Conspiracy of Silence (2018–…): Season 1, Episode 7 - Not Animals - full transcript

Hello.

WANTED FOR MURDER

CONSPIRACY OF SILENCE

Your lawyer is here.

So what do they say?
- You're smart. What do you think?

They have DNA both
from you and Rolf Höglund,

which connects you to him.

A van with DNA from Rolf,

his daughter Åsa
and an unidentified person.

A witness saw you shoot.

You're scheduled
for a line-up right now.



So I'm screwed?
- There are gaps in the evidence,

but they're not big and not many.

Have you spoken to Anders?
- I'm the best lawyer Anders has.

It's time.

Just get hold of him.

Take all the time you need.

It's number three.

Take your time.
- I'm a hundred percent sure.

Rolf will be proven right.
It's what you wanted.

But it won't bring him back, will it?

Why is the person who shot my dad
allowed to live?

In prison for the rest of his life.

Dad will never have the feeling
of having been right.

And what if Anders has tricked people
into going along with his crap?



Should we expose innocent people?
- Innocent? In this world?

Good morning.

Good morning.

You've been twisting
and turning all night.

I do my very best not to disturb you.

Can I do anything to help you?
- No.

It's just job stuff.

You worry too much.
It's going great.

The Indonesian Minister of Defense is
on his way to sign the agreement?

Yeah, he's coming tomorrow, but it's...

It's complicated.
- You'll work it out.

We said very clearly:
no more secrets, total transparency.

You probably have your reasons
that we don't know about. But still!

I told you again and again
to leave her alone.

Yes, but not why! Don't you think
that it would've been good for us

to know that she's your daughter?
Did we not need to know that?

Now we haven't got anyone
in Anders's inner circle!

That's not helping.
- What have I done?

Yeah, what have you done?
- Stop it! Get a grip.

You're so full of bullshit.
You're good at talking.

But what have you actually done?
- Real journalistic work takes time.

If you don't act like a bulldozer,
you can actually find useful stuff.

Bulldozer? I have found something.

Karl-Erik said that someone
is still alive.

Why did he get rid of his photographs
before he jumped?

Yes? Why?
You haven't found anything, Robert.

Jens, that's enough.

He's going to ruin everything.

And there we go. I'm so fed up
with your gorilla style!

"Gorilla style"?

It was the first record
I ever bought your mother.

A very long time ago. 1987.

I bought it because we had...
I had behaved badly.

Instead of flowers.
That's what I used to do.

Not just when I had messed up,
other occasions, too, like birthdays.

She liked music.
But you know that, right?

I don't want to cause you any harm.

I want to tell you my version,
but if you don't want it,

I'll go and you won't have
to see me again.

What had you done?
When you bought the album?

It was silly...

We had just met.

She had this thing she did.
Or didn't do.

Kitchen cabinets, drawers,
and stuff like that.

She never closed them.
They were always half open.

I told her off, and one day I banged
my head and yelled something.

She yelled back, I slammed a door
and went out to try and calm down.

That's when I walked past
the record store

that used to be over there.

I bought that record
and it became our music.

We listened to it all the time
during that period.

I have a scar here somewhere.

I ran into an open drawer.

I think I was six years old.

I had blood all over my t-shirt.
- Then you know.

He's our main source and he's taught
us everything, but he's a liability.

We can't just forget about him.
This is about his whole life.

We don't have time for more mistakes.

If we can uncover this
during the meeting in Stockholm,

it will find its way into
the history books.

Jens...

Stella? Hi.

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

I thought you were...

I haven't seen you at the office
in a while. They said you were ill?

I'm feeling better.
- Good.

Well, I won't disturb you.
See you tomorrow then, I guess?

Bye.
- Bye.

She didn't think we had enough.
- You haven't been there at all.

And you let us think it's on?

It will be! As soon as we have enough
binding evidence. They can't say no.

Who had a go at Robert
about being transparent and open?

Was it you?

My God!
- We're on to something huge here.

Something people are prepared
to murder for.

I'm risking my whole career.
Putting everything on the line.

Why do I get all the shit?
- We don't need your paper at all.

