Strömstad castle
Army horse and carriage school

Try a larger caliber Ms. Renman!

- Young lieutenants are hard sleepers.
- Yes colonel.

Good morning. - Good morning.

- Hi!
- Hi to you to.

- What are you doing?
- I want to talk to you.

It's been too long since we had a talk.

Don't joke, this is serious. - Sure.

Take it as a proposal
on an empty stomach.

Don't you think we should pick up
where we left off 3 years ago?

That's just what I wanted
to talk to you about.

Douglas and I got engaged yesterday.

Douglas?

Oh, Douglas. Why him?

Kind, reliable.
All that makes life worth living.

Depends on how you want to live life.

That's just what we couldn't agree on.

- Talking about those ballet girls again?
- Please Henrik.

You can dance all the ballet you want.

You'll be the star of it all. Big solos.

For a tour or a guest appearance.
No thanks.

- I prefer longer commitment.
- Let's go have a coffee in the mess.

You drive. I'll walk.
I had coffee half an hour ago.

Anitra! Come here. Come on!

Hey, shouldn't you put bridles on her?

- Shut up.
- Whoops.

Good morning Kerstin. - Good morning.

I heard you just got engaged.

Congratulations. - Thanks Kurt.

- Still feel good being the only girl?
- Yes.

Everyone's good to me.

And you? Don't you miss service yet?

Of course.
You're not done even after retirement.

Tell them I'm in the prize jumping.

- That's good to hear.
- I'm not dead yet.

Henrik Löwe. That guy...

- Good luck Kerstin.
- Thank you.

Saddle master?

- There's something wrong with Champion.
- Wrong?

- What's with him?
- The veterinary girl is in there now.

Adolf? - Coming.

Good morning boy.

Hello Git, how's Champion?

Someone must have whipped him.

- I wonder who did it.
- Well I'll be damned.

- When could this have happened?
- He was fine yesterday evening.

And what's this?

- He's been out tonight!
- Don't you have guards?

No... but it's locked.

The key is in the manege,
but everyone knows that.

- We must take this seriously.
- Of course major.

Git. Would you see to it that the
battalion veterinary looks into it?

Yes if you want.

Anitra?

Oh hey there! Where's mummy?

Anitra? Come here.

Anitra!?

Douglas!

- Love, are you hurt?
- Everything alright major?

Just a bang on the arm.

You alright? - It's fine.

What's with Champion?

Something scared him into a pirouette.

Keep going!

Shouldn't Major be going to the doctor?

Shouldn't my lovely fiancee be in
her first lesson of the day?

Hello there!

You said you'd eat your boots
if you didn't win yesterday?

The paint is especially good. - I know.

I made a stew. A little bitter, that's all.

Henrik?

I think I'll take back what
I just said Kerstin.

Stuff like that makes life worth living.

Congratulations.

What's with Henrik now? You could
think he's in love with you.

- Late again lieutenant?
- So Parat is nagging now as well?

I haven't gotten my German saddle,
the Swedish ones are useless.

The saddle maker says otherwise. He's
made saddles long before you were born.

Tell him that if you've never ridden
knows nothing about saddles.

- Then he'll kill me.
- Good. I promise you a nice funeral.

That's all.

Hi Henrik.

Hi there tomboy. Already up and about?
You look pretty in a white coat.

- You're on the first page today.
- Why wouldn't they?

I could be a role model
for the whole cavalry.

- But I've never liked being second.
- Do you mean Douglas?

- Douglas? Why?
- Who got engaged to Kerstin.

A mistake that should be
corrected as soon as possible.

Perfect lieutenant Löwe!

I see you thrive in Swedish saddles.

Like a glass without a drink!

Nelson! First obstacle!

Kerstin! A more composed run-up next!

Damn Swedish saddle.

Henrik? Who's that man? - Who?

Oh you mean the blue rider?

Some oddball who's been
living alone in a hunting cabin.

An officer? - Former.

There was a scandal.

Best friend's wife,
and a discreet military funeral.

You could ask your fiancee, he knows.

Ms. Renman?
How about returning to the lesson?

Saddle master. Lieutenant Löwe reporting
after adjustment of Swedish saddle.

Good. Go on.

- Jönsson takes command!
- Yes major!

Ms. Renman! Lower your hands!

Here you go Major. - Thank you.

Thank you.

Happy?

That... blue rider.

- What's his story?
- Story? Who told you?

- It was Henrik who...
- He always talks. Cheers.

Cheers.

- Git! You could take the ten.
- That's a hopeless play.

Bravo Git!

You don't know Git. But I do,
ever since she was a little snotty kid.

The girl who've always beaten the boys.

A real tomboy is what she is.

Let's have a whiskey.

No thanks.

What the hell's the matter with her?

