Roslund Hellström: Box 21 (2020–…): Season 1, Episode 4 - Episode #1.4 - full transcript

-I have taken people in hostage.
-Now!

My name is Tobias Nordwall.
I work as a negotiator.

You come to me and we talk.
If you do that, I release them all.

We had no idea we'd end up
in a hostage situation.

If we'd done our job,
it wouldn't have happened.

-Why are you here?
-I wanted to see you.

Good. Now you've seen me.

Here's my card if you need help
with buildings or anything.

-Isn't dad coming?
-He's working late today.

-Three hostages are heading out.
-Wait. That's Sam.

Tobias?



I'm sorry, Lidia.

I have talked to the technicians.
It was a bomb. Simple, but...

-Made by her?
-If it was her...

The acetylene could be
from the hospital.

She bought the canister.

No, she didn't.
She hasn't left the hospital.

Someone must have brought it to her.

Maybe Alina...from the apartment.

We'll check the cameras at
the hospital and see if we find her.

Who is it?

En garde! Allez!

Well done, girls!

En garde! Allez!

-Nice!
-What's happened?



-I saw some stuff online.
-I don't know what to say, Lena.

-I am so sorry.
-No! No, no...

What happened?

He took the place of the hostage.

The hostage taker blew up
herself and Tobias.

I promise to keep you informed, Lena.

But now you have to think about...

Mom?

What's wrong?

Let's go.

There she is. Rewind and pause
where we can see her clearly.

-Can you get a sharper image?
-No.

We'll release this anyway.

The officer that died,
were they a colleague of yours?

What do you know
about the woman?

Ewert! Ewert!

-Grens.
-It's Karlberg. Can you meet me?

-Yes.
-Well, when?

-In an hour.
-Good.

Sam Shirazi?

-That's me. Who are you?
-He's a detective.

I know that you were
down in the morgue.

What happened...with Jochum?

He... He let me go.

Jochum Lang?

Otherwise he wouldn't be here,
would he?

I...promised to leave the country.

I'll give you my number.

If anything happens...call me.

-Even if I'm in Australia?
-Even if you're in Australia.

Thanks.

"Duct tape,

nails, cable ties,

remote trigger."

Well done.

It's from the apartment.

-What are we looking for?
-We won't know until we find it.

Sven?

TEN PEOPLE HELD HOSTAGE
AT A SOCIAL WELFARE CENTER

-You're late.
-What do you want?

I want you to say: "You are done,
Karlberg. You'll never see me again."

You're not done. Sam's alive.

-Jochum called me.
-He lied.

If Sam's alive, Jochum is dead.
When Micke finds out...

You have to keep your mouth shut
about this.

Then maybe you can have
your life back.

Okay, I'm back.

-Hey!
-Hey! Look who's here.

Uncle Sam!

Did they blow up your work, Mom?

I've told you
not to watch the news alone.

-Let's take a selfie.
-With me?

-Yes.
-Okay.

I'm taking your phone now.
Thanks.

Time for bed.
You can play with Sam tomorrow.

Yes, let's go to bed.

Whoever brushes their teeth first
gets...a pair of tweezers.

A Swedish detective
and a female foreign national died.

The motive is unknown,

but the police
are looking for this woman.

She is most likely
a Romanian citizen

and was seen at Orminge Centrum.

You have a client.
It's at their house.

-Where?
-It's a big, fancy house.

-You know what that means.
-I'll get paid well.

He'll pay for a full night.

If you're lucky, he's asleep
within ten minutes. Come on.

Am I supposed to go
without makeup?

Of course not.
Put your makeup on, but hurry up.

-Come on!
-I'm coming!

-Alina!
-I'm coming!

I talked to my mom, Lucian.

She's sick. I have to go home.

Okay.

-I need my passport.
-You'll get it after this job.

Lucian?

-Is this all we've got?
-On Alina, yes.

But we have this too.

It was found in
Lidia and Alina's apartment.

-Okay?
-It's more than a year old.

Why would Lidia have
an old newspaper...in Swedish?

A client must have forgotten it.

And she forgot to throw it out.

She just happens to have an article
about the man she ends up killing?

We don't know that.

A bomb just exploded,
and we don't know how or why.

She knew what she was doing
and to whom.

-What do you mean?
-We've heard what she said.

"I will destroy your life
like you destroyed mine.

I'll let you live
if you tell everyone the truth.

If you lie, you're dead."

She might not be
talking about Tobias.

She might just want revenge
on people in general.

Do you remember how she looked?

