"We have found a Chevy van with false plates on your farm." " You don't need to come back for my sake." " The management wants to have a meeting." " She's a fucking drunk!" " Shut up!" "They must know that we will be looking for it." " I'll cut his throat!" " Drop the knife!" " You got this from the van?" " Yes." "Cliff!" " I didn't know about Milan." " Fragments of crackling and whistling." "These are probably good enough, you'll see." "Let go!" "Let her go!" "Run, Linnea!" "Linnea!" " Good morning." " Good morning." " Good morning, Nina." " Good morning." " Is the shower available?" " No." "Do you have a razor?" "No." "I'll ask Dinkan." "She usually shaves her armpits." " How do you know?" " What?" "No, I don't have a razor blade." "What's wrong with you?" "I saw Theo come out of Nina's cabin just now." "Half Naked." "I was taken somewhat somewhat by surprise, actually." " That's not our concern." " No." "No." " Did you sleep well?" " No." "Crowded?" "These cabins have the same dimensions as the average cell at Kumla Prison." "But you get used to it." "Do you like to cook?" " I'm good at baking." " Then your mother is probably happy." "I don't have a mother." "Sorry, I didn't know that." "I have two mothers." "One who gave birth to me, and the one that I grew up with." "But that hasn't helped much." "You have to do some things for yourself if we are to get anywhere." " Who are you?" " I'm Cliff." " Who is that?" " That's Cliff." " But who is Cliff?" " A witness." " He provided witness statements." " Two journalists called." "We've been bugged." " How have you increased security?" " All the locks have been changed." "I don't think it will happen again, but who's behind it?" "I was thinking about holding a press conference in about an hour." "What can I use out there?" " Say as little as possible." " I understand that." "We need to inform them that this involves multiple victims." "We have identified ..." "No." "All the victims haven't been identified." "Until then, I guess the investigation is confidential." " I'm going to say that they were murdered." " Yes, but don't say how." "You could say that Nina Molander is responsible for forensic pathology." "Between her episodes of delirium, seizures." "I apologize for that." "Kvarnström realizes that he probably went over the line." "So is she staying on?" "She's done what she could, so she can continue as an expert witness" " I just thought we ..." " It's important to save face with the higher ups." "That's your interpretation." "Good job with Fischer, by the way." "They have reeled in an entire drug ring." "You look tired." "Good morning." "Good morning." " Have you been working all night?" " No." "Why?" "I was up last night and saw that your hammock was empty." " It was raining." " Yes ..." "Yes." "Listen!" "I'm almost certain that it's his voice." "...ThenImet you ...  ...twowonderfulchildrenthat  A jealousidiotlikeme, youknowthat..." "Andyouraffairwithhim meantnothing..." "Theresia?" "Who did she have an affair with?" " No idea." " Why didn't she say anything?" "It explains why they were talking about divorce and why Omar disappeared." "What if this is a jealousy tragedy?" "Theo has come up with Omar's voice on the tape." "It looks like Theresia had a lover." "Oh, shit!" "Now it's beginning to look like something else." "Fischer, perhaps?" "Maybe she killed her family to smoke organic marijuana?" " Can't a mother kill her children?" " Yes." "But not in that way." "What about the mother from Boston who drowned her five children in the bathtub?" " She was mentally ill." " What says that Theresia is healthy?" "What should we say?" "We'll... improvise." "Ialreadytoldyou ." "Wehadbeenhappyformanyyears." "Butwestartedtodriftapart ." "Ithappensin alot ofmarriages." "Wegrewin differentdirections..." "You come to a point where don't have much more to offer each other." " Did Omar also come to that point?" " Why are you asking about that?" "It's just that, maybe I felt that way more than he did." "...A jealousidiotlikeme, youknowthat." "...andyouraffairwith him meantnothing..." " Did you have a affair with someone else?" " Who Omar was jealous of?" "Was that why he disappeared?" "Why haven't you told us about this?" "Because ..." "It's just that, I've always said, this had nothing to do with my affair." "How do you know?" "Who is he?" " I don't want to say." " Why not?" " Because he has been having a hard time." " In what way?" "He has also been married for many years" "He has... a seriously ill wife." "Do I have to talk about this?" " Yes." " Yes." "Omar disappeared when he discovered that you were cheating?" " Yes." " And then he was gone for a week?" "Yes." "Then he came here one day and wanted to have kids for the weekend." "Over the weekend?" "What day was that?" "It was a Wednesday." " And on Friday he picked up kids?" " Yes." " And disappeared with them," " Yes." "Did