"BITTER FLOWERS" "Based on the novel by Gunnar StaaIesen" "Fuck..." "Shit!" "Varg Veum here." "Hi." "It's you." "No, you're not interrupting." "AII the way out there?" "No, that's fine." "Hi." "I'm here to see Mr Hamre." "Okay." "Open your ears wide and listen." "We have nothing new." "The girl's been missing for four days." "The rest you'II simply have to make up." "Save your breath, the press won't listen." "AII they see is a politician." " Not a mother who's lost a child..." " AII right." "What's the Iast update?" " You can go through." " Thanks." "could I get some soup?" "None of the neighbours." "No one has seen anything." "She's been taken far off." "Not much more we can do here then." " You know Isaksen?" " only from reputation." "hello." "What's your approach?" "Kidnapped because her mother's a politician, she got lost - or she ran away?" "Take a seat." "You had a case when you were in child welfare." "KjetiI VestIi, a paedophile." "tell me about him." "I only know what's in the news." "He grew up here, that's why I'm asking." " Aren't welfare files confidential?" " Not always." "We have everything but the file on VestIi." "Do you have it?" "Who, me?" "You didn't happen to take some papers with you when you quit?" "It's the way things go." "Things get lost, people overlooked." " You don't say." " Did you question the family?" " The family is not behind this." " In most cases, it's the family." "I start regretting I asked you to come." "I got you out here because you worked in child welfare." "The investigation we can handle ourselves." "You made me come all this way just to ask about some old child welfare files?" "You know how we operate." " We have a job to do." " You don't have to do it like a cop." " What?" " You don't have to do it like a cop." "My, my." "Criticizing the cops..." "Tough to take from you!" "You lost that job because you beat up a drug dealer?" "That's right." "The only thing they understand." "Eye to an eye." "For." "Eye foran eye." "I'II borrow this." "We can't openly contradict our own programme." "I've cancelled all appointments this week." " Any news about camilla?" " No." "It's the County council." "Can you take it?" "Vibeke Farangs telephone, how may I help?" "She cannot come to the phone." "There's been an accident." "We'II issue a press release later today." "Thanks." "Sorry to trouble you now, but we need you to sign this." "Where is it?" " Right here." " Your job's going well?" "I'm out searching for camilla." "Hamre!" "Can you take constructive criticism?" " What kind, did you say?" " Four days, and you've found nothing!" "We've checked everywhere and interpol is onto the case." "You need a new approach!" "Can't I give you some ideas?" " We work from facts." " You're fumbling!" "We have compass..." " You know I can deliver!" " InfideIity cases is your domain!" "Isaksen!" "Show Veum to the door, will you." "It's all right." "hello there!" "What can I do for you?" " You know who I am?" " Vibeke Farang." "Mother to camilla and party leader." "What do you want?" "I noticed you outside our house." "Do you work for the police?" "No, I'm independent." "I'II help you with your daughter." "A friend of mine..." "I want you to find him." "Karsten AsIaksen." "He works at NorrIon, the PVC plant at HiIIeren." "Okay..." "Bård, my husband, is away a Iot, and Karsten..." " He visits me..." " You don't know where your lover is?" "That's right." "ShouIdn't you rather focus on your daughter?" "You want me to find AsIaksen and make him get in touch." "Karsten was at my house the night camilla disappeared." "And now you're afraid that his silence in some way is related to her disappearance?" "I'm actually trying to find camilla." " Did you tell this to the police?" " No." "When did he leave your house that night?" "Sometime around midnight." " He took my car." " Why so?" "He came by taxi and walked the Iast bit." "I also ask him not to call taxis from my address." " So he borrows my car." " Where is it now?" "It was returned the next morning." "I can see you're a pro." "You understand why I want to be discreet?" "hello, Line." "Give this to my dad." "This man over there, he was asking for Karsten." " Can I help you?" " I'm looking for Karsten AsIaksen." "Yes, I know him." "What is it about?" "I'm Varg Veum." "His next of kin asked me to find him." "Trygve Schrøder olsen." " How do you know him?" " I'm a private investigator." " A detective!" " Hang on!" " What's this?" " A detective looking for Karsten." " Has something happened to him?" " I'm just trying to locate him." "I'II deal with this." "You can open the meeting." "hello." "Odin Schrøder olsen." "Varg