Shoot me!
Breakfast.
-Is it morning already? -Seems so.
-Simpan, did you bake? -That's right.
-Can I try it? -Sure. I made it myself.
It's cinnamon rolls, but with a secret ingredient.
THE GIRL FROM DJURSHOLM IN CUSTODY
Hi, Maja. Welcome.
-Thanks. -How are things going today?
-Okay. -Great.
I brought a few people to help us today. This is Evin.
-Hi. -Hi.
And here's Per.
-Hi. -This is going to go well.
You can have a seat between us. Good morning.
-Good morning, Maja. -Hi.
We will begin today's interrogation with Maria Norberg.
Date of Birth and ID number, 000506-3985. In K482620-18.
Lead interrogator is myself, Detective Jeanette Nilsson.
Present at this interrogation is attorney Peder Sander and his colleagues...
-Evin Orak. -And Per Jonsson.
The date is June 14, 2018, and the time is now 10:10 am.
Let's begin.
How are you feeling today, Maja?
Fantastic.
You've had some time to think and reflect,
is there anything in your story you want to change?
No.
Maja, your classmates are dead.
It...
It would be in everyone's best interest, not least your own, if you cooperate.
If you tried to cooperate.
I'm sorry for your loss.
It struck me just now that I haven't said that yet.
Sebastian was your boyfriend. I'm sorry.
Do you care?
Sebastian is dead, Maja.
I know. I shot him.
I'm going to need to know a little more about you two in order to understand.
For how long were you together?
Depends on how you look at it.
Oh?
There wasn't exactly a ceremony.
I understand that.
But from what I understand you were very much in love?
At least you look very much in love.
Where were these pictures taken?
Was it by the Mediterranean Sea?
I mean, damn, he's hot!
Okay, I've seen bigger, but...
-Knock it off! -Not bad.
Okay, just give me a few more details. How's he in bed?
Well, it's like...
Like it's the first time again.
Oh shit, are you already in love?
-No, I'm not. -Yes, you are!
No, and it doesn't matter anyway. Because it's, like, over.
What do you mean, over?
He hasn't called since we got back.
That doesn't mean it's over.
Yeah, but he can have whoever he wants. Why would he want me?
-Okay, let's call him. -No! No, no. No!
Give it to me!
No way I'm calling him first. He has to call first.
Okay... Don't complain if things get awkward tomorrow at school
when you see each other and don't, like, know where you stand.
Should we make reservations at Café Opera or Kristall?
Kristall can seat more for dinner, but their vegetarian dishes are truly...
Isn't it a bit early to be planning your graduation party?
So what? Senior year is really going to fly by.
And the best dates get taken first.
My party is going to be the last of all of them.
You have to leave now.
What?
Okay. Thanks a lot.
-That's not very polite. -But your mom is here.
Well, okay. Thank you.
Come on. Let's go downstairs.
-What was Claes like? -He was so nice.
Not at all what you'd expect. He was funny, easy going and a warm person.
Hi sweetie, welcome home.
-We're just standing here gossiping. -I can hear that.
-Do you have my clothes? -They're in the car.
-Okay. Love you. Call me later, okay? -Love you. Bye.
I'll be right out.
He treated us to a five-course meal on his boat, one of those, what's it called?
Oh, please.
We're just a little curious about your new boyfriend.
-He's not my boyfriend. -What?
-Weren't you talking about Claes? -Like father like son. You know that, right? Only the best is good enough for you.
-What are we doing on Saturday? -What do you think? Like we said?
SEBASTIAN: I'll pick you up tomorrow morning.
You don't need to say anything. I get it.
It was just a summer fling, nothing serious. I get it.
Are you breaking up with me?
-You're the one breaking up with me. -Why would I do that?
-Because you haven't called. -No, but you haven't, either.
I didn't peg you as somebody who waited for a guy to call you.
I thought that was exactly the type of girl you usually dated. Yeah, but that's probably why I like you so much.
You're not like everyone else. Say that it's you and me.
-Say it. -It's you and me.
Hey.
Come here.
-Hi. Welcome to our class. -Thanks.
Hey, I have to take care of something first. See you later.
Get a room.
So it's over between you two, huh?
No, not exactly!
