Series 1, episode 2

“Firewall”

The death of man from a heart attack and the apparently unrelated murder of a taxicab driver leads Wallander to a conspiracy that stretches far beyond the borders of Sweden.

A man’s body is found at a cash machine, the apparent victim of heart attack. Later, two teenage girls are arrested for the brutal murder of a cab driver. The girls confess to the crime and show no remorse whatsoever. Two open-and-shut cases.

At first, these two incidents seem to have nothing in common but, as Wallander delves deeper into the mystery of why the girls murdered the cab driver, he begins to unravel a plot much more complicated than he initially suspected.

The two cases become one and lead to a conspiracy that stretches to far beyond the borders of Sweden, as anarchic cyber-terrorists threaten to bring chaos and destruction to the developed world.
