First Responders (2020): Season 1, Episode 10 - Flickan - full transcript

Do you want some too?

You can't have all of it.

It's tasty.

-Four?
-Yes.

We have them in the freezer.

But they're not nice.

There's nothing wrong with
Grandma's buns.

Yeah, they're dry!

Okay, maybe.
But, those ones,

loads of sugar and additives.

And they're tasty!



Okay. But, first,
we eat up Grandma's buns,

and then those ones.

-Do we have an agreement?
-Yes.

You'll get twice as many buns.
That's a good deal.

FIRST RESPONDERS

And she did an internship with you,
exactly four months ago.

No.

We've just had
a little incident here,

so I want to double check
everyone involved.

Do you recall Zara
acting strangely, or...

Lying or anything like that?

Mm. No.

If you remember the tiniest,
little thing, it would be helpful.

Oh? Well, um...



When was that?

-It hurts.
-Does the light hurt you?

-Yes.
-Yeah?

I have a headache. I have a cold.

I just came to get penicillin.

Okay, but this is not bacterial,
so I can't give you that.

So it is influenza? A virus?

I'm not sure, but I want to
run some more tests.

-Okay?
-Okay.

-Zara, yeah?
-Yeah. Okay. I'll be back soon.

-Seen my daughter? She...
-Sorry, I don't speak Swedish.

Seen my daughter?
She has dark hair...

No. No, I'm sorry.

Excuse me, have you seen my daughter?
She's about this tall.

Dark hair.

No, I haven't seen her, would you
like me to call out and check?

If anyone has seen a 10-year-old,
dark-haired girl with a blue vest...

We'll find her.

...could you please...

Hey.

Hey, Rim.

-Are you off work?
-Yeah, I start at two.

Ah.

-It's a nice day.
-Yeah, a nice view.

-I have to go, so.
-Okay, sure...

-It was nice to see you.
-Yeah, see you.

Come on, Rim. Come.

What are you doing?

They know we're here.

Thanks for coming.

But, hey?
I really need to talk to you.

-You know I really like you? Right?
-I like you too, very much.

But, I...

I feel really stupid for not
immediately saying yes to your offer.

Sometimes, you just have
to take a chance.

Yeah, but...

I can't just move around like that,
I just moved here.

-But, Zara?
-I want to be with you.

-You know that, right?
-But, Zara?

I don't have any claim on you.

But I...
really feel alive when I'm with you

You can take the job regardless.

It's got nothing to do
with me and you.

It'd be nice to be able
to give you the job,

if you don't like it so much here.

No.

What do you say?

Maybe.

-Good.
-Mm.

Who's the father?

Kenta is a former soldier
with special forces.

He was abroad for many years and has
had a hard time since he came home.

-Criminal?
-No, just had a hard time.

A bit... querulous
and seems to have PTSD.

I reported him for assaulting a
police officer two months ago.

We have a patrol going to his place
now, but he's probably not there.

-No, I almost hope he's not.
-What do you mean?

I think there's a better
chance of this ending well

if he's got her, rather than...

-a complete stranger.
-Mm.

-Okay. Thanks.
-I'll be in touch.

So. Let her in.

Hey, Carita. You can sit there.

Our theory is that
your husband has Stella.

He'd never hurt anyone.

That's just want I want to
talk to you about.

-How is he?
-He's not well.

It's a shame for him.

May I ask why you've separated?

Because I can't handle it.

And because I wanted Stella
to have peace and quiet.

But he loves her,
and he's a great dad.

But you have custody?

Yes. He had some kind of record,
and...

no stable home environment, so...

I got custody.

-How did he take it?
-Like everything else...

He just shuts down...

goes into a kind of darkness...

or something...
And then comes the anxiety.

Dreadful anxiety.

54-10 in place.
Setting up roadblocks.

Copy that. We're looking for a
10-year-old girl, dark hair.

Wearing pink jacket and blue
vest when she disappeared.

First name, Stella. Hearing
disability, can't hear anything,

but communicates well using sign
language, facial expression,

and layman's sign language.

14-53-15 in place.
Setting up roadblocks.

-Did the house search find anything?
-They're there now.

No clear leads so far.

His gun is missing.

Come on! Hurry up.

I'm worried about Mum.

Mum's not worried.

We'll call her later.

I want to go home.

No, come on.

