finished season two of young wallander today. so thankful they didn’t feel the need to escalate everything. like kurt and mona’s relationship had a few signs of strain but instead of making that a Whole Thing they had them talk stuff out and make the effort with each other and affirm that they both wanted to make it work. kurt and reza also argue but have each other’s backs anyway. basically everyone behaved like freakin ADULTS and it’s sad how refreshing that was...

also i was glad they showed restraint by having kurt talk to bashir like. twice. instead of bringing him back for half the episodes. do i love bashir and the weird relationship he has with kurt? yes. yes i do. but so many shows seem to be like “oh shit the audience liked this character, we gotta crowbar him into more scenes!” like? no? plot first. does it make sense for that character to be there? no? then keep them out of it! that’s what fanfic is for smh

Not much Kurt whump this season, but that's okay, because that's what the fandom is for. I'm sure the 4 of us can come up with something.

Season 2 was Kurt's turn to use the braincell he shares with Reza. Love that for him.

It would have been so easy to let the case come between Kurt and Mona. Have them fight over Kurt working so hard and neglecting her. But that didn't happen, and I'm so grateful.

It also would have been easy to have Mona just be a shoulder for Kurt. A supporting character for him to unleash all his problems onto. But she had her own thing going and her own stresses, and they were there for each other. Very sexy and wholesome of them tbh.

That's about all I have right now. *awkwardly sits back down*

surprise!!! i was gonna write this fic with a different premise and a different fandom but i wasn’t feeling it and then inspiration struck lmao. hi to my friends that like yw and i hope you enjoy!!!

Kurt technically should not have been there, for a multitude of reasons. He was there for his latest investigation, without his supervisors’ permission. Or even their knowledge. He’d also promised Reza earlier in the day that he wasn’t going to do anything stupid. And he was supposed to be going out with Mona later that night. So he really shouldn’t have been doing this.

But he’d had a feeling, back when this place had first come across their radar. A run-down (though still operational) meat packing facility, way on the outskirts of the city, owned by a known associate of their main suspect. It was the perfect place for him to conduct his rather disturbing business of killing people and freezing them until he had evidently decided what he was to do with them. (In the case of his first murder, it’d been dropping the body from the roof of an apartment building, and in the case of the second, setting the body up in a bus stop, as though it were a live person waiting to get to work. In other words, this shit was creepy as all hell (the general consensus of Kurt and his colleagues)).

He stepped through the main door, wincing as it squeaked. He really hoped that no one was there to hear it. He moved further into the building, shining a flashlight in sweeping arcs across the unmoving conveyor belts and various deadly-looking pieces of machinery. He was looking for...something. He felt that he would know it when he saw it. He continued through the room until he came to a closed metal door with a frosted-over window that was cool to the touch. 

This was it, he was sure. Something. He paused for a moment with his hand on the handle, wondering whether he should call someone and let them know what he thought he’d found. Then again, he was here on a hunch only. If he turned out to be wrong, he’d be in serious trouble. Better to wait and see…

He opened the door, which made a rather ominous creaking noise. A pass of his flashlight through the small room confirmed that his hunch had been correct: lying in the far corner of the freezer were two lumps, human-sized and covered in blankets. Kurt grimaced. Honestly, he’d rather have been wrong. 

But he’d been right, and now it was his responsibility to get people in here to deal with this. He pulled out his phone, adjusting his grip on the flashlight, and stopped. The light had illuminated something in the other corner: a large box, with what appeared to be a bloodstain on the bottom. 

Something in him told him not to go see what was in that box, but something else insisted that he go have a look, so Kurt stepped into the freezer, pulling his jacket tighter around him. Just being inside, with less than a meter between himself and the door, was enough to make him shiver. He walked over to the box and shined his flashlight inside, thoroughly prepared to flinch back in disgust. 

But instead of something horrible, like body parts, there was...a case of beef. Kurt shrugged to himself. This was still a meat-packing facility, he supposed, turning away from the box and towards the blanketed lumps opposite him. He now doubted whether they were really dead people at all, or simply more meat arranged into vaguely human shapes. He had to check that out before he called anyone. 

Kurt crossed the small room, shining his light on the lumps. There was no blood on the blankets, which he hoped was a good thing. 

He reached down hesitantly, drawing one blanket away from whatever it was protecting. 

Which was a dead guy. Pale as...well, death, his unseeing eyes covered in frost. Kurt let the edge of the blanket fall from his hands, stumbling backwards away from the body, nearly tripping over his own feet. He really wished he’d been wrong about this…

Shaking hands reached for his phone, and he quickly dialed Rask’s number. She’d be pissed, no doubt, but once she got over it...well, they had two more murders and a hell of a lot more evidence on their hands.

