(woman) "Good morning Sweden, here from the studio,

on this beautiful morning."

(man) "Bright sunshine and cold, can it be any better?"

Today we are talking about Syria.

What does the country need to achieve stability?

It's also time to think about the beach season . - No.

Yes, yes, our fitness expert Rodrigo is coming

and tells us how to get that perfect six-pack.

Mark, that would be something for you. A six-pack. * He laughs. *

We also meet Tomas Tormalm,

Recipient of this year Alml�f Medal,

he's in Stockholm to collect the award.

But first words our sponsors.

(man) Drive the light down in the background.

What does "six pack" mean here? I'm ready for beach season.

* slurred voices *

- Hey. Alexandra Beijer? - Yes.

Nice to have you here, this way.

Otherwise we'll get Alto Lind, but he recommended you.

- Have you been here? - No. - No? It'll be fine.

That's better. - I think so too. Yes, great, thanks.

Say, do you know Tormalm? - What?

Who is Tormalm? - Don't know. Sh...

Hey. - Hey.

It's your turn in Block 3

- Mimmi will take care of you until then. - Yes, thank you.

- Oh great. - See you then.

You can sit there until then I'll be right here.

So we got that, is that ok?

Yes, you did it again made a human out of me.

That's an achievement so early in the morning. - Pleased.

So they were stationed in... Syria.

Today's guests are meant to be a yoga trainer,

an influencer and a diplomat, I'm guessing the latter.

In Syria, yes, but I'm not a diplomat,

I was on foreign service.

That must have been tough. I was in Damascus.

- An incredibly beautiful city. - Mhm. Yes, she's impressive.

- Tomas Tormalm. - Ah. Alex Beijer, I'm pleased.

(woman) Are you ready? - Yes.

Let's go over it again, before you start.

Mmmm. This is Helen, my wife. - Oh, hi.

He's been with us for eleven years now. - 14 years honey.

My goodness, really?

(Both) Time flies how it flies when you're having fun.

Can we honey? - Yes.

- See you then. - Yes, see you then.

I think we'll add a little more blush and lipstick.

- Uh, yeah. - Yeah? - Yes.

- And then we leave the hair down, Your hair is so pretty. - Thank you.

Alright, let's begin.

(man and woman) Attention, five, four, three, two...

We welcome Tomas Tormalm today,

the founder of the Global Literacy Initiative

and this year's recipients of the Alml�f Medal, welcome.

Thank you, thank you very much.

You are heard to have founded about ten schools in West Africa.

No, about 20. - That many actually.

And that to improve literacy there ,

can you tell us something about it?

literacy is a requirement

to become a full member of society.

In Dakar, only 48% of girls can read and write.

And in rural areas the numbers are even worse.

And you have personally been to such places and visited them.

I meet people in their milieu,

to talk to them. * gunshot*

*screams, shot*

- No. No. - Stop.

Stand still and keep calm.

Not moving. I'll shoot if I have to.

If everyone keep calm and do as I say

no one gets hurt.

Everyone leaves the studio, except Tomas Tormalm.

- Drop it. - * Alex groans. *

*battle sounds*

*moans, gasps*

Stop! * Shot*

- Stop. - Calm, calm, calm, just take it easy.

Damned! Where is he?

Where the hell is Tormalm?

* Engine noise, Tires squeal. *

Wait. You can't drive

You have to wait for the police to come. Stop!

* Tires squeak. * Damn!

* exciting music *

* Door squeaks. * Wait!

Return!

* suspenseful music, beeps*

Return!

Camera...

The camera, level the camera.

If you cancel the show...

or turns off the monitor, then I see that.

Then I'll shoot the hostages, one by one.

If you touch the doors then I'll see this.

And then I shoot.

I want Tomas Tormalm come back here.

I want Tomas Tormalm back here in the studio,

before this show is over.

you have exactly...

58 minutes for that from now on.

* Someone is shaking the door. * (woman) My God.

(Man) We're not coming out.

