"Hi, Dad." "What are you doing up so early?" "This is when you say:" ""It's about time you came home."" "It's about time you came home." "Don't drink coffee." "Think about your stomach." " Want to taste?" " You know I stopped smoking." "And you shouldn't smoke." "You can get lung cancer." " I don't smoke that much." " You smoke all the time." "Why are you up this early?" "I'm taking a trip to Motala." "A dead girl has been found in the Göta canal." " Murdered?" " That's what it looks like." "Could you be quiet?" "You'll wake Erik up." "He can't be woken up." "Putte has just arrived back home." "I'm going to Motala." "I'll probably be away for a few days." "I'm going to catch up on some sleep." "That evening class is killing me." "Or else it's the hot French teacher who's doing it." "I must catch up on some sleep too." " Goodnight Goodnight" "Don't forget the gun, Daddy." "We're making a sketch of the deceased." "We've rung doorbells with no result." "If she's from around here, somebody should recognize her." "We fished her out eight days ago..." " and we don't have a name." "No crime scene, no suspects." "She was strangled and sexually assaulted." "The killer is brutal and perverted." "If it isn't Sherlock Holmes from the National Police himself!" "How do you catch a pervert who kills women, Detective Inspector?" "This is Gunvald Larsson, my colleague." "The press conference will be held tomorrow." "The problem is just that we don't have any news." "Then we tell them she was murdered somewhere else... and washed up here by coincidence." "Is that an option?" "Not for a second." "Where's Lennart Kollberg?" "Now we've moved to page twelve." "Those poor bastards don't have it easy." "Who do you mean?" " The tabloid journalists." ""The mystery thickens concerning the murdered woman in Motala."" ""Experienced police investigators are fumbling in the dark."" "Where do they get all that?" ""The naked beauty in Lake Båren."" " It's called Boren." "It's hard to believe that nobody has missed her." "Have you seen her?" " Yes." "Shit." "According to Gunvald Larsson the current couldn't have washed her up there." "Gunvald Larsson can crawl up his own tailor-made ass." "Shall we drive?" "I have to get started on my reports from the house calls." "There's someone who spends four pages on a one-eyed cat ... and handles three murders in a half sentence." "See you." "He could have backed his car up here and thrown her in the water." "Or she was thrown in the water from a boat." "About a hundred leisure boats pass here every day." "And then there are the canal boats:" "Diana, Juno and Wilhelm Tham,..." " but they only sail during the day." "Is it always this crowded?" " As you can see." "Will you be arresting the killer soon?" "That's possible, but unfortunately at present we can't give a precise answer." "Have you identified the girl?" " No." "Could she have been from around here?" " That doesn't seem likely." "In that case we would have been able to identify her." "So you think she's from a different part of the country." " Yes." "How old was she?" " Between 25 and 30." "A sketch artist has made a picture of her as she might have looked when alive." "You're going back to Stockholm?" "We can't do much more here." "But good luck." "We'll contact Interpol." "How do you get to Linköping from here?" " Shouldn't we ...?" "Isn't that where we can see her?" "I'll call and tell them you're coming." "I'll drive you to Linköping." " I can take the train." "There are no train connections in this part of the country." "I want you to make a new description of her for me personally." "Details." "How she...?" " What she looked like when she was alive." "Greyish blue eyes, blonde hair." "Good teeth with no fillings." "No surgical scars or other marks..." " except a mole on the inner left thigh." "Narrow shoulders, slim waist and narrow hips." "Just above medium height." "Long legs and muscular calves." "Normal feet, size 37." "You can take a cab there." "I don't give a shit that it's overtime..." "Martin, any news about the Arvika killing?" "No, it's with the District Attorney." " And Månsson?" "In Motala?" "I haven't heard from him in a month." "Nothing's happening." "Nobody's reacted to the drawing of the