Commissioner Martin Beck and his eccentric partner Gunvald Larsson investigate murders in Stockholm, Sweden.

02x08 - Blind Profit

Post by bunniefuu »

They found her over there.

- Beck.
- It's Gunvald.

We found a woman's body about half an hour
ago. She's been there for several hours.

She's looks quite young.
Fully dressed.

it's possible... To hell with it .... !

What is it?

The attack was probably between 7 and 8
hours ago. The cause of death you already know.

Suffocation. The damage to the neck
suggests a very thin wire.

- A guitar string?
- Possibly.

The lesions on the face are less clear.

- What happened?
- I've sent a piece of skin for analysis.

My guess is that it's acid.
The flesh is burned away around the eyes.

But the ears are intact.

- r*pe?
- It would appear not. No sperm.

Yes. Now?

Okay. Don't let anyone touch anything.

They found her when they were fishing.

The hook got hold of something heavy,
So they waded out to take a look ...

It has to be the same k*ller.

- Robban, have you got anything?
- Yes.

Forensics have found tire prints
on the other bank.

There's no one reported missing
that matches the description.

-Description of a girl without a face?
- The girl was k*lled a day ago.

- Beck.
- It's Gunvald. Did I wake you up?

No.
What is it?

One of the girls' jackets
had a torn pocket.

We found a note in the lining.

It says "Ängshjärta" and then
PI... something. Handwritten.

- Do you think it means anything?
- Oh. I've no idea...

What's wrong?
You sound...

Can you call back in a couple of hours?

- Nitroglycerin?
- When you get the chest pain, take one.

It works immediately.
You put it under your tongue.

- How long should I wait before ... ?
- You decide that yourself.

You probably have a narrowing of a
coronary artery.

For as long as you don't have
the surgery, there's a risk.

- Risk of what?
- Of a heart attack.

The pain comes from cramping.

But a blood clot
could come anytime.

- What about alcohol?
- In moderation.

A glass of wine for dinner.
Don't overdo it.

First and foremost
you need to think about what you eat.

And you must slow down.
I'll sign you off sick.

Thanks, but I can't, not yet.

Stop.

ÄNGSHJÄRTATS
SCRAP MERCHANT

- Where've you been?
- To the doctor's.

- What were you doing there?
- Have you seen this?

How the hell did it get out?
Who the hell in the...

- They could have their own sources.
- This building is like a megaphone.

- Why did you go to see your doctor?
- It was just a routine check.

I just have a slight problem with my heart.

- Have you? What do you mean ...?
- it's normal for my age.

It's nothing to worry about.
Not for you, anyway.

I'm your boss.

- They've found it.
- What?

- Forensics are here.
- Any skeletons in the caravans?

we haven't found any yet.

Beck!
We've found some acid.

- Crime scene?
- If we're lucky.

Come and look at this.

Feel it.

Clear the site! The kettle is still lukewarm.
He could come back at anytime.

- What about forensics?
- They can come back later. Get them all away now!

- I've got a menu.
- Thank you. But I know it off by heart.

Yes. it's pretty simple.

Five meat, three fish and a green plate.

A green plate?
it's the vegetarian law.

- I'm in a hurry.
- Righto. The usual?

Oh.
But the steak tartare is lean, right?

Very.
A steak tartare and a carafe of wine.

No!
Just a glass.

- It's hard, isn't it.
- What is?

When you think of all the nice things,
you should keep away from.

- to watch your weight and...
- Shape ....... Heart.

Thank you.

My father always said
that good people die fat.

- What did he mean by that?
- I don't know.

He was as thin as a bean himself.

Maybe he thought
that the good are fat in the mind.

Excuse me.

We've found one more. In a sewer.
Do you want to see her on the spot?

- No. How about at the scrap yard?
- Nothing. Are you taking into Oljelund?

Absolutely.

My apologies.
Sorry, Mats, but I have to go.

- That's alright.
- It was nice talking to you.

You can see for yourself.
I could just copy the reports on the others.

- When did she die?
- It's hard to say.

But I'd guess at about the
same time as the others...

- Oh, and she's got a tattoo.
- Where?

An intimate place
I'm sure you don't have any inhibitions.

That won't be necessary.
What is it like?

- A few words and a flag.
- What words?