We can't send this further.

What should we do Luke?

* Cell phone rings. *

* Cell phone rings. *

Sorry. * She is sobbing. *

Can I answer that, please? It's my friend calling.

* Cell phone rings. *

(Jenny) Wow. Pretty.

Not true? Styling by Emma.

I almost too a purple streak in my hair.

But that's not my color. - Tz. Coward.

I live for that.

But it's like that

before there was a child, life was just pretend.

(whistle) Really profound, Oskar.

Impressive, right? No.

Seriously, when do you want to start?

You're not 20 anymore, soon the train has left. - Are you crazy?

I'm just being honest. - you already know,

that it is not easy for two women to become pregnant.

Get seeds in Denmark from a hip Danish donor.

Alex is on TV now.

Alex has always been the star of our family here.

I, on the other hand, have to be content with being the cake fairy.

(Peter) "So, the next one. The next one."

"You too."

You have to come.

- What is it? - Alex.

- What's his name? - Peter, he's a security guard here.

We don't have... cell phones.

- Peter, my name is Alex, I'm a police officer. - Set!

* exciting music *

I see you are tense.

* Mimi sobs. *

"Over there, come on."

* Cell phone rings. *

Yes? OK.

Uh, should I try to talk to him?

That's what we do...

No. OK...

We, uh, are supposed to stay on the air.

Until the police get there. Don't contact him.

He knows he won't get shot on a live broadcast.

This is also safest for the hostages .

What happened Stanley? Why did you miss the man?

I underestimated it. Sorry ma'am.

It has to, damn it.

You could have been killed, Tom.

But I didn't, I'm fine.

Do you know the man, have you met him once? - Of course not.

Do you think this is about Tunis?

How should I know what a fanatical git wants?

I think he just wants something...

excitement in his fucking, boring life.

* She sighs. *

Sorry dear. - It's okay.

"The scheduled broadcast in the first program has been interrupted,

there is a perpetrator along with hostages

included in the studio of the show "Guten morning."

What happened? "We don't have any information yet

to the number of hostages received, not to the identity of the man either.

At the moment we can..."

*monotonous music*

* exciting music *

(whispers) Are you okay?

- What are you thinking? He has - a - gun and is threatening to kill us.

- Nobody's fine here. - Keep calm.

What can we do then?

The only thing we can do is keep calm

and do what he asks.

- * Mimi sobs. * - How are you?

- It's alright. - Yes? Are you sure?

- Mmmm. - Okay. - * She sobs. *

Breathe calmly and evenly. That's good.

Yes, yes.

If it gets worse, I want for you to tell me.

Calm, calm, calm. So, yeah, fine... Okay?

(sobs) Okay.

Peter?

We have a wife who is not well.

She'll make it for a while.

Listen, isn't it better if we let them go outside

then we won't get any more problems here .

- * Mimi sobs. * - Peter.

(Man) Entrance A secured.

"This is the police speaking."

"To everyone still inside those still in the building:"

"Please step away from doors and windows."

"This is not an exercise."

- What do we know? - Except for Alex and the moderators

there are four people left in the studio.

All confirmed employees of the station.

Another employee is leaving,

but it has not been searched yet.

The man is Peter Rosenberg, Guard at the station.

Formerly a career soldier. Has no records with us.

And this Tormalm is a financier?

There was a post about him I'll look for it.

i have him here

"Tomas Tormalm comes from the simplest of backgrounds

and became a leading real estate magnate.

His company "Tor Enterprise" and its subsidiaries

own real estate around the world.

Today he is in Stockholm to receive the Alml�f Medal

for his nonprofit organization Global Literacy Initiative.

- Are there any threats against him? Does he have - e

but Tor Enterprise made a controversial real estate deal,

- in Tensta. Many have received gigantic - r

or lost their homes.

Sure they don't exactly love him there .

* Beat *

Hey, hey, awkward situation, the whole thing, really.

I wanted to let you know

talking to the special forces >.

