"ICE PRINCESS" "Based on a novel by Camilla Läckberg" "I'm so sorry it has to be like this here." "I know I might have been unfair to you sometimes, but ..." "I can't cope with this silence anymore." "Not at this time." "I only have you." "I want us to be friends so much, Anna." "Come, we'll warm ourselves with a little sherry." "Erica, we don't have time to stop." "Lucas has an important meeting tomorrow ..." "It's the reception after Mom and Dad's funeral!" "We have to go through everything in the house." "We want to talk to you about the house." "What has Lucas to do with the house?" "Were moving to London due to his work." "We can't have a house here too." "Are you saying we should sell the house?" "I can't talk now." "We can discuss this later by phone." "Anna ..." "If I can take two weeks leave despite my deadline   can't Lucas do without you for two days!" "You are so clever, you can handle it by yourself." "Anna ..." "Hey." "That was very nice." "Where did Anna go?" "I don't know ..." "They had to be off." "Are you going to come to the reception?" "No, we aren't dressed for it." "Need help with anything?" "No." "How long will you stay?" "I don't know." "Well ..." "It's taking more time than I thought." "I'm writing in the mean time, so ..." "Things are going well." "No, it wouldn't be the best solution." "I need the money" "And I still have to write through this period." "Yes." "Sure, we'll see." "We'll be in touch." "Bye." "Erica?" "It's Anna." "Answer, I know you are there." "Just answer." "We need to talk." "Dear Erica." "The circle is about to close." "I just want to see you." "I'm here all weekend." "Drop by." "Alex." "Hello?" "Alex?" "Hey." "Are you off duty today?" "Mellberg said you and Ernst were here." "I wanted to come here and learn something." "Did he say that?" "Holy shit." "She was only a girl." "It looks like suicide." "Well you're the inspector." "Who found her?" "Someone named Erica Falck." "What?" "She was here when I arrived." "She asked for you." "When?" "15 minutes ago." "Sorry." "Hey." "It must have been a shock after what happened to your parents." "Did you know them?" "No, but I hear everything that happens." "I have some questions but I can come back later." "No, it's okay." "Would you like a coffee?" "Yes, I would." "Thank you." "Why did you go to Alex's house?" "She asked me to come." "I found a letter in the mailbox." "Do you know when she left it?" "No." "It said she was here this weekend." "Did you know each other well?" "We were childhood friends." "We were best friends, but one day she didn't want to play with me anymore." "A month later, she moved away, but didn't say goodbye." "She just disappeared." "That was the last time I saw her." "Okay ..." "What do you mean?" "It's a little strange?" "You didn't see her again until you found her." "Do you know what she wanted?" "No." "But I have the letter." "Did you find it today?" "We believe she's been there for a week." "Maybe she was thinking of you when she heard about your parents." "Why did she kill herself?" "I don't know." "Alex?" "When did it happen, then?" "Sure, it was terrible." "Yes." "What do the police say?" "I don't know." "We'll see what happens." "You know how people talk." "Yes, yes." "Don't forget to pay Vera." "Vera, you can go now." "I'll go when I've finished." "Vera, you go when we tell you to." "Are you ..." "Erica?" "I can't stop thinking about it Maybe there was something I could have done." "I could have contacted her more often ..." "I could have visited when Henrik was away on business..." "Henrik, he's her husband?" "Yes." "They were very happy together." "It's the only thing that has any meaning:" "for your child to be happy." "Did they have children?" "Not yet." "Alex loved children." "But she had so many irons in the fire." "You know how she was." "And Julia?" "She's on her way from Umeå." "She's studying to be a teacher there." "Poor thing, she ..." "She adored her sister." "She was very sad when she heard about your parents." "Alex tried to reach you." "Did she do that?" "Did she ...?" "No, we didn't get to see ..." "Sorry." "We thought we'd come up, but ..." "Karl-Erik had so much to do  And it was such short notice." "Forgive me for asking ..." "Wasn't Alex afraid of blood when she was little?" "Isn't it strange ...?" "We shouldn't   make it harder than it already is." "Hey!" "Hi." "If she was so happily married;" "why she was always here?" "Did you meet her husband?" "No." "Not that I know, anyway." "Didn't they find a suicide note?" "Just my note." "Can I borrow your car?" "I'm going to Göteborg." "to talk with her husband?" "Yes, if you come to dinner." "The girls are asking about you." "I don't know." "Maybe." "How do I get home, then?" "It's Anna." "Don't hang up!" "We want to get the house appraised." "You can buy us out." "For a friend's price, plus 20%." "I don't have time to talk now." "Alexandra Wijkner is dead." "Dead?" "Yes." "We'll talk later." "I am the fourth generation Wijkner here." "My great-grandfather built the place." "Alex loved it." "It's really beautiful." "We moved here after the wedding." "My parents were dead;" "so it had been empty for some years." "Alexandra and I met in Paris." "She studied art history, I studied economics." "Then we moved back to Sweden, and directly she began renovating here." "She renovated just about everything." "She ..." "God, I don't understand it." "Anyway ..." "When she was done here she started her gallery." "With Francine, a colleague." "In town?" "Would you like some?" "No thanks." "I really loved her." "But she ended it." "Went her own way." "Lately I didn't get to know anything." "What do you mean?" "We weren't very close recently, to put it simply." "But she often talked about you." "She said you were her only real friend." "Her last pure friendship, she said." "The body was in good condition." "The wrist arteries were cut with the razor blade found at the scene." "The wounds are clean and deep." "They usually vary when people are left or right-handed." "We checked the fingertips for small cuts, but found nothing." "So why didn't the victim try to defend herself?" "We found the answer in her blood chemistry." "She had barbiturates in the blood." "Maybe she took a sleeping pill?" "We triple checked the degradation time." "She didn't do it herself." "When the heart stopped due to the blood loss, she was already comatosed." "This was a murder." "And Alexandra Wijkner was pregnant." "Oops!" "Can't you see I'm busy?" "They faxed a copy of the autopsy report." "Of course, I'll send it to Hedström." "Bye?" "Dammit being the boss here ..." "Yes!" "Now stuff's happening!" "Everyone in my room in three minutes." "They're already on their way." "What did you say?" "They're already on their way." "Francine?" "Erica Falck, childhood friend of ..." "Erica!" "So great to meet you." "So you're a journalist?" "Alex talked about you so much." "Didn't you wonder where she was?" "Alex did what she wanted." "She often went away without saying anything." "Have you talked with Henrik?" "I just came from there." "He never had it easy." "Sooner or later he had to learn she met someone in Fjällbacka." "She said nothing, but I knew." "For the first time in years Alex was happy." "Would she kill herself?" "Impossible." "And she left no letter behind." "Is the autopsy over?" "I don't know." "Wait a minute, I have something important to tell you." "Hello." "We want to inquire what this painting costs." "55,000 SEK." "Unfortunately, it's already sold." "If the artist interests you, we have more of his work around the corner." "He'll be a minute." "Hi, Erica." "I was going to call you." "Do you have a minute?" "Alex didn't kill herself." "She had met someone who made her happy." "And she was pregnant." "Wait." "Hello." "Hedström." "Thank you for coming." "Erica ..." "What are you doing here?" "Why don't you join us?" "No, unfortunately." "This way." "Come with me, I'll get you a coffee." "Your daughter was murdered." "She wasn't conscious when her wrists were cut." "We found barbiturates in her blood." "Somebody drugged her, put her in the bath and let her bleed to death" "Maybe even watched." "Some people think it's exciting." "Did you want to add something?" "No." "Why would anyone do that?" "We don't know." "Do you have any suspects?" "Not yet." "Can you describe where you were and what you were doing when Alexandra died?" "I mean especially you." "When was that?" "She