"Want to taste you all over.

My mouth on your wet pussy.

Your fingers inside me.

I'll make you cum over and over.

Want to hear you moan, hear how you sound when you cum.

Oh, fuck, you make me so horny.

Are you wet? So fucking wet."

I assume you both cum here, since the next message is,

"Have you seen Succession? Just a little TV show tip."

I've got problems, I don't know...

I can't hear you, I can't hear anything.

I said I've got problems and I need therapy.

Wasn't it me who needed therapy?

But I think I have an addiction or something.

Addiction?

-Janice? -Yes.

This is information you should have shared with me.

-Do you understand that? -I know.

If you want to take a picture of your pussy

and send it to someone other than me, tell me!

-Please stop screaming at me. -No!

I'll talk however I like, okay?

This isn't about you.

It's like two completely different worlds.

-It's got nothing to do with you. -Okay.

I understand. How nice. I'm glad we've got that sorted.

I can't breathe.

I think it's my heart.

I'm going to die.

Maybe you should message one of your 35 different sex-chat girls.

Ask them to call you an ambulance?

I think I'm going to die.

Was it a good day or a bad day?

Every day is a bad day, Sigge.

DELETE

The love of my life...

De-fucking-lete.

Is it even possible to be such a disgusting person?

How can you do that to another person?

Now we've got something in common, you and I.

-What's that? -We're not doing well romantically.

It's you and me now.

And that fucking rabbit.

It's so fucking sad, Sigge.

That's enough now.

What do you mean?

I've had enough of listening to you moaning about this idiot.

She was the love of my life.

Loves of your life come and go.

How old are you? Nineteen?

-Twenty-four. -Twenty-four?

You're not even going to remember this person's name...

-when you're 70. -I will so.

And you can't know it's the love of your life or not.

You won't know until you're on your deathbed

when you can compare them all.

There.

There.

-Is that the right show? -Yeah.

Do you want to watch it in the living room instead maybe?

No.

Are you going to talk about me?

No, we're going to talk about a bunch of things.

There. We have to go now.

Arvid's mum said you can play for about an hour.

And there's a lot of yummy food in the fridge.

Just call me if you need to.

Sigrid!

I saw you're going to witness.

Yes.

Are you going to try to take him from me now?

These proceedings are regarding Benjamin, who is nine years old.

I'll start by asking if there's a chance the parties can agree,

before we continue with the proceedings.

This is what we were talking about. You can tell Odenwald yourself.

No...

It...

It's not possible, unfortunately,

as far as I can see.

Of course I'd love to come to an agreement for Benjamin's sake.

But we can't if I'm the only one who wants to.

So that's a no from me as well.

Then we've established there's no chance the parties can agree.

We have a number of witnesses.

Is anyone in this courtroom going to witness today?

Yes, I'm witnessing at a quarter past two.

Please leave the courtroom. Come back at that time.

I won't say anything, I can be totally silent.

I just thought I'd sit in and listen.

I know you want to be here,

but so you're not influenced by what's said,

you'll have to wait outside for your turn, unfortunately.

When Benjamin grows up, he'll know just how crazy you are.

And you fucking tricks won't work on him anymore.

And he'll leave you.

Just like Sigrid and I have.

You'll be completely fucking alone!

Do you understand?

And you're the cunt!

I'm just me!

This is one example of how it can sound

when Annika drinks alcohol and becomes aggressive.

Based on this, Stefan is worried

something bad will happen to Benjamin if he lives with Annika.

I read through the family court's report earlier,

and it states that the family court's recommendation

is that Stefan should have sole custody of Benjamin.

She called him an idiot and I think she said, "Give me my son."

And she swore and banged on the door so it echoed through the stairwell.

Did Annika seem inebriated at the time?

She could absolutely have been.

She seemed a bit...

erratic.

Have you ever heard Benjamin say he was afraid of his dad?

No, absolutely not. No.

It's mostly like, "Daddy, Daddy!"

He says he wants to see his dad more than he does. It...

That's how it is.

Stefan is a typical controlling person.

He is.

Our daughters went to high school together

and, well, Stefan and Annika were very...

private during that time.

And Sigrid was closed up.

She never had anything negative to say...

about either of her parents.

I mean... what teenager doesn't have anything negative to say

about their parents? It's...

