Held!

Her.

Group 1 for Tanja.

Well.

Birger Ericsson, 83 years old. Died of natural causes.

I guess he wandered around up there, fell and hit his head.

See that rock sticking up there? There's blood on it.

That's probably where he hit his head.

Who are you?

Tanja Thorell. Local branch manager of Missing People.

Okay, Tanya. Now you can leave it to us.

-Yes of course. -Thanks.

Hey, Myra!

-You are late. -Yes sorry.

We finally found him. Death.

Reach. You know, I have to coach the boys' team today.

So I have to be there inside setting up cones.

Yes, you must apologize for that!

I don't understand why you do that.

I 'm sure there are others who can look for bodies.

Birgers.

- His name was Birger. -Congratulations on the.

Congratulations? He is dead.

She has eaten. See you in a week.

Daddy's leaving now, honey.

I love you.

CHANGING FORESTRY

CONTAIN GROWTH AND DEFORESTATION

-Hi Dad. -Hey darling.

-Did you have a nice trip? -Yes.

-Welcome home. -Thanks.

-Congratulations on the exam! -Thanks!

Come on.

I want to show you something.

What is it?

CHANGING FORESTRY

-What is it? - My thesis.

-Is it? -Yes.

It took me six months and my professors were happy with it.

It was one of the best they had seen.

-Wow how nice! - It's really beautiful, my dear.

So.

"Forestry in change." What is it about?

About us.

-About us? -Yes.

How we can adapt to the future.

The future...?

-What will happen in the future? -It is...

...a lot. You can modernize the company with new technology

-digital mapping, run analyzes through the computer and adapt...

But what does that have to do with us?

I have...

I used satellite images to color our forest areas.

- Green is for new planting... - That's enough, Sanna. Thanks.

-But if you just look here... -Do you want to wash the dishes or chop firewood?

What have?

Fine, I'll wash up.

So.

Just ignore him. You know what he's like.

According to him, everything that comes from a computer is dangerous.

Ignore him.

- It's easy for you to say. -What do you mean?

You, who are studying to be a teacher and live with your girlfriend in the city.

Men...

If life here on the farm doesn't work, you can do something else.

- No, I'll take over here. -Why though?

Who else would do it?

I have to go, but it was good to see you.

Demented pensioner found by the police. Lying dead in the woods

It was then Missing People...

It was Missing People who found him.

What are you doing?!

-You scared me. - Sorry, that was not the intention.

Maybe a little...

Here is really nice.

And quiet.

I haven't seen you for a long time.

You studied forestry didn't you too?

Was it difficult?

Lots of tests and such?

Hallo?

Did your father tell you not to talk to me?

Tell now.

I want to hear everything.

There are many small sawmills here.

If you bought some of them, you could increase production-

-and maybe keep prices down and compete with the Baltics.

You can invest in exotic trees such as poplar and larch.

-They grow faster. -Okay.

It would streamline the entire production chain.

Then you map with drones and run it through a computer.

-Can you do that? - Yes, it's easy.

Wow!

It must be worth its weight in gold to your father to have such a genius as you.

Tell him.

Maybe I do too.

Or you could say it yourself.

I brought coffee.

Thanks darling.

Sheep? Can you just see this?

And.

-Down here... -Yes?

Growth has been bad here, hasn't it too?

Jo.

We could clear the area with a more efficient forestry machine-

-before autumn comes.

Why?

Then we can process the tree stumps more easily.

-And reduce the risk of rot... -The risk of rot...

It's all time, Sanna. Did you learn that in school?

And.

It is good that you are ambitious.

But we do now as we have always done.

Why? I see it as the first step.

A new forestry machine could streamline production even more.

- Do you know how much such a thing costs? -Yes I do.

It will be of great benefit in the long run.

-And if we hired guest workers... -Guest workers?

What are you talking about? I'm glad you're ambitious, Sanna.

I know many who invested everything they owned-

-and after a few hard years they had nothing left.

What you are talking about would cost up to 12 million.

That's 4.2 million.

You have money. Alot.

Yes I have.

Because I never listened to all these idiots-

- with their stupid ideas.

Where are you going, Sanna? We have lots to do!

- It's Tanja. -Hey, is it Missing People?

Yes, what can I help with?

I found your number on your Facebook page.

I need help finding a missing... A missing person.

Of course I'll help you.

So it is your father who has disappeared?

And.

Did you take a picture with you?

And.

How long has he been missing?

-Two years. -Two years?

- Sorry ... - Hey!

It's alright.

I...

I just miss him so much.

I need to know what happened.

And.

- I have to know. -I understand that.

Hey...

Do you have any...

Do you have any idea what might have happened?

I... I don't know.

No one knows anything... I...

I spoke to the police but they don't know anything and they...

They seem completely unconcerned.

It's probably too late anyway...

No. It's never too late.

It's never too late. Remember it.

I will help you.

I promise we'll find your father.

Come on!

Off!

Come on!

Drop it, Marcus.

What are you doing, Marcus? Stop it there.

You are so cute when you smile.

Hold on now.

Well, I think so.

I always say it like it is.

That's how I am.

I always speak my mind.

Are you taking over the farm from your father?

Of course. I will expand it gradually.

-What are you thinking? - I want to increase meat production.

Maybe try another breed: Hereford cattle.

- I also want pigs. -How can you afford it?

-What do you mean? - These kinds of investments are expensive.

- Don't you think I know? -Of course.

But it's good that I have you to be able to ask for advice.

You are the smartest person I know.

And the nicest...

