Original subtitles

After all, you have been through both psychological and physical trauma.

Alexander.

I need to renew a prescription.

-What are you doing? - Tramadol.

If it turns out he's mean to you, I'll kick him.

And you take care of mine.

- Was he in conflict with someone? - Ronnie.

Oh! Watch my back!

He threatened my husband and said he has debts.

-Did you do this? - I'm your friend!

-Will he make it? - The condition has stabilized.

- But he will wake up again? - It is unclear.

ONE WEEK EARLIER

Bruno?

Bruno.

Evelina Berggren is Bruno's wife. He's in for an assult.

I am her friend. As a friend, you can visit, right?

Evelina. Hello.

How are you doing?

Can't we be friends? I would like to be able to support you.

-What are you doing here? -Is he...dead?

Can't you leave me alone?

Thirsty?

Yes, I couldn't sleep.

My neck hurts so damn much.

So you self-medicate?

Yes.

You and I have never argued, Anna. I don't want to start that now.

Why is that?

Out of respect for you. Respect for your mother.

So out of respect you rip off my mother's wine?

I would really appreciate it if you didn't say anything about it.

Also, I was the one who bought this, so…

-Good morning! Where are you going? - I'm going to work.

No. You had the evening shift yesterday. I made breakfast.

Today I have the morning shift. Dag just hired a bunch of wackos.

I'll earn extra. Where's your guy, then?

- He is lying down and sleeping. - I understand that he is tired.

Oh yes? Why's that?

He was up and wandering round at night.

Forget it. See you. Gotta go!

Alright, see you. I'll come by for lunch.

Good morning!

What? Yes...

Is everything alright?

No, I just slept a little badly.

I'm a little stressed. Damn... There yes. There.

I have to go.

You were supposed to have this morning off. I have made breakfast.

I just have to... I have to go for a ride in the boat. I have to fix…

There's the broker the day after tomorrow, so... And I have to...

Is that why you can't sleep? You are worried about the boat?

What? No, no. Things you shouldn't get worry about.

I can only buy a new one once.

His signs ​​are stable now, so all indications are that he will wake up soon.

Do they know when?

No. It can take a couple of hours or a day. It's so hard to say.

I want you to be prepared that he might be a little confused-

and depressed when he wakes up. It's not the least bit unusual.

Thanks.

Look out! We have a visitor.

-Did it go well? -Yes.

Behind you! Come with me.

You look like you need something good.

- I haven't eaten lunch yet. - No? Then I'll make something special.

- Fine. Why's that? - Because you are Anna's mother.

How is it going?

Very badly.

- I don't smoke. - No, I know that.

Has something happened?

It's just a friend who has...stabbed me in the back.

Here comes mom!

-Hey! -Hey!

- You're here already? - Yes, I couldn't help myself.

My little crumb!

- That guy... -Eylo?

Is he the reason you work overtime all the time?

Maybe that.

He said he was going to make me something special.

What a classic. A brown-eyed bohemian chef wants to hit the mom.

It is the dustiest trick in the entire magic set.

-Hey, hey. - This is my colleague Nikki.

Hello. Nora. I am Anna's mother.

- You have to take care of your daughter. - Oh yes?

I think she takes pretty good care of herself.

Wait until summer ends and Eylo dumps her like a dishcloth.

- What do you mean by that? -Mummy's little girl.

Come on.

How should the crumb be protected from all harm?

NACKA POLICE DISTRICT Correct.

What are they pinning on you?

They just found something good. For my own use.

They can't keep me here. Can they?

Give me the phone. Give it to me!

I need to talk to Jackie about something.

- What's happening? - It's burning!

- Get the fire extinguisher now! - Go get the fire extinguisher.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven,

eight, nine, ten,- -11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16...

-Stop her! -Hey you, stop!

Stop her! Hey, you!

Damn it! You were supposed to protect him!

Oh, here she comes.

Hello.

Yes, the classification has then been changed from attempted murder to murder.

I spoke to you about police protection on the spot.

If someone is a victim of attempted murder, Is it

unreasonable to assume that the perpetrator might come to finish the job?

No. I agree. Here. It's screwed up.

Thanks. Yes, what do we do now?

