Hey what's up guys
Today I'll show you a mystery thriller film: "Department Q: The Keeper of the Lost Causes"
Spoilers ahead, watch out and take care
The movie begins with a police investigator named Carl, sitting in a car with two colleagues
Carl suddenly goes out and walks towards a house, so his colleagues follow him,
and remind him that they should wait for backup
However, Carl is stubborn and refuses to follow orders,
so his colleagues have no choice, but to follow him inside
The first thing they see is a fat guy with a gunshot wound on his head
After seeing that, Carl's colleagues tell him they should get back in the car and wait
Suddenly, a mysterious man appears out of nowhere, and shoots them
The three policemen quickly fall onto the ground, while the shooter flees
Three months after that incident, Carl returns to work and talks to his boss
His boss informs him that he will be removed from the Homicide Department,
because of his stubbornness to abide by the rules, and lack of leadership skills
Also, his other colleagues do not want to work with him because of his attitude
Then, the boss says that there is a new department called Department Q
The department handles cases that have been unsolved for twenty years;
and Carl's job would be to go through the cases to find any errors
It would be three years of work behind the desk,
but Carl's boss tells him that he will have help from an assistant
Later that day, Carl visits his best friend,
who is paralyzed from the shooting incident that happened to them
Carl shares that his wife ended things with him after the incident;
while his best friend expresses that he has lost hope of getting better,
and he is just waiting for death
The following day, Carl goes to the new department, and he meets his assistant, Assad
Assad warmly welcomes Carl, and he says that he had taken the initiative to tidy up Carl's office
Assad says that he chose some cases for them to start with
However, Carl rudely says that sorting out unsolved cases is a job for people near retirement
Assad dismisses Carl's attitude, he informs Carl to choose a case, and he leaves after
Carl looks at the posted pictures on the wall,
and a case about a female victim, catches his attention
Following that, Carl starts to reinvestigate the case with Assad's help
the case happened five years ago,
and based on the report, the victim went on a ferry with her mentally disabled brother,
and committed suicide by jumping from it
However, the victim's body was never found
Carl does not believe that the victim would go on a ferry with her brother,
and commit suicide for no reason
Then, the scene transitions back to the day before the victim's disappearance
the victim was an important member of the parliament department;
and at home, she was a loving sister to her brother
Then the scene transitions back and forth between the present day,
and the events before the victim's disappearance
Carl and Assad read the witnesses' statement, about seeing the victim and her brother on the ferry
A witness saw them fighting on the deck, and after that,
other witnesses saw that the victim was alone in the café;
while a man saw the brother with a guy in a dark raincoat
Then, the victim went to the container parking lot, and she found her brother there
the victim walked towards her brother,
and suddenly the man in the dark raincoat came out,
and put his handkerchief doused with chloroform over the victim's face
Right then, the victim lost consciousness
Seeing that, the brother repeatedly pounded the car in front of him
Afterward, the victim woke up in a dark room, and immediately worried about her brother
the victim pounded on the door and windows,
but no one answered, until a bright light enlightened the room
Then a man's voice informed the victim that she was inside a pressure chamber
There were two buckets on the floor for food and toilet,
and she was told they would be replaced every day using the hatch
the victim pleaded to let her out,
but the man refused and increased the pressure by two atmospheres, which caused pain to the victim
After that, the light went out, while the victim had no choice but to endure the pain
Later that day, Carl meets up with another detective that handled the victim's case
Carl rudely asks about the case, so the detective leaves him without answering
The following day, Carl and Assad go to the nursing home where the victim's brother is staying
On the way to the dining room,
the psychiatrist informs them that the brother got into a car accident when he was eight,
that provoked brain trauma, which is the leading cause of his current mental state
The brother lost his parents that day, and cannot accept that it happened
After his sister's disappearance, his condition worsened
Then, the psychiatrist warns them that if they ever upset the brother in any way,
there is going to be a problem
