[Stefan] I don't know.
Excu… Can I… What…
[Daniel] Hi.

THE ÅRE MURDERS
HIDDEN IN SHADOWS PART 2
[Daniel] Okay.
Good. Thank you.
Guys.
Mountain Rescue just sent up
a second chopper.
Yeah, and Östersund PD blocked the exits
on the E14 to Åsarna.
We've informed
the Storlien border station.
- I'll keep checking the traffic cams.
- Okay.
- Alain, come on.
- [phone ringing]
Daniel Lindskog, Åre PD.
[footsteps approaching]
I didn't know you smoked.
So any news yet?
We've been getting
a lot of, uh… a lot of tips, but…
What kind of tips?
Nothing important, unfortunately.
Just, uh…
Well, except for that stupid van
with a busted taillight.
It came up again.
You need anything?
Something to eat?
A cup of tea, maybe?
No, I'm good.
Thank you.
[knocking at window]
[Raffe] Ole Nordhammar's Skoda Sportline
was caught on camera 53 minutes ago
on the E14 in Ånn.
It hasn't crossed
the Norwegian border yet.
[Daniel] Hanna?
Yeah?
He must've exited the E14 somewhere
between Ånn and the border.
It's like trying to find a needle
in a haystack.
Do they own property there?
- Like a cabin or something?
- I didn't find anything.
All right, check if they have a connection
to any locations or real estate.
Where are you going?
- Well, I have to find her.
- It'll take weeks to search the area.
You won't find anything.
I… I need you to watch Alice
a few more hours.
[uneasy music playing]
[music subsides]
What is it?
- Are you tired?
- Yeah.
- Should we head back, then?
- No, absolutely not.
Okay, so what is it?
I should have never left her by herself.
No, but that's what happened. Okay?
- Don't be too hard on yourself.
- Yeah, well, what else can I do?
- We're doing the best we can.
- No. No, this is not my best.
Is this your best? You wanna go home.
- You're tired. I'm tired.
- Don't tell me I'm tired. I'll know.
Can you stop blaming yourself
all the time, huh?
You're a good cop,
and you know that you are.
We do our best,
and sometimes that still isn't enough.
That's how it is.
- What do you wanna do?
- I wanna keep looking for her.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
But let's take a little break.
And after the break,
we'll continue searching for her.
Okay?
- Uh-huh.
- Okay.
[gentle piano music playing]
[unsettling music playing]
[Rebecka breathes heavily]
[panting]
[door slams]
[gasps, coughs]
[coughs]
- [creaking]
- [breathing nervously]
[grunts, groans]
[whimpers, groans]
[whimpers, sobs]
[sobs]
[Daniel snoring]
[phone ringing]
- Hi, Anton.
- Hi.
We've spoken to everyone who's known Ole
since elementary school, and…
Well, this might be a long shot,
but many years ago, Ole used to
work in the soapstone factory in Handöl.
It was shut down, but it's in the area,
so we've, uh, sent a helicopter there.
Okay, we'll check it out. Thanks.
The soapstone factory in Handöl.
Is it near here?
Uh-huh.
[siren wailing]
[Ole] Dear heavenly Father.
Your time, your plan, and your wisdom
are greater than mine.
[breathing nervously]
Please guide me.
[Rebecka sobbing]
Guide Rebecka.
In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
[sobbing continues]
[footsteps approaching]
[whimpering]
[footsteps approaching]
[Rebecka whimpers, sobs]
I turned to God for answers.
[Ole groans in pain]
Rebecka!
Stay here!
[Rebecka panting]
[wind howling]
Help!
[siren wailing]
[dispatcher] 0-2,
please state your location, over.
[Ole] Rebecka!
Stop!
Unit 0-2, two minutes from Handöl.
We're right above you.
[unsettling music playing]
[Daniel] Ole's Skoda is parked here.
Unit 0-2, arrived on scene.
No one is in the area.
All I see is the tree line. There!
Two individuals
traveling eastbound on foot.
[rotor blades whirring]
[Daniel] Hanna!