you hear from him between Wednesday and Friday?" " No." " The last time you spoke to Omar was on Wednesday?" "Yes." "Where were you when the abduction occurred?" " Home." " Alone?" " Yes!" " Are you sure?" "Oh, my God!" "His last call was to her home, just before he picked them up at the recreation center." " Did you answered it?" " Yes, but it was short." "Omar called just before he picked up the children." " No." " Yes." "We know he did." " Did you answer the call?" " I said no." "But you said you were home when he picked up the children." " Maybe I was out shopping ..." " Do you have voice mail?" " No." " Who could have answered, then?" " No one." " But someone there did." "Someone answered the phone when Omar called." "It was a short conversation." "Who could it have been?" " Could it have been your sister?" " No." "She was in Ireland." " The man you had an affair with?" " No!" " Did he have a key?" " Do you think that I'm involved?" "We're just trying to find out who killed your children." "You suspect me?" "Are you crazy?" "Your lover was the reason that Omar disappeared with the children." "Someone received a call from Omar in your home before he abducted the children." "A call no one could have received, according to you." "We think that's perplexing." "Strictly as police, we need to know who your lover is." "Either you help us, or we find out for ourselves." "What's his name?" " Do you still talk to him?" " Yes." "What's his name?" " Fredrik Altfors." " Thanks." " Does he live in Stockholm?" " Yes." " Where is he now?" " In Frankfurt." " When does he get back?" " You wouldn't go to his home?" " His wife knows nothing ..." " We're not going there." " We have no reason to reveal your affair." " Only if it affects the case." " How did you and Fredrik meet?" " Through Omar." " They were..." "They knew each other a long time ago." "Omar picked him up in his taxi." "They became friends and begin to socialize." " With you, too?" " No." "I never met Fredrik before ..." "When Omar had a birthday two years ago, we had a dinner party." "Suddenly Omar decided that he would invite Fredrik." "He was quite impressed by him, I think." "Fredrik is very ..." "What can one say?" "Successful." "And very rich, I think." "I had heard a lot about him;" "so I was curious as well." "So we invited him to our home." "Welcome!" " Theresia." " Fredrik Altfors." " Theresia." "Welcome." " Thanks." "Come in." " This is Linnea." " Hi." "Monica." "Sister ..." "Yes, may he live, Yes, may he live for a hundred years." "Oh sure, he will live" "Oh sure, he will live for a hundred years." "The phone rang at the home of a manager for the System Company." "(government owned chain of liquor stores in Sweden)" "It was the middle of the night, three in the morning:" "He says: "Yes, is this the manager." No, he says "Hello?" ..." "Then he hears someone say:" ""Hey, I wonder what time you open tomorrow."" ""We open at ten," he says and hangs up." "After half an hour it rings again, and the man on the phone is even drunker:" ""I was wondering when you open." "Hikk!"" ""At 10, but as drunk as you are, You can't come in. "" ""I don't want to come in, I want out!"" "I can't tell stories." "I'm not so good at dancing, but I think it's fun." " Is it me who's supposed to lead or you?" " I think it's you, of course..." "Hi!" " Were you unfaithful" " No." "Well... emotionally." "We both knew ... we felt that we needed each other." "Sexually?" "Isn't that enough now?" "How did Omar find out about you?" "Did he find you in the bedroom?" "How did it happen?" "Is it relevant to the investigation?" "No." "Omar was furious, of course." " And then he just disappeared." " You weren't worried?" "Yes." "I felt guilty." "I didn't know what he would do." "The children wondered where Daddy was." "When he returned, he was calmer." "He wanted to see the children." "I didn't know that he would take them away." "He didn't either." "No." "But he took them and was going to run away." "We don't really know what he planned to do with the kids." "But he took the passports." "What else would he need them for?" "Yes, that's what we need to find out." "Can I ask you something else as well?" "Fredrik's wife is terminally ill, a disease." "She's living on borrowed time." "He would be ..." "If she found out about this, it would affect all of us" "You ...?" "Is your affair is still ongoing?" "Yes." "What crap!" "She has two children and a husband who loves her." "And then she's with his friend!" "In their own home." " Hasn't she been paying for it?" " The affair?" "Being unfaithful - is like picking her nose?" "You can't equate adultery with the destruction of an entire family." "And maybe she needed it?" "A fuck." "You are so incredibly vulgar sometimes." "Maybe you need a stiff drink?" "No, you will concentrate on the work you're doing here!" "As I see it, The affair doesn't