"They fell on each other as if struck by thunder and finally found consolation in death."
"The woman's mouth touched the scar from Camille's teeth on her husband's neck."
"The corpses were lying on the floor all night."
"Distorted in the yellow light thrown by the lampshade."
"for twelve hours, until noon the next day"
"Madame Raquin sat silent and looked at them where they lay at her feet."
"she couldn't see enough of them and annihilated them with heavy looks."
Yes, the murder becomes a turning point in Thérèse and Laurent's relationship
that slowly pushes them into paranoia and madness
and finally joint suicide.
What can we say about the killer's character?
- Yes? - He's a dope.
- Crazy. - Sick.
Maybe, but more likely an ordinary person, just like us.
Normal personalities under unusual circumstances
driven to this act. Like Laurent's impossible love for Lisa.
Many have experienced impossible love, right?
Think about that during this summer's passions.
As you make your bed, so must you lie in it. Happy Solstice.
Puck!
- Last lecture for the semester? - Yes.
- Now you can focus on the thesis. - I thought I'd take some time off first.
What I wanted to ask... I invited some friends to celebrate Midsummer with us.
- You're welcome too. - Thanks, that's kind.
- My wife wants to meet my doctoral student. - It sounds nice.
- Einar Bure will come too. - From the Faculty of History?
- Exactly. - It sounds very nice.
- What fun! - Where's the country house?
On a small island. No phone, no neighbours. Completely at peace.
- Eje! Hello! - Hello!
- I'll help you. - Thank you. Hello.
Yes...
- So when did you come, then? - This morning.
- How was your trip? - Yeah, sure. Really.
Good. Wonderful.
- Well... - What fabulous weather.
Yes. It's wonderful.
Shall we go or will you continue this intelligent conversation?
We can continue as we go. What a day, huh!
- Fantastic. - Yes, this is charming.
Puck. Welcome to the enchanted forest.
- Carl Herman Lindensiöö. - Congratulations to glowing reviews.
Thanks, but I hate it. Expectations for the next book... Yes, writer's block.
- My wife. - Welcome.
- Did you also study at Uppsala? - No, I just met them.
- I studied at home. - The best way.
You certainly want to freshen up. I'll show you to your room.
It's beside mine and Carl Herman's.
You don't mind sharing a room with Lil Arosander, the actress?
No.
- Excuse... - No, there's no danger.
- Go ahead. - Listen, Georg...
- Georg Malm. - Puck Ekstedt.
Georg!
Come in!
- Hi. Lil. - Puck.
- Are you Eje's lady? - Eje's lady?
I get it. Nothing's happened yet.
My guess: you met at a party put up with him three times.
- Did Ann say that? - Is that so?
In all the time I've known Eje, there hasn't been a woman good enough for him.
Hell! Ah! Damn
I'll help you.
Thank you. Watch out.
Rutger promised to fix it, but it never gets done. It's lethal.
What do you see in that clown?
Ann...!
Enjoy!
Everyone - welcome Now we drink. Cheers!
Cheers!
... But down there, miserere, out of the stomach crisscross
the devil sits and waits for a drink!
Ho-hoo! This is the life!
Drinking vodka seasoned with herbs with best friends.
- Great to be included in your stable! - Oh, help!
- Does anyone want coffee? - Please.
It's midsummer, so I want to dance!
- Oh - Already?
- Now we'll witness that. - Music, maestro.
- Do you know her well? - We studied together. She's got a PhD Law.
- I want to dance with Ann. - Eje? Eje, can you help me down?
Can I cut in?
What a surprise.
Hi.
We're really on a cycling holiday, but we managed to bribe a man to sail us over here.
Are we disturbing you?
- Absolutely not! - Lucky. It cost a fortune.
Viveka Stensson. Old classmate of most of the people here.
- Sorry, I didn't... - Marianne.
Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner! Drink it down!
Look at what I found there.
