Stockholm (2018) Movie Script
1
[Kaj] What is it?
[Bianca] I don't really know.
I just...
I can't stop thinking about
what happened with us.
-Do you know what they call it?
-[Kaj] Mm-mm.
[Bianca] Stockholm Syndrome.
[Kaj] What do you
gotta do to get that?
Be kidnapped?
-Held hostage or something?
-[Bianca] Yeah.
[Kaj] And then what?
[Bianca] Then you
fall for your captor.
So they say.
('New Morning' by Bob Dylan)
(gulls squawking)
Can't you hear that
Rooster crowing
Rabbit runnin' down
across the road
Underneath the bridge...
My name is Kaj Hansson.
My name is Kaj Hansson.
So happy just
to see you smile
Underneath the sky of blue
On this new morning...
-(lid pops)
-(pills rattling)
New morning
On this new morning
With you...
Pow!
I'm the outlaw.
Can't you hear
that motor turnin'?
Automobile comin' into style
Comin' down the road
for a country mile or two
So happy just
to see you smile
Underneath this sky of blue
On this new morning...
[Kaj] When we get
over this bridge, man,
hang a left, will ya?
Are you here for
the rock festival?
New morning with you
The night passed
away So quickly
It always does
when you're with me...
(children laughing)
Can't you feel
that sun a-shinin'
Ground hog runnin'
by the country stream
This must be the day
That all of my
dreams come true
So happy just to be alive
Underneath this sky of blue
On this new morning...
[Kaj] Hold on,
hold on, hold on.
-Oh.
-Let me get that for you.
-Thank you, son.
-Uh-huh.
Ooh.
(people chattering)
[Teller] Is that
all of your deposits?
[Customer] Yes, and I would
like a monthly statement.
(radio bangs on counter)
Let's see here.
Cock this bastard.
-(machine gun clacks)
-And whoooo-aaahh!
-Giddy-up! Whoo!
-(machine gun firing)
Get on the ground!
You, you, on the ground!
(customers crying and screaming)
(upbeat '60s rock music
plays on radio)
The party has begun.
Alright. You, stand up.
Stand up, huh?
Tie her up, tie her up,
hands and feet.
What are...what are you doing?
What are you doing?
What the fuck
are you doing? Huh? Huh?!
Did you just
set off the alarm?
Did you just set off the alarm?
Yes.
That's very good.
Now sit down. Sit down.
(phone clangs)
Call the Chief of Police, OK?
-Do you understand me?
-Yes.
-Alright.
-[Woman] Help!
-What, what? Who said that?
-(woman screams)
-What's wrong, what's wrong?
-(customers screaming)
Oh, come on! Where's...
where's the bank manager?
Who's the bank manager?
-Davin?
-[Kaj] Davin!
-[Davin] Has she been shot?
-[Kaj] No, she hasn't been shot!
She's obviously got
a muscle cramp or something.
Get her a banana and get
everybody out of here!
-Come on! Go! Go, go!
-(customers exclaiming)
-Go! Yes, go!
-Please stand.
Slowly make your
way to the exits.
Remain calm. Please, please.
[Kaj] Did you get him
on the line?
-W-waiting.
-You're waiting?
-(phone ringing)
-Here we are. (chuckles)
It's all for a good cause,
ladies, huh?
-Chief, there's an emer...
-Hold that bloody thought!
-There, ah?
-(camera clicks)
An American with a machine gun
has taken over Kreditbank.
-Kreditbank?
-(camera clicks)
[Bianca] This is Bianca Lind
at Kreditbank.
Um, there...there's
an American with a big gun.
[Kaj] Yeah, yeah.
Is anyone else hurt there?
-My colleague is tied up and...
-No, No.
-Ask him what he wants?
-He's asking what you want.
Tell him I want him right now,
I want him here in 10 minutes
or I shoot you in the face,
then hang up - tell him that.
He wants you here in 10 minutes
or he shoots me in the face.
(phone clacks)
('60s rock music
continues on radio)
Was he surprised? I mean,
did he sound surprised?
I mean, fuck, right?
I just robbed
the biggest bank in Sweden.
I mean... (chuckles)
he's gonna be surprised.
(chewing)
Eck.
(Kaj exhales)
What do you want?
Tie her up.
(woman whimpers)
Oh, please.
-Please, I have children.
-[Kaj] Uh, stop.
Do not fuck with me. OK?
Behind the back. Tie her
hands up behind the back.
Do not give me those eyes.
Come on, get outta here!
I'm done with you.
You two, yeah, go, go, go, go!
-(customers whimpering)
-[Woman] We're OK!
-[Man] Police! Police!
-[Woman 2] He has a gun!
There's.. there's
a crazy man in there!
(police sirens wailing)
(crowd murmuring)
(Bianca sighs)
(radio tuning)
[Announcer] Our Social
Democratic Prime Minister
Olof Palme is a fierce
critic of Nixon and Vietnam...
-(radio tuning)
-(laid-back country music plays)
-(gunshot)
-(people screaming)
Arggh!
(woman crying)
[Kaj] Ah, hey, stop! Freeze!
What is wrong with you?!
You could have
taken her head off!
-Any more of you, huh?
-No, easy, easy.
-Tough guy, huh?
-Easy.
You are so lucky I don't
blow your brains out!
-Goddamn!
-[Vinter] Hey, just relax!
Oh, I'm gonna get...
Sit down, sit down!
Get in there. Sit down.
[Vinter] OK, OK, whoa.
Sit down!
You see that? I shot the gun,
boom, right out of his hand!
Hah! Right there.
(woman whimpering)
Now you have to
stop crying, OK?
It's making me
really, really nervous.
You gotta sit down right...
right in that chair, OK?
OK, I'll sit here
and keep my eyes on the door.
OK.
Where's my hat?
Get my hat.
It's right over there.
Yeah. Thank you.
Give me the radio too.
Let's have some music.
Oh, yeah,
just sit it right there.
Now get outta here.
You get the fuck outta here.
(turns up volume, exhales)
[Bob Dylan] The love that
a stranger might receive
You cast your spell
and I went under
I find it so difficult...
[Dispatcher on radio]
The Chief has arrived.
[Kaj] It is on now.
I got an idea. Let me see
the walkie. Come on.
Where's the walkie?
Hmm? Come on.
OK, here, take it. Sing into it.
What, you don't like Dylan? Huh?
What kind of cop
doesn't like Dylan?
What kind of person
doesn't like Dylan? Sing!
If there's a poor boy
on the street
Then let him have my seat
'Cause tonight I'll be
stayin' here with you...
[Kaj on radio] Nice.
Now we're getting somewhere.
Bloody Americans.
Why can't they just stay home?
Set up on
the second floor. Let's go.
We're gonna use
the bank offices.
(indistinct chatter on radio)
[Mattsson]
Keep moving, gentlemen.
We don't have time
to waste. That's it.
(police sirens blaring)
-[Officer] Keep back, please.
-[Woman] Who's in there?
-(crowd murmuring)
-(indistinct chatter on speaker)
(clears throat) The first ever
hostage crisis in Sweden.
-Are we live?
-[Cameraman] We're live.
(door creaks and clangs shut)
[Kaj] Alright, everybody.
[Mattsson]
This is Chief Mattsson.
-[Kaj] Get down, get down.
-[Mattsson] Coming out.
[Kaj] Down.
You better not be armed!
[Mattsson] No, no, not armed.
What's your name?
You can call me...
...the Outlaw, huh?
Remember the Alamo.
Whoo!
You alright, Halsten?
What happened?
[Kaj] Oh, are you
worried about the cop?
How about that, you guys, huh?
First thing he wants to know
is how the cop is!
Don't worry about him!
Get outta here.
We're done with you now.
Get outta here, huh.
Go on. Beat it. Beat it.
You heard me.
Oh, God, we're done with you.
Get to the hospital.
I'm not leaving.
[Kaj] Hey! You guys
having a drink or what?
You wanna talk to him or me?
I would like to
talk with Ms Lind.
Is she here?
Yeah, she's fine.
Stand up, stand up.
[Mattsson] Is that you?
Where are the others?
I'm doing the talking.
Alright?
Bring me Gunnar Sorensson.
Now.
Gunnar Sorensson?
That's right,
from Kalmar Prison.
We can't do that.
Let me tell you what you
can and cannot do, alright?
Listen to me.
Just walk, just walk.
Alright. Nice and easy.
Get down. On your knees,
on your knees.
Bring me
Gunnar Sorensson by 3pm
or I'm gonna shoot
her in the head, OK?
-[Mattsson] Whoa, whoa, cowboy.
-What?
You don't want to do that.
You don't want to hurt her.
Now, you've come to a bank.
You want money.
That's right, money. Right.
I want one million
US dollars, unmarked.
-You hear me?
-[Mattsson] American?
-That'll take some time to...
-And I want two pistols.
And a getaway car
and bulletproof vests
for the hostages too.
That's a little one-sided.
And who is this hostage?
Just you, cowboy?
Me and Gunnar! You get it?
We will let the ladies go
when it's over, when we're free.
I will talk with the Ministry.
Give us a few hours.
I thought I was talking to
somebody with some authority!
I thought I was talking
to a bank robber.
(chuckling)
[Kaj] Better not see
any cops on this floor, huh?
[Mattsson] We'll be upstairs.
You alright?
Come on.
-[Man] Bring those mics, please.
-(crowd chattering)
(cameras clicking)
Only if you have
a clear shot, right?
Yes, I understand.
[Officer on speaker]
Everybody, behind the line.
Step back, everybody.
(upbeat country music)
How do you know
Gunnar Sorensson?
Oh, everybody
knows Gunnar Sorensson.
He's the greatest bank robber
in the whole world.
(tray clatters)
Didn't he kill someone?
Listen, it's a couple hour
drive from Kalmar, hmm?
I brought us
a cribbage board, some cards.
I don't have any red pegs,
but I have some matchsticks
that we can use.
Alright? Do you play cribbage?
I have to pee.
I don't wanna die.
-Let me take her to a restroom.
-Hey.
Do I look like an idiot?
Have some decency.
OK, I mean, one of you
can go at a time,
but if you don't come back,
I'll shoot the other one.
Come on, Klara. You go.
You go if you have to.
I do, but you go on.
No, I don't trust myself.
Alright, then...
then I'll go first.
Will you untie my hands?
(knife slicing rope)
Now listen.
I just wanna make sure
you come back, OK?
She's not as strong as you.
(ominous music)
(door opens)
Come back now, ya hear?
(ominous music continues)
(breathing heavily)
(whimpering)
Oh...
(sighing)
(water faucet running)
(paper towel rustling)
(ominous music continues)
[Kaj] Did you think
about leaving me?
(siren blaring outside)
-(crowd chattering)
-(car engine rumbling)
(engine stops)
[Jakobsson] OK, come with me.
-[Woman] It's him, it's him!
-[Reporter] Mr Sorensson!
[Reporter 2] Mr Sorensson,
why have you been released?
[Reporter 1] Mr Sorensson,
who is in the bank?
[Jakobsson] He has
nothing to say. Keep moving.
-[Reporter] Mr Sorensson!
-Keep moving.
-Do you have a statement?!
-Why are you here?!
-(laid-back rock music playing)
-[Kaj] Is that a one? OK.
(card slaps)
(mutters)
I'm coming out
with Gunnar Sorensson!
He's agreed
to help us negotiate.
(lowly) Yes, yes, yes.
(whispers) You know this guy?
I'm not sure yet.
Uh, let us have one
hostage for Gunnar, huh?
You keep forgetting
that I am the one
making the demands.
I see Gunnar.
I don't see my car, huh?
Is it you?
(Gunnar chuckles)
Next time I see you,
I want you to be puttin' keys
to a Mustang 302
like Steve McQueen had
in 'Bullitt', understood?
Oh, yeah. I like that movie.
[Kaj] Yeah.
(laid-back rock music continues)
(Kaj shouting) Hah!
I did it! Yeah!
You're free! Hah!
We're set. I've got a boat
for us in Ulvanda.
-We sail tonight.
-You crazy bastard. Kreditbank?
[Kaj] Yeah, like Butch Cassidy
and the Sundance Kid.
[Gunnar] Wait, wait, wait.
Are you on something?
[Kaj] Yeah, why?
You want some? (laughing)
We're surrounded by
every cop in the capital.
You should've told me
you were doing this.
I wanted to surprise you.
-What'd they offer you?
-What do you mean?
-What, they want you to kill me?
-I'd never do that.
Yeah, I know you wouldn't do it,
but what'd they offer you?
-A little money?
-Nothing, nothing.
-Nothing? No?
-No, no.
-Come on.
