- [low rumbling] - [tense music playing]
Are you okay? Did you see something?
No.
I took that job.
What can I say? Congratulations.
I felt that he was trying to communicate with me.
[Veronika] I felt it.
I will absolutely not do something I might regret.
[gunshot]
[ears ringing]
[Frank] PTSD. Are you joining the meeting?
[Nassir] You and Mira had a sexual relationship which Nils discovered.
What the hell are you doing?
I was angry at the time, but I did not threaten Nils.
You can't show it to Älgen.
- We found this in Jesper's car. - [Dino] These are Nils' keys.
[Jesper] Listen. I have to get out of town.
We can't lose him now, Rasmus. Okay?
[Nassir] This time we've got him.
[tense music playing]
[beeping]
[clanking]
[safe door closes]
[heavy thudding]
[clattering]
[both grunting]
I'll kill you, you bastard!
- [muffled shouting] - [car starts]
[tense intro music playing]
[suspenseful music playing]
[doorbell ringing]
Nassir! Just got a call. Two cars are chasing each other through town.
- [Nassir] Where are they now? - Postgatan, southbound.
[dramatic music playing]
[dispatch] The cars were seen at route 43, heading west toward Stigsunda.
You can take a shortcut, turn left after the factory.
We should get there first and be able to take them on the 43.
[dispatch] Copy.
- Hi there. - Hi. Hi, Emma.
Sorry, I didn't hear you.
Is Jesper home?
- No. Has something happened? - No, no, no.
Nothing. I just need to talk to him.
Would it be okay if we talked for a bit too?
Absolutely.
- Can I come in for a while? - Yes, absolutely.
We can sit here if you want.
We're trying to reach Jesper. Do you know when he'll be home?
Well, he only said that he would be home late today.
Okay.
- Do you want something to drink? - Yes, please.
Where are the cars now? Over.
Last report is from a minute ago. They were by Gränsta. Over.
[Rasmus] Thank you. Out. We will make it.
How did you meet, you and Jesper?
Um...
My dad is crazy about speedway, so the interest rubbed off on me.
Then I saw Jesper ride.
That was a very long time ago.
He was injured, unfortunately, and had to stop riding.
- Do you still go to the matches? - No.
I leave that to Jesper.
- Should I be worried about something? - [phone ringing]
Sorry. I just have to...
- Hello. - [Nassir] It's me, can you talk?
[Veronika] Uh, yes.
Jesper and Älgen are chasing each other through town.
- I think Älgen knows. - [Veronika] Okay.
- Are you still with Emma? - Yes.
Okay. Try to get more information. Find out what she knows.
- Uh... sure. - Good. Bye.
Mm. Bye.
- Any idea where Jesper is now? - At the workshop, I guess.
Because you said he would be late. Do you know why?
No.
[Rasmus] We are 500 meters from the exit. Where are they now?
[dispatch] You have to take road 43.
They're heading straight towards you. You should meet them anytime now.
- [Nassir] They'll pass here. - [Rasmus] Yep.
[suspenseful music playing]
[Rasmus] They should be here any time now.
[Emma sighs]
Has it happened other times?
- Emma, you know you can get help with... - It's no big deal.
Is he violent toward others?
[exhales]
[pensive music playing]
Check with the station. See if they've heard anything.
- [Rasmus] What's the status? Over. - [dispatch] No changes, over.
Nothing new.
They were last seen on this road. Could they have stopped?
[Nassir] Give them another minute.
What would you describe Jesper and Älgen's relationship?
Would you say that they are close?
Yes, they're brothers. Why do you ask?
Do you know that Jesper and Mira have a sexual relationship?
What?
We found out that Nils saw them.
[low tense music playing]
[Rasmus] What the hell's going on?
- Let's go see if we can find anything. - Okay.
[tense music continues]
[Nassir] What the hell?
[Nassir] There's been an accident, send for an ambulance.
- [woman] He came from nowhere. - [Nassir speaks indistinctly]
Is that your car? Go, sit down.
[Nassir] Is he breathing?
I don't fucking know. I can't feel a pulse.
[Älgen] Do you feel anything? Huh? Do you feel anything?
- I have a pulse. It's weak. - Okay. Good
- Keep fighting, brother. - Keep talking to him.
- Where the hell is the ambulance? - Keep talking.
- [Rasmus] Ambulance is on the way. - Brother.
- [Nassir] Keep talking to him. - I'm here. Can you hear me?
[Älgen] Come on, we can do this.
[Veronika] Emma...
I have to ask these questions.
[foreboding music playing]
[rumbling, creaking]
Are you okay?
Yes.
- Can I use the toilet? - Yes, absolutely.
- Uh... there is one in the hallway. - Thanks.
[eerie music playing]
[rapid heartbeats]
[music builds]
- [breathing heavily] - [music fades]
[phone ringing]
[clears throat] Yes, hello, Inger.
[Emma] No, I sent him home.
Mm-hm.
No, I just let him go earlier.
[ominous music playing]
[door creaks]
[ominous music continues]
[ominous music builds]
[paramedic grunts]
Rasmus, can you go with them to hospital?
Yes, sure. Of course.
Hey.
If he dies, you don't call our mother. You hear me?
- I'll have to tell her myself. - Okay.
What happened?
Well... fuck.
He drove off the road because I was chasing him and wanted to kill him.
What you say now makes you a suspect according to the law...
"Suspect"? I confess!
We'll take it at the station later, once you've calmed down.
I don't have to calm down. If he dies, it's my fault. Got it?
- Don't go anywhere. - No, I'll stay here.
[eerie music playing]
- [gasps] - [ominous music playing]
[phone ringing]
- Yes? - [Klara] Another boy disappeared.
When?
[Klara] The parents just came into the station,
he never came home from school.
