[birds chirping] [clock ticking] [bell dings] [clockwork clatters] [clock ticks] -[door squeaks] -[birds chirping] [door thuds] [Kurt] Despondency breaks off its course.

Anguish breaks off its course.

The vulture breaks off its flight.

[geese squawking] The eager light streams out.

Even the ghosts take a draft.

[grass rustling] And our paintings see daylight.

[leaves rustling] Our red beasts of the ice age studios.

Everything begins to look around.

We walk in the sun in hundreds.

Each man is a half-open door leading to a room for everyone.

[birds squawking] The water is shining among the trees.

The lake is a window into the earth.

[rushing air] [vocalist] ♪ Tram wires ♪ ♪ Cross northern skies ♪ ♪ Cut my blue heart in two ♪ ♪ My knuckles bleed ♪ ♪ Down the tattered street ♪ ♪ On a door that shouldn't be ♪ ♪ In front of me ♪ [gulls squawking] [doctor] There's a... a noticeable difference.

Because you're relatively young, because you're reasonably healthy, it is likely to take hold more quickly.

[Kurt] How long?

[doctor] That's difficult to say.

Uh, there will be moments of disorientation and possibly some more acute episodes... but it is time to start making some adjustments.

Kurt, it's...

It's time to tell people.

[waves crashing] [heavy breathing] [Kurt] Hi, Linda.

Um, I spoke to... Linda, I spoke to the doctor and, um...

I spoke to the doctor, I had to, um...

I had to, uh...

I got a call from the, um...

I had to speak.

I wanted to just give you a chat.

-[birds chirping] -[faucet running] [Kurt sighs] [pen scratching] -[birds chirping] -[metal scraping] [dog barks] Well, what is it?

Have you-- have you got a minute?

Yeah, yeah, come in, come in.

-What's wrong?

-Um...

Hang on, what's up, what's up?

Hans' dad's gone missing.

When?

What happened?

Sunday morning.

Hakon got up for his walk and left the house before Louise got up and she heard him go but he didn't come back.

[Kurt] What time?

Six a.m., he does it every day.

Where does he walk?

Sit down, sit down, come on.

Out past the lake, into the woods back at their place.

It's a kilometer and a half there and back.

And has Louise told the police?

Yeah, they've looked.

I mean, I suppose whatever the usual search is, but I... Has Hans gone up?

No, she told him not to drop everything if he was busy, but he's upset, Dad.

He's worried.

I know, I know.

Most people don't stay lost.

Ninety-odd percent of them come back by themselves.

Can you go up, Dad?

See if you can help.

Sure.

-Sure, I'll give Louise a call.

-Thanks.

But I'm suspended, though, I can't arrest anyone.

[Linda laughs] I'm sure it'll be fine.

You tell Hans that.

Tell him his dad'll be fine.

[Linda sighs] I love you, Dad.

I love you.

Why don't you go and pick up Klara.

It'll be fine, sweetheart.

[Linda] Thank you.

[distant dog barks] [Kurt sighs] Louise, Louise, Louise.

[indistinct radio chatter] -Oh, hello.

Hi.

-Hello, Mr. Wallander.

-I can take your bag.

-Oh, I can, I can.

-Thanks.

-Thank you.

Louise.

Oh!

Oh, Kurt.

I thought it might've been...

There's a policeman down over the lake, Ytterberg.

I've told him you're coming.

How are you?

This is so kind of you, but really, I'm fi-- please don't worry about me.

We'll find him, Louise.

Yes.

-[leaves rustling] -And no sign?

[muffled talking] -Hi.

-Hi.

Wallander?

-Ytterberg.

-[Kurt] Good to meet you.

They're calling it a day.

The Navy sent a team to dredge the lake.

He's not in the forest, the dogs couldn't find him.

He's not in the water.

His wife doesn't think he has any enemies.

[Kurt] What do you think?

[Ytterberg] Suicide?

Accident?

Be my guest if you want to look into it.

We're not a big station, another mind on this would be...

Here's my card.

[Kurt] Thanks.

[Ytterberg] Let me know if you find anything.

[Kurt] Of course.

-[bell dings] -[clock ticking] [Kurt groans] [woman sobbing] [sobbing continues] -[birds chirping] -[ducks quacking] [overlapping voices, indistinct] [birds chirping] [Kurt sighs] You're fine, you're fine, you're 55.

56.

57, 58, 59, 60.

