What the hell have you done? What are you doing?
-Have you been protecting the robber? -Yes.
Have you been threatened, or what's this about?
You did it voluntarily?
Yes.
So tell me who the hell it is.
She's actually just a normal
mom.
My name is Jim Johansson. I'm a policeman.
I'm sorry.
I don't understand how I could do this.
Are you the robber?
Liv, you need to explain everything properly.
I can't lose my girls.
What's happened to your girls?
Hi, Mommy's darlings.
I just wanted to say Happy New Year.
-How are you? -Good.
Are you celebrating New Year with us?
No, I'm not.
Not this year.
Can you have dinner and sleep over here?
No, I can't.
Please.
When can we come to your place?
Soon, darling.
This is for you.
Oh, that's nice.
How about you go to your room?
-Mommy loves you. -Say bye to Mommy.
It'll be fine.
-Okay. -Bye.
So, have you found an apartment?
I'll have it soon.
I'm afraid I'll have to give you this. It's a court order.
If you don't get a contract before January,
you'll lose custody.
-That's how serious this is. -I'm about to get a rental contract.
Stråkvägen 1. I'll get the apartment in the new year.
That's great, but I need to see the contract.
I need to pay some rent in advance.
Right, you do that, and then we'll see.
Can I borrow 6,500 from you? I'll pay it back later.
You can't keep doing that.
Please.
We're divorced now and you need to take responsibility for your life.
You're the one who ruined it.
You fucked my boss so that I lost my job.
You wanted the divorce and threw me out of our home.
What the hell? I don't get it. What happened to our life?
Calm down and think of the kids.
That's all I ever do.
They need their mom too.
You just focus on this one thing.
Get that damn rental agreement.
You need to have it, otherwise they'll stay here from January.
I don't have anyone else I can ask.
I'm sorry. You're gonna have to go.
Okay. Happy New Year.
GIVE ME 6500!
We need to help her.
But I need some time to work out how to do it,
so we have one more thing to ask.
We'd like some fireworks.
Fireworks?
What's her name, dammit?
Liv.
Liv Holmberg.
She's a lovely woman.
A good mom, a nice person.
Is that her?
Is she the robber?
Yes.
Of course it was wrong and stupid to try and rob a bank,
but she was so desperate.
She felt that her life was over. When that's the case, it's easy
to make stupid decisions.
If anyone's made stupid decisions here, it's you, right?
You've been protecting a criminal, Dad.
I wanted to give her a chance.
You've been helping her, dammit.
She's a criminal. Fucking hell.
You've been such a role model for me all my fucking life, and now…
I understand that you're disappointed.
Where did she go?
-I don't know. -Come on.
It's true. I don't know.
She fucking robbed a bank!
She's taken hostages and fired shots and shit.
She was under phenomenal amounts of pressure.
-You don't understand this situation. -Do you know what I feel like doing?
I feel like reporting you for professional misconduct.
You're a lousy policeman and a useless dad.
Hi.
I'm looking for Liv Holmberg. Is she here?
No, she doesn't live here anymore.
-This is her registered address. -She's moved out.
We're getting divorced.
-Why would you like to talk to her? -I can't say, I'm afraid.
What… Hi there.
Lasse, you need to be honest when a policeman asks you questions.
What do you mean? He just got here.
Yes.
What?
Yes…
Liv lives in a storeroom, and she can't have her daughters there.
-In a storeroom? -Yes, it's insane. We've said that.
-Where is the storeroom? -Stråkvägen 1.
Stråkvägen 1.
She's been promised a rental contract at the same property.
-It's kind of-- -But we haven't seen that yet.
She's very unstable and not a very good mom.
I used to work with her. I was her boss.
I've told the other official agencies that
the best thing is if Lasse gets custody of both girls.
If, after a while, it turns out she can fulfill her role as a mom,
she can arrange proper accommodation.
But you do need proper accommodation
and not some chicken wire cage with a padlock.
-Well, it's made of wood. -But the kids--
-But it's not great. -I see. Thanks for your time.
I asked for rent in advance, as usual.
That's how it works.
But she never came in with the money, so I had to find another tenant.
I see.