-I'm a mediator.
-Oh, a mediator.
-Yeah.
That sounds important.
(laughing)
Hey, meet the girls, huh?
Hey, girls!
I want you to meet my best
friend, Gunnar Sorensson.
Bum-ba-da-bum-bum-ba!
(laughing)
Oh, sorry. This is Bianca.
Bianca, Gunnar.
And, um...
-Klara.
-Klara.
-Gunnar, Klara.
-Hi.
And one government-issue pistol.
Look at all this stuff.
[Gunnar] Why did
you bring all this?
[Kaj] Well, in case
we get delayed.
You know, who knows what
we're gonna need, right?
-It's good, right?
-(gun clicks)
What?
You didn't disable the cameras?
[Kaj] No, I didn't think...
You think I should have?
I just thought, you know,
we're not gonna be here
very long, you know?
Where is the tape room?
Down that hall,
by the deposit vault.
I'll check it out.
[Kaj] Alright, well, it's...
I just don't think it's that
big of deal, you know, I mean...
-Where are you going?
-Yeah, right, right.
-You stay with the girls.
-Yeah, yeah, no.
Of course, of course.
I just...
(rock music
continues in distance)
(tape reel whirring)
(indistinct chatter
on speaker outside)
(tape clicks)
(clattering)
Somebody there?
(uneasy music)
(Kaj mimics knife whooshing)
Shit.
Hey. Look what I found.
Who's he?
He was hiding.
-Who are you, huh?!
-I'm Elov.
-You know him?
-[Both] No.
What do you do, man?
-[Kaj] You a cop?
-No. I'm not.
(pants) I worked
on a cruise ship.
A cruise ship?
What, to America?
-[Elov] Yes. Sometimes, yes.
-Oh, right on.
What were you doing
in the supply room?
I beg you, please,
just let me go.
-Well, he's not a cop.
-No.
I'll tell you that.
- I say we let him go.
-[Kaj] Hmm.
We could use another, um...
...another body, you know?
[Vinter] Kaj Hansson escaped
from prison seven months ago
and now he robs a bank
in order to spring
his old bank robber pal,
Gunnar Sorensson.
Chief, a man in the back hall
is demanding to speak with you.
Well, who is it?
[Mattsson]
Mrs Lind's husband is here.
Come over and let...
let you talk to him.
[Gunnar] Don't let them
boss you around.
Yeah, whoa, whoa, whoa!
What do we get, huh?
[Gunnar] Yeah, we're hungry!
[Kaj] Yeah, we could
starve to death
in here waitin'
for this Mustang!
It's coming and...
and we will bring you food.
-And beer.
-[Kaj] Yeah.
Food, beer, cigarettes -
Marlboro Reds.
Yeah, yeah. Slowly.
Bianca, are you OK?
-Are you OK?
-I'm OK.
What are you doing here?
Why are you not with the kids?
Well, I had to come.
I mean...
Go home and make them dinner.
And don't tell them
about.. this.
[Christopher] OK, I won't.
I... When will you be home?
She'll be home tonight
if, uh, beanpole over here
can keep his promises, OK?
-Yeah, listen.
-Whoa.
Let me take her spot.
Ooh! Ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo!
Sounding off like he's got
a pair, huh? (chuckling)
I like that, I like that.
But no.
[Jakobsson]
How about that, Gunnar?
Why don't you come over here
and help us out?
You heard him.
He says no.
I said no. OK?
In case you haven't noticed,
your wife's a fox.
-Hey.
-And you're not, huh? Come on.
No, wait, wait, please.
It won't be long, OK?
Write this down.
Please, write it down.
-OK, give me a... Come on.
- I don't have any.
-Jakobsson.
-OK, I got it.
You take the herring
out of the fridge.
I already de-boned it
so you don't
need to worry about bones for
Martin and Mia when they eat.
-Why are you saying this?
-Because the fish...
So you can cook the fish, OK?
Write this down.
You take a...a tablespoon
of flour onto a plate
and add some salt and pepper,
and then you put the fish in.
-[Christopher] In the plate?
-On the plate.
-And then you turn it over.
-OK.
And you put a spoon
of butter into the pan
and heat it up
until it gets brown.
-The butter gets brown?
-The butter gets brown.
And then you put the fish in
and you fry it for, um,
four or five minutes, not more,
on each side because Mia
doesn't like when it's burned.
- I know.
- And she won't eat it.
So that's important.
Four or five minutes.
And then, uh, the potatoes
I boiled last night.
-So you don't need to do...
-Bianca, Bianca!
I don't know. I...
I love you.
I love you too.
And the lingonberries jam
is in the jar your mom gave us,
the green jar.
It's in the side,
in the door of the fridge.
Um, if I die, you can...
you can live on fish.
You won't die. She won't die!
-She will be home tonight!
-Please don't tell them!
She won't die, as long
as he gives me what I need.
-Please don't tell them!
-I need a Mustang!
-I need unmarked bills!
-Please don't tell Mia!
I need food. I need cigarettes!
You're not helpin' me
at all, Jak!
It's all on its way, Kaj.
Or, excuse me, would
you prefer Mr Hansson?
We know it's you.
Call me whatever
you want, OK?
[Mattsson] Hmm, good.
And you cannot leave
with these hostages.
Ah, yes, we will be taking
the hostages out of here.
No, you can't.
It's Prime Minister's orders.
The car's a death trap
without them.
The car is coming.
You're free to go on your own.
(lowly) You might have
to kill one of them
so we can get out of here.
(Mustang engine rumbling)
(tense music)
(crowd chattering)
[Nixon on TV] Some people,
quite properly appalled
at the abuses that occurred,
will say that
Watergate demonstrates
the bankruptcy of the American
political system...
(knocking on door)
Excuse me, Olof?
[Olof] Not now, please.
I just received a call
from Kaj Hansson at Kreditbank.
(sighs)
He says he'll kill
the hostages, sir.
This whole thing is absurd.
[Olof] Hello?
-Hello, Mr Prime Minister.
-Mr Hansson.
Your Chief of Police says
that you won't let us
leave with the hostages.
That's quite right.
[Kaj] So then you want
to be responsible
for the deaths of
innocent citizens?
No, of course not.
[Kaj] Well, then,
let us leave with them.
That is simply impossible.
Olof...
...I am gonna count to 10
and if you don't agree to let
us leave with the hostages,
then I'm going to kill
Klara, yeah?
So beginning now.
Ten! Nine!
-Eight! Yes!
-No, no, no! No!
-[Olof] Stop that!
-(screaming) No, no!
-Do you agree? Seven!
-(Klara screaming)
-[Bianca] Please, stop it!
-Stop it! Let go of me!
-Don't touch me again!
-No!
-Six! Five! Four!
-You listen to me, Mr Hansson!
Please stop!
You don't wanna do this.
-Hey! Back off! Alright?
-(Klara crying)
Do you agree? Three!
-You stop that! Now!
-Two! One!
-Do you agree?
-Listen to me. Mr Hansson!
-No!
-(gunshot)
(phone thuds)
[Kaj] You have till tomorrow
to change your mind
or one of them dies.
FUCK! Fuck!
(Bianca breathing heavily)
You...
...you coward.
Arggh!
You shut your mouth.
(Bianca whimpering)
[Kai] I thought
they'd cooperate.
You know, I thought
they'd cooperate.
I didn't think
the Prime Minister of Sweden
doesn't give a shit
if they live or die.
I mean, what's that
say about us?
[Gunnar] You know
what they told me?
That you kill a hostage,
they'd get you
a plane out of here.
How crazy is that, man?
-(lid pops)
-No, no, no pills, no.
-[Kaj] No, I gotta.
-No, you need to sleep.
I can't. I can't go to sleep.
This is wide open.
I don't trust the cops.
We can't sleep.
There's a vault
in the back there.
We can sleep in there.
[Klara] I can't
take this anymore.
-[Bianca] Don't worry.
-[Klara] I want go home.
[Bianca] It's gonna be OK.
It's gonna be OK.
[Kaj] Bianca.
You got a key to the vault?
(lid snaps shut)
(gentle guitar music)
(lock clicks)
(door creaks)
[Kaj] Go, go, go.
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
[Gunnar] Get in, in, in.
[Mattsson]
Gunnar Sorensson is here
to help us broker
a peaceful resolution.
And the hostages? Can you
confirm their identities?
[Mattsson] Yes, Elov Eriksson,
Bianca Lind and Klara Mardh.
[Reporter] Has Mr Hansson
harmed any of them?
[Mattsson] Actually,
we spoke half an hour ago
with a gentleman
hiding out in Hawaii
who claims to be
the real Kaj Hansson.
[Reporter]
And what did he say?
[Mattsson] He said
he's gonna sue all of us
for spreading libellous rumours,
said he would never
take hostages.
So if the robber's not
Kaj Hansson, who is it?
Well, we are working on that.
[Reporter] And the girls,
have...have they been harmed?
Yes, and we fear...
...he may rape them.
[Kaj] Bullshit!
Turn that off. Goddamn!
Why would they say that?
Cops lie to get
what they want.
Do I look like a rapist?
[Kaj] If I knew we were gonna
be spending all night here,
I would have brought
your 12-string.
-This guy can play, OK?
-(Gunnar chuckles)
In Kalmar, Gunnar played
beautifully all night long.
Remember, uh, Helsingborg?
-(cork pops)
-At the fair.
-[Gunnar] We used to sing.
-[Kaj] Hmm.
-No, thank you.
-Huh?
We used to knock this Dylan song
out of the park. Remember that?
[Gunnar]
"Tomorrow is a Long Time'.
[Kaj] Ah, yeah.
(singing) If today
was not a crooked highway
If tonight was not
a crooked trail
If tomorrow
wasn't such a long time
Then lonesome would mean
nothing to you at all
Yes, and only if my own
true love was waitin'
If I could hear her
heart a-softly poundin'
Yes, and only if
she was lyin' by me
I'd lie
in my bed once again.
-Nice one.
-(cork pops)
('Tomorrow is a Long Time'
by Bob Dylan)
[Bob Dylan] I can't see
my reflection in the water
I can't speak the sounds
to show no pain
I can't hear the echo
of my footsteps
Or remember the sounds
of my own name
Yes, and only if my own
true love was waitin'
And if I could only hear
her heart a-softly poundin'
Yes, and only
if she was lyin' by me
I'd lied
In my bed...
[Mattsson] Bring the canisters
in here, boys.
(all chattering)
(indistinct chatter on radio)
There's beauty in that
silver singing river
There's beauty
in that rainbow in the sky
But none of these
and nothing else
Can touch the beauty
That I remember
in my true love's eyes
Yes, and only if my own
true love was waitin'
I could only hear her
heart a-softly poundin'
Yes, and only
if she was lyin' by me
Then I'd lie
In my bed once again.
(radio clicking)
(gasping)
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I just... I wanted
to listen to music.
I didn't mean to...
I...I like music.
I liked when
you were singing before.
I had one of them when I was 19.
So, um...so you're
from Helsingborg?
Born there.
Grew up in the states.
-Yeah, yeah, the accent, I...
-[Kaj] Mm-hmm.
I remember I, uh...
...I saw a photo
in Helsingborg's paper
maybe five, six years ago.
That was you, right?
You broke into
an elderly couple's house
and the old man's heart
started acting up.
His wife asked you to
get his heart medicine.
And you did and
you saved his life.
Wasn't me.
When we get out of here,
they're gonna put a transmitter
under the car, right?
They're gonna track us.
But if Gunnar and I could
slip out of the car,
near the cove, and somebody
else drove it up the E4,
just for a couple hours,
that'd give us enough time to...
...sail across the Baltic.
You think you could
do that for me?
-What, me?
-Yeah.
You don't know how to drive?
Yes, yes, I do.
Then you could do it.
No.
Where are you going? What's...
I'm gonna go to France
and take the money.
Gonna get a plastic surgeon.
Start over, you know?
I remember, um,
the Helsingborg robber
had a...a wife.
And a kid.
It was an ex-wife
and a son.
What was the name of
the Helsingborg robber?
That little priss's
name was Lars, OK?
But that's not me.
That's not who I am.
I have a daughter
and a son.
I'd like to see
them again, Lars.
(pensive music)

