All language subtitles for Bäckström .S01E06

Haqvin and Daniel were best friends.

You killed her and hid her in your underground store.

- It's Daniel and Haqvin. - And the third one?

- He's on TV with you. - Tomas Eriksson?

- He could be thrown there or ... - In the deep sea trench.

- Do you recognize him? - From TV. He was here with a woman.

Either you become much richer here and now or you die.

Please... forgive me...

What are you doing here?

And then they answered you?

Yes, they said they would kill me if I didn't close the investigation -

- on the armoured truck robbery. I refused.

Then he fired, and one shot hit me there.

And I threw myself down behind the sofa.

So there you are. One shot at him, and one at him.

And did they both die on the spot?

I had no bullets left in the magazine, so I rushed him right there.

And pushed him like this, and he hit the back of his head on the stove.

And fortunately, or unfortunately, depending how you look at it -

- he collapsed.

And now he's lying in hospital in a coma.

I think it's quite miraculous that you're sitting here with me today -

- doing a live broadcast. So you come home late from work -

- and discover three armed men. How did they get in?

They broke in.

And now, after all that, how do you feel? - It bloody hurts.

My arm.

I can beleive that.

Wait wait. Listen, wait.

We shouldn't be applauding that two people have died.

Can we congratulate you on being back in service?

Why were you suspended?

Because some fucking clown suspected -

- that I had something to do with the Russians.

- Which is now disproved. - Who the fuck?

Who the hell cares, we have to get to work.

Ankan, you don't have to be involved.

You have your own investigation to run?

–Bäckström, do you want a chair?
-Yes, thank you.

The wolf, the bear and the fox.
Those are their scout names.

And one of these furry animals is probably guilty of Jaidee's murder.

AKA Jada Jing.

Jaidee took Jada Jing's identity after the tsunami.

We have her digital trail.

She leaves Bangkok and moves to London.

After a while, she moves to New York, where she has her base.

In 2011 she boards a plane at JFK. And it's ... June 17th.

- To Arlanda.
- On the same plane was Daniel Johnson.

Two rows behind.

We've followed his trail as well.
Where Jaidee, or Jada is -

- there he is.
At least until midsummer 2011.

Yes, this is where the trail goes cold.

In other words, we've got a time frame for the murder.

Daniel will be back from Vilnius this afternoon.

- Then we take him in for questioning.
- And Eriksson?

As an old scout buddy of both suspects ...

So they know he's under suspicion.

Who the hell cares, he's going to show up here voluntarily soon.

-Why? - Come on, Hwass, we'll take care of the wolf.

Here you are having an
ice cream with Jaidee ...

a woman you absolutely
didn't know.

No, the only time I met her was on that sailing trip.

We were only out for the day.

Daniel and I used to be out for a week but he ...

This was the only time.

- So Daniel was there?
- Yes, he took the picture.

But I didn't meet him after Jaidee died in the tsunami either.

Which she didn't. Her death was staged -

- so they could claim on her life insurance.

That's complete news to me. I had no idea ...

- When was this photo taken?
- This was summer 2004.

So it's six months before the tsunami.

That's what you say -

- it might just as well have been taken in 2005 or 2007 or 2009.

Why not 2011? Midsummer weekend 2011.

What were you doing then?

How the hell should I ...?
It's eight years ago!

Jaidee was murdered that weekend.
She was shot in the head -

- and her body hidden in your store on Ofärdsön.

Can you tell us what the hell you were doing that weekend?

I was sailing.

Along with Jaidee and Daniel?

No.

I was alone.
- No alibi then?

Give him quarter of an hour, then we'll go in again.

No, he can stew for a few hours.

I have to go home. I fucking hurt ...

Did the picture get damaged as well?

Boris is still in a coma and we're still looking for the Tsar.

Well ...

I have time to help with the murder investigation if you need resources.

I have everything I
need, thanks.

So ... how did they really get in?

You said they broke in but I don't see any marks on the door -

- and the alarm didn't go off.

I couldn't ask them before they started shooting.

Sorry, but that's your own fault.

You've the one who taught me how to find holes in statements.

But you haven't learned not to draw hasty conclusions.

- It was just a simple matter.
- You misunderstood me just now.

Someone I can't trust isn't a resource -

- they're a burden.

Edvin?

Won't he let you in? He usually doesn't when she's here.