It's pretty. Rutger's fond of it. Isn't that true?
- Yes. - But on your desk? It's Eros.
EROS Thanatos...
Human libido versus death drive...
- Guess who the model was? - My favourite model.
Now's the time for the sack race!
Otherwise it isn't Midsummer for me. Come on, Rutger, let's get going.
- I'll take it. - No, I will.
- I, I said! - I!
You? You're no match for him.
But drop it, I said! Ah!
So, little girls. You'd think it's deadly serious, but it's just a game.
- Shall we go for a walk? - Thanks.
- I want to meet Rutger. - No. I've lost the urge.
Are the uninvited guests also your friends?
Mmm. We met in student theatre. Marianne was a prima donna.
Rutger was there too. He was really talented.
You should have seen his Jean against her Julie. Viveka directed.
- What did you do then? - Cleaned up.
No, I took care of the lighting.
Eje!
Eje, where are you?
He's looking for us.
Eje?
Hello, Rutger.
- Got a minute? - Stay exactly here.
- Can you come? - Yes, I'm coming.
- Let me be! Why is Lil here? Huh? - She's here with me.
- Why is she here?! - Take it easy.
- What do you see in her? - Marianne...
I'll kill her if she doesn't go away. D'you hear?
Marianne! Take it easy.
Marianne! Stop!
Hear, what I'm saying! Stop!
- Let me be! - Relax.
Stop! Let me be!
What are you doing? What are you doing?
You've ruined my life. You've ruined your life, too!
No! Stop it!
- Have you seen Eje? - No.
Puck?
Marianne...
We'll wake the others.
But Eje, we're the only ones on the island.
- Did you get a hold of someone? - Yes, finally I got through.
- to the sheriff? - No.
I got hold of the chief at Homicide. He's on the way from Stockholm.
Christer Wijk. My closest friend. There's no one better.
- You missed a real feast yesterday. - I know. Come on.
- We have to go down to the dock. - Yes. Tell me now.
This is Puck Ekstedt.
Puck.
- Christer. - Come, we go down here.
- But...? - What is it?
Are you sure she was there?
- You didn't see the body? - No.
- How well do you know her? - We've met a few times.
A few times? Are you...?
Rutger knows her better than I do. He's her tutor.
I drove 15 kms hung-over because someone you barely know says she saw a corpse?
- It's Marianne Wallman who's dead. - On Midsummer Night?
- Do you think I'm imagining it? - There's no body.
Someone moved it. The inspector must have seen that before?
- How was she? - Her head here, her arm sticking out.
A red scarf around her neck.
- Isn't this kind of boring! - Lil, it's more fun if everyone's included.
- I have such a headache. - It's called a hangover.
Ouch! Ouch!
Shut up, I said!
Where have you been? And who did you bring with you?
- Christer Wijk? - Rutger.
- Hi. - Georg Malm. Hello.
- Ann Hammar. - Christer Wijk.
- Last time we met you weren't married. Congratulations. - It was at Eje's Doctorate dinner, huh?
I was so pleased to get a national celebrity at our table, but you disappeared quickly.
Yes, there was a murder in the meantime.
- Well now, coffee in the library. - Welcome. Come in.
- Carl Herman... - Though the Americans are idiots.
- Where's Marianne, then? - She just left here.
- Pretty nice, if you ask me. - Really?
- When did she leave? - Last night. Georg drove her over.
- No, Rutger did that. - Bullshit. I didn't do it at all.
She told me you'd drive her.
- She changed her plans. - But I saw you run after her.
Yes, I followed her a bit.
I wanted to say goodbye properly. I didn't follow her all the way.
- Rutger's waiting at the boat, she said. - Why are you sitting there, lying, you loser?
- What did you say? - You're sitting here, lying.
Calm down.
- Does anyone want coffee? - Yes please.
Who drove Marianne back? No one?
- I don't know. I was at the lake. - With the boat?
