Detective Hole (Harry Hole)

Earlier today, the police released more information

by Sverre Olsen,

the killer who killed Ellen Gjelten two weeks ago.

Olsen was the prime suspect in an investigation

about arms imports illegal fire engines in Norway.

Agnes Sj lid, chief police department of the Oslo division,

says they will continue working to destroy the network that

- What is that? - Pork chop.

Do you have a problem?

Book of Leviticus.

Chapter 11. No pig, no blood.

It's not that hard to remember.

You're sweaty.

I won't be able to work out at night. I cycled to Sognsvann.

?

What are these lumps?

The pan is not clean, no. It should be.

What does it taste like?

It tastes like iron.

What the fuck?

Camilla's apartment Do you have a leak?

THE CASES OF HARRY HOLE BY JO NESB

I

I think you I shouldn't be here right now.

You know very well

I've been through this shit.

And I won't pass again.

We had an agreement.

If that happened, it would be the end.

In that case, I think you'd better go.

Aren't you good at this?

What?

He speaks.

There was a murder. I need you here.

What happened to Ellen It was difficult for all of us,

but life must go on, Harry. I can't keep protecting you.

You need to come to work.

This is work.

And I need you sober.

Fifth floor.

Have you been fighting?

- You have no idea what - The expertise is already coming.

But she's not 100% cold yet nor rigid, so I think

It must have been about five hours.

Why?

Nothing indicates that the body was moved.

They killed her when she got into the shower. O robe and the body are covering the drain.

The janitor said that the shower was at full capacity.

Small bathroom.

It wouldn't take long to flood the neighbors' apartment.

The neighbor said who saw the leak at 5:20 pm.

It's been an hour.

And you arrived half an hour ago.

Great. Everyone reacting quickly.

, not all

I'll talk to the janitor and see if you can turn the power back on.

Yes, I know, the smell is very strong. It's the heat and the water.

That's not it. I no longer smell a corpse.

What do you think?

Black, clotted blood around the entry lesion,

soot from the shot on the skin.

Discoloration indicates gunshot close, but not point-blank.

, I agree.

- Do we have a magnifying glass? - We have.

Are you okay?

Yeah, that's what

Hi Hole.

Are you thirsty today?

The asymmetry in the soot indicates that whoever shot was taller than her.

He aimed downward at an angle.

No exit injury, soot

I think it is a short-barreled gun.

, a pistol.

No signs of violence.

A little swelling in the right eye socket.

A pair of cutting pliers or a very sharp knife.

Did you find the finger?

- No. - The pistol?

Not yet.

There's a lot of blood.

Her hand is in the water. This stops the blood from clotting.

But all this blood because of a severed finger?

, it can only be

The finger was cut off with her heart still beating.

Yes, exactly.

He left the shower on for her to be found.

- Boyfriend? - I don't think so.

- No. Stayers? - Stayers?

We don't stay listening at the door.

Do you think it was a guy who did this?

No, I don't know.

I know you don't know,

but we live here and it would be Good to know if this is personal

or if there is a killer maniac loose out there.

Vibeke has anxiety. You have. I try to teach her to live with it,

but you know that anxiety is man's dizziness in the face of freedom.

And this existential anguish arrives the moment the person understands

what can you do exactly what you want.

Heidegger.

Sartre?

Kierkegaard? No?

There is no philosophy at the Police Academy?

- I don't have anxiety. - Xiu!

Sorry.

Maybe there's a maniacal killer going up and down the stairs,

but it is much more likely that it is someone with whom she had a relationship and who she rejected.

- Do you think Camilla? - I'm sorry, but that's absurd.

This conclusion is yours You don't know nothing about Camilla Loen.

Exactly, I don't know nothing about Camilla Loen.

So why are you saying these things?

Due to a hundred years of statistics and why you asked.

If you have finished the questions, Can I continue with mine?

Great.

Did you hear Or did you see someone else going in there?

It is possible that already Was there anyone there?

Before?

And who could it be?

- No. Nothing? - No.

You will be called to testify, So thanks for the time.

- Which one of you called the police? - It was me.

But it was before they found her. How did they know what happened?

No, I was once a cook,

and then Anders said it looked like an egg, the thing that was leaking in the pan.

Eggs coagulate when we heat them, and this happens with blood.

Unless Camilla had broken a bucket of eggs,

It could only be one thing.

Enjoy.

Ellen's voicemail. He can talk.

Hey, Ellen, it's me.

I don't really know what to say, but

There is no one else who I can talk to.

I'm going after Waaler.

I know he was the one who killed you.

I'll get him.

I swear.

How long?

Since the day before of the cabin murders.

And why do you Did you wait that long?

I walked a little

off.

Miller thinks I don't know that he is protecting you.

I don't know if he does that because you are the best investigator

or because he's the type to take stray dog home.

I'm not like that, Hole.

No.

Beauty.

Go on, keep going.

Narcotics watched Sverre Olse's garage.

They took this photo of Tom Waaler entering.

They didn't see it was him, the quality is so low,

but, when Beate L nn, a "super-recognizer",

saw this photo, identified him as Tom Waaler.

This photo?

, with 70% certainty.

When we confronted Waaler with the photo, He said he wasn't there and it wasn't him.

Said you were alone at home at that time.

I spoke to the Stockholm police and with Interpol.

Nobody has any complaints about Tom Waaler of his time there.

Do you have any proof that he wasn't at home?

No, but it's a lot of coincidence

the Waaler appears in the hut where Sverre Olsen was hiding

and where Olsen and Ellen Gjelten ended up dead.

Do you only have this?

A coincidence?

Let's say it is Tom Waaler in the photo.

He got worried and went to the cabin kill Olsen to burn the file.

Ellen was in place wrong at the wrong time.

She tried to call me five times.

Expertise found evidence fighting about a hundred meters from the hut.

It had DNA compatible with Ellen, but nothing from Olsen.

Her cell phone was turned off before she died, and no one found it.

He tortured Ellen inside the cabin

to make it seem like she and Olsen fought.

This is Tom Waaler.

This is the moment that I I should kick you out of the room, Hole.

And not just because you doesn't have a case.

Do you understand that what you told me

It's an extreme accusation against one of your colleagues?

If I release you to investigate Waaler,

explode in my face if you are wrong.

I know you understand.

If I'm right, too.

Let's put it like this,

I care deeply to stir this hornet's nest.

So if you intend to continue working on your hypothesis,

will do it alone.

You answer to me.

Just me.

That conversation never happened.

Is this acceptable to you, Hole?

It is acceptable.

Operations center.

It's Captain Tom Waaler.

A colleague was killed. The author too. I had to shoot in self-defense.

It's in a cabin

SEARCHING

INCONCLUSIVE CORRESPONDENCE

I didn't find anything.
