"Item 5 on the agenda." "The anniversary." "The Swedish Handgun Association turns 75 this year." "This must be acknowledged in an honorable fashion within economical limits, of course." "Roland, you were given the task of looking into this." "Should I start now?" "Sure." "I have a reliable contact who gave me some items that we can have a look at." "These are so-called escape hoods." "They protect from both heat and smoke." "I've got some brochures here." "You can pass them around." "I can assure you, they're really good." "It says a lot about chemicals here." "Are you sure they protect against fire?" "Absolutely - fire, smoke and other things." "It says so in the instruction manual." "Is it OK if we take a closer look?" "Of course." "These are samples, so..." "Try it on." "The packaging is easy to open." "Does it feel good?" "Yes." "We can hear you clearly." "It works fine." "Any other alternatives?" "This is one alternative." "Have you looked at anything else?" "Besides this one?" "This is the first option." "There are others too." "I'll talk to my contact." "We also have fire safety issues at outdoor shooting ranges." "Have you taken that into consideration?" "These are not suitable for outdoor storage all year round." "They'll freeze." "While the hood is of interest it's not the only solution to the problem." "Shall we postpone the matter?" "Yes." "I think we should make a decision instead." "A decision recommending these hoods." "What do you say?" "Does the executive committee propose that we investigate..." "...and postpone the matter?" "Yes." "The executive committee hereby decides to postpone the matter and that Roland investigates it further." "We'll discuss it again at the next meeting if you have the time." "099-510 10." "This is: "Radio 1 Phone-In"." "Twenty-five years since the unresolved murder of Prime Minister Olof Palme." "The question is, has the blood dried?" "Roland Hassel is on the line." "Hello, Roland!" "Hello!" "What's on your mind?" "You mentioned Prime Minister Palme." "I want to talk about the reward." "Yes, and?" "You know there's a reward?" "I know there's a reward, but I've no idea how big." "$8 million." "I see." "25 years on, it's still $8 million." "What do you think of that?" "What do I think of that?" "A hundred million, a billion..." "What difference does it make?" "According to the Consumer Price Index it should have increased to $13.9 million by now." "The prime minister won't come back to life even if you put up $ 1 billion." "But don't you think it's time to upgrade the reward?" "I just wanted to mention it so people can have an opinion." "Is this problematic for you personally?" "It's extremely problematic." "What do you do for a living?" "I don't work, I'm retired." "At the time of the murder?" "I was a police officer at the time." "Perhaps he was murdered by a police officer?" "Well..." "What do you say, Roland?" "I don't know what to say." "What's the weather like?" "Winter, like everywhere else." "Winter in Sweden." "Winter in the world." "Winter in the world."

"There's been a murder." "This is the police speaking." "Did you say a murder?" "This is the police." "Hello?" "This is the emergency room." "Ambulance on the way in." "A man shot in the chest." "Gunshot wounds and you're on your way?" "How is he, will he survive?" "No." "It's Prime Minister Palme." "What?" "Our prime minister, Olof Palme." "I'm serious." "No..." "Are you serious?" "Two shots - one straight in the chest." "Are you serious?" "Our prime minister?" "Yes, our prime minister." "Emergency services." "Hi." "I want to confirm that the prime minister has been shot." "He is very seriously injured." "It looks like he won't make it." "The prime minister has been shot." "Bloody hell." "That's the awful truth." "The officer in charge asked to be kept informed they called from the ambulance." "Was he shot in the head?" "No, in the chest." "It's a bloody mess!" "Yes." "So they don't expect him to survive?" "Apparently he's already dead." "Really?" "OK." "So now you know." "OK?" "Yes." ""What are you doing?"" "How was that?" "Hell, I'm not sure..." "Do you fall all the way down?" "I fall and end up in this position." "I have a problem with..." "It must have been a shock to..." "I can't be locked in this position for too long the shots came one after the other." "Bang, bang!" "If I'm lying here like this, I can't possibly turn..." "And see him?" "I don't think you fall like this." "What do you think?" "I think that the second shot came when your focus was there." "There?" "Yes, something like that." ""What are you doing?"" "When you say: "What are you doing?" you're