- When she's here?
- Yes, Tina.

Who is Tina?

Excuse me, Daniel Johnson? Chief Inspector Björk.

We would like you to come along to the station for some question.

We confront him with knowing how they faked Jaidee's death.

Once he acknowledges the fraud, we go on to the murder.

- What are you doing here?
- I'm Daniel Johnson's representative.

But we're not quite done here yet, so if you ...

And you're staying?

- You knew he was coming.
- Yes, now we have all three together.

The wolf, the bear and the fox.

Wolf. Bear. Fox.

- That's who we are.
- Life and death.

Forever.

This is your wife, who was shot at close range with a bullet to the head.

Let's hope she didn't suffer too much.

- My client has no comment on anything.
- It's awful to see, isn't it?

What he knows for sure, and the truth he has lived with all these years -

- is that his beloved wife died in 2004 in the tsunami.

The woman who died in the tsunami was called Jada Jing.

Exactly, the bar girl had a name. She was later taken for Jaidee.

I'm going to interrupt here.

We need to discuss this with the police who handled the identification there.

Yes, you could
talk to your dad, couldn't you? -

- Wasn't he the head of that unit?

Or, as you might say, in charge.

But I understand if you don't want to crap on his men's heroic efforts.

On Boxing Day in 2004, after the tsunami, you saw the chance -

- to screw the insurance company out of a substantial amount.

If this is some alleged insurance fraud -

that's supposed to have
happened in 2004 ...

... the limitation period for it has expired.

But not for crimes committed around midsummer 2011.

And the term of murder never expires.

Are you accusing my client of murder?

Then I demand that you present your evidence and detain my client.

Either that ... or you let him go.

Okay, for our next session, I want answers to the following:

Where and how.

Which should lead us to whom.

And, hopefully, why.

If you ask me, we can't exclude Haqvin's boat.

It was suspiciously tidy and clinically free of any kind of clue.

- A little strange. -Eriksson has boats, doesn't he?

- They're far too new. - Daniel doesn't have a boat.

Unless he borrowed his dad's.

- Yeah ...
- Police, we called a while ago.

And I said it isn't
convenient right now.

No, but we only have
one brief question.

Hi. We're from the police, we would ...

Did your son Daniel borrow your boat in the summer of 2011?

I understand that this must seem utterly inconceivable for you.

You don't want too get your son tinto trouble.

You got him a boat.

But it was something for both of you together.

And sometimes he came and borrowed it, didn't he?

And in 2011, didn't he borrow it then?

At midsummer.

I don't know if I ought to tell you about ...

Just say what you want to say.

- About the gun.
- What? What gun?

I had an old saloon gun.

For seagulls.
After he borrowed the boat, it was gone.

Ok, but did he say anything about where it ended up?

I didn't want to argue about ... things.

Wait ... You have to understand.
Jaidee was everything to him.

She managed to get close to him like no one else.

Except Karin, his Mum.

That Daniel could have hurt Jaidee ...

No, it's unthinkable.

Niemi, we have a search warrant for Sven-Erik Johnson's boat.

Get back to me as soon as you hear something. Good.

Hwass, you were pretty good in there.

Yes? Okay. Haqvin wants to talk again.

Do you think he's stewed long enough now?

I'd like to correct the information I gave you earlier.

I ... said I didn't see Daniel so often after the tsunami -

- but I saw him once, on his yacht.

Along with Jaidee.

- And when was that? - Mid summer 2011.

Just like you said.

I saw them putting out together.

And you're sure it was Jaidee?

Yes.

And then you went out
to the archipelago -

- and celebrated
midsummer by yourself?

No. I couldn't believe what I was seeing -

- so I decided to follow them.

Follow them where?

His boat was much faster than mine, but I soon realised -

- where they were going.

Okay, and where was that?

Tomas Eriksson.

He has a summer house there, further up on Lake Mälaren.

Ok, and then?

I heard them quarreling.

Look, you need to make her see reason.

This is driving me nuts!
You've got to fix it now!

It'll all go to hell
for us otherwise.

What kind of boat is that?

Yes it's me.

So you were reunited. The three little sea scouts.

- It was nice to see you. - Me too, me too.

It feels like forever since we were ... together.

Yes. What was our name? The wolf, the bear and the fox?

-Yes.
- Daniel, now we have to ...

