Anxious People (2021) s01e05 Episode Script

ANXIOUS PEOPLE
[ringing tone]
How could an estate agent
rob a bank in the middle of a viewing?
[Jack] That's exactly what's so smart.
Don't you see?
- She managed to create a flawless alibi.
- Oh, please.
Hello, you've reached Maria
at the estate agency Läget.
We're glad that you called,
but I sadly can't answer
Okay, what do we know?
They were all there.
Eight people left the apartment.
After that, it was empty.
There was nobody else in there.
Therefore, it means that
one of the eight has to be the robber.
She ran into the apartment
wearing a mask,
and when the hostages were released,
she took her ski mask off
and followed them out
without anyone noticing.
Come on. It makes sense.
Also, it's so, so bloody easy, isn't it?
And she is the one
who has the best motive.
It's all here.
And she won't answer her phone,
I've tried her at least a thousand times.
[sighs] You're jumping
from suspect to suspect,
convincing yourself every time.
She's the only one we have left.
It's got to be her.
- Well, I I don't get it.
- Yeah, but [sighs]
Estelle Gustavsson.
Yes. You asked me
to come in to see you today.
Would you mind waiting outside?
- We're wrapping something up.
- Yes, sure. I'm not going anywhere.
[clears throat]
- Have you given this some time?
- Yes, I have.
And therefore,
I believe that it could be her.
Okay, why do you have to speak to Estelle?
[sighs] Yeah, there are facts
that point to the chance
that Estelle helped her, maybe.
What are these facts?
- Estelle Gustavsson.
- Oh. Yeah, yeah. I'm coming.
[Jack] I'm sorry to have kept you waiting.
There's a lot going on.
Yes, don't worry at all.
Please, have a seat.
I'll try to answer
as well as I can remember,
but my memory's
no longer as good as it was.
But you do remember going to
your own apartment for the viewing,
and acting as if
you were likely to buy it?
[breathing shakily]
[knocking]
I just wanted to ask if anyone's hungry?
There's food in the freezer.
Well, I mean, there probably is.
Well, there usually is in there.
No, thank you. Not for me. I'm not hungry.
Oh. Just let me know
and I'll get it for you.
[lighter clicking]
You can't do that, not in here.
Oh, why would you think that?
Oh, is it because of
[whistles]
That's one part of it,
but this is a viewing.
[laughs] Well, it's hardly
a normal viewing.
Look, here's an ashtray.
What's that for, then?
There must already
have been smokers in here before.
Yes, and look here. Look!
Look at that. The smoke goes straight up.
Up! Up to the ceiling.
It's a perfect place to smoke.
- [Anna-Lena] Oh.
- [Julia sighs]
Well, I guess it's difficult for you,
being stuck in here,
while your husband's out there.
Parking, I mean.
Knut has no doubt parked somewhere by now.
- How long have you been together?
- Hmm! My God.
[laughs] Forever.
- I think Ro is seeing someone else.
- [Anna-Lena] No. Really?
[Julia] She's totally off.
That's why she's not prepared
to invest in this with me.
She doesn't see a future with me.
She's with someone else.
- [Anna-Lena] No! She can't be doing that.
- Aah.
But you're freaked out, then?
You don't do that
to someone you're in love with.
Would it surprise you if I told you
that I'd had an affair long ago?
[laughs]
Have you really been unfaithful?
[Estelle] To err is human.
With a neighbour.
He read a lot, just like me.
Knut, meanwhile, he never read anything.
But this neighbor, Klas-Göran,
I noticed that whenever I got in the lift,
he always had a book under his arm
when we saw each other.
- Oh.
- Oh, yeah?
And one day he said,
"I finished reading this book today."
"You, no doubt,
would have a lovely time reading it."
And that was when you
- [all laughing]
- Did you?
I ended up lending a book to him.
And then he lent a book to me.
I then lent him a book again.
- And so on and so on. Hmm.
- Uh-huh.
Until this one time, when I opened
a certain book that I'd borrowed from him,
there was an extra something
that dropped right out of it.
- Okay.
- And what was it?
It was the key
to where he lived next door.
