* Happy music *

[woman] "Good morning
Sweden, here from the studio,

on this beautiful morning."

[man] "Bright sunshine and
cold, can it be any better?"

Today we are talking about Syria.

What does the country
need to achieve stability?

It's also time to think about the beach season .
- No.

Yes, yes, our fitness
expert Rodrigo is coming

and tells us how to
get that perfect six-pack.

Mark, that would be something for you.
A six-pack. * He laughs. *

We also meet Tomas Tormalm,

Recipient of this
year Almlöf Medal,

he's in Stockholm
to collect the award.

But first words our sponsors.

[man] Drive the light
down in the background.

What does "six pack" mean
here? I'm ready for beach season.

* slurred voices *

- Hey. Alexandra Beijer?
- Yes.

Nice to have you here, this way.

Otherwise we'll get Alto
Lind, but he recommended you.

- Have you been here?
- No.
- No? It'll be fine.

That's better.
- I think so too. Yes, great, thanks.

Say, do you know Tormalm?
- What?

Who is Tormalm?
- Don't know. Sh...

Hey. - Hey.

It's your turn in Block 3

- Mimmi will take care of you until then.
- Yes, thank you.

- Oh great.
- See you then.

You can sit there until
then I'll be right here.

So we got that, is that ok?

Yes, you did it again
made a human out of me.

That's an achievement so early in the morning.
- Pleased.

So they were stationed in...
Syria.

Today's guests are
meant to be a yoga trainer,

an influencer and a diplomat,
I'm guessing the latter.

In Syria, yes, but
I'm not a diplomat,

I was on foreign service.

That must have been tough.
I was in Damascus.

- An incredibly beautiful city.
- Mhm. Yes, she's impressive.

- Tomas Tormalm.
- Ah.
Alex Beijer, I'm pleased.

[woman] Are you ready? - Yes.

Let's go over it
again, before you start.

Mmmm. This is Helen, my wife.
- Oh, hi.

- Hey.
- And this is
Stanley, our security man.

He's been with us for eleven years now.
- 14 years honey.

My goodness, really?

[Both] Time flies how it
flies when you're having fun.

Can we honey? - Yes.

- See you then.
- Yes, see you then.

I think we'll add a little
more blush and lipstick.

- Uh, yeah.
- Yeah?
- Yes.

- And then we leave the hair down,
Your hair is so pretty.
- Thank you.

Alright, let's begin.

* soft music in the background *

Hello mum?

* slurred voices *

* Cell phone rings. *

Hey, good morning sweetheart.
- Where are you?

- At work.
- You should n
- o
- t work, you are ill.

"I know is only for a few days."

When are you coming home?
- "Sometime tonight."

I love you.

"Me too." - See you then.

*loud breathing*

*babble of voices in the background*

Hello, Peter. - Hello.

You're off duty today.
- I'll cover for Kemal.

Hope that's okay.
- Yes, of course.

What's for lunch?
- stew, what else?

Hey Peter. Hey.

*babble of voices*

*beeps*

* exciting music *

*beeps*

* closing sound *

* exciting music *

Had a good day? - Well...

it's still early, isn't it?

You could say that.
- He's right.

Are you ready, are you okay?
- Yes, sure.

Is it too? - You don't have to.

[man and woman] Attention,
five, four, three, two...

We welcome Tomas Tormalm today,

the founder of the
Global Literacy Initiative

and this year's recipients of
the Almlöf Medal, welcome.

Thank you, thank you very much.

You are heard to have founded
about ten schools in West Africa.

No, about 20.
- That many actually.

And that to improve
literacy there ,

can you tell us something about it?

literacy is a requirement

to become a full
member of society.

In Dakar, only 48% of
girls can read and write.

And in rural areas the
numbers are even worse.

And you have personally been
to such places and visited them.

I meet people in their milieu,

to talk to them. * g*nsh*t*

*screams, shot*

- No. No.
- Stop.

Stand still and keep calm.

Not moving.
I'll sh**t if I have to.

If everyone keep
calm and do as I say

no one gets hurt.

Everyone leaves the studio,
except Tomas Tormalm.

- Drop it.
- * Alex groans. *

*battle sounds*

*moans, gasps*

Stop! * Shot*

- Stop.
- Calm, calm, calm, just take it easy.

Damned! Where is he?

Where the hell is Tormalm?

* Engine noise, Tires squeal. *

Wait. You can't drive

You have to wait for
the police to come. Stop!

* Tires squeak. * Damn!

* exciting music *

* Door squeaks. * Wait!

Return!

* suspenseful music, beeps*

Return!

Camera...

The camera, level the camera.

If you cancel the show...

or turns off the
monitor, then I see that.

Then I'll sh**t the
hostages, one by one.

If you touch the
doors then I'll see this.

And then I sh**t.

I want Tomas Tormalm
come back here.

I want Tomas Tormalm
back here in the studio,

before this show is over.

you have exactly...

* Someone is shaking the
door. * [woman] My God.

[Man] We're not coming out.

We can't send this further.

What should we do Luke?

