[heavy breathing]

[gasps]

[sighs]

-Hello?

-[groans]

No, shh, shh. No.

Don't wake up yet.

[echoes]

[suspenseful music playing]

[door slams]

[vomits, coughing]

[music fades]

[sighs]

[breathing heavily]

[suspenseful music resumes]

Lejla?

[sharply] Lejla!

[ice cracking]

[Martin] Lejla!

[ice cracking]

[panting]

[music grows frenetic]

[grunts]

[panicked breathing]

[exclaims, gasps]

[grunts]

[groans]

[breathing heavily]

[whimpers]

Ooh!

[vehicle approaching]

[tense music builds]

[car door closes]

Lejla?

[laboured breathing]

[sinister music playing]

THE GLASS DOME

[music fades]

[panting]

[Jorun] No, Said. Stop!

-Stay there. Stay there.

-[officer] Back up. Please stay back.

[solemn music playing]

Come on.

[Said sighs]

Elma! Elma!

[cries] Oh, Elma.

Oh, Elma.

[Tomas] I promise you

we'll find Alicia too.

[mobile phone rings]

[woman] So, he left straight away

after locking you in there?

Do you know where he went?

To see the other girl.

-[dad] Mm-hmm.

-Okay.

-Tomas, Valter keeps on ringing…

-[woman] Did he say anything?

-Jorun, not now.

-I know.

But he's ringing from the hospital,

and he's saying that… [inhales]

…Lejla has been drugged by Frick.

[dramatic music playing]

[monitor beeping]

[music fades]

-Hi.

-[Valter] Hi.

[Tomas] How's she doing?

They're saying she's stable.

But I don't know.

[Tomas] Has she said anything?

I should have kept an eye on her.

[sighs]

I'm a f*cking useless father to her.

[Tomas] No.

You rescued her.

Again.

Now it's your job to find that b*stard.

[gloomy sting music playing]

[laughter]

[Jim] Oh, look, here's the constable.

Our boy in blue. Good day to you.

Why are you loitering around here?

You do know there are

better hunting grounds outside of town?

-Depends on what you're hunting.

-Is that so?

Yeah, I've heard that paedophiles

often hang around in built-up areas.

-[Jim laughs]

-Paedophiles?

You know,

the ones who abduct little girls.

You lot won't do anything about it,

so we're stepping in.

And the b*stard better hope

we don't find him first.

-Right? Right, huh? He's in for it.

-[laughter]

I think there are better places to hunt

paedophiles than outside a police station.

You sure about that?

All of you, get out of here.

-Tomas, come on.

-What is it?

[mocking] "Tomas, come on".

[all laughing]

-They've found Frick's cabin.

-What?

-Yeah.

-Why didn't you call to let me know?

You were coming anyway.

Yeah, but you could

have f*cking called me.

-But…

-I told you to.

[tense music playing]

-Hi.

-[Jorun] Hi.

How's Lejla?

[Tomas] She'll be fine.

-[Björn] Have you taken her statement?

-No.

Take a look at this.

Blocked in.

What about buses and trains?

[Björn] We have people out

since last night. And roadblocks.

-No trace at all?

-No.

[boot slams shut]

Ah, so he hasn't left Granås, perhaps?

-Mm-hmm.

-[Björn] Follow me.

[gloomy string music plays]

-[Tomas] Hi, there.

-Oh, hi.

-[Tomas] Can I go inside?

-Yeah, we're done. You can go in.

[Tomas] Thanks.

[camera beeps, snaps]

-Hi.

-[officer] Hi.

[music fades]

-Can I, uh…

-Yeah, go ahead.

Hmm.

Right, Lejla. It's not

a very nice c*ck you were given.

I found high levels

of the substance ketamine,

which can be used as an anaesthetic.

Also, a sleeping agent called zolpidem.

So, well, it's amazing

that you even managed to stand up.

I'd like to keep you in here

for a while for observation.

-No.

-[Valter] Yeah, but…

There's still some risk of complications.

