"THE MOON GOD" "Directed by Jonas Cornell" "How many this time?" "Four." "Two adults and two children." "One of the adults sits over there." "Sits?" "Who is he?" "John Vinge." "Do you think he'll catch the murderer?" "Only if he gets as he wishes..." "Did he die here?" "No." "The killer slaughtered all four in the tent." "Then he pulled this guy here." "I talked to your father." "I visited him at the hospital." "Why is he in a tent?" "It's an oxygen tent." "He requested it himself." "He saw it in an American medical journal" "Klimkowski." "No idea." "What do you want?" "Herman and I have come to an agreement." "We want you to bring in Erland in the investigation." "I don't know if I like it." "You need somebody with his competence." "You've got one month to get him." "PERSPECTIVES ON NEUROPHYSIOLOGY Six lectures by Prof. Erland Salander" "The reptilian complex and the limbic system are primitive animal brains which have always stood in conflict with the cerebral cortex, the human brain." "In MacLean's opinion this duality makes the human being a dangerous and unbalanced species which is split in its intellectual life due to a bad in biological construction." "Do you agree with MacLean, Professor?" "Well, MacLean is pretty alone in his theory." "On the other hand the human psyche is far from uniform." "Rather the opposite." "It is constantly threatened by disintegration under pressure from uncontrollable experiences." "Thus one cannot completely ignore MacLean's somewhat bizarre observations." "Let's stop for today." "Yet another family of four was murdered last night ." "Now eight are dead." "This job stinks." "It stinks Herman!" "Perhaps you should pay him a visit." "I bet it was some years since last?" "There is only one problem with your daddy." "He screams too much when he is shitting." "You don't want me to work with you, and since we seem to agree..." "The prosecutor decides this." "I don't want it." "And I have quit..." "Hi Tina, it's me!" "This is Tina." "I've left for Cairo." "I will be back home in a month." "Thanks for the phone call!" "What fucking phone call..." "What is that?" "A perfect imprint of a mask." "Where did you find it" "In the mud, 20 metres from the tent." "Is it his?" "Who else's would it be?" "It's an ugly bastard." "Erland won't help us." "I make a fool of myself." "What is this?" "It is an imprint in the mud." "We believe he used a mask." "You will not solve this without Erland." "You have to give him all material." "Do you get it?" "!" "Give...him...everything..." "The beans are not for taste's sake - they're against evil spirits." "Could he have imprinted the mask in the mud to mock with us?" "He doesn't mock with anybody." "Why does he do this?" "John, frankly, I don't understand what good this will serve." "Eight persons are dead." "You can help us." "I don't think so." "You caught Mandoki." "It's eight years ago, John." "And I spent two years after that." "I quit stuff like this." "You took three more people too." "Nobody else would have managed that." "Mandoki almost got Herman." "I know it." "But you don't know why." "It was because I left him alone when Mandoki came." "Nobody knew he was after you." "Wrong, I did." "DIPLOMA." "Erland Erick Salander has this day been promoted to Honorary Doctor in Medicine." "It's about eight people lives..." "God knows how many more will die before we can stop this madman." "I need to have you with me.." "Don't push the river." "I have an appointment with Dr. Nordenskiöld." "You look for Rebecka Nordenskiöld?" "She is busy with an exhibition." "I'll show you the way." "You look for Rebecka?" "She is busy with an exhibition." "I'll show you the way." "I am Dr. Andreas Gregor." "Please this way" "Why is the police looking for Rebecka?" "Who told you that?" "There are not that many who has a black 244." "Rebecka is reconstructing a unique African sacrifice site" "Darling..." "Hello!" "You've got vistors - the police." "Meet our star her at the museum." "We are very proud of her." "Andreas, stop it." " Let's go to my room." "It is the Moon God." "You can see it on the ring, which symbolizes the lunar disk." "Why does one wear such a mask?" "The face isn't just hidden for others, but also for the wearer." "Could the murderer know about that?" "Did he wear it when he...?" "We believe so." "Perhaps he protects himself against a part that he won't accept." "What would that be?" "I can't help you out there." "It seems to be a ritualistic murder." "In fact there is actually a document about the Moon God in the Royal Library." "The