01x04 - Hand of God

[bunniefuu]

Camera set.

We've seen

several video interviews with you.

We know that you lied about certain

things that you later confessed to.

But looking at these videos

we've concluded

that you're extremely convincing

the whole time.

We can't say.

"Look, he's definitely lying now."

In those notes it says

that Alexandra is very jealous.

She suspects that

you were having an affair with Sara.

Were you?

No.

This must have been

very difficult to determine,

even for Leif Spånbo, the interrogator.

I think that's a myth actually.

There's this fake science

that says you can tell if someone

is lying by their eye movements,

but that's just rubbish.

If you talk to real experts,

they'll tell you

that it's not possible to see

if a person is lying. It's that simple.

And this doesn't apply to me alone.

This is the case in general I think.

So, it's not easy thing to do

of course.

But I don't think that I stand out

in that respect. That's just how it is.

The world would be so simple

if we could see

when someone was lying.

- Emergency 112, how may I help you?

- I don't know.

I just came in here.

There's blood everywhere.

In Knutby.

Shock and despair spread throughout

the little town of Knutby.

The m*rder of the 23-year-old woman

and the attempted m*rder

of her neighbor

is in stark contrast

to this quiet, peaceful community.

This is one of the most bizarre criminal

cases in Sweden in modern time.

A web of religion, sex

and cruel, callous m*rder

unprecedented

in the judicial history of Sweden.

Who was the driving force behind this?

It's an important piece of evidence

that's been manipulated.

It creates doubt among the public.

Is this actually what happened?

This is a difficult time,

but we believe in God.

We're here for one another.

We're not giving up.

PRAY OBEY k*ll

EPISODE 4: HAND OF GOD

HELENE FOSSMO

HELGE'S FIRST WIFE, DIED 1999

The pastor risks a life sentence.

He says he's innocent

of both the shootings in Knutby

and the death of his first wife

four years ago,

which police

have now classified as m*rder.

MOBILE PHONES AND FILMING PROHIBITED

So you and Heléne came

to Knutby in 1997?

Yes, that's right.

I would like you to describe

your relationship in the autumn of 1999.

We had a good marriage.

The problem was, before Knutby,

I worked an awful lot,

which meant that she did everything,

looking after the children and the home.

On December 18, 1999,

Helge Fossmo's first wife Heléne

is found dead in the bathtub.

Her death is not suspicious

so they don't investigate it.

Yet, a few days later,

they go over there.

There's a hole in her forehead.

They want to see if the faucet

matches the hole in her temple.

They can see that everything

has been cleaned.

There is no crime scene left.

It's too late to start an investigation.

Then a preliminary forensic opinion

was obtained.

This reveals toxic levels of

dextropropoxyphene in Heléne's body.

- Dextropropoxyphene is a

- Morphine like.

Precisely,

a strong morphine-like substance.

This would explain why she fell,

but they don't think

there's sufficient reason,

so on January 14, 2000,

they decide to close the investigation

on the grounds

that no crime was committed.

Then in 2004 they look at it again.

When the forensics team arrives there,

they recognize the house.

They'd been there before.

The same pastor, the same house,

wife number two is dead.

Precisely.

When we were going to move to Knutby,

they promised us everything

under the sun.

"The family was important," and so on.

It promised to be

a totally different life

and we really looked forward to it.

It was like that to begin with,

but then

More and more of my time

was taken up

with Åsa and I was constantly torn.

Her wrath was best avoided.

Since Heléne expressed

her concerns about this,

Åsa felt she was jealous of her,

that she didn't understand what

God was doing. So that's why

Åsa was dissatisfied with Heléne.

She felt she didn't deserve me,

since she failed to understand

the importance of my role by her side.

Heléne did everything in her power

to understand that. She

She did her best not to complain.

When she demanded

what was her right as my wife,

Åsa turned against Heléne.

Why was she an enemy?

Because she questioned the fact

that Helge and Åsa

spent so much time together.

She was sensible and spoke her mind.

She got in the way

of God's plan for Helge

and Åsa's relationship.

Åsa brought up the subject

with the rest of us,

"It's not good if Heléne is jealous

of me and Helge.

Helge and I must spend a lot of time

on God's plan for us."

Heléne finds this difficult.

