Bjorne.

What a sorry watchdog you are.

You're stone-dead.

I came to see if Annie was home.

I saw her car at the Stromgren place.

-When?

- Yesterday afternoon on my way down.

It was still there today

when I went back up.

Her shotgun is gone as well.

Why did she bring her shotgun?

Annie!

AUTUMN 1991

Annie!

Annie!

So you and Johan are a couple now?

It's all quite new.

- She's going to be so annoyed over this.

- Well, let her be.

She could be lying with a broken leg

somewhere in need of help.

She wouldn't just disappear.

- Those damned birds.

-Kestrels?

Peregrine falcons.

Aagot taught me.

Pear grim falcon,

I thought it was called.

Like a grim pear.

Alright, we've seen you.

Annie!

BLACKWATER

THE MORNING AFTER MIDSUMMER 1973

Coming!

They need Ake Vemdal

at the Stromgren place.

They found somebody at Lobber River.

What do you mean, found somebody?

Here you go.

Drink some milk.

Have faith in God in times of need

Not far from our spot yesterday.

Careful.

Touch as little as possible.

Recognize them?

I think I saw them at the camping site

as we drove off.

Don't touch anything else.

Go sit over there.

Let me have a look at your arms.

Annie Raft, 121 Karlbergsvagen

11335 Stockholm.

- Do you live there?

- Yes, or ... I did.

- What's this knife for?

- Nothing.

How old is the girl?

Seven.

So you took a seven-year-old

hiking to Stjarnberg late at night?

I didn't know how far it was.

- Where do you work?

- I'm a schoolteacher.

I used to work at a folk high school.

I went to

the teacher's college in Stockholm.

And the Royal College of Music.

I finished in the spring and then I took

a two-week choral singing course -

- so I've only just finished.

- And now?

- I'm going to teach the kids up there.

- At Stjarnberg.

- The Stjarnberg commune?

You're going to live with this guy?

- What's your boyfriend's name?

- Dan.

- What's your boyfriend's name?

-Dan.

- Ulander.

- Is he the girl's father?

No.

- Have you been together for long?

- Since we met at the folk high school.

- Did he work there, too?

-No.

- So what was he doing there?

- He lived there.

- Why did you go back to the tent?

- I panicked.

Did you think he was with someone else

in the tent? Another girl?

Does it hurt anywhere?

Did you get any sleep?

A little.

Alittle.

A little.

Alittle.

Does it itch a lot?

Let's see if I have something

to stop the itch.

Here we go.

- Does it sting?

-Alittle.

Good girl.

Hang on.

What happened to her face?

Has she been beaten?

No, it's the punkies. Gnats.

They do that to you.

Don't worry.

- You don't know where Dan is?

- I assume he's at Stjarnberg.

But he was supposed

to pick you up at the bus.

- Sure he was.

- And he didn't show up.

Are you upset about that?

Angry?

No, we must have misunderstood

each other. Gotten the days mixed up.

- Midsummer Eve?

-Yes.

Did you think he was in the tent?

- Have you got a photo of Dan Ulander?

- No, he doesn't want his photo taken.

- I saw a man running by.

-Where?

Above the river.

- What did he look like?

- He looked like a foreigner.

A foreigner? How do you mean?

Like a Vietnamese.

- But I know it isn't Dan!

- Easy ... It'll be over soon.

It's not Dan.

- Go to Aagot's house. You know?

- Yes.

Aagot Fagerlis up the road.

Barbro spent last night in the

mountains. Because of the protest.

Barbro, my wife. What if

some maniac is on the loose up there?

She'll be home soon.

-Ake Vemdal?

-That's me.

Chief Inspector Andersson.

Chief Inspector Barkfors.

You asked for assistance.

Yes, great.

I think we should cordon off the area

to log all activity in and out.

The perpetrator might still be up there.

We'd rather see the scene of the crime.

This is Annie.

- How much do I pay you?

- No, just you rest now.

Both of you.

Would you like to help me choose a book?

Look. What's that one called?

- What do you think it is?

- A peregrine falcon.

It says it's the peregrine falcon,

but I call it the pear grim falcon.

Because it's so grim.

But only sometimes.

I think it's beautiful.

Johan?

Bjorne?

Have you seen Johan?

He didn't come home last night.

Do you know where he was yesterday?

Perhaps he went fishing.

I don't know.

Breakfast is ready soon.

He fetched a bucket of water

and poured it on the fire -

- and the whole thing blew up

in his face.

Half his hair burned off.

He looks like a roast piggy bank.

He's so stupid his wife ought

to be paid for putting up with him.