No service. Kurt sighed, his breath fogging up in the air in front of him, and headed back towards the door, which had at some point closed behind him. He grabbed the handle, wincing at the feeling of the freezing metal on his bare hand, and turned it, already redialing Rask. 

It didn’t move. The door didn’t move. It was locked. 

Kurt pulled at the handle harder. Nothing. He tried to push the door open instead. Nothing. He kicked it. Nothing. He was trapped. 

This can’t be happening, he thought. But it was. He was trapped in a freezer in a meat-packing facility that served as some kind of hide-out for a killer, with two dead bodies and no service and absolutely no one that knew where he was. 

I’m going to die in here, was his next thought. I’m going to freeze to death. Or else I’m not going to die and the killer is going to come here to get his bodies and find me too, and then I’ll die. 

He retried every single communication app on his phone, to no avail. The walls of his prison were too thick to let any kind of signal reach. He looked around for something he could use to break the door down, also to no avail, unless he wanted to try and use one of the dead people as a battering ram. He searched for any kind of interior controls that might warm the air or let him out. Surely other people had gotten stuck in here before. But there was nothing. He supposed those other people had gotten stuck during working hours, with their colleagues around because they hadn’t gone off on their own…

So that was that. There was no way out. 

And little point in telling himself not to panic.

He sunk down to the floor, taking no notice of its coldness seeping into his pants. He wrapped his arms around his body as tightly as he could, trying to keep himself somewhat warm. And then he panicked. His whole body shook with it, and with the cold, and the tears that fell down his face felt like they froze before they reached his chin. He was going to die in this fucking freezer, and it was all his fault...

Eventually, slowly, the panic wore off. Kurt raised his head up from his arms, which were folded across his knees, still shaking hard, and got to work trying whatever he could. If he couldn’t get out of here, maybe he could at least prevent himself from freezing to death.

First up was the flashlight. He thought that there might have been some way to start a fire with its batteries, but as he looked around he realized that there wasn’t anything to light on fire. Everything else in the freezer was, well, frozen, and his own clothes were damp and also the only things that would definitely keep him warm. A fire might burn out. Similarly, there was no sense in trying to smash his phone to light it on fire. Besides the issue of there being no flammable material with him, Kurt was pretty sure that if he ever got out of here, he’d need to call someone to get him. That left...nothing. Unless the dead people had something on them. 

Kurt sighed. He did not especially like the idea of rooting around in the dead peoples’ clothes in an attempt to keep himself alive. Then again, they were dead, and certainly not going to object. 

He pushed himself up off of the floor, taking a moment to force his shaking legs to cooperate, then walked back over to the bodies. The one he’d uncovered previously was dressed in a nice coat, and had a stick of gum and two receipts in his pockets, all frozen. The other body ended up being a woman, with a lovely-looking fuzzy hat on her head and a gold bracelet and two credit cards in her pockets. Again, everything on her was frozen. Kurt tried the hat out anyway. It was too small, and in any case made the top of his head much colder than the air alone. He covered the bodies back up with their crunchy blankets, which were yet again frozen and like ice against his skin. 

Kurt sank back to the ground in utter defeat. The dead people had been his last hope, and unless he wanted to wrap himself in freezing clothes, they had nothing to offer him, except for a rather twisted form of company. 

He was going to die. Well and truly. That settled, he grabbed his phone from where he’d set it on the floor, intent on writing out some final messages for the people he cared about. 

But his fingers were shaking too badly to even unlock his phone, let alone type on it. He let it slide back to the floor, then buried his face in his arms again and cried. He didn’t want to die here…

--

Minutes or hours or days passed. Kurt was too cold to get his phone and check the time. He was feeling less and less alert, and his body ached from the constant shivering, and he wished that he could fall asleep. But every time he closed his eyes, they would open back up again, like they were telling him not to give in. He wished they would stop trying. He was dying. No sense in thinking that anything was going to save him.

There was an ominous creaking noise in front of him. Kurt slowly raised his head, vision blurred from tears and cold, and saw that the door was open. He lunged for it, or rather tried to, but found himself quite incapable of moving. The door started to close, and he wanted to scream. It came out a quiet whimper. 

And then there was something touching him, something warm. He forced his freezing eyes to focus as best as they could. It was a person! He leaned into the warmth, unaware and uncaring of whether or not it was the killer, back for his bodies. 

Then, the warm thing went away, and then it returned, draping something onto him. He wondered what it was, and then he was moving, and something very warm was pressing up against the whole right side of his body, and he knew instinctively that he was safe now, that the person who had him was going to make sure he would be okay. He finally fell asleep. 

