Europe and Sweden are living in a new and dangerous reality.

The entire Nordic region is now inside NATO.

How much change would you say we are facing?

We are facing the biggest foreign defence

and security challenges since the Second World War.

Ask yourself the basic question,

what would happen if what is going on today in Ukraine

happens in Sweden.

Concerns are growing that

Sweden's energy resources

are not safe from potential attack.

We're living in a very...

Be ready with three. Go in closer.

...situation, and environmental politics right now,

but you could also say that that we have a systematic...

- Cue up one. - Stranderg.

...attack on the West in general.

OK, Cristina, we are live in 20.

There could be war in Sweden.

- Wow. What the fuck? - Power loss, switch to generators.

Technicians are on their way.

We're live in ten seconds.

Wait,

- I need to speak to her quickly-- - No, we're live.

With us is the Swedish Defence Minister.

- Welcome, Carla Holmgren. - Pleasure.

From your point of view and your work, how would you describe Sweden today?

At the moment, Sweden is a strong, and independent nation that can claim

- to be a pioneer in many areas-- - For the moment?

Yes, it's not certain it will always remain so.

- Why did you say so? - Let's not be naive.

- You're losing her. - We are a geopolitical hotspot.

We're too much plugged in, we can't handle it.

Run camera three, ready on two.

Cut the power to the auxiliary cameras, and we'll stay on these two.

What the hell is she up to?

- It's still not enough. - Israel, Palestine...

we must now be open to a new reality.

In your previous story, you talked about

a radicalisation of the right wing.

- I must talk to her now. - We're still live!

We must be more aware of the dangers that are threatening Sweden--

And this is the reasoning behind...

your new bill to increase military spending

- by 50% in the next five years? - That's right.

That's a lot.

We're sending live!

We want Sweden to stay as it has always been, so we have to change.

- OK. - What's happening?

OK. We're offline.

- The whole building. - Sound's still rolling.

Sorry. We're experiencing some technical difficulties.

- What? - There's been an attack. We must go.

- What? - There's been an attack. We must go.

- OK. - What is it?

Sorry. I have to go.

Can we get some help here?

- Quickly, please! - Just pull that wire off.

OK, let's go. We need to get to Sundsvall now.

Police and ambulance are there.

Security department has reached out. The Prime Minister wants to talk to you.

There's a "dinner being late" message.

Arthur!

What the hell just happened, it all went black.

Gather a team. I want the police to get all the support needed.

Yes. On it.

It's a GasCo plant, ring the CEO, Nordin.

That asshole would want control of this.

We can't let him make this some internal shit--

We've already asked for a meeting.

Can we go, or what's happening?

Just a few minutes.

I'd like a press conference with the PM later.

The public needs reassuring that they won't be adversely affected.

- Any idea what happened? - Initial reports say six dead.

You told me the power plant was closed.

It was, but they'd called in a service team to fix something.

Contact the victims' families. See what we can do.

We installed the generator specifically for times like this...

- I'm sorry. - just plug it in.

I just haven't used it live before.

Don't apologise to me,

you need to apologise to Stranderg, she worked on this interview for weeks.

Yes, I will. I'll do that.

Hellfire.

What is it?

There has been an explosion

in Sundsvall, at the power station there.

It may be an attack, but we're not quite sure yet.

- Do they think it's an attack? - A suspicious boat

was spotted by a security camera.

We've got a team on the way up there now.

Where do you need me?

They're already running a debrief for Martin's team.

- Be ready in fifteen, OK? - OK.

This will be a hell of a day.

No, it'll be a quiet day.

Nice sweater. New or what?

- Anything for me? - No, not today, thanks.

Cristina.

- Not now. - I just wanted to apologise.

- You worked so hard. - No...

- I let you down. - Don't worry.

Stranderg, there are two policemen looking for you.

- Why? - I don't know. They're on their way up.

Eh? Why are they here?

- Did you drive in today? - Yeah.

- Come with me. - Cristina Stranderg?

- Where are we going? - Come on you're going to drive me.

- You-- - We have a job.

Why are they here?

I'll explain. Can you just--

- I've a meeting with Ivan in five minutes. - Not now.

I need my car keys.

As quick as you can.

- Arthur! - Yeah.

