[muffled dialogue]

We, uh, do offer

on-site facilities
to take care of the remains,

but if you prefer to do it...

Burn him.

Hulda, I'm so sorry.

Has Misha been interrogated yet?

Lukas will handle it.

No.

It's my case. I'm handling it.

Let's, uh, go to my office

and we can talk. Okay?

I need to keep working, Magnus.

Please.

If you want to help,
just let me do my job.

Hulda, hey.

It doesn't matter how I feel.

It-- I'll have time
for that later.

Right now

Elena is depending
on us to save her.

That's all that matters.

And now,
has Misha said anything yet?

Uh, no. No, not a word.

You and Katja.

We know that you knew Katja,

which means that you lied to us.

HULDA:
You f*cking lied to us.

LUKAS:
Look, she even drew you.

HULDA:
Hmm.

LUKAS:
We also know that you own

a black 4x4 just like the one

that Katja was seen entering.

HULDA:
And you prost*tute refugees.

Right?

GUNNAR [on recording]:
He organized everything.

Misha. Misha Volkov.

He would bring them, the girls.

And guys. I just paid.

HULDA:
Yeah, you were pimping Katja,

but she became
a problem, didn't she?

Maybe you thought, who would
care about a missing refugee?

And then you took Elena
to shut her up, right?

Her son saw a man
that matches your description.

He basically identified you.

Do the right thing for once

in your miserable life
and tell us.

We know that
you like hurting people.

- HULDA: Mmm.
- This man.

You assaulted him,
you tortured him.

- HULDA: Yeah.
- And you will be charged for it.

Did you like
torturing Katja, too?

- Did it make you feel big?
- HULDA: Mmm.

Yeah.

- [thud]
- Tough guy, right?

What a tough guy.

Do you know how many
broken bones she had?

Arms, fingers,

ribs, legs.

HULDA:
Look at the photos,
you f*cking coward.

Look at them.
Look at what you did

to this beautiful girl

who had her whole life
ahead of her.

I loved Katja.

I would never hurt her.

And yet you...
you prostituted her?

No!

She never did that.

They wanted her to, but...

"They"? Who's "they"?

HULDA:
You must tell us
what's going on, Misha.

Where is Elena?

Tell us.

Because if you don't, you'll be
deported back to Russia tonight

and do your time over there.

I don't think
you'll survive that.

So give yourself a chance
and give me their names.

Where's Albert?

DANIEL:
I told you, he isn't here.

- So, where is he?
- I don't know.

He hasn't been in for two days.

Did you try calling?

He doesn't answer his phone.

- Search the office.
- What are we looking for?

Some kind of black book.

- A physical one?
- We don't know.

[phone ringing]

- Yeah?
- ALEXANDER: Albert isn't home.

No, he's not here either.

- Track his phone ASAP.
- Okay.

Hey.

Hmm.

Leifur, computer.

LUKAS:
It's all here.

Katja and Elena
aren't there. Why?

Because they weren't
being prostituted.

Then why were they k*lled?

Because they said no?

That doesn't make sense.

Lukas, we need

There's still work to be done.

Win?

What happens to him now?

I know what you did.

The driver Marta...

...confessed everything.

I know she told you.

Couldn't live with the guilt,
she said.

So...

No.

- [chuckles]
- What do you mean?

I... I got taken away
from my mother.

What happened?

Uh, she was too poor.
That's what they did back then.

They-they kept me in this place

until I was four,

until my grandparents
took me in.

That's f*cked up.

I have this memory.

All she wanted was to hold me,

and they wouldn't let her in,

no matter how she begged.

HULDA'S MOTHER:
Hulda!

Hulda! Hulda!

HULDA:

[phone beeps]

Naomi Katz.
Came here alone four years ago.

Found on a riverbank.
Ruled accidental drowning.

LUKAS:
Are all of these deceased women?

No, deceased foreign women.

But Naomi is the only one
I've found so far

that has a link.

- A link to what?
- Katja and Elena.

All these are clear accidents.

With solid eyewitness
testimonies.

But these here... are different.

No witnesses.

Bodies found alone
in the middle of nowhere.

Probably suicides.

Or m*rder.

- [taps table]
- Just look at Naomi's body.

Extremely clean.

No dirt,
not even under her nails.

Just like Katja.

Her clothes?

Brand-new. Expensive.
Again, just like Katja.

And here is
what the pathologist wrote.

"No abrasion to the hands,
feet or forehead.

"Unusual since the body washed
downriver and up on land.

"Suggesting a quick drowning

and short time spent
in the water."

So you're saying
that the body was placed there?

A young foreign woman.

Extremely clean,
new clothes, no wounds.

She fits the profile, Lukas.

She fits the profile.

I don't think
the murders are connected

to the prostitution ring.

I think our guy is
still out there,

and Naomi Katz was his first.

Why would Albert have gone
through all that trouble

with Katja and Elena
just to k*ll himself?

Because he knew
that we had Misha.

He knew the game was up.

Why bother cleaning up
after himself, you know?

Let's compare the prints
in the ice rink with Albert's.

I promise you
it won't be a match.

Well, that's not gonna prove
anything, and you know it.

Katja's clothes were found
stashed in his house.

This is not a coincidence.

Yeah, maybe you're
on to something.

But there's something else.

Magnus called me.

And Rudi's going back to Russia.

And he wants me to tell him
that his mum's dead.
