Original subtitles

There was an explosion in Sundsvall, at the power plant.

Initial reports say six dead.

Contact the victims' families.

I know some things I shouldn't.

What would you say if I told you I knew this would happen?

The attack on Sundsvall?

- I need another favour. - Fuck, OK.

Can I trust you?

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

- Yeah, let's do that. - OK.

- You're a teacher? - Professor in advanced programming.

The USB... give it to me!

It's a story. Even if I don't know everything, we have to get it out.

Oh my God.

We will continue to talk about the power cut you heard about on the news,

which also affected large parts of Stockholm County,

which also had repercussions elsewhere in the Country.

We are joined by Edvard Nordin, CEO of Svea GasCo.

Yesterday's attack on the power station in Sundsvall killed six people.

Yes, a terrible loss.

I'd like to express my deepest sympathy to the victims' families.

My staff and I will meet up with the Minister of Defence, later.

We'll do everything we can to bring clarity to this tragic event.

Can I help you?

We're here to paint.

- We have the key but the chain lock is on. - OK.

Rough night?

Right, put the mat down and set up the ladder.

When I get back down, get the paint and we'll...

Security cameras?

They're being gathered.

Nothing from these ones. They were turned off around ten.

Ah.

Is this your first?

This stuff still makes my stomach turn.

When did the patrol get here?

Umm... around four I think.

Security guard was knocked out and gone, but er...

We have some from the security area and key card information.

They're pulling it up now.

So the window is six hours.

Not ideal.

- What's the theory? - Running shooter...

trying to get there before the lift doors close.

Sloppy shooting until he catches a headshot.

- You say "he"? - Not necessarily.

What distance?

It's about six metres... hard to say, really.

Shall we measure?

Is that six metres?

Now it's six metres.

Well...

So he goes from shitty shooter...

to crack shot in one burst.

- How's that? - So my thought is the target's moving,

the reporter has leaned forward so she can press the button...

and gets a bullet in the side of the head.

I'm in the shower.

Why aren't you packed?

- How did it go last night? - Ah...

It went well. Why do you care?

Do you like her?

Like her? Fuck do I know.

What is this? Homework or something?

I care because I want you to be happy.

- I'm fine. - Oh, really?

Why are you stressing then?

I have to work.

Oh my God, that thing with Cristina.

- The murder is all over the news. - Ah.

Did you know her?

Er...

- No. - Oh.

Are you skipping padel with Luis again?

Probably. I think I'll give it a miss.

Oh... come on Arthur!

What's going on man?

You're not packed, you won't talk about anything,

and then you shit on your friends.

I have to go to work, and Luis is not my friend.

Oh really? Who is then?

You always push people away from you.

I don't think I know

anyone who works so hard at just standing still, as you do.

Know what? Maj, you look amazing. You look tired.

You're projecting now and worrying about motherhood

and taking it out on me. I have to go to work.

But...

- Hi. - Hi.

The door was open, so...

- Hi. - Hi.

I think you owe me an explanation.

- That's my sister, not someone who-- - I don't care about her.

I'm not here for a date,

I'm here because I want to know why, after you ran from the restaurant,

five minutes later, police and paramedics pull out a half conscious man,

and now, on the news today, I see that Cristina Stranderg has been murdered,

straight after you and she left the restaurant together.

I can't tell you anything.

Ah... I knew it!

- You know something. - I can't tell you.

- Why not? - I just can't.

OK, allow me to rephrase that.

Please give me a good reason why I shouldn't go to the police

and say that I dated a murderer.

Don't you...

OK.

Cristina Stranderg gave me something yesterday at work.

A USB stick with information on a story she wanted to publish,

so she was... afraid that these people or the police,

or somebody else would take it away from her and...

would stop her story.

- Are you kidding me? - No.

OK, yesterday I was just going to give it back to her.

- And also meet you, of course. - But... why didn't she trust the police?

I don't know.

She specifically said no police with this.

This is mad. Is this your normal life?

No. That's why I'm in a hurry.

You can talk to the police all you want.

I'm going to talk to them too.

- But you can't do that. - Of course I can!

- You're about to talk to the police too. - Well, I was bluffing.