- I'd better go home. -Yes.

-Hello Sanna. -Hello.

-How is your father? -Fine.

Great. Ask him to travel through Pomerania to

See you.

-Where the hell have you been? - I was just driving around.

-For three hours? -Yes.

You were supposed to receive a shipment from Gustavsson.

He was waiting when I came back from the mill.

Sorry.

It's the second shipment this week!

You should also change the oil on the forestry machine.

-IM doing it now. -Look to get it done.

Hello. Did you forget something?

No... I just wanted to say hello.

Aha.

-So... -I miss you already.

You too.

Hi.

Can't sleep either?

There is tea in the pot.

I just calculated your monthly salary.

Okay.

Come right here, Sanna.

I thought of...

You can get DKK 1,000 more if you want...

If you want to visit your friends in Gammelkroppa.

Alright thanks.

Shall we play yatzy or something?

I have to go to bed.

Bengt Ljungqvist, 62 years old. Disappeared two years ago.

He owns a lot of land in Eketorp. Actually the whole city.

Almost all residents rent land from Bengt.

His property stretches from here...and all the way here.

There is both forest and agricultural land.

Bengt also manages a large forestry company.

According to the daughter, Emelie, he often inspected the property.

My theory is that he fell and was stuck somewhere in the woods-

- and that his body lies somewhere in the area.

-Weren't the police looking for him? - Yeah.

But they only searched the small area around his farm.

We have to search it all: Forests, fields, streams...

-Should we search all that? -Yes.

- It's at least... - 662 hectares of land.

862 hectares of forest.

It will take forever and require many volunteers.

-Five hundred should be enough. -Five hundred?

- That must be your joke! -No.

There are phone lists on your table, so it's just a matter of getting started.

Let's get started.

-Came. -Where are you going?

To the police to get permission for the search.

-You don't have a permit yet? - I'll get it now.

In the meantime, just start calling around .

Look at those idiots.

They haven't done anything to the road for months, but now it suits them?

Move now, dammit!

They must have dug up gravel inside the forest-

- and pocketed the road tax.

Are you ashamed of me?

Of course I don't.

You know what he's like.

My dad thinks it's just fine.

Well, it's your father.

-Will you call me later? -Yes of course. Go now.

I think I'm paralyzed. I can't move my legs.

- Come on, Marcus. -I mean it. See!

See! You must give me a kiss-

-otherwise I'll stay here all day and shake.

Damn it!

Now please go.

I'll call you later.

-What are you doing here? -What is he doing here?

-Don't say anything to dad. -He will freak out.

Namely, don't say anything.

- Isn't that family a little strange? - Only father thinks so.

Haven't you heard the story of Marcus and the calf?

They got a deformed calf that had to be killed-

-and then Marcus kicked it to death with his steel-toed boots.

It's just a rumor. People say so much rubbish.

-Hi. Welcome. -Hi.

-Hi. -Hi there.

It was a long time ago.

Hey!

Come on in. Good to see you.

The road association's finances are good.

However, I still propose that we raise the road tax.

Why?

-Yes, for future expenses. -Could you elaborate further?

There could be...

Your rental costs have not increased in years.

Then I may be forced to increase them.

It is only a suggestion. If no one agrees with me, then…

- Then we just drop it. -Wait a minute.

We must of course raise the road tax.

And you have calculated that yourself?

The summer rain is worse than ever. The road cracks.

In order to be able to maintain the road, we therefore need more money.

Unless you want to drive on a road full of potholes.

There may be other holes...

...you would prefer to stick the money?

You can't just sit there and think you can decide everything!

It doesn't seem as if there are others here who want to raise the road tax.

- Because they are slaves! -Listen up!

If you cannot maintain the road with the allocated funds,

-then we switch to an external contractor!

Hold on now.

We are wearing ourselves to death maintaining that road!

Does anyone here think we should raise the road tax?

No? Obviously not. Then we continue.

What's the next item on the agenda, Roger?

We have: Location of the snow clearing markers.

We're leaving now.

Come on, Marcus.

Are you coming?

Sanna?

What will you? What's going on here?

-Come on, Sanna. We are leaving now. -What the hell does this mean?

You're not going anywhere! Do you hear!

Wait a minute, damn it!

Now listen to me! They are only after money!

- You don't understand anything! -What don't I understand?

That they are totally incompetent fools?

You stay away from him!

It's Marcus. Leave a message.

Answer me now, Marcus!

I'm such a clown. Sorry. Sorry!

I hate that old idiot!

Sorry, Marcus!

Answer me now!

Unfortunately, I cannot grant any permission.

-Why not? - It is an ongoing investigation.

I don't want to risk evidence or testimony.

- He disappeared two years ago. - It is still an open investigation.

- So what have you found? -It is none of your business.

If you'll excuse me, I'm busy.

Two years have passed...

...and the Ljungqvist family still lives in total uncertainty.

Don't we owe it to them to do everything we can?

-You only searched the small area. - Yes, because we don't have the resources.

I have! I have 500 people who can start tomorrow.

Let's search all of Bengt's property.

So we can give the family peace.

Which family members have you spoken to?

His daughter, Emelie.

-Nobody else? -No.

Fine.

- I approve your search. -Thanks.

But stay away from the farm. Do not talk to the current owner.

-Why not? - Did I speak indistinctly?

No.

Sometimes I wish he would die.

Get cancer or get stuck under the forestry machine.

Or fall into the lake...

Like a fishing accident or something.

What do you mean?

Nothing. I'm just rambling.

You are a fool.

-You and I. -You and I.