- Well, what else? - What time was that?
- Between half past two and six. - Can anyone confirm that?
Why? Why all these questions?
Puck found Marianne dead this morning.
If it's a joke, It's a damned bad joke.
- Was it an accident? - She was strangled with her scarf.
- The coroner will determine if it's murder. - Murder?
Don't look at me. I know nothing.
I was out in the woods with Carl Herman. Between three and five, it was quiet.
But Lil, Carl Herman was asleep in his bed when I went to bed at three o'clock.
Oops. Easy to get the time wrong when you're drunk.
- The party's over. I'm going home. - No one can leave here.
I got the keys to the boat.
I saw Carl Herman and Marianne quarrelling at half past eleven.
She screamed, "I'll kill her if she doesn't go away."
Then she ran into the woods.
Stop!
Then I saw Ann and Georg kissing. Perhaps Ann got jealous...
We're all friends here. Anyone could've made their way ashore and killed her.
In a case like this the killer is probably someone here.
- Eje... - No.
- He was engaged to her. - Who are you talking about?
- Huh? - Rutger.
Rutger and Marianne?
Yes, they met six years ago. Everyone thought they'd marry.
What happened, then?
Last time I saw them together was on May Day last year.
Viveka was there too. Everything seemed fine then.
Two months later Viveka announced it's over between Rutger and Marianne.
Something happened but she didn't know what
So she asked me to go to Rutger's house and talk to him.
When I get there, he was really drunk. He refused to tell me anything.
Then! All he said was: "if you're my friend"
"you'll never ask what happened between me and Marianne."
- Then he met Ann later? - Last summer.
Their parents were neighbours. She lived three years in England.
Six weeks later they were engaged.
Why would someone want to kill Marianne?
But Carl Herman...!
- What did Rutger want to talk about? - Marianne.
He was upset because she was here.
Apparently he hadn't said anything to Ann about her.
I told him to be honest, but he said I didn't understand.
- What did he do? - I don't know.
- Are you looking into Marianne's death? - Yes.
Where's the body? Where do you hide a corpse you want to get rid of?
- In the lake. - We had the boat.
How do you put a corpse in the lake without a boat?
We must call the police. Organize a search party. Can you do it?
Yeah, sure.
There's a boat here!
Totally unusable.
- Did you have problems starting the boat last night? - No. Why?
- It won't start. - But Puck and Eje drove it.
Have you have another boat hidden somewhere? Besides the broken skiff?
Simply having just one boat when you live so isolated is a little silly?
- I was going to get a rowboat this summer. - Were you and Marianne engaged?
- How long is it since you last met? - I haven't seen her since it ended.
- Last year. - How did it feel to see her again?
- It was nice. - Why did it end?
"Why does a rose wilt? Why is it winter?"
- Have you read Carl Herman's last book? - Was it exhausting?
"Frozen worship." I think I have it here.
- I'm sorry, what did you say? - Your and Marianne's separation.
No, absolutely not. We parted as friends.
- Eje paints a different picture. - Yes... Here it is.
Maybe, it was a little dramatic, but I calmed down later.
You know how to get rid of the heat of the moment.
How do you get rid of the heat of the moment?
- Are you and Ann happily married? - Yes, very.
If you parted as friends, why didn't you tell Ann about her?
I wanted to spare her the whole story. Ann's very sensitive.
Have you no shame?
I'm not going to stop living, the situation is as it is.
- Where's Eje? - He's repairing the engine.
What repairs? Is the boat broken?
What happens now, then? Are you going to detain us?
No, but stay in the house until the police arrive.
How can we contact them if the boat's not working?
- Where was Marianne going when she arrived here? - To Stockholm. Then she wanted to go to Båstad.
Where are you going?
To the toilette. Isn't that okay, right?
- What about you? - No idea.
Can you come with me? I need help with something.
Yes. Sure.
Stop it. Leave off!
