Acquitted (2015–…): Season 1, Episode 10 - Sannheten - full transcript

I'll turn myself into the police. I killed her.

Take your team and leave.
PWG doesn't own what's in your head.

If we were to do something like that,
we need you.

He killed her! He smashed her head...

against a rock until it split open!
- Stop it!

- Åse, I love you.
- It's too late.

You have to be careful
about who you let into your life.

- It's not going to work, Tim.
- You don't want to be seen with me?

I'm not him, Helene.

I don't want to create more conflict.

I can't support
something I don't believe in.



It's always been us.

Is Mai-Britt there?
We're here to arrest her.

How did you get her to do this?
What lies have you been feeding her?

- It's your mum.
- I haven't asked her to do this.

Don't lie to me. I don't believe for
a second that you have amnesia.

Was this part of the plan?
Your own mother!

I haven't done this to mum.
It's you and your buddy in there.

- I know she's innocent.
- Why don't you tell the truth then?

If you really want
to save her, confess.

It's not difficult to fix.

If you couldn't hate me, Eva,
what would you do?

You know what you've done,
and I know it, too.

Erik?

Erik!



Erik?

Shit. Hey... Ah, come on.

- No, cut it out.
- Come on.

- No...
- Let me take that.

Shit, look at this.

- There.
- Fuck, it's really cold!

- It's good for you.
- Aksel!

There. Take this.

- I'm okay.
- Are you okay? Whoops.

I'm okay.

It's insane. Fucking insane.

No wonder she's stark raving mad.

She goes on and on.
"Erik, they're coming."

"Erik, they're here.
Help me. Erik..."

She gets under your skin
and psyches you out. It's just...

Guilty conscience and shit.

I could have been in Chamonix.
I didn't go.

Because of a psycho murderer.

Hey. You do understand
that she didn't do it?

She's weird,
but she hasn't killed anyone.

We'll get her out of there.

- Hey, it's going to be all right.
- Okay.

Unpleasant. Do you remember this?

She thought the pictures
were unpleasant.

I had to hide it
every time she went to bed.

When he stood there,
asking for forgiveness...

I didn't feel relieved. Nothing.

But when you grabbed him...

I wanted you to do it.
That you would...

There was nothing that I wanted more.

Forgiveness is just a word.

Everyone talks about reconciliation.

They don't know
what it's like to lose a child.

- What's up?
- She's on her way here.

I can't tell her not to come.
You know it's going to be you and I.

- Tonje.
- Does she know?

Hello.

Wow.

Do you want to open the wine?

Hi.

- Hi. Do you remember me?
- Yes, you were Aksel's lawyer.

Yes. He sent me.

- Well, you know why I'm here.
- Yes.

He told me
I have to sign a confession.

There's the question
of compos mentis.

Yes, we'll follow the procedure.

- Are you okay?
- Yes.

I just had a bad night.
I didn't sleep at all.

- Right.
- But I'm fine.

Maybe we should talk privately.

She had a fit, but she's getting
oxygen now, so she'll be fine.

What have you done to her?
The DNA results came back,

and she realised
the seriousness of the situation.

- It was her.
- No.

The skin under Karine's fingernail
is a match to your mother.

She fought with Karine that night.

- That can't be right.
- It's over, Aksel.

Your mother killed Karine.

I could probably have handled
this case more professionally.

I'm very sorry.

Thank you very much. You don't
believe this yourself, Finn.

- If you have any questions...
- Questions?

We've tried to figure this out for
20 years. We've explored all leads.

And now, you're just giving up?

I don't think you heard me.
It's over.

How nice this must be for you.

Then you can sit in your office,
drink bad coffee-

-and dream of retirement.
Is that how you want your life to be?

- Eva...
- No.

There are concrete pieces
of evidence. What you hoped for.

- You can't argue against DNA.
- It doesn't add up.

I know it's not what you wanted
to hear, but it is what it is.

But Mai-Britt, William?
Sweet Mai-Britt.

It's not possible. Mai-Britt.

