03x02 - Episode 2

Post by bunniefuu »

How dare you?

You took him from me.
You and your mother.

Why did she go free?

Forensic psychiatry for Tone
seems mild.

But at least she's in custody.

It's up to you now.

You need to get them to trust you.

Sooner or later,
they'll get what they deserve.

You should know the act
she gave doctors is a lie.

This is our new lobby.

The guests disappeared,
we had no bookings.

So you turned my hotel
into a f*cking brothel?!

Are you sure it's okay for me
to stay here?

-It's not weird?
-No way.

We're actually planning to open
a yoga studio.

It would be perfect for Mistral.

-What's this?
-They're Jens' things. He left them.

Jens is back. He waited for Lilja.

He threatened her.

You're her boyfriend,
what's your plan?

Welcome to the new Beach Hotel.

Nice so many of you could come.

I think he's dead!

Lukas, is everything okay?

Are you ready to speak
to the police?

Yes, soon!

THE BEACH HOTEL

Hey, how are you doing?

We can ask if we can leave earlier.

If the police want to ask questions,
they can call.

No, it's okay.

Did you see
if Rebecka was here tonight?

No, why do you wonder?

-Hey.
-Hey.

-Have you heard anything more?
-No.

Bloody hell,
this all got so f*cking...

Yeah, I know.

But...have you seen Lovisa?

-No.
-No.

Well, I'll...
Let me know if you need anything.

Absolutely.

Hey, Lukas.

My name is Hanna Andersson,
I'm leading the investigation.

How are you doing?

Can you tell me
what happened tonight?

I...

I was walking
to the kitchen entrance...

and throw out some rubbish.

And he was lying there...

outside the door.

Did you see anyone else there?

How did you get blood
on your clothes?

I thought he might...

I don't know, that he could...

Here.

Was there a reason you thought
he might still be alive?

No, I don't know...

His name was Jens Westlund.

Did you know him?

No, I have no idea who...

-Lilja!
-What's going on?

They've found a...

-No.
-It's someone close to you. Lukas...

-Hey, let's go sit down for a bit.
-What happened to Lukas?

-Sit down.
-What happened to Lukas?

That's quite a serious accusation.

It's not an accusation.

But last time there was a m*rder,

it was her mother
and Rebecka was involved.

She should be here now
but she's not.

Surely you agree
it's f*cking strange.

It has to be her.

Why? Did Rebecka and Jens know
one another?

No, I don't know!

But maybe Jens knew
about Rebecka's and Tone's plans

-and wanted to silence him...
-Julie.

Tone got her sentence, and the trial
showed Rebecka to be innocent.

-The case is closed.
-Closed?

Obviously Tone's not working alone
if people keep being m*rder*d.

Please, for your own sake,
try to move on.

Lukas?

Lukas.

Have you slept at all?

A bit. You?

No, I don't think I slept at all.

Well...

I can't believe he's dead.

He was a jerk, but...

He must have done something.

Thank you.

I'll pass that on.

Okay, bye.

They say we can open the hotel
as usual today.

"A new chapter is written
about the Saltsjövik murders,

a story we had all hoped was over."

I really don't like
that Lukas is alone today.

Yes, I understand, but he has Lilja.

But he doesn't have me!

Crisis counseling is available,
maybe he should talk to someone.

If we notice he's not doing well,
we'll contact them immediately.

I'll help with this.

I'm not going to be able to focus
on anything today.

Stay home today.

Take it easy. I'll handle reception.

No, I don't want to be home alone.
I'll come with you.

No, of course, I understand.

I'll sort it out.

Yes. Okay.

Thanks for letting me know.

Thanks, bye.

I'm working alone in the bar today.

Nobody wants to come in.

Can't you just close the bar?
After what's happened.

Believe me, nobody wants to stay
home more than I do, but...

I think they're opening too early.

There was...

Someone's been m*rder*d.

I have to work completely alone
today.

Can't I come with you?

What? Sit in the bar
and stare at the wall?

No, come along and help out.

I don't know much about c*ck
but I can open wine,

pour a beer or two.

Are you feeling up to it?

It feels like you might need
some moral support too.

I'm up to it, of course.

Is it okay if I sit here?

Some people ask
before they sit down.

Jakob Hallberg,
do you have a moment?