- We need you now. Come here. - OK, I'll be back in five minutes.

No.

- Max five minutes. - I'm coming.

Arthur!

- What do they want? - They're here to arrest me, Arthur.

Police! Stop!

- What? Why? - Because I know something I shouldn't.

- Fuck! - Is it illegal?

Just trust me. I'll tell you in the car.

Fuck.

Fuck.

- It's better to just speak to them. - Stop talking!

Give me your sweater.

- What? - Give me your sweater.

Help me!

Oh, right... shit!

I'm pushing.

Let's go. Car key!

There.

- Christ! - Go!

Stop!

What was that?

- What are we doing? - We're working.

Being chased through the office by the police?

That's not working.

It wasn't the police. I distrust them with this story.

What story?

Arthur, what would you say if I told you I knew this would happen?

Sundsvall attack or something similar.

How could you know that?

You should report such things to the police--

Stop! We can't go to the police.

- What's the story? - You don't want to know.

I do want to know the story,

- you're driving my car, fuck! - It doesn't matter what car we're driving.

- You are hysterical. Calm down. - Ivan's calling now.

- Don't answer. Just listen--

- He keeps calling me-- - Listen to me!

Listen to me! I'm going to stop soon.

I'm meeting a source. Just stay in the car and wait for me, OK?

Ivan, I'll call you back.

- Fuck's sake. - I'm on a little...

a little excursion. I'll be back soon.

- OK. - Don't pick up I said.

He's called me ten times. I can't just ring off.

- Just let him call. - He's asking where I am.

- I need to go back. - Be quiet! I must concentrate.

- What's happening? - Oh my God, stop panicking!

- This is all just lunacy. - No, it is not.

We're working.

Fuck.

LEAVE KEYS WITH SISTER 13:00

Who was that?

I need another favour.

I've been away too long. You can borrow my car--

I want you to look after this for me, just until tonight.

It can't be on me if they catch me.

Cristina, I helped with the car since I saw you were in trouble.

I can't get involved in this.

- You can't drag me into this without-- - What's happened to you?

When I started at Channel Two, you wanted to go to the Congo

and Yugoslavia.

The main news at six.

We took RISC courses together.

Now you hide in the control room.

Come on now.

OK, fuck!

You can't give it to anyone else and you won't leave it anywhere.

Look at me.

Can I trust you?

OK.

- Say it, Arthur. - I get it.

Sure.

- Where will you be at nine tonight? - Oh, I...

have this thing, but I can cancel it.

- It's not important-- - Don't cancel.

Behave as you normally would, just bring it.

- Where are you going? - Bar Eight.

- Bar Eight, who with? - No-one.

No-one?

You're just going to sit by yourself at nine o'clock--

It's... a date.

It's not important. I can cancel it.

- We'll meet up later instead-- - Bar Eight will be perfect.

I'll meet him there.

Bring the USB. I must go.

Cristina...

careful.

Take off your ring before the date.

You have voicemail. To listen to your message, press one.

Arthur, for fuck's sake, what's happening?

Fratelli's replacing you.

If you don't come in tomorrow, then don't bother coming in again.

- Just help yourselves. - Hi, sis.

- Arthur. - Hey.

- You came? - Yeah?

Oh, I didn't realise, I didn't know you...

- Arthur! - We're having...

- Hey, bro! - Look who's here.

- Good to see you, man. - Hey.

- Good to see you. - Hey.

I didn't think you'd come.

Yeah of course, I didn't want to...

intrude.

Intrude? You're family.

Come in. Just take your shoes off.

It's a genuine Martha Moss.

- Martha... Moss? - Yes, I just bought it from my carpet guy.

- Come in. - You have shoes.

Yes, but they're my indoor loafers.

OK. My shoes are clean.

- Come in, take them off. - Come in!

We're having coffee. We're having sandwiches and tea.

That's really nice.

Is it Merino?

Really nice.

Check this one out.

Oh, look.

- Look. - Wow.

Huh? What do you think?

- How lovely. - Wow.

You forgot, didn't you?

No, of course I didn't.

We didn't think you were going to come.

I'm not a 25-year-old new mum.

But it is your first birth, even if...

- that defies biology. - OK.

- Are you all packed up? - By and large.

