Is there time for me to wash my car
before you ctose?
-No problem.
No snuff today?
I'm trying to quit. But it's hard
-Tell me about it.
Annika Runfelt.
What's up?
I see. Tell her
I'll be there in half an hour.
Hi, I'm at the gas station
The home called.
Mom's fallen out of bed again. She
didn't hurt herself but she's confused
I'm going to pop by there
after I’ve washed the car.
What? No, nothing
Call you later. Bye.
I read about it. You smell bit
-Gross!
But good.
I'll wheel in the carts
BURIED ALIVE
She woke up at 5:30 already,
so we're going to the park now
-I want to go on the swings.
Run atong. I'll be right there
I thought I'd let you sleep
No, she ran ahead to the swings
See you later. tove you
V
V
V
Yes
Sweetie, what are you doing there?
There was a big man on the swing.
Well, he's gone now, so go ahead
-I want to dig in the sandbox.
Okay
Mom Mom!
What is it, sweetie?
I can hear a sound
-What?
A sound?
Let me see
-What is it?
I don't know
GS
Okay
Pick me up
Martin
it's Runfelt.
Some b*stard finally got to her.
- Hi.
Have you examined her?
- Brieny.
-Cause of death?
She may have suffocated in there
In there?
Runfelt.
- I can see that.
What did the mother say?
She didn't see anything, but
her daughter says there was a big
The mother didn't see anything?
-No.
And the girl's only six
-Later.
Beck speaking. I want to see
Stina Alund in 15 minutes.
She'll just have to cancel. Tell her
to gather all Runfelt's biker cases.
Now!
Are you surprised? I'm shocked
-Me too, but I'm not surprised.
In the three years I've monitored
the gangs, everything's escalated
The violence between the gangs
their threats to the authorities-
the shootings, the bombing
Which cases was she working on?
The toughest one is Matte Larsson.
She put him behind bars
-For fraud.
But he's done far worse things
-Such as?
Drugs,instigation to m*rder
ill*gal import of banned substances
He's never been convicted of it?
-No.
I think Annika was ctose to nailing him
for much more than plain fraud.
-For which he is in prison.
He was released on Monday
Did you see her drive off?
-Yes.
I saw her leaving the car wash
at around 10, just as we closed up
Did you see her in the car?
-Well
I saw her drive into the car wash and
get in the car before the wash started
ow?
There
Does it record too?
We'd like the tape then
She was injected
See the needle mark?
With what?
- Ketalar.
Originally a veterinary sedative,
but its used on humans too now
- How does it work?
It puts you to sleep within minutes
When you wake up,
you're paralyzed, but conscious
This was the case with Runfelt.
-What makes you think that?
She had fragments of plastic
and tree fibres under her nails
The m*rder*r put her in the coffin
-She clawed.
She was desperate.
Two other nails are broken
He probably gave her a shot
just before he put her in the box
so she was out while he buried her.
And then she woke up.
-And?
She suffocated
The box was hermetically sealed
with plastic. She ran out of oxygen
Buried alive, so to speak
Yvonne Lennerhoin
from the DAE office is with us.
Any comments
on the m*rder of Annika Runfelt?
Like a Tragedy, and my thoughts
are with her family and relatives.
Professionally,
she wasn't just any DA
- but one of me toughest and most
reputable this country has ever seen
She devoted her last years
to biker-related crime.
An area most people are afraid
to deal with nowadays.
This makes her m*rder
an even greater blow to society.
He attacked her in the car.
Go back
Here she's in the store
presumably buying the wash
Presumably
There. Stop
Go back and zoom in
That face is impossible to identify
-Yeah, could be my grandma.
-Her car?
Torched. Forensics have it.
Any luck with the door-to-door?
-Yes.
Ruth Hansson, 3 Blecktomsstigen
was awake around 3 a.m.
She saw a black Chevy van parked
in the park near the sandbox.
Too dark to see any activities, but
we're checking up on black Chevy
-Forensics?
Oskan punch it up
The coffin is well-built
from new wood.
Some of the boards are marked "PL
The lumberyard or the suppliers mark,
presumably. We're running a check.
Mats Larsson
Police. We'd like to
-We're looking for Mats Larsson.
He isn't here. He's out celebrating
-Celebrating what?