- What's his name? - Sebastian Dahl. Nils' best friend.
- When was he was last seen? - At school.
The teacher said that he left the after-school at 5:00pm,
and he said that he was allowed to go home by himself, but he wasn't.
[ominous music playing]
[Veronika exhales sharply]
[Veronika] Sebastian?
Who is the teacher who closed the after-school activities?
[Klara] Hold on while I check.
Emma Lindkvist.
Does Emma usually borrow Jesper's car? Huh?
I don't know. What the hell? Of course she borrows it.
It's theirs. She uses the car.
I need to get hold of Emma. She is involved.
- [Klara] Okay. - I have to get hold of Veronika.
[Veronika breathing heavily]
[Veronika grunts, exhales]
[ominous music playing]
- [Veronika gasps] - [gun clicks]
Stand still.
[eerie voices whispering]
[ominous music building]
- [tires screeching] - [muffled gunshot]
[Veronika] Stay awake.
[Veronika] Look at me, Tomas. Look at me!
[Veronika breathing shakily]
[muffled gunshot]
[ominous music continues]
[Veronika breathing heavily]
[heartbeats]
- [Veronika grunts] - [ominous music fades]
[tense music playing]
[bird caws]
[tense music builds]
[Veronika exhales]
[car revving]
[dialing tone]
[Veronika] You have reached Veronika, say something after the beep.
[dial tone]
[tense music playing]
[phone buzzing]
[phone ringing]
Hello! How are things going?
I'm at Emma and Jesper's home. I found Veronika's mobile.
But there's no one here. Can you check on her car?
Just one second.
[Klara] The car is driving south on county road 42.
- [Klara] No wait, she's turning. - [Nassir] Okay.
- [Klara] On to a forest road. - [Nassir] What's there?
I don't know.
[Klara] She's stopping.
[suspenseful music playing]
[eagle screeching]
[Veronika] Emma! Pull him out.
Pull him out!
I'll shoot.
Pull him out!
Emma!
[tense music continues]
[Veronika grunting]
[grunting]
Sebastian. Sebastian!
Wake up.
Sebastian. Sebastian.
[coughs weakly]
Lie on your side. There. There. It'll be fine. It'll be fine.
Good. [breathes heavily]
[Emma] Back away from him.
[suspenseful music playing]
Why? I don't understand why.
How did you know where we were?
[tense music building]
Lower the weapon! I said, lower the weapon! Emma!
- [gunshot] - [Emma yells]
[groans]
- [Nassir] Are you okay? Is he okay? - Yes.
Okay. We have backup on the way.
[panting]
[melancholic music playing]
[eagle screeches]
[melancholic music continues]
[anchor] It's eight o'clock and time for the news.
The murder of twelve-year-old Nils in Älvsbruk is almost resolved.
The police remain tight-lipped
but a person has been arrested on probable cause,
which is the stronger degree.
- Now to Gothenburg, where-- - [click]
[lawyer] My client confesses to the murder of Nils Björklund
and kidnapping and attempted murder of Sebastian Dahl.
Okay. Good.
Can you tell us about the day you took Nils?
I guess I had been thinking about it for a while.
[Emma] So when Alice was injured, I knew I had to do something.
Tom was away at a party, um...
and I saw Nils walking alone.
So I went out to him.
I asked if he wanted to come in for a sandwich and he said yes.
And then I poured benzo in his juice and, well... the rest you know.
Why did you do it?
[deep breath]
Because no one else did anything.
[Nassir] What do you mean by that?
[Emma] Because it had been going on forever.
The bullying of Alice.
And because I had told the school board several times,
but no one did anything.
So when Alice was injured, I felt that it was enough.
The world does not need more men like that.
What about Sebastian?
He was also guilty.
I didn't know that at first, but then he confessed to you.
[clears throat] When we went through your mobile, we found these pictures.
[Nassir] Is that you in all of them?
Has it been going on for a long time?
Mm-hmm.
[melancholic music continues]
Emma, unfortunately I need to let you know
that Jesper passed away this morning as a result of his injuries.
[Veronika] I'm sorry for your loss.
The interrogation of Emma Lindkvist ends at 12:35.
[pensive music playing]
[reporter] There are reports that the suspected teacher
repeatedly reported bullying and a toxic environment at the school,
but that the school never acted.
[Inger] I have to look into those statements.
[reporter] But has the school been too soft in its handling of bullying?
[Inger] No, I don't agree with that.
At the school, we have a zero tolerance, which we work hard to enforce.
[reporter] But could it have been avoided if the school had acted?
[Inger] I don't know what else we could've done.
Hey.
- Hello. - [Klara] Hello.
I've been an idiot.
I'm sorry.
- Thanks. - I turned down the job in Stockholm.
If this is where you want to be, then this is where I want to be.
I think we want different things.
- [Nassir scoffs] - I have to...
[melancholic music playing]
[birdsong]
[melancholic music continues]
[machines beeping]
[click, beep]
[melancholic music continues]
[cries softly]
[breathes deeply]
[gentle music playing]
[gentle music continues]
- [Simon] Hi. - [Dino] Hi there.
- [Dino] Hi. - Hi, Dino.
- Okay. Don't stay out too late. - Okay.
- I love you. - I love you, mom.
- [Veronika] Drive carefully. - [Dino] Always.
- I want a motorcycle too when I grow up. - No.
- You can't ever grow up. - Oh, yes I can!
Okay.
[leader] I'll start as usual and ask if anyone has something they want to share?
And it is completely voluntary, of course.
How about you, Veronika?
- No, it's fine. - [leader] Okay.
Anyone else?
[woman] I have booked a train trip...
I'm not that comfortable talking in group settings.
I get that.
If it would feel easier to talk over a coffee sometime...
then I'm here.
[gentle uplifting music playing]
