The Hypnotist (Hypnotisören)

Jump! Come on, red team. One more time!

And slam the ball in the basket! Yes! Good work!

We received a call about a possible homicide in Ekbacken's gymnasium.

34-2610 and 34-9220 you are on roadblocks and witness testimonies. Over.

9220 here. Copy that.

Joona Linna, National Police. Where can I step?

If you stay along the blue line you should be fine.

- Do we know who he is? - Yes. His name is Anders Ek.

47 years. He was a gym teacher here.

We have multiple wounds from a sharp weapon.

A knife or something similar.

Joona, they called me. This is not a case for us. Go home.

Has his family been notified?

Yes, by the police. Now go home and get some rest.

I'm on my way.

Alright, keep us updated. Over and out.

9022 here. We are at the murder victim's house.

We need paramedics and reinforcements at Inskärsvägen 5. Tell them to hurry.

Understood. Paramedics should be there in about 5 - 10 minutes. Over.

- Did you call 911? - Yes.

Joona Linna, National Police. I was nearby. Was it here?

Are you okay? What is it that's happened?

I saw that something wasn't right. It's sick.

Paramedics are on their way.

I'll go out and meet them.

What the hell...?!

Patient has been stabbed, is unconscious, low respiratory rate, blood pressure: 60

High pulse, no heartbeat on the left side.

- Who are you? - Joona Linna from the police.

Wait here.

Ok, I'm ready with the intubation. Connect a ringer's solution.

Take a BAS-test and determine the blood type.

Hi, Josef. I need to check your eyes. It's not dangerous.

- We will continue the treatment. - Definitely.

- You have to wait. - How is his condition?

Serious. There's a chance he won't make it.

I have to talk to him.

- He can't talk. - Please, let me try?

His entire family has been killed. Mother, father, sister.

Impossible. The boy can't talk at the moment.

You can buy some snacks while you wait. I have a patient waiting.

Hello, Magdalene. Sorry I'm calling

you so late, but it's an emergency.

Yes, there is a witness. A boy, but he can't be questioned.

I don't even know if he'll survive.

We could end up with purely technical evidence and no witnesses.

Find out what you can and come over here. Okay?

- Maybe there's a way. - Hold on. I have to go. Yes?

Maybe there's a way.

Erik?

Erik. Your phone.

Erik!

- I can talk to him if you want. - Okay.

- Pick it up. - Erik Maria Bark.

This is Assistant Commissioner Inspector Joona Linna.

I'm you calling from Danderyd hospital.

- What has happened? - A badly injured patient.

- Who is the doctor on duty? - Daniella Richards.

Why... why would she call? Just a moment. We will do it like this.

- I'll be there. - Okay. Thank you.

Remember to tell her.

- Who was it? - A policeman.

- Policeman? - The Assistant Commissioner.

What happened?

A boy, they want me to look at. A wounded boy.

I'm heading there now. Damn!

I'm coming afterward.

Erik?

You forgot your phone.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

Now go back to bed.

- Sorry, honey. - What the hell are you doing?

Yeah, what the hell are we doing?

- Come find me if you need anything. - And the pain relief is the same?

In 3213

Thanks for being here.

This is Joona Linna from the police.

- Great that you could make it. Coffee? - No thanks.

- Was it you who called? - Yes. So you're a specialist in

acute trauma. Erik is the best in the area.

You had a patient I needed to look at.

Follow me.

It's okay. He's also a doctor.

Sorry.

- What's his name? - Josef

Josef? My name is Erik.

If you feel my hand, then press it.

My judgment is the same as Daniella's. There's no contact.

You said there were other methods.

What other methods, Joona? What other methods?

Hypnosis.

He asked if there was any method.

- You know that I'm now allowed, right? - Yes.

Erik?

Erik! Erik, wait!

- Hello, Magdalene. - Hi.

They were in the register. The father was a compulsive gambler.

I'll pass it on to Stockholm PD.

They can take a closer look at his father's entourage.

Who is leading the preliminary investigation?

No idea.

I don't think this is an internal showdown.

They wanted to kill an entire family, and our only witness cannot communicate.

- There's an older daughter, as well. - What?

The social services were involved when she

was a teenager. She went into foster care.

- Has she gotten police protection? - I don't think so.

I don't even have an address for her.

Wait, Erik! Wait!

Erik? Erik!

There is a sister. The family had a daughter as well.

Someone is out to get her, and the boy probably knows who it is.

- I can't help you. - Yes.

I know that you can get in touch with him.

- You can't. - Of course, you can.

It doesn't work as you think. You only get to his truth,

his own, subjective memories. There's a risk that I could affect him.

He has a heck of an ability to get people to remember.

A little too good, according to some people.

Can you feel my hand?

You can hear me.

There is absolutely nothing to be afraid of.

We can stop whenever you want.

You are lying on a rock. It is very warm.

You are looking at the clouds.

I'm sitting in front of you.

I'm with you all the time.

We jump into the water.

We dive down.

Now I will count down from five...

and for each number we sink deeper.

And feel a greater and greater peace.

Five

...four

three

...two

one.

Now we are at your house.

What happens?

Sofa,

sofa.

I sit on the couch.

What happens on the couch?

I'm reading the letter.

What letter is this?

A letter for me.

Are you alone?

Lisa's sitting next to me. There's a knock on the door.

What do you do?

Josef. Josef, listen to me. Everything is alright.

I count to five, and on five you will wake.

One, two, three...

four, five.

Easy now.

We have to continue.

The boy has to be constantly monitored.

- It has been arranged. - And the sis... Sorry.

- Hello? - We need to find the sister.

Did you take any sleeping pills?

No.

I promised not to.

I know where you're hiding them. You have taken four.

I'm sorry.

Why do you keep on taking them?

- To be able to sleep. - Sleep from what?

Say what you want, but I think it's all about gambling debts.

Nah. I think it's a serial killer.

Of course you think that, then you could handle the case.

I was there, Carlos. I saw both crime scenes, right?

Someone wanted to kill the entire family. It was planned, organized...

and almost completed.

The man in the gym was the first to be killed.

First that guy, then on to the townhouse, where he continues with the family.

He almost succeeded. And someone is, trying to eradicate that family...

- so if he finds the daughter. Maybe it already has happened. Or the boy.

It's an urgent matter. I know it's Christmas time

but we must take care of this.

Stockholm PD wants to take care of it themselves.

They can continue on the gambling debt angle, but let me examine the other one.

The man was killed first. The needle will give

agreement with me when the autopsy is complete.

Well, okay then.

Okay. Until we have the order of the

killings resolved. You may do as you want.

I'll get on it then. Could I use Magdalena?

Well that comes as a surprise.

- Okay, but only her. - Fine.

I'll take Benjamin to school.

What's wrong with the bus?

I'll take him. I'm going that way anyway. Why?

Good.

I'll see you later.

Goodbye.

Benjamin! You coming?

Why are you and Mom arguing so much?

- Do you really think we do? - Yes.

We have to stop it then. It's not good.

- You're still single, eh? - Yeah, why?

Whenever I call, you can show up, at any time of day.

- Every day, always. - But only when you call.
