Linda?
Linda!
Linda?
Poor girl ... So.
MARIA WERN DREAMS FROM SNOW
You came in?
I wonder if they'll enjoy their meeting this morning ...
-Are you okay? -Yes, I'm okay. I think.
I'm more worried about Linda. I couldn't stop watching her this morning.
She just laughs and is happy. She saw the same thing as me.
I don't know ...
Nice shirt, by the way. You are alone, right?
-The iron is broken. -Yeah. But the dryer seems to work.
You seems pretty healthy. Enough to enjoy other people's misery.
Okay. I can't add more to what's written in the newspapers.
Young woman found lying in the middle of the road.
The only thing the press doesn't know is her identity and that's good.
What makes a person lie on the road two weeks before Christmas?
-Suicide increases at the holidays. -If you are alone, yes. But barely 17?
Was she under the influence of drugs?
Erika will examine her now and report back when she knows.
Cecilia Ståhl. 17. In the second class at Polhems High School. Had high marks.
Was never in contact with the police before.
-Has the family been notified? -Not yet. That still needs to be done.
You knew her, Hartman?
Wait. Somebody isn't quite in tune. Who is it?
Out with it. There isn't anything to be ashamed of. Yes, yes ... We'll continue.
Thomas Hartman in my church? Wonders never cease.
-Have you gone and found religion? -It's ...
We ate breakfast .... We sat opposite each other. She yelled at me -
Because I smoke. You can't be both a priest and a smoker, she says.
-Saw you her last night? -No. We had a concert here last night.
I was up this morning and made breakfast. I thought she ...
I thought she was sleeping.
-Can I do anything for you? -What? No.
You can help me home.
Of course.
Come on. Honey ...
All right. If I meet you there later.
Follow this up. Whatever happened to her, we'll find out.
-What about his wife? -He doesn't have a wife. She's dead.
Take the school because I'll meet them at the morgue.
How do you do it? How do you tell such a thing to 600 students?
What do you say?
Sit down. It's unbelievable.
Some students do hardly a day, and others are like Cecilia.
-As everyone knows. For better or worse ... -For better or worse?
Did I say that? No, I don't know ...
I've seen it too much; some might not like it.
-So, there wasn't any bullying. -Could it have happened after last period?
Just what we talked about it in the staff room.
Her mother died, but it was long before she started here.
Cecilia didn't worry. She loved life.
She couldn't have killed herself. It's an impossibility.
-Where is her locker? -I'll find out.
-We want to talk to the class teacher. -I understand. Absolutely.
The regular teacher is on leave and we don't have a replacement yet.
-Can we talk to him? -Yes. Pontus Henningson.
-Jonas, what are you doing? -I saw it was broken.
-The police want to look at Cecilia's locker. -That's what's broken.
-Jonas is a janitor here sometimes. -It was broken ...
Catch him. The guy who killed Cecilia.
Maria?
-Do you think they are genuine goods? -Wow.
Do you think I have an eye for stuff things on my salary? We should ask Ek look into it.
Polhems High School values its students. Support groups are available.
Psychologists don't want yesterday's suicide to trigger more -
But admit it may have an influence.
Many people ask themselves if there was a "Christmas message".
Eyewitnesses compare the girl to St. Lucia or an angel.
-Hello? Is it work or private? -Do you know the difference?
-How are you? -Okay, I think. It was a tough day.
-We, too. We received results. -Okay. Cecilia?
Her blood had high levels of carbon dioxide.
-What? Choking? -If it was so easy.
We found chemical burns in her mouth, throat and respiratory system.
All right. So someone killed her and then put her on the road.
That's not true!
Johannes, what's happened here?
The drowned man was identified as Pontus Henningson.
Class teacher of Cecilia Ståhl. We looked for him without success.
Everything points to suicide. Ek?
Lungs full of water and a backpack full of scrap iron.
As you know, Cecilia was dead when she was placed on the road.
Likely suffocated by a corrosive substance.
And her father Johannes reported someone had broken into his church.