-I knew it would happen! -Yeah, yeah, yeah. See you in class.
Okay.
Hey.
Hi.
-How was summer? -Good.
Okay. Can you elaborate on that?
Or what?
-Did you study all summer? -No, just half of it.
I had my internship to do.
And I had to study with this guy. Hey.
-Are you psyched for English class? -Yeah.
Hi.
-There's something called sunbathing, too. -Say again?
Sunbathing. A non-curricular activity.
I know about non-curricular activities. Think about that while you're sunbathing.
-I'm not as pale as before the break. -Hey, why ruin perfection?
God...
I'm not doing it.
Hi!
-Did you have a good summer? -Really great, and you?
Great! Welcome.
Hey, how's it going? Great to see you guys.
-How are you doing? -Good, and how are you?
Can everyone please find a seat? Hello? Hello?
Have a seat, please.
It's back to the grind again.
Okay. So, what have you all been up to?
Well, besides being glued to your cell phones and getting malignant melanoma?
Anyone here read a good book, for example?
-Samir's probably read quite a few. -No surprises there.
Anyone else?
Why not just wait for the movie?
Maja, isn't your favorite that one about the couple dying of cancer?
-It was intense. -That one was so sad.
Okay, so back to literature, thanks. Samir, tell us, what have you read?
Mohsin Hamid's Exit West.
And The Idiot by Elif Batuman.
And then I re-read Into the Wild. Because it's a masterpiece.
-Really great. -Any other hidden gems perhaps?
On the Road, maybe?
Hey.
-Sorry. Excuse me. -No, don't worry. Welcome.
So this is our new addition for the semester...
-Maybe you already know a few people here? -A few.
Let's do a round of introductions. Tobias?
Hey. Tobias.
-Mika. -Amanda.
Victoria.
Hey. I'm Jacob.
Maja.
-Mela. -Elsa.
-Tom. -Simon.
-A lot of names. -And what's your name?
-Hey. Sebastian. -Hey. Samir. Nice to meet you.
Did you read any good books this summer, Sebastian?
Did your relationship with Sebastian change you in any way?
That's what others are saying.
Arrogant. Self-important. Detached. Unpredictable. Cocky.
-Someone said: "It was a whole new Maja." -Sure, whatever they say.
Are you going to ask any real questions, or are you just speculating about gossip?
Did you do drugs before you met Sebastian?
How is it relevant what she did before she met Sebastian?
At the time of your arrest, you had cocaine and Tramadol in your blood.
So it's a relevant question.
She was arrested after she met Sebastian, so it doesn't make sense to me.
I experimented a little. Once or twice.
-What type? -Ecstasy and cocaine.
-On what occasions? -Partying occasions.
Sebastian's parties?
No, I'd never been to any of his parties before he began in our class.
-How many were invited? -Lots.
I wonder who's playing. I bet it's a famous DJ.
Or a band, maybe.
-What's on the menu? -I don't know.
-Does he know I'm a vegetarian? -Yes, of course.
-Hi. -Hi. Maja Norberg.
-Maja Norberg. Of course. Welcome. -Thank you.
-Thanks. -Thank you.
-Would you say Labbe is a keeper? -Did you guys hook up?
Well, no. But I'm going to. Tonight.
It would be so much fun if you're with Sibbe and I'm with Labbe.
They're good friends. We're good friends. The four of us could hang out.
-Talk to Labbe before you start planning. -Oh...
Make out with him first. What if you end up not liking him?
-But I do like him. -What if he doesn't like you?
Why wouldn't he like me?
There she is! The main attraction!
Hi.
-The life of the party. How are you? -Good. And you? -Amanda, right? Hi. -Hey. This is great.
Yes, and this is Dennis.
Here's Maja, my girlfriend. Her friend Amanda.
You already know Labbe, of course. You've met.
Hi.
-Hi. -Hey.
Girls, girls, listen up now. This guy... May I?
You can't have a real party without Dennis.
The best event organizer in Stockholm. I promise.
One for you and one for you.
Enjoy your drinks, and have fun! Oh, I love this song!
Yeah!
Come on, let's dance.
Come on. Let's dance.
You can't just stand there!