Venice document." "Really?" "When I was there I found nothing." "One has to be the right person." "Can I keep these pictures?" "If you don't show them to anybody else.." "Not to him either." "Dr. Gregor." "He's not a doctor." "He just pretends he is working on a thesis." "Why would I show them to him?" "I believed you were..." "We are nothing!" "The murderer is in progress." "The first time he is clumsy." "Not a good job." "The second time he works better with the knife." "He has learned." "And now something new happens." "He pulls one of the corpses into the woods and places it at a tree." "But why the man?" "Why not the woman?" "Or both?" "Or all four?" "Or the teenagers?" "Why ONLY the man...?" "So you joined the investigation?" "Herman called yesterday and "hissed" on the phone..." "I guess I have no choice?" "Typically him." "He still believes he's the boss of the homicide division." "I would like to see the last murder site." "We can go there right away." "No, it's too many people there now." "You know how I work." " I'll pick him up in 2 hours." "Don't interrupt him." "Are you kidding?" "Nobody goes up there volontarily." "What is he doing up there?" "Pretending he is the murderer." "What a hobby!" "He doesn't have the usual barriers." "Do you think he will get him?" "I don't know." "Somebody has passed the blocks." "Let's search the area." "Erland!" "I think he's been here." "He returned tonight." "Are you sure?" "There are imprints of shoes in the woods." "He has been standing there watching." " But the area is heavily guarded." "Certainly - but by who...?" "Problems?" "There are always problems." "Lennart!" "Replay this film again!" "Lennart, come here!" "Who has processed this film?" "It was found in Kenta's rack." "Where is Kenta now?" "I don't know." "He should be here." "If this is dirty job, then..." "Is there something wrong?" "Wrong?" "!" "Don't you read the newspapers?" "!" "Who submitted it?" "Please answer, Kenta!" "There was no name." "Only a note that said it will be picked up after a week." "We were supposed to put it in the box." "On the door?" "Do you still have the note?" "No." "There was something else, right?" "A 1000 crown bill." "So it is a dirty job?" "Our car is not rust-free." "When will the film be picked up?" "It has been a week today." "Where is master?" "He's coming." "He doesn't do overtime working." "You can't afford that one without dirty money..." "Do you think the murderer will come?" "He wants to see what he has done." "Or show us how talented he is." "No." "It is not logical." "Who said he is logical?" "You are mistaken there, John." "There is always a logic." "Like choosing the profession of one's father..." "I wanted to hear confessions..." "I like it when people open up and tell me about what they have done." "I imagine that the world becomes a bit better..." ""Bitterness and boredom, Life is nothing more"" ""And the world is mud"" "Leopardi." "Your parents, then?" "I grew up with my uncle." "What did he do for a living?" "He ended up in a mental institution..." "Erland says the murderer is trying to reproduce an underlying trauma" "Which trauma?" "If we knew that, the mystery would have been solved." "Why did you want me to come here?" "To watch the film." "In your home?" "Yes." "Now I've seen it." "Can't you say anything about it?" "You are supposed to be the expert." "I wonder why Andreas is so interested in the Moon God..." "He has gotten hold of your pictures." "And I believe he has the Venice document." "We'll have to find him then." "They ran out of money, so it was never repaired down her." " Andreas!" "Oh, the sheriff is along..." "It is said you have a document about the Moon God." "Yes, but I won't give it to you." "You better get it out." "You destroy my dissertation." "Can one destroy something that doesn't exist?" "How do you explain this?" "You have stolen it." "Am I in charge for something?" "You know we hunt a serial killer." "You possess drawings of the mask the murderer has." "Why?" "If I had it I wouldn't sit here!" "It's worth a fortune." "You see, here is my dissertation!" "It is about the Van Meer couple who ravaged in Africa in the 1930's." "They stole invaluable artifacts which they sold on the black market in Amsterdam and Rome." "How did you put that together?" "My thesis describes their last expedition." "They never returned." "I wanted to know why." "Then remains from the expedition was found in Venice." "A list was made of the artifacts." "That one!" "The so called "Venice document"." "Today nobody knows where the objects