This one?
It looks dirty.
Help me find something else.
What else is there?
It's dinner with mom. You know how important it is for her.
Are you going to wear that?
Yes.
Where is yours then?
On Tattarbacken, in the attic.
Should I bring it down?
Yes.
You can't wear that! You're crazy!
Annika.
Michelle Carlsson has been murdered.
Sweden's sexiest host.
How?
So many obsequious questions...
They were doing a TV production at Sörmland.
"The Castle"? Anne's working on it.
Anne Snapphane? Call her.
I'm trying to get hold of Patrik. He was there, but he's not answering.
Was that Bertil?
Yes.
Berra will be there in five minutes.
Call as soon as you're there. Bye!
Don't we have anything that's clean?
What is it?
There are 20 people waiting out on Gällnö.
For you, not me!
Go and have fun with your friends.
They're my aunts.
Well...
Mommy has to work. I'll call you later.
Bye, Mom.
Goodbye.
If you go now...
What a fucking mom you are.
I will never forgive you.
Second race: Sentinel Knox.
Number three: Victory Hill.
Putte Top Line?
I don't think so.
My grandmother is faster than Putte Top Line.
Don't touch it!
Michelle Carlsson has been found dead
during the filming of "The Castle".
Police suspect that she has been murdered but declined to comment further.
Ten people were at the site and all are being interrogated by the police.
You must stay in your room.
You've said that a hundred times.
Thank you for reminding me.
I don't believe I killed anybody.
Now it's May Day. We're planning a party.
Don't you agree?
Hush!
What?
Anne.
It's me.
Are you still at The Castle?
Hello? Are you okay?
Wait.
What happened? Did you see anything?
Who were the others?
I have you and Patrik, the rest I don't know.
Anne? Hello? Are you still there?
Give me your phone.
Did she keep it?
I must call my daughter first.
No, you can't. Give it here.
What the hell is this?
We can't get through.
Do you have an aspirin?
Please, Karin.
I can't get the image out of my head,
how she just... lay there.
We must not talk.
What?
We can't talk about it.
I know, but I'm exhausted. I can't even call my daughter.
Why can't we go home?
Haven't you been listening?
Why?
They think it's one of us.
Don't you understand that?
One of us?
Do you think that too?
It was obscene, lying there in her blood
with that strange look on her face.
Please, Anne.
I can't do this right now.
You must go to your room.
Go now.
If no one is a suspect, can't you say who they are.
Of course. Yes, when you say so. Thank you.
Did you see anything?
Just a bunch of journalists.
The Castle is behind the bushes.
There's only grass, gravel, branches.
I'm getting out of here.
Vehicle registry, please.
Well, I have: GTR 062
HXK 084
Good work, Annika.
Yes, go on.
Hey.
We have Patrick there, in the thick of it.
It should give us an advantage.
These were in the Michelle Carlsson file.
Please read them.
No thanks.
Weren't we sued?
It was settled.
All right.
Three to go, then we are home.
Ten Little Indians... I trust Patrik.
Well, maybe.
It's your turn now.
Come on.
Can I borrow your phone?
You've already had your call.
In here.
Recording the interview with Snapphane, Ann...
Anne.
It's Monday, April 30, and the time is
12:15.
You received a phone call this morning.
It was my personal phone.
I had forgotten I had it.
Who did you speak to?
I did not respond before he came and took it.
Why are you here?
Well, this is an interview, isn't it?
I'm sorry.
I was a studio hostess.
How was the recording?
Yes, it was a recording.
But something usually goes wrong. It's no big deal.
No big deal when someone is shot in the head?
I didn't mean it like that.
What did you mean?
The weather.
It's hard to film exteriors in the wind, the sound is crap.
So all went well except that the wind blew?
No, it was later.
Michelle was angry and then I...
Everyone was bad-tempered.
There was friction?
You must answer verbally.
Yes!
Who was arguing?
I don't know... Everyone.
Was someone arguing with Michelle?
It... I can't remember.
Were you arguing with Michelle?
I'm celebrating May Day with my four year-old daughter.
When do I get out of here?
I can hold you for 96 hours.
Now, answer the questions.
What did you do last night?
Where are you going?
Go back.
Annika Bengtzon, Kvällspressen.
My colleague Patrik Nilsson is in there.
I want to talk to him.
That's not possible.
Put it down or I'll take it!
Is he under arrest?
No.
The police may not prevent journalists from talking to their employer.
Freedom of the Press.
Does that apply to all journalists?
Are there more?
Barbara something.
Also Kvällspressen.
Hansson?
What the hell is this?
She wants to talk to the journalists.
Why?
It's in... the Press Act.
That's a new one.
Did you see it for yourself?