That was before you told me all this.

This is some sort of conspiracy theory.

- What are you doing? - All my podcasts start like this.

- A mysterious death. - This isn't a podcast!

OK, so you get in the car with me and you can tell me more, just a while

and then I'll leave you alone, I promise that.

Please, you owe me.

Ah...

Lots of boxes up there. Are you moving out?

Svea GasCo doesn't owe the Government an answer.

This meeting is a courtesy.

You cannot keep this an internal corporate investigation,

this is potentially an international crisis.

We're cooperating with the justice department, the police and SÄPO.

We need to announce to the public

any foreign attack on Sweden is unacceptable.

Who said this was a foreign attack?

I mean, we don't want to politicise this.

No, but this is politics.

SÄPO thinks domestic.

We saw the preliminary police press release.

It was inconclusive and ridiculous.

The perpetrators' M.O.

was the same as the Swedish military, their weapons.

Everything indicates that these were our own citizens.

It's most likely some of your nationalist nuts trying to prove--

We all know what you're doing.

You're pushing this farthest to put the cost of electricity up.

We lost six, of our staff that night.

The Russian share of GasCo is 12%, no?

You kidding me?

- Is that where you want to go with this? - I will go anywhere with this, Nordin.

Tomorrow I can draft a bill about you

if that's what it takes to keep my country safe.

And that will bring your son back?

You have 24 hours to hand over all your findings

and give our analysts full access to the power plant.

Or what then?

- Thank you for your time. - Thanks.

Or what?

- Hi. - Hey.

I was going to go grab a coffee.

- Do you want to join me? - Vera?

- Yeah... - It's OK. I get it.

Structure needs to be

revised, and potentially...

That guy Nordin...

- he's such a bloody dick. - You'll meet many more like him Vera.

The is the best thing that ever happened to Svea GasCo.

Sundsvall's, their Achilles heel, and they just got off the hook.

Er... get the office to draft a temporary law to withhold all insurance claims,

based on potential foreign intervention.

Attach it to our bill and push both of them this week.

Um... the defence bill?

Is there a problem?

No, but are you sure it's the right time, to propose an increased budget?

As Nordin said, it could look like we're politicising their deaths.

Might seem opportunistic?

Yesterday our bill was dead. Today we have a shot.

I don't care how it seems.

I care if we can prevent another six Swedes from dying.

A female journalist died from gunshot wounds last night

and police are investigating this case as a terror offence.

There have been concerns that--

Why did they kill her then?

What? I don't know.

If the man saw you then, maybe he's after you now too?

Why are you smiling?

Yeah, I'm sorry I just do that when I get excited.

Nothing exciting happens in my life,

especially things like this.

- I think I'd be really good at it. - Good at what?

Criminal investigations.

You know? Figuring things out.

I mean, there's not really that much difference

between programming and crime solving, I think.

It's all about encryption.

- It could be the dark web. - Fuck.

What's happening here? Oi...

There's a lot going on.

- Well I've got to go in. - Do you really?

I have to tell them everything, I don't know what else to do.

That's exactly what she told you not to do.

- You're a journalist. - I'm not a journalist! OK?

I'm a technical producer. I do light, sound, image, and stuff.

- OK. - This just isn't my thing.

I don't know what the story's about. It's not my fight.

Well, OK I don't know you but, doesn't this...

doesn't any of this matter to you?

- She's dead. - Yes, thanks.

OK? What are you going to do then?

She gave you the USB.

Arthur you really should think about this.

He's going in.

He's going in.

I work here.

Thanks, sir.

Hey.

Arthur.

Arthur, what the hell have you been up to?

The detectives want to talk to you.

They even sent over a squad car to pick you up.

They're questioning everyone

and they all saw you leaving with her yesterday.

You know something?

What if I do?

- What? - What if I told you her Sundsvall story?

The police are somehow involved in it... What would you do?

What? What would I do, er...

I'd want to find out who killed her.

So what the hell? Give the police the information.

Whatever she was working on

is not more important than who killed her.

I would tell them. Go ahead.

- Everything. - What if the story

and the murder were related?

Oh, you think so, do you?

