The story begins with Monica, in a phone box, on the line with a man, Gary.
Shortly afterwards, we learn that Gary is a hitman who Monica has hired to kill her husband, Jacob.
From outside, Henrik knocks on the cabin window because he needs to make a phone call about a lost dog called Cookie that he has found. Monica sighs and ignores him, but he insists.
Monica leaves the cabin and Henrik enters. As he calls Cookie’s owner, the dog is seen attacking Monica in the background. She defends herself by hitting him with her bag, causing a photograph to fall.
The move is quick; Cookie jumps into Monica’s car. As Henrik waits for an answer on the phone, he sees Monica drive off with Cookie in the back seat.
As he left the cabin, Henrik noticed the photo on the floor. He picked it up and examined it. In the photo, a man is in the foreground, holding a picture of Monica in a flat window between his fingers.
Henrik managed to guess the address and climbed through the window of the building. However, he is clumsy and not very discreet. On the way in, he narrowly avoids an arrow but knocks over an aquarium.
After the crash and the shrapnel, Henrik realises that the fish, which was in the aquarium, is dying on the floor. Henrik tries mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to save it.
Just then, Jacob, alerted by the noise, enters the room. Henrik tries to explain, but in the confusion the fish flies into Jacob’s mouth, choking him.
When his attempts to revive Jacob with CPR fail, a panicked Henry goes into the living room to try other means of saving him, but to no avail. Meanwhile, Monica and the hitman arrive at the flat. Monica gestures for the killer to enter.
As the killer opens the door and searches the flat, he sees Jacob comfortably seated at the dining table and moves in to kill him. Henrik pulls out his magnifying glass and manages to dazzle him with it, before running to the door to escape.
Suddenly Monica enters the room and discovers chaos: the living room devastated, Henrik facing her, with Jacob slumped over on his plate, and the killer blinded. Very quickly, only Henri is left standing.
He eventually leaves the flat, carrying Jacob like a hero to the oncoming police. But that’s when Cookie the dog runs past the house, attracting Henri’s attention, who drops Jacob to run after the dog.