Hallberg?

The one who minted the name,
"The Saltsjövik Murders"?

That really helped this town.

Thanks, I'm not taking questions
from the press right now.

I'm not here as a journalist.

I'm doing research for a book.

Okay, thrilling.

And the title starts with "S"
and ends with "Saltsjövik m*rder*r".

I won't share the investigation
with you if that's what you want.

I'm thinking the opposite.

I live here at the hotel
and think we could help each other.

If you have a few minutes,
I can share a few theories, okay?

I've gotten to know Saltsjövik
pretty thoroughly.

Okay. Well...

Thank you, but I don't solve my
cases with the help of civilians.

And have another think
about that title.

Are you really
going to keep this up?

Will it even work now,
after all this?

I don't know.

It's all so crazy.

But people still need to feel
like life goes on, right?

We need a chance to start over.

You deserve to start over.

Julie!

It's actually perfect for Mistral.

Oh, I don't know.

-Hi.
-Hi.

That was crazy, yesterday.
Have you heard from the police?

No.

Have you considered our idea?

If you want, we can come by
and tell you more.

Sure.

-I'd like to hear more.
-Okay.

Great.

I'll text you
some suggestions for times.

Mm, absolutely.

-Then we'll talk soon.
-Okay.

-Bye.
-Bye.

Everything we rebuilt.

For what? Again, it's all just...

Werner?

I just found out, from the police.

Didn't anyone think it was
appropriate to inform me?

Okay, what's going on?

The police don't seem to have leads
yet, but they'll keep us informed.

Okay, but what's your plan here?

The guests expressed concern
so we've informed them about it.

That's not good enough. There's
protocol for crisis management.

We should call Petra.

She knows about this stuff.
Have you done that?

-Huh?
-No, we haven't.

No, why not?

You're still on sick leave,
you shouldn't even be here.

No, but you're here.

What do you know
about this kind of thing?

Rebecka!

-Hey, Julie.
-Hi.

God, I heard about the Beach Hotel.

How awful that must have been
for the people who were there.

I thought you were going to be
there too?

Yeah, I...

I was planning on going
but I didn't feel so well.

I think I needed to rest.

But...do you know anything else?

If it was an accident,
or if it was an actual...

m*rder?

Is it important?

Something you have to get?

No, it's...nothing important.

Shall we go in?

Did he say where he was going?

No, she just left.

-I think he's here.
-Okay.

Everything's fine.

You can't just leave like that.

Without telling me
where you're going.

I know the way to and from
the hotel.

I haven't forgotten that much.

The hotel isn't the best environment
for you right now.

The hotel is my life, isn't that the
best environment? I don't get it.

What are you so afraid of?

Isn't it the idea
that I'll start remembering?

Fine, I'll tell you next time.

Thank you.

It won't hurt to hear
what they have to say.

-Thank you.
-Starting something new,

in times like these, it's...

I don't know, Julie...

One meeting doesn't mean
anything is decided, right?

No, I know, but...

Dad always said,
bet bigger in bad times.

Yeah, true enough.

How do you think it's going with
Rebecka?

Do we have to go through it again?

No, I mean...

After everything that's happened
with the Beach Hotel,

and here, with us...

you don't think the guests might
find it hard seeing her here?

She's on front pages all over town.

We really can't afford to risk
it being a problem for someone.

No, you're right, actually.

What do you think we should do?

She could have
a more administrative role.

-Here, in the office.
-Okay.

Let me talk to her.

I think it's probably best
if it comes from me.

So, here we have the head chef.

The legend himself, Olle.

This is Lilja who is starting
in the kitchen today.

-Hi.
-Oh, yeah, that's right.

Welcome to the real heart
of the hotel.

As Olle likes to say, food is
the true way to the guests' hearts.

Maybe more important than ever
right now.

Well, okay. Good luck, then.

-Thanks a lot.
-Olle will take good care of you.

Bye.

Hey, show her
what she needs to know.

He means that as long as he doesn't
need to lift a finger,

-everything will be great.
-Okay, I get it.

-Nour.
-Lilja.

That m*rder...I don't even know how
they can open the hotel.

Uh, yeah.

We imagine more than a studio,
we imagine a yoga centre.

We have your spa, yoga, mindfulness,
connection between senses and body.