61, come on, you're fine, you're fine.

65, 66.

[crow caws] -Good morning, Louise.

-Are you a breakfast person?

I'm diabetic.

Oh, you're not fat.

Well, uh...

I was wondering if Hakon would've kept the cards from his birthday.

-Does he usually do that?

-Oh, I doubt that.

Now, what does a diabetic eat?

Uh, some fruit, some cereal, or... -Oh.

-You don't have to.

It's fine, it's fine.

Just help yourself.

Hakon's friend Sten called, he's waiting to hear from you and there's his address.

Okay, sorry.

Do you like Klara's kindergarten?

Um, yeah, all the teachers seem nice.

Doesn't Linda want to stay at home?

Or doesn't Hans earn enough?

It's not a matter of... You know, I'll make this call if I may, thanks.

Excuse me.

Excuse me, Sten Norlander?

Yeah.

Wallander?

Yeah, I think Louise gave you a call.

Yeah, she did, yes, yes.

-Linda's dad.

-Right.

Yeah, I can see it.

Never met her, but...

So, uh, you weren't at Hakon's birthday party.

Nah, my sister was sick.

Plus it's not my kind of thing, so... Was there anything on his mind recently?

Anything troubling him?

Would you say he was depressed?

Yeah.

Like about 60% of the population.

I mean, he was a brooder.

All this stuff just lately... Putin sending subs into Swedish waters.

Whether or not we should do anything.

Whether or not we identify them, provoke an incident.

Would've brought it all back again.

The submarine incursions from the 80s?

Pretty much torpedoed the both of us.

You think somebody's killed him?

Well why would somebody kill him?

I don't know.

They wouldn't.

He didn't kill himself, though.

You wanna come out?

No, thank you.

[boat horn honking] Can you remember the last thing that he said to you?

I don't know.

Probably something about boats.

Not much else to talk about.

I don't think either of us have ever done much else.

[thunder rumbling] [phone ringing] Yeah, Wallander.

[Lennart] Hi, Kurt, it's Lennart.

Are you all ready for tomorrow?

Sorry?

[Lennart] The internal affairs interview.

Uh, yeah, um... Yeah, no, fine.

-You'll be there, right, yeah?

-[Lennart] Yeah, 10 a.m., Kurt.

All right, okay, I'll see you tomorrow.

[Lennart] Okay.

Bugger.

Bugger, bugger, bugger, bugger.

10 a.m. [Man on tape] Did you discuss the submarine incursions?

The idea that the government had purposely let the Russian submarines go?

[Hakon] They did purposely let them go.

We were out on the archipelago, we were scrambled.

You know this, it was all on the news.

It went all the way to the prime minister.

[Man] You think the prime minis-- [tape clicks] [Louise] I thought...

I'm so sorry, I just found a...

Sorry.

Um, do you... Do you know where he used to play billiards?

Doesn't play billiards.

It's just it's the only other-- He doesn't play.

He's dead, isn't he?

What the hell's been the point?

Louise... Goodnight, Kurt.

[Kurt sighs] Why don't you call Hans and Linda or-- I'm a sailor's wife, I'm used to being on my own.

Louise, you don't have to go through this by yourself.

I'll get them to come up.

I have friends!

I'm all right.

Goodbye, Kurt.

Goodbye, Louise.

[Man] Did you discuss the submarine incursions?

The idea that the government had purposely let the Russian submarines go?

[Hakon] They did purposely let them go.

We were out on the archipelago, we were scrambled.

You know this, it was all on the news.

[tape rewinding] [Man] Did you discuss the submarine incursions?

The idea that the government had purposely let the Russian submarines go?

[Hakon] They did purposely let them go.

We were out on the archipelago.

[tape rewinding] [Man] You think the prime minister ordered you not to mine the submarines?

[Hakon] Yes.

[Man] Tell me, Hakon, they-- [Hakon] Swedish neutrality is a joke.

It always has been and it still is.

[Man] Did you ever have any reason to believe that one of the Naval command may have been unreliable?

[Hakon] How do you define that?

[Man] How would you define it?

A spy?

A traitor?

[horn honking] [Kurt sighs] Sorry, sorry.

You okay?

-Yeah.

-Come on.

[indistinct conversation] [Kurt] Uncomfortable to sit there so I had time to go and put up my seat.

It was a stupid thing to do.

Got my shirt, got my shirt.

My shirt.

[Kurt sighs] I've got the shirt.

