1
Kåre? There.
What the fuck should we do with her?
-I told you this would happen.
-How do you think she got here?
How the fuck did she get in here?
We're fucked if she talks.
-What if she does? Then what?
-Fuck. We can't take that risk.
We've gotta do something.
Yeah, the bitch who was suspended.
-Yeah, well, I told you.
-It'll be all right.
Let's get out of here.
Someone must've
brought her here in that state.
She didn't make it here alone.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Looks like her.
Take her away…
Rest yourself for a walk in the woods.
Go, then.
Shut up!
LAND OF SIN
ONE WEEK EARLIER
Yeah, hello?
-This is Ivar.
-Ivar?
-It's been a while. What?
-Something's happened.
-Okay.
-It's Silas. He's disappeared.
How long has he been missing?
He's been gone for the past four days.
I have a bad feeling. And you see…
-Is there anyone out searching for him?
-Yeah, of course.
-And the police, you called them?
-Why do you think I'm calling you, Dani?
That's outside my jurisdiction, Ivar.
You know damn well I won't call the cops.
I'd never bring them up here.
-Why not call them?
-I wouldn't call them with my last breath.
-Listen to me--
-Call the police.
-Cops hate us.
-It's the only thing…
-They don't like us.
-The police don't like you…
And you don't like them.
But it makes no difference, Ivar.
If you file a missing persons report,
they'll help. Okay, Ivar?
You have to come, Dani.
Won't you do this for Silas?
-Can you not come up here?
-Ivar, I can't just go to Bjäre.
Why not? Why the hell not?!
-You know I can't--
-You owe it to us, you hear me?
And you owe it to him.
What about all the shit
that you put us through?
-Right, listen--
-Do it for the boy, you hear me?
Please, Dani. Please. We need your help.
Oliver.
I'm just picking up some stuff.
Your number's changed. I tried calling.
Hey. Why don't you stay for a while?
I can't.
I spoke to the people at rehab.
They have a place for you.
Oliver, let me help.
Silas is missing.
What do you mean "missing"?
How do you know?
His dad phoned me.
How long's he been gone?
Four days.
Any idea where he could be?
Have you spoken to him lately?
You won't find your shit.
What?
I flushed them.
Oliver!
So where will you go this time, Oliver?
-If you leave, I'll change the locks!
-Shut up!
You have to go to rehab! Oliver!
-Are you… are you okay?
-Yeah, I'm fine!
I'm okay! That's my son, that's all.
No need to call the landlord.
I… I'm not your neighbor.
I don't live here.
Actually, I'm your new partner.
I was waiting for you.
I'm Malik.
I'll wait for you downstairs.
Yeah, but…
Can't you just give me Patrik Ljung?
-He's already been reassigned.
-Reassigned with who?
-He's been moved to Criminal Inquiries.
-For fuck's sake, Robban!
Lärka, he gets Thomas Rogenmo,
and I end up getting assigned
with some fuckin' rookie.
I'm sorry, Dani.
But that's just the way it is.
-Is this… because of what Lärka said?
-It's got nothing to do with you.
-So am I being punished or what?
-No. This isn't punishment…
I'm not some rookie.
I've been working
for over three years, okay?
Working over three years.
Wow… I'm impressed. I'll drive.
MISSED CALL
So do you have anyone you can turn to?
Is there a… father around?
What do you mean?
Your son's father.
For what?
-I was just asking.
-He doesn't have a father.
Okay.
Why are we here?
Just a routine check.
That's him.
What? Dani?
Jorma!
Hey!
-Stay where you are!
-Hey! Hey!
Stop!
Get outta the way!
Police! Stop!
Jorma, why are you running?
-Hold still. Gimme your hand.
-Why are you chasing me?
Carrying anything sharp
that could injure me?
No, I stopped using needles
and that stuff.
-It's okay…
-Needles?! Turn around.
Fuck, why are you running? Why?
Because I didn't recognize this guy.
He's my trainee.
Well, I didn't know that. Okay?
So, what's this?
Subutex and shit.
-Where were you Friday?
-Where was I?