- Think about it...
- What are you saying?

I have an honorable duty ahead of me,
as oldest and most experienced in class.

I mean the speech for the newly engaged.

Dear Douglas...

You have a woman who's not
only fair and has nice curves.

Like one of Paris's goddesses.

Those who also have
the geisha's fine qualities.

And is consequently
experts in the art of pleasing a man.

And dispel his dark thoughts.

- Forget about that, there's more.
- Time to shut up Henrik.

Only one thing left.

To kiss the bride.

I forgot that in the speech.
She's got a temper too, the fair lady.

Henrik! You owe Kerstin an apology.

Of course.

I ask for forgiveness.

The mouth speaks what the heart says.

Dear Axel, how sweet of you to
think of me at your mess evenings.

A lone widow like me is often forgotten.

I know what you're aiming for.

You're trying to charm away the trampled
crops on my Ribersvik.

You see right through me in
the most shameful way.

You only think of your pleasure.

Look.

- My half brother Douglas, excuse me.
- My pleasure.

- I've forgot to congratulate you two.
- Thank you.

I sensed something was to happen.
Will it be at Stig Lora?

No. We're thinking of having the wedding
here, in the castle's chapel.

And when are you driving me out
of my Ribersvik?

But dear Elly.
We don't need the whole house.

Thank you. But living at the side
doesn't amuse me at all.

Good luck then Kerstin.

Kurt! Hi!

What are you drinking? Whiskey? Ugh.

I want Champagne! And I'm buying!

No no, not at Strömsholm my dear.

A half of 'Yellow Widow' at my expense.

I know you've been wanting to dance,
but I've been so busy.

- Axel hasn't let me go you see.
- I saw that.

Thank you. Cheers!

Cheers.

Champagne is wonderful!

I've been drinking it all night.
It tickles my nose so funny.

- I'm washing down Douglas engagement.
- I see.

It's so stuffy in here.

Let's take a walk in the park!

My pleasure.

We're guessing she's on the prowl again?

Kurt will have take care not
to be her next victim.

An old man like him knows
how to handle himself.

Incidentally, I think your wife
wants to talk to you.

Olle!

Speaking of being trained
in higher education.

Yes love? I'm coming.

Ensign Andersson? - Lieutenant colonel?

- Don't blame something else.
- It's true, I've been so busy lately.

Exercising the horse, the dentist...

That sounds terribly busy!
I'll have to beg for forgi...

- What was that?
- The murder of a widow.

- What a terrible thing to say!
- The 'Yellow Widow' of course.

A Champagne cork.

But Kurt...

I still think it sounded like
a gunshot.

Scary.

I forgot my cigarette case
on the pool table.

- I'll be back in a moment.
- I'll come and get you if you're not.

She knew exactly what she wanted.
You know how an old mare can be.

Stubborn as can be, I was chanceless.

It was a lie to keep her in so...

I was busted.

Classy.

Kurt?

The blue rider has been murdered.
He's over there by the oak.

- What's happened?
- Tell the boss to get over here quick!

How terrible.

I watched him die.

There there. Relax Elly.

I think it will be an enjoyable hunt.
You can watch it all from Backeby.

Yes... Excuse me ladies.

Come along Douglas.

There. Right by the oak.

- Where'd he lie Elly?
- By the oak.

But dear Elly, there's nothing here.

But I saw him. He lay there.

He came crawling from there,
and then he died there.

If I'm not mistaken, the corpse
is taking a rider over there.

What?

I swear. He lay here.

And he was dead. And right before that
we heard the gunshot Kurt.

Gunshot? - It was a Champagne cork.

- You read too much thrillers Elly.
- He was thrown off and fainted.

In any case the rumor of his death
seems exaggerated.

I know what I saw.

- And he was dead.
- Sure, with half his head blown off.

- Kurt!?
- One half of 'Yellow Widow' for you.

Let's go.

How mean you are.

- Why don't you believe me?
- Why wouldn't I believe you?

Kurt...

Now if there's a mystery
the big Sherlock can't solve.

Call me.

If there's a horse at Strömsholm you
can't manage, then call me.

Just a little closer.

Hold. Hold it.

Captain Hillman, is this is the first
time a Swedish expert is hired overseas?

It has happened once or twice.

Is Ms. Hillman coming too? - No.

I'm unfortunately invited to a
Blue Star course at Strömsholm.

It's time to board now. - I'm coming.

John. John!

Don't forget to get me that police cap.

No no. The police cap!

- Yes, that one.
- I thought it was a cowboy hat.

Kajsa, promise me.

Freddy can only answer the telephone and
say 'no thanks' while we're away.

- If he doesn't start up his P.I. job.
- God help the clients.

Bye.

That's nice of you.

- Did you call for a taxi?
- It's on it's way.

