The following story is based on real events.

Names and details have been changed.

Hello. This is Bengt Ljungqvist's answering machine.

I am not available right now. Please enter your name and phone number-

-and I'll be back.

Hi Dad. It is me.

I just want to say sorry... Because we got into an argument yesterday.

Where are you? Are you coming home soon?

Are you coming?

Come on.

I said come!

-Is everything okay? -What?

As for the child? Are you feeling bad?

I read that sucking on an ice cube helps.

If you have ice cubes in the freezer, I can get them.

-Hello? -Hi. How are you?

-Fine. -Well.

- Is dad there? -No.

I can't get hold of him. He has to help me in the kitchen.

Our faucet is broken and he promised to help me.

Do you know where he is?

-Hello? -He has left.

Okay... Where to?

I do not know.

That sounds strange.

And.

It does not work.

You would think you got value for money with 500 kroner.

-Mm. - What a piece of shit!

-Are you just going to sit there? -I do not know how to do it.

Do you think I do?

- Is it set to max? - Yes, of course it is set to max!

Maybe we should just kill ourselves?

Hold that up.

PAS Bengt Ljungqvist

It'll be great.

Now we get a lot more space.

You can enjoy yourself with the child, go on maternity leave and...

I want to work.

Yes, of course, but…

You can do it your way.

Modernize and things like that...

Hire some guest workers...

I promise, everything will be fine.

-Good morning! -Hi what do you want?

- We will expand the search. -Why?

- You have searched his property. - Not the farm.

As I have already said, we searched it.

-What about Sanna and Marcus? -What?

I think there's something they're hiding in the yard.

-I'm not sure. I was there... -Were you there?

Didn't I say clearly-

- that you should stay away from the farm and the current owners?

Yeah, but you didn't say it was his daughter.

What does that have to do with the case?

Are they under suspicion?

As I said: We have already searched the farm. Long time ago.

Bengt is not there. We don't even know if he's dead.

-It is him. -To have?

Sanna and Marcus have motives.

Bengt had a huge property, which they have taken over-

-and they seem completely unconcerned about finding Bengt.

I have never experienced that with other families. Never.

Not that?

Do you care? His other daughter, Emelie, thinks you don't care.

We cannot actively investigate a two-year-old case with no leads.

So use me! I have plenty of time and I am…

...no police officer.

No, but I...

Do you know the difference between this and a real murder investigation?

Body of the crime.

-What is it? - Corpus delicti.

No body. No crime.

Missing People has done a good and thorough job.

We appreciate that, but enough is enough.

Go back to your normal life, Tanja.

And let's do our job.

The dung car, that is!

- Now be careful. -Nothing is happening.

Well, think of the child.

After all, it's no bigger than a fist.

I just thought...

It's really nice!

Do not you think?

I told you, you were a skilled interior designer.

-What was it? -Nothing.

But why won't dad listen?

You know what he can be like.

He keeps to himself, especially after an argument.

Did you two argue before he left?

-Yes. -About what?

About the farm and all that...

Why didn't you tell me?

I do not know. I must go to bed now.

Yes... But can I visit tomorrow?

- No, it's not that good. -Why not?

We replace the chains on the forestry machine.

You and Marcus?

And.

Does he live on the farm now?

No, he... He's just helping me.

I guess that's also nice enough.

Yes, but we'll talk later.

And.

-Hello? -Hi.

-Is it Missing People? - Yes...

Great! I found your number on Facebook.

My grandmother has disappeared...

-I do not have time. Try another one. - She's been gone for two...

There are other numbers on Facebook, so try them. Goodbye.

-Hi. -Hey.

Commissioner Andersson. I...

I'm looking for Sanna. She lives here?

-Yes. -Is she at home?

Could I talk to her?

-And where does Bengt sleep? -On top.

Sparing furnishings.

He works a lot so…

Naturally.

It's hard to look after such a farm here.

Yes, namely.

And now you are responsible for it all yourself?

I help her.

-What's in here? - Uh...

A guest room.

- Now you kill? -And.

There was moisture damage, so we had to repair it.

Germany, you say?

Yes. I'm not quite sure-

-but he is often down there on business.

And he's been gone for a month?

-Yes. -Without making a sound?

His passport is also gone.

Yes, your sister mentioned that.

She was the one who reported him missing, wasn't she?

Jo.

Aren't you worried?

No...

Yes, of course I am, but...

Should I be?

I do not know.

People disappear all the time. For various reasons.

After all, we found Bengt's car.

An illegally parked BMW at the station in the city.

-You haven't used it? -No.

No.

- Then we say it. - I just have a question.

And.

- About the car... - Yes ?

Can't Sanna get it back?

It just needs to be examined first, but otherwise it should be fine.

It's not my department, so…

Why would you ask about the car?

Are we going to drive around in the old bucket forever?

- No, but... - But what?!

- I'm buying a new one. -When?

Soon, but for now we have to keep a low profile.

Mind your own business. I'll take care of it.

Do it.

And.

And don't tell me what to say or not to say.

You have a new message.

Hello, this is Emelie.

I heard you guys have finished the search for dad, so...

I just wanted to know if you found anything.

You promised to call me when you were done.

You may still be looking for him.

I guess you can call when you get my message. Hello.

-Hello? -Hello Sanna.

It's Thomas Andersson from the police.

It was I who visited you in the fall.

Yes, hi.

We want to talk to you and Marcus.

About what?

Do you know if it's a boy or a girl?

-A girl. -Great.

- It's fun with children. -Yes.

When will she arrive?

In about seven months.

Okay.

So at the beginning of April?

And.

So that means you got pregnant two months before?

Before what?

Before Bengt disappeared.

Yes, correct.

