She was called Odd Gertrud.
But her real name was...
...Gertrud Uddgren.
You could see that without cards. It's in the papers.
Don't listen to him. Fanny is clairvoyant.
-She's good at telling ghost stories. -Keep going, Fanny.
She comes at dusk.
She walks through the wild roses, floating through the mist.
Up by the old earth cellar, light and gay...
But whimpering...
It sends shivers down your spine.
-She was good looking, too. -Bon soir. -Bon soir, papa.
-So you know who it is? -Odd Gertrude? The prettiest in the village.
Everyone was crazy about her - until she disappeared.
-Was murdered. -Travelled abroad, the police said.
But if she haunts she must be dead? A natural death brins peace to the body.
Solid evidence. - No, I also think she was murdered.
I've seen these cards before.
Roses... kisses...
...and death.
Björn? Björn!
Hello!
She told the same story tonight, so you're probably on the right track.
Bless you! Are you getting ill?
No, I don't think so.
- What a place! - Yeah.
Are you sure we're in the right place?
-It's great that Christer is engaged. -Mm.
Nice for him to get away from bachelordom.
- I haven't missed it, at least. - You better not.
- I've barely heard of it. - That's why they've invited us.
- Wow, look at these roses.
Who's shooting?
Pigeon!
Ten out of ten.
- You really know this. - Your turn. If you dare.
[Eje clears his throat]
- Hi! Come! - We weren't trying to sneak up on you.
That wouldn't be appropriate.
- My fiancée, Gabriella. - Welcome.
Einar. Now I see why Christer has been keping you a secret.
You must be Puck. - Come, let's go meet the others.
- I hope we're not interrupting. - Absolutely not.
Girls are always concerned about that.
- Guests? Already? - Are we too early?
Nej, it's only nice. Engineer Otto Malmer.
- Einar Bure. This is my wife. - Puck Bure.
Gabriella's uncle. My wife, Helene.
- We have guests. - That's right. The Commissioner's friends.
Oops! Sorry, I'm totally hopeless!
Here's aunt Fanny. You shouldn't be carrying that. Where's Sofia?
- I haven't seen her all morning. - Someone has to fetch her. She's too lazy.
You need to keep the servants under control.
- Welcome. - Fanny is Gabriella's paternal grandfather's sister.
- She runs the place. - I'm not dead yet, am I?
Whose are those wise eyes?
- Puck Bure. - Puck. The little forest nymph.
- Are you the one tending the roses? - Do you like them? They've been much work.
But Otto is in the process of killing them all.
The only one with a green thumb here is Bella. Who's abandoning us...
Your fauly, grandpa. You're the one who sent me to Stockholm.
- What is the gypsy doing here? - Has something happened?
You could say that. This must've been some time ago...
Björn Uddgren has come across the remains of a woman.
And she's buried in an earth cellar on your property.
Do you recognise this?
Yes. It's my mother's.
I would arrest Fanny. She knew exactly where she was.
Quiet, Jan-Axel.
So it is her? Odd Gertrude?
- That's up to the forensic anthropologists to determine. - Sure, I'll contact them.
- Do you never use the earth cellar? - No. It used to be a spare cellar.
Darling, there you are. This is horrible.
Wasn't her name gertrude The one the newspapers wrote of when we were little.
- The beauty who vanished? - Yes.
But "Odd" is new to me.
"Odd" is what they call the peasantry here, from the workers' barracks on the northern cape.
Not a place you want to be at night - unless you're buying moonshine.
Excuse me.
- Excuse me, I think I've caught... - There's a lot of trouble with the people here.
That case was one of the reasons why Christer became a cop.
- What were your theories? - Murder of jealousy.
- Maybe just because Christrer had a crush on her. - He did?
I wish they had found her somewhere else.
- It doesn't have to one of these people. - No.
Let's let you rest and recover. I'm going out for a bit.
Oof...
- He'll figure out the truth. I saved the family from the scandal.
- Leave me alone. - Now that Christer Wijk is here.