-Hello?
-[Bianca] Hey, it's me.
-Were you sleeping?
-No.
No, of course not.
[Christopher] Where are you?
Have you been freed?
No, I'm...I'm still
at the bank.
What...what does that mean?
I don't have much time.
I just, um...
I miss Mia
and Martin so much.
I just wanna hear
their voices. I...
I can't really think
about anything else.
-[Christopher] What about me?
-(scoffs)
I'm kidding.
I just got Mia down.
Can you...can you wake her up?
She really needs
to sleep, Bianca.
I know, but...
You didn't tell her, did you?
-You did.
-It's all over the news.
She would have found out.
[Bianca] Christopher, I told
you... I asked you not to.
I'm not as strong as you. I'm...
Can you please just worry about
getting yourself out of there?
Of course, yes.
I'll try harder tomorrow.
[Christopher] I didn't
mean it like that. I'm...
Is he listening?
No.
No, he's not listening.
He's... He let me call.
He didn't have to.
He's not all bad.
What are you saying?
Uh, I just mean
nobody's all bad.
No, but that man is an animal.
-Bianca?
-Yes?
How, um...how did
the fish turn out?
I took a meatloaf
out of the freezer.
It was easier.
Right.
Well, I have to, um...
-Be careful.
-Yeah, good night.
[Lars] How was the fish?
They had meatloaf.
(Lars chuckles)
(pensive music)
(crowd chattering)
[Klara] Bianca, Bianca!
[Lars] What's going on, huh?
(Lars grunting)
What are you two...
what are you two up to, huh?
(Klara whispers) It's my period.
-[Lars] What's going on?
-[Bianca] Uh...
-I need tampons.
-She...she got her period.
-She needs tampons.
-What?
Where are we supposed
to get tampons?
Wha... Don't you have any?
It's way too early.
It's not supposed to come yet.
[Bianca] It's the trauma.
Her body is stressed.
[Gunnar] Huh.
OK, yeah, I see, OK.
-Ask the cops.
-Yeah, I'll...I'll get the cops.
Thank you.
Hey! Emergency!
Emergency! It's Klara! Shit!
[Vinter] Easy, easy! Easy.
What happened?
It's Klara. She's bleeding, man.
You know, we know
you're not Kaj.
Who are you?
Don't worry about that
right now, OK, Kojak?
Alright? We got bigger problems.
-Alright, she's...she's...
-What did you do to her?
[Lars] I didn't do anything,
man! It's her time.
It's...it's...
You know, come on!
I need some...tampons, OK?
Look, we need to check the
health of all of the hostages.
You don't need anything, OK,
except to get Klara
some tampons, OK?
And if you get them, I will
bring everybody out here
and you can give 'em
a clean bill of health.
-Alright?
-Yeah, yeah.
[Lars] OK. Thank you.
[Reporter] We were
supposed to be covering
the Crayfish Festival today,
but as you can see,
media has arrived here
and in the square
from all over Europe.
The police are desperate here
in Central Stockholm.
Authorities have received
over 200 calls
from citizens offering
suggestions to end this crisis.
(footsteps approaching)
[Mattsson] Mrs Lind,
uh, how are you feeling?
Not so good.
I'd like to go home.
[Mattsson] Don't worry,
sweetheart.
We're taking care of everything.
Is that so? You think we should
trust you and your partner?
My dear, dear girl,
you are not thinking straight.
[Lars] Hey,
don't patronise her, OK?
We've had enough of that,
all of us.
Don't listen to him.
[Lars] You see,
everybody's fine.
Alright, we just
need the tampons,
we need the bag that
hopefully has the vests in it
and you have to convince
the Prime Minister
to let us leave today
or somebody dies.
I'm trying.
[Lars] OK, come on.
Go get us some breakfast now,
it's taken so long. Alright?
Our deal is expiring soon.
You shut up about the deal.
(Vinter sighs)
Do you see how cosy they are,
the way they speak to us?
Yeah, yeah.
(phone ringing)
Pick it up.
-Me?
-Yeah. Pick it up.
('60s rock music playing)
Hello?
I am Vincent Oberg
with Sveriges Television
outside the Kreditbank.
-Who's this?
-Uh, this is Bianca Lind.
-[Lars] Who is it?
-It's a journalist.
[Vincent] Mrs Lind, Vincent
Oberg, Sveriges Television.
Yeah, you just said that.
All of Sweden
would like to know,
what is it like being stuck
in there with those criminals?
It's not too bad.
We want to leave with them.
-[Vincent] With the robbers?
-[Bianca] That's correct.
[Vincent] But why?
I...I don't understand.
-'Cause we want to live.
-[Vincent] Sure.
But.. but you trust them?
[Bianca] More than
we trust our police.
[Vincent]
Why haven't you left, then?
[Bianca] Because
our own Prime Minister
refuses to let us go.
He doesn't seem to care.
[Vincent] You think
this is political?
Could you connect me
to Vincent Oberg, thank you.
[Bianca]
Everything is political.
[Vincent] But surely the Prime
Minister cares about your life.
The Prime Minister's
on line two.
I'll patch him into
the switchboard.
-Hang up. That's it.
-That's all I have to say.
[Vincent] Hold on,
Mrs Lind? Hold on.
I have the Prime Minister
on the line.
Sir, you're live with Mrs Lind.
[Mattsson] You hear this?
-[Olof] Hello?
-[Bianca] Hello?
[Olof] Mrs Lind,
I've been listening.
It's not that simple.
Mr Prime Minister, it is.
If you let us go, we might live.
If the police don't interfere,
nobody will get hurt
and we will survive.
You can save our lives.
[Olof] And the
best way to do that
is not to let 'em out
on the roads with you.
But we are willing
to take that risk.
I wish that would
make a difference,
but as Prime Minister,
I'm responsible
for all the Swedish people.
[Mattsson] Exactly.
But all the Swedish people
are not in here.
We are trapped in here. We.
And...and if the police
comes in
and they start shooting,
he will shoot back,
and then nobody will survive.
We live in an orderly society.
One should not be able
through violent methods
to do such things.
He's not violent.
And this is not the time
to talk about this society.
I am violent! Hey!
Did you hear what
I said last night?
-[Olof] Now you listen to me.
-[Lars] OK?
If I'm not allowed to
leave here right now,
one of these hostages
is going to die.
-[Olof] Please, stop it.
-Alright?
And if it's Mrs Lind,
I hope you have the guts
to walk over to her house
and look her small son and
her small daughter in the eyes
and say that
you did the right thing.
-(phone slams)
- I got an idea. Come here.
-[Bianca] What?
- I got an idea.
Give me your pistol,
I need the pistol.
-Why?
-Give it to me, here. Hey!
Let her go, alright? Go.
Where are you
taking her, man?
Where are you going?!
OK, OK.
You wanna see your
kids again, right?
-Yes, of course.
-Right, OK.
I gotta kill someone, right?
I mean, I've got to.
-And I think it should be you.
-What?
You know, they will never let
any of us out of here alive
if they don't believe
that I killed somebody, OK?
So think.
So you wanna...
you wanna shoot me?
Yeah, I... | wanna
put this vest on you.
OK, you understand?
I'm gonna go out there
by the stairs with you.
I'm gonna...I'm gonna
pretend to negotiate.
We'll have a given signal, OK?
You try to run, I shoot,
up close at an angle, alright?
It'll hurt.
It'll hurt a lot.
But you won't die.
Have you done this before?
Gunnar has.
He did it a few years ago.
Now listen,
if you're too scared,
I'm just gonna make Elov do it.
I am not too scared.
It's just you are so much
more valuable than he is.
You're a woman, you're a mother.
You're extremely valuable.
Alright, the only
part I don't like
is then we're gonna have to
leave without you, alright?
I'll take Klara, I'll take Elov.
We'll get in the car, we'll go.
The cops will come in,
they'll find you
and they'll just take you
straight home to your children.
So...
...you and the others
will survive
and I can go home?
(sighs)
Do you belong to
the Swedish Church?
Yeah. I do. I...
Dear God, who holds
his children dear.
Look to me, as little as I am.
My fate is in your hands.
(gentle music)
-Bianca.
-Yes?
Bianca, that'll be our signal.
I'll say your name.
And then you'll run
and I'll fire.
OK?
Hey! Pigs!
Come on out!
Alright, alright.
Listen to me. I'm done.
OK, I'm done.
One of two things is
gonna happen right now.
You're gonna get me my car
and my unmarked bills
and I'm gonna drive outta here
or I am gonna Kill this woman.
-You understand?
-Oh, relax.
You're not going
to shoot anyone.
-[Lars] Oh, really?
-We know who you are now.
You are the Helsingborg robber,
Lars Nystrom.
Ah, you're a big softie.
Maybe even a bit of a queer.
I'm not queer, asshole!
It makes sense with the...
the long hair...
-Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!
-Yeah, Bianca can feel it.
-No! You don't talk to Bianca!
-Bianca, look at me.
- I talk to Bianca! No! No!
- Bianca, look over here.
[Bianca] Ah!
Oh! Shit!
-[Elov] What's going on?
-[Gunnar] Shut up. Lars?!
(grunts)
Ohh...
Oh, fuck! Oh!
Shit. (grunts)
Vinter...how could
I be so bloody wrong?
[Lars] Gunnar!
-Sit, sit.
-[Lars] Gunnar!
Shit...
-(Klara gasping)
-[Gunnar] Oh, my God.
-[Lars] Shit.
-[Gunnar] What happened?
-[Lars] Oh, shit.
-[Gunnar] Huh?
-What happened, man?
-She tried to escape, OK?
She tried to escape and I...
I shot her. I... I...
-You shot her?
-Accidentally.
I... I---
You're insane!
You come in here
and you kill an unarmed woman!
Shut up! Get back, back!
-(head thumping)
-Sit down!
Oh, fuck.
(ominous music)
(Klara crying)
(helicopter whirring)
10 minutes ago,
we heard more gunfire
inside the Kreditbank.
Chief Mattsson
has confirmed that
one of the hostages,
Mrs Bianca Lind,
has been killed by Lars Nystrom.
Did her bizarre trust
in him lead to her death?
And why are authorities
loading tear gas into the bank?
They are growing desperate
to end this ordeal,
but they must now await
Prime Minister Palme's approval
to let Nystrom leave
with the remaining hostages.
I'm Vincent Oberg,
live from Central Stockholm.
-(thudding)
-They're buying for time.
They're gonna drill
a hole through the ceiling
and then they're gonna
give us the tear gas.
No, don't worry. There's
solid concrete up there.
Did I ever tell you
about my buddy, Pete?
-Pete Noonan?
-Who?
My Vietnam Navy buddy?
Got exposed to that gas.
90 seconds, scrambled his brain.
I mean, he's
a babbling idiot now.
(tense music)
[Jakobsson] Yep.
(rattling inside wall)
What is that?
(rattling continues)
You hear that?
Yeah, I hear it. What is it?
[Gunnar] I don't know.
Get in here,
get in here. Both of you.
(chair scraping)
(rattling continues)
[Lars] What is it?
You see anything?
(whispers) A microphone.
(whispers)
A microphone? Let me see.
What do you mean?
(low whisper) Outside.
[Lars] Come here, come.
(Bianca groaning)
[Gunnar] Wait in here.
(Bianca groaning)
(Lars whispers) You're alive.
Oh, my God.
I thought you were dead.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
-Come here, come here.
-(Bianca groaning) Oh, fuck.
Let me see you.
-Oh, God, oh...
-(Bianca panting)
It just went black
when I hit the floor.
Shh, shh.
(whispers) They slipped
a microphone in here.
They're listening.
We have to be quiet.
[Gunnar] They think
we don't know.
So now we talk
for the microphone,
try to get everyone out.
When he gets here,
we'll figure out what to say.
We need to speak loudly...
-(Elov gasping)
-What the fuck?
[Elov] Shit!
What's going on?
Well, it's the same thing
you did, man. Same thing.
-Careful, careful, careful!
-(Bianca groaning)
-Careful, careful.
-Sorry, sorry.
-Careful, careful, careful.
-(Bianca cries)
[Gunnar] I don't understand.
I pulled the same
stunt that you did.
-At...at the Goteborg robbery?
-What?
When you shot Joelle
and he had the vest on.
-You fooled everybody.
-What are you talking about?
-She's got a vest on.
-What?
-I...I told you that?
-Yeah.
-You believed that story?
-That didn't happen?
Of course not.
(sighs) I mean, nice play, Lars.
It's risky,
but it's fucking crazy, man.
I mean, how...how could you
not know she wasn't dead?
Well, I was... I don't know.
[Elov] It's just
a little bruise.
-I got scared, man.
-You got scared?
[Gunnar] Listen, here's the
plan, OK? There's a microphone.
We can go in there,
we can say whatever we want,
but they have to believe
that Bianca is dead.
(scoffs and sighs)
-[Klara] It's OK.
-I need ice and painkillers.
[Gunnar] Ice and pain killers?
(sighs) You jerk.
-Chief?
-[Mattsson] Hmm?
They're back in the vault.
[Klara] Ice and
painkillers help
at this time of the month.
I'm...I'm really hungry.
Quit your bitchin'
or I'll kill you too!
(upbeat country music playing)
[Mattsson on phone]
Yeah, yeah, Mattsson here.
Chief Mattsson, now you've
got one dead hostage.
You want another or you gonna
let us drive out of here?
[Mattsson] I have
the authority to let you
leave here first thing
in the morning.
-No.
-Put Gunnar on the line.
[Lars] I'm not gonna
put Gunnar on the line.
You can talk to me.
I'm in charge!
This is Gunnar.
How are the others?
The others?
Klara's scared.
She's got cramps.
[Mattsson] We can
send down a doctor.
We don't need a doctor.
We need ice and painkillers.
-[Lars] And food.
-And food.
-[Gunnar] And cigarettes.
- I have cigarettes.
(phone clacks on receiver)
You want one?
[whispers] You're not allowed
to smoke in the vault.
Well, Klara,
this is my vault now.
And we smoke...
...if I say we smoke.
"Cause I'm in charge.
(upbeat country music continues)
Now, the only food
we have is one pear.
And, no, you can't have any,
so don't even ask.
You want some food?
You ask the cops.
Start beggin' the cops.
No, and you don't get any.
Yum, yum, yum.
[Lars] Boy, this pear
is delicious.
-Huh, Gunnar?
-[Mattsson] Something's wrong.
(headphones clatter)
(whispers) Thank you.
Ah, it's better that
he underestimates me.
(slow blues music playing)
[Klara] I don't know.
That's how it starts?
Yeah.
Steve McQueen works
at this machine shop.
When he gets out of jail,
he robs a bank.
That's such a good movie.
I saw it three times.
Have you seen it?
You look like Ali MacGraw.
They...they let you
watch movies in prison?
-[Lars] Oh, yeah.
-Yeah.
They let you see
prostitutes in prison.
Yeah, well, if you
get the conjugal room.
They give you a couch.
[Elov] What, do you
have to pay them?
That's pretty much
how prostitution works.
-(Lars laughing)
-[Elov] Well, I know that.
I was just saying, you know?
(bluesy country music playing)
How'd you know...
(footsteps clacking on floor)
Deep in your heart
I'd give on up...
Fuck!
-Why wouldn't you call, man?!
-I'm bringing supplies.
What is your problem?
What if I freaked out?!
-Just relax, Lars.
-[Lars] Huh?
You know how I found out
who you are?
- I don't give a shit, man.
- Bianca told us.
Before you killed her.
She was just
pretending to like you,
trying to survive.
You know that, right?
Screw you, man.
Screw you.
Oh, a little touchy
about her, are we?
(Lars chuckles)
[Mattsson] Sorensson,
we need to chat.
Why?
A mediator talks
to both sides.
I was hoping
he'd sell you out by now.
He's been lying to you, Lars.
(chuckling)
You trying to
mess with his head?
Well, someone has to.
What happened to
our arrangement?
Look, I didn't
know it was Lars then.
Oh, don't tell me
he's your best friend.
You're the only one
you care about.
End this before dark
or you will have the
same sentence as Lars.
(tense music)
[Lars] What's up?
Hey, what's going on?
-We cool?
-[Gunnar] Yeah.
-Yeah.
-Are you two alright?
No, we're still
starving and tired.
Just let us
leave with them.
They need to wear those vests.
You have all of them?
I see.
[Lars] Hey, look,
you wanna be concerned,
get us keys to the Mustang.
-Oh, yeah. Here.
-No, no, no!
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Come on, man.
We don't need you in here.
Back up and toss 'em.
Huh, just toss them.
-Hey!
-(grunts)
-(lock clangs)
-[Lars] Hey! Open the door!
Did you know
he was gonna do that?
-No!
-Did you know he was?
-You are crazy, man.
-Were you in on this?!
[Gunnar] No,
you heard what I said.
-Fuck! You are an asshole!
-Everyone to the vault.
You alright? You OK?
(gasping) I need...
I need the painkillers.
Klara needs her painkillers.
Oh, no.
There's...there's
no painkillers.
There's no food. It's just ice.
(tense music)
[Mattsson] Go to the vault.
Move, move, move, move!
Cover the vault!
Now hold your positions.
Await my orders.
-They're in position.
-(guns clicking)
Do not lower your weapons!
