CASE CLOSED

MONICA MÅNSDOTTER, 24 YEARS

NATURAL CAUSES

AN ADDICT AND A PROSTITUTE

IT MAY BE SUICIDE

ACCIDENT

-Good morning. -I've got Monica's report.

-What? -The girl we found in the water.

How did you manage to get it?

Um… I borrowed it.

Look at this.

You have no right to bring this home, you must know that.

Yes, but they made a… an exception because I was there when…

We found her.

They closed the case and I wanna know why.

But there's nothing you could have done.

Yes. I know that.

You should put on your clothes, or we'll be late.

And return that.

♪ If you try to shut us down ♪

♪ We'll show you just how we get down ♪

♪ And just to even up the score ♪

♪ We're coming, kicking down your door ♪

THE NEW FORCE

Åke made me stand with him for an hour and a half outside that electronics shop.

And you know what he says? "Look, you don't understand,

it's the football World Cup."

-But it is the World Cup. -Yes, but who cares? I don't.

But does he ask me that? Never.

-So, Eriksson, you have nowhere to live? -I do.

-So why is your post sent here, then? -I have no idea.

This is a place of work.

-It won't happen again, will it? -Of course not.

Good.

Aren't you going to open it?

Uh… No.

Good day.

-Yes. Shh. -You're a looker, aren't you?

You're coming with us. Come on.

-There we go. -Uh, shouldn't we search him first?

Of course. I was just about to.

Oh, so now you agree with me, do you? You forgot to mention that last time.

The incident with that man…

I think we must establish it was a misunderstanding.

Oh!

Not squeamish, are you?

I can't say it's my favourite aspect of it.

Last month, we picked up 1,300 drunken fools like him just in Klara.

This is the job.

-Take his arm. -All right.

Oh, that's right, I heard you wanna be a detective.

I mean, I also considered it, but… in the end I had to… be more realistic.

But if anyone can get there, it's you.

Do you think?

With that figure of yours, the sky is the limit.

He stole two cartons of cigarettes.

-No, I didn't. -Shut up!

Officer Wallin? I'm ready if you're finished with your…

A gypsy, are you?

You can't run away now, can you?

Huh?

Sore, is it? What the hell are you doing here?

-I thought I might help here, if I could? -Good. Yes. Come in.

You can search him.

Can't you?

Okay.

-The conventional way? -Yes.

Hi.

He's got nothing.

His crotch next.

-But we haven't done that. -Then it's time you do.

No, he…

You won't find anything if you don't get in there.

-But I did... -But nothing…

Christ, do it properly.

You have to lift this little fella.

Didn't hurt you, did it?

Good.

So you saw Wallin, together with some colleagues, use excessive force?

Yes.

Well… courageous of you.

Thank you.

This is exactly what Svärd wanted to fulfil,

challenging or changing the force from within.

Unfortunately, it's a bit more complicated.

It's bad enough that a colleague has reported Wallin, it's also a woman.

So you can see how… it'll make people uneasy.

They'll think you can't be trusted, that you'll stab colleagues in the back.

Didn't you say Svärd wanted...

Hopefully, Svärd is… our next Police Commissioner.

However, that'll never happen if you are all perceived as a problem.

Therefore, I'll ask the question again.

Are you undeniably certain that what's written in the report is accurate?

I suppose I could have… got the wrong idea.

Hi.

Unfortunately, you're too late, the coffee's gone.

-You know you could always make more? -Of course.

Do you know where the water is?

-Yes. -Ah.

Ah, thank you.

So, um… Are you from Stockholm?

No, I'm from Strängnäs.

So then… what did you do before you came to Stockholm?

I used to work as a cleaner at the city hotel.

Big step… into the police.

Yes, but it was tough there as well.

But, uh, there's more drunks here.

Have you mentioned to anyone that I want to be a detective?

Well, is it a secret?

It isn't.

I mean, maybe I could come and see how you work?

Drop by sometime?

-Yeah… um… -Hm?

-Some evening next week? -What about tomorrow?

We have our first night shift, so I'm free in the morning.

All right.

Oops.

-I've been thinking. -Okay.

Could they have missed something by closing the case so soon?

She had more injuries when we found her in the water,

so I'm certain she'd been beaten up again.

Sure… that is possible.

But it's not our case any more, so let it go.

-Hi. One hot dog, please. -Coming right up.

-Do you want one? -No, but thank you.

No, it's okay. I… I've got it. We'll have two.