"Pray for Heléne not to be jealous.

This is not okay.

It will hinder our quest."

There's nothing worse than hearing

that you're hindering God's plan.

It's the worst thing you can do.

Now that we know what this meant,

the whole thing was totally bizarre.

- Meant?

- They had a sexual relationship.

That's what it meant for them.

Her authority was built upon

her unique election.

She was chosen specifically by God.

She was Jesus's darling, so to speak,

his woman, his beloved, his bride.

But since Jesus isn't here in person,

that love should be conveyed

through a channel.

And that channel was me

for a long time.

She could suddenly say,

"Speak to me from Jesus now."

If I didn't have anything to say

she'd get really angry,

as if Jesus

didn't have anything to say.

So I had to choose captivating

and encouraging words and

This went from one thing to another.

At first she wanted me

to do stuff with her hair

or massage her face, her feet

and this led eventually to

satisfying her sexually with my hands.

But then she started talking about

consummating this union.

It always started that way,

"I've had these thoughts."

By degrees

those thoughts became truths.

She began to think, despite everything,

that this was right.

Because I had declared

from the start that

I'm not going to have sex with you

because then I'll be one with you,

and I can't do that.

For example,

if I said that I wanted to go home

or that I didn't want to come

she sometimes reacted very strongly.

And then

Åsa usually blamed Heléne, saying

that she was making improper demands.

After a while, she began saying

that she wasn't so sure that God

would allow this, but rather

In that case, remove Heléne because

Åsa was so important.

Nothing else should come before that,

but she

blamed Heléne.

She was the one, in Åsa's eyes,

who was the problem.

If Heléne didn't change her ways,

she would hinder God's will.

God won't allow anything to hinder

His will. He'd sooner remove it.

Åsa chose you to help her

in this regard.

Her demands meant that you were

torn between her and your family.

But you chose the congregation.

Is that right?

Yes.

She wanted Heléne to die.

That's my conclusion.

I'm going to ask you a question.

I want you to think carefully

before you answer.

Did you k*ll Heléne?

No, I did not k*ll Heléne. I

Explain then how Heléne died.

No, I can't. I

I have, up to

last Wednesday, relied upon

the information I received

after the investigation.

That although it was strange,

there was no external cause.

It was an unfortunate accident.

I loved Heléne. I could never

- I don't doubt that.

- I could never I mean, there's

There's a limit as to what

- as to what I'm capable of.

- Where is your limit, Helge?

- Sorry?

- How far could you go?

How far would you go for Åsa?

Have you ever described Heléne

as impure?

Have you ever referred to her as impure,

or that she would be taken home to God?

No. The impure won't

be taken home to God.

I have not described Heléne as impure,

or that she would be taken home to God.

We have a term that we often use,

"That you will die from yourself."

It's not about dying

from your life on earth.

It's about putting aside your ego,

transforming,

changing things about yourself

that are not positive.

We worked with that a lot,

because we wanted that

and Heléne wanted that too.

My questions are based on what

Helge said when questioned,

"If Heléne didn't change,

God might not let her stay."

- Did you express it in this way?

- No.

- You never said that?

- Not in that way.

I can't decide who stays

and who doesn't.

CRIME SCENE RECONSTRUCTION:

HELÉNE FOSSMO

In conjunction with the investigation

into Alexandra's death in January 2004,

Public Prosecutor, Elin Blank,

has decided to reopen the investigation

into Heléne Fossmo's death.

We can see here the faucet

that we think caused

the injury to Heléne's head.

If we assume that she falls,

could she get her injury in this way?

The arrow on the faucet corresponds

with the appearance of the injury.

- Can a person fall in that way?

- No. You would fall like this.

Looking at this reconstruction

in the bathtub,

it's really difficult to figure out how

it happened that she fell like that.

It's impossible to fall like that.

It's not possible to fall

straight into the faucet like that,

fall down, hit the faucet

and land in the bathtub.

It's not possible.

I think it's unbelievably stupid

to believe anything other than

that it is impossible to fall

in that way.

At the trial, professor of orthopedics,

Olle Nilsson,

was one

of the prosecution's leading experts.

One can sustain

a skull fracture in a fall,

but not this type of skull fracture.

