- What is it?

I thought Suzette

was in Sweden.

No, she's in Spain,

at the riding school.

Wait. Vibeke, I think you

just need to talk to her mother.

- Vibeke Jensen here.

- Isn't Suzette at your place?

Suzette Soderstrom is missing.

The local police informed Interpol

and they contacted us again.

- What do we do now?

- Of course we'll do our best.

We'll check phone, passport and bank

accounts to fill in the gaps.

If she's here somewhere,

we'll find her.

There is no indication...

Suzette left Spain.

I still have no internet.

Can you find out more about Suzette?

Gas Murder. "Sportsman's

Daughter missing,

after family deaths".

Get that straight.

The search has revealed

nothing.

- Suzette had a blog.

- Okay, wait a minute...

- BlogSpot. Suzettesblog.

- Thank you.

Come.

I'm Polly. That's me.

Why didn't Suzette

return to Sweden?

- Her mother was upset.

- Why did she do that to Vibeke?

She's not here and not there.

Where can she be?

You're her best friend.

No idea. The whole family's dead and

she doesn't return my calls.

- When did you talk to her?

- Last week, via SMS.

- When?

- Monday, I think.

She said her phone was broken and

told me not to worry.

- Can I have her number?

- Yes, but it's turned off.

I can always try.

She tells her mother she's...

at Vibeke's.

And Vibeke claims she went home.

- Has she run away?

- Doesn't seem so.

She disappeared

two days before the murder.

She's had a week or so to get in

touch and hasn't used her passport.

There must be some trace of her?

I've got something

you might find interesting.

These are two of the men

who broke into Soderstroms.

They were found dead in their car.

In our view, they're Romanians.

- How did they die?

- Overdose. Morphine.

- It was in their beer bottles.

- Who did that?

We don't know. We have traces of

two cars and three people.

We don't know

who the third was.

Everything except the contents of

the safe was found in their car.

- Was that everything they took?

- Everything seems to point to that.

- I want an article in "Evening Press".

- Pardon?

Not about this.

About something else.

- I don't write anything on request.

- Not even a good story?

No, my boss isn't happy if

I don't relate all the local atmosphere.

Come with me tonight.

Bring your camera along.

I'll let you see

the surroundings.

If you want to write

an article, go ahead.

Please. A nice gesture

from the Spanish police.

Last week a truck

full of cocaine left for Stockholm.

Tonight another one departs.

So I have to write about two

intercepted trucks?

No, we let the first go.

But not tonight.

Why do you want

me to write the article?

We're trying to smoke out

a Swedish cop, but he is on his guard.

If he gets wise to this,

he'll disappear and we can begin again.

But a boastful article can help us

lure him out in the open.

So you want him to think

you only knew about one truck?

- Spanish drug seizures aren't news.

- But we'll nab the courier.

That makes no difference.

Even if he's Swedish?

We don't know if there will be any

security or if he comes alone.

Good?

- How do you know about tonight?

- We tapped his phone.

What's his name?

The courier?

Johan Martinez Zarco, or: Jocke.

He's 26, born in Sweden.

Understood.

The truck was seen

now just wait. Step back.

And stay there.

Hey you.

You there.

What are you doing?

Give me that phone.

Give me.

Give me that camera, dammit.

Police.

Easy.

- Shut up and lie still.

- Swedish? I'm a Swedish citizen.

What's this about?

I didn't do anything.

I didn't do anything.

I didn't do anything.

I told you I'm Swedish.

No photos.

- Okay?

- Yes.

- Will I get my article?

- I don't know. That's not up to me.

Know what?

We'll have a beer.

It won't get the front page.

I understand my new boss.

It seems incompetence is a

requirement. Then you've got Patrik.

- What?

- Continue.

- What is it?

- Continue.

Do you talk about

other things than work?

Do I too much?

Where are you talking about?

- Annika here.

- This is exactly what I meant.

"The dark side of luxury lifestyle".

"Cocaine Coast. " A whole series.

But if the whole series,

I'd have to send a photographer.

- Good job, Bengtzon.

- But you...

They'll take the article.

We're a good team.

Good morning.

- Annika.

- Have you received my mail?

- You're also good morning.

- I have a new idea:

"Cocaine Coast, the

villain and the hero. "

Can you interview that courier?

I think so.

I have a good informant.

- I'll just catch that hero.

- It's all arranged.

A conference on

drugs opens today in Malaga.

You'll interview an expert.

- What's his name?

- I'll text you his name.

- And then Suzette?

- Cocaine Coast is your story.

- There's a 16-year-old girl missing.

- We've already written about that.

I'll send a photographer.

You pick her up at the airport.

- Who?

- Lotta. She's new.

Better I couldn't adjust as quickly.

- She's not a temporary worker?

- It goes down very well.

Thanks, Patrik...

Are you Lotta? I'm Annika.

You have a lot of stuff with you.

- Is the hotel far away?

- One hour. But we won't go there.

- I have to charge my flash.

- We have an interview in 3/4 of an hour.

Is it such a tight schedule?

Niklas scheduled it. We have only

five minutes. And no cameras.

- Why was I sent then?

- Don't you have a small camera then?

- This is unethical.

- You shouldn't bring anything inside.

I don't like to

impose myself on others.

Please only one wide angle picture.

"A Swede locked up here".

- Search is an unfortunate angle.

- I am the photographer.

- Who are you? What is it?

- This is Annika Bengtzon, journalist.

Damn, it's you.

You took those pictures of me.

- I write articles...

- I won't talk to you.

- They'll think I talked.

- It can be anonymous.

- You shouldn't write about me.

- I can tell your story.

My story? Are you crazy?

That only makes it worse.

- What?

- Why what? They will...

They'll murder me.

Don't you understand?

The people who you work for?

Who are they?

- Do you use drugs yourself?

- Are you, my therapist?

I'm not a junkie.

Help me out here.

Help. They will murder

me if they hear,

just like the Soderstrom family.

- The Soderstrom family?

- Can you hear me?

Sebastian... Did you know him?

Is that why he was murdered?

If you tell me now,

I'll do everything to help you.

APITS:

Get me out and I tell you.

Sir, I receive the package.

I have the content,

of the safe, you required but...

- I'm afraid the accounts are missing.

- Are you cure?

Yes, yes... I look for everything.

Those papers are not here.

Just find them!

- Was Soderstrom involved in drugs?

- Not that I know of.

- What's this about?

- Where are you going? I need to talk.

I'm at a conference on drugs

in Malaga.

You're kidding. I have an interview.

See you in fifteen minutes?

It wasn't easy to

get a good picture.

But I did it. Look.

- What is the prison?

- Don't you see? Behind these men.