Veum." "please..." "So, right..." "We've not seen Karsten for a few days." "Nothing unusual." "He has a radical definition of working hours." "He works very hard." "Then he conks out." "Did you try his mobile?" " No reply." " That's not so unusual." "When was he here last?" "Perhaps a week ago." "How about your plant..." "Perhaps he's there?" "normally, yes." "But not now." " Are you sure?" " Yes, I'm quite sure." "Right..." "Now, if you'II excuse me, I have an important meeting." "Anyone home...?" "Karsten?" "Hi, pelle." "I have a card number here." "could you check where it was used last?" "Kvamskogen Cabin rental?" "Ok, thanks." "hello..." "hello there..." "AsIaksen?" "Karsten!" "Karsten?" "Damn it..." " What was his name again?" " Karsten AsIaksen." "Did he..." " Come on, talk to me." " I pulled him out to give him air." " You did hold your breath, I hope." " Why smash in all the windows?" " This a crime scene." " Ask your boss." "He felt a funny smell and got nervous." "He actually has a point." " Hope you don't like the guy." " The body is moved and glass broken." " It does kind of complicate things." " Gee, I'm really sorry!" "Hydrocyanide." "Count yourself lucky." "It's a terrible way to die." "But the site is cleared, we can go in." "And where are you going?" "Won't you let me go in?" "I found the body!" "Are you working here, or did you just happen to stop by?" "Is AsIaksen all of a sudden a good friend of yours?" "AsIaksen's employer hired me." "NorrIon, a PVC plant." "Hi." "Come on, Iet me in." "I risked my neck in there!" "Good morning, it's NorrIon." "Ok, thanks." "NorrIon did not hire you." "And you've paid them a visit, too." "could you please tell me why you are here?" " Car keys, please." " Are you serious?" "Hamre..." "Cut it out." "You know you can't question me." "Your car was parked on a site where we found a dead body." "So how am I supposed to get home?" "You know we could do this quite differently." " Give me a reason for helping you." " It's solved." "He did it himself." " You don't believe that!" " He had a PhD in chemistry." "Hamre, you know what?" "One day I'II surprise you." "And hand you the solution on a silver platter." " They pay you well, huh?" " well enough." " Enjoy the walk..." " Thank you." "I want to report a car theft." "Yes, my own car." "Right in front of me, coming down from Kvamskogen." "Who found the body?" "This private investigator guy." " Do we have any of those in Bergen?" " apparently we do." "Did the police say anything more?" "No." "The police seems to think it was suicide." "I really don't know." "But as this happens just after camilla..." "You realize of course that it rises new questions?" "Just tell me everything you remember from that night." "She was asleep." "She had kicked the covers off, she always gets so hot..." "I tucked her back in, set the window ajar..." " You don't think anyone entered...?" " probably not." "Karsten arrived as I checked on the kids." "They were both asleep." "I followed him out when he left..." "Around midnight." "I saw him drive off." "I went back in to check on the kids again." "And then camilla was gone." "Oh, Bård, hi..." "What is it?" "Has something happened?" " Nothing new?" " No." " Varg Veum." "He's assisting the police." " I came to see about your son Henrik." "I'm a social worker." "Wanted to see how he's coping." "Great." "hello." "Hi, buddy." "Are you going for a spin?" "Can I come along?" "Great!" " Going far?" " Kind of." "Hi." " My name is Varg." " Hi." "And you're Henrik, right?" " Do you go driving often, then?" " Yeah." " Do you let camilla drive also?" " No!" "girls can't drive, you know." "only boys can drive, right?" "So she sits here, in this seat?" "Or she lies in the back." "But then she always fails asleep." "Do you miss your sister?" "Henrik!" "Henrik!" "Vibeke!" "He's in here!" "Henrik..." "What were you thinking?" " Never go out without telling me!" " But I did." "Did you?" "I'm sorry..." "Go in before you catch a cold." " Vibeke..." " What?" "Didn't you say that Karsten borrowed the car?" "What if camilla was in the back, and fell asleep?" "Oh no..." "They look good on you." "So, is there anything you'd Iike to tell me?" "AsIaksen may be involved in camilla Farang's disappearance." " A bit far-fetched?" " Perhaps." "But have a good look around." "The post-mortem showed he was all rotten inside." "From abusing various substances." "He had only three months left." "But still, it was murder." "Why exactly are you here?" "This is a murder case and you're holding back relevant information." "Hey!" "Is it so bloody difficult to open your mouth?" "Easy, easy now..." "I couId take you downstairs and