Aren't we obliged to...

I don't know? Find out the truth?

Do you know what I think?

I think it was someone that she knew.

Absolutely.

How else would they get close enough? Huh?

She was tough.

Way tougher than I've ever been, I can tell you that.

Absolutely.

But this would never have happened to me.

You know why?

I've a pistol in my office.

- What? - A 38-calibre from the country cottage.

It's not kosher from the police point of view, so don't tell them.

Go on and talk to them. Tell them.

Whatever it is that you know Arthur, tell them.

This is over your head.

- Right? - Are you Arthur Melberg?

Yes, this is him.

OK. I've been ordered to bring you in ASAP.

- We're in a hurry. - OK.

- OK? - Yes.

May I have some more?

Before we start, we'll need your access card for security.

Some of your colleagues mention that when you left

the office yesterday, you left along with Stranderg. Correct?

I was with her at the bar.

- Huh? - At Bar Eight.

Go on.

I was on a date.

Not with her, it was another woman, and...

Stranderg was there, I...

guess to meet a source.

She came over, we talked,

then she went to the toilets.

Some guy followed her in, so I went to see what was happening,

and when I got there I saw him...

trying to strangle her.

I tried to help her but she didn't need it.

She knocked him down all by herself and then she ran out the backway.

- That's what happened. - Can you describe this man?

Um...

Athletic, red hair, looked like...

a military man. He was wearing an earpiece.

I'm pretty sure he wasn't from the police,

because he was really trying to hurt her.

OK, so you witness an assault inside the restroom

but you don't call the police?

Um... I was scared, of course.

So yesterday you leave the office with Stranderg. Where did you go?

I went to see my sister briefly, and then I was...

at home.

- Alone? - Yes.

And after you witness this beating at Bar Eight,

where did you go then?

- I went home. - Home.

Sorry, I just want to be very clear here so we don't misunderstand each other.

After the beating you go home.

- Yes. - You didn't come here to the office.

- No. - No?

I went home. What are you insinuating?

I went home, I said.

Maybe you were working a story together.

Or maybe it was jealousy.

You started at Channel 2 at the same time.

You took the same courses in the same classes.

She became a star reporter and you became a techie.

Listen I'm not a techie, OK? I'm a technical producer.

- There's a big difference. - I mean...

It's hard when your colleagues succeed and you don't.

I had great respect for Stranderg. She was a fantastic colleague,

I looked up to her and to insinuate that I shot her is just--

Woah.

- What did you say? - You've got the wrong man.

- Sorry? - You've got the wrong man!

Listen now.

I thought I heard you say you didn't shoot her.

But who said anything about shooting?

Oh, fuck. I walked through the foyer,

I saw something had happened

and I just assumed that it was something like...

like that.

No, you're right.

You're absolutely right. She was shot in the head.

- There she is. - Why do I need to see this?

Why are you showing it? It's repulsive!

This won't be news to you, you've seen this before.

Are you sick in the head or is this?

I'm getting pretty damn tired of you.

This is how it is.

The guys out there are going through your pass.

This means we can see exactly when you entered and left the office.

So you either tell us exactly what the hell has happened...

or you'll put yourself in a tricky position.

I promise you.

- I want to talk to a lawyer... - I think you should.

or Ivan.

Let me talk to Ivan.

Interrogation of Arthur Melberg concluded.

- Time is... - You stay there.

Fuck.

Why are you calling me?

- Hello? - Did you give it to them, the USB?

No.

- They think I did it. - What? Why?

Because... I don't know?

I accidentally said I didn't shoot her.

What? Was she shot?

What's going on there?

I can't talk right now.

They'll soon realise it's a mistake and let me go.

I'm certain of that. This is...

- stupid. - Oh, OK.

So the police can never do anything wrong? Is that what you think?

And whoever just murdered a journalist at a news company

can't get into a jail cell and murder--

- I don't have any options! - Hey, buddy!

Down here at the padel centre.

- Our time's about to start. - You stupid.

What should I do?

Go out now.

Arthur. You have a responsibility.

OK.

Shit.

- Excuse me madam. - It's OK. I'm a ballistics expert.