I can't believe that she
would have sacrificed you like that.

She's only ever loved Erik.
That's just how it is.

She didn't even want
to let me in after 20 years.

Hey, at least now,
you can think of the future.

Come.

It's possible.

But we have to have established
a new company with a ready lab

the very same day we resign.

- Lars?
- Yes.

The new company can't hire anybody,
but we can take an option-

- on the entire team.
- A three-month quarantine.

- We reconstruct the experiment.
- We'll be accused

- of industrial espionage.
- A lawyer is looking into it.

- You've given us guarantees before.
- Lars.

He still works for PWG.

Fine. Do you want me to go first?

How long do we have?

This was your idea, William.

Are you leaving me with everything?

You do understand
that I'll go bankrupt?

You can at least help me
pay our employees.

Of course.

I have to make her my priority.

- I'm worried about her.
- Is it me?

- Have I done anything wrong?
- No.

Was she like this
with Helene's mother?

No, she wasn't as strong.

- You're more like Eva.
- No, I'm not.

You're strong. That's probably
why she has it in for you.

The only thing I wanted
was to be a part of the family.

I know we're difficult,
but all families are like that.

Just stick with it.

I missed you.

Hi.

I'm sorry.

They're all saying that...

- I should stay away from you.
- But here you are.

- What does your dad say?
- He doesn't care.

- What about your mum?
- She only cares about him.

Maybe we should run away after all.

Come on. We're going to grandma's.

- Are you serious?
- You have to meet her.

Come on.

I've lied to them so much
and for so long.

Now that everything's over...

I should at least give them a chance.
Try to work it out.

- I can't just think of myself.
- No.

- Tonje...
- What about me?

I could have had children.
Had a life.

- But I waited for you.
- I've never asked you to do that.

Tonje, I love you.

If it hadn't been for you,
I don't know where I had been.

I know.

You'd been in prison, Aksel.

- That's where you would have been.
- Yes.

If you're going to be honest,
then you can admit that.

I never saw you.

- You know I lied.
- What?

This game we've been playing.
You've known all along.

I said I never saw you.

- What are you talking about?
- You could have been anywhere.

- No, Tonje.
- Anywhere.

Maybe I saw Mai-Britt.

Maybe it was she
who ran past Rasmus' house.

Is she innocent?

No.

You don't know anything.

How can you be so sure?

What if it's not her?
She could get 18 years.

Mum killed Karine. Just face it.
She's stark raving mad.

She was always so nervous.
She was almost scared of Karine.

Not that night.
Mum found the pictures.

She stood there in the doorway,
and I thought I would die.

- But Karine, she...
- Karine?

- Was Karine here?
- She was waiting for you.

Karine wanted the pictures back.
Mum refused.

I've never seen her that pissed.

Mum walks away, Karine follows her.

- They're screaming and yelling.
- Did they get into a fight?

I don't know.
I didn't follow them.

- But did it sound like they fought?
- I don't know.

Why?

That might be
why they've found her DNA.

If she was trying to grab the photos,
Karine could have scratched her.

That's how she got her DNA
under her fingernails.

That's more plausible
than mum killing her.

William?

It's just me, grandma.
Can you come down for a moment?

This is Tim, my boyfriend.

But don't you understand?

I don't ever want
to see you here with him.

Leave.

Leave this house.

Leave!

It only happened once.
I don't know what I was thinking.

Him? He's a fucking joke.

Remember how we laughed about him?
I don't know what I was thinking.

That fucking hotel.
We should never have bought it.

Your fucking designer kitchen
looks like a hospital.

Who can be happy here?

I left Anne Marie for this!

Helene has lived out of a suitcase
because of you!

You've gotten everything!
I've given you everything!

You've destroyed my entire life!

Grandma is crazy.
She's threatening us.

- What's he doing here?
- Do something.

- I want him to leave.
- Can't you talk to her?

- What do you want me to say?
- That she can't behave like that.

You are 16. You don't know anything.

I've tried to talk to you, Helene.

You do exactly what you want.
Everybody does what they want.

