Josefine is my daughter and I will do anything to find her!

That's exactly what worries me.

I'm not sure it was a... person.

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

Do you have a cause for this?

But it has to be something major as there are injuries to the tailbone.

We have a problem...

I don't expect you to understand about Josefine.

I understand. I have daughter too.

Do you have any contact with your third brother?

Josefine?

Good morning! Are you hungry?

Josefine?

I made hot chocolate.

Nicklas?

- Hey, Nicklas! What's up? - Hi...

Could you come help us with something?

Come on! Things turned sour last time.

Hey, Jörgen!

Nicklas, why did you squeal like a little rat?

But... it wasn't us.

The police said so, it wasn't us. It wasn't bad.

You know what happens to people who squeal, right?

Are you deaf now, too, you damn retard?

What, you can't talk either, you freak? Aren't you listening?

Meathead!

Ebbe!

Ebbe?!

We've checked the entire exterior.

No footprints, the windows are intact and there's no sign of a break-in.

- You're sure you locked the doors? - They've been locked the whole time.

I'll get a preliminary analysis at the station

but I won't get any real answers until we send it to SKL.

Since when is a burglary a case for the National Bureau of Investigation?

- How are you? - He was inside my house.

- What is he trying to say? - You think it's the man in the pick-up?

Who else would it be? And what's inside that bottle?

It's like the one you found at the hospital.

We'll see what the lab says... about that.

I want to know how he got in.

- Hot chocolate? - You're never too old, are you?

No, that's...

Yes, well... Did you check upstairs?

- I would have heard that. - Right, right...

I still think we should check, just to be on the safe side.

I already checked it.

Wass'?

When did this happen? Right, I'm on my way. Yes, bye.

I took time off long ago. I can't bring my daughter to a murder scene.

Wass is handling the nursing home, but I need you here.

- Tom, you're the search leader. - Damn it, you know this is important.

Fine, come in as soon as you can. When Wass gets back...

- ...he'll decide if you're needed. - Alright, I'll be there in 20.

Hi, sweetheart! Sorry I'm late.

Oh, how I've missed you!

Hello. How was the train ride?

- Right, let's say bye to mommy. - But my train leaves in 20 minutes.

- I'd like Ida to stay until then. - We can't wait. I have to get to work.

- With her? Are you insane? - It's not like it's hell on earth.

- Always thinking about yourself... - Please, Petra, not now. For Ida's sake.

Darling...

Take care and I'll see you in a few days, then it's just you and me again.

There... Come, let's go!

Tom... I'm the one letting her stay. The smallest thing and she goes home.

What are you doing here? Go home!

- Listen to me, Nicklas - go away! - I'm afraid, daddy!

I've told you not to call me daddy!

Come here, let's go!

- Gustaf? Are you leaving again? - Yes, I forgot something.

Just a small errand, I'll be back soon. Bye-bye!

How many times have we said you can't come up here? Huh?

- Dr. Koljonen? - It's Eva.

Hi, Eva! How are you?

Eva?

Listen... The girl, how bad is it?

Why do you want know?

Even if you find her, is there anything you can do?

She didn't respond to any treatments - if anything, they made her worse.

Her only chance, in my opinion, is surgical removal of the parasite.

- But it's... It's very risky. - How risky?

It's so risky that I really cannot recommend it.

But there has to be some other way.

Even if there was another way, I'm afraid we don't have enough time-

- even if you were to find her promptly.

When did my father talk to you about his disease the first time?

My God, Nicklas, what happened?

He just showed up at the estate.

Why don't you go inside and rest? I'll be in shortly.

He can't just show up like that when he feels like it.

I'm sorry, but I can't help it if he needs his dad from time to time.

And make sure he doesn't call me dad. What if my wife had heard him?

I take him hunting once a month, that was our deal.

The rest of the time, he's your problem. You have to keep better track of him.

Gerda, let's hope the company does well, or this is over.

Money is scarce as it is.

I have a meeting with GEOTBS tomorrow, so today when you get to the office,

I want you to prepare as much you can, because if we get a yes,

the work has to start as soon as possible.

I had hoped to stay home today, as you may understand.

You can stay home until after lunch. Okay?

Thank you.

It hurts so terribly bad, all over.

In my entire... What? No, no, no.

My throat is so swollen that I can only eat baby food.

Purée...

The fact that I can't drink anything doesn't help at all.

- Up there. - Thanks.

Secure the entire area, all the way down to the hedge.

It's March 12th today, a Saturday. Well, well...

My blood pressure is at 95-

- and my temperature is the same, it hasn't changed.

I feel a bit better now. I think what they've given me is helping.

- At least I don't feel any worse. - Say something...

- This is Magnus at the technical lab. - Hello, it's Eva Thörnblad.

Did you get the results from the bottle at the hospital yet?

I'm afraid not, but it should be here within a few days.

- Call me when you have something. - Absolutely.