- For Gabriella's sake.
Puck.
- Is it evening? Have you learned anything? - Fredrik has had a heart attack.
They've called a doctor. Everyone is in the parlour.
Oh, Doctor Severin.
How is grandpa?
The danger has passed. For now.
He needs to start taking his medication.
- He shouldn't be alone tonight. - I'll stay.
- We'll take turns, of course. - Unimaginable. I won't get any sleep anyway.
He asked me to send for Björn Uddgren.
That which will happen, happens in the end. Right, Fanny?
What did she mean by that? Do you think she's drinking?
Maybe not only that. I mostly feel sorry for Christer.
If they're right for each other, it won't be hinging on an engagement party.
- I've never seen him so in love. - Me neither.
- So what do you mean? - Bah. Just female intuiton.
- Female envy, maybe? - Do I have anything to envy?
- Dad wants to see you two. - Us? Why?
Thank you for coming. Unfortunately I can't get up.
My balance isn't...
I needed to rewrite my last will and testament.
What? You want us to witness?
I need to do what's right. Even if I die in shame...
- Calm down, Björn. - I am calm.
Hi. We never had a chance to speak.
How charming.
Are you going to buy my silence?
I don't want anything from you. I should kill you!
He's leaving.
- Come here! - I want to see what he's up to.
- I don't want you staring at young gypsies. - He was pretty handsome, eh?
Fredrik.
Fanny. Fanny!
Oh my God!
Christer. Christer!
Christer. Christar! Something's happened.
Christer! Something's hapened!
How is he? Is he dead?
- When did you get here? - Shortly after one.
Then he had the energy to argue with me for not going to bed.
- Soon thereafter he fell asleep. - Were you here the whole time?
Yes. I was drinking coffee. I usually never fall asleep.
- It could've happened to anyone. - Someone dosed your coffee.
Waited until you fell asleep, snuck in, and gave Fredrik a glass of medicine.
A heart attack can cause a bit of cyanosis but not this much.
Call doctor Severin. We need a doctor for the death certificate.
- Why so fast? - He will determine cause of death.
- He or she must have known you well. - What are you saying?
Should one of us have murdered grandpa?
- Löving! - Yes?
If Puck hadn't woken up we probably wouldn't have suspected a thing.
Fanny would've slept until morning and cause of death determined a heart attack.
I've only served a few months and I don't know if I can handle two murders.
- You have to help me. - Puck? Eje?
Collect all fast acting medication, but keep track of which is whose.
All are bitter. You couldn't taste anything?
No, it was unusuallt good.
Here. Take this.
I struggle with loss.
- Did you grow up with Jan-Axel? - Dad?
He dumped me here when I was two and left for Nice when mom died.
Fanny is the one who's looked after me. And grandpa.
Nothing will be the same without him. Nobody to take care of the farm.
Dad wanted to sell and gamble the money away, and Otto...
He'll have the roses removed and plant an easily managed garden.
Grandpa had soul.
And I'll be frying breakfast eggs for my husband in a kitchen in Stockholm.
Can you handle another round?
- Whose is this pharmacy? - Helene's.
This one's almost empty.
Fredrik was no saint. You... know that as well as I do.
- I'm sorry, are we interrupting? - No. No, no. Come in.
How was Fredrik no saint?
Fredrik was a widower since Otto's birth. A virile man.
Maybe he fell for the village beauty, and struggled to keep her silent.
Helene enjoys sexual conspiracy theories.
- The commissioner doesn't seem unfamilia withr... - I can't imagine dad...
Helene is right. These questions need asking during a murder investigation.
Gertrud must've been proud if she was making demands.
No, dad was many things, but he was no murderer.
If he was, it's understandable if yesterday was too much.
- Could he have poisoned himself? - Anything's possible.
But it would've been hard for him to get here to rummage through your bathroom cabinet.
Our bathroom cabinet?
Even harder to manage to put the pill jar back when he was already dead.
Who would have...?
This is where I should ask what you did the night of the murder.