I don't know, it felt like she didn't dare say anything...

other than that she had the world's best dad.

It was like she had an...

unnaturally grateful attitude toward him.

That's what I remember.

You spoke with Benjamin

when he'd stayed with Stefan for a few days, right?

Yes, that's right.

According to your experience, the way a child expresses themselves

can be affected by which parent they live with at the time.

Yes, that's absolutely possible, but we believed that...

Benjamin could speak freely and express his thoughts and feelings.

How is it possible that you didn't speak to

Stefan and Annika's adult daughter, Sigrid?

We assessed Sigrid as not being particularly close to Benjamin.

Thank you. No further questions.

-Hey. -Hey! What are you doing?

I'm going to meet Arvid at the playground.

That sounds like fun!

What are you doing?

Nothing, I just wanted to hear your voice.

Mm.

Sigge?

Mm?

If they take me and give me to Dad...

will you come and visit sometimes?

Yes, of course!

All the time.

I'll move in.

Benjamin has told the family court he's afraid of you.

He wants to live with Stefan.

What are your thoughts on that?

We've tried to get the family court to speak to him again.

but that has been denied.

He doesn't want to see his dad at all now.

How can you know he doesn't want to see his dad at all?

Because he's said so.

To me...

and to Sigrid.

Okay. I have no further questions, thank you.

Why have you, after divorcing, tried to get back together with Annika

if she's, as you claim, alcoholic and aggressive?

Well...

I, myself, come from a broken family,

and I've...

Well, I've grown up with a father who drank and was very violent.

So maybe it's typical that I...

ended up in a relationship with someone who was just like him.

And...

Well, what can I say?

I think I got stuck in that relationship because I...

I wanted...

I thought Benjamin would have a better childhood than I did.

That I wanted to protect him, somehow.

And then when...

Annika...

When she was leaving me...

she took Benjamin with her and tried to push me away however she could.

Then...

I became desperate.

I got scared and just wanted to get back into that terrible relationship

to try to protect Benjamin at any price.

So that's how it was.

Courtroom four.

Sigrid Wikström to courtroom four.

I will dictate the oath for you, so you can repeat after me.

I, Sigrid Wikström...

I, Sigrid Wikström...

-...declare and affirm... -...declare and affirm...

-...on good conscience... -...on good conscience...

-...to give the whole truth... -...to give the whole truth...

-...withhold nothing... -...withhold nothing...

...with no additions or alteration.

-...with no additions or alteration. -Thank you.

You have now taken the witness oath and speak under criminal liability.

We will begin recording. There's a camera here.

Sound and video will be recorded during question.

Recording has begun.

-Hey. -Hey.

Can you begin by telling us a bit about yourself,

and your relationship to the parties?

Yes.

My name is Sigrid Wikström,

and I'm Annika's daughter,

and Stefan's daughter as well.

And Benjamin's big sister.

We're very close, he and I.

Should I say anything else?

How would you describe your mother's relationship with alcohol?

I'd say that...

both my parents drink much less than what my friends' parents do.

They...

I think I've seen them drunk once.

On holiday when I was little.

That's what I remember anyway.

How is Annika as a mother?

I think my mother is very strong.

She's who I've felt safe with during childhood.

And how is your relationship today?

It's good, I think.

How's your relationship with your father?

Right now, it's... nothing.

We have no relationship.

Thank you.

Do you think you're a good role model for Benjamin?

That's hard to answer about myself, but, yes, I think so...

I love him very much.

Is it true you, Benjamin and Stefan

visited a play centre together on the seventh of September?

Yes... I don't remember the date but...

Yes, we visited a play centre together, that's true.

And is that where you had a tantrum and screamed at Benjamin,

so much that you scared him and the other kids at the play centre?

No...

I didn't scream.

I don't remember.

Did Benjamin say that? That he was scared?

I'm looking at the family court's report,

and it mentions that you have psychological issues.

Have you sought help for that so it doesn't affect Benjamin?

My anxiety doesn't affect Benjamin.

What happened at the play centre was...

I hadn't seen my father for a very long time,

and I had an anxiety panic attack.

So I...

Would you say you're someone who always tells the truth?

Do you mean now?

Thank you, that will do. No further questions.

Can I... Excuse me?

Can I...

say anything else? I just...

I just got so stressed there at the start.