[wind whistling]
[panting]
[whimpering]
[Hanna] Let her go!
Police! Let her go!
[Hanna panting]
Let her go!
[Rebecka whimpers]
[tense music swells]
[gunshot]
[somber music playing]
It's gonna be okay.
[music subsides]
- [Hanna] It's over now, Rebecka.
- Mm-hmm.
Okay?
- [medic] Ready to go?
- Yeah. Thanks.
PARAMEDIC
POLICE
[melancholy music playing]
[Grip] Hanna,
you talked to Rebecka Nordhammar
before she was taken to the hospital.
Hanna?
Hmm?
She said that
she doesn't know where Ole was
the night Johan was murdered, so…
Well, our forensics team will do
a sweep of their house overnight.
They'll find something.
Daniel?
For now, just go home. Take the evening.
Gather your thoughts and get some rest.
You are to appear
in Östersund at 2:00 p.m. tomorrow
for an interview regarding the incident.
I know the procedure.
You saved a woman's life today, Daniel.
[door opens]
[door closes]
- [Daniel] Hey.
- Hey.
Welcome home.
Thank you.
Is Alice asleep?
- Mm-hmm.
- Okay.
Did you have a good time?
We had a good time. Yeah.
- What about you?
- Yeah.
Well, uh…
actually,
I had a little trouble, uh,
concentrating because of, uh…
Well, because my mom
was calling me nonstop.
About what?
Uh, you know,
she called me to say how she, uh,
how she couldn't find
Alice's shirts, or, uh,
how Alice didn't wanna eat,
or how you'd left her hat in the car…
Ah, why didn't she call me?
- Well, I'm the one she calls.
- That's not my fault.
- Oh.
- You can tell her that.
- What should I say?
- That she should have been calling me.
I was the one responsible.
Or was my mom responsible?
[sighs] Come on, Ida.
Why is that bowl on the floor?
Did you have a dog here?
Alice has either been with me
or with her grandmother.
- Okay? She's been fine!
- Did she have a good time at your job?
Yes, you told me it was my mess,
didn't you?
- So I took care of it!
- You're starting to act like your dad.
[Ida shrieks]
[Alice crying]
- Get out.
- Don't bring up my father.
Get out of here.
[Alice continues crying]
[door opens]
[door closes]
[phone buzzing]
Hey, it's Carl.
Hi. This is, uh, Anton.
Hey.
Hey. Um…
I just wanted to tell you that we, uh,
we have a suspect for Johan's murder.
Really? Who is it?
I'm afraid I can't tell you right now.
Okay.
Anyway, it'll be in the papers tomorrow,
so you could read about it then.
I understand.
So, uh, yeah,
thank you for letting me know.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, so, I mean…
That's all I…
No, wait. I've… I've…
I've been thinking,
um, about you.
And me, and, uh…
You and me, and…
That, uh…
Damn it. I'm sorry. Uh…
I'm really terrible at this. Um…
But, I mean…
Yeah, now there are no restraints
with my work, so…
we can… we can see each other.
If you'd like.
Are you hungry?
- Like, right now?
- Yeah.
I'm cooking right now, so…
When can you be here?
In ten seconds.
[laughs] Wait, what?
I'm right outside.
OLE WAS STRADDLING REBECKA
WITH HIS HANDS AROUND HER THROAT.
I IDENTIFIED MYSELF AS A…
[Daniel] Hey.
What are you doing here?
I was, um, writing this report. [sighs]
What are you doing here?
Well…
I'm sorry.
Daniel, I'm sorry. I don't know what…
I should've shot him.
- I misjudged the situation.
- It can happen to anyone.
It's okay.
- Sorry.
- It's okay.
Do we have anything strong to drink?
Raffe's Pisco?
I'll get glasses.
Me and Ida had a fight.
The usual.
I'm away too much. I work too much.
I'm not there for Alice.
And she's probably right.
But it cuts so much deeper
when she says I'm just like my father.
Why's that?
He wasn't a nice person.