What do you think?
-You tell me.
The death of that stupid c**t!
Where?
Are we gonna need weapons?
-Hope springs eternal.
I'm looking for Matte Larsson
Did I say something funny?
I'm looking for Matte Larsson.
Has anyone seen Matte Larsson?
Can you help me?
-With what?
Are you Ret*rded or something?
-Hey
Don't touch me
-The john's right outside.
Matte Larson is in the john?
No, but your girlfriend looks
like she's got the mns.
With or without protection?
Your choice.
Fist fight. You don't need weapons
Come on.
When you see Matte Larsson,
tell him Gunvald is looking for him
f*cking cop, give me back my phone!
See ya
-You're insane.
What do you mean?
-What if
But that didn't happen
Right?
Sometimes
you gotta make your mark
I hate situations like that.
-The violence?
I don't know what to do
You'd do the same as me
Do you think?
-Yes.
-What are you doing?
Finishing that guy's message
Rattling Matte Larsson's cage
You look rested
-I'm on leave.
Not anymore
Nasty business with Runfelt.
Does it mean w*r?
On the biker gangs?
Presumably.
Another sardine tin
But that's him
-Who?
Matte Larsson. I'm sure of it.
Film the crowd over there
Discreetly.
He had this in his pocket.
-Same same, it seems.
What happened to his face?
It looks like some kind of acid,
and there's another needle mark
The cops are at the bar.
Stay away."
"Afraid to show
your tattooed fairy a*s?
Beware of the baseball bat
in the hall. The cop."
Well, there goes the biker lead
- Oral least Matte Larsson.
So, somebody m*rder*d a DA and
a biker who are somehow connected
-Why does he put them in coffins?
He? Maybe there's more than one
Those coffins are heavy
-What's on your mind?
The acid.
Why did he pour acid in his face?
-Because he's a sadist.
Why didn't he do it to Annika then?
BIKER g*ng LEADER
m*rder*d
Anyone we know?
- No.
Dead end.
Why am I wasting my time?
We've checked with every lumberyard
and supplier in the Stockholm area.
Nobody uses "PL". Do we extend
-Yes, nationwide.
Helto
Do you deny the connection between
Annika Runfelt and Matte Larsson?
And the link to biker-related crime?
- No.
When we return,
inspector Beck will explain
why he doesn't think biker gangs
are behind the coffin murders.
What is the focus
of your investigation?
-The perpetrator.
Any theories about him or her?
-it's a he.
How do you know?
My experience tells me so
Theories?
At present we 're trying
to form a picture of him.
Why he uses coffins
Could it be a serial k*ller
- We don't know yet.
What does your experience tell you?
That we are dealing with a sick
person committing sadistic crimes.
Are you going to catch him?
- Oh yes.
-Thank you.
You're welcome
They're locked on that biker lead
- Sure. It works well in the media.
But this isn't about bikers
it's about coffins.
t*rture, acid, Ketalar.
I think he's trying to say something
The coffin is a symbol
Thank you.
Bon appétit.
-A symbol of what?
Something someone did to him
-You think he was buried alive?
Maybe not physically, but mentally
The m*rder*r wants to show us
-he's buried his victims
and not only m*rder*d them
Take the playground. if you place
a victim in a place like that-
-you must want it
to be found quickly
Other wise you'd bury it
Well, in the wood or somewhere
Do you want it all at once?
-Yes. ls that a problem?
-it's quite a lot.
I know. I'm going away
Not quite same.
He's been here for a while
Oh? I think he looks perky
How long do you think?
-A couple of months.
So if it's the same perv, this would be
the first victim, even if he is the third.
What are you doing?
- Hell, there you are.
Why don't you open?
I've rung the doorbell 15 times
-What did you want?
Suck d*ck. Suck d*ck
-Excuse me?
Tourette's Syndrome
-You have that?
I was just testing. Feeling my way
I got a call from a TV channel
They're making a docu-soap
"lonely Men Seeking Pet."
over a stuffed goat.
They picked me out
using my zip code. Get it?
-No.
And that's why they didn't pick you
They only want real characters
-With Tourette's Syndrome.
For instance. Hey, Martin,
you could play the role of the goat.
-No.
Got any good stuff in the bag?