I don't agree with his conclusion

and neither do the two forensic

scientists who investigated this.

The coroner who carried out the autopsy

on the pastor's first wife in 1999

and who was called to testify

for the defense, was confident.

The appearance of the injury is

no different from what we usually see

when similar witnessed

fall injuries occur.

BLOOD CONCENTRATION LEVEL

OF 2 MICROGRAMS

LIFE-THREATENINGLY TOXIC DOSE

Why did Heléne have a concentration

of Dextropropoxyphene in her blood

that equaled a lethal dose?

The autopsy shows that she had

dextropropoxyphene in her blood.

- Yes.

- This is an ingredient of Dexofan

which you were prescribed.

Mr. Ahlner, consultant and professor,

says Heléne had ingested

between five and ten tablets,

one to five hours prior to her death.

She was with you during this time.

So I'm asking you, how did the tablets

get into her system?'

Since it's a question

of that amount, I don't know.

HELÉNE FOSSMO

PRONOUNCED DEAD 3.50 PM

- She was poisoned.

- Yes.

How was Heléne?

You just said she was the same as usual

at one o'clock. That can't be right.

I did say that, but she was sick.

I can't remember if we talked.

She was sick. She was weak.

She was nauseous and feverish.

But that description

doesn't fit the autopsy report.

She was poisoned.

Well, I don't know.

I don't know the answer

to that question.

Dextropropoxyphene

is a narcotic substance.

It depends on the level.

If we're talking 2 mg,

then that's a lethal concentration.

It could certainly result in a coma.

So you're saying she wouldn't be able

to get from the bed to the bathroom?

I can't see how she could,

considering the high concentration.

You're very clear on this,

compared to what was said in court.

They argued about this in court.

Some said she died in a fall.

Others said she did not and so on.

How come you're so clear on this,

compared to what was said in 2004?

Dextropropoxyphene

is subject to controversy.

It can no longer be prescribed.

It's not a licensed drug,

since it's so dangerous,

but that wasn't known then.

When you listen

to what this expert says,

you realize this person isn't just sick,

they're practically unconscious.

Yes. I don't know when she took them.

She didn't ingest it orally. There were

no traces of it in her stomach.

What does it mean

if she didn't ingest it orally?

Either vaginally or anally.

All marks, such as needle marks,

have been identified.

Based on the time it takes

for the body to process the drug,

it would need to be taken within

two hours, let's say mid-morning.

Yes. I don't know.

When you examine the circumstances,

I suspect that Helge

administered this poison vaginally

to Heléne.

When she passes out,

he takes her into the bathroom

and lays her in the bathtub.

He unscrews the faucet

and hits her on the temple with it.

I don't believe that she fell.

This is a great source of sadness

for me and for our children and

I have said to Leif Spånbo,

"If you're so convinced

that Heléne was m*rder*d,

then it's your damn duty

as a police officer to investigate it.

But investigating it isn't the same

as asking me time and time again

if I did it.

Look further into it instead."

You can't investigate something

by looking through a straw.

You have to broaden your view.

Åsa Waldau said

that the pastor deceived her,

his wives and the whole congregation.

She describes how the pastor said he had

dreamt that both of his wives would die.

But she admits

that she gave her approval

when he falsified

Heléne Fossmo's autopsy report.

He looked at me and I asked,

"What's that at the end of the form?"

Something about tablets. He said,

"They found tablets in her stomach."

Did she k*ll herself? I asked.

I wondered what this was.

He said, "They didn't find very much,

but I don't want

Heléne's parents to see this,

in case they think

that she k*lled herself."

So I thought it would be unfortunate

if they had to deal with that as well.

And there was that autopsy report

you Tipp-Exed over. Why did you do that?

Because when Åsa saw this she said,

"Heléne's mother has

a medical education. She's a nurse."

She said, "If she sees this toxic dose

of dextropropoxyphene

she might think

that Heléne k*lled herself.

That would not look good for me."

For Åsa and the congregation, that is.

"Erase it."

Åsa says the opposite in her book.

Åsa's book is the greatest collection

of unadulterated lies

ever published in recent times.

And I, well

Altering the autopsy report

was a despicable thing to do,

but I did it

and that's the reason why I did it.

And I've regretted that terribly.

