I was up early today.

We're not going to work out?

I've lugged this around all day.

I'm really hungry.

Got any money?

- I've got a maxed-Out credit card.

- Perfect. Forget the gym.

And now for the news: The police

believe that the free port murder -

- Is tied to organized crime and

the increase in cigarette smuggling.

The police are looking

for a young woman -

- Seen yesterday running from

the crime scene by a cab driver.

She is not regarded as a suspect,

but is wanted for questioning.

- Paradise.

- Hi, Rebecca. It's Annika Bengtzon.

- Have you finished the piece?

- No, not yet. There are...

I need to be filled in...

could you spare a moment?

Great.

How many employees do you have?

There are five of us,

working full time.

- Doctors, lawyers, psychologists...?

- Not at all.

The local authorities

supply professional help like that.

Our highly qualified staff

is available around the clock.

- How are they paid?

- What do you mean?

- How much do they make?

- 14,000 kronor a month.

We don't do this to get rich,

it's a worthy cause.

- The local authorities foot the bill.

- That's right.

Why do you ask?

I want to get a picture of your set-Up,

so I can continue with my piece.

So... any profits you make,

what happens to them?

Any revenue, tiny as it may be,

goes back into the foundation.

We use our funds for development.

One last question, please.

That list of authorities

I could contact, have you sent it?

We've been very busy with a difficult

case, but Ill put it in the mail.

You could always fax it.

Send it to the paper.

Could you please

name the cities involved?

- What's the number?

- 223023.

Kvllspressen.

Excuse me...

- I can't hear you.

- I'm sorry...

- Calm down. I can't hear you.

- Someone's got to help me!

- He's going to kill me.

- You've reached a newspaper.

- I don't think we can help you.

- You've been writing about me.

- That's why Im calling.

- Where are you?

The killing at the free port.

The girl running away, that's me.

No one can help you

unless you tell us where you are.

- Where are you?

- A hostel. The white boat.

Room 14.

Hello?

- What's your name?

- He's going to kill me.

You've got to tell me who it is.

Is it your husband?

- What's your name?

- Aida Begovic. Begovic, Aida.

- Where are you from?

- Bosnia.

Why did you call us?

Why not the police?

- They look for me. Why?

- Someone saw you at the free port.

They want to see you

because they want to find a witness.

- Aida?

- No, Im Anna.

- Aida Begovic, is she in?

- I'm all alone here.

I'd ask you in, but since I don't

know you, Id better not.

I don't know you either, but Ill

never forget your charming smile.
