Original subtitles

I hear you and your dad weren't close.

He was very sick. I guess he wanted to die on his own terms.

You haven't seen him in seven years. Not since your daughter disappeared.

You think Anton's been kidnapped.

By the same man that took your daughter seven years ago.

You handle your investigation and I'll handle mine.

Don't worry, we'll find him.

- I didn't see Johan after he got sick. - You don't need to explain.

Wait in the car.

This stuff really works?

Meet the demands and it will be over.

- Never. - Then we'll have to do this my way.

I've worn this for seven years. Josefine lost it when she disappeared.

Hello!

Josefine...

- No, Eva! - I'm going to see my daughter!

She's not allowed any visitors.

The dogs caught a scent of something, but who knows what...

Could be Anton.

Oscar!

What are you doing sitting here?

We're about to eat breakfast. Come on.

- I want for Anton to come home. - Me, too.

- I'm sure he'll be back soon. - I want for Anton to come home now.

Hello?

Is anyone there? Hello!

Hi, Eva.

Pekka Koljonen. I don't know if you remember me.

Last time we saw each other I had rubella.

I'm truly sorry for your loss. Your dad was more than a patient to me.

Come with me.

If he's just lost, we ought to have found him by now.

I think we should dedicate our resources to finding a perp instead.

Nothing's pointing to a kidnapping.

We've combed every inch of Silverhöjd. Someone took Anton for a ransom.

-It's the only possibility. -It's one possibility.

But if he was taken, the kidnappers would have made themselves known by now.

Yeah, I don't know... I guess we just have to reassess.

Reassess, how?

- Well... Think bigger. - Bigger, how?

We have to examine everyone who's come into contact with the girl.

But there is nothing suggesting she would be contagious.

- How is she? - No change. But she's stable.

When I was in the woods some plant gave me a rash...

Yeah, that's a hogweed rash. It's the sap that causes it.

Don't worry about it. I'll give you an ointment compress.

You should be back to normal in a couple of weeks.

I found a bottle of morphine that you had prescribed for Dad.

Yes. He was in a great deal of pain for a while.

I administered small, daily doses to him to ease the worst of it.

- You went up to his estate? - Yes.

He didn't want to leave the house, so I had to go there.

- Did you ever see anyone else there'? -It's been so long since I last went.

Johan refused to see me the last few years.

- Even though he was sick? - Yes.

I tried to tell him he needed treatment, but he refused to listen.

So...I'll call you when I get the test results back.

And that's nothing to worry about. I'll get you an ointment compress.

What, he wasn't getting any kind of treatment?

No chemo, no radiation...?

Is that what you heard? That your dad had cancer?

And you didn't see who it was?

No, the thing is, I heard someone was outside the door.

Then I went to check to see if anyone was there, and there was no one.

No other suspicious activities? No one's called, left a message...?

No, I shouldn't have called you...

But I...got so scared so I...

You did the right thing, Lina. Better safe than sorry.

Excuse me.

If you think of anything, just give me a call anytime, OK?

- Thank you. - Can you go out and check on Oscar.

I apologize. She's been...fragile since Anton disappeared.

There was someone here trying to get into the house.

That doesn't worry you?

Of course, but that could have been anybody.

It's been ten days, still no trace of Anton.

Abduction seems more and more likely.

One question... Yeah, go ahead.

Yeah, at work.

Yeah, that's right.

No, I haven't. Yeah...

Yes. I've done every single thing you've asked me to do.

What more do you want me to do?

Yes, I know, but I told you, I haven't had the fucking time!

I'm sorry.

Anton's teddy bear came home.

Hi, Oscar. Sorry... What was that you said?

Anton's teddy bear knocked on the door.

- Really? - Hey, you can't run off like that.

Come on.

I think it's a parasitic disease that attacks the cells and takes over.

- Is there a cure? - I never got that far.

I only obtained a few blood samples. It's not enough.

But now, unfortunately, it seems as though I'll get a second chance.

The girl has the same thing?

We need to do more thorough testing before we know for sure, but...

- Yes, it seems so, I'm afraid. - What happens if you can't find a cure?

Based on your father's blood work... Well, see for yourself here.

The parasite was feeding on his blood.

Its spreading would subside eventually, probably due to a nutrient deficiency.

Then I tried adding drops of water. You can see what happened.

Could someone be trying to get to you by taking Anton?

I don't know. No...

If you do know something, you'd better speak up.

We can't help you unless you help us.

- I just want Anton to come home again. - Yes. We all do.

It's been great seeing you again, Eva. Despite the circumstances.

My door here is always open. OK?

Hey, by the way...

If Dad wouldn't let you see him... did no one look after him?

Well, Gerda, his secretary, was usually around.

- Gerda Gunnarsson? Are you sure? - Yes. She was the one who found him.

I'm so sorry.

Are you OK?

You need it.

No, thanks.

No, thank you!

Hello?