- "Dievs piedod". - Gunvald?
- "God forgets." it's Latvian.

Ring Joseph.

They were prostit*tes. The Latvian
Police have their fingerprints on record.

- They're sending photos of them.
- Finally, a trace.

Latvian prostit*tes in Sweden.
So they'll have a pimp.

They usually do.
For protection and premises...

- Customers, whatever...

Maybe an angry customer decided
that he'd k*ll a few prostit*tes one day.

- I think I saw something.
- Where?

- Maybe it was a dog.
- No. There weren't any.

There!

- Here are the pictures from Riga.
- They look better with faces.

- How old are they?
- 20-21.

And they'd got A*DS.

It gets better and better.
Hookers. A*DS. Where's Martin?

- He went for a walk.
- What the hell's wrong with him?

- What are you thinking?
- .... he's never here.

- Where is he?
- In one of the caravans.

- Is there a rear door?
- Yes.

You in caravan.
Come out now with your hands up.

it's the police.
Come out of there.

Come out of the caravan.

Come out now.

Grandfather and uncle Åke both died of
congestive heart failure before their 50th birthday

- You are 49 ..
- I know how old I am.

- Jenna's father just died.
- What? wasn't he ...

He was on holiday relaxing.
He died by the pool in the middle of a drink.

- What was he drinking?
- Dad! You aren't going to answer.

It's the dry cleaners.
- It's Alice.

- we've arrested a guy at the site.
- Now?

- Are you coming?
- Yes, of course.

Can you try to clean the other stain too.

What?

- Did you run all the way?
- Who is it?

Verner Jonasson. He says
he's the warden of this mess.

- We're checking it.
- Inspector?

- Has anyone lived here, in the wagons?
- No.

- Why are you lying?
- I haven't done anything wrong.

- Who said you had?
- Why are you here?

Because a m*rder was probably
committed right here.

I'll ask you again: Has anyone
lived here in the past week?

I've already said...

We are getting damn tired
of listening to your bullshit.

Now you need to start talking.
Put out the cigarette. Get rid of the cigarette.

Thank you.
Now talk.

Talk.

- There were some people.
- When? And how many?

Some girls.
A dozen or so.

- They were here for a few weeks.
- Swedish girls?

No.... I don't know.

They were...
They could have been from eastern Europe.

- Why do you think so?
- They talked with accents like that.

- But they left a few days ago.
- What did they do?

I don't know.

- I was given money to keep away.
- By whom?

- A guy.
- A Swede?

Can you recognize any of the girls?
Please think carefully before you answer.

I saw them when they came.
There were quite a few of them.

As soon as I got the money, I walked away.

Take him in.

There are at least half a million girls
involved in it in Western Europe.

And two-thirds of them
come from the eastern states.

- How many get to Sweden?
- I don't know. More and more.

- Do we know who brings them in?
- No, but we're monitoring their p*mps.

And they know the guys,
who bring the girls in.

Do you know of any p*mps,
running girls from Eastern Europe?

Yes. Löfqvist.

There it is. Not too many get to see the sun.

Russians import the prostit*tes,
They work them there for a few weeks...

- And then move them on to somewhere else.
Löfqvist is in charge of the premises.

- We brought him in late yesterday.
- And we can leave him to stew for a while?

If we want to.
What do you want?

- It's...
- Hi, Löfqvist.

Who gets you the girls?

- What the hell are you talking about?
- The girls you get from Eastern Europe.

- You can forget about that.
- Can you leave us now and lock the door?

What the hell's this all about?

I'm only interested
in the girls from Latvia.

How many were there?

- Two.
- Who were they?

Eva and Aleksandra.

- And Aija. But she lives here already.
- And you get all three from Teddy?

Yes.
No, not Aija.

- Does he speak Swedish?
- Who, Teddy? No, English.

- How do you complete the deal, what do you get?
- Money?

- In Sunny Solarium on...
- When?

- At 23:30 this evening.
- So, this is what we'll do.

You make two phone calls.
One to Aija and one to Teddy. Right now.

You want to get inside
through a pimp?

- Forget it.
- What do you intend to achieve?

What do I want to achieve? I'll damn
well get my hands on the perpetrators.

You can't be sure if you will, though.
It could easily be someone else

- I'm not an amateur.
- But don't...

