He'll do anything to get information from a suspect, including enhanced interrogation techniques. It's classic good cop/bad cop, and together with their team they bring down dangerous criminals lurking in the seedy Stockholm underworld. Beck's a loner but he's not anti-social; he regularly sees his daughter, with whom he now has a much better relationship than when he was neglecting her growing up.