And remember what John said Freddy.
No new assignments.

Kajsa...

Only my specialty of tailing then? - No.

Only one little divorce then? - No.

No.

Hillman's detective bureau.

Hillman's detective...

Oh... Hillman's detective bureau.

Captain Hillman?

No, he's at the North Sea at the moment.

At latitude 17 North one can hope.

Who you're talking to?
It's his right hand.

Or rather his aide, Freddy Sjöström.

No, not Teddy. Freddy.

No unfortunately Ms. Heidelstam.

Excuse me? Oh, Weinestam.

I'm sorry, we don't have time for any
new assignments at this time.

What's that?

Well adjutant, it's about a murder
that no one believes happened.

- Because there's no corpse.
- Murder without a corpse?

- That's just my expertise.
- So exciting.

- For me who love thrillers.
- I'm coming right now. What address?

I live at Ribersvik, Hallstahammar 930.

What's that? Ribersvik.

That's all, see you tomorrow. Thank you.

You're out of your mind. You promised to
not take any new assignments.

Didn't you hear? It's just my expertise.

A murder without a corpse.
And one who loves thrillers.

- The murderer?
- No, Ms. Weinestam of course.

Surely a wealthy landowner.

What about me? - You?

You'll stay here and won't take
any new assignments.

That's what you think.

That's right.

- Here you go.
- Thank you. You staying long?

Probably. - I wonder...

- Did something happen?
- Happened!? I'm through with this.

That ghost...

The ghost?

Anybody here?

Blood... Just what I thought.

You can't be that cruel!

I swear I....

Nobody here to help you!

Hello?

First part of the radio theater
'Murder in the Bath Tub'.

Directed by Carl-Otto Sandgren.

Murder? In a Bath Tub? Unlikely.

Just what I thought...

- Who are you?
- Freddy, from Hillman's bureau.

How nice! Welcome! - Thank you.

Please sit, but give me the brush first.

Brush? - The one over there.

- Oh that one?
- Yes, you see the chambermaid quit.

She spilled jelly on my finest carpet.

Jelly?

I wonder...

I'm so glad you wanted to help.

Thank you.

You see... the whole thing is,
a very delicate matter.

- I'm beginning to see that.
- The hard thing is always to,

to get to the bottom of it all.

Oh, I dropped the soap.

But Mr. Adjutant! Are you...

There it is! - Thank you.

Freddy, it seems you have X-Ray vision.

Just what Captain Hillman use to say!

I'm usually the one who
solves the cases for him.

- Like the case of the red mannequin.
- The red mannequin!

Tell me! And brush my back a little?

- Brush the back?
- Yes, the back.

And tell the story? - Yes do tell.

Git...

The blue rider...

Hasn't anyone seen him since that night?

No...

He's disappeared. Could be
traveling I guess.

The boss called the federal police.

- We finished for today then?
- Yes, want to look at the new horses?

- That'd be nice.
- We can take my car.

Looking good. Nice horses this year.

Yes but not as many as in past times.

Sending flowers was ok.

But dark roses? - Old habits Kerstin.

My flower shop has a standing order.
10 for a kiss, 20 for a slap.

- Can't stay angry at you for very long.
- Isn't that excellent?

But perhaps not for Douglas. Hi there.

- Talking about me?
- Can't talk about horses all day.

They're soon here. - I see.

- Did you watch the unloading?
- Some fine dressage horses for you.

But... Kajsa!

Kurt? Are you here?

- I thought you lived in Italy nowadays.
- Can't get away from Strömsholm

I rent some rooms at the veterinary.
And you're taking classes?

As you can see...

Yes, because John just went abroad.

Yes I read in the newspaper.

End the exercise!

Lieutenant Nelson!

Go!

Halt!

Loose the halters!

Release!

That Chestnut have
an aptitude for dressage.

There's a horse with a saddle.
The white one over there.

Nelson get that horse with the saddle!

- Who's been sloppy?
- I think I recognise it.

I don't think that horse is from here.

That's the blue rider's horse!

- It is!
- There must have been an accident!

Arrange a search party!
Nelson, bring the horse here!

Saddle up!

Mount!

Henrik, take the river area. - Roger.

Forward!

Anitra. Anitra!

What's with her?

Maybe it was your whistling.

Whistling?

- Not a sign yet?
- But we found something else.

Champion goes wild as
soon as Kerstin whistles for Anitra.

Maybe he's trained to. - Trained?

That's right...

Someone whipped the horse at the
same time as whistling that call.

I see...

Some horses gets scared
just seeing a veterinarian.

Then it wasn't an accident with
Champion kicking Douglas...

It was an attack!

You yourself ride Champion.

And it's your dog Kerstin.

This is damn creepy.