How are you, Tommy?
- Fine.
Wait. Do you two know each other?
- Hi. Tommy Jansson.
Martin Beck
He's a cop.
And he's in construction.
So now you know each other.
Well, l won't say no to
-We could all
Alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsiton,
zeta, eta, theta, iota, kappa, lambda
mu, nu, omicron, mo, sigma, tau
upsiton, phi, chi, psi, omega.
-What are you on about?
That's the Greek alphabet for you
Didn't know that, did you?
-No.
He's playing the goat.
-I see.
See you
Wait! Where's everyone going?
Just because I live downstairs
Whats going on?
Not being very neighborly, are you?
ADDING SENSE
TO THE PUNISHMENT
Either he taped Annika, or this is
-A new victim.
-And he knows where you live.
You never should have gone on TV.
On the contrary.
That put us in contact with him
This matches the pattern
-What?
Of an organized serial k*ller.
The victim is 40-45
blond, 5' 11...
No significant marks
apart from the stab wounds
Buried for two to three months
Run a missing persons check
Coroner’s report?
-Preliminary.
No needle marks, no signs of Ketlavar
no PL on the boards, no plastic.
Cause of death:
Stabbed three times in the chest.
-No I like the others.
And this coffin was buried deep
The others were placed so we'd
-I know.
What do we know about the victim?
-He's not the screamer on my tape.
Let's put a guard outside your home
-He's insane. He might
He's making me a pawn in his game
He made contact with me.
If he sees a guard, we may lose him
-As it is, he may
Attack you. I'll setup a guard
You look haggard
-Thank you.
Are you worried about
-No!
Having trouble sleeping?
-No.
No, we
if you can't sleep, take one
of these pills before you go to bed
The prescription is valid
for one more jar.
-Toothpicks?
Right over there
thanks
The hyenas are crowding round
-Make sure to tell them.
Martin, we found a set of tire tracks
Might be from that black van
-Any news on that?
We've narrowed it down to about
Okay Who's this then?
Maybe the woman screaming
on the tape.
There. Stop and go back
Punch up the footage
from the biker club.
And the other one
Same guy
-Who is he?
Some nosy b*stard
Should we issue his picture?
-Internally.
If we go public, we may scare him off.
Beck
Okay. They found traces of Ketalar
in the woman in the graveyard.
Same perv.
Third victim
-Or fourth.
Three men match the buried guy
One in Crebro, 8 Fabnksgatan
one in Gothenburg
See if their dental records
match the victim.
Hi, this just came in
Astrid Stiemcrona, 52, professor
of psychiatry, didn't show up at work
A concerned coworker
called the police.
Her description matches
the woman in the graveyard
-Any photo?
No, but I'll get one
-Family?
Two children living abroad
Address?
-Engmark. Hi.
I'll be right back
Want me to go with you?
No, I'll just see if she's in.
Sure, no problem
I'll go out and call you back
Helto
Is anyone home?
Helto
Hi, you've reached Astrid. Leave
a message, and I'll call you back.
No, poise inspector Martin Beck
- I am not a sick person
committing sadistic crimes.
That’s not what this is about
Its about! adding sense
to the punishment
This is Martin Beck. Hello!
Who was the man in the first coffin?
I'll call it in
Are you insane?
How could you?
-What?
Go in alone! Are you crazy?
-Engmark was in
He was in the car!
What if the k*ller had been inside?
You'd have been furious, if we
-Lena
Don't let me interrupt anything
-Does the entire squad know
About their boss's blunder? Sure
You heard his voice. Any accent?
-No.
-What did he talk about?
Adding sense to the punishment.
Anything a little more useful?
- No.
'Adding sense to the punishment.
That’s what it said on the tape.
I know that expression
from somewhere.
Annika Runfelt was a DA.
Maybe it's someone she nailed
-Like Matte Larsson.
You think its biker-related?
I don't think so. But find out
who Annika put behind bars
Sure. it's gonna take me a while
You think he knew his victims?
They aren’t random
Mom, it's me
Remember Stella?
Having trouble sleeping?
-Yes.
You too?
-No.
Well, good night.
-Good night.
Not a word about how I look, okay?
You look terrible
-Martin.
