All language subtitles for Beck 02 - Polis.polis.potatismos_english

… And I'm particularly pleased to
show off our quiet little Malmö...

This temperature should
make you at feel home.

I, my associates
and my dear wife, Charlotte...

...Given the complex conditions
that currently prevail

in the international business world,
we not only feel satisfied...

with today's negotiations,
but I'm also proud...

Oh, that hurts...

Yes. Yeah.

Did you get a sunburn?

Bullfighting? Ugh, horrible.
Wait, I'll change phones.

It gets terribly expensive here.

Free? The travel agent's phone?
It's at their expense then.

No, I'm a bit busy with work.

Yeah. Yes, yes. No.

Yes, please call again.
On Thursday. Goodbye.

Yes, this is Månsson.

Call Skacke. I'm available.

Backlund? No, no. My God.

Send Skacke. l'll come later.

Go back a little.
Stay away. Go up on the sidewalk.

Skacke.

Who let the press in? -They were
here from the beginning... at the bar.

Backlund should be here somewhere.

When did this happen?
- About half past eight.

You don't know what time it was?
There's a clock up there.

It's fast.

Your watch, then?
- It's wrong too.

What was he wearing?
- A green jacket, I think.

What else was he wearing? Pants?
- Yes, he was wearing them.

Are you sure?
- It would have been a bit strange...

if he wasn't wearing pants.

Did he have a gun?
- If he didn't, who else did it?

The second bullet went out here.
We searched outside...

but no luck. It must have
landed in the canal.

We have a hand print here, but
it may be too blurred to use.

We have a boot print in the flower box
but it isn't very clear.

Good!
- Hi, Dad.

...Financier Viktor Palmgren
has been shot in a restaurant.

An unknown man entered the dining
room of the Savoy Hotel in Malmö...

This is Mum's.
- She swapped it for the espresso machine.

- Aren't you going take off your wedding ring?
- Oh, yes...

The perpetrator jumped out of
a window and disappeared before...

Did you hear this?
- It's down in Malmö.

- Hi. What are your instructions?
None. The victim has been hospitalized.

Is Skacke here?
- Yes.

What happened?
- A man has been shot.

Viktor Palmgren.

Skacke.

I must question all of you.

Have you heard anything? Has he survived?
- I don't know. ID, please.

ID, please.
- Enough is enough.

Don't you understand who we are?
- No. That's what I'm trying to find out.

Do you want to hear a funny story?
A man went to the doctor.

When he took off his pants,
he started to fart terribly.

So the doctor asked...

"You have to start early if you want to be a master."
Drink up. Skål!

Why do you only spend time with other cops?
- It's easier that way.

It's easier for Papa Beck to maintain
camaraderie in the unit.

A policeman never complains
about another police officer.

Listen. Then the doctor asked, "How
long have you suffered from flatulence?"

"Suffered? It's the only pleasure I have."

I've heard that before.
- About ten times.

I've got to go now.

Sooner or later,
the whole police force will fall apart.

With this leadership, I should quit.

He's always moaning about changing jobs.
- It's an old story.

There was an incident,

a firefight.
He ran into a colleague...

who died.

Goodbye.

Let's not talk shop anymore.

Let's have
a proper hangover tomorrow.

Now we're all together for once.

I can't do it. Bodil wakes me
at 5:00 every morning.

I'll take care of her tomorrow.
You're off the hook. - Åsa!

What the hell... at this hour!

A hundred kronor that it's the big cheese.

- Who's that?
- Police Commissioner Stig-Åke Malm.

Another academic who slipped in through the
back door. But if you have contacts...

You won. It was Malm. He wants to
talk to me right now.

Is it about the Malmö murder?
- He didn't say.

Then I suppose you could call it the Malm killing.
- Make sure you keep the hat on!

Isn't Månsson serving in Malmö?
- Yes, he's on duty

but I want you to go down and
handle it as soon as possible.

Everything suggests a political attack.
- That's not my area.

Your job is to clear up a murder.
- Attempted murder. He's not dead yet.

It's a sensitive topic.

There's an order from upstairs
that you take charge of it.

What's Palmgren involved in?
- Many things. Arms trafficking...

Have you been drinking?
- I was at a crayfish dinner.

...waste exports, pharmaceutical industries.
Not fully legitimate business practices.

From a Swedish perspective, his contacts with certain countries are awkward

- to say the least?
- Exactly. Take the first flight tomorrow.