Heart failure, seizures,

rapid changes in your condition.

You could experience nightmares,

and you might act irrationally.

A chat with our psychologist

could be helpful.

That could be good, Lejla.

I want to go home.

[straw slurps]

Tomas is here.

Is that okay?

[Tomas] Judging from the books

that we found in Frick's flat,

he seems to have

a sick fascination for child abductors.

And your file seems to be high on his list

of personal favourites, so to speak.

He seems to have a fixation with Granås.

We found lots of his drawings

had themes around these parts.

Including this farm, Valter.

How the hell can a maniac like that

get his parole approved?

Yeah. The psychiatric hospital

said he was rehabilitated.

But the first thing he did

when he was released

was to come here

and pick a victim, Alicia.

So, then he met you, he must have thought

all his Christmases had come at once.

Unless that's why

he came here in the first place.

The girl we found in the flat says

that Frick talked about someone else.

So, we think he has another site

where he's holding Alicia.

But you met him and went for a drink.

What did you talk about?

[Lejla] Alicia.

And, uh…

The latest one.

Elma.

Then he had some theories

about the kidnapper that I thought were…

[sighs] …well, uh, interesting.

Then you went home with him?

Yes.

I did that.

Was that by choice?

There's one more thing.

The flat in Mora was full of stuff

relating to Lejla.

Pictures, and articles,

or… newspaper cuttings.

Most of that can be found on the Internet,

but there were some personal items too.

Your old school books, for example.

Isla doesn't remember him taking

anything from your room.

-He's been in her room before?

-Yes, most likely.

Stay there.

[tense music playing]

[Lejla] He's taken it.

It was here, the box.

[sighs]

Are you sure it's okay to take

all of those at once? Eh?

Lejla…

[Lejla] I'm going to stay in the US.

I can't live in Sweden.

It's suffocating here.

[gloomy string music playing]

[man] Alicia!

[Said] Alicia!

Alicia!

[echoes] Alicia!

[breathing deeply]

[faint banging]

-[sharp distortion]

-[gasps softly]

[banging]

[indistinct muttering]

[banging]

[indistinct muttering continues]

[flames crackling]

Wear your coat, Lejla.

Otherwise, you'll get cold.

[flames crackle]

[mobile phone rings]

[ringing continues]

[Said] Lejla?

Hi, it's Said.

-Uh-huh…

-Sorry, did I wake you?

Mm.

I heard that you were home

from the hospital. Are you okay, Lejla?

Yes, I'm fine.

Okay.

Shall I… Should I ring…

We'll talk tomorrow, so you can rest.

No, no. I'm just a bit tired.

Hey, did he say something? Frick?

Anything about Alicia?

He doesn't have Alicia.

Sorry?

She's with Ecki.

I saw him.

By the fire.

Fire? Who's Ecki?

Hello? Lejla?

Who's that? Have you seen her?

Are you making stuff up?

[call disconnects]

Hello?

[scanner whirring]

Where are you going?

I need to see Tomas.

-Is he expecting you?

-It's important. Please.

Who is Ecki?

[sighs]

It's like this.

Lejla has been through a lot of stuff,

and all of it still affects her, even now.

So, she identifies with

everything that's happened.

She's incredibly good at what she does,

but we're trying to conduct

a police investigation.

And I have no doubt that if we find Frick,

then we'll find Alicia.

You were sure on other occasions, though.

Okay.

I'll put it another way.

The most likely scenario

is that Frick has Alicia,

not some ghost from the past.

We'll find Frick.

There's an arrest warrant out,

so just try to hang on a bit longer.

At the start of the investigation,

you wasted the first 48 hours on me.

You still have no idea

who Louise was having an affair with.

Her mobile's still missing.

Alicia's missing.

You talk about a warrant while

you drink coffee. You having a laugh?

Can't you just talk to Lejla?

She knows something, I'm sure.

Where the f*ck were you?

Hey.

[sighs] It's f*cking icy.

You're wasted.

[laughs] You're the one who's wasted.