Damn it, I've got hold of someone,
who can lead us right into the heart of it.

And what are you going to do?

I agree with Gunvald.

I do, too.

Don't call me.
I'll call you.

Okay, Aija...

He'll be here in a minute, now.

Do you know what to do?

Do you know what this is?
It's a high-expl*sive.

it's a great cardiovascular medicine.
I'm a walking time b*mb.

- Are you taking it with wine?
- One does me good, one does me bad.

The mixture suits me.

- A table?
- Yes.

A glass of red wine, please.

- How's the sole?
- Hi.

Soul? it's strong and well.
How about yours?

- it's very well.
- Have you eaten?

A lot. Especially in the 80s.
All over the place.

- Won't you sit down?
- If I'm not disturbing you.

- My name's Lillemor, but I'm called Limo.
- I'm Martin

- Limo? It's a motoring name.
- Well, it's better than Lillemor in any case.

- Do you eat here often?
- On occasion, .... quite often.

- Who the f*ck do you work for?
- I work for you.

Why do you bring me


You don't know what you're talking about.
Shut up! You don't treat me like that.

- Shut up!
- You don't treat me like that!

- Rain or tricks?
- Janus?

Aija... She's good.
I tested her yesterday.


not found in the Bible.

Send her outside.

Money.

- I want to meet with Teddy.
- Why?

Because that worn-out sack's not cutting it.


I don't know what they're like for others...

- But they don't do enough for me.
I rant and rave at them.

I don't know what it is with them
but they're lax and lazy.

So what can I do about it?
I want to talk to him about that.

they aren't any good to me.

- I'm a palmist.
- What's that?

An itinerant fortuneteller
from the Sierra Madre.

I just using my talent for prediction
on your eyes.

- And what can you see?
- Anxiety.

You're a talented woman.
Maybe you could predict more about the Xipe Totec?

The Pale God Hotel.
it's set back a little from the seashore.

The concierge says
there are no keys to any of the rooms.

So we'd need to get in through the roof.

- Martin... What are you ...?
- I'm a police officer.

- What is it?
- Nothing.

You thought I was an oyster diver
looking for pearls as big as snowballs.

No.
I thought you sold menswear in NK.

Specializing in silk ties.

Janus.

- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.

- Is it you that wants to talk about the wh*res?
- If it's possible.

What's the problem with our girls?

Oh they seem to be all f*cked up
when we get them.

Like horses,
ready for the butcher's knife?

Yes. They just sit around.

They don't do much.
A blowjob once in a while and then.

they just wait.
No income.

- Are you afraid of the dark?
- No.

- Are you?
- No, I'm not scared of the dark.

There we are. Old wires.
I hope you're really not scared of the dark.

No.
I'm not scared of the darkness.

Yeh, well because you know in Riga
last autumn one man came to me

He was very unhappy about
my son's behaviour in school.

I very well understand him because
children can be unbearable.

But this guy insinuated that my son's
upbringing was slack.

So we disagreed on that point.
For a while.

- And then he disappeared.
- He disappeared?

Take a seat.

- Have you got the money?
- Yes.

- How much?
- 46 000.

- From your worn out Riga prostit*tes?
- Sometimes they surprise even me.

But it could have been more.

- Do you know this town?
- I was born here.

We're looking for a girl.
A Latvian prost*tute.

Who?

Do you know her?

No.
What's her name?

Her name is Sofia.
A cute name, isn't it?

Has she cheated you?
They tend to...

- You talk too much.
- My mother used to say that too.

So she bought me a beach ball
and then disappeared. Where do we start?

- Where do you suggest?
- Well, hotels, the station.

Maybe she works in a brothel.

- Alice Levande.
- Monitor 24, Cylindervägen.

The boss man, Teddy.
He's bald, medium height & build. Run a check...

- on FTW 485
a Mitsubishi Galant.

OK. Anything else?

Where do you live?
Which direction?

- North. In Vasastan.
- In Siberia?

I live just over there.

Well, thanks for tonight.
It's been very...

Martin.
You've got your mobile turned off.

they're banned in here.

Sorry. We'll have to explore
Xipe Totec on another evening.

I'd love to.

- Xipe Totec?
- The Pale God hotel.