Aah.
Okay. And then you and he did some
No, no, no.
[all laughing]
[Estelle] No, I went back home.
And I flirted many nights thinking
of what I could do by using that key.
A thousand times,
I inserted the key into his lock,
but that was a fantasy, and that's all.
- Hang on a minute. So
- What? Oh my God.
So you never did it in the end?
I couldn't bear
to do such a thing to Knut.
Oh my God, you're a slapper.
- Oh! Slapper!
- [all chuckling]
Then, when Knut died,
nearly six years ago
[sighs]
so too did Klas-Göran,
a few weeks later on.
Since then, my life has been very empty,
not to mention my apartment.
So Knut is not parking at the moment?
Like I said,
he's no doubt parked somewhere.
Well, ladies, when we're talking
about things like these,
I really want a glass of wine.
You see, there's wine in here.
There's an entire box.
What's wrong?
This apartment's yours.
- No. No, no, no. No!
- Yes, it is. You know there's wine.
That's why you know
there's food in the freezer
and that's why you're so comfortable
with smoking in the house.
You opened the toilet
with a key, I remember.
Okay. Sure. You're right.
Yes, you have outsmarted me.
Okay, I live here.
- [muffled voice]
- [gasps]
[coughing]
[whimpering]
[thumping and scraping]
What was that? Do you have a pet?
No. No, no, no, no, no.
[scraping and groaning]
- What?
- [Julia] My God!
[Jack] I'll get right to the point.
In the last six months, you've cancelled
all viewings that were arranged for you.
Why did you do that?
Oh, I guess that
I guess I have had second thoughts
at the last minute.
It's not that easy to sell somewhere
you've been living for so long.
Mm-hm.
But, though, isn't it true
that you have had a guilty conscience
towards a certain person,
Maria Oredsson, for that?
Meaning the agent?
Yes, the estate agent. I think you know
precisely who I'm talking about.
You and I also know she's heading
towards bankruptcy. Don't you?
- Oh?
- Yes.
It's okay. You can drop the act.
Isn't it true that you have had
such a bad conscience
that you've wanted to help her
by giving her an alibi
during the bank robbery?
No, that isn't
Why on Earth would I do that?
This is the gun from the robbery.
Do you recognise it?
No, no.
But how, then, would you say
that your fingerprints happen to be on it?
Uh I
I have no idea.
That just isn't true, Estelle.
Let's be honest for a moment.
You helped her get this weapon?
- No.
- Is it maybe your husband's old revolver
that you lent her
so that she could use it for the robbery?
- Could you answer the question?
- [tapping]
Jack?
- Not now. It's a little
- It's concerning the suspect.
What, the
[sighs]
Just a second.
Um, Maria Oredsson is currently
on board a bus from Stockholm.
[Jack] But where?
It's about three minutes away from here.
- You'll have to stay here.
- Okay.
[Jack] Keep her here.
Maria Oredsson is arriving in three
minutes. She's on a bus from Stockholm.
This may be our only chance to catch her.
Jack! Wait up!
- Maria Oredsson?
- [woman] Oh!
- Has anybody seen Maria Oredsson?
- No.
- She has brown blonde
- I haven't.
[Jack] Uh, pretty short
Maria Oredsson!
- Thanks.
- Thank you. Thanks.
Jack, calm down.
- Can I help you?
- Check the other side of the bus.
- What?
- Go, yes! Go out and check.
- [woman] No, sorry.
- All right, fine. [grunts]
Hey.
- Maria Oredsson?
- Jack!
Wait. You need to listen to me.
- Not now.
- Let me go!
- There's something I must
- Are you Maria Oredsson, the estate agent?
- Yes.
- Why aren't you answering your phone?
- Huh?
- You'l have to come with us. This way.
- Okay
Maria, it's like this.
Right now, you're a suspect
and you haven't answered
a single phone call.
I have just been at a silent retreat.
A silent retreat?
It's incredible.
People don't speak for an entire week.
- Okay
- It frees your thoughts, you iknow?
Mmm.
Thing is, Maria, that Ahem.
You see, nobody has said anything,
or mentioned you at all.
