A prime suspect arrives in the form of the first victim’s apparently traumatised son, who has gone on the run. Meanwhile, Saga is distracted from her investigation by the untimely arrival of her mother, who insists on showing her a medical file that she hopes will put an end to their estrangement.

The Malmo police receive a ransom video from Hans’ kidnapper, and Saga is placed under further strain when her mother turns up at the station unexpectedly.

Meanwhile, Jeanette picks up a bag at Malmo railway station, as requested, but quickly finds herself at the mercy of two thugs who take her cargo for themselves.

A young art curator approaches Henrik and Saga, claiming to have spotted a connection between the murders of Helle Anker and Lars-Ove Abrahamsson, and the assault on Hans.

However, the case takes another gruesome turn when another victim is found with similar mutilations.