You're both very strong personalities,

but who is the strongest?

Me, but I wasn't evil.

The funeral was a burial.

The Knutby congregation organized

the whole thing. We were left out of it.

They could have asked us about psalms,

or hymns, but they never did.

They were in charge.

I suspect

that Åsa was behind that too.

Yes.

Were you and Helge specially chosen

to intercede for Åsa,

or was the whole congregation involved?

I think at that time,

Helge and I were specially chosen.

Chosen by whom?

I don't really know.

We were masters at lying,

but we didn't think we were lying.

We thought we were protecting a secret.

BRIDE OF CHRIS

It doesn't matter how much I deny it,

I'm married to her.

She's not the Bride of Christ.

She's my wife and I love her.

Yet they'll still write, "The one who

calls herself the Bride of Christ."

MY WIFE IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIS

It was a strategy. All I can say is,

as much as it pains me,

once more, here, I lied.

THE BRIDE OF CHRIST'S

SECRET INTIMATE AC

WITH JESUS IN THE KNUTBY CHAPEL

- Did you become betrothed to Christ?

- No.

I promised God a deeper fidelity.

But a week later I was preaching

that the congregation was the Bride.

I wasn't thinking along

those lines then. For me, this was

So what we read in the papers,

that on March 29, 1999,

together with Helge Fossmo

you went secretly to the chapel.

You put a seven-stone diamond ring

on your finger

and became betrothed to Jesus.

That never happened.

Despite all the attention

that she has been exposed to,

Åsa Waldau appears relaxed in court.

She smiles occasionally and glances

at Sara and the congregation.

She says she was very upset

that Sara Svensson

had a relationship with Helge Fossmo,

but denies that the congregation

turned their backs on her.

After the hearing,

she reached out her hand to Sara

and they clasped hands tightly

for a few moments.

- "Sara is given mercy."

- Yes.

"Yesterday she was given mercy

by the Bride of Christ.

After the hearing

Åsa Waldau defied the court's rules

and reached for Sara's hand, the same

hand that k*lled her little sister."

You can see the symbolism

in Åsa's role here.

For Sara, it's like reaching

for God's hand and receiving it.

She is the Bride of Christ.

She's the closest you can come

to God on this earth.

There's something legal

going on here. That's one thing,

but there's something theological

going on too, within the congregation.

I wonder how many members

of the court realize this.

No one's talking about the Bride

of Christ. They must protect her.

Her role isn't mentioned.

It's obvious they're toning it down.

"She hasn't arranged marriages.

We don't believe she's going home,"

and so on.

They're cutting themselves off.

These are the mechanisms

that are triggered.

CLOSING ARGUMENTS FROM

THE PROSECUTION AND DEFENSE

As regards the charges against Sara,

the question the court must ask

is not if she committed these crimes,

but why she committed them.

Helge Fossmo is an ordinary man,

with no previous convictions.

She carried out the crimes

on the instruction of a person

who had a motive, that both Alexandra

and Daniel had to die.

He has already been convicted

by public opinion.

Obsessed with his power

in the congregation.

Obsessed with conquering women.

Can one convince someone to sh**t

two people that they love?

Obsessed with his incredible ability

to manipulate and deceive people.

Helge Fossmo requests

that he be released.

Helge will be convicted for instigating

the m*rder and the attempted m*rder

of Alexandra,

Daniel and his wife Heléne.

In Sweden we have a tradition where,

after a conviction is made,

then that's the truth.

Unfortunately, convictions

aren't always based on the truth.

The prosecutor already made that

very clear before the trial.

EVIDENCE IS MORE IMPORTAN

THAN TRUTH.

She said,

"I'm not interested in the truth."

It's a pity that the judicial system

doesn't strive to achieve that end.

And I understand that it isn't

always easy to get to the truth,

but it should be the objective.

Saying you're not interested in it

is offensive.

Helge Fossmo was given

a life sentence today

for instigating the m*rder

and attempted m*rder of his second wife

and attempted m*rder

of his neighbor.

The trial was one of the most

sensational in Swedish criminal history.

This was apparent today when

the judgment was announced.

The court found that he ruthlessly

took advantage of her love for him

and her dependency on him

as a religious leader.

His intent was for the victims to die.