- Has Gunvald reported in yet?
- Yes, he's made contact.

Janus?

Yes, the god with one face on the front and
another on the back. Haven't you heard of him?

OK.
Who is it?

A wh*re, so he said.
Maybe one of those from the scrap yard.

- The b*stard is looking for her.
- Why?

- She could have seen something.
- One of the murders?

Or, she could just have
been trafficked by him.

- I don't know why yet.
- Who's looking for her?

I am, with two of his gorillas.
If I don't find her first, she's finished.

- They'll k*ll her in cold blood.
- "Butcher her"? - Yes.

- Make sure you don't get in too deep.
- I know the boundaries.

- You know that, don't you?
- No.

I'm sorry, but I've got to ask,
is there something wrong with you?

Yes.

Two days ago I thought
I was going to die.

Have you ever...

Have you ever felt like you're on the inside
of a glass dome ..... with a woman?

And suddenly there's no room in your
thoughts for anybody or anything else?

You can only do the things you really need to,
and it's like you're in a glass dome. Is that it?

- Right.
- No, never.

- Would you like a single room?
- Yes.

- How many nights?
- I'm not sure.

- One or two maybe.
- That'll be 530 krones per night.

- Do you have a passport?
- I lost it. Yesterday.

I will go to Embassy tomorrow
and get a new one.

I know I will get a new one.

I have money. How much is it?
I have money here.

- Where do you come from?
- Latvia.

- Circulate these to all units.
- She's in the police records in Riga.

And she knows something
which makes her worth liquidating.

- Has the site been monitored?
- Yes. This is from this morning.

- Is it Teddy?
- Probably. I've sent it to Riga.

Have you shown it to the guy
from the scrap yard?

He didn't recognise him.
I've checked the number plate.

It belongs to a Klas Mellgren.
Unmarried. There's nothing on him.

Monitor him too.

I called to embassy now.
They promised to get me a passport.

- OK. Good luck.
- Thank you.

Do you recognise this lady?

Yes. She's staying here.

- Is she here now?
- No.

Löfqvist says
they really were brought here...

- to work in the f*cking scrap yard.

He's really upset. He thinks
it's unfair competition.

How come there's a bunch of girls
from Latvia, who are ... ?

Tell Löfqvist not to lose
sleep over them.

They weren't brought here to f*ck.
- OK.

What do you mean?

- What's that?
- Lech's found where she's staying.

- Hotel Kakadoo. Do you know it?
- Is Lech still there?

- You, Janus, or whatever you're called...
- I'm called me.

- Have you ever worked with pros?
- I'm a Professor of string and hammer.

- What are you doing?
- Nothing.

- What are those pills?
- They're just...

- I've just got a little sore .....
- Is it Viagra?

- Beck.
- Wait.

Teddy knows about the girls.

I talked to one of the gorillas.
Do you know what he told me?

They weren't brought here
to work as prostit*tes.

Why would Latvian prostit*tes be here
if they're not going to be prostit*tes?

- Strange. Which hotel is it?
- Kakadoo.

But you'd better not send anyone out
there, they're professionals.

They can smell cops a mile off.
I'll go there.

- And if she turns up?
- I'll improvise.

- Have they found Sofia?
- Her hotel. The Kakadoo.

- Shouldn't we get there now?
- Gunvald says not to.

He thinks it's a damn computer game,
where you grab the bad guys with helicopters.

Right now we have to rely on his judgement.
He's the one out there.

Here she comes.
What do we do now?

- We pick her up.
- Won't she recognise you?

- Does she speak Swedish?
- No.

We need to be careful.
If she sees you, she'll start yelling.

And there's plenty of people about...

I can pretend
I'm a cop and get her.

While you wait here.
- OK.

I'm from the Swedish police.
don't be afraid.

I'm here to help you. You have to
trust me. I'm from the Swedish police.

Outside of this hotel there are two guys and they are after you. I want to know why ......

.... Teddy's guy's are after you.
You have to tell me why.

- Why did he k*ll her?
- She got blind.

- blind? How did she get blind? Who k*lled her?
- I don't see that.

- What did they do there with you?
- We go there for treatment.

- What kind of treatment, for what?
- A*DS.

We got medicine like this.

Here's a name, address and telephone number.
Call them as soon as you get out of here.