What the…

[Jim pants]

-What the hell's this?

-[mutters indistinctly]

[Tage] Blood?

What have you done?

Huh?

[dark music plays]

Hunting.

[both grunting]

[Jim groans]

Give me your coat.

[sombre music rises]d

[spits]

Go and get yourself clean.

And then you go to bed.

-Did you hear me?

-[Jim panting]

[music fades]

[indistinct office chatter]

-[Lejla] Hi.

-[Kristina] I heard what happened.

Oh, how horrible for you.

Yeah.

How are you?

-It's, uh, under control.

-[door closes]

[Said] Thank you for coming.

So, I went to see Tomas,

and he doesn't believe in

your theory at all.

So, we'd love to hear it

straight from you.

What makes you so certain?

Certain?

Mm. What you said to me yesterday.

Uh…

You said that

it isn't Frick who's got her.

You said there was a man by the fire.

Ecki. Who is that?

What, so you're saying I…

-Did I say that to you?

-When we talked last night.

Hmm. Well, sorry,

but I don't remember saying that.

[sighs]

Okay, so what do you think?

Does Frick have her or not?

Yesterday, I was pretty out of it.

-What the f*ck? Are you joking?

-I'm sorry…

Look, I apologise if I made it sound like

I may have some kind of answer for you.

[door opens]

[door slams shut]

I wish I could help her.

I know that.

[tense music playing]

What is that?

[liquid dripping]

[music intensifies]

[music fades]

[camera shutter clicks]

[Jorun] Daniel Frick.

The hospital has confirmed it.

[man] An incision through

the heart muscle, drained of blood.

[Said] What do you want me to tell you?

I was here at work.

-[officer] When?

-[Said] Before we called you.

-[Jorun] Tomas, what is it?

-[Tomas] What the hell do you think?

How are we going to find Alicia,

now he's been m*rder*d?

How is it possible

an entire force fails to find Frick?

When the f*cking b*stard who did that

clearly had no problem whatsoever?

You should calm down right now!

[car door opens]

[door closes]

[gloomy string music playing]

-[Tomas] Where's Jim?

-[man] He's through there.

[woman] Come on now! One more.

Come on now!

[upbeat music playing loudly]

-[grunts] Take it.

-Was it you, you b*stard?

What the f*ck's wrong with you?

[laughs]

You've lost the plot.

Not guilty. [laughs]

Not guilty.

[laughing]

What is it?

Where were you

and your hunting crew last night?

-Huh?

-What's going on here?

Hi, Papa.

He's gonna tell me

what the f*ck he did last night!

Why? What went on last night?

Someone was m*rder*d.

What have I got to do with that?

Are you even allowed to be here?

Why are you f*cking so dumb?

Tomas! Do you have anything on him?

Huh?

[chuckles]

Then I would suggest that you leave.

Go on, then.

-Right now.

-[Jim chuckles]

Listen to Papa. [grunts]

-You should watch yourself.

-[Jim laughs]

-Shut your mouth. Shut it!

-You shut it!

I'm going to shut that f*cking mouth

of yours, boy, count on it!

[locker clatters]

[tense music playing]

[loud slam]

[romantic pop music playing on radio]

[footsteps approaching]

-[Tomas] Get those analysed.

-What is that?

-The boots Jim was wearing.

-Have you been to Jim's?

-Did you have a warrant to go there?

-There's blood on them.

[sizzling]

[door closes]

[Valter] Oh, it's cold outside.

[shivers]

Something smells nice.

I found a flight to take me back.

Via Munich on Thursday.

Okay.

So, you're taking that one?

But, uh, wouldn't it be wise

to take the doctor's advice?

And you know, you could, uh,

speak to a psychologist before you leave?

No. It's okay.

I've tried my best, but it doesn't feel

like I'm getting anywhere.

I thought I'd be able to make

a difference with the investigation.

I thought I could solve the case.

It doesn't matter.

I'm going to leave.

Yeah. I understand.

Understood.

[sighs]

Here you are.

