Original subtitles

After this, there's no turning back.

We gave you something to help you heal. A parasite... "Jordskott".

It means nothing will be the same, for better or for worse.

I just need to see Esmeralda in an interrogation room.

Find her. Get her. Do it...

You're the one... ...the cops are looking for?

The toxin killed all living things.

Vegetation, animals... and those underground.

You need to call it off, Gustaf. Don't you touch me!

No parent should ever have to suffer through the hell of losing a child.

This agreement is the reason all of this is happening?

Hey! Wait!

Police Department.

Eva... It's a huge responsibility to run a big company.

Borén is still willing to buy you out.

My advice would be to accept his offer.

Eva, if you sign, the shares will be in your name.

Are you ready for that responsibility?

If it's about the money...

...I'm absolutely positive he'd be willing to raise his offer.

Got a pen?

Excuse me.

How do you feel about the Silverhöjd events?

I'll tell you. I'm afraid to leave the house.

Kids gone missing, people getting killed...

...water's undrinkable, and now these goddamned treehuggers...

You'll soon be free to leave.

- Yeah'? Thank you. - Don't thank me.

Follow me.

If it were up to me, I'd lock them up indefinitely.

So you know Josefine is alive?

She's been held hostage this whole time.

And you know why, don't you?

As leverage against Johan, your father, so he would stop clearing the forest.

After my father passed, you two were next in line.

Emma and Anton were taken for the same reason.

How much do you know about the one who took the children?

We know they're not human...

He.

Through my father's actions, there's only one of them left.

It doesn't make him any less dangerous. Trust me, we can't underestimate him.

He won't return the children until they leave the forest be.

We tried to stop Borén and get him to listen, but he refuses!

We don't need to get him to listen anymore.

So Esmeralda herself has no idea?

No.

In that case, she poses a threat to everyone, including herself.

That's why I need your help.

You need to get her here quickly, and I'll take care of her.

Very well.

- Wass. - Hey.

There's been another suspected stabbing.

At Silverhöjd School this time.

- I'll be right there. - Thank you.

Seems she's done it again.

Okay. Get her here.

Yep.

IS IT SAFE TO COME?

I'LL CHECK! I'LL GET BACK TO YOU!

Right, now we're all gathered.

Thomas? Jeanette?

You two were the ones who called this meeting.

I sincerely hope it's to apologize for your actions yesterday.

No, Gustaf, that's not it.

It isn't, Thomas? Then what do you want?

Well?

- Eva? What a pleasant surprise. - Sorry I'm late.

What are you doing here?

I've brought copies of my father's estate inventory.

Would everyone be so kind as to turn to page five?

You too, Gustaf.

As you can see, it says I now own my father's shares in the company.

That makes me a member of this board.

Well... Eva, you're obviously very welcome to join the board, but...

Thank you, Gustaf.

You may sit.

As my first order of business, I'm immediately moving to halt

Thörnblad Cellulosa's activities at Silverhöjd Forest.

Eva...

It's true you are the single largest shareholder in the company

but... you don't have a majority stake. You do realize that?

If you all turn to the last page of the document...

...you'll find that Thomas and Jeanette...

...were nice enough to sell me their shares.

Which gives me the authority to decide whatever I want.

And I decide for all activities to cease, effective immediately.

Is this the way it's going to be now? I feel like I'm going crazy.

Your senses are still not used to it. You need to learn to control it.

- Or things can go very wrong. - How wrong?

Your senses could break down. You'll go crazy for real.

- But you'll make it. I know it. - I just want Josefine back.

Eva, let's stick to the plan, so the children may be released.

You've managed to stop Borén.

- Now we need to go to the school. - The school?

We got a call. We need to go there now.

Okay.

Little girl?

I've made some sandwiches.

And I have soda, if you like that.

Would you like soda... or water?

Hey, guys.

We're gonna need the place to ourselves for the next ten minutes or so. Thanks.

First let me show you how I do it.

You go sense by sense...

Start with the smells.