deceased... and we don't even know where she was murdered." "She could have been thrown in the water from a boat, but passenger boats only sail during the day." "I've received word from Interpol in the USA." "The description matches perfectly:" "27 years old, average height." "Traveling around Europe alone." "It's coming through." "Here's the photo." "Let me introduce our murder victim, Miss Sylvia..." "Nice try, Skacke." "But Detective Inspector Beck has other things to attend to, so you'll have to handle the foreign countries yourself." "Try the embassies again." "You can have this framed." "She hasn't given birth or had an abortion." "She wasn't murdered after ordinary intercourse." "No traces of semen." "3-5 hours before she died, she ate... veal, potatoes, strawberries, milk." "No traces of alcohol or drugs." "No traces of disease or organic changes." "She didn't smoke." "Are you still up?" "I couldn't sleep." "You're coming home late." "I'm sure she ate at a restaurant." "Cooked veal with potatoes." "Strawberries with milk." "That doesn't sound home-cooked." "We're checking everything." "We've been to every restaurant within 70 kilometres." "Yes, I'll call back." "Goodbye." "What's on your mind?" "I've had a little chat with the captain of the canal boat Diana." "Sporadic, scattered." "Don't think about it any more." "It's neither the first time nor the last that we've had to give up." "As if being a good cop is something special." "That's not exactly what I'm thinking about." "It's not good for morale to keep on brooding." "Shall I sign it?" "Detective Inspector Månsson has news about the deceased in the Göta canal." "Better late than never." "Yes." "Precisely." "Where did the body come from?" "From a boat?" "Possibly a leisure boat." "Passenger boats only pass in full daylight." "But then a uniformed policeman has said that he saw a canal boat pass in the middle of the night." "Late June." "Gunvald Larsson has spoken to the shipping company." "They've confirmed it." "The name of the boat is Diana." "I called the captain." "And now he remembers." "The engine failed and they had to stay outside of Söderköping for 8 hours." "and they didn't pass Borenshult marina until after midnight." "What day?" "Their fourth trip in June." "The evening leading up to the 24th." "Four days before we found her." "My name is Benny Skacke." "Benny Skacke, Detective Assistant..." "Detective Inspector Benny Skacke." "National Police, Andersson speaking." "No, he's not here." "He won't be back until three o'clock." "Do you know what they served for dinner on the canal boat Diana on 23 June?" "No." "What they found in the corpse's stomach:" "cooked veal and strawberries for dessert." "You can get the passenger list from the shipping company." "I have to catch my train." "Already?" "Next week I 'm going to Malmö." "I got the job down there." "Congratulations." "Am I interrupting?" " You always are." "There's a fax from Detective Inspector Kafka from the USA." "Kafka is from Prague ...and he's dead." "Detective Inspector Elmer B. Kafka, Homicide Squad, Lincoln Nebraska." "He's sending a picture of a girl to Martin Beck." "Roseanna McGraw, librarian." "A librarian from Nebraska." "Good luck." "Roseanna McGraw." "Captain Svalberg." " Martin Beck." "So you think she was murdered here?" "Hello, Greta." "And as usual I'll prove your theories wrong." "How long are we going to be here?" "A month at the most." "Then the ship will be dry docked." "But you need it tomorrow." " Yes, please." "Where are you going?" " I've received a package." "Sixty-eight people according to the list." "No addresses?" " No, just their nationalities." "It's going to be hard work sorting them all out." "We can take some off right now." "Children and old women." "I have the addresses of the personnel and crew." "Do we know if she was traveling alone?" "At least she had the cabin to herself." "Fifteen Swedes: five Anderssons, three Johanssons and three Petterssons." "Twenty-one Americans... or twenty." "Twelve Danes, four English, one Scot, two South Americans, two Japanese, five Dutch and two Turks." "Let's put Gun on this." "Gunvald Larsson." " Is he here now?" "You didn't know?" "He's been transferred by..." " Hammar." "I think he's