Bikers Running Guns

This episode involves the connection among a group of motorcycle guys, most of whom are legitimate, and a foreign drug runner. It has to do with Wallander and his growth, even at age sixty, toward a true understanding of the people who work with him. While on a drug run, a young man dies when his bike goes over a cliff. It turns out that his neck had been broken before he actually hit the bottom. There is a scene where the young new woman cop is attacked in her apartment and threatened. It's all about trying to get to the big fish. There is a terrifying scene where on young guy is put in a pit and wet concrete is dumped on him and his pregnant girlfriend are threatened in order to get him to do the will of the drug lords. Solid episode.
