What time is it now?

- Honey, how late are we?

- Jesus...

There you go...

Head of the Homicide Division!

What have I done?

Nice to see you again, Christer.

- Good day, Helena.

- Good day, Sebastian. - Good day, Gunnel.

Damn bored with the wedding, huh?

Think about me.

Where do I find a clever

secretary the same as Anneli?

Come on.

- Who's that?

- Dina Richardson.

Huh? Last time I saw her she had

braids and pimples on her face.

- Mom...

- I didn't say anything.

- She went to domestic science school.

- Mom.

- Hello! Puck Ekstedt.

- Helena Wijk. Christer's mother.

- I've heard a lot about you.

- Good day, Helena.

- Has something happened?

- We had a flat tire.

- Puck means a real blowout.

- What else?

A puncture can mean so much

in Christer's world.

They're recently engaged...

- Is this okay here?

- It'll be perfect to get married here.

The bride's mother and stepfather.

Gretel and Egon.

Thank you for coming.

Unfortunately, my fiance didn't have

the good taste to do the same.

There won't be a wedding.

- What could have happened?

- When did you last see her?

- She went to the hairdresser at noon

yesterday. - We haven't seen her since.

She wanted sleep over at her friend's.

Her last night in freedom.

It's not so uncommon for a bride

or a groom not to show up.

Had she second thoughts at the last moment?

That really doesn't sound like Anneli.

- How was she yesterday?

- Yes. A little nervous and subdued.

Where can she be?

- What a scandal!

- What do you think happened?

I heard Gretel forced her daughter

to marry.

I saw Anneli yesterday running away

from Sebastian Pettersson's house.

Christer wants to stay behind.

Should we go home for a bit?

So well, here's Dina.

She probably knows where Anneli is.

You aren't crazy. Did you think

I was lying yesterday.

I ran into Anneli at 15:00 yesterday.

She wanted to look at her bridal bouquet.

Joakim ordered it.

- Joakim wants me to approve it.

- Why?

What is it?

We dreamed of a fantastic wedding.

Yes. And now your dream comes true.

You should be happy.

- Yes. Wait here.

- Why?

I promised to look at the bouquet

alone.

It was awful. Well, I still

can't tolerate Fanny Falkman.

- Yes?

- Where's Anneli?

Anneli? She's not here.

- But she just came in here.

- She hasn't been here at all.

- She lied, of course.

- The question is why?

Fanny might keep carnivorous plants.

You'd think this doesn't bother

you in the least.

You're Anneli's friend. You know

where she is.

Yes, no one knows anyway.

- Bad luck, my sister's kids have rubella.

- I didn't dare go there.

You have to be careful as an adult.

Assarsson! Hello.

- Hi. How nice, we'll stay here.

- Obviously.

If Joakim Kruse hadn't rented the

room upstairs you'd be staying there.

He bought an property

for himself and Anneli to renovate.

- Do you know Anneli well?

- She's my goddaughter.

I thought I knew her well.

Welcome.

Your room is a little further

away, Puck. I can show you.

- What if she knew we were living together.

- In a den of iniquity.

- The wedding dinner's off, in any case.

- What?

People traveled here and the food

was ordered, so...

- Need help to change the shirt?

- No... Why?

Yesterday Anneli rushed out of Sebastian

Petterson's house, completely upset.

- It's the second time I heard that.

- That's Skoga, for you.

- You all know everything.

- And then some.

Maybe she was sorry to leave her

job at Sebastian Pettersson's.

- Why did she do that?

- She was supposed to marry.

Can I get one?

Who's speaking to Dina Richardson?

- Could it be Lars-Ove Larsson?

- Well...

- Are they a couple?

- No idea.

- You may well ask.

- Maybe I'll do that.

- What are you thinking about?

- What do you think?

- Anneli, of course.

- Me too.

- I'm going home.

- I'm going with you.

No.

- I can't be left alone.

- To hell with it! Do what you want.

Lars-Ove!

Come, sit with us.

- Dina Richardson.

- Puck Ekstedt.

- Soon to be Bure.

- Yeah. What fun.

As teens Anneli and I dreamed

about marrying Christer and Eje.

- Oh. We didn't even notice you.

- Completely unbelievable.

Who was going to have whom?

- I wanted to have Eje, of course.

- Thanks!

See there, yes.

- Cheers.

- Cheers.

It must be hard to be

Anneli's friend now.

Yes. I feel completely confused.

- Did she seem happy before the wedding?

- Yes, I thought so.

- Is there another man?

- Don't believe so. She kept it secret.

- She accepted him for his money?

- No, absolutely not.

Anneli doesn't care about money. She's

a little better off than us mere mortals.

There isn't anything to say

she disappeared voluntarily.

- So will there be a child next year?

- Yes, hopefully.

I have to finish my PhD first.

PhD? What's that?

I want to answer questions no one else has

answered. I don't want to do anything else.

It sounds like fun.

- The same reason I joined the police.

- I like cops.

- What do you think? Maybe we

should go home. - Good night.

- I lied to you.

- Yeah.

Anneli wanted to have Eje.

Why haven't you married?

I never found the right man,

I guess.

And you?

The sad truth is nobody wants me.

I can't imagine that.

- Did you sleep well?

- Yes.

I heard the front door an hour ago.

I slept like a log.

- Did you know anything more about Anneli?

- No.

Probably she just changed her mind.

- Why then did she accept the marriage

proposal? - It's not that simple.

Maybe she realized she wasn't ready

for "till death do us part"?

Strange there was so little blood.

The knife must have been there

a long time before it was pulled out.

- Do we know it was a knife?

- Probably.

- Could she have been murdered Friday?

- No, four hours at the most.

If it happened here, logically someone

should've seen or heard something.

There are no traces or tire tracks.

We have to find the knife.

I'll make sure the guys

look behind every blade of grass.

Did you hear anything during the night?

Gretel was fast asleep,

but I'm wake up very easily.

If it... If it happened

near... If it happened near...

- Then I would've absolutely woken up.

- And you? Did you hear anything?

- I got up at 07:00. I just got here.

- Elvira can take the day off.

No, no. There's plenty to do.

Anneli was alive early this morning.

Maybe she came to see you.

So you think I stabbed her

at the Homicide chief's house?

Now you'll excuse me, Joakim.

But why were you already wearing a white tie

before the police told you what happened?

Did you know this morning, she was dead?

I thought a white tie was fitting for

someone just abandoned by his fiance.

- Anything else?

- Not right now.

Good so.

I didn't know you could get

so attached to someone who isn't...

Even your own child.

Do you recognize this?

Yes. The key to the office was

attached there.

- Which office?

- Sebastian Pettersson's.

What's this about?

We discovered Anneli, murdered.

- Can you come with me.

- Unfortunately no.

- How do you sleep at night?