Sara Svensson was sentenced

to forensic psychiatric care.

The court could not establish that

Fossmo had m*rder*d his first wife.

While there were a number of

aggravating circumstances for Fossmo,

it was still not possible to rule out

that Heléne died

from a fall in the bathtub.

I'm satisfied that I secured

convictions for both of them.

I'm a little disappointed

in the outcome,

concerning the incident in 1999.

I'm disappointed

in the outcome, obviously,

since my client was convicted

on three charges, despite his denial.

Uppsala District Court

does not consider

that the nanny's serious psychiatric

disorder compromises her credibility.

I do think that the judgement

is lacking here,

especially since there was

no in-depth psychiatric analysis

of a person

with a serious psychiatric disorder

given the role

that she had in the District Court.

Is she credible, since this is

a sick person we're talking about?

Furthermore, we know that

when the nanny was questioned,

she read from her notes

most of the time.

The District Court fails

to mention this in the verdict.

What's interesting in the judgment

I think has to do

with the m*rder and attempted

m*rder of Alexandra and Daniel.

Sara is able to in detail recount

the text messages

that were restored

just before the trial.

She lies to protect Helge

and she holds back

on important information

about how she went about

buying that g*n.

No one asks her about

the footprints in the snow.

No one asks her if she got a lift.

There's a certain kind of atmosphere

surrounding this trial

when you listen to it, as if she has

all the answers.

But Daniel Linde is the only witness

who has seen the perpetrator.

When he's shot and calls 112,

the first thing he says is,

"It was a masked man."

That's the first piece of information.

But in court, he says,

"I could never say that it was a man."

It would be interesting to know

what they asked him about that.

It's quite remarkable.

He changes his story.

I'm standing right inside

the bedroom door.

I've opened it, but I don't move.

I stand there.

Where's the person on the other side?

We know that Sara confessed to this.

If this was an American movie,

someone would yell objection!

A more reasonable question would be,

what do you see at the door?

- An open and simple question.

- He isn't given the chance.

The process has to move along.

Sara did this. We know that.

That's not what we're here

to investigate. We know the truth.

The most serious aspect of

this judgment and the whole trial is

that Sara cannot describe

how the m*rder was carried out.

You mean the three shots

fired at Alexandra?

Shots two and three to the head

are close contact.

Here.

Sara says that she stood at the foot of

the bed when she fired the second shot

and moved a little closer

for the third shot.

It wasn't close contact.

You would expect this

to generate questions.

Why doesn't this correspond

with your confession?

But instead, it's mentioned

in the prosecutor's closing argument,

"That's a detail that does not

diminish Sara's credibility."

There's a politeness about it,

a clarification.

They go along with Sara's story.

She's a m*rder*r

who's being treated like a victim.

Well, maybe that's the case.

And then I walk slowly towards

the utility room door.

I stop here.

I listen for any sounds

and I continue walking slowly.

It's so frustrating

that no one asked these questions.

That we're sitting here today

irritated because no one has

examined this adequately.

The one person who may have

the answers to these questions,

if this is exactly the way

it happened, is Sara.

I'm extremely eager

to ask her these questions.

She hasn't spoken about this

since the trial. 15 years ago?

Yes, it's over 15 years and she has

declined interviews ever since.

After the m*rder, we had a time

when everything was easier.

- Hi.

- Hi. Thank you.

People keep coming,

but what can we do?

I think that people are strange.

Åsa and us, we try to portray ourselves

in a favorable light.

She's known to many

as the Bride of Christ.

Your name is Åsa Waldau, welcome!

People get married, educate themselves,

go on holiday. We live life.

There was even a baby boom

in the middle of this.

- Did you paint these?

- They're my paintings.

Okay. And your book and the album.

Åsa releases her album and writes

her book. There's a lot happening.

I read your book. One person

deceived the congregation.

Otherwise, the congregation was

well-functioning. Is that your view?

Absolutely.

A traditional Pentecostal congregation.

She's thinking maybe she could have

her own TV show and so on.

What would happen

if a real sect came to Sweden,

considering the enormous media

They are now launching a spa

in Knutby.

This is the lounge. There's a lot

of activity here on spa evenings.

We use the products

that we have here.