You're just seeing things
that isn't there. - Kurt!

- Search the grove over there.
- Roger.

Alright girls, forward.

- Where are you going?
- To look in there.

A rider who's been thrown off
isn't laying in a house.

No harm in having a look.

He's been murdered.

What did I say?

- Blue rider was murdered that night.
- Just as we thought.

But how did he get to the cabin?

Calm down, the murder carried
him on his saddle.

Hidden under the blue cape.

The cloak was gone when the
corpse was found.

Who are those shady people? - Shady?

They're riders from Strömsholm.

Strömsholm? Is that close?
With the 'Blue Star'? - That's right.

Oh how horses are nice.

Does adjutant Freddy ride? - What?

Just asking if the adjutant rides? - No.

But adjutant...

Sorry, it's the old kissing trick.
I must stay hidden. Rule number one.

I see...

Freddy.

Freddy!

Hi...

Is this how you say no to jobs?

May I introduce Ms. Weinestam
and Ms. Hillman.

Related to captain Hillman? - Wife.

How nice! The adjutant has told me
such nice thing about him.

How he helped Freddy solve the
case of the red mannequin.

- Glad that someone solved that riddle.
- Right.

We'll be seeing each other, Freddy.

We have things to talk about. - Kajsa...

What's with her?

Was she angry? - I don't think so.

Or jealous...

Release the dogs.

- You had problem at the obstacle?
- I don't know what got into him.

I should've warned you, he got scared
by a gunshot there a year ago.

A gunshot?

Memory like a horse they say.

- Who took care of blue rider's horse?
- He's at the stables.

- Can I ride it?
- Sure, tell Jonsson I said so.

Thank you, that's nice.

I would be grateful if commisar Dahlgren
made this as discreet as possible.

Certainly. But we shouldn't suppose
that the guilty is at Strömsholm?

Let's hope not...

Come in.

Hello Samuel. - Hi.

- May I present pathologist Samuelsson.
- We've met each other before.

What's the theory then?

You'll do the theory. I keep to facts.

They say he was alive
at least 20 minutes after being shot.

But could he have been riding that hurt?

Yes, but dazed and shocked of course.

So there was some truth to
what Ms. Weinestam said.

Elly Weinestam? - What did she say?

But how handsome Freddy is!

Just like my third husband! - Third?

- He's on the picture over here.
- Oh that one? 47-48?

No, 50-57. With the sweet eyes.

Oh him.

- Poor Rickard.
- How did he die?

He got thrown off a horse.

- Let's take a ride!
- Do we really have to?

Look! The blue rider!

Yes! Don't you see him?
He disappeared in the forest.

- I didn't see him.
- I swear I saw him Freddy!

Just what I thought! He's a ghost!

- But where are you going?
- To track the ghost!

Oh how exciting!

Have you found anything?

Hoof tracks, he was here.

How skilled Freddy are.

But how strange it looks.

- Must be a one-legged horse.
- One-legged?

- It's an old native american trick!
- I see.

- What's this?
- That? It's a common toy here.

- 'Track the rider'.
- Should be forbidden!

It's in the way of detective work.
This is confiscated!

What's this kids?! Stop it!

The treatment has worked nice. - Good.

- I was almost worried for the thing.
- You can be calm now.

Good day again Ms.
Any more horses need saddling today?

- Yes, the adjutant can pick one.
- I see, follow me.

If it's a lively animal you want,

I can suggest Black Devil.
- No no. Isn't there something smaller?

Small animal?

In horse size of course.

It's nice of you to check up
on the foal so frequently.

I'm often here anyway, and I know
how much you like him.

He's going to be special.

And he's mine. Douglas and Kerstin
won't take him from me. - What?

When Douglas marries he owns Ribersvik.

- By some stupid will you see.
- Won't it be enough for both of you?

I don't want any alms from my
half brother and his spouse.

But isn't Kerstin sweet? - Sweet?

She knows what she wants and
makes sure she gets it too.

This is what I call a sport. - Freddy!

He insisted on getting the Mud Crawler.

That's it.

Dear Freddy, what happened?

- Were you thrown off?
- Mud Crawler went out of control.

- Maybe it got scared of the anthill.
- Poor Freddy.

It's not that bad.
A man with my job is used to taking risks.

Tell me. Are you sure
the blue rider is a man?

Absolutely. I can tell from the name.

I'm happy we have adjutant Freddy on it.

I feel safe.

Nice thing.

Why are you here?

- Testing a horse's memory?
- A horse's memory?

I will use blue rider's horse.

As a witness in this case.

But a horse can't be a witness! Right?

- But it was over there he lay.
- Maybe so, but he was shot here.

Hold the horse please. - What's that?

Hold the horse. Since you're here
you might as well make yourself useful.