lay there for a week." "She died sometime before nine o'clock on Friday evening." "At six, she phoned Lars Telander to report the boiler was broken." "Maybe you knew." "We talked at seven." "She didn't say anything." "Telander knocked at nine o'clock;" "but no one answered." "She can't have forgotten the repairman." "It was very cold that night." "I called at 9:30, but no one answered." "I thought she was out walking." "When did you talk to her?" "At seven o'clock." "Quarter past, perhaps." "It was only briefly." "She had a visitor." "Could it have been ...?" "Not impossible." "Give your comments to Hedström." "I want to talk to you in private." "No stone will be left unturned." "Given my experience it won't take long." "It is tragic, given the child." "The child?" "What child?" "She was three months pregnant." "You were going to have a child?" "Why didn't you say anything?" "Does the boss want me to sit in?" "It isn't necessary." " Gösta!" "Yes?" "Anders, listen now." "I heard something I want you to know too." "Anders?" "What do you want, mother?" "Alex was murdered." "Did you hear what I said, Anders?" "Yes ..." "What did you say?" "Alex was murdered." "That's what they say in the village." "Anders, I want ..." "Does Francine know who Alex had meet?" "In 90% of cases it's someone you know." "You don't think it's Henrik?" "I don't think anything." "Are you listening to me?" "Have you found her diary?" "No." "No diary, no letters ..." "Nothing that tells us who she may have met." "We'll continue looking." "You are ..." "You first." "No, you." "You're working on a new book." "You're a star down here now." "I've read some of your books ..." "Or, I've read them all." "Frankly, I've slowed down a bit now." "That isn't surprising after ..." "How's Karin?" "Fine, think I." "How should I interpret that?" "We had a tough patch." "We thought we'd fix it by going out dancing." "The third time I went out to check on the taxi." "When I came back she was gone." "She'd taken off with the band." "So she's now married to the lead singer of The Claessons." "Oh!" "So glad you came." "We'll contact you." "Bye." "Bye." "She seems nice." "Ask her out." "Yeah, maybe, maybe not." "But don't tell her about Karin." "Oh no." "It's Lorentz." "We need to talk." "I'm not alone." "Who has the most to lose?" "Jan!" "Jan!" "Erica, now enough is enough." "Pick up the phone!" "It's so damn unfair." "I'm trying to sort out the situation ..." "Jan Lorentz here." "Someone scrawled paint on our house." "It needs to be washed off." "Are you okay?" "Frankly ... she makes me still feel betrayed." "Isn't it strange?" "No." "She had that effect on people." "Julia isn't at all like Alex." "There was no love loss between them." "Alex got the looks, Julia the attention." "They weren't close." "What do you think, then?" "We should get donuts too." "Like on TV." "Who is that?" "Lorentz' widow who owns the factory." "The mother of Nils Lorentz who disappeared?" "Yes." "Some say he committed suicide;" "others say he took off abroad." "But she lives here alone?" "She's adopted a kid, Jan." "He lives at home with mama." "Who is she?" "Nelly Lorentz." "Strange for her to be here." "Très elegante." "Erica Falck." "My deepest condolences." "I knew your parents." "Since you are here you must tell me everything about your next book." "Tomorrow, does that suit you?" "Absolutely." "At three o'clock." "You have many admirers." "The painting at the gallery ..." "Large canvas, warm colors." "Who did it?" "Anders Nilsson, from Fjällbacka." "Alex discovered him." "We sell everything he does." "He drinks Unfortunately, too much." "It'll be his death." "Only after he becomes really interesting." "It was all I found." "You asked about the Lorentz family?" "You didn't come." "I had a lot to do." "When you have children you can't take time off just because someone dies." "I didn't know her so well either." "Wasn't Nelly there too?" "We talked as I was coming out." "She seemed to know Julia." "Everybody had a summer job at the factory." "Mom?" "Can you come and watch while I stand on my head?" "Honey ..." "I'm cooking." "I'll come out and watch later." "Then I'll go off." "Fine." "The boat is more important, right?" "Of course." "Call