Hello, excuse me?

Attention, please.

Fire has been recorded in the building.

Attention, please.

Fire has been recorded in the building.

Please leave the building...

- Fuck! That was dumb. - That was damn cool!

Do you have your phone? Give me your phone now.

Now.

What are you doing?

You're on the run, Arthur.

They can track your phone so easily.

So...

They're evacuating the whole damn building now.

And it was me who set it off.

It was such a genius plan.

You'd never have got out of there without me, you know?

There's the fire truck.

Two of them.

They'll be so tied up with all that, they won't even notice you've gone.

That was so cool wasn't it?

We're so fucking good. I'm a fucking genius.

I knew I'd be good at all this.

I told them I was a ballistics expert.

I walked straight in and no-one stopped me.

I didn't know what to do, then I saw the fire alarm...

You OK there?

Thanks I have to...

I have to solve this now, but thanks. I can drive you home.

- Don't say thank you, just tell me. - Tell you what?

Arthur, please feel free to cut the bullshit

and just tell me what happened.

Arthur. You are in the shit!

OK, I am listening and I'm on your side.

I was there when she was shot.

Last night in the toilet...

I was going to give her the USB, but it was in my jacket.

So we agreed to meet at the office

and I'd give her the stick there.

But we'd just got into the lift when this fucking person, with a damn mask...

- A mask? - A fucking mask.

- A... mask? - Yeah, some damn military...

I don't know it was very scary.

And then he shot her.

Right in the face.

She was right next to me. Like you are now.

She was...

He shot at me too, but threw myself down. Then the lift door...

closed and we went.

OK, so you just ran away?

What would you have done?

- He was still in the building. - Yes, absolutely.

Eh? So I ran out of the service exit,

and before I knew it, I was home.

I can still see her face, lying there.

Then they show me her picture.

I'm sorry.

It's just dawning on me.

No. That's awful it's just terrible, you...

you're still in a state of shock, you know that.

Breathe, OK.

I'm here, you're here.

Now we have time to think.

What are you thinking?

The USB is the key to finding out what on earth's happening.

OK.

I'll go home and check it out.

Ah... don't you think they'll be there already?

I'll find an internet café, or--

That's not a good idea at all.

They'll be doing surveillance.

As soon as you plug the USB in they'll track you.

OK, er...

You know what? I'll sort it out.

You don't worry about it.

This is my job I know this, I'm happy to help.

I want to help.

Why do you want to help me?

Because... you need my help.

And I don't believe

in abandoning friends who are in trouble.

That'd be...

really nice.

Still got mine.

Darling, have you got an airgap?

So, this is the guy you've been talking about?

Yep.

- Arthur, right? - Yes.

Your mother told me all about you.

Nice to meet you.

It's a strange way to end a date though, isn't it?

I, er... I explained that...

- it was a bit. - Mmm.

I've forgiven him. Sort of.

Still weird.

- What now? - I'm taking out all network capacities,

because I don't know what kind of stick it is, or what's on it.

It should be safe.

- OK. - Yes.

So this is where you teach?

- Sometimes, yes. Why? - I don't know...

just impressive.

- You think? - Yes.

- Yeah. - OK.

That's obvious.

- The USB. - Yes.

- Yes. - OK.

- Thanks. - There.

There's one file but it's password protected.

Oh, fuck.

What's the word list on this one?

Er... Rockyou and Skullsecurity.

That's impressive.

It's not that complicated.

Er... not that much,

a small table of data.

"Dinner is late."

Looks like text messages.

Same message over again?

It's a different number each time,

so it could be a system that sent them out.

- What's the context? - Ah, well... Cristina Stranderg.

As in the, journalist that was murdered?

Yes.

- She gave me that-- - Do you have a backup?

Yeah, sure.

- And the converter. - Yeah, OK.

I don't understand.

- She gave you this yesterday... - Huh?

but the text messages are from today.

Yeah? I don't know why that is.

It's updated.

It's connected to something.

Not through the computer. I swear it's gapped.

It's gapped.

It's still on.

This isn't a USB.

It's an Arduino...

with a network card on it.

Someone's watching us.

We should leave.