What is it between you and
Elly Weinestam by the way?

Elly?

She... She loves crime stories
and then she called me.

And that's enough reason to rip her off?

In the middle of betraying your boss.

Who said rip off?

He could have been standing here.

Why would it be a rip off?

Any court will see it that way.

Dear Kajsa.

Please answer me.

- It's got nothing to do with you!
- Tell that to the state police.

�rgren is coming.

I see, �rgren is coming.

Good day Ms. Hillman.

Hello Kajsa! - Hello Sune.

In the middle of a murder case as usual,
but you have it solved I guess?

Not exactly, but I think I found the
shell from the killing shot.

I'll be damned. 9mm.

Same ammunition we use at the school.

Just what I thought.

Watch out, Kurt's going to shoot.

Yes, the target is in that direction.

Shut up kids. Another perfect round.

A foul mouth isn't easily washed.

There you go, a hit.

These old service guns are like
nuns, rusty between...

- I don't like this, it's embarrassing.
- It's routine.

- Lieutenant Nilsson!
- Prize shooting underway as ordered.

- Good, are there much left?
- No, the last round just finished.

Listen up! This is commissar �rgren
from the federal police.

He's got something to say.

Due to the circumstances I must ask
you to turn in your service guns to me.

Would you step forward one at a time?

- Circumstances? Hell does that mean?
- Nothing to argue about.

Here you go. The one I used today.
This is saddle master Douglas Weinestam.

But it's not my gun, I borrowed
it from ensign Anderson.

Then where is your gun?

This sounds stupid, but it was missing
from my desk earlier today.

Sounds more interesting than stupid.
When did you last see it?

We rarely use them, it was months ago.

- Are you missing ammunition as well?
- No, but there were 3 shots in it.

That's serious.

You should have reported it at once.

Of course. But I couldn't get
hold of colonel lieutenant at the time.

- The gun was left in this drawer?
- Where it has always been.

'Shall be placed at an
adequately safe place.'

Yours is in a safe then? - Of course.

Weren't you in my desk last week?- Me?

For those forms? - Yes of course.

- What the hell do you mean by that?
- Just asking if you saw the gun then.

That's one hell of an insinuation,
we all know where you keep the key.

To be fair, it seems we all have
had access to the gun.

- Then there's the question of a motive.
- Silly. Who here would shoot him?

You for example.

Explain yourself. - I happen to know
that you owed him a lot of money.

He helped you buy your last
racing horse. - Demon?

Who fell after you bought him?

Isn't it my own business
if I lost a lot of money?

About motive, we can talk of you
too Douglas. You knew him all too well.

- Where are you going with this?
- The big scandal 20 years ago.

Let's finish what we've started.

The blue rider, Rutger von Sch�ffer,
was a good friend of your family?

But one day your mother left your father
for him, and your father shoot himself.

You were 13 at the time, and I
bet you swore to get revenge.

You're lucky we're in uniform!

Boys... What's up with you two?

We're supposed to have fun tonight.

Saddle master, I apologise.
Thank you for tonight.

Wait Henrik. Never mind them.

- You know I'm always on your side.
- Leave me alone!

- I'm sorry Git, you're a good friend.
- Don't touch me!

What now? Bye.

I didn't mean it like that, wait!

Why is he always so unbalanced?

What do you care.
Douglas is as much to blame for it.

Freddy is like my blessed uncle Pontus.

He didn't like horses either.

- And he died a natural death?
- In a way. He was hit by a tractor.

Tractor? Who was Elly married to
the first time?

To Adolf. He was a man's man I tell you.

Our time was all too short.

Six months, then he drowned
in a cup of coffee.

Coffee? - He choked on it.

On the subject, she's late with
our coffee. - Who?

Didn't I tell you?
Ms. Hillman found me a new chambermaid.

Who's that then?

That's Felix Aron. He was number two.
He's almost the one I miss the most.

- What happened?
- See the rifle over there?

He cleaned it one night. It was loaded.

A series of,

unfortunate unfortunates.

That's right. Please put it over there.

- And empty the ashtrays.
- Yes Ms.

- Here you are Freddy.
- Thank you dear Elly.

"Here you are Freddy.
Thank you dear Elly."

But Freddy! - I'll help!

Thank you Ms.

You're welcome, little adjutant.

Good night my love.

Sleep well.

I'm getting scared Douglas. - Scared?

- Why would anyone harm you?
- I mean for your sake.

First Champion, and now your gun.

- The murderer has two shots left.
- Don't worry, I'll be fine.

Hey Kerstin, when you were with Henrik?

Yes? - How serious was it?

Why keep digging into old stuff?

- It's been over for a long time.
- So you loved him?

- What's with you Douglas?
- Can't you answer?

Yes. I was in love with him.

