02x07 - The Boy in the Glass Bowl

[bunniefuu]

Mona!

Mona!

Don't rush it,
work slowly, slowly. ..

what's it?

Anette! Can you go through this?

- You've changed your tailor. Nice jacket, new?
- Yes.

- Very nice. Ermeno Gildo Zegna?
- Oh, yes. Ermeno Gildo Zegna.

- It's very exclusive
- Yes. I can't even spell it.

- Ermeno Gildo Zegna.
- what's it?

- A new black pasta ...
- I've not tasted it.

- Are you going out? Who with?
- No, I don't know. ..

Hello. can't you see the man
has a rendezvous?

Oh, Right. Good luck then.

Do you want to join us.
Alice and I are going for a beer.

- We need to get going.
-We've got a dead woman in Spånga.

- What's happened now?
- m*rder*d, come on.

Damn, every time you get two centimetres
from a beer, up pops another corpse.

All the murderers know
Our work scheduless.

Mona Svensson, 39 years old.
They found her a half hour ago.

Martin!
Martin!

Hello.

what's your name?

How long have you been in here?

Why won't you talk?

He's not play acting, Martin.
He's autistic.

- How do you know?
- The neighbour told me. His name's Jack.

He... we ..?

he's the dead woman's son.

he's handicapped. He lives in
a home, he only comes home occasionally.

- How old is he?
- 13

- What do we do now?
- Yes. ..

We'll contact the place where he lives.

- Here, Jack, I've got some milk.
- Hello?

Hi, Kaj Gerstedt. I'm responsible
for Jack's care. Lisa.

- Norling. Hello.
- Jack's care assistant. What happened?

Hey, Jack, how are you?

- So what's Jack ..?
- We don't know. We wouldn't. ..

We've been told he's very handicapped.
Is that right?

Yes, he's autistic.
He isn't able to take care of himself.

- Can we take him back?
- Yes.

- Was she a single parent?
- Yes, she was divorced.

- Where did she work?
- In the Stockholm courthouse.

Jack's father, do you know where he is?

He lives in Huddinge somewhere.
He has almost no contact with Jack.

- Do you know when it happened?
- No.

- When did she pick him up?
- Friday evening.

Have you been in contact
with them since then?

Yes, she called yesterday
She said Jack was worried.

She asked if she could increase the dose.
We said she could give him an extra 5 mg.

- Did she say why he was upset?
- No. But it's happened before.

We told her to call us again
if there were more problems.

- Did she?
- No.

- What do you think happened?
- Uh, it's hard to say...

- Can I join you?
- Yes. . . Absolutely.

Cause of death, a blow to the head.
Skull compressed. Immediate death.

- When?
- Yes, you will always want know that.

Sometime yesterday,
between 20 and 24 hours ago.

So he sat by his
dead mother's side for nearly a whole day?

- We don't know that. Maybe he went out.
- Not that boy.

- Any evidence of sexual violence?
- No.

- Any sign of resistance?
- None visible. She was taken by surprise.

- Would it need much strength?
- A good swing. If the lamp's the m*rder weapon.

it's heavy enough for a fast-moving
blow to the head to shatter the bone.

Hello. I'm Walter Berg. I came as
fast as I could. As soon as I heard ...

- How is he?
- I don't know.

- Do you work in this home?
- Yes.

Jack has been particularly concerning us.

- Why?
- Because of his condition.

He's lived here a year without ever saying anything.
We seldom make any contact. - Hi.

- What kind of contact do you have?
- It varies. As a rule he echoes what he hears.

He repeats things. Over and over again. And
he does drawings, we try to interpret them.

Jack is good at drawing.
That's common with his condition.

- But it's only a one way communication?
- Yes, basically.

What are the chances that Jack
can tell us what happened?

Minimal. It could happen at some point.
But it's probably impossible.

- Especially after what's happened.
- We don't know yet what has happened.

But do you think he's capable,
physically... That he's capable...

Could Jack have k*lled his mother?

Children with such disorders
can often be self-destructive.

It can go beyond the self,
but it's very unusual.

But it happens. That's why I said it was
risky to take him home for weekends.

The judge saw it differently.
It was Mrs Svensson's own choice.

We couldn't prevent it.
We just gave our opinion.

- Was she always alone with Jack?
- Yes, I think so.

- How was the relationship?
- Jack related well to his mother.

She was the only person
who had any real contact with him.

- What will happen to him now?
- We don't know yet.

Jack's father will get custody.
Maybe he'll be moved to his municipality.

But that would be devastating for
Jack right now. Let's hope he can stay here.

Until further notice, he's staying there.
Have forensics found anything specific?

No, or rather yes. She had pencil residue
on the fingers, if that can be called specific.

- Were there any pencil drawings there?
- No. Why?

Jack used to draw pictures sometimes.
- Hi.

- Did they find anything on the pencils?
- I can check.

- Have you seen the report?
- Yes.

There were fingerprints on the lamp. All
were Jack's, and the blood came from his mother.

No trace of anyone else,
Only soil brought in by the witnesses who found her.