There's a foot spa, hand massage,

face masks, facial massage

We provide makeup tips

and do makeup, manicures

This says a lot about

the kind of person Åsa is,

a positive, visionary,

fountain of ideas.

CREATE YOUR BRIDE OF CHRIST STYLE

JESUS-PARTY-BRIDE

We were, in a way, superior.

We had been keeping a secret

that was now international news.

The Queen of Heaven

was among us here on earth.

This was spectacular, obviously.

I don't know that much about you.

You're a lovely lady. You're very pretty

and I love your outfit.

- And tell me why are you famous?

- Thank you.

It would take a lifetime to explain.

But then it started to fall apart again.

Åsa didn't get the results she expected

from all the media attention.

The dreams, visions, thoughts

The prophecies relating

to the Bride of Christ disappear.

She feels that the congregation

is not respecting her enough.

Somewhere along the way,

she became extremely disappointed

in the congregation.

She felt they didn't stand up for her.

They didn't respect her as they should.

They didn't praise,

or elevate her enough.

This triggered a degree of stress,

"We must protect her.

We must do everything we can.

Can we do more?"

- What do you mean?

- Eventually, she didn't want to see us.

She was so angry with them.

She was seething.

That's around the time it started.

She was disappointed

in the Swedish people,

the Pentecostal Movement,

the Free Church

and she was increasingly disappointed

in the Knutby congregation.

This is when

Åsa starts to isolate herself.

This was all about her getting

to where she wanted to go.

Åsa was going to be with Jesus.

This was top priority.

It was a constant prayer,

from her too,

even though she would find it so hard

to leave, especially her children.

But there was a period

when we prayed every evening.

We were waiting for God

to do something.

My main role was, not as a pastor,

I was just there for Åsa.

It was my job, along with several

other women, to support her.

So my life consisted

of spending all my time with her.

She was up late at night

so slept late into the day.

We were there before she woke up

and made sure the house was clean

and tidy and the coffee was made.

- How many of you were there?

- Three, perhaps.

I spent all my time, when I wasn't

working or sleeping, with Åsa.

For me, it was a matter

of life and death.

We provided for all her needs.

We left her clothes out.

We had hot towels for her

when she got out of the shower.

- Hot towels?

- We heated them in the tumble dryer.

More people came around during the day,

even men. We all gathered there.

We had to bring her presents,

some she accepted, some she didn't.

We had to bring her presents

and flowers.

She wanted to be celebrated.

Jewelry, loads of jewelry,

flowers, roses, furniture,

kitchen utensils, clothes,

technical equipment, everything.

I remember the first time she told me

that I should give her nicer presents.

And when I bought something

nicer, she said,

"Did you buy this

because of what I said?"

I'd say, "No, of course not."

She wanted me to know that

I didn't have to do as she said,

but that's what she expected of me

and this escalated more and more.

There was an expression,

"You can't go wrong with gold."

Royalty has all the gold and Jesus

has all the money in the world.

He can give me everything,

but he has appointed you to do it.

That's why she traveled so much.

She could do as she pleased.

A winding road.

This is just a fantastic view.

She's on camera!

The goal was

that Åsa would be with Jesus.

That was the ultimate goal.

That's what this was all about.

But there was a struggle

going on there too.

Why? You'll have to ask Urban.

He was the one who

the leader behind it all.

Urban joined us in 2001, or thereabouts.

In the beginning he had a minor role,

but quickly he and Åsa became close.

He became a pastor eventually.

He took over the role

that Helge had occupied,

as some kind of Jesus substitute.

I look forward to a new tomorrow.

A tomorrow filled with hope

I went there to attend Bible School

for a week.

I discovered a great sense of community

and a wonderful atmosphere.

This is what I'd been longing for.

I tell my wife Susanne about it

and she felt the same way.

So we move to Knutby

in the autumn of 2001.

At Bible School in the autumn of 2001,

there's a final party.

She takes me aside and asks me

to read Psalm 45 in the Bible.

It's about the King Messiah

and His Bride.

The King Messiah

has a queen by His side.

When I finish reading it

she says, "It's me."

A woman should be led

by her husband.

A man is head over a woman.

When I stood there thinking

that Jesus is going to be

my husband,

I realize that I must have a man

to lead me, who knows this.

Because I'm a woman

and I can't lead myself there.

