Beck. 7. Episodes 19-21 [videorecording (DVD)]

[videorecording (DVD)].

"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. Beck's 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 19: THE VULTURE: The murder of a prominent attorney appears to be linked to one of his recent cases in which a company was being sued for serious environmental damage. While Gunvald is under internal scrutiny, Beck and his team uncover old evidence that brings a new light to their investigation. EPISODE 20: THE ATTORNEY: The murder of a prominent attorney appears to be linked to one of his recent cases in which a company was being sued for serious environmental damage. While Gunvald is under internal scrutiny, Beck and his team uncover old evidence that brings a new light to their investigation. EPISODE 21: THE JAPANESE PAINTING: Beck gets a phone call from a German colleague, Hans Sperling, who's in Stockholm to buy a rare Japanese painting. When Sperling finds a dead woman in a hotel room, he reaches out to Beck for help and soon they find themselves fully embroiled in the perilous world of art fraud."--Container.
