Annika Bengtzon: Crime Reporter - Lifetime (Livstid)

I have to buy a new bike.

Why? - The mine was stolen.

Again? Wasn't it locked up? - The third time already at the office.

The third time? - I'll get a battered up one.

For once buy a decent bike now.

I'll go with you. How much do you want to spend on a bicycle?

800 SEK I think. - 800? You really don't care about it?

What are you thinking of ... You're crazy. You just don't want to move.

All units, apparently shots fired at Bondegatan.

1617. We're in the neighbourhood. Do you have a house number?

70 for 1617. You're the closest. The ME is currently somewhere else.

1617, we'll go there. Do you have a house number?

Number 7. No siren.

I know where that is.

Do you know the entry code? - I know someone who lives here.

Did you call? What did you hear?

First shot, then another pair. It sounded like it came from above.

Right over here? Thank you. - Go inside...

Andersson, you guard the stairs. - Go inside and close the door.

This is 1617. - We're outside.

Okay. Bring the tools with you.

Police. Open up.

Julia, it's me, Nina. David?

David, open up.

David Lindholm? You're not supposed to be here.

No, but we were in the neighbourhood.

Break down the door.

1617 for 70. There's one person dead. Gunshot wounds to the head and lower body.

Understood. Stay at the scene.

There should be a boy here as well.

Come here.

Good morning.

Wake up, Kalle.

Good morning, Ellen.

Nina? What happened?

Police and crime expert, David Lindholm, was murdered.

No details were released.

It is unclear how Lindholm was killed and if there's a suspect.

Lindholm gained fame after a hostage taking at a nursery school in Malmö.

He was also featured as an expert in "Crime Map Sweden".

Home and twelve pages.

And pictures of the crime scene, his house, his career.

Patrik's gone to the police for more details.

Annika, you do the personal side. Relationships.

His wife wasn't questioned. - It won't be long.

The on-line version of Bladet casts a lot of aspersions her way.

We're no better. - I'm not the web editor.

I just spoke to them. The police won't say anything.

Go on with it.

The prosecutor may say something. Take a photographer along.

Are you okay? - Yes.

Nothing yet on the boy? - No.

Who's doing the search? - I don't know...

I want to go. - Is it really?

I want to go on searching.

Hi. How are you? - Well, you know.

Great.

How is it you were first on the spot?

Andersson and I were in car 1617. We were the closest.

Of course. It was a coincidence. Just a fluke.

Who wanted to take Julia to the hospital instead of into custody?

I did. - On what grounds?

She may have had internal injuries. She seemed to be in pain.

Good.

Good job, Nina. - The press conference's starting.

Take it easy.

I'm Angela Nilsson, I'm heading the investigation.

Today we arrested someone for the murder of David Lindholm.

The defendant will be arraigned on Sunday.

Considerable evidence was collected on site.

This morning David Lindholm was found dead at his home.

A second victim was taken to the hospital.

But our priority is to find his four year old son, Alexander Lindholm.

Alexander lived in the apartment, but wasn't found.

We're looking for information about Alexander and his whereabouts.

I'll now turn over the floor to the police.

In Sweden, officers are rarely killed.

Here that's seen as an attack on society.

No effort will be spared to resolve this issue quickly.

Today we lost a respected colleague.

David Lindholm was also a well-known public figure.

He was an example for everyone, both inside and outside the police force.

A shot to the head, three in the groin.

Shot in the groin? - I think that's revenge.

Who told you? - Södermalm police.

Patrik, sometimes I think I love you. - The weapon belonged to Julia Lindholm.

She's at the police station as well.

Try to find out more about the shooting, the crime scene.

Who heard what? Did they fight? And I want pictures.

I spoke to Julia's parents. They're shocked, but the father's willing to talk.

Super. When can we speak to Julia? Is she still in the hospital?

I'll find out.

You cover the boy. Where was he? Did he see the murder?

Have they hidden him somewhere? And I want pictures.

Course. - Good. Photos, photos, photos.

It's just unbelievable.

Julia's our only child. Alexander's our only grandchild.

Did you speak to Julia today?

We tried, but we were too busy with all the reporters.

Nina couldn't say much. Only that she was being interrogated.