We? Well, we... slept.
I'm easy to rouse. If Helene had gotten up... That applies to you too.
We would've noticed if one of us was up.
I think they're lying. That white robe in there...
- I'm almost certain I saw it out there tonight. - What? When?
Right before I went into Fredrik's room. I had a fever. I don't remember.
Think.
The glass doors rattled. Someone must've left that way.
Otto... No, that was earlier when Eje was out. I saw Otto and Fredrik arguing.
- About what? - I don't know.
You heard none of it?
Bella? Where are you going?
- Bella! - I'm late to the seamstress'.
Hope your friend can put his foot down. Otherwise he'll be in trouble.
I can imagine. Good to see someone taking care of the roses.
Yeah, but I'm really just trying to get away from the bad vibes.
Not that it's much different from before.
You left early, right?
Yeah. i graduated, bought a car, and drove down south.
The best thing I ever did.
Have you been to the French Riviera? You'd make great success there.
Petite. Elégante. With l'esprit...
- Why did you return if it was so nice? - Well... one grows up.
i thought a family might be nice.
And it probably could be, if you had a nice family.
- You won't stay long. - Preferably not.
- Broke? He? With such expensive habits? - That can make you broke.
He didn't exaclty return out of love for his family.
- I think it's the inheritance. - We need to find the will.
- My soon-to-family, and I'm snooping. - How did you meet?
Djurgården ferry, she says, but I had my sights set on her.
- You were stalking her? - The police training has to be good for something.
- Christer... - No, it was happenstance. Or something like that...
A country girl in the big city.
Here it is. No, that's the old one.
He could barely stand and probably didn't want to get out of bed.
- Stand up. - What?
Yep.
Oh my god! Was he really of sound mind?
- Otto and Jan-Axel only get the legal minimum. - Not even half of what they would've.
Doctor Severin gets a large cut. Strange.
- It gets weirder. - "The rest shall be split in two lots".
"One befalls Björn Uddgren".
Maybe it is what we thought. Fredrik killed Gertrude and is paying back.
- That gives the kid a good motive. - The best imaginable.
Eje, we saw Björn approach the gate and then stop.
Did he leave or not?
- I don't know. Eje... - Yeah, I got in the way there. Sadly...
- I understand. - Otto didn't seem to sceptical either.
Maybe he knew it to be true?
"I need to do what's right. Even if I die in shame".
So Fredrik gets scared of going to hell-
-rewrites his will, calls Björn, and confesses to the murder of his mother.
Björn returns and kills him.
Good theory, but it doesn't explain the other big surprise.
Oh! Commissioner. Where is Puck?
- Is there more? - God, yes.
- It's gin & tonic. - I'll have that, but with a bit of ice.
Thank you.
Why did you lie about the night of the murder?
- What's this? - I know you were in the garden.
No. Well, occasionally I go outside to cool off, but...
Yesterday? No.
We were so tired after everything. I slept like the dead.
What is this? First the sleeping pills, now you think I'm lying about my alibi.
- Now you just need a motive. - That won't be difficult.
People kill for less than half a million.
Fredrik rewrote his testament in your favour. You inherit half a million.
More than Otto.
- Why? - If anyone knows, it's you.
Me? No, i have no clue.
If he didn't have a moment of clarity before he died.
- What do you mean? - Nothing.
It'll be maculated considering the circumstances.
That depends on what the "cirucmstances" are.
- What about the ice? - I think Helene needs it more.
What was that about?
Fredrik would never have let an ill guest leave.
But Eje has to leave and you have enough to think about.
- I'm just heading home. - Nonesense. Are you gonna be home alone?
- And him away? - I think i'll be fine.
But you can stay for Christer's sake.
- But Christer has Gabriella. - I understand.
But as it is now, I think your presence is very important.
It's chaos down by the mill. I should be there to straighten things out.
- But something new keeps happening here. - It's your responsibility now.
In practice. Dad always tried to get Jan-Axel to take over.
- Why? You're the enginner. - The lost son.