Thanks for coming.
Thank you.
Did you get anything, Berra?
Pictures of the killer.
I have another name.
It just gets better and better.
Hundred per cent.
Good. Keep it up.
Yes. And a bottle of Riesling for them.
Who the hell sent Barbara there?
"Well-know investigative journalist suspected of murder."
What a bloody drama, huh?
It could be something.
Grandma!
Hey.
Deserting the family on May Day...
Can't you control your wife?
You know they are not married, Märta.
Yes, yes...
Writing about violence and crime; it's no job for a woman, huh?
Thomas, isn't it sad,
that you had to pack everything yourself.
Well, I did forget the sleeping bags.
It's just you and the kids. You can take the guest room.
And now, you just relax.
You do that. Have you met Mr. Sture?
No.
Did you bring the dress I bought?
She's probably sent something finer than that.
Yes. Er, no, though...
If she can't wash either...
Sture can. He can do laundry.
Where did you find him?
On the net.
You can borrow him for a week, if you want. Sture!
Come and sit here.
Yes.
Holger?
Is he a new one?
No.
I see.
Michelle Carlsson has been found dead in a mobile control room.
Shot in the head, died instantly.
Any signs of a struggle?
I can't comment on that.
Has anyone been identified as a suspect?
No, as I said, no one.
No comments on the witnesses.
TTV reports that ten people have been detained.
I will not comment on the witnesses.
How many there are;
who they are; what they have or have not seen.
Thank you.
The witnesses?
Didn't you hear what I said?
Karin Bellhorn, Stefan Axelsson, Bambi Rosenberg, Sebastian Follin,
Hannah Persson, Anne Snapphane, Patrik Nilsson, Barbara Hansson.
That was only eight.
The ninth manages the mobile studio van.
What have you got to lose?
What do I have to gain?
You won't hear me nag.
Okay then.
Gunnar Antonsson.
And the tenth...?
You promised to stop nagging.
I lied.
You will give me the tenth.
What do we have?
Yeah... what do we have?
Karin Bellhorn, producer. Anne Snapphane, studio hostess.
Gunnar Antonsson, the OB van.
Where Michelle was found.
Stefan Axelsson, picture producer.
And the van manager Follin, Sebastian.
Articles from our archives.
That's all we have on him?
They're all about Michelle.
He must have other clients.
He was totally dependent on Michelle.
And then there's Bambi Rosenberg.
Bimbo-Bambi from "Lover's Nest."
We have pictures of her with Michelle.
Are they friends?
Maybe they were more than friends.
And then there's Hannah Persson. I'll start to look her up now.
Maybe she was working at the restaurant.
Are you looking at the same picture as we are?
Wow, wow, wow.
Hannah Persson,
secretary in Sörmlands National Socialists.
Michelle was an immigrant?
Her mother was from Lithuania.
Is it in Härjedalen, or...?
We have poor reception. I can't hear you.
And Barbara and Patrik.
How do we handle them?
Two of our journalists there.
Can Patrik be called a journalist?
Junior reporter, perhaps.
I heard that.
Barbara and Patrick can't talk.
Do we have more on Snapphane?
I haven't made contact.
Annika, is it a problem for you with Snapphane?
No.
Okay.
Then we'll carry on. All that drama.
I want the names of all ten witnesses.
I just wanted to say hi to the kids.
And to you.
Yes...
Michelle Carlsson was born in Gränna and quickly became a celebrated TV personality.
During her short career, she worked in
both entertainment and community journalism.
Despite criticism for her lack of a journalism background,
she became popular with audiences and won respect among colleagues.
My name is Michelle Carlsson.
Are Thomas and the children at home?
No, in Gällnö.
I would have been there.
Don't you hate Gällnö?
And Gällnö hates me.
Which one do you think it is?
Barbara.
What is she doing there?
Otherwise, I think its Patrik.
He'll do anything for a series.
The tenth is quite interesting.
Where should I invest my money?
Why don't we know anything about him?
Or her.
I'm going for a walk.
Should I go along and keep watch?
No, that's not necessary.
Where are you going?
Just to the bathroom.
Do you have paper?
No, that's fine.
Patrik?
What are you doing here?
Why haven't we heard from you?
I would if I could.
Good thing you can talk to me now.
Sure.
Ah, come on.
I don't need you here.
We're working for the same paper.
So what?
What are you looking for?
Fuck you!
Hi.
Hi. Come in.
You shouldn't be here.
What's happening? How are you?
I don't know. I have a headache.
Have you talked to Miranda?
No. Well, just briefly.
She's with my mother in Lund.
I was going to take her to Riddarholmen.
What's Patrick doing here?
He's here with Bimbo-Bambi.