- His work computer is missing. Anything more? -Just a question mark.
Cecilia's broken locker was full of designer clothes and luxury handbags.
Why break into a locker and leave that stuff? Where do they come from and how could she afford them?
It's extremely complex.
The new findings upgrade the case to a murder investigation.
Patrick and Maria go and speak with the class teacher's wife.
Yes. Right.
Yes, you. Just one thing.
You can't give her the news of his death in a shirt looking like that.
Are you coming?
We met ten years ago, Pontus and me. Here at the school.
He was an amazing teacher. Everybody wanted him as principal.
Then Cecilia started. And everything she did here ...
was a smear campaign and nothing else.
She got what she wanted. As she always did.
Kristina? Do you think Pontus had anything to do with her death?
-Patrick? Was it so? -Yes.
Then you should listen to me, Patrick.
If anyone is guilty of anything, it's Cecilia.
She killed my husband. And don't say anythng different.
These were in his pocket.
Several times a week.
In the end he couldn't open them himself.
Do you have any idea who who wrote them?
During the first semester everyone writes a book review.
-But everyone didn't choose the book. -The same handwriting.
If she was like than on the inside, she probably wasn't very happy.
A good picture. Interesting, but ... What explains it?
-Sorry. Ruth Martensson, art teacher. -Yeah. Maria Wern.
-Hello. -Hello. Well ...
Have you noticed everyone says they're shocked, but no one is sad?
I thought she was well liked.
Or were they afraid to get on her wrong side.
-Mom? Hello. -Hello.
Pontus is dead. Did you hear that? First Cecilia died and then him.
Yes, we know. That is why we are here.
Jonas, yesterday you said ... I don't know if you remember -
But you said: "I hope you get at him." You remember that?
-Who did you mean? -The guy who did it.
But everyone here thought she did it herself?
Jonas, do you know anything you haven't told us?
You can't fix people. It isn't possible. You can't!
You can't fix people!
If it wasn't for Montelius, he'd just sit and make bead mosaics.
Here he has a life and has done well until ...
Mentally retarded, weak or gifted, you shouldn't make fun of him.
You shouldn't pretend to flirt with him.
It was a completely different atmosphere in school when ...
When Cecilia arrived?
Yes.
-And her friends. -What do you mean?
Over here.
Were you friends, you and Cecilia?
Off and on. Well ... But friends is a ridiculous word.
A ridiculous word?
At school they say Hanna, Cecilia and you were together all the time.
-Is that correct? -Sometimes we did, sometimes not.
-Did you notice a difference in Cecilia? -What do you mean?
Was she afraid or did she do anything differently than she usually did?
Did she tell you something? Had she met someone or had anything happened?
What did she do in the evenings when she wasn't with you?
We were classmates. You don't tell everything.
Do you know about this letter?
-Pontus Henningson -What do you think about him?
He was our class teacher and now he is dead.
Cecilia said he groped her.
-Do you know that? -No.
Pontus groped her, she became pissed off and wrote letters.
Do you believe that?
-Did he do it? Did he grope her? -No.
-Why are you protecting Cecilia? -Why do you think?
It's something you don't say.
-What are you afraid of? -I'm not afraid.
-You frighten me. -I'm not trying to scare you.
I'm trying to get you to help me.
I don't think I can help you.
If Cecilia was sitting here now, don't you think she would want you to help us then?
I'm not like Cecilia.
-What did you say? -I'm not like Cecilia.
No. How was she, then?
-Can you tell? -Everyone has to go to school.
Either you were with her, or you weren't.
I have to be happy if I can live with it
-Amanda, Cecilia was murdered. -I know.
It ... it was a guy ...
... on the physical education program, an athlete.
I know they were together.
He was obsessed with her, but she ...
so, he should have known, everyone knew no one went steady with Cecilia.
She took what she wanted.
-Does he have a name? -Tom.
Tom Flodström.
-Hello. We are looking for Tom Flodström. -He lives over there.
Tom? Tom Flodström?