Do you want to add something that didn't come out when you answered?

Yes.

That's fine.

Of course I want my little brother to see my father.

I think it's good for Benjamin,

in controlled environments.

But he can't live there.

I know personally that it creates significant problems later in life,

growing up with someone like my father.

My father is unbelievably manipulative.

It took a very long time and was hard for me to cut contact with him.

Excuse me, is it true that you said, when you were little,

that you loved me more than her, and that you wished we lived alone?

-Is that right? -Yes, it might be.

I loved you a lot as a child, but...

So you loved me a lot,

Stefan Wikström, let your representative ask the questions.

But now I want to add something, like she's doing!

So you loved me a lot when you were little,

but now suddenly, when Benjamin is your age,

it's dangerous for him to live with me?

Does that sound logical? I just...

We were very close before, we were.

I had no other friends because you didn't let me have any friends!

If you have no friends...

Stefan Wikström! This is outside the hearing.

Discuss it with your representative.

-If you had no friends... -Stop recording.

...maybe the problem is you, have you considered that?

Can I just... I have a really hard time being happy in myself.

-Because of my childhood. -Oh dear.

-And whose fault is that? -It's your fault!

-It is not. -It is!

I feel lonely all the time.

I feel ugly and worthless,

and that I'm stupid,

that I can't do anything, that I'm not good enough for anything.

And... I get scared

when someone I feel safe with closes a kitchen cupboard fast

because you used to scare me like that.

I have memories of you calling me a cunt,

that you feel sorry for who I end up with,

which might be right, but don't say it to your child!

You can't blame those around you for your problems.

You're the problem, don't you get that?

-Sit down, Stefan. -No!

Do they get to sit just make up whatever they like?

I'm not making it up!

Do you lie like this to Benjamin too, to turn him against me?

I don't say anything bad about you to Benjamin,

-I really don't... -You lie all the fucking time

like a stinking fucking disgusting pig!

You are a fucking cunt!

We'll stop this right here.

-Fuck. -Sit down, Stefan.

The parties will then complete their cases,

and after the court's deliberation, the judgement will be handed down.

-Calm down now. -Yes.

I shouldn't have had kids with him.

I'm sorry.

I didn't know.

Don't say that.

I'm happy I exist.

Me too.

Thank you for that.

Courtroom four.

The court will deliver the verdict in the lawsuit

between Stefan Wikström and Annika Törnqvist.

Parties and representation called to courtroom four.

The district court delivers the following judgement:

Annika Törnqvist shall have sole custody of Benjamin Wikström.

Benjamin Wikström has the right to socialise with Stefan Wikström

twice a month, Saturdays every second week from 11-3.

The verdict is effective immediately.

Are you happy now?

What?

Well, you got what you wanted, right?

No, I didn't.

The reason for the court's verdict are briefly as follows:

The report that was presented in the case has, according to the court,

several shortcomings.

Allegations of alcohol abuse are based on Stefan Wikström's word.

Since Stefan Wikström is a party, the evidence lacks credibility.

Considering the need of a child to have continuity and stability,

the court has decided that Benjamin is at home with his mother.

Benjamin!

Hey Sigge, it's Sam.

Um...

It's been ages.

Hello!

I'd like to talk to you about something.

-Hey. -Hey.

I'll just...

That's fine.

I broke up with Louise.

Mm?

I know, Toni told me.

Toni got into her nursing course.

Yeah, she told me.

Mm... nice.

Are you hungry?

Hey...

Tada.

-That's not a hundred. -No, they're the ones that made it.

And I've eaten a few as well.

Good.

I'm going to Lebanon.

I'm leaving tonight.

-Maybe Toni already told you. -Mm.

Do you know what you'll do?

No, but Dad left a list of places we should visit

in the letter he left when he...

Yeah, so I thought I'd do that.

Do you believe in soulmates and stuff?

What do you mean?

That you... have one soulmate.

I think so.

Do you?

I don't know.

I don't think you can know until you're on your deathbed.

Then you can compare and evaluate them all.

Okay.

I think it's you.

Do you think so?

I really think so.

We can talk when you're on your deathbed and see if it's true.

We can talk before then.

Yeah, we can talk before then.

I'm sorry, Sigge.

I know I haven't been kind.

It's fine, you don't have to apologise.

Hi.

Thank you.