We can go straight to Navid.
He'll put everything on Leaklinks.

We can do a Snowden here.

He's really enjoying
the fruits of his success.

You know what I mean.
- Why would we give this to Navid?

Dagbladet will give this,
give us the focus we deserve.

Give us a voice
so that we can do Rolf justice.

It's what we want, isn't it?
- I don't know what I want anymore.

I do know that I have to get food
for Mario and Nike.

We'll talk later.

Hi. This is not what I planned.

The wrong toy and the milkshake
machine was out of order.

Is this some kind of punishment
for Jens?

No, but we can't sit here any longer.

You can go for walks
or find things to do.

You just can't be at home
or at work right now.

Do I still have a job?

They keep calling,
but I can't say anything.

What alternatives do we have?
- Loads.

We can go to my sister, or abroad.

You have to let go of this
and let the police do their job.

I don't want to be scared
of footsteps in the corridor.

This affects Nike.
Don't you see that?

You have already called your sister,
haven't you?

Yes, I have.
She's expecting us.

I'll come as soon as I can.

Please...
- Say goodbye.

I love the two of you.

Come with us, then.
- I'll come as soon as I can.

I used to fantasize about you.

You weren't dead,
you were away on adventures.

Like a secret agent or a superhero.

Why did you never get in touch?

I didn't know you existed.

Your mother meant everything to me.

I wanted to retire from everything
and just be with her.

Work as a builder or something.
- Why didn't you?

It wasn't allowed.

No one could leave.
They thought you'd leak information.

I spoke to Anders and told him
that I wanted out.

Even as I said it,
I knew he would never allow it.

I'm sorry to have to say this, Johanna.

The explosion on the boat,
the so-called accident...

It was Anders.

I knew during our talk that
he was going to try something.

So I used his attempt to kill me.

I just had to find
the opportunity and timing.

When it came, I took it and fled.
Never looked back.

Slowly, very slowly...

I started to build a new life.

During these last few years,

I've had something resembling happiness

before my karma came back
and punished me.

Was it quick? When she fell ill?

She disappears from one page
to the next in the album.

She had cancer of the pancreas.

Four months from running
the marathon to the funeral.

And you were nine years old?

That's bloody hard.

You could say that...

I'll leave you in peace now.

Why did you come back?

Someone once said:
"Morality is doing the right thing,

"even when no one is watching."

I want to do the right thing,
get the truth out.

It's the only way of finding
some meaning in all this.

I've lived with lies my whole life.

I have to find some solid ground.
Something I can build on.

But I need your help.

What's that?

The truth that you and I
are searching for is on this.

Good morning.

Gentlemen,

I'm afraid that we have a small problem.

We're going to need a bit more time
to think this through.

Forgive me, Minister.

I don't know why, but now she wants
to negotiate for another week.

Something about the end user
agreement, or lack thereof.

She walked out of an interview.
She won't say anything to me.

I'm flying with the Minister of
Defense to the Nuclear Summit.

This has to be solved now.
- I'm doing what I can, David.

You think that'll make our friends
in Burma feel less fucked?

They know these things can happen.

They pay good money for this not
to happen. They hold us accountable.

Fuck it! I'll fix it myself.

We have to go to Stockholm.

Spetz's personal accounts, trusts,
companies abroad. It's all there.

Okay, I'll check.

And we'll keep Johanna
out of this, okay?

If this is what you say it is,
we won't need Johanna.

I know why Karl-Erik threw away
the material for the book.

He and Anders took a trip together.

In the beginning of the '90s.

And there's a third person
in the background.

I can't see who it is.
This is...

Are you listening?

Sorry, but I think
you can forget about that.

We've got him, Robert.
Thanks to you!

Stay there.

I dropped a plate.

I thought you were in Sandersvik?
- Yes, I was, but...

You know what? I've had enough.

I don't know how this deal will end,
but one thing's for sure: I'm done.

Apparently, I can't just leave.
They want to force me to stay on.

But I don't want to.
I want to leave everything.

And I want you to come with me.

Johanna?

What's the matter, Johanna?

Robert was here.
He told me everything.

