- Hi. - Hi.
Yeah, I'd like to buy some flowers, um...
What kind of flowers are you looking for?
Did you have any specific colours in mind?
No, I mean, just a... I guess a mix, or something.
- Something different? Okay. - Yes, exactly. Different.
I have this bouquet which I've just put together. Some different colours.
- Yeah. - If you like.
- Mm, yeah, I mean... - You like these?
- Yeah, I mean, those'll be fine. - Yeah?
- Perfect. - Okay.

- What do you do, Ro, for a living? - I'm a drama teacher.
- A drama teacher? - Yes, and what about you, then?
- I work here. - Uh, yeah, of course. That was so stupid.

Hey, I've been thinking this is starting to get a bit expensive for you,
with all the flowers and so on.
So I was thinking that it might be cheaper for you
if you were able to ask me to go on a date or something.
[sobbing] It's Ro. She's just disappeared. I don't know where she's gone.
- She didn't come home last night. [sobs] - Oh.
Please, you must be able to help me.
- Okay. Yeah. Have a seat. - [phone ringing]
Um...
Okay.
[sighs]
I don't know. I should never have made her go to that viewing.
Ro didn't want to go to it.
[sniffles]
What are you doing? Could you hurry up, please?
Would you be able to just, you know, take it easy, a little bit?
- No, I can't take it easy. - Yeah. There's no need to stress.
- We're here now. - Okay, but as long as you know.
This could be the last chance we get. [sighs]
OPEN HOUSE
[sighs]
It's not working, no?
- [sighs] - Useless thing.
- Come on, let's take the stairs. - To the top floor, right?
- What? - Is it the top floor?
- It's only a couple of floors. - Come on. We can't live here.
The lift doesn't work. And we have a baby on the way.
[scoffs] It won't always be broken.
My gut just tells me there is something wrong about this.
You say your gut tells you something's off every time we look at a place.
- It's not always. - Come on.
Julia!
- Oh, so Ro wasn't happy about seeing it? - [sniffles] No.
Did she say why? It sounds a bit odd.
- Don't you think? - No.
[knocking at door]
What's going on? What's the problem here?
I don't know where Ro's gone.
How long has she been gone? We have to do something.
Last night. I've called her, texted her, everything, but I've not heard anything.
Could you... could you help us later?
- I'm about to have a chat with Julia. - Yeah.
Yeah, hang on a sec.
Do you think a heavily pregnant woman is the robber?
No, but I think she might know something, and could be able to help us.
There's something about Ro that doesn't add up.
She might know something that's forced her to hide.
And you're about to take this opportunity to question Julia? Knock it off!
Our priority is to look for Ro.
Whether she knows something about the robbery or not.
[sighs]
[thumping]
I think he's left.
Oh, for goodness' sake. Lie down.
Don't go over there. Lie down. Get back!
What is this madhouse? There's a maniac with a gun out there.
Idiots.
Lie down!
He's in the stairwell at the moment.
- Guarding the door from outside instead. - [Roger] Lie down!
[groans]
I really need to eat something.
- [Roger] Lie down, are you insane? - Oh, Ro, how can you think of food now?
I'm hungry. You should eat something as well. Think of the baby.
- [Roger] Lie down. - Do you think I don't do that?
I'm gonna check in the fridge.
- You're not eating from their fridge? - What's wrong?
I think the fridge in there is empty anyway.
Why can't you just be like a normal person?
What did I do?
- [Roger] Sh, sh, sh! - You know what I mean.
There has to be some kind of food in the kitchen.
- [sighs] - [knock at door]
- Hi. - Hi.
- How are you? - Yeah, great.
Hmm.
Ro doesn't want this baby.
- She said that? - Every apartment we've seen was wrong.
It's too big or too small, too expensive or too many floors up.
I don't know. I don't think she can imagine being happy living with us. [sobs]
- Mmm. - [sighs]
- Is it aching down here? - [sobs] Yeah. It is a little.
- Yeah. - Yes.
There?
Here?
[sniffles] Mmm.
[Jim] I'll go to the town centre and see if anyone has seen Ro.
We'll be able to find her.
- [sighs] - [door closes]
Uh, so, Julia, during the viewing, did you get the impression about Ro?
I mean, if she was being strange in any way,
or trying to hide something from you?
- Or something like that? - What? What do you know?
Of what?
[sighs]
Uh... Julia, come on. Come on.
If you know anything, it's incredibly important you straightaway tell me.
- You are aware of that, right? - Mmm.
Okay. [sighs]
I was thinking that Ro...
[breathing shakily]
Yeah?
...has been unfaithful to me.
- Unfaithful? - Yeah, why?
Oh. Oof. Yeah. that's awful. Sorry.