Not to worry you, but the bottle from this morning-

- ...is covered in a corrosive. - The black liquid, or...?

No, something else. I don't think it's intentional, but a transfer.

I got a severe burn from it. You don't have a rash or any blisters?

Listen... I think I know what it could be.

- It's crawling with cops. Hang on... - Excuse me, where is his room?

- It's at the end of the hallway there. - Alright, thank you.

Mommy just needs to leave for a while. Okay?

I'll be back soon.

Sorry to bother you, but your colleagues are here.

There used to be something on that wall.

- That's right. - Do you remember what it was?

Yes, I think it was a family photo of Ebbe and his brothers.

- I don't want anything. - Sture, my name is Ylva.

So that's you, then? What do you want?

I spoke with your brother, Ebbe. He asked me to warn you.

- Do you recognize this man? - No, I'm afraid not.

It's the guy from TV, right? Do you think it's him?

Eva? Magnus at the lab here.

How did you know...?

- Was I right? - The analysis will tell for sure...

...but it's from a plant. I don't know of any other corrosive plant here.

It has to be hogweed.

WELCOME TO SILVERHÖJD

- What do you want? - Gerda, you know why we're here.

- He has to go back to Silverhagen. - He's not going anywhere.

After what happened at the station, there's nothing we can do.

It wasn't his fault. They locked him up!

It doesn't look good that you didn't report it. You know the rules, Gerda.

They heard what happened and want to keep him under observation.

Observation? You know exactly what they'll do to him. You know!

We'll do what we can to get Nicklas back home to you as soon as possible.

I'm very sorry, Gerda.

- I don't want to. - Wait a minute!

- I don't want to, mommy! - There, there... It's all right.

You have to go with them, but I'll come get you soon.

Just promise me that you won't do anything stupid.

You can't hurt anyone, even if you get scared.

Promise me that?

You have to be brave. Be brave, for me! It's all right...

Male. Age unknown.

Cause of death, probably gunshot wounds to the torso. My guess is a shotgun.

The height is estimated at 2 meters, 2 meters 10 centimeters.

I say estimated as the body lacks its head, hands and feet.

The cuts are straight and sharp in all locations.

"Turbine blades...?"

I have tool marks at each surface - straight, parallel tracks.

My preliminary assessment there is... some kind of motorized saw.

I'm starting the autopsy.

What the hell are you?

Here, sweetheart! Don't tell mommy, she doesn't want you drinking soda.

That's a nice picture. You're so good!

Tom Aronsson?

What body?

Sure, I'm the one you should talk to.

What do you mean, it's strange? Oh, okay...

I'm in a bit of a hurry, but write it in the report and I'll read it later.

No? All right, I'll send someone over. It may be a while...

Someone at the home must have called the press, I had to tackle my way here.

- Is this...? - Yes, this is Ida, my daughter.

- Right. Hi there! - Want to say hi to uncle Göran?

Hi, I'm Göran! Listen, can we talk outside?

Yes, sure... Daddy will be right back, sweetie.

The victim is a senile man in his 80s, Ebbe.

- Staff found him with his throat slit. - Just like Jeppe?

Yes. No one saw or heard anything, of course, but...

- The man in the pick-up truck. - No next of kin, no visitors.

Why the hell are you here and not with your daughter?

- Sigvardsson said it was up to you. - Oh, right...

I'd be lying if I said I didn't need you, but get on out.

We just need to figure out how to get past that bunch.

The 4th victim was a man in his 80s.

We have yet to receive a statement from the police

about any connections to the previous murders.

Just yesterday, the police released a sketch of the suspected perpetrator

and encouraged the public to call in with tips...

- How long before this gets back to us? - This can't go on.

If our project isn't a success, there'll be no Thörnblad Cellulosa in a month.

We've staked everything on this, all of us.

- We can't have a killer on our payroll. - He's not on any payroll.

- Nothing connects him with us. - No? Where is he right now?

Perhaps that wasn't the best choice, but...

...he needed a place to go.

I say we get rid of him - the sooner, the better.

But what does that mean for Anton?

We'll have to sort that out...

- ...not making us accessories to murder. - How? We can hardly go to the police.

No, we have to make sure that he remains calm and does what he's told.

- Using threats, if need be. - Like we could ever make him stop!

- He'll probably slit all of our throats. - I thought you spoke with him?

I did. I thought he understood, but I must have been mistaken.

Dolk is right- he poses much too great of a risk.

We simply have to get rid of him.

Those in favor...

- Thomas? - Huh...?

That's good.

- I'll detain them, but reveal nothing. - Thanks, I owe you one.

- You take care of daddy now. Bye-bye! - Bye!

Wass! The medical examiner wants someone to look at the body from the plant.

- He used the word "strange"... - I'll handle it. Go on!

Wonderful, thanks. Here, sweetie...

- Hello...? - One sec.