All my life,
I've been trying not to be like him.
But here I am, sitting here,
being as absent as he was.
I just don't get it, really.
Give it a few years. Maybe one day
you'll be sitting here like this too.
If I became like my mother,
I'd simply die, like, right away.
I haven't met anyone
more self-absorbed than she is.
Hmm.
Guess you have to draw a line, right?
Fuck, I screwed up today.
How can I be a good parent?
I don't get it. It's so hard.
Daniel.
You're good.
[gentle music playing]
- Maybe you should get going.
- Yeah.
Wait, you've been drinking.
You shouldn't drive.
I'll just take a cab.
- We'll have to buy a new bottle for Raffe.
- Yeah.
- See you tomorrow.
- Yeah.
[gentle piano music playing]
[door opens]
[door closes]
I'M SORRY. LET'S TALK TOMORROW?
- Good morning, Hanna. This is Grip.
- [Hanna] Hi. Good morning.
[Grip] The forensics didn't find
anything at Ole Nordhammar's house.
- I just thought I'd let you know.
- [Hanna] Okay.
[Grip] Ole was with the church board
on the night of Johan's murder.
Several independent witnesses
have confirmed this.
[Hanna] So it wasn't him?
[Grip] No, apparently not.
Bye.
- See ya soon.
- Mm.
I'll call you tonight.
[unsettling music stab]
[officer] …also, there was
a reported car theft this morning.
Okay. Then we'll be busy today as well.
- Thanks.
- Yeah.
Hey.
Hey.
- [Anton] Hanna?
- Yeah?
[Anton] Could I run something by you?
- [Raffe] Seriously?
- Okay.
Where… where's the Pisco?
What the hell?
All right, who went through my stuff?
Huh? Was it… was it you?
Me? No.
- [Raffe] Are you sure?
- Yeah, I'm sure. It wasn't me.
- [Anton] So can we go somewhere private?
- Uh-huh. Sure.
So, um, you know that van
that we, um, received a few tips about?
Uh-huh.
The dark van
that was spotted near the train bridge
the night of Johan's murder.
- Right?
- That's right.
Carl Willner owns a dark van.
Okay. Well, there are plenty
of dark vans in Åre, I'm sure.
Yeah, but his has a busted taillight.
Okay.
Good.
Let's check it out.
We'll bring him in. Nice.
So, uh, how do you know this?
I'm, um… Well, I'm intimately…
I'm intimately involved with him.
- Intimately involved?
- Yeah, sexually involved.
Sexually involved.
You were, or you are right now?
I should've mentioned this before.
I know, I mean…
I met him, uh, that same, uh,
that same night at Bygget, you know?
That was before we had identified Johan.
I called it off the, uh,
the moment I realized. I ended it.
But after we found a… a prime suspect,
I saw him again.
[Hanna sighs]
I didn't talk to him about
the investigation, not even once.
I certainly hope you didn't.
Does this…
Can… can we keep this thing
just between me and you?
You slept with a suspect.
I mean, what do you want me to do?
I've, uh, always been discreet
about my private life,
and I'd like to be seen as…
as a good colleague and friend
by people here.
That's not always how it works
at a police precinct
when you're, uh,
when you're gay.
[Hanna breathes deeply]
Um, yeah, just say you're sick
and go home.
I'll say I got a tip or something.
- Okay.
- Uh-huh.
But, hey, you could've said something.
I sat there like an idiot.
I know.
I'm sorry.
[sighs]
[Anton] Hanna.
- Thank you.
- Don't mention it.
[uneasy music playing]
[Hanna] So we've looked at your car.
Uh, why… why is this even relevant?
[Hanna] The taillight is broken.
[Carl] So you brought me in
for questioning?
[chuckles]
Tell me exactly what you did
the night of the murder
after Johan left the restaurant.
I told you this before.
I worked in the kitchen, as usual.
One of your employees said
that you left early.
[Carl] Um, yeah.
Yeah, that's right. I… I had a headache.
I get them sometimes.