- Is that such a big thing?
- Not at all.

- He's a successful skirt chaser.
- Douglas...

Maybe I shouldn't have asked.
But you should have told me.

Have you told me everything?

Maybe not.

Yes? Come in.

Could I borrow that instruction book
we talked about?

Of course, I've brought it out for you.

- That's nice, thank you.
- Some night reading.

- I'll sleep on it. Good night.
- Bye.

Why are you in London John Hillman!?

You're out walking this late Kajsa?

- You too I see.
- I always take a night stroll.

- Know who I bumped into just now?
- The blue rider?

- You saw him too?
- Yes, and I don't believe in ghosts.

It could only mean one thing.

Someone took the blue cape before
we found the corpse. - That's right.

It's the killer riding.

Kurt, that evening,
who had the opportunity to shoot him?

That's just what �rgren has asked all
day. Everyone.

Everyone there. Everyone who wasn't.

Why must it necessarily be
someone at Str�msholm?

That thing with Champion doesn't
have to be connected to this.

- Good night.
- Good night Kajsa.

Ms. Elly Weinestam on Lady Pie.

Ready to start.

Lieutenant Berggren on Val�r. Canceled.

Ms. Weinestam... Ride!

Next rider.

Lieutenant Burman, Str�msholm, on Cesar.

That's damn good.

A sissy, but she has nerves of
steel when riding.

She rides like a real man.

- Murders like one too perhaps.
- You're out of your mind.

She hired me to catch the killer.

That's just why. To hide it.

Think about her 3 deceased husbands.

The riding accident. The coffee.
The tractor and the rifle.

Those got nothing to do with this case.

Horse monkey!

Wasn't that whipping a little
uncalled-for?

There we go.

One has to take good care of Jeanette.
She's a loyal companion.

Parat, be nice and take her.

- Why did you never get married Kurt?
- Is it a must?

Be honest now.

Want me to tell you a secret?

I never got over how John stole you
right before my eyes. - You're joking.

No, I assure you.

Look, there he is again.

What the hell.

Henrik?

There's the horse, and in what a shape!

- What the hell happened?
- Someone locked me up over there.

- Who.
- I thought blue rider, but he's dead.

Hello! Where's Parat?
These damn Swedish saddles!

What's with you? Have you seen a ghost?

Maybe we have Henrik.

Next contestant. Ms. Renman, Str�msholm.

On Champion.

She's riding too tame.

Maybe so, but at least
she doesn't have to use the whip.

- That's clearly a real jumper.
- A jumper?

It's Charm�r.
The Saddle master's best dressage horse.

- Dressage? That's what I meant.
- Oh.

Where did you get this this?

That? I found it. - Where?

In a bush where the corpse was seen.

At the murder scene? That's strange.

I'll keep it as it happens to be mine.

I wonder...

There weren't any finger prints on
the white horse's saddle either.

And nobody saw when the horse
was brought out of the stables.

But why the masquerade.

Maybe the murderer is looking
for a new victim.

Propose it's not the murderer riding.

Maybe the rider is trying to
lure the murderer in.

Look what a nice team!

- God how cold the water is!
- But it makes it feel nicer afterwards.

- Using the rope today too?
- No fun without it.

You're funny.

- I wouldn't dare it in those rapids.
- That's what makes it fun!

- Is it nice?
- It's wonderful!

- Come here!
- No, I'm too careful.

My god. The rope burst.

Help!

Help!

How's it going? Will she be alright?

How the hell did this happen?

- The rope burst?
- Burst? The hell it did!

Burst? The hell it did.

No, Freddy. The question is why Elly
wants to murder you.

With her old methods nonetheless.

- Horse accident. Choking on coffee..
- Stop nagging!

You made me choke on the coffee!
And anyone can get thrown off a horse!

- Freddy dear. Help me with the tractor.
- Coming!

'Freddy dear'. There you go,
murder method number 3.

Number.. number 3. Run over by tractor.

Wasn't Pontus his name?

Can engine expert Freddy
help me with the reverse gear?

There was once a man named Pontus,
he died a pitiful death...

Just crawl on in under there and
you'll find the gadget.

It'd be easily done, but you see I'm on
the trail of the killer and,

we'll see each other another day. Bye.
- Bye!

I think I've seen Freddy before,

wasn't he the one called skirt chaser
Freddy, expert at scamming women?

Skirt chaser Freddy, how exciting!

How charming he is!

Charming?

- Who's that?
- It's only me dear.

- I got so scared.
- I heard what happened.

Promise me not to use
the rope when swimming anymore.

If kurt hadn't been...

- If kurt hadn't been...
- Try to go back to sleep.

I have terrible nightmares.

Now I'll dream about you.

If you only knew how much I love you.

And I you.