I'll be there in 15. Great.

- Questions? - Any comments on the nursing home?

Let's go home and draw something.

- Have you secured any leads? - We have, but I can't go into details.

- Where is Tom Aronsson? - If he did...

- No, but where is he? - Sorry, I don't know.

With all these people... I don't know.

Can you expand at all?

No one has seen or heard anything.

Tom Aronsson. Swedish Radio here.

- Any comments on the rest home? - Do you see any connection?

- Can you tell something? - Did you ID the man?

You must have something to say!

I have nothing to say.

What is the police doing about it?

Let me go! Come here.

Take it easy.

Nicklas?

Darling...

Mommy will get you home soon.

I will, my darling. Soon, soon, soon!

- You don't understand the severity. - It was an accident.

- It's the reason he was at the police. - He went there on his own.

- Where did he get a weapon? - Those boys had it.

Someone could have died! This is a violation.

Do you give him his medication?

- No, they make him ill. - Medication was a part of our deal.

I understand that as a single parent you cannot care for Nicklas.

I take very good care of him, but I have to work too.

Nicklas needs constant supervision, and they can provide that here.

- He's perfectly fine home alone. - We said we'd give this a chance.

- And now we know. - What do you know?

You have no idea, in your institutions, how to care for sensitive individuals.

If you cannot care for him full-time, it's better if he stays here.

You're evil!

There you go...

You have to eat.

Hello...!

- Hi, you must be Ida? - The vulture press was waiting at home.

I don't want to put Ida through that, and this place was all I could think of.

I didn't know if you...

Sure, absolutely... Come in!

All right, sweetheart.

I want you to leave Silverhöjd immediately.

We brought you here to find Anton and neutralize his captors.

- Which is exactly what I'm doing. - No, you're killing innocent humans.

- I want you to leave this place now! - Is that what you think I'm doing?

Killing innocent humans? Come here...

They're neither innocent, nor human.

You know that whoever took Anton is not human.

What neither one of us knew is that Silverhöjd is teeming with vermin.

Many of them look like us, but they're not like us.

They're animals, monsters.

So you're saying that the man in the rest home and the cab driver...

They cut them off in order to blend in.

They're everywhere, hiding in our midst.

It could be anyone, and we wouldn't know a thing.

How do you know all of this?

I got this ten years ago and it hasn't healed yet.

Now do you understand how dangerous this is?

What we're up against, and what I have to do?

They have taken Anton.

I will find him, even if it means I have to kill every single one of them.

Why kill a senile old man? Did he know Tore Häger or the cab driver?

We haven't found a connection yet

but everything points to the man in the white pick-up.

- But no one saw him getting inside? - It's not exactly Fort Knox.

How are you after this morning?

The more I think about it, the less I think it's the man in the pick-up.

I was right upstairs. He could have finished what he started on the ferry.

Shouldn't we keep a car posted here, just to be safe?

What would the press say if you sat in a car here, drinking coffee all day?

Thank you, though.

That's you and daddy, isn't it? The resemblance is great.

Don't forget that those markers add a few pounds.

- Has she never spoken? - No one believes me...

- ...but she did speak once. - What did she say?

It was just after my mom passed away, and...

I took it pretty hard. She looked at me and said: "Don't be sad, daddy."

So I think she can speak but chooses not to, for some reason.

I wish she'd tell her mom not to keep her from me. Ida wants to be here.

It's just hard to prove when she can't say it.

Excuse me for asking; Josefine's dad and you, do you...

No. He has a new family now.

I would try to get him to see Josefine, but something always came up.

Oh, it's Sigvardsson. I have to...

Tom here.

Yes, journalists just everywhere.

Okay. So no one is there anymore?

That's great.

Then I know. See you tomorrow. Thank you so much! Bye!

The coast is clear, the vultures are gone.

- Let's hope they stay away, then. - Right...

What do you say, sweetheart - should we go home?

- Thank you for letting us in. - Of course.

Let's say goodbye to auntie Eva.

Bye, Ida! It was nice to meet you.

- Should we get going? - Bye! - Bye!

Josefine?

What are you doing? No, no, what are you...? But what...?

What...?

I've been doing this for 15 years, never seen anything like it.

It's not unusual for submerged bodies to swell and become... spongy, right?

That's true, but this... This is something completely different.

Hello! I forgot my keys.

The 4th victim was a man in his 80s.

We have yet to receive a statement from the police

about any connections to the previous murders.

Just yesterday, the police released a sketch of the suspected perpetrator

and encouraged the public to call in their tips.

Wait, here... Easy...

Easy... There.

Oh my... Was that good?

Stop!

Stop!

Leave us alone! Do you hear me!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, EMMA ERIKSSON, 9 YEARS OLD!

Fir, spruce and pine

Resin that hardens

Most precious crystal

Once more in stillness

Written in blood

All finds its meaning

Deep under the ground