supposed to be here permanently." "This is a video from Kafka." "He's questioned some people who knew Roseanna." "Oh, there you are." "Kollberg showed me the passenger manifest from the boat you're working on." "He thought I might be on to something." "And I am." "What?" "Karl-Åke Eriksson." "The machinist?" "His real name is Karl-Åke Eriksson-Stolt." "One year in prison for sleeping with a twelve-year-old girl." "You don't remember him?" "A cheeky son of a bitch." "Yes, I think so." "Are you sure?" "I've checked with the Sailor's Agency." "It's him." "He lived with his mother in Hagalund." "He was unemployed." "Then he got the landlord's twelve-year-old daughter drunk on moonshine." "The doctor was afraid there would be lasting damage from the shock." "He got a year." "Unpleasant guy." " Do you know where he is?" "I've taken care of that too for you." "He signed on to the M.S. Kalajoki." "A Finnish freight boat in the free port." "He's discharged now." "He's living on Nordre Kaj." "What the hell is this about?" " Karl-Ake Eriksson-Stolt?" " Yes, that's right." "Eriksson-Stolt, Karl-Åke." "Born 23-11-55 in Hagalund, Solna." "Occupation:" "Sailor." "Last signed on to the Finnish ship Kalajoki." "Is that correct?" "Answer yes or no." "Is that correct?" " Yes, damn it." "Where did you live before signing on to the Finnish boat?" "With my mother." "Did you have a job?" " No, I was sick." "What did you do before you got sick?" " I worked on a boat." "The name?" " Diana." "What did you do there?" "I was hired as machinist." "How long did you work there?" " All summer." "Did you meet any girls there?" "The only one worth watching was in with the chef." "The others were just old ladies." " What about the passengers?" "You didn't see much of them." "I didn't meet any girls there." "Can you remember if anything unusual happened on board that summer?" "What do you mean?" "Didn't the machine break down at one point?" "Yes, there was a water pipe that broke." "We were in Söderköping, and it took hell of a long time to fix." "When you left Söderköping, were you working?" "Yes, we had to work like hell all three of us." "At what time during the day did you stop working?" "The day after Söderköping?" "It must have been late in the afternoon." "What did you do when you got off?" "What did you do when you got off from work?" "Nothing." " You must have done something." "What did you do when you got off work?" " Nothing, I've told you." "You must have done something." "Did you meet anyone?" "Think hard." "What do you think there's to do on an old boat?" "Playing soccer?" "OK, let's go over it again." "When you worked on the canal boat Diana, did you get to know any of the passengers?" "We weren't allowed to be around the passengers, and I didn't care about those stupid tourists anyway." "Do you recognize her?" "Who is it?" "Don't answer right away." "Take a good look at her." "Have you seen her before?" "No." "Roseanna McGraw." "Does the name tell you anything?" "That's a strange name." " Roseanna McGraw was American." "She got on board the Diana in Stockholm on June 21st." "You have confirmed you were on the boat." "When the boat came to Gothenburg, Roseanna wasn't on it." "She was murdered on the night between June 23rd and 24th." "The body was found in a lock basin in Borenshult." "It was in all the papers." "I haven't murdered anyone." "I haven't seen her before." "What did you do on the night between the 23rd..." "I was in my cabin, sleeping." "I never touched her." "I swear it." "You could have gone harder on him." "We can always pick him up again." "Would Roseanna really fall for someone like Eriksson?" "You might not believe it, but he could have waited in her cabin and attacked her there." "Here's Greta's report." "There were fourteen blood splatters on the bed and the carpet." "The blood type matches Roseanna's." "Now we know that's where it happened." "Let's say we know that." "When?" "The night between June 23rd and 24th after sunset." "She undressed herself." "Probably voluntarily, since there are no traces of torn clothing." "What do we know about the killer?" "Sadist." "Sexual pervert." "Male." "Karl-Åke Eriksson-Stolt." "I want a hamburger." "How the hell can a person just disappear half-way