knock it out of you." "Then really you would amaze me." "Yeah..." "That makes two of us." " Why do you think it's murder, then?" " I couldn't be bothered to tell you." "Try again." "You just turn it that way." "That's it, Johan Fredrik!" " I couldn't stop him." " HaraId Schrøder olsen!" " Great place this." " Johan Fredrik, listen..." "follow Stine back up, will you." "We can continue later." "will granddad let me fish later?" "My name is Veum." "I'm a private investigator." "What can you tell me about Karsten AsIaksen?" "Karsten, poor lad..." "I hired him." "He was a close friend of my sons, Odin and Trygve." "His mother died young." "An alcoholic." "But he managed well." "He was the survivor type." " Up until now." " But things were going downhill." "He was restless, could never settle." "Hanging out with shady characters." "UnfaithfuI women, rejected husbands, prostitutes, drug dealers..." " And what not!" " Anyone in particular?" "I don't know these kind of people." "still, you seem well informed." "You know, Veum..." "I'm a good observer of people." "Many underestimate me." "I think you understand what I mean." "Can you see any reason for him being killed liked that?" " I thought it was suicide." " Who knows..." "If anyone told me Karsten took his own life in this way I would've believed it." "Chemists know how to handle substances." " I just can't see any motive." " Haven't you talked to Bård?" "The guy who was on the news and had lost his little girl." " You mean Bård Farang?" " Right, that's him." " AsIaksen and Farang knew each other?" " They were close friends." "Went to school together, travelled the world, and now worked at the plant." "If anyone knows who kept a grudge against Karsten, then it's Bård." "camilla!" "hello." "still no trace of her?" " You may help, if you Iike." " Did you hear Karsten has been killed?" "I can't deal with that right now." "I have other things on my mind." "You don't seem very upset." "What are you trying to say?" "The same thing the police will ask when they find out what I know." "Are you of a jealous nature, Bård?" "You think I kill people just because my wife cheated on me?" " That's what you think." " I only asked if you were jealous." "So you suspected that your wife was cheating on you?" "You prying bastard!" "I'm trying to find my daughter." "Hi!" "We're making buns." "camilla loved that!" "Can I have a word with you, in private?" " I'II go." " No, stay." "You know everything." "I can't keep your relationship secret anymore." "I have to tell the police." "What?" "!" "We had a deal, Varg." "Why didn't you tell me Karsten and Bård were friends?" " That's no secret." " Bård knew about you and Karsten." " A classic motive." " Bård would never..." "If camilla disappeared in the vicinity of Karsten's house then the police has to be informed." "I'm sorry." "In Bergen, another tragedy has hit Vibeke Farang, the party leader." "Her husband Bård Farang was today arrested on suspicion of the murder of his friend and colleague, Karsten AsIaksen." "According to the police the motive for the murder was probably jealousy." "Vibeke Farang did not wish to make any statement." "NO TRACE OF 7 YEAR OLD CAMILLA" " Has Bård Farang confessed?" " You know I can't answer that." " Then he hasn't." " Take the car before I change my mind." "A renault Spider!" "Is it your's?" " It belonged to Karsten AsIaksen." " AsIaksen?" " He had a Defender up at the cabin." " I guess he had several cars." "See you later then, Varg." "Odin..." "close the door, will you." "I've..." "I've changed my mind I prefer Trygve as general Manager." "What?" " congratulations." " Thank you." "gentlemen..." "A very special person is not amongst us today." "Karsten AsIaksen was a highly regarded..." "Hi." "Odin..." "DonaIdson we'II be here soon." "ShouIdn't you attend the meeting?" "You know how important this deal is." " Yes, I..." " Excuse me." "There's a visitor here for you." "A Varg Veum." " hello..." " I don't have the time." "Hi." "Odin Schrøder olsen doesn't have the time to see you." " I can see that." " Can I help you?" " Perhaps you could..." " Anna KeiIhaug." " Chief legal Adviser." " Wow." "Anna KeiIhaug, I have a visitor with me." " What's the purpose of the visit?" " Espionage!" "I'm going to show him around." "In these we have ammonia, and over there chloride." "The new compound is then polymerized into poIymethyI methacrylate." " Right." " From which we make hydrogen acid." "From that again we make...pIexigIass." "Our most important product." "Many dangerous substances!" "Quite a plant." "Thought you had financial problems." " Who says?" " The press." "Those are just temporary