What are you doing?

- Leave.
- What am I to do?

Leave. I don't want to see you.

Aksel.

- How are you doing?
- I'm fine.

Mum.

Was it really you?

Did you kill Karine?

I knew it was you
the minute I saw the police.

I'm not angry with you any more.
It wasn't your fault.

Eva should have listened. Then none
of this would have happened.

- Eva?
- Yes.

She didn't believe me.
None of them did.

They didn't want to believe those
nasty things about their daughter.

But I saw it. I saw her true colours.

She wasn't good for you either.
You changed completely.

She started playing around
with Erik, too. I was so angry.

I told Eva everything,
but she didn't believe me.

- Were you at their house?
- When I found the pictures.

That night?

Yes, I had to.

After Karine died,
Eva told me not to tell the police.

Then Erik
would have been involved, too.

Mum, has Eva known about the pictures
this whole time?

Yes.

Everyone's in.

Everyone apart from me.

I've tried to be professional,
but I can't do it.

It's not going to work
with Aksel as CEO.

- So...
- I think I've solved it.

Frederik.

- Have you double checked?
- Several times.

That's more
than they have ever asked for.

This hasn't happened. Not yet.
Do you understand?

- Are you going far?
- Yeah, I'm going to Chamonix.

There's room for one more.

Take care of yourself.

Inger?

Inger?

You used to sit over there and talk
in the evenings. You and William.

It seemed like
you had a lot to talk about.

I used to watch you
from the window in Karine's room.

I always wanted
to walk over to you and talk to you,

but I didn't dare.

I didn't want to ruin the moment.
You used to laugh a lot.

Did you sit over there
when mum arrived?

You sat over there, and she came
in her cheap, green coat,

walked across your perfect lawn
and started jabbering.

She told you
nasty things about Karine.

Mum is not great with words.

You probably tore her apart.
Made her insecure.

- But you knew it was true.
- Leave.

- You knew her.
- I'm calling the police.

You knew how she was. Karine had
no boundaries, and you knew it.

- No.
- She stole your bank card.

- She wasn't like that!
- She crashed your car-

-on her 16th birthday, dead drunk.
Do you remember?

- What?
- She did a striptease

at the end-of-term party
in year nine.

- It's a lie.
- I know you saw it.

You weren't as naive as him. William.

He didn't want
to see any faults with anyone.

- Did you fight?
- Be quiet.

You wanted him to go get her,
but he wouldn't listen.

- Stop it.
- So you had to do it yourself.

- Stop it!
- You got in the car

even though you were drunk.
You only wanted to talk to her.

Did she laugh? That laughter
sounded like it didn't belong to her.

She laughed in your face.
Did she laugh that laugh?

- You grabbed her, shook her.
- No.

You wanted her to stop,
but she wouldn't.

- Karine never gave in.
- Oh my God, what have I done!

I loved you.
I wanted you to be my mother.

I couldn't understand
why you suddenly hated me.

- I didn't understand anything.
- I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

- Aksel.
- Eva?

- Oh, no.
- What is it?

You were so angry when you took off.
I'd never seen you like that before.

- What are you talking about?
- You were so disappointed.

I told you
to wait until the next day.

That we should talk to her
when we had calmed down.

Yes, but I told you
I didn't find her.

Oh my God.

- What?
- Your state when you came home.

There was something
in your tone of voice, William.

The William I knew was gone.
You were like a different person.

- No.
- Yes. Your own daughter.

William, all these years...
How could you?

How could you?

She wasn't supposed
to fall like that.

The rocks were slippery.
It had been raining.

I couldn't lose you, too.

I couldn't lose you.

How have you been able
to live with yourself?

Eva.

That's why you were so sure.

- I never meant to hurt you.
- You sat there...

You sat in the courtroom
and watched me get sentenced.

- You let them chase me out of town.
- I've tried to redeem myself.

- Twenty years.
- Yes.

- You did all right, didn't you?
- I did all right?

Eva.

Give it to me.
Just give it to me.

There.

Please.