have anything to do with the murders." "Yes, Ljung." "Hi!" "Yes." "Where are you?" "Hello." "Are you there?" "No ..." "That's okay, you're not bothering me." "We're just sitting here and ..." " We are just looking for a mass murderer." " What about the postcards?" "They sent them so the everyone would believe that Omar had abducted the children." "So the sender must have known about the family's situation." "Otherwise The postcards wouldn't have worked." "He must have known about Theresia's infidelity, the divorce and that Omar had children." "So it must be someone close to Omar and Theresia." "What are you doing here?" "When did you arrive?" "I took the first flight home." "I felt like a shit when we talked." "Of course I wanted to be here." "It's just that I feel like I'm being pulled in all directions." "How are you coping?" "I don't know." "Soon I'll hold the funerals ..." "And afterwards ... maybe we can try to find a way out." "But you can't leave her." "I've longed for you." " Have you been waiting long?" " No." "Were you with Monika?" "No." "I was with the police." "Do they know anything more?" " I told him about you." " About me?" "Yes, about us, that is." "I had to." "They knew about our affair." "How could they know?" "Only you, me and Monika knew about it." "Did she say anything?" " No." "But Omar did." " Omar?" "They found a tape with Omar's voice on it." "On which he said that I was ..." "It sounds completely ..." "Would he have made a tape and sent to the police?" "They are going to contact you." " Why?" " Because ..." " Did you give them my name?" " I had to." "It's ..." "Tessan, sorry." "I know that it's not your fault." "They promised not to go to your home." "I told them about your wife and I think they understand the situation." "Understand?" "If they wanted to destroy us, they could." " Is that Altfors?" " Yeah, who could it be?" "He was supposed to be in Frankfurt?" "Maybe she lied." " Do you think I was wrong?" " About what?" "Theresia's infidelity." "No, not in substance, but you reacted a little strongly." " Was there a particular reason?" " No." "Hello?" "Hey." "No, it's going well." "No, I'm sitting on surveillance with Fanny." "What about you?" "Well ..." "What fun!" "Both of you then?" "Well ..." "No, I'm thinking this will last a while." "Have a good time." "Say hello from me, and pretend I'm there." "Hugs and kisses." "Bye." "Relationships can be rather complicated at times." "Do you live with someone?" "When I got home the other day, there was a fucking hussy in our bed." "In my bed." "What did you do?" "I left." "Have you spoken to him since?" "I sent an text message." "I gave him two days to leave." "It's my apartment." "Should we ask for relief?" "Yes." "Thepoliceareveryreticent aboutwhattheyfoundinMunkhärad, butit 'sclearnow thatthefive peopleinthegrave,were killed..." " Are you listening?" " I think it's about your case." "No, you can turn it off." "Hello." "Would you be so kind." "I missed you." "Beautiful flowers." "I'll just put them in water." " Have you been good?" " Yes, I've been very good." "You've got a nice tan." "Nice." "Sexy." "Thanks." " Shall we have a little wine?" " Let's do this properly." "I'll use the good glasses." " How have you been?" " Good, but a little chaotic ..." " I've been thinking a lot." " I have too." "Forgive me." "I didn't mean to hurt you." "You never do, Yet you do it again and again." "Then you apologize and bring me a bouquet of flowers." "It seems to be completely without consideration for me." "I know, but this time I really understand what I ..." "I went behind your back, so I understand why you were angry." " Angry?" " Yes." "Do you think I overreacted?" "No ... yes, maybe a little." "I wanted to recruit Claes, and I thought he should make the decision, not you." "Yes." "And that was fine." "I'm a little out of touch sometimes." "Can't we just forget about this?" "It's not about Claes." "Not this time." "This is a pattern." "That's your way of treating me." "You give me a bouquet of flowers after you've run me over." "It's so fucking degrading!" "Maybe not the first time or the first few years." "But when it becomes a lifelong pattern, it hurts." " I don't do it deliberately." " I know that you probably didn't." "It's second nature to you,   that's just the way you are." " I can change." " I don't think you can." " Then you'll have to help me." " But it's me who's feeling miserable!" " What should I do then?" " Get help!" "Therapy." " Therapy?" "You can go alone or with me ..." " Or ..." " You and I get therapy?" " Is that your suggestion?" " It's not a suggestion." " It's one of two alternatives." " And what is the other option?" "No, Actually, I think I want to sleep alone here tonight." "How are you?" " Well ..." " Have you had breakfast?" "She already stopped by ..." "Dinkan." "Good." "I thought we'd talk about your future." " Can