And the lamp was the
m*rder weapon, according to forensics.

- That means we've only got one avenue of enquiry.
- Yes.

- How do we interrogate an autistic boy?
- We can't.

- What about the investigation?
- Well.

He can't be brought in
because he's a minor.

- Have we found the father?
- we've got the address and phone.
Do you want me to get him?

- Yes.
- I'm on it.

- Where's Joseph?
- he's gone to meet someone.

- Someone? Is he on a date?
- A date?

- At his age, no one goes on a date.
- What do you do then? What?

- Stefan Svensson?
- Yes.

Police.

- have youcome for free food?
- No.

- Can we talk?
- I'm in a hurry.

- The Kitchen?
- Are you going to complain about the ventilation?

No.

Mona is dead.

When was the last time you met Mona?

- When did you last see Mona?
- I can't remember.

- When were you divorced?
- Five years ago - she wanted the divorce.

- Why?
- Because of Jack.

- How come?
- He was everything for her.

Nothing else mattered. Not me, the house,
our friends. She blocked everything else out.

She had to manage everything herself.
She fought against the council, ...

- Borrowed money to pay for private specialists,
but he doesn't need it.

He's only gotten worse because of it.

- Because of his care?
- Yes.

Has Jack ever been violent
with you?

Violent? He could suddenly get angry
sometimes and throw things for no reason.

Once he broke some windows.
But then he soon settles down again.

But he's never been violent
towards us. To people.

- What'll happen to Jack now?
- Until further notice, he stays at the home.

- Then it's up to you.
- To me?

- Yes, you'll get custody now.
- But I can't afford it.

- Case review?
- Yes. Let's see what we've got.

- Joseph's off sick.
- Sick? He's never been off sick before.

- You're surprised that someone's sick?
- Only because it's Joseph. He's always in.

Maybe his date went well,
so he had to lie in for a while.

- It's not like him.
- Maybe he's caught a virus.

See you soon.

You're through to Joseph Hillman.
Leave a message after the beep. . .

- Anything from the courthouse?
- Yes.

She was well liked. Although she
kept to herself.

They saw her as irreplaceable,
even though she only worked part time.

- Why was that?
- Because of Jack.

She wanted to be with him.
She often went to the home.

Robban?

She was at home with Jack all evening.
They went for a walk twice.

- Just them two? - Yes, and the car was
parked up for the whole of the weekend.

- Any strangers visit the house?
- None observed.

However, a neighbour saw a blue Volvo
hatchback on the Saturday.

It drove off very fast,
and it's a thirty limit there.

We haven't seen any car matching that
and they didn't get the number.

- Ask Stefan Svensson.
- Why?

He's got a blue Volvo.

- Hi, Stefan.
- Hey, hey.

- it's beautiful here.
- Yes.

Jack lived here when he was little,
in the summer.

It was a good place for him.
He did well here.

- Is that your Volvo up there?
- Yes, why?

Have you remembered yet
when you last saw Mona?

It was on Jack's birthday.
I saw them both.

But you weren't at Mona's
on Saturday?

No, why would I go there?

- Is that your boat?
- What are you looking for?

- What did you do Saturday?
- I was here.

- Alone?
- Yes, I like it here.

Yes, I can understand that.
Did you sleep here?

- Do you think I k*lled Mona?
- I don't know.

- Were you ever dishonest with each other?
- Dishonest?

- Yes, you probably disagreed about Jack?
- Yes.

- But you weren't with Mona on Saturday?
- No.

If you don't believe me, ask Jack.

Yes, but he's not
that talkative, so...

- we haven't heard anything yet.
- What happens when you do?

We don't decide that. His father will.

Jack is still here now, so it's for the
best, but he'll probably not agree with that.

- Why not?
- He says Jack's condition has got worse here.

But he's rarely ever here.
This treatment takes time.

It could get even worse
before it gets better.

And he can hardly afford to
pay the difference.

What difference?
The Council pays, doesn't it?

Partially. The county offered its own home,
but Mona said no and moved Jack here...

- Even though the council disagreed.

- Why did they?
- Because they think we're too expensive.

But specialist care is expensive, and we
work with some of the best.

- How much does care cost?
- It varies.

For Jack, it costs


The county pays 2000, the equivalent of a county placement.

Mrs. Svensson has appealed, but
meanwhile, she had to pay the difference.

- 500 a day?
- Yes.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- Can we ..?
- Of course. Lisa?

Can you take over here for a while? Shall we?

- How is he?
- Worse, unfortunately.

- How?
- He eats badly.

You get no eye contact.
He doesn't react to his environment.

- Has he started talking?
- It doesn't work like that.

Jack can formulate words, but to
communication requires a lifetime.

- Doesn't it feel hopeless?
- Yes, sometimes.

But then there's a signal.
A gesture, a glance or a drawing.

That makes it feel meaningful.

Jack has a life to live too.

- Did Mona come here often?
- Yes.

Did you notice if something had changed
in their relationship?

- That might have been associated with ..?
- A conflict?

- No.
- Everything was the same as usual?