[Vincent] The crisis here
has grown stranger still,
almost like an American movie.
The police are threatening force
and the international
media are baffled
by the irrational
behaviour of the hostages.
Psychiatrists are now
advising the police
that the hostages
may be brainwashed.
[Lars] Everybody,
open your mouths.
Hands over your ears.
(metallic click)
-Here we go.
-(lighter clicks)
(fuse fizzing)
(exclaims in foreign language)
(boom)
-[Jakobsson] Jesus!
-[Man] What was that?
[Vinter] Our audio's gone.
[Jakobsson] We've
lost the audio, yeah?
-Is that it?
-[Man] Yeah.
[Jakobsson] OK,
he blew up the fucking mic.
[Vinter] Let's get
a camera down there.
-We'll use the same set-up.
-[Mattsson] No, no!
Not until we
penetrate the ceiling.
Increase the drilling for
the next three hours, nonstop!
-OK, Ingemar...
-And then turn up the heat.
-Yes, but...
-Suffocate them.
-Listen to what I'm saying.
-Ingemar.
And then we freeze them,
and then back again.
-On, off, on, off...
-Hang on, Ingemar.
-They're going to get sick, OK?
-On and off.
-What's gotten into you?
-No, no.
It's the hostages I'm thinking
of. They have not eaten or...
If they want our help, they need
to show us some respect!
-All I am saying...
-All they...
Look what they're doing!
Those criminals,
they think they're in charge.
But we are in charge,
so let's turn up the heat.
And when they call us -
they will -
you do not answer
the phones, you hear me?
- Do you hear me?
- I do, Chief.
Then get to it!
OK, you heard him, OK?
The heat goes up. Yeah, go.
(drill blasting)
(drill whirring)
(drill grinding)
(whirring continues)
(grinding)
-(whirring continues)
-This was a bad idea.
What was?
All of it. Everything.
How can you say that?
How could you say that?
They're about to gas us
to death, alright?
And you're taking their side?
If I was on their side...
(grinding)
(rumbling)
If I was on their side,
you would be dead by now!
(all gasp)
(drill powers down)
[Lars] Shit. I'm not gonna
let you gas us to death!
No, Lars! No, no!
(gasping)
Cover the bloody hole!
Get a medic! A medic!
[Lars] No gas! No gas!
No! Lars! No!
Use your head. You kill a cop,
we're all dead.
-You killed a cop.
-I did not.
-Yes, you did.
-That was my idiot partner.
-Oh, my God!
-I'm not so stupid!
You were there!
You got accessory!
I did not pull the trigger!
Not then, anyway.
Oh, yeah?
Is that it? Huh?
-Put it down.
-You put it down.
Put it down.
-You put it...
-[Bianca] Please, stop this.
Please, listen to me.
Please.
Please, stop.
Come on, Gunnar.
(Chuckling) Oh,
that's the way it is, huh?
So either I bust you out
or you turn me in
or you kill me, huh?
It's a win-win for you.
Is that it, huh?
I've been giving you second
chances all your life, Lars.
I know! That is what brothers
do for each other, man!
That is what having
each other's back means!
Look, you don't wanna leave
me with me, I don't wanna go.
Turn me in, turn me in.
I don't care.
-What are they offering you?
-A lot.
-Yeah, how much am I worth, huh?
-I just said, a lot.
Huh? Come on,
put the gun down. Let's fight.
-What?
-Come on, man, let's fight!
Come on, like old times.
Come on!
Put the gun down, let's fight,
then you can turn me in
and I won't even tell everybody
how you've turned into
a little bitch cop
who stabbed me in the back.
Oh, my God.
He's like a child!
-(thud)
-Ohh! (screaming)
(both grunting)
-(grate clangs)
-(Lars groaning)
(both grunting)
[Lars] Arggh!
Stop! Stop!
It's enough. Stop!
Off me!
(both breathing heavily)
[Bianca] It's enough.
It's enough.
It's OK. Do it.
Pull the trigger.
You can go home
and see your Kids.
Please.
Just do it.
-Look who's got both guns now.
-Oh, jes...
Let's just all relax now. Yeah?
Well?
We good?
Oh, we're great, Lars, yeah.
Alright, let's get some rest.
Gotta be alert on those roads.
[Mattsson] I'm very
sorry, Frederick.
(sombre music)
[Lars] Let me see.
Yeah.
It's gonna be OK.
You were...
...you were unbelievably
brave, you know?
Really.
(laughing)
I've never seen
anything like it.
It's incredible.
Yeah, I was very brave.
Lars?
Can I call home?
You can't, no.
I mean, you can't.
Mia...
My daughter probably
thinks I'm dead and...
...and my parents, I...
...I can't even imagine
what they're going through.
You just have to right now,
for a little bit longer.
It's the only way
we're gonna get out of here.
It's the only thing
that makes it worth it, yeah?
[Bianca] OK.
My father wishes I died a
long time ago, you know, so...
-No.
-Yeah, no.
You're better off with... Yeah.
I mean, I don't want it
to sound like that.
Like, I hate it when,
you know,
professionals act like it's all
their parents fault, you know?
I mean, I...I deserved every
sentence I've ever gotten.
And then some.
You were not afraid of prison?
No, it's just once you start
making money the easy way,
you can't go back.
And then I stabbed somebody.
-What?
- I did. I, um...
There was this kiddie-fiddler.
Like, a real creep.
Like, Gunnar and I
knew it for a fact.
He lived down the hall from
us and we...we found out
and I took a butter knife
and I stabbed him.
And Gunnar was...with you?
-You were living with Gunnar?
-Yeah, uh-huh, uh-huh.
And then we were cellmates.
(chuckling)
You really love him,
don't you?
-He's like my brother.
-Hmm.
You know, he was...
He was really, uh...
You know, he was
really strong, you know?
He taught me everything.
You know?
I don't know, Lars.
(tender music)
(both panting)
(church bell ringing)
(intercom beeping)
[Mattsson] We're going
to send in tear gas.
You have one minute to give up.
Place your weapons into the bag,
slide it under the hole
so we can see them.
One minute or we start the gas.
[Lars] No, no, no!
What do you mean?
-You said you were gonna...
-[Mattsson] One minute!
It's not the phone. You have
to press the red button.
-[Gunnar] Hey, what's going on?
-[Lars] Hey, hey!
You said you
were gonna let us go!
-Things have changed.
-What do you mean?
Lars! We should
do what he says.
Fuck no! No way, man!
-You...you said we could go!
-One minute.
How can they do that?
They can't gas us all!
-They wanna kill me, but...
-Toss the guns in the bag.
-No way! Fuck you!
-The guns in the bag!
No! No retreat, man!
Why would they wanna
kill all of us?
-What are you doing with that?
-Hey, don't touch her!
-Do not fucking touch her!
-Calm down!
-Calm down!
- I will blow your head off!
Are you OK?
I have an idea.
[Mattsson] We're sending
in the gas, Lars.
[Lars] Yeah, no, that's great.
You just... You pump the gas in.
And then, uh, Elov and Klara
will die, no problem.
They will be just fine.
[Lars] No, no, no.
They won't be fine.
They have nooses
around their necks.
When you put the gas in,
they'll pass out,
they'll be strangled to death
and it'll be your fault.
What nooses?
I don't believe you.
[Lars] The nooses I put
around their necks!
Uh...let me see.
Hold on a minute.
Set up the CCTV camera.
Bring it over here.
We're gonna place it inside
the hole to take a look.
We're sending down a camera
through the hole.
Now stay away and don't
do any bloody shooting.
Oh, shit! Get down,
get down, get down.
On the ground, like you're dead.
Come on, come on. Get down.
(tense music)
Oh, Jesus Christ.
Now you let them free.
All you have to do
is give me what I want
and let me leave
with my hostages
and all this will be over.
Let them out of those nooses!
Understood?!
[Vinter] Chief?
You go down there.
-What do you mean, me?
-I can go.
No! I need you here.
You go down and
you let them out.
Just go on.
I... I've lost... Bloody...
Go on.
OK, we're gonna open the door
and let them go. Hang tight.
Fuck! I mean, I'm sorry,
I'm coming down.
(mutters excitedly)
Do it, do it, do it!
Do it! Open the door!
Open the door!
Jesus Christ,
I really fucked this up.
(exhales shakily)
(Vinter banging on door)
I'm going to open the door now!
(door thudding and creaking)
-Alright, back up, back up!
-[Vinter] OK, easy.
-Back up.
-Easy.
Why are you here?
Where's Mattsson?
He sent me.
Your car's ready.
And he says that your
deal is over, Sorensson.
You're in this all the way now.
[Lars] Huh.
(helicopter whirring)
[Officer] Keep your eye
on the front door.
-See if you can take him out.
-[Man] Stand back, everybody!
(crowd clamouring)
Everybody, behind the line!
-I can't wait to take a shower.
-I'm quitting this job.
('I'll Take Care of You'
by Bobby Bland playing)
So what's gonna
happen to us, man?
Let's just get to France
and then we'll see what happens.
Most likely, you go your way,
I go mine, right?
I think so, yes.
You gonna give me the gun?
Why, are you gonna help me?
That's up to you.
(gun clicks)
(song continues on radio)
[Gunnar] Klara, come with me.
-[Gunnar] OK?
-[Lars] Yeah.
One and one is two
Whoa, you know
I'll take care of you
I'll take care...
(door creaking
and clanging shut)
Why did he leave
that radio behind?
-[Jakobsson] What do you mean?
-Well, it's for her.
Yeah, he's a tender
brute, that Lars.
Ibsen?
Send in some gas.
Just enough to bring
someone back from the dead.
[Ibsen] Yes, Chief.
Well, it's no harm
if she really is dead.
Is it?
(gas hissing)
(tense music)
(Lars whispering)
Come on, come on, come on. Go.
(crowd jostling)
(helicopter whirring)
(Lars and Gunnar muttering)
[Vinter] The money
is in the trunk.
Just keep your eyes on her.
(gas hissing)
-[Lars] Get in, get in, get in!
-[Gunnar] Come on, man!
[Lars] Back off! Easy, easy.
Listen to me. Listen to me.
We've cleared the traffic
along the Hamngatan.
You can take that
to the highway.
[Vinter] Clear the way!
[Jakobsson]
There's nothing, Chief.
No. Well, it was worth a try.
Just turn it off.
(Bianca coughing)
Wait, do you see that?
It's the Chief.
Listen very carefully.
-(engine revving)
-Oh, listen to that purr!
Ha-ha-ha-ha! Huh? Yes, yes!
-Oh, yeah! Alright, here we go!
-(gunfire)
(crowd yelling)
Oh, my God, oh, my God!
-Oh, my God, oh, my God!
-Hold your fire!
Hold your fire! Who did that?
-I'm gonna kill her!
-I'm gonna blow his brains out!
It was a mistake!
It was a mistake! I'm sorry!
-Hold your fire!
-[Mattsson] Was that gunfire?
Hey, you want me to kill him?!
I will blow his brains
all over this car!
-Right on national TV!
-We'll replace the tyres.
-Calm down.
-[Lars] You lied to me, man!
-Come out and...
-[Lars] No!
-I'll escort you to the lobby...
-No!
...while they find a new tyre.
-I'm not going back in there!
-I'm not!
Look into the eyes
of those men.
Those volunteers,
they're terrified.
You're not safe out here.
I don't trust them anymore.
[Gunnar] I will kill her.
Let's go.
Back off! Back off! Back off!
-Stand down, stand down!
-Everybody, back off!
-I'll blow her brains out!
-Hold your fire! Hold your fire!
Back up!
I hate you! I hate you!
[Vinter] Hold your fire!
[Mattsson] I don't
know what happened.
It will be safer in here.
[Lars] This is so bad, man.
This is so bad.
Yes, it's terrible.
I don't understand what
happened. I'm very sorry.
[Lars] You tell them
to stop pointing their guns.
You tell them to stop
pointing their guns, man!
[Mattsson] Now
we'll just wait in here
until they replace that tyre.
And in the meantime,
we should, uh,
get Mrs Lind's body
out of there, huh?
Have you...
No, do you have the...
You have the key
to the vault? Please?
(whispers) Let's go back
to the vault.
I'm not going
back to the vault.
-Come on, man, we gotta...
-[Mattsson] Please?
No, you never go back.
Never go back!
You don't want to leave her
in there. It's not right.
We're going back to the vault.
-Shit!
-Come on.
Put your guns down.
Shame on you.
Go.
-Alright, alright.
-[Gunnar] Go, go, go, go, go.
Go, go, go, go, go.
Oh, shit...
I got 'em, I got 'em.
-Hey!
-Take this, take this.
-No closer!
-Ah, shit!
Got it, got it, got it,
got it. (grunts)
-Give me that, give me that.
-[Gunnar] In, in, in!
Get back!
Stay back!
[Mattsson] Oh, you're
not going in as well?
-[Lars] Stay back.
-(Bianca whispers) Get out.
-Get out, they know!
-Lars! Lars!
[Mattsson] I know Mrs Lind
is not inside the vault.
-Lars!
-Hey!
Turn on the gas!
Turn on the gas!
-(gas hissing)
-[Lars] Oh, God.
-[Klara] Hey!
-[Lars] No gas.
-[Klara] Help!
-No gas! Oh shit, man.
It's gonna go to our brains.
Oh, fuck, no! No!
-[Klara] Help! Stop!
-[Lars] No!
-[Klara] Turn off the gas!
-[Lars] I can't breathe!
-(gasping)
-[Klara] I don't want to die!
-Please! Please!
-(all coughing)
I'm not going back to prison!
We had a deal!
I'm not going back to prison!
I'm not going back!
I'll shoot her. You hear me?
-[Lars] No!
-(all coughing)
-[Gunnar] You understand?
-Turn off the gas!
[Gunnar] I will kill her. That's
what I'll do. I'll shoot her!
-[Bianca] Turn off the gas!
-Chief!
We need to turn off the gas.
(group coughing)
-Understand what I'm saying?!
-[Bianca] Turn off the gas!
Please, turn off the gas!
I'll kill her and make sure
we do it properly this time!
(Lars shouting) No!
Arggh!
[Lars] Goddammit, no gas!
No gas! We give up!
[Klara] Please! Please, help!
[Lars] No more gas!
No more gas!
Place the guns
where we can see them.
-Throw them in front of you!
-No more gas!
Gas masks, everyone!
Get the hostages out first.
Lars and Gunnar are left
alone with us in there?
"It was self-defence,
Your Honour."
(all coughing and gasping)
[Mattsson]
Step back from the door!
(door clanks open)
[Mattsson]
Hostages first! Come on!
-(group coughing)
-[Elov] OK.
[Mattsson]
I said up! Stand up!
You ladies first. Come on.
[Bianca] Let's go together.
-(Klara gasping)
-They're gonna shoot Lars.
(Lars coughing)
[Mattsson] Come on, come on!
We're coming out!
Stay behind me.
[Mattsson] You have
an angle on him?
[Bianca] Don't shoot,
don't shoot!
[Mattsson] Don't be
afraid, sweetheart.
You're safe now.
You separate them before
they get to the lobby.
(Gunnar winces)
You wanna go back to prison?
Everyone got out alive.
Now you owe me my freedom.
(dark tense music)
(Lars panting)
(all breathing heavily)
(crying)
[Vinter] Go, go.
In, in, in, in! Go!
-[Bianca] No! No!
-(Lars grunting) No!
-(Bianca crying)
-(Lars grunting)
(Bianca sobbing)
Arggh!
No! No!
No, please
don't hurt him! Don't!
(sombre music)
-(crowd chattering)
-(cameras clicking)
[Vincent] All the hostages
have been freed,
including Mrs Bianca Lind
who was previously thought dead.
This will surely go down
as one of the strangest
episodes on record,
with the entire nation
captivated
by every twist and turn.
You can see the exhaustion
on their faces.
[Reporter] ...a shell-shocked
expression on their faces...
(chatter overlaps)
[Reporter 2] How do
you feel, Mrs Lind?!
(sombre music continues)
(pans clattering)
(low chatter)
-(buzzer sounds)
-[Guard] Back to work!
(guard speaking indistinctly)
(door handle clicks)
[Guard] You have
a visitor, Nystrom.
-Who?
- I don't know.
Bianca?
Oh, wow.
(door shuts)
(gentle music)
[Lars] What are you doing here?
[Bianca] Have you, um,
heard from Gunnar?
[Lars] He's free, you know?
He won his
appeal hearing and...
So he's out.
And I'm in. (chuckles)
Your, uh, husband is OK?
[Bianca] Christopher?
He's great.
He's a good man.
We're all good.
What are you gonna do
when you get out?
[Lars] Leave Sweden, I guess.
Why? Hey.
What is it?
I don't know. I just...
I can't stop thinking about
what happened with us.
I still have a...
...a scar on my back
because of you.
But I'm alive.
I survived.
(waves lapping)
(dramatic orchestral music)
('Tomorrow is a Long Time')
[IBob Dylan] If today
was not a crooked highway
If tonight
was not a crooked trail
If tomorrow
wasn't such a long time
Then lonesome would mean
nothing to you at all
Yes, and only if my own
true love was waitin'
If I could hear her heart
a-softly poundin'
Yes, and only if
she was lyin' by me
Then I'd lie
In my bed once again.
(pensive music)
[Kaj] What is it?
[Bianca] I don't really know.
I just...
I can't stop thinking about
what happened with us.
-Do you know what they call it?
-[Kaj] Mm-mm.
[Bianca] Stockholm Syndrome.
[Kaj] What do you
gotta do to get that?
Be kidnapped?
-Held hostage or something?
-[Bianca] Yeah.
[Kaj] And then what?
[Bianca] Then you
fall for your captor.
So they say.