[Lejla] There's no sender.

-Let's see.

-Mm.

[Valter] Hm.

No, no, no, no.

Get your hands off. Don't touch it.

Yeah, okay.

Is that really necessary?

[ominous music rises]

What is it?

Can you tell me what it is?

Is that Alicia's?

No, it's mine.

-[Tomas] Was it lying in the letterbox?

-[Valter] Yeah, some nerve.

From now on,

I want surveillance here 24/7.

[music fades]

[Tomas] I can sort that out.

But we have to confirm

that it really is Lejla's hair.

[Lejla] I'm completely sure.

That's my scrunchie there.

He took it when he cut my hair.

That was the last thing he did

before it was meant to end.

I really think it isn't Frick

who took Alicia.

[Tomas] So, how do you suggest

that we move on with this?

Well, there's an investigation

that you could start with, though.

Twenty-two years worth of material.

-That didn't go anywhere.

-[Valter] No.

But with a fresh pair of eyes on it,

you could actually get somewhere,

if you would care to open

the investigation again.

Come on, Tomas, this isn't a competition.

We all need to go through

every bit of evidence.

Including you, Valter.

[dramatic music playing]

[Valter] Buh, buh, buh, buh, buh.

Mm-hmm. There.

[music ends]

Elisabeth Byfeldt,

Eva Fransén, Tova Danielsson.

Inas Jović, the container girl.

I'm convinced there's something more here.

INAS JOVIĆ, 11

REPORTED MISSING 4/29/93

What?

You looked into Inas Jović.

-[Tomas] Yeah.

-Could you not do any more?

-First of all, I've already…

-We'll check it out.

Great.

Then there's Frick.

Frick?

[Lejla] He was slaughtered like an animal.

Hung up there, drained of blood.

This is pure hatred.

Frick tried to be Ecki.

And he was punished.

So, you believe that

your perpetrator m*rder*d Frick?

Mm.

Good job.

[office phone ringing]

[sniffs] Hmm.

Good morning.

[footsteps approaching]

-Hello.

-[Valter] Björn will give you a lift home.

Then he'll keep you company.

Is that okay?

Great.

We'll leave in about ten minutes.

[pensive music plays]

[Björn] Well, I wanted a job

where I could be outdoors.

All the men in my family are in the army.

But I thought it was too destructive

to be in the military.

But then I spoke to my grandma,

and she said,

"Why don't you become a police officer?"

Here in Granås.

Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait. Wait there.

I need to, uh, check the house first.

You just stay there.

Yeah.

Is it okay if I take my coat off?

[laughs sarcastically] Very funny.

Right!

-Hello, there. Hello, everyone.

-[officers] Hi.

So, I've been asked to, uh, come out

of my retirement for a short while

so I can assist you all

with the ongoing Alicia investigation.

So, I think it would be a good idea

to kick things off? Tomas?

I should run through your investigation?

No, you don't have to.

What if I start,

and you take over afterwards, all right?

Let's do that, shall we?

To start, as briefly as possible,

I'll take you through

the sequence of events as they unfolded.

So, let's revisit an earlier time,

or more specifically go to November 2002.

Which is when

Lejla Ness is found in Granås.

Nine months earlier,

she was reported missing

by her mother, Milena,

from Vårby, Stockholm.

Six months later,

her mother is found dead.

The autopsy shows that

she's taken an overdose of sedatives.

[Milena] She went to school

in the morning. I said goodbye.

I was working late.

[officer] Can you account for

where you've been this past year?

[Milena] Mostly at home in Vårby.

A short cruise to Åland.

Then a friend,

he was working on a construction site,

and we went there to visit him.

[officer] A male acquaintance?

Uh, right, who was that?

-Where is he?

-[Milena] Bosnia.

[officer] Okay. When was this visit?

April, May.

It was… what was it called again?

-Vatra.

-"Vatra"?

-[Milena] That big fire.

-What fire? Oh, Walpurgis Night?

[Milena] Yes, Walpurgis.