She wasn't seriously injured. - Nina?

Nina Hoffman. Julia's best friend. She's in the police too.

She's the one who... She was first on the scene.

She worked with Julia? - They met at the police academy.

Did you know David well?

He always worked a lot, but we were proud of our son-in-law.

Were they happy? - We'd never seen anyone happier.

Nina Hoffman? It's Annika Bengtzon of Evening Press.

I wanted to ask you about...

A thorough search will be conducted.

Check the neighbours, shops and along the route to the nursery. Who will?

Fine. Jonsson will give you the details, then you can get started.

Are you Nina Hoffman? - Yes.

I have a job for you. Julia's been taken into custody.

Try to get something from her. - Through an interrogation?

Call it what you want, as long as she talks.

I'd prefer not to. We're friends. - Exactly. Tells us nothing.

Do it for Alexander, Nina.

I want you at the arraignment to answer questions.

I don't want to be involved in the case. - You are already!

Annika, you want the children more often than every week.

That's right. - You don't punish me through them?

Everything is always about you. - I asked you nicely, not for forgiveness.

Silence now. Annika, answer my question.

Yes, I want more time with the children. I've taken care of them for eight years.

Thomas never did anything except iron his tie to impress a counsellor.

And he left them for his mistress. - No, I left you. That's something else.

Who's the most appropriate caregiver?

Sophia and I, we're two adults with permanent jobs...

Or a single workaholic, obsessed with crime?

You're talking bullshit. - I want shared custody.

Was that it? I have a meeting.

Hello, sweetheart.

Mama, not so hard.

Hello, sweetheart.

How are you? - Perfect.

Do you want to see a trick?

With the left.

Hey, that's good, say.

Bladet has the kid on the front page with the hot line number.

Fortunately we have both stories.

Nice work with the grieving father. That scores points.

Is there any news about the boy? - The police are still looking for clues.

They are looking, but they say nothing. - That depends on whom you speak to.

And his wife? - In custody.

Dig into that.

That is the "where and how". Now the why. - I'll get that today from the police.

I want an article about David Lindholm.

The arraignment. - Annika.

Officers mourn. An officer with a heart.

He was a paragon of virtue. - Yes, he was praised.

Like when Thore Skogman died. - He wasn't murdered.

By his own wife. She thought differently about him.

Why does a woman kill her husband? - Self-Defence.

Exactly. Patrik, keep that in mind. - You're not bitter, huh?

Bengtzon's Women's shelter's opened. New identity and everything.

"Take a number".

That was a low blow, even for you.

Julia, I'm...

How are you? - That dirty witch has him.

She's gone into hiding. - Has someone taken Alexander?

Alexander, come out now. It isn't fun anymore.

Who's taken Alexander?

It isn't fun anymore.

Officer, state the charge.

We want to accuse Julia Lindholm of murder.

And ask upon conviction at least two years imprisonment.

We also request Julia Lindholm no be released on bail.

And the defence? - We oppose detention.

There isn't enough evidence to hold Julia Lindholm any longer.

In addition my client claims another woman was in the house that evening.

What does the prosecutor say to that? - There were no signs of forced entry.

So that's highly unlikely. - Your final word?

I repeat my client fully denies the indictment.

But should the request of the prosecution be granted ...

would like my client to be psychologically examined.

Arraignment in Room 8 is open to the public.

Then there's the matter of the accused's son, Alexander Lindholm.

It's possible the disappearance is connected to random events.

But if Alexander Lindholm isn't located quickly ...

I will include murder or the boy's abduction in the indictment.

Calm. Calm down.

Julia Lindholm, sit down.

Calm.

My baby... - Can a nurse come?

Are you Nina Hoffmann?

Annika Bengtzon, Evening Press.

I'd like to talk to you. Do you have time?

Not here.

I knew things weren't going well, but not that it was so bad.

What was it? - She had postnatal depression.

It's like she never got over it.

Or actually it began when she met David.

What was it?

He was manipulative, he controlled her. He wanted to know everything she did.

He was very jealous. Even of our friendship.

Julia and I could never meet without him being there.

After a while she didn't dare do anything without asking him.

Did he hit her? - No, but...

He locked her in the house. Once for an entire week.