Is that true?
A rather unsuccessful date.
What really happened?
How often have you heard me moan that I hate Michelle Carlsson?
Now she's damn-well dead!
The police seem to think it's me!
Hush, you've done nothing. Take it easy. Who thinks that?
Anne?
What is it?
Hello, Anne?
Other than you, Bambi and Patrick, Barbara and Karin were here,
and Sebastian, Stefan, Hannah the Nazi and the mobile van guy, but who else?
What?
Who is missing?
What the hell!
I'm just... Goodbye.
Who is the tenth?
John Essex.
You're interfering with an investigation.
I can arrest you for that.
It's okay. I'll leave now.
Let's go.
Yes, yes, yes.
I've got it. Hang on.
That was Annika. Can we get more people on it?
Not out in the country. Perhaps in Stockholm.
Is it worth it?
John Essex was the tenth person.
Essex? What's he doing there?
He was the secret guest.
Get me the printing company.
"Pop Star Is the Tenth Witness"
God, you scared me.
Looking for something?
No.
Well, uh... wine.
I can't sleep.
No...
You want some coffee?
Are you drinking coffee now?
No, tea.
I mean tea.
I'm making some for myself, so...
No, it's not necessary.
Oh, God...!
Damn! Annika, wake up.
They're on the move.
Where's Bertil?
No idea.
Bertil!
Witnesses!
Come on!
Damn it!
Move out of the way!
Annika Bengtzon, Kvällspressen. What was your relationship with Michelle?
What we had as a relationship?
What business is it of yours?
Move!
Bambi, how are you?
It was so bloody awful.
The worst thing that ever happened to me.
How well did you know Michelle?
She was my best friend.
What will you do now?
I don't know.
What happened yesterday?
What you wrote about her...
You were really hurting her.
Now she is dead.
Congratulations.
Did you know her secrets?
What will you do now, Bambi?
What's happening in there?
I can't say anything.
You must have something to say.
Should you or I?
He won't say anything.
Patrik, come on!
Gunnar Antonsson?
Mm.
Annika Bengtzon, Kvällspressen.
Can I ask you some questions?
I don't have much to contribute.
They said I could go if I wanted,
but I can't bring my van.
Did you know Michelle?
Yes.
She was a good girl.
Let no one say anything else.
Would they do that?
Yes.
Everyone complains about the TV host. There's always something wrong, never good.
They are so jealous,
want to be on the box themselves.
You too?
No.
It would look like it, huh?
What happened?
Was it some kind of party?
Yes, it was...
It was the closing party for the team.
I have decided to do a very good interview with you.
I want a production meeting tomorrow before we leave.
The three of us.
I gotta run at six.
The van is due in Dalarna.
Stefan is staying. Find out when he's going.
Stefan?
Isn't he going home?
No, I think he's staying.
Why?
Stefan?
Are you staying here?
Cheers.
You're not going home?
Hello, everybody, and welcome to the "Castle"!
How are you?
Good to see you.
Shall we sit here?
Let go!
Michelle, what the hell...?
Get lost!
What the hell is it with him?
Dear Friends...
Hey, everybody.
What a fantastic week we've had.
You are amazing, best in the industry.
You too, Michelle.
If you insist... No, but you are really the best.
Thank you very much.
Cheers!
Gunnar, I want to give you this.
You didn't need to.
A small gift as a thank you.
Hope to see you again soon.
You are a brick, Gunnar.
A warm round of applause for Gunnar.
Sad, but true.
Then I knew nothing more until Anne woke me up.
Anne?
She found Michelle.
What happened after the film crew left for Stockholm?
Why am I here, when everyone else has gone?
Answer the questions, and we'll see.
What if I just go?
I can ask the prosecutor to arrest you.
It was not me!
Anne, listen to me.
Your fingerprints are on the gun.
You found Michelle.
Only you can't explain where you were when she died.
It was not me.
What did you say?
It was not me!
All right.
We'll start again.
Now you tell me what you did during the evening of the murder.
Anne?
I am here.
What did you do during the evening of the murder?
I realized from the beginning that she had a special talent.
And when I started my company Build & Create,
she became a big, big star.
We planned to launch a major international project, so this is...
extra sad.
We were as one.
And now I feel really...
half.
Could you keep a little perspective here?
Sebastian Follin, Build & Create. Thanks for listening.
Surely, we can expect some critical thinking from the assembled press.
That's not a great thinker who has gone out into the world.
Annika, what do you say?
It is clearly no Mahatma Gandhi we are grieving.
This circus is pure embarrassment.
We should have more important things to do.
Now my taxi has arrived.
Did you have an interview with Essex?
The bomb will not explode here.