facing me." "What about the killer?" "Doesn't he run away immediately?" "But do you see him?" "He pauses." "He pauses, he's thinking:" ""Should I fire another shot?"" "He decides not to and runs away." "Witnesses say that there was a moment's hesitation." "Bang!" "He falls to the ground." "I shoot again just as she turns around and in doing so she saves her own life." "From this angle there's a greater chance of being hit." "Mrs Palme is kneeling when the shot was fired." "She turns around." "She's on her knees." "She gets up - still on her knees." "That's when the shot is fired." "Bang, bang!" "Yes." "Bang, bang, bang, sort of..." "There's panic." "The first shot doesn't...she's alive." "That's when they make eye contact." "Let's try it again." "We can try 2 seconds." "We're talking about a time-lapse of between 1 and 3 seconds." "Why not 2 seconds?" "What do I do now?" "3 seconds." "One-thousand, two-thousand, three-thousand." "Take a firm grip of my arm this time." "Yes, I can do that." "That's better." "3 seconds." ""What are you doing?"" "How was that?" "Well..." "I still feel that the shots are fired too close together." "There's just not enough time." "How can...?" "How the hell could she identify the killer?" "No, precisely." "What kind of person can do that?" "Only someone used to this kind of thing a member of a gun club, or something." "This situation is so extreme, how could she possibly...?" "It's impossible for her to remember." "It's just something that she got into her head." "This junkie she pointed out." "He's violent." "He once killed a person with a bayonet." "He has spent years in prison." "He's violent." "Violent, violent..." "All those images." ""He has to be the killer", in the midst of this trauma which she cannot possibly recover from in 24 hours." "My dream is to reconstruct the whole murder scene indoors." "Next year, perhaps..." "We could use styrofoam." "I would really like to try that sometime." "We would lose some of the sacred authenticity but I would really like to test the exact times and distances indoors." "Then we'll need weapons with exact dimensions." "That's very important in relation to distances." "But this is fantastic compared to last year." "Here we are in a gym, sweating." "Absolutely." "It feels like a sport, actually." "OK?" "Yes." "There's been a murder." "A murder?" "A man has been shot in the chest." "Will he make it?" "No." "Olof Palme." "Palme News" "The Grand Cinema" "Reenactment concerning the murder of Prime Minister Olof Palme" "Excuse me, the Legal Advice Service?" "It starts in fifteen minutes." "Fifteen minutes?"

"Hello." "Can I help you?" "Maybe you can." "I have requested access to sections of the police investigation on the murder of Prime Minister Palme." "I want access to the documents regarding a Volvo car that was parked near the crime scene at the time of the murder." "I can read it for you..." ""Roland Hassel requests access" "to relevant information in the police investigation" "concerning a Volvo, parked near the crime scene" "on Feb 28, 1986, at 11.20 pm." "The information in question" "is filed under subsection 1."" ""The information you request..."" "What do you want me to do?" "I'm getting to that..." ""The information you request" "has been documented by officials in charge of the investigation."" "Listen to this: "The interrogation report in question" "does not fall within the conditions outlined" "in paragraph 2 of the Freedom of Information Act."" ""The information you request is not available to the public."" ""It has therefore been established that Mr Hassel" "does not have the lawful right to access this file."" "What's the problem?" "They've refused my request!" "What do I do next?" "A lot of these documents are not public documents." "They're filed away for the record." ""The interrogation report that you request..."" "I see..." "They are not public documents." "This happens sometimes." "My advice to you is, appeal the decision." "I'm not sure there's any point, but you can always try." ""This ruling may be appealed in the Court of Appeals."" ""The appeal shall be made in writing."" ""The letter should state clearly the ruling that is being appealed" "and the change in ruling that is requested."" "The documents that you want, in other words." ""The letter..." Yes." "If I'm refused, what do I do then?" "The next step is the Administrative Court of Appeals or the Supreme Administrative Court, as it's called now." "Supreme?" "Yes, it just changed its name." "From Administrative to Supreme?" "Yes." "You can appeal, but they may not try the case." "Generally, they only review important