Yes. We should ... We have a little ...

Yeah, sorry. I'm not going to ruin your whole midsummer.

But it was nice.

Have you still got that one?

- Yes. It doesn't go away.
- No.

That was always the whole point.
Wasn't it?

Sure.

- You haven't seen her, ok?
-No.

- Good.
- And you haven't seen us either.

So you must never tell anyone about this.

- You understand what I'm saying, yes? -Yes.

We must always be able to trust you, Haqvin.

I understand.

Forever.

And then? What happened after this tearful reunion?

Yes ... I put out. Sailed off.

- And you expect us to believe that?
- Yes, that's what happened.

I think you helped Daniel solve his problem.

Something Tomas Eriksson asked him to do.

I don't think you sailed off, I think you shot Jaidee in the head.

Well then, are you planning to release my client now?

We had a brief talk with your dying father.

He told me that at midsummer 2011 you borrowed his boat.

When you came back, this gun was missing.

Also missing was a seaman's bag that belonged to your dad's grandfather.

Your scout friend Haqvin also told- us

- about your midsummer argument over money.

Jaidee wouldn't go on living a lie -

- but threatened to reveal everything, so you had no choice -

- but to point the gun barrel at her temple and pull the trigger.

He can't throw accusations around!

Yes he can,
he has the right to interrogate.

Where does he expect to get with this?

- To you.
- You pulled the strings, Eriksson.

You were the front
man for the plot ...

...devised to get at the fraud money–

- and that was now about to be revealed.

I'm sitting here as a legal representative.

Your client here seems to have perked up a bit now.

Jaidee wanted to squeal and that couldn't happen -

- so you told Daniel to kill her.

Are you accusing
me of incitement?

We can call it
murder if you prefer.

Daniel couldn't go through with it so you had to kill her yourself.

Absurd. You're accusing me without the slightest evidence!

I'll come to that in just a moment.

Niemi, for fuck's sake tell me the boat has given us something.

No, Bäckström. No...

Yes ... I shouldn't think it will either.

I'm convinced that one of the three hired someone to torch the boat.

The only one with such connections is Eriksson.

He may have done it to help Daniel.

- Or himself.
- Or Haqvin.

Then there were probably traces left on the boat.
Dammit!

Yes, they're getting rid of them now.

Wait...

Let's see.

They must have gone from here where the boat lay -

- and then all the way around down to Eriksson's jetty.

All three of them
probably stood there ...

... watching as Jaidee
went below deck.

Then one of them went down and killed her.

And Jaidee's body ended up here on the island of Ofärdsön.

Which means they must have got rid of the weapon somewhere here.

Somewhere deep.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
- Deep-sea Trench.

The deepest point of the bay. It must be here somewhere.

But exactly where is known only to the killer and one other person.

Who?

Get dressed now, son -important assignment waiting.

Yes, I'd very much like my bag.

Thanks.

Oh! Hi. Itt's been a long time.

- Everything okay with you?
- Yes, great ... And you?

Yeah, everything's fine. Except for all this.

I'm sorry, honey. I'm running bloody late.

We'll be looking for a possible murder weapon in Lake Mälaren.

Yes, on the island of Ofärdsön. Early tomorrow, yes. Okay bye.

Come on!

- How are you?
- I feel sick!

Seasickness is like motion sickness. I was carsick as a kid.

My dad always said, "Look straight ahead and focus on a fixed point."

- Did it help?
- Did it crap.

I threw up like a calf.

If you need to chuck, chuck in the other direction..

There, 50, 60 meters straight ahead. There it is.
Deep-sea trench.

Okay.

Yes, then we'll see how many of the scouts show up.

I think that's Haqvin coming.

You can't suspect someone just because you're angry with him.

- What do you think?
- I don't know what I think.

But I know what I'm hoping for.

Boat approaching at high speed.

Unable to identify driver.
Repeat: Unable to identify driver.

Now, fuck it.

We take him now. Come on.

Now!

Well, look what we've got here then!

Come on.

We might as well take it off at once.

- Take it easy ...
- Welcome.

You're a little smoked now, aren't you.

Fuck, I can't handle this shit again!

Then you made your
way to Ofärdsön ...

... and hid the body
in the underground store.

On the way there or coming back, you dumped the rifle in the Deep Sea Trench.