Yeah. Fun Friday at Limhamn.
When the shit went down at the house.
It wasn't me. I've been in rehab for weeks
trying to get clean from heroin.
-So why did you run?
-You ran after me.
Go! You can go.
-Give it to him.
-What?
His stuff.
-Hm.
-Thanks. We cool now?
-Yeah, yeah.
-Thanks.
-What?
-What's that about?
You think we should've
made him piss in a bottle?
-Yeah, why not?
-Mmm.
Mm.
What's the point of that?
He'd be right back out.
What would he get for it?
A minor offense
and another 1,800 kronor for the taxman?
You have to let me in
on what you're doing.
What woulda happened if I'd fired on him?
And don't call me your trainee.
So is this another routine check
you haven't told me about?
What?
Where you going?
Dani!
Oliver.
Why are you here?
Why are you here?
-You let Silas disappear.
-That's not true.
But you knew it…
-You knew that he'd relapse.
-Oliver…
Uh-uh. But still… you let him go anyway.
I wanted to protect you.
You were going to talk to social services.
You promised him.
But you didn't do it, did you?
So, did you?
His own family wanted him back home.
It wasn't because of me.
You let them take him.
Even though you knew.
-I knew what?
-That everyone's crazy up there.
Why did you do that to us, Mom?
-I gotta go.
-Don't…
You and Silas were bad for each other.
Who's Silas?
-Oh, wow.
-Wow, look at that.
Oh, my God.
Oh, that's so cool.
-Oh, be careful. Yeah?
-What'll you do with this?
What do you think?
-Go ahead, taste this.
-Go on, try it.
So good.
Yeah. It's full of nutrients.
-You're closest now.
-She's right. You're the closest.
You have this, Silas.
-This is so interesting.
-I know, right?
And you see here? That's the queen bee.
There in the middle. Can you see her?
The queen is not always visible.
All right? She likes
to keep out of any direct sunlight.
-Can you see her, Silas?
-Yeah.
-All around her is a court of worker bees.
-Right.
The worker bees protect
the colony from outside enemies.
Very important that the queen
be at the center of the colony.
Where she finds the most shelter
from outside predators and the elements…
Who's Silas?
What is this place?
We rented these beehives
a couple of years ago.
I've got somewhere to go.
Where would that be?
Bjäre.
There's an informant there now.
I'll head there right now
to speak with him.
Sure. Exactly.
Bye.
Who's this informant we're gonna go see?
Yeah. This car is new to me,
but the streets aren't.
So don't take me for a ride.
I have to sort something out, okay?
Private or police business?
I'm not sure.
Both.
So who is he?
Silas.
You mentioned his name.
We're going to Bjäre
because of him, right?
-He was placed with me and Oliver.
-What do you mean?
As in foster home.
And the parents?
On file.
Because they're junkies?
Just farmers, that's all.
But fueled with alcohol and violence.
How long has he been missing?
How long?
For four days.
Hi.
-Hi, my name is Dani and this is Malik.
-Hi.
-Are you here because of Silas?
-That's exactly it.
-And what's your name?
-Vera.
Vera?
-And are you home alone, Vera?
-No, Kimmen's here with me.
-Kimmen's at home?
-Mm-hm.
Ah.
You're about to eat?
Yeah, but I'll eat later
when the others get home.
-When they get home?
-Yeah.
-How come you're not with them?
-I didn't wanna go.
-I preferred to stay home.
-Ah, you wanted to stay home.
-It's gettin' cold.
-Yeah.
-So who went out?
-Mmm, like the whole village I think.
-Your mom and your dad?
-Yeah.
-And what's your mom's name?
-Boel.
And your dad's?
THE CRAFT OF HONEY
HOW TO BECOME A BEEKEEPER
-Will you find him?
-What?
My brother. Will you find him?
That might depend on how much help we get.
You're Dani, right?
Yeah.
I've heard my mom talk about you.
Don't believe everything your mom says.
-Nathalie.
-What?
The password.
With a T and an H?
Mmm. Yeah, and with an E at the end.
Who's Nathalie?
