Bad Blood - Part 1 Arne Dahl

From the start, this programme contains some violent scenes,

some strong language,

scenes which some viewers may find upsetting

and scenes of a sexual nature.

I'm sorry, the 7.25 flight to Stockholm is fully booked.

But, um...would you like me to put you on the waiting list?

-Is it a long list?

-No, it's not that long.

Excuse me, um, do you know where I can find an ATM?

Yeah, the nearest is by the car rentals.

OK, thanks. So, um...

where are you going?

Sweden.

Brigitte Nielson.

Yes.

You know her?

A little.

Hey, can I get you another beer?

This way, straight on. Straight on.

COUGHING

You have some food here and fresh water.

And if there is anything else you need,

I can handle it for you.

-When are we going to...?

-Um, not quite yet.

-In a couple of days, hopefully.

-Yeah, we...we'll let you know

as soon as possible when it's time.

Anything else?

You have to lock the door from the inside.

COUGHING And leave the key in the door.

And when I want you to let me in tomorrow,

I give you a signal.

HE KNOCKS That's me, Herman.

All right.

Justine.

Well, try to get some rest now.

-Bye.

-Goodnight, bye-bye.

MAN WHEEZES

Hi, um, can you tell me how to get to a place called Riala?

Yeah, sure, you take the bus number 620 to Norrtalje.

-Absolutely, yes.

-Thanks. Great.

-'Jenny?'

-Oh, Ray, I'm so sorry.

We did all we could, but...

'Jenny, I think you ought to come over here.

'I've got something very important I want to share with you.'

Now?

'Yeah. Yeah.'

OK.

I'm on my way, Ray.

How long will we be delayed?

I don't know. I'm sorry.

I really don't know.

But they'll try to arrive as soon as they can.

Herman...

Yes?

Are we safe here?

Yeah. For the time being.

For the time being?

I'll get back to you.

HE COUGHS

Um, can you speak English?

-'Yes.'

-Great. I'm looking for Mr Daniel Brink.

-'OK, one moment, sir.'

-Sure.

Hopefully we'll come down after this weekend.

Yes.

Yes, Erik will come too, he's actually thought

of an innovative and quite clever way to draft the agreement.

It might solve the remaining issues.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

OK, bye. See you then.

But you didn't find anything here?

No, I'm afraid he's as clinical as ever.

-Well, almost.

-Almost?

Yeah, this is the first time I've seen a hint of a conventional motive.

-You mean the airline ticket?

-That's right.

But why murder for a ticket?

Why not just book a ticket the ordinary way?

If the plane was full he could have taken the next one.

I think he wanted to announce his arrival for you.

During the Vietnam War they put together a special force

known by the name of Commander Dead Bird.

The group invented this special type of pliers the Kentucky Killer uses.

What was the point?

So they could interrogate soldiers in the jungle under total silence.

After the war, the powers that be denied all knowledge of CDB.

One of them was strongly suspected.

Wayne Jennings.

I tried for years to nail him.

Why were you so convinced it was him?

The first couple of bodies were discovered

not too far from his farm in Kentucky.

The man was...pretty disturbed after his experiences in the war.

Then...

he died.

Suddenly.

A car crash.

After his death, two more murders were committed

with the same modus operandi which seemed to exclude Jennings.

Then came the long break.

Jennings was the only conceivable suspect.

It was very difficult to get information about any of the others.

Why? After all, you were hunting a serial killer.

Yeah, but there were forces that didn't support that hunt.

Such as?

The...the US Army for one.

Look...

..this is why I wanted you to come over here, Jenny.

There's been something on my mind for years

and I wanted to share it with somebody.

I trust you. What I'm about to tell you,

you can't say this to anybody in your group.

Promise?

-I believe K is an agent.

-What?

Yes, an agent.

With the CIA.

The thing is... Come, let's move on.

Ten years ago, after 9/11 I began to suspect that K worked for the CIA.

My suspicions have increased ever since.

I believe he's been sent to Sweden on a special mission.

What kind of mission?

Probably something to do with terrorist activities.

Yes, I understand what you're saying,

but there's nothing we can do about that from here.

I can't guarantee their safety for very much longer. No!

We have to...

OK. OK, fine.

Bye.

Fuck.

Um, Masid just saw a guy down the beach with binoculars.

OK.

-RAY:

-'This is a compendium of the Kentucky Killer's activities

'in the last 30 years.'

'This is his first victim, in 1975.

'46 years old.

'Two berry pickers found him two weeks after his death

'in northwest Kentucky.'

'Most of his body parts had been slashed and maimed.'

'The next victim is still unidentified.'

'No traces of the perpetrator...'

-OVERLAPPING:

-'Identified...' 'Missing...' 'Dead...'

'Forensics show surgical...'

'Were brutally detached, again, the same modus operandi...'

'Holes in the throat...' 'One of K, the Kentucky Killer.'

Under other circumstances that would have been a most enjoyable dinner.

-But now it was only partly enjoyable?

-Somewhat like that.

You know what I mean.

K has the disturbing ability to poison the environment.

He'll soon be caught.

You think so?

Yes.

Hey...

..I could be tempted with a drink back at your hotel.

If you promise to drive me to the airport afterwards.

I promise!

OK. OK, can you take care of this, please?