New morning
On this new morning
With you...
Pow!
I'm the outlaw.
Can't you hear
that motor turnin'?
Automobile comin' into style
Comin' down the road
for a country mile or two
So happy just
to see you smile
Underneath this sky of blue
On this new morning...
[Kaj] When we get
over this bridge, man,
hang a left, will ya?
Are you here for
the rock festival?
New morning with you
The night passed
away So quickly
It always does
when you're with me...

Can't you feel

Ground hog runnin'
by the country stream
This must be the day
That all of my
dreams come true
So happy just to be alive
Underneath this sky of blue
On this new morning...
[Kaj] Hold on,
hold on, hold on.
-Oh.
-Let me get that for you.
-Thank you, son.
-Uh-huh.
Ooh.
(people chattering)
[Teller] Is that
all of your deposits?
[Customer] Yes, and I would
like a monthly statement.
(radio bangs on counter)
Let's see here.

-And whoooo-aaahh!
-Giddy-up! Whoo!

Get on the ground!
You, you, on the ground!
(customers crying and screaming)

plays on radio)
The party has begun.
Alright. You, stand up.
Stand up, huh?
Tie her up, tie her up,
hands and feet.
What are...what are you doing?
What are you doing?
What the fuck
are you doing? Huh? Huh?!
Did you just
set off the alarm?
Did you just set off the alarm?
Yes.
That's very good.
Now sit down. Sit down.

Call the Chief of Police, OK?
-Do you understand me?
-Yes.
-Alright.
-[Woman] Help!
-What, what? Who said that?

-What's wrong, what's wrong?
-(customers screaming)
Oh, come on! Where's...
where's the bank manager?
Who's the bank manager?
-Davin?
-[Kaj] Davin!
-[Davin] Has she been shot?
-[Kaj] No, she hasn't been shot!
She's obviously got
a muscle cramp or something.
Get her a banana and get
everybody out of here!
-Come on! Go! Go, go!
-(customers exclaiming)
-Go! Yes, go!
-Please stand.
Slowly make your
way to the exits.
Remain calm. Please, please.

on the line?
-W-waiting.
-You're waiting?
-(phone ringing)
-Here we are. (chuckles)
It's all for a good cause,
ladies, huh?
-Chief, there's an emer...
-Hold that bloody thought!
-There, ah?

An American with a machine gun
has taken over Kreditbank.
-Kreditbank?
-(camera clicks)
[Bianca] This is Bianca Lind
at Kreditbank.
Um, there...there's
an American with a big gun.
[Kaj] Yeah, yeah.
Is anyone else hurt there?
-My colleague is tied up and...
-No, No.
-Ask him what he wants?
-He's asking what you want.
Tell him I want him right now,
I want him here in 10 minutes
or I shoot you in the face,
then hang up - tell him that.
He wants you here in 10 minutes
or he shoots me in the face.
(phone clacks)
('60s rock music

Was he surprised? I mean,
did he sound surprised?
I mean, fuck, right?
I just robbed
the biggest bank in Sweden.
I mean... (chuckles)
he's gonna be surprised.

Eck.
(Kaj exhales)
What do you want?
Tie her up.
(woman whimpers)
Oh, please.
-Please, I have children.
-[Kaj] Uh, stop.
Do not fuck with me. OK?
Behind the back. Tie her
hands up behind the back.
Do not give me those eyes.
Come on, get outta here!
I'm done with you.

What is wrong with you?!
You could have
taken her head off!
-Any more of you, huh?
-No, easy, easy.
-Tough guy, huh?
-Easy.
You are so lucky I don't
blow your brains out!
-Goddamn!
-[Vinter] Hey, just relax!
Oh, I'm gonna get...
Sit down, sit down!
Get in there. Sit down.
[Vinter] OK, OK, whoa.
Sit down!
You see that? I shot the gun,
boom, right out of his hand!
Hah! Right there.
(woman whimpering)
Now you have to
stop crying, OK?
It's making me
really, really nervous.
You gotta sit down right...
right in that chair, OK?
OK, I'll sit here
and keep my eyes on the door.
OK.
Where's my hat?
Get my hat.
It's right over there.
Yeah. Thank you.
Give me the radio too.
Let's have some music.
Oh, yeah,
just sit it right there.
Now get outta here.
You get the fuck outta here.