- they know there's a cop there. - Good.

You can count on that they will do their job.

What do you mean?

There is nothing you can do right now.

Shall we just sit here do nothing?

As far as I know, Martin, this is homicide.

You are not responsible for this.

Alex Beijer is in this TV studio,

- so we're in charge. - Wait a minute Martin,

are we there again? Who's the boss here, Martin?

- No. Someone else, right, - t - hat's me, I'm the boss.

I'm your boss, Martin, and I rule,

let the Special Forces do their job that's what they're there for.

You all go about your daily tasks.

What you always do. The clock is ticking.

Oskar and Jenny, you drive to the security guard's apartment.

Examine everything you find for possible motives.

Ayda, you're looking at those housing deals,

that could do something. Joseph,

find out about his military background,

er, incidents, field operations, problems and so on.

- But does that matter now? - Yes.

- Where are you going? - To the TV station.

Yes. Understand. OK.

Irja. Irja, do you hear me?

I spoke to Zara. The police are on their way.

You must try to talk to him.

We have you on camera 2.

Can you, uh... ask what he wants?

Peter.

I understand you want a meeting with Tomas Tormalm.

Would you like to tell us why you...

Is there a specific reason why you want to meet him?

Did he do anything to you, or...

do you have any message you would like to convey

our viewers watch you nationwide.

my message is

that you have a damn fake smile.

Out with the earplugs!

You too. Put the headphones away.

Put the headphones away.

You have exactly 48 minutes left...

Where is he?

* menacing sounds, clock beeps. *

wait, okay?

Is the building cleared? - Not clear.

There's still a cleaner missing.

Can she still be in the studio? - Quite possibly.

Have we contacted the boss of the station?

- She's on her way. But she - r

Bring them here immediately. - Yes.

Hey. - Hey.

It's ramping up. - Here. - Thank you. Are you done?

As good as. - Anything new? - Not yet.

This is Abbe Viljanen, Head of Security.

Lisbet Sten, Operations Manager. You are the Chief of Security.

Is correct.

Any idea why he's doing this? - No.

Peter has been with us for seven years.

Quiet type, often keeps to himself.

It was difficult for him, but...

he is kindness itself.

I don't understand all this.

* engine noise *

* exciting music *

* exciting music *

*metallic click*

He locked down the studio and the associated control rooms.

Everything is in lockdown mode. - What does that mean?

That he is in full control.

Nobody gets in or out if they don't want to.

He sees all the security cameras on his phone.

And he immediately gets an alert,

if we go to the locks. - Did you find the cleaning lady?

Uh, no. But we're looking everywhere.

I need building plans. We need to find a way in.

OK.

And you find the boss of the station. - Yes.

Police. Hello.

* exciting music *

(Jenny) Police.

Show yourself.

(Oscar) Police.

(Jenny) Nobody here.

A terrorist enjoying geraniums.

* She sniffs. *

hey There is no one here.

- "Esther". - But he seems - t

Insulin. - And we found insulin,

she probably has diabetes. - Okay.

I'll find out where she goes to school so we can reach her.

Till then that's fine if you go to Tensta.

- There lives a Sam Ramon. He was active - i

* menacing sounds, clock beeps. *

*babble of voices*

How the hell did they find us so quickly?

The hotel staff must have given you a tip.

Bad timing.

Is there a good time for this?

We cannot afford a setback after what happened in Tunis .

The whole point of this It's a Stockholm trip,

to get good publicity.

You know we paid for that damn award.

* Beat *

sir

- Good day. Klas Fred�n, - P - olice

Day. Tomas Tormalm.

- Glad. What could this - a - ll

Do you have any idea

what is this Rosenberg aiming for? - No, we don't have that.

Could it be something... economical maybe?

Or revenge? Personal maybe?

I'm not of much interest

and our companies act responsibly.

There is no conflict with what we do and this...

- well, I don't know. No, I have - n

* Quiet music *

Well, the situation is this: You are under our protection.

