45) Int. Halmstad - Runa's home - night
Runa runs to her laptop.
Runa
Inari... Inari...
While the laptop is booting she nervously drums
her fingers on the keyboard.
Runa
Come on, come on!
Runa opens her browser program... and types in
the web address 'www.map24.se'.
After the page finished loading she types in
the route: 'Halmstad' / 'Inari'. The way and the time needed are being displayed.
Runa
1973 km... 30 hours by car?
Runa looks at the clock. It is 4:20.
She types: 'Gällivare' / 'Inari'.
Runa
600 km, 10 hours... So he'll be there
tonight sure enough...
Damn it. Damn it. What shall I do?
Resignedly she buries her face in her hands.
Camera: Runa, Laptop screen not visible
Then she has an idea. She opens an Internet
search engine and types in something.
After reading, clicking and reading again for
a short time she reaches out for her phone and dials a number.
KRISTINA CARLSSON from a travel agency answers.
Kristina
Swedish Tourists International Bookings. My
name is Kristina Carlsson. How may I help you?
Runa
Hello, my name is Runa Eskleth. I need a
flight from Halmstad to Inari in Northern Finland.
Kristina
One moment, please.
Runa can hear her typing.
Kristina
When would you like to fly to Ivalo?
Runa
Inari, not Ivalo.
Kristina
Hmm. I only have Ivalo listed in my system.
Please hold the line.
Runa is on hold. Wait loop music is being
played.
Runa
Hello?!
Pause. Runa gets more and more impatient.
Then Kristina is back.
Kristina
Mrs. Eskleth?
Runa
Yes?
Kristina
Ivalo is situated within the administrative
district of Inari. The village of Inari itself is about 50 km further north.
Runa
O... Okay. I need the next flight!
Kristina
One moment please.
(pause)
You are calling just too late for the 6
o'clock flight...
(pause)
The next bookable flight goes at 6:50 from
Halmstad. You would be in Ivalo at 18:40.
Runa
So late?
Kristina

Runa
Good bye.
Runa hangs up the phone and runs into her
sleeping room.
Being there she starts throwing things into a
bag. In between she grabs her cell phone.
It takes a while until someone answers.
Runa
Anna? Can you take my sister for a while
again?
(pause)
Yes! Right now! No, it's an emergency. I'll
bring her round straight away. Thanks.
Runa hangs up.
Runa
Oh my god, what am I doing?