- Don't run around risking your life now. - I'll be correcting essays.
Don't exaggerate. I know you.
- Drive safe. - I'll hurry back.
Of course I can't be sure, but we sleep close to each other.
-I usually wake up when she does. - What did Fredrik say to you before the attack?
What? Did I see him then?
Right. We discussed the purchase of a new excavator.
What a last conversation...
Helene couldn't hurt a fly.
You have to seek your killer outside the household.
Thinking of anyone in particular?
I'd find out what dad and the gypsy discussed. There's a hot-headed fellow.
- I tought you had left. - Fanny asked me to stay. Eje left alone.
- What did Otto say= - I think I'll be visiting the northen cape.
And you should rest. Get well.
Hi!
Tag!</>
- What are you doing? - What were you doing the night Fredrik was killed?
- What does your fiancée think of your snooping? - i'm snooping around you now.
- I was picking up fishing nets. - Can anyone confirm that?
- Yeah. There were other boats out. - Can I come in?
Charlie Parker.
- Nice place. - What did you expect?
- A hole in the ground? Huh? - Your mother?
Put that back!
- What did you and Fredrik talk about? - Isn't that our business?
- You're a suspect - so no. - Why would i have killed him?
- Did he give you a good reason when you saw him? - No, quite the opposite.
He said sorry for the loss. He even promised to remember me in his will.
You became impatient and wanted the money.
I'm not rich like the Malmers, but I don't kill for spare change.
- Half a million. Is that spare change? - Half a million?
Well i'll be damned...
- Then it's true... - What is?
Tell the lawyer that they can keep it.
If it was that easy...
- What did he want? - The question is what you want.
Så they think it's Björn? Because he's a gypsy?
- Björn isn't very familiar with the house? - To find his way to Helene's medicine cabinet?
No, certianly not. He's a good boy.
He has looked after himself his whole life. He become foreman at the mill at 20.
Save the heads. For the stock.
- That's you right? Next to the soldier? - Yes.
I can't say I remember it.
I've never found it easy to meet women.
So i was one of those who used...
... Gertrud's generosity. - Was she a prostitute?
Enjoyed life. And she had a boy to take care of.
Call that whatever you like.
I did what I could to help her. She had an appointment here once.
- An appointment? For what? - She never showed up. We'll never know.
Must be special, when women seek your confidence.
So intimate, yet not.
Helene Malmer has many prescriptions.
- She's a patient. I have confidentiality. - Among them a sleeping agent with no taste.
Which doesn't lose its effect in coffe. A deadly poison at the right dosage.
- That's enough insinuations. - Is it?
Shortly before Fredrik died he changed his will in yours and Helene's favour.
I have patients waiting.
Fredrik took care of his friends.
He knew I had student debt.
And regarding the medicine I should've stopped prescribing them.
She's become addicted.
-She's unhappy. -With blue eyes.
-We are good friends? -Is that all?
I've accepted my lot in life.
Now you've heard my most shameful secrets. Can I get to work?
Hi, it's Daniel.
I remembered something. About Gertrud.
[A woman giggles]
[Heavy breathing]
We can't keep doing this.
-Are you kidding? Are you certain? -Completely. i wish i were less sure.
"Rolling in the hay" is putting it mildly.
-Did you look into his financials? -Yeah. Deeply indebted.
-What's that? -Fredrik's journal.
I wanted Helene's but I spotted this.
Can you interpret it?
-Illegible. What do you want to know? -I'll have to ask Daniel what it says.
-I have to return this to Björn. -Björn is a sensitive topic with Fanny.
She's very attached to him.
But he was pulling up nets when Fredrik died. Several fishermen saw him.
Is that Daniel and Otto?
Otto too? Where?
-The soldier. -Is that him?
Does he know what his wife is up to?
Tell Fanny i'm skipping dinner.
The seamstreses were fooling around.
-Why do weddings make people so silly? -They're romantic.
-Sofia? -She left for the day.