Yes. As usual as it can be
with such conditions.

Once Mona didn't come. She was tired.

- I noticed that Jack reacted to it.
- How?

There were small signals.
But he withdrew more than usual.

- Now I don't know what will happen.
- No.

But we want to stay in contact.
And vice versa.

We're interested in anything that may give
a context to what happened.

- Yes. But it's difficult to determine specifics.
- We rely on your expertise.

- Oh, the Director-General.
- Yes, Beck?

Prosecutor?

I don't know her personally,
but we've met at the courthouse.

With her son, too.
it's a sad case.

They tend to be.
But where do we go next?

I've read the reports, and the boy
is technically linked to the incident?

- But he can't tell us about it.
-That makes it difficult to get a clear take on it.

We'll shelve the investigation and
drop the matter...

- Because of the perpetrator's age
and mental condition.

He should stay in full-time care instead.
That sound reasonable to you?

- Yes. I think so. Martin?
- Yes...

- That was a bit quick.
- What?

- To shut it down.
- But we got what we needed? Or, what?

Yes, It just seemed a bit hasty.
We could have waited a bit longer, maybe.

- What for?
- See if something new turns up.

And what would that be?

- Hi, Jack. How are you?
- What do you want?

What do I want? I want to see Jack.
he'll be coming home.

Hello. So glad you came.
We need to sit down and. ..

I want to take Jack home.
I want to see him.

Jack doesn't want to see you.

How do you know that?
Did he say so?

We can't take the risk
after what's happened.

- Jack is unstable. He needs to be assured.
- How do you know?

Kaj... what's your plan?
What do you plan to do?

- Go to the cabin.
- What are you going to do there?

What kind of question is that?
Be together. Is that so strange?

We will be together!

Jack hasn't got a mother,
but I love him.

- Then you should come more often.
- sh*t!

- It's a good idea to build a relationship.
- No, Jack needs to regain some balance first.

- It's good that Stephen cares...
- It's new.

How dare you say that?
What do you know about what I've done?

- How I've fought for Jack!
- Quiet!

I've got my rights,
and I can take my son whenever I want!

- I'm calling the police.
- At your own risk.

- But if something happens, so ..!
- Go away!

I wanted to hear how it went.
You didn't answer your phone this morning.

Yes. So it's not just a hangover then?

Right. Get well soon, then.

- Hi.
- That was Joseph.

- Has he slept it off?
- It wasn't a dinner date.

- What then?
- He got a message.

- Message? Has he got cancer?
- Cancer?

- Why ask that?
- Forget it. Have you got a minute?

Mona Svensson. didn't Alice say
she worked part-time?

Yes, but what does that have
to do with Joseph?

Nothing.
I'm thinking about the autistic boy.

- That's done with.
- A bit early though, huh?

- Maybe... What are you looking for?
- The economics of it. It doesn't add up.

- What?
- I don't know yet.

She had a mortgage on a townhouse,
that would take most of her income.

And then all her personal spending.

How could she afford to pay for
Jack's care as well? Strange.

They said the difference
was 500 SEK per day.

- She was well off then?
- Yes, .... maybe, maybe not.

- What are you after?
- I want it to hang together.

- Do you mind if I do a bit more checking?
- Yes. ..... "Officially".

Good.

- But what makes you think he's got cancer?
- Forget it.

- Hi. I thought I'd look in.
- Hm.

- I've brought you something.
- Hm.

- Have you got a fever?
- I don't know. It's probably a virus.

They're from lnga.
She's got a lot at home.

There's esberitox, zinc,
vitamin C and everything.

- She says they help fight it.
- Fight against what?

- This is from me. It helps against everything.
- Thank you.

You?

- You'd tell me if something had happened?
- Yes.

- Has it?
- I don't know.

Yes, I think it might have.
Sit down.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

How's work ..?
You said something about an autistic lad.

That's finished. A tragic story.
don't stress your fever with it.

What... What kind of message
did you get? Yesterday you said that...

Let's have another drink.

- How was he?
- Not good. I'm hoping it's not serious.

- Why would it be serious?
- It could be anything at his age.

- He's smoked all his life.
- Cancer?

You are so pessimistic.
Joseph is sick.

It's normal for people to get sick sometimes
without it being cancer, or A*DS or a blood cell virus.

- what's that? Blood Cell Virus?
- It commonly attacks older people.

Usually men, mostly police officers ...

- In the Stockholm area.
Who work close to you.

Very funny, lnga. Ha, ha ha.

He just seemed so happy and excited.
He was going out with someone.

- He was going out with a girl?
- Girl... I think so.

- You think? Didn't you ask who it was?
- No.

- Why not? weren't you curious?
- Yes.

- How long have you two been friends?
- 25 years.

- And you didn't ask who it was?
- It's none of my business

After the council's contribution
she paid the difference herself.

- Did she pay in instalments?
-Every month. Never late.

- Why do you ask?
- It seems strange.

It'd be expensive for a single, working
mother with a part-time job.

- Yes, possibly.
- Can I see the statements?

