This is the second in the 1997-98 series of films featuring Stockholm Inspector Martin Beck (Peter Haber), the character created by Maj Sjowall and Per Wahloo, in new stories set in present-day Stockholm. In the first part of the series, Beck went after a murdering pedophile. In this follow-up entry, Beck's romantic interlude with a female associate Lena Klingstrom (Stina Rautelin) is interrupted when Beck and his sidekick Gunvald Larsson (Mikael Persbrandt) must move quickly to solve murders happening on Stockholm subway platforms, a situation threatening to cripple transportation throughout the city. This series is comprised of eight movies -- six for television and two for theatrical distribution.
