- Lie down, Gunnel. I'll take care of it.

- What are you implying?

- Nothing.

- Did you see or hear anything?

- No, we slept like two pious lambs.

- We found this in Anneli's bag.

- What is it?

A key ring to the office. Was she here

last Friday to drop off the keys?

- No, I don't think so.

- What was she doing here on Friday at all?

- I wasn't home.

- She was seen running away crying.

Really? And Skoga holds the world

record for gossip.

I have to take care of my wife.

Hello!

- Can we go in?

- Yes.

- Do you have anyone who can stay

with you? - I'll be fine.

I don't regret what happened

yesterday, but...

As things stand now...

I'm handling a murder investigation

and you're part of it.

I see. Can you go now?

I'd like to be alone.

Is it true what you said about Anneli

at Fanny Falk's flower shop?

- She went in and disappeared?

- Yes.

Yeah. Right.

Miss Falkman, I'm Christer Wijk.

Lars-Ove, that's just me.

Oh!

Thank you, darling. How's it

going in there?

Helena arranged food for them.

How kind of you to help.

- What do we do now?

- I'll get the dress so you can try it on.

Can we plan the wedding

after what's happened?

Nothing will get any better by

us waiting.

If we don't meet the priest and arrange

the menu now, when are we going to do it?

You're right.

Wait, you dropped something.

- Thank you.

- Come, we'll help each other.

- Have you been part of the family, long?

- Late last Christmas.

So you know them well.

Are they nice to you?

- Yes. But Mrs. Strom gets upset easily.

- About Anneli too?

- What is it?

- I know I shut the door.

I haven't washed for several days.

Mrs. Strom will be so angry,

but I always turn off the taps.

Someone else must have been here.

I washed it last time.

I hung it there to dry.

I think you should wait to wash

it. I'll call the police.

- I think it's Joakim Kruse.

- Why?

He's so weird.

He was in the tobacconist while

Anneli was at the flower shop.

- Why is that suspicious?

- The shops are located next door.

- It's closed on Sundays.

- Lucky you were here, then.

I don't know anything about Anneli

Hassel's death.

- Who says she's dead?

- The whole town's talking about it.

According to Dina Richardson, Anneli came in

here and then disappeared without a trace.

Either the girl has a wild imagination

or she's lying.

Anneli was supposed to come by to

approve the bouquet, but she never came.

Who knew there were

lilies of the valley in the bouquet?

Director Kruse was careful to

keep it a secret. Just him and me..

And Dina, she saw the bouquet

when she came in.

- Anneli came in there at 14:45. - I was

fixing carnations at the storeroom then.

Please, have a look, Inspector.

- Is that the door to the backyard?

- Yeah, so I ought to have seen her?

- Where did you come from?

- The tobacconist.

Joakim bought cigars there

just before 15:
00 on Friday.

The tobacconist went out, so Joakim was

alone when Anneli disappeared.

And there...

- Sits Aunt Eriksson.

- She watches the backyard like an eagle.

- Isn't that sheriff Wijk's boy?

- Good day.

Look, and the little wife

he certainly acquired.

- Puck. Are you comfortable out here?

- Yes.

I sit here every day

when the temperature allows it.

- Last Friday too?

- Yes. It's nice to people watch.

Was Anneli Hassel here on Friday?

No. I didn't see her, unfortunately.

Poor child.

Did anyone else

came out of Falk's backdoor?

Excuse me, aunt. It may be hard

for you to see so far?

I see very well, I do!

Oh yes...

He opened out the door so gently

and slipped away like a scared dog.

He didn't even say "hello".

But what good did it do? I'd recognize

him from both front and back.

Who?

- Can we talk down at the station?

- Why? I don't have time.

I want to talk about your visit

to Falk's flower shop.

Do you want to talk here?

Ouch!

I've never been so harassed.

I only ask, by what right?

Yes, that is...

What am I doing here anyway?

Lying in a murder investigation

is very serious.

- How's Sebastian?

- He's...

Fighting for his life.

What is it Sebastian?

Please, tell me what happened.

What was Sebastian doing at the

flower shop Friday afternoon?

Speak the truth, or I'll question

both of you and report it.

No!

Was Sebastian in the flower shop

when Anneli got there?

Yes.

- Is this yours?

- A fine deal has finally been arranged.

- What if someone sees?

- Well, what if someone sees.

- My big, bad boy.

- My little flower girl.

Florist.

You know very well what a

scandal it would be if it came out.

I just thought we'd be back in

a few seconds.

However it was, so maybe it was

... ten minutes.

No...

Anneli ran out into the backyard.

When Dina came, I just wanted

get her out as quickly as possible

so Sebastian could get out.

So you lied?

Yes.

Sebastian just thought he had

a heart attack but he's okay now.

- Does my wife have to know about this?

- It's not my place to tell her.

But we live in Skoga.

I wasn't entirely truthful this morning.

I actually went out to gather twigs

for Fanny last night.

I got home at 03:30.

- Did you see Anneli?

- No.

But I saw a white bag on the shoreline.

- I got curious and looked into it.

- Yes?

On top, wrapped in a rain hood...

Lay a bouquet of lilies of the valley.

So someone placed flowers in Anneli's

hands when she was already dead?

- Was there a rain hood in the bag?

- No, just the raincoat.

Where has it gone?

The towel was sent for analysis.

Where did Anneli go after the

flower shop?

We knocked on doors.

No one saw her.

Someone must have seen her.

You look absolutely stunning.

It just needs to be taken in a little.

And so if we cut it above the knees,

what do you think about that?

- Mm...

- It'll be neat.

- Hello? Where are you?

- Sorry, I was thinking about Anneli. Sorry.

I know.

- You look absolutely stunning.

- Thank you.

- Is someone in your room?

- No.

- That's Joakim's door.

- Are you sure?

- Then it wasn't you.

- What?

Who came home at 04:30

on Saturday morning.

Kruse! Wait!

Why did Aunt Eriksson see Sebastian

but not Anneli? Isn't that strange?

I don't know. Have we decided if

you'll wear mother's wedding dress?

I'll go to seamstress at once.

Help me with it.

- Later Eje. Help me now.

- Please...

- But I see Wijk's little wife.

- I'm not actually...

I hope he's nice to you.

My...

He was very charming.

Before we married.

When he had me on the hook

he changed.

No. But you didn't come here to

talk about that.

I wanted to ask you something.

Was it before or after the rain,

you saw Sebastian Pettersson?

It was after.

He didn't even lift his hat.

But you must have got wet

in the rain?

No, I went in

when it started raining.

But then the sky was blue and fine

so I went out again.

maybe Anneli ran past

when you were inside?

Yeah, but...

But there was a downpour.

She'd have been soaked.

Thanks, Aunt Eriksson.

Listen, my dear. You forgot...

Did you work last Friday when