through a trip without anyone noticing?" "Not even the cabin maid?" "You don't want this?" " No." "Whoever killed her must have stayed on board..." "The cabin wouldn't have looked good." "and then cleaned it up so that it looked normal again." "What about sheets and carpets?" "Nothing's missing." "If the murderer was known on board, he could have fetched new bed linen." "You don't think someone would have noticed?" "Do you want coffee?" "That wouldn't have been too hard to arrange." "Haven't you ever been on board a passenger boat at night?" "Everyone's sleeping." "And all the closets and storage rooms are open." "The passenger boat sailed through Lake Boren during the mid-watch." "We know with certainty three persons were awake:" "the two on the bridge and one in the machine room." " Did you want coffee?" " No." "None of the passengers could have done it." "They're watched too closely." "And they know too little about the routines on board and the sailing route." "And none of the crew could have done it." "They watch each other too closely and their opportunities to see the passengers are limited." "This means nobody murdered Roseanna McGraw." "My theory is pitiful as usual, but we have Karl-Åke..." "Hello, are you listening?" "Yes, of course." "She must have met someone." "There have to be lots of photographs." "People get off at every lock and photograph each other." "There must be hundreds of photos sitting in photo albums by now." "And videos." "You're on to something." "We've already located the Swedish passengers." "Aren't there any nearby?" "Yes, on Norr Mälarstrand." "An old colonel and his wife." "Here's Major Jentsch himself." "The Major's wife must have taken this." "This is me and my wife." "The lady I'm talking to is Mrs. Liebeneiner." "She's German." "She ate at our table." "Excuse me, the blonde girl?" "Yes, I recognize that little girl." "She was Dutch or English." "Are you sure you recognize her?" "Yes, most definitely." "She ate at our table at least four or five times." "I recognize the dress." "The décolletage." "She's only in three photos." "Two with your friend the colonel, and one with a flock of tourists." "Three lousy pictures after two weeks' work." "Yes, but now it's done." "I've looked at all the videos now." "Nothing." "A language learning trip to Brighton instead of going to Japan?" "Brighton is nice." " I don't care about Brighton!" "My shoes are from Brighton." " I'm not going on a language learning trip." "I've saved every penny for one and a half years to be able to afford this trip." "In two weeks the boat leaves for Leningrad..." "...I mean Saint Petersburg." "And I've bought a ticket for the Trans-Siberian railroad." "It's dangerous." " No it isn't." "My sweet Putte, all of Russia is in a state of disintegration." "Anything can happen, and everything happens over there." "I don't want anything to happen to you." "Dad, can I have 20 kronor?" " You've received your allowance." "What do you need 20 kronor for?" " Wine and women." "What's that noise?" "I'm trying to learn the passé simple." "Putte wants to go on the Trans-Siberian railroad." "Haven't we talked about this?" "I think it's a great idea." "I've always dreamed of doing it." "How about a tenner?" " No!" "Who the hell uses Super-8 these days?" "Svend and Else Jensen from Randers in Denmark." "Both are retired." " Isn't Randers in.." " It's in Jutland." ""The beautiful girls in Randers." It's a Danish expression." "They can't have been thinking of Mrs. Jensen." "The weather got bad." "They were stopped by fog before Hävringe." "This has to be her." "She's got less than a day left." "The man in the blazer is Wilfred Bellamy from Oregon, USA." "Get ready for this." "Here she is, and it looks like she's talking to the guy with the sports cap." "It's west of Söderköping." "She's got about ten hours left." "This is west of Lake Roxen." "They've just passed the Berg lock." "This is the last lock before Bårenshult." "Borenshult." "Karl-Åke Eriksson-Stolt." "There's a bicycle here too." "We haven't seen the guy with the cap before." "He's not on my list." "It's a deck passenger." "The bicycle wasn't on the boat from the start, was it?" "It doesn't turn up until after the Söderköping lock." "That's