You tried to kill my dad.

You drove him away, for your sake.
- No, I...

Of course you'd say that!
You say anything to protect yourself.

Now everyone will know the truth.
They'll see who you really are.

What do you mean?

What have you done, Johanna?

I copied your accounts.
From your computer. All of it.

And gave it to Robert.

You stay here.
She mustn't leave the house.

I'm afraid we're having really
big problems. I need your help.

I'll be away for the rest of the day.
Redirect any calls to my cell phone.

Maggie...

Are there problems with the affair?

Yeah. I know it's a secret.
I know that.

But people talk
and they ask me if I know.

Don't worry. We'll find a way.

It must be so hard at the top.

You only hear problems and complaints.

I speak for everyone here.
We really like what you're doing.

We know you want to save our jobs.

Well, thanks. I do what I can.

I just wanted to say it.
Anyway, see you tomorrow.

Okay. Bye.

Everybody is expecting me
to work this out.

But what if I can't?

So there are problems?
I heard rumors. You left the room?

Yeah. I'm not sure...

Let's just say that
I have reasons to believe,

that there's something wrong
with the whole deal.

Illegal even.

What I do know is
the people behind the deal,

they are definitely involved
in illegal trading, historically.

But you don't know
that something is illegal?

No, I'm not sure, but...

What do I do?
I promised to fight corruption.

But I also promised to save Sandersvik.

I love it here.

I love you.

I see a future here.

Maggie, the decision must be yours.

I'd never forgive myself if I made
you do something you'd regret later.

Coward.

Sorry.

Just so you know I heard you.
I love you, too.

You sure you don't want me to stay?
- I need to clear my head. Think.

Call me if you change your mind.
- Okay. Good night.

Bye.
- Bye.

Welcome to Sandersvik.
Welcome to Sweden.

We have a long and proud history
of producing

high-quality defense technology.

We have set certain standards
that are very important to us.

To me personally, both in terms
of quality, but also morally.

I can't guarantee that what you want
to buy will stay in your country.

Without knowing that,
I simply can't accept the deal.

I'm very sorry for taking up
your valuable time. Excuse me.

The situation is retrievable.
I'll be back.

Is there something the matter?

If you ever approach anyone close
to me again, I'll destroy you.

I'm sorry. I have no idea
what you're talking about.

No. Of course you don't.

You're not in a position
to destroy anyone anymore.

You just killed this company.
- At least my conscience is clear.

Is it? You're in a profession as old
as the first time

one man wanted to hurt another man...

That's right. I said "man." Sue me.

Conscience has no place here.
- I disagree.

It doesn't matter what you think,
darling. Your time here is up.

I guess we'll find out whose
time is up, won't we?

I guess we will.

Tot ziens, Mrs. van Haal.

Marika Winquist's account.

She wasn't Foreign Minister then.
- Doesn't matter. She received money.

I'll get some coffee.

This is definitely enough
to take to my boss.

Even better if you and I could
connect these payments

to concrete deals
that Anders has been involved in.

See what's been paid out
and where the money ended up.

Compare payments.
- How?

You won't find that in documents
with public access.

I think we should talk
to Niloufar Ardalan again. Åsa and I.

Excuse me?
- No offense.

You're wanted by the police
for shooting a police officer.

She wasn't very helpful.
- This is hard to say no to.

Can you help us?
This has to be exposed.

A systematic abuse of the Swedish system

for 30 to 40 years.

I want to help you.
This is in our interest, too.

But I don't have the mandate to do it.

But Jarl is on the right side.

Our ballots are secret,
but he has clearly shown his stand,

regarding the Indonesia deal. He was
my mentor when I started here.

In order for this to work, we need
the Director General on our side.

The plan is to go public during
the Nuclear Security Summit,

when all the Foreign Ministers
are gathered.

The focus of the media
is already on the subject.

It will give even more fuel
to the revelations.

So you know that Anders Spetz is
working with David Hatch?

A witness has seen them together.

And that will show further
connections between them.

We have already found connections
to highly prominent people.

I have known Anders for over 30 years.

He has always promised

that he's not involved
in this sort of thing.