Therefore it was logical that Jesus

would send someone to guide me.

I put my trust in this, that Urban

was chosen by Jesus to lead me.

That he would communicate

what Jesus said.

Here is the guide that I need.

Jealous of Jesus, is that even possible?

No, there was none of that.

What I do want to say is,

I think what I began to realize

is that our relationship

had cooled off.

I can't remember who, but someone

began to discuss the situation,

"If Åsa is going to have Jesus,

then Patrik will be on his own."

"I'm going to have Jesus,

so who will Patrik have?"

You didn't have to be a prophet

to figure out that it was Maria

when you saw the way

they were with each other.

Your words give me strength

Your love makes me whole

Let's work this out, Anton.

In 1999, when it's decided that

Åsa Waldau is the Bride of Christ

and she's waiting for Jesus,

something happens between her and

her husband, Patrik, they're married.

Maria, then called Larsson,

joins the congregation.

And then Patrik and Maria

start a relationship.

- And their relationship is secret.

- How was that okay?

They talk to Åsa about it

and she sanctions it,

since she's going to marry Jesus.

It remains a secret.

No one talks about it.

Only a few people knew

about this secret relationship.

Our relationship was an exception.

It was an exception only

because Åsa was the Queen of Heaven.

Otherwise it would

have been unacceptable.

Riding into Wellington Arch

and the others in our company

are the Royal and Highest.

If you could understand who she was,

then you could understand

that Patrik had moved on.

I was his now.

Why didn't you get a divorce?

I would never have allowed my life

to take this direction

if I really believed

that there was any other alternative.

Åsa had to be protected in this,

and I wanted to do that.

Based on what we believed,

it was the best solution

and actually it seemed to be

a really good solution.

When the door closes,

Jesus closed the door

and she withdrew from the congregation.

She didn't want to mix

with people anymore.

She told the others that they should

look up to me as a role model.

They should see the path I had taken

and the difficulties I had overcome.

They should listen to me.

This meant that I was responsible

for what was called the Wall.

We would surround her and prevent

the battle from entering her house.

She was in the middle and we would

be the Wall that would protect her

from the Devil's burning arrows,

as is written.

We would shield her from everything

that came in her direction.

If one of us ducks, what was meant

to hit me will hit her instead

and she will feel that.

She will suffer.

Her frustration was enormous

because she didn't have

what she was longing for.

The gatherings at Åsa's house are just

one big, macabre hate-show,

where she takes out her anger on

every second person in the congregation.

"The ones we love we also hate.

You must stand by me in this hatred."

It got out of hand.

She demanded and we gave.

She demanded more

and we gave even more.

It got to a stage

where we weren't able anymore.

She demanded to be treated

like a queen.

How absurd had this become?

It became so absurd that she felt

that she had the right to hit people.

Anton, I'm reading from

the Nordic Crime Chronicles.

"In film footage shown in court,

Sara comes across as emotionally cold.

She describes, without emotion,

how she shot Daniel and Alexandra.

The six hour-long crime scene

reconstruction film

was edited down to 23 minutes,

demonstrating how Sara

committed her crimes."

Six hours down to 23 minutes

is rather heavy editing.

I walk in without hesitation

Without hesitation.

To here I now raise the revolver

and aim at the body.

We've seen this.

The distance doesn't add up here.

- But it's

- I turn around and leave.

Look

They should have had a camera

following her instead.

- What is this?

- They put it in front of her.

- Different transitions every time.

- Why did they do that?

But six hours,

wasn't that the whole point?

What happened in between?

I'm prepared to leave,

but right here

I begin to feel anxious.

I turn here and go up again.

The second time I come in

- We're only there

- Here, roughly.

"The reconstructions were carried out

in an exemplary manner.

The interrogation officer present

was new to the investigation,

which was good.

This meant that the officer

could remain neutral

and could not subconsciously,

or in any other way

unintentionally influence

the reconstruction."

How does the person

who wrote the report know

that the person hasn't influenced Sara?

You can't even see the person.

When you scroll through this,

she's the only one in image.

A six-hour crime scene reconstruction

film edited to 23 minutes?

What the hell have they not shown?

I understand that I have done

what I was supposed to do

and then I turn around and leave.