I've got the shirt, got the shirt.

Got the shirt.

[Nyberg] How'd it go?

Are you all right?

Yeah, yeah, I'm just uh... [Nyberg] You okay?

Look, if you need to talk... No, thanks.

Just uh... Yeah, you have to let it... Just, thanks though.

I'll see you later, yeah?

[Nyberg] Yeah, sure.

[Hakon] Swedish neutrality is a joke, it always has been.

Clearly it still is.

[Man] Did you ever have any reason to believe that one of the Naval command may have been unreliable?

[Hakon] How do you define that?

[Man] How would you define it?

A spy?

A traitor?

Hello?

Hi, it's just me.

[Klara] Granddad!

[Kurt] Hello, you!

I've got a scooter.

-Wow!

-I can ride it myself.

[Kurt] You bet!

-[Kurt sighs] -Oh, you... Oh, Christ.

Oh, you look exhausted.

He's got something once a month.

It's every um, every first Friday if I recall.

Uh, yep, billiards in the diary, she says he never played.

Or what?

An affair?

Would you put it in the diary like that?

-No, I mean, I wouldn't.

-I was there for two days... and I-I can't-- I don't think that she even noticed-- No, I mean, they're not close.

-They function, I think.

-That's what I... You know what marriage can be like.

Well, I mean, what exactly did he do?

-'Cause I'm not- -Submarine commando.

Hans thinks he might have been in naval intelligence.

Although it's not something that you or me, I don't... You keep that secret even from your family, right?

Maybe that's why Louise is like she is.

It's hard to live with someone if you know they're keeping secrets.

Klara asked if he was dead today.

[door clicks] [Hans] Hi!

-[Linda] Oh, hey!

-[Klara] Papa!

Hi, darling.

How are you?

-[Linda] Um, Dad's here.

-[Hans] Have a good day?

Go and play.

Thanks for going up, Kurt.

How's Louise?

I think she'd be pleased to see you if, and, you know, whatever she says.

I have a couple more hours to do.

[Linda] Okay, yep.

Look, she doesn't want me, Kurt, and I don't think she wanted you.

-Sorry.

-No, I asked Dad to go up -as a policeman.

-Yes, I know.

Dad, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine.

[Klara] Mama, I'm tired.

[Linda] All right, let's brush your teeth.

Come on.

I don't think Hakon's dead.

I think he's left her.

Why would he leave her?

Look, I really need to finish these things off, okay?

-Can we just... -Hans, if you think-- If he's dead, he's dead.

If he's not, he'll come back.

Please.

[Klara crying] [dog barking] -[waves crashing] -[gulls squawking] Come on, bring it.

[phone ringing] Yeah, Wallander.

Okay, okay, come on, come on, come on.

Come on!

Hi.

Steven Wilson.

Hakon's friend, yeah?

I hadn't intended to turn up without warning, but I got the time in Copenhagen wrong.

I, uh...

I've been up to visit Louise.

Right.

Got time for a walk?

[Steven] It's hard to talk to Louise.

Can't get a thing out of her.

It's tough.

Thought I'd come speak to you.

You think he had an accident?

We don't know, he's just gone.

He left a message on my answer service a couple of weeks ago.

I don't check it regularly these days.

Nothing in it to suggest he was thinking of you know...

Doing something stupid.

Just "give me a call," didn't seem urgent.

Now, of course, I wonder.

Did he visit you in America?

Every few years, he and Louise.

Once upon a time Louise got along very well with my late wife.

You know Hans is married to my daughter?

No, I never met Hans.

Was gonna drop by and say hi before I go.

-Also the sister.

I-- -Sister?

Signe.

I didn't know Hakon had a sister.

Perhaps I misremember.

Uh, I tend to muddle things these days.

Look, I better go if I want to see Hans.

I got a plane to catch.

-Can you call if anything... -If you give me your card.

Sure.

Listen, thank you.

And, um... Bye.

[gulls cawing] Kurt Wallander from Ystad.

I'd like you to help me with a personal record, please.

The name is Signe von Enke.

I assume that she is the um, sister... ...of Hakon von Enke.

Uh, yes, personal number is 400117-5498.

Probably born in the 30s or 40s.

Yeah.

Okay, um, maybe I have...

So, what is the date of birth?

[muffled talking] 1982.

All right, is there an address?

Can I help you?

Uh, I'm looking for Signe von Enke.

Her brother's married to my daughter.