--

He woke up slowly. The first thing that he became aware of was the fact that he wasn’t cold. He wasn’t especially warm, either, but his body wasn’t shaking and he could feel his fingers and toes. There was something slightly scratchy covering him, and something cold pressed against his arm. He opened his eyes.

The hospital. He was getting tired of the hospital. He looked around, smiling at the lack of blurriness to the world. And then his eyes landed on three chairs that had been pulled up next to his bed. Empty. He wondered who had been there, and where they had gone. 

He didn’t need to wonder for long, though. A nurse came up to him, looking very pleased to see him awake, and told him that his friends had gone to get something to eat, and ought to be back fairly soon.

--

Half an hour later, Kurt had been sufficiently fussed over by Reza and Jasmine and Mona, all three of whom had been incredibly happy to see him. Jasmine and Mona had gone to get all of them some hot tea (Kurt had shivered, just once, but it had been enough to prompt them into action), and Reza was looking at him in that rare way that meant they were going to have a Conversation.

“Kurt-”

“I’m sorry.” Kurt interrupted Reza before he got the chance to speak. “I should have told someone where I was going. I thought-”

Now it was Reza’s turn to interrupt him. “Kurt, you almost died. Touching you was like touching a block of fucking ice.”

“You...you were there?”

“Who do you think found you? Mona called me worrying because you hadn’t shown up for your date, and she couldn’t reach you. Then I tried calling you. Then I tracked your phone and realized what stupid shit you were up to. I told Rask and she got some others, and we got there and I found you practically frozen solid.”

“Did you...see the bodies?”

“See the- yes, we saw the bodies.”

Kurt smiled. “Wasn’t for nothing,” he said, letting his eyes close. 

“Idiot,” Reza said, but Kurt could hear the fondness in his voice. “I guess there’s no point in asking you to promise me that you’re not going to do anything stupid again. Just call me next time, before you go and do it, okay? 

“I will. I promise.”

thanks so much for reading this!!!!!!!! i had so much fun writing it (i’ve always wanted to trap somebody in a freezer lmao). please tell me if you liked it and i will love you forever :)

So I just watched Young Wallander  Ep 5 and this photo (screenshot not mine) was in the apartment of Ellise Chappell’s character, Mona. It flashed by quickly but I thought I recognized Ciara Charteris. Turns out it was. How sweet, and what a nice tribute to a friend.

Young Wallander Ending Explained: Who Killed Hugo Lundgren?

https://ift.tt/2Ze4VCN

Warning: contains Young Wallander finale spoilers.

Kurt Wallander’s first murder case left him disillusioned and questioning the point of it all. He’d solved the murder and identified the culprit, but was justice done? Was it hell. 

After spending weeks discovering who was behind the murder of Malmo teenager Hugo Lundgren – time in which he was beaten up, stabbed, saw his best friend in Intensive Care, and lost his mentor – Wallander was left wondering if any of it had made a jot of difference. The killer was shielded by wealth and status and would likely slide out of his cuffs thanks to expensive lawyers and shady deals. 

It was too much for Wallander to take. Unable to keep his emotions separate from his work, he decided he wasn’t suited to police life and quit the Malmo polisen, never to investigate again (until, that is, he returns to the job in the town of Ystad and becomes Sweden’s top detective and the star of multiple Henning Mankell crime novels, but that’s all still to come). 

Wallander’s efforts in the six-part Netflix prequel series weren’t entirely in vain. He managed to save young footballer Ibrahim from a criminal life and set him back on the path out of his gang-ridden estate, to a new city and a new career. He also met and fell in love with a young woman by the name of Mona (they’re happy now, let’s let them enjoy it). And he learned valuable lessons for the future: goodness doesn’t always prevail. The world is a crooked place.

If you’re left with questions following the Young Wallander finale, we have the answers:

Young Wallander Review (Spoiler-Free): Netflix Prequel is a Very Serviceable Thriller

By Louisa Mellor

TV

Marcella Season 2 Recap: the Ending, the Killer and Where Next for Season 3?

By Louisa Mellor

Who killed Hugo Lundgren?

Karl-Axel Munck, the eldest son of billionaire Leopold Munck, and brother to wealthy philanthropist Gustav Munck. Karl-Axel masterminded the brutal stunt in which 17-year-old Hugo was chained to a playground fence on Malmo’s Rosengard estate with a live grenade taped inside his mouth. Karl-Axel met asylum seeker Zemar through his brother’s charitable foundation, and coerced him into picking a drugged Hugo up from The Cube club, driving him to the estate and pulling the grenade pin. Zemar did it because Karl-Axel threatened to use his connections to deport Zemar’s pregnant girlfriend, Yara, whose life was under threat if she were to return to Afghanistan.

