Paradise Page #5

I'm really tired. Is it all right if I

just take a shower and go to bed?

You don't want

to tell me what took you so long?

I called you,

I went to that paradise place...

- it's two a. M.

- We went through every last invoice.

- But everything's fine...

- You switched off your phone.

I was in the middle of a discussion.

- Why didn't you call me later on?

- I guess I could have.

But it was almost 11 by then,

and I figured you had gone to bed.

I don't know why you're still up.

If I came home at 2 a. M.

L would have liked you to wait up.

Has anything happened?

Are you interested in my work?

I want to know what's going on.

I went to the paradise foundation.

To find out how they could bill us -

- 320,000 for services

they haven't rendered.

That took a while...

- couldn't you have done it tomorrow?

- I was there.

So why not finish it?

You always work late.

- You don't.

- Well, get used to it.

I'm going to bed.

On Monday, the high-Profile

paradise foundation goes on trial.

The director,

a 31-Year-Old woman -

- Is charged with attempted fraud,

unlawful threat -

- Assault and conspiracy of murder.

Kvllspressen ran a series

revealing irregular circumstances -

- That led the woman

to be taken into custody.

However, the woman claims

the matter is a misunderstanding.

- May I come in?

- Of course.

- Aren't you at work?

- That's right, I am.

I can't stop thinking about you.

It's crazy...

how are you?

Better, now that you're here.

Grant Sofia Katarina peace, o lord.

And let perpetual light shine upon her.

Thank you. - Leif...

of course she does that...

Ill be on sick leave

for the rest of the month.

- And your grandmother's house?

- Naturally, Id like to keep it...

- but you know what my mother's like.

- How are things in that department?

I don't think she likes me

and Im not sure I like her either.

- Do you have to like your mother?

- Absolutely not.

Particularly

when they don't deserve it.

But you do have an obligation

to love your children.

It's a responsibility you cannot evade.

I don't think she feels I deserve love.

If she doesn't love you,

she's a bloody dimwit!

Forget it, let's drink to something.

I propose a toast

to new mothers and new people...

to a new life!

Are you going

to have some? It's lovely.

- I'm not going to have any wine.

- Not that kind of a new life.

I'm pregnant.

Are we talking about

immaculate conception here?

It's that guy from the local

authorities. His name is Thomas.

Are we happy about this?

Yes... I think so.

He's married...

- does he know?

- Not yet.

Oh, Annika!

Thanks.

Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t...!

Who was that?

Anders is working late,

and he keeps on calling me.

- I'll take care of it tomorrow.

- Don't you take his calls?

Just because he's working

doesn't mean I have to.

It's okay.

Aida, please forgive me.

Thomas Samuelsson, please.

Hi, it's me, Annika.

Could we get together?

L need to talk to you.

- I don't want to go on like this.

- You don't...

I don't want us to see each other

anymore, or communicate.

You're a wonderful person, Annika.

I love you, but I can't do this...

I don't want to see you

or talk to you again.

- Then I won't bother you again.

- I can't do it.

It was the best day of my life.

True love...

but Ratko turned my love into hate.

From then on I was consumed with

the thought of revenge. I killed...

I don't remember

how many people I killed.

I wanted them

to suffer as much as I had.

Why my family? My brothers?

Ako was only eight.

In time I got involved

with Ratko's gang.

I slept with his men.

I slept with him.

I became their whore.

This is no life...

if I kill him, if he's gone,

then maybe Ill have a future.

But there's a chance

he might get me first.

I don't ask you to forgive me.

But if he kills me -

- I want you to do me a favor.

Kill him.

Hi. I'd like to pawn this.

This isn't Swedish, is it?

- How much...?

- What would you like?

I need 9,120 kronor.

There's this computer

I have my eye on.

We could approve 10,000.

- May I look at the necklace again?

- Sure.

Hi, it's Annika.

Yes, it's been a while...

Listen... Im on to something big -

- That Im sure you'd like to know.

- What do you say?

- Where the hell did you get this?

- From a Yugoslavian man.

- Cut the sh*t, Bengtzon.

Dragan Misic, if you know who that is.

- Colonel. Diplomatic immunity. Spy.

- A spy?

- When did you see him?

- The day before yesterday.

Good timing... he's dead.

- How did he die?

- He blew his brains out.

- When?

- Last night.

Did you know

he was Aida Begovic's godfather?

- Anyone else seen this?

- Only my boss.

- Are you going to run it?

- If you were the editor, would you?

Still cocky, aren't you? I didn't know

they let you back on the beat.

- There's a lot you don't know, right?

- Apparently.

I've been working on this

for 18 months -

- And you waltz in with a complete list

of names and addresses.

- What are you going to do?

- Wait a day before printing this.

If you do, you might get to know

exactly when we'll make our move.

If our photographers

get to come along on the raids.

Isn't confirmation enough for you,

do you need photos too?

It's an evening paper.

How much does the police know?

Did you know Aida shot

that truck driver at the free port?

What is this, jeopardy?

- That Ratko is the ringleader.

- Do you think we're stupid?

- And he shot Aida.

- Thank you. I'm grateful for all this.

Am I

to stand up and do the wave?

- When will the raids be?

- Six a. M. Tomorrow.

- Your photographers up that early?

- They have alarm clocks. See you.

Why have the police

seen this already?

Because I went to them first.

It's your call, this is going down

with or without our photographers.

Shut the door.

You decide if we're going

to be in on this. What do you say?

I bet this would fill the paper

for at least three days.

It's not up to you if this will fill

three days, two days or just one...

or if we're going to run it at all.

- So?

- I'm busy reading!

Police and customs authorities -

- Cracked down on the Yugoslavian

mafia this morning.

during the nationwide intervention.

Four truckloads of cigarettes were

stopped at the Norwegian border.

These efforts were the result

of an in-Depth investigation.

And the police were

very satisfied with the outcome.

But the ringleader, Ratko Markovic,

is still at large.

They came and took Ratko away!

They're taking him to Belgrade.

Help me, mother!

I don't know what to do.

They took him away.

I'm all alone! Ratko!

Impressive!

It was luck, if you could

use the word in this situation.

I'd say it was hard work.

There's one thing I don't get, though.

Why did we meet here?

- Why not at the office?

- I don't want to go there.

- You don't want to go there...

- I'm sick of editing.

I want to write.

- I quit.

- Say that again, please.

I quit.

That's too bad...

that's too bad, because we