Aren't I good enough anymore?
Is it Marianne?
I love it when you take me. It doesn't matter if you hurt me.
Did you know Marianne was coming here?
- Did Georg know? - Did Ann know?
- He became very unsure, poor thing... - Who?
Georg. Though it may not be so surprising.
- Nope... - Ann, I saw you last night.
What do you mean?
Do you know each other from before?
Excuse me, I don't actually know what you're talking about.
You were very close to Marianne.
Do you know how well she and Georg knew each other?
She mentioned him in the past.
Thank you.
He modelled for her sometime.
He was really fascinated by her.
Then he became persistent and Marianne found it awkward.
He couldn't take no for an answer.
- Did Marianne know Georg was coming here? - No, she wouldn't have come then.
- How's it going? - Brilliant. How's it for you?
Brilliant. I have a murder on my back, but no corpse. Everyone's lying.
I'm cut off from the outside world. I'm on vacation as well.
A typical day on the job, in other words.
I'm sorry I got you into this.
Just make sure to repair the boat. We could really use it.
Hey, she's nice. Puck.
Did the Inspector find something?
You were the last person to see Marianne. You had motive to kill her.
- I was in love with her. - Unfortunately.
No. Why don't you believe me? After we parted she promised to meet me...
You came here with Lil, then you kiss Ann and now you love Marianne.
I loved Marianne from the very beginning.
- It wasn't serious with the others. - Murder is serious.
Were your feelings reciprocated?
Marianne was an eminent sculptress. You were her... model.
Did you lose your temper when she didn't want you? Strike her?
- What are you doing? - I'm looking for you.
For Me? In the bedside table?
Ann's serving drinks in the library.
Come on?
We need to talk, you and me. About Båstad.
- What happened? - Did you get it going?
- What do we do now? - It will help to remain calm.
And lock yourself in when you're sleeping.
Sleep? I can't sleep! Unless someone has something to help me sleep.
- I've got tablets, if you want. - Me too.
Do we agree?
Thank you.
Good thing Christer's here.
- Does he tell you a lot about his job? - Yes, but...
I haven't listened so much. I just met a girl.
Yeah. Is it possibly the one you've put up with three times?
Do you know her?
It depends on who you mean. You have certainly put up with quite a few.
Yes, but she's the only one I think of. She ate two Napoleon Pastries
in the space of an hour.
- I feel I know her. - Has she said anything about me?
Yes. But it was in confidence, so unfortunately I can't tell.
- Do you want me to do something? - Yes, tell her that...
... I feel very... very...
Isn't this terribly uncomfortable, huh?
I can't stand to be alone! When will you go to bed?
- In a little while. - Good. Then I'll wait for you.
- Here you go. - May I?
How would you survive without this here?
Lil?
Hush...
It can be dangerous to walk about out here alone.
- Lil isn't in her bed. - Nor is Rutger neither.
How did it go?
You were right. It's dangerous out in the woods.
Who is it?
Ahh!
Why is your dissertation about murderers in the modern novel?
The murderer's a fascinating character. How's it going with your medieval...?
... Church paintings in Sweden. It's so dry it ignites spontaneously.
- It's exciting. - The story connects us most of all.
Continuity backwards is like growth rings. The layering.
A bit like what I lecture about.
In order to expose a character's actions you must look back in history.
"Everybody has a secret about which he knows nothing."
"you knew where the treasure was found, missing wit and senses." I love Ekelöf.
Me too. Just don't say tell Carl Herman.
I wonder what happened to Christer last night.
First one to the dock.
You jumped the gun!
I won!
- Now you have to swim! - No, don't throw me in!
Eje!
Ah, hell...!
It's Georg.
Gunshot. Probably at close range.
I looked in his room just before we met, he was asleep in his bed.
It must have happened after three, three thirty sometime.
Lil wasn't in her bed, I was worried.
- Did someone sleep in her bed last night? - Yes, I did.