Almost as if you weren't
even there, it seems like.
Okay. But I was there.
- Something moved.
- Something's there.
- [Lennart] Is it a cat?
- [Julia] It's not.
- I heard something coughing.
- Me too, but it's definitely a cat.
- [Zarah] A cat?
- [Julia] Estelle was smoking
- In a wardrobe?
- What's all this kerfuffle for?
- They said there's a smoke allergic cat.
- A pet or something.
- It's a cat.
- Some animal's got into the wardrobe.
[Roger] Have you looked inside?
- No, it could be dangerous.
- Move aside.
- No, wait, Roger.
- Fuck off.
- What are you gonna do to it? Roger!
- It could be
Could be bloody anything in there.
There, little kitty.
Come out and get some food. Come here.
- [woman screams]
- [yells] Ow!
- Roger!
- [Roger yelling]
- [Lennart] What's going on?
- [all screaming]
- [gasping]
- Roger!
- [Lennart] What the hell's going on?
- Oh, I'm sorry.
- Oh, hey.
- Oh my God.
How nice to see so many people here, uh
Have you have you looked
around the whole apartment yet?
- Uh
- [groans]
[all sigh]
Uh In a wardrobe?
Okay, okay. You see,
I'm terrible at, uh selling.
You see, I'm no
Well, I'm not very good at my job,
so sometimes I have to step away
- and pump myself up a little.
- Wait a second.
- What what do you mean by
- They started screaming.
And then I was scared
and wanted to to just disappear.
So I climbed up there. In the wardrobe.
- Okay
- I'm not very good at hiding,
but I chose to hide up there.
Wasn't the best idea, up there, I guess.
I mean, looking back.
Okay.
Um, so, Maria, I have had a look
at your financial situation.
Both your company's finances,
and your personal finances. There you are.
Well, it doesn't look very bright for you,
if I may say so.
The estate agency Läget hasn't
sold a property in about six months.
Okay. Yeah, I guess
I'm a lazy slacker, some might say.
Numbers aren't really my thing.
I uh [sighs]
I'm not great with economics..
I find it very hard sticking to a budget.
I'm pretty bad-at it.
Well, in my book, it's
a pretty clear motive for robbing a bank.
Now I'm just wondering, was it yours
or Estelle's idea to rob the bank?
What do you mean?
When the bank robbery went wrong,
and you ran straight into me,
you were forced to flee up into
the apartment and take everybody hostage.
Isn't that right?
What? No.
Yes? Hello?
- Yeah?
- Hey, uh
- Yes?
- Should Estelle Gustavsson
get something to eat?
Yes, this is Jim Johansson speaking.
What did you
Yes, I am.
- Would you like something to eat, Estelle?
- No, thank you.
- It's three-zero
- [Cecilia]waiting much longer
Where?
I haven't robbed any bank.
- I couldn't do it.
- Try to make it clearer for me.
Where, then, was the robber
when I entered the apartment later?
By then, it was empty.
- Probably still in there, I guess.
- That's wrong! You
Jack.
Just give us a little while,
would you do that?
It's Jill.
It's bad. Really bad. Come on.
Well, um
[Jack] What did she take?
I don't know.
They just said it was an overdose.
[phone ringing]
- Yeah, it's Jim.
- [Cecilia] Hello.
Hey, the estate agent
and the old lady are still here.
Okay. Let them go. And one more thing.
Estelle Gustavsson.
Make sure to give her keys back to her.
- Okay.
- We don't need her apartment keys.
- No, Papa
- Absolutely, I'll get right on it.
Okay. Tell Jack to drive carefully.
- There's snow in Stockholm.
- Okay. Bye.
- Well, I
- Not another word about weird theories.
Not even a word.
So, who the hell is the robber?
None of them, by the look of it.
Don't you trust me any more, Papa?
[Cecilia] Good. Do you have your bag?
- So, there we are. You can go home.
- Thank you.
[lock buzzes]
- Hmm. Bye.
- Bye.
Bye.
What did you tell them?
Nothing in particular.
I'm not very good at being interrogated.
