Blood Sacrifice (Blodsoffer)

The shower wall broke open and fell on my grandson.

It sliced his leg, I don't know what to do.

- 112. What's your emergency? - She took some painkillers.

The bottle's open. I don't know how many.

And the cross road is Queen St.?

Yeah, the guy got sideswiped.

I understand. Did you see it when it happened?

His car slid into a power line. It's pretty bad.

The car struck a power line? Is anyone in the car?

Yeah, he's sitting in the car. I think he's been drinking.

- - 112. What's your emergency?

Help me.

- You… you need to help me. -Can you hear me?

-What can we do to help? - There's a man here.

I need you to help me!

He's got a knife!

-A knife? -Help! He's gonna kill me!

- -

What the hell… ?

You okay?

- -

#50085 (PRIORITY 1) KRÄFTSTIGEN 7, VÄRMDÖ

Yeah, I know. It's not perfect, but you should stick with it.

Keep watching. It's worth it, for sure.

After the second episode the show gets way, way better.

Nah, it's too late for that. She already finished the whole thing.

Didn't you say you were watching it together?

No, I said that we started watching together.

Then I went to bed.

And when I woke up, she'd binged the entire season.

- -

Assault in progress, 4-7. Calling all units to Värmdö.

-Calling all units. -

35-20. We're on patrol in Värmdö. Over.

35-20, there's an ongoing assault on Kräftstigen 7.

An assault at Kräftstigen 7. Over.

Copy that. We're on our way. Over.

Okay, be careful. Caller mentioned a knife. Over.

Upstairs lights are on.

I'll check around the back.

- Don't do anything stupid. -

-Rolander? -

-Rolander, what's happening? You copy me? -

- - Help… Help me…

- -

BLOOD SACRIFICE

I appreciate you getting here so quickly.

I've seen a lot throughout the years, but… …this…

Rolander on the left.

Bengtsson here.

Gruesome injuries.

We believe it's ritualistic.

The way their bodies were positioned in such…

In such strange positions.

And then…

-Of course, there's this… -

Thomas, I'm sorry.

I don't know if you knew them personally, but…

They were still your colleagues.

Hey.

Can you believe this?

This is horrible.

Yeah, I'm sure you feel the same way that this investigation is a sensitive one.

I don't care what kind of psycho this guy is,

I swear to you, we'll get him.

SATURDAY

Many of you knew Rolander.

- -He served here a long time.

Helene Bengtsson moved here from Gothenburg just over a year ago.

Left behind her dear wife,

and her dog…

Sorry, guys, but, um…

I just feel sort of…

I don't know. Guilty.

Whoever did this, did this to all of us. The whole police force.

They cordoned off the house while they're waiting for forensics results.

But…

-We're in this together. Okay? - Mm.

All right.

- -

- -

Rolander was attacked here. Probably didn't see it coming.

No obvious defense wounds, so…

His firearm also showed no signs of discharge.

And Bengtsson came in after that.

Stands here, sees Rolander on the floor.

And then gets attacked.

Standing behind the door? Right?

Yes, or maybe just in the shadows.

It doesn't really get dark here in late May.

Your colleague said they got the 112 call at…

01:15.

Yeah, that's about as dark as it gets.

-Good timing. - Mm.

The only time there was a lapse in his planning

was when he cut off their heads.

As you can see, it happened right here. But there's no drip trail from the heads.

Which makes us think he immediately put them into a bag or something similar.

Regardless, it appears as though he took them with him from the scene.

The weapon?

The medical examiner believes it was a serrated kitchen knife.

With a blade about eleven or twelve centimeters long.

Oh, god.

Must've taken a hell of a lot of effort.

We've secured part of the suspect's shoe print as well.

A sneaker with a rubber sole.

So unless it's from the delivery boy that found them,

it's likely from our guy.

-Who's the owner of this house? - His name's Olof Claesson.

He's at a festival in Berlin.

He's at a festival in Berlin?

Well, now that's over for him.

Thank you.

That Söderhamn killing, you know anything about it?

It was a few weeks ago.

They caught him, didn't they? It was all over the news, right?

Some kind of security guard?

A real weirdo.

Sit still, you little devil. Huh?

- -

This is all they gave me on the murder in Söderhamn.

I need to get your approval to access the full investigation.

Thomas, you've got a double murder to solve.

Also, Söderhamn already caught their guy.

-The prosecutor is ready to press charges. -I know that.

You don't need to get yourself involved in a case that's already closed.

Come on. The victim in Söderhamn was an officer too.

I need your help to rule out any link.

Söderhamn got their guy.

They brought in a guy.

He was covered in the victim's blood.

I'm not saying they got it wrong.

But I just wanna review the investigation.

Look it over.

What's the harm in that?

This right here is one of the reasons that working with you drives me up the wall.

Thank you, Rebecca.

It does not leave this room, you hear me. Yeah?

Yeah?

We confirmed that it's not the delivery boy's shoe print.

-And that's not even the best part… -

- Hi. -Hey.

The shoe print was a size 43, right foot, running shoe.

We've found three more prints since that one.

We found a left footprint, also from a runner.

But a different brand and style.

So we have two killers?

Or it's the same person.

-Wearing two different shoes? - Yeah.

To make us believe there were multiple perps.

-Who would ever buy that? -Well, you just bought it.

Forensics also believes it's, uh… the same person.

I can't shake the 112 call that woman made.

If it's real… …then she's our first victim, right?

It's been 18 hours and there's still no trace of her.

It can't be fake. She sounds terrified.

- 112. What's your emergency? - Help me.

-You… you need to help me. - Can you hear me?

-What can we do to help? - There's a man here.

I need you to help me!

-He's got a knife! - A knife?

Help! He's gonna kill me!

Hey, give me back my sweatshirt!

- I know! - Daddy's home. Hey!

- Hey, honey. How are you? -I'm all right.

- Mm? -But you look serious.

-A serious papa. -A seriously hungry papa.

-Welcome home. - Thanks.

-Hi, darling. -You okay?

-Yeah, I'm good. -Do you need anything, or…?

Nah. I just wanna have dinner.

-I'm starved! -Mm.

Hey, so on a totally different note…

And probably the last thing you wanna talk about.

But… your birthday.

-Mm. - This Thursday.

I thought it'd be nice to do something for it.

Maybe invite Alfred?

Yeah, it's…

I don't know if now would be the right time.

Hm. Is it ever going to be the right time?
