Original subtitles

-You have bipolar disorder type one. -Yes, that's right.

-And you are taking medication? -Yes. And I'm back at work.

I have killed my wife. I strangled her.

I've taken a desk job, so I'm fully capable of caring for Liv and Simon.

A piece of tape, perhaps?

Are you sure you strangled her where we found her?

It was in the living room that it happened.

Must be a daughter. Find her.

I have a few questions for you.

This exchange trip would be good for us.

-Okay. -I want ice cream.

Do you think we could sleep over soon?

I ALSO WANT A SLEEPOVER, DARLING. WE'LL HAVE TO CONVINCE DAD.

In fear, there is strength.

Something is not right.

You need to start telling us what happened to Mona.

I strangled her.

WHAT DOES HANS HAVE AS A MOTIVE?

PIECE OF TAPE IN THE HAIR?

MEDICATION

-Hello! -Hi, it's me.

-Do you have time to meet up? -You mean now?

Yes. If you can.

-Hi. -Hi.

Thank you for agreeing to come. Do you want coffee?

Sure. Is everything okay? Did something happen?

Well, the children are okay.

Or, you know, like usual.

Liv wants a sleepover.

Yes, and that's why I wanted to talk to you, and...

It's too early.

I actually don't understand. I have moved.

I'm on medication. I've started working.

You've done everything at once.

Maybe you should take one step at a time.

Like your job. Maybe that can wait for a bit.

Tomas... Tomas, I just want to see them.

Right, but this isn't just about you.

Have you seen Simon? He...

He is unable to relate to what happened.

He keeps withdrawing into himself.

Do you understand? This affected all of us.

And it cannot happen again.

It can't. This isn't the time for us to go back to some kind of normality.

I know... I know you're trying. But it takes time.

And you have to be very clear with the children

that this is what's best for you.

It's not just my responsibility.

You want some more?

You're late. You missed him, he's already left.

Damn. Sorry.

It isn't me you should be apologizing to.

It will be interesting to meet the new boss, right?

We haven't had any information at all.

Göran had his quirks, but he really cared.

I remember one time.

You know, I'm gluten intolerant, and he had fixed some petits choux...

I didn't have breakfast this morning so I am taking an early lunch.

Right.

Mona bequeathed a good amount of money to a foundation.

That was her thing, I don't know anything about that.

So this isn't anything you recognize?

No.

Are you certain?

THE ARCENIS FOUNDATION CHARITY FOR A BRIGHTER WORLD

Well, that sounds good.

Their phone has been shut off,

and the foundation is deregistered with the County Administrative Board.

Is this something you knew about earlier?

Hm.

Have you seen Veronika?

Yes. Apparently, she was taking an early lunch.

Oh.

CHINA THAI

-Hey. -The daily special, please.

-Coming up. -Thank you.

Thanks.

Hi.

-Oh, hi. -May I sit down?

-How does it feel to be back? -Good.

You don't mind a desk job?

-Here you are. -Thanks.

It's so weird, that Hans Larsson thing.

Walking into the station like that.

How well do you know Stigsunda?

It's kind of like Älvsbruk.

People who live there and work here, and vice versa.

Family and friends there. It's like most places in this area.

Hm.

It isn't easy to grasp what really happened.

He has confessed, so that part is done.

But something isn't right.

I'm going to the coroner after lunch. I want you to join me.

Um... But I'm not allowed to.

I would really appreciate it. No one needs to know.

Okay...

-But I have to be back home at 4:00. -You'll make it.

I'm getting a visit from social services.

Oh.

Nassir.

It's been a while.

Petter, this is Veronika. Veronika, this is Petter.

-Hey, hey. -Hey.

She clearly died of strangulation. But no defensive injuries.

There was nothing useful under her nails and so on either.

Well, you can clearly see marks of fingers here.

On Sunday evening, sometime between 6:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m.

Which is consistent with what her husband said.

They are renovating. Such a racket.

-Can you show us the tattoo, please? -Sure.

Bit of an odd placement for someone like Mona Larsson, right?

In fear there is strength, in obedience there is order.

Is it something you recognize?

-Are you certain? -Yes.

-Thank you, Petter. We'll be going. -Thank you.

-Tell me. -What?

-Tell me. What happened in there? -Nothing.

-Are you certain? -Yes.

Hm...

-I need your help with something. -Now?

Yes. Her husband said

that she was suffering from what he calls weak nerves.

We need to check out if there is any evidence of that.

She apparently had irrational outbursts, and had one when he strangled her.

While we're here, you can go and get Mona Larsson's journal.

-Hi. -Hi.

Veronika Gren from the police.

We're working on a preliminary investigation,

so I need to see Mona Larsson's journal.

-She came in dead on Monday morning. -Okay, I’m just going to make a call.

Will you take over?