What happened to Zemar? 

In an act of vigilante revenge for his son’s death, Zemar was shot dead by Rickard Lundgren, Hugo’s racist father while being brought in by Wallander for questioning. 

What was Karl-Axel trying to achieve?

To discredit the philanthropic work of his younger brother Gustav, who’d started a charitable foundation to house Sweden’s homeless and asylum seeker population. Their father had gone against family tradition and changed his will so that Gustav would inherit the family’s vast fortune instead of his older brother. Karl-Axel sought to exploit racial tension in Malmo to encourage opposition to Gustav’s pro-immigrant work, provoking Gustav to attack his detractors, leading to bad publicity and thus a drop in share price for the family company. He wanted to undermine Gustav in the eyes of their father and the shareholders so that they would reverse the inheritance plan/remove him from power so the money would all go to him instead.

What did Karl-Axel do?

He kidnapped Hugo, a white Swedish boy, painted the Swedish flag on his face and forced an asylum seeker to publicly murder him on an estate supported by Gustav’s charitable foundation, in order to stoke racial tensions just before an anti-immigration march in Malmo. Posing as forum user ‘Whitewash’, he also leaked on a far-right internet forum the location of a church which – also with the support of his brother’s foundation – was helping illegal immigrants. Then he left a death threat on his brother’s car, to make Gustav seem like a controversial figure who shouldn’t be trusted with the family company. 

When the plan didn’t have the desired effect and their father completed the inheritance paperwork, Karl-Axel saw that he had no choice but to murder Gustav. Using explosive purchased from arms dealer Eman ‘Dodo’ Dodovic, he planted a bomb on Gustav’s car, set to go off when the key fob button was pressed. 

Why didn’t Gustav die in the explosion?

Because Wallander’s mentor Superintendent Hemberg ran to push him out of the way, and was killed in the process. 

Why did Leopold Munck change his will?

Because he was well aware that his eldest son was a cruel psychopath. While he was alive, he could cover up Karl-Axel’s true nature, but dying from cancer, he couldn’t stomach the idea of giving his eldest son the family’s vast fortune when his younger brother was so much more deserving. Leopold and the boys’ mother knew that Karl-Axel was dangerous after he beat a school friend almost to death with a crowbar, just to see how far he could go. They used their money and influence to hush up the attack, quietly withdrawing Karl-Axel from school and making Gustav take a suspension in his place. 

What happened to Ibrahim?

When Wallander’s young friend from the estate was arrested under suspicion of having killed Hugo Lundgren, the Gothenberg football contract he’d been offered was withdrawn, even though he was released without charge. In custody, he’d refused to give information about his drug-dealing gang leader Bash, for whom he worked as a lookout and runner. Wallander successfully convinced Bash to tell the police that Ibra was working for him on the night of the murder, and therefore is innocent of Hugo’s death.

Dejected about his future, and resentful of his mother Mariam for refusing to provide him with a false alibi before Bash’s intervention, Ibra joined a rival gang but then refused to complete their violent initiation test. They were about to murder him when Wallander stepped in to save him, putting his own life at risk. Bash – convinced by Wallander to help – saved them both by dispersing the rival gang members.

How did Bash make the rival gang members stand down?

By showing them a neck tattoo that advertised his affiliation with cocaine and arms dealer Eman ‘Dodo’ Dodovic, a powerful Malmo criminal kingpin in business with Karl-Axel Munck, and the man that Superintendent Hemberg spent his career trying to capture, losing his family in the process. 

Did Karl-Axel get away with it?

After Hemberg and Wallander obtained Karl-Axel’s DNA sample, they found a match for it on the door handle of the Volkswagen van in which Hugo was kidnapped. They also had Hugo’s friend Isaac’s testimony about the woodland party hosted by Karl-Axel’s brother at which his dog was killed with a grenade in the same method as Hugo. The grenades used in both attacks were part of a cache of weapons smuggled into Malmo by Karl-Axel’s new shipping contact, Dodo, along with the C4 explosive used in the assassination attempt on Gustav (which killed Hemberg). Despite all this, we understand that Karl-Axel’s extreme wealth meant his lawyers successfully argued away any charges and he went free, disillusioning Wallander. Knowing that Karl-Axel was the culprit, Kurt promised him: ‘You’re going to pay for the things that you’ve done, your money won’t always be there to save you.’ Whether that’s true is for any eventual second series to tell…

Young Wallander is available to stream on Netflix now.