No, the most important thing is that
we always tell them
- the same version each time.
- [sighs] I know.
Well, I'm not very good
at remembering things.
I really think you should work
on your self-esteem.
- You think so?
- Yes, I do.
- Okay.
- You're good enough as you are, dear.
I think it is broken.
It's definitely broken.
- It has to be broken.
- I'm gonna help you.
- Leave me alone!
- Let me see it now. Roger, let me see.
What's going on?
[Anna-Lena] Oh!
Why the hell would you
What the hell What's this?
We we've seen your face now.
You'll have to kill us now.
- No.
- Yes, you do.
- You kill us or you'll get caught.
- [Anna-Lena] No!
Calm down!
- Uh
- It's all right.
Calm down? You sick bastard!
- [screaming]
- [all gasping]
- No!
- Help me, for God's sake.
- Hold her down.
- [Roger grunts]
You could have killed my wife.
You sick bastard.
- You could have killed her!
- [choking]
The gun just went off.
I got scared myself.
- [sobbing]
- [Roger sighs]
[robber sobbing] I'm sorry. I didn't
I swear to you
that I didn't wanna hurt anyone.
[crying] I just want my girls. I'm sorry.
[breathing shakily]
- [Roger] Get down.
- I must get out of here.
I must get out of here. I
I need to get out!
[shrieks]
[crying] I don't know what to do,
I'm telling you.
I just wanted
everything to be okay. I'm sorry.
- Stop pinning her.
- They're everything to me.
My little girls.
[weeping]
Stop pinning her.
Now, we want to hear
what you have to say, then.
[sobbing]
[sighs]
There she is.
[sighs]
Papa.
[ventilator hissing softly]
Don't say anything.
I know you're sorry. Don't say anything.
Everything will be fine.
You'll come back home soon enough.
[sniffles]
Everything will be fine.
I promise.
[sobbing]
Hey
Well? Tell me.
She's stable.
But we'll see
what the next few days'll bring.
Fine.. Let's go, then.
Aren't you gonna say hi?
Well, I've got to work early tomorrow,
and it's a long way home,
so we really must go.
Okay.
[lift rumbling]
So I panicked and ran in here.
- [sobbing]
- [sighs]
Of course, I should have given up
in the bank, but
I had to get the money,
otherwise I would lose custody, and
[crying] The girls are all
that matters to me.
So, what do we do now, then?
Thank you for being honest with us.
[robber] It doesn't change
what I've done to you.
How could you ever forgive me for this?
It's totally crazy.
Nobody's perfect here, I assure you.
We must take time to make sure
our stories are identical.
- Uh, in that case, I must eat.
- How can you think about a meal now, Ro?
We've been here for several hours.
I'd also like some food.
Okay, so how do we get some sort of meal?
The chance of that's not really good.
In a hostage situation, the police have
to agree to demands of all kinds.
I'm sure of that. We should get a meal.
Who fancies pizza?
[chuckling]
- [Ro] Yes.
- I wouldn't say no.
- [Lennart] Yeah, great.
- Me too.
[ringing tone]
- Yes, Liv speaking.
- Um, hi, it's Estelle.
Hi, Estelle.
So, I've arrived
back in the apartment now.
So you're welcome to move in tomorrow,
if you still want to.
Uh, well, I I don't know. I
I don't think this will work.
[alarm beeping]
Jack, can we please do this quickly?
I'm totally shattered.
Yeah, I'm just checking something.
- [bleep]
- Well, can we check it tomorrow? No?
Just gonna check the surveillance footage
from the bank. Won't take long.
- [sighs]
- [beeping]
[lock bleeps]
Well, I wanna see if the robber
and the estate agent look alike.
Physically, I mean.
Jack
Where did we put it? The hard drive
with the surveillance film?
- Jack, look, that's enough now.
- Have you done something with it?
Jack, I deleted it.
What the hell have you done?
[sighs heavily] Yeah, I deleted it.
- Are you sheltering whoever did this?
- I couldn't do anything else. I had to.
[laughs] Oh my
Okay, wa wait there, would you?
So you think you know the robber,
and you're protecting him?
Yeah.