We're leaving.

- Are you going to your father's tomorrow? - Yes, but I can cancel it?

No. It's better if you go. It's safer there. OK?

- Fuck. Get away from me. - Huh?

Get away from me, go!

Come on.

Shit!

Get off!

Get off!

Move!

Watch out!

Fuck it.

Go.

Fuck.

I'll come to you. I'm coming.

We have talked a lot about electricity prices.

They are of course difficult to forecast.

But this coming winter we will see significantly...

See you tomorrow.

Have a good evening.

...record refinery margins in early 2022. Initially...

- Time to go home to the kids, huh? - Not my week.

We know that Arthur Melberg entered the news station with the access card...

but I still don't think he fits the profile.

Have you seen it?

Pretty impressive actually.

Dedicated journalist... I don't know.

Well, I'm calling it a day.

- OK, see you tomorrow. - Yes.

COURSE CERTIFICATE. ARTHUR MELBERG.

- Remember to pack your washbag. - I really should stay.

Dad wouldn't mind.

Not if he knew what you were getting into.

I don't want to hear it, OK?

Is this all because dad called you boring?

That was pretty mean. Are you trying to prove something?--

Isabelle, I love you.

You're on the train first thing in the morning. OK?

I've made you a kebab.

- OK. - Do you feel better now?

Yes, I'm OK.

Is that your husband?

- Ex husband, sorry. - Yup.

He's a big fucker.

No, normal...

size, I'd say.

I guess you overheard?

He didn't say I was boring.

But life with me is boring. Just so you know.

- OK. - I mean he's a good...

dad and he's a good guy, I guess.

But just also kind of an arsehole.

- Is Isabelle moving out? - Mmm?

Linköping University.

It's a good education

so we're happy, she's about to start her own life and...

moving away from here.

She's 19, so it's natural her moving out.

I will get... her room will be my study, so it will be...

nice to have some alone time to sit, think...

think and work.

In fact, I'm very much looking forward to it.

It's going to be

great fun. And you?

Your wife, or ex-wife?

Was it a good divorce?

Maybe you're still in touch?

Are you one of those people who texts all the time?

No, she died.

Actually a couple of years ago, well three years.

Cancer.

- Oh, I'm sorry, I had no idea. - Don't worry, it's just...

really sad.

What was her work?

- If I may ask? - Is it OK if we just...

- don't talk about it? - Yes.

Of course.

No, of course.

- Sorry. - No.

- Hey... cute. - Mmm.

- Are we eating now or...? - Yes, let's.

Kebab.

Still nothing in the news about it, but... those guys weren't regular policemen,

- right? - No, they weren't the police.

You should eat, you'll feel better.

It's one thing being chased by the police, it's quite another that...

someone wants me dead.

Mmm. You don't think they're the ones that killed Stranderg then?

Are you OK there?

Oh... yes.

"Dinner is late."

If you Google it, only old stuff comes up.

Mmm...

A reality show, a military exercise, a magazine.

But Cristina Stranderg, she...

didn't like say anything else to you about what she was like

working on or maybe--

Er... you are going to Linköping tomorrow morning.

I don't want you to get any more involved.

So you get to help, but I have to--

- We can manage on our own. - Ah...

- Right Arthur? - Yes.

I'm thankful for what you guys have done for me,

what you're doing for me, but I can't get you any more involved.

It's really dangerous.

What? Again?

Yes...

the whole city.

I still have signal at least.

You have backed up all the data from the USB stick right?

- Can you pull up that list? - "Dinner is late."

Not the text messages, the time stamps.

When was the first text sent?

Yesterday lunchtime, roughly.

Yesterday and today. Six of them.

How many power cuts have we had today?

Can you match the power cuts to the time stamps?

OK, absolutely.

Four yesterday and two earlier today.

But do they match?

You see?

It's like someone's switching off the power on purpose.

Holy fuck.

In other news, the police are looking for a forty-year-old colleague

of Cristina Stranderg, Arthur Melberg,

in question on the matter of Cristina Stranderg's brutal murder last night.

If you see Arthur Melberg, please do not try to confront him.

Contact the police immediately and keep your distance.