I mean, that's really tough, I'd imagine. Infidelity, that's no fun at all.
But, um... do you have any idea where she could be?
[whimpers]
- [Jim] Have you seen this woman? - No.
- Sorry. - Okay.
- Are you sure? - No.
- You? Have you seen this woman? - [both] No.
- Sorry. - No? Okay. Thank you.
No, sorry.
- Okay, thanks. - Yeah.
Bye.
[phone vibrating]
Roger!
Your mobile.
- Roger! - [door opens]
I don't recognise the number.
This is Roger Bergvall.
[Ro] Uh, hello. It's me.
- Ro. - Oh, hey.
Things are falling apart here. I... I need to talk to you.
I'll come over, don't worry. Yeah, yeah, I'll be there soon.
I'm coming straight there.
Roger, who was that?
Roger?
Where are you going?
- Roger! - [door opens]
- [sighs] - [door closes]
[Jack] I'd like to talk about the other hostages.
Um, so... Did you get any sort of feeling for them?
What was your impression of them?
Anna-Lena was... was nice to talk to. She was pleasant to me.
Mmm. I liked her.
- Mm-hm. - Estelle was... quite bonkers.
Um, sort of... a bit difficult, I guess, but nothing more.
Zarah, she was a bit hard to get close to, but she was also very nice.
Well, Lennart, that... You know, the guy wearing the bunny outfit...
Of course.
We didn't really have much contact, so, um...
no strong opinion of him.
- And what about the others? - What others?
Yeah, it was, uh...
- Wasn't there... - Oh, Roger.
Um... I mean, uh... he was a stupid pain.
He took up so much space, and he was a complete bellend.
- Okay. - I don't know why Anna-Lena's with him.
And there was another one, wasn't there?
Hmm...
No, that was... that was everyone I can remember.
[gasps]
[shudders]
[trickling]
[gasps]
- [gasps] - Oh.
- Oh, no. - Did you just... pee yourself a bit?
- I didn't pee myself. - Okay. Um... Cecilia's not here. No. Um...
Well... Was it the baby... The placenta?
- Or the... the water... - Yeah, my water just broke.
- Okay. Uh... - Not the placenta.
Nothing to worry about. Uh... Ahem.
- Yeah... - Don't stand in it.
- You could slip over. - It's okay.
[jazz playing]
- [clears throat] Hi. - Hi. [sighs]
[Roger sighs and groans]
[Ro sighs]
Uh, Roger, I cannot be a mama.
Aah.
Um... Uh, yep.
♪ A girl like you was made for me ♪
♪ Oh, did you see... ♪
Is... is that why you ran off?
[sighs] Yeah.
Shouldn't you be lying on the floor in the living room with your wife?
Uh... is there any food?
- Lime? - Just limes?
[scoffs]
Who on Earth lives in this apartment, for goodness' sake?
The place is cluttered with stuff,
but the fridge is totally cleared out.
[Roger sighs]
- Huh... - [Ro] What's that?
It's a meal.
[grunts]
Hmm. Hmm.
[retches]
[chuckles] Not so good?
- [laughing] - No.
[runs tap]
I was with another girl when I met Ro.
- Hmm? You were? - Mmm.
Yeah, she was an adventurous girl who always had to experience things.
She had to do bungee jumping,
she was determined to climb mountains and all kinds of things.
Eventually, I thought, "Am I not exciting enough?"
"Am I not special enough for her?"
"Can't we just be bored and do nothing together except wake up?"
Roger's like that, you know.
- What? - No.
[both laugh]
I don't mean he goes bungee jumping, but... No!
I mean...
he always has to have a project.
We can't just be together.
- Or go to the cinema. - What kind of project?
We always have to go to IKEA and buy extension cords or something.
Oh, that's amazing, isn't it?
[both laughing]
[both sigh]
I've always thought it would be easier to live together with someone of...
Someone of the same sex?
- Yes. - Mmm.
I mean, you don't fall in love with a particular sex.
No, you fall in love with an idiot.
[chuckles]
What's so idiotic about Ro?
[sighs]
I don't know. Everything we had was brilliant.
I've been the kind of person who worries too much.
But she makes me feel safe.
Since pregnancy, though, she's just been different.
Off, absent.
I guess I'll just have to be resigned to living like a single mama.
It's not the end of the world.
So, um... How much longer before she, uh...
My wife?
- Yes, uh, before she gives birth? - It's about due.
Phew. Oh, fine.
I don't think I like it here.
Oh, so you're the indecisive type?
No, I don't think I'm the indecisive type,
I just don't wanna make any life decisions
without my papa calling and saying that it's okay.
[sniffs] So, uh... when is he coming round?