The Chief has arrived.
[Kaj] It is on now.
I got an idea. Let me see
the walkie. Come on.
Where's the walkie?
Hmm? Come on.
OK, here, take it. Sing into it.
What, you don't like Dylan? Huh?
What kind of cop
doesn't like Dylan?
What kind of person
doesn't like Dylan? Sing!
If there's a poor boy
on the street
Then let him have my seat
'Cause tonight I'll be
stayin' here with you...
[Kaj on radio] Nice.
Now we're getting somewhere.
Bloody Americans.
Why can't they just stay home?
Set up on
the second floor. Let's go.
We're gonna use
the bank offices.
(indistinct chatter on radio)
[Mattsson]
Keep moving, gentlemen.
We don't have time
to waste. That's it.
(police sirens blaring)
-[Officer] Keep back, please.
-[Woman] Who's in there?
-(crowd murmuring)
-(indistinct chatter on speaker)
(clears throat) The first ever
hostage crisis in Sweden.
-Are we live?
-[Cameraman] We're live.
(door creaks and clangs shut)
[Kaj] Alright, everybody.
[Mattsson]
This is Chief Mattsson.
-[Kaj] Get down, get down.
-[Mattsson] Coming out.
[Kaj] Down.
You better not be armed!
[Mattsson] No, no, not armed.
What's your name?
You can call me...
...the Outlaw, huh?
Remember the Alamo.
Whoo!
You alright, Halsten?
What happened?
[Kaj] Oh, are you
worried about the cop?
How about that, you guys, huh?
First thing he wants to know
is how the cop is!
Don't worry about him!
Get outta here.
We're done with you now.
Get outta here, huh.
Go on. Beat it. Beat it.
You heard me.
Oh, God, we're done with you.
Get to the hospital.
I'm not leaving.
[Kaj] Hey! You guys
having a drink or what?
You wanna talk to him or me?
I would like to
talk with Ms Lind.
Is she here?
Yeah, she's fine.
Stand up, stand up.
[Mattsson] Is that you?
Where are the others?
I'm doing the talking.
Alright?
Bring me Gunnar Sorensson.
Now.
Gunnar Sorensson?
That's right,
from Kalmar Prison.
We can't do that.
Let me tell you what you
can and cannot do, alright?
Listen to me.
Just walk, just walk.
Alright. Nice and easy.
Get down. On your knees,
on your knees.
Bring me
Gunnar Sorensson by 3pm
or I'm gonna shoot
her in the head, OK?
-[Mattsson] Whoa, whoa, cowboy.
-What?
You don't want to do that.
You don't want to hurt her.
Now, you've come to a bank.
You want money.
That's right, money. Right.
I want one million
US dollars, unmarked.
-You hear me?
-[Mattsson] American?
-That'll take some time to...
-And I want two pistols.
And a getaway car
and bulletproof vests
for the hostages too.
That's a little one-sided.
And who is this hostage?
Just you, cowboy?
Me and Gunnar! You get it?
We will let the ladies go
when it's over, when we're free.
I will talk with the Ministry.
Give us a few hours.
I thought I was talking to
somebody with some authority!
I thought I was talking
to a bank robber.
(chuckling)
[Kaj] Better not see
any cops on this floor, huh?
[Mattsson] We'll be upstairs.
You alright?
Come on.
-[Man] Bring those mics, please.
-(crowd chattering)
(cameras clicking)
Only if you have
a clear shot, right?
Yes, I understand.
[Officer on speaker]
Everybody, behind the line.
Step back, everybody.
(upbeat country music)
How do you know
Gunnar Sorensson?
Oh, everybody
knows Gunnar Sorensson.
He's the greatest bank robber
in the whole world.
(tray clatters)
Didn't he kill someone?
Listen, it's a couple hour
drive from Kalmar, hmm?
I brought us
a cribbage board, some cards.
I don't have any red pegs,
but I have some matchsticks
that we can use.
Alright? Do you play cribbage?
I have to pee.
I don't wanna die.
-Let me take her to a restroom.
-Hey.
Do I look like an idiot?
Have some decency.
OK, I mean, one of you
can go at a time,
but if you don't come back,
I'll shoot the other one.
Come on, Klara. You go.
You go if you have to.
I do, but you go on.
No, I don't trust myself.
Alright, then...
then I'll go first.
Will you untie my hands?
(knife slicing rope)
Now listen.
I just wanna make sure
you come back, OK?
She's not as strong as you.
(ominous music)
(door opens)
Come back now, ya hear?
(ominous music continues)
(breathing heavily)
(whimpering)
Oh...
(sighing)
(water faucet running)
(paper towel rustling)
(ominous music continues)
[Kaj] Did you think
about leaving me?
(siren blaring outside)
-(crowd chattering)
-(car engine rumbling)
(engine stops)
[Jakobsson] OK, come with me.
-[Woman] It's him, it's him!
-[Reporter] Mr Sorensson!
[Reporter 2] Mr Sorensson,
why have you been released?
[Reporter 1] Mr Sorensson,
who is in the bank?
[Jakobsson] He has
nothing to say. Keep moving.
-[Reporter] Mr Sorensson!
-Keep moving.
-Do you have a statement?!
-Why are you here?!
-(laid-back rock music playing)
-[Kaj] Is that a one? OK.
(card slaps)
(mutters)
I'm coming out
with Gunnar Sorensson!
He's agreed
to help us negotiate.
(lowly) Yes, yes, yes.
(whispers) You know this guy?
I'm not sure yet.
Uh, let us have one
hostage for Gunnar, huh?
You keep forgetting
that I am the one
making the demands.
I see Gunnar.
I don't see my car, huh?
Is it you?
(Gunnar chuckles)
Next time I see you,
I want you to be puttin' keys
to a Mustang 302
like Steve McQueen had
in 'Bullitt', understood?
Oh, yeah. I like that movie.
[Kaj] Yeah.
(laid-back rock music continues)
(Kaj shouting) Hah!
I did it! Yeah!
You're free! Hah!
We're set. I've got a boat
for us in Ulvanda.
-We sail tonight.
-You crazy bastard. Kreditbank?
[Kaj] Yeah, like Butch Cassidy
and the Sundance Kid.
[Gunnar] Wait, wait, wait.
Are you on something?
[Kaj] Yeah, why?
You want some? (laughing)
We're surrounded by
every cop in the capital.
You should've told me
you were doing this.
I wanted to surprise you.
-What'd they offer you?
-What do you mean?
-What, they want you to kill me?
-I'd never do that.
Yeah, I know you wouldn't do it,
but what'd they offer you?
-A little money?
-Nothing, nothing.
-Nothing? No?
-No, no.
-Come on.
-I'm a mediator.
-Oh, a mediator.
-Yeah.
That sounds important.
(laughing)
Hey, meet the girls, huh?
Hey, girls!
I want you to meet my best
friend, Gunnar Sorensson.
Bum-ba-da-bum-bum-ba!
(laughing)
Oh, sorry. This is Bianca.
Bianca, Gunnar.
And, um...
-Klara.
-Klara.
-Gunnar, Klara.
-Hi.
And one government-issue pistol.
Look at all this stuff.
[Gunnar] Why did
you bring all this?
[Kaj] Well, in case
we get delayed.
You know, who knows what
we're gonna need, right?
-It's good, right?
-(gun clicks)
What?
You didn't disable the cameras?
[Kaj] No, I didn't think...
You think I should have?
I just thought, you know,
we're not gonna be here
very long, you know?
Where is the tape room?
Down that hall,
by the deposit vault.
I'll check it out.
[Kaj] Alright, well, it's...
I just don't think it's that
big of deal, you know, I mean...
-Where are you going?
-Yeah, right, right.
-You stay with the girls.
-Yeah, yeah, no.
Of course, of course.
I just...
(rock music
continues in distance)
(tape reel whirring)
(indistinct chatter
on speaker outside)
(tape clicks)
(clattering)
Somebody there?
(uneasy music)
(Kaj mimics knife whooshing)
Shit.
Hey. Look what I found.
Who's he?
He was hiding.
-Who are you, huh?!
-I'm Elov.
-You know him?
-[Both] No.
What do you do, man?
-[Kaj] You a cop?
-No. I'm not.
(pants) I worked
on a cruise ship.
A cruise ship?
What, to America?
-[Elov] Yes. Sometimes, yes.
-Oh, right on.
What were you doing
in the supply room?
I beg you, please,
just let me go.
-Well, he's not a cop.
-No.
I'll tell you that.
- I say we let him go.
-[Kaj] Hmm.
We could use another, um...
...another body, you know?
[Vinter] Kaj Hansson escaped
from prison seven months ago
and now he robs a bank
in order to spring
his old bank robber pal,
Gunnar Sorensson.
Chief, a man in the back hall
is demanding to speak with you.
Well, who is it?
[Mattsson]
Mrs Lind's husband is here.
Come over and let...
let you talk to him.
[Gunnar] Don't let them
boss you around.
Yeah, whoa, whoa, whoa!
What do we get, huh?
[Gunnar] Yeah, we're hungry!
[Kaj] Yeah, we could
starve to death
in here waitin'
for this Mustang!
It's coming and...
and we will bring you food.
-And beer.
-[Kaj] Yeah.
Food, beer, cigarettes -
Marlboro Reds.
Yeah, yeah. Slowly.
Bianca, are you OK?
-Are you OK?
-I'm OK.
What are you doing here?
Why are you not with the kids?
Well, I had to come.
I mean...
Go home and make them dinner.
And don't tell them
about.. this.
[Christopher] OK, I won't.
I... When will you be home?
She'll be home tonight
if, uh, beanpole over here
can keep his promises, OK?
-Yeah, listen.
-Whoa.
Let me take her spot.
Ooh! Ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo!
Sounding off like he's got
a pair, huh? (chuckling)
I like that, I like that.
But no.
[Jakobsson]
How about that, Gunnar?
Why don't you come over here
and help us out?
You heard him.
He says no.
I said no. OK?
In case you haven't noticed,
your wife's a fox.
-Hey.
-And you're not, huh? Come on.
No, wait, wait, please.
It won't be long, OK?
Write this down.
Please, write it down.
-OK, give me a... Come on.
- I don't have any.
-Jakobsson.
-OK, I got it.
You take the herring
out of the fridge.
I already de-boned it
so you don't
need to worry about bones for
Martin and Mia when they eat.
-Why are you saying this?
-Because the fish...
So you can cook the fish, OK?
Write this down.
You take a...a tablespoon
of flour onto a plate
and add some salt and pepper,
and then you put the fish in.
-[Christopher] In the plate?
-On the plate.
-And then you turn it over.
-OK.
And you put a spoon
of butter into the pan
and heat it up
until it gets brown.
-The butter gets brown?
-The butter gets brown.
And then you put the fish in
and you fry it for, um,
four or five minutes, not more,
on each side because Mia
doesn't like when it's burned.
- I know.
- And she won't eat it.
So that's important.
Four or five minutes.
And then, uh, the potatoes
I boiled last night.
-So you don't need to do...
-Bianca, Bianca!
I don't know. I...
I love you.
I love you too.
And the lingonberries jam
is in the jar your mom gave us,
the green jar.
It's in the side,
in the door of the fridge.
Um, if I die, you can...
you can live on fish.
You won't die. She won't die!
-She will be home tonight!
-Please don't tell them!
She won't die, as long
as he gives me what I need.
-Please don't tell them!
-I need a Mustang!
-I need unmarked bills!
-Please don't tell Mia!
I need food. I need cigarettes!
You're not helpin' me
at all, Jak!
It's all on its way, Kaj.
Or, excuse me, would
you prefer Mr Hansson?
We know it's you.
Call me whatever
you want, OK?
[Mattsson] Hmm, good.
And you cannot leave
with these hostages.
Ah, yes, we will be taking
the hostages out of here.
No, you can't.
It's Prime Minister's orders.
The car's a death trap
without them.
The car is coming.
You're free to go on your own.
(lowly) You might have
to kill one of them
so we can get out of here.
(Mustang engine rumbling)
(tense music)
(crowd chattering)
[Nixon on TV] Some people,
quite properly appalled
at the abuses that occurred,
will say that
Watergate demonstrates
the bankruptcy of the American
political system...
(knocking on door)
Excuse me, Olof?
[Olof] Not now, please.
I just received a call
from Kaj Hansson at Kreditbank.
(sighs)
He says he'll kill
the hostages, sir.
This whole thing is absurd.
[Olof] Hello?
-Hello, Mr Prime Minister.
-Mr Hansson.
Your Chief of Police says
that you won't let us
leave with the hostages.
That's quite right.
[Kaj] So then you want
to be responsible
for the deaths of
innocent citizens?
No, of course not.
[Kaj] Well, then,
let us leave with them.
That is simply impossible.
Olof...
...I am gonna count to 10
and if you don't agree to let
us leave with the hostages,
then I'm going to kill
Klara, yeah?
So beginning now.
Ten! Nine!
-Eight! Yes!
-No, no, no! No!
-[Olof] Stop that!
-(screaming) No, no!
-Do you agree? Seven!
-(Klara screaming)
-[Bianca] Please, stop it!
-Stop it! Let go of me!
-Don't touch me again!
-No!
-Six! Five! Four!
-You listen to me, Mr Hansson!
Please stop!
You don't wanna do this.
-Hey! Back off! Alright?
-(Klara crying)
Do you agree? Three!
-You stop that! Now!
-Two! One!
-Do you agree?
-Listen to me. Mr Hansson!
-No!
-(gunshot)
(phone thuds)
[Kaj] You have till tomorrow
to change your mind
or one of them dies.
FUCK! Fuck!
(Bianca breathing heavily)
You...
...you coward.
Arggh!
You shut your mouth.
(Bianca whimpering)
[Kai] I thought
they'd cooperate.
You know, I thought
they'd cooperate.
I didn't think
the Prime Minister of Sweden
doesn't give a shit
if they live or die.
I mean, what's that
say about us?
[Gunnar] You know
what they told me?
That you kill a hostage,
they'd get you
a plane out of here.
How crazy is that, man?
-(lid pops)
-No, no, no pills, no.
-[Kaj] No, I gotta.
-No, you need to sleep.
I can't. I can't go to sleep.
This is wide open.
I don't trust the cops.
We can't sleep.
There's a vault
in the back there.
We can sleep in there.
[Klara] I can't
take this anymore.
-[Bianca] Don't worry.
-[Klara] I want go home.
[Bianca] It's gonna be OK.
It's gonna be OK.
[Kaj] Bianca.
You got a key to the vault?
(lid snaps shut)
(gentle guitar music)
(lock clicks)
(door creaks)
[Kaj] Go, go, go.
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
[Gunnar] Get in, in, in.
[Mattsson]
Gunnar Sorensson is here
to help us broker
a peaceful resolution.
And the hostages? Can you
confirm their identities?
[Mattsson] Yes, Elov Eriksson,
Bianca Lind and Klara Mardh.
[Reporter] Has Mr Hansson
harmed any of them?
[Mattsson] Actually,
we spoke half an hour ago
with a gentleman
hiding out in Hawaii
who claims to be
the real Kaj Hansson.
[Reporter]
And what did he say?
[Mattsson] He said
he's gonna sue all of us
for spreading libellous rumours,
said he would never
take hostages.
So if the robber's not
Kaj Hansson, who is it?
Well, we are working on that.
[Reporter] And the girls,
have...have they been harmed?
Yes, and we fear...
...he may rape them.
[Kaj] Bullshit!
Turn that off. Goddamn!
Why would they say that?
Cops lie to get
what they want.
Do I look like a rapist?
[Kaj] If I knew we were gonna
be spending all night here,
I would have brought
your 12-string.
-This guy can play, OK?
-(Gunnar chuckles)
In Kalmar, Gunnar played
beautifully all night long.
Remember, uh, Helsingborg?
-(cork pops)
-At the fair.
-[Gunnar] We used to sing.
-[Kaj] Hmm.
-No, thank you.
-Huh?
We used to knock this Dylan song
out of the park. Remember that?
[Gunnar]
"Tomorrow is a Long Time'.
[Kaj] Ah, yeah.
(singing) If today
was not a crooked highway
If tonight was not
a crooked trail
If tomorrow
wasn't such a long time
Then lonesome would mean
nothing to you at all
Yes, and only if my own
true love was waitin'
If I could hear her
heart a-softly poundin'
Yes, and only if
she was lyin' by me
I'd lie
in my bed once again.
-Nice one.
-(cork pops)
('Tomorrow is a Long Time'
by Bob Dylan)
[Bob Dylan] I can't see
my reflection in the water
I can't speak the sounds
to show no pain
I can't hear the echo
of my footsteps
Or remember the sounds
of my own name
Yes, and only if my own
true love was waitin'
And if I could only hear
her heart a-softly poundin'
Yes, and only
if she was lyin' by me
I'd lied
In my bed...
[Mattsson] Bring the canisters
in here, boys.
(all chattering)
(indistinct chatter on radio)
There's beauty in that
silver singing river
There's beauty
in that rainbow in the sky
But none of these
and nothing else
Can touch the beauty
That I remember
in my true love's eyes
Yes, and only if my own
true love was waitin'
I could only hear her
heart a-softly poundin'
Yes, and only
if she was lyin' by me
Then I'd lie
In my bed once again.
(radio clicking)
(gasping)
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I just... I wanted
to listen to music.
I didn't mean to...
I...I like music.
I liked when
you were singing before.
I had one of them when I was 19.
So, um...so you're
from Helsingborg?
Born there.
Grew up in the states.
-Yeah, yeah, the accent, I...
-[Kaj] Mm-hmm.
I remember I, uh...
...I saw a photo
in Helsingborg's paper
maybe five, six years ago.
That was you, right?
You broke into
an elderly couple's house
and the old man's heart
started acting up.
His wife asked you to
get his heart medicine.
And you did and
you saved his life.
Wasn't me.
When we get out of here,
they're gonna put a transmitter