Where were we? You must handle this.
- Is it going to blow up?

It's just the tip of the iceberg.

The 10:30 run?
- Yes. I noticed a man...

l like brisk weather too, but he stood
on deck for half the journey,

and he had a package under his arm.

A little later
he threw it overboard.

A package? -Yes.
Green jacket? -Yes.

I have to call Denmark.
- Sure, follow me.

Police. Copenhagen airport.

No, I haven't seen
anything suspicious.

No, it's quiet here.

No more departures this evening.

You can leave the door open.

That way, we'll have a real
tracking centre.

Do you have any theories, Benny?
- What was the motive?

But first we have to concentrate
on what happened.

Whoever shot Palmgren
had only one chance in a thousand

of making it out of the
dining room afterward.

Up to when the shot was fired
he acted like a fanatic.

Was it a political attack?
- Right. But then what happens?

He escapes - but then he doesn't act
like a fanatic. He panics.

Yes?

Yes, yes.

Now we can go home to bed.

The case isn't ours any more.
They're sending down a man from C.I.D.

Your old boss... Beck.

What does this mean?
- "Deviation from various clocks...

at the moment
of the commission of the crime."

Backlund.
- From Nyköping?

So they dumped him here? Congratulations.
- Welcome aboard.

The perpetrator fled abroad.
The fingerprints aren't registered.

The physical description is incomplete.

Should we close the case?
- Was that where he disappeared?

Look.

Hampus Broberg, 48 years old.
Director of the Palmgren Group,

living in Stockholm.
His secretary, Helena Hansson.

Mats Linder, 30. Director, here in Malmö.

Jürgen Hoffmann and his wife.
Head of the shipping department.

Charlotte Palmgren, 33. Housewife.

And some Latin Americans
and the interpreter.

Nobody can give a detailed
description of the perpetrator.

Inspector Beck, your room is ready.

One witness remains to be questioned.
Edvardsson. Proofreader for Arbetet.

He was too drunk to be questioned.
- We've got a match! A half an hour ago

after you called Kastrup Airport in Copenhagen...
- Hey, Benny.

He must have been at the airport all night.

He flew to Bromma Airport in Stockholm.
He looked suspicious to the stewardess

but the police didn't check out the plane.
The description matches.

It landed at Bromma about half an hour ago.
His name was Bob Smith.

I want to call Stockholm.

Gunvald Larsson. Hi.

Bob Smith? Are you sure?

Yes, yes. All right. We'll check.
Bob Smith...

Police. Radio 1220, are you there?
- 1220. Come in.

We have to go to Bromma.
We've got time to eat first.

I want a sausage!
Police, police, mashed potatoes!

Hey there!

The bus from the Copenhagen flight
didn't work out. -What happened? They blew it?

The patrol car didn't get there on time
to check the passengers.

That's impossible!
- No it's not. They simply didn't get there.

I wasn't the one in charge of this.
- But dammit, you should have called right away!

The Solna police could have sent a car to Sumpan in five minutes. What happened?

They were detained on the road
and had to issue a warning.

Karl Kristiansson and Kurt Kvant.
Car 3 from the Solna police station.

Kristiansson and Kvant?
So that's it! I'll give them hell.

I'm haunted by these jerks.

Bring them here. This has to be sorted out.

Yes? A complaint? But what the hell...
Yes, yes. Give it to someone else.

Life's a bitch.

Hi. I've checked all the Bob
Smiths living in Sweden.

How many?
- None.

Can you survive with a bullet in your head?
- It depends on where it's located.

Sometimes if it's lodged in the
skull, the patient can live a normal life.

But in this case, it's doubtful.

His wife Charlotte should be here.
- She left.

Where? -Home.
Home?

This is dreadful.

No!

The bullet lodged in the cavity
right behind the eye.

very close to the brain stem
and its delicate structures.

The patient is in the acute phase, in poor health and with blood pressure problems.

It could go badly if we try to wake him,
so you'll have to wait and see.

How long can the acute phase last?

It depends on whether the bullet turns
and tears the tissue

and creates a swelling. The
first days will decide it all.

I'll come along shortly.
- Excuse me... Hello?

I hope
I didn't cause any problems.

It's already been taken care of.
Yes, that's mine.

It's an advertising freebie.
I'm a visiting specialist in blood diseases.

The entrance is on the cross street.
- Wait a minute.