-You don't have to show us again.
-I want to.

Look at how she's looking at him.

He was no stranger.
They knew each other.

That's one way to look at it.

It could also be because
she is about to blow herself up.

What happened?

A bad client.

I tried to calm her down,
but she panicked.

-She hit me and ran.
-Where?

I don't know. I'm worried.

She won't find her way back.

Yes, she will. She was
at Central Station the other day.

Oh, yeah?

A couple threw me out
at Central Station. She was there.

I thought she was getting
something for you from the box.

What box?

-Hello.
-Are you Ewert Grens?

-Yes.
-Hi. Sorry for calling so late.

I am Andreea Simionescu
from Bucharest Police.

I heard from the news
about the bombing.

I'm sorry for your colleague.

They said you are head
of the investigation,

and I have some information
about Lidia Amariei.

Good. Can you tell me about
her friend? Alina, something...

I don't know anything about Alina.
But I know I can help you.

How is she?

Don't expect things to change
quickly. It'll wear you out.

Sit with her. Talk to her.

It's the best thing you can do.

The man that died,
he was the one who was here, right?

Your friend.

I'm really sorry.

She fell asleep at five a.m.

And you? Did you get any sleep?

Did you see him?

The funeral home is...

As soon as they are done,
you can see him.

-Will you come with me?
-Of course.

Did you find her?

Her... The female accomplice?

Lena...

Could Tobias have known her?

-Who?
-The hostage taker.

-The prostitute?
-Through work or...

Or privately.

-Do you think he paid for sex?
-No.

He would never do that.

People say you never know.
But I know.

When would he have had time
for that?

He was either at work
or with me and Astrid.

Or with you.

I feel bad for you that you have
to ask me questions like that.

Yes, it's her. She looked a little...

Or... I remember her.
They looked odd.

-They?
-Her and the old man.

-Can you identify the man?
-Yes.

-Here.
-Thanks.

-Grens.
-Ewert. I'm onto something.

-Sigge's Carpentry. I'm going there.
-Pick me up first.

-I'm gonna ask what he remembers.
-I need to see you.

Hi. I need help.

Come in.

Do you wanna take a shower?

There's...towels in the bathroom,
so...

And you can lock from the inside,
so it's okay.

ACCOMPLICE STILL
ON THE LOOSE.

-Hey!
-Shit. You're really stalking me.

-Thanks for the loan.
-Keep it.

-An annoying customer forgot it.
-Come on, Alex.

I know. You want to have coffee.

Okay, Mr Stalker,
let's get some coffee.

-When?
-Now. So we get it out of the way.

-Here?
-Yes. Come on in.

-Do you still take it with milk?
-Yes.

So everything is the same...
in other words.

No. I'm free.

-So you got locked up again?
-Yes.

But it's not that. I met...

You met God.
You've become religious. Is that it?

-No.
-You joined a twelve-step program.

You've met a higher power
and want to apologize to your exes.

-Is that it?
-What? No. I met Sam.

Sam? Which religion is that?

No, he was...
Or...he is a good guy.

He wants a different ending...
if you follow.

-No. How would I follow?
-He wanted to...

change everything.

He could see everything.

-As it was. We only live once, right?
-Yes, that's true.

-How the hell do we want it to end?
-How do you want it to end?

-I want to have a good life.
-Then you have to make it happen.

Exactly.

And I can have that. With you.

I think Isadora Carlsson
is coming soon.

-Can I stay?
-No.

-Why?
-She doesn't want people around

while she's getting a perm.

-Hey...
-Yes?

If I give you my number...
will you call me later?

-Okay?
-You can give me your number.

Okay. Do you have
a piece of paper and a pen?

-No.
-Yes, you do.

-I don't. Do you?
-Stop it. You do.

-Should I get it?
-Please.

Please? Maybe you are
a changed man.

I'll get it right away.

Where's my clothes?

You don't need them anymore.
Come.

Come!

Take what you want. It's jackets,
shoes. It's my daughter's.

I think you have the same size.

-Thanks.
-You helped her?

The woman who blew up
herself and that police officer?

-I didn't know what she was up to.
-So all the things I helped you find

led to this?

I'm sorry.

It's a bit too late for that,
isn't it?

-Get dressed, then you have to leave.
-I can't just walk around.

-If I get caught, I will die.
-Swedish police don't kill people.

No, but my pimp will.
He already tried once.

Okay, but get dressed.
And I'll think of something.

Looks nice. But you can't stay here,
you know that.

I don't want to.
I wanna go home to Romania.

