- What are you up to?

Nothing.

Freja, no matter what...

- I cherish our time together.

- Me too.

David doesn't know I took the pad.

I want to start over in Mexico.

- What are you talking about?

- Buy my ticket, and you get the pad.

- Am I going to Mexico? Yes or no?

- What are you talking about?

- Want me to go to the police?

- What are you doing with that thing?

No.

Let's keep them out of it.

Come here.

I want to show you something.

Listen.

And look at the house.

- How much do you want?

- 20,000.

If he agrees, it's to stop her

from going to the police.

And you don't say a word to Freja

nor to the police?

You've got some nerve.

Will you give me the money?

Okay.

I'll give you the money.

There's our proof!

Let's go.

We're going to the police.

Let's go!

What's going on?

Someone's coming.

- Finn.

- Are you there?

Veronika, run!

They've got a gun.

But...

Oh no...

Freja, call the police.

Check down there.

- Shout, if you see her.

- Veronika!

I've got your purse.

Finn!

- No! Let me go!

- Take it easy.

Roar! Let her go.

- Are you in on this too?

- Don't touch me.

Put that down!

- Throw down that iron bar.

- But it's not me.

Throw it down!

On the ground, now.

On the ground!

- They were chasing us.

- That's not true.

We were going hunting and just

wanted to return her purse.

Don't listen to him.

He hasn't done anything.

- Send an ambulance immediately.

- What are you doing?

It's just a phone.

We've got his confession.

It's true.

Listen. I can prove Roar committed

the murder at the cliffs.

- I've got something to show you.

- What are you talking about?

Listen.

- We all know she's out to get you.

- Hey, what is this?

- Finn.

- Is that hers?

Finn?

How did he get into the recording?

- Sh*t. She dropped her purse.

- And so what?

I have to return it,

or she'll accuse me of stealing too.

- I must have dropped my purse.

- Everyone knows you didn't do it.

- Why did you say yes?

- What if the police buys her proof?

- So Roar wasn't guilty?

- Yes.

- But they said...

- He was putting on an act.

- I had to buy me some time.

- She can't prove anything.

- You didn't do it.

- Help me find her.

As I was trying to say,

we were going hunting -

- and just wanted to...

return this to the lady.

- David, get real.

- You don't know how cunning he is.

If you don't let me

out of this jail -

- that psycho will become

the father of my child as well.

David, I've seen those pictures.

This isn't a jail.

Roar is just an ordinary guy.

And Freja chose him herself.

- You don't understand.

- I do. That's the way it is.

- I'm just trying to help you.

- Yes.

Face it.

You were wrong.

If you tell them this

at the evaluation meeting on Friday...

Zyprexin.

For psychosis and schizophrenia.

This is what they give the patients

they've given up on.

That's what they give Veronika.

You're too good to spend

the rest of your life here.

You know what you have to do,

if you want to get out of here.

It may feel awkward -

- but it will be a relief

to get it off your chest.

Yes.

- Are you ready, David?

- Yes.

- Hi. Roar.

- Clara.

Hello.

- Coffee?

- Yes, please.

- No, I'd rather have some water.

- Sure.

Thank you.

Welcome.

I'm glad you came.

I know that David has got

something important to say to you.

- Am I right?

- Yes.

Roar.

I accused you of something -

- that wasn't true.

I know that now.

And...

I want to apologize for that.

Freja, I want to apologize to you too.

Do you remember -

- when we stood on the cliffs?

I felt like the luckiest man alive

when you agreed to marry me.

I know I was the one

who came between us.

I want you to know

I wish you all the best.

I wish both of you all the best.

- We have all we need now.

- Thank you for coming.

- You did very well, David.

- Thank you.

I'll just go and say goodbye.

I'm sorry, but I forgot...

See you, David.

By the way...

I'm sorry it had to end like this.

I wish you all the best too.

I hope you get well

and are discharged from here soon.

Rememberthat time heals all woes.

- What did you say?

- Time heals all woes.

No, Roar.

Time heals all wounds.

That same mistake was

in Daniel's suicide note.

No!

Wardens, help!

Help!

Help!

Wardens, help!

- He attacked me.

- He's lying!

Calm down!

Get him!

PSYCHIATRIC WARD

Roar just revealed himself.

He said "time heals all woes".

- What?

- Freja's still here.

I have to get hold of her.

Maybe he said it before.

When do you use that expression?

"Time heals all wounds."

When you think

you'll never get over something.

And when do you think that?

Yes. Freja...

It's too soon after David.

The suicide note.

Call the police and get Clara outside

in two minutes. Trust me.

Hey!

What am I gonna tell them?

We're not crazy.

Okay?

Stop! Freja, I need to talk to you.

That night...

- Did you just hit Roar?

- No. Listen to me.

- That night you got the water back...

- Don't listen.

What did he whisper to you?

Listen to me.

Let go of me!

Give me just one minute.

- Listen to me. Let go.

- You promised to help him.

Okay, David.

What do you want to say?

- That night the water came back...

- This is absurd.

He wanted to kiss you, but you said

no, and he whispered something.

What did he say?

Roar just said

that time heals all woes.

That same mistake was

in Daniel's suicide note.

Think.

Has he said that to you too?

Freja...

- Freja, let's go.

- You do remember. Come on.

He said...

Time heals all woes.

Yes. That same mistake is

in the note. Let go!

- It's the same mistake.

- Move, Roar.

No!

- Enough about this stupid note.

- No!

It doesn't mean a thing.

Freja, get in and let's go home.

Freja... Freja.

- Come on, Freja!

- Here!

- Look.

- It does say so.

And why has he got blood

on his hands, when I haven't?

Roar, can you explain this?

Let me go!

What if I hadn't figured out

what Roar whispered to you?

I might still have been locked up.

What makes you so sure

that was what he said?

- What do you mean?

- What if...

What if I made it up?

Maybe he just asked me

to go for a swim.

- I don't get it...

- It's kicking.

Do you feel it?

David.

Now you tell me what happened.

For the last time.

The truth and nothing but.

Okay?
