---

Anneli disappeared?

- Yes, and I didn't see her.

- Are you sure?

- Yes. You're likely to remember her looks.

- Remember there was a rain shower?

Yes, we had to close the door.

Last week a lady slipped.

I see. Did you see someone running out

from the store wearing a raincoat?

Could it have been Anneli? In that case,

she got into a car down there.

- Do you know what kind of car?

- A red Opel Rekord.

Good car for the money.

Lars-Ove Larsson's car.

Good day.

- So it's you?

- Where are you going?

- It's none of your business. - You took

someone for a drive yesterday morning.

- Why didn't you say?

- Nobody asked.

- Did you meet Anneli?

- No.

You were in the tobacconist while

she was in the flower shop.

I wanted buy cigars for my father. Then

there was a cloud burst and I went away.

- Why lilies of the valley?

- Why not?

Why did you want her to approve

the bouquet?

Can you ever be sure of anything

with a woman?

One day she kisses you, and

next, she misses her wedding.

- As a consequence, she was murdered.

- By you.

I wanted to marry Anneli.

Lars-Ove Larsson was obsessed

with Anneli for over twenty years.

That doesn't seem to interest the police.

What are you doing here?

- What are you doing?

- Do you have an explanation.

- She hit me on the head.

- You threatened me.

Where did you see Anneli last Friday?

Witnesses saw her get into your car.

It was totally unplanned.

I had just shaved.

- Lars-Ove! Would you help me?

- Sure.

Can you drive me to Hammarby

to collect birch twigs for the church?

Do you remember when we were little

and shared secrets with each other?

- We promised not to tell other people.

- Yes.

- Can I still trust you?

- Obviously.

Then I want you to tell us about

that car trip. Never mind, no matter what.

I gathered some twigs for her.

When I got back to the car...

I found this.

"Don't look for me, I'll make it home

on my own. Remember what you swore. "

This is why I didn't say anything.

- Good evening.

- Have you learned anything?

Anneli disappeared in Hammarby Forest.

- She asked Lars-Ove to drive

her there. - Why?

- Why did she want to go there?

- No idea.

That can't be. She never said

anything to me about Hammarby Forest.

What do you think, Egon?

She confided in you.

I don't understand. Would Lars-Ove

have dropped her off and then gone home?

She sent him on an errand, and

then she disappeared.

Highly unlikely.

It doesn't sound like Anneli.

I can imagine one explanation.

Romantic meeting with a secret lover.

- King Lily of the valley in the grove.

- Sorry?

- Have you been out to the woods yet?

- I'll go there tomorrow morning.

It's a pure jungle out there.

Dark and lonely.

Not a living soul can live there.

- Eje, I'll go.

- No. I don't trust you.

- What have you done now?

- She forgot mother's wedding dress.

- I said I was driving over there.

- I'll get it.

I don't want to risk

it getting lost on the way.

A little fresh air, maybe?

- What did Anneli do here?

- I don't know.

- Is there anyone out here?

- It seems so.

He's been dead a while.

We can call in forensics.

So this is where she was.

Was it voluntarily or against

her will?

"King Lily of the valley is

white as snow. "

"Now the young king is mourning

Princess Lily-of-the-valley".

- Gustaf Frodingsgatan. - Joakim said

something about King Lily-of-the-valley.

Do you think he knew

she was here?

- What was his name?

- Mats Norrgrd.

Artist and photographer.

Mom has something by him.

You...

You didn't answer my letters.

I am a fool to try again"

"but I suffer and long so. "

"Now I'm finally free

I want to say I love you. "

"I'll be at the house on Friday.

If you respond with silence"

"I know I'll have to accept

that. Mats"

- Poor girl.

- It was mailed from Paris.

- Did he live there?

- Why didn't she answer his letters?

- She was engaged to Joakim.

- And so he sent a third one?

- Why did she bring it here?

- So no one at home would see it.

She was going to end it.

He prevented her from attending

the wedding.

When she ran away, he caught her

and after killed her.

- Then he took his own life in despair.

- Yes.

Artists...

Rain hood...

Norrgrd took it after he put

the bouquet in the corpse's hands.

We've found our man.

You saw the pictures.

Did she look like an unhappy woman?

- Maybe they had a relationship.

- And somebody came on them.

- Where have you been?

- Christer and I were at Hammarby Forest.

- How nice! Was it still there?

- Why did you go out to the woods?

You didn't want to.

I wanted to pick up the dress.

- So you went with Christer instead?

- Yes, Eje.

Why did you forget your wedding

dress in town?

I'm forgetful and careless.

Sorry.

Did you do anything in the woods?

- Does it taste good?

- Yes, it's steak.

- Sit down.

- Do you mind if I smoke?

- Yes, I sitting here eating.

- Thank you.

"King Lily of the valley in the grove. "

Why did you recite Frodingsgatan yesterday?

Is that a crime?

Did you know Anneli had

a lover, Mats Norrgrd?

Well, that was his name?

He was found hanging in a tree

in Hammarby Forest.

Under his dead body lilies of

the valley bloomed. Maybe you knew.

Eat, the food's getting cold.

I've lost my appetite.

- To think, Mats Norrgrd...

- Yes.

He moved to Paris five years ago

with his wife. She died of cancer.

I loved the painting, but I can't

have a killer's art on the wall.

- If it was him.

- How tragic to kill someone you love.

Little Anneli...

Oh, how empty and ugly it is.

I'll put up something of my own.

- Do you paint?

- I painted as a young woman.

- I dreamed of Paris.

- Why did you quit?

I got married. You'll understand

when you get married.

Your health, Dagmar.

the meatballs were fabulous.

Did you write this?

- What, "bride's murder solved"?

Journalists already knew.

I wanted to put a stop to the rumours.

- You should have waited for the autopsy.

- They're not even finished with Anneli!

- Everything points to Norrgrd.

- The case isn't solved.

Keep it simple! In Stockholm,

it's complicated, but not here on Skoga.

Some questions remain unanswered enough,

like in all murders and family tragedies.

Christer. Christer!

It will be excellent. At 16:00.

Thank you, Pastor Bostrom.

Thank you.

- The priest can meet us today.

- Good...

- Yes. if you want to marry me now.

- Why do you say that?

- What is it?

- There are too many why's.

Why did Anneli say yes to Joakim

if she loved Norrgrd?

He couldn't do anything.

He was married.

It doesn't matter.

They loved each other.

But why didn't she answer the letters?

Norrgrd murdered Anneli out of jealousy

and placed the bouquet on her corpse.

- Why did he take the rain hood to

the cottage? - He put the knife in it.

- Where's the knife?

- He threw it away.

He threw away the rain hood too.

- Why did Anneli run away from Sebastian?

- I don't know.

- Mom hung up one of hers.

- It's nice.