So, um… you and the detective, I've seen you together a few times now.

I don't feel it really concerns you, but Oscar said he'll help me.

I said I want to be a detective, so he wants to show me how he works.

Did you say Oscar?

And what about it?

Nah, nothing at all.

You can't say that didn't mean anything.

I mean…

You believe that…

He really just thinks that you will be a great detective?

Yes, obviously.

So, out of everyone he can help,

he inadvertently chooses a young, pretty girl.

Okay, you believe what you want to.

I'll pay you back for that tomorrow.

-I'll have a Danish pastry, please. -Of course.

Would you like one?

Uh… no, I had a pretty big sandwich at the station.

We'll take two. And we'll put this on the general police account.

Yes. Thank you.

This is what it's like being a police officer.

When they feel safe, people get generous.

Pastry?

No, I'm fine, thank you. I had a… sandwich before.

I saw you speaking to Police Sister Berg. What was that about?

About our footwear.

Sometimes they feel big. So she's made me wear… insoles.

Someone like her never knows how much it takes…

To keep this world from going to hell.

But I hope you understand.

Hm?

Silence!

Hey! Silence, I said!

Now, this is Miss Eriksson. She's going to question you.

Uh, Constable Eriksson. So what happened here?

You've gone wrong already.

If we interrogate them together,

they can adjust and match their stories to each other.

So what should we do?

Uh, you… you go in the bedroom and question him in there.

-Are you sure about that? -'Course.

Then, Miss, good luck with the questioning.

Go on then, in.

So what… what happened?

Um… well… well, it was my fault. I… I riled him up, and…

I know I shouldn't have done it.

Why don't we bring him in?

If she doesn't want to report him, we have nothing.

-No, but he'll do it again. -Yes.

-Constable. -Good day.

But aren't you concerned?

Do I think it's horrific? Yes.

Am I losing sleep over it? No.

What if she ends up like the woman in the water?

Not much we can do about that now.

Well, there are things we could do.

Uh, it's not that easy… But you will learn.

Hello? Hi.

Uh, hi.

-So you didn't give that back in the end? -Not while Jack's still out there.

No proper investigation's been done. They didn't go to her lodgings.

They haven't spoken to her friends, family or… or anything.

They've closed the case but they know she's dead and that's it.

They don't care that the work isn't done. It's how they operate, apparently.

Well, let's see it.

Read that.

-Hmm. This is really strange. -Mm.

I've got her address.

Thanks for coming with me.

We'd better not lose our jobs if we get caught.

We'll just have to be careful, and not touch anything.

It's over there.

Two rooms. And don't touch anything. I haven't had time to clean up.

So how did you know the flat was available?

I don't quite understand.

A… a friend of ours, she… knows the mailman here.

He mentioned the tragedy.

I hope you don't feel we're taking advantage of it.

Is it, may I ask, only you two in the household?

-Y… yes. -There's no man at all, who'll…

-No. -No?

Well, then.

You can never know what may be in the future, can you? So…

Did you know the girl who lived here well?

No, I never saw her. But… but are you interested?

Uh, you… you had some questions… about the kitchenette, didn't you?

-Oh. Yes! Could we? -Of course. Let's take a look.

Thank you.

You see… it's fairly standard.

Yes, I see. It's much nicer than our previous place.

Oh, is it?

I told you not to touch anything.

I'm just having a look, but we… we're done here now, so…

-What are you up to? -Nothing.

What's the plan, then?

Let the hot one distract me while you steal?

No, we're not stealing.

Let go of me.

Will you let me go? Siv!

God, Carin.

You have to do this right if you want Jack punished.

Convince them to open up the case again,

but you can't improvise like this.

I know. But, Siv, I've tried. No one listens.

Here, look at this.

-You said you wouldn't do this. -There might be leads in here.

But it's not our job, Carin.

But isn't it obvious this should be our job?

She could've fallen because she'd been drinking?

You can't be serious!

Siv, do you believe they would've dismissed it

if it was a rich man in the water?

THE WOMEN AN EMERGENCY SOLUTION

FEMALE OFFICERS QUIT

UP MEN'S SALARIES INSTEAD

DO THE FEMALE OFFICERS NOT HAVE THE RIGHT STUFF?

SKIRT POLICE UNDER FIRE

I just spoke to Chief Superintendent Thulin.

-Mm. -I told him everything was under control.

Did Miss Eckermo or Miss Holm explain why they're quitting?

Um, well, they mentioned they didn't fit in.