He's not coming.
- Huh? - He has dementia.
How awful.
Half of the time, he can't remember who I am,
and the other half, I'm pretty sure that he only pretends so I'm not upset.
But, uh, yeah. He was the most unbelievable papa, so... [sighs]
Mmm. Wow.
[Roger sighs]
Listen up. This apartment, there's nothing wrong with it.
- You said there was mould everywhere. - No, it's not mould.
Some interior surfaces could do with fixing, but really, there's nothing to it.
I don't know how to fix interior surfaces, so it doesn't matter.
I can show you how it's done. There's nothing to it.
What? You're gonna show me, are you? How to fix interior surfaces?
Yeah, I can.
Okay.
Thing is, I'm bloody good at that sort of thing.
- [chuckles] I'd like to see that. - Oh, yeah, you're gonna see it.
- You'd better watch out. - [both laugh]
[sighs] Excuse me, have you seen this woman?
- No, sorry. - Okay. Thank you.
[phone ringing]
- Yeah? - Hi. Have you... have you found Ro, Papa?
No, I'm still looking for her.
- How's Julia? - Uh, the baby's about to be born.
- She's giving birth. Her waters broke. - How far apart are the contractions?
- Get off me!
- How far apart are the contractions? - I've no idea! It just hurts like hell.
- You probably heard... - She must go to hospital.
But what... what do I do?
- Call an ambulance? What? - No. You'll have to...
You'll have to drive to the hospital,
take her to the maternity ward and I'll meet you there.
- We must get going. - Yep. Bye.
- We have to leave. - Yes. I just need to get my jacket.
- Just a sec. Hang on. - Oh, come on! Forget your jacket!
[groans]
Hi.
- [woman] Hi. - Hello there.
- Have you seen this woman? - No. Lou?
Have you? Milou, have you seen her?
Is that the murderer?
Murderer?
Well, the robber. You know what I mean.
No, but it's important that we find her.
- What for, though? - Her wife's at the hospital,
and the baby's coming, so we'll find her!
Oh. Um, Look at the pizzeria.
But how do you become a good parent?
It's important to remember that children aren't as delicate as you might think.
- No? - No, they aren't.
I know, I was the one who stayed at home with the kids when they were young.
- What? - Yeah.
[chuckling] Yes, I'm aware that you must think I'm a dinosaur.
I suppose it must have been a little uncommon back then, that's all.
Yeah, sure, it wasn't common at all for men to remain home, but I did.
Anna-Lena thinks it was a sacrifice on my part, but no, it wasn't.
I loved every last second.
But... what about grandchildren, then?
Hmm. There are those who believe that the Earth is already overpopulated,
and others only think about their careers, so no, not yet.
So, uh... that's why you're renovating, doing up the apartments.
Whatever. I'm sitting here supporting you, and you're accusing me
of having some kind of void in my life, or something, but I don't.
There is absolutely no void in my life.
- No, it's precisely the way I want it. - Okay, sorry. I didn't mean that, so...
Oh, for fuck's sake. What the fuck am I telling you this for?
For God's sake. Everything with Anna-Lena is over,
with the apartments, it's all over.
I mean, who the fuck arranges to have a medieval fuck friend dressed as a bunny
behind their husband's back?
- Who does that? - [chuckles] Yes, that's totally crazy.
- Yes, totally crazy. - But she has to love you very much.
Although she really did do that.
No, she doesn't trust me. That's the deal. She doesn't trust me.
She doesn't think I can get the price down on a bloody apartment
without the help of her hired perverts.
So you think she's doing that because she doesn't trust you?
- That's shame. - Yeah.
But this house renovating, I mean, is it for her sake that you do it,
- or is it for your sake? - It's for our sake. For both of us.
It's important. It's important for both of us.
It's shared, both of our project. Yes, It's her baby as well.
Do you really believe that, do you?
[door opens]
[Jim] Ro!
Oh my God. This day just keeps getting better and better.
Ro...
You really have to come with me.
Hang on. You can't just bloody barge in here
- for no reason... - What are you talking about?
Well, she's entitled to a lawyer.
- She's about to be a mama. Right now. - Shit. Are you serious?
Julia's waters have broken. Come on, now.
Come on, now. We got this. I'm coming with you. Let's go.
- Uh... - Uh, the bill, please. Quickly.
[groaning]
- Uh, you're breathing great, Julia. Great. - [moans]
- How's it going? - It's full on in here.
I thought she was gonna have the baby in the car. I panicked.
Ro, look at me. Look at me.
What is it that you think you won't be able to pull off? Huh?
Huh? Yeah, I get it, you might think it's impossible to be a good parent
after all your papa has managed.
I understand that.