THANKS FOR BOOKING YOUR FERRY TICKETS
Who are you?
What the hell are you doing in my house?
Yeah, I'm a police officer.
My name is Malik.
A police officer? Who let you in?
Vera let us in. We… we spoke with her.
Vera? She's a child!
Ma'am, I… I know this is difficult,
and I know you're upset,
but we're here to help.
Help? Off you go,
start looking for him then!
We'll begin as soon as we can.
Yeah, well, now I understand.
I heard about Silas.
And then you ran straight here
with your bloodhound puppy.
-So, is Ivar out searching with you?
-Ivar?
Silas's father. Your husband… Ivar.
He called me yesterday.
I want to talk to him.
We're not in Malmö, so take it easy.
For sure, but I'll take it easy
once we've found him.
Not everyone wants to be found.
So was it a single or a return?
Two singles. Leaving two days ago.
Okay.
Silas…
Are they Christian?
Definitely not.
How's he doing?
This is a palliative care ward.
I've just given him
a small dose of morphine.
He sounded good on the phone yesterday.
Are you the woman from Malmö?
Yeah.
It wasn't easy to find you.
That's the whole point, really.
Why the fuck would you call her?
I'm here to help find Silas.
Here to help?
Like the last time
when you took our son away from us?
-Social services took him.
-Ah.
You want to take him as well?
Let me find you a trailer
and you can load him onto it.
He needs rest.
-Can I have a word with you, nurse?
-Yeah, of course.
Dani…
Thank you.
Thank you for coming.
The blacksmith…
Sorry?
The blacksmith?
Yes… The blacksmith.
There's something fishy about him.
Kimmen, do you have a minute?
-So can you do it?
-Of course.
Okay. As long as he's home when it's time.
The blacksmith. Know him?
Yeah.
Silas started training as his apprentice.
Training?
-Where can I find him?
-Up on Birch Road.
-There's a bunch of greenhouses there.
-Okay. Thanks.
Here's my card if you want to call.
Okay, well, as soon as you can arrange…
I'll make sure he's in his own bed
in his own home.
Call me directly…
Is this… your family home?
Yeah. It used to belong to my parents.
I was born and raised here.
So Silas works for you?
-Uh, he's beginning to learn the trade.
-Mm-hm.
-When did you see him last?
-Uh… a few days ago.
-He came to pick up his pay.
-His pay?
Yes.
-How did you find him?
-Same as usual.
-Nothing… weird?
-No.
-No?
-No.
I see you've had visitors.
Uh… They come and go as they please.
Who's they?
You know, kids… Locals.
Open bar, I see.
Did you hear anything
about Silas wanting to go away?
To travel?
-No?
-No. Not that I know of.
Does Silas make these?
He's a… bit of an artist.
Unexpected.
Why would you say that?
You said he was being paid, but…
he's a trainee.
Are you gonna put me in jail for fraud?
Or should I be worried
about something else, Officer?
Hm, why would you be worried?
I'm sure
you'd find something to pin on me.
-Don't leave town for the moment, okay?
-Okay.
-We'll talk again later.
-Okay.
Did you see his hand shaking?
He's probably not
used to talking with the police.
So Silas took his pay,
then he bought tickets, and now he's gone.
What the hell is this?
Fuck.
The kid is gone
and everyone here knows that.
You might be right.
Yeah. I am right.
And yet you're still here.
Back the fuck off.
You let us know
if we can help you in any way, Officer.
-For sure.
-Right.
What the fuck was that about?
Hello?
Oliver? Is that you?
Oh…
Mm-hm. Mm.
Okay.
That was Kimmen.
The little kid?
Yeah.
They found Silas.
-Stand back.
-This is terrible.
Is that my son over there? Is that my son?
-Stay back.
-It's the mother.
-Is that Silas in the water?
-C'mon, Boel.
-That's my boy! Stop!
-I know, I'm sorry.
-Let me through! Let me go!
-Calm down, Boel.
Please wait, Boel.
-I want to see Silas!
-Will you wait?
I know, I know, sweetie.
Just wait here with us.
-Calm down.