Excuse me, can you move?

Veronika, it's sorted.

-Right, here it is. -Thank you.

LARSON, MONA CARE NOTES, EMERGENCY ROOM

But this one only goes back to 2012.

Well, that's how long we save things digitally.

-Excuse me, can you contact... -Yeah?

Veronika? I'm glad you're here.

I was about to call the police. It's okay.

We have a suspected case of poisoning and first tests indicate phosphorus.

But that feels very strange in the modern age.

Um, I have to...

She is stable now and just getting a new IV.

The nurse will come get you when she's ready to talk.

Yeah, but...

I need someone to relieve me. I have an appointment, I need to...

Okay, bye. Hello. Can I go in?

Yes, she is calm and conscious. But, well, a little fragile.

-What's her name? -Nathalie.

Hi, Nathalie. My name is Veronika. I'm with the police.

Are you up to speaking to Veronika?

-I was not poisoned. -Okay.

It feels so silly. I take a lot of supplements, vitamins, and stuff.

I think I may have mixed them up and taken too much.

What supplements do you take?

Um...

Some natural remedies.

Ashwagandha and sulfur, phosphorus...

Why do you take phosphorus?

Well, I read online

that it's supposed to be good for your metabolism.

Thanks. I have no more questions right now.

Get well, Nathalie.

We found a piece of builder's tape entangled in Mona's hair.

We have found no such tape in your home.

How could it have ended up there?

-Maybe on her evening walk. -So, she went on an evening walk?

You said you'd been home all evening.

Yes, but before we ate...

Well, I don't really know. I can't remember everything.

I strangled her, as I have told you.

There. That's what you're looking for. Special order to the store.

The blue marking is from the "J."

Yes, that's the one. Do you still have it?

No, I used to order it five, six years ago.

But it got too expensive.

Okay, there's no way to find out who bought it?

No, it was an advertising thing. We gave it away for free. Sorry.

Damn!

Speak of the devil. Here she comes.

-I told you she would be here. -You did. But I...

-Hi there. -Hi, Veronika.

-I got stuck at work. -Yes, I understand.

But I have to get going. I would have appreciated if you'd been in touch.

There are others in your situation.

-But, please... -We can schedule another visit.

That may take a few weeks, I fear.

-Please. -I'm sorry. Call the office.

Let's go.

Come.

-Here. -Thanks.

Why do you have a social services lady nipping at your heels?

Because my husband, or my future ex-husband and I

are discussing what is best for our children.

You disagree, basically.

I see.

Yes...

I miss her.

Your aunt.

You remind me of Ninni.

There was something special about her too.

THIS BOOK BELONGS TO NINNI

Dad gave me this diary when I got home.

It feels so wonderful to be back home after all this time.

I started to feel weird.

As if something wasn't right.

I had the most horrible dreams last night.

I don't know what to think anymore.

Had no other choice, instead he caused more hurt than ever.

I fear that it might become real again.

It's already been a year.

Here we are, back home.

Here they come!

Ninni!

Ann-Charlotte!

You have to tell me everything!

What was it like to see elephants in Africa for real?

I promise I'll tell you everything later.

-Welcome home, Kristina. -Mother.

Ann-Charlotte, would you please set the dining table.

Now, please.

How are you doing, Kristina? Is everything all right?

Yes, Mother. Everything is as it should be now.

Ninni.

You can stay in our old room. Come on.

Ann-Charlotte, did you set the table?

She's hopeless.

I'll take the bags upstairs.

These dreams, these visions.

What's the matter, Ninni?

Has it started again?

Or did it maybe never stop?

You can't say anything to Mum. Do you promise?

I promise.

-Hello! Welcome. -Hello.

-I'm going to meet... -Yes. Come with me.

Thank you.

-Yes. Hello. -Hello.

-Thanks. -You're welcome.

-Sorry I'm late. -No, no, it's no problem.

-I'm glad that you had the time. -Right.

So there are a lot of activities you can do in Tallinn as well,

other than singing.

-Like, many good restaurants. -Yeah?

And nice narrow pedestrian streets.

It's perfect. I have never been to Latvia.

Tallinn is the capital of Estonia.

Yes, that's true.

I do know that. But I have just...

Okay.

Um... When I came to Sweden, at first, I was on Öland.

I walked around and looked at that ring wall. It was a full day.

How long are we planning to be away?

One week.

A whole week?

Will that work?

I'm in the middle of a divorce, and it's a bit messy.

You know, with the kids and... well.

We don't need to talk about this if you don't want to.

Okay. Thanks.

It's not that it's anything secret, it's just...

kind of nice not to think about it all the time.

So it's good that we did this tonight.

Are you staying overnight?

For how long did you say you'd rented this place?

It's just temporary. Why do you ask?

Well, that couch really matches your personality.

Funny.