-You were late so I had to let her go. -She had last weekend off too.
-Let her have fun. -At least you know where she is.
-Don't hold it against her. -Grandpa said to not bother with romance.
Go for style, ambition, and class. The rest comes later.
-Fredrik was old-school. -I think i am too.
Well, that's how it goes when you're not around to teach your daughter about life.
-You mean "lust above all"? -Touché!
What do you think, Puck? To follow passion or sense?
Both, maybe? But only marry if you want to share a bed.
-Can you hear music from the northern cape? -Yeah. Now they party, all weekend.
-It has its perks to be a peasant. -I'm sorry if I said something inappropriate.
No, no.
Dad always taught Jan-Axel to follow the law of least resistance. It left its marks.
Helene and I have separate bedrooms.
It's nothing I'm proud of but I know I shouldn't have lied.
So you don't know where she was that night?
[Whining dog]
Daniel?
-A shotgun. Close range. -Do you think the murders are connected?
A reasonable presumption.
Check everyone's alibis. I'm pretty sure at least a few of them won't hold.
Several of the suspects were out, alone.
Helene was at the dentist's. Jan-Axel was at the inn.
Otto was receiving a new digger at the mill.
-Anyone else? -Gabriella.
-Oh yeah? But that... -She claims she was at the seamstress'.
So... what do you think?
I want to hear from the forensic anthropologist as soon as possible.
Löving wanted to interview everyone separately.
I'm not staying here another day.
No, I think i have to... go to work.
Otto! Just a question.
-Were you and Daniel close friends? -We've known each other since we were kids.
Did you know about Gertrud?
-I knew that he saw her sometimes. -But you didn't?
-No. -He said something that worries me.
-He said we had it all wrong. -What? What did he say?
That Gertrud introduced you to the mysteries of love.
Yes, it's possible that he thinks so.
He introduced us when I left the military.
My friends were hoping for something.
-I was very inexperienced. -So what happened?
Nothing. All of that was foreign to me.
She was more or less a prostitute, and i was very much a romantic.
-And Jan-Axel? -I presume.
-"Presume", even? -He's never turned down a pretty girl.
I understand. But playboys grow old, too.
But did he propose to Grace Kelly?
Well... will you stay if I tell you?
Sure. That's why he was so mad at me, because Grace had come onto me.
Did you come onto Odd-Gertrud? If we're sticking with the truth...
Well, some time in the part spirits. But not then, earlier, as a teenager.
-Not then? -No. I already had my hunting grounds.
In better circles.
What were you doing last night when you were late for dinner?
I'll discuss that with a detective, not my future son-in-law.
You aren't afraid of stirring things up with the family, are you?
-What do you mean? -You know what I mean.
So what? I'm not ashamed of trying to keep warm.
-In this cold family. -maybe soon you can find warmth in the sun.
Combined you get a fair bit to spend.
Maybe it'll cover your gambling debt?
-Are my finances a point of interest? -You have strong motives and weak alibis.
I didn't know about the will until you told me.
Why would we want to kill Daniel?
He found out what the medicine was used for.
He was dumb enough to tell someone. Someone he cared for.
Not me. -Has he spoken to you?
Of course not. The Commissioner is just showing off.
Do i really look like a killer?
-You've seen them up close. -I don't go off of intuition, but fact.
Does that apply to beautiful women you're close to as well?
Löving visited my seamstress. He says you sent him.
Bella!
Bella, it's just police work. Everything is checked.
-...pry into one's private business. -It concerns a murder
-Don't take it personally. -Grandpa has been killed, I'm being tailed...
Dad is accused of murder. I'm not supposed to take that personally+
You were with the seamstress for 20 minutes but gone for three hours.
-What? You think I killed grandpa? -I didn't. Should I reconsider?
Fall in love with her instead. At least you have things in common.
Gabriella!
I dig and I dig but find only dirt. No murderer.
No... Helene must've been with Jan-Axel the night Fredrik was killed, too.
Has Otto changed his story?