[Nurse] I didn't know she had a brother.

[Kurt] He doesn't know he has a sister.

[Nurse] Well, it's only ever her father who visits.

Hakon, regular as clockwork.

[Kurt] The first Friday of every month, yes?

[Nurse] Uh huh.

She's blind, severely brain damaged.

She's lived in places like this her whole life.

What does her father do when he comes to see her?

He sits with her, reads to her, holds her hand.

He was here last on the 6th?

I can check.

Please.

Thank you.

[phone beeps] [line rings] [Louise] Hello, you've reached Louise von Enke.

Please leave a message.

Louise, it's Kurt.

I'm on my way over, not far away.

Could you give me a call when you get this?

Thanks.

Can I speak with Louise, please?

I don't know.

She's not here.

It's very unlike her.

Yeah, she's not answering her phone either.

Yes, I know, I tried her too.

Her walking shoes are gone.

All right.

Louise!

-[leaves rustling] -[crow caws] Louise!

Louise!

[birds squawking] -[crow caws] -[duck quacks] If you could give me the name and address of the nursing home, I'll... [Kurt] Sure.

Did they see her?

Did they spend time with her?

Your dad did.

But what about when she was a child?

I don't think your mother ever saw her.

What kind of people pretend their daughter is dead?

[Kurt] I don't know.

I don't know, there's a lot of things that don't make sense.

Um, sorry, do you recognize this voice?

[Man] The idea that the government had purposely let the Russian submarines go?

No.

Who is it?

I don't know.

I think I need you to be careful, Hans.

I don't want you at work all hours of the day.

Not until I find out what's happened.

[Hans] Why are you saying this?

My mother has committed suicide, there's nothing...

I can look after my family.

I don't need you trying to scare me.

-[crow caws] -[leaves rustling] I'm gonna take them back to Copenhagen.

We'll be back at the weekend.

Why do you think she took her shoes off?

I mean, the soles of her feet weren't dirty.

How do you hang yourself over a lake without getting your feet wet?

These were in her coat pocket.

[Kurt] All right, what are they?

It's microfilm.

It's microfilm of naval documents.

Plans, movement orders.

They're old, 30 odd years.

It's the same kind of film the Stasi used.

All right, listen to this.

[Man] Did you ever have any reason to believe that one of the Naval command may have been unreliable?

[Hakon] How do you define that?

[Man] A spy?

A traitor?

-Who's he talking to?

-I don't know, I don't know.

Where-where did you get it?

It was taped under a drawer in his study.

There's no indication of who he was talking to or when.

He had a letter that some sort of news or something on his birthday.

It was card, it was in with the other cards, and there was something in it.

It was a photo, I think.

It really shook him.

Somebody's digging around in the past, from that time, into this alleged espionage.

I mean, I thought it was Hakon who was under pressure, but maybe it was Louise.

Maybe he was suspicious of her.

I mean, what is this?

Is this a suicide note?

A confession?

[Ytterberg] What's happened to him then?

I don't know, I don't know.

But it doesn't... Look.

This all seems very elaborate.

If we suspect foul play, I'd be inclined to look closer to home.

[Kurt] Meaning?

Does Hans have financial problems?

He stands to inherit the property, the money.

He's been dealing with his parent's finances- No.

[Ytterberg] I'm just going from past experience.

Truth is often just staring you in the face.

Come on.

-[Sten] Louise.

-Louise.

I uh...

I found something.

Oh my goodness, me.

What is it all about?

Harsfjarden.

[Kurt] Harsfjarden?

The submarine incursions.

I knew he was always trying to find out where the orders were coming from.

I didn't know he was going into it in so much detail.

Why were the submarines, why was that incident so important to him?

The commander wasn't the only one to be upset.

We all wondered what the hell had gone on.

Ruined a lot of careers.

Soviet subs in Swedish waters?

And in the end we had to let them go without identifying them.

A lot of rumors going around.

Rumors?

About spies?

Traitors.

A weak link in the chain of command.

So somebody gave a direct order not to raise the submarines?

[Sten] Yes.

There was an order to take no action.

Could it have been Hakon who decided that?

No.

No, why, never.

Do you mind taking a look at the back of the book, please.

[Sten] Louise.

[Kurt] Yeah, Louise.

So she's in there, too.

Do you think that she could've accessed confidential information of his?

That she could've passed it onto to somebody that in some way she was the bad link in the command?

No.

That's totally ridiculous.