Yeah...

I've done everything
to stop the corruption.

Implemented rules,
strengthened the legislation.

Can we count on your help?
- Yes, damn it!

Everything has to come out.

We'll have to dig deep
into the archives.

Match the transactions
in the accounts with our own figures.

Can I keep this?
I'm assuming it's a copy?

Take it. We have another one.
- Hold onto it.

No more copies. We must keep this
to as few people as possible.

In the wrong hands, it will be
infinitely more complicated.

People worried about their careers
will talk about "national security."

It's an effective way of putting
a lid on forbidden topics.

But I'm glad you came to us.

Now, let's ensure we do this right.
We'll be in touch soon.

Thank you.
- Bye.

This is what they have,
and it's no small matter.

And I'm sure they're working
with Robert,

even though they never
mentioned his name.

They knew too much about
how it all works.

That's obviously a copy.
- Yes, they're not stupid.

How the hell could this happen?

Calm down, Jarl.

I'm more interested
in how we get out of the situation.

Have you contacted anyone?
- I've contacted them all.

You'll be given a meeting place
in your telephone shortly.

Good luck.

Anders Spetz.
- I know.

Everything ready. Please...

Can you please explain to me,

why I'm standing here
in the middle of the night,

afraid that the sky is falling down?

I could, but it doesn't matter.

All that matters is what we do next.

Are you guilty
of what you're being accused of?

Yes.

Right now, I'm handling a big arms deal,

that's officially going to Indonesia.

But parts of the delivery
will not stop there.

It will be sold on to Burma,
which is on the UN Embargo List.

But that's not all I've done.

I've kept the whole
Swedish arms industry afloat,

for the last thirty years.

While you chose to spend money
on other things.

And you liked it. Right, Gunnar?

You were Minister for Trade
when I helped with South Africa.

I didn't hear any whining then.

Congratulations on the new job, Anette.

Minister for Defense. Not bad.

And Marika, you know this will affect
the Foreign Office and yourself.

Next week, you're hosting foreign
secretaries from all over the world.

If this gets out during the summit,
I won't be the only one in trouble.

I don't think you would like
the consequences.

Talk it through amongst yourselves.
Solve it.

Good morning.

Yes, come in.

Take a seat.

All the ministers are now
arriving behind us.

What do you hope to achieve
at the Nuclear Security Summit?

We hope to end the rearmament
that has intensified in recent years.

That the values we in Sweden
fight for and are respected for,

can influence the debate and lead
to a more secure world for us all.

How will you accomplish that?
- We want to see stricter rules.

More inspections,
increased transparency.

It may not be achieved immediately,
but step by step,

we want more countries
to accept the demands

that we take for granted in Sweden.

Hi. Sorry. I'm super late.

Impossible to get anywhere.

All the streets are blocked
because of the summit.

Where is Jens?
- I don't know.

I don't understand. His office is
two blocks away from here.

He should've been the first to get here.

Has he developed a hip problem, or what?

Let me call him.

The reason for meeting here was
that it would be quick for him.

You can put the phone down.
He won't pick up.

I knew it. Fuck!
- No, no, no...

What the hell? Shit!

I can't deal with this.
Not him as well!

There can be many reasons.
He probably doesn't give a shit.

He's passionate about this.
He's lying to his boss to help us.

And why do you think he does that?

This is personal to us, but not to him.

To him, it's just a career move.

He's been offered a chance
to run this himself and dump us.

He wouldn't do that to me.

Because he's so keen on you?
- No, no, no.

That's what I thought,
but of course it isn't.

He's much more interested in himself
and his career than in you.

It doesn't add up.
This is wrong, it isn't like him.

What were you prepared to do
in that music studio?

What are you prepared to do
to find your old man's murderer?

He avoids all the hard stuff
and only gets the rewards.

And becomes a spineless bloody...

Hide that in your dad's apartment.

Didn't you know someone
who can publish things online?

Navid.

Leave this with Navid, and make sure
he publishes Anders's accounts.

I haven't got anything
to give him anymore!

I'll find Jens and I'll take back
everything that he stole.