-But lovers can't give each other an alibi. -What if they're seen?
Excuse me, I'm fetching my embroidery. I happened to overhear you.
-That would change things. -They were whispering outside Fredrik's window.
On the night of the murder. Then they went down into the garden.
-How can you see things like that sedated? -Maybe they took a break...
...and poisoned Fredrik while I slept?
Either way they were in the same spot when I woke up.
-By the lilacs. -How long were you planning on keeping that to yourself?
One shouldn't scratch at a wound for nothing.
A lie detector on you would solve this case right away.
[Fanny laughs]
Yeah, you have your gadgets. And I have my principles.
But one nephew can't go to prison to spare another from heartbreak.
-Those gadgets don't stand a chance. -One more thing.
-How far is it to the northern cape? -It takes 30 minutes by car. Why?
-What about by boat? -Across the bay. It takes five minutes.
You think he has time to commit the murder? He was seen leaving and returning.
-He needed time to dose the coffee too. -Unless he had a helping hand.
Sofia had heard Fanny's ghost stories. I bet she brought him to the cellar.
-She had access to the rugs. -And the coffee.
And left the doors unlocked. Fanny said that she was seeing someone but didn't say whom.
Gabriella is right. Having interests in common is nice.
-You're green. Is it paint? -That's it!
I got him.
-Can we talk, in private? -What now?
Stop arguing. Come.
Sofia, stay here.
-Have you been together long? -We're not together.
Says you or says she?
-Can I borrow your phone? -Sure.
-You must find it easy to get girls. -If you only knew.
Does she know that accessory to murder gives life in prison?
-This again? You checked my alibi. -Your alibi is busted.
Löving? Send out an arrest warrant for Björn Uddgren.
Inte so clever, going to The Malmer's in a freshly painted boat.
Calm down!
-Doesn't this suit you? -What?
-Having me caged up far away. -Why is that?
Björn! Wait!
Where is he?
[Engine sounds] Let me go! Could you just let me go?
Damn it!
Thank you.
Yes, I was the one who told him about the earth cellar.
I don't believe on ghost stories, but...
I wanted to tell him what they were saying about his mother.
You needed a reason to see him.
Mm.
Did he ask any favours of you? Anything regarding the house?
Like what?
No! Absolutely not!
But... I'm only the consolation prize.
-He told me that from the start, so... -How nice.
Yeah. With guys like that you take your chance when they're free.
Although I guess I hoped he'd get over her.
-But it only got worse, so... -Get over whom?
Commissioner! Has something happened?
-Otto is asleep. -I'm here to see you. May I come in?
So, what can I do for you?
-A sexual conspiracy theory. -Haven't you had enough of those?
-This one peaked my interest. -Oh no.
Exactly.
They've been together since they were teens.
It ended right before she left for Stockholm.
Was it Fredrik who put a stop to it?
Björn would've had double reasons to hate him.
An orphaned gypsy kid couldn't have his precious girl. But a police commissioner...
But it was the two of them Fanny saw on the night of the murder. Not me and...
-How would you know? -I saw them too.
I was out. My sleeping pills were missing. I couldn't sleep.
What did you see?
Gabriella, climbing down the vines like a kid.
Romeo in the flower bed below.
With Fredrik out of the way they could be together again.
Bella?
-I wanted to say goodnight. -Goodnight, Gabriella.
-Has Christer returned yet? -No.
Strange.
-Is it him you're looking for. -Nah.
-Are you worried about him? -No. I think he can handle Björn.
I don't like you sleeping alone.
I'll be fine. Eje arrives in the morning, and I don't exactly think I'm next.
Who knows what your sensitive nose has picked up on. Even you might not be aware.
[Low bang]
[A door opening]
-Ow! What are you doing? -How can you sneak around with a murderer on the loose!?
-What a welcome. -I want a divorce.
-What are you... Are you sure? -Yes...
-Bye. -Okay. I'll call my solicitor in the morning.
I'm so confused.
-Eje is back. -Is he taking you home?