One of our officers thinks he knows
the guy on the photo we sent round
He doesn't have a name, but he drove
him to the psychiatric ER a while back.
PSYCHIATRIC EMERGENCY ROOM
Yes, he's been in here
Let's see.
Here he is. Peter Lind
_..PL..
He was admitted as he suffers
from multiple personality disorder.
Who the hell doesn't?
He manages okay on medication,
but he's been depressed for a while
-Is he dangerous?
Not if he's on medication
-Does he have a job?
Carpenter but he's on sick leave
Has he been in contact
with professor Astrid Stiemcmna?
Yes, two years ago she treated him
Where does he live?
-26 Finntorpsvégen.
Thanks
-Whats going on?
We're with the police
We're looking for Peter Lind
-He hasn't done anything.
Good. Have you got a key?
-Sorry.
The doors open
-Are you going to sh**t him?
Please don't be alarmed Lena
He might be in his workshop
Shouldn't we call for backup?
No!
LOOK
ci
He's preparing for a new victim
There's someone in it.
He's got a pulse
'You were too late
I'm done."
Sense has been added
to the punishment."
When can we talk to him?
- I can't say.
He took an overdose
of his schizophrenia medicine
If he survives, he won't be able
to talk to anyone for a few days.
Beck
The Hudiksvall police
found a dental match.
The victim in the wood is
Sven Garman.
That’s solved then.
Case closed soon, huh?
-Are you going home?
I have to go to a bookstore
S66
And I have to drive
Adding sense to the punishment?
-I know I've read it somewhere.
"The Morality of the Crime"
by Stig Ljungman. Fascinating book
Have you got it?
Just a moment.
Thanks you
Thanks for the ride. And now
you don't have to babysit me anymore
Not fond of protection, are you?
- No, are you?
The police think this is where
the m*rder*r built his coffins.
The man allegedly tried to commit
suicide and is now in hospital
Police inspector Martin Beck said
Hey, people!
I took the liberty of sleeping in
-Martin.
The hospital called.
Peter Lind died last night.
I see.
Back to square one without a motive
A sick b*stard committing sadistic
crimes. Need any more motives?
We need a motive for the victim
in the wood. Sven Gannan.
We lack the forensic evidence
to nail Peter Lind for his m*rder.
Maybe he didn't do it.
Lena.
Hudiksvall is sending over the files
on a nine-year-old m*rder case-
in which Sven Gannan was involved
look over them. I have a lunch date.
Sorry, but you'll have
to celebrate without me
-You look beat.
I got caught up in a book Last night.
-What about?
Adding sense to the punishment.
I'm not a complete idiot,
but please elaborate.
Thanks you. it's about a man who was
wrongly convicted and sent to jail.
After his release, he decides
to add sense to the punishment.
By committing the crime
he didn't commit. What was the crime?
-A m*rder.
Why else would you read all night?
Do you ever read
non-m*rder literature?
Sorry, but I got the case files,
and I thought you might be interested
Is it about a m*rder?
In that case he's very interested
So long, Dad.
You can have my dessert.
Did I interrupt anything?
-Don't worry about it.
Here
Matte Larsson's been in these jails?
-Yes.
And the Stella Brosten m*rder case
in which Sven Gannan was involved
Stella was m*rder*d in her
student apartment nine years ago
Sven Garman, an acquaintance
was questioned, but released.
How was Stella m*rder*d?
-She was stabbed.
Ow?
Three stabs to the chest.
Like Sven Garman, huh?
-Yes. And?
Who was the DA involved?
Annika Runfelt.
Who was convicted of the m*rder?
- Her boyfriend at the time.
-Erik Stark.
Where was he imprisoned?
Erik Stark.
Where was he imprisoned?
At Kumla. When was he released?
Six months ago. Okay, thanks.
Matte sat in Kumla too. They must
have been there at the same time.
-I'd like to talk to Erik Stark.
What have you got in mind?
Something doesn't add up
-What?
-The book.
What book?
I'm going home to read the report.
- Beck.
Hi, ilk Lena
I can't find Erik Stark. He didn't return
to his address after his release.
Maybe he changed his name.
I'll check. Are you still reading?
Listen to this experts assessment
of Erik Stark at the trial.
"Throughout childhood had to clean
up manic-depressive m*therf*cking mess.
