The article is about a

boy who ended up in hell.

What's that got to do

with these men playing chess?

I can't just shoot the building.

You should put something in the

foreground to create perspective.

- You want to come with me.

- Hello.

Was Sebastian involved in drugs?

- Jocke talked about him.

- What'd he say?

They will murder me like they did

the Soderstrom family.

Annika?

Thomas?

What are you doing here?

- You have the children.

- They are with Sophia.

- Why did you hear about nothing?

- It was your week.

Still, you can tell me.

I'm here for a conference.

I have an interview.

It's you, of course.

- Are you the hero who Patrik found?

- Hero?

- I can't interview you.

- Yes, that would be uncomfortable.

Niklas Linde. Narcotics.

He works here.

- Thomas.

- Niklas.

So...

- Do you have time to talk?

- Of course.

Good luck with that conference.

- Who was that?

- My ex-husband.

Jocke said something.

Well, he wrote it.

APITS.

Any idea what that might be?

APITS? That's the warehouse

where we picked up him.

I'd like to go there.

Well, I'm done here.

We can go in my car.

- Is that your photographer?

- From the "Evening Press".

- You can have her.

- I prefer journalists.

- Here stood the truck.

- Beautiful surroundings.

This is a company called

APITS Depsito.

APITS Transporte is the

owner of the truck.

Who's the owner of APITS?

It is registered in Gibraltar,

but not nationally.

Making it a part of Europe

attractive to smugglers.

Gibraltar and Morocco are close,

and the coast isn't well guarded.

It's a crime scene.

We must touch nothing.

Sorry. I'll work around it.

- APITS Does it do anything else?

- No.

There is a web domain name,

apits. com, but there's no user.

- Can I quote you?

- No. I want to remain anonymous.

How about:

Sources at the Spanish police.

That's perfect.

I didn't expect to find anything

good on the Costa del Sol.

- Good.

- Thank you.

It's a profession, but I wouldn't

do it the rest of my life.

Photography is an art.

It is more real than journalism.

Newspapers retell other people's

experiences. They create nothing.

- But art touches people.

- What nonsense.

So the news has never touched you?

Only seniors playing chess?

What are you doing here?

It was a bit weird just now.

I wanted to know how you were doing.

- What?

- My boss asked for the interview.

- What do you say?

- What?

Let's go eat?

I'm busy.

I have to figure out how the gangs

launder drug money.

Another time then?

And it didn't occur to you...

That to ask an economist who

engages in drug laws?

And who asks you out to dinner?

It's very simple.

You want a receipt of where

the money comes from...

- So you must sell something.

- Whatever?

In theory, yes. In Sweden, the hospitality

sector has a free hand.

But here it's even easier.

Property.

Houses are very expensive.

Sell a few houses, and you

can easily declare that money.

Some houses are bought...

And sold again. Back

and forth without

the residents moving.

Why isn't this sector

under the microscope?

Why are companies

registered in Gibraltar.

- They have no records.

- There's nothing to see.

- I didn't know you knew.

- You never asked.

Hi, Kalle.

Very good. What? Yes.

Guess, there's someone

you want to speak to.

- Hello, sweetheart.

- Mama? I miss you.

Me too. Is Ellen there?

- She's asleep.

- You would also need.

- Are you going to marry Daddy?

- No...

I won't marry Dad again.

Go to bed. I love you.

I love you too.

Kisses. Good day.

It was fun.

No, I can't do.

- Goodnight.

- Goodnight.

They will murder me.

Don't you understand?

Help me, damn it.

Soderstrom - drugs?

What was there in the safe?

We're trying to smoke out a Swedish cop,

but he's on his guard.

We are an hour

away from Morocco.

Most of Europe's

hashish is produced there.

- Who's the owner of APITS?

- It's registered in Gibraltar.

That's why companies are

registered there. No administration.

Hello, Rickard, I'm Annika Bengtzon

I'm looking for a Swedish lawyer...

Working in real estate in Gibraltar.

- Do you happen to know anyone?

- Yes, but she's now dead.

- Who?

- Veronica Soderstrom. I told you? Hello?

- She had an office in Gibraltar?

- Yes, that's right.

- OK, thank you.

- Anytime.

Hello, I came because of

Veronica Soderstrom.

- Niklas here.

- Veronica hadn't anything to do with drugs.

Her agency's in Gibraltar

called "A Place In The Sun".

A- P-I-T-S.

You have a visitor.

Veronica's office

was a front company.

- Her own house was for sale.

- I'll check into Veronica Soderstrom.

Good. Look for a link with

APITS carrier.

- A- P-I-T-S.

- I'll call you when I have something.

Wait. Someone called.

Polly Sandman?

Polly? She'd call me

when she heard from Suzette.

I received an e-mail.

I couldn't contact the police.

I'm sure it's her.

Suz is alive.

- And Fatima, who is that?

- Her second mother.

She has a riding school where Suz

often spends the summer. Look.

- Is that Fatima?

- Yes.

Where is that riding school?

Polly?

Asilah. Those riding

school is in Asilah.

- Is that close by?

- It's in Morocco.

Carita here.

Leave a message.

Carita, I found Suzette in Morocco

at a woman called Fatima's.

I don't know exactly

where, but I want

to go there tomorrow.

Call me back.

Of course. Thank you.

I seek it out. Yes.

- I found Suzette.

- Sit down.

- She is in Morocco. Polly said...

- Carita When you talked to?

- I just got a message was left.

- Jocke Martinez is dead.

He was found dead in his cell.

- How?

- A overdose. Morphine.

- How did he get that?

- I thought you might know.

- Me? How?

- Only you and Carita saw him.

- Five minutes only.

- What did Carita say?

Barely anything.

We spoke in Swedish.

Did you know she had

an appointment today with Jocke?

- Today?

- Carita was just with him.

She was on the list,

so she was admitted.

She arrived at 13.05. Jocke was brought

down to the visiting room.

We think she bribed the guards to

be allowed into his cell.

She left at 13.20. At 14.15

Jocke was discovered dead in his cell.

Carita must have

given him the morphine.

I'm going to Sweden?

Seriously?

Jocke died from an overdose

like the two Romanian burglars.

Do you think there's a connection?

We think that has to do Carita with

the murder of the family Soderstrom.

- Why?

- We think she was the third person.

- Who did she work for?

- Someone in the drug trade.

- Why would she do it?

- Blackmail, threats or money.

- Yes?

- It happens.

- I told her where Suzette is.

- Is she at the stables?

Yes. I can't do anything else.

Good day.

- I'll call the Moroccan authorities.

- It can take a long time.

- We're going now.

- I won't step on a boat to Morocco.

Do you know there are

consequences...

Do you suddenly think about

rules and regulations?

I got inside that prison.

Do you know how much

trouble that caused?

- You can write about anything here.