Focus on them...

...and sort through them one by one.

Do the same thing with every sound...

...every single thing you can taste, every single thing you can feel.

See them before you like pieces of a puzzle...

...that you're able to move around and remove... entirely at will.

Try it.

- I... can't do it. - No stress. Relax.

Relax, and breathe.

Close your eyes, and try to find the smells.

Separate them...

- Wait. - What do you see?

There are four... No, three.

There are two people, a man and a woman, and then...

There's something else.

Use not only what you can see here, but what you already know.

It's the man in the pickup truck and his dog.

The dog is also wounded, but more seriously.

- How do you know? - The blood.

It smells different. More dead, in a way.

There is something here.

A charm.

Good. Very good.

Come on.

Do it.

Do it!

Go away!

Hey.

- How are you? - Well... alive. Thanks to Wass.

- What about you? You look... - I'm fine, thank you.

You can thank me by going home and resting up.

- I'll rest up when this is over. - That wasn't a suggestion.

- Sigvardsson pulled you from the case. - She tried to kill me! I won't...

I'm sorry, Asa. I do apologize.

I won't let her slip away again.

If you're gonna be in on this, you need to keep your hands and temper in check.

- Gloves. - Yeah.

Dinner for two. She wasn't alone.

"S0lberga foster home." Linus.

It's one of the kids at the home. Seems to have a crush on Esmeralda.

- Is it mutual? - Dunno. Bet he hopes this'll help.

- We'll have to question him. - I'll do it.

- Tom... - Come on. The kid dislikes cops.

I think I was able to reach him when I went to see him.

Okay. But bring Eva along.

Thörnblad Cellulosa is a modern, forward-thinking company.

We're not afraid of listening to criticism.

That's why we've decided to immediately halt activities at Silverhöjd Forest.

- Yes! - Thank you.

Why the sudden change of heart?

As I said, we've heard the criticisms regarding the environmental risks.

We have reviewed our activities and concluded

the environmental risks are too great to keep going.

What about all the jobs you promised? We want you to keep blasting!

Thank you very much. Thank you for coming.

Just a little while longer, my dear.

You just need to get a little bigger.

The leaves are yellowing, the water is toxic, and nature is dying.

If we don't get you out there soon maybe it'll never recover.

But you must get bigger first.

Hey, shouldn't you be at home to really assess how you feel?

The job's keeping me sane right now. And Ida. Work and Ida.

Petra says she's been acting weird since coming home.

Some excuse to keep me from seeing her.

You'll get to see her again. There will be a time after all this...

A better time.

- You really believe that? - You kind of have to, right?

What are you going to do afterwards? When all this is over?

Something very normal.

Go back home with Josefine. Eat some macaroni and hot dogs.

The trees look weird.

COPS ARE HERE. TALK LATER.

The girl is wanted for questioning in the Eddie Olsson case.

The police won't comment on connections to other cases.

Police still say the girl could be armed and potentially dangerous.

Where the fuck are you going, Jörgen?

Hey, you little cunt! I'm talking to you!

- Answer me. - I still can't hear very well.

It was your job to look after Eddie.

It's your fault... that he's dead.

A real man would find that fucking bitch and kill her.

You hear me? It's your fault... that Eddie is dead.

It's your fault...

It's your fault!

Fuck you... Fuck you!

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean it.

Jörgen!

Shit.

Nicklas?

- Where are you going? - Nowhere. The woods.

What's that behind your back?

Why are you taking it to the woods?

In case you fall... it's useful.

I've seen it on TV.

Make sure you're home before dark.

We'll have some coffee. I made cinnamon buns.

- No. Is that mine? - The green one.

Daddy? Hello?

It's your turn.

Sorry.

Let's see...

...Gustaf Borén, CEO of Thörnblad Cellulosa:

Thörnblad Cellulose is a modern, forward-thinking company.

We're not afraid of listening to criticism.

That's why we've decided to immediately halt activities at Silverhöjd Forest.

- Why the sudden change of heart? - As I said...

