22) Int. Gothenburg - Erik's flat - afternoon
Runa reaches the second floor via the staircase. Erik already awaits her in front of his door.
Erik
Hello!
Runa
(a little shy)
Hi. What's with Mr. Kjelva?
Erik
He is ... ehh. Just come inside for a sec.
Runa is surprised by this offer. Nevertheless she follows into the flat.
Erik
You want some coffee? Or a beer?
Runa
Thanks, coffee would be nice.
Erik
Sit down. The living room is through there!
Erik shows her the way to the living room. While Runa walks in front of him he eyes her up form head to toe.
Erik walks into the kitchen to make coffee.
Runa examines the living room which apparently needs some cleaning up. A lot of music equipment is lying around.
Cut To Erik
Erik pours coffee into two mugs.
Erik
Where are you from?
Runa (O.S.)
Halmstadt!
Cut to Runa
Runa looks into the music books on the table.
Erik (O.S.)
Do you want to visit Ari? Or... I haven't seen you around before...
Runa
Yes!
Erik enters the living room with two mugs of coffee. He sits down on an armchair opposite to Runa.
Erik
You're sitting down, that's good.
Runa
Why?
Erik
What's the best way to explain it?
Close up Runa
Runa
Explain what?
Back to scene
Erik
The thing with the cripple is...
Runa
With the what?
Erik
Sorry. It just slipped out. But everyone here in this house calls him that.
(abashed)
Well. You know. Because of the wheelchair.
Runa
So he is disabled.
Erik
I thought you knew him.
Runa
No, not really.
Erik
Good. In that case I don't have to be too sensitive. So... Well, he is dead.
Runa
Dead? That can't be!
Erik
Well, it can. Suicide.
Runa
(quiet)
Damn!
Erik
Little wonder. That wasn't a life anymore. He virtually never got out of the house and his only visitors were the supermarket delivery service... and the pizza guy. If I was in his position, I would have probably done it as well. Sooner or later....
(joking)
Well. Good thing about is, that I don't have to carry down his rubbish bags anymore. Cos he always used to put them in front of my door!
Runa
(outraged)
I think you're disgusting!
Erik ignores this remark.
Erik
You want a cigarette?
Runa
Thanks. Not now.
Erik
What did you want from Kjelva?
Runa
He has ... eh... some information I need.
Erik
Really? What kind of information? The password for his Swiss bank account? Surely he wasn't a rich man.
Runa
It's a private thing.
Erik
I see.
Runa
But there has to be some way into his flat?!
Erik
Did you notice the seal above the keyhole? That was the old bill. Cos officially Kjelva's death isn't classed as suicide yet.
Runa
But I must get inside.
Erik
Hello? Are you listening to me? I don't think the old bill are going to like you poking around in there. Apart from that... it stinks inside.
Runa
There has to be some way!!! Can you help me?
Erik is fascinated by Runa's assertiveness... he smirks impishly.
Erik
I'll see what I can do for you Sweetheart. The doors here aren't that difficult to open.
Runa
(joyful)
Thanks!
Runa wants to get up.
Erik
Hey, easy, easy lil' princess. Let's wait till it's dark and all those pensioners stop creeping around the staircase...