legal cases." "This may be considered important, but I doubt it." "How can anything be more important than this?" "The murder of Prime Minister Palme is important but maybe not important enough to release the document you want." "The statute of limitations has been removed." "That's interesting." "Yes, it is." "So the wound remains open." "That's one way of looking at it or perhaps it will allow the wound to heal." "Do you think it will heal?" "To be honest, I don't think so." "What do you think?" "No." "No, well..." "Do you have a few minutes?" "Just a few." "I would like to ask you about fire safety." "I'm sorry, but I don't know anything about fire safety." "Nothing?" "No." "You see, I..." "There's no point." "No point?" "No." "Our time is up now." "Our time is up." "Well, well, so it is." "Yes." "Am I your last client today?" "Yes, you're the last one." "OK...and you're off home now?" "That's right." "Can I give you a lift?" "I've got my own car." "What kind of car do you drive?" "A Volvo." "A Volvo?" "Yes." "Shall we leave it at that for today?" "You can come back another time." "That's it, is it?" "I think so." "We're beginning to touch on subjects that I'm not very good at talking about." "And our time is up." "What are you not good at talking about?" "Well, I'm here to give legal advice not to talk about car models." "Our time is up." "But come again...have another go." "In a month or two." "If you like." "What do you say?" "Yes." "Thank you." "Thanks." "Hello!" "How did you get on with the hoods?" "Fine." "I want to ask you about something that reenactment you were talking about." "Hello..." "Yes." "Can I have the number for Mrs Palme's coat?" "Do you mean the calf-skin?" "That's the one." "Hang on while I check." "The number is 497 6." "497 6." "Thanks." "Is it true that the investigation has cost $150 million by now?" "Is that true?" "Well, it's the world's largest investigation." "But it depends on how you add it all up." "Lisbeth Palme's coat." "It's a pity that..." "It's a fantastic coat." "We received 20 coats during the months following the murder." "No one wanted to have a coat like hers." "Wasn't Mrs Palme wearing a different coat when she arrived at the hospital?" "I've seen photos suggesting it was her but I don't think it was her." "But the killer was wearing a tight-fitting coat, wasn't he?" "The end of his coat moved." "It fluttered..." "According to the police report, it "moved"." "Fluttered." "It says "moved" in the report." "His coat was open because he put the gun in..." "In his inside pocket." "The pocket facing the street." "The coat could have been buttoned up, in any case don't you think?" "His trousers were hanging loosely, weren't they?" "The end of his trousers moved." "Fluttered..." ""Moved", according to the police report." "I think." "He was wearing gloves too, according to witnesses." "Gloves too..." "I don't know..." "What are you doing tonight?" "Will you join us at the murder site?" "Yes!" "We're checking the escape route one last time ahead of the reenactment." "Palme is lying in a pool of blood down the street." "The killer runs this way." "The tunnel is closed." "He has two options." "The steps leading to the street above or the escalator leading to the same street." "We will now test the route that the killer took after the murder." "There are two routes to choose from:" "Steps or escalator." "Why would he choose one before the other?" "No one has ever investigated this before." "We're going to test this." "A very practical, physical test." "Run up the steps at your own pace." "I'm going to start the stop-watch." "Shout when you get to the top!" "OK." "Take your positions, gentlemen!" "Ready, steady, go!" "We're up!" "This took 1 minute 10.4 seconds a little too long if you're making a getaway." "If I'm not mistaken, the escalator was shut off." "Were you here at the time?" "No, but I remember people saying:" ""Why didn't he take the escalator?" "Because it was shut off."" "I remember reading about a police officer who arrived at the scene." "He took the escalator and threw up when he got to the top." "Maybe he didn't realize it was shut off?" "Let's say I've just murdered someone." "I'm under extreme pressure." "Maybe I don't even see the escalator." "If you were unfamiliar with the area, you would take the steps." "The police claim that the killer was familiar with the area - maybe they're wrong." "He would have taken the escalator in that case." "Something isn't right." "We're going to do an experiment with the elevator now." "We want to find out how long it takes." "Is the elevator standing still?" "Looks like