We want you to stay here at the hotel under all circumstances

and not talking to anyone. - We can't leave.

Damn crap. - Hm.

Alright, see you later.

* She moans. *

Martin Beck is here. - Beck?

- Hey. Lisbet Sten, Operations Manager. - Martin Beck.

Yes, I know who you are.

- Alex Beijer is your cop, yes? - Yes.

- Sit down. - Thanks. - She distracted him.

There would be far more people in there if it weren't for her.

Please Peter...

Could I say... a few words to our viewers,

surely they're wondering what here... - are you kidding me?

There are 35 minutes left.

If he doesn't come soon, I'll shoot the two moderators.

- puff. Puff. - * - Irja whimpers. *

Please, Peter, put down your gun.

- She won't help you. - * Irja sobs. *

I'm sure he's on his way here

he'll be here any moment.

Is there anything that I can do for you?

May i ask you something?

Do you think it was right to keep them broadcast?

Absolutely.

In this situation, there is no other way.

But this is a weird hostage situation.

I think it's personal. He seems desperate.

You must negotiate with him, right away.

We can't without the consent of the responsible boss.

- Are you kidding? - No.

* exciting music *

* Mark blows. *

* Mark breathes loudly, blows. *

* He clears his throat. * Can I have some water?

I just need something to drink.

You'll get this as soon as I have what I want.

But all this... I have nothing to do with any of this.

- What? It's not like I can - co - njure up the man or anything.

It's completely absurd all this.

They just keep going and you're sitting there doing the program?

Cursed.

Can you guys help us now damn it,

- get that Tormalm. - Sit down the fuck.

* He's sobbing. * Sorry.

Peter... put that gun away.

"The Hostage Situation in the morning show studio.

The police press officer, Anne-Marie Syr�n, is with us.

What can you tell us?" - (B�rje) Tomorrow.

Tomorrow. - Morning. - Good morning.

* Cell phone rings. *

Hansson. -(Ayda) "Are you B�rje Hansson,

the headmaster of Kvinneby School?" - Yes.

"I'm Ayda Cetin from the police. I'm looking for an Esther Rosenberg."

Esther Rosenberg is in 3C.

"Is she at school now?" - Uh...

the 3rd slept in today, they start in an hour.

Can you call me as soon as she comes? - "Sure. What is it about?"

Thanks.

"We want to understand the request of the hostage-taker."

What's on? - Peter Rosenberg.

(whispers) Take it easy. Just breathe.

Is that all? - Yes.

I approve, will you pass it on? - Yes, I will.

Zara Somas, Managing Director of Senders, who's in charge here?

Lisbet Sten, Operations Manager, good to have you here.

Why don't you get him out of there? - We're working on it.

Don't you realize what that looks like?

One ??of our employees is brandishing in there with a gun.

To get Rosenberg out of this we need to talk to him

and I need your consent

to do this via the control room. - I strongly oppose this,

everything that is said in the studio the audience listens to unfiltered.

Exactly. - It's extremely questionable,

livestream a police hearing with a kidnapper.

I need to go over this with my lawyers .

Go through it with all the lawyers in the world,

when this is over, but now we really need to talk to him.

Can you call the control room? Right away.

* exciting music *

* She clears her throat. *

(Luke) "Yes?"

"Hi, I'm Lisbet Sten, the Operations Manager."

(Luke) "Okay."

Make sure that I can be heard in the studio.

So. Hear it now.

* exciting music *

Hey Peter, my name is Lisbet, I'm from the police.

We heard your request and are looking for Tormalm.

It was about damn time. Is he on his way?

We are working on it with all our might.

Meanwhile, I want you to stay calm.

And I ask if you need anything.

Bring him here, and I'll be calm.

While we wait, please release some hostages.

Because some of them are not well.

They'll be free when the scumbag gets here.

Peter, I don't think that you want to harm anyone...

* Shot, screams. *

* screams *

Take it easy, Peter, take it easy, down with the gun, down with it.