problems." "The sales are picking up." "We have a five year plan for going on the stock market..." "Trygve Schrøder olsen." "And Odin, too." "Am I disturbing?" "hello." "We're actually very busy." " Get him inside, Trygve." "Did I come at a bad time?" "I'm investigating the AsIaksen murder." "could you help me?" " Did he come with you?" " He died from some substances..." " The kind of stuff you have here." " We don't have time for your games." "Get him out of here." "You failed the police Academy entry test and play bullies instead?" "What's going on?" "Never talk to him again before seeing me." " We don't know who he's working for." " Odin asked me to..." "Odin doesn't make decisions." "I do." "Anna, would you excuse us?" "Take care of DonaIdson." "Fucking hell, Trygve..." " How can you be so stupid?" " Right." "I am stupid?" " You let this detective snoop around." " He was with Anna!" "Now what will he think?" "What the hell are you thinking?" "Start yelling at me like this?" "I'm your boss, Odin." "Father appointed me." "What have you done for the company lately?" "Take a look at this." "It's a suicide note." "What of it?" "Karsten's suicide note." "He was going to tell everything." "So...?" "I..." "I couldn't let him do it." "What are you telling me?" "Odin..!" " He was one of my best friends." " Odin!" "Does father know?" "Why do you think you are manager now, and not me?" "What exactly have you done for the company lately?" "Can you handle Varg Veum?" "Fuck..." "Bastards!" " Yes, Karsten." " ...a friend of mine." "He started to hang out with shady characters." "Prostitutes and drug dealers, and what not!" "A renault Spider, is it yours?" "It belonged to Karsten AsIaksen." " Yes?" " Can I come in?" "We're closed." "Karsten AsIaksen gave you his warmest recommendation." "AsIaksen recommended a girl." "Is that..." "Birgit, will you go get Tanja?" "Right, Tanja." "That's it." "It's 800 for half an hour massage." "If you have other wishes, you sort it out with the girls." "You said 800?" " Thanks." " Thank you." " What did he want?" " He asked for Karsten's girl." " I see..." " ShouIdn't I have let him in?" "No, no." "That's fine." "I'm sending someone over." "We performed an impromptu inspection at NorrIon last week on the 12th." "In conjunction with the national pollution Authority." "And what did you find?" "Nothing." "Everything was conform to the regulations." "20 minutes..." "You had 20 minutes to get hold of this guy." "And now you don't know where he is?" "What do you get paid for?" "Go sit down." " He can't just vanish." " Of course he can." "What would you have done?" "You'd taken the hint and gone away." "Taken the hint?" "I can't live with suppositions." "I must know where he is." "He could topple our whole operation." "Hi, Anna." "No, no, come." "I found the DonaIdson contract on my desk, signed and all." "It says here he's paying 135 million, not the 1 40 that was agreed in the deal." "Yes..." "There were some delays, Anna." "So we made a price cut in order not to lose the contract." "Part of the point of my job is that I get to look at contracts before they've been signed." "I negotiated this one myself." "I didn't need your services this time." "That's your copy according to procedure." " Anything else?" " No." "AII is fine." " Oh..!" " I didn't mean to scare you." " Security!" " Give me 5 minutes." "Then you can call them back, just for show." "Right..." "An inspection was performed at the plant on the 12th, the day after camilla Farang disappeared." "Four days later AsIaksen is killed." "These events must be connected." "Is this some kind of chaos theory?" " butterflies turning into tornados?" " No, there's a direct connection." "The inspection found nothing wrong." " Yeah?" "I'd check, if I were you." " Why should I believe you?" " Something fishy is going on." " According to you." "Prove me wrong, by all means." "please prove me wrong." "Come on in!" "That wasn't 5 minutes." "hello!" "Long time no see." "Look at these classy wheels!" "Your father should've seen you now." " Have you quit rally driving, then?" " No, no." "But it's an expensive hobby." "Are these the cars I've seen out at NorrIon?" "They are our biggest customer." "Important guys, you know." "They call, and out we rush to pick up people." "mostly at hotel Norge, or the plant." "hotel Norge?" " No thanks." " Have you quit?" "Right, NorrIon..." "Who was that?" "This..." "American guy." "practically bald." "The one with all the body guards." "Gave huge tips." "He went out a bit earlier." " So he's still staying here?" " Think so." " When did he come?" " I'm not sure." "The reception tried to move him." "But he wanted