under the car, right?
They're gonna track us.
But if Gunnar and I could
slip out of the car,
near the cove, and somebody
else drove it up the E4,
just for a couple hours,
that'd give us enough time to...
...sail across the Baltic.
You think you could
do that for me?
-What, me?
-Yeah.
You don't know how to drive?
Yes, yes, I do.
Then you could do it.
No.
Where are you going? What's...
I'm gonna go to France
and take the money.
Gonna get a plastic surgeon.
Start over, you know?
I remember, um,
the Helsingborg robber
had a...a wife.
And a kid.
It was an ex-wife
and a son.
What was the name of
the Helsingborg robber?
That little priss's
name was Lars, OK?
But that's not me.
That's not who I am.
I have a daughter
and a son.
I'd like to see
them again, Lars.
(pensive music)
(door creaks)
(door creaks)
(phone ringing)
-Hello?
-[Bianca] Hey, it's me.
-Were you sleeping?
-No.
No, of course not.
[Christopher] Where are you?
Have you been freed?
No, I'm...I'm still
at the bank.
What...what does that mean?
I don't have much time.
I just, um...
I miss Mia
and Martin so much.
I just wanna hear
their voices. I...
I can't really think
about anything else.
-[Christopher] What about me?
-(scoffs)
I'm kidding.
I just got Mia down.
Can you...can you wake her up?
She really needs
to sleep, Bianca.
I know, but...
You didn't tell her, did you?
-You did.
-It's all over the news.
She would have found out.
[Bianca] Christopher, I told
you... I asked you not to.
I'm not as strong as you. I'm...
Can you please just worry about
getting yourself out of there?
Of course, yes.
I'll try harder tomorrow.
[Christopher] I didn't
mean it like that. I'm...
Is he listening?
No.
No, he's not listening.
He's... He let me call.
He didn't have to.
He's not all bad.
What are you saying?
Uh, I just mean
nobody's all bad.
No, but that man is an animal.
-Bianca?
-Yes?
How, um...how did
the fish turn out?
I took a meatloaf
out of the freezer.
It was easier.
Right.
Well, I have to, um...
-Be careful.
-Yeah, good night.
[Lars] How was the fish?
They had meatloaf.
(Lars chuckles)
(pensive music)
(crowd chattering)
[Klara] Bianca, Bianca!
[Lars] What's going on, huh?
(Lars grunting)
What are you two...
what are you two up to, huh?
(Klara whispers) It's my period.
-[Lars] What's going on?
-[Bianca] Uh...
-I need tampons.
-She...she got her period.
-She needs tampons.
-What?
Where are we supposed
to get tampons?
Wha... Don't you have any?
It's way too early.
It's not supposed to come yet.
[Bianca] It's the trauma.
Her body is stressed.
[Gunnar] Huh.
OK, yeah, I see, OK.
-Ask the cops.
-Yeah, I'll...I'll get the cops.
Thank you.
Hey! Emergency!
Emergency! It's Klara! Shit!
[Vinter] Easy, easy! Easy.
What happened?
It's Klara. She's bleeding, man.
You know, we know
you're not Kaj.
Who are you?
Don't worry about that
right now, OK, Kojak?
Alright? We got bigger problems.
-Alright, she's...she's...
-What did you do to her?
[Lars] I didn't do anything,
man! It's her time.
It's...it's...
You know, come on!
I need some...tampons, OK?
Look, we need to check the
health of all of the hostages.
You don't need anything, OK,
except to get Klara
some tampons, OK?
And if you get them, I will
bring everybody out here
and you can give 'em
a clean bill of health.
-Alright?
-Yeah, yeah.
[Lars] OK. Thank you.
[Reporter] We were
supposed to be covering
the Crayfish Festival today,
but as you can see,
media has arrived here
and in the square
from all over Europe.
The police are desperate here
in Central Stockholm.
Authorities have received
over 200 calls
from citizens offering
suggestions to end this crisis.
(footsteps approaching)
[Mattsson] Mrs Lind,
uh, how are you feeling?
Not so good.
I'd like to go home.
[Mattsson] Don't worry,
sweetheart.
We're taking care of everything.
Is that so? You think we should
trust you and your partner?
My dear, dear girl,
you are not thinking straight.
[Lars] Hey,
don't patronise her, OK?
We've had enough of that,
all of us.
Don't listen to him.
[Lars] You see,
everybody's fine.
Alright, we just
need the tampons,
we need the bag that
hopefully has the vests in it
and you have to convince
the Prime Minister
to let us leave today
or somebody dies.
I'm trying.
[Lars] OK, come on.
Go get us some breakfast now,
it's taken so long. Alright?
Our deal is expiring soon.
You shut up about the deal.
(Vinter sighs)
Do you see how cosy they are,
the way they speak to us?
Yeah, yeah.
(phone ringing)
Pick it up.
-Me?
-Yeah. Pick it up.
('60s rock music playing)
Hello?
I am Vincent Oberg
with Sveriges Television
outside the Kreditbank.
-Who's this?
-Uh, this is Bianca Lind.
-[Lars] Who is it?
-It's a journalist.
[Vincent] Mrs Lind, Vincent
Oberg, Sveriges Television.
Yeah, you just said that.
All of Sweden
would like to know,
what is it like being stuck
in there with those criminals?
It's not too bad.
We want to leave with them.
-[Vincent] With the robbers?
-[Bianca] That's correct.
[Vincent] But why?
I...I don't understand.
-'Cause we want to live.
-[Vincent] Sure.
But.. but you trust them?
[Bianca] More than
we trust our police.
[Vincent]
Why haven't you left, then?
[Bianca] Because
our own Prime Minister
refuses to let us go.
He doesn't seem to care.
[Vincent] You think
this is political?
Could you connect me
to Vincent Oberg, thank you.
[Bianca]
Everything is political.
[Vincent] But surely the Prime
Minister cares about your life.
The Prime Minister's
on line two.
I'll patch him into
the switchboard.
-Hang up. That's it.
-That's all I have to say.
[Vincent] Hold on,
Mrs Lind? Hold on.
I have the Prime Minister
on the line.
Sir, you're live with Mrs Lind.
[Mattsson] You hear this?
-[Olof] Hello?
-[Bianca] Hello?
[Olof] Mrs Lind,
I've been listening.
It's not that simple.
Mr Prime Minister, it is.
If you let us go, we might live.
If the police don't interfere,
nobody will get hurt
and we will survive.
You can save our lives.
[Olof] And the
best way to do that
is not to let 'em out
on the roads with you.
But we are willing
to take that risk.
I wish that would
make a difference,
but as Prime Minister,
I'm responsible
for all the Swedish people.
[Mattsson] Exactly.
But all the Swedish people
are not in here.
We are trapped in here. We.
And...and if the police
comes in
and they start shooting,
he will shoot back,
and then nobody will survive.
We live in an orderly society.
One should not be able
through violent methods
to do such things.
He's not violent.
And this is not the time
to talk about this society.
I am violent! Hey!
Did you hear what
I said last night?
-[Olof] Now you listen to me.
-[Lars] OK?
If I'm not allowed to
leave here right now,
one of these hostages
is going to die.
-[Olof] Please, stop it.
-Alright?
And if it's Mrs Lind,
I hope you have the guts
to walk over to her house
and look her small son and
her small daughter in the eyes
and say that
you did the right thing.
-(phone slams)
- I got an idea. Come here.
-[Bianca] What?
- I got an idea.
Give me your pistol,
I need the pistol.
-Why?
-Give it to me, here. Hey!
Let her go, alright? Go.
Where are you
taking her, man?
Where are you going?!
OK, OK.
You wanna see your
kids again, right?
-Yes, of course.
-Right, OK.
I gotta kill someone, right?
I mean, I've got to.
-And I think it should be you.
-What?
You know, they will never let
any of us out of here alive
if they don't believe
that I killed somebody, OK?
So think.
So you wanna...
you wanna shoot me?
Yeah, I... | wanna
put this vest on you.
OK, you understand?
I'm gonna go out there
by the stairs with you.
I'm gonna...I'm gonna
pretend to negotiate.
We'll have a given signal, OK?
You try to run, I shoot,
up close at an angle, alright?
It'll hurt.
It'll hurt a lot.
But you won't die.
Have you done this before?
Gunnar has.
He did it a few years ago.
Now listen,
if you're too scared,
I'm just gonna make Elov do it.
I am not too scared.
It's just you are so much
more valuable than he is.
You're a woman, you're a mother.
You're extremely valuable.
Alright, the only
part I don't like
is then we're gonna have to
leave without you, alright?
I'll take Klara, I'll take Elov.
We'll get in the car, we'll go.
The cops will come in,
they'll find you
and they'll just take you
straight home to your children.
So...
...you and the others
will survive
and I can go home?
(sighs)
Do you belong to
the Swedish Church?
Yeah. I do. I...
Dear God, who holds
his children dear.
Look to me, as little as I am.
My fate is in your hands.
(gentle music)
-Bianca.
-Yes?
Bianca, that'll be our signal.
I'll say your name.
And then you'll run
and I'll fire.
OK?
Hey! Pigs!
Come on out!
Alright, alright.
Listen to me. I'm done.
OK, I'm done.
One of two things is
gonna happen right now.
You're gonna get me my car
and my unmarked bills
and I'm gonna drive outta here
or I am gonna Kill this woman.
-You understand?
-Oh, relax.
You're not going
to shoot anyone.
-[Lars] Oh, really?
-We know who you are now.
You are the Helsingborg robber,
Lars Nystrom.
Ah, you're a big softie.
Maybe even a bit of a queer.
I'm not queer, asshole!
It makes sense with the...
the long hair...
-Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!
-Yeah, Bianca can feel it.
-No! You don't talk to Bianca!
-Bianca, look at me.
- I talk to Bianca! No! No!
- Bianca, look over here.
[Bianca] Ah!
Oh! Shit!
-[Elov] What's going on?
-[Gunnar] Shut up. Lars?!
(grunts)
Ohh...
Oh, fuck! Oh!
Shit. (grunts)
Vinter...how could
I be so bloody wrong?
[Lars] Gunnar!
-Sit, sit.
-[Lars] Gunnar!
Shit...
-(Klara gasping)
-[Gunnar] Oh, my God.
-[Lars] Shit.
-[Gunnar] What happened?
-[Lars] Oh, shit.
-[Gunnar] Huh?
-What happened, man?
-She tried to escape, OK?
She tried to escape and I...
I shot her. I... I...
-You shot her?
-Accidentally.
I... I---
You're insane!
You come in here
and you kill an unarmed woman!
Shut up! Get back, back!
-(head thumping)
-Sit down!
Oh, fuck.
(ominous music)
(Klara crying)
(helicopter whirring)
10 minutes ago,
we heard more gunfire
inside the Kreditbank.
Chief Mattsson
has confirmed that
one of the hostages,
Mrs Bianca Lind,
has been killed by Lars Nystrom.
Did her bizarre trust
in him lead to her death?
And why are authorities
loading tear gas into the bank?
They are growing desperate
to end this ordeal,
but they must now await
Prime Minister Palme's approval
to let Nystrom leave
with the remaining hostages.
I'm Vincent Oberg,
live from Central Stockholm.
-(thudding)
-They're buying for time.
They're gonna drill
a hole through the ceiling
and then they're gonna
give us the tear gas.
No, don't worry. There's
solid concrete up there.
Did I ever tell you
about my buddy, Pete?
-Pete Noonan?
-Who?
My Vietnam Navy buddy?
Got exposed to that gas.
90 seconds, scrambled his brain.
I mean, he's
a babbling idiot now.
(tense music)
[Jakobsson] Yep.
(rattling inside wall)
What is that?
(rattling continues)
You hear that?
Yeah, I hear it. What is it?
[Gunnar] I don't know.
Get in here,
get in here. Both of you.
(chair scraping)
(rattling continues)
[Lars] What is it?
You see anything?
(whispers) A microphone.
(whispers)
A microphone? Let me see.
What do you mean?
(low whisper) Outside.
[Lars] Come here, come.
(Bianca groaning)
[Gunnar] Wait in here.
(Bianca groaning)
(Lars whispers) You're alive.
Oh, my God.
I thought you were dead.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
-Come here, come here.
-(Bianca groaning) Oh, fuck.
Let me see you.
-Oh, God, oh...
-(Bianca panting)
It just went black
when I hit the floor.
Shh, shh.
(whispers) They slipped
a microphone in here.
They're listening.
We have to be quiet.
[Gunnar] They think
we don't know.
So now we talk
for the microphone,
try to get everyone out.
When he gets here,
we'll figure out what to say.
We need to speak loudly...
-(Elov gasping)
-What the fuck?
[Elov] Shit!
What's going on?
Well, it's the same thing
you did, man. Same thing.
-Careful, careful, careful!
-(Bianca groaning)
-Careful, careful.
-Sorry, sorry.
-Careful, careful, careful.
-(Bianca cries)
[Gunnar] I don't understand.
I pulled the same
stunt that you did.
-At...at the Goteborg robbery?
-What?
When you shot Joelle
and he had the vest on.
-You fooled everybody.
-What are you talking about?
-She's got a vest on.
-What?
-I...I told you that?
-Yeah.
-You believed that story?
-That didn't happen?
Of course not.
(sighs) I mean, nice play, Lars.
It's risky,
but it's fucking crazy, man.
I mean, how...how could you
not know she wasn't dead?
Well, I was... I don't know.
[Elov] It's just
a little bruise.
-I got scared, man.
-You got scared?
[Gunnar] Listen, here's the
plan, OK? There's a microphone.
We can go in there,
we can say whatever we want,
but they have to believe
that Bianca is dead.
(scoffs and sighs)
-[Klara] It's OK.
-I need ice and painkillers.
[Gunnar] Ice and pain killers?
(sighs) You jerk.
-Chief?
-[Mattsson] Hmm?
They're back in the vault.
[Klara] Ice and
painkillers help
at this time of the month.
I'm...I'm really hungry.
Quit your bitchin'
or I'll kill you too!
(upbeat country music playing)
[Mattsson on phone]
Yeah, yeah, Mattsson here.
Chief Mattsson, now you've
got one dead hostage.
You want another or you gonna
let us drive out of here?
[Mattsson] I have
the authority to let you
leave here first thing
in the morning.
-No.
-Put Gunnar on the line.
[Lars] I'm not gonna
put Gunnar on the line.
You can talk to me.
I'm in charge!
This is Gunnar.
How are the others?
The others?
Klara's scared.
She's got cramps.
[Mattsson] We can
send down a doctor.
We don't need a doctor.
We need ice and painkillers.
-[Lars] And food.
-And food.
-[Gunnar] And cigarettes.
- I have cigarettes.
(phone clacks on receiver)
You want one?
[whispers] You're not allowed
to smoke in the vault.
Well, Klara,
this is my vault now.
And we smoke...
...if I say we smoke.
"Cause I'm in charge.
(upbeat country music continues)
Now, the only food
we have is one pear.
And, no, you can't have any,
so don't even ask.
You want some food?
You ask the cops.
Start beggin' the cops.
No, and you don't get any.
Yum, yum, yum.
[Lars] Boy, this pear
is delicious.
-Huh, Gunnar?
-[Mattsson] Something's wrong.
(headphones clatter)
(whispers) Thank you.
Ah, it's better that
he underestimates me.
(slow blues music playing)
[Klara] I don't know.
That's how it starts?
Yeah.
Steve McQueen works
at this machine shop.
When he gets out of jail,
he robs a bank.
That's such a good movie.
I saw it three times.
Have you seen it?
You look like Ali MacGraw.
They...they let you
watch movies in prison?
-[Lars] Oh, yeah.
-Yeah.
They let you see
prostitutes in prison.
Yeah, well, if you
get the conjugal room.
They give you a couch.
[Elov] What, do you
have to pay them?
That's pretty much
how prostitution works.
-(Lars laughing)
-[Elov] Well, I know that.
I was just saying, you know?
(bluesy country music playing)
How'd you know...
(footsteps clacking on floor)
Deep in your heart
I'd give on up...
Fuck!
-Why wouldn't you call, man?!
-I'm bringing supplies.
What is your problem?
What if I freaked out?!
-Just relax, Lars.
-[Lars] Huh?
You know how I found out
who you are?
- I don't give a shit, man.
- Bianca told us.
Before you killed her.
She was just
pretending to like you,
trying to survive.
You know that, right?
Screw you, man.
Screw you.
Oh, a little touchy
about her, are we?
(Lars chuckles)
[Mattsson] Sorensson,
we need to chat.
Why?
A mediator talks
to both sides.
I was hoping
he'd sell you out by now.
He's been lying to you, Lars.
(chuckling)
You trying to
mess with his head?
Well, someone has to.
What happened to
our arrangement?
Look, I didn't
know it was Lars then.
Oh, don't tell me
he's your best friend.
You're the only one
you care about.
End this before dark
or you will have the
same sentence as Lars.
(tense music)
[Lars] What's up?
Hey, what's going on?
-We cool?
-[Gunnar] Yeah.
-Yeah.
-Are you two alright?
No, we're still
starving and tired.
Just let us
leave with them.
They need to wear those vests.
You have all of them?
I see.
[Lars] Hey, look,
you wanna be concerned,
get us keys to the Mustang.
-Oh, yeah. Here.
-No, no, no!
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Come on, man.
We don't need you in here.
Back up and toss 'em.
Huh, just toss them.
-Hey!