Yes, but why is that necessary?

- How's Jack?
- OK, I hope.

- Right now he's with his father.
- Isn't he here?

- No, he picked him up earlier today.
- Why? What's the reason for that?

- he wants to spend time with his son.
- That's a strange decision, after all this time.

Perhaps,
but we can't prevent it.

Look, Jack! Look!

Let's go to the boat. Do a bit of fishing.
Like when you were small.

Do you remember? Jack?
When you were little? When we...

Maybe we'll catch a perch we can grill.

Come on, Jack.
Come on now, say yes.

Look! Here's the boat. Stay just there.
Stand still. Like this.

- I'm going home.
- I've got to check some paperwork.

- How are you? Are you still upset?
- Over Jack?

You know what I think
about his relationship with his father.

You know what happened last time.
I don't know what you think about it.

It could be a good thing for them both.

- He should have come back by now. Is he here?
- No. Not yet.

You see, Jack.
it's not dangerous.

It's nice to row on the water.
don't you think?

Do you remember when we did this
when you were little?

What is it? Jack?

It must have been terrible seeing what
happened to Mama.

You should try to forget everything.
That's good.

Do you remember anything?

- Alice?
- Yes.

- Have you got Mona Svensson's personal number?
- Yes.



- Hi.
- Hi. Are you shaping up?

Sure. Your medicine helped.
The Danish bottle, I mean.

- I'll probably be back at work tomorrow.
- Good.

- Do you fancy one?
- No, no thanks.

- Mona Svensson, did you know her?
- Wasn't she ..?

She's the woman they found in Spånga.
The case with the autistic lad?

- Yes. Did you know her?
- Me?

- She worked at the courthouse, so...
- Now you come to mention it.

That'll be why I recognised...

- Did you know her?
- No.

We met a few times up there.
Why do you ask?

She's baffling us.
Or rather her finances are.

How could she afford Jack's
care fees on just her part-time wages?

Jack is her autistic son.

Yes, I don't know.
I thought the case was over?

Yes, did you ever talk to her?

Yes, I probably did.
What are you driving at?

You've got two dates marked
on your desk calendar. My birthday ...

- Because you want to make sure you
remember to congratulate me.

And the other was
Mona Svensson's birthday.

- Is it her you were going out with?
- Yes.

- Why in hell didn't you tell me before?
- It's personal.

No it's not! You've withheld information
during an investigation! You of all people!

- Why?
- I tried to tell you.

- I tried to call you a thousand times.
- I've got my mobile with me round the clock.

I know. But I couldn't go through with it.

- You couldn't call me?
- No.

Then you said the case
was closed and then ...

I'm your f*cking friend!
How many friends have you got?

I blamed it on a virus. I... I
thought you had cancer! At the least!

How long have
we known each other?

- It's a long story.
- Make it a short one.

She was my mistress.

Mona Svensson?

Yes. It sounds amazing, huh?
But that's how it was.

We shouldn't have let him go.

Jack? Jack? It's OK now.
You don't need to be afraid.

You're back here now with us.
Easy Jack, easy.

- Have I been given the wrong information?
- No, not really.

Do you know who's behind a
private investigation into the autistic case...

- Conducted after we officially agreed to quit?

Yes, Gunvald and me.

Why?

- There were still some things we wanted to clear up.
- Behind my back?

We can't run to you
about every phone call we make!

Oh no. But when I'm contacted to explain about a closed investigation that isn't actually closed, ...

- I'm left standing out like an idiot
who doesn't know what's going on.

- Yes, but... Who told you about it?
- Well, it wasn't you.

I want you to know that when a case
is closed, then it's closed.

Until I open it again, after I've been asked
to by the Prosecutor. Understood?

- Who contacted her?
- I did everything by the book ...

Someone called her. Someone wants to
keep a lid on things. But who?

And why?
Who's afraid of us checking out her finances.

- Walt Berg.
- What about him?

I asked to see the accounts.

- What's he got to be afraid of?
- I don't know.

- Did you find anything, then?
- Yes.

The payments to Jack's account
weren't from Mona Svensson.

- Whose account were they from?
- I'll get that information very soon.

I know whose account the
payments came from.

Mona transfered it straight to Jack's
care account. She paid for him with it.

I don't think so. There's
quite a few strange numbers.

- Can you hear me?
- Yes.

How many times a month did she receive it?
And the same amount each time?

Hi, Jack.

How would you describe
Walt's dealings with Mona Svensson?

They got on well. I think Mona
respected Walt's knowledge.

- Did he see her frequently?
- Whenever necessary.

- Did he see her in private?
- No.

Yes, they went with Jack to Kolmården.

- When was that?
- A few weeks ago. Over a weekend.

Why?
To complete his research.

Yes. Did Mona ever say how she
earned the money for Jack's care?

No.

Sit down, Jack.
We need to talk a little bit.

This is between us.
You promise?

No, it depends on what you say.
I am a policeman.

I think Mona got money from men.

- Why?
- She suggested as much.

It was one evening, she'd been
tired and depressed for a while.