What happened to Carl Herman?
Like I said...I was asleep, so I don't know.
We must get police reinforcements and the coroner. Now we have a corpse.
- I'll try the engine again. - If you can't, what then?
We'll deal with that then.
- What were you doing in Georg's room? - Everyone's meeting in the library.
Rutger may still be in love with Marianne?
And couldn't stand seeing her with Georg.
Carl Herman will do anything for Lil.
These are my friends, not characters in novels.
Your friends are probably people with passions. It needn't be a man.
Please, Puck! Would Lil, Viveka or Ann murder Marianne? Here you don't...
They aren't angels, just women?
Perhaps Ann knew Georg from before and made sure he came here.
Or she got mad when she found out Rutger and Marianne had...
You may be right. Some people play with other's feelings. Not everyone can handle that.
Give up?
No.
I got up too early.
Spit it out! Have you found Marianne?
- Georg Malm's dead. Shot. - Georg?
Hell. .. what the hell is this here? "Ten Little Indians"?
Oh my God!
I know some of you were outside last night. Tell me what you did.
Lil?
Rutger?
I was out walking. I needed to be alone.
Where did you go?
Just around. Everywhere. What, I...
If the boat wasn't broken, I'd have gone out in it.
And you? What did you do?
- I slept. - No. You weren't in your bed.
You must have looked in just when I went to... to...
... the toilette.
- You locked the door, but were you there? - Yes. I took a sleeping tablet.
- Did you sleep well with the tablet? - No, I actually didn't!
Lil and I had a dalliance in the woods.
- So you were there too? - Yes. Desire just pushed on.
- Did you see anyone in the woods? - No.
Lil. Poor Georg!
Do any of you have a gun?
Speak up!
I'm a pacifist. I hate all weapons.
I have a Luger.
- You have a Luger? - Yes.
Where is it?
I don't understand... I usually keep it in here.
When did you see it last?
Carl Herman was very chivalrous just now but he assigned me the wrong lover.
Ann will forgive me, but I was with Rutger all night.
Get some cognac!
Did you know Rutger and Lil were having a relationship?
No, but it explains why Lil and Marianne got on like dogs and cats.
Ann, please, wake up.
What did Marianne say to Carl Herman?
"I'll kill her if she doesn't go away."
Do you think Lil was the reason it ended between Rutger and Marianne?
Marianne might have wanted revenge on Lil and had to defend herself.
You're thinking like a cop.
Christer.
There's a gun in the trash bin in Carl Herman's room.
Hidden among the sheaves of poems about death.
It was like hell.
Incidentally, I started the boat's engine.
So, Eje!
Hurry, get the police. I'll take care of Carl Herman.
Not with Puck, Christer. She isn't like your other women.
I know.
Let her be.
I think she's old enough to determine that herself.
- Now what's wrong. - Where's Carl Herman?
How would I know?
- Is Carl Herman there? - No.
Viveka behaved strangely when Rutger came in.
I must grab Carl Herman.
Wait!
- No! - Who took the boat?
There's no one steering it.
- What have you done, Carl Herman? - I fell in!
- Did you leave the key on the boat? - Yes. Why didn't you keep it?
We've a lot to talk about, you and me.
How long have you and Lil been together?
Two years.
It must've been a pain to see her with others, right before your eyes.
- That would've made anyone mad... - I'd never kill anyone.
Not even a cop.
How did you know Marianne?
- We've been friends for a long time. - You weren't bitter enemies?
No.
Puck saw you. You quarrelled last night.
- Marianne threatened to kill someone - Okay, okay.
Marianne and I were in the woods. We were drunk.
She started talking shit.
Huh? With you?
Marianne threatened your lover and mocked you.
You lost your temper.
Maybe it was an accident, but you killed her.
- Georg saw you, so you kill him too. - No, I was with Lil!
Why then does Lil say she was with Rutger?