Aren't we awful?
- It's certainly damned nice.

Take off those ridiculous trousers.

Yes?
- Police.

Can you wait a few minutes?

I just have to...
Just a second.

Welcome. Here I am. Step inside.
I'm sorry you had to wait.

Detective Månsson.
This is Inspector Beck.

You didn't recognize him.
What did he look like?

It happened so terribly fast.
I didn't react until afterwards.

He could have shot us all.

He looked ordinary, quite common.

He was wearing a green jacket
and pants in some kind of synthetic material.

You noticed that?
- I'm interested in clothes.

Was the dinner a business meeting?

They had a meeting
earlier in the day. I wasn't there.

Do you know what the meeting was about?

Business. I'm not too familiar with it.

Were you all at the dinner?
- Yes.

No. Not Hampus Broberg's secretary.

Helena Hansson?
- Perhaps. I hadn't met her before.

Are you acquainted with any
of the others? -No.

Director Linder, for example?
- No, only in connection with the business.

Do you live here year round?
- We have a villa in Switzerland as well

and a flat in Stockholm.

- Victor planned to relocate some operations to Durban.
- In South Africa

But it's so uncertain there now
that we'll probably sell them.

Damn!

An x-ray of a bullet.

A ghost.

And no weapon.
Wonderful.

What about the proofreader?
- Edvardsson.

He lives in Möllevången.

Ruler...

A .22? That's odd.

Who the hell kills someone with a .22?
- Nobody. Especially if it's not premeditated.

Sirhan Sirhan killed Robert Kennedy with a .22.
- That's true, Benny.

But he was desperate
and fired shots wildly all over the place...

and it was a chance hit.
- He was an amateur anyway.

The Americans think that the proof
of a professional gunman

is that he doesn't need to use
more than what's absolutely necessary.

Malmö, isn't Chicago.
- Not yet. Möllevången...?

3 Möllevångstorget.

But there were two shots.
A killer always shoots twice to be sure...

like the assassination of Prime Minister Palme.

So it was a hired killer?

How the hell, do I know?
- That makes two of us.

I can't say I grieve for Palmgren.

Did you know him?
- Personally? No, not at all.

But I've never been
able to like that type of person.

How come?

People for whom money means everything
and don't hesitate to use any means to get it.

You sat at the table next to him. Did you
hear what the conversation was about?

Yes. It certainly wasn't on an elevated level.

The ladies were talking about a woman
who had surgery for her sagging breasts...

which ended up looking like two tennis balls
right under her chin.

Palmgren and his wife talked about a party
in New York where Diana Ross had been.

Someone called Mackan bought
champagne for all of them all evening.

Anything else? Anything more?

One of the types, a German...

his daughter was living with a negro
and he thought it was a real bummer.

Then there was the Palmgren's speech.
Now that was a misery.

A misery?

I was just going to order a Tom and Jerry
when Palmgren started to deliver his speech

and then the entire staff disappeared
on a break.

From what I could see,
all they did all evening was to bloody well show off.

and all I had to drink were the dregs from the whiskey.
The whole thing was simply a mess.

You didn't happen to see the weapon
the murderer used?

I only caught a glimpse of it.

It was a small one

with a long barrel and a kind of roller.

A revolving chamber.

Thank you.
- You're welcome.

Are you here again? Damned terrorists!
Get the hell out of here!

Go to hell,
you damned communists!

Shove off!
- Fucking lackey!

What is it? -Read this. The Palmgren companies are devastating the forests.

Do you think it's still the '60s?

Hello there!

Can you wait a moment?

Directors Linder
and Hoffman will see you now.

Both of them? That's not so good.
Or maybe it is.

Welcome. Thankfully C.I.D. is already working on it.

How did you know that I was on my way?
- Through your boss. - Malm?

Police Chief Stig-Åke Malm.

You're sure that you didn't recognize the shooter?
- Absolutely.

Does the name Bob Smith
mean anything to you?

We're grateful that the police have put
their resources on the case. We're worried.

So are we. Viktor Palmgren may
be the first in a series of attacks.

Exactly.
We must think of our families.

Who assumes primary responsibility
for the Palmgren Group?

Probably Charlotte.
There aren't any children or other relatives.

What I mean is...
Do you expect to succeed Viktor Palmgren?

That's a matter for the Board.

Director Broberg in Stockholm has been
with the company longer than you,

yet you have
a more privileged position.