We'd noticed.

One night, Jack wouldn't have a goodnight hug,
instead he created a scene.

It was very upsetting for her,
and she began to cry.

She said she was a bad woman.

People took advantage of her. She didn't
know how long she could carry on.

She felt bad about it all, physically and
mentally, but she had to think of Jack?

She had to pay for him.
Then she ran away.

She got the money to pay the bills
by selling her body?

That's my hypothesis. She was so
obsessed with the idea of getting Jack well.

She placed him with Walt Berg before
she got the go-ahead from the council.

And then she had to pay the difference herself and when she couldn't afford it any more...

- Then she began to...
- Sell herself.

- Though she wasn't a prost*tute.
- She was paid to f*ck.

She sacrificed her own body for her
disabled child. Is that prostitution?

According to the law.

- You think she's some kind of a martyr?
- No. She was a paid mistress.

You know if someone paid her;
doesn't that make her a wh*re?

Gunvald, I don't think it does ...

- What do we do now?
- We check if I'm right.

- Maybe there's a few more of her Johns around.
- Yes.

- Did you give Mona money?
- Why do you ask?

- Joseph!
- Yes, I did. Sometimes.

- I helped her a little, financially.
- Was it 1500 every time?

- Every time?
- Every time you slept with her.

- If you want to say it like that.
- How would you say it?

- It wasn't like that.
- You paid for sexual services.

No, I supported my mistress.
That's all.

Mona wasn't a prost*tute.
Our connection was...

- One of many Mona had.
- Why do you say that?

Jack's care costs were paid
from a separate account.

Mona inserted 1500 kr
once or twice a week for a whole year.

She didn't get it all from you, Joseph!

Besides, you only got to know
her a few months ago.

If you had told me
about all this and Mona's situation...

- As a friend or as a policeman,
choose whichever one fits best, ...

- We'd have been able to solve this
m*rder investigation much faster.

- You don't think it was her son?
- No.

- Do you know that?
- Yes.

- Hi. On your feet again?
- Yes.

- Hope you didn't vomit on the jacket.
- Yeah, I was sick.

Yes, yes. Can I sit down?

- I've a list of Svensson's...
- We'll discuss it later.

Not much of a conversation at this table then.
Is someone dead?

- Is he sick again?
- What's on the list?

- We'll discuss it later.
- It's later now. Did you find anything?

A list of Mona's calls on the evening of the
m*rder, starting at the bottom.

- Örebro?
- A shop in the Beck Lund hotel.

Mona received it at 21.35
which means she was still alive then.

- If it wasn't the k*ller that answered.
- Yes, or Jack.

- We need to get the guest list.
- I get Hillman on it.

- No, don't.
- Okay. Why not?

Because...

We're doing this behind Oberg's back.
The fewer, the better.

- Just you, me, Alice, okay?
- Sure.

You again.
If you look at the accounts you'll...

- Did you call Mona from Örebro on Saturday?
- No.

- But you stayed at the hotel?
- Yes. What do you mean? ...

- What were you doing in Örebro?
- I'm in a skeet sh**ting club.

We should have shot on Saturday,
but it was postponed to Sunday.

- postponed?
- Yes.

- And you were there overnight?
- Yes.

At the hotel Mona had a phone call
from just before she was k*lled?

- I don't know anything about that.
- No.

- Isn't it a bit strange?
- Maybe.

- But you've not got any explanation?
- No.

- So she lived a double life.
- We think so, yes.

How do you know all this?
Have you carried on even though...

Forget that now. we've done what had
to be done. In our own way.

- Will you go to the Prosecutor now?
- Why?

Do you think there's another suspect?
Who is it?

I don't know.
But Jack didn't k*ll his mother.

I don't know why I think that, I've got
no evidence. It's just what I know.

Your copper's intuition? - Yes
- I can trust it.

But I don't know if
that's enough for the prosecutor.

That's his problem.

That's really all you've got.

- And you want to start up the investigation again?
- Yes.

- On this suspicion of a double life?
- No, on the chance of another k*ller.

- How have you found out about this?
- We've worked on it.

Worked on an investigation
we agreed to shut down.

- We've uncovered new facts.
- Not enough for further action.

The evidence is watertight.
That's why we closed down the case.

- Yes.
- I don't understand the point of this.

- Do you know who her customers were?
- We're working on it.

- Can you find out who they were?
- Yes, I hope so.

I can't see any obvious link
between her double life and the m*rder.

- It's a waste of resources.
- That's our problem.

It was well...

- How long are you going to carry on?
- Until we find the k*ller.

Is it difficult to sh**t clay pigeons?

- How did you get on with Mona?
- Good.

- Did you meet with her on your own?
- No.

But you spent a weekend together in
Kolmården?

Yes. I went with them because she was afraid
to take Jack alone. Anything else?

What about the call from Örebro?
Have you thought any more about that?

- Yes. don't you know who it was yet?
- No. it still seems strange.

Maybe there was someone else at the
hotel who knew Mona?

- Who might that be?
- Bernt Jansson.