I stay here?" " No, unfortunately" "Why not?" "This is a temporary workplace, and it's just that: a workplace." "But I can help you." "I've done it before." "No, it's not possible, Cliff." "Unfortunately." "But I'll get you a volunteer companion who can help you." " A kind of probation?" " No, I know a great guy." "He'll help you find a better home somewhere else." "Can't you help me?" "I would like that, but right now we're working day and night." "Later, perhaps." "Sorry." "Grimme." "Yes, he's here." "One moment." "It's your father he wants to talk to you." "If you don't want to, just say no." "Hello." "Why?" "When?" "Yes." "Bye." "He wants to meet me at a coffee shop here in town." "I can go with you if you want." "No, it isn't necessary." "Take this." "You know how it works, right?" "Call me, it's the first number." "Or the boat." "I want you to come back as soon as you're done." "Do you promise?" " Do you have money?" " What?" "Do you have money?" " No." " Let's see ..." "Now you can both drink coffee and eat sandwiches." "What are you doing?" " I'm looking for... pumping systems." " How did it go at home yesterday?" "It all worked out." "It all worked out ..." "How?" "Should they go to war against every country where there are terrorists?" "If Al Qaeda settled down in Wales, should they bomb London, then?" "Available information on Fredrik Altfors:" ""no criminal record. runs a small technology company together with two others."" ""Not registered with the bailiff, Lived outside Swedish for several years." (The Crown's Bailiff Authority handles all debt collection)" ""Has Swedish and French Dual citizenship."" " No private credit history." " Exciting." "Are you ready to eat now?" "Yes." "But how can a person whose marital status is unmarried have a dying wife?" " Isn't he married?" " No." " Living together?" " It would have been registered." " So did he fool her?" " Or she's fooling us." "She might have made up the name." "There's someone up there who wants to talk with you." "Theresia gave me the address." "She said   that you wanted to speak with me." " Do you know what this is about?" "We are investigating a murder case where your and Theresia's affair has become relevant." "I understand that, but in what way is it relevant ...?" "How did you meet Omar Lundberg?" "We met in a taxi." "He was driving the taxi." "It's a long drive from Arlanda." "We had a great conversation." "Then I called him when we needed courier delivery permanently at the firm." "Eventually, We got to know each other and I was introduced to the family." "What happened is absolutely shocking." " I haven't taken it in yet." " What?" "That he is ..." " That they are dead." " How do you know about that?" " Theresia told me." " When?" "When I was in Frankfurt." "You told her." " Under strict confidentiality." " When did you last see Omar?" "It's a little embarrassing, but he caught Theresia... and me..." "In his bed?" "Fanny ..." " Continue." " I know that it's immoral." "I'm not proud of our affair." "It just happened, we couldn't help ourselves." "Maybe we could have handled it in a more open and straightforward way for everyone involved." "Especially with your wife." "She's seriously ill, we have been told." " Does she know about the affair now?" " No." "So the last time you saw Omar, was when you got caught?" "Yes." "He disappeared after that." "I was probably the last person he wanted to talk with." "Where were you when Omar picked kids at the recreation center?" " At the firm." " Did you see Theresia on that day?" " No." " Can anyone confirm that?" "That was a year ago!" "I don't know if anyone would remember." " Are you staying in Stockholm?" " I'm needed, so I'll be here." "That will be fine." "Thank you." "Yes ..." "He insists that he has a wife." " Yes." " Maybe she's særbo?" "(særbo = Living Apart Together)" "They may have been together for so long that he regards her as his wife." "He said explicitly to Theresia that he was married." "Otherwise, he's stupid." "He has to know that we can check on his marital status." "Everyone can't have complete control all the time." "Thank goodness." "He didn't think that we would mention his wife." "Should we watch him?" "Yes." "What the hell is it with this lighter?" " What was that with Fanny?" " It's private." " Doesn't he have dual citizenship?" " Yes." "French?" "The bullets we found in Munkhärad may come from a French Manhurin-revolver." " They're from France" " They're rare in Sweden." "I've only seen one once before: in the Palme case." "How are you?" "You like sausage and mashed potatoes, huh?" "Where did you get hold of that?" "I got it from Claes." "At home it's all right if we shout at each other, but ..." "It was different when your mother was alive." "She ..." "She knew everything." "She took care of everything, but..." "I don't know anything." " Don't you like sausages?" " No, I'm