For a day, a couple of days
or a week.

We imagine a retreat at Mistral,
basically.

Sorry, where were you thinking this
would be? We don't have space...

I have an idea.

We'll need to renovate, but...

How does the financing look?

I'll put in half
if you take the other half.

My company in Stockholm is
being valued.

And Lovisa has the knowledge
and experience so she'll run it.

And how would we market it?

-We'll hold workshops, classes...
-I have lots of contacts.

Imagine, just one event
with a famous yogi

would get great exposure.

It would sort out
almost all the marketing.

And for a fraction of the price.

It's well thought out, absolutely.

But I think we need to discuss it...

An event like this?

-Where would it be held?
-On the beach.

Yes, we've put together
a suggestion here. Want to see?

Yes, I'd love to.

It's all about relaxation, right?

So the event is simple, really.

And, well...the beach and ocean
give us a lot for free.

We're finished
with everything inside.

But we'll keep the m*rder scene
cordoned off.

I understand.

And I'm at your disposal.

Great, thank you.

Hey, this Jens, the victim...
I looked him up.

He had a bit of a past.

Possession, as*ault...
What was he doing here?

Was he meeting a guest?
Someone here knows something.

Listen, Hallberg, let me do my job,
stick to your writing.

Okay?

In this area where we have storage,
we could build a yoga room.

And if we open this up,
we get more space.

Julie, it's not a bad idea, but...
at Mistral? Now?

There are better ways.

Did you read my submission
to the tourist bureau?

Uh, tourist bureau...

It's...

This yoga centre,
along with our spa profile,

plus what they can offer,
it suits us.

I don't know, it...

What was Sebastian doing here?

They had a pitch for a yoga centre.

Here, at the hotel.

Okay. Is it something
we're going to talk about?

No, there's not much to talk about.

We've decided to work with them.

Oh? Isn't that a decision
I should be part of making?

If we don't take them up on it,
they'll go to someone else.

-It's not a bad idea.
-No.

So if you do the numbers,
we can discuss the next step.

But...I think I deserve to be here
when you have these meetings.

-Deserve?
-Yes.

You deserve to stay away
from the guests

so you don't scare away more
of them.

We both agree.

Yes, exactly.

But it's a step closer
to me becoming head chef.

Then I'll open my own place.

First here, to start with,
then Paris, London...

If you need a kitchen hand, I'm in.

And you? What do you want to do?

You don't want to stay in Saltsjövik
your whole life?

Do you live alone in town?

Chill, one question at a time.

Yes, I live in town
with my boyfriend, Lukas.

Lukas? Anyone I'd know?

Wasn't that the m*rder*r's name too?
Or the one who found the body?

Oh, God.

-God, I'm so sorry, Lilja.
-It's fine. You couldn't have known.

But...did he tell you anything?

What they fought about.

-Fought?
-Yes. Just outside.

Him and that guy Jens,
it was chaotic.

I thought they were going to brawl.

I imagine it's a bit chaotic
at the Beach Hotel today.

-I don't know, I haven't been there.
-No, that would be stupid.

I like that you solve
your own problems.

Whether I agree with your method
is a different matter, but...

What, Jens? That wasn't...

I've told you, don't say that name
here. Don't you understand?

It's win-win for you too.

And with all the chaos at the hotel,

it'll be easy
to do me a little favour.

Now? I don't know if it's so...

You don't know?

If you don't know,
then neither do I...

Maybe I should call Lilja and tell
her about our little collaboration.

Okay, but can't it wait?

Can it wait?

Maybe you should find
a better hiding place.

I'm not at all unreasonable.

But there are various solutions,
so either the police take the knife,

I get the money...

or the knife stays here
and you get the money.

What do I do then?

I'll be in touch.

We'd intended
to bring this up with you.

We've discussed the fact you...

have been pictured in newspapers
lately, and...

we thought it might be best if you
don't have contact with the guests.

Just until further notice,
a few weeks.

I get this must be hard for you.

Maybe nobody's asking how you feel,
but...

I still want you to know
that I'm here.

If you need to talk to anyone.

Amazing, and you're totally sure?

Yeah, okay. Talk to you soon.

This is going to be awesome.

Okay, yeah, bye.

Is it true? Did they say...?

Julie loves it. They're in!

