Series 2, Episode 3

1 [mysterious music playing.]
[keypad beeps.]
You lot got nothing better to do? You all right? You took quite a knock.
Bust your leg too, right? Looks bad.
Yeah.
So I'm not going anywhere, am I? Where did you get the car? I borrowed it from a friend.
Friend? What's his name? I don't remember.
So you remember borrowing a car, but not who from? Do you know what? Fuck you.
Really? Fine.
I'm arresting you for the murder of Elias Fager.
What? No! You were caught with a car that was used in the hit-and-run.
- What are you talking about? - We have forensic evidence.
CCTV footage from the scene of the killing.
Bullshit.
I wasn't there.
So where did you get the car from? We found the car on the estate.
It was unlocked.
Just begging to be jacked.
I didn't kill no one.
All we're gonna find of that car now is skid-stained underwear and used needles.
Why take the risk? Using a police car? They could have taken a car from anywhere.
Come on.
We're not seriously saying it's one of ours, right? Maybe they were just trying to make a statement.
Whoever killed Elias Fager was taking the law into their own hands.
Great.
That's all we need, a vigilante.
[tools whirring.]
Welcome, detectives.
[Rask.]
Find anything? [Modin.]
Yeah, so there's no doubt this is the car.
We're waiting on blood analysis, but I'm pretty sure that'll match too.
What about the tracker? Have you been able to download the telemetry? - What? - It's a police car.
Oh, he's just adorable.
Yes, it is a police car, Detective.
One configured for fraud operations.
Shit.
Looks like your joyrider had quite the party.
We're finding blood and prints and DNA of everyone he invited.
It's gonna be close to impossible to isolate your killer amongst all that, but if you give me a suspect, maybe I could tie them to the car.
[Kurt.]
Otherwise? [Modin.]
We're fucked.
[theme music playing.]
So this was the most recent case, which I'd love for you to have a look at.
[door closes.]
- Hey.
- Hey.
Kurt, this is Mia.
- Hey.
- Hi.
Her firm's offered to do some pro bono work for the charity.
- [Kurt.]
Oh, wow, that's great.
- Yeah, it really is.
She came by the office this morning with some brilliant ideas.
I can go to the bedroom if you guys wanna work.
No, no, we were gonna head out for a drink.
Mm.
Kurt's a detective, so he might not appreciate some of our ideas.
A detective.
That's exciting.
Not so sure about that.
Uh, hey, don't eat.
I'll bring us back some dinner? - [Kurt.]
Okay, yeah.
- Shall we head? Mm.
We'll be about 30, 45 minutes.
Take your time.
There's a wine bar just down the street.
Five-minute walk? Nice to meet you, Mia.
Bye.
- Bye.
- Bye.
See you later.
[door closes.]
- Kurt.
- Hey.
Listen, I, uh, wanted to apologize for the other day.
No, no, no, it was me.
I was tired, and I was drunk, and I shouldn't talk about stuff I know nothing about.
What are you talking about, man? You lived in the hood for what? Five whole weeks? You're practically the street now.
[scoffs.]
But listen, um, I shouldn't have blown up like that.
You still getting the headaches? Yeah, they come and go with stress.
- Shouldn't you get them checked out? - Forget about that.
- What happened with DNA? - Ugh.
Damn thing's a petri dish.
Isolating the separate DNA is going to be a nightmare.
Did you run telemetry? The tracker.
It's a cop car.
The tracker will tell us where it's been.
It's a fraud car, Rez, set up for undercover work.
Why risk installing a tracker when you can use a smartphone? Catch you later.
- The car's not really given us anything? - Not yet.
[Osei.]
You've both seen this? [Rask.]
The break-in? Yep.
All right, theories.
It could be someone with a specific axe to grind, a family member, a friend of Moberg's.
We really are pissing in the wind unless we can get lucky with that car.
Start with what you got, work up a list of suspects.
If Elias was killed for what he did, where does that leave SÃren? I do think we need SÃren's alias, sir.
I'm putting as much pressure on the Ministry as I can, but with the leak, we're not in a position to make demands.
What kind of fantasy world are they living in if they're still pretending it was just a hit-and-run? Detective Wallander, breathe.
Now, if you have something you'd like to express, I suggest you do so in a civil manner.
SÃren's life could be in danger, sir.
We need to know who he is and where he is.
If that information leaks, then he'll wind up dead.
We need to focus on finding our killer with the information that we have.
IA will be following us every step in this investigation.
We can't afford any mistakes.
[Kurt.]
Okay, JÃrgen Moberg was clearly loved by a lot of people.