-I don't want to!
-Come, now!

Come, now!

To start with, the patient doesn't
have the worst kind of tumour,

and she will probably recover.

-Nice to hear.
-Absolutely.

And she's not going to report us to
the Health and Welfare board.

However, I need to report one of you.

Because there are two different
accounts of the same event,

which need to be sorted out.

Zara, if it's true that you took on
Maria's diagnosis and patient,

you were still acting
irresponsibly and negligently.

I know, and I'm really very
sorry about that.

Somehow, I think your version, Maria,
seems believable.

But, wait,
help me out with my memory.

You studied at
the Karolinska Institute?

Mm.

-And you?
-My degree is from Phoenix, USA.

It was approved by
the Health and Welfare Board,

since I've mostly worked abroad,
but I had a dialog with them.

Oh yes, that's right, but...

you'd also worked in some centre in
Africa, was it... Tanzania?

Yes. The centre is called Nduta.

And you had finished your training
when you were there, yes?

-Yes, that's right.
-Anyway, I spent yesterday

this morning calling
your previous employers.

And Doctors Without Borders in Africa
said, yes, you've worked there.

As a nurse.

When I checked your credentials from
the USA, they hadn't heard of you.

Maria...

What do you have to say about this?

I'm upset, and very hurt by
what you think of me.

I... I have no idea
what you're talking about, and...

Naturally,
I dispute these allegations.

I'll be getting the union involved,

-I'll need someone representing me...
-Sorry to...

Sorry to interrupt,
I can't listen to this.

Here's the situation. You're employed
through a staffing agency.

So I can cancel your contract
whenever I like,

particularly given you've lied
straight to my face.

So...

I'm going to report a Lex Maria,
then a separate police report.

Because it's illegal to pretend to be
a doctor when you are not one.

I want to go home.

Come on, we'll go.

-Hey.
-Hey. Hey.

Come on.

-Excuse me?
-Mm?

Is everything okay?

-Yes, why?
-She looks a bit worried.

Wait!
I can see there's something...

There, then.

-Do you want something?
-No.

Come on! Kerstin's on your side!
That's great!

-Yeah, but I still messed up.
-Come on, everyone makes mistakes!

And it turned out the way we hoped!

I risked someone's life
just to be helpful.

Yeah, well, let's try to learn from
the situation and move on, okay?

Mm.

-Mm.
-Mm.

You're great, Zara!

I'll go see my patient.

That's a good idea.

Go for it!

-Hi.
-Mm, hi.

Have a seat, please.

So? What did the new test say?

-Um...
-I get penicillin now?

No, I would like to exclude one more
thing so I would like to do an x-ray.

Okay?

-But I haven't got all day.
-No, I'll hurry.

-Hey.
-Hey, oh dear, what happened to you?

Um, yeah. I've been assaulted.

-Yes, I can see that.
-I should go to the police, actually,

but it won't stop bleeding.

If you're lucky, they can come here.
Want me to ask?

-Yes, please. Is that possible?
-I'll just try to get...

you into a room first.

-Because that doesn't look good.
-No.

So, good news, your x-rays are clean.

Thank you.

But you saw something in my eyes
that made you do an x-ray?

Yeah, I just wanted to be sure
that there wasn't anything.

Zara...

We've got a guy on his way to you.
Just fixing his nose, first.

He's been in a fight.

If you want to take a report here so
he doesn't bleed in your office too?

Oh? Yeah. What kind of fight?

I don't know, he has a broken nose.

-Where?
-Somewhere in the mountain.

I haven't asked exactly where, but...

just weird that two hikers would
start a fight without reason, so...

Did he have a girl with him?

No, he came alone.

I mean the guy who hit him?

I don't know. You can ask him.
He's in room three.

-Hey. ?sa. So, you've been hit?
-Mm.

Who hit you, and where?

Can you please wait a bit?

I'm almost done.

Can you describe the person
who did this and where it happened?

Yeah, it was a hunter.

why do you say hunter?

He had a gun on his back.

Was he alone?

No, he actually had
a little girl with him.

Where, exactly, did this happen,
did you say?

I was on my way up to...

Getryggen and met them, maybe half...
Wait, I have one of these.

-Oh, great.
-A GPS watch,

so you should get a pretty exact...

-Do you want my personal details?
-Yes. We'll do it later.