Do you think I should have given her a contract without any security?
No, I don't know how these things work.
So let me tell you how things work.
There's a hell of a lot of whining coming from all these tenants
thinking that I'm some kind of charity,
simply because I own multiple properties.
I'm more than happy to donate money to Lions, or whatever,
but on my terms.
And this Liv was whining endlessly
about her husband who'd fucked her boss,
and he's threatened to take the children from her unless I offer her a contract.
Suddenly it's all on me.
I see.
So I'm supposed to give her 6,500 kronor
to avoid her life going up shit creek.
Six thousand five hundred?
Yes, the advance rent.
Is that the exact amount?
Yes, and that's cheap.
Where is she now?
-No idea. -Would you show me the storeroom?
Sure.
Stefan speaking.
In the glove compartment.
-Where is it? -Down on the right.
What do you mean, it's not there?
I put the keys and the contract in an envelope in the…
It's supposed to be in the glove compartment.
It's there. Check again.
They must be under something.
Check again.
Just get down to the car and check again.
It's all there.
Have you finished looking? I need to go.
Yes.
-Yeah, okay. -Okay.
-Hi. -The police are looking for me.
Calm down. Come in.
-They don't know you're living here. -I don't know how it would work.
If I move in with the kids, they'll find me.
-They know who I am. -We don't know for sure that they know.
We do. They came looking for me in the storeroom.
One thing at a time. Let's have a glass of wine and just calm down.
They're coming out. Six of them, right? Or is someone behind them?
My dear.
Won't you come and look at the fireworks?
They're terrific.
They're for your girls.
You're so nice, Estelle.
My girls.
They love fireworks.
Oh, sweetheart.
I understand you more than you think.
Nothing is more important than your kids.
I know how you can get away.
Just do as I say and everything will be alright.
Next year will be a good year.
Believe me.
-Do you think so? -I promise you.
Are you going somewhere?
I'm resigning.
I thought it was time to move on.
Right, so what do you want?
I want to know where the robber is.
Do you think I know?
Yes, I do.
I know that you hostages have lied when questioned
and that you have protected the robber, Liv Holmberg.
I want to know where she is, Zarah.
I have no idea where she is.
Why would I believe you now?
Because I have stopped lying.
I'm being totally honest.
I'm not lying. I don't know where she is.
Could you drop this off at the bank?
If you promise not to jump.
Okay.
No!
-No, that's… -What…
Why have you got that letter? Why have you got it?
It's my letter.
I handed it in.
-At this bank. -What?
Yes, he…
The guy on the bridge, he gave it to me before he…
So I was a kid. I was 13.
I was on my way back from school when…
I thought I'd be able to stop him, but he just jumped.
I couldn't stop him.
It was…
You did all you could.
At least you tried.
Did you know him?
No, I didn't know him, but he was a client.
He wanted a loan.
But I denied him a loan commitment.
That was just before he went off and…
before he…
That's why I went to the viewing of that apartment.
Just to have a look.
To see where he grew up.
Is he Estelle's son?
Yes.
I didn't know. I had no idea.
Yeah.
What's in the letter?
I haven't opened it.
I've been too scared.
-What I don't like is that-- -Hi.
Hello, Constable. How is it going?
-Have you found the robber yet? -It's going well, actually.
We're progressing.
Estelle,
I have to ask you
something about your son.
Gustav? He's not alive anymore.
I know. I didn't know that he was your son.
I was there and met him when he… or just before he…
just before it happened. Before he jumped.
You were there?
I really tried to save him.
I did…
I tried, but it didn't work.
He couldn't be saved. He was suffering from incurable cancer.
Hang on. Did he have cancer?
Yes, that's why he committed suicide.
He didn't want to die slowly with his body plagued with tumors
and full of painkillers.
I thought I--
I'm sure you did what you could.
That's what you do as a human being.
If you get a chance to save someone, you take it.
I think that makes you a better person too.
Sometimes things aren't what they seem. Appearances can be deceiving.
It was wrong of me to lie to you,
to keep the truth from you.
You're a good policeman, Jack,
and you have 40 years of service left.
I understand that you have to do your job.