Could someone be out to avenge him? Relatives? Old schoolmates, people from his club? [Rask.]
I'll start putting together a list.
You take a look at the old investigation and see if we can find anyone interesting there.
[reporter.]
that a man in his twenties was pronounced dead after being struck at speed by a vehicle.
Leaked reports suggest the victim was Elias Fager, known for his involvement, along with his brother SÃren, in the torture and murder of schoolteacher JÃrgen Moberg.
The driver of the car that killed Fager has not been identified and is still at large.
Any [knock on door.]
Hello? [shaking door handle.]
Go away! Do you hear me?! I'm calling the police! [woman.]
Katja? Are you all right? We just wondered if you were still coming to the party.
It might be worth looking at old students.
Didn't he teach adults to swim as well? [Rask.]
Yeah, he did.
Uh, two swim clubs in Malmà sent flowers to the funeral.
Also taking a look at some guy, had a kid in Moberg's swimming class wrote some pretty crazy stuff about the Fager boys on Facebook.
- Okay, add him to the list.
- [Rask.]
Will do.
Took a look at the teaching staff.
Two of them have criminal records for nothing major, nothing violent.
And, of course, there's Moberg's wife, but I can't see how she could be involved.
She said some pretty inflammatory comments to the press following the verdict.
[Rask.]
Yeah, she did, Kurt, but most of the country agreed with her.
What happened destroyed her entire family.
That's my point.
What if she'd found out he'd been released? I mean, sure, but how could she have found out? I don't know.
Someone did.
Listen, Rask, I think it's bedtime.
I'm pretty tired.
Not too tired, I hope.
Oh shit.
Yeah, I'm sorry, Kurt.
- Get some rest, all right? - Bye.
Good ni Hey, wait.
What about the daughter, Alexia? [Rask.]
Yeah, uh, she's on the list, of course.
- She'd be in her twenties now, but - [Kurt.]
Yeah.
[Rask.]
All right, this is pretty comprehensive.
I'm not sure exactly what else we've got to go on.
We're ready for you.
[Edman.]
Uh, good to see you, Detective Wallander.
We don't usually get repeat business.
It's terrible what happened to Hemberg.
I know you and him were close.
His death must've hit you hard, right? His murder.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It did.
I understand you have some strong feelings about the inquiry, which you've aired.
It's been made very clear to me that I'm not to be involved in the investigation into Hemberg's murder.
And I have full confidence in the investigators working on it.
You know why we wanted to talk to you today.
The leak of sensitive information to the media.
[Edman.]
That is part of it, but more specifically, it's about your colleague.
How close are you with Detective Inspector Rask? We're colleagues.
I respect her.
[Edman.]
Mm-hmm.
- And you trust her? - Implicitly.
Yes.
Isn't it funny that DI Rask and Superintendent Osei worked together in Stockholm before Rask was transferred here? - What does that have to do with anything? - Come on.
What's your assessment of her? What do you mean? Privately? Professionally? What? I'm simply trying to ascertain if you know her as well as you think you do.
She's an extremely competent detective.
That's what I know.
How much has she told you about her work on the original Fager case? It was one of her first cases.
High profile.
She was under a lot of pressure to close.
And has she voiced any personal opinions about the brothers? No.
I'd like to show you something.
So here's the thing, SÃren.
I sit across the table from people just like you all the time, and I know when they're lying.
- [SÃren.]
I told you, I don't remember.
- [Rask.]
You don't? - [SÃren.]
It's a bit of a blur.
- I suggest you fucking unblur it.
I told you, you fucking bitch, we beat him up, and he deserved it! [Rask.]
Unless you own up to what you did, you're both gonna go down.
You know that? You and your brother.
You've dragged him into the middle of all of this, your little brother.
JÃrgen Moberg looked after both of you, and then you beat the living shit out of him and locked him in that sauna to die in agony.
That's what happened, isn't it? What are you saying? [yells.]
- [laughs.]
- You're a fucking animal! Prison's too good for you! [Edman.]
You can see how angry she is.
Outraged by what they did.
I can understand that.
Look, if Rask should exhibit any more unprofessional behavior on this case, you know where to find me.
Are we done? Yeah, sure.
[Kurt.]
Yeah, the Elias and SÃren Fager interrogations from the Moberg case.
Yeah, that's the one.
Thanks.
You know what? Just send the whole case file, the works.
As soon as possible, please.
Thank you.
Yep.
[Elias.]
And then I stole the key.
[Rask.]
To the staff entrance? Where did you get it? Mr.
Moberg kept a spare in his office.
