but I manage the contacts.

- What can I do for you?

- I need information about the Soderstroms.

According to my source is a gas alarm

is standard here. Didn't they have one?

- Yes.

- Was it broken?

I'm not directly

involved in the matter...

But I understand

the alarm worked properly.

And the cause

of death was gas inhalation?

That was the initial assessment.

- Are there any other indications?

- A different gas than usual was used.

What was that?

- They used fentanyl.

- What is that?

Do you remember when the Russian

police invaded the Dubrovka theater?

Was that fentanyl?

When hundreds of people died.

- Is it often used by gangs?

- No.

Fentanyl is hard to come by.

- So they were killed deliberately?

- We can only speculate about that.

Can it be a settling of accounts?

I'm going to look for the

number of the guide I mentioned.

Why would anyone want to kill

an ex-hockey player?

Carita Halling-Gonzales,

married to a Swede.

We usually use her

as an interpreter,

but I think she'll be

willing to assist.

- I'm Carita. You need a guide?

- Niklas Linde advised me to call you.

- A small coffee, please.

- Anything else?

- No, I don't want anything.

- Nothing more. Thank you.

Where were we? I ask 43 euro an hour,

plus expenses. Is that okay?

- What do you mean expenses?

- Gasoline, if we go in my car.

- I have my own car.

- Okay.

- Did you know the Soderstrom family?

- I never saw them.

A terrible event.

- Where are you going?

- To the house of the Soderstrom family.

Do you want to go in?

- Can you?

- Not if you hand around.

I'll make sure you get in.

Wait here.

The burglars took everything of

value with them.

Here is where the family was found.

The mother lay near the window.

Don't touch anything, please.

My condolences.

- What did he say?

- Sorry.

I told him you knew the family.

- There are the children's rooms.

- You lied?

- A journalist would have to pay much more.

- You bribed him?

I charge it as simply "various expenses".

This is the children's room.

This is the room of the little girl.

I think she just wants to be alone.

We'll wait downstairs.

You must hurry, the

investigators will be back.

Would you also say goodbye to

the older girl?

- I'm sorry I don't understand.

- The big girl. You want good bay?

- The big girl?

- Yes.

- Yes, please.

- This way.

bSuzette's Room/b

Who is Suzette? There's a teenager's

room with "Suzette" on the door.

Another child?

Suzette Soderstrom is Sebastian's

daughter who lives in Sweden.

- The room seemed inhabited.

- How do you know?

- Do you have her number?

- Why should I give that?

- I just want to talk to her.

- Good luck with that.

What a shitty connection.

Soderstrom like many Swedes spent

a lot of time at the golf club.

My knees no longer worked,

So I started golf.

- I can't with internet access.

- That happens in Spain.

I have a Suzette Soderstrom.

Jannike Diana Suzette, 16 years.

- Have you her number?

- I'll look up the address.

Soderstrom, Lenita Marika, 42 years.

That would be her mother.

Four adverse credit records,

no phone.

I'll see if I can find it here.

- Have you found out anymore?

- Have just spoken to Berit?

- I asked her what to search for.

- You could have called me.

I was busy.

- What do you have?

- "Police suspect murder".

- What? You're kidding.

- It was no accident.

Then we do "The deadly drama,

minute by minute".

- We'll need some pictures?

- Yes. I took some photos.

- Good. Was there anyone they knew?

- Sebastian had a daughter, Suzette.

- I'm trying to track her down.

- No, we can do that.

- Mind you with a Sweden family there.

- I'll go to the Swedish club.

Good. Try to arrange

a minute's silence.

- I will see what's planned.

- Ask why it hasn't happened.

- That always works for me.

- I want to insist on a memorial?

Yes. Then your best.

Call me when it's over.

Excuse me,

what's going on here?

We commemorating the

Soderstrom family.

That bastard. Let people mourn

for the money they won't get back.

Members, guests,

friends of the press.

Sebastian Soderstrom

was a role model,

a good friend and colleague.

I ask you all to join me in

one minute's silence...

Sebastian, Veronica,

My and Leo.

- Thank you for coming.

- Was that a minute?

- Hello, Carita.

- Rickard.

- As beautiful as ever.

- Rickard Marmen. Annika Bengtzon.

We've already spoken to each other.

Nice to finally see.

Sebastian Soderstrom...

People seem angry at him. Why?

- Shall we sit down?

- I'll get something to drink.

- There was always something with Sebastian.

- What do you mean?

He wanted to do something new, so he

started a number of projects here.

People believed in his success,

but he wasn't a good businessman.

- He swindled money from people?

- Only rich people.

No, seriously.

I think he didn't expressly do that.

He wanted to introduce a new sport:

Stick ball. Ever heard of it?

- Never.

- Just like everyone else.

I think a lot of people lost money

through his projects.

Can someone have been

angry enough to murder him?

Who knows?

It wasn't like people knew he

hadn't invested his own money.

- Why not? They were rich.

- Seemed to be, yes.

Sebastian had no money.

Only his wife worked.

Veronica was a lawyer.

Why didn't anyone talk about Suzette,

Sebastian's eldest daughter?

She didn't really belong to the family.

We never saw her.

- They were never all together.

- Does anyone know any more about that?

Try Vibeke Jensen.

She's Danish. She runs a riding school

in Cancelada.

Near San Pedro?

I know her.

Hello, is anyone there?

Sh*t.

Wait here,

I don't have an interpreter.

I hear it when you need help.

Pardon.

Can I help you?

- Vibeke Jensen?

- Yes.

Hi. Annika Bengtzon.

I'm looking

for Suzette Soderstrom.

You're writing about

the accident?

Yes, I'm looking for

information on the family.

Everyone could see

something wasn't right.

Tell me.

They fought a lot, she and her

stepmother, Veronica.

- They quarreled?

- Yes.

She's come to live here

when it was too much for her.

I offered her a job.

She was supposed to start last week.

- Was she in Spain last week?

- Yes.

She called me the morning she

was supposed to start.

She said she had to go back to

her mother in Stockholm.

Of course she should have known,

but it was quite unexpected.

In hindsight I'm glad

she went home.

- Did you talk to her after-wards?

- No.

- Can I have her number?

- No.

Or the number of her mother?

I just want to ask some questions.

Suzette doesn't need to know

about it if you don't want.

Okay.

- Hello?

- Can I Speak to Lenita?

I'm Annika Bengtzon

of "Evening Press".

Sorry about your ex-husband.

Can I ask you some questions?

I've nothing to say.

- May I speak to Suzette?

- She's not here now.

- When she comes back?

- She's in Spain, at a riding school.

- Vibeke Jensen's?

- Yes.

- I'm there now. Suzette isn't here.