Did you see her?
She must be over the road.

She must have seen us in the car.

- Did you see her?
- No, what.

The road.

They're not here to sell their bodies.
- So why?

- Hello. Has she called?
- No. there's been no call.

I told you she was...

I gave her the name and address and number.
I told her to call immediately.

- Where is she?
- Does she know anything about the murders?

She told me the
girl was blind.

Blind? Was she m*rder*d,
because she was blind?

- How should I know?
- Don't take it out on me.

Take the glasses off and...

That was what they wanted to
hide with the acid.

That she was blind?

- Were the others blind too?
- it's probably a reasonable assumption.

And is that what they wanted to conceal?

I don't know.
Did you get the medicine?

- They look like any other pills.
- They were being treated for A*DS.

- How were they treated?
- For A*DS, Alice. I don't know.

So, a group of Latvian prostit*tes ...

- ... come here to get treated for
A*DS in a scrap metal yard.

- Maybe...
- Mellgren!

What about him?

You saw his car when you came out of Teddy's.
I checked the number plate.

He was chief security officer in a large
pharmaceutical company... Landexa.

What the hell's he doing
with someone like Teddy?

Maybe Teddy supplies his firm
with escort girls.

Trafficking ....... Landexa ......

I saw a news bulletin yesterday.

About the A*DS catastrophe in Africa.

Can't you get to the point?
I've been round the block and I'm tired.

it's nice...

- What's nice?
- That you've come back.

- So you've been worried?
- Yes, actually.

I am glad to hear it.
Stay that way.

- The News bulletin transcript will be here tomorrow.
- What now?

- We wait for Sofia.
- See you.

- Where's he going?
- Into his dome.

- What dome?
- The one he needs to be in.

- Cheers.
- Is it a co-op lease?

It would be worth a fortune now if it wasn't.

- How do you get on living by yourself?
- Just as a good social democrat should.

One bedroom with a kitchen,
a balcony and a neighbour. A secure tenancy.

- Does it matter if...
- Oh no. Quite the contrary.

- Are we having sole.
- We are.

Are you cooking it with
a lot of melted butter?

Oceans.

What the hell,
you bought ham?

- Why not?
- There are prions in it.

The things that give you mad cow disease.

Ham's from pigs.

You can get mad cow disease from
a hamster if it's been infected.

Is that her?

Thanks, so much.

That tasted incredibly good.

Want some more wine?

- Want some more wine?
- Yes, thank you.

Martin!
What's happened?

I've got some medicine... in my jacket.

Here, it goes under the tongue.
It works immediately.

- It's just a little stress.
- Stress?

it's your heart.
I know.

Why else take nitroglycerin,
to open the ateries?

- How do you know that?
- I'm a doctor.

- Of course, you work at a sanatorium.
- Yes.

You must excuse me.
it's terribly embarrassing.

Why, because we don't know each other very well?

Partly but also because.
I'm just completely wasted now.

Are you that sort of man?
The sort that feels sorry for himself?

Yes, I always do.
Who else would if I don't?

So you do everything for yourself and don't
let anyone else get too close.

What about you?
Are you an open book with no defences...?

- I don't know about that.
- No, I know nothing about you.

Do you need to know that much?

- You need to think about your heart.
- That's what I'm doing.

- Hi, you look a bit pale.
- It's the long walk here. He's .....

So we don't know for sure
if it's her?

We can only find out one way.

Martin!

Yes?

- It's for you.
- Was it posted in yours by mistake?

- No. They think you are me.
- That I'm you?

- Hello?
- Do you want one for your neck?

Through the letter box?

Good night.

Hello.
Have you been working 'til now?

What is this all about?

it's a little trick my father taught me.

That's how he got hold of the ladies.

He talked to them through the letterbox.

He cooed invitingly to them, and offered
them a drink of sangria with a straw.

- Through the letterbox?
- Right.

When he'd had a few himself, it was
through the keyhole. With a suction pipe.

Thanks, but I'm a just little tired...

- What does that mean?
- Can't you see it?

The ring.

- I've got engaged.
- You've got engaged?

I certainly have. Sit down.

Yeah, well, congratulations.
How did that happen?

Straws.

- You've obviously met a woman?
- Greeted and met...

She's a Dane.
- Oh.

