It's not a strange question to ask.

Is it true that Marianne quit

her job here afterthe divorce?

Why, if everything

was so "uncomplicated"?

- She didn't want you around?

- That wasn't it. It...

Was it just a coincidence that she

quit at the time of your divorce?

Go on, tell me. What'sthe deal?

I had an affair

with one ofthe nurses here.

With someone who works here?

Well, what do you know...

"Had", you say?

Have. We're living together.

And Marianne and your new girlfriend

don't get along?

- Do you find that strange?

- No, not at all... How bad was it?

They weren't crazy about each other.

But it's not like...

It's not like

they would kill each other?

No, absolutely not!

We don't have to bring up

the lunches, do we?

We'll see.

- Hello. I'm Detective Jonny Blom.

- Susanne.

- Is this about Marianne?

- This is Niklas, my partner.

Right...

- I'd like to interview you.

- How exciting.

- Hi... Are you waiting for someone?

- Ataxicab.

I don't drive when I'm sleep-deprived.

Would you like a ride?

You see, I was on my way

to interview yourwife anyway.

Are you checking my alibi?

Am I such a prime suspect?

We'll be checking up

on everyone who wasthere.

- Isthe hospital named after you?

- No, my dad.

He would be spinning

in his grave ifhe knew...

- About the murder?

- That wouldn't have bothered him.

I meant the fact

that his life's work is so run down.

My fatherwas an old-fashioned man.

My total opposite.

- So, what are you like?

- Modern. Emotional. Passionate.

- Haven't you noticed?

- No.

Hi...

- This is Carina, my wife.

- Hello. I'm Irene Huss.

Irene's investigating

the murder ofMarianne Svrd,

and she was kind enough

to give me a lift home.

Irene believes that I'm the killer.

Could you give me an alibi?

Your husband saysthat you called

him around two in the morning.

- Isthat correct?

- Certainly.

- What number did you call?

- The one I usually call.

His flat at the hospital.

Did it take long before he answered?

Well, it rang two orthree times.

Why do you ask?

We're trying to establish a time-line

forthe night ofthe murder.

But may I ask why you called him

in the middle ofthe night?

I've had a hard time sleeping lately.

There's a lot on my mind. We...

- Well, we're going to be parents.

- Oh, really?

Our daughter is a year old, and she's

at an orphanage in St. Petersburg.

- We're bringing her home next week.

- Congratulations.

Then I can see why

you have a hard time sleeping.

- That'll be all fornow. Thank you.

- Bye.

- So, do I have a good alibi?

- Certainly. lll be in touch.

Would it be possible to take you

to dinner some evening?

But maybe you don't consort

with people you're investigating...

- No, I don't.

- Sorry. Thanks forthe lift.

You're welcome.

- Bye, sweetie. See you tonight.

- I have practice tonight.

Well, take care.

- You'd better get moving, sweetie.

- I'm way too tired.

- Maybe you should go to bed earlier.

- I couldn't sleep.

Oh... Did Dad wake you?

Hey, what'sthe matter?

Are you and Dad staying together

just for our sake?

What?

Then don't. I don't want that.

Oh, sweetheart...

Dad works a lot right now,

and our hours are out of sync...

Mum, he's never at home.

That doesn't mean

he doesn't want to be, you know.

Do you believe that yourself?

A drugged old lady saw a ghost...

What a lead!

Do we have anything else to go on?

Here's material about everyone

who everworked at the hospital.

You're supposed to focus

on what she actually saw.

- What did you find out, Jonny?

- This case is a pain...

- Did you find the ex-husband?

- Yes.

And I think

he suspects his new partner...

- Who happensto be a guy.

- Oh, poor Jonny.

- Doesthis boyfriend have a record?

- I'll check it out.

- Then I'll go and talk to the guy.

- Forensics sent this over.

- It was in the victim's pocket.

- Thank you.

- What did you think ofMarianne?

- She was a cry-baby.

She couldn't face the fact

thatAndreas had dumped her.

- She kept pestering him...

- Quit swishing around.

Soy milk? And I've baked

the most delightful cookies...

So itstrue, then?

That all cops are raging homophobics?

- I ask the questions around here.

- Sure. Shoot.

- How did she pesterAndreas?

- She called. E-mailed. Whined...

- Did you feel threatened?

- By the little lady?

- By Andreas's childhood sweetheart.

- We've all been young and stupid.

They had lunch together several times

a month, were you aware ofthat?

No, you weren't.

Why would Andreas lie

about something like that?

- I guess he was ashamed.

- So he wasn't banging her?

- He gets what he needs from me.

- So the lying doesn't bother you?

Andreas and I don't feel

the need to control each other.

- You have an "open relationship".

- We gays screw around like rabbits.

All we everthink about is sex,

makeup and clothes.

- I don't like yourtone.

- I don't like yours, either.

So beat me up. Isn't that what cops do

when they don't like what they hear?

- And what do I want to hear?

- That I killed her in a jealous fit.

- Did you?

- No. Because I wasn't jealous.

I couldn't stand her.

She was whiney little bourgeois c*nt.

And whoever killed did the world

a favour. But it wasn't me.

Andreas was in Copenhagen

that night. Where were you?

At the Rainbow Room.

- Isthat some bloody...

- ... gay club? Yes.

Were you there all night?

Where were you?

- You don't want to know, sweetie.

- Hey, you'd betterwatch your mouth!

This phone

doesn't belong to Marianne.

- Then who does it belong to?

- Another nurse. Linda Svensson.

- Marianne must have found it.

- Linda wasn't on duty that weekend.

- She had five days off.

- Maybe she mislaid it before that.

Who can make it without

theirphone forfive whole days?

You're right. I'll call her.

Look, the last call was made

an hour before the murder.

"Love and kisses"...

Atext message to Sverker.

That must be Lwander, right?

Well, either Linda

was at the hospital an hour

before Marianne was killed,

or Marianne called Sverker.

- There are lots calls to Sverker.

- He is herboss, after all.

True, but there are a lot of calls.

Maybe they were having an affair.

Its a classic scenario, after all...

I'll go see ifLinda's at work today.

You can check out Linda's flat.

- I'm here to see Linda Svensson.

- I'll go talk to Siv again.

Hi.

- Can I help you?

- I'm looking for Linda Svensson.

She was supposed

to go on duty two hours ago.

- Maybe she overslept.

- Is that something she usually does?

- She'stwo hours late already...

- Siv is in charge of scheduling.

Did Linda call you

the night Marianne was murdered?

That's... possible.

- In the middle ofthe night?

- Oh, now I remember.

She remembered

something about a patient.

Something important

that she had forgotten to report.

And that's right, it was

the night Marianne was murdered.

- Was Linda here that night?

- No, she was off duty.

Stop it, Sverker. Tell herthe truth.

Pardon me, but I couldn't help
