I have to buy a new bike.

- Why?

- The mine was stolen.

- Again? Wasn't it locked up?

- The third time already at the office.

- The third time?

- I'll get a battered up one.

For once buy a decent bike now.

I'll go with you. How much do you

want to spend on a bicycle?

- 800 SEK I think.

- 800? You really don't care about it?

What are you thinking of... You're crazy.

You just don't want to move.

All units, apparently

shots fired at Bondegatan.

Do you have a house number?

The ME is currently somewhere else.

Do you have a house number?

Number 7.

No siren.

I know where that is.

- Do you know the entry code?

- I know someone who lives here.

Did you call? What did you hear?

First shot, then another pair.

It sounded like it came from above.

- Right over here? Thank you.

- Go inside...

- Andersson, you guard the stairs.

- Go inside and close the door.

- This is 1617.

- We're outside.

Okay. Bring the tools with you.

Police. Open up.

Julia, it's me, Nina.

David?

David, open up.

David Lindholm?

You're not supposed to be here.

No, but we were in the neighborhood.

Break down the door.

Gunshot wounds to the head and lower body.

Understood. Stay at the scene.

There should be a boy here as well.

Come here.

Good morning.

Wake up, Kalle.

Good morning, Ellen.

Nina? What happened?

Police and crime expert,

David Lindholm, was murdered.

No details were released.

It is unclear how Lindholm was

killed and if there's a suspect.

Lindholm gained fame after a hostage

taking at a nursery school in Malm.

He was also featured as an expert in

"Crime Map Sweden".

Home and twelve pages.

And pictures of the crime scene,

his house, his career.

Patrik's gone to the police

for more details.

Annika, you do the personal side.

Relationships.

- His wife wasn't questioned.

- It won't be long.

The on-line version of Bladet

casts a lot of aspersions her way.

- We're no better.

- I'm not the web editor.

I just spoke to them.

The police won't say anything.

Go on with it.

The prosecutor may say something.

Take a photographer along.

- Are you okay?

- Yes.

- Nothing yet on the boy?

- No.

- Who's doing the search?

- I don't know...

- I want to go.

- Is it really?

I want to go on searching.

- Hi. How are you?

- Well, you know.

Great.

How is it you were first on the spot?

Andersson and I were in car 1617.

We were the closest.

Of course. It was a coincidence.

Just a fluke.

Who wanted to take Julia to the hospital

instead of into custody?

- I did.

- On what grounds?

She may have had internal injuries.

She seemed to be in pain.

Good.

- Good job, Nina.

- The press conference's starting.

Take it easy.

I'm Angela Nilsson,

I'm heading the investigation.

Today we arrested someone for the

murder of David Lindholm.

The defendant will be

arraigned on Sunday.

Considerable evidence

was collected on site.

This morning David Lindholm was found

dead at his home.

A second victim was taken to the hospital.

But our priority is to find

his four year old son, Alexander Lindholm.

Alexander lived in the apartment,

but wasn't found.

We're looking for information about

Alexander and his whereabouts.

I'll now turn over the floor to the police.

In Sweden, officers are rarely killed.

Here that's seen as an attack on society.

No effort will be spared to resolve

this issue quickly.

Today we lost a respected colleague.

David Lindholm was also a well-known

public figure.

He was an example for everyone, both

inside and outside the police force.

A shot to the head,

three in the groin.

- Shot in the groin?

- I think that's revenge.

- Who told you?

- Sadermalm police.

- Patrik, sometimes I think I love you.

- The weapon belonged to Julia Lindholm.

She's at the police station as well.

Try to find out more about

the shooting, the crime scene.

Who heard what?

Did they fight? And I want pictures.

I spoke to Julia's parents. They're shocked,

but the father's willing to talk.

Super. When can we speak to Julia?

Is she still in the hospital?

I'll find out.

You cover the boy. Where was he?

Did he see the murder?

Have they hidden him somewhere?

And I want pictures.

- Course.

- Good. Photos, photos, photos.

It's just unbelievable.

Julia's our only child.

Alexander's our only grandchild.

Did you speak to Julia today?

We tried, but we were too busy

with all the reporters.

Nina couldn't say much.

Only that she was being interrogated.

- She wasn't seriously injured.

- Nina?

Nina Hoffman. Julia's best friend.

She's in the police too.

She's the one who...

She was first on the scene.

- She worked with Julia?

- They met at the police academy.

Did you know David well?

He always worked a lot, but

we were proud of our son-in-law.

- Were they happy?

- We'd never seen anyone happier.

Nina Hoffman? It's Annika

Bengtzon of Evening Press.

I wanted to ask you about...

A thorough search will be conducted.

Check the neighbors, shops and

along the route to the nursery. Who will?

Fine. Jonsson will give you the details,

then you can get started.

- Are you Nina Hoffman?

- Yes.

I have a job for you.

Julia's been taken into custody.

- Try to get something from her.

- Through an interrogation?

Call it what you want,

as long as she talks.

- I'd prefer not to. We're friends.

- Exactly. Tells us nothing.

Do it for Alexander, Nina.

I want you at the arraignment

to answer questions.

- I don't want to be involved in the case.

- You are already!

Annika, you want the children

more often than every week.

- That's right.

- You don't punish me through them?

- Everything is always about you.

- I asked you nicely, not for forgiveness.

Silence now.

Annika, answer my question.

Yes, I want more time with the children.

I've taken care of them for eight years.

Thomas never did anything except

iron his tie to impress a counselor.

- And he left them for his mistress.

- No, I left you. That's something else.

Who's the most appropriate caregiver?

Sophia and I, we're two adults

with permanent jobs...

Or a single workaholic,

obsessed with crime?

- You're talking bullshit.

- I want shared custody.

Was that it? I have a meeting.

Hello, sweetheart.

Mama, not so hard.

Hello, sweetheart.

- How are you?

- Perfect.

Do you want to see a trick?

With the left.

Hey, that's good, say.

Bladet has the kid on the front page

with the hot line number.

Fortunately we have both stories.

Nice work with the grieving father.

That scores points.

- Is there any news about the boy?

- The police are still looking for clues.

- They are looking, but they say nothing.

- That depends on whom you speak to.

- And his wife?

- In custody.

Dig into that.

- That is the "where and how". Now the why.

- I'll get that today from the police.

I want an article about David Lindholm.

- The arraignment.

- Annika.

Officers mourn.

An officer with a heart.

- He was a paragon of virtue.

- Yes, he was praised.

- Like when Thore Skogman died.
