Kenneth Branagh returns for a second season as detective Kurt Wallander.

An elderly couple is brutally assaulted in their rural farmhouse. As Swedish inspector Wallander arrives at the scene, he holds the old woman as she dies, shouting to her one final, urgent question — "Who did this?"

The press takes hold of the foreigner angle, inciting swift and deadly retribution against local migrant workers.

But there is more to the case — a potential mistress, a lost son and a large sum of money. Wallander's inquiry takes him deep into his own damaged psyche, forcing him to examine and question his own motives before he can even begin to understand those of a killer.

Thursday at 8 p.m. on PBS-HD 6.