Thank you! I never could have
done it without you.

No, me neither.

I should call Stockholm,
hurry the sale along.

Then we celebrate.

You know, I stood here wondering
when I would see you in this place.

Jakob, how long has it been?

-Twenty years ago at least.
-Wow.

But I can't believe it,
looking at you.

What are you doing here?

The only thing I travel for. Work.

Oh, of course.
The Saltsjövik m*rder*r.

I can reveal that didn't go down
too well around here.

-Is it okay if I...?
-Of course.

But I'm not here for a story
this time.

Or, well...Not directly, anyway.

I'm writing a book.

Somewhat inspired by events here.

Wow, that sounds daring.

It must have been hard.

Everything that's happened.

Do I dare answer that?
Or will it end up in the book?

It's still hard.

Maybe you need something stronger?

-Cosmopolitan?
-Good memory.

Certain things just stick.

-Want to hear more of my memories?
-No...

So...you're staying at the hotel?

I arrived yesterday.

Oh, sorry. It's my daughter,
I have to take this.

-But I'll see you around?
-You will.

Hey, how did it go?

-Hi.
-Hi.

How are things?

-Good, you?
-Good.

-Thank you for coming so fast.
-Of course.

You're so busy.

Yes, we want it to go
as well as possible.

It feels crazy you want to do this
with us.

-Okay, now I'm hesitant.
-No, I mean crazy good.

Have a seat.

I'll just...Sorry.

It's fine.

So you've mostly been working
from here?

Yes, it's ended up that way.

It's been hard at Dad and Vendela's.
After all that's happened.

Then Lovisa turned up with
all her ideas, and this was born.

It seems like you've become close.

Yes, I think we work well together.
Easy to throw ideas around.

Yeah...You're a good team.

It's part of what you sell.

What we sell?

I've brought a contract proposal.

-Do you want to read it?
-I'd love to.

Thank you.

Excuse the mess, but...

I'll look at it and get back to you.
Okay?

Do that. No stress.

What a day!

Shopping with my favourite person,
and getting such happy news.

It's Sebastian I have to thank.
I couldn't have done it alone.

Of course you could have.
You can do what you want.

Okay, order whatever you like.

We're celebrating.

Should we share
a bottle of champagne?

What do you think?

We don't need to do this...

all this and the shopping and...
I'm not really used to it.

I'd have been just as happy
if we'd just gone for a burger.

Have I been too much?

I just wanted to...

I want you to feel
you're getting what you need.

I know that.

But I have more
than I could ever have dreamed of.

If someone had told me six months
ago, I wouldn't have believed them.

Now all I want is a kebab
and a Fanta.

You know what? Me too.

Let's get out of this
overrated place.

THE SALTSJÖVIK BEACH HOTEL

Hey! Lojsan, right?

Yes, that's right.

Working here must give you some idea
of happenings in town.

Yes, to a certain degree, maybe.

Jens Westlund, who would know
who he hung around with?

Oh...

Um...

Lilja should know, of course.

-Lilja?
-Yes, Lilja Danielsson.

Lukas' girlfriend.
She used to date Jens.

There you go.

Let me know if you need to rest.

I will. Honestly, I thought
there would be more of a commotion.

Like, police and reporters
and that kind of thing.

Yes, thank goodness there's not.

We need all the help we can get.

Yes, it's good. Great.

She says she's up to it.

Sure, you know I trust
your judgement.

Which is somewhat what I'd like
to discuss with you here. Now.

You know Lojsan and I are
getting married soon.

I'll be needing a...best man.

Yes! Of course!

I'd be offended if I didn't get
to be your best man.

Good. That's settled, then.

As settled as it can be.

Good, thanks.

Hey.

Hi.

Are you home alone?

My doctor wouldn't accept that.

-Sit down.
-Sure.

Lovely. Would you like a coffee?

No, thank you.

I assume you've heard what happened.

In a roundabout way.

You don't need to be afraid
to tell me things.

I can handle it.

And maybe a huge shock is
just what I need.

Okay.

So the hotel's renovations weren't
a big enough shock?

Well, yes. I felt that.

But...I see the reasons
and it was necessary, but...

the result?

I think it turned out well.

Sebastian, can we find something fun
to do when Petra's back? We three?