Good night.

Kerstin. Do you remember
my old whip, with the silver rings?

I lent it to someone during
a lesson, but who?

- I don't remember. Wasn't it Henrik?
- Was it?

I don't know.

- Why do you ask?
- No reason. I just want it back.

We'll close the window.

Bye.

- What are you doing here?
- What's it to you?

Tell me instead why pose as
the blue rider.

- What do you mean?
- I saw him riding,

and there's only one man who rides like
that. Saddle master Douglas Weinestam.

Where did you get the blue cape?

Alright. I found it under a bush
in the forest.

- I had the idea to lure the killer in.
- Bravo Don Quixote.

- And you've caught him of course?
- Yes. But mostly thanks to a whip.

In a few hours during individual riding
I will have a rendezvous with him.

Maybe we'll see each other.

Yes. It's me.
Maybe you see how I know it was you.

The crime lab just replied.

- All guns were equally innocent.
- But Douglas gun is still missing.

And loaded with two shots.

Your man in London has had greater luck.

Hillman finds guns at bottom of
river Thames. Ready to take down gang.

Isn't he cute, and all on his own.

- What was that?
- Sounded like a gunshot.

Two shots!

Wait here!

Catch him! Catch him!

Kajsa!

How is it? - The blue rider!

- Did you see where he went?
- He just disappeared.

Can you stand guard as I report this?

- But what's happening?
- A new murder.

While everyone was on individual riding.

Kerstin.

What is it Kerstin?

Douglas gun.

Test shooting shows that both blue rider
and Douglas were shot with this gun.

But why?

And at the same we have an attempt
on Kerstin Renman's life.

You knew blue rider kept a diary?

Let me see.

The last page has been torn out.

The killer has thought of everything.

But he forgot that there's
something called contact writing.

Tonight I witnessed
a horse getting whipped, disgusting.

When the culprit noticed me he
fled but dropped his whip.

Oddly enough, this belongs to
Douglas Weinestam.

And the next note, the last one.

I now know why the horse was whipped.

And who the perpetrator is.

So that's why blue rider was killed.

He was silenced, and Douglas was next.

After he knew who the killer was.

That would mean two silence kills.

And everything was aimed at Kerstin.

But what has Douglas whip to do with it?

- Damn Freddy, he scared me.
- Why are you here?

I saw the light and that it might
be blue rider making plans.

Maybe you're the blue rider after all.

No, I'm just out practicing a little
with the Mud Crawler.

- In breeches, boots and..
- All gifts from the generous Elly.

That's called a rip off Freddy.
Where's that nice whip?

I found that myself!

- On the hat rack perhaps?
- Where Elly found the corpse.

- At the murder scene?
- But the saddle master took it.

The one who got murdered. It's his.

- Why does that matter?
- Why? Where is it now?

I don't know, don't ask me everything.

- Henrik.
- Hi you.

- I'm going back to Stockholm next week.
- Back to all the boring books.

Poor Git, you'll miss life
here at Str�msholm. Bye.

5..4..3..2..1

Ride!

I know it's hard for you Kerstin.

But you always have to try and forget.
Get over it and move on.

Forget... You think that's so easy?

But you have your own life.

One day.. - Let me be..

Next rider, Lieutenant L�we.

In German saddle.

I'm waiting for you.

5..4..3..2..1

Ride!

5..4..3..2..1

Ride!

Next Rider, number 17.

5..4..3..2..1...Ride!

- That girl rides like the devil.
- Did you see where Kurt went?

- He was riding at the track.
- The track. Thank you.

Kerstin!

Are you alright?

He missed.. It went past me.

- And you didn't recognise the horse?
- No, everything happened so fast.

Where did you get this whip?

It's Douglas old one, I took it from
the stables when I rode out.

What about it?

If I'm not mistaken, this could be the
key to the whole mystery.

Elly... Sonya... Elly... Sonya.

Elly... Sonya.

Lieutenant Nelson clocked 14:56.
And is placed third.

What about L�we. I was sure he'd
beat Nelson today.

He's been gone 17 minutes now.

Here he comes!

L�we!

What's with you today?
No top placement.

We fell at an obstacle and had to
search for her in three fields.

- Git, throw a coat on her please.
- What's this now?

Has Ms. Renman canceled?

I was attacked.

- Attacked?
- I saw it at a distance.

Someone with blue rider's coat and
armed with a club. - This one?

- It lay by the fourth obstacle.
- One exactly like that.

Oh that. That's an innocent toy.

They're used by the kids at Str�msholm
when playing 'Track the rider'.

Thank you. That's good.

We've searched the area but haven't
found neither cape nor rider.

What does the microscope say?

Git is more trained than me at it.

There's horse blood on the whip.

And everything point to
the hairs being Champion's.