it." "It's not possible to control it from up here." "Something's happening now." "It's moving." "The elevator is here now." "No, it's on its way." "I'm taking the elevator now." "He's coming up in two seconds." "One, two." "How's the elevator doing?" "Here it comes." "Voilà!" "I didn't time you." "How was I supposed to know?" "I'm sorry!" "Never mind." "The elevator is going down now!" "Did someone push a button?" "It goes down automatically." "It's a one-way elevator." "Yes, you're quite right." "The elevator stops between the first and ground level." "There's metal on one side and cement on the other." "It's as if it stops at a level that doesn't exist." "It stops for 5 - 7 seconds and then continues to the 2nd level." "A level that doesn't exist?" "What would happen if we pushed the button for the first level?" "An office perhaps?" "It could be." "But I wouldn't take a chance like that if I had just murdered someone." "Not if you hadn't arranged a hiding place." "Please place your travel order." "Say or enter your personal ID or medical travel number." "Thank you." "This ID appears to be invalid." "Say or enter your personal ID or medical travel number." "1, 2, 8..." "Do you..." "Shut it!" "Thank you." "Hi, Sven." "Hi!" "Main menu:" "To make a booking, say: "Book"." "To confirm or cancel bookings, say:" ""My Bookings"." "Book!" "Do you want to book a taxi or a special vehicle?" "Special vehicle." "Hello?" "What?" "Main menu:" "To make a booking, say: "Book"." "Book." "Do you want to book a taxi or a special vehicle?" "Special vehicle." "Do you want to book a taxi or a special vehicle?" "Special!" "I seem to have a problem understanding your request." "Special!" "OK, let's see..." "Your telephone number is required to complete your booking." "Say or enter your telephone number, including the area code." "08 59 09 21 07." "08 590 92 07." "Is this correct?" "That didn't sound right." "21 07..." "Answer "yes" or press "1"." "If you would prefer to talk to Customer Service..." "..." "I can put you through." "Do that." "Say: "Customer Service"." "Customer Service." "Your booking is now complete." "You can check your booking by choosing "My Bookings" in the main menu." "But you didn't get my..." "One moment." "Thank you." "Hi, Sven." "Main menu." "Thank you." "Hi, Sven." "Main menu." "To make a booking, say: "Book. "" "To confirm or cancel a booking, say:" ""My Bookings. "" "Thank you." "Hi, Sven." "That should be him." "Yes, it should." "We didn't have to wait very long." "Can I give you a hand?" "Wait until he opens the doors." "Hi there." "Hi." "There we are..." "You sure know how to do this." "Years of experience." "Thank you." "There we are..." "Do you want me to help you with your seat belt?" "I happen to have very clear views on all of this when they began to orchestrate the murder of Prime Minister Palme" "Swedish society and the rule of law began to disintegrate." "When the shots rang out on Feb 28, 1986 society had collapsed completely." "There was no honor left." "This endless deception will in the end either bring our society to the point of no return or lead to some kind of what the Greeks call "catharsis"." "Some kind of cleansing." "It's a very horrid story." "We haven't seen the end of it yet." "It's as if it's just beginning." "Was it like this during your time as a police officer?" "Do you have anything against being yourself?" "No, I've always been myself!" "You get the honor of being witness number 1." "There you are." "Next on the list is the so-called "Mouth-to-Mouth Man" the witness who makes a vain attempt to administer first aid." "Wasn't it a woman who tried to administer first aid?" "You're quite right." "A woman called Anna." "Does anyone mind playing the part of a woman?" "You can still swap with each other." "Everything is negotiable but if you all start swapping, it'll get messy." "I would appreciate it if you keep the role you've been assigned." "The killer?" "You're playing the part of the killer." "Witness number 8, last but not least." "Second last, actually." "Witness number 8." "Here you are." "We've got this enormous facade at our disposal." "This is the entrance to where we are at the moment." "Here is the focal point for our activities." "The murder scene outside the building." "You may have questions both before we begin and during the reenactment." "Together, we have an enormous amount of knowledge that we can share to make this task a success." "There's a wealth of insight, and may I say wisdom in this room this evening." "It's truly great." "Acquaint yourselves with the data before we begin." "Relax for a bit and we'll get