Forget the hotel and everything
that's happened around here.

Just go on an adventure.

Like we did when you were little.

Nothing would make me happier.

Hey, Julie.

Hi.

-What did you want?
-Have you spoken to Rebecka yet?

No, I...What can I do
to make you put this behind you?

-I'd like to talk to Tone.
-I don't think you should do that.

I just...If you go on like this,

you won't be able to let go
of what happened.

Let go? That's not even what
I'm talking about?

It might be good to talk to someone.

Okay?

Think about it.

Hey, I got your message.

I don't really understand.

Last we spoke, I got the impression
there was money in the...

Audit? When?

Okay, but...

There's been no activity this year,
how can the tax office even...?

Okay.

Okay, but the company name has
credibility.

Okay, talk soon.

We can't change her perception.

But if she becomes too insistent,
I want you to come to me.

I understand how hard it's been
for her.

But...if I'm ever going to have
relationship with my sister...

reporting her would destroy that.

Plus, we work together and
I don't want to destroy that either.

Well, you can always call me.

Well, thank you for letting me
disturb you.

-Hi.
-We're just finished.

Is everything okay?

When will it end?

Will Julie ever trust me again?

She just needs a bit more time.

But it would help if she actually
saw what you do here.

Have you put in the material
for the yoga centre yet?

Just the main points.

Okay, lead the beach yoga project.

-Julie will never...
-It's an administrative role.

Do it from the office
and she'll be on board.

-Do you think so?
-Of course.

I'll talk to her.

Alright.

Why didn't you tell me
you fought with Jens?

-Who told you that?
-Lukas!

I was going to tell you.

Then I found him,
and it all got so...

Did you tell the police?

They'd think it was me!
I haven't done anything!

You have to tell them, Lukas!

You can't lie to the police,
you have to tell the truth!

What will they think
when it gets out?

I...

I'm sorry.

Can we go to their place?

Surprise them with dinner?

We could go out for a meal.

I think Lukas would like
to get out a bit.

Lilja's looking after him,
I promise.

I know.

But it's not easy to let go.

Who said you had to let go?

This is still his home.

He'll come here if he needs to.

I just wish he'd need to
all the time.

Hey...

Why don't we skip
straight to dessert?

Go crazy...

scoop up heaps of ice cream,
sit on the couch and watch TV?

You know who loves eating ice cream
in front of the TV?

Darling.

-I can do that.
-It's too late.

You're off the hook.

I live here.

Okay, next time
I'll leave it all for you.

I'll mess it up extra, just for you.

But...

aren't we celebrating?

Yes.

-Cheers!
-Cheers!

Have you heard anything from
Stockholm, by the way?

Not yet.

Even if it didn't work out...

I'm glad I met you.

I haven't exactly had an avalanche
of good people in my life, so...

I feel like I can relax with you.

-Did I do something wrong?
-No.

-Let's just take it a bit slow.
-Yes, of course.

I wish I had some dishes left.

Do you understand how serious it is
to lie to the police?

But Lukas, did you fight
and maybe you went a bit hard,

-maybe in self defence?
-I promise I found him like that.

And you,
if you have important information,

you have to come to us. Okay?

We still haven't found an address
for Jens.

If you know anything, I don't want
to hear it from someone else.

-Do you understand?
-They might know at the Veranda.

He worked there for awhile.

They've gone bankrupt now, but...
they should still have addresses.

Okay, the Veranda?

Mm. The café.

Is there anything else
you haven't told us?

No.

No? Good.

FORENSIC PSYCHIATRY CLINIC

Julie...I'm so happy to see you.

When they said you'd called,
I could barely believe it.

And I wanted to see you
straight away, of course,

I've been thinking of you.

How are you?

I'm not here
to answer your questions.

Okay.

Do you want to ask me something?

No, you're not here
to make small talk.

That's clear, so...

I want closure.

And you think it'll help
to talk to me?

I think there are better ways.

Can't you talk to the little man
you've got back home?

Congratulations, by the way.

I just want to look you in the eye
and tell you, you can't do any more.

You'll never get out of here.

You lost.

Who won, then?

Egil?

If anyone got closure, it was him.

And Jens Westlund?

It ended badly for him as well.

How do you know about Jens?

Sweetheart, it's not over
just because I'm in here.