Did Palmgren distrust Broberg?
- Much too much.

Do you think Broberg is unreliable?

Have you had any disagreements with him?
Yes.

That's a strictly private business matter.
What does it have to do with this?

Then we'll have to talk to Broberg himself.
Do you have any objections to that?

Excuse me?
- Nothing.

Your company Aero-Shipping...
You suggested that there was a disagreement.

Palmgren believed that...
Do you understand German?

Palmgren believed that only our aircraft
should be made available to the Group.

He didn't want us to charter
them out to other companies.

His business practices were sometimes
old-fashioned.

We're based in Copenhagen,
Budapest, Athens and Colombia.

Is this what you discussed
with your guests from Venezuela?

Confidential. If you want to talk about that
in Caracas, it's okay with us.

What does all this have to do with the attack?

Environmentalists dislike the Group's activities.
Is there any reason to ...?

No! They don't even shoot seals.

A .22.

A Ruger.
Do you have the license for this?

Of course. But we never
expect to use it.

What's your relationship to Mrs. Palmgren?
- I know her.

How well? Even though you don't want to answer,
I'd still like to ask the question.

What do you want to know?
- Are you having a relationship with her?

Yes.
- What kind of relationship?

A sexual relationship. I sleep with her sometimes,
something even a policeman can understand.

When did you see her last?
- Two hours ago.

Is she good in bed?
- Are you crazy?

Smart guy. Telling the truth when he knows
a lie could be exposed.

None of them recognized the killer.

None of them? Maybe that's
why they were so nervous.

Shouldn't we have taken the .22?

We don't have the bullet.

Good morning. How good of you to come.
- Good morning.

You were supposed to check out the foreign
passengers from that plane, weren't you?

Yes. - But we got there too late.
- I've gathered that.

You were in Sundbyberg when you
were alerted. Sumpan isn't listed here.

But it takes a good five minutes to drive
to Bromma, a maximum of ten.

What's your car?
- A Volvo.

A bass travels at two miles an hour.
It's the slowest fish.

It could easily travel the route
faster than you did.

Why didn't you arrive on time?!
- We had to caution somebody on the way.

A bass could probably have
come up with a better explanation.

What was the caution about?
- Abuse of an officer of the law.

A man riding by on a bicycle
shouted insults at us.

And that prevented you from
carrying out the orders you received?

The Chief of Police himself said that
anyone taunting an official

must be prosecuted immediately.

The Chief of Police is famous
for his official statements,

but I doubt that even he could have said
anything so stupid.

Well, what were these insults?

Police, police, potato pig.

You were parked in Sundbyberg.
You had just received the alarm

when a man cycled past and shouted
"Police, police, potato pig."

You had to take action against him and
therefore you couldn't follow orders.

Is that true?
- Absolutely. -Yeah.

It's a lie! Every word is a lie
and you know it too!

You stopped at a hot dog cart!

Then a man rode past on a bicycle,
and somebody shouted.

But it wasn't the man who shouted but his son
sitting in the baby carrier.

And he didn't shout "Police, police, potato pig"
but "Police, police, mashed potatoes!"

He's only three years old
and can't speak properly yet!

How did you find out about this?

The man couldn't stand
being bawled out there on the street

by two uniformed cavemen
for over a quarter of an hour

for something a three-year-old said.
Especially since there were witnesses.

I've just apologized on your behalf
for more than twenty minutes!

Yes, but what...

"Fuck off."
I won't say it again.

"Buffalo Scout, FLE Texas Ranger;
FLE Little Ranger"...

"Herters 22, Llama, Astra Cadiz,
Arminus, Rossi, Hawes Texas Marshal"

"Ruger ..." Will it never end?

Is the rifle important when we have the killer?
- Bob Smith might not have taken the hydrofoil.

Nothing links the man
who took the hydrofoil to Copenhagen

with the one who took the plane for Stockholm.

Physical description.

This could be anybody.

It even looks like Benny.

Are you related?
Yes, in a way.

Anna!

Yes? Yes.

Now it's no longer attempted murder.
Palmgren is dead.

Arminius? Are you sure? Thank you.
- It's on our list.

But isn't that some kind of ...?
A sports pistol, the kind sportsmen use.

No, sportsmen use a...
For now we'll ignore the sportsmen.

You're sure it was an Arminius?
- Yes, one hundred percent.

She might as well have said an air gun.

Arminius? It isn't very common,
but a few of our members use it.