- On a hook.
- [Rask.]
How did you get in there? [sighs.]
He kept it unlocked sometimes.
[Rask.]
And the Halloween masks, when did SÃren buy those? [Elias.]
We picked them up on the way.
- We just wanted to scare him.
- [Rask.]
Scare him? Look, I know he's your brother, Elias, but we know that he did it.
There is no doubt.
So I need you to tell me exactly how it happened in your own words.
 Do you understand? [lawyer.]
Sorry, I really need to make a call.
Can we take a short break? [Rask.]
Absolutely.
Interrogation suspended at 11:27.
Look, I know you're trying to protect him, but it's too late for that now.
You have to be smart, Elias.
You're 14.
He's 16.
You're a good kid.
 I can see it.
And if you tell me what happened, SÃren won't be able to ruin things for you anymore.
You don't have to be dragged down with him.
I need you to tell me that he did it.
Oh, life Is bigger It's bigger than you You are not me Not me Lengths that I will go to Distance in your eyes Oh no I've said too much I set it up That's me in the corner That's me in the spotlight Losing my religion Trying to keep up with you And I don't know if I can do it Oh no, I've said too much I haven't said enough [Mona.]
Wake up.
Kurt.
Oh shit.
[sighs.]
Sorry, I I'm just having a bad time at work right now.
[Mona.]
Yeah, it's starting to show.
It's not so bad.
[Mona.]
I'm just worried.
[Mona.]
Yes.
I understand.
Okay.
Mm-hmm.
Yes, yeah.
Great.
Great.
I Yeah.
Perfect.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Thank you.
- Coffee? - Thanks.
Are you okay? Mm-hmm.
That was Mia.
Do you want to talk about it? Yeah.
A young Afghan boy's had his asylum claim refused.
- They don't believe his story or his age.
- Shit, that's bad.
Yeah, it is.
Police got involved, and we had to hide him The - Yeah, maybe I shouldn't say anymore.
- Probably not.
Well, Mia's gonna help us contest the extradition, so - Okay.
- fingers crossed.
Yeah, great.
Great.
How are you? I'm fine.
[Mona.]
How's work? [sighs.]
I'm not allowed to [exhales.]
Yeah.
Yeah.
This This, um - We can't have a proper conversation.
- We can talk about other stuff, right? There are various things.
Like? [both laugh.]
It's not funny! We will work it out.
Okay? I saw an interview you did with Elias Fager.
So? You know Internal Affairs are all over it? Edman's trying to find motivation for the press leak.
Yeah, of course he is.
You leaned on Elias when the solicitor wasn't there.
Of course I leaned on him, Kurt.
It was a murder investigation.
- What, you want me to pat him on the head? - He was 14.
Edman's gonna see that tape.
[sighs.]
[sighs.]
What was it about the Fager boys? What is it now? Normally when you question a suspect, it's controlled, measured.
But with them, it was different.
You were different.
It was a tough case.
It was a long time ago.
It wasn't personal.
Moberg's wife, sharing in her grief, visiting her against protocol, was that personal? What are you suggesting? Leaking information about Elias's killing puts SÃren in danger.
I need to ask you, as a friend, and I'm not judging you, did you do it? Did you leak any information to the media? - I didn't leak it, Kurt.
- Do you think SÃren got off too lightly? It doesn't matter what I think.
If I was trying to get SÃren killed, it'd make me no better than him.
But I get it, you had to ask.
I was unprofessional then, but that's not the case now.
So let's try and find Elias's killer, shall we? And if we're lucky, we'll get the source of the leak too.
Okay? Yeah.
[gasps.]
Fuck.
POLICE [door locking.]
[sighs.]
- Rask? - Yeah? - [Kurt.]
You need to see this.
Come.
Come.
- Mm.
What have you got? These are photos pulled from Fronten's social media.
Modin's put them together to give us a timeline from the night of the hit-and-run.
This is Elias in all these pictures.
And this.
You see who this is? SÃren.
The guy I met in Elias's flat.
[Rask.]
Fuck.
SÃren was with Elias the night he was killed.
Sir? Detective Inspector Rask, bringing me good news? SÃren Fager.
[Osei.]
Still out of bounds.
[Rask.]
Maybe not.
We placed him at Fronten the night of the hit-and-run.
SÃren was released from prison a week ago, went to go see Elias the night he died, then turned up at the flat the next day.
He must know something.
All right, leave it with me.
Rask, come quick! - What happened? - [Kurt.]
Come.
I lost SÃren.
Him and Elias must have split up.
Look at this.
Katja.