to stay another week." "Made a huge fuss about it." "people with money, you know." "So he was supposed to leave, but insisted on staying another week?" "That's right." "Is that of any help?" "Kim." "I want you to do me yet another favour." "No, Varg." "I just can't." "hello?" "Kim, what did you say...?" "well, look here..!" "Isaksen, perhaps you can go and have a look at the view." " This is getting really embarrassing." " What are you referring to?" "Like why you are bothering the people at NorrIon?" "There's something fishy going on." "clients who avoid daylight." "AsIaksen was killed because he found something." " You have evidence, of course." " I'm working on it." "I can hardly wait." "They don't like you much at NorrIon, you know." "They've filed a complaint for break-in and threats." "You'II be fined and restrained." "bullshit." "I haven't threatened anyone." "talk to their lawyer, Anna KeiIhaug." "We did." "She's the one who filed the complaint." "Don't catch a cold now." "Here's the file from the inspection at the plant on the 12th." " hello." " Hi, Odin." " What are you doing?" " I checked the inspection report." "According to the log there was some activity at the plant on the night before the inspection." "unusual with cars logged in so late." " Let me see." " Like yours and Trygve's." "Just a malfunctioning computer." "should've been solved ages ago!" "Don't worry about it." "I'II sort it out." "Hi, it's Anna KeiIhaug from the head office." "I'd Iike a copy of the visitors log from the 12th." "Perhaps you could send it by fax?" "hello again..." "Why a complaint for threats?" "You have no right prying around like this." "Did you check the inspection report?" "Can you leave me alone?" "This is making me uncomfortable." "A girl is missing, a man was killed and someone tried to kill me also!" "When the press gets hold of this, do you want to be in it?" "Get your picture in the papers as accomplice." "would you Iike that?" "would you Iike that?" "!" "Come inside." "And stop shouting." "As a lawyer I'm bound to secrecy." "I cannot discuss anything confidential related to..." "Why are you speaking like a textbook?" "What is really all this about?" " A mother who has lost her child." " I can't help you." "If you want information from me, you'II have to steal it." "In that case, make sure I don't see it happen." " Want something to drink?" " please." " Beer, wine, soda?" " A beer sounds good." "Thank you." "Who at NorrIon is most influential?" "Trygve, Odin or..." " I don't want to talk about NorrIon." " Okay." "Why only pictures of you as a young girl?" "Don't you Iike the one you are now?" "I had photos of me and my fiancé." "But..." " They would destroy my mood, so I..." " Took them down?" "And you?" "tell me." "Much of the same." "Thanks for the beer." "The night before October 12th..." "At half past midnight..." "There's Trygve..." "Trygve arrives..." "Then Odin." "What the hell are you doing there the night before the inspection?" "What the fuck..." "There are three cars." "So who are you then?" "DonaIdson?" "I'm sure I've seen that number before." "Try to think!" "What do you want here?" "Karsten, he..." "He didn't drive home that night." "He went to NorrIon's plant." "In your car." "They must have known they would be checked up on." "So they went there to clean up." "I believe..." "I believe something happened to camilla at the site." "You believe something happened?" "You can't come here and say this..." "I need to know what happened to her!" "I need to know!" "Hi, it's Anna!" "It's me." " What do you want?" " CamiIIa disappeared at the plant, and I must find her." "I need your help." " Where do you take this from?" " The log you gave me..." " I gave you nothing." " This is important." "It shows Karsten went straight there after leaving Vibeke Farang." "With camilla sleeping in the back." "Something happened to her and your employers are trying to cover it up." "Your ship is going down, Anna." "Want to get onto a lifeboat?" "What do I have to do?" " In a hurry?" " No." " No?" " well, kind of." "could you help Trygve revise some contracts?" " You mean now?" " I can follow you to him." "AII right." "NorrIon are involved in industrial crime, some black market scheme." "They were tipped off the night before the inspection, went in and removed all evidence." "Veum, be kind to me, will you." "Hang on." "Hamre, wait!" "I'II try once more." "This is Anna KeiIhaug at NorrIon, please leave a message..." "She must have gotten stuck in traffic on her way here." "She can confirm this is authentic." "It shows AsIaksen was there that night." " It's not illegal to work late." " AII