- The Prosecutor?
- He could have met her at work.

- What would Bernt Jansson be doing there?
- He's in the sh**ting club.

Didn't you know?

Why haven't we seen Jansson's name before?

He wasn't on the guest list.
It was impossible to...

- Have you and Joseph fallen out?
- No.

Let's consider Jansson.

He was at the hotel on the night of the
m*rder, he could have called Mona.

Half past nine on a Saturday night,
from a sh**ting club meeting in Örebro.

Are you sure that Jansson is...

That she was his mistress?
But he's...

he's a prosecutor.
And why shouldn't they f*ck around?

Maybe Mona found .... contacts in her workplace.

She wasn't the one who checked in
at the clubs and bars.

- He's a police officer.
- Even more reason to keep it quiet.

Maybe it was him that called Oberg. He'd heard
you were checking Svensson's account.

- Why hasn't she said as much?
- There's not much cameraderie at their level.

- Hi. Where's Jack?
- His father's taken him.

- When?
- At lunchtime.

- Who gave permission?
- Walt Berg. They were on tour... so.

That's why he didn't want to
re open the investigation.

- Because he called Mona?
- No, because we would find his name.

- Where?
- On the list of men that gave money to Mona.

I understand.
But it's all based on assumptions.

An unidentified phone call.
Could have been from anyone.

Not anyone.
Someone who knew Svensson.

- And both of them were at the hotel.
- And a denial.

- Walt Berg's?
- Yes.

- So what do we do now?
- We question the other one.

It's no fun poking about in her
double life, but we need to.

- We all want to finish this soon.
- Yes.

Unfortunately, we keep finding
strange things all the time.

Like a mysterious phone call
from the Beck Lund hotel in Örebro.

The night Mona was k*lled.
We want to know who made that call.

- Was it you?
- Me?

Yes, we're only asking.

I didn't make private phone calls to Mona
Svensson. I hardly knew her.

How well do you know
Walt Berg then?

We are in the same sh**ting club
that's why we were in Örebro.

- At the Beck Lund hotel?
- Yes, among other places.

Since both of you knew Mona,
it's not that unusual for us to question you?

It's reasonable, I suppose.

- So it had to have been Walt Berg then.
- It would seem so.

But he says he didn't make the call.
So which of you is lying?

Maybe Mona knew someone
else at the hotel ?

Yes. But we can't ask her about that,
that's why we're asking you.

- Are you questioning my authority?
- Do you think that's going to stop us.

Gunvald!

we've got a difficult situation here
because you knew Mrs....

Yes. I'll think about it.
But I've got plenty of other stuff to do.

Now we've got two of them who both
deny that they made the call.

And one that says
He barely knew her anyway.

- Jansson? That's interesting.
- Why?

I've checked Mona's call log.

He called her 16 times always
when he wasn't at his home.

- Jansson?
- That pig is lying to our faces

- Any calls from Walt Berg?
- Someone called from the home, at least.

Who exactly made the calls
we don't know, but...

- What?
- There were nine other calls from one another number.

- Joseph's...
- You knew?

- Joseph?
- Yes, they had a relationship.

Joseph and Mona Svensson? That's
how you arrived at your hypothesis?

He paid to f*ck her?

- What?
- Yes.

- And when did you find out?
- Too late. I take full responsibility.

I should have told you, but...
Joseph is completely broken.

Now you're right out on the slippery
f*cking ice. Don't you know that?

Have you got anything else hidden away?
Keeping from us two idiots.

Gunvald!
Martin knows what he's done.

Definitely! Cameraderie, isn't that
what you called it?

So Joseph is one of the
men circling round Mona?

- Unbelievable. Has he got an alibi for the m*rder?
- I don't know.

- You don't know. Haven't you asked him?
- No.

- Martin Beck, why not?
- Joseph didn't k*ll Mona.

How do you know?

- Because I say so.
- You're talking sh*t. .... Talking sh*t.

- Hi. Can I come in for a bit?
- No.

- But we can go to your place.
- Yes, of course.

- Want a drink?
- You know me. Anything as long as the glass is full.

- what is it? French rat poison?
- Calvados.

- don't you have any alcohol?
- It's liquor, isn't that what you want?

Absolutely.

- How are you?
- Alright.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

- Have you got areally good old friend?
- What? An old buddy?

- One you've known all your life?
- Yes. Boger Lasse.

- Why do you ask?
- How long have you been friends for?

We met at school. We were in
a g*ng that broke into a shop, ...

- Stole a bunch of girlie magazines and we
ended up in Fåfängan and... you know...

It was probably the times we lived in,
end of the 50s. That'd be it.

- Haven't you got an old buddy?
- Yes. One.

- So what are we talking about?
- I was just thinking

How well we really know someone.
What do you know about Boger Lasse?

what do I know about him?

- Do you think he could k*ll someone?
- Absolutely.

- Why?
- Why not?

Anybody can k*ll someone.
Don't you know that?

- I don't think about it.
- I could, for example.

- You?
- I'll tell you something now.

Jäderkvist, on the second floor. He always
pisses in the trash. It makes me so angry.