Okay. We fix that.

-Do you need money for the ticket?
-No. But...I don't have my passport.

-Okay. But...do you have an I.D.?
-Yeah.

Yeah? Then you can get...
What's it called?

A temporary passport at the airport.

But I need to get to
the Central Station first.

Why?

-What did you want?
-Yes, what did I want?

You're always straightforward.
You always keep your word.

That's what's most important to me.

Me too.

Hey, there.

Yes...
I was wondering about something.

-Where did you shoot him?
-I didn't shoot him.

I stabbed him to death.

Jochum...

You're one of...
my very few real friends.

You know? Karlberg!
Give the man his dólares.

-I'm going to chill for a while.
-Yeah. You're going to retire.

-And enjoy life with Alexandra.
-Yes, maybe.

That sounds amazing.

That sounds amazing.
But you owe me one more thing.

-Some dignity.
-Dignity?

-How so?
-Why are you lying to me?

-I'm not lying.
-Karlberg must be lying, then.

Is that the case, Karlberg?
Are you lying to me?

No, but I heard a rumor
that turned out to be true.

That your friend, Sam, is alive.

A girl called Hasti
posted it online yesterday.

She wrote: "My uncle, the hero."

The camera doesn't lie.

You were one of my best friends.

I was about to do it...
when the bomb exploded.

-Where they had the hostages?
-And a lot of cops.

They would have caught me.
They could have traced it to you.

-Why did you tell Micke you did it?
-Exactly.

It was wrong. I understand
if you're disappointed.

But it doesn't have to end this way.

On the other hand...

maybe this is the way
it's supposed to end.

You know what?

I'll give you one more chance.
One more chance.

It's your life or Sam's.

This time, you're going to film it.

All the way to the very end.

Where are you?

I'm a ghost! I'm tired.
You're the ghost now, Asal.

There you go. Keep playing.

I'm a ghost!

-I'm a ghost!
-So I heard.

I am a ghost. For real, sis.
If Micke finds out that I'm alive...

-Then you call the police.
-It doesn't work that way.

He can't protect me day and night.

Please...I need 10,000.
Come on, sis.

In the old days, they used
to send the criminals there.

-What are you talking about?
-To Australia. I've told you.

Crocodiles and kangaroos and...

Sorry, sis. I'm gonna be serious.

Please help me.

For the last time.
The very last time.

The...article that you found...

that was very attentive of you.

We have to be thorough
when we investigate a colleague.

Tobias was more than that to you.

I might have felt differently
if I hadn't known him.

But that's not the case.

I know who he was. And the thought
of him paying for sex...

is out of the question.

-What's up?
-We're from the police.

Can we come in?
A police officer has been murdered.

-Murdered?
-We're investigating your part in it.

Yes, I met her there.

She wanted me to help her
find the stuff, so...I did.

I didn't know why she needed it.

Was that the last time you saw her?
At the hardware store?

-Yes.
-Ewert?

Who do these belong to?

-She needed your help, and you...
-It wasn't like that.

How was it?

You're not helping her
by keeping quiet.

She didn't know what the girl
was going to do. Okay?

Alina isn't like that...

You've barely spent
half an hour with her.

If she's innocent, we'll help her.
We need to find her.

She's not hiding from you.
She's hiding from her pimp.

-Lucian.
-He's tried to kill her once before.

That's why she wants
to go back to Romania.

To be safe.

If she's out there, Lucian
can find her. You need to talk.

-Where is she?
-I made a promise.

What about?

Box 21.

I'm here now.

Lucian is on his way to
the luggage lockers.

Police! Stop!

Mariana!

Alina? I'm a police officer!

You and I are going to
the police station.

TOBIAS & LENA FOREVER

It's booked. Your flight leaves
at two p.m. tomorrow.

Thank you, sis. Thanks.

-How much was it?
-Never mind.

How much cash do you need?

-Do you trust me now?
-No.

-A few thousand pounds.
-They use dollars there.

-I'll get it for you.
-Thanks, sis.

Psst!

Come on! You have to come with me.

You don't want anything
to happen here, do you?

Sit down.

I'll be right back.

Hi.

-Sleep well.
-You too.

-Thanks.
-See you tomorrow.

You said that we were going to
the police station.

-I wanna talk to you first.
-Then talk.

-Explain to me how you got this.
-Why?

Because I need to know.

Why would I explain anything to you?

-I can help you.
-How?

You wanna go home? To Romania?

I can get you a passport.

No.

You take me to Romania.
Or you take me to the police station.