- You'll have to skip your turn. - No!

Sorry.

- Gustaf Borén. - What the hell are you doing?

Why are you aborting?

I had no choice.

Eva decided to keep Johan's stake in the company.

She's in charge now.

She can't do that! She gave you her word.

If it weren't for me, you wouldn't know about the silver.

- You'll have to fix this! - How am I supposed to fix it?

Face it, it's over.

If I don't get my share of the silver,

I'll have to secure Nicklas's future in some other way.

Maybe I should ask Anna-Lena if you guys can take him in?

Threaten me all you want, Gerda.

There's nothing I can do now.

I am... sorry, Gustaf.

But you give me no choice.

Gerda?

Emelie... Take Saga upstairs, okay? Watch a movie or something.

I need to... talk to Mommy about something.

Okay.

What's the matter, Gustaf?

- Go ahead, I'll see you later. - You're skipping the interview?

He's expecting us.

- Right. This is Linus. - Hi. I'm Göran Wass.

Hello?

The fuck are you doing? Give it back.

You get it later. I'll do the interview. Go home, Tom.

- No way. I only talk to him. - Huh?

I said, I only talk to him.

- Maybe it's better if... - Yeah.

- Come here. - Wait, give it back.

You get your phone back later.

What's that kid's deal?

Anna-Lena, we have to talk about this! Honey, would you wait a second? Hey...

Listen to me. Anna-Lena!

- You should have told me right away. - There's nothing between us anymore.

- Except for a son, Gustaf! - I didn't want that. I couldn't help...

You've been lying to me all these years. How am I going to trust you again?

I feel like our whole life together is one big lie.

But that's not the worst part.

The worst part is you let your son grow up without a father.

Who does that?

- How is Esmeralda? - How am I supposed to know?

Weren't you two at the school yesterday?

No.

Weird, because do you know what we found there?

Tupperware from Solberga.

- You know what else we found? - No.

Signs pointing to Esmeralda being in trouble.

Serious trouble, Linus.

I know you want what's best for her, Linus, and so do I.

Can't you... help me?

I don't know where she is.

- We've only been texting today. - Okay...

Could you put me in touch with her?

Thörnblad Cellulosa's long-term effects on the Eco system could be disastrous.

Just look around. It's the middle of summer and trees are dying.

We can't prove it's because of Thörnblad.

- Yes? - Hi.

- Can I help you? - Yes...

Would you have a charger for this model?

Let me see.

I'll go have a look.

Found one.

There you go.

Now back to Silverhöjd.

COP'S GONE. SEE YOU AT TENNIS COURT MIDNIGHT

Detective Tom Aronsson was injured by a woman.

She was last seen wearing a gray hoodie, black jeans, and sneakers.

More and more people are asking, what's going on in Silverhöjd?

- He left it right here! - Maybe under some papers.

- I saw him put it right here! - Relax...

I want my phone!

- Calm down! Now! - Stop it! Let me go!

- Calm down! - I want my phone! Now!

Nicklas!

Nicklas... What is it?

Nothing.

I'm sorry, Mom. I'm sorry...

- What did you do? - I'm sorry. Forgive me...

Oh, my God...

The girl is unwell.

I thought I'd look after her...

I know it was wrong of me.

I'm sorry.

Josefine...

- Hello? - It's me. Jörgen.

Did you find Esmeralda?

Boy, listen to me. She's lethal.

- What? - Forget her.

She killed my brother. Storm?

OK. I'll give you a link, so you know what you're in for.

Is this really necessary?

The place we're going means a great deal to him. It's holy.

The only human that's been down there

is your forefather, Adolf Fredrik Thörnblad.

It was when he struck the deal, nearly 300 years ago.

It would be a disaster if people found them.

So the entrances to the underground must be kept secret.

This was once home to many.

It looks different now.

There used to be life down here.

What an incredible amount of silver. Must be worth a fortune.

The value of this place can't be measured in money.

Stay here.

Ylva? Now what do we do?