What did Bengt think about becoming a grandfather?

- Like that. -Yes?

-Why? - It's an old story, but...

My grandfather and Marcus's grandfather came to blows over some land...

You know how people are in the country. They hold a grudge.

When I started seeing Marcus, dad wasn't too happy.

It's strange because...

My colleague spoke to Marcus, who said that Bengt was happy for him-

- and that he was looking forward to becoming a grandfather.

We've looked a bit at Bengt's accounts, and...

We found something I don't understand. Maybe you can help with that?

On 7 September , your father transferred NOK 200,000-

-from one of his accounts to you.

You can see for yourself here.

NOK 200,000.

Signed by Bengt Ljungqvist on September 7, 2012.

A week after he disappeared.

Is there something you want to tell me, Sanna?

I...

I was the one who signed.

We have fixed expenses for the farm and the forest.

What should I have done? I ca n't run the business without money.

Do you know what forgery is?

It is punishable.

Sorry.

Fine...

Now we do like this:

We are freezing all of Bengt 's accounts and assets until further notice.

We appoint an accountant who will take care of his finances.

If you need money for the business-

-you must talk to him or her to get it approved.

Okay?

Then we say it.

can i go now

And.

Unless you have something else to add?

- It was a long CV. Yes, I've done quite a bit.

I can see that. Stylist, model...

Mostly in Milan, but I have also worked in Paris.

It sounds wonderful. Hairdresser, kindergarten teacher, security guard

- tour guide, waitress and now in the delicatessen department.

Yes, but I quit. It wasn't really for me.

Aha.

And now you want to be a journalist?

Yes, namely.

I really think it's just me.

I really like people...

...about stories and...

I am passionate about seeking the truth.

When I read your CV, I get the impression of-

-you don't stay at your jobs for so long at a time. That you are a bit...

How can I put it... That you are a little restless.

No... It's more because I like challenges.

But I wanted to stay here. If I got the job, I would stay here-

- and further develop myself in the editorial office. I would like to develop-

- and learn a lot of new things. You would also benefit from that.

I could help you strengthen the relationship with the local community.

I am very, very good with people. I really am.

It sounds really good, but we just have a little problem.

What is it?

- We require certain qualifications. - I learn fast!

-You probably do... -I like writing a lot.

But I don't feel that we...

I had a blog.

-A blog? -A wedding blog.

It was a very popular blog. It was just before my wedding.

One of the three most read blogs in the country.

Really? That is great.

How long have you been married?

- We have been divorced. - Hmm.

Be brave, Tanja.

Be brave…

-You just don't get it! -Which?

- We need money. - Yes, I have understood that.

- Like... - I have paid your salary.

It is not enough. We have expenses and investments.

As long as Bengt has disappeared, it will have to wait.

-And if he doesn't come back? - We must really hope he does.

- This takes time. -How much time?

It can take 15-20 years before a missing person can be declared dead.

It hurts me a lot, but I can't help more than I do.

Ssh!

What are you doing with dad's tractor?

- It's yours too. - Yes, but...

Dad just borrows it. His own is broken.

He's your father-in-law, so show some respect...

Yes sorry.

How did the meeting go?

Not so good.

So you didn't get any money?

-No. -Is that your joke?

And why not?

As long as dad is gone, we won't get any money.

What are you doing, Marcus? Now lend a hand!

Give back to Mother Earth.

Let it go...

...and take a deep breath...

Feel the roots pull all the darkness out of the heart.

"I accept everything I meet on my way."

I accept everything I meet on my way.

"I am strong."

I am strong.

"And I give all my heart can give."

"And I give all my heart can give."

Repeat after me:

"And I give all my heart can give."

I think we're staying here.

Sorry.

What's wrong?

You are unusually absent today, Tanja.

There's something nagging you.

And...

His name is Bengt Ljungqvist.

Could you perhaps...?

I think he has disappeared...

He's gone missing, but I think he's dead.

That he is buried somewhere in the forest.

And...

Water.

Water? What do you mean by water?

-Shh! -Sorry.

He lies in water.

A wreck.

A wreck?

Could it be a car wreck?

Could this mean a car wreck right near water?

-Could it? -Yes.

Is that what you see?

-How big she has grown. -Yes.

Hello. Do you want it?

And.

I have been in contact with Missing People.

What is it?

They are looking for missing people.

I spoke to someone called Tanja. We met in a cafe yesterday.

-And what do they do? - They search the whole forest.

Should they also search Eketorp?

And.

I don't think that's a good idea.

Why not?

I guess we'll have to do everything we can to find dad.

Yes, of course.

I was just thinking about all the neighbors.

You have really made a lot of changes in this house.

It was about time too.

Yes, for sure.

The only question is what Dad will say.

And...

Where did you get all the furniture?

Are they in the barn?

We threw them out.

What have?

They were old.

-Hi. -Hey.

You better go home now.

-What have you got? -Astrid is going to bed, so...

See you.

-All good? -Yes.

Far! Mor!

Mother! Mother...

Mor!

I have so many strange dreams.

Do you have it too?

Has what?

Do you also have strange dreams?

No.

-How old is she? - Eighteen months.

Then a lot happens. This is where their personalities come out.

I really have to go now.

Yes. What's your name?

Marcus.

It was nice meeting you, Marcus. Tanya.

Say hello to Sanna and say I'd like to talk to her.

My contact details are on the website.

What do you want to talk to her about?

- About Bengt. - I said he's not here.

Ssh!

Led!

No, nothing.

-Let's search by the water again. -Let's go home.

No! We have a car wreck and we have water.

That's exactly what she said.

Why won't you tell us who you tipped off?

I never reveal a source.

That's a clear signal!