I start really early tomorrow, so I'm going to go now.

-Okay? -Got it.

I went to church today.

It feels like a different world compared to the church in the mission.

Ann-Charlotte. Come along.

Coming.

Greet Father Aaron properly now. He has asked a lot about you.

-Greetings, Father Aaron. -So good to see you again.

I hope the trip home went well.

There were no obstacles. Everything is as it should be.

Lovely!

I look forward to long conversations about school construction and the mission.

We can begin now, Karin.

-How is she doing? -Since her parents died,

she has helped out a lot here in the parish.

We are very grateful.

Her brother, on the other hand, isn't much to write home about.

He's never set foot in church, but stands there and stares anyway.

-Come on, girls! -Welcome.

-Come along, girls. -Thank you, Karin.

It’s nice to see you.

Ann-Charlotte.

Oh, I was... I didn't hear you come in.

I'm sorry.

Have you had a good time?

Sure. It was just a little work thing.

Thanks for the help. Truly.

It wasn't much work. I have hardly even seen them.

Simon has been playing all evening.

-You can't get two words out of him. -No.

No, they could probably have been alone here for a few hours.

But I just want them to feel safe after everything that's happened.

Um...

Do you see Veronika at all?

Yes, of course.

-How is she doing? -Fine.

-Well, I have to go home. -Yes.

But if you want help with the children again, just call.

I'm always there for the children, you know.

Yes. Thank you. Thank you, bye.

It's kind of you to help out, Ninni.

Even though I know you don't have a choice.

I don't mind it. I like being here.

Hey.

So this is where you are.

I should have bloody known.

Take it easy.

Do you think I don't get it?

You're selling our family farm to that one.

He won't set foot on my land. Over my dead body.

Is everything all right? Is something weighing on you? Come.

Well, it happened once, last year in Kenya.

A woman had joined our parish...

and I saw her in my dream.

She had big wounds, and there was blood everywhere. It was terrible.

But it wasn't a dream.

Because a few days later, they found her...

beaten to death.

And now you're seeing something similar about Karin.

I'm going to ask God. He will provide the answers.

Hello! I haven't said hello to you.

My name is Klara Bazinski. I'm your new boss.

Hi. Veronika Gren.

Yes, right. I've actually heard a lot about you.

Great! Well, see you around.

The new police chief, right? "Klara..."

So, what do you think? I mean, she is from Stockholm.

Just like Nassir. Do you think they know each other?

What? Who?

Police, Lotta Lindblad.

No, it's fine.

-I need to talk to you. -Okay.

I think I may have seen someone who is in danger.

-Who? -I don't know.

-What did you see? -It was a woman.

Long dark hair. Young.

So call Fredde. I have no fucking idea where his stuff is.

No, but I already...

Where are you going?

The dentist.

Hello. I'm sorry to show up unannounced, but we need to talk to Henrietta again.

-Right, Nasser? -Nassir.

Right. Is it important?

Her father has murdered her mother.

Yes, it is important that we get to talk to her.

I think you do yourself a disservice, trying to press her for answers.

She is clearly in shock.

Take off your shoes, please.

The police are here again. Okay?

Hello, Henrietta.

Hello.

Um...

I get that this is hard, Henrietta,

but we're trying to find out what happened,

so it is important that you answer our questions. Okay?

Good.

Has anything happened that you didn't dare tell anyone?

Think about it.

No. No.

-Nothing? -No!

Henrietta, you need to start talking to us.

We're trying to find out what happened to your mother, okay?

Has anyone contacted your mother or your dad, or you?

Nothing?

-No. No. -Did anyone threaten your family?

I don't know.

Is there anything...

Could I just talk to you for a moment?

It's okay. Yes. I'll be right back. Okay?

What are you after with those questions?

What has happened is a family tragedy.

It's murder and we're just trying to find out what has happened.

-Not least for Henrietta's sake. -Good.

Do your jobs. In the meantime, she is safe here with me.

Okay. What was your deal?

I have a hard time with religion.

War and genocide in the name of some damned god.

It's about controlling people.

It always was.

Hey.

The results from Henrietta's DNA test.

How are things going?

A lot of new things have emerged about the Stigsunda strangulation.

-Okay, I'm listening. -We still have a lot of loose ends.

We have a lot of people we need to talk to.

"We"? Okay, what are you saying?

Do you want more resources on the case? A colleague? What...?

-It would help. -I see. Anyone in particular in mind?

Veronika Gren is good.

-You've been transferred. -What?

Did she say I was to work on the investigation?

No, I said it.

There is something we have to inform you of, Hans.

We took a DNA sample on Henrietta,

and the results show that you are not her biological father.

Is this something you were aware of?

What are you saying?

Was that what the argument was about?

Do you know who Henrietta's father is?

Is Henrietta in danger?