if there's anything." "Sure." "Yes ..." "Oh, you're good." "Goodbye, girls." "Goodbye, girls." "We need to talk." "Do you need the car?" "I was in Alex's house." "Don't go there, it's illegal!" "Yes, but I found Alex's diary." "There was a clipping about Nils Lorentz." "It may be important." "Go to the police then." "I'm leaving now." "Hey, Hedström." "What are you reading?" "Anything interesting, no?" "Have you found anything, or have you just started?" "If people knew how many levels we police officers work on." "Everything from knocking on doors to sitting and reading old clippings." "It's fascinating." "There was something I wanted to say, but I can't remember what it was." "Well ..." "That's it!" "While you were reading, I found Alexandra Wijkner's killer." "He was arrested about three minutes ago." "Hey." "Vera." "There's a lot of police cars outside." "What should I do, Mama?" "Stay there." "Don't do anything." "I'll come." "Anders!" "Anders!" "Wait!" "Stop." "Stop or be taken in." "Stop!" "That's my son!" "He's going to jail." "What has he done?" "You can come to the police station." "Stop!" " Drive!" "No!" "Come see, Lena." "Is he an artist?" "I guess so." "I'm a bit early." "It does not matter." "It is terrible about Alexandra Carlgren." "She was murdered." "You can't feel safe anywhere now." "Here you are." "Do you know the Carlgren's?" "Karl-Erik used to work for us." "I know what it means to lose a child." "I'd like to support them." "Julia was born after they lived here." "That's true enough." "But you have to give whatever support you can." "You have to stick together in hard times." "I thought I just saw Julia." "Attorney Sekrén was here with his secretary." "She and Julia are very similar." "I recommend him for the inventory." "He lives in the neighbourhood and has reasonable prices." "It's been a difficult time for many of us." "Not the least for you." "Jan?" "Jan!" "You have to do everything yourself." "Hello." "Erica Falck!" "You must be ..." "Jan Lorentz." "Hello." "What a pleasure!" "So mom has got you here." "It was what she wanted since your first book came out." "I'm sorry to hear about your parents, and your friend." "My childhood friend." "Did you know her?" "No, I can't say so." "Sorry." "You are home." "Yes." "Can you sign here, Mom?" "So." "Then I won't bother the ladies any longer." "It was really nice to meet you." "Jan manages the factory now a days." "And anything else he can do to help." "Previously, Vera the housekeeper was here." "But Jan doesn't like to have strangers in the house." "Now she cleans here once a week." "A taste of the economic climate!" "Vera, isn't she Anders Nilsson's mother?" "The idea of attracting more and more." "You just hope you don't become so senile you think you are twenty again." "What are you writing right now?" "Did you find something?" "Bills, frozen food wrapper ..." "And at least 5,000 SEK worth of bottles." "I'll go and talk to the witnesses." "Have a good time." "It was Friday 25 January, shortly before 18:30." "How are you so sure of the time and date?" "It was my birthday." "My son and his family went just before the news break." "I heard a noise and looked out." "And saw Anders Nilsson?" "He was drunk, banging and screaming." "Are you sure?" "It was dark." "I'm not an old gaga bitch?" "You can't be mistaken about him." "What was he doing with such a nice girl like Alexandra?" "I knew her." "She often came here with the Tore girl ..." "Erica." "That's right." "Now take a cake!" "Did anything else happen after he left?" "Not that night, but he came here several times the following week." "It was strange." "She was dead then." "No, but ..." "You have to drink up." "Excuse me." "The police, Patrik Hedström." "What the hell are you saying?" "I will." " I have to go, unfortunately." "Wait, I'll pack up some little cakes in a bag." "I know it was stupid!" "You broke into Alex's house." "We're investigating a murder!" "Sorry!" "Here is her diary." "It contains an article about Nils Lorentz." "It may be a coincidence." "We have arrested a suspect." "Witnesses saw him banging on Alex's door, and going in and out of the house." "Who?" "I can't tell." "But if it's the killer you've made a bloody