If he does it again, I'll k*ll him.
I've told you now. You can take my fingerprints.

- You smell of beer.
- You scared me.

It's my job. What were you doing
on the night of the m*rder?

- Has Martin sent you?
- No. This is between us.

- Why?
- I don't want to distract Martin.

I didn't k*ll Mona Svensson.

- Where were you on the night of the m*rder?
- I was here.

- Can anyone confirm that?
- No.

- What were you doing here?
- The usual.

- And what's that?
- Ate left overs, solved a crossword puzzle.

- Funny. Did you talk to Mona?
- No.

Did you talk to anyone at all?

Gunvald, I didn't m*rder her.
Why would I do that?

- I liked to go out with her.



- Why would I k*ll her?
- You want a motive?

OK. You were in love with her.
You had an intimate relationship.

Then you find out she's got plenty of
other men. And it clicks for you.

- It's a lie.
- It's a motive.

Whether you did it or not,
I don't know.

- Have you been to Mona's house?
- No.

- Where did you go when you ..?
- Here.

We went out to eat,
and then... we came here.

Did you know that Mona had an intimate
relationship with Bernt Jansson, too?

With Jansson?

- Did you know?
- No.

- She never mentioned his name?
- No.

- What would you have done if she had?
- I don't know.

Wait here.

Jansson. Who? I understand.

If you f*cking do.
I'll want a good explanation.

No, of course I won't.
Sure, I'll come.

we've got 16 personal calls
that shows the relationship wasn't fleeting.

A relationship Jansson denies.
Why?

He didn't sleep at Örebro on the m*rder night.
We can ask him where he slept.

- Or if he slept.

- Or who with.
- That wasn't funny.

He never is.
Can we contact him tomorrow?

Yes. The phone list...
Were there other men who'd rung her?

- We're working on it.
- No more unpleasant names, right?

- No, no.
- Okay.

But he didn't go into the city, he went
into a forest and left the princess .....

- Jansson isn't here.
- When will he be back?

- I don't know.
- When does he usually come in?

- Nine, if he's not in court.
- Is he today?

- No.
- Does he often just go away without notice?

- It's never happened before.
- Can you ask him to contact us?

- what is it?
- A clay pigeon.

- Bad news.
- He's in town somewhere.

No. He knows we're breathing down
his neck, that it could all fall apart.

his job, his family, everything.
he's not stupid.

- But he's under pressure.
- Maybe he's taken his own life.

Or run away. He could send us
a postcard from the Pitcairn Islands.

- No.
- What if he k*lled her?

- There could be others just as ...
- Joseph Hillman, for example.

why mention him?

He sat all alone and solved crossword puzzles
when Mona was k*lled. Perfect alibi.

- How do you know that?
- I asked him.

we've blocked off the road ...

- He wasn't k*lled at the site.
- What time?

Between 2100 and 2300 yesterday.
His head was crushed with a stone.

- And you think there's a connection?
- Yes.

- don't you?
- No.

Not until we've got some proof.

Jansson was a tough prosecutor
with many enemies.

- And a dead lover.
- Don't get distracted.

A government official has been
k*lled, that gets first priority.

The Chief of Police called. He wants
to know what we're intending to do.

How thoughtful of him.

The question is, what's the motive?
Why Jansson, now?

- Why was he m*rder*d.
- What reason?

Maybe he got in touch
with the Örebro m*rder*r.

Martin!

we've found the taxi driver who picked
Jansson up at nine o'clock.

He drove him to Skånegatan 51.
But he didn't go in.

- So what happened there?
- Jansson called up on the door phone, ...

- Then his mobile rang, he got back
in the taxi and drove to the home.

- Jack's?
- Yes. He got out and the driver drove away.

- What was he doing there?
- And who was he meeting at the care home?

- He'd probably gone to meet the clay pigeon.
- Gunvald!

Sorry. We've checked out Walt Berg.
He worked in Norway before.


of sexual harassment.

The case got in the local media,
but the charges were dropped.

Then he moved here, and
established the care home ten years ago...

That's great, thanks.

Another one of them.
Obviously, he's been with Mona as well.

Why did you move here from Norway?

- Have you checked my past?
- Thoroughly.

- I was suspected of something?
- No.

Did you know that Mona sold her body
to raise money?

No. Sold...

I don't think so.
Mona wasn't like that.

What was she like? .... Mona?

She was very caring.
She loved children everywhere.

Did you love her?

She was the mother of one of my patients.
It was a professional relatioship. Anything else?

Yes. Can anyone confirm that you slept in
Örebro on the night of the m*rder? .... Well?

- Hi.
- Hi.

- Did you see this man here yesterday?
- No, who is he?

what is it? Jack?
Was it that picture? Jack?

Did you see the man?

- Why did he react like that?
- I don't know.

- He recognised him.
- Maybe.

But he's been nervous
since he got back.

- Back? From where?
- An excursion. He went out with his father.

- Yesterday? And when did he come back?
- His father brought him back about nine.

- Back here?
- Yes. Excuse me.