Tony!

Here you are.

Thank you.

It's for my private use
so I'd like to get a receipt.

Hello?

What's the meaning of all this?

These are all the Arminius pistols in Malmö.
The bullet could have come from any of them.

Where there's smoke there's fire.
- It's just an hypothesis.

What about this one?
- Erik Svensson. He wasn't at home.

Charlotte Palmgren and Directors
Linder and Hoffman have left the country.

Then we have to bring in Broberg.

Aren't you going to answer it?
- No, I'm on holidays.

Oh to hell with it!
- Hello.

Hello. - Wait a minute.
It's Martin.

Yes...
No, it was nothing.

Stop.

No, it was nothing. Continue.
- Not you!

Hampus Hansson Broberg and Helena Hansson?
Okay, I'll...

I'll see to it.
What are we doing? We're fucking.

What's going on?
- Mr. Broberg isn't here.

Are you Helena Hansson?
- No. Who's asking?

My name is Lennart Kollberg.

Can I come in?
- Yes, certainly.

Why are you asking if my name is Hansson?
- I thought you were his secretary.

I'm Mr. Broberg's secretary
but my name isn't Hansson.

And you weren't in Malmö the day before yesterday?
- No, I never accompany him on his trips.

The director had a secretary with him.
Her name was Helena Hansson.

I don't know anyone with that name.
But there's a travel secretary.

A travel secretary?
- When did you last see the director?

This morning. He was here
for about twenty minutes.

He left his briefcase behind,
so he'll probably come in at 17:30.

Do you know where he might be now?
- At home. In Lindingö, 23 Tjädervägen.

Does he have family?
- A wife and daughter. But they're in Capri.

They left yesterday.

Good morning. Lennart Kollberg,
Criminal Investigation Department.

I'm looking for Mr. Broberg next door.
When was the last time you saw him?

We don't spy on our neighbours here.
I can't help you.

That must be boring.
- Maybe for you, but not for me.

Who sent you here, anyway?
- Nobody. I came here...

under my own steam.

Who is it?
- Police. We want...

Ow! Damn it to hell!

What's going on?

What has he done?
What the hell has he done?!

Taxi!

Hello?

Hi. Kollberg, C.I.D. Can I...
- Do you know what "Go Ahead Deventer" is?

"Go Ahead Deventer" or "Young Boys"?
- No.

It's a football team.
Do you know where they come from?

Possibly. "Go Ahead Deventer"...
Deventer is a city in Holland.

Only the C.I.D. would know about that kind of stuff.
- Are they good?

I wanted to use the phone. Do you know
Director Hampus Broberg?

Oh yes. Tjädervägen.
If you live there, you've got lots of money.

Do you have anything on him?
- No.

I wanted to ring C.I.D. headquarters.
There should be someone on duty there.

Lidingö Station here. There's someone here
who wants to have a few words.

Who is it?
- Larsson. Gunnar Larsson or something.

Hi, Gunvald. Kollberg here. How are you?

How the hell do you think I am? Overwhelmed
with knife fights, robberies and free-for-alls...

and a mad lout who's about twelve years old...
and almost no one on duty here.

Melander is in Värmdö. Rönn went to
Arjeplog on Friday. What the hell do you want?

The Palmgren affair? Never.
I've had enough unpleasantness already.

Nagging me about it is senseless.
It's not my job.

What's that? Tjädervägen?
Did you say Tjädervägen?

On Lindingö? What number?

Okay, I'll take it.

You people who feel at home in the wide world,
do you know what a travel secretary is?

Isn't that a refined word for a hooker?

Formerly known as wives, but as
travel secretaries, they're deductible.

Do you need one?
- No, I'm looking for one of them.

Check with Vice. They've got a list of
every single whore on their computer.

Hi, Sis! Let me in
or I'll kick down the door.

How do you have the nerve to show up here?

Is the jellyfish at home?
- Henry is on duty. Why?

Dammit to hell.
- What do you mean?

Dammit to hell. Where did you get
this vile silver monstrosity?

We bought it in Lisbon,
on a cruise.

And it cost ...?
- A few thousand. Why did you come?

Police Constable?
- Assistant Detective.

Dad would turn in his grave.
You haven't even made Superintendent.

Did you send the other policeman here?
- No, but it's about the same thing.

I don't spy on my neighbours.

Stop showing off.
You're as curious as a cat.

Tell me what you know about Broberg.

