Season 2 - A couple of things that confused me

posted 9 years ago by kundi_81

I just finished watching season 2. I have a few questions about Season 2 that confused me. I am interested to hear other people's take on these.

1. Rasmus: First it looked to me that he was potrayed as a failure of detective but when in the last episodes he started making his own investigations, I thought that his storyline will be that he is actually an underdog who finds a vital clue at the end that solves the case. But it looks like he was wrong again when saying that Bodil was the person they were looking for...?

Rasmus did mention about the burglary into the public speaker's house who was killed with poisoned meat. Everyone disregarded that detail at the time even though it was later found a vital clue linking Victoria/Oliver into the murders.

So what's up with his storyline? Why was Rasmus portrayed as a failure in the end or is it possible that he was somehow right about Bodil?

2. Laura in the hospital and his dad: Someone clearly tried to kill Laura with the spike that was in her bed and that killed her teacher girlfriend. So why wasn't police monitoring her safety 24/7 after that incident and instead let her travel unattended in the hospital. Why wasn't it assumed that the perpetrator would keep on attempting to kill her as a key witness?

Was her father simply gullible by not calling the cops? He outed the teacher girlfriend so it seemed that he was overly protective of his daughter, so not calling the cops was just him being overprotective? So he was not actually involved with the case, right?

3. Medical company's future: In the last episode Victoria tells Gertrud that the whole scandal with Oliver's actions will be sweeped under the rug and it will not affect the medical company. But the news was already out that seven people had participated in medical trials, something had gone wrong and they had been subsequently killed. How could something as huge as that not affect the medical company as it was not simply Oliver but a large number of company's staff involved with this?
