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.