* Cell phone rings. *

* Cell phone rings. *

Sorry. * She is sobbing. *

Can I answer that, please?
It's my friend calling.

* Cell phone rings. *

[Jenny] Wow. Pretty.

Not true? Styling by Emma.

I almost too a purple
streak in my hair.

But that's not my color.
- Tz. Coward.

I live for that.

But it's like that

before there was a
child, life was just pretend.

[whistle] Really profound, Oskar.

Impressive, right? No.

Seriously, when
do you want to start?

You're not 20 anymore, soon the train has left.
- Are you crazy?

I'm just being honest.
- you already know,

that it is not easy for two
women to become pregnant.

Get seeds in Denmark
from a hip Danish donor.

Alex is on TV now.

Alex has always been
the star of our family here.

I, on the other hand, have to be
content with being the cake fairy.

[Peter] "So, the next one.
The next one."

"You too."

You have to come.

- What is it?
- Alex.

- What's his name?
- Peter, he's a security guard here.

We don't have... cell phones.

- Peter, my name is Alex,
I'm a police officer.
- Set!

* exciting music *

I see you are tense.

* Mimi sobs. *

"Over there, come on."

* Cell phone rings. *

Yes? OK.

Uh, should I try to talk to him?

That's what we do...

No. OK...

We, uh, are supposed to stay on the air.

Until the police get there.
Don't contact him.

He knows he won't get
shot on a live broadcast.

This is also safest
for the hostages .

What happened Stanley?
Why did you miss the man?

I underestimated it.
Sorry ma'am.

It has to, damn it.

You could have been k*lled, Tom.

But I didn't, I'm fine.

Do you know the man, have you met him once?
- Of course not.

Do you think this is about Tunis?

How should I know
what a fanatical git wants?

I think he just wants something...

excitement in his
f*cking, boring life.

* She sighs. *

Sorry dear. - It's okay.

"The scheduled broadcast in the
first program has been interrupted,

there is a perpetrator
along with hostages

included in the studio of
the show "Guten morning."

What happened?
"We don't have any information yet

to the number of hostages received,
not to the identity of the man either.

At the moment we can..."

*monotonous music*

* exciting music *

[whispers] Are you okay?

- What are you thinking? He has
- a
- g*n and is threatening to k*ll us.

- Nobody's fine here.
- Keep calm.

What can we do then?

The only thing we
can do is keep calm

and do what he asks.

- * Mimi sobs. *
- How are you?

- It's alright.
- Yes?
Are you sure?

- Mmmm.
- Okay.
- * She sobs. *

Breathe calmly and evenly.
That's good.

Yes, yes.

If it gets worse, I
want for you to tell me.

Calm, calm, calm.
So, yeah, fine... Okay?

[sobs] Okay.

Peter?

We have a wife who is not well.

She'll make it for a while.

Listen, isn't it better if
we let them go outside

then we won't get any
more problems here .

- * Mimi sobs. *
- Peter.

* menacing sounds, clock beeps. *

* dramatic music *

* siren *

* dramatic music *

[Man] Entrance A secured.

"This is the police speaking."

"To everyone still inside
those still in the building:"

"Please step away from
doors and windows."

"This is not an exercise."

- What do we know?
- Except for Alex and the moderators

there are four people left in the studio.

All confirmed
employees of the station.

Another employee is leaving,

but it has not been searched yet.

The man is Peter Rosenberg,
Guard at the station.

Formerly a career soldier.
Has no records with us.

And this Tormalm is a financier?

There was a post
about him I'll look for it.

i have him here

"Tomas Tormalm comes from
the simplest of backgrounds

and became a leading
real estate magnate.

His company "Tor
Enterprise" and its subsidiaries

own real estate
around the world.

Today he is in Stockholm
to receive the Almlöf Medal

for his nonprofit organization
Global Literacy Initiative.

- Are there any threats against him? Does
he have
- e
- nemies in Sweden?
- N
- ot directly

but Tor Enterprise made a
controversial real estate deal,

- in Tensta. Many have
received gigantic
- r
- ent increases

or lost their homes.

Sure they don't
exactly love him there .

* Beat *

Hey, hey, awkward situation,
the whole thing, really.

I wanted to let you know

talking to the special forces >.

- they know there's
a cop there.
- Good.

You can count on that
they will do their job.

What do you mean?

There is nothing
you can do right now.

Shall we just sit
here do nothing?

As far as I know,
Martin, this is homicide.

You are not responsible for this.

Alex Beijer is
in this TV studio,

- so we're in charge.
- Wait a minute Martin,

are we there again?
Who's the boss here, Martin?

- No. Someone else, right,
- t
- hat's me, I'm the boss.

I'm your boss,
Martin, and I rule,

let the Special Forces do their
job that's what they're there for.

You all go about
your daily tasks.

What you always do.
The clock is ticking.

Oskar and Jenny, you drive to
the security guard's apartment.

Examine everything you
find for possible motives.

Ayda, you're looking
at those housing deals,

that could do something. Joseph,

find out about his
military background,

er, incidents, field operations,
problems and so on.