-(grunts)
-(lock clangs)
-[Lars] Hey! Open the door!
Did you know
he was gonna do that?
-No!
-Did you know he was?
-You are crazy, man.
-Were you in on this?!
[Gunnar] No,
you heard what I said.
-Fuck! You are an asshole!
-Everyone to the vault.
You alright? You OK?
(gasping) I need...
I need the painkillers.
Klara needs her painkillers.
Oh, no.
There's...there's
no painkillers.
There's no food. It's just ice.
(tense music)
[Mattsson] Go to the vault.
Move, move, move, move!
Cover the vault!
Now hold your positions.
Await my orders.
-They're in position.
-(guns clicking)
Do not lower your weapons!
[Vincent] The crisis here
has grown stranger still,
almost like an American movie.
The police are threatening force
and the international
media are baffled
by the irrational
behaviour of the hostages.
Psychiatrists are now
advising the police
that the hostages
may be brainwashed.
[Lars] Everybody,
open your mouths.
Hands over your ears.
(metallic click)
-Here we go.
-(lighter clicks)
(fuse fizzing)
(exclaims in foreign language)
(boom)
-[Jakobsson] Jesus!
-[Man] What was that?
[Vinter] Our audio's gone.
[Jakobsson] We've
lost the audio, yeah?
-Is that it?
-[Man] Yeah.
[Jakobsson] OK,
he blew up the fucking mic.
[Vinter] Let's get
a camera down there.
-We'll use the same set-up.
-[Mattsson] No, no!
Not until we
penetrate the ceiling.
Increase the drilling for
the next three hours, nonstop!
-OK, Ingemar...
-And then turn up the heat.
-Yes, but...
-Suffocate them.
-Listen to what I'm saying.
-Ingemar.
And then we freeze them,
and then back again.
-On, off, on, off...
-Hang on, Ingemar.
-They're going to get sick, OK?
-On and off.
-What's gotten into you?
-No, no.
It's the hostages I'm thinking
of. They have not eaten or...
If they want our help, they need
to show us some respect!
-All I am saying...
-All they...
Look what they're doing!
Those criminals,
they think they're in charge.
But we are in charge,
so let's turn up the heat.
And when they call us -
they will -
you do not answer
the phones, you hear me?
- Do you hear me?
- I do, Chief.
Then get to it!
OK, you heard him, OK?
The heat goes up. Yeah, go.
(drill blasting)
(drill whirring)
(drill grinding)
(whirring continues)
(grinding)
-(whirring continues)
-This was a bad idea.
What was?
All of it. Everything.
How can you say that?
How could you say that?
They're about to gas us
to death, alright?
And you're taking their side?
If I was on their side...
(grinding)
(rumbling)
If I was on their side,
you would be dead by now!
(all gasp)
(drill powers down)
[Lars] Shit. I'm not gonna
let you gas us to death!
No, Lars! No, no!
(gasping)
Cover the bloody hole!
Get a medic! A medic!
[Lars] No gas! No gas!
No! Lars! No!
Use your head. You kill a cop,
we're all dead.
-You killed a cop.
-I did not.
-Yes, you did.
-That was my idiot partner.
-Oh, my God!
-I'm not so stupid!
You were there!
You got accessory!
I did not pull the trigger!
Not then, anyway.
Oh, yeah?
Is that it? Huh?
-Put it down.
-You put it down.
Put it down.
-You put it...
-[Bianca] Please, stop this.
Please, listen to me.
Please.
Please, stop.
Come on, Gunnar.
(Chuckling) Oh,
that's the way it is, huh?
So either I bust you out
or you turn me in
or you kill me, huh?
It's a win-win for you.
Is that it, huh?
I've been giving you second
chances all your life, Lars.
I know! That is what brothers
do for each other, man!
That is what having
each other's back means!
Look, you don't wanna leave
me with me, I don't wanna go.
Turn me in, turn me in.
I don't care.
-What are they offering you?
-A lot.
-Yeah, how much am I worth, huh?
-I just said, a lot.
Huh? Come on,
put the gun down. Let's fight.
-What?
-Come on, man, let's fight!
Come on, like old times.
Come on!
Put the gun down, let's fight,
then you can turn me in
and I won't even tell everybody
how you've turned into
a little bitch cop
who stabbed me in the back.
Oh, my God.
He's like a child!
-(thud)
-Ohh! (screaming)
(both grunting)
-(grate clangs)
-(Lars groaning)
(both grunting)
[Lars] Arggh!
Stop! Stop!
It's enough. Stop!
Off me!
(both breathing heavily)
[Bianca] It's enough.
It's enough.
It's OK. Do it.
Pull the trigger.
You can go home
and see your Kids.
Please.
Just do it.
-Look who's got both guns now.
-Oh, jes...
Let's just all relax now. Yeah?
Well?
We good?
Oh, we're great, Lars, yeah.
Alright, let's get some rest.
Gotta be alert on those roads.
[Mattsson] I'm very
sorry, Frederick.
(sombre music)
[Lars] Let me see.
Yeah.
It's gonna be OK.
You were...
...you were unbelievably
brave, you know?
Really.
(laughing)
I've never seen
anything like it.
It's incredible.
Yeah, I was very brave.
Lars?
Can I call home?
You can't, no.
I mean, you can't.
Mia...
My daughter probably
thinks I'm dead and...
...and my parents, I...
...I can't even imagine
what they're going through.
You just have to right now,
for a little bit longer.
It's the only way
we're gonna get out of here.
It's the only thing
that makes it worth it, yeah?
[Bianca] OK.
My father wishes I died a
long time ago, you know, so...
-No.
-Yeah, no.
You're better off with... Yeah.
I mean, I don't want it
to sound like that.
Like, I hate it when,
you know,
professionals act like it's all
their parents fault, you know?
I mean, I...I deserved every
sentence I've ever gotten.
And then some.
You were not afraid of prison?
No, it's just once you start
making money the easy way,
you can't go back.
And then I stabbed somebody.
-What?
- I did. I, um...
There was this kiddie-fiddler.
Like, a real creep.
Like, Gunnar and I
knew it for a fact.
He lived down the hall from
us and we...we found out
and I took a butter knife
and I stabbed him.
And Gunnar was...with you?
-You were living with Gunnar?
-Yeah, uh-huh, uh-huh.
And then we were cellmates.
(chuckling)
You really love him,
don't you?
-He's like my brother.
-Hmm.
You know, he was...
He was really, uh...
You know, he was
really strong, you know?
He taught me everything.
You know?
I don't know, Lars.
(tender music)
(both panting)
(church bell ringing)
(intercom beeping)
[Mattsson] We're going
to send in tear gas.
You have one minute to give up.
Place your weapons into the bag,
slide it under the hole
so we can see them.
One minute or we start the gas.
[Lars] No, no, no!
What do you mean?
-You said you were gonna...
-[Mattsson] One minute!
It's not the phone. You have
to press the red button.
-[Gunnar] Hey, what's going on?
-[Lars] Hey, hey!
You said you
were gonna let us go!
-Things have changed.
-What do you mean?
Lars! We should
do what he says.
Fuck no! No way, man!
-You...you said we could go!
-One minute.
How can they do that?
They can't gas us all!
-They wanna kill me, but...
-Toss the guns in the bag.
-No way! Fuck you!
-The guns in the bag!
No! No retreat, man!
Why would they wanna
kill all of us?
-What are you doing with that?
-Hey, don't touch her!
-Do not fucking touch her!
-Calm down!
-Calm down!
- I will blow your head off!
Are you OK?
I have an idea.
[Mattsson] We're sending
in the gas, Lars.
[Lars] Yeah, no, that's great.
You just... You pump the gas in.
And then, uh, Elov and Klara
will die, no problem.
They will be just fine.
[Lars] No, no, no.
They won't be fine.
They have nooses
around their necks.
When you put the gas in,
they'll pass out,
they'll be strangled to death
and it'll be your fault.
What nooses?
I don't believe you.
[Lars] The nooses I put
around their necks!
Uh...let me see.
Hold on a minute.
Set up the CCTV camera.
Bring it over here.
We're gonna place it inside
the hole to take a look.
We're sending down a camera
through the hole.
Now stay away and don't
do any bloody shooting.
Oh, shit! Get down,
get down, get down.
On the ground, like you're dead.
Come on, come on. Get down.
(tense music)
Oh, Jesus Christ.
Now you let them free.
All you have to do
is give me what I want
and let me leave
with my hostages
and all this will be over.
Let them out of those nooses!
Understood?!
[Vinter] Chief?
You go down there.
-What do you mean, me?
-I can go.
No! I need you here.
You go down and
you let them out.
Just go on.
I... I've lost... Bloody...
Go on.
OK, we're gonna open the door
and let them go. Hang tight.
Fuck! I mean, I'm sorry,
I'm coming down.
(mutters excitedly)
Do it, do it, do it!
Do it! Open the door!
Open the door!
Jesus Christ,
I really fucked this up.
(exhales shakily)
(Vinter banging on door)
I'm going to open the door now!
(door thudding and creaking)
-Alright, back up, back up!
-[Vinter] OK, easy.
-Back up.
-Easy.
Why are you here?
Where's Mattsson?
He sent me.
Your car's ready.
And he says that your
deal is over, Sorensson.
You're in this all the way now.
[Lars] Huh.
(helicopter whirring)
[Officer] Keep your eye
on the front door.
-See if you can take him out.
-[Man] Stand back, everybody!
(crowd clamouring)
Everybody, behind the line!
-I can't wait to take a shower.
-I'm quitting this job.
('I'll Take Care of You'
by Bobby Bland playing)
So what's gonna
happen to us, man?
Let's just get to France
and then we'll see what happens.
Most likely, you go your way,
I go mine, right?
I think so, yes.
You gonna give me the gun?
Why, are you gonna help me?
That's up to you.
(gun clicks)
(song continues on radio)
[Gunnar] Klara, come with me.
-[Gunnar] OK?
-[Lars] Yeah.
One and one is two
Whoa, you know
I'll take care of you
I'll take care...
(door creaking
and clanging shut)
Why did he leave
that radio behind?
-[Jakobsson] What do you mean?
-Well, it's for her.
Yeah, he's a tender
brute, that Lars.
Ibsen?
Send in some gas.
Just enough to bring
someone back from the dead.
[Ibsen] Yes, Chief.
Well, it's no harm
if she really is dead.
Is it?
(gas hissing)
(tense music)
(Lars whispering)
Come on, come on, come on. Go.
(crowd jostling)
(helicopter whirring)
(Lars and Gunnar muttering)
[Vinter] The money
is in the trunk.
Just keep your eyes on her.
(gas hissing)
-[Lars] Get in, get in, get in!
-[Gunnar] Come on, man!
[Lars] Back off! Easy, easy.
Listen to me. Listen to me.
We've cleared the traffic
along the Hamngatan.
You can take that
to the highway.
[Vinter] Clear the way!
[Jakobsson]
There's nothing, Chief.
No. Well, it was worth a try.
Just turn it off.
(Bianca coughing)
Wait, do you see that?
It's the Chief.
Listen very carefully.
-(engine revving)
-Oh, listen to that purr!
Ha-ha-ha-ha! Huh? Yes, yes!
-Oh, yeah! Alright, here we go!
-(gunfire)
(crowd yelling)
Oh, my God, oh, my God!
-Oh, my God, oh, my God!
-Hold your fire!
Hold your fire! Who did that?
-I'm gonna kill her!
-I'm gonna blow his brains out!
It was a mistake!
It was a mistake! I'm sorry!
-Hold your fire!
-[Mattsson] Was that gunfire?
Hey, you want me to kill him?!
I will blow his brains
all over this car!
-Right on national TV!
-We'll replace the tyres.
-Calm down.
-[Lars] You lied to me, man!
-Come out and...
-[Lars] No!
-I'll escort you to the lobby...
-No!
...while they find a new tyre.
-I'm not going back in there!
-I'm not!
Look into the eyes
of those men.
Those volunteers,
they're terrified.
You're not safe out here.
I don't trust them anymore.
[Gunnar] I will kill her.
Let's go.
Back off! Back off! Back off!
-Stand down, stand down!
-Everybody, back off!
-I'll blow her brains out!
-Hold your fire! Hold your fire!
Back up!
I hate you! I hate you!
[Vinter] Hold your fire!
[Mattsson] I don't
know what happened.
It will be safer in here.
[Lars] This is so bad, man.
This is so bad.
Yes, it's terrible.
I don't understand what
happened. I'm very sorry.
[Lars] You tell them
to stop pointing their guns.
You tell them to stop
pointing their guns, man!
[Mattsson] Now
we'll just wait in here
until they replace that tyre.
And in the meantime,
we should, uh,
get Mrs Lind's body
out of there, huh?
Have you...
No, do you have the...
You have the key
to the vault? Please?
(whispers) Let's go back
to the vault.
I'm not going
back to the vault.
-Come on, man, we gotta...
-[Mattsson] Please?
No, you never go back.
Never go back!
You don't want to leave her
in there. It's not right.
We're going back to the vault.
-Shit!
-Come on.
Put your guns down.
Shame on you.
Go.
-Alright, alright.
-[Gunnar] Go, go, go, go, go.
Go, go, go, go, go.
Oh, shit...
I got 'em, I got 'em.
-Hey!
-Take this, take this.
-No closer!
-Ah, shit!
Got it, got it, got it,
got it. (grunts)
-Give me that, give me that.
-[Gunnar] In, in, in!
Get back!
Stay back!
[Mattsson] Oh, you're
not going in as well?
-[Lars] Stay back.
-(Bianca whispers) Get out.
-Get out, they know!
-Lars! Lars!
[Mattsson] I know Mrs Lind
is not inside the vault.
-Lars!
-Hey!
Turn on the gas!
Turn on the gas!
-(gas hissing)
-[Lars] Oh, God.
-[Klara] Hey!
-[Lars] No gas.
-[Klara] Help!
-No gas! Oh shit, man.
It's gonna go to our brains.
Oh, fuck, no! No!
-[Klara] Help! Stop!
-[Lars] No!
-[Klara] Turn off the gas!
-[Lars] I can't breathe!
-(gasping)
-[Klara] I don't want to die!
-Please! Please!
-(all coughing)
I'm not going back to prison!
We had a deal!
I'm not going back to prison!
I'm not going back!
I'll shoot her. You hear me?
-[Lars] No!
-(all coughing)
-[Gunnar] You understand?
-Turn off the gas!
[Gunnar] I will kill her. That's
what I'll do. I'll shoot her!
-[Bianca] Turn off the gas!
-Chief!
We need to turn off the gas.
(group coughing)
-Understand what I'm saying?!
-[Bianca] Turn off the gas!
Please, turn off the gas!
I'll kill her and make sure
we do it properly this time!
(Lars shouting) No!
Arggh!
[Lars] Goddammit, no gas!
No gas! We give up!
[Klara] Please! Please, help!
[Lars] No more gas!
No more gas!
Place the guns
where we can see them.
-Throw them in front of you!
-No more gas!
Gas masks, everyone!
Get the hostages out first.
Lars and Gunnar are left
alone with us in there?
"It was self-defence,
Your Honour."
(all coughing and gasping)
[Mattsson]
Step back from the door!
(door clanks open)
[Mattsson]
Hostages first! Come on!
-(group coughing)
-[Elov] OK.
[Mattsson]
I said up! Stand up!
You ladies first. Come on.
[Bianca] Let's go together.
-(Klara gasping)
-They're gonna shoot Lars.
(Lars coughing)
[Mattsson] Come on, come on!
We're coming out!
Stay behind me.
[Mattsson] You have
an angle on him?
[Bianca] Don't shoot,
don't shoot!
[Mattsson] Don't be
afraid, sweetheart.
You're safe now.
You separate them before
they get to the lobby.
(Gunnar winces)
You wanna go back to prison?
Everyone got out alive.
Now you owe me my freedom.
(dark tense music)
(Lars panting)
(all breathing heavily)
(crying)
[Vinter] Go, go.
In, in, in, in! Go!
-[Bianca] No! No!
-(Lars grunting) No!
-(Bianca crying)
-(Lars grunting)
(Bianca sobbing)
Arggh!
No! No!
No, please
don't hurt him! Don't!
(sombre music)
-(crowd chattering)
-(cameras clicking)
[Vincent] All the hostages
have been freed,
including Mrs Bianca Lind
who was previously thought dead.
This will surely go down
as one of the strangest
episodes on record,
with the entire nation
captivated
by every twist and turn.
You can see the exhaustion
on their faces.
[Reporter] ...a shell-shocked
expression on their faces...
(chatter overlaps)
[Reporter 2] How do
you feel, Mrs Lind?!
(sombre music continues)
(pans clattering)
(low chatter)
-(buzzer sounds)
-[Guard] Back to work!
(guard speaking indistinctly)
(door handle clicks)
[Guard] You have
a visitor, Nystrom.
-Who?
- I don't know.
Bianca?
Oh, wow.
(door shuts)
(gentle music)
[Lars] What are you doing here?
[Bianca] Have you, um,
heard from Gunnar?
[Lars] He's free, you know?
He won his
appeal hearing and...
So he's out.
And I'm in. (chuckles)
Your, uh, husband is OK?
[Bianca] Christopher?
He's great.
He's a good man.
We're all good.
What are you gonna do
when you get out?
[Lars] Leave Sweden, I guess.
Why? Hey.
What is it?
I don't know. I just...
I can't stop thinking about
what happened with us.
I still have a...
...a scar on my back
because of you.
But I'm alive.
I survived.
(waves lapping)
(dramatic orchestral music)
('Tomorrow is a Long Time')
[IBob Dylan] If today
was not a crooked highway
If tonight
was not a crooked trail
If tomorrow
wasn't such a long time
Then lonesome would mean
nothing to you at all
Yes, and only if my own
true love was waitin'
If I could hear her heart
a-softly poundin'
Yes, and only if
she was lyin' by me
Then I'd lie
In my bed once again.
(pensive music)