The way things are .....

- you have to take what you can get.

She's lying down in there, fast asleep.

- Do you want to see her?
- No, no...

No, you've got class. Cheers
- Cheers.

You...

Why are we sitting out here?

I don't really know.

Hey!
- Lillemor...?

- How's it going with Beck?
- I found these there.

It's a Phase 3 drug.
How the hell did he get hold of it?

I don't know.

- Are any of the girls still in the country?
- I don't know.

- You need to find out.
- No. I don't.

- Why not?
- I've done enough now.

- What do you mean?
- It's gone too far. You know it has.

A new Swedish weapon against A*DS
is being developed.

it's hoped it will help
to solve the A*DS riddle.

Marianne Berncroft, Director
of the pharmaceutical company Landexa -

- Can this drug really help to curtail
the A*DS catastrophe in the third world?

If we can manufacture a cheap and effective
version of the drug, we've got a chance.

- Depending on how the drug
responds to clinical testing


There is widespread pharmaceutical
piracy in the third world.

And the risks are much greater because
we don't yet know of any side effects.

When will Landexa be ready to
market this medication?

We begin testing the first samples
on humans in a month's time.

- Landexa?
- Yes.

- And Mellgren.
- Landexa, Mellgren and Teddy.

Some Latvian women with A*DS.
A new medication and at least three murders.

- So there's a connection.
- Clearly.

- What did she say about testing?
- It's starting very soon.

Testing on humans...

for side effects...

- Have we analysed Sofia drugs yet?
- Not yet. You took them.

- Hellfire.
- What is it?

- They're not in here.
- Nor in the kitchen.

- What are they for?
- They're part of an investigation.

- Have you looked at home?
- Yes. It's strange.

I'd like to apologise
for yesterday.

- Your heart.
- Yes, and after that.

- But I thought it was really nice.
- I did, too.

- I'll let it just ring.
- No, take it. It could be important.

- Beck.
- Hey, it's Alice.

That woman I saw you with at the
restaurant, what was her name?

- Why?
- She could be connected
to Mellgren and Landexa.


Was it Fransson?
- Yes.

- It's her.
- Are you sure?

- Where are you?
- Out shopping.

See you.

Shopping?

A little white lie.

Can you let me know if you
find the bottle? I have to go.

- Can't you stay for a short while?
- No, unfortunately, I really have to go.

- Is everything okay?
- Yes, it's fine.

They were taken last night.

It could be a coincidence.

She's been employed in Landexa's
research department for 11 years.

- Do you know what she was researching into?
- Medicines.

I'm sorry...

She may have done the same thing
Gunvald's done. Infiltrated.

it's not possible.

- Had you only just met her, when I saw you?
- No.

- Where did you meet, the first time?
- The same place.

- In the restaurant?
- Yes.

But it was by pure coincidence.

- How do you know that?
- What?

That it was a coincidence?
You eat there almost every day.

Maybe she knew she'd be able
to meet you there.

Well, but why .....

And it was me that approached her.
Why would she ... ?

- To find out about the investigation.
- Find out what?

Why would she .... ?

- Should we pick them up?
- Who?

Mellgren and Fransson. We need to interrogate
them about their contact with Teddy - and with you.

No. We'll wait for now.

Gunvald got a tip last night
a place where .....

Martin?

It looks dead.

- What makes you think they're here?
- I got a tip.

From Löfqvist?

it's Mellgren again.
Get hold of Martin and Alice.

Stay here and cover me.

You said you fixed all four of them and the rest were
sent home. So where did the capsules come from?

Sorry. It seems that little
wh*re let it slip.

Let it slip?
What do you mean, "Let it slip"?

Was it one of the girls
with the bad eyes?

Yes...

For satan... I've paid you a fortune
for you to clean up this mess, right?

- What if the police have her? - They don't.
- "They don't." How the f*ck do you know?
- We know that.

f*cking dump her as far away from this
country as possible. And no more screwing up.

I mean, spreading dead bodies
all over Stockholm. huh!

Looking for someone?

- Hello. Is he still on board?
- Yes. He told us to wait.

Where's Martin?

- I'm glad you've come.
- What's happened?

He's sitting over there.

Dad?

What is it?

It's too easy for a man to get
tripped up on the dance floor.