I just wanted to say that I've found out
where she lives.
With Estelle.
Do what you have to do.
You can play outside for half an hour, then it's lunchtime.
-Can we have tacos? -No, pancakes.
We're having something really yummy. Where's your coat?
-I think it's in my room. -I'll get it.
-Can we play hide and seek? -I want to hide first.
-No, I do. -No, I do.
-Are you a policeman? -Yes, I am. Who are you?
My name is Vera, although Mommy calls me monkey.
-I'm the frog and Mommy is the moose. -I see.
Where is--
Why are you here?
Do you know what?
So, you know your mommy does everything for you.
-Yes. -Not everyone has a mom like that.
No.
That's how it is.
We're going outside now.
-Bye. -Bye, Mr. Policeman.
Am I not coming with you?
No.
You need to stay here with your kids. They need you.
Thank you.
I realize that you've had a tough time.
I did something totally insane. I'm really not that kind of person.
I understand, but that's what happened.
So, just a question.
How the hell did you get out of the apartment that night?
Right. Let's do this.
No, I can't. I just can't.
-I can't do this. -Yes, that's what we agreed.
I know, but I'm so--
We're hostages.
We've experienced something highly unpleasant.
Therefore, no one will be surprised if we behave a bit strangely.
I'm just asking you to go along with it.
Go along with it and all will be fine.
Yes.
-Where is she going? -The less you know the better.
Okay? Let's go.
Yes.
FOR ESTELLE FROM KLAS-GÖRAN
Jim, I can see movement in the apartment.
The hostage taker may still be in the apartment.
Roger.
Police!
Hang on. In an apartment in this block?
Just outside?
Yes, next door.
-Yeah. -Oh shit.
I really hope I won't see you again.
For real. I don't wanna see you again.
And look after yourself.
And the kids.
I went to arrest her,
but when I saw her and the kids and everything,
I just couldn't do it.
I just couldn't.
"To err is human,
to forgive divine."
I am very proud of you.
You're a much better policeman than I am.
Maybe sometimes.
A lot of the time.
But you're a great dad, anyway.
It was…
Sorry for what I said. I shouldn't have.
It's fine.
"But I'm choosing to end my life."
"You should know that it's not your fault. Gustav."
How incredibly generous.
He didn't have to write to you.
He had a few other things on his mind.
Indeed.
What are you gonna do now you're no longer a banker?
I don't know.
I've got an idea.
Of course you do.
Plumber. Definitely. You have a typical plumber's aura.
Okay.
Thanks for the advice.
It's a nice bridge.
No.
What?
You can't say it's a nice bridge.
-I think it's nice. -No, Venice has pretty bridges.
This is a bog standard brutalist bridge.
Just like you.
You're bog standard boring, but great to me.
Okay, then.
Jill?
-Hi, Dad. -Hi, how are you?
I'm fine. Just a bit tired.
That's understandable.
Hey, I…
I meant what I said before.
I want you to move home.
What does Jack think?
He wants that too.
Thanks, Dad.
I'm sorry.
I've really made up my mind now, Dad.
I will quit. I promise.
I can't do this anymore.
That's great, Jill.
We'll do this together.
I love you.
I love you too.
-Kisses. -Kisses.
Look. I think you should go for the dark gray color on the skirting.
These light walls can also be painted gray.
Anna-Lena wanted to put up wallpaper.
Wallpaper? Is she mad? Darling!
-Yes. -Do you think we should wallpaper here?
Wouldn't that be good?
-Hello. -Hi.
-How was yesterday? -A bit better.
-That's so expensive. -They'll be living here a long time.
How often are you in the hallway?
-Are you okay? -Oh, sure.
The girls want to teach me something called "shut up" on the cell phone.
But it's too tricky for me.
Shut up?
That's not very nice.
-It's called Snapchat. -Snapchat.
I'll get this, and you go see the kids.
Okay, thank you.
Hey, guys.
Are you pranking Granny?
Is there a little monkey here? Are you coming to get me?
No!
-Hello. -Hi.
How are you?
I'm okay.
-It's good to see you. -It's nice to see you too.
I do feel okay.
Do you?
Hi, Dad.
