Wallander

Hello?

Hi.

I'm looking for the...

Ah!

(OVER COMPUTER) Hi, Dad.

Oh, hi. Hi, hi, hi...

You made it.

- How is it? - Uh, it's, uh, it's sunny.

It'd be good if you were here. How's Klara?

She's good. She's at nursery.

When's your speech?

Uh, my speech is, uh, not till Saturday.

Wear your nice suit.

- Yes. And I have shaved. - (LINDA CHUCKLING)

- Are you nervous? - Um...

No, I just...

Not quite sure how to pitch it.

Just say what you feel.

Yeah, I don't want to waste anybody's time is all.

Well, you've got good instincts, Dad, just follow them.

Sure, I will. I just, uh...

You know, I want it to...

I've come all this way,

I just want it to, uh, mean something.

Remember what...

- (CALL DISCONNECTS) - Hello. Hello?

Hello?

Bugger.

Ah...

What are you doing here?

Uh, Mr Hedeman, please.

Huh? Why are you wasting time here?

This is not the time or the place.

Where's my wife?

Mr Hedeman, please.

We have a conference. Can we deal with this later?

Please, sir, we are investigating the case, we're doing the best we can.

Well, then, find her! She's out there somewhere!

- Why aren't you doing anything? - Remove him.

Get off me!

Take your hands off me! I said get off me!

Hi.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.

So, today, day two,

we have another gentleman to speak to you.

He's something of a legendary person here on the Western Cape.

One-time communist, firebrand, freedom-fighter.

Joining us today in his capacity as Chair of the Tourism Committee,

please welcome Mr Max Khulu.

- Welcome. Thank you. - Thank you.

Thank you.

Please. Please.

Thank you.

- Thank you, Colonel. - You're welcome.

So looking out of the shining windows of this brand new hotel,

one of many hundreds,

it is not hard to see how tourism provides

one in every 12 jobs in South Africa today.

You good-looking foreigners want to come here

and spend your good-looking money.

I think it's a brilliant idea.

But we must be considerate hosts.

We must take care of our guests.

If our guests do not feel that they will be safe,

they will not come.

It is the duty of our police force t o ensure that never happens.

We in this province...

Hi.

- Julian van Heerden. - Kurt Wallander.

I have a gentleman, a Swedish gentleman,

living out at Sir Lowry's Pass.

Axel Hedeman.

His wife's been missing for 10 days.

Yeah, I read about it.

To be blunt, he's causing us a lot of difficulty.

And he's refusing to cooperate, he's talking to the press.

I think you saw he brought them here.

Well, it's never easy just waiting for news, as you know.

Look, uh...

Look, we both know this is not about PR.

He's hampering our work,

he's stopping us from finding his wife.

I was wondering, uh, if you could maybe talk to him?

You know, countryman to countryman.

I... I think he needs some reassurance

that we're not just corrupt amateurs.

Well, I'm sure ultimately, he understands this is...

I... I would really, really appreciate this.

I'd be grateful.

Um, could I see the case notes?

Yeah, of course.

I will even get someone to drive you out there,

- I mean, my sergeant could meet you... - Case notes will do.

If you give me the address, I'll drive myself.

You do understand that his wife is missing,

so, uh, we're not closing down certain avenues.

Understood.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Detective Inspector Wallander?

Sergeant Mathembu.

- Mthembu. - Mthembu, sorry.

We appreciate this.

Uh, there was no mention in the file of a background check on Hedeman?

We did put in a request.

We're still waiting to hear back from the Swedish police.

The one place in the country you know she isn't and here you are.

This is Detective Kurt Wallander.

Uh, I'm from Sweden. Ystad Police.

Good.

It's about time.

Maybe you can do something about finding my wife.

Come on, guys, don't just leave them there,

take them inside and put them on the counter, yeah?

Otherwise they'll be stinking the next time we use them.

Most of them are ex-offenders.

Uh, what do you do for them, sir?

Gym, soccer, some kind of male role model.

That's my side.

And your wife? What did, uh...

Inga? She's a teacher.

That's a nasty cut you have there.

I teach them boxing.

Don't look at me like that, that's the way they look at me

when they're not helping. Not looking.

Why aren't they looking? How can there be nothing after...

This type of enquiry is very difficult to...

After 72 hours you're not looking for a person any more,

you're looking for a corpse. Right?

- It's been more than 247 hours now. Mr Hedeman.

I've seen the case notes

and Sergeant Mthembu and her colleagues are doing everything they can.

I know it's frustrating.

But if you talk to the press and not the police,

it's getting in the way of the investigation.

You may be decreasing the chances of them finding your wife.

You think she could still be alive?

Yes, of course she could.

Right.

Right, well...

Thank you.

Come on, guys, off you go. I'll see you at the center.

We'll be in touch, sir.

- That was helpful, thanks. - Oh, you're welcome.

Yeah, um... Enjoy the rest of your conference.

Oh, uh, that's right. Thanks.

Oh, great.

- Nice to meet you. - Yes. You, too.

Sorry, uh... Where Inga was going that day,

is that somewhere that she'd been before?

No. It was an outreach center.

She went to pick up some textbooks they weren't using any more.

She never got there.

Do you have an address?

I've got the directions somewhere.

Right, thanks.

- This is the place. - Thanks.

This... This is a faith-based programme, yes?

Everything here is faith-based, one way or another.

You need it.

I thought being here might challenge my faith.

- Has it? - It has.

But not in the way I was expecting.

Thank you for this.

Yeah, I need you to chase up an information request.

Sure. - For the local police here.

Do you have a name?

Yeah, the name is Axel Hedeman.

He's from Overberga.

Okay, leave it with me. I'll call you back.

Yeah, as soon as possible.

Hello!

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello? - Hi, Grace. It's Kurt.

- How did you find this place? - I got lost.

Uh, the map's wrong.

Maybe Inga did the same thing.

Hedeman never gave us this.