where we saw the guy with the cap in profile for the first time." "Can we make a still image from the negative of the film?" "I'll make a mark by him on the list." "Let's move on." "It's possible I sold him a ticket." "This is her." "I see 2000 tourists every summer." "And most of the time I'm up here on the bridge." "Are there often deck passengers on the cruises?" "It used to be more common." "But I suppose there's always someone." "Where do they usually get on board?" "Anywhere the boat anchors or by the lock." "Like in Söderköping?" " Sure, why not?" "They aren't on the passenger manifest?" " No." "But if he ate on board, the waitresses might recognize him." "Do you have any names?" " Ask in the office." "Is it all right if I speak to him?" " Yes." "You don't know his name?" "Andersson or Nilsson or a common name like that." "Karin mentioned it in passing." "I've seen him over the years." "He usually sails along for a part of the stretch as a deck passenger." "What's the name of your friend?" "I wouldn't call her a friend." "We were just colleagues." "Karin Larsson." "We worked together during a few summer seasons on the Diana." "Do you know if they were close friends?" "She met him a few times when she had time off." "But then she stopped talking about him." "It ended, ...or something happened between them towards the end of the summer." "I think she moved home to Norrtälje last autumn." "No." "I know you know him." "You met him on the canal boat Diana." "I told you, no." "I've never seen him before." "And I'm on my way to work." "Are you leaving already?" "I was going to make coffee." "I don't have time." "Why are you lying?" "I can prove that you've met this man several times." "I want to know who he is." "It must be some kind of misunderstanding." "Leave me alone." "She's welcome to contact me." "My private number is there too." "Do you know his name?" "No, she never told me." "But it has to be him." "Karin hasn't been herself after that." "First she was in the hospital, and then she came home to me again." "Why was she in the hospital?" " I don't know." "Karin never tells me anything." "When your children grow up..." "Which hospital was it?" " Norrtälje General Hospital." "At the opening of the uterus and on the back wall of the vagina there were wounds that have to been caused by a hard and sharp object." "In the opening of the vagina there were scratches indicating that the object must have been rather large." "Some kind of blunt instrument." "Maybe a bottle." "It must have been some perverted maniac who did it." "I asked her how it happened but she maintained that she had done it herself." "I didn't believe her, and she knew it." "In the end she didn't even try to sound convincing." "She just repeated that she had done it herself." "Can I use your phone?" "Of course." "Do I press the zero first?" " Yes." "This is Detective Inspector Beck." "We met this morning." "Do you know where your daughter Karin is?" "She came back right after you left." "She packed some clothes in a bag and took a cab to the station." "She was going to Gothenburg to find work on a boat." "Boat?" "Putte." "Say hi to dad." "Goodbye, Putte." "Have a good journey." "Take care of yourself." "Are you so busy with your murderers that you forget your own children?" "Dad, someone called." "It was important." "A Karin Larsson." "What did she want?" " It was something about a name." "What name?" " I wrote it down by the phone." "Goodbye." "Write!" "Folke Bengtsson." "We can look at that model in here." "This one?" " Yes." "And would you like it in off-white?" "Just around this corner." "Folke Bengtsson works as a salesman." "He sells complete bathrooms and mixed fittings." "On ten days out of fourteen, the following occurred:" "At 07:00 he rolls up the curtain." "At 07:01 he opens the window." "At 07:35 he opens the window slightly." "At 07:40 he comes out wearing jogging clothes and goes for a run." "He returns half an hour later." "At 08:40 he walks to the Gärdet subway station... and takes the subway to Odenplan." "At 12:01 he goes to one of two lunch restaurants." "He eats vegetarian pizza, fish or a salad with shrimps." "Sometimes cheese and ham." "At 12:20 he takes a fast walk in the observatory