Annika Bengtzon: Crime Reporter - Lifetime Page #2

---

- He wasn't murdered.

By his own wife.

She thought differently about him.

- Why does a woman kill her husband?

- Self-Defense.

- Exactly. Patrik, keep that in mind.

- You're not bitter, huh?

Bengtzon's Women's shelter's opened.

New identity and everything.

"Take a number".

That was a low blow, even for you.

Julia, I'm...

- How are you?

- That dirty witch has him.

- She's gone into hiding.

- Has someone taken Alexander?

Alexander, come out now.

It isn't fun anymore.

Who's taken Alexander?

It isn't fun anymore.

Officer, state the charge.

We want to accuse Julia Lindholm

of murder.

And ask upon conviction at least

two years imprisonment.

We also request Julia Lindholm

no be released on bail.

- And the defense?

- We oppose detention.

There isn't enough evidence to hold

Julia Lindholm any longer.

In addition my client claims another

woman was in the house that evening.

- What does the prosecutor say to that?

- There were no signs of forced entry.

- So that's highly unlikely.

- Your final word?

I repeat my client fully

denies the indictment.

But should the request

of the prosecution be granted...

would like my client to be

psychologically examined.

Arraignment in Room 8 is open to the public.

Then there's the matter of the

accused's son, Alexander Lindholm.

It's possible the disappearance

is connected to random events.

But if Alexander Lindholm isn't

located quickly...

I will include murder or the boy's

abduction in the indictment.

Calm. Calm down.

Julia Lindholm, sit down.

Calm.

- My baby...

- Can a nurse come?

Are you Nina Hoffmann?

Annika Bengtzon, Evening Press.

I'd like to talk to you.

Do you have time?

Not here.

I knew things weren't going well,

but not that it was so bad.

- What was it?

- She had postnatal depression.

It's like she never got over it.

Or actually it began

when she met David.

What was it?

He was manipulative, he controlled her.

He wanted to know everything she did.

He was very jealous.

Even of our friendship.

Julia and I could never meet

without him being there.

After a while she didn't dare do

anything without asking him.

- Did he hit her?

- No, but...

He locked her in the house.

Once for an entire week.

- He was constantly philandering.

- Did Julia know that?

You sense such things anyway?

That isn't always the case.

- Did you know?

- Everyone knew it. So she had a motive.

- Do you think Julia's guilty?

- I don't know.

But I do know David Lindholm was

an a**hole.

The truth must come out.

- Can I quote you?

- Absolutely not.

- Then I'll be screwed. Understand?

- I need something concrete.

Talk to Human Resources.

Good day.

Do you have the employee ID number?

Let's see.

No, that's wrong.

Let's try this.

- Hot today.

- Certainly. Have you found anything?

Here. What charge do you want to see?

- Are there more than one?

- Two.

- Then I'll happily like to see them both.

- Bear with me. I'm a bit clumsy here.

All those new features.

You have so many steps.

You'd think it would be easier.

Let's see.

- Berit Hamrin.

- Guess what I've got here.

Two indictments against David Lindholm

for assault, in the middle '90s.

There were two drug addicts who

withdrew the indictment...

Because they said they wanted to

outwit the police.

One of them is dead,

I got a message the other has left.

- Can you try to figure that out?

- Of course. Names?

Tony Berglund and Timo Koivisto.

- Koivisto is your target as you say.

- No problem.

Last week, Alexander told his teacher

they went to their summer cottage.

The keys are under the doormat.

And the water is turned off.

I thought...

I can't sit idle.

Should I go searching with some friends?

We know the area like the back of our hands.

That's a good idea.

I'll see you there.

Mercury, Venus...

- More planets?

- Earth...

You know that off by heart.

- What is it? Are you tired?

- She has nightmares.

What?

- I don't know.

- Don't you know?

Shall we rent a movie and get

some popcorn?

Seems that you don't like?

Maybe a pizza there?

With ham and extra cheese.

I want ham.

- Annika Bengtzon.

- Timo Koivisto, here.

- I want ham and...

- I'm glad you called back.

Can we meet somewhere?

Now?

- That doesn't work for me.

- It's now or never. I'm leaving town.

- How long are you going away for?

- At least two months. I don't know.

- You found it. I'm Timothy.

- Annika.

Hi. What are your names?

- Kalle.

- Ellen.

Welcome.

For a long time I wanted to go to Vietnam.

Since the '70s.

- Wasn't this training center?

- Yes, but now it's a treatment center.

I've done this for fifteen years.

It's my life's work.

Can children just watch TV?

No, but they can stay there a bit

reading or drawing.

I love talking about David Lindholm.

I owe everything to him.

Before I met him my life sucked.

I used and dealt drugs.

Then I began to sell adulterated drugs

so I could buy more for myself.

I kept some money back.

I thought I was smart.

And then I met David Lindholm

at central station.

- Do you know what a drum solo is?

- No.

I won't dwell on it now,

but I still see double.

And I'll carry this remembrance

for the rest of my life.

- Why do you like David?

- He gave me a warning.

I had to know

they knew what I was doing.

So David Lindholm worked with serious

criminals? Drug barons?

Yes, and his buddy Bure too.

Christer Bure.

I heard he's still in the police.

- And Tony Berglund was abused?

- Yes, indeed.

- Why did you press charges?

- Don't you understand that anyway?

And yet you're grateful to David Lindholm?

Before you meet God,

get acquainted with the devil.

Why did I get a warning and not Bojan?

- Easy.

- I'd be careful.

Don't touch me.

I'd be careful.

- I've killed men like you. Beware.

- Yes... Let's go.

My apologies.

What do you mean quiet?

Oh, dear. That's nothing.

Sweetheart...

It's the weather?

Come, let's go home.

With this weather, I'd like to stay

and search all night.

The boys are good too.

But I need more people tomorrow.

Foot patrols, dogs,

any help will be welcome tomorrow.

Thank you.

- An old junkie?

- He isn't a junkie anymore.

What a dreamer. So Lindholm and a senior

police chief worked for drug lords?

- You must have watertight proof.

- I understand.

This is waterproof as two pairs

of rubber boots.

We may publish the charges,

but they were withdrawn.

Officers are often accused of abuse.

But not indicted twice.

We can be sued for libel.

He constantly philandered, and

David abused his wife mentally.

If we knock David Lindholm off his

pedestal to divest, and the police chief...

That can surely happen.

But we're not there yet.

- Do you mind?

- No.

I have something on Lindholm,

but I can't just find out what.

Eve, Berit Hamrin here,

reporter for Evening Press.

I'd like to talk to you.

Please call me at 070-2997320.

It seems your officers were

engaged in other matters.

- Look at that.