Hello?
What do you say? Is he possessed or just unhappy in love?
-What do we do? -Stay here. It's a school day tomorrow.
-We'll give it a couple of hours. -Okay.
Thank you for your iron. It will to be of use.
May I ask you something?
If someone asks you if you're married, What do you say?
-That I was married once. -Do you still see yourself as married?
I don't know. Why are we talking about that?
No one can accuse you of be easy to get along with.
I miss him sometimes and sometimes not.
Sometimes I'm happy and then sometimes I'm sorry.
What does the psychologist say? Is it normal?
I've known you since you were 22. I call you if I discover anything normal.
Yes, do so.
Damn, it takes 15 years before you realize you should have done it differently.
It isn't a good idea. It isn't very smart.
Fuck being smart.
You.
Hello?
Did you see where Tom went? He went out?
-But what the hell? Hell. -Oh my God ...
You sat in the car and watched the house. How could you miss him?
There was a back door. We weren't fast enough.
-What do we do? Is he guilty? -He had been dumped ...
I know what we know! Tell me something I can act on.
-Sorry. Sorry. -How long have you known him?
I really don't know if we know each other anymore.
Student grants seem a lot bigger now than in my time.
She wore the dress to a dance last fall.
She was so proud.
It shone on her.
It's nice.
She had pretty expensive tastes.
Yes. We talked about it.
Sure, I wished she'd use the money on other things, but ...
It was her money.
-Did she have a moped? -Yes. She loved the moped.
It cost a small fortune, but she struggled and saved.
How? I mean, She had other income?
Yes, she did a lot of moonlighting.
She was very good.
Very clever.
These kinds of messages are for real. This is anger.
So Pontus Henningson groped Cecilia?
Yes.
Can I ask another thing? As a professional.
Yes.
This thing with Linda. After the bus.
She doesn't talk about it at all. Shouldn't she?
I'm not a specialist in children.
Who is? Not me either. And I have two ...
Yes ... children are resilient. They process trauma in their own way.
When she feels ready, she'll talk about it.
That is, if she hasn't inherited the gene from you.
You?
-Maria? You ... -No.
-Maria, we won't ... -No. We won't.
-It's best we don't talk about it. -I know you work like that, but ...
It might not be the smartest thing to do right now. If we were to start ...
No.
-Then we'll see you in the office tomorrow. -Yes.
Hi, Maria. - Hi, Helen.
Hey, there you are. Ek wants us at the conference.
-You're late. -Yes, yes ... All right.
All right. We got into in Cecilia's computer in the end.
-And here ... -What was there?
Hundreds of deposits from other accounts.
From a few hundred SEK up to a 1,000 SEK, sometimes 2,000 SEK.
For what?
We wondered too until I found this.
-Cecilia paid for a web site. -My God in heaven.
-Some of the images are Cecilia? -Yes.
Johannes won't be able to cope with that.
He won't be able to cope.
There isn't anything I can say ...
... to you to make this easier.
because what happened is ...
... unbelievable.
Cecilia was a classmate, a friend.
A smiling face.
But above all she was one of us.
We, all of us have lost one of us.
What we can do now is to help and comfort each other.
And help each other to ...
... remember Cecilia as she was when she was with us.
and understand and accept that ...
... Sometimes ...
... life is like that ...
Police!
Stop!
Stop, I say! Police!
-Stop! -Stop!
Stop!
It wasn't me! I promise!
Why haven't you been home since the night before last?
-And why did you run away from us, Tom? -It wasn't so smart.
But it wasn't me. I promise.
You were together, right? You and Cecilia.
-Yes. I thought so. -You were in love with Cecilia?
But it wasn't mutual?
What happened?
Nothing. Not a damn thing.
I called, but she didn't answer. I sent a text message.
I tried to talk to her at school, but she didn't want to.
She got what she wanted. Then it no longer mattered.
-What did you do? -What the hell would I do?
Hell I miss her so much.
Why would I want to hurt her?
The interview is finished. Thank you.