- But does that matter now?
- Yes.

- Where are you going?
- To the TV station.

Yes. Understand. OK.

Irja. Irja, do you hear me?

I spoke to Zara.
The police are on their way.

You must try to talk to him.

We have you on camera 2.

Can you, uh...
ask what he wants?

Peter.

I understand you want a
meeting with Tomas Tormalm.

Would you like to tell us why you...

Is there a specific reason
why you want to meet him?

Did he do anything to you, or...

do you have any message
you would like to convey

our viewers watch
you nationwide.

my message is

that you have a damn fake smile.

Out with the earplugs!

You too. Put the headphones away.

Put the headphones away.

You have exactly


Where is he?

* menacing sounds, clock beeps. *

wait, okay?

Is the building cleared?
- Not clear.

There's still a cleaner missing.

Can she still be in the studio?
- Quite possibly.

Have we contacted
the boss of the station?

- She's on her way. But
she
- r
- efuses to cooperate.

Bring them here immediately.
- Yes.

Hey. - Hey.

It's ramping up. - Here.
- Thank you. Are you done?

As good as.
- Anything new? - Not yet.

This is Abbe Viljanen,
Head of Security.

Lisbet Sten, Operations Manager.
You are the Chief of Security.

Is correct.

Any idea why he's doing this?
- No.

Peter has been with us for seven years.

Quiet type, often keeps to himself.

It was difficult for him, but...

he is kindness itself.

I don't understand all this.

* engine noise *

* exciting music *

* exciting music *

*metallic click*

He locked down the studio
and the associated control rooms.

Everything is in lockdown mode.
- What does that mean?

That he is in full control.

Nobody gets in or out
if they don't want to.

He sees all the security
cameras on his phone.

And he immediately
gets an alert,

if we go to the locks.
- Did you find the cleaning lady?

Uh, no. But we're looking everywhere.

I need building plans.
We need to find a way in.

OK.

And you find the boss of the station.
- Yes.

Police. Hello.

* exciting music *

[Jenny] Police.

Show yourself.

[Oscar] Police.

[Jenny] Nobody here.

A t*rror1st enjoying geraniums.

* She sniffs. *

hey There is no one here.

- "Esther".
- But he seems
- t
- o have a daughter named Esther.

Insulin. - And we found insulin,

she probably has diabetes.
- Okay.

I'll find out where she goes
to school so we can reach her.

Till then that's fine
if you go to Tensta.

- There lives a Sam Ramon. He was
active
- i
- n the protests against Tormalm.

* menacing sounds, clock beeps. *

*babble of voices*

How the hell did they
find us so quickly?

The hotel staff must
have given you a tip.

Bad timing.

Is there a good time for this?

We cannot afford a setback
after what happened in Tunis .

The whole point of
this It's a Stockholm trip,

to get good publicity.

You know we paid
for that damn award.

* Beat *

sir

- Good day. Klas Fredén,
- P
- olice
Chief of the Stockholm Region.

Day. Tomas Tormalm.

- Glad. What could this
- a
- ll
be about, what do you think?

Do you have any idea

what is this Rosenberg aiming for?
- No, we don't have that.

Could it be something...
economical maybe?

Or revenge? Personal maybe?

I'm not of much interest

and our companies
act responsibly.

There is no conflict with
what we do and this...

- well, I don't know. No, I
have
- n
- ot the slightest idea.

* Quiet music *

Well, the situation is this:
You are under our protection.

We want you to stay here at
the hotel under all circumstances

and not talking to anyone.
- We can't leave.

Damn crap. - Hm.

Alright, see you later.

* She moans. *

Martin Beck is here. - Beck?

- Hey. Lisbet Sten, Operations Manager.
- Martin Beck.

Yes, I know who you are.

- Alex Beijer is your cop, yes?
- Yes.

- Sit down.
- Thanks.
- She distracted him.

There would be far more
people in there if it weren't for her.

Please Peter...

Could I say... a few
words to our viewers,

surely they're wondering what here...
- are you kidding me?

There are 35 minutes left.

If he doesn't come soon,
I'll sh**t the two moderators.

- puff. Puff.
- *
- Irja whimpers. *

Please, Peter,
put down your g*n.

- She won't help you.
- * Irja sobs. *

I'm sure he's on his way here

he'll be here any moment.

Is there anything
that I can do for you?

May i ask you something?

Do you think it was right
to keep them broadcast?

Absolutely.

In this situation,
there is no other way.

But this is a weird
hostage situation.

I think it's personal.
He seems desperate.

You must negotiate
with him, right away.

We can't without the consent
of the responsible boss.

- Are you kidding?
- No.

* exciting music *

* Mark blows. *

* Mark breathes loudly, blows. *

* He clears his throat. *
Can I have some water?

I just need something to drink.

You'll get this as soon
as I have what I want.

But all this... I have
nothing to do with any of this.

- What? It's not like I can
- co
- njure up the man or anything.

It's completely absurd all this.

They just keep going and you're
sitting there doing the program?