Carl then sits with the brother, while Assad stays at the door to observe them
Carl immediately asks him a series of questions
However, the victim's brother does not even look at Carl, because he dislikes new voices
Carl persistently instructs him to look and talk to him;
but he remains unmoved, so Carl and Assad had no choice but to leave the place
The following day, Carl and Assad visit a man, who was once involved with the victim
The man worked in the government, and he had a secret relationship with the victim,
even though he was married
The man is confused why the victim's case was reopened; but Assad and Carl refuse to tell him why
Later that day, Assad decides to visit the victim's brother alone, to get to know him better
On the other hand, Carl meets up with the victim's former secretary at a bar
Carl asks about the men in the victim's life,
because he theorizes that someone close to the victim committed the crime
So the former secretary shares that a month before the victim disappeared,
the victim got involved with a man while they were at a congress gathering in Sweden
Then, the scene transitions to the victim counting her days in the pressure chamber
Every day, the victim cites the date, her name, and her brother's,
and she reminds herself that she can survive
The man congratulates the victim for surviving,
and he increases the pressure again, which causes pain to the victim
Back to Carl and Assad, Carl shares the information he got from the victim's former secretary;
and he instructs Assad to get the list of participants from the congress gathering
Within that day, Carl and Assad receive the list of participants,
but they are by invitations and pictures
They quickly get into work, and sort out the invitations using the participants' gender
After that, Carl calls the hotel management, and asks for the event's pictures
Assad consistently visits the brother, so that he can soon recognize his voice
Afterward, Carl and Assad sort out the photos,
and they focus on the ones where the victim talks to men
Following their investigation, Carl's boss confronts him about the recent phone calls he received
It turns out that the nursing home complained about Carl's rude behavior
the men he confronted about the victim, asked why the case was reopened;
and the accounting department received a massive bill of an order of the event's pictures
The boss scolds Carl because of his stubbornness,
and instructs him to close the case and file a report about it
Later that day, Assad brings the event's photographs to the victim's brother,
while Carl waits outside the room, because the brother dislikes him
Assad reminds the brother not to be upset when he sees the victim, then he shows him the pictures
he refuses to look at them, so Assad convinces him, until he finally looks at them one by one
They finish the first batch of pictures; so Assad stands up to take another one
Assad hears him slowly panicking,
and Assad sees him looking at one photograph of his sister with a man
Assad quickly grabs it, and realizes that the brother recognizes the man's face,
because it is the same man in the raincoat from the ferry
The brother continues to breathe heavily; and suddenly, he attacks Assad
The nurses immediately go inside to calm the brother
Following that, Carl and Assad go through the images one by one,
until they finally match the photographs
Then they search for the written name on the invitation from the list,
and they discover that the man's name is Daniel
The scene transitions back to the victim, who now looks thin and older
the victim suffered from a toothache, so the man gave her a pair of pliers through the hatch
Without anesthesia, the victim painfully takes out her tooth, which causes bleeding
the victim sees the blood, and spreads it on the window, which angers the man
The man instructs the victim to clean it, but she refuses
The man increases the pressure, until the victim finally cleans the window
Back to the investigation, Assad drives to Sweden, while Carl is on the phone talking about Daniel
Suddenly, the person on the phone informs Carl that Daniel drowned in a boating incident
just after the victim's disappearance
After that, Carl and Assad meet an officer and a boat lessor
The officer has a folder about the victim's case,
so Assad scans it while Carl interrogates the lessor
Suddenly, Assad calls Carl's attention because of a photograph of an unknown person
The officer informs them that the chubby man in the picture is Daniel
Carl shows the image to the officer and lessor, but neither of them knows the chubby man
After that, Carl leaves and scans the folder
Shortly after, Assad realizes that the man in the raincoat disguised as Daniel,
to get into the gathering, and then he kills the real Daniel six months later
Then, the two realize that the fake and real Daniel knew each other
Minutes later, the officer informs them that Carl's department told him Carl and Assad
