75 years then for 25 of them you've been snoring your time away." "What kind of life is that?" "No, down a wee one instead when the eyes get a bit heavy." "So you're ready for one again." " What do you think about cloning?" " Cloning?" "it's very interesting." "Two of you and three of me." "They only need one cell and they can create a new individual." "An exact copy." "Then I could stand here and talk to myself." "From your balcony." ""Hey, hows about a wee one now?" "Yes, thanks." "How are you?"" " it's very interesting." " Yes, very." "No one lives too long, as mum always said." "How old was she?" "She drew the stick out in '92 and she was born in '16." "So you can figure it out." " She was 76 when she died." " No, she didn't die, you know." "She exchanged this world for the next." "That's how I look at it." " Are you religious?" " No, not any more." "Just a little curious, maybe." "God is for me what trawlers are for seagulls." "What do you think?" "We follow our course for such a short breathing space." "And then there's no clear road to follow." "You want something with the wee one, a butter marinade wafer maybe?"