Okay, who's she talking to? That guy is the same guy who comes walking here.
That's the fraud car.
Katja is talking to the killer.
I'll get Modin to track her phone.
Call Katja.
I'm gonna go and get a court order for the trace.
Go, Kurt! Katja, this is Kurt Wallander, again.
Please, I really need to talk to you.
Please call me back.
Let's go.
Modin's tracking Katja's phone.
Call her to get directions.
[engine starts.]
- Modin.
- This is Wallander.
We need the trace now.
[Modin.]
Just gaining access.
I'm nearly there.
Katja, come on.
 Katja, come on.
She's not at the university.
Drive south.
- She lied to me.
I didn't see it.
- [Rask.]
That's what people do.
That's why you should've brought her in and taken a proper statement.
This could go really wrong, Kurt.
Yes! I've got it.
She's at Lindängen.
Exact location should be on your car console now.
There's no one here.
Sure this is right location? It's right there! Of course, she's dumped it.
Let's head for the university and let's hope she's there.
I'll call Rez and tell him to meet us there.
[Reza.]
Hi, Kurt.
What's up? Rez, can you meet us at the university? We need to bring in Katja.
Yeah, all right, no problem, mate.
Me and Fred are on our way.
Perfect.
Osei wants to see me at the station.
It's probably a good idea to bring him up to speed with Katja.
Best if hears it from us first.
Hey, listen.
Just wait here.
[knock on door.]
[Reza.]
Katja, this is the police.
Are you there? [knocking.]
Look, we really need to talk to you.
- Katja! - [Fred.]
Come on, Rez.
She's not here.
[shaky breathing.]
[knock on door.]
Come.
Good.
You're here.
Detective Edman has some questions for you.
We need to talk to you about your interrogation of Elias Fager.
Sit down.
Kurt Wallander.
It's me.
It's Katja.
 I'm in trouble.
I'm sorry I lied.
I was scared.
- [Kurt.]
Where are you now? - In my dorm room.
Okay, stay calm.
Stay where you are.
I'm on my way.
Okay.
Please hurry.
Voicemail for Detective Inspector Frida Rask.
Leave a message.
I found Katja.
She's in her dorm room.
She's in trouble.
I'm heading there now.
[pounding on door.]
[pounding on door.]
[man.]
Police.
Open the door.
[pounding on door.]
[pounding on door.]
[shaky breathing.]
[phone beeps.]
[pounding on door.]
[man.]
Open up, or we force entry! [phone buzzing.]
- Kurt.
- [Kurt.]
Rez.
Katja's in trouble, okay? I need you to go to her dorm now.
We just came from there.
She's not in.
[Kurt.]
No, she's in the flat! Someone is trying to force entry.
Okay, will do.
Freddie, let's go! Let's go, man.
[siren blaring.]
Forget the Go.
[horn blares.]
[Katja.]
Fuck! [man.]
We know what you did, Katja.
Open up! [shaking door.]
[siren blaring.]
[twig snaps.]
- Katja? - [Katja.]
I left.
Where are you now? He was there at the door.
I just had to Move out into roads.
Get among people, okay? Okay.
- There's a concert at Lund's Nation.
- See you there in a couple of minutes.
[Katja.]
All right.
Okay.
Excuse me.
- [Osei.]
Hey.
- This is fucking bullshit.
- How long? - As long as I decide.
They're questioning my integrity.
You know I didn't do anything wrong! I just saw that interrogation.
You pushed Elias, threatened his brother.
"Prison's too good for you.
" I've had a journalist blowing up my phone all evening.
He spoke with Moberg's widow.
Apparently, you share her opinion that justice has been done.
- I didn't say that.
That's not true - That's why you shouldn't have gone.
Frida.
Don't make this any more difficult than it already is.
You're off the case.
- You're suspending me? - I'm protecting you.
From them.
They're gonna throw me to the wolves.
And you're gonna let them.
You can tell your friends in there that I did what I could to try and save what was left of that boy's life.
[siren blaring.]
- Yes? - [Kurt.]
Where are you now, close? I'm in the old town.
- [Kurt.]
Okay.
- [Katja.]
I'll be there soon.
[Kurt.]
Good.
Rez.
We're five minutes away.
[Kurt.]
She's heading to Lund's Nation.
See you there.
[Reza.]
All right.
[siren blaring.]
[thunder rumbles.]
[honks horn.]
[honks horn.]
Fucking hell.
[horns honking.]
[thunder rumbles.]
- Kurt! - She's not here.
- Go check inside.
- All right.
[muffled screaming.]
