I can't believe Martin would do that. It just goes to show how flawed our characters are, even though they're the good detectives trying to catch the killer. Saga may be promiscuous, but she's single and makes it clear it's only about sex, and she doesn't get into a relationship and then cheat. Martin cheated on his pregnant wife, jeez. It makes me like him much less.
Saga handing him his wallet in front of his family was funny. I like Saga, she reminds me of my sister in the sense of the direct nature of her personality, even if it's brutal truth and logic. I also like the developments with Saga this episode in her personality with her lying at the end to Anja.
Part of the episode is showing the complicated ethics of the characters. Stefan, the care worker who helps people, and then went the extra mile to help that woman and her kid. He always tried to take a non-violent approach, and got smacked around and bullied for it, he got taken advantage of. Then in the heat of the moment, or the feelings of resentment built up within him and then they exploded or, in a cold and calculated move, he murdered that guy. That scumbag violent druggy, who was after him and the woman and her child, to then inflict more violence on them. Who knows how far he would have gone. But we know how far Stefan has gone, to murder the man. Now the main problem in his life is removed.
Stefan should not have killed him, but it isn't such a terrible thing that the guy is removed from the world. He should be charged for it and sent to prison, and it's interesting to follow the journey of the character and what happens next. The whole scene with Martin and Stefan was really well executed, dripping with tension, such a classic kind of scene.
Another part of the ethics is with Martin and how far he is willing to go. In the interrogation, slapping the prisoner. His aggressiveness and violence could have worked or influenced the guy to talk, but it didn't. Whether it worked or not, there is the question of how far are you willing to go to catch the killer? Saga was so confident in eventually catching him, but what if you don't? We've seen numerous real world examples of killers being on a spree and not being caught, such as the zodiac killer. How far are you willing to go to catch the killer? How far will you bend the law? Even break it? How far is justifiable? Or is nothing justifiable at all? I like the two opposite views of Saga and Martin.
I do like in these kinds of shows where the police bend and break the law to achieve justice or the greater good. But i admit, doing what's necessary or right can be a slippery slope. Doing everything by the book and within the law assumes to prevent any mistakes and scandals, and perhaps in the far future that may be the best approach. But we aren't in the far future or an ideal world. We're in a dangerous, crime ridden world still, even after all the progress we have made. Murders happen every day in most countries, among many other crimes. How far should we go to achieve justice?