I'm going to question Ronny's girlfriend. Jackie Haglund.

Hell! I didn't even know she existed.

She was there when we picked Ronny up. Much younger.

-Of course. -And then we found fingerprints.

Both on the batton and the bags. Hers, that is.

Yes. We have now received surveillance images from the hospital.

- It's so unclear... - Can I look at them?

Could this be a person of medium height? Is it a woman?

It is difficult...

What do you say, Alex? Could that be Jackie?

Yes. Yes. Maybe.

Yes, yes. Ronny has of course sent her.

- Of course? - He has met his lawyer.

He could of course have sent a message that way.

So one could imagine that Ronny has ordered a murder.

And either that, or one of his bitches..

-"Bitches"? - No offence intended.

Either way, this woman loves Ronny, and it's

done out of love, so he won't have to serve time...

...or Ronny has a hold over this person.

And this person feels pressured to do this.

Not to pull the gender card here,

- -but it is not very common to have a female assassin.

Assassination woman. You might have to say "assassination" these days.

What do you think, Alexander?

- About what then? -About Jackie.

And you have no alibi?

My husband is in custody. Who should I be with?

Someone at work. Anyone who can confirm where you were last night.

Who is this?

It's not me, anyway. I would never wear such an ugly jacket.

You have quite a lot on your criminal record.

- It's old stuff. -Old?

You had an assault two years ago. "Blunt violence against hod..."

My stepfather beat my mother. Sometimes you have to slap someone in the face.

-So much that they end up in hospital? - He didn't die.

How often do you think my mother has ended up in hospital?

It's strange that I get three cases in the same category on my table.

-Which category? -Gay, bi, trans, queer.

I'm no expert.

Or no more than anyone else, just because I'm gay.

-What? - But now I'm not really that.

For now I am a part-time resident. And then I might have to... What is it, Nora?

-What is it? - You're not listening.

What's happened?

The same as always. He is with me, but not with me.

He looks at me, but he doesn't see me.

He listens to me, but he doesn't hear me.

Then you know how I feel.

Or, well...it feels like you're describing yourself.

But vice versa, as with us.

That you are me, and then I am you.

Or... You never listen.

Oh, Per. Excuse me.

You know how much you mean to me right?

You and I, we're like...Batman and Robin.

Where I am Batman.

And Alexander is the Joker?

-Hey! - Hello.

Sorry. I really didn't want to bother you.

- But I really need to talk to you. - My condolences.

I think it is something important.

Of course, at first I thought it was a joke.

Trading murders is... It wasn't serious.

But...?

It's been so bloody long since we hung out together.

Back then we were both quite wild.

But Nikki was without boundaries in a completely different way.

There was always drama when she was around. She always created conflict.

And she had a very violent site.

She could become possessive. And incredibly jealous.

-Jealous? -Of my girlfriends.

Then I moved to London for a year, and luckily we lost contact.

But, now after all that has happened, it feels uncomfortable.

When did you last see her?

I think she's stalking me.

First I ran into her down town, and then she was in the hospital.

In the hospital? What happened then?

I hurried away into a shop, asked

if I could use the toilet and said I was pregnant.

Are you pregnant?

No, we're try... Or, we tried.

It is...was our greatest wish, but now it will never happen.

I think I should feel sorry for her.

But I think she's creepy.

He seems pretty lost, that guy.

Yes, what would you be like if you were close to being bombed to death?

Is bombed to death a verb or an adjective?

- It's an adjective. -What did you say?

-What did she say? - She didn't say anything special.

But I know Nora, and I see that she is sad.

Maybe she makes too many demands. Pushing him.

No. Right. Wait. Nora does not pressure anyone into anything.

She's not like that. She certainly wouldn't sink that deep.

She has high integrity, and she doesn't beg for anything.

If something doesn't fit, so be it.

If someone doesn't want me, then...I go.

"Me"? We're talking about Nora, right?

Yes, we are. But I guess I recognize myself.

Me too, actually.

Right, sorry.

But I agree. Partly.

Alexander is not himself.

It's just that I hope he's on the right track.

Alexander?

Have you missed me?

Hello! What the hell are you doing up so late?