not hungry." " Me neither." " Why don't you ever talk about mom?" "She's dead." "Not for me." "What the hell...?" "But we have it good the way we have it, right?" "Sure, we have it pretty good now with Jerker and Inez?" "It works just fine." "Where are you going?" "I'm just going to the bathroom." "This is the last thing said on the tape." "There's a lot of crackling at the beginning ..." "Here we go:" "...sabotageourown efforts." "...bombedal-Madain." "geneticengineeringwithout... a.." "...suchas theVariolavirus." "...havetoldyou before." "Sorry." "Variola virus?" "A few years ago, I met some Researchers in Canberra, Australia." "They could produce a a genetically modified virus   which could reduce the population of wild cats and foxes." "By limiting their fertility." "The virus was suposed to be harmless to humans." "But the project ended in what is every geneticists worst nightmare." "Having produced a deadly virus that there is no antivirus for." "With a mortality rate that could wipe out 70% of the world's population." "Anthrax is nothing in comparison." "Even HIV and Ebola viruses look benign." "Maybe that was what Omar was doing in Iraq?" "Producing a synthetic virus?" "He was a researcher - Maybe he was a molecular biologist?" "Has Theresia said anything about this?" " No." " But didn't they do weapons inspections?" " After the Kuwait war." " Yes." "When they thoroughly checked every suspicious lab?" "Yes, those they had access to." "Yes, but by then Omar had already fled." "We only know when he arrived here." "The weapons inspectors probably had lists of the scientists who were involved?" " How do we find out what they knew?" " But that was ten years ago!" " Weren't they led by a Swede?" " Yes, up to '97." "Erik knew one of Ekéus' employees." " Is there anyone you can get hold of?" " I think so." "Doubtful." "It's alarmingly easy to obtain lethal microorganisms." "There are labs that sell things like that worldwide, publicly." "Smallpox virus." "Ebola, tularemia ..." "It is said that Saddam Hussein obtained seven boxes of anthrax before the Gulf War." "From American Type Culture Collection." "Completely legal." "Then his researchers turned it into lethal weapons." "And one of them could have been Omar?" "That's great!" "This came by courier." " When?" " Just now." "Omar was involved with a molecular biology research facility on GMOs - genetically modified organisms." "For biological warfare, presumably, considering the country he researched in." "Excerpts from the report by the UN's Weapons Inspectors, in the early '90s." "On page 17, it says the lab was located in Al-Mada'in and lists everyone who worked there." "There's information about a researcher named Omar Khusbak." " What do you mean by "was"?" " The lab was bombed." "By the United States during the Kuwait war." " Omar was reportedly killed." " But he didn't die." " He fled here." " But why?" " For political reasons, according to his wife." " Maybe that was just an absolute lie." "In order to cover up another purpose." "So he could build a terrorist cell." " To continue with what he was doing." " They found nothing there." "They found a mobile lab!" "Could Omar have been working to produce a deadly virus here?" "He had the knowledge and maybe the opportunity." " And ended up in a grave." " What are we talking about here?" "So maybe Omar was working to produce biological weapons in Iraq?" " And maybe he continued his work." " Here in Sweden?" "Sweden, despite its pompous international appearance   is a small and remote country, perfect if you want to devote youself to volatile things." "No one would look for bin Laden here." "Maybe he was in a network?" " Al Qaida?" " Yes, or a fraternal organization." " There are many to choose from." " Wait...!" "If this is true, it would put us on a completely different level." "Then we need to call in SAPO, The Ministry of Defence, Interpol, and ..." "Excuse me." "That's a damn sweeping hypothesis." "Nothing indicates that he was working on it here." "He's a mole   molecular biologist and possibly worked on it in Iraq." "If he was involved in this - why was he killed?" "Maybe he knew too much?" "And his children - did they also know too much?" " Grimme." " Hey, it's Cliff's father." "Do you have the boy in there?" "He was supposed to meet you." "Didn't he?" "But he ..." "He disappeared." "I don't know where he went." "I thought he would come back here to you." "Damn!" " When are you going to contact Selbring?" " Any time now." " Cliff is gone." "What time is it?" " Ten." " He isn't with his father?" " No." " If he isn't?" " Could he have run away?" "With your mobile." "Maybe he sold it to buy something to smoke?" " That isn't impossible." " Well, that's it." "Are you coming home for the funeral?" "If you want me there." "Yes, I will." "Maybe not there, but afterwards." "What else can I hold on to?"