Something at least.

But Sune, that silver ring by the cabin?

You mean... this one.

Hidden.
It fits perfectly.

So what's left is,

who borrowed the whip from Douglas?

Who whipped Champion?

And who murdered?

And who wants Kerstin harmed?

I don't think it's an officer.

But we shouldn't discount Elly.

Elly? - Yes.

With Douglas gone. Ribersvik is hers.

- I'm being followed?
- Followed?

It's constable Boman.

He's a bit clumsy. But very rarely
does he kill anyone.

You've been given a bodyguard.

Read it for yourself.
This was on her nightstand.

After this murder, the estate was hers.

Only one thing left.

To silence the private detective who...

Silence the detective who had
it all figured out.

That's right. The detective, that's you.

- This is only a book! It's nothing...
- Would you please clear the table?

Yes countess. - Countess?

- Yes Ms.
- Well then Freddy.

Any new leads on the killer?

- It's pointing in a certain direction.
- And what direction is that?

- The boss of Str�msholm.
- It isn't possible.

- He's got an alibi.
- That's exactly why.

Freddy is joking!

Like all great detectives, Freddy
wants to keep it a secret.

I can give a hint.

- Cher a sade la feme.
- Cher a sade la feme...

Cherchez la femme!
You think it's a woman?

Watch out for the crazy countess

The blood hasn't dried out yet...

These terrible songs she always sings.

- Oh that, it's the latest hit song!
- Oh I see.

I thought, skilled weapon expert Freddy,

might be kind and clean my rifles?

- Hunting rifles?
- Over there. And the guns too.

You never know what will happen.

What could happen one knows very well.

Think of Felix Aron who
quickly went to heaven.

What terrible hit songs Ms. is singing.

Hit songs? It was an old revival song.

Oh, well I don't like it.

You won't clean her rifles will you?

How bad can it be?

- You're such a dimwit.
- Dimwit? You always exaggerate things.

Look for yourself - Put it down!

It's totally safe...

Help! What was that!?

Just what I said! Kill method number 4!

- Let's pack it up and leave.
- You're right Sonya, she cares only of,

is murder and men and barely even that.

What was that? Sounded like a gunshot?

And it was too!
A parting salutation countess!

Oh...

Farewell countess.

Farewell little adjutant.

I'll say Ms. Vivianne.

The murdering isn't over here.

Blue rider is riding.

And everyone's in danger.

- No...
- They are.

But visit me tonight and you're safe.

Is that so....

She shouldn't speak. The blue rider
can take her for all I care.

It'd be a charity gift.

God damn her dry buns.

Oh...

But for someone with a slick mouth as
Parat, they slip down anyway.

See to it that there's coffee in
the flask. He'll be back for it soon.

I'll get to it.

Ms... Vivianne.

- Can I offer you a sweet?
- Yes please.

Thank you very much.

- They're tasty.
- Yes!

I can't allow myself to be afraid.

If I let go,
the anxiety creeps up and...

No.

I'm not afraid anymore.

I'm not afraid.

Kerstin Renman.

Yes. Of course.

I'll be there at once.

It was Kurt Forsberg.
He wanted to meet me in the chapel.

He's solved the mystery.

Constable Boman, I'm off to the chapel.

Kurt.

Kurt, is that you?

Kurt.

Kurt! Where are you?

Kurt.

Not you Kurt.

Kurt. Yes, everyone will think that.

- Elly?
- That's right. Elly.

I'll stop at nothing to keep Ribersvik.

But it's yours already.
You're the only one left.

- You have to go anyway.
- Why?

But why...

Git!

Yes. Are you surprised Kerstin?

That it was I who made away with
blue rider and your dear Douglas.

It wasn't my plan from the start.
I only wanted you.

Blue rider had himself to blame.
He saw me whipping Champion.

We set up a meeting.
And I shot him with Douglas gun.

Easy to steal. Harder to shoot.

I thought of the glass. The blood
stained glass in Henrik's hand.

And his kiss. And your slap.

You remember, don't you Kerstin?

Maybe you see why you have to go.

Douglas understood.
He too went to meet with me.

He sat there posing as blue rider.

But I had two shots left...

It was easy to get away
in his own disguise.

And now.

It's finally your turn Kerstin.

- You're sick! You must...
- Do away with you!

When you're gone Henrik will go back
to me! He's always been mine!

Until you...

Don't think you'll get away.

Git. I have a gun, I'll shoot.

I see...

You have a gun Kerstin...

It's loaded.

- Git!
- But do you dare shoot?

No... it's not in you.

Look how your hand is shaking.

You're not a killer.

But I can!

It's she who has to go!

She must have really hated you.

Poor tomboy.

Thank you for alerting us Kajsa.
It was in the nick of time.