-That gave us nothing. -No, no, no.
What does this mean? We write him off completely?
We haven't anything to keep him on.
But what's your gut reaction?
My guts say he's a sad boy not involved in Cecilia's death.
The sex site, then?
It is registered to a private individual in the Urals.
The site is located on a web space in Russia. Isn't it amazing?
The better the communication, more difficult for us.
The site has visitors from around the world.
It needn't be any of them who is the perpetrator.
We start with what that have. Surely someone at the school can tell us.
Who tells Johannes?
Yes ...
-Hello? Lalla Ståhl. -Hey, it's Thomas.
You are ruining my life!
Hello, you've reached Anna's cell phone, leave a message after the beep.
Maybe it's my fault.
Maybe I doubted.
Guide Me, because I don't understand.
Why?
Why me?
Why again?
-Hello. -I don't know who to talk to.
I'm afraid. I can't get hold of Hanna. I don't know where she is.
It's so horrible. Poor girl.
Another girl was found murdered outside Visby.
This is the second case in a short time and in secondary schools -
there is fear it will happen again.
Under pressure several high schools -
said they can't guarantee students'safety -
and are considering initiating counselling.
We have a murder that is exactly like the former one.
The girl was choked. Ek?
Preliminary - yes. The same chemical burns.
Placed on the road like last time.
Stark naked with outstretched arms; it may be something religious?
Is she an angel? Is that what someone is trying to say?
Or are they angels like everyone thinks.
That's right about Cecilia, but in Hanna's case, too?
She may also appear on the site.
Most of the girls are hiding their faces. Chat rooms seem to be most important.
No one can find them now.
If any more acquaintances were involved, they'll stay safely out of the way now.
Is there anything new on the password for Cecilia's computer?
She didn't used her own computer. Nor Hannah either.
Hell we 're getting no where.
-Does the third girl need protection? -Yes, that's what we are working on.
I need to talk to her again. She hasn't said anything.
Thanks for coming, Amanda. I understand it's a hassle.
It was Johannes who told me to. Cecilia's father.
Why did you want to see Hanna?
-She was scared. She received an e-mail. -An e-mail?
To her own hotmail account. From the same person as Cecilia.
Who?
Amanda, are you involved in "Young Skin"? Tell me, please.
The last time we saw you, you said you have to be happy if I can live with it. Right?
Did Cecilia force you to appear that way on the website?
It was so easy in the beginning.
We didn't show our faces, so we didn't think anybody recognized us.
And who could it be? Somebody on the other side of the world. What does it matter?
But then we noticed he had checked.
Who? Who?
Pontus Henningson? Your class teacher?
What a son of a bitch he was.
He was over 40 and we were his students.
-Why did you think it was him? -We knew.
He sent a message to us. Wrote things.
Things that just our class teacher could know.
Do you know how scared we were? What was more disgusting. He used our names!
-Why did you spread the rumor he groped you? -We didn't lie. It was so.
He didn't put his hands on us, but ... Not in school, but ...
He stared at us on the web. While he sat at home and ...
Were there more than three of you? No?
Where is the e-mail now? Can we see it?
It was a personal message he sent to the site.
-Where were you going? -He would kill us if he knew.
-Who? -We used Cecilia's dad's computer.
From the church.
-So the burglary ...? -It was Hannah, not me.
All right. Can you think of anyone else who could have sent the e-mails?
Pontus Henningson committed suicide a week ago.
Hanna died in the night. I don't think he sent the e-mails.
Who was it, then? And what will happen to me?
Expensive habits ...
We can only guess how many live streamings they sent out.
Why do you do this?
But the really interesting thing is what prompts the girls to do that.
Invitations from "almost hot". Mostly in English, but one user-name
is "your love" in Swedish.
Nasty it escalated to this.
"I saw your movies. Meet me in person or see them on Youtube tomorrow."
The following day Cecilia was found by the bus.
It is personal.
I need access to the school computers. I'll talk to the prosecutor.
-Happy holidays, everyone. -Thank you.