I want to confess.

I hid the weapon -

- And I hid the body -

- Do you think I could kill the woman I loved most of all ...

... for money?

So who killed her?

Herself.

She couldn't stand living the lie.

So she took her own life.

The angle suggests murder, but you can never rule out suicide.

But why hide the weapon if it was suicide?

Listen. I have where, how, who and why.

There is no evidence that Jaidee was suicidal.

On the contrary, she was an energetic survivor.

So their alleged motives are weak.

On the other hand, we have 24 million motives.

- You don't think it's Daniel. - Yes, for fuck's sake.

- But not on the motive.
- No no. Not money.

Yes, but it doesn't matter. All the evidence we'vr gathered carries a lot of weight.

We must show the whole Swedish people -

- That your dad and his DNA-guys were incompetent.

And you're up against Tomas Eriksson.

That guy is an expert on getting killers off.

It'll boil down to his word against ours.

Then there's one whose word hasn't been heard at all.

Jaidee.

Exactly. And it's for her sake that I'm bringing this to court.

Did you hear someone say "Come in"?

- How's the investigation going?
- It's cut and dried.

We're only waiting for a trial date. How about yourself?

Making progress. I found some stuff that might interest you.

Thanks, but I don't have time for that just now.

It's about to a woman born in Sweden, a Swedish mother, a Russian father.

Her name is Kristina, but she calls herself Tina.

When she was 15, the family moved to Russia -

- where the father came in contact with the mafia, built up a massive debt -

- which she then inherited. Read it for yourself.

Somehow she managed to get herself back to Sweden -

- used her maiden name Bonde and started a new life.

But failed to get rid of the Russian debts.

Or, more specifically, the tsar himself.

And you told Tina about our operation.

You gave her the spare key to your apartment.

Yes, I should have known better.

- Don't be so hard on yourself.
- Again, you misunderstand.

I should have realised you'd figure this out sooner or later.

No, keep it. There are no copies to worry about, so be careful with it.

- There's someone here is looking for you.
- Hello! Hello, Edvin.

We're supposed to go out and celebrate the end of the investigation.

Thanks to our little master detective here. Do you want to come along?

- I'd like that.
- Sure, okay.

- Fine.
- Let's go.

- Hey, little fella. How are you?
- I'm fine.

What do you want then? Banana split or sweets?

Banana split.

Come on and celebrate
the little guy here.

Beer and softs and bananas and balloons.
My treat.

Bloody hell, look: The boss is flapping like a hooked fish!

You: don't forget to lock up before you go home.

Turn off the lights as well.

Announcement of verdict in case B–1394–18.

The Stockholm District Court
finds that the prosecutor ...

... in the matter of Daniel's culpability ...

... for the death of Jaidee Kunchai Johnson ...

... failed to prove this beyond reasonable doubt ...

- and therefore reject the prosecutor's claim.

Regarding the charge of violating a grave -

- Which Daniel admitted, Daniel Johnson -

- is sentenced to two years in prison.

Little one, if you absolutely had to drag me and my men through the dirt ...

... In front of the whole
Swedish nation ...

... you should at least have made sure ...

- that the accused was convicted.

But you ... certainly can't seem to help being a disappointment.

What a fucking shit!
You mustn't take it to heart.

No, I used to do that.
In my previous life.

Okay.

The court says there is reasonable doubt.
- What are you saying?

Are you quite sure Daniel killed her?

I haven't come to ask for forgiveness.

Because I know you can't give me that.

- But I want to explain ...
- That isn't necessary.

I have done my research now, which I should have done before.

Yes, you may have all the facts ...

... but you have no idea what it was like for me.

I was stuck in that country, with a debt I could never pay.

And so I took a chance on a new life.

But you had to keep paying for your old one.

I had no choice.

And what choice did you give me?

They said they were just going to bribe you. Not...

So you assumed I could be bought?

It never occurred to you to think about what the consequences would be ...

... if I refused and put up a fight?

- I had to choose.
- Mm. And so you chose yourself.

And your new life, instead of me.

Yes.

So do I get my punishment now?

Or can I get up and leave?

You can try.

It was murder.

Daniel said he loved her. That he didn't care about the money.

But he simply couldn't let her live her own life without him.

But if you really love someone, you let them go.

Evert!

Evert!

Evert!

Sally!

Sally!