Cursed.

Can you guys help
us now damn it,

- get that Tormalm.
- Sit down the f*ck.

* He's sobbing. * Sorry.

Peter... put that g*n away.

"The Hostage Situation
in the morning show studio.

The police press officer,
Anne-Marie Syrén, is with us.

What can you tell us?"
- [Börje] Tomorrow.

Tomorrow. - Morning.
- Good morning.

* Cell phone rings. *

Hansson.
-[Ayda] "Are you Börje Hansson,

the headmaster of Kvinneby School?"
- Yes.

"I'm Ayda Cetin from the police.
I'm looking for an Esther Rosenberg."

Esther Rosenberg is in 3C.

"Is she at school now?" - Uh...

the 3rd slept in today,
they start in an hour.

Can you call me as soon as she comes?
- "Sure. What is it about?"

Thanks.

"We want to understand the
request of the hostage-taker."

What's on? - Peter Rosenberg.

[whispers] Take it easy.
Just breathe.

Is that all? - Yes.

I approve, will you pass it on?
- Yes, I will.

Zara Somas, Managing Director
of Senders, who's in charge here?

Lisbet Sten, Operations
Manager, good to have you here.

Why don't you get him out of there?
- We're working on it.

Don't you realize
what that looks like?

One ​​of our employees is
brandishing in there with a g*n.

To get Rosenberg out of
this we need to talk to him

and I need your consent

to do this via the control room.
- I strongly oppose this,

everything that is said in the studio
the audience listens to unfiltered.

Exactly.
- It's extremely questionable,

livestream a police
hearing with a kidnapper.

I need to go over
this with my lawyers .

Go through it with all
the lawyers in the world,

when this is over, but now
we really need to talk to him.

Can you call the control room?
Right away.

* exciting music *

* She clears her throat. *

[Luke] "Yes?"

"Hi, I'm Lisbet Sten, the
Operations Manager."

[Luke] "Okay."

Make sure that I can
be heard in the studio.

So. Hear it now.

* exciting music *

Hey Peter, my name is
Lisbet, I'm from the police.

We heard your request
and are looking for Tormalm.

It was about damn time.
Is he on his way?

We are working on it with all our might.

Meanwhile, I want
you to stay calm.

And I ask if you need anything.

Bring him here,
and I'll be calm.

While we wait, please
release some hostages.

Because some of
them are not well.

They'll be free when
the scumbag gets here.

Peter, I don't think that
you want to harm anyone...

* Shot, screams. *

* screams *

Take it easy, Peter, take it easy,
down with the g*n, down with it.

Stop babbling on me.

- Sch.

Calm down. Calm down. sh

* Mimi whines. *

Hello?

Oh God.

Well, that worked
perfectly, didn't it?

Are you sure you want
to bring Tormalm here?

No. But we have to buy time.

- What is this? Better
see
- g

Yes. This will take a while.

OK...

Well, she wants us to

And now zoom in with camera 3.

how you want to proceed?"

[Syrén] "As I said, our top priority
is the welfare of the hostages."

Then do something, damn it.

"Are the police

Ayda, which hotel does Tormalm live in?

"Beach Hotel." - Okay, thanks.

- I'll go and get Tormalm.
- "You don't."

- No, Josef.
- Absolutely not.

Got a damn better
idea Alex's in there.

* Engine roars. *

* exciting monotonous music *

Uh, Peter locked all
roads into the studio.

But I'm thinking of the
new ventilation system,

it's on the floor above.

And there's also a shaft leading
to an outlet in the studio wall.

Can we send someone in there?
- It's tight, but it could work.

Operations here. We're
sending a sn*per inside.

Turn off the
ventilation in the studio.

It's going to get warm.
- Then you'll sweat.

* soft music in the background *

You're not a fan of
Tomas Tormalm, we heard.

No. I really am not.

You wanted to prevent
the purchase of your house.

Not just me, we were several.

But, yes, I collected
signatures , wrote articles.

We made chocolate
ba*ls, would you like?

Yes, sure. Thanks.

The community sold
behind closed doors.

The municipality sold
to Tormalm's company?

They bought up more than ten
percent of social housing here.

They sh*t on the houses.

They just want that their
money will get even more.

buy old houses
renovate them cheaply

and raise the rent that
we can't pay anymore.

There was a case
in Tunisia a year ago.

One of his apartment buildings collapsed.

Cracked up after
renovation. 16 people died,

Tormalm blamed it on the
construction company and got away.

And he is regarded as a humanist

because of his charity work.

*babble of voices*

- Abby?
- "We can provide the private jet f
- o
- r your departure."

Absolutely no way.

"But the board wants
you back to headquarters,

as soon as possible."
- I have to agree with Tom here,

he must not run away.

Don't tell me what to do

but find out who this crazy one is.
- "Yes."

I'm starting to prepare
some kind of statement.

Are you okay? - Yes, I'm fine.

* menacing music, babble of voices *

* exciting music *

* clacking footsteps *

Good morning. -[man] Morning.

"Can you tell what was talked about?
- No.