Laila?
-Hey, baby. Are you ready now? -Yes.
-Good night, Patrick. -Good night.
-Maybe it's you who will read this evening? -Yes! Please? Please Patrik?
-Please? -Yes, yes ... It is better if mother ...
No. You. Please Patrik. Please.
I think it is better if mom reads the book, actually.
-No. You. -I'll read, baby.
Make some tea. I will be back soon.
-You? Did you ask her to hug me? -No.
I have a well brought up daughter. Good night.
I know it's Sunday. But you may well decide anyway?
That is what duty prosecutors are for.
I don't want to discuss the matter. I need a decision today. Today.
But please ...
Because I want the investigation to move forward! Thank you.
Johannes! Johannes!
He is in intensive care, I understand and ...
He is receiving oxygen. They don't know if he will wake up.
Nor whether he will suffer any permanent harm.
Are we sure it's a suicide attempt?
Sorry, but after everything that's happened, so ...
The letter was in the car, he admits blame for both murders.
-No details. -No. Just a confession.
And he asks for God's forgiveness.
Why does he want us to believe that?
-Maybe he wants to protect someone. -We have searched all morning for Laila.
In order to inform her.
We don't want to broadcast more than that.
But we'll keep our eyes open. Yes.
Marianne and I were often there. We sat in front of the fire and drank bad sherry.
And ... and now you're here.
You?
-Nothing is your fault. -No, I know.
What the hell ...?
Hartman?
Your mobile phone was switched off?
I've been with my sister in Börsvik. I needed to think.
How long have you and Johannes lived together?
-Johannes didn't kill Cecilia. -You don't think so.
Do you think he did it to protect me?
Should we believe it?
I hated her terribly sometimes.
But I wouldn't kill her. I'll show you something.
She wrote this to me.
I love Johannes. I would ...
... never ever do anything to hurt him.
Don't leave me.
Honey.
Good morning.
If you want to pretend that you didn't arrive in the same car, think of these.
-You can see right through them. -Yeah.
Did you have an issue or do you just want to make fun of a car pool?
-you were looking for Cecilia's scooter ... -Have we found it?
-It was in the school's bicycle parking. -Yeah. Thanks anyway.
You can't have it all.
-So, it begins to leak out ... -Apparently. I don't know.
-Does it bother you? -No.
No. You ...
-Do you think it goes too fast? -No.
I think of the kids and so ...
I want you to like them. And they'll like you.
You don't? And then maybe you get a little ...
-I don't know ... -It's me ...
-I'm not comfortable with children. -They don't bite.
-Really? -Each other, perhaps, but not you.
They are really nice, I promise. And they think about you a lot already.
You said they had good sense.
We can pick up the school's computers.
600 students with an equal number of usernames.
It's like looking for a needle in hay stack.
We haven't anything else. What do we have?
A confession we don't believe. A boyfriend who we released.
The pastor's wife was halfway to Börsvik when Hanna was murdered.
Is there nothing on the computers, we haven't anything.
Damn!
Arvidsson. Hey.
-It is the school's computers! -Let him go.
Well ...
-They're taking our computers. -Jonas, they're cops. They can take them.
We are just borrowing them.
It was Hartman. Johannes has woken up-
And retracted his confession.
I knew it.
Forgive me.
For this because you thought it was me?
For both of them.
I should have understood.
I should have known what she was doing.
I didn't.
I was afraid of how she would take it and I was ...
Then I thought:
"What if I lose her?"
And so were you there with me all the time and I was just scared.
Forgive me, Laila.
Thank you.
-God, what a mess -Yes.
-Come on, Erika! -What?
-We will take one day at a time, so we'll see. -But seriously. How does it feel?
Well ... He's in there. I don't want him to hear.
-What do you mean "in here"? -I'm out with the trash.
-What do the kids think, then? -They like him. A lot.
Wait a minute.
He said one thing that made me a little pensive. It was ...
-Mamma! -Wait a minute. God, it's Linda.
Mom, come!
