Arne Dahl: The Blinded Man (Arne Dahl: Misterioso)

-How's your tooth? -Feels like shit.

-Is it hurting? -All the time.

What's this shitty music?

Is there anyone there?

Yes.

Nikolai!

Nikolai?

Nikolai... Shit!

Damn...

ARNE DAHL - MISTERIOSO PART 1

Wait up!

-Will they make it? -Yes.

They just gave notice to another four people in orthopaedics.

-We'll struggle to handle even A&E. -That's tough.

-Do you know what I dreamt? -No, what did you dream?

-You and I were jumping... -Yes?

OK, when? I'm on my way.

I've got to go.

At social services? Anyone injured?

How many hostages? I'll be there in ten minutes.

Get down on the floor! Down! On the floor! Quiet!

Get down on the floor! Everyone!

I've told you ten times to get everyone out of here now.

-Hi. -Hi. Shotgun, second floor.

The building's evacuated.

-Any phone contact? -No.

-What do we do? -We'll await the task force.

His name is Makanga Kimbareta. He's from Congo-Kinshasa.

I'm his case worker. The family's being deported.

They thought they were about to get citizenship.

It deceived them, I thought they would get to stay.

He's a very kind man...

Get back!

Palle, take it easy! Damn it, Palle!

-We've orders not to let... -Get off me!

Makanga!

My name is Paul Hjelm. I'm a police officer.

I'm alone and unarmed.

I'd like to talk to you.

I'm coming upstairs.

-Can I come upstairs, Makanga? -Come in.

-What do you want? -I'm aware of your situation.

I want us to sort this out without anyone getting hurt.

Sort it out how?

-Sort it out how? It is too late. -No, it's not too late.

It really isn't.

If you drop that weapon...

...you can still appeal against the decision.

That's just bullshit.

You're just trying to trick me. Everyone tricked us!

-You know what happens to your family. -Yes, I know.

I go to prison, and my family...

Kimba...! Look at me.

If I go to prison...

-...my family can't be deported. -That's right.

If you get that far.

In a few minutes, the whole building will be surrounded by snipers.

They will shoot you at the first opportunity.

Then your family will be sent straight to Congo-Kinshasa.

Makanga! It's the police.

Drop the rifle! Give it here, now! Get out, get out!

-You shot him? -Yes.

-I guess you had to. -No, I didn't.

I didn't even have to go into that office.

So why did you?

I'm being questioned tomorrow.

This is Veronica Mårtensson. I'm Nicklas Grundström.

How do you feel about immigrants?

-Are you a member of a racist group? -Sure I am. Aren't you?

I'm only kidding. You think I'm a racist?

72 % of your arrests are people of foreign extraction.

That's the make-up of my district.

What are you getting at?

This.

GUNMAN SHOT BY POLICE

Why did you shoot him?

-That's what the situation demanded. -The task force was coming.

I felt that was taking too long.

Let's hear your version first.

When did the call come in?

Maybe you could paint the garage, then?

-If you're suspended. -Really funny.

Stop it. Cut it out!

-Can I ask you something? -Shoot.

Why did you run into that office? It's not like you.

-Don't you start, too. -I just...

-Did you want something to happen? -What do you mean ''happen''? With what?

Life.

Have you had therapy training at work, or what?

I was just wondering.

Rasmus... You have now turned 18.

You've come of age. But maybe they should have kept the old majority...

Kuno...

Sometimes you have to talk straight.

Joking aside, what I mean is...

When you come of age you're expected to take responsibility for your own life.

ANOTHER FINANCIER MURDERED

-Hello? -It's Mikoyan. Where are you?

Outside Lidner's place.

-Finish your task and go back home. -Why?

-Are you thick? -Sure, I'm leaving tomorrow.

Shit!

Why?

Action taken by police in the Hallunda case is now being called into question.

A desperate man made his way into social services premises in Hallunda

taking three of the staff hostage.

The man was armed with a shotgun and demanded leave of stay for his family.

-Hi. -Is it about that thing?

His kids go to the same school as me. The guy that was shot.

But the officer's actions are being questioned...

Why did you turn it off?

-Did he know the policeman who fired? -No, it's not that...

Financier Kuno Daggfeldt was shot dead last night at his house on Värmdö.

Daggfeldt part-owned companies considered controversial

for their expansion into the Russian market.

This is the second murder in two days where the victims were financiers.

But despite similarities, the police are denying rumours

that the perpetrator is the same.

-The same kind? -Yes, but it's unknown.

-None of the usual ones. -We're analyzing the lead.

It seems to be very impure.

And it's urgent!

This is Jacob Lidner, chairman of the board at Lovisedahl.

I would like to speak to the head of the CID.

Dan Mörner, yes.

Fly them over, I'll deal with the formalities.

The business world has been hounding me all morning.

-I only want the very best people. -You can use whoever you like.

Next stop: Vårbygård.

HOSTAGE DRAMA AT SOCIAL SERVICES OFFICE

One: You entered the building

despite explicit orders to await the task force.

Two: You claimed to be unarmed, but carried a pistol in your waistband.

Three: You fired a shot in a manner that was against regulations.

Four: You did not disarm the shot man.

Five: A hostage was allowed to take aim at the perpetrator

with the safety catch off.

What's your response?

-How is he doing? -Who?

The man you call the perpetrator. Kimbareta Makanga.

-He's in hospital. -That's five points of misconducts.

Which means we need to act.

Please hand over your ID and weapon. You've been suspended from duty.

Hello.

-We're not quite finished here. -Yes, you are. Can you wait outside?

-We just got started... -Stop the recording.

This investigation will be put on ice for a while.

Because... Yes, it's from the top brass.

-Who did you speak to? -Mörner, of course.

Hi...

Jenny Hultin, CID. You're Paul Hjelm.

-You've read the paper. -No, I've been too busy. Come on.

I've handpicked six police officers for a special mission.

You're the final one. Briefing is in one hour, are you interested?

-And the internal... -Forget that. This is on another level.

What do you say?

-No. -No? You're not interested?

You treat me like shit and then...

Don't you want to know which case it is?

Sorry.

Hjelm!

Why don't you go back in there, then.

-Have you heard from him? -No.

He's weak. He'll...

The dart.

-Is this the one? -Yes.

What happened?

It was fucking unbelievable.

He ran into the bank and I waited with the engine running.

Why the hell did you try to rob a bank?

Well, we drove past and thought why not?

Who gave you orders to do that?

No one. It was...

That was my little brother...

Jüri... Go back now.

Jüri...

Pull it out.

Nothing's changed.

No, no...

It's just like when she got her license.

The instructor said right and she went left.

And then she went into a ditch and got diarrhoea.

That's why she has a drinking problem - she never has to drive!

She said 11 on the dot. It's ten past now.

This is a great start.

Welcome! Apologies for the delay, I had to take a call.

And please excuse the mess. It all happened very fast last night.

We'll have to make do with this for now.

You know why you're here, so let's get started straight away.

Ulf Thoresson, adviser to the financial committee was shot dead in his bed.

Kuno Daggfeldt from the Second AP Fund

was shot dead at a family party.

Last night, the killer struck again.

The victim was Bernhard Strand-Julén, also from the world of finance.

He was last seen yesterday, leaving a meeting 22.25.

-So you'll call Josefsson? -Sure.

The deal will be done by the weekend.

-Salve. -Salve.

Perfect. That will please him. I'll see what I can do with you loans.

I'm sure we can adjust some percentages.