Otherwise...
- Otherwise or what?

I'll take two constables and go over there

and say that my sister is so stupid
that I've got to ask others for help.

I don't have a gun.
- Your .22 calibre Arminius.

What's going on?
- We want to know where you got your gun.

And what you did last Friday evening.
- I was in Copenhagen with Karin.

Really? So Karin is your girlfriend?
- Yes. What kind of gun are you talking about?

We have your firearms license.
- "Arminius 551-3419/92."

"Licence holder 630523 - 0030:
Erik Svensson." Where's the gun?

You... I'm not Eric Svensson.
My name is Tomas.

His family went away yesterday.
- I know that already. What else?

He sold his wife's car
and then got a broker to look at the house.

How do you know he was a broker?
- I heard parts of the conversation.

Broberg handed over the keys.

and then he lit a fire in the fireplace.
It burned for several hours.

You would've made a good cop.
I wouldn't have said a word

if you hadn't blackmailed me.

It may well be ten years
before I see you again.

Promise. Goodbye.
Say hi to the jellyfish!

Don't say anything to Erik
that Thomas and I were...

They're best friends.
- We won't say anything to Erik,

but we'd like to know where he is.
- At the hospital of course.

What's he suffering from?
- Hepatitis C.

Can you be sure
that he was here last Friday?

He's been in this state for three months.

Is that his father?
- Yes.

Here she is - Helena Hansson.

That girl, I know I've seen her before.

Who is it?
- Police.

I've already told you all I know.

This is about some new
information. It won't take long.

Did you know Palmgren in the past?
- No.

Did you know anyone else in your party?

Only Broberg. I've already told
this to the police.

But you knew Broberg in the past?
- Yes, he had hired me before.

In what capacity were you in Malmö?
- As his secretary of course.

You're no more a secretary
than I'm the Queen of Sheba.

I'm not from the C.I.D.
I'm from the Vice Squad.

We've got a whole file on you. You've
been caught fifteen times in ten years.

At least you can't keep me here.
I can travel wherever I want.

Sure. But how much was your fee?
How much did you keep for yourself?

You think I'm so stupid that I...
- I can count. 5,000 kronor tax free.

You can't search my stuff without permission.
I know my rights.

I know your rights too.
- Okay. Was there anything else?

How the hell can a girl be a cop?

What the hell are you waiting for?
Don't think you can hold me up.

How the hell do you think I feel?
I'm on holiday. Broberg is in hiding.

He's showing up at the office at five o'clock.

Both Lind and Broberg were sitting
at the table when Palmgren was murdered.

How can they be involved?
- I don't know.

- You can ask Beck.
- Beck...

You have a son too.
- Yes.

We didn't find any guns
in Erik's apartment.

We asked Karin and her...
Karin had no idea

that there were any weapons.
But I don't know if we can trust her.

Would she have a reason to lie to us?
- No. Why would she?

No, we're wondering about that too.

Did you know that Erik had a weapon?
- Sure.

Do you know where it is?
- It's in a box at home.

In a box?
- The box that it came in.

It should be there.

Hey, you!

You should have a piece of paper to wave
or else they won't believe you.

An invoice always works.
Hurry, it's two minutes to 5.00.

Here's the prosecutor's warrant
to search the house.

Zurich, 18:50. This'll teach you.
- You take care of this.

Run up the stairs. I'll wait here.

Stop!
Gunvald, he's going down!

What the hell.

Gunvald, he's armed!

What the hell!

Why didn't you shoot?
I didn't have a weapon.

Help! Let me out!

Shit!

Police! Drop your gun!
- Are you the police?

Yes. Drop your gun.

Take it.

Fucking idiot.

Let me out! I'm claustrophobic.
- Who isn't?

But I don't whine about it.

What's happening?
- Shooting a movie.

We should protect these people,
not detain them.

We had reason to detain Broberg.
- Talk to Beck. It was his idea.

Where's Beck?
- He's staying in Malmö.

Call Malmö. Savoy. Beck.

Inspector Beck... telephone.

Wasn't it understood that the investigation
should be conducted discreetly? - Yes.

Is wild gunfire in Stockholm discreet?
- No.

Are we going to arrest two prominent
citizens who are certainly innocent?

I wouldn't say that Helena Hansson
is such a prominent citizen.

But you have two Venezuelan
embassy officials in Stockholm.

Don't worry about that.
We'll take care of it.

