The Breakthrough (Genombrottet)

ON TUESDAY 19TH OCTOBER 2004 A MURDER INVESTIGATION BEGAN

IT WOULD BECOME THE SECOND LARGEST CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION

IN SWEDISH HISTORY

I can see… his face now.

It's not blurry. It's clear now. I can actually…

I can see what he looks like.

Good. What do you see?

Well, he's White.

And his eyes are… brown,

I think.

Straight nose, uh…

And, uh, no glasses, um…

I mean, I don't know. It looks awfully vague.

- It's all we have. - It looks like it could be anyone.

So… So I don't think we should go public with it.

'cause it could be any old man out there.

We're gonna have to go public to point out that we're actually doing something,

so that's what we're gonna do.

Well, it's your call.

Yesterday, police released a facial composite

of the male suspect wanted for the double murder in mid-October.

Members of the public have been urged to come forward

if they have information concerning the suspect's identity.

Would you say the composite is your last chance

to find the killer?

We're following several lines of inquiry, but that's all I can say for now.

Do you believe the murder has to do with the boy's religion?

Not as far as we know.

- Yep. - Stina Eriksson, Corren.

What do you say to those afraid to let their children go outside and play?

We have, uh, police officers at every school in town.

So, at the start of this case,

you said you that were convinced you'd catch the culprit.

Yep, that's right.

And I firmly believe that we are very close now.

How close?

Soon.

Define soon. Are we talking today or tomorrow?

- In a week? - Next question.

Are you confident there are no risks in releasing the composite?

Are you not concerned that by doing so, the killer may be triggered in some way?

That's it. We'll get back to you once we have more information.

SERIOUS MENTAL DISORDER AT TIME OF CRIME

Is there anything that you want to bring when we go to the hospital?

No, don't think so. And I gotta go now.

Call if you need anything.

Make some space.

That's it, Jocke, push forward! Erik, keep going!

Get on the ball and keep driving them back. Come on now.

Great, great, now play on!

MANHUNT AIDED BY FACIAL COMPOSITE

You seen Ante much lately?

No. He's completely lost it.

- What? - Don't recognise him.

What's going on, do you think?

He just went fucking nuts at a pizza house in Berga,

screaming a whole load of racist shit at the pizza guy.

Hey.

Can I… come in?

Yeah.

What's that flag about?

Is it not allowed then?

Yeah.

So, what do you want?

Why did you quit on us?

I don't like playing anymore.

Is that why you've come round?

Last year, the whole squad went to the police to get swabbed

for the double murder.

Mm.

All of us with one exception.

Okay.

Why didn't you?

I think you should just leave. Come on, go.

- Can you tell me why not? - Can you just go?!

Are you fucking deaf? Just go!

GO HOME SWEDEN FOR THE SWEDISH!

Elena?

Since the release of the facial composite,

the police have received more than 300 tips

without getting any closer to cracking the case.

The double murder in Linköping on October 19th

is still an unsolved mystery.

The trail of the killer ends at Djurgårdsgatan,

where his hat was recovered.

Well, I really hoped that you didn't feel it necessary to move.

We can't take it anymore, we just can't.

No, we must get away from here.

Maya can't even go to school.

And she can't walk past where he died.

Adnan,

he so loved Linköping.

Where we live.

Garden.

Everyone here.

Everything, he… he loved everything about Linköping.

I… think I see him. Everywhere.

I can't sleep at night.

I can't eat.

- Yeah, I know. - Can't do anything.

I understand.

Yeah?

So why haven't you caught him yet?

The monster who murdered him? Huh?

I really don't know.

- You swore to me. - Yes.

You looked into my eyes and swore to me.

- Yeah. - So, why?

Why haven't you arrested him yet?

What's your plan, huh? Tell me, I want to know!

Where are the witnesses?

Where the hell's the fucking killer? Where?!

I understand your frustration.

The only thing I can say is that we, uh…

We're all working hard to solve this.

I won't stop.

You have my word.

I will keep working… till I catch him.

I swear.

Okay.

Okay.

Anna?

Now?

Okay.

Hey, little Henry.

According to estimates,

as many as 12,000 people are believed to have died in the tsunami.

But since many are still missing, the death toll…

- Oh. - At least two Swedes…

Come, go to Mummy. There we are.

- Hello. - Is this John Sundin?

Yeah, speaking.

This is Fred, I'm manning the tip-off hotline.

- Okay. - We have a possible new eyewitness.

- You told us to let you know. - Okay, okay. I'm on my way.

John.

We may have a witness who saw a man sprint down Stengatan.

And if indeed this man is the perpetrator,

he then took off in a westward direction.

- John! - What?

You should hand this over to me. You know that Lollo and I can handle it.

I know you can, it's just never gonna be that simple.

I can't write down all that's going round in my head

and then hand it over, I can't.

But you really shouldn't be here.

Anna will need you at home.

She'll be all right.

Okay.

Bye, John.

- Hi. - Hi.

Uh, I got these for you.

- Your magazines. - Oh.

They're my… wife's magazines.

Mm-hmm. Well, goodnight then.

Thanks.

WE'RE THINKING OF YOU!

I saved them all.

Uh…

I, uh… I want to assure you that everyone…

We're all working around the clock.

We're on the case.

- We're swabbing as many people-- - But that is exactly what you said before.

Yeah, well it's just how…

uh, we work in cases like this.

- We work systematically, carefully. - Yeah.

Yeah, I understand.

Um… Uh, I must get going.

But, uh… I'll keep you updated.

We'll join you for the countdown. Yeah, I'll just get my wife.

Hi. There you are.

Hey, it's time soon.

Let go.

I thought we could watch the fireworks from the terrace.

- No, I'm not doing that. - Please. Let's go outside together.

- Here, I can wrap him up in-- - No!

Oh, come on.

We're gonna leave tomorrow. Going home to my parents'.

I can't do this alone, John.

- But you're not alone, though. - So, you think you're home enough, do you?

Ring out!

Ring wild bells

To the wild sky

Look, this is so unfair.

What do you expect me to do, just drop everything? Huh?

We have nothing in this investigation,

it has gone absolutely nowhere, and you think I should come home--

That is precisely why we're going, so you don't have to think about us.

You're in the police too.

You know exactly what it is that we're dealing with here.

What should I do, just drop it?

Come on, go.

Go!

Please, Anna, can you…

- Will you come with me? - Just go.

- Go outside! - Okay.

Three, two, one!

It's getting beyond a joke.

Her headlines are like something out of the '50s.

Don't get me wrong, I respect the fact that Gunnel has worked there for what,

like, a hundred years? But…