Is he willing to cooperate?

He cooperated in a way yes.

Did you ask him..."

Isn't that Esther Rosenberg's father?
- [Börje] Yes.

And nobody can reach Esther.

"I can't comment on
that at the moment."

- "Yes?"
- I have information about Peter Rosenberg.

"Twice deployed to Afghanistan,

then sent home early,

due to personality disorder.

Seeked help for
post-traumatic stress."

His wife reported
him for as*ault,

the ad but later retracted.

They have been divorced for a year

- but there is still an ongoing dispute
about custody.
- Thank you, Ayda.

We have to get in there.
As soon as possible.

[radio] Protect one and
two, how far did you get?

We have just passed entrance C.

* exciting music *

How are you involved?
- What, seriously?

You have a file.
riot, g*n possession.

- Certainly more.
- That was 1
- 5
- years ago when I was young.

Thought I could
change the world.

But I had nothing
to do with this, sorry.

Do you know a Peter Rosenberg?
- No.

Okay thanks.

I have lived here for 13 years.

My children grew up here.

This... is my home.

OK. Thanks for the help.

* Traffic noises, horns *

Wait, where are you going?
- I have to get in there.

But it's locked.
Your ID doesn't count.

You need to contact my boss.

Damn m*therf*cker.

- man. Tormalm has enemies
- al
- l over the damn world.

Does Peter have a connection
to this house in Tunis?

Yes, it's quite possible. Let's put Ayda on it.
- Yes.

You, something completely different.

What?
- Well, I was just thinking,

that if you and Lina
would ask me, then...

I would do that, I
mean you'll get mine.

your what?

You already know. So my...

Oskar, I'm sorry, I know really
not what you're trying to say.

Well, you know,
mine my little girls...

or boys or whatever
you want to call it.

Oh come on, you know what I mean.

That's nice of you to be
so generous with your seed.

Well, you don't have to...
- I really like that of you.

Can we find a better
time for this conversation?

Yes, but that's why I'm
saying it, so it doesn't get lost.

We never have time for anything.
- Wait.

- Hey.
- This is Leila Andrewi's number
- .
-

She is a lawyer and
knows the case in Tunis.

Okay. - Thank you, Ayda.

she didn't quite want to.

"What was that car?" - Uh...

I was standing up here, but...
it was black I think.

- When was that?
- "Just after four, w
- e
- just finished."

And she didn't come today.

She has diabetes.
- We know that.

Thanks for the help.
- Yes. - Hey.

* menacing sounds, clock beeps. *

Can you check the security
cameras around Esther's school?

OK. points in time?

* Crash *

Hey, where's the kitchen?
- Hej. It's over there.

* exciting music *

Hello. Hey.

* exciting music *

* Water ripples. *

* Cell phone rings. *

Joseph, where are you?

Send me please
Tormalm's room number.

OK.

* Mark groans. *

* He moans. *

[Irja] Mark, are you okay?
* He's breathing heavily. *

What is it?

* He breathes loudly. *

* Shot, screams. *

Damn... damn. - [Mimmi] No.

* Irja whimpers. *

For heaven's sake... no.

Peter?

I know first aid, I need
to look at Mark's arm.

[Peter] Help him.

[sobs] Oh, God. Oh God.

* Mark groans. *

Take off the jacket. Careful.

* Mark groans. *

* Mark groans. *

It's a graze, but that
needs to be connected.

Push that. Very tight.

Peter, I have to get bandages.

* Irja whimpers. *

* exciting music *

* She breathes loudly. *

* Mark groans. *

Everything okay. It will be.

* Mimi sobs. *

Say it through.

Dear viewers, Mark is fine,

so there is nothing
to worry about.

Hey, I have to speak
to Tomas Tormalm.

No, sorry. * cracking*

Tomas Tormalm,
I'm Josef Eriksson,

I work with Alex Beijer, one
of the hostages you left behind.

* Crash *

i am a cop Joseph Ericsson.

Come to the
station, time is short.

stop, stop

Like I said, it's a damn rush.
I have to get you to the station.

My lawyers and your boss
advised me to stay here.

They keep their backs free.

You have a responsibility yourself.
- What the hell is going on here?

We don't negotiate with t*rrorists.
- Yes, I know that, but it's...

My husband is under no obligation
to go with you. Is that correct?

- Legally, yes.
- Stanley, s
- h
- ow the man out.

Wait, wait, wait.

Okay. You're a businessman, right?
- Yes.

Then you know about risk
assessment, that's part of my job too.

I'll be honest, it's rare
for hostages to be shot

but, uh...

What then?

This guy has a
military background.

He is extremely unstable and
has completely unclear motives.

That makes him life-threatening.

The risk is great that
he will sh**t hostages.

Yes. Or me.

* menacing sounds, clock beeps. *

* exciting music *

*quiet whirring*

*quiet whirring*

* Cell phone beeps. *

* She sniffs. *

But...

E...D...K

Hey, Jenny Boden here. Can
you check a license plate for me?

E, Q, K, nine, two, two.

Great, do you have an address for this?