gardens or in Vasa Park." "At 12:50 he returns to work." "At 18:05 he leaves work, buys a ticket at Odenplan, and takes the subway home." "He's watched TV at home ten out of fourteen evenings." "The other evenings he's gone to soccer games, eaten out alone or gone to the movies." "See you tomorrow." "He doesn't look at girls in the street but sometimes looks at windows in sports shops." "Boo!" "Did you sleep well?" "Go home to bed." "He neither subscribes to nor buys any newspapers." "But he reads "Technology for Everyone" and a boring sports fishing magazine." "He doesn't have an orange 10-gear Crescent bike... but a new mint green mountain bike, parked in the basement." "What's he like?" "He seems healthy, strong and boring." "Moves in a relaxed manner, wears sports clothes, doesn't seem nervous." "It could go on like this until the next time he goes on vacation." "Let's pick him up." "So this is Folke Bengtsson." "Martin Beck." "I'll be leaving." "Sit down." "Do you know why we've asked you to come here?" "Actually, no." "It's possible you could help us with a case." "What would that be?" "How did you spend your vacation this summer?" "I was in different places." "Like two weeks on the west coast." "Did you drive?" "I don't have a car... actually not even a driver's license." "I ride a bike." "It's good to keep in shape." "I try to do it myself." "I've considered getting a 12-gear..." "Mountain bike." "I have one." "It's Italian." "You rode it this summer?" " No, not that one." "This summer I had a different one, a Crescent." "Were you anywhere else other than the west coast?" "I also spent a week in Mem." "And after that I took a boat to Gothenburg." "From Mem?" " No, from Söderköping." "I went on one of the canal boats." " The Diana?" "Actually, yes." "Do you recognize this woman?" "She looks familiar." "Who is she?" " She was on board the Diana this summer." "I think I remember her." "What's her name?" "Roseanna McGraw, American." "Yes, that's right." "She was on the boat." "I spoke to her a few times." "As well as I could." "You haven't seen or heard her name since then?" "Actually, no." "So you don't know she was murdered on that very trip?" "No." "I didn't know that." "Is it true?" "It's strange that you haven't heard about it." "Quite honestly, I don't believe you." " I can explain that I never read newspapers." "You don't have a TV?" "Yes, but I only watch nature shows and movies." "Why don't you read newspapers?" "There's nothing in them that interests me." "It's just politics." "And murder and misery." "Did you spend a lot of time with Roseanna McGraw?" "Not really." "I spoke to her on three or four occasions." "During which part of the trip?" "It must have been the first day." "We had a conversation between Berg and Ljungsbro." "Passengers go ashore there while the boat passes the lock." "Have you made this trip before?" " Yes, several times." "Do you know where Roseanna McGraw's cabin was?" "Did you hear my question?" "Do you know where Roseanna McGraw's cabin was?" "Yes, I was trying to think." "No, I don't think I ever found out." "You never followed her down there?" " No." "The cabins are terribly small, and two people share each cabin." "Always?" " Some people travel alone." "But that's expensive." "Roseanna McGraw." "Did she travel alone?" "I never thought about it." "She didn't say anything about that as far as I remember." "You never joined her in her cabin?" "Actually, no." "It wasn't you who killed Roseanna McGraw?" "Do you think so?" "I'm sorry for the inconvenience." "Maybe we can give you a ride you get home?" "Thanks, but I'll take the subway." "I'll find my own way out." "I let him go." " Of course." "It's better to wait." " What are we waiting for?" "Do you think he did it?" "We have to find something." "Good night." "Find something?" "Is there anything to find?" "Good night." "The Daily News." "All of a sudden he reads newspapers." "Wait here a second." "I'll be right back." "Where are you going?" "Visiting someone in hospital." "Where did you go?" "What if he ...?" "So far he's never made the run in under twenty-seven minutes." "These pictures of half naked ladies, pierced by a sharp object, were under the suspect F. Bengtsson's refrigerator." "Who's he