-I'll borrow this for a minute.
-Sure.

It's good you could all come in
at such short notice.

?sa, you can update us.

We have a man who's
lost custody of his daughter.

Now he's run away with her.

His name is Kenta.

He's ex-military.

He's got a gun.

He may well be psychotic.

Yeah. The daughter's name is Stella.
Tomas?

We're going to split into
groups of two.

I want one police,
one mountain rescue in each pair.

You'll each get a search area.

Take tents and count on
spending the night.

Please remember that mountain rescue
has command in the mountains,

until we meet the perpetrator,
then you take over.

Stay in contact.

Seriously?

And you've accepted?

I don't know if I should be happy for
you or sad for selfish reasons.

It's been awful, lately.

Do you know what I did today?
I x-rayed a man with a cold.

You see?

-Thank you so much.
-Thank you!

Why did you do that?

Because I was afraid he had a tumour.

Sounds like you need a break.
A holiday.

-Have you talked to Kerstin?
-Of course not.

You have to.
She's your boss and mentor.

She can actually be really good.

She hasn't said a friendly word to me
all summer,

and made me think
I was getting fired.

-Yeah, but you weren't.
-No, but I still had to feel anxious.

I thought I'd lose
everything I'd worked for.

Yeah.

But I don't want to lose you.

Hey.

I don't want to lose you either.

Do we have the energy
to go further today?

-What? Are you getting tired?
-No, no. I'm thinking of you.

-How do you feel?
-I'm thinking about the girl.

I don't think he'll get much further
and we'll have to make camp soon.

-Just a bit further.
-Yes.

Lucky you brought a tent.

What are you talking about?
I always carry a tent.

Ah. Great.

When I have company, anyway.

Do you always have company
in the mountain?

Tell me the truth, Rim.

So, what?
Is it cheers, thanks, bye, then?

You think Kerstin would
let me go so fast?

No, I think she'll be disappointed,
and then you'll be out of there.

-Do you think I'm a coward?
-I just want you to stay.

I know.

Ronja? Can I have another
gin and tonic, please?

-Me too, please and one of these.
-Thank you!

What the hell! Hey!

-So nice to see you! Welcome back!
-Thanks.

Hey.

-Hey.
-Zara.

Karin.

Zara's the new specialist at HC.

Or, not so new.
She's been here awhile now.

How nice.

-Welcome, then.
-Thanks.

-Have you been here long?
-It was just before Midsommar, right?

Yeah, around Midsommar.

I'm Markus' wife. I've been running
our pubs in Gotland over summer.

Yeah, I hear it's busy down there.

Yeah, it's different from here,
but it's...

I'm sure we'll get things rolling
here, too, so...

-It'll be good.
-We're just going to have some food.

You should come by sometime.

-Yeah, I'd love to.
-The kids miss you.

Yeah, I miss them too.

Ronja? The food.
The food.

-Oh, it's coming in a second.
-Great, thank you.

I'll go out and wait.

-Nice to see you.
-You too. Nice to meet you.

You too.

Thank you.

Bye!

-Good night.
-Good night.

Bloody hell.

I can't make anything work.

It's been so hard
since we moved here.

I was a fucking enabler.

So fucking stupid.

I did everything I could to protect
Kevin and it all went to hell.

So fucking tragic.

I've just been focusing on
getting through it.

All of my focus.

I can't do anything else.

You have gotten through it.

I just want to say that I like you...

A lot.

And I like you.

You're so great with Kevin.

You're a wonderful mother.

Thank you.

You can't be so hard on yourself.

What you've been through...
What you've done...

It's... There's nothing that...

What you've done for Kevin,
how you've fought... It's not...

You can't be...

Do you know what I mean?

-Good night.
-Good night.

What does he want?

Something's wrong.

Rim? Have you got
a whiff of something? Huh?

Can you show me?

Yeah, it seems like they're close.

-Rim! Stay! Stay!
-Put down your rifle.

Put down the rifle!

Stand totally still,
hands where we can see them.

-Where's Stella?
-She escaped.

You lost her?!

-How long has she been gone?
-All night.

You know how dangerous it can be out
here in just a few minutes, so...

please bring me with you.
You've got the dog and everything.

What do you think?

You've known him longer.

But we have to find the girl.

We'll have to trust him.

Zara?
Kerstin's office when you have time.

-Okay.
-It's important.