* Mark groans. *

* He is breathing fast. *

It's not that bad Mark,
hear it? It'll be fine.

So. Now put your arm down.

Good this way.

Everything's ok.

* exciting music *

* She sniffs. *

* engine noise *

* clang *

* Beat *

Hello...

Hello.

* oppressive music *

* Mark groans. *

OK.

We have to do something.
- What? What do you mean?

I'm getting married in eight weeks.
I can't die now.

stop it, yeah

There's a knife over there.

*monotonous music*

* melancholic sounds *

Do you want water?

*monotonous music*

Here please.

* oppressive music *

Who does Peter know best from us?

I haven't even spoken to him.

See you in the kitchen.
- Then you distract him,

while Amir gets the knife.
- You don't have them all.

Get the knife, is your idea.

What exactly do you want?

What's going to happen here, Peter?

- He just has to come here.
- Listen

I know that everything will be done

to get it as soon as possible.

Like you, this is way too slow.

That operations manager,
what is she up to?

Do you think she can change his mind?

* She sobs. *

*beep*

*beep*



* whimper *

What on earth is going
to happen in 18 minutes?

[radio] Protect one
and two, Your position?

The hatch is open, one goes in.

Thanks.

*pulsing music*

Give me 15 seconds
to get the knife.

And then what?

I don't know.
What, do you have a better plan?

I'll get the knife,
we'll overpower him.

Now come on, dammit.

There are three of us.
Amir, you do karate.

No, Taekwondo.

OK. You're right.

Peter? um...

ka... can I talk to you, please?

um...

yeah, uh...

I just wanted to tell you, uh...

that, uh...

I've always liked you.
I mean, really.

We've been working for seven
years in the same building.

And you barely said hello.
- What?

No, but that,
that's not true at all,

I remember that we
at the Christmas party...

- Yes. On the last one,
we,
- w
- e sang karaoke.

And then there were such great
drinks and we, we were so blue and we...

You were wearing that striped sweater, right?
- You there...

Do you think I'm that stupid?

* clang *

* rumble *

Come out.

* She breathes loudly. *

Come out.

I'm sorry.

- Please don't.
I didn't do anything. N
- o
- , ouch.

Think of Esther. - Sit down.

Put the phone on the table. Put
that phone on the table right now.

Sit down so I can
see what you're doing.

You guys are giving me a hard time.
- Who is she?

The ones we couldn't
find cleaner Maya Larsson.

*monotonous music*

* She breathes loud and fast. *

Who are you?

- I'm Maya.
- Maya, okay.

Look at me, Maya.
Yes. I'm here.

Breathe easy.

- Take it easy. In through the
nose,
- o
- ut through the mouth.

* She whimpers. *

Good this way.

Who is Esther?

She is...

his daughter.

* Maya whimpers. *

* Maya breathes loudly. *

Damn it, Tomas, do
the right thing now.

* exciting music *

* menacing sounds, clock beeps. *

- Leila Andrewi? I
tried
- t
- o reach you.

I have to go to court.
- It'll just take...

three minutes.
- Okay, you have two.

You were involved in a
lawsuit against Tor Enterprise,

after a building collapsed in Tunis .
- That's it.

A man pushed for a lawsuit,

his wife and child
died in the collapse.

But unfortunately it was dropped .
- Why?

Probably because Tormalm's
company paid him to keep silent.

Well, that's how it usually goes.

The companies just
spit so much money,

that the people
affected cannot say "no".

Wa, was this man a
a Peter Rosenberg?

No, it was a Tunisian man.
He then took his own life.

- So, Tomas Tormalm
has
- at the moment


neck, in 18 countries.

Everything included, from
companies that didn't get any money

up to allegations of sexual
harassment and r*pe.

*beeps*

But you can't get
to the real criminals .

You already searched for criminal
proceedings against Tormalm,

can you still search
for civil lawsuits?

But sure, sure.

No.
- I
- don't want to.
- P
- eter.

- Peter, no. Peter.
- Get out of my way.

- Peter, don't do that.
- Sit back down, now.

You have nine minutes left.
- The hostage is obscuring the target.

I can't breathe.

* Irja groans. *
Please, I can't breathe.

[Peter] This is your fault.

This is your fault.

- Tomas. - Yes?
- Because of this
- y
- ou will be remembered.

Not because of schools in Katmandu
or medals. No, because of this,

a bloody bloodbath on TV.

Tom, you can't go there okay?

*pulsing music*

* Engine roars, tires squeak. *

I've got Tormalm, I'll be
there in three minutes.

"We do not
guarantee its safety."

* Honk* Slow down.

Then I'd just buckle up.

* Tires squeak. *

"Protect one, I repeat,
what's the situation?"

The hostage obscures the target.

* Irja groans. *

Please wait.

Please, I can't breathe.

She's trying to tell us something.

- Waiting.
- It's something with a clock.

Let go of Irja and take me.

Who do you think you are?

Who cares if I sh**t them here?

Your daughter Esther,
isn't she afraid for you?