-[Lejla sighs]

-[officer] Okay, and where was this?

[Milena] Up north.

I can't remember the name of the place.

He was renting a small cabin for us.

Lejla wanted to see Mora.

We drove there. It was quite close.

[recording stops]

[quick steps descending stairs]

[Björn] Wait there!

Where are you going? Lejla!

[Valter] Lejla talked about those

children's drawings,

and she thought they were made

by three different kids.

That would support the theory

that this guy is a serial offender.

On the other hand,

the m*rder of Louise is inconsistent

with the rest of it.

There has to be

a completely different motive.

[Jorun] What about Frick's m*rder?

If it is as Lejla says…

Whatever Lejla says,

we shouldn't rule Jim out

until the forensic analysis

of his boots come back.

[Jorun] Mm.

It was elk blood.

It's in the report.

-[Tomas] Ah…

-[Jorun] Mm.

[dramatic music playing]

[Valter] Well, now that

the investigation has been reopened,

we might as well

go through everything thoroughly

right from the start.

-[music swells]

-[Valter continues indistinctly]

[music fades]

There.

Hi, Tomas.

Your usual?

Yeah.

[upbeat pop music playing on radio]

Can I have some ice and lemon in there?

[waitress] Ice and a slice?

[mic feedback echoes]

Actually, hang on.

Um, scrap that. I'll take a… Jäger.

Just the one.

-[waitress] A Jäger?

-Mm.

[waitress] Mm-hmm.

I could lose your mind ♪

And you can have all my love

When this is over ♪

I'll just do it for life

When this is over ♪

I'll have another one. Make it a double.

So say you're with me ♪

-Having a big night?

-[Tomas] Not really.

My heart's beating up

It's taking over ♪

[music stops]

WELCOME TO THE GRANÅS CABINS

-Uh, stay here, I'll be right back. Okay?

-Uh-huh?

-Shouldn't I go with you in there?

-I'll be right back.

-Is that a good idea?

-Yes.

[ominous music playing]

[Daniela] Coming?

-[sighs]

-Yeah.

[Lejla] Thanks for agreeing to see me.

[Daniela] What year did you say?

Uh, 2001.

[Daniela] 2001?

Where the hell can that be?

2001. Well, I'll be damned.

Spring. Walpurgis.

The 28th April, 29th, uh…

Walpurgis. Name?

Uh, Milena Delić.

-Delić?

-And Lejla Delić.

Delić, Delić… Here.

Yeah, you stayed here. Three nights.

End of April, beginning of May.

Cabin number 12.

So, do you remember now

that you were here?

I had a hunch, yeah.

Right. Well, then.

Wait there.

What does that say?

"Tomas Ness".

[tense music rises]

[tense music pulsates]

What, Lejla? What's happened? Hey.

[sighs]

[music fades]

Remember in Berga,

that big fire at the refugee centre?

-Ah, I'll always remember that.

-Yeah.

Ah.

The girl in the container, Inas…

She lived there first.

Before she was transferred to Sundsvall.

So, there could be a link to Granås.

What on earth are you saying?

How could Tomas have missed all that?

Huh…

Where is he, by the way?

I really have no idea.

[women sing merrily on karaoke]

[Tomas sings indistinctly]

-[song ends]

-[crowd cheers]

[upbeat rock song begins]

[Tomas] Can I get another one?

-Same again?

-Same again.

Said! Said, come here!

Come on.

-Can I buy you a beer?

-No, I'm good.

To you.

What do you want?

I know you're going through hell.

Uh, well, you should know that I see that.

-If you didn't know.

-Okay.

I've made one mistake. You know, you know…

I should never have told you

I was going to bring back Alicia.

What the f*ck do you mean?

Don't make a promise

if you can't deliver it.

That's the first thing you learn

at police training college.

But it'll all be better

now that Valter's taking over.

Has Valter taken over the case?

Oh, he's damn good.

He's a damn good policeman.

I thought I was a good copper,

but I'm nothing compared to him.

Nothing. [laughs]

Nada.