What's that gotta do with Johan?
I don't get it.
[Hanna] You were the last one
to see Johan alive.
Carl, we found traces of Johan
in your van.
Can you explain that?
What kind of traces?
'Cause I…
Yeah, I do use the van sometimes, but…
It's parked outside the restaurant.
We use it for pickups and deliveries
and stuff like that, but…
[Hanna] Who else has access to it?
Um, the staff, of course.
CALL ME. PLEASE.
[Carl] So you really think… Fuck.
Okay. You have to believe me.
I would never hurt Johan in any way.
Johan was my best friend.
- I'm keeping you here.
- What? For what?
Write down the names of everyone
with access to your van.
Thank you.
[footsteps retreating]
Hey.
Hey.
ROOM: 1
What do you think?
I think he's either a damn good actor
or he's innocent.
[Hanna] Hmm.
I have to go to Östersund
for that meeting.
Okay.
- I'll be back as soon as I can.
- Mm-hmm.
[phone buzzing]
[Hanna] Uh…
I, um, have to go anyway.
[Hanna] Right.
Hello?
Listen. The night that Johan was
murdered, Jens Wernolf took Carl's van.
Wait. Sorry, what did you say?
And where are you?
I'm at Carl's restaurant.
I'm sorry. Uh…
[splutters] I just, uh… I had a
feeling that he, uh, he's not the…
I just can't wrap my head around
him being involved.
Say that again.
- What part?
- The first thing.
Oh, um, Jens took Carl's van
the night of the murder.
How do you know that?
I'm checking
some of their security camera footage.
At 6:43 p.m., he's seen on camera
getting into the van.
Okay, um, we'll send someone.
Yeah, but you have to go home now.
Yeah, of course. I promise. Sorry.
But… but, Anton, good job.
Thanks.
Bye.
[Raffe] Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay. Thanks.
Jens Wernolf isn't with Linus.
He's with his ex-wife and his son.
Shall we?
- Yep.
- Okay.
[phone chimes]
["Psychosis" by Jiuce playing on radio]
I'M SORRY TOO. LET'S TALK.
[DJ on radio]
That was "Psychosis" by Jiuce.
We have the band's singer,
Mario Johansson, here with us today.
You were tremendously unlucky
in the slopes in Åre a week ago,
weren't you?
[Mario] Yeah, that's right.
I had to make a bit of a steep curve
to move aside for another skier,
and I fell.
- Now I have a bunch of nails in my knee.
- [DJ] And were your fans disappointed?
[Mario] Yeah. Well, we had to, uh,
we had to cancel.
But, uh, hopefully, we'll get to
play again soon in Östersund
to compensate for this canceled concert.
[car doors open]
[car doors close]
[Hanna knocking on door]
- Hi.
- [Hanna] Hi, Marion.
Is Jens here?
Yeah.
We'd like to talk to him.
- Okay, about what?
- About Johan.
Um, he… But Jens can't have anything
to do with Johan.
Is he in there?
Uh… Well, he's upstairs
helping Leo pack.
We're going to, uh, to visit my parents.
Jens is joining us.
- Oh, hi.
- [Hanna, Raffe] Hey.
[Jens] Hey.
We need you
to come with us to the station.
Uh, what for?
[Hanna] We'd like
to ask you some questions.
- [Jens] You can ask your questions here.
- We'll ask them at the station.
- You can ask your questions here.
- [Raffe] Come on.
- Do you have the right to force me
- Anything sharp in your pockets?
- [Jens] What the hell do you think?
- No! Wait! Papa?
It's okay.
- [Marion] Leo, let's go upstairs.
- Why are they taking Papa? Why?
- But it wasn't him!
- Leo. Leo, go upstairs.
- Why are you taking Papa?
- [Marion] Let's go up to your room.
- [Leo] But they can't take him.
- [Raffe] Okay. Turn around.
[Marion] We're gonna
talk about it, okay?
[Leo] Are they arresting him?
- Don't move.
- [Leo] Why aren't you doing anything?