Stop babbling on me.

Calm down. Calm down. sh

Hello?

Oh God.

Well, that worked perfectly, didn't it?

Are you sure you want to bring Tormalm here?

No. But we have to buy time.

- What is this? Better see - g

Yes. This will take a while.

OK...

Well, she wants us to make a good show out of it.

- No, Josef. - Absolutely not.

Got a damn better idea Alex's in there.

* Engine roars. *

* exciting monotonous music *

Uh, Peter locked all roads into the studio.

But I'm thinking of the new ventilation system,

it's on the floor above.

And there's also a shaft leading to an outlet in the studio wall.

Can we send someone in there? - It's tight, but it could work.

Operations here. We're sending a sniper inside.

Turn off the ventilation in the studio.

It's going to get warm. - Then you'll sweat.

You're not a fan of Tomas Tormalm, we heard.

No. I really am not.

You wanted to prevent the purchase of your house.

Not just me, we were several.

But, yes, I collected signatures , wrote articles.

We made chocolate balls, would you like?

Yes, sure. Thanks.

The community sold behind closed doors.

The municipality sold to Tormalm's company?

They bought up more than ten percent of social housing here.

They shit on the houses.

They just want that their money will get even more.

buy old houses renovate them cheaply

and raise the rent that we can't pay anymore.

There was a case in Tunisia a year ago.

One of his apartment buildings collapsed.

Cracked up after renovation. 16 people died,

Tormalm blamed it on the construction company and got away.

And he is regarded as a humanist

because of his charity work.

Absolutely no way.

"But the board wants you back to headquarters,

He cooperated in a way yes.

Did you ask him..."

Isn't that Esther Rosenberg's father? - (B�rje) Yes.

And nobody can reach Esther.

"I can't comment on that at the moment."

- "Yes?" - I have information about Peter Rosenberg.

"Twice deployed to Afghanistan,

then sent home early,

due to personality disorder.

Seeked help for post-traumatic stress."

His wife reported him for assault,

the ad but later retracted.

They have been divorced for a year

Does Peter have a connection to this house in Tunis?

Yes, it's quite possible. Let's put Ayda on it. - Yes.

Oh come on, you know what I mean.

That's nice of you to be so generous with your seed.

Well, you don't have to... - I really like that of you.

Can we find a better time for this conversation?

Yes, but that's why I'm saying it, so it doesn't get lost.

We never have time for anything. - Wait.

- Hey. - This is Leila Andrewi's number - .

She is a lawyer and knows the case in Tunis.

Come to the station, time is short.

stop, stop

Like I said, it's a damn rush. I have to get you to the station.

My lawyers and your boss advised me to stay here.

They keep their backs free.

You have a responsibility yourself. - What the hell is going on here?

We don't negotiate with terrorists. - Yes, I know that, but it's...

My husband is under no obligation to go with you. Is that correct?

- Legally, yes. - Stanley, s - h

Wait, wait, wait.

Okay. You're a businessman, right? - Yes.

Then you know about risk assessment, that's part of my job too.

I'll be honest, it's rare for hostages to be shot

but, uh...

What then?

This guy has a military background.

He is extremely unstable and has completely unclear motives.

That makes him life-threatening.

The risk is great that he will shoot hostages.

Yes. Or me.

Who does Peter know best from us?

I haven't even spoken to him.

See you in the kitchen. - Then you distract him,

while Amir gets the knife. - You don't have them all.

Get the knife, is your idea.

What exactly do you want?

What's going to happen here, Peter?

- He just has to come here. - Listen

I know that everything will be done

to get it as soon as possible.

Like you, this is way too slow.

That operations manager, what is she up to?

Do you think she can change his mind?

* She sobs. *

The hatch is open, one goes in.

Give me 15 seconds to get the knife.

And then what?

I don't know. What, do you have a better plan?

I'll get the knife, we'll overpower him.

Now come on, dammit.

