About This Item
IN SWEDISH WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES He's got no style, he's got no flash and he's squarely in middle age. But Swedish detective Martin Beck is good at one thing methodically catching criminals so that they can be put away... for a long time. His tightly-wound partner, Gunvald, is his opposite an impulsive man who cuts a dashing figure, is in no way politically correct and who never met a boundary he didn't leap across. 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. Off the job, Becks 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. And at the end of a workday, there's always an interesting conversation and a nightcap with a neighbor who gives new meaning to the word quirky. EPISODE 28 THE FAMILY. Martin investigates a gangland shooting in which a kingpin is shot and killed at home in front of his family. Gunvald finds himself getting too close to the victim's widow. EPISODE 29 THE INVASION Two bodies buried outside Stockholm remain unidentified, until Becks team finds reason to believe they were victims of an internal conflict within an terrorist cell. EPISODE 30 THE HOSPITAL MURDERS Beck investigates after an elderly woman dies in a Stockholm hospital under mysterious circumstances. The primary suspect is her oncologist, who seems genuinely shocked by the results of her autopsy. EPISODE 31 GUNVALD An investigative journalist is found beaten to death in his home, where the fingerprints of a notorious criminal debt collector are also found. Beck's investigation takes an unexpected and tragic turn.