Pink skies and those black SUVs Have double-parked half the city
-Come on now, Maja. Come on. -Get a grip!
-Come on now! -Okay!
Hey. I've got some new stuff.
-Are you coming or not? -Oh, you're so awesome.
-Definitely. You coming with? -No, it's fine.
Samir? What the hell are you doing here?
Does he snort lines from your bare belly?
First you snort your noses full, then he shoots his load, is that it?
Are you done?
What do you see in him? Besides free drugs?
What, I'm not allowed have fun? Why the hell are you here, then?
-Labbe wanted to come. -Oh, so he twisted your arm? Poor thing.
We had a few beers and I wanted to see what fuzz was all about.
It was just as I expected.
A total fucking disappointment. Just like you.
I never thought you'd be impressed by stuff like this. You think I'm with Sebastian for his money?
But Maja, please. Why else?
Take away all of this, and all that's left is a punk-ass junkie.
You might as well get together with the dealer. At least he has a personality.
-You don't even know Sebastian. -He's a fucking nobody.
And what the hell are you?
You're drinking his alcohol and trash talking him behind his back.
You're the one who's here for his money. Not me.
What are you doing? Cut it out!
Help me snag Labbe. Come on.
Amanda!
Can't you see she doesn't want any?
Knock it off, fucking idiot.
Why do you keep trying to give it to her when she says she doesn't want it?
Let go of me!
What the hell are you doing?
Let go of me!
What the hell is he doing?
Do you like being their bitch?
Do you like being their bitch?!
-Get him out of here. -Stop it!
I can go on my own. I'd rather go myself. Really, I can...
Hey! Get him out of here. He's bleeding all over the fucking house.
What happened?
It's not a party without a fight!
According to witnesses Sebastian was over the top, crazy...
unpredictable, didn't care about school...
-They didn't know him. -No. But you did.
You two were very close, together almost all the time. Inseparable.
I was told that you...
You two kept to yourselves, pulled away.
You're still speculating about gossip. Maja, don't listen to her.
Did you control him?
How is she supposed to answer that?
Did you control Sebastian, Maja?
I don't know. What am I supposed to say?
Was it you two against the world? Is that it?
Fuck...
Damn.
Hi. Sorry, we haven't really had the chance to take care of...
Hey! Wake up.
Wake up. Hey, wake up!
Quick! Get dressed.
Your dad is home. The place looks like crap. We have to clean up.
Maja, calm down.
What do you mean, calm down?
Maja...
Our family has people who take out the trash for us.
We don't have to do it ourselves.
-Come to bed. -No. I have to go home.
-Come and lie down here now. -I have to go home.
Fuck!
Christ...
Maja, could you please come in here for a moment?
-Have you ever been to South Africa? -No.
Hunting is the best way to get to know a person.
That's when people show their true colors.
-What do you say? -About what?
Are you coming along to South Africa or not?
I'm only seventeen. I don't have a license.
That won't be a problem.
I'll take care of that.
-Okay? -Okay.
Hi. Sorry, I completely forgot to call. I'm really sorry.
No problem. Did you have a good time?
Yeah...
Well, aren't you going to fill me in? Who were there?
Who did you meet? Anyone famous?
No one you'd have heard of, I think.
Something smells like smoke.
It might be me.
A few people were smoking yesterday. It might be my jacket.
-Can I throw these out? -Yes, of course. Unless you want them?
Hang your jacket in the basement, Maja.
Hey. Can I sit here, or...?
-Check with the staff. -Huh?
I can't stop you, but if you sit here, I'm leaving.
Okay. You're angry. I get it.
-I was a douche that night. -Do you even remember what you said?
Yes. I said a ton of stupid stuff. And not just to you. I'm sorry, really.
I was an idiot. Sorry.
Hello?
What do you want from me?
Do I have to get on my hands and knees in front of everybody?
Because I will. I'll grovel in the mud, if that's what it takes.
-Anything for you. Dear Maja... -No, stop! Stop!
-I apologize for my behavior. -Stop it.
-What was your answer for question seven? -I haven't gotten that far.
-How far have you gotten? -Question five.
-Wow. After one hour? -Stop.
-Hey, I'll see you later. -Bye.
-Here it comes. -Wooh!