I don't think either Hakon or Louise committed suicide, I think there's somebody here, now, and they are covering up, they're cleaning up.

Hakon is not a traitor, neither was Louise.

[phone ringing] Excuse me.

Wallander.

[indistinct radio chatter] Your son-in-law has received over three million kronor from his parents over the past year.

I called him.

He's a hard man to get hold of.

He denied it.

I'm not pointing the finger at anyone, it's just something I need to clarify.

-[Linda] Hello?

-Hi, sweetheart.

[Linda] Hi, Dad.

Are you okay?

Yeah, can I have a word with Hans please?

[Linda] He's not home, he's at the office.

Okay, when's he gonna be back?

[Linda] Not until late, I don't think, about 10.

Is everything all right?

What's going on?

Have you found out anything about his dad or... No, no, no, no.

I've got a couple of-- No, it's silly.

[Linda] Are you all right?

Yeah, I'm not doing anything.

I'm absolutely fine.

Sorry to bother you, I'll talk to you later, yeah?

[Linda] All right.

-I love you, Dad, bye.

-All right, bye, bye!

[Kurt] No, I need to see...

I need to see Hans von Enke as soon as possible, okay?

[shouting] Hans!

Hans!

[Receptionist] I will do my best.

Kurt, you can't just-- How long have you been stealing the money?

How long you been stealing the money, Hans?

How long you been stealing the money?

-I haven't-- -You have!

You have, Hans.

You have, Hans, I've read the statements.

You lied.

You lied to Ytterberg about it, you don't do that.

You don't do that, you don't do that.

You've been taking money.

You've been taking money from your parents.

You've been taking money from your parents.

Three million.

Three million from your parents?

[Hans] I haven't been taking it.

-No?

-No.

-What've you been doing then?

What've you been doing then?

-I... -They've been giving it.

-You've been lying!

[Hans] They've been giving it to me.

I've borrowed it.

Borrowed it?

I haven't been taking it.

[Hans sighs] Don't tell Linda, please.

I'm not keeping anything back from...

I mean, what else have you been hiding from my sister?

Huh?

[Kurt stutters] Did you kill your parents?

Did you kill your parents?

I was here.

What?

I was here all the time.

For God's sake.

The only thing I'm ever trying to do is just provide for my wife and my daughter.

That's all I think of, Kurt.

That's all I ever think of.

[Hans crying] I'm sorry, Hans.

I don't really, I haven't got the... [Kurt mumbles] The, uh...

Uh... Kurt.

I will-- I, uh-- I'll see you.

Hakon?

-[traffic humming] -[car horn honks] Hakon?

Hakon!

Hakon?

Hakon!

Hakon?

Hey, hey, hey, Hakon!

[phone ringing] [line ringing] [door creaks] Dad?

[dog whines] Jussi.

Dad.

[heavy breathing] Dad?

Dad?

-Dad, Dad, Dad, Dad.

-[Kurt mumbles] Dad!

No, I've got, I've gotta be able-- -It's okay.

-No, no!

Gotta take the taxi!

Gotta take the taxi!

Dad, Dad.

Come on.

Just stop.

[heavy breathing] Dad!

Dad, stop.

[Linda grunts] [Kurt shouts] Okay.

[heavy breathing] Are you my daughter?

Yes, I'm Linda.

Linda.

Linda.

Dad, Dad, come on.

Come on, come on.

Let's get you home.

Let's get you home.

[heavy breathing] -You're Linda, yeah?

-Yeah.

I'll get you back.

Hey, come on, come on.

Come on, let's get you home.

It's all right, Dad.

What did the doctor say?

They can't really say.

Five years.

Six, seven years, maybe.

What was I doing seven years ago?

Drinking red wine.

Falling asleep in your chair.

I was looking after Granddad.

Me and your mom just got divorced.

I saw this 15 year old girl set herself on fire in a rape field.

That's something I could do with forgetting.

What's it like?

I can't-- really, I don't know at all.

It's all sorts of different things.

Sometimes I find that I can't...

I can't even imagine where I'm supposed to be.

You kinda hit a wall.

You know, you try and go through it, you can't, so you just... You try and get over it, try and go around it, some other way, but you get, uh... You get so anxious.

You get, anxious, you get angry.

And then I try, I just try and think back...to... You know I think things are-- and I know have happened.

I think I've put things-- well I know, they must've happened and... it's just the uh...

