"What has Dr. Holmberg prescribed besides bloodletting and leeches?" "Cupping." "Three courses of the same." "Dr Holmberg's been our doctor for a long time." "I follow his instructions." "Freund's still missing, no one knows where he is." "Haven't you anything stronger than water?" "What do you want me for?" "What have I done?" "I heard the driver came back." "Yes, he came to report in." "And Freund?" "Sit down." "Where is Freund?" "Chief Constable's carriage was assaulted, the robbers vanished with Freund." "Where is the coachman?" "He's been interrogated." "Be seated." "I demand to question him!" "Sit down." "Where did the attack happen?" "North of Rotebro." "Attack was carried out by two armed individuals." "Only two?" "Yes." "Who'd attack the Chief Constable's carriage with only two people?" "I had the same thought." "According to the driver, a woman was one of the perpetrators." "He was dazed at the interrogation." "Dåådh!" "Dåådh!" "I'm the deputy Chief Constable!" "Are you ready?" "May I see?" "Rosina, what a beautiful job." "Customs Inspector Lejon will be happy." "I sat up all night." "I'll show you something." "Our next job." "What a fine cloth." "I bought it from a chandler who got it from China." "He came himself here with the fabric." "Poseidon ..." "You must be careful?" "Don't I have the same right to deal in goods from China as the rich?" "I was right on my side, and the law, I must say." "What are you doing here?" "He need's fresh air." "Dr Holmberg said nothing about it." "If we don't get the fever down there's a risk he didn't survive the night." "Grind this as fine as pepper." "What is this?" "China bark." "And a bottle of red wine." "And Freund?" "The attack wasn't to get the carriage or Freund." "It wasn't Freund they were after, it was me." "Give him a quarter measure of powder blended in the wine, every two hours." "Throughout the whole night." "Why don't you arrest them?" "Their house was abandoned." "They've already had time to escape." "Magdalena ..." "Carl-Fredrik." "Wait here." "Go nowhere." "Thank you for insisting." "I was going to ask if you have more ..." "China Bark?" "Precisely." "It's finished." "What is the bark?" "It is from the cinchona tree." "In the war I met a surgeon with it from one of his long journeys." "Very effective against fever." "For Mr Dåådh." "Where did you get this from?" "An old man." "From whom did you get this?" "What did he look like?" "Answer!" "What are you doing?" "What is it?" "They have Freund." "Look around you." "Do you see him?" "What did he look like?" "He had a mark on his hand." "What kind of mark?" "A fork." "Where?" "On the hand." "Where on the hand?" "Here?" "Good." "What will you do?" "Go there." "Alone?" "That's what they want." "Are you going to get butter tubs?" "Calm." "Nordin." "The Chief Constable is on his feet." "Yes, I've heard." "Thank you." "Johanna, draw me a bath." "Yes, yes ... new wig." "What have you there?" "The Weekly Report." "Where is everyone?" "Are children with Freund?" "Something serious has happened to Freund." "You're up!" "There you are." "Sit down, don't tire yourself like that now." "Nordin was saying something about Freund." "Haven't you heard it." "Freund's been kidnapped." "And the Chief Constable's carriage." "Pardon?" "Dåådh, where is he?" "He's gone to get Freund." "Dåådh received a message about Freund." "From whom?" "Carl August, go with Johanna to the kitchen and get a hot chocolate." "Dåådh's gone to meet those who took Freund." "Can you please explain ...?" "Where will he meet them?" "Dåådh's been asked to ride to a place, alone and unarmed." "He did." "Then they can take him!" "If he doesn't follow their instructions Freund's and his life may be in danger." "Who are they anyway!" "Enough now!" "We all wish Dåådh well." " Not true, Nordin?" "Of course." "I'm sorry you had to wait in the cold." "Where's Freund?" "Your journey's over now." "I came here unarmed, as you said." "Do you realize that?" "What do you want?" "Your life, in exchange for Freund's." "You killed my brother." "We have money, men, weapons." "Enough to fight for the freedom of the realm, Erik dreamed about." "Another kingdom." "Turn around." "Let me know Freund's alive." "Turn around." "Fire!" "Mauritz." "Returned from overseas." "You must have a lot to tell." "It makes me happy, my dear brother, but first about my case." "I was installed as Grand Master of the Freemasons" "Some time ago a lodge was named after my late spouse." "At our last meeting we decided to ask you to join the Masons." "I'm overwhelmed and beside myself with pride." "I agree with incomparable joy." "A gift from my travels in China, as a remembrance of this event." "There is too much." "I don't know how to ..." "don't become over-excited." "I am very fond of the package." ""Mon Frere ..." "Elegance!"" "A successful hunt, I see." "Yes, we caught one dead and one alive." "And Freund?" "We found no trace of him." "The carriage was found in any case." "It was going really badly." "Let me go, if you want to see Freund again." "He probably won't survive for long." "The driver let you go." "The driver is a simple man." "You were after me, not Freund." "It was wrong to let Nordin ambush us." "I told Nordin nothing." "No?" "You have many lives on your conscience." "First, my