Did you get any pictures?
We'll do it later.
Wake up, Dad!
Wake up!
Stop it.
Grandma says you should wake up.
Yes, she does. Good morning.
Can't you take them for a while?
I must prepare the food.
Guests are coming soon.
Who are the guests?
It's just a few neighbours.
Ellinor?
Won't it be nice to see a few people?
When did you invite her?
Would you have asked my ex-wife if Annika was here?
Don't be silly, now; smarten up a bit.
Yes, yes! Now you can!
Kalle, Ellen!
Hey, you have reached Thomas.
Leave a message after the beep.
My name is Karin Bellhorn and I'm responsible for this production.
I speak for the whole of Zero Television when I say
that we mourn one of our most valued employees.
Michelle Carlsson was not only a colleague, but also a friend.
I have spoken with management in London,
and we will be holding a televised memorial service for Michelle.
You are all invited. I will return with time and place.
Thank you very much.
Why do you think she was murdered?
When is the memorial?
Have you been questioned?
Now the Nazi girl.
You knew Michelle Carlsson!
Are you a Swedish Democrat?
No. I'm just Swedish.
Do the police think the murder is linked to your political views?
You're so disgusting!
If I were you, I'd kill myself!
Fucking pussy!
Need help?
Yes please.
You are Annika Bengtzon?
Mm.
You work with Anders Schyman?
Yes. You know him?
No, not really.
Why do you think someone wanted to murder Michelle Carlsson?
Michelle, she...
She was...
good on the box.
Good for the company.
Gave us good publicity.
The public face.
She didn't mind all the attention.
Don't let that fool you.
Michelle was good at it.
Very talented.
She knew that gossip is not news.
It's entertainment.
Take my card. Call if there's anything.
Thank you.
Annika?
Everyone's been released now, except Anne.
Here. Take my car. Olle will give me a lift.
My police source says it'll be a while before she's released.
Okay.
It'll be all right.
Hey.
Olle?
Hold on.
The police called. We can collect some seized equipment.
What is it?
No idea. It belongs to Kvällspressen.
Should I send for it?
Yes, go ahead.
Tore?
Bring it directly to me.
All right.
Thomas.
It's me.
What do you want?
I've called a few times, but...
Are the children there?
They're boating with Holger.
Are they wearing lifejackets?
You know what?
Go to hell.
Cheers!
Nice to just sit like this.
Silence.
Hmm.
Silence at the dinner table.
Silence in the car.
Silence in bed.
It wasn't all bad.
Don't rewrite history.
It's nice to not fight.
We never cared enough to fight.
So, how are you?
Well, I'm...
good.
Anne?
Anne, the car is down there.
I don't want to talk to anyone.
Do you know what happened?
Why were you kept the longest?
Can you turn around, Anne?
We can go to my place.
Aren't Thomas and the children there?
Gällnö.
Lucky you.
Why do you say that?
You hate Gällnö.
Yes.
What happened there?
I don't wan to talk about it.
We can talk later, okay?
You got wine at home?
Aren't you having any?
No, but you have some.
This damn business.
I should have been a producer long ago, not a studio hostess.
These days I just make coffee.
Why weren't you?
I don't know.
You have no idea how much I hate the bloody place.
And there's Michelle...
just gliding through life.
I should have quit a long time ago.
What would you do instead then?
Supermarket checkout.
In Pite.
So that everyone can truly say that you aren't trying to be something you're not.
It's a good idea.
The uniform would suit you. Orange is your color.
I'm actually trying to sit here and not feel sorry for myself.
I don't want to talk about it.
I know.
Is it okay if I sleep here?
Sure.
Thank you.
What about the murder weapon?
Have you checked that?
Don't you ever sleep?
Fingerprints, then?
Yes, a lot.
Everyone.
Michelle, too?
Number 62!
You don't think it's a suicide?
No, we don't.
Essex then?
Checked and dismissed.
Who do you think it is?
Who do you think?
I? Well...
It's not Anne or Gunnar,
and Barbara and Patrick are well out of it?
Really?
Anne couldn't do it, and Gunnar is so neat.
Neat is not an alibi.
It fits most serial killers,
and being your friend isn't any kind of alibi.
Have you already disclosed it?
To whom? When?
The Nazi girl has been detained.
Have you read the Daily News?
Some damned interesting facts about Snapphane.
She competed for the program host's job with Michelle.
Imagine if we could have written that story.
Although they didn't have Essex.
How did you snag him?
He doesn't give interviews in Sweden.
There are other ways.
Give it to Bambi.
I'll take the police and forensics.
Annika?
I'll take the witnesses and Michelle.
Take Snapphane too!
Annika?
Come and see me.
You're fired.