Nicklas! You scare the living daylights out of people when you look like that.

Sorry, Mom.

I'm sorry. He shot a wild boar yesterday.

I'm so happy you came.

You saw my father quite a lot when he was sick, didn't you?

Let's go inside, have a cup of coffee or something.

It's so windy.

I've made a fresh batch of buns.

I was silly not to tell you the truth.

I didn't want you to get the wrong impression.

You're the reason my parents got divorced in the first place...

Yes, we probably have quite a bit to talk about.

We were just friends.

This little thing...

Our little affair...

It ended before you and your mother left Silverhöjd.

Sit.

I just helped him with cleaning, washing, shopping... Practical stuff.

- Oh, sorry. Milk? - Yes.

Did you ever see anyone else at his house?

No, he made it clear he wanted to be alone. No visitors.

Whenever I came over, he'd go to his study and shut himself in.

His personality changed after he got sick.

He became introvert and dark.

It was as though he was tormented by something beyond the disease.

What?

That, I never understood.

That's a beautiful necklace.

It was Josefine's.

You were the one that found him?

Yes, I saw the fire, so I called it in.

But it was only after they put out the fire that they...found him.

Well... Thank you. For taking care of him.

I just wish I...had gotten there a little sooner. But it is what it is.

May 23. Monday. Pm getting worse again.

Blood pressure is 110 over 65.

Terribly thirsty.

June 10. Friday. Blood pressure is 112 over 60.

Right. I can't have any fluids at all. Remember that.

I'll remember, of course I will.

I've conducted a preliminary aerial geophysical survey of the area.

I would strongly advise against taking any type of measures.

Gustaf, I need to talk to you.

As I was saying...

...all of Silverhöjd seems to be built on undermined ground.

A tiny disturbance could cause a landslide.

These sinkholes have arisen through years of erosion.

Any type of invasive measures could make it much, much worse.

We're talking massive landslides.

Gustaf, I need to talk to you.

How in the hell could you be so stupid?

Lina called the police. it was dumb luck that I got to her before they did.

And what did you tell her?

The truth. That Anton's life would be in danger if she told them anything.

- She didn't tell them anything. - Good.

We obviously need to keep the police as far away as possible.

What if they find him?

If they do, what do you think would happen?

The police would only put Anton in even greater danger.

Is that what you want?

Can't we just meet their demands?

You know what's at stake. We want the problem to go away permanently.

And we already have a solution.

My friend...

You have to be patient. We'll see to it that Anton gets home again.

- Did you get rid of the teddy bear? - No...

Make sure it disappears.

We don't want it ending up in the wrong hands, do we?

Thursday. Is it Thursday?

No, it's Friday.

I shouldn't even...be able to sit here.

How long is this going to go on?

Huh? What is it?

No, this is...

I can't even feel my pulse.

It feels just like... there's something growing in here.

Inside.

Like something's about to burst, to creep out...

I need to hurry now, before it's too late.

If only Eva would speak to me.

Hi.

I'm not taking any customers right now.

I'm not going anywhere right now.

Then what do you want?

Can you tell me where you took Olof Gran?

Sure I could.

- But I don't want to. - And why is that?

Don't see any reason to.

I could give you a reason.

I took him where I always take him, down to the ferries.

He usually takes the ferry over to Bräckö.

- Bréck6? - Bréck6.

We're closed.

Jeppe. I didn't recognize you.

- I was just closing up. - But you recognized my 500 kronor bills.

- This is private property! - We need to talk. I have your notebook.

You've got until I've finished this. Have a seat.

What is this?

That's just stuff I do when I'm bored.

Don't worry about it.

You were one of the people who didn't think Josefine drowned.

Yeah, I have always been convinced that she didn't drown.

You think someone took her?

But I don't think it's a coincidence that your daughter went missing.

What do you mean?

I mean, the Thörnblad family has always been at the center of things.

For better, or for worse.

You think my father had something to do with her disappearance?

- Time's up. - Wait a minute. I think you're right.

I'll take the whole box.

Oh, really? Yeah, OK.

Thank you.

THORNBLAD CELLULOSE LOGS THOUSAND-YEAR-OLD FOREST IN SILVERHÖJD

When I started investigating your father, I got pushback from everyone.

I became the madman...

...who accused Johan Thörnblad, your father.

The hero of Silverhöjd.

- What made you suspect him? - This.

Josefine's dress?

The day after her disappearance the lake was thoroughly dragged.

- We found nothing. - I know. I was there.

Six months later, on orders from the then Chief of Police, Halberstad,

we drag the lake again, and that's when that thing turns up.

I started digging around, because it was odd.

Turns out, it was your father who had urged the police to drag the lake again.

You think he planted the dress?

I was never able to prove it.

But when I tried to, he got me fired off the force.

I don't understand why Dad would take Josefine.

I don't think he was the one who took her.

But I do think he knew who took her.

Your father had made an enemy of the forest.

Jeppe!

Are you serious?