They felt that the work environment… was too tough. That was my impression.

And the rest of them?

I'm doing my best to help them fit in.

But that isn't enough, is it?

No.

It's your responsibility to keep them here.

Sure, District Chief.

What about the front cover girl? How's she?

No issues.

-See you later, Jack. -Yeah.

-Oh. -Get out of the way, will you?

-Sorry. -Damn woman.

Excuse me.

Hold on. Wait.

I need to speak with you, please.

-And who are you? -I'm a police officer.

W… hey!

Please! I just want to talk to you.

Are you okay?

Get off me!

-What the hell do you want? -It's Monica.

I'm trying to find out how she died.

They said she fell in the water.

That's not what I believe.

I think Jack murdered Monica, but I need more evidence.

I knew it. Fucking Jack.

Thank you.

Were you close to her?

We lived together. She was my best friend.

Then all of a sudden, she moved out.

How did she afford that large flat?

No idea. She said that Jack paid for it.

Do you know who Solveig is?

She's not her family?

Didn't have one.

But Jack became her family.

So if he found out she brought the police there, then… I don't know.

-Someone that night would've seen her. -I don't know.

-Can you approach the women at work? -What?

-It's okay, you can ask around… -But it's not, is it?

You know if Jack heard I helped the police he'd come after me.

But if you helped me, then we could arrest him.

I don't want to get involved.

Listen, Katina.

Katina… Katina, wait, please.

Do you want Jack to do this again?

I'll try to talk to the other girls.

DETECTIVE DIVISION

Hi.

-Hi. -Oh, excuse me.

I have a whole notebook of questions.

Right, good. Okay… let's have a… a look at those.

Yes, sounds great.

-Oscar? That was the prosecutor. -Yeah?

They don't have full reports.

-Taxi robbery in Jakobsgatan. -No, we've sent everything.

Apparently not all the interrogations.

Do your job and stop fucking around with Miss Sweden.

"Miss Sweden."

I'll leave you to it.

Siv. Siv, wait.

Siv! Wait.

Don't mind him. It's just his way.

And what of that name?

Have you called me that?

I wouldn't do that.

Do you want a medal?

Uh… good luck with the drunks.

It'll be great. Constable Morell.

Wait… I have a tip.

So. What's this tip?

Uh… I…

I thought that I'd lost my police badge before.

Um… and… I thought that a prostitute had stolen it from me.

So… I discovered where she worked.

Mm-hmm.

Well, it's a brothel.

Drugs, procuring, likely weapons too.

Yes, perhaps.

Or not… um…

-Do you have a source? -Yes, I was inside.

You were patrolling?

No. I… went undercover as a prostitute.

Uh, wait a minute.

-Are you being serious? -'Course.

Could I…

Could I… uh, borrow that? So I can write this down.

What's the address?

Um… In the middle of town.

Herkulesgatan intersection. Um… North Klara. Uh… West.

I think I know where you mean.

So that's a brothel now.

Listen, maybe this can stay between us.

It's quite sensitive, as I'm new. It was the first day. I…

Do you know what kind of danger you put yourself in?

Of course. It was really stupid.

I know, but I panicked.

When I tell Fischer,

I'll say it's from someone who works there.

Courageous. Constable Morell.

Thank you.

Brilliant work.

Read how it works.

"Material is delicate. Handle with care."

Mm-hmm.

One minute.

Coming!

Carin. Carin!

-What? -It's my mama.

-Your mama? -She can't see you like that.

-I'll… -No. Shh, shh.

You'll have to hide for me.

-You're joking. -I'm serious, you'll have to hide. C'mon.

-I won't hide from your mama. -Come on, hide. Please, please.

-I... -No, no, no, no. Shh. Shh.

-Right there, yes. I'm so sorry! -But… ow!

Goodness me, Arne.

Do you really think that's appropriate to wear

when answering the door?

I'm surprised to see you.

I'm going to an exhibition this afternoon, so I'm changing your flowers...

-Wait, Mama. You can't come in. -Oh? And why not?

-I'm running late… for school. -Oh!

Okay, then, I'll just, uh… Oh, my. Is Filippa here?

No… What? No, no, no, no. You know that we're not together now.

You know that girls from a nice family such as that are rare. What a pity.

Tell me honestly, have you found another girl?

Uh, I… No, no, no. It's a couple of Filippa's things.

She… she just hasn't collected them. Bye, Mama.

All right. Goodbye.

Sorry about that.

Why didn't you mention you've met someone new?