It's just a pity and the pictures aren't there anymore.

It's like suddenly a lot of things, it's like they're there.

This whole thing and... [Linda] Why didn't you tell me?

I'm your daughter.

Because you're my daughter.

Because you've got a daughter of your own.

Because I am the son of a father who had this and... [Linda] Well, let me decide.

[Linda sighs] I mean, it's gonna be hard.

But it is as it is.

We just have to find a way to... [Linda sighs] I don't want you to have to look after me.

[Linda] I want to.

I choose to.

Okay.

[Kurt sputtering, sobbing] I don't think Hans is a murderer.

[Linda] No, neither do I.

[Kurt] Come on, come on, I'm being methodical.

Okay, what do we know about him?

What do we know about Hakon?

What do we know?

What do we know, what do we know?

[phone beeping] [disconnected signal] [Woman] Good evening, Ostermalm Restaurant.

Yeah, hello, this is Kurt Wallander.

I want to talk about some people who worked at your restaurant.

I was a communist.

I suppose I still am in a way.

The only political truth that can't be questioned.

In my opinion.

[Kurt] Is that why you applied for the job?

I was asked to apply by the party.

It was of some interest to know what conservative naval officers were talking about amongst themselves.

Nobody suspected that a waitress with swollen legs would remember what they'd said.

I spoke about it to my comrades, but that was all.

It was 30 years ago.

It can't matter now, can it?

Do you uh... Do you remember him?

His name was Commander von Enke.

He was one of the better ones.

He didn't drink too much, didn't say too much.

Polite.

So you didn't know him...

In what way?

As a member of the party or...?

[Fanny scoffs] Him?

No.

He was the same as the rest of them.

Hated the prime minister, terrified of Russia.

The fight between God and the Devil.

And the Devil was in the east?

[Fanny] And God the Father was also known as the USA.

Commander von Enke's wife has been found dead, in mysterious circumstances.

He has disappeared.

Despite appearances, I think one or both of them might have been... had some involvement.

I think one of them might've been a Soviet agent, in fact.

And I think somebody might've killed them because of that.

Could he have been the one who killed her?

That's what usually happens.

Or perhaps it has to do with the book.

Which book?

The historian.

He's writing a book about all this.

I have something here.

[Man] Did you discuss the submarine incursions?

-Yes, yes, that's him.

-The idea that... ...the government had... -Ola Vikander.

-...purposely let the Russian submarines go?

Ola Vikander?

Don't know me, my name's Kurt Wallander.

[Vikander] Yes?

I'm a policeman and Hakon von Enke is my daughter's father-in-law.

Commander von Enke is a dangerous man.

He is a traitor of the worst kind.

[Kurt] Why do you say that?

He made sure that those submarines would never be raised There were never any orders.

And then he made an almighty fuss to cover his tracks.

You delivered that card to him on his birthday telling him what?

What was in that card?

Ha!

No.

[distant gun shot] I tracked a record of payments from the naval treasury to a fisherman whose nets had been damaged during the incursion.

Hakon authorized payments and he overpaid.

The usual payment's 2,000 kronor.

When I spoke to the fisherman he told me he had been paid 100,000.

He found something and Hakon paid him to keep it quiet.

So, what does the fisherman say now?

He's dead.

His son's alive, he knows something, but he's keeping quiet.

Money clearly still talks.

You know that Hakon von Enke's wife is dead.

Yes, I saw.

Yeah, and I think that you speaking to him prompted this, whatever this, whatever all this is.

He came here eventually to find out what I knew to see how close I was getting to it.

I can't prove it just now.

My best lead was a defector by the name of Ragulin who maintained that there was a Soviet spy in the Ostermalm dining club.

He had no corroborating evidence, but I'll find it.

Hakon won't scare me off.

Dead or alive.

You don't think he is dead?

I don't believe it for a second.

He's alive, he's dangerous, and he's behind all this.

[bird squawking] [Kurt] What did Commander von Enke pay your father for?

[Fisherman] Damaged nets.

[Kurt] And you told this man from Stockholm about it?

[Fisherman] Yep.

You told him that you had never asked your father what he got paid for?

Nope.

That you were never curious, and you never wanted to know what your father knew?

You never wanted to know what your father was paid 100,000 kronor to keep quiet about?

What's it matter now, eh?

This man who paid your father off, is my... Is my daughter's father-in-law and he's my granddaughter's other granddad and I don't know whether he's alive or dead.