- Where is he?

- I don't know.

I'd stay away, too, if I were him.

I'm full, thanks.

Yes, thanks.

Hey!

Come on.

Torsten ...

Don't be too harsh on him.

He didn't mean ...

Norway.

I've had enough of Sweden for now.

Just about enough.

Or are you Swedish?

I just need to buy cigarettes.

Come with me.

Excuse me.

Do you recognize this tent?

Why won't you let us through?

Why?

- Still here?

- I'm waiting for Barbro. Any news?

We're compiling a list of everyone

who exits the area.

-What's he doing here?

- He drove Annie and the girl here.

The girl's Dutch. She rented the tent

off Lil' Ola. He fainted when he saw it.

We've got nothing on the guy.

No ID, no passport.

No pants, oddly enough.

They found a hell of a lot

of moped tracks near the footpath.

But no moped.

He's not fit to drive home.

Who was in the tent, then?

A guy and a girl?

I've given him a Valium.

He can take one more if need arises

today or tomorrow. Max three a day.

But they were foreigners?

And the mother with the girl found them?

I don't know.

I have to get back.

- Have you seen Barbro?

- No, why should I have?

- Oh, the fish!

- What fish?

Can I put my fish in your freezer? We

caught them last night. They'll spoil.

GROUSE UNPLUCKED

What the hell are you up to?

- I said, what the hell are you up to?

- Calm down.

I'll come back for my fish.

What's your name?

Ylajali Happolati.

I thought you sounded Finnish.

Don't ever say that to a Finland-Swede.

And I just made Happolati up.

You looked so hungry.

You can call me Ylja.

That'll do fine.

How old are you?

17

Are you going somewhere?

You've gotten yourself into trouble.

If you need some time to think,

you can stay with us for a while.

My family has a place.

Do you know what this is?

- Some drug you know of?

- No.

- Have you found a syringe?

-No.

There she is.

- It says Barbro. What is this?

- "Barbro Lund and son."

- It's a list of those who left the area.

- It's Barbro. Lund is her maiden name

- Why would she give her maiden name?

- She uses it to sign her works.

Well, she was questioned this morning.

You got your wife back.

There was no cause for alarm. Go home.

Why didn't you say

your son went with her?

Hello?

Barbro.

Barbro?

Are you weaving?

Didn't you hear about the murders?

Oh, it's horrible.

- "Barbro Lund with son," it said.

- It was a joke.

We joked about me being old enough

to be his mom.

-Who?

- One of the activists. Ayoung guy.

- Before we knew what had happened.

- Who was he?

One of the young activists.

They call him the River Saviour.

- The guy with the Jesus hair?

- Precisely.

Hungry? I can fry the fish

me and Ake caught.

No, I'm good.

We've got lemons,

and I've got a Mosel in the fridge.

Why weren't you

with the other activists?

- Where were you last night?

- We stayed at Stjarnberg.

- Relax. I didn't see anything.

- You'd better call Ake Vemdal

- They might be looking for him.

- No ... What are you accusing me of?

- I'm just trying to understand.

- You're unbelievable!

Two people were bestially murdered -

- and you stoop to being jealous.

Stop it.

I've just been worried for you.

How petty can you be?

Barbro ...

Why must you belittle everything?

Don't touch me.

- Hello, Dan.

- Hello, Mia.

- Where's Annie?

- She's sleeping.

I'll go talk to her.

Wait out here.

- Why didn't you meet us at the bus?

- I just came from there. You were gone.

- It was yesterday. Midsummer Eve.

- You've been here since yesterday?

- You thought we said Midsummer Day?

- Sorry.

I'm sorry.

- How did you find us?

- Lie still.

It was ...

It was me ...

I found them.

In the tent.

Fucking pigs.

I need to make a call.

- It itches.

- I know ... Let me see.

We'll rub some ointment on them.

- Who was it?

- No one special.

I want to go home!

Sweetie, we're going to Stjarnberg.

We won't go the same way as yesterday.

The other kids are excited to see you.

We're going to live there with them.

- Right, Dan?

- Yes, they can't wait to meet you.

She's tired.

It's been a tough night for her.

I want to go home!

- I want to go home!

- Stop it.

- Stop it, Mia! Stop.

- I want to go home!

Stop the car.

Stop the car, please.

Sure,relax.

Mia, stop.Stop!

Stop!

Mia!

Stop! Calm down.

Stop it. Stop it!

Don't do that.

Dan knows another way around the

mountain. It won't be like yesterday.

- I don't want to!

- You have to!

I'm sorry. Come here.

- You can still change your mind.

-What?