- So I think I'll hang around for a bit.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
- I'll send someone to pick you up.
- Please do.
- [Leo] But they're arresting him.
I'm just gonna check on them.
- I'll need you to get into the car.
- No, no, no.
- Let's go. Get in the car.
- No, no, no.
[both grunt]
[handcuffs rattling]
[Raffe] There we go.
Watch your head.
[grunts]
[phone buzzes]
- Hello?
- [Daniel] Hi. About Marion's alibi…
- Jiuce didn't play that night.
- What's that?
The opening act never played.
The concert didn't start until 9:00 p.m.
- How do you know?
- I just heard it on the radio.
Marion said the opening act started
at 7:00 p.m., but they never played.
- The concert started at 9:00.
- I'll get back to you. Thanks.
- [Marion] What are you doing?
- [Leo] Stop it!
- Stop screaming!
- I can't take it anymore!
- You have to be strong!
- Don't touch me!
- Calm down. Everything's gonna be okay.
- You're stupid!
[Marion] Try to calm yourself down.
[pensive music playing]
[Marion] What are you doing here?
Checking to see if you're okay.
Yeah. We're okay.
The curtains…
They're in the laundry.
I would like you to leave now.
Yeah.
Do you know Rebecka Nordhammar?
- Uh-uh.
- Johan never mentioned her name?
No.
He talked about his colleagues sometimes,
but I can't remember every name he said.
- Johan knew her well.
- Okay.
I don't know who she is. I'm sorry.
The night of the murder, at the concert,
did you see the opening act?
- Yeah.
- What band was it?
Jiuce.
- Why are we talking about this?
- They never went on.
Right.
Right. They didn't.
I forgot about that.
- I want you to leave now.
- Where are the curtains?
I told you I threw the curtains away.
Now can you please leave?
- [Marion] Leo.
- I can't take it.
[Leo sniffles]
Leo.
[Leo] I can't take it anymore.
- [Hanna] What's wrong, Leo?
- Mom, I…
- Leo. Leo.
- I can't take it anymore.
- Mom, I can't take it anymore!
- Sweetheart, please. It was my fault.
It was an accident. It wasn't… Leo. Leo!
Hey.
Leo, don't go!
Leo, honey.
Leo! Leo!
Stop!
[panting]
[sobs] I can't lie anymore, okay?
I'm a murderer! It's all my fault!
No.
Sweetie.
Hey.
Come here, sweetie. Come here.
Hey, look at me. It's gonna be all
right. It's gonna be okay, sweetie.
[Leo] I didn't mean to.
[Marion] I know.
I tried to call.
Don't worry.
It is not your fault, sweetheart.
It was an accident.
He didn't mean to do it.
[Marion] And what about Leo?
- What's gonna happen to him?
- [Johan] Come on.
I can't believe you're choosing Rebecka
over Leo and me as if we don't matter.
- Don't drag Leo into this! Understand?
- You're not just turning your back on me.
- You're turning your back on him too.
- [Johan] Fuck you!
[Marion sobs]
[uneasy music playing]
- [Leo screams]
- [loud thud]
- [music plays]
- [crowd cheers]
[Johan groans]
[Marion] No, no.
Johan?
Johan?
[grunts]
[sniffles]
[coughing]
[crowd cheers]
[train horn blaring]
[crowd cheers]
We left home for the concert
at six o'clock.
The concert started at 7:00, okay?
The last time that we saw Johan was
when we had breakfast together.
Leo, do you understand?
Hey.
We have to do this now. Okay?
[upbeat music playing]
- [music fades]
- Sh, sh, sh.
[Leo sobs]
[Marion] He didn't mean to do it.
Hey.
It's gonna be all right, honey.
[ominous music playing]
[train horn blaring]

[gasps, pants]
[tense music playing]
[music subsides]
[Leo] Mom!
Leo.
Leo!
- Leo!

[Marion exclaims]
[Marion] Let me see.
Are you okay? Come here.
What were you thinking?
[melancholy music playing]
Hey, nice work.