brother, now Pontus and soon Freund." "How do I know Freund is alive?" "You must believe, you have no choice." "No Freund, I understand." "No." "Do what you can to find him." "Where is Freund?" "I've said as it is now, you won't see him alive." "We'll get you out." "Say it." "Say it!" "He was found in the well." "Do you know who he is?" "Cooper Poseidon." "Poseidon Blomberg." "Cooper?" "Why all the silk around a single cooper?" "Is that him?" "Is that the fork?" "Take him to the morgue." "Ouch!" "Dåådh obediently rides out to you When you invite him." "Why?" "He allows you to set conditions." "How well do you two get on together?" "Who are you?" "Please, don't shoot!" "Where is Freund?" "I know no Freund." "My husband died in the war." "He never saw her." "When did you last see your brother?" "A few days ago." "I made a silk vest that customs inspector Lejon ordered." "This?" "Yes." "You are a seamstress?" "Yes, and Poseidon was with silk." "Where did he get it from?" "He bought it from the crew." "Now everything is stolen." "How can I support myself?" "Poseidon was involved in the abduction of my friend Freund." "How was it?" "I don't know." "Some time ago I saw him with some strangers." "I surprised him with two others, a man and a woman." "They seemed bothered when I entered." "Who do you think killed your brother?" "Someone threatened him." "Storeowners who thought he was competition." "What is this?" "His correspondence." "Poseidon was critical of the monarchy." "I was going to burn it." "This, what is it?" "We sewed them into the clothes we sell." "Our customers say never where they bought the clothes." "I recognize this." "That lake, I've been there." ""Cave au nord."" "I don't understand French." " "Cellar of the north."" "Freund!" "Freund." "Freund!" "Freund!" "Forgive me." "Forgive me." "Freund ..." "We will celebrate my recovery" "Freund's return and my entry into the Masonic lodge." "I've been informed." "Then we'll see you this evening." "I think I've found a motive for the murder of cooper." "He was wrapped in precious silk." "Who would sacrifice such a fabric?" "Someone who didn't know its value." "Or the opposite." "Someone who knows exactly what the fabric is worth and wants to make an example." "Well?" "I've researched it." "Poseidon traveled with the ship Terra Nova to Macao six years ago." "I went through the crew list ..." "Dåådh!" "But it raises questions." "Not for me. "Désolé."" "One question ..." "Is this a sufficiently stylish wig for a Freemason?" "More than enough." "You have my approval to continue your investigations." "Good-bye." "I haven't seen Dåådh in a long time." "He's with his friend, at home." "Freund?" "Yes." "He was found yesterday." "Get Nordin." "Didn't you hear?" "Get Nordin!" "Freund, I must go again soon." "Where are you going?" "To Wåhlstedt." "To dine." "He wants to celebrate his recovery." "Cargo Superintendant Christenson of the East India Company will be there." "I think he's involved in the murder of the cooper." "You look a little better." "I feel tired." "Back pain." "I feel sick in the chest." "Swollen feet, toothache." "Dizziness." "Light headed." "Dåådh, I want to thank you and God in his heaven because you saved me." "No, Rosina Blomberg saved you." "She lives on Gaffelgränd." "Without her map, you'd never have survived." "Which map?" "A long history." "Looking for something?" "Thank you." "Dåådh." "I'm freezing." "Can I go now?" "Thank you." "Dåådh." "Have fun." "The one I mainly want to thank is my district commissar his exotic concoctions managed to postpone my meeting with my maker." "Cheers and thanks." "I want to thank Mauritz Christenson, Cargo Superintendant of the East India Company" "And his two adorable daughters" "Because you have honoured us with your visit." "I want to welcome you home after yet another successful trip." "Thank you very much." "Mauritz traded successfully in China, especially for silk." "Tell me, Superintendant Christenson, do you know a person named Poseidon?" "Poseidon Blomberg?" "No, should I?" "He was a cooper in the East Indiaman Terra Nova 1784-1786." "He also dealt in silk, but a very small scale." "You also sailed on the Terra Nova, didn't you?" "Yes, as second Cargo Superintendant." "Yes, that's right." "The Cargo Superintendant represents the cargo owners, however, that's not a name you know." "No, unfortunately." "All right." "Then we got a straight answer about it." "Johanna, more jam, confectionery." "You attended a ship's court" "Where Poseidon was sentenced to 30 strokes of bamboo, after a complaint by you." "Dåådh!" "Poseidon complained the crew got too small a quota of their own goods." "This isn't something that ...?" "No, you don't know all the men." "Well, dear friends, it's finally time for dancing." "Good." "Wonderful." ", Bravo!" "Martha Raxelius told Nordin you cared for her brother Erik." "And you also were best friends." "Is it true?" "You cared for a revolutionary in commissar's quarters." "I saw it as my duty to save his life." "Your duty is to fight insurgents." "I do." "Erik died of a gunshot from my own weapon." "Are you on the right side, Dåådh?" "Yes." "That's all I need to know right now." "Martha Raxelius will be taken to Smedjegård prison." "I've had enough of those siblings." "We