- You can still change your mind.

- What?

- You should only come if you want to.

- What the hell are you talking about?

I've lost my job because of you.

I've sold my stuff, given up

my apartment, everything because of you.

I've got nothing to go back to,

so no, I can't change my mind.

Okay, then. Great.

Let's go.

- He hasn't come home.

-What?

Johan hasn't come home.

They found some people

in a tent at Lobber River.

Murdered.

-Who?

-Tourists.

Have you seen Johan? He'd better have

a damned good explanation.

From your belly hangs your willy

like a golden tulip bud.

From your belly hangs your willy

like a golden tulip bud.

FURUNES GENERAL STORE

- Oh, there's a road here?

- They keep clearing new logging roads.

They're probably logging here soon.

But we hope they won't come

any closer to Stjarnberg.

- Petrus doesn't want us using them.

- Can't we walk along them?

Hey...

Come along.

Mia...

Here they come!

-Welcome.

-Annie.

I'm Petrus.

And you must be Mia.

Two brave pilgrims.

Come along.

Welcome. We've been looking forward

to meeting you.

I'm Brita.

Sigrid, Gertrud, say hello to Mia.

Hello.

Bert and Enel.

Here comes Onis straight from the

milking. Say hello to the newcomers.

Hello. Marianne Ohnberg.

But you can call me Onis.

Annie Raft.

You must be exhausted after the hike.

Dan will show you to your rooms.

Dan.

Please show Annie and Mia to their beds.

We'll eat soon.

In here.

Lotta ... Lotta.

This is Annie and Mia.

Hi.

I'll leave you to get settled in.

I'll get some blankets.

Is this free?

You didn't plan on rooming

with someone else, huh?

Oh no ...

Who else lives here?

Or I mean, in which houses?

There's only this.

Oh, and the farmhouse.

Petrus and Brita live there.

Bert and Enel live in there

with their daughter.

Onis lives there with her ... Mats.

There's only one bed.

Or rather two beds, you know ...

Mia, do you want

the top or the bottom bunk?

Isn't this nice?

We can drape a sheet

and make a little den.

- Why are her teeth so grey?

- Hush, Mia.

- Is she sick?

-Hush!

Damn! Dammit!

You don't have to rush off like this.

Petrus!

I won't room with them!

Petrus!

I don't want to room with them!

What the hell is this?

You said we'd have our own house.

You and I.

It didn't work out that way.

But you said ..

- It'll be okay.

-What?

- Lotta got angry.

- Never mind. She's not doing so well.

-Why?

She's in a bad mood.

- She's going cold turkey.

- Is she in treatment?

She's here. That's enough.

We have to walk the last stretch.

55 minutes.

You carry the booze.

You can let the eel out here.

You can sleep in the hunting shed.

You and I have to do something first.

Then you can sleep.

Mia, eat something. Try it.

Whispering is nasty.

It smells horrible.

Like the inside of a shoe.

I'm sorry.

But the child is right.

It smells like fur, doesn't it?

What a nice image, Mia.

You have a very vivid language. Good.

It's goat's milk. That's the milk

we drink here at Stjarnberg.

It smells differently

but you'll get used to it.

Did you hear they busted

Yvonne from Roback?

She took a batch of marijuana

across the border.

She and two Norwegians were on their way

to a party when the cops stopped them.

But she said she wasn't selling.

That dirt grass

wasn't worth selling anyway.

- Does she still have the VW van?

- Customs searched it.

Did they find the marijuana

in the crevice?

Don't worry.

Nobody's touched it.

- Lotta's sleeping in the other house.

- Mia's right above us.

She's asleep.

Annie!

AUTUMN 1991

Annie!

We're going to continue tonight, right?

Let's take a break now.

Go home and get something to eat.

We'll meet up at seven.

If Annie's out there, we have

to find her. There's no time to waste.

Hello, Mom.

Do you want something to eat?

Bjorne and I just ate.

- How is he?

- He's okay.

He goes in for electric shock treatment

once a month, but he works hard.

I didn't know you knew Mia Raft.

She's my girlfriend.

- You've put the farm up for sale?

- Yes, when Torsten died.

You didn't attend his funeral.

Why are you so hard?

What did I do?

Everything I've ever done,

I've done for you, Johan.

- You don't have to do that.

- You should check the oil regularly.

It consumes more than you think.

- Long time.

- Yes.

- I hear you're living in the trailer.

-Yeah.

In The Area.

I like it up there.

Do you think we'll find her?

Annie's a nice lady.

We'll keep looking.

Annie!

Annie!

No!

Let go! No!

Mom!