Close the door.
What's that about?
Mind your own business.
What's this?
The police took one of our cameras.
How could they let this go?
They must have finished with it.
Patrik took them.
Or Barbara.
No, this is Patrik. He was looking for something.
It's in the pictures. Somebody was snooping.
I know. That was me.
It is her weapon. That's why they took her in.
We can't hold back these images.
They go to press tonight.
Keep the change!
Hell!
There are clips from all the programs. Guests, artists, everything.
And I want to...
Sorry, messy morning.
When did they release you?
What?
When were you released?
You must have something to say.
Come on, we're short on time.
Everyone knows what to do?
I don't know what to do.
Log into everything, so we can string something together for the program.
Well, jump to it!
"Program"...
New name the memorial service.
Shape up.
Oh my God.
What the hell are you doing?
Sebastian, calm down.
Anything that applies to Michelle is to go through me.
Do we have a contract or not?
Everything for Michelle goes through me!
Call my secretary for an appointment. Thank you.
Didn't you hear what I said?
It's my responsibility!
I heard what you said. Now, I want you to go.
Thank you and come back tomorrow.
Yes.
Hello?
No thanks!
I'll take that again.
Welcome to "The Castle".
My name is Michelle Carlsson.
Good. A little more to the left.
A little more to the left?
There?
What are you doing here?
Michelle trusted me
since I am also well-known.
Have you seen the "Lover's Nest"?
Mm.
You were there with Patrik?
Are you working with him?
We are on the same paper.
Michelle was having a really tough recording session.
She asked me to come for support.
Did she have a problem with anyone?
Yes.
Type all.
For example...?
Stefan.
She felt manipulated by him.
Why?
They had something.
Were they together?
I don't know.
That was long ago.
Why did she feel manipulated?
He was a big shit.
When she told him she was pregnant, he raved about his wife.
Michelle was expecting?
Yes, but she had...
An abortion.
Ah.
But...
that was a long time ago.
I don't know exactly when.
Were there others she had problems with?
There was this...
assistant.
She was so damned shitty.
She had done some kind of leadership course.
Anne Snapphane?
That's it.
She was obnoxious.
But Michelle was always very professional.
People could be so jealous,
even though they were making money on her.
Especially the disgusting manager, Sebastian.
He's probably happy. He's cashing-in even more, now that she's dead.
It wouldn't surprise me if he was the one who did it.
I was probably the only one
who really knew Michelle.
Is this all HD makeup?
I don't know. It's not mine.
What do you want?
When I get back to Stockholm, I'm getting another manager.
What?
Because you signed-up that Barbara.
She's sick in the head.
We make a lot of money on her.
I don't want that snoop near me. Nor you either.
What do you mean?
You're fired. Bye!
What the hell would you do without me?
More champagne for us; because we are so good!
Cheers!
Cheers, everyone!
Cheers to you.
Cheers to you, Sebastian.
Cheers, Sebastian.
Shove it up your ass.
Your ex-manager?
Cheers, Bambi.
You are so fucked, man.
And where did you get that idea?
The bus to Stockholm is leaving soon.
It's time to go
For them to go.
Who could have done something like this?
So she fired him?
She'd done it a long time ago.
He was really unpleasant.
Spying on her and...
He was kind of obsessed.
You?
You're needed in Accounts.
Now!
How quickly you responded. Who did you think it was?
No one.
Has something happened?
Somebody here wants to talk to you.
Firstly, I'm here to say that I take care of all of Michelle's interests.
And that means?
That it's me you call.
And then you can have access to much much more
if you do business with Build & Create.
At present, we don't pay for news.
No, it's not gossip I'm selling.
What do you sell then?
The truth about Michelle.
Didn't you get fired?
She kicked me out once a week.
She didn't make it without me.
She was like a child.
Listen up!
What I meant to say was...
You Guys are good. Thanks for all your hard work.
Cheers! You're the best!
Cheers!
The bus leaves in ten minutes.
It's time to go.
Champagne!
Karin's stock.
Here we go, okay? We do!
Can't you stop the noise?
Carry on. You've got talent.
You are so damned disgusting.
What did you just say?
Take care, it's not good for your career.
He's just old and grumpy.
Then this stranger raised a weapon.
Anne, come on. Let me take a picture.
Look at the camera.
Stefan, you are so damn sour.
Look at the camera.
Come on now!
You should take pictures of me.
Give me that.
It's not loaded, right?
Holy shit!
Are you crazy?
What was that?
So Michelle and John Essex disappeared together?
Everything about Michelle's personal life is available to the payer.
As if you haven't earned enough on her already?
Maybe I should talk to your boss.
He will recognize what this is worth.
Yes, you do it.