hiding them from?" " Where did you get them?" "Violation of personal privacy." "He's also started reading newspapers." "Don't leave them lying there in the open." "Lennart." "Lennart!" "Are you getting old?" " Yes, I'm beginning to feel my age." "I've exchanged a few faxes with Kafka." "Make a trap." "Make a trap for him." " A bait." "Yes, why not?" "It's completely voluntary." "You can say no." "If it's successful..." "If he's turned on by me, what then if he..?" "You never have to be afraid." "We'll always be nearby." "You've questioned him." "He has to be suspicious." "Always keep good relations with the press." "Once in a blue moon it can be useful to you." ""Murder on Göta Canal Under Investigation"" "You have to learn everything about the case now." "It's important." "You're going to become Roseanna McGraw." "Last I played theatre was in school." "Is this really allowed?" "It's our only chance." "He needs a push and we're going to give it to him." "If we don't do it, someone else will." "Someone who can't defend themselves." "It'll be all right." "First time?" "Good thing I met a professional." "I need help." "I'm redoing my bathroom." "I have an old disgusting bath tub from the turn of the century." "Since I'm alone and only take showers," "I want to replace the bath tub with a shower room." "Shower cabin." " Right." "What choices do I have?" "We have four models to choose from." "They're on display over there." "Yes, there are the shower rooms." "This looks good." "Maybe I'll take this one." "You need to know about drains and wall constructions." "Can you help me with that?" " I don't know." "Or we have this model, and we can also look at that one." "If you have to choose, which one would you pick?" "Really, I don't know." "This model is the cheapest, but the finish on the first model is decidedly better." "You might as well buy quality while you're at it." "Yes, that one is recommended." "And the installation is included in the price." "It's all here in the brochure." "Lots of people fix it up themselves, but I'm so bad at practical things." "It's not unusual for the water to end up in the apartment below." "Åsa, it's Martin." "Can you see if it's working?" "We'll try again." "I'm hanging up." "You just pick up the receiver, and you'll be in contact with one of us here or down at the station." "We have our own channel." "Was that Lennart arriving?" "Yes." "It's going to look great." "And the government is paying." "Time to start the drill." "I'm hanging up." "This is Skacke." "See if you can catch me." " With pleasure." "Lennart, did you get that?" " Yes, I got it." "He seemed nice." " Who?" "Folke Bengtsson." "I think he seemed nice." "Are you sure he's the one?" " We're working on it." "Nice?" "Well, we'll see." "Watch out, here comes the bungler." "Understood" " This is Lennart." "I understand." "Skacke is inside now." "What are we going to do now?" " You're the killer." "It's happening." "Tap shoes?" "Try again." "Go in... now!" "The key is a bit hard to turn." " I heard you on the stairs." " The tap shoes." "Was the connection all right?" "Hello, it's Åsa." "Yes, it was." "Can I call you back later?" "You can take your phone off the receiver when he's on his way." "Yes, it's all right, and I've got much more space in the bathroom." "But there is something wrong with the tilt because the water runs over the edge instead of down the drain." "Last night I took a long shower, and I didn't notice until afterwards." "There was water all over the bathroom floor so I was crawling around on all four, trying to dry it up." "I need to speak with a professional installer." "The neighbours haven't complained yet." "It would be better if you came by." "You already have my address." "It's probably just some screw that needs tightening." "Drop by some day after work." "I would like to see what you have in sinks." "He's crossed Norra Bantorget and is walking up Olof Palmes gatan." "By now he has dragged Skacke around for ten kilometres." "At least it will keep him awake." "Now you made a double error again." "He is getting closer, isn't he?" "Ten kilometres." "What's he doing?" "Ladies' ten kilometres." "He is picking up speed now, and is heading towards Norrmalm." "Yes, it's me." " He's