There are three of us. Amir, you do karate.

No, Taekwondo.

Peter? um...

um...

yeah, uh...

I just wanted to tell you, uh...

that, uh...

I've always liked you. I mean, really.

We've been working for seven years in the same building.

And you barely said hello. - What?

No, but that, that's not true at all,

I remember that we at the Christmas party...

- Yes. On the last one, we, - w

And then there were such great drinks and we, we were so blue and we...

You were wearing that striped sweater, right? - You there...

Do you think I'm that stupid?

Come out.

I'm sorry.

- Please don't. I didn't do anything. N - o

Think of Esther. - Sit down.

Put the phone on the table. Put that phone on the table right now.

Sit down so I can see what you're doing.

You guys are giving me a hard time. - Who is she?

The ones we couldn't find cleaner Maya Larsson.

*monotonous music*

* She breathes loud and fast. *

Who are you?

- I'm Maya. - Maya, okay.

Look at me, Maya. Yes. I'm here.

* exciting music *

* menacing sounds, clock beeps. *

- Leila Andrewi? I tried - t

I have to go to court. - It'll just take...

three minutes. - Okay, you have two.

You were involved in a lawsuit against Tor Enterprise,

after a building collapsed in Tunis . - That's it.

A man pushed for a lawsuit,

his wife and child died in the collapse.

But unfortunately it was dropped . - Why?

Probably because Tormalm's company paid him to keep silent.

Well, that's how it usually goes.

The companies just spit so much money,

that the people affected cannot say "no".

Wa, was this man a a Peter Rosenberg?

No, it was a Tunisian man. He then took his own life.

- So, Tomas Tormalm has - at the moment

128 lawsuits on the neck, in 18 countries.

Everything included, from companies that didn't get any money

up to allegations of sexual harassment and rape.

*beeps*

But you can't get to the real criminals .

You already searched for criminal proceedings against Tormalm,

can you still search for civil lawsuits?

But sure, sure.

* He breathes loudly. *

Protect one, protect one.

- * Irja whimpers. * - No. No. - I

- Peter, no. Peter. - Get out of my way.

- Peter, don't do that. - Sit back down, now.

You have nine minutes left. - The hostage is obscuring the target.

I can't breathe.

* Irja groans. * Please, I can't breathe.

(Peter) This is your fault.

This is your fault.

- Tomas. - Yes? - Because of this - y

Not because of schools in Katmandu or medals. No, because of this,

a bloody bloodbath on TV.

Tom, you can't go there okay?

*pulsing music*

* Engine roars, tires squeak. *

I've got Tormalm, I'll be there in three minutes.

"We do not guarantee its safety."

* Honk* Slow down.

Then I'd just buckle up.

* Tires squeak. *

"Protect one, I repeat, what's the situation?"

The hostage obscures the target.

* Irja groans. *

Please wait.

Please, I can't breathe.

She's trying to tell us something.

- Waiting. - It's something with a clock.

Let go of Irja and take me.

Who do you think you are?

Who cares if I shoot them here?

Your daughter Esther, isn't she afraid for you?

Shut up. Shut up, shut up, shut up. * beeps *

Sit down and be quiet.

*beeps*

I called all the complaints

there are several from a Swede, registered in England,

I don't see what this is about. - What's her name?

I have the personal number here.

Larsson. - Larsson.

Hey. - Tomorrow. - Are you Nicolas Larsson?

Mhm. - Do you have a Skoda EDK 9-2-2?

- Mmmm. - May I come in a - n

Sure. - Thanks.

Anyone else here? - No.

*monotonous music*

Did you use your car yesterday? - No.

But my mom had it. - Okay, where is she now?

At work. - Where is that?

At the TV station. She cleans there.

Is that your mom? - Mmm, yeah. What is it?

* Ringback Tone *

- Yes? - I - think Peter Rosenberg

His daughter was probably kidnapped by Maya Larsson yesterday.

I'm with your son, he doesn't seem to know.

