Wallander: Season 3

undefined

In Swedish with English Subtitles Krister Henriksson returns in a stunning performance as Detective Kurt Wallander from the best-selling crime series by Swedish author Henning Mankell. Wallander is Ystad's veteran detective who's finally learned to find respite from the job in the moments of grace that come from living on the beach with his dog, Jussi, or spending time with his granddaughter. He's still on the outs at work, however: offbeat methods make him an irritant for management and his colleague, Martinsson, is angling for his position. But no one in the department has the uncanny sense of the criminal mind that he does. Whether it's Cold War spies, pedophiles, human traffickers or kippers, Wallander knows when he's being lied to and when the story hasn't been fully told. Kurt is also trying to get a few things right with his daughter and fellow cop, Linda. He may have been an absentee her, but he's a very present grandher and a friend to her and her husband. He's arrived at his life's twilight clinging to the one thing he knows, which is how to do work. In that, Wallander is a man at the top of his game. He's also a man at the end of his game. Episode 1: The Troubled Man Wallander has found a place in Linda's family through his enthusiastic embrace of the roles of grandher and occasional babysitter.

Episode 4: The Loss - A young Moldovan woman is found dead at a construction site. When Wallander questions a respectable doctor a little too vigorously, he gets thrown off the case. That doesn't stop him and he goes to Moldova for more information from her family.