on his way." "Finally something's happening." "How does it feel?" " It's okay." " Are you sure?" " Do you need to change clothes?" " Oh, yeah." "Take it easy." "Don't panic." "He's on his way." "We're two minutes from Eriksbergsplan." "Åsa, he's on his way now." "He's leaving now." "It seems like he's giving it up." "He's heading towards the 47 bus stop." "Kollberg, come in!" " This is Kollberg." "It looks like he's dropping it." "Let's wrap it up." "Well there is nothing to do about that." "I'm going into the apartment now." "That's it for today." "Folke is tired." "He took a bus from Birgerjarlsgatan." " Would you like some cold chocolate milk?" " Sure, why not." "If he was normal, he would have broken into the apartment after my performance today." "Perhaps he's a bit shy." "Understood." "I'm on my way." "I almost think I've fixed it myself." "But maybe I did everything wrong." "You've got to come over and check it." "You promised me." "Don't forget now." "By now I'm almost longing for him to come." "Gunvald just tripped on the goal line and messed up his fancy pants." "Do you need any help?" " No, thanks." "Yes, I can see him." "Everything's okay." "I almost lost him in the restaurant." "I see him now." "He is walking towards Grev Turegatan now." "Is your boy called Putte?" "It's not my son." "It's my daughter." "Folke Bengtsson has grown tired of this rain too." "Then we'll take a break." "He's going to the movies." "So will I." "Understood." "Over." "That's it for today." "Folke has gone to the cinema." "That can't be true." " Yes, sorry." "Were going out to eat." "Closing time." "I guess it's Chinese." "What the hell are you doing?" "Don't you get it's the wrong guy?" "I don't want to be a part of this anymore." "It's too degrading, to him and to me too." "Listen to us, Åsa." " Lennart." "Do you mind waiting in the car?" "I'll be right there." "I don't want to have any more to do with this." "Let's just forget about it all." "We can't leave this now." "I can't just throw away a month's work." "It will be impossible for me to do this all over with someone else." "I don't want to do this anymore." "I don't want to be humiliated again." "When I hired you for this, you had a choice." "You don't anymore." "I'm your boss now." "I decide if and when this is over." "Can't you see, this is just some poor bastard?" "He wouldn't harm a fly." " I'll be the judge of that." "You don't believe he's guilty." "I believe he is." "If it is as you say it is, we'll know very soon... and no harm will have been done." "We'll try again tomorrow, and next week again if we have to." "Who's replacing Skacke?" " I am." "Are we going to eat?" "As soon as Gunvald has removed his fancy shoes from the dash board." "It's not like you think." "I'm the police." "All this, it's a trap." "I know." "You didn't mean it for real." "You just wanted to humiliate me." "The woman on the boat?" "You aren't women." "You're animals." "Shameless, disgusting animals." "And you revel in your filth." "I can help you, Folke." "I can help you." "Do you remember Roseanna?" "Did you dislike her from the start?" "Yes, she was pushy, just like you." "So you killed her?" "No." "Did I?" "You don't remember that you killed her?" "I didn't have to touch her." "You were in her cabin, and you undressed her." "She undressed herself!" "She wanted to contaminate me." "I had to punish her." "You want to make me dirty.." "Your body will.." "Damn it to hell!" "Tell Skacke to shut the hell up." "Shut up, Skacke." "We're listening too." "Would you mind getting out?" "Hold on!" " How are you?" " I'm okay." "But I'm stuck." "That wasn't so bright." "I'll take the balcony." "Let her go!" "If it hadn't got this far, if he hadn't started assaulting me, there wouldn't have been much point to all of this." "Right?" "It's not a serious offence that he came to visit me after all my invitations." "So, even if you had been here as planned, you still couldn't have intervened before he..." "I don't know." "It was completely impossible to guess what would happen." "You were right after all." "Do you want me to call someone?" " No, thanks." "I don't want to leave you like this." "I'll call myself." "You can go now." "It's me." "Please come over." "Now!"