You write poems about death. We found the gun hidden in your room!
- And now you tried to escape from here. - No! No, no!
Get off me! No!
No! No, no!
No!
Get off me! No!
You don't think Carl Herman murdered someone?
You can't really repair the skiff?
I can try.
Coming?
You and I can have a conversation in private.
Why don't you go out with Carl Herman instead of tormenting him?
I tried, but he refuses to let me.
And Georg? Where does he come into the game?
Did you encourage him to seduce Ann to have Rutger for yourself?
Georg didn't need encouragement to fall in love with anyone.
- That describes all of you. - Now you're being stupid, baby.
The hallmark of this company is everyone once loved everyone else.
I saw you and Puck last night.
What do you think Eje will think about that?
I have to admit one thing.
What?
I asked Rutger to invite you.
I... didn't know it would be like this here.
No, who could have suspected it?
- What a wreck. - Yes, but worth having a try.
Sure Marianne was going to Båstad?
Yes. Why?
I found a letter in Georg's room from a Betty who he was supposed to meet there.
Poor Betty.
Yesterday, Georg said Marianne had promised to meet him.
- In Båstad? - He didn't go.
Now we'll never know.
Some minor head injuries, but you were right she was strangled.
Georg said he loved Marianne.
A man who fell for so many women hardly knows what the word love means.
But Marianne wasn't interested in Georg but in Rutger, right?
Marianne made the Eros sculpture with Georg as model, but ..
Thanatos - god of death who ruled lives with his torch.
And now both are dead.
I think whoever did it, did it out of jealousy.
We've found Marianne's body.
- Do you have any flares? - No.
- Can you swim to the mainland? - It takes half an hour by motorboat!
- We must signal somehow. - With what?
It's ridiculous. And, it's dangerous to light a fire now, it's so dry!
I hope the fire spreads like wildfire. Then someone will sound the alarm.
- I'm hungry. - Me too.
- I go make some sandwiches. - I'll go help you.
Rutger...!
How can you play cards when two friends have been murdered?
What else can we do? Huh?! It's something we need to fucking do.
- Rubbish party whist. - Ann! The cognac's finished!
I'll never put my foot on those stairs anymore.
- Giddy... - I'll do it myself if it's so damn difficult.
I'll get the cognac.
Why, the Indians are home! Have you made contact with the other side?
- There are sandwiches. - Where are Rutger and Viveka?
It's Viveka! She's... she's dead! She fell!
I told you the stairs are dangerous. You refused to do anything about it.
She's alive.
- Ouch, ouch! Ouch! What happened? - You fell.
- The foot is broken. - Can you get up?
Ouch
Christer...
Someone soaped the stairs.
Let me through.
- I swim ashore. - It'll take several hours.
And then? Do you have any better suggestion?
Eje!
Idiot.
Stop lying, or else I'll tell the newspapers about your love for Rutger
and your involvement in Georg Malm's death. Not so good for the career, maybe.
Now you're being mean.
What do you know about the separation between Rutger and Marianne?
- Well she was unfaithful. - Or he was having an affair with someone.
With you, for example.
It's true he agreed to spare with me sometimes.
You gave Rutger an alibi, do you think he's guilty.
Carl Herman told the truth. You two who were out there last night.
Speaking of which, when will we continue what we began in the woods?
We can have a drink in Stockholm sometime.
Lil isn't worthy of you.
I know.
There isn't a single one of you who doesn't lie to me.
Shall we start with you?
Did you know Rutger had just broke up from Marianne when he proposed to you?
No.
You must have known about their relationship.
They were engaged for several years.
No. I had lived abroad. No one told me about that.
Rutger just said he had been disappointed in love
but he... We were hoping I'd help him get over it.
You had several reasons to hate Marianne.
Will you tell me about your little connection with Georg?
I saw you kissing on Midsummer night.
I wasn't doing that! He just flew at me when I was looking for Rutger.