mistake." "Perhaps you won't next time." "Promise to stop doing this stuff." "I promise." "Scout's Honour?" "Then you have to ask Anna." "I was a Sea Scout." "Count on it?" "Shall we talk a little bit, Anders?" "It doesn't look so good for you." "I haven't done anything." "You killed Alexandra Wijkner." "You gave her sleeping pills, cut her wrists and watched her bleed to death." "God damn it!" "You'll admit it, even if we have to sit here all damn day." "Your fingerprints are on the dead body;" "footprints on the floor." "A witness claims you were in the house." "We've found pictures you painted." "Given the subject, it looks like you had a relationship." "We've found your pathetic love letters." "You fucking pig!" "Sit down, or you'll end up in the cell!" "I loved her." "You had a relationship." "Sometimes." "She wasn't here that often." "What happened before she died?" "What did you quarrel about?" "Did she have others?" "She was so beautiful ..." "You didn't know if the baby was yours!" "When did you decide to ..." "She was not pregnant." "Well, the autopsy found she was." "Tell him he's lying." "We'll take a break." "Then you can reconsider." "I want the whole damn confession." "Hell, I didn't turn it on." "Who's the boss here, you or me." "I was so close to a confession." "When I solve the case, Göteborg will plead on their knees to get me back." "Then I won't have to work with wimps like you." "Hello?" "Are you going to invite me in or will we just stand here?" "I regret not doing this with Alex." "She got what she deserved." "You probably agree." "Maybe, maybe not ..." "The truth will come out." "So everyone has to carry on as usual." "There is no reason to do without." "A little bit to supplement your finances." "I regret what's happened to Anders." "But I've also lost a son." "Maybe he'll come back." "Anders is still there." "It might be for the best." "There's no alcohol in prison." "Get out." "What did you say?" "Get out of my house!" "Anders won't stay in jail!" "Take your shoddy money and piss off, damn bitch!" "I know where you come from." "You use perfume, but you still smell like shit." "Then you don't need to come tomorrow." "Your cleaning services are no longer needed." "Good you've come." "We have a technical problem." "A witness claims Anders Nilsson got home just before seven on Friday." "So he has an alibi?" "Go over and press her hard." "So she'll change her testimony?" "Sometimes you can be very, very tiring, do you know that?" "I know he killed Alexandra." "I feel it in my whole damn body." "I just want her to be remembered correctly." "I want to know the whole truth." "Sure." "I'll go there." "Good." "How can you be so sure of the time?" "I wanted to watch "Paradise"." "I heard a noise, so I checked the peek hole." "It was him." "Completely drunk." "Then "Paradise" started at seven." "He may have gone out again?" "That's what I heard in any case." "Well." "What did you think when you heard he was suspected of murder?" "He is a drunkard, but he is kind." "She likes you." "Do you have any children?" "Hey!" "Hi." "Do you have the key to Alex's house?" "I want to check the crime scene again." "Anders Nilsson has an alibi." "Was it him you couldn't talk about?" "What is it worth?" "My silence." "If you don't tell Mellberg I'll buy you dinner tomorrow." "All right." "I'll be ready at seven." "We found a TV dinner wrapper in the trash." "The coroner said her last meal was fish and cider." "There was a meat and potato casserole in the oven." "The potatoes were still raw." "And an open bottle of white wine, missing a glass of wine." "Two glasses on the counter, washed up." "No fingerprints." "Why did she eat fish au gratin?" "She was waiting for the person to arrive." "You said something was missing." "Something used to be here." "A book, or something." "You know what this is?" "I found one like it on Anders." " No idea." "Dan Karlsson." "Tanumshede Police Station." "Check the broadcast time, Sweden vs Canada on TV4" "on the day Alex was murdered." "Okay, wait a minute." "You are right." "It was TV4." "On the next day there was the regular program schedule." "There goes Anders' alibi." "She got the day wrong." "I heard they had to let you go!"