Even when he dances as well as he can.

But I'm finished with dancing.
I'm completely finished.

Come on, I'm taking you home.

- we haven't seen you since the hotel.
- No. She got away.

And I've been looking everywhere.

- And did you find her?
- No. But I remember you ...

Löfqvist said that you ...
you were staying out here.

So that's why I'm here. I wonder
if you have found her.

We didn't find her.
But we find another girl.

- Should we go in?
- It's too dangerous. We need to wait.

I don't know how to fix this.

I understand what you're saying, Klas.
And yet I don't.

You say there's a witness who
could talk about the experiment?

- If we're unlucky.
- You know how important the medicine is.

This company stands or falls with it.
it's our only future.

Your task was to find a discreet
experimental group through your contacts.

And now we sit up to our necks
in sh*t! Thanks to you.

And it's me that has to
explain it to the board.

I still think we can fix this.

If we're incredibly lucky, we get to market
it with a filthy stain on our reputation.

If we're not, you're future is drinking cheap
booze down a filthy alley somewhere.

That's understood.

Hello?

What's the matter with you?

We've estimated that total cost
of development would come to ...

- ...half a billion dollars.
That's why we need you.

That's quite a substantial investment
even for a company of our stature.

- I read the fax. What do we do now?
- Can't we say it failed?

It'll be banned. If anything at all about
the tests gets out, Landexa are finished.

- So what do we do?
- There's the missing girl.

What are the chances of
her being found?

We'll take care of her.

Wait.
What do you mean by "take care of"?

For the last time:
Where's Sofia?

I don't know.
Are you slow on the uptake?

You know, you've been playing a very
dangerous game with us...

Janus.

God with two faces.

And...

Maybe we should arrange ......

... a third face for you?

Where is she?

Where is she?

This is Sofia Laijna.

Can you take a statement
and submit it to Osberg? I need to...

Someone's been calling you repeatedly.

- Who?
- Fransson. She said it was important.

This is Martin Beck.
You called.

Sorry.

I've included my...

You must know...

- That what happened between us
was real enough for me...

We are in the middle of an investigation.

If you have any relevant information,
I'd be grateful for it. - Now!

Afraid of the dark?
Are you?

Are you?

I don't know how much
you already know.

When it started we were
told we had to save time.

We could do it by testing
the medicine in secret...

- On a small group of infected people
The Chief of security organised that.

I'd have bet my right arm
that the medicine was safe.

That it had no side effects.
But it did have.

Four of the girls developed damage to
their eyes. They were almost blind.

We stopped the test immediately.
And then the girls were found...

... m*rder*d.
It was terrible.

I knew nothing about the murders.

Mellgren lied. He said
that the p*mps had messed up -

- And now we've got to...

I'm so scared.
I feel threatened.

- But you aren't interested in that are you?
- Not for a second.

I just want to hear about the bottle of pills,
you took. Where is it?

- I gave it to Mellgren.
- Its contents could prove a lot.

We need it to match the substances,
we'll presumably find in the dead girls' bodies.

That bottle of pills was important!

One moment.

- Where are you?
- Teddy's talking. Mellgren is part of it.

- he's...
- Hellfire, she's telling the truth.

Who?

Is this it?

Get down!
This is your fault, not mine.

Has she got my message?
Where can I find Klas Mellgren?

Most of them have already gone,
but I can beep him for you ...

Don't bother. I'm police.
Where's his office?

- What are you doing?
- What you would do.

I'm k*lling you.

Get here fast.
Where is laboratory C9?

- I don't think...
- Where is C9?

- Where is he?
- At Landexa. Come on.

Do it.
Flick the wheel.

I don't think you dare.

Today there is nothing more important
than stopping the A*DS catastrophe.

And if we at Landexa can help do that.
Then it's not only our duty...

- But also our responsibility.

Finally, what would you like to say to all those
people in the world suffering from A*DS today?

I'd just want to say that we at
Landexa are doing all we can...

- To develop a drug that can help.
And we will continue until we succeed.

- It must have been expensive.
- No. I made it myself.

You probably did.

- Hi, Mats.
- Well... Are you still dying?

Can we forget that?

There's someone you know
sitting over there.

My lunch break is actually over now.
Bye, Dad.

Well ...