are not allowed to investigate in the area
As expected, Carl refuses to give the folder, but the officer is persistent;
so Carl takes a few pages, and hides them before giving the folder back
After that, Carl and Assad go to a storage room to talk to Daniel's partner
Carl informs him that Daniel may have been involved in the victim's case
Then, Carl shows the picture of the fake Daniel,
and the partner tells that it is a man named Lasse, who grew up with Daniel at an orphanage
Then, as expected, there are police waiting for them outside
The scene then transitions to the victim cursing the man
The man tells the victim that he will turn on the lights outside for half a minute,
so the victim can see him
the victim slowly walks towards the window, and is shocked to see Lasse's face
the victim reminisces about her moments with Lasse, and it angers her
because it turns out that she has known her kidnapper all along
Back to Carl and Assad, Carl's boss castigates reckless actions and rude behavior,
so he decides to suspend Carl and Assad
Later that day, Carl goes to Assad and tells him that he needs to know what happened to the victim
Assad agrees and shares the orphanage where Lasse grew up, to continue investigating
The following day, they visit the orphanage,
and one of the workers says that Lasse was violent as a child, and only Daniel hung out with him
Then, another worker looks up Lasse's file,
and finds that Lasse has been living with his disabled mother
It turns out that Lasse's family got into a car accident that left his father dead,
and her mother disabled
That results in Lasse ending up in the orphanage
On their way to Lasse's house, Carl reads Lasse's file,
and it reveals that the victim and Lasse got involved in the same car accident,
that killed their parents
Then, a flashback shows two cars running on the road
The little boy Lasse, with his family in a car,
sees the victim in another car putting her hands on her mother's eyes as a joke
Then, the victim went to her dad to do the same;
but a truck crashed into them, causing the two cars to flip over
After that, Lasse woke up to see his family dead;
then he saw the victim unscratched in front of him and even enjoying the snow day, which angered him
After that incident, Lasse was taken from her mother's home, because she could not take care of him
Then the orphanage gave Lasse to his first family, who ended up sexually abusing him
So Lasse ran away from them, and he got back to the orphanage where he met Daniel
Other kids bullied them, but Lasse stood up to them, which caused Daniel to like him
Fast-forward to the now grown-up Lasse;
he was at work when he saw the victim's face in the news, which triggered painful memories
Thereupon, Lasse planned everything from seducing the victim, using her brother to kidnap her,
and then killing Daniel
Back to the present, Lasse sees Carl and Assad pull up in front of his house,
so he leaves before they can see him
Meanwhile, Carl and Assad go into the house to talk to Lasse's mother
As expected, the mother lies to them, and says that Lasse has not been home
So Carl and Assad go out, but not to leave but to investigate the place,
because they suspect that Lasse's mother lied to them
Then, Carl and Assad find a locked storage room
Meanwhile, Lasse goes to the victim to remind her
that she is the reason why he lost his father and sister
After that, Lasse increases the pressure in the chamber room, and leaves the victim to die
On the other hand, Carl tries to open the storage, but fails;
so he starts to walk away to get something from his car
Suddenly, Lasse comes out in front of Carl, and he immediately reveals that Lasse is a suspect,
and asks him to go to the police station with them
Lasse calmly agrees;
but Carl sees tons of petrol containers, so he instructs Assad to turn around the car
Lasse hurts Carl and stabs Assad; then he runs back to the barn
Even though dizzy, Carl goes back and finds a room full of Lasse's plan
Shortly after, he finds the pressure chamber that the victim is in
Carl quickly calls for backup, as he turns off the pressure and calls out the victim
Suddenly Lasse comes out and strangles Carl
Carl slowly suffocates; but luckily, Assad follows them, and he beats Lasse with a metal tube
Assad and Carl fall onto the ground, while the victim continues to shake because of the pressure
Moments later, help finally arrives
Following that, the nurse informs them that the victim is responding to depressurization,
and it will take time for her to get better
Then, the nurse accompanies the brother to his sister's room
The film ends with Carl and Assad getting their badges back;
but Carl refuses to return to the Homicide Department,
because he wants to handle the Department Q with Assad and a secretary, to do the paperwork
He ends up being content with his current job, which is supposed to be a punishment
