to love someone?

Yes, I do. Do you?

Talk to me about anything,

but not about her.

All right.

Egon and Sebastian run a

lumber business together.

Joakim went into debt

with a large sum of money.

But now he's pulled through again.

I ferreted it out. They bought and sold

a forest that doesn't exist.

- A really ugly business.

- Does Puck own a business?

- What kind of a question is that?

- You're my best friend.

And you're mine.

Do you want another beer?

Two.

All right. - Can I have four beers?

Eje.

- He went in advance.

- Did he?

Yes.

Let him be little.

I've never seen him so angry

yesterday.

He was probably more sad than

angry. I would have been.

How do you know you're making

the right choice?

Anneli didn't make the right choice.

She did at the last moment.

Eje isn't here.

I'm sorry.

Excuse me, may I ask about your business

with Sebastian Pettersson?

- His finances are certainly dodgey.

- I don't think so.

We're in the same business, but my

income is small potatoes in comparison.

If you'll excuse me...

Good day. Looking for Leo Berggren.

Christer Wijk, then?

It's very important.

- Now what?

- There's coffee at Egon and Gretel's.

Welcome.

- I can't find Elvira.

- But where is she?

- She'll probably turn up soon.

- Don't worry, Gretel.

- Puck and I can serve for a while.

- You guys are angels.

- Welcome.

- I'm sorry.

- Have you seen Elvira Hansson?

- They don't know where she is.

Thank you.

She's looking for you and me.

It was important.

- When did she call?

- During the funeral.

I got the analysis of the towel

from the laundry.

It contained blood.

Helena!

I don't understand why Elvira

put on this table cloth.

- It's not even ironed.

- No one will notice it.

It looks terrible.

I'll straighten out some questions

around Anneli's death.

But, Christer! this is Anneli's

commemoration.

Let's remember her. - Anneli was on

the way to give you the keys.

Tell what you and Egon were talking about,

or I'll report you for shady transactions.

Everything will come out.

If it weren't for Anneli,

Joakim would never have invested.

And then it would have gone

to hell for us.

About the forest!

It went like that anyway.

She met her old lover who

she was just about to forget.

But this spring, a letter came from

the guy in question.

Fortunately, I collected

the mail that day.

Then another letter came.

I intercepted it.

If Anneli read the letter, she'd

never say yes to Joakim Kruse.

She was going to marry for me.

To save me.

Did you know she said yes

to save her stepfather's finances?

No.

Did you know Mats Norrgrd?

I knew she had an unfortunate love

affair, but she didn't talk about it.

She associated him with lilies

of the valley.

So the bridal bouquet was

a sort of test?

You didn't know she received

a letter from Mats Norrgrd.

No. But I knew it when I saw

lilies of the valley in her bag.

You saw her on Saturday morning

when you were out walking.

She lay there.

She lay there so still and beautiful...

And peaceful.

And then you put the flowers

in her hands.

Yes, it was my way of saying

goodbye.

What was Anneli doing the

last time you saw her?

Did you discover someone betrayed you?

Not anyone, but someone you cared for?

When I found out, everything

just snapped.

Besides Joakim. there was also Dina,

Egon and Gretel.

Anneli went home to make up

with all of you.

- Could I...?

- She confronted you.

You didn't plan to kill her though.

Are you crazy?

Do you understand what you're saying?

You had to remove the body

before Gretel woke up.

You were afraid someone would see you,

so you left the corpse on the ground

and got a clean knife from

the laundry.

Sure. Then I went out into the woods

and hung Norrgrd up in a tree.

Yes. You saw the chance of

blaming him.

You stole Lars-Ove's car keys and Fanny's

clothesline and went to Hammarby Forest.

- Then it was Elvira's turn.

- What? Elvira?

She didn't get hold of us

before she bumped into you, Egon.

- I need to talk to the gentleman.

- What happened?

Elvira!

- Elvira!

- I'm looking right at her.

Going to the laundry, looking

for another table cloth.

The blood stains came from your clothes when

you hastily hid them in the linen closet.

- You should just as well confess.

- It would probably suit you just fine.

But you have no proof

for your falsehoods.

How could I have killed Anneli?

I loved Anneli.

But not like a father?

That's why you took the letters.

It hadn't anything to do with business.

Suddenly, she was just there...

Why did you take my letter?

- Where were you?

- I told him.

- You comforted me. I trusted you.

- I protected you.

I was the one who protected you.

I was willing to marry a man

I didn't love to save you!

Because you love me,

just like I love you.

You disgust me! I won't come

back as long as you live here...

What are you doing? Get off me!

Calm down!

No!

I'm so sorry, Eje.

But I can't marry you.

I can't give up my dreams

and my studies.

I want to finish my PhD, and I hate

washing, cooking and ironing.

I don't even know if I want children.

I love you...

But I don't want to live as a housewife.

- Do you love me?

- Of course!

I just can't give up

so many important things.

But then we do something differently.

We don't need to be like everyone else.

We'll do it our way. If you want

a PhD, then you should do it.

But you want to have children?

And who will take care of the household?

I want to marry you

because I love you.

Everything else, we'll solve.

We'll solve it together.

Moreover, do you think I'd

let you loose in our kitchen?

I'd rather go out to eat every night.

How's it going?

It's fine.

- Have you got... puncture?

- Yeah, right. Puncture.

Yes, Christer.

Bye.