Oh?

I wonder what that's about.

I told her you need to talk.

What?

Did you tell her?

I said there are things
you need to sort out.

Thanks for that.

Keep going, keep going.

-See her?
-Yeah, she's there.

Hey.

Are you okay?

You and I are going up there.

And you need one of these.

Hmm? Come on.

Okay. There.

54-10.

The girl is safe.
Is the helicopter on its way?

Yes, a helicopter is on its way.

There's a landing spot a few
hundred metres from you.

It's not a medical helicopter
with no nurse onboard,

but it can fly the girl straight to
?re HC for examination.

Tomas...

Stop!

Stop!

Get away, fucking dog!

-Rim!
-I'll shoot him!

-Rim!
-Now! Before I shoot it!

-Rim!
-I'll shoot it!

What the fuck are you thinking?

Sit down.

-No.
-?sa...

-Please, sit down!
-I won't let you ruin everything.

Sit. Down.

Think of your daughter!

Come here.

This is so fucking wrong!

-Can you make her shut up?!
-?sa! It's not worth it!

Yes, it is.

My son had to see his father
kill himself with drugs.

He didn't want to hurt his child
either, but that's just what he did!

You know nothing!

Maybe you've seen a lot of
fucked up shit,

that's stayed with you,
but it doesn't matter right now!

Your only job is to look after
your daughter!

Don't you see what you're doing?

I've...

-I've already lost everything that...
-No, you haven't.

But you're about to take it
to a totally new level.

Carita hasn't given up on you.

You'll get help.

Don't you want to see Stella grow up?

Put the gun down now.

It will feel better immediately,
I promise.

Wait.

-Hey.
-Hey.

What's this rubbish I hear
about you going to work in Norway?

It's a very good offer.

From what I understand,
you've already accepted.

The love of your life?

No. Why?

Because that's the only reason
I can accept for you leaving.

No...

Like I said, it's a very good offer.

Rubbish.

You'll be working in an office,
doing administration and such.

I've worked in so many big hospitals,
I know how it is.

You won't have the same
patient contact as you have here.

And your strength
is that patient contact.

Okay. You've never said that before.

I'm sorry.

I was angry at Lennart
for going totally over my head

when I'd worked so hard
on finding candidates.

And then, when he went and died...

Anyway...

I was struggling to let that go.

I know, and I'm sorry.

But you've proved yourself,
over and over again.

I really appreciate you saying that.

But... it is how it is.

But what do you think?

I don't think I'm tough enough
for all the responsibility.

Do you know what I did yesterday?

I x-rayed a man with a cold.

It's not even funny.
I'm totally insane.

This incorrect diagnosis
has made me... very confused.

But it wasn't your
incorrect diagnosis.

-No, but I signed it.
-No, let that go.

You know what? I think this
sounds like a crisis of confidence.

That's healthy. It's got nothing
to do with toughness.

I've had a few really bad months.

-Okay.
-And not only because of Lennart.

I've mishandled everyone,
staff, patients...

Daniel tried to convince me
to privatise HC.

I don't want to. I want to work.

And I think you do too.

Mm.

So I'm asking you to reconsider
just one more time if you can.

I want you to stay here.

But if you choose to leave,

you'll naturally get the best
recommendations, so you know.

And you should also know
that I'm very proud of you.

And Lennart would have been too.

Thank you.

It really means a lot
that you say so.

What the hell!

You little shit,
going and talking to Kerstin.

Yeah, but how did it go?

She said lots of lovely things.

I knew it!
Great! Great that it went well!

-No, it's not great.
-Yeah, of course it is.

No...

I'd decided, and now I don't know
what I'm going to do anymore.

I love you.

I love you too.

When are you coming home?

I don't know, sometime soon.

I love you.

Come, now.

-Hey.
-Hey.

Have you made up your mind?

There's nothing keeping me here
anymore.

You belong here.

Everyone thinks so.

Kerstin actually
said that today too.

Did she? Nice.

If you're getting compliments
from her, well...

That relationship hasn't been great.

Neither has the one with you.

I'm sorry.

I want to be with you
but I don't know how.

Oh, Markus. You want me to stay,
but you can't give me anything.

No, I haven't handled this well,
I know that.

Zara.

Are you totally sure?

I have to go.

Thank you.

Take care.

-I thought you'd gone.
-No.
