Wallander 01: Before the Frost (Wallander - Innan frosten) Page #6

- Stop it...

- Have you been worried?

- Yes, is that so strange?

l guess not...

Well, yes. lt's unusual

that you're concerned about me.

Really? You've been

a police officer for 30 years now.

And your daughter never knew

if you'd come home at night.

Or if you would end up

with a great big hole in your head.

So don't act surprised

when your kid says she's worried.

- You're a strange man.

- ls that the way you saw things?

- That's how cops' kids think.

- You decided to become a cop.

- l don't have any kids.

- You might, one day...

- Then l'll quit.

- Good cops can't quit.

They allow themselves

to be ground down

without doing a thing to stop it.

- Why is that?

- The job absorbs you.

You don't even notice that you're

losing your wife and child.

Then all you have left is your badge.

You're nothing

without that damn badge.

- You cling to it.

- Why does that have to happen to me?

Because you're like me.

You and l are so bloody alike!

You're not

the only one who's worried.

But you learn to block it out.

lt's always there, though.

You worry about...

...losing the best thing

in your life.

- That you won't be around.

- You are...

You're in the same place

you always were.

lt took me years to realize

that l had to come here...

...if we were going

to have a relationship or not.

- So you came here.

- That's right, l'm here.

Good night, Dad.

- Who is she?

- Malin Krantz, the sexton says.

- What was her line of work?

- She was a local doctor.

Okay... Thank you.

Malin Krantz was a gynaecologist.

Her specialty was abortions.

This is a ritual killing.

- Who would do such a thing, and why?

- Fanatical anti-abortionists.

Check out the churches in

the neighbourhood, every last creed.

- Could that Bible be a clue?

- Sure. - What about the translation?

lt should be ready,

l'll have someone go get it.

Here it is.

Linda?

We have to finish

cordoning off the area.

""Only the Lord may give life

and only the Lord may take a life.""

""Anyone attempting

to take the Lord's place,

will be subjected

to the flaming wrath of God.""

""The flaming wrath of God""...

""And the children

to whom the Lord has not given life

will drown in the Flood.""

- ""J. Jones.""

- J. Jones? Let me have a look.

What if it's Jim Jones?

The leader of Jonestown.

mass suicide in Guyana in the 70s.

lt says ""The People's Temple""

in this Bible, that was his cult.

This just gets better and better...

Don't you think l've called my faith

into question as well?

l've been plagued by doubt

countless times,

but every time l reach the conclusion

that this is the only way.

This is only the beginning.

We have greater missions