right..." "DonaIdson, their customer." "His hotel room was booked until the day of the inspection." "Then he wants to stay one more week." "Why?" "And he had loads of sea charts." " Are you playing by the rules now?" " The inspection fucked up the deal." "What I'm giving you, is that this guy's still in town." "Is it so very unlikely that camilla was the victim of an accident in a plant full of poison?" "If they kept toxic waste there illegally and she becomes exposed to it, then..." "Then it's manslaughter." "Isn't that serious enough?" "Have you dreamt this up or is it a hunch?" "It's all here in this file!" "The mobile phone has been switched off..." "Come on, Hamre." "Hamre!" "will you please listen!" "You can at Ieast check it, I'm not making this up." "Bård Farang is innocent." "AsIaksen was killed by Trygve or Odin to stop him from talking." "You're not alone in claiming that." "Vibeke Farang was down at the station and made a big scene." "Screaming NorrIon had killed her daughter." "She even broke a window." "So you mentioned this to a woman who's like an open wound?" "What's the matter with you?" "You behave like a child." "You're playing detective, without realizing the consequences." "Do everyone a big favour and..." "Go stay in your room." " Aren't you staying for dinner?" " We have a shipment." " The customer wanted us present." " We'II be back in time for coffee." "Ok." "Bye then." "Understand now why I want to retire?" "Imagine, work on a Friday night!" "It's time the young took over!" "HaraId Schrøder olsen!" "What's going on?" "Have you seen this girl before?" "Is your conscience clear?" "What did you do to her?" "The chief of the County Inspectorate!" "Are you here, you corrupt bastard?" " And the mayor!" " Now we can all calm down..." "I'd love to discuss this, but I have no idea what you are referring to." "And this happens to be my house." " Great place you've got." " We're having a party..." " What a fucking nice place!" " Now you've gone way too far." "You will live to regret this." "seriously regret it." " Come on." " This is Varg Veum." "He's investigating the disappearance of that little girl, camilla Farang." " But now he's leaving." " You crooked swine!" "You fucking..." "Come on then, come on!" "Come on, then." "We'II go for a ride..." "Trygve!" "Wait." "Get in the car." "Trygve!" "Come on, now!" " What exactly are we doing, Odin?" " I have no time to explain now." "We're selling chemical weapons!" "chemical weapons?" "What use the customer make of our product is not our business." "Do you realize how much money we'II make?" "Didn't you want us to go on the market?" "Monrad!" "Oh, fuck..." "bloody hell..." "help me!" "help!" "Somebody help me!" "hello there!" "Let her go." " Who's he?" " I've got camilla." "What are you talking about?" " You're bluffing." " Look in the barrel." "Come on, then!" "Where is camilla!" " You're not getting away with this." " Are you going to stop me?" "Where is the gas shipped, you wicked bastard?" "Trygve!" "Do you sleep well at nights?" "Anna!" "Varg!" "No, keep them separate." "Put her in the other container." "Monrad!" "Find that damn body." "Start around the main building." " Odin, this is way out of line." " Just shut up and do as I tell you." "Where's Anna?" "Where is she?" "She's the least problem you've got right now." "You know what this is?" "This mix is called hydrocyanide." "Or hydrogen acid." "It works so that..." "It stops your cells from absorbing oxygen." "If you breath this, all the cells in your body will suffocate." "How long can you keep your breath, Varg?" "In one minute you're unconscious." "In five you're dead." "Certain you won't tell me where camilla is?" "Any sign of Monrad?" "Put the suit on." "Hurry up!" "Varg, are you ready for some more?" "The first mix was not so strong." "You'd better hurry." "Say where she is." "Think, Varg." "Where the hell is she?" "Monrad!" "Quiet." "It's me." "But where is Odin?" "Odin is dead." "Take it easy." "Mummy..." "What the hell is this, Hamre?" "I'm arresting HaraId Schrøder olsen for sale of chemical weapons and the manslaughter of camilla Farang." "The Coast Guard intercepted a ship with a very interesting cargo." "Where do you take all this from?" "A tip-off from the public." "This is Varg Veum." "He's..." "He's kind of a distant relative." "well then..." " police commissioner Hansen." " Did you have a good party?" "Where should I take you?" " No one is waiting for you either?" " No." "I'm not known for being such good company." "I have a couple of bottles of Château Latour at home." "I've saved them for a special occasion." "So let's stop by your place first and pick them up."