Stop raking!
Make-up!
It must be very busy now.
Yes.
But it's my job responding to press enquiries.
I gather Michelle was quite unpopular.
Is it true?
No, I wouldn't say that.
But in a project like this there is always friction.
It's easy to burn bridges.
The party was Michelle's final celebration as a host.
Not because she died;
she would have had other duties.
This may seem strange,
but she was beginning to lose control.
She became irritable and difficult to work with.
She was not so young anymore either.
But she was only 34
The camera adds five pounds, ten years, and a life of sorrows.
She was a wonderful host.
In her own way.
Absolutely one of our best.
Do you smoke?
No.
I need a cigarette.
Anne.
It's Lilly at reception.
The police are here.
It's best you come down.
Cemeteries are full of indispensable people.
But the program was built around her?
Michelle Carlsson did not create television. Television created Michelle Carlsson.
Now there'll be a new one. Younger, more attractive.
Appearance is not that important.
Not what you might think.
A symmetrical face is important.
Right and left facial halves must be alike.
The distance between the eyes must not be too narrow. To much like a pig.
Then there's the stuff you can't put your finger on...
Such as...?
If you come across on the screen or not.
You would be good on TV.
Hard to say without a camera test, but the camera would probably love you.
You have...
No, privacy is the wrong word.
Your gaze.
You become pensive.
What have you experienced?
You took charge of the revolver at the castle.
That's right.
What did you do with it?
What the hell are you doing?
Are you nuts?
You're drunk.
Go to bed.
No, I want to talk first.
Talk then.
About "The Women's Couch."
Oh, my God!
Why now?
That was five years ago.
Why did Michelle get the job and not me?
You know I'm 100 percent more qualified than she was.
My audition was fantastic. She was a damn joke.
I have a much better resume.
I am a journalist.
I have experience... serious experience.
You may not have been with the right people.
In that respect, Michelle probably has a more impressive resume.
And she made sure she talked a little to people about you.
Spread a little concern.
No one takes a chance on people who are neurotic and drink too much.
Go to bed now, Anne.
You should pick up your little girl tomorrow.
And where is Anne now?
We know each other.
We're questioning Anne Snapphane.
You picked up Hannah Persson, the Nazi.
She's been released. Okay?
Hi, my name is Annika.
I'm looking for Hannah Persson. Is she your mom?
Can I come in?
Damn kid.
Annika Bengtzon, Kvällspressen.
Is Hannah at home?
She doesn't want to talk to you.
She can speak for herself.
What the hell! It doesn't work.
Move.
Move over, you son of a bitch.
Annika Bengtzon, Evening Press.
What the hell do you want?
Just a few questions.
What were you doing at the party?
I was invited...
I don't think so.
...on the program.
Three fucking feminist lesbians would discuss politics.
One was completely mad and flew at me and hit me until I started to bleed.
So I stayed at the party.
Hi, honey.
Can't you go and fix a sandwich? Then we'll play a little football later.
I'm just trying to get rid of this lady.
Off you go.
Why did you go around with a loaded gun?
Would you shoot someone?
What would you do with it?
You brought a loaded gun into...
For fuck's sake!
That fucking bitch took it and never saw it again.
What the hell are you doing?
Take it easy, nothing happened.
Go to bed.
Don't bring me into this.
Not if you go to bed.
Knock it off, Karin.
Excuse me.
Sorry.
Michelle, turn up the music. It's becoming a bit of a drag.
I'll fucking talk to her.
Then he came in with the damn pictures.
Guess what they're doing in there.
Who?
Essex and Michelle.
Let me see.
What the fuck are you saying?
This could be a gold mine for you.
It's the scoop of the year.
You are such a damn shit.
Get out of here!
What the fuck are you doing?
You are fucking crazy, Stefan!
Keep your mouth shut! Do you understand?
Fuck you!
Michelle!
What are you looking at?
What the fuck have you done?
Watch out that I don't kick in your face, you fucking Nazi whore.
He is the most unpleasant, vile, disgusting asshole I have met in my entire life.
They thought they knew who I was.
You haven't told me why you took the pistol.
I wanted to test them.
See how tough they were.
How did you get it?
They are not sold here in Sweden.
You must have said something to the police.
Go to hell.
Explained to them...
how you got it into the country.
Hi, you have reached Anne Snapphane at Zero Productions. Please leave a message.
It's me again. Give me a call.
Annika, the article on Michelle Carlsson?
20 Minutes.
20 Minutes?
Just as thrilling as the one on the Nazi?
I wrote what I could.
She is suspected of weapons offences and acknowledges that the weapon is hers.
Barely. Barely.
Have they arrested Snapphane?
No.