It will cause irreparable damage if some
of Palmgren's activities are revealed.

Who would suffer this irreparable damage?
- Who do you think? Society of course.

If the government fell,
the consequences would be catastrophic.

For whom? For whom?
- Have you read today's newspapers?

Yes, I saw today's paper.
- Then you understand the consequences...

Wait a minute.

There's a colleague from the security police right beside me. I wasn't aware that they were here.

Can you explain why?
- This is a political assassination.

I don't want to have foreign security forces
swarming all over the place.

Plus, security is not your concern.
Your job is to find the killer.

Who says he will strike again?
- I do. Have you looked at the political angle?

We're looking at it from all angles.
- Look at it from another one.

According to the information we received,
the box was thrown here.

Sometimes we help the police when they're
searching for stray packages of drugs.

The currents and winds help us estimate
where it was thrown overboard.

But in this case we're looking
for where it went ashore.

Here. It must have floated ashore
somewhere south of Lernacken.

A distance of two miles.

Two miles?
- 3.5 kilometers.

I was wondering whose car it was.

Is that your boat?
- Yes. Are you interested in buying it?

No, I live in Stockholm.
- It's good to have a boat there too.

I did as kid.
I'm also selling the shop.

I'm unemployed. Did you want anything?
- No, I just...

There are great views here.
- Yes. And they're free.

Arminius.
It just confirms what we already knew.

But at least it's proof.

There's something here.

"B.S." Bob Smith.

That's what I said. Hired killers.

A gun smuggled in from a foreign country.

And they'll strike again.

Where do we go from here?

Månsson.

It's Malm.

Yes?

No.

No.

No.

No.

Linder, Hoffman and Broberg.
They must know who was threatening them.

Broberg is in custody in Stockholm.
- And Broberg didn't know a Bob Smith.

Then we'll just have to put
the squeeze on him a little.

Police? I should have guessed.

Does it have to do with the Palmgren murder?

Can I look at that pen?

I just want to look at it.

I think I recognize the name.

Is there anything I can help you with?
- Is Mercurius Medical part of the Palmgren Group?

Yes, in Milan. Exports and imports
...medical equipment.

Blood?
- Yes.

This guy is in Frankfurt.
This girl we had here in Lund.

She died the day before yesterday.

The worst thing was that the imported blood used
for the transfusions was contaminated.

Officially we don't import from countries like that?
- Not officially. It's been re-labelled.

Re-labelled?
- By some middleman or other.

Have you changed your mind?
- No.

Have you been here long?
- All year.

When I lost my job
I wanted something to do.

Where did you work before?
- I was a warehouse foreman

and then the Palmgren Group bought it
and closed the company down.

Everyone had to go.
Now I've taken early retirement.

It's nice here.

Yes, those are my initials.

- B.S.
- Bertil Svensson.

Erik and I bought the weapon together.

Where did you find the box?

Actually it's kind of the opposite...

You could say that the cover found you.

How did you find out that Palmgren
imported contaminated blood?

I once saw a hoopoe
here on the beach.

I did some research.

I know some German, and there was
a lot about it in the German newspapers.

Mercurius Medical.
It's one of Palmgren's companies.

You were at the shooting range that same evening?
- Yes.

It was pure chance. I cycled past the hotel
and had the gun with me.

Then I saw Palmgren sitting there
with all those other top people.

I just went in and shot the bastard.

Somehow it was obvious
the way it happened.

Then you took the hydrofoil to Copenhagen?
- Yes. I threw the gun in the strait.

And I sat half the night
at Kastrup Airport waiting to go somewhere.

I had enough money
for a single flight to Stockholm.

Then I wandered around all day
and took the train back here.

Bob Smith?

That was a character I read about
in a detective story.

You're from around Stockholm?
- Roslagen.

Shall we go, then?
- Yes.

What do you think he'll get? Ten years?
- He'll manage.

Looks like Broberg won't be charged.

A bunch of well-paid lawyers
will prove that nothing illegal occurred.

The taxi is on its way.
- Thanks.

And Palmgren's foreign business associates will
keep on dealing with Hoffman and Linder.

The only difference now is that Charlotte
will be living happily in Switzerland

and they'll all have a bright future
ahead of them. Bye. -Bye.

Benny has written up a report
about an assault against a police officer.

His finger?
- Yes. But I tore it up.

He's still got a lot to learn.

Your taxi is here. Bye.
- Bye.