Hi didn't like me sleeping in an unlocked room.
Glad you chose someone caring. Safety is paramount. Right...?
-What is that? -A piece of metal.
That wasn't Jan-Axel and Helene in the garden, but Björn and Gabriella.
Are you sure that means what you think it does?
-No one acts like themselves in situations like this. -Oh yes they do.
Me too.
So much so that I would run if I were you.
-Björn? -Yep.
We can't leave Christer alone with all of this.
He'll be fine.
It's time to leave this family be for a bit.
The worst thing I know are people who sneak around behind one's back.
-And I don't like that you were right. -What do you mean "right"?
About Gabriella. I thought you were just jealous.
-You didn't say jealous. Envious. -Maybe I was avoiding the subject.
-There's no "subject", is there? -No, I guess there isn't.
-Right. What would that be? -You just said "nothing".
Sometimes you make me dizzy, Puck. In the wrong way.
[Quiet knocking]
-What do you think is up there? -An attic.
-Are you looking for something? -No. Or, yes...
I was curious. The house is so tall, but I can't find any stairs.
-There're stairs to the attic. -I see.
Well. That was all.
-How pretty. Sorry. Is it valuable? -No, just dirty.
-Just stuff I'm bringing to the attic. -What a coincidence.
Well. Don't let me get in the way.
Did you just leave?
Bon soir. You lot look joyous. Did you find another body?
No, nothing like that. Is Christer in?
Yes, there you are. Here's a report from the forensic anthropologist.
-Are you dog sitting? -Someone has to...
It was Gertrud, I hope. Would be a bit disappointing otherwise.
-Yes, it was her. -Have you seen this?
It's what I thought. Well done.
Now I want you to focus on...
-Tell me what this is about, now. -No. Do you have a lighter?
-Are we gonna sneak around? We're guests. -After three murders I don't think it matters.
Gertrud? Are you there?
C...
H...
I...
L...
D...
"Your child".
[Noise from the attic]
Stop! Stop him!
He was hiding in the attic, right above our heads.
-If you take him, I'll never forgive you. -You need to forgive me?
I head yelling. Is everything in order?
The identity and cause of death is confirmed. Your mother was shot.
But it was a grave of two. She was likely murdered because she was pregnant.
I remember her talking about us becoming a big family.
And having a nice house.
I thought they were fantasies to cheer me up.
She must've thought she was having this kid with Fredrik.
Maybe get married... And then he shoots her!
-Why Fredrik? -He gave me money.
-Why else would he? -He admitted? Offered money to make peace?
Then he'd've died right there. Do you think Björn was sneaking around with sleeping pills?
That's where you come in. Someone must have found the pills and dosed the coffee.
-Would you really...? -What? I'm a cop.
Gabriella has nothing to do with this.
-I know this house better than you think. -No, Björn.
It was me.
-Björn didn't know anything. -Now I know where your loyalty lies.
That they're in love doesn't make him innocent, right?
He has motive. The boat was here, he fled in panic, and his alibi is weak.
-Exactly. What's stopping you? -I'll get to that.
No thank you.
This is the summary of your alibis.
When Daniel died Jan-Axel was not at the inn, Helene was not at the dentist's-
-Otto wasn't at the mill and Gabriella wasn't at the seamstress'.
The only leads are the revised testaments and the phrase "dying in shame".
We thought that Gertrud's body made him admit his crime to the wrong person.
Eje wondered why I haven't caged my fiancée's lover.
Tempting, but I found this.
"Complications after untreated mumps in 1910..."
-Thanks. I'll never forget that winter. -"... have led to sterility."
Fredrik has been sterile for 40 years.
A moment ago we had two murderers - now we have none.
We might have one murderer for all three murders.
I'll have one after all.
We assumed that it was Fredrik who had a confession.
But it could've been someone confessing to Fredrik.
"Forgive me, father, for I have sinned."
Fredrik had a heart attack and revised his will.
We read it backwards: we saw Helene and Björn.
But the interesting part was who didn't get any money?