And Annika's involvement?
She's providing information.
We must have something we can use.
Damn, they released Essex.
It would be nice to have a bit of dirt and glamor, right?
What do the police say?
Nothing so far.
He was hungover in some limo on the way to the airport.
It's too bad, Sweet Pea.
If Schyman hadn't been so wordy,
I could have written several columns on it.
From jealous drama with a rock star to gun ownership in Rinkeby.
As if that was something new.
Stefan?
This is my home.
Get out of here.
I know you broke the furniture at The Castle.
What really happened?
Stefan, are you still here?
Hello, everybody, and welcome to the "Castle"!
Come on, ladies.
Michelle?
Can we talk?
Not now.
Michelle. Please...
Why are you avoiding me?
I'm not.
Really?
Hey... When can we meet?
We should not be seen.
We shouldn't see each other again.
I've been trying to speak to you all evening.
I told Sanna.
I'm moving out.
It's true.
Why should it be true this time?
Can't we stop pretending now, Stefan?
It will never happen. Right?
It's over now.
Have you met someone else?
You no longer need me.
Now that things are going well for you.
I just greased the wheels for you.
How the hell can you say that?
Have you met some real bigshot?
I have never been so in love.
I never hoped so much, never waited so long as with you.
I wanted the baby.
But you know what?
It's over now.
Strange, huh?
For so long, I believed it would never be over.
That I would live like this for the rest of our lives.
I would love someone who doesn't love me.
Like a punishment.
But it's finished.
I'll move out. I promise.
We'll have that baby.
I promise.
Good luck, Stefan.
Hey. I thought I heard the car.
Hi.
Annika Bengtzon, Kvällspressen.
You wrote about Michelle Carlsson.
I never met her, so...
Ugh, it's terrible.
Uncomfortable.
Are you coming in then?
Yes.
Hello?
Hey.
I... have been waiting for you.
Well...
I have such a damn headache.
I've sat and watched Michelle Carlsson all fucking day.
Get it?
Why haven't you called?
What are you looking for?
I don't know.
How much have you been drinking?
Do you have any aspirin?
No.
What did the police want?
Anne, you have to talk to me.
So you can write about it in the newspaper?
I'm just writing what you say.
I'm trying to help you here.
If you've done something you have to say so.
Do you think it's me?
Goddamn you!
It doesn't matter what I think.
Tomorrow, Kvällspressen will run a picture of you with the murder weapon.
Tell me what happened.
I do not know.
What don't you know?
The whole evening is a big black hole!
Are you happy now?
Why didn't you just say so?
I don't want to talk to you anymore.
You are so fucking childish.
Do you know why I came here?
Because you're my best friend. I thought you would support me.
You care only about your damn job.
How does Thomas stand you?
Mom?
Mom!
What?
The potatoes are cooked through.
How did the roast turn out?
It looks... perfect.
What dishes do we have?
The East India. I got them out.
Yes, I see them.
We're going to have soup as well.
I wish I could help you.
I'm almost finished.
You know what I mean.
Dear Thomas.
You don't have to pretend with me.
I know it's hard.
It's you who makes it hard.
Me?
What do I do?
You just complain all the time.
What?
She doesn't feel welcome with the damn photo there.
Watch your mouth, young man.
You never watch yours.
Elinor didn't want children.
Thanks to Annika, you have grandchildren, so show a little gratitude the next time.
No.
I will not listen to this.
What are you waiting for?
An apology?
I don't feel good.
I don't feel good either.
Do you understand that?
I don't feel good when you do what you do all the time.
Mom?
Good morning. Thank you.
It's nothing.
It's the damn Kamratposten.
Good morning.
Did we have a meeting?
Where are the rest of the pictures?
The ones of Essex and Michelle.
That was porn.
This is my story. Then I'll go to someone else.
Go ahead, but the pictures are not yours.
It's Kvällspressen's camera. We own the pictures.
You're a good journalist and you'll go far.
But not with this kind of story. Drop it.
Patrik has good instincts.
He has bad instincts.
We can't print them.
No, but we could have sold them.
The English tabloids would have given anything.
Was there anything else?
No.
Cowards.
It keeps curling up.
Don't you have any hair spray?
Do you want to start?
Yes, I'll begin.
Do you know where Anne is? She left this at my house.
You might know what it is?
It won't do any harm now.
Michelle asked me for a favor: a copy of the off-camera talk.
You record it?
Sometimes.
It's used behind the scenes.
But would it be recorded in secret?
She would make a documentary about their work. You know, people-talk.
But it's easy, so I helped her.
In long-play, it's enough for twelve hours.
Hence the whiskey bottle?
Yes.
But the recording session was busy, so I kept forgetting it.