I don't know whether he's dangerous.

And all I wanna know is if he's alive, is-- are my family in danger?

And I don't think I'll have much time left and I really need to sort it out.

[Fisherman] Come on.

Come.

[phone ringing] Yeah, Wallander.

[Lennart] Oh, hi, Kurt.

So it's good news.

They've docked you a month's pay and you can come back to work immediately.

I've just heard.

Oh, great, thanks.

Can I have a couple of day's leave?

-[Lennart] Well, um- -I'm up north -and I need to- -[Lennart] Yeah, okay, okay.

Okay, Monday, then?

Hello, Kurt.

Here you are.

Ah, that's mighty kind of you.

To your health.

So what are you doing here?

I guess I didn't make my flight.

I've been trying to think of some piece of information that might help figure out what's happened.

And did you think of something?

But a friend of mine and I, we were colleagues.

And I had this deal with him that he would help me.

And if ever he became troubled by any consequences that he would let me know and I would help him in return.

And the way that he would let me know would be... that he would disappear.

And how would you help him?

I'd find him, take him elsewhere.

It's an American device.

The submarines weren't Russian, they were American, and Hakon was working for you.

At that time it was considered a priority to destabilize the government here, and it was perceived as being communist.

It worked.

After the fake Russian subs, support for the east dwindled away to almost nothing.

Which was another border made safe, another front closed down.

And Louise?

Louise?

So was it always part of the rescue plan that she would die?

That he would arrange a suicide, leave evidence to blame her?

I liked Louise.

Where is he?

Waiting for me.

But I won't go fetch him.

It would be inadvisable for us to become involved.

Far better for someone else.

Someone with an interest, to make him face up to his responsibilities, to what he's done.

What about your responsibilities?

You wouldn't be here if you weren't afraid to face them.

If I confront Hakon with what he's done, I'll make sure I do the same for you.

You're not in the best of health.

You have a family.

Are you sure you wanna make that threat?

Where is he?

[handgun cocks] [Kurt] Hakon, it's Kurt.

I'm gonna turn around.

[Hakon] Put the rifle down.

Turn around, if you wish.

Move.

If you leave me, if you let me go out of here, Kurt, I'll let you go.

Where the hell do you think you're going?

They're not gonna come and get you.

You're waiting down here for a boat that will never arrive.

Wilson sold you out.

-No.

-Yes, he did.

-No.

-Yes, he did.

I'm not going down in history as a traitor.

My family... Klara will not grow up with the shame of what I've done.

Yet you'll let them believe the lie of what your wife did.

My wife.

My wife cannot be punished, living or dead, any more than she has punished me and my daughter.

So you destroyed her.

You destroyed yourself.

All to hide your treachery in a war that finished 30 years ago.

[Hakon] You and I both do similar things, Kurt.

We see things, live through things, that would horrify any normal person.

We do it to protect our children.

Hakon von Enke, you're under arrest for the murder of Louise von Enke.

[Hakon] No.

Allow me to go.

[gun clatters] You know I can't do that.

Kurt?

Kurt?

[water splashing] Hakon?

Hakon!

[shouting] Hakon!

[heavy breathing] [Kurt] Despondency breaks off its course.

Anguish breaks off its course.

The vulture breaks off its flight.

The eager light streams out, even the ghosts take a draft.

And our paintings see daylight, our red beasts of the ice-age studios.

Everything begins to look around.

We walk in the sun in hundreds.

Each man is a half-open door leading to a room for everyone.

The endless ground under us.

The water is shining among the trees.

The lake is a window into the earth.

[birds chirping] Where did he wash up?

Near Saltshamn.

Drowning's the worst way to go.

[Ytterberg] Yes, well... My condolences.

Thanks.

[Linda laughing] [Linda] Oh no, oh no!

Thanks.

Funny when you have kids.

You start understanding your own parents.

[Kurt] You realize, you know, eventually you start.

That being a parent is more or less a long process of letting go.

I never got to give Linda away.

I'm glad she married you.

[playful shrieks] [alarm ringing] -[waves crashing] -[gulls cawing] It's just moments now, Dad.

Everything.

It's just moments now.

They don't join up.

[Povel] What don't?

My memories.

My life doesn't join up.

I can't remember.

Someone else will remember.

Someone will remember for you.

[Linda] Dad?

[Klara] Jussi!

[dog barks] Are you okay?

Yeah.

I'm fine.

[dog barks]