You talk, he listens.

He's here now.

Muns? I know what happened to your family.

That my father, Johan Thörnblad, was the one who did it.

Words can't express how sorry I am for what he did to you.

I know it can't make up for the anger and pain you're feeling.

I've done as you wish.

The agreement between our families has been restored.

I beg you... give back the children.

Give back Josefine.

- Ylva? - He's gone.

Gone? What about the children?

Muns! Josefine!

There's no point. First he wants to make sure your word is good.

If they leave the forest be, he'll let the children go.

- How can I trust that? - He means what he says.

I need your help.

You want me to find this burial chamber? This silver treasure?

Yes. When you do, you'll find what you're looking for.

- Fuck off, cop! - I'm sorry, Linus.

- How is he? - I think it's his pride that's hurt.

A couple of hours in there should calm him down.

We must find Esmeralda before someone else gets hurt.

Let Wass or someone else handle that. You need to rest.

I thought we said desk job?

If you don't want to go home, try sitting behind one. Like your own?

Yeah...

- Tom. - What happened to Ida at your place?

Hi, Petra. Nice to hear from you.

- She's barely slept since she came back. - Maybe because you didn't let her stay?

Don't put this on me! She barely eats at all.

She keeps drawing the same horrible thing.

- A girl lying in bed. She looks... dead. - Can I talk to her?

No, she just fell asleep exhausted. You realize how bad it is?

They'll hear about this in court.

Eva?

Linus?

Linus?

Hello?

Hi, Esmeralda. No need to be afraid.

I'm here to help. I can explain everything that's going on with you.

- Stay back! - Trust me...

You come near me, I'll kill you.

You've never killed anyone and won't do it now, either.

Esmeralda...

Esmeralda... I don't want to hurt you.

- I know you don't want to hurt anyone. - I killed Eddie!

- No, he did it himself. - But I made him do it!

- I'm a monster! - No, you're not a monster.

Listen to me! You have a power and an ability you can't comprehend.

- You can't control it yet. - What are you talking about?

That power killed Eddie, not you.

It's that power that's doing this to me.

Stop it, then! Stop it!

You can control this.

You're not alone. There are others like you.

There are others who are like me?

I'm going to take you to her. She's waiting for you.

Is it Emma? Has something happened?

No... No. Rest assured.

We just found something we need to confirm.

Yes, of course.

- Is this Emma's jacket? - Yes, it is.

- Where did you find it? - I'm not at liberty to say.

She must have been there, where you found it. Right?

It's too early to say.

We can't jump to any conclusions. We're doing all we can to find her.

I understand. I understand.

SHOOT FIRST!

THE TRUTH WILL COME OUT

NEW TRACES FOUND

HULDRA

Come.

Come. Come. Let's go.

Yep.

FOR EVA

What the...

Eva. Don't turn this off.

I've got something important I need to tell you.

I've made a terrible mistake, and you've had to pay the price.

That was a long time ago.

In 1978, I sprayed the forest with a toxic agent.

An illegal defoliant, and it went horribly wrong.

We didn't know it, but an unknown people lived in the North Woods.

Adults and children... ...lay dead everywhere.

I panicked. Burn them.

Please, get rid of them.

That's why Josefine disappeared.

She didn't drown.

She's alive, Eva.

She was taken because of my actions.

But Josefine, like me, is unwell. Time is of the essence.

I believe more children could be in danger soon.

I know all of this sounds incredible, but in this book

our forefather Adolf Fredrik Thörnblad

explained how it's all connected.

This book can't end up in the wrong hands.

h' people learn of the riches underground, disaster will ensue.

I've got a plan to stop the board and Thörnblad Cellulosa.

But I'm getting weaker and need your help.

When you come here, between all of us, we'll set this whole thing right again.

You, me, Josefine, and your brother...

Yes, you've got a brother.

My secretary Gerda's son.

When all of this is over, we'll welcome Nicklas into our family.

The Thörnblad name will flourish once more, Eva.

What...? What's going on?