Shut up. Shut up, shut up, shut up.
* beeps *

Sit down and be quiet.

*beeps*

I called all the complaints

there are several from a
Swede, registered in England,

I don't see what this is about.
- What's her name?

I have the personal number here.

Larsson. - Larsson.

Hey. - Tomorrow.
- Are you Nicolas Larsson?

Mhm.
- Do you have a Skoda EDK 9-2-2?

- Mmmm.
- May I come in a
- n
- d have a look around?

Sure. - Thanks.

Anyone else here? - No.

*monotonous music*

Did you use your car yesterday?
- No.

But my mom had it.
- Okay, where is she now?

At work. - Where is that?

At the TV station. She cleans there.

Is that your mom?
- Mmm, yeah. What is it?

* Ringback Tone *

- Yes?
- I
- think Peter Rosenberg
- d
- oes this under duress.

His daughter was probably
kidnapped by Maya Larsson yesterday.

I'm with your son, he
doesn't seem to know.

One more thing, Esther has diabetes.

* menacing sounds, clock beeps. *

* Engine noise, Tires squeal. *

*pulsing music*

Go straight through.

[man] He's here.

You know you're doing
this at your own risk?

We do what we can but I
can't guarantee anything.

I want that clarified.
- Several here want that.

* exciting music *

Ready? - Yes.

Call the control room.

Yes. Okay. You can write now.

"Tormalm is here now."

*beep*

Let him come in.
Let him come in.

stop...

He should come in.

* exciting, pulsating music *

Come along. Tempo.

A hundred that he shoots.

Wait... * beeps *

Come in and close the door.

Just. are you armed

Come on.

You can now release the others.
- Not yet.

*beeps*

He's here now, dammit.

Peter.

Peter, all this, uh...

came from me.

Esther, I, I know where Esther is.

Is that a joke?

*monotonous music*

*clink*

If you give me the g*n
you'll get the address.

* Maya breathes loudly. *

Tjurvägen 13. Forgive me.
- To hell with you and your son.

You stay here.
The others can go.

Get out of here, quick.

- Curre, you need to film
stay here.
- Maya...
- No.

- Maya, give me the g*n.
- No, I say.

No. *shot*

Oh God. Oh God.

Set. You sit down.

Police, show your hands.
Come down!

I have to find my daughter.
- Hands on the wall.

Spread your legs. Spread your legs.

- Please. Let me go.
- I
- have to...

Okay. Come along.
- No. - Come on.

give me the key

- Give me the key.
- Right pocket.

We take care of them.

[radio] "Tjurvägen 13.
Send an ambulance."

* police siren *

* police siren *

* Maya breathes loudly. *

Can he be seen?

You have no idea who I am, do you?
- Uh, no.

Maya Larson.

The name tells me something.

My lawyers wanted to
close a settlement with you.

I don't want a f*cking
comparison, okay?

Listen...

listen to me, I want to...
- Shut up. Quiet.

you will listen, okay?

Good.

No clear view, I
repeat, No clear view.

OK.

Alex didn't go out with me.

Then there are four of them in there.

Gunner One has no
vision on Maya Larsson.

But she can't see the
surveillance cameras

Gather the forces, we're going in from down here.
- Yes.

[Maya] My mother and
father were from Tunisia.

Five years ago they
moved back there.

In a small two-room apartment...

in Tunis...

al-Tadhamin.

you remember?

Yes, of course.

* exciting music *

[Tomas] Maya. - [Maya] Damn.

* menacing music *

There was no warm water

drip from the apartment above
through the bathroom ceiling.

- And then you came. They wanted
to buy the
- h
- ouses, remember?

Mmmm. - Hm. - Sorry, Maya,

but you don't know
how such a tender works.

Don't talk to me
like I fell on my head.

For three years absolutely
nothing happened.

Suddenly, within two
weeks, everyone had to leave.

- The processes are just like that.
- After that t
- h
- e rent was twice as high.

But there was
still no hot water.

And you could see
the ceiling crumbling...

in Mom's bathroom.

So I asked my husband

[sobs] Dani,

to shut down and what to do.

* She sniffs. * My daughter...

fia,

she wanted so badly to
go to hug her grandparents.

* She sobs. *

And of course I let her drive.

* She sobs. *

Nicolas couldn't, he had a
soccer tournament or something.

Maya, I think I see
what you're getting at.

But if you put down the g*n now,

then we'll see if we don't...

find a solution.

- Maya?
- Quiet. D
- a
- mn, damn, damn.

* exciting music *

[radio] "We're ready now."

Understood.

It's way too dangerous.

She doesn't know
how to use a g*n.

If startled, she might
accidentally sh**t.

We still wait.

Why can't you
put an end to this?

Do you understand what's going on?

My husband is being held by
a completely deranged woman,

who's blackmailing him,
do something damn it.

[Maya] Dani called me.
You were just about to have lunch.

Mom made chicken.

I didn't really
hear what he said.

i was too busy

It took 30 seconds for
everything to collapse.

The whole framework is rotting away.