By and large?

You're moving in a week,

- what er-- - I read that it's a bad time to sell.

Inflation, interest rates, the world situation...

Ukraine.

The buyers arrive in a week. Will you live--

- I can break a clause in the contract. - Don't do that.

What then? Do what?

You put the house on the market. You need to move on.

Right?

OK.

OK, I'll pack.

Fuck sake, take it easy.

What's up with Elin down there?

- What do you mean? - She said you were texting

but then you ghosted her.

I wasn't ghosting her. We never dated.

If you ignore her, that's ghosting.

OK, then I'm ghosting half of my team often.

You need to go on a date to ghost someone.

Arthur, I'm worried about you.

You are stuck.

You are unhappy.

- Ever since Natalie. - I am very happy.

I'm super happy,

for you, for your baby, for Luis, for me.

I am happy. It's all great.

I have a date tonight.

- Do you have a date? - Yeah.

With whom?

Hmm… with a woman.

What woman?

Just a woman. No-one in particular, really.

Please, tell your sister that you won't be wearing that awful shirt.

What's wrong with my shirt? I like this one.

I know you do. That's why you have to promise me not to wear it tonight.

Can you promise that?

OK.

- OK? - Hey.

- The cake is getting cold. - OK.

- Arthur's got a date tonight. - What?

- Seriously? - Yes.

That's fantastic, brother.

Wow! Yeah man.

- Congrats. - That's enough.

- I knew you had it in you. - Alright.

- It's so cool. - Yeah.

OK.

- Is it someone we know? - No.

- Tinder, you know? - Cool.

- Do you want to borrow a shirt? - No.

- Sure? - It's cool.

- I'll give you some socks, at least. - OK.

- We'll be right down. - OK. 11 a.m., padel.

- Usual place? - Right.

- Yes. - Yes.

It was a ball-ache booking a slot, but I did it.

- See you in a sec. - Nice.

- He is great. - He's fantastic.

So...

are you the usual Arthur who never gets anywhere, or is this...

Is this a sad baby shower?

I'm way too old for this.

Are you having a good time?

- Yeah. - Yeah, then that's great.

OK? You look fantastic.

It'll be good.

- Come. - Mmm.

During the day, there have been several power outages in Stockholm,

and shortly the Prime Minister will give a speech to the nation

on the attack on the power plant in Sundsvall.

Today, Sweden was plunged into darkness.

But while we are working diligently

to limit the impact of this cowardly attack, we are also hunting down

those behind it.

But above all, our thoughts go out to those who have fallen victim

to this terrible deed.

- Hi. - Hi.

Hi.

Oh, how nice.

- Oh, yes let's do that. - Why not?

- Hi. - Hey!

It's great to finally meet you.

- Yes, likewise. - Yeah.

I thought we'd be meeting at the bar.

Yeah, but I booked a table instead.

The bar chairs are so high my legs were sort of dangling...

like a child.

- OK. - Good evening. Are you ready to order?

Yes, I'll think I'll have my fourth beer, please.

Yeah… fourth?

- No, I'll just have one more thanks. - I'll have the same.

Lovely, let's do that.

Thanks.

That's a great shirt you're wearing.

- Oh. - I feel a little overdressed,

not compared to you, but because, you know,

I don't usually dress up at all.

I was going to come in my work clothes but my daughter said "no".

Mum, put on something nicer. So then I put on a dress.

But then I thought no,

I'll get an electric scooter home and it might get caught up in the wheels.

So then it ended up not being a dress, but I kept my...

high heels on.

But that's not what I usually wear, I'm not a high heel girl,

- if that's what you think. - Here.

- Thank you. - Pleasure.

- So, er... - Thank you.

Do you like electric scooters?

After all, they're very...

practical and nippy.

- Or... - Ah.

Are you alright there?

Sorry. I had so much trouble today at work...

but I can't really tell you about it, but you look great,

- and such a cool shirt too. - Yeah, OK.

- Sorry, I'm... - Cool.

- Now I'm here. - Yeah, I get it.

I saw on the news the attack

and the blackouts and everything, folk are very worried.

You'll just have to forgive me, please.

I am super fascinated

that you work on Channel 2 News.

You know, I love crime podcast documentaries,

and news is like a drug for me.