Kept home spik and span
Compensated for family chaos
by becoming an A student-
-and was predicted
a glorious future." And finally
"l find Erik Stark to be fully aware
of his actions and eligible for prison
Guess who wrote that.
Astrid Stiemcmna.
She was a member of the National
Board of Health and Welfare.
Runfelt, Stiemcrona and Gannan were
all involved in Erik Stark's conviction.
And Matte Larsson sat
in jail with him.
Do we have a photo of Erik Stark?
The Hudiksvall police probably do.
- Have them e-mail us one.
Want me to put out an APB on Stark?
- No, let's wait.
I'll check if he changed his name
Hi, Gunvald
Hi, you old fart.
Want to go grab a beer?
- Why?
To celebrate
Must there be an occasion?
I'll get Lena to come.
-She can sit! on your lap.
I know who the coffin k*ller is
Me too. He's in the hospital morgue
-lt wasn't him.
- I wasn't? Peter Lind?
No, I think we got the wrong guy
Oh, come on!
We were in his workshop
We saw all the evidence
-I'll explain later.
I'm waiting for a photo.
Pick me up in half an hour.
-Well?
No beer.
Martin wants me to pick him up
in half an hour. He found a new k*ller.
Erik Stark?
Who is he?
Lena is looking for him. Find him?
-Only his mom.
And Martin is sure it's him?
Either that, or he laced his Calvados
with sleeping pills. Nervous?
Hi. Is this a bad time?
-No.
I've got a leaky pipe in the bathroom
Have you got a large spanner?
I forgot my tools at work
- I think so. Come in.
Let's see
Here you go
perfect
Great.
I'll be back with it.
-Fine.
- Can't you get him?
There are a lot of files to check
That's just a little bit annoying
- Huh?
Got the crabs?
-No, I just
-Go and interview Stark's mother.
I wanna be here when Martin comes
After pick him up, he'll want to go to
the drug store, then back for his cell.
You'll be back before us
Get going.
You can drive in your car.
And he's scared of violence
Martin
Martin, I'm here
- You?
Seen Martin?
Sure, only yesterday. Ever played
the Finnish cucumber game?
Any word from him?
-No.
Maybe it's Enk Stark. He changed
his name to Anders Enk Hjon.
-Any address?
No. Why did we call off the guard?
-Because we found Peter Lind.
But he never believed it was him!
We'll thanks this. Calm down
The black van. Engmark,
where's the list of black van owners?
Downtown!
Anders Erik Hjort owns a black Chevy
-Address?
Marlin's slightly claustrophobic
He was trapped four hours in a narrow
concrete corridor at the age of 11.
What a great time to tell me
That b*stard Sven Gannan
m*rder*d Stella, not me.
But he got off and I was convicted
I was innocent,
but went to jail for nine years
This wasn't part of the plan
I just wanted to deal
with the people who ruined my life
Add sense to the punishment
and then send you up a perpetrator.
The psycho whose workshop I rented
But you didn't buy his "suicide
You've left me no choice
Tallstigen is a cul-de-sac
His house is in the wood
Let's go round this way
Spread out.
Matte Larsson
He wanted me
to be his prison wh*re
refused
So he returned with his pals
and a little brown bottle.
After that I was his wh*re
every day for six months.
Now I've added sense
to the punishment."
-Clear!
Search the area
Hello. Mrs. Stark?
Hello. Mrs. Stark?
I'm with the police
Martin!
Martin!
He's dead
Martin!
No!
GS
Okay
Well, I'll be damned
Thanks you
-Hang on.
Bing-bing
-Oskar...
Uh-oh, speech time
Thanks you
-Cheers.
You were right. When it comes down
to it, everyone is as tough as you.
I said that?
-Yes.
I hit him with the spade
and shot him in the leg.
Someone's at the door.
I thought heard the doorbell
Don't mind him.
You made him very proud
SSFS
- Martin
Coming
I'm taking the next week off.
- Okay.
What are you ...?
-London.
-Sure.
Madame Tussauds and all that.
You never go wrong with that.
-No.
Now there really is someone
at the door.
The scent of champagne
reached my ears.
-Your ears?
The cork! Did I miss anything?
Friends, get ready for Technicotor.
How about a snifler?