And when are you going to learn that there is a

six hour time difference... and that you are behind?

Yes, you know...I can't even learn daylight saving time.

There are times it goes forward, and then back, and then forward...

I don't understand anything. It's all just a mess.

I can't see you, dad. Can't you sit still?

Hello! Yes. What do you want for Christmas, then?

- A Christmas present? - Well...yeah.

Well, Dad, I'm on summer vacation.

I have to start saving, you know.

- You're crazy. - Yes, I know that.

But by Christmas we should be back home again.

I hope so. I miss you, buddy.

Same here, Dad. Love you.

Me too.

Yes, I have checked her out. And there are drugs,-

-dangerous driving, assault, both as victim and perpetrator.

She works at the inn with my daughter, and

she seems like a rather unstable and unpredictable girl.

-Bring her in for questioning? -Yes.

We also have Ronny's entourage here in the detention center, and she has no alibi.

That doesn't rule out us bringing her in, does it?

Alexander? What do you say?

- I completely agree. -Yes, yes, yes. Bring her in.

- Let me help you. -Yes, thank you.

Thanks for the lift.

You, I...

Is everything alright?

Yes. Absolutely. I love you

And I you.

SANDHAMN INN

- Hello. We're not open yet. - We are from the police.

Yes ok.

- Yes, you may be new here. -Yes.

We would like to speak to Nicholina Lindholm.

I think she calls herself Nikki.

It's empty.

Do you know where she lives?

Damn...

You take the back.

Olanzapine. Risperidone.

Can I see?

What's it for?

I think it's for delusions, anxiety and stuff like that.

Party dope, maybe. Or what?

Well?

- Party dope, maybe. - No, no. Nothing like that.

Oh, look here.

Damn! Fuck!

- Hello. - Hello.

-Have you spoken to the police about Nikki? -Yes.

- Fine. What did they say? - They're looking at it.

I'm afraid. I feel threatened.

Have you heard from her again?

No, I haven't. Oddly enough. But I dare not be alone.

And I hardly dare to go out alone. It feels like someone is stalking me.

You have no family you can stay with?

Well... I'm going to talk to the police about bodyguards.

And give you my number, if she reappears.

Many thanks.

Hello.

Smile, and don't try anything.

-Hey, hey! -Hey, hey!

Just go.

- Do you work here? -Yes.

Have you seen any woman who...? Wait. One moment.

Yes?

There was mostly a lot of scraping on the line, but I think Nikki threatened her.

Then she sent an SMS with her location.

- They are in Västerudd. -Oh, damn.

I haven't heard anything since this morning. Now I have to take care of lunch myself.

- Didn't she say anything? - About what then?

That she has been involved in something or has a conflict with someone.

Nikki has conflicts with everyone. The whole of her life is a conflict.

- Call me if you see her. - Yep.

Alex! Alex! I know where she is!

She has Evelina with her and is on her way to Västerudd. Is everything alright?

Sure.

- Go on. -Yes!

I said go! Shut up! Just go!

Drop the weapon!

Drop the weapon! Let go!

Drop it!

Drop the knife!

Drop the weapon!

Alex!

Alex?

Alex. You didn't hit her. She died from the fall.

She tripped as she tried to run away.

It was a warning shot.

Do you hear what I'm saying? It was a warning shot.

Well. The press will really enjoy the fact that Nicholina Lindholm is dead.

Nothing is more delightful than when a young woman turns out to be a murderer.

Especially when she was so pleasant to look at.

I'm not the one who thinks so. Anyone can see...

I have no opinion. I wanted to make it clear that the press will revel in it.

It was just that... Yes...

Was there anything more?

Yes, I used the weapon, so I... I might have to write a report.

And I saw it happen and can confirm that everything went well.

It was a warning shot to save Evelina's life.

Right. But a report must be written anyway.

Yes. Yes.

Yes, well. Then there's nothing else.

Thanks.

Yes, but... It's fine.

People are now talking about her using drugs etc. What a waste.

Yes, I know. She's had some judgments made on her.

She was crazy, after all. But she cared too.

She had, you know, compassion and empathy.

She was kind of worried about me and would

defend me if a customer was threatening.

- No one is just evil, right? - No, but...

