Insomnia Page #2

he runs straight towards you.

What?

After he shot Vik...

Did the perpetrator run

straight towards you?

l suppose he didn't see me.

lt was foggy.

And then?

When he saw me,

he turned abruptly and ran back.

l ran after him

down towards the sea.

Then he turned again.

Shot at me - missed -

and ran further.

That's when l spotted Erik

and stopped to... help him.

Describe the man you saw.

lt's that f***ing map's fault!

Every stone is marked on it,

but not the bunker

below the shed.

Yes, most unfortunate.

lf l'd known about that tunnel,

l'd had a man down there.

We should always be armed,

like you do in Sweden.

-When will the autopsy take place?

-Tomorrow.

The bullet's in his spine.

The bullet is no good

without the weapon.

Don't worry.

One of your detectives

will handle the Vik case.

We need a special permit

to be armed,

and there was no reason

in this case -

as we couldn't imagine...

We heard you were the first

to arrive at the crime scene.

What did you see?

lt was very foggy.

l was the first person

to reach the beach,

and found Vik lying there.

There was nothing l could do.

How does it feel to lose

a colleague like that?

Damn sad.

-Does it hurt?

-What?

You've been on the TV all night.

Did you work together

for a long time?

Just over a year.

-Weird.

-What?

He was standing there yesterday.

l wish l'd been nicer to him.

Don't worry. You could say

anything to him. He was...

Do you have masking tape?

-Masking tape?

-Masking tape.

-How does it feel?

-Well...

Like a horse kicked you?

l thought you came

to turn out the light.

Thanks.

-lt was irresponsible.

-What?

To send you after him.

lt was irresponsible.

The guy was armed.

How could we know?

Madman. Waving his arms

around before he shot.

-Did you see him shoot Vik?

-No, l didn't see anything.

lt can't be easy.

He was a nice chap.

Have they removed the bullet?

lt went straight through.

Just a flesh wound.

Good. We need you.

He knew it might be a trap.

That's why he was armed.

He's cold, calculating

and thinks

he's more intelligent

than the police.

His arrogance will lead him

to make a mistake.

Tanja's bag contains something

that may convict the killer,

or at least the killer thinks so.

We have to check its contents

more thoroughly.

We have to confront Tanja's

classmates with its contents

and knock on all doors

between the house of the party

and the crime scene.

Tom... your preliminary

conclusion.

Tanja Lorentzen died

of a cerebral hemorrhage.

We assume that she didn't

die instantly.

No sexual assaults.

No sperm.

Nothing.

He worked with Erik

for a long time.

l'll be handling the Vik case.

Good.

-We'll just have to do our best.

-Of course.

We shall remember Erik Vik

as a sociable

and proud policeman

with one minute's silence.

Something wrong?

He was lying on his stomach.

Not on his back.

-Was this where you found Vik?

-Yes.

Okay. Mark the spot

and take a photo.

We found this next to

where Zakariassen was.

Good. Make sure Tom

runs a match with the bullet.

Reminds me of a hotel

where we stay

when we visit my in-laws...

Then one morning we woke up,

and there's a couple...

-Do you have something to drink?

-Something strong?

Cognac?

Watch the reception desk.

-Do you like whiskey?

-Yes, sure.

-Cheers!

-l'm not allowed to do this.

Talk to strange men

in the middle of the night?

No.

We have to drink in silence...

How about you?

Don't you ever ask

anybody for permission?

Not to drink with you.

Don't you have a family?

No.

That's a pity...

lt's nice to be alone too.

Do you have any sisters

or brothers?

No...

l once had a brother,

but he died when l was 11.

l don't know anybody

who has a dead brother.

lt's not that strange.

l thought it was embarrassing.

When l came to school,

the others didn't know anything.

l didn't say anything.

But they must have

asked for him?

Yes, but l invented stories

about where he was

and what had happened to him.

As time went by the stories

got more and more unlikely...

l'd better go upstairs.

Your colleague was here

looking for you.

-Who?

-He didn't introduce himself.

-What did he look like?

-A bit older than you.

A bit rough...

l never remember how people look.

Just the impression they make.

-What impression did he make?

-A bit nervous.

Smiled all the time.

Did he leave a message?

He'd seen something.

He wanted to talk to you...

-ls it important?

-No, l don't think so.

Aren't you going to

finish your whiskey?

Another time.

Froya?

-You're Froya Selmer.

-You're the cop.

l have to talk to you.

Can you come over here?

You might've looked better

in a uniform.

-You went to that party.

-l was wasted.

Too wasted to remember

what happened?

Nothing happened.

That's why l got wasted.

-Was Tanja just as ''loaded''?

-''Loaded''?

Drunk.

Nobody understood

anything you said.

Pardon?

-ln the classroom.

-But you understood?

lt's not the first time

l've met a Swede.

Was it Tanja's boyfriend

you spoke to?

Why did you ask

when you knew the answer?

-Will you come for a ride?

-A ride with you?

Don't you want to?

-May l smoke?

-No.

Show me something cool!

''Something cool''?

Something cool.

l don't know what's

cool any more.

Let me out!

Here you go...

Maybe you'd like me

to accompany you?

-l think you know.

-Know what?

Where Tanja got

all her nice clothes.

How should l know?

Did she have a better friend

than you?

Here, you see...

This is where they found her...

in a garbage bag.

Tanja had a relationship with

an older man. Older than me.

He paid for

her expensive clothes.

You told Eilert about him.

He would've found out anyway.

But you told him...

at that party.

She didn't have to go...

lt was her own fault.

What's his name?

The man she was with?

l never spoke to him.

She was really weird about it.

Like it was something special...

having an affair with him.

-Who?

-An old pig.

Where did they meet?

She wrote him a letter.

She had read one of his books.

Was completely hooked.

What's his name?

The author.

Jon Holt.

That wasn't hard- was it?

l'll take you home now.

Yes... Engstrom.

l don't want any more visits.

Jon Holt... We have to meet.

No, not the two of us together.

l suppose you understand?

Why not?

Keep the police away from me,

and you'll sleep much better.

There are two pages

missing from the book.

-They've been torn out.

-What was written on those pages?

l went to Tanja's apartment

to check.

Did you find the pages?

l found another copy

of the same book.

-Must be a damn good book then?

-What was written on the pages?

A description of two young people

infatuated with one another.

So Tanja buys a new book because

two pages are missing.

No. The other book was signed

''To Tanja''

with Holt's own signature.

Well done, Arne.

We'll have to ask the author

if he remembers her.

Engstrom...

l need a word.

Yes, of course.

-Did Vik have any problems?