Should I believe that? You have the strongest motive and no alibi.
But hell, Chris!
Tell me about Marianne.
- What should I tell? - The truth.
I can't help it.
I tried to make it go away, but...
There's never been somebody else for me.
I loved her.
I loved Marianne.
Where are you going?
I thought I'd do the dishes.
Did you know Viveka and Marianne would come here?
- What have I done? - Rutger?
I should never have married Ann.
- How are you, Ann? - Fine.
- Can I do anything? - No thanks.
But thanks anyway.
Was it really the first time you saw Marianne since your wedding?
Yes.
When she came... I didn't know what I should do.
Then we met later that night and...
Yes...
Marianne and I...
We were never good at just talking.
Why did you break off your engagement?
- I can't tell. - You have to.
She let me down in a way that would drive any man crazy.
Ann?
Ann! Ann!
Does this mean Ann's the killer?
I'm going crazy inside here.
We'll stay here until help arrives.
If it ever comes.
Eje might have drowned.
While waiting, we can sort out a few things.
Georg only knew most of you superficially, right?
- I regret what we did to him. - His murder wasn't personal.
But he knew too much about Marianne's murder.
Who knew she was going to Båstad?
- Someone said that. - Who? After she was murdered?
- Was it after she was murdered? - What's your point anyway?
After Georg's death, I found a letter among his belongings.
It emerged he was going to Båstad later this summer.
I think the last thing Georg and Marianne arranged was to meet in Båstad.
In that case, no one other than Georg would be familiar with her plans.
I don't understand.
Marianne must have met someone else after she and Georg parted.
- Who knew where she was going? - Stockholm.
Then she would certainly travel to Båstad.
Georg offered to drive Marianne over to the mainland. She accepted. Packed up.
Then she told Georg Rutger was going to drive her.
It wasn't true.
How do you think it feels when your lover, loves your best friend?
It hurts. So sorry you were ready to kill in the end.
Viveka Stensson, you're guilty of killing Marianne and Georg.
I've the greatest respect get your acumen
but...it's probably the stupidest thing I ever heard.
Could I possibly be so hopelessly in love with Rutger?
Would I have soaped the stairs myself?
Take me to jail if you want. I'll come, I just want to get my foot in a cast.
I think you're right Christer, but you're also wrong.
I don't think it's about Rutger. I think you loved Marianne.
I didn't want to come here, but she insisted.
Then she suddenly wanted to leave...
Where have you been?
Were you with Rutger
What have you done?
She lured me out there.
- Answer! Did you? - Shut up.
She said it was over with Rutger, we'd be partners after he married.
It was a lie! It was a lie, altogether!
I realized I was exhausted, that I...
I lost her.
She'd mess around with every man who crossed her path
it was getting to be too much.
Hi. I'm going to Båstad.
to visit Georg.
And Georg?
I let it slip after all. I hoped he wouldn't catch on, but...
We need to talk. About Båstad.
I thought the same thing. Not here and now.
Sorry.
I didn't know how much Georg knew.
I had better be safe, rather than sorry.
I had to do it.
I soaped the stairs.
I didn't know if I'd use them myself or let Rutger do it.
But I didn't plan to carry out a murder.
Although Rutger is a man, I only feel contempt for.
I wasn't guilty of Ann's death.
I got the police. Chris, they're here.
- You did it. - Yes. I'm a hero.
No, honestly I almost drowned before they picked me up.
Thank you.
- But it's not true. - My love is strong and normal.
The crimes I committed don't mean my love is sick.
I love in the same way as you.
With the same heat, the same passion and the same sensitivity.
Eje! Eje, wait.
- Going to Uppsala now? - No, home to Skoga a few days.
- Lovely. - Wonderful.
Fantastic.
- Carl Herman, stop! - Writer's block has disappeared.
Help me with my bags!
Eje? Do you want to help me with my bags, you're cute?
Now I'm in a playful mood.