His two sons.
They got as little as legally possible. Both could've gotten Gertrud pregnant.
Both had opportunity, and possibly motive.
Christer, this doesn't hold up.
Excuse me. Your mother was pretty, but mildly put light-footed.
-It could've been just about anyone. -She was killed a month before you left.
The others a couple of months after your return.
What a good thing I stayed away, then.
-Why did you flee, then? -Not because of a murder.
Seriously, if I had knocked someone up who I didn't want a child with-
-I would've just denied it.
It's not very nice but... A murder seems...
It doesn't follow the path of least resistance.
Maybe the fear of a strict patriarch could be a motive?
What now? You're suspecting Otto? That's impossible.
Tell them. No? Then I will.
Otto can't have made anyone pregnant either. He's never touched a woman.
-You mean except his wife? -No, that's not what I mean.
-I'm mean that he's impotent. -Helene, please...
So, now you know that too. Those of you who judge me...
I waited for 15 years before I let anyone else get near me.
Don't you understand? They're trying to pin three murders on you for some whore.
That calls for all cards on the table.
Are all cards on the table? Isn't it about faithfulness after all?
Faithfulness towards a dead woman?
You were too romantic for a prostitute?
A true romantic doesn't let a woman's reputation stop his feelings.
He doesn't care about propriety. He sees her for who she is.
How long did the happiness last? One month? Two months?
Before Fredrik found out.
Helene: Is this true, Otto?
I find that hard to believe, even if it frees me of suspicion.
Gertrud had such energy. She would've scared him to death.
You would've had a good laugh if you'd seen us together.
Yeah. We really were a ridiculous pairing.
And the most ridiculous part was that we loved each other.
She didn't scare me. She made me happy.
But your laughs... The idea of your laughs...
-But Fredrik wasn't laughing? -No. Dad wasn't laughing at all.
-Did he ask you to break it off? -Dad didn't "ask" for anything.
But Gertrud was already pregnant, isn't that right?
I never wanted to see Daniel, but what could I do?
Without dad's approval...
...I couldn't have provided for her.
-You have to help me, Daniel. -I'm no gynaecologist.
These things very often go wrong.
I'll talk to her, I can't promise more than that.
Gertrud never showed up at Daniel's office? That's how he remembered it.
He understood, and must've called you right away.
Can't you see they'll blame Helene? Her medicine, her inheritance...
He hadn't told anyone else. He practically begged to be killed.
If she had only had that abortion.
She said she couldn't do it because she loved me.
"It wouldn't be right".
She wanted us to get married, that me, Björn, and the baby would...
...start a new life.
But I couldn't. I didn't dare become anyone else.
[Gunshot]
I thought that's what dad demanded of me.
That was your biggest mistake.
You thought he demanded it and knew that you went through with it.
Then I started asking questions. That's when you got really worried.
...get rid of Wijk. He's gonna find out the truth.
I spared the family from this scandal. You have to help me.
What are you saying, Otto?
What have you done?
He had no idea what I kept secret all these years.
He said I should turn myself in, or he'd turn me in the day after.
You made sure he didn't have a day after.
I loved him, maybe more than anyone else here.
I loved Gertrud.
I even loved that kid, but no matter what I did...
...I wasn't enough.
I hope this doesn't come between you two. If you have each other, something turns out right.
We... We found the weapon.
But maybe you're already done?
I know but... You're going to crash.
I'll have to blame myself. I was warned. "Roses, kisses, and death".
You're always welcome with us, you know that.
I'll see you again soon. Thank yo ufor everything.
Both of you.
-Are you turning a new leaf? -I'm a sane and smart girl, really.
A sane girl who ended up in hell. Maybe you wanted some?
-I have everything against heartbreak. -I was gonna try the whiskey method.
That's manlier, of course.
-Poor Otto. -Do you pity him?
You're right. He stole 15 years of my life.
So where does your new one begin?
I've never been to Stockholm.
-You're not much of a mourner. -In the right company it can be pleasant.