will return to the salon." "No more politics, please." "Christenson is connected to the murder." "What do you say?" "He's lying." "What a terrible indictment!" "Poseidon competed with him." "Would Christenson have slain the cooper?" "He probably hired someone to carry out the murder." "You've lost your mind." "Would a gentleman be behind such a thing?" "A friend of mine, a good hearted man ..." "Where did you got the vest from?" "From Christenson." "Brought back from China himself." "Can I take a closer look at it?" "If I'm wrong I drop all my suspicions." "You and your fabrications, Dåådh." ""Voila!"" "What the hell are you doing?" "!" "Neptune, the Roman god of the sea." "Nordin, what is the Greek name for Neptune?" "Poseidon." "The vest is from Poseidon's workshop." "I don't think your friend went up there." "What do you think yourself?" "Nordin, would you please leave us a moment?" "We may have to question him." "No!" "I have already paid a hundred kronors- as a reception gift for admission to his Masonic Lodge." "No interrogation." "I see only one possible way out, Dåådh." "You leave Christenson in peace" "And I decline to investigate the very serious allegations against you" "In terms of your dealings with the infamous Raxelius siblings." "I interpret your silence as we have an agreement." "I thought it shone out here." "Well?" "Did you have a pleasant evening?" "Martha Raxelius told the truth about my friendship with Erik to Nordin." "And Wåhlstedt asked if he can rest assured I stand on the correct side" "I said yes." "I can't come closer to a lie ." "I must resign." "I've decided as district commissar" "I can't work for the chief constable" "And appear as a liar to myself." "Me, then?" " I haven't said anything at all." "Freund, come with me." "I'm staying." "Can I get you to change?" "No." "Your husband won't examine Poseidon's death, so I have to leave here." "A guilty man will go free, and Poseidon's sister is forced to hide " "Just because she is related to a revolutionary." "Those who have power get justice." "Think about this again." "No." "I'm prevented from doing my police work." "I can't bear this." "Where are you going?" "I don't know yet." "I may return to the sea and apply for a position as ship's doctor." "I understand you." "I understand you, and I wish you good luck in whatever you undertake." "I didn't shoot Erik." "And I've never changed sides." "Not in my own opinion." "Please help me." "Jerk." "Jerk!" "I've been told you intend to terminate your service." "Boring." "Very boring." "Damn!" "Children, be careful with Freund." "We plan to dispel Dåådh's thoughts before his departure." "Will you eat dinner with us tonight?" "I'll follow Dåådh to the inn." "His stagecoach leaves early tomorrow morning." "Then you'll have time for each other, only Dåådh and you." "You may greet him for me." "He associated with revolutionaries." "We found incriminating documents" "Sewn into the lining of Poseidon Blomberg's coat." "Doesn't he have a sister?" "Yes, Rosina." "A woman of loose morals with a fatherless child." "Can she have dealings with the movement?" "Pick her up, but wait for darkness to break in." "We don't want to create unrest." "She may have supporters who are suspicious." "Freund." "Freund!" "I need your help." "Notify me before we start eating." "Hope to see you again." "With God's help." "Take care of Madame." "I'll never forget you." "My dear, shall we sit?" "A storm's blowing up." "We'll let Axel use more for the stoves." "How was your day?" "Quiet." "Johanna and I baked." "I'll take white wine this evening." "And you?" "Yes." "Did you receive an invitation?" "Yes." "It's from my dear cousin, Désirée." "She'd like me will pay a visit this evening." "It's a matter of urgency." "It's probably best I go." "In this weather, is it wise?" "It's only an hour's journey." "She recently married, and may already have love troubles." "Extend my greetings." "That I will." "Magdalena ..." "Yes?" "Take care of yourself." "My cousin named Désirée, and her husband Carl." "They await you." "Rosina, they'll help you to safer circumstances." "How can I ever thank you?" "Hurry." "Mrs. Wåhlstedt?" "Freund said you'd be here." "It wouldn't have succeeded without him, he knew where she lived." "Rosina." "I just saved Rosina and her small child from Nordin." "It was cold." "Can I ...?" "Of course." "Have some." "When I saw Rosina and her Little children run out into the field" "I got a strong image" "it might as well be me and my daughter who ran there." "I realized everyone is born equal." "Then, it's just fate that divides us." "I must return." "If I go away now I'll home by dawn." "Magdalena ..." "When you read this I am already on the way back." "All material between us, said, or not." "I'm not going to try to persuade you." "Maybe you're right that you go into healing." "Perhaps the question of justice doesn't elude you now." "We are all born and we die." "What could be fairer than that?" "I live between hope and despair over an imperfect world." "Many feel as you do." "If you at some point choose to return- you won't be alone in your endeavours." "As both Freund and I have proved." "Never forget your friends in Stockholm." "Yours faithfully, Magdalena Henrietta Wåhlstedt." "year of our Lord, 1790."