started shortly." "Help yourselves to costumes if you feel the need." "Do as you please." "Sven, we'll be back shortly!" "Let's start by marking the cars." "This is the first taxi on the scene." "And also the first ambulance." "Both taxi and ambulance?" "This is the first police unit on the scene." "There..." "Can someone help me with the mattresses?" "Absolutely." "Thanks." "You can put it down there." "That's fine." "Perfect." "Good." "Put them on top of each other we need to protect our knees when we fall." "You're quite right." "Let's take our positions Witness number 8." "There was a construction site over there at the time of the murder." "Behind the vehicle." "That is your position as witness number 8." "Under the employment agency sign?" "Yes." "Wasn't he further down the street?" "Witness number 8?" "No, he was standing next to the construction site that was there at the time." "And he saw the killer running past." "Have we got our "killer" here?" "I want the taxi driver in his car together with witness number 2." "Unfortunately, we couldn't bring any more cars." "Witness number 4, Anna." "Walk as far as the street lamp-post." "Everyone to their positions!" "My dear friends, we are ready for the 25th anniversary reenactment." "Witness number 8...perfect!" "You know what you have to do." "Have you all taken your positions?" "Excellent." "I think we can start from here." "This is fine." "Come a little closer...closer still." "You don't know who we are...yet!" "Let's begin." "Gunshot number 1, number 2." "I'm starting the stop-watch." ""What are you doing?"" "Witness number 8?" "Yes." "You're the first witness." "You've seen the killer running past." "Yes." "Witness number 2 is hiding at the entrance to Dekorima." "The taxi driver does a U-turn and parks here." "The taxi driver and witness number 3 get out of the car now." "Witness number 3 starts to administer first aid." "Witness number 4 can make her entrance now." "What does she do?" "She starts to give him heart massage." "Mrs Palme stops the procedure." ""Stop it!" "What are you doing?"" "She hits out." "She hits out like this." "Lisbeth Palme shouts:" ""Don't you see who it is?"" ""It's my husband, Olof." "He needs surgery."" "A few minutes pass according to the records." "We've rushed it a bit." "2 minutes and 40 seconds have now passed." "The first police unit arrives at the scene." "What happens between you two?" "I tell him what's happened." ""A man has been shot."" ""Did it happen just now?" -"Yes, just now."" ""Who is he?"" "Well, we didn't know at that time." "Where is Mrs Palme at this stage?" "She's running back and forth." "She's in shock." ""Call a surgeon." "Call an ambulance."" "OK, I'm his wife now..." "I'm walking around like this." "Any minute now... 3 minutes and 10 seconds have passed when the second police unit arrives." "The third police unit also arrives at the scene." "Then the first ambulance arrives at the scene." "Here come the paramedics." "Rather promptly, I would say." "What do they do?" "They assess the situation." "Mrs Palme says: "Can't you see it's my husband, Olof Palme?"" "Is she calmer now?" "No, she's still in shock." "What do the paramedics do?" "They start working immediately." "Right here?" "What are you doing?" "I just stand here, watching." "They open his coat and jacket." " Open your jacket." "Alright?" "Yes." "They determine the extent of his injuries." "OK, we've determined the extent of his injuries." "Mrs Palme is walking around like this." "They lift him onto a stretcher and secure him." "This means that..." "Is this open?" "Yes, it's open." "We have to do this figuratively." "We don't have a stretcher." "The victim will have to postpone his death and help himself into the ambulance." "Thank you." "What about Mrs Palme?" "Is she helped into the ambulance?" "If I remember correctly..." "...she wanted to get in the back." "With him?" "The ambulance was about to leave." "She was helped into the passenger seat, is that right?" "Let me give you a hand!" "Thank you." "6 minutes and 40 seconds have passed." "The ambulance leaves for the hospital with the prime minister and his wife." "So, that's it!" "Are we finished?" "We're finished." "We have carried out this year's reenactment of the murder of Prime Minister Palme on Feb 28, 1986." "It appears we're locked out." "Isn't Sven inside?" "There's a side entrance as well." "There are several..." "Sven!" "This is crazy." "He has fallen asleep!" "Wake up!" "Wake up!" "Bloody idiot!" "He can't leave us out here." "Sven!" "Sven, wake up!" "Wake up!" "What the hell are you going to do?" "Bloody hell!" "OK...there we are!"