One more thing, Esther has diabetes.

* menacing sounds, clock beeps. *

* Engine noise, Tires squeal. *

*pulsing music*

Go straight through.

(man) He's here.

You know you're doing this at your own risk?

We do what we can but I can't guarantee anything.

I want that clarified. - Several here want that.

* exciting music *

Ready? - Yes.

Call the control room.

Yes. Okay. You can write now.

"Tormalm is here now."

*beep*

Let him come in. Let him come in.

*monotonous music*

*clink*

If you give me the gun you'll get the address.

* Maya breathes loudly. *

- Maya, give me the gun. - No, I say.

No. *shot*

Oh God. Oh God.

- Please. Let me go. - I - have to...

Okay. Come along. - No. - Come on.

- Give me the key. - Right pocket.

We take care of them.

(radio) "Tjurv�gen 13. Send an ambulance."

* police siren *

* police siren *

* Maya breathes loudly. *

Can he be seen?

You have no idea who I am, do you? - Uh, no.

Maya Larson.

The name tells me something.

My lawyers wanted to close a settlement with you.

I don't want a fucking comparison, okay?

Listen...

listen to me, I want to... - Shut up. Quiet.

you will listen, okay?

Good.

No clear view, I repeat, No clear view.

OK.

Alex didn't go out with me.

Then there are four of them in there.

Gunner One has no vision on Maya Larsson.

But she can't see the surveillance cameras

Gather the forces, we're going in from down here. - Yes.

(Maya) My mother and father were from Tunisia.

Five years ago they moved back there.

In a small two-room apartment...

in Tunis...

al-Tadhamin.

you remember?

Yes, of course.

* exciting music *

(Tomas) Maya. - (Maya) Damn.

* menacing music *

There was no warm water

drip from the apartment above through the bathroom ceiling.

- And then you came. They wanted to buy the - h

Mmmm. - Hm. - Sorry, Maya,

but you don't know how such a tender works.

Don't talk to me like I fell on my head.

For three years absolutely nothing happened.

Suddenly, within two weeks, everyone had to leave.

- The processes are just like that. - After that t - h

But there was still no hot water.

And you could see the ceiling crumbling...

in Mom's bathroom.

So I asked my husband

(sobs) Dani,

to shut down and what to do.

* She sniffs. * My daughter...

fia,

she wanted so badly to go to hug her grandparents.

* She sobs. *

And of course I let her drive.

* She sobs. *

Nicolas couldn't, he had a soccer tournament or something.

Maya, I think I see what you're getting at.

But if you put down the gun now,

then we'll see if we don't...

find a solution.

- Maya? - Quiet. D - a

* exciting music *

(radio) "We're ready now."

Understood.

It's way too dangerous.

She doesn't know how to use a gun.

If startled, she might accidentally shoot.

We still wait.

Why can't you put an end to this?

Do you understand what's going on?

My husband is being held by a completely deranged woman,

who's blackmailing him, do something damn it.

(Maya) Dani called me. You were just about to have lunch.

Mom made chicken.

I didn't really hear what he said.

i was too busy

It took 30 seconds for everything to collapse.

The whole framework is rotting away.

They have five houses

a castle the most expensive sailboat in the world

and you had no money to spare to renovate a rental house in Tunis.

I really regret that.

Only Fia was found.

With eyes wide open.

Do you understand what that means?

that my daughter...

my daughter, at her twelve years old,

had to see her death coming.

* She sobs. *

What, what, do you actually want?

I want you to confess

before everyone here that you the culprit in the death of Fia.

But, Maya, You do have a son.

Do you want to destroy his life to get revenge?

I can help you. - You can't help me.

But you will help Nicolas

You will give him your annual salary . How much do you earn per year?

- 500 million? - There are legal p - r

You should confess.

Maya.

- No, no, no, no. - Alex. W

The risk is to high.

No. No, no, confess.

- Maya, I'd like to help you. - Stop it, confess.