-Silas, dear God, Silas!
-Poor Boel. Come here. Shh.
-Calm down.
-You're okay. The boy is gone.
-Let me go!
Please wait, Boel.
Please, Boel, will you wait?
I know. I know, sweetie.
Just wait here with us.
Let me go!
Silas, dear God, Silas!
Let me see my boy. No!
-Officer, please.
-Come on, Boel. I know, I'm sorry.
-Let me see… let me go!
-Calm down, Boel.
I'll take care of
the cleaning and washing.
-Thanks.
-Mm-hm.
And for the rest… well,
we'll deal with that when the time comes.
We can't keep going back and forth.
Did Silas have a girlfriend?
There was one girl. I think…
-That was a while back.
-Yeah, I think her name was Becka.
-Yeah.
-That's it.
Were they together long?
Oh… They were on and off for about a year.
-A year or so.
-On and off.
-Yeah, about that.
-Jon, do you remember?
How long Silas was with Becka?
Don't know.
-Can I go now?
-You don't need to be here. You can go.
It's okay.
Who lives next door?
That would be Elis.
-The guy in there? Ivar's brother?
-Yeah, that's him.
-See you later.
-It's tough on you.
I'm sure this is very difficult.
I remember as a child
when he used to climb the railings…
But he never fell. Poor crazy child.
And when he grew up, I remember him…
lying in the middle of the road,
staring at the streetlights.
He'd get drunk too.
I mean, really drunk, and he'd pass out
in the middle of the road at night, and…
Jeppsson would come along
and honk his horn to wake him.
-Why'd he do it?
-We'll never know.
Did he want to go away, or what?
Did he wanna die?
-Well, what do you think?
-No, Boel, no.
He talked about it before.
Leaving.
What are you saying, Kimmen?
What do you mean by leaving?
Why didn't you tell me about that?
Why didn't you tell Mommy?
-Boel, leave the boy.
-Your father's in hospital dying.
-Are you…
-Now's not the time.
Are you gonna take care of the farm now?
-Boel… Leave the lad alone.
-What were you thinking?
And what if you die?
What happens if you all go away?
-What if Jon packs up and leaves?
-He won't.
-Stop, Boel!
-What about him?
-You think he could look after the farm?
-You're upset, Boel!
-He's a retard, for God's sake!
-Stop! What are you saying?
-He's useless. He can't do a thing.
-What the hell?
Listen, what happened to Silas
is a tragedy and we are all suffering.
But that doesn't give you
the fucking right
to talk about my son like that!
What binds family weakens
when you talk shit like that.
So you shut your fuckin' mouth.
You've been warned.
And what the fuck
are you doing in my house? Fuck off!
-Get out, you bitch.
-Stop.
Fuck.
You okay?
Dani?
Have you seen enough now?
So what do you think?
Guess he was drunk
and fell off the bridge.
How would I know?
Well, case closed then.
What the fuck do you mean?
Come on, Dani.
No one would do that on their own.
No one.
But if you wanted to impress someone,
then it makes sense.
You heard what they said.
Sleeping drunk in the middle of the road.
Yeah, you're probably right.
You think there's anywhere
we can crash for the night?
-Is Oliver there?
-Sorry, who?
It's his mother.
-Uh, I don't… I don't know…
-Just tell me if you know where he is.
I don't fucking know where he is.
Does anyone know if Oliver's here?
Well, if you see him,
tell him that I called.
-I don't… Okay…
-Hello? It's important.
-I'm not making any promises.
-What?
-I dunno who you are.
-I told you, I'm his mother.
-No, I'm not…
-Can you do that, okay? Fuck.
Hi there.
-Hi, Daddy!
-You're up late.
-Say hello to Daddy.
-Why aren't you asleep?
Because we wanted to stay up
to say good night to you.
Oh, I see.
We'll go to sleep if you come home, Daddy.
I'll… I'll be home soon, okay.
-Are you having lots of fun at work?
-Yeah, I'm having lots of fun.
-Lots of fun?
-Yeah, lots of fun, sweetie.
-A great time.
-Stop