They have five houses

a castle the most expensive
sailboat in the world

and you had no money to spare
to renovate a rental house in Tunis.

I really regret that.

Only Fia was found.

With eyes wide open.

Do you understand what that means?

that my daughter...

my daughter, at
her twelve years old,

had to see her death coming.

* She sobs. *

What, what, do you actually want?

I want you to confess

before everyone here that you
the culprit in the death of Fia.

But, Maya, You do have a son.

Do you want to destroy
his life to get revenge?

I can help you.
- You can't help me.

But you will help Nicolas

You will give him your annual salary
. How much do you earn per year?

- 500 million?
- There are legal p
- r
- ocedures for this.

You should confess.

Maya.

- No, no, no, no.
- Alex.
W
- h
- at is she doing?

The risk is to high.

No. No, no, confess.

- Maya, I'd like to help you.
- Stop it, confess.

If you put down
the g*n, I'll help you.

confess.

We should have done
a thorough renovation.

- I know. I know.
- I
- f only, if only...

They said it should cost as little as possible.
- I know.

My daughter is dead because
you You didn't care about life.

* Maya sobs. *

Maya, come on. Come.

Go in, I repeat, go in.

Police. Police, drop the g*n.

- Stop. Stop.
- * Shots*

* Alex screams. *

* oppressive music *

* Crash *

Medic, make way. Make way.

* Alex groans. *

- Breathe.
- D
- amn
it.
- I
- was so close.

What have you
done I had damn it.

We have one seriously
injured, two g*nsh*t wounds.

Get the OP ready.

* Martinshorn, Alex is crying. *

* siren *

* exciting music *

We lift them out.

So, one, two, three.

Esther...

Can you hear me?

* exciting music *

Did you know Maya Larsson?

Yes. We often ate together.

Were you friends?

I thought so.
She asked about Afghanistan.

People usually don't want to
know not... And after Esther...

- I get it now.
- What?

That she wanted to find someone
to do what she dared not do.

How was it when Esther disappeared?

I got a text message
from a withheld number.

A photo of Esther crying...
sitting in a car.

And the instruction that I should
come into the studio armed.

And I should take
Tomas Tormalm hostage.

I would then find out
where Esther was.

And then everything went wrong.

I saw her blood sugar drop

and just thought
that she had to eat.

I was just looking to get
Tormalm in the studio,

before she fell into a coma.

- Why didn't you call us?
- The police?

They would have accused
me of murdering them.

And didn't give a damn
looking for her or something.

Should I have risked
that you wouldn't find her?

I get four years
and get out in two.

A price I'm happy to
pay for my daughter's life.

What would you have done?

- * knock*
- Yes?

Father.

* melancholic music *

I could have saved her.

You could have died too.

* melancholic music *

* melancholic music *

* melancholic music *

Why is failure remembered most?

That thing... the open
eyes of her dead daughter.

Some images are
burned into the brain.

When I came back from Syria, there...

I thought these
images would go away.

But it's still the
failure that...

burns into your brain.

That's part of the job now.

you know that

- * A dog is barking. *
- Want to talk about Syria?

Maybe another time.

She obviously had breast cancer.

Incurable.

And that....
does something to you.

To learn that... time is right.

Even if you are
actually aware of it.

* melancholic music *

Are you okay
tonight on your own?

- I can always manage
on my own, Martin.
- Hm.

- See you tomorrow.
- Mmm.

* A dog barks. *

* melancholic music *

* Engine starts. *

You, um... what you said today.

About it...

to be a donor.

Have you been serious?

Oh...

* traffic noise *

* Door is opened. *

- Oh. Hey Martin.
- Hey.

Growing up I thought

there would be room
for everyone in this town.

Now I don't know.

It's like the distance
between people

- just keep growing.
- W
- ell,
people
- g
- rab everything,

at the expense of others, what?

That's exactly right...

to the one on the third floor, Eva-Lotta.

We're sitting in
a, er, party, er...

committee together, you know?

- There is a festival committee in the house?
- There is. Yeah, well...

at the moment it's the two of us

uh, Eva-Lotta and me.

But anyway, we've decided

that we're having a
summer party this year .

Well, down in the courtyard...

And so it came that
I had a large amount

bought soy sausages.

Oh.

But unfortunately it was the case that...

that she ate them
all before the party .

You get it?
So there was no party then.

You know, that kind of thing can
totally drive me insane, like that...

people who just
eat all the sausages.

I mean, there has to be
something for everyone, right?

I don't really care that
much about sausages.

That's what I love
about you, Martin.

[laughs] What?
Not eating sausages?

No... That you would never grab,

before the others
get something too.

- A short one too?
- Yes. I'd love to.

Eva Lotta? - Yes?

Can you come out
with a glass, please.

- Eva Lotta.
- Y
- es, sure,
I'm coming
- E
- va-Lotta.

- Hey.
- Hey, hey, hey.

Martin. You know, right?
- Yes, I know who Martin is.

- You know, we're planning
now Christmas.
- Oh.

Ah...

Thanks.

- Skål, Martin.
- Yes, to your health.