are." "Brilliant..." "He is seriously mentally disturbed." "He can't explain himself." "The evidences are sure overwhelming?" "No." "Detectives found the boots in a cubby-hole and they match the imprints exactly." "Nothing else?" "The mask, the murder weapon?" "No." "Tech. dep. is there now." "But a macabre discovery was made in the cellar." "Full of dead animal bodies - probably tortured to death." "I talked to the woman at the museum." "The one you met." "Dr. Nordenskiöld?" "I believe she can help us out here." "Could we meet in my room?" "Now it is completed." "As close to the original as you can get." "Do you live here?" "This is more than an office..." "Right?" "." "I have nowhere to live." "Don't you have an apartment?" "No." "You need a psychiatrist!" "Where is John?" "I can't carry him with me always." "Isn't he the investigator?" "They say so." "Good job!" "You know pretty much about those masks, don't you?" "It's my life." "He recognized it." "But you are not sure." "It could be him." "There is not a shadow of a doubt." "Do you see these cracks?" "It matches the ones on his boots." "He is bound to the murder site." "It doesn't mean it must be him though." "Erland is also unsure." "Don't listen too much to such people." "Let them play with their toys." "He catched several psychopaths when he worked with daddy." "I see." "Your dad hired Erland?" "No." "It was my decision." "You are under the wheel, boy." "(The radio):" "Is John Vinge there?" "I want you to let the forester go." "Technical dep. has secured imprints on both murder sites." "HIS shoe prints." "Erland says it might be him." "What the hell does he know?" "!" "He hasn't helped this investigation anywhere" "So you want to hold the forester?" "Stick to Erland's line." "I'll keep the forester during next full moon." "I'm sorry, John." "Klimkowski has closed the case." "No more investigations." "Is he the murderer?" "The technical department says so." "You know, he could have been on the murder site after the murderer." "It's soon full moon again." "I know you'll get him." "I know you..." "I know you can't resist it." "John is..." "Has always been an undelivered broiler." "He never became the success I had planned!" "Forget about him!" "It's the two of us now." "Like in the good old days!" "I could swear he was outside the oxygen tent last night..." "He murders dads!" "John, please come back later..." "He slaughters families." "But it's the dads it's really about." "He did it here." "Excuse us, we are busy..." "I'm the one who decides down here!" "I'm into something." "Let's talk later." "We will talk now!" "What the fuck have you actually accomplished?" "You're drunk, John." "Go home!" "You dreamed." "What is that?" "Film containers." "Come!" "A film archive." "What do you want?" "Don't think you can come here with that bullshit!" "You count twelve dead now, you incompetent idiot!" "Don't show yourself around here until you have made any progress with the investigation!" "You were right." "Klimkowski wasn't." "It would have been better if he was right." "Do you see him?" "We see him." "He's putting a packet in the box." "Let's get him." "Isn't people allowed to move freely in the city anymore?" "Carefully!" "It's not developed yet." "What is this?" "It's not possible..." "Who are the whites?" "The mask!" "It is the Moon God." "Who are they?" "Erick and Anna Van Meer..." "Their own pictures from the last expedition to Africa in 1935." "And the child?" "I didn't know they had children." "What happened in the end?" "What did the child see?" "Han sees his dead father..." "...and gets killed." "John Vinge." "It's Erland." "I want you to come to my home." "What is it about?" "It's about Rebecka Nordenskiöld." "If you can't explain, it will be difficult for me to act." "I can't explain what it is..." "She knows all too much about the murders." "She knows to much about the murderer..." "Do you suspect Rebecka?" "Klimkowski wants you and the detectives to pay her a visit." "Do you know where she lives?" "It is possible to find out." "She lives in the museum." "In the office." "Do you want to join?" "No." "Watch the film meanwhile." "Has she moved out?" "Wait here, guys." "Call Klimkowski." "Erland!" "Have a look at this one." "Erland." "Erick." "So it was his parents..." "Yes." "He was with them in Africa." "Then his uncle took care of him." "He never got to know who his real parents were." "The woman from the museum, Rebecka Nordenskiöld - where did she go?" "She has left." "English subtitles:" "Empty Cinema (c) Sveriges Television AB"