- Are you sure?
- He was there. At the same time as you.

- But you didn't see him or a taxi?
- No.

- Was Walt Berg there?
- Yes. He took Jack inside.

- And then you went home?
- No, I came here.

I thought you recognised him.
Out in the garden.

Do you understand?
Yes...

You might want to draw a little?
Would you like to?

- Hi. What are you doing here?
- Talking toJack for a bit.

Or rather, I'm doing the talking...

- Is it okay?
- Sure.

- Norling let me in.
- Yes.

- Do you know if there's a pen and paper?
- What for?

I thought I'd try to make contact.
It could be easier if he...

He used to draw, you said?

- Yes, but now he doesn't draw anymore.
- Why not?

We want to restrict it, so he has to
use other forms of communication.

- it's a part of his treatment.
- Right. Are you going of duty?

Yes, but if you've got any questions,
please call. Home or mobile phone.

Jack. Jack...
Shall we draw a little?

You can draw whatever you want.
I won't show it to anyone else.

Can you... Can you draw a pig?
Shall I show you how?

That...

and stuff.
See?

Want to try yourself?

But, Jack.
Why ..?

Oh, I didn't know you were still here.

Nobody problem, I'm just going.
But thank you. Bye.

it's a hamburger restaurant
Annedalsvei. See you there in ten minutes.

And take Alice with you.
Yes, it's good.

That's enough now, Jack.
That's enough.

Give me the pen.
Give me the pen, Jack. Let go!

- A p*nis?
- what's that in the corner?

- A pig.
- A pig? It looks more like a potato.

What does it mean?
Has it got something to do with the m*rder?

- I don't know.
- Or something he's experienced.

Perhaps he drew it at home,
Mona saw it and got a shock.

- She had pencil traces on her fingers!
- So she called the home.

- It was because of drugs wasn't it.
- So Järstedt said.

Maybe Järstedt was at Mona's?

- Why?
- I said maybe.

Jansson called to arrange a
meeting with her for... you know.

- Mona says Jack's psychiatrist is there.
- Why didn't Jansson tell us?

- Maybe he was going to tell us?
- Stupid b*stard.

- So maybe Järstedt k*lled Jansson?
- One m*rder to conceal another.

He didn't want Jack to draw him.
- Who - Järstedt.

- Why?
- Because... hellfire!

- Where are you calling?
- The care home. Walt Berg is there.

He needs to know about Järstedt
He was there yesterday when Jansson arrived.

- No answer?
- Yes. It was Järstedt.

You cover out here!

Walt Berg is alive! The ambulance is coming
Where's Jack?

Fire warning shots.
they're out there somewhere.

- Jack and Järstedt?
- Do it.

Järstedt!

There you go, Jack. it's not dangerous.

They'll never find us.
We just have to hide.

- You... they're evil people.
- Järstedt! We know you're out here!

He's here.
I've found him.

- Quiet. Let the boy go!
- Relax. I've got him.

- Let Jack go!
- You misunderstand. Jack attacked Walt Berg.

He ran and I ran after him.

- Yes, so we've misunderstood everything?
- He was just wild, he beat...

Stupid fool! don't you think
we know what you're doing?

Gunvald!
It's not worth it.

- Did you exploit Jack sexually?
- Yes.

And then k*lled Mona
because she discovered it?

How did she discover it?

She found a drawing like that?

Yes.

How did she know
it was you?

She didn't at first.

But she the home very upset, so...
So I went out there.

She showed me the drawing.

She said she was going to remove him from
care and notify the police, and then... Yes.

- Did you k*ll her?
- And put the blame on Jack?

He knew nothing anyway.

Joseph.

Yes, they're here.

Right. Okay.

That was Oberg. She wants to
see us all together. Me too.

- What did she sound like?
- Icy.

Then she's found out.

I asked if there were any other names
on the phone list that we recognised.

- Were there?
- Yes.

- Joseph Hillman.
- Yes.

- How many of you knew that?
- Gunvald and Alice.

- And you.
- Yes.

- But you didn't pass that information to me.
- Yes.

it's either gross negligence
of the correct procedure, ...

- Or pure spite,
If I choose to take it personally.

- Do you have any explanation?
- Yes.

Write it down then. Now!
I want it in ten minutes. There's the door.

Joseph!

Now it's your turn.

I regret what's happened.
I've behaved terribly.

But you're an attractive man,
you didn't need to do that? What?

Besides, I'm always here
If you're interested.

It was just a joke.
You can go now.

- How did it go? "
- All right.

- Were you sacked?
- No, she...

She can be terrible.
When Alice first started here...

- Oberg like a rattlesnake to me.
Forget it.

- She'll calm down.
- Sure.

Yes, she didn't break us.

- Gunvald. Is he upset?
- Yeah, what does it look like?

We try to meet as often as possible.
The new home seems very good.

That's good. Has he...

- Can you communicate?
- I think we do, but...

Here he is.

Hi, Jack!

Hey, hey.
He draws these all the time.

Can I show him one, Jack?

But I don't know why.