-One more time! -That's it, yes.
-Let's do a countdown. -Three, two, one.
-Oops! -Accidents happen. Right?
-The Pancake King. -The Pancake King.
Congratulations, Sebastian.
I've just spent twenty minutes talking to your principal on the phone.
Would it kill you to simply show up?
-Look at me when I'm talking to you. -Come, let's go.
-But I want pancakes. -Later.
I mean, we're not expecting much of anything from you, right?
You just have to stay in school.
Don't just stand there like a damn fool.
-Why are you skipping class? -Put on your jacket.
What's your problem? I've done everything I could to help you, everything!
I don't want any more calls from your principal, is that clear?
-Are you angry? -No.
-Was that man angry? -Yes, he was angry.
Why?
I can sail where the winds are calm
I can row without oars
But cannot be parted from my friend
Without shedding...
-How many times have you fired a rifle? -A few times.
-Where? -At my granddad's. -Did you hunt? -No, I don't have a hunting license.
-Are you a good shot? Huh? -I'm decent. Or, I don't know.
Your granddad says you did trap shooting. Are you a good shot?
-My granddad didn't tell you? -Just answer, are you a good shot?
Pretty good.
-Do you like firing guns? -Trap shooting is fun.
-Fun? -Have you ever tried it?
What about hunting? How do you like that? Killing animals?
-It's exciting, I guess, or... -Exciting to kill?
Now, hold on a second. You don't have to answer these questions.
-Was the classroom shooting exciting, too? -No.
Stop it. Stop it, stop it. Sit down! What if we get pulled over?
You're such a good driver. Better than me, and you don't have a driver's license.
It's not that difficult. But the police won't care if we get pulled over.
Sweden fucking sucks!
You should be able to get your license when you're 16, like in the US.
Stop it. Hey, stop, knock it off. Listen, if you don't stop, I'm turning this car around...
Whose car is this, by the way?
Do you think I stole it or something?
-Does your dad know that you use it? -Yeah, of course he does.
He seemed really angry. Is he often like that?
Just tell me.
Everything was so much better when it was only you and me.
No parents. No fucking school. No shitty boring everyday life.
-Say you're mine. -I'm yours.
-Look at me when you say it. -I'm yours.
-Woohoo! Wooh! -Shut up, it's not funny!
Just shut up! Fuck.
Fuck, fuck...
Holy fucking... shit!
Fuck!
-Calm down. -Calm down?
-Do you know how expensive this car is? -Dad has lots of cars. It's fine.
How the hell could you let me drive? I'll never get my driver's license now!
-Maja, listen to me, it's fine. -No, it's not, your dad will flip out.
-Don't worry. I was driving the car. -What?
-Say I was the one driving the car. -You're going to get in so much trouble.
-Listen, Maja. I totaled the car. -No.
I was behind the wheel. Okay? It's going to be fine.
-Shit. -It's going to be fine.
Pull!
Wow, kid. Not bad. You've done this before, that's obvious.
Yeah. I have, yes. A few times.
Can I see? Have you been in a fistfight?
No, it's... Your granddaughter here, she's a little hot-headed.
-Cut it out. -As you can see.
We were playing tennis the other day and I wasn't paying attention,
so I guess I had it coming.
-Playing tennis? -Exactly.
I'm so glad that you came.
Thanks to you the average age just dropped by several decades!
Oh yeah?
Gentlemen! Attention!
-We're off to the woods now. -Does it hurt?
Are you ready?
It's the usual ground rules. Number one: You can't shoot each other.
We should have come clean right away. Then this never would've happened.
I should have admitted to driving the car.
Is Claes still angry?
-Should I talk to him? -Don't worry about it now. Drop it.
He's already forgotten it.
Has this happened before?
-What? -Has he hit you before?
Hush...
-Here you go. -What? No, I'm not allowed to shoot.
Take it.
This is the best feeling in the world. Nothing else exists.
Set your aim. Start low,
and then when you start to get close to your focus point, you release the shot.
Okay.
Come on, Maja.
-Nice shot. -Thank you.
Clean. Beautiful.
Now you're proud of your sweetheart, right?
-Yes, very. -Turn around.
