If this is a modern publicity stunt,

I don't know.

But I've been told

it hasn't always been like this.

He is great pianist. Outstanding.

No doubt about that.

Technically speaking...

But where is his passion?

Fromberg is a wise man.

He can hear something is wrong -

- but he doesn't know what it is.

I do.

My mission is to make Zetterstrm

see what he refuses to see.

To remember what was

concealed in the night.

It won't be easy,

but I'll manage.

I have a plan, and everything has

been prepared to the last detail.

Let's get going.

Zetterstrm has just finished

a successful tour.

Under the pretext of an interview -

- our assistant

will lure him to Copenhagen.

The magical words to be said

are simple:

Your past has been kidnapped

and is now in the Zone.

Thanks for taking the time to see us.

We are honoured.

Thanks for taking the time to see us.

We are honoured.

You're welcome.

You hide when you're playing. Do

you have an aversion to being seen?

No, it's not an aversion.

My sole interest is music.

The image of me playing

diverges from the experience.

I'm only a human. The music

ought to be more than just me.

Is that why all stage lights

are turned off?

And the audience has to be

blindfolded with one of these?

Any comments on that?

I know it must be interesting to focus

on something that appears eccentric -

- but why don't we talk music?

It's not that you're ashamed

and want to hide?

No.

Could you tell us a bit about

how you got started in music?

- What do you mean, "started"?

- When you started and why.

Haven't you got any specific

questions, or should I just jabber?

When did you start

playing the piano?

- I don't think much of my childhood.

- But what do you remember...?

Nothing really. I think more

of the future than the past.

- You must remember something.

- Of course I do.

What?

- What?

- Yes, what do you remember?

- Anything.

- What's the meaning of this?

Do you remember this woman?

- Not off hand.

- No?

- No. What is this about?

- She was your girlfriend.

You lived together...

It doesn't ring a bell?

Forget it! I assume

you can find your own way out.

Do you know

that your past has been kidnapped?

- My past has been kidnapped?

- Your recollections, your memories.

They were stolen and placed in

the Zone in Copenhagen, Denmark.

- The country of your birth.

- It's ridiculous! What do you want?

Life as you know it

began ten years ago.

Everything before that

is an impenetrable mist.

- Let's be honest. Am I right?

- No, you're not.

Well, if you want to retrieve your

past, you know where it is.

Clara?

Zetterstrm speaking.

Zetterstrm... Were you asleep?