If you put down the gun, I'll help you.

confess.

We should have done a thorough renovation.

- I know. I know. - I - f only, if only...

They said it should cost as little as possible. - I know.

My daughter is dead because you You didn't care about life.

* Maya sobs. *

Maya, come on. Come.

Go in, I repeat, go in.

Police. Police, drop the gun.

- Stop. Stop. - * Shots*

* Alex screams. *

* oppressive music *

* Crash *

Medic, make way. Make way.

* Alex groans. *

- Breathe. - D - amn

What have you done I had damn it.

We have one seriously injured, two gunshot wounds.

Get the OP ready.

* Martinshorn, Alex is crying. *

* siren *

* exciting music *

We lift them out.

So, one, two, three.

Esther...

Can you hear me?

* exciting music *

Did you know Maya Larsson?

Yes. We often ate together.

Were you friends?

I thought so. She asked about Afghanistan.

People usually don't want to know not... And after Esther...

- I get it now. - What?

That she wanted to find someone to do what she dared not do.

How was it when Esther disappeared?

I got a text message from a withheld number.

A photo of Esther crying... sitting in a car.

And the instruction that I should come into the studio armed.

And I should take Tomas Tormalm hostage.

I would then find out where Esther was.

And then everything went wrong.

I saw her blood sugar drop

and just thought that she had to eat.

I was just looking to get Tormalm in the studio,

before she fell into a coma.

- Why didn't you call us? - The police?

They would have accused me of murdering them.

And didn't give a damn looking for her or something.

Should I have risked that you wouldn't find her?

I get four years and get out in two.

A price I'm happy to pay for my daughter's life.

What would you have done?

- * knock* - Yes?

Father.

* melancholic music *

I could have saved her.

You could have died too.

* melancholic music *

* melancholic music *

* melancholic music *

Why is failure remembered most?

That thing... the open eyes of her dead daughter.

Some images are burned into the brain.

When I came back from Syria, there...

I thought these images would go away.

But it's still the failure that...

burns into your brain.

That's part of the job now.

you know that

- * A dog is barking. * - Want to talk about Syria?

Maybe another time.

She obviously had breast cancer.

Incurable.

And that.... does something to you.

To learn that... time is right.

Even if you are actually aware of it.

* melancholic music *

Are you okay tonight on your own?

- I can always manage on my own, Martin. - Hm.

- See you tomorrow. - Mmm.

* A dog barks. *

* melancholic music *

* Engine starts. *

You, um... what you said today.

About it...

to be a donor.

Have you been serious?

Oh...

* traffic noise *

* Door is opened. *

- Oh. Hey Martin. - Hey.

Growing up I thought

there would be room for everyone in this town.

Now I don't know.

It's like the distance between people

- just keep growing. - W - ell,

at the expense of others, what?

That's exactly right...

to the one on the third floor, Eva-Lotta.

We're sitting in a, er, party, er...

committee together, you know?

- There is a festival committee in the house? - There is. Yeah, well...

at the moment it's the two of us

uh, Eva-Lotta and me.

But anyway, we've decided

that we're having a summer party this year .

Well, down in the courtyard...

And so it came that I had a large amount

bought soy sausages.

Oh.

But unfortunately it was the case that...

that she ate them all before the party .

You get it? So there was no party then.

You know, that kind of thing can totally drive me insane, like that...

people who just eat all the sausages.

I mean, there has to be something for everyone, right?

I don't really care that much about sausages.

That's what I love about you, Martin.

(laughs) What? Not eating sausages?

No... That you would never grab,

before the others get something too.

- A short one too? - Yes. I'd love to.

Eva Lotta? - Yes?

Can you come out with a glass, please.

- Eva Lotta. - Y - es, sure,

- Hey. - Hey, hey, hey.

Martin. You know, right? - Yes, I know who Martin is.

- You know, we're planning now Christmas. - Oh.

Ah...

here please.

Thanks.

- Sk�l, Martin. - Yes, to your health.