Why do you think the forest around Silverhöjd has remained untouched?

It was untouched, until your father took over.

And now another child has gone missing. These signs don't bode well.

There are forces in nature that can be dangerous if they are wronged.

Believe what you will.

But you are in danger if you stay here.

You know what this is?

- Where did you get this? - Among my dad's things.

Can you decipher it?

I've only seen fragments and the odd runes.

Yes. I'll do my best.

Thank you.

- Do we know who this is? - Jeppe.

- Last name? - No idea. Everyone calls him Jeppe.

Been a cabbie here for as long as I can remember.

- Any witnesses? - Shop owner. He's in the ambulance.

- OK, thanks. - Keep people away. Don't tell the press.

No cameras!

- Hi. - Hi. Excuse me.

Hi. Wass, I'm with the police. Can we ask some questions?

Hi. My name is Torn Aronsson. Did you see what happened?

How well did you know him?

He'd come into the shop sometimes. And we'd talk.

Mostly about nothing at all.

Any relatives?

No, he lives alone in a trailer outside of town.

We've got a last name. Bergman.

Let's try to find a relative. Techs can search through this place.

Wait a sec. Come here.

How's it going? Find anything on him?

No. He's not even registered as living in Silverhöjd.

- And the cab company? - There is no cab company.

There isn't even a cab.

According to this, it was de-registered and scrapped in Forsnäs in 1989.

- OK... - How did we miss this?

- He's been a cabbie here forever. - He was never a person of interest.

You don't get your throat slit for nothing.

Tom. It's late. Why don't you go home and get some sleep?

How am I supposed to sleep now?

Anton's still missing, we're stuck, and now this.

The cab driver... Could he have taken Anton?

We'll have to wait for the forensics report.

I'm going home now.

Dad?

Once more in stillness

What did you do to Josefine?

Written in blood

Dad...

All finds its meaning

- Dad! - Deep under the ground...

What did you do to Josefine?

Answer me!

They found you by the shore.

You have to take it easy now.

You were freezing cold and suffered a concussion, so you just rest.

Is that good? OK.

Do you remember what happened?

Someone attacked me on the ferry and hit me over the head.

- Tried to drown me with an anchor. - You saw who it was?

No...

There was a big vehicle... With smiley faces.

It had smiley faces on the light bar.

Anything else?

No. It all happened so fast.

What were you doing on the island?

Olof Gran...lives out there.

Did he say anything about Josefine?

No. Nothing.

I'll let you rest. We'll talk more when you're up and about.

I got you some rum raisin chocolates.

I hope you like them. It was all they had.

I'll post a uniform outside to watch over you.

No... There's no need.

Given everything that's happened, you need all your resources.

We could use you on this, Eva.

All due respect, my faith in the Silverhöjd police isn't great.

Right, but you'd be working for me at the National Bureau.

Full access to case files, all our resources...

I want to find whoever took Anton.

You want to find whoever took Josefine.

It could be the same person.

I'm not here to solve other people's problems.

- Thanks, but no thanks. - I understand.

Well, I...

In case you change your mind.

There. See you.

Thank you for the chocolates.

I hope you like rum raisin.

The man was found yesterday, outside an antique shop in Silverhöjd.

He was found in his cab stabbed to death.

The police denies any connections to the Anton Leander missing-person case.

No, we don't see a connection between these two cases.

We still can't rule out that Anton Leander just got lost.

The area around Silverhöjd is littered with sinkholes and old mine shafts.

A child could fall into these and not be able to get out.

We've got police and volunteers on this search.

How are you?

Shouldn't you be telling me?

How long do I need to stay?

We want to keep you here overnight.

For observation.

Your blood work came back.

Everything is totally normal.

The girl is not contagious.

We...also got the DNA tests back.

Your DNA doesn't match the girl's.

-It's not Josefine. - But...that can't be right.

- You need to redo the tests. - I'm sorry, Eva.

- There is no doubt whatsoever. - I need to see her.

Calm down, Eva. She has worsened. She's quarantined.

I don't give a shit! I need to see her.

No one can see her.

Keep an eye on her.

Anton!

Anton!

Oh, dear...

Let's see. Come here.

Johan, did you do the damage description report? I can't find it.

No, I have not been able to, but...

We usually only get shoplifters and drunk drivers.

And now, all this at once.

A missing child, a cab driver with a slit throat-

-and now this thing with Eva.

What is the lowest common denominator?

Can Tom handle this?

It's hard for him not to get emotionally involved.

But it's what makes him good police.

- Shouldn't he be here by now? - You're right.

- I'll call him. - Yeah.

I'm doubtful we'll find an effective treatment.

So what are we going to do?

I don't know. I've looked at the CAT scan.

I think the only solution is to surgically remove the parasite.

You need to see these X-rays, they're amazing.

We can head down to the lab. You've got time?

Josefine...

It's Mommy.

Mommy is here now, Josefine.

Honey...