-I have to be off now.

-No, no. Hey, hey.

Said, I need to talk to you.

Do you know how f*cking weird it was

when you came in with that book?

Coetzee.

It was my f*cking book.

You were in a bad place, she said.

You were gonna get a divorce.

But we weren't in a bad place.

Things were good.

And that mystery man

you were trying so hard to find,

that is me.

Louise and I were screwing each other.

[Said] You're no f*cking cop.

You're just a little rat.

What else have you lied about?

f*cking liar!

-Who the f*ck do you think you are?

-Are we quits now?

-Let go of me!

-[Tomas grunts]

[Tomas speaks unclearly]

Song! Sing, for f*ck's sake!

So, let's go ahead with another song.

-Are you ready?

-Mm-hmm.

[mobile phone ringing]

-Said, what's the matter?

-[Said] Did you know it was Tomas?

Uh, sorry, what?

That Louise was having an affair with.

Did you know?

Hello, are you there?

-Mm, I'm here.

-Okay, so you knew.

This is misconduct. I'm gonna make

a complaint about him.

He's lied to me the whole time.

What else has he lied about?

Damn it, Lejla,

why didn't you say something?

So sorry, Said.

-I'm so sorry…

-[call disconnects]

[sombre music rises]

[upbeat karaoke music continues]

Yeah… Yeah…

-I know. Oh, yeah.

-You doing all right, yeah?

-How're you doing?

-Yeah.

-It's all go in here tonight, huh?

-Yeah.

-Hi, there.

-Hey!

-[Tomas laughs]

-Come on, now.

-So… you're taking over the bar now too?

-Come on!

You're considerably more drunk

than you think you are.

-Come on, then.

-[laughs, grunts]

-Stop it.

-[laughs]

-Can I… There.

-Grab your coat. Come on.

I apologise on my brother's behalf

for making an arse of himself.

-Ah, you're going to save me now too, hmm?

-Let's go. Come on, now.

-It'll be fine. Let's get you home to bed.

-[giggles]

[music stops]

[phone keypad clacking]

[footsteps approaching]

I thought you might need to eat something.

-[mobile phone ringing]

-You're home now, get out.

Come on.

Hello, there.

When are you coming home? We need to talk.

Something's come up.

Tomas has been out drinking.

I need to help him get home.

Okay.

-Is Björn still there?

-Yes.

Could you ask him to stay the night?

-And then we can talk tomorrow.

-Mm-hmm.

-Okay. Bye-bye.

-Okay.

-There. Mm…

-There, that's okay.

All okay, Lejla?

-Valter asked if you could stay the night.

-Yeah, of course. No problem.

Thank you.

How does it feel to be a good person?

Okay. You're all good.

Was I born bad?

-No, I'm just a bad person.

-You're just fine.

I need a beating.

-No.

-[blow landing]

[sombre music playing]

[sobbing]

A good thrashing's what I need.

Don't you need a thrashing,

Mr f*cking Perfect?

You sick b*stard.

LOOKOUT BETWEEN THE TREES

Do you remember the fox cubs

we found in the woods?

Do you remember them?

You put them in a plastic bag, and then…

but they didn't die,

so you just squeezed… squeezed them…

[sobs] …and you squeezed them.

[sobbing continues]

THE OLD CROFT IN THE BACKGROUND

THE BOYS READY TO WATCH THE CHRISTMAS SHOW

Our father gave you a beating.

[whimpers]

Oh, what a beating!

You need a beating… you sick b*stard.

I don't know if you're trying to be funny.

But I'm not amused.

I didn't k*ll those fox cubs.

You did.

TOMAS, 5 - VALTER, 10

You need help.

Someone to talk to.

[sobs]

So…

I'll be sleeping on the sofa,

in case you need me.

We'll talk some more tomorrow.

-[hushed sobs]

-Okay.

Mummy.

[Tomas] Mummy.

[music becomes ominous]

[music builds]

[gloomy string music playing]

[heartbeat pulses]

[music fades]