[sighs] But, you know, I have a pretty good checklist for soon to be parents.
- Wanna hear it? - Mmm?
- When the child is born, will you love it? - Yes.
Yes. Check.
[laughs]
Oh, the most important of all the boxes, that one.
Okay. Will you do everything you can to make it feel safe?
- I don't know if I'll be able to do that. - Of course you can.
If the baby's worried, you just pick it up to start with.
Stroke it and cuddle it, that's all.
Keep it in your arms. You can handle that, right?
- Yeah. - Okay, check. Brilliant.
There's only one box left now.
Will you tell stories and sing songs,
and then say, "Everything will be better tomorrow"?
- Yeah. - Great. Check. There you go.
You've ticked all of the boxes. Easy.
Congratulations. That's the bloody jackpot as a mama.
I knew you'd do it. You're gonna be an A-plus level mama.
- Everything will be more than fine. - Julia might not think so.
Listen, that's all she talked about the entire trip over here.
"Where is Ro? The baby can't come before Ro gets here."
She talked about you non-stop.
[Roger] There you go.
You've got this. Go on in. There. You'll be just fine.
Come on.
It'll be all right.
Be strong.
[Julia whimpering]
- [doctor] This will go just fine, Julia. - [Julia] Okay. [sighs]
Now, we're gonna prepare for the epidural.
- [Julia sighs] - I'll call the anaesthetist. Yep. Good.
- We'll be right back. - Hello, you must be Ro.
- Yes. - Come in. Welcome.
- Hi. - Hi.
- [sighs] - Hey.
Hi. Hi. Hi.
- Forgive me, Julia. - [sighs]
- Julia. I love you very much. - [whimpering]
Very much.
You're gonna be a great mama, and I will do my best. I really will.
[groans]
I know I will take care of this baby the best I can.
I'm gonna sing songs and read fairy tales, and, you know, I'll do all these things.
- [sighs] - We'll do it.
- I'm really gonna be there for you, too... - Ro!
- Yes? - [groans]
[breathing shakily]
I love you so much too.
But if you don't shut up right now, I probably will slap you.
- Of course. I can go, if you want. - No, hold my hand.
[whimpers]
[wails]
- Are you staying here? - Absolutely. I'll be right here.
All right.
- See you later. - Bye.
[Jack] Shit, I've never been so scared.
- I'm all shaky. - [Jim] Yeah, I understand.
- [Jack] I understand the idea... - [JIm] These things are never easy.
Must be hard to go through.
[dog barking in distance]
[door opens]
- Roger? - [door closes]
Where have you been?
I've been at the hospital with Ro and Julia. Their baby's just been born.
- It's a little boy. - Oh!
Be good to send flowers to them both.
I wanna ask you a question, and...
God help us if you lie to me, though.
Do you enjoy the renovating that we do?
Of course I do, yes. It's always been something that we-
Come on. Stop lying. Is that what we've... we've become?
Two people, people who lie to each other?
No. I don't like the apartment renovating.
[sighs] Okay.
[sighs]
If you had to choose right now, would you even want to visit IKEA now?
- No. - [chuckles]
[sobs]
Ow. Fuck.
Why have you never said anything?
Because it makes you so happy to go to IKEA.
- And I love making you happy. - What do you enjoy, though?
Oh...
I've no idea. It doesn't matter.
That's enough. How bloody selfish can one man be?
We could go and do anything you want to.
[sniffles and sighs]
Maybe the cinema, but that's not important, Roger.
Fetch a newspaper. We'll see if they're showing anything you'd like to see.
- Now? - Yeah, why not?
We can be there in a minute. Catch the nine o'clock if you want to.
[gasps]
[sobbing] Yes, please.
- Do you want to? - Yes!
[sobbing]
- [Roger] Mmm. - [sniffles]
- Oh... - Ah. That hurts.
Oh, sorry!
You know what? We could see a romantic drama if you want.
[laughing] No!
- Yeah, let's do it. - No!
- Let's go and see a romantic film. - [sobs]
Huh.
Papa?
I've got it.
The estate agent, Maria, is never mentioned by anyone.
Oredsson? What's your point?
Well, none of the others has ever said anything about the estate agent.
Everybody just talks about these seven people plus the robber.
But it was eight in total, remember, who came out.
- It has to be her. - But why would she be involved?
She has a motive. The money.
The estate agency hasn't sold a single place in the past six months.
Unless I'm remembering incorrectly, her personal finances are shot.
- Yeah. - She is the robber,
and she snuck out among the others.
- [Jim] You all right? - Yeah.
[Cecilia] They said that they're coming out now.
- [Jim] There you go. - Can we...
[Cecilia] We'll have to check you out.