Just before the final scene I remembered it.
Did you record this during the final shooting of the last day?
Yes.
There are shadows across your face.
Then move in from the left. Go ahead.
Then I'll have to reposition.
Let's do it.
It'll take some time, but we'll fix it.
Thanks for that.
We need to listen to this.
I don't have time.
We must listen, now!
Good luck, Karin.
-15.
Stand by.
Ten, nine, eight,
Seven, six, five,
Four, three,
Two, one,
Now.
Go ahead, Karin.
Good evening.
My name is Karin Bellhorn, and I am the Producer at Zero Television.
We are gathered for a memorial service for our colleague Michelle Carlsson.
An incredibly talented,
strong-willed young woman.
Her always disarming manner
made everyone around her
feel seen and loved.
I'm leaving.
With great sadness, we see Michelle Carlsson no longer...
They've begun.
I'm going to make a call.
I think everyone here feels the same great regret that I do.
Yikes...
Boring place.
I thought they had a bar.
Poor Karin.
What are you saying, girl?
Michelle had big plans.
Do you know how she stayed at the top?
She kicked any bugger who was on the way up.
Have you met anyone who worked with her for more than two years?
Working with Michelle...
I worked with her for five years.
And you still make coffee?
That was great progress.
You were perhaps her perfect little doormat.
But her bright memory will always follow us.
Thank you.
I'm Sebastian Follin,
owner and creator of the company Build & Create.
It is a great pleasure to announce that we have entered a partnership
with Zero Productions...
on work to safeguard...
Michelle's... legacy.
The first collaborative production is a documentary
about Michelle and her life
and her work.
Well, that's all.
And with that I'll turn things over to Karin again.
Karin?
Yes.
Thank you, Sebastian.
Now it's time for some...
What the hell is happening?
Andrew, what are you doing?
It's not going away.
What are you doing?
It is not us.
We don't know where it's coming from.
PK, break the transmission. Go to advertising, now.
I gotta go.
Goodbye.
See you around.
What's this?
What are you doing?
What's going on?
Stop it.
What are you laughing at?
I'm laughing at you.
Do you know what you are? A bitter cunt.
Oh, come on.
You don't control me any more!
You bet your ass I do.
Spoiled little...
I book your guests, write your scripts and make sure everything works.
A little gratitude would be appropriate.
Is that what you think?
You think you're so damned important.
Don't speak to me in that tone.
I'm your boss, Michelle.
Not for long.
What do you mean by that?
London called me.
Not you. They called me.
They asked if I wanted my own program.
Prime time.
I'm going to make it on my own.
Then I can choose who I work with and don't work with.
You are lying.
No. They didn't even inform you.
They're not counting on you anymore, Karin.
Now it's me they call.
And it'll be so damned easy for me to make sure that you never get work.
Do you know that?
So damn easy, Karin!
Because it's over for you now.
You have absolutely nothing.
You have no husband, no children.
You've put all that energy into a job you won't have much longer.
Shut up.
Shut up yourself, Karin!
It's over for you.
People think you are a pathetic,
ugly, fucking old bitch.
That's what they think.
Can you sit on the couch?
Sit back.
And give a little of that hero-like look.
What's a hero-like look?
A bit like that John Wayne.
Think "John Wayne".
Annika... Annika's spoiling it.
It's not a bad thing, it's good.
Can you take this?
It's London.
Are we really done here?
Yes.
Yes, hello, this is Anne Snapphane. Who am I speaking to?
Hi, Lisa.
Yes, I think it will be ready in three days.
Hi.
Mommy! Mom!
Hello, darlings.
How have you been?
We have been to the hospital.
Why?
Grandma had a heart attack.
Is she okay?
Yes.
Dad yelled at her. Didn't you, Dad?
Why is that?
She said bad things about you, Mom.
She did?
We had hamburgers.
And candy, though it wasn't Saturday.
God, I missed you.
Listen, sweet.
Watch it!
Next time you come with me.
I can't stand mom by myself.
Then you'd better make me an honorable woman first.
Then I'll have to do that.
Not just to prove something to your mother?
We have nothing to prove.
In that case, I want to.
Will you?
Are we talking about getting married
or not getting married?
We're getting married.
Okay.
Ouch!
What was that for?
You can't just say "Okay".
Yes. Okay, we'll get married.
We are getting married.
All right.
Hello and welcome to "The Castle".
Here we meet to discuss matters large and small,
important and trivial in a delightful blend.
With interesting artists and exciting guests,
together, we observe the end of winter,
and winter's chill has chased away joy and romance.
Maybe it's simply that as spring approaches,
we all become a little more alive.
My name is Michelle Carlsson.
Welcome!