Because then I'd have to answer a hundred questions.

Would that be so terrible?

When you're hiding in the wardrobe, then sure.

So there's no… there's no other reason

you might not want to mention us?

What is it with… is this some sort of police interrogation?

She's… she's old-fashioned, okay?

What are you saying?

I mean, is there more than just her knowing that we're sleeping together?

You're in the police.

I… I don't think that she'd appreciate that I'm seeing a female police officer.

Uh…

You're ashamed of me?

No, of course not.

Um…

DEAR CAR IN…

I'M SO PROUD

PLEASE GET IN TOUCH. YOUR MOTHER

The first night shift, and there's a major crackdown.

-Hope it goes well. -Yes.

-Hi. -Hi.

-What… what's going on? -Raid.

What raid?

That brothel. The one you told me about.

I spoke to the detective and managed to convince him to shut it down.

What?

Siv, why didn't you talk to me first?

Calm down, I didn't say you were involved.

It's not about that. I was talking with a contact there.

Fuck. I don't want a repeat of Monica.

WEAPON COLLECTION POINT

Here you go.

Next.

Wait there.

Stop!

Go! Get out of here!

Fuck!

Stop it!

It doesn't look like anyone's here. Should we head back?

There might be customers hiding.

What's wrong with me? It won't stop bleeding.

Let's go back upstairs.

Is anyone there?

-Come out. I'm armed. -Wait. Don't shoot.

Wait.

Oh!

Well done, Carin.

Damn you.

Keep walking!

That's a lot just from one brothel.

If the cells fill up, use the interrogation rooms, please.

Ugh! Get off me!

Let go!

Do you hear me?

-Hey, come on! Keep moving. -Can I talk to a real police officer?

I said, calm down!

If the cells fill up, use the interrogation rooms!

Agh!

Close the door.

-What are you going to do? -I said, "Close the door."

Now then…

You like to fight, do you?

Uh, they need you, outside.

You work in a brothel…

…but you don't know who's in charge of it?

-You said I could have a lawyer. -Glasses.

Ah. Twenty years old, no criminal record…

You have your entire life ahead.

Why are you in this mess?

Mm! Cox's Orange.

They must be the best damn apples we have.

Can you remind me? What… what was the penalty here?

Procurement, drugs, weapons, also counterfeit money. Ten years.

I work as a bartender. And I'm not involved in anything else.

-Just in the bar? -Ah. That's a great lookout post.

The very best. It was the bartender.

-The prosecutor would believe it. -If we say so.

-All right then. We're done here. -Wait, no. Slow down.

It's Jack Hellman.

Good!

You finish up here.

I'll go and check what we have on Jack Hellman.

The female officer, right? She brought you there.

-I can't say I'm following you. -The one with brown hair, blue eyes.

Hi.

You have to listen. I really am sorry.

You and the other girls will be released soon.

Did you find out more about Monica?

Are you joking?

Do you fucking think I'll still help? Fucking rat.

-I didn't do this. -You can go to hell!

I don't want to see you again. Get out of here.

Leave!

Sorry.

It was the Finnish government's decision to prohibit the publication

of the novel…

Detective.

Well, how did it go?

Yeah, good. Large seizures. The place is closed.

How did you hear about the brothel?

A tip.

From whom?

I don't know.

-I wasn't informed of that. -Well, if you find out… you tell me.

Absolutely.

Make sure to check the sources in future.

Sure.

I'm doing the seizure report.

It's unbelievable everything we've confiscated.

It's money, weapons, drugs… and a closed down brothel.

Uh, have we… have we captured the man who ran the brothel? Jack Hellman?

Uh… no, I'm afraid not.

Thanks for the helpful tip.

Oh, no worries.

WANTED

Carin!

Hi, I wanted to see you… before my class.

So… how was it?

-You came here to ask that? -No. I thought you might be hungry.

I made a sandwich.

Thank you.

And, I'm sorry, for that…

That fight the other day. I don't want that.

I was stressed, I don't know how it happened.

But that's not an excuse.

-All right. -Miss Eriksson.

Can you handle private matters in your own time?

This is a workplace.

-I'm sorry, that's my fault. -'Course.

-Shh. -I came unannounced… I'm leaving.

-I'm on my way to school. Walk with me? -Sure.

Hi.

You should've stopped that damn raid.

I didn't know about it until it was too late.

Surely you're glad I had time to warn you?

Do I look glad?

-I'm afraid I can't do this any more. -This ends when I say it ends.