I can't fall asleep without listening to crime pods.

Every night, I have to listen to them.

I don't really know what it is, but...

I just love them.

- I don't work directly with the news. - What?

You… oh, OK.

Oh, I thought it said in your profile that you had studied journalism

- and now you work at Channel 2 News-- - I do.

I do that, and I have done that, but now I'm a technical producer.

- OK. - Making sure the cameras are running,

have the right pictures. It's a...

more stable job, good if you ever wanted to start having a family.

OK, you have kids?

- No. - No? OK.

So, I have a child myself so, that really wouldn't matter.

No, I mean that...

if you wanted to start a family at some point, that would be good.

Yeah.

Er...

You? You're a teacher, right?

- Professor in advanced programming. - Wow.

It's really nothing special.

- So, do you enjoy it? - Yeah, I love it,

but...

Sometimes I worry that it can be a bit...

boring.

I wouldn't think so.

Really?

That's not what people usually say.

To hell with what people usually say.

Well...

maybe I need an adventure with...

a guy?

A non-reporting

tech producing news guy.

Hehe.

Is that Cristina Stranderg?

I... no,

I love her.

You don't understand.

You work at the same place.

Do you know her?

Would you mind...?

- Yeah, of course. - Excuse me.

- What happened? - She was busy.

No, she's sitting by herself.

- It doesn't matter. - Know what?

We'll go and say hi, you and me.

- No. - We'll ask if she wants some company.

No!

Sit down! Now!

Sorry, I… didn't mean to blow up like that.

Alright.

OK. Just a bit weird to yell that...

- loudly. - Sorry. I think she just needs to sit...

Hi.

- Hi. - Hi, Arthur.

- Hi. - So...

this is the lucky girl.

- Mmm. - You know, Arthur

is a really special guy.

Without Arthur, the news would just be a black screen.

Hell, it was today.

Anyway, I saw you looking over.

Do you want a selfie with me?

Yes, I'd... absolutely.

- Yes, of course, that's fine. - I'll get my… this is so good of you.

Oh, God.

Cool.

Thanks.

Of course.

- I have to... have a nice evening. - Yes, you too.

She is so intense, but in a nice way.

Just as I thought she would be. Do you think she's ever touched a corpse?

Meet me in the toilet

Did she write something?

No.

I'm sorry, I just have to...

one second.

Ah!

Stop!

Stop!

Fuck you!

Cristina, look out!

Fuck!

Oh, my God.

What the hell?

Everything's wrong.

- That man just tried to murder you. - It's all because of Sundsvall.

The source I was going to meet here didn't come.

- Do you have it? - Huh?

The USB... give it to me.

It's in my jacket.

Arthur, dammit! I told you not to lose sight of it!

I'll just go and get it.

Don't go anywhere. They mustn't see you.

- They don't know you're involved. - Is he the police or what?

- This guy? No. - You need to call the police!

What's with the police? I won't call them.

I won't bring them in. I mistrust them.

They'll kill my story.

Shut up for a minute, and let me think.

We've got to move him. Help me.

Moving him won't hide anything.

You've already destroyed this place!

OK. I need to get out of here, Arthur.

You go out a minute after me.

Grab the USB and meet me in the office in ten minutes.

- OK. - OK?

Calm.

Fine.

How was your date?

Really good. Perfect.

A wonderful date.

That's great.

She's way out of your league.

Ten minutes.

Hello?

Are you going or...

Fuck it.

Well, I haven't taken your wallet, if that's what you think.

But maybe I should have.

Were you going to leave me without even saying goodbye?

I'm sorry, but...

things, I can't explain, are happening at work. I must go.

Things happen to people all the time,

you don't just sneak off.

Can I ask you to pay the bill? I'll ping you half later or all of it.

It doesn't matter. Whatever works for you.

You were great.

It was all great, but I really have to go now. OK.

You're not very nice.

Oh, my God.

- Are you OK? - I'm fine. Are you OK?

Yeah, I'm OK.

So we don't have much time.

The morning team will be here in a minute. Do you have the USB?

You going to publish? You haven't met your source.

It is a story.

Even if I don't know everything, it must go out.

- Are you joking? - Please give me the USB stick.

Oh, fuck!