-There you go. Congratulations. -Thank you. Thanks.
-Congratulations. -Thanks.
-Well done. Congratulations. -Thanks.
Grab hold.
I love you.
-You were in love with Sebastian? -Yes, I was.
So why did you shoot him?
If you loved him, why did you shoot him?
Because he asked me to.
-You shot him because he asked you to? -Yes. That's what I said.
Did he ask you after the two of you had shot everyone else?
What are you insinuating? "After the two of you"?
Did he also ask you to follow him into the classroom, or did he force you?
I think we're done here.
Tell me what you want me to say, and I'll say it.
I didn't become a different person when I met Sebastian. Doing drugs was my choice.
I'm not a victim and I'm not a little girl.
I shot Sebastian. I've admitted to it, so what else do you want me to say?
Nothing more right now, please.
That's it for today. This has been a long and exhausting interrogation.
Okay, today's interrogation is over, and the time is 5:31 pm.
Oh, and tomorrow the prosecutor will be sitting in. Just so you know, Maja.
Tomorrow?! Hold on. You can't spring this on us last-minute!
-That wasn't very smart, Maja. -What do you mean?
You can't say stuff based on what you think the police wants to hear.
-I know you're frustrated and tired and... -Do you?
Yes. You get the same questions over and over again, but you have to concentrate.
During the pre-trial investigation, we can't do anything.
-Why do you want to defend me? -Huh?
-Why do you want to defend me? -What kind of question is that?
Give me an answer. Why do you want to defend me?
I see it as a unique opportunity for me to learn new things,
and I hope that I can contribute with my own experiences.
What kind of experiences? You're mostly contributing with your background, right?
The perfect alibi. A young ethnic woman to illustrate
how the projects support The Girl from Djursholm.
I can assure you that Evin is highly qualified.
I don't doubt that. But that's not why she's here, right?
Maja, are you getting any sleep?
Probably more than you. It can't be fun to be an obvious affirmative action case.
Did Sander tell you to take out your nose ring?
Hey, that's enough.
A short interrogation tomorrow, then you have the weekend off.
Can you handle that?
We're on your side, Maja. We're all working to get you out of this.
Get out to what?
There's only one in here. I know I had more.
Yeah. We hear that a lot.
Where are the others? Did I scare them off?
What? No, not at all. No, I thought we could manage just fine by ourselves today.
-How many people have you defended? -I don't know. Quite a few.
Enough to know what you're doing.
It's not your job to defend Sebastian.
It's not your duty to enlighten the world of how wonderful he was. Sebastian's dead.
This case must be about you and what you can be held responsible for.
Do you understand that? Good. Step inside.
-Hello. -Hi.
Hi.
Lena Pärsson.
-Should I say Maria or... just Maja? -Whatever you want.
Then I'll say Maja. You can call me Lena.
Okay. We begin questioning of the suspect, Maria Norberg.
000506-3985.
K482620-18.
The date is June 15, 2018.
The time is 3:01 pm.
Lead interrogator is detective Jeanette Nilsson.
Also present are prosecutor Lena Pärsson and attorney Peder Sander.
I would like to talk about what happened that morning,
before you and Sebastian left for school.
This is about Sebastian's dad, Claes Fagerman.
How do you feel about him? Any thoughts?
-I don't like him. -Why is that?
I hate him.
-Hate is a strong word. -He's a pig.
-You hate Claes Fagerman? -Yes.
We've gone through your text messages.
Do you remember what you wrote to Sebastian before school?
No, wait a second, this is not okay. This is extremely unprofessional.
"We'll be fine without him. You don't need him. Your dad is vile."
You loved Sebastian, and were willing to do anything for him.
"Your dad is a psycho. He deserves to die."
He adopted your friends, and you adopted his enemies.
"I want him to die."
You were going to die together, but that didn't happen.
Did you get scared, Maja? Were you scared of what that meant?
You don't have to answer, Maja. Should we take a break?
Besides murder and accessory to murder, you will also be charged with incitement.
-Thank you, that's enough. -You compelled Sebastian to kill his dad.
That's enough. That's enough!
Maja, hold on. Calm down.
Maja, calm down. Maja. There, there.
Back away from her, back away from her, back away!