Mom. If you kill someone like that, must you be a psychopath?

- Yes, well... - Psychopaths don't have empathy.

Hi, it's me. I think we need to look at something.

Hello. Yes, we didn't meet last time you were here.

My name is Stenmark, and I'm the chief of police.

First of all, I just want to offer my condolences.

Thanks.

-How do you feel? -Empty.

I understand that. You also lost your best friend.

She wasn't my best friend. She was...

- What then? - A psychopath.

So you weren't with Nikki?

She was never at your and Bruno's house?

No, I would be ashamed in front of Bruno. She was so out of control.

- So she was never at your house? -No.

No. Or she was never invited there.

But she was there when she threatened me.

And she must have been there that night that Bruno...

We have quite a bit of surveillance footage of Nikki that we've looked at.

Yes, of course.

There was a camera on the house that is

right next to the cabin - where Nikki lived.

Here you can see her. Here.

Nikki comes home at 9:30 p.m.

the night Bruno is attacked. Then there's not a

peep, not a movement, until 8:30 the next morning.

We can determine the time of Bruno's attack as 23.43.

And this is because he, in addition to having his skull crushed,

had his Patak Phillippe branded wristwatch

smashed to pieces when he hit the ground.

The funny thing - in that context...

Yes, funny... The decisive thing in this

case, is that if Bruno had had a real Patak Phillippe

and not a cheap copy from Thailand,

then it would not have broken. Then we couldn't

determine the time with the aforementioned precision.

The point is, Nikki couldn't have been in the

garden the night your husband was assaulted.

This meant that we went through hour by hour of the video material.

And Nikki comes and goes at different times.

Until...there.

That's you, isn't it?

And what do you have with you. Is this for Nikki?

- I don't know. -No.

It's a bloody mortar bomb, wrapped in a towel with Bruno's monogram.

He came home from his business trip. He brought a nice present,

- so I became a little suspicious. It's not exactly that he's stingy.

Well maybe he is a bit stingy sometimes. Maybe more rigid.

I asked if there was anything wrong, but he said he was tired.

Then we had dinner and talked. I did most of the talking. He is a typical man.

Typical man?

Yes, three words in half an hour. "Yes. No. Maybe."

Yes, well. And so?

After all, we were trying to have children. Or at least I thought so.

Then heard him talking to someone on the phone and asked who it was.

- Do you love her? -Yes.

What the hell...? We are going to have children.

-Yes, That's what you want. -Yes, and you.

I was going to tell you tonight, but I can't stand the noise.

-Tell me what then? - That I want a divorce.

This never-ending hustle and bustle of having children has gnawed holes in my head.

So...have you ever asked what I want?

- Yes, always. -Never!

What? You are absolutely crazy!

Yes, it is possible. If it's wrong to want to have an adult conversation.

Sorry. I...

I never meant to go behind your back.

-Damn it! You are such a fucking coward! - Yes, it is possible.

But I'm so damn sick of your upper class friends-

-and your superficial companies.

I need someone who is secure with herself - Eve.

-How old is she? -What does that have to do with this?

That has a lot to do with this!

-Yes. She is 40. -40? Right.

An old hag?

I thought you wanted a family and children.

Yes, she is pregnant.

Is that true?

I have to take this.

Hello, darling. I can talk.

And then you blamed Nikki?

I wanted to blame Ronny at first, but he's weird.

Then I realized what Nikki had said that about switching kills.

Then it seemed like everything was her fault, because everything went to hell when we met.

It seems like your husband had been straying for a while.

"Straying"? Yes, maybe he had.

But it's better to blame Nikki. A pitiful, failed party girl.

No one will miss her.

Yes. And then you planted the mortar at Nikki's?

But it took too long. I understood that Bruno was going to wake

up, so I had to finish what I started.

- It's burning! - What is going on?

It just started.

I understood that Nikki

suspected she was my scapegoat.

She said the police were looking for for her. So I tried to buy some time.

Then she came to my house with the knife.

She said the police were looking for her.

The worst part is that Nikki was right. Men are...

Men are... What?

Unreliable.

I'm going to be a little late. I'm still at work.

OK. You finish up. See you later.

- Fine. - Bye bye.