-Mamma! -What happens?
Come!
-What is it, honey? -That girl ...
-What girl? -Why was she there? At the bus?
So, lie down, let's see.
You just try to sleep now, honey? Never mind.
Can you close your eyes? So.
I'll be back soon.
If I go there and meet him; can you protect me?
He wants to meet at eight o'clock. Why can't I go there?
-You are 17 years old, Amanda. -He has murdered Cecilia and Hanna.
Now he's looking for me. I want go there. I really want to do it.
We can't decide things ourselves, Amanda.
If we were to do something like that; we have to get permission of the prosecutor.
Good. Should I call or will you?
-Hello. -Hello.
I called you before. But you know that.
I saw it. I wasn't quite finished. You ...
What happened yesterday with Linda? I don't really know.
She was quite desperate and what did you do? You just stood there.
I ... I ...
I'm sorry, Maria. I ...
It can't just be difficulties with children?
No, I really wish it was so.
They're not the just children any more. They're my babies.
I can't stand it like that.
-I have spoken to the prosecutor. -What does he say?
Can we handle this?
Amanda? Amanda, do you hear me?
-I am here. -We are in the vicinity. We have a full view.
You control it. If you want to call it off, we will do so. Okay?
-Amanda? -I get it.
-Other vehicles, do you hear me? -We see her nicely.
Same here.
-Ek? Arvidsson? Are you awake? -Yes.
-All under control. We see her well. -We wait and see what happens.
This sounds like out of a cheap paper back novel, but ...
Actually, I have missed you ever since the academy.
Then everything turned out as it did.
Maria, I want to live with you.
I want to be with you again.
Well ...
How can this be done? Huh?
I am a package deal. I have my two children every day, every week-
-Year round, always. That's the way it is.
I don't want it otherwise. It will always be so.
-I'll do it. -You must take it.
Ek here. The person in the shop window, man or woman?
-We don't see. We wait. -Okay. Got it.
Amanda, can you hear me?
We're watching you. If he makes contact, we'll see.
All right. That's good.
What the hell is that? What is she doing?
-Are you ready? -Yes.
-we wait until someone makes contact. -Roger.
Got it. we wait.
-we wait. -Amanda, can you hear me?
Yeah, I hear. -Amanda, can you hear me?
Yes, that's cool.
Amanda, can you hear me?
Ek? Arvidsson? Is there anyone who sees her?
-Does anyone see her? -No, we don't see her.
we abort. I repeat.: we abort.
She's not her! She must be on the bus.
Police. - Amanda? Amanda!
What the hell ... She isn't on board.
Wait here.
Where the hell is she? Huh?
Someone saw her go with a person toward Adelgatan.
All right. Two cars. You drive up Adelgatan-
Second car you drive around and look from the other direction. Search for tracks in the snow.
-Maria. -We got a hit on the school computers.
A user has been on "Young Skin" many times during the fall.
-Jonas Mårtensson. -Arvidsson! Ek!
There is a janitor at the school. Do we have his home address? All right.
Hello! Here I am! Open! Help!
Wern!
A farewell letter.
"Now we are at the end of the road. He will"...
It isn't at all.
"I never wanted to let it go that far. Now we are at the end of the road."
"He will never to manage without me."
It is the mother who wrote. It's Ruth. The art teacher.
-Damn! What's her surname? -Mårtensson.
Hey, I want the address of Ruth Mårtensson.
Damn. Moped! It's at the school.
She took it there the night she was there.
Don't you understand? She is at the school.
Help!
"They weren't angels, they lived as if they owned the world."
"They went over the top. No one said a thing."
"They mocked my son and drove their class teacher to his death."
"I'm sorry about Jonas and his pictures, but it was thanks to him"-
- "I found their weak point."
Call an ambulance!
She is alive. Find her, I'll call an ambulance.
An ambulance to Polhems High School. Immediately.
Amanda? Take it easy. Breathe. So.
So. Amanda.
Good.
-How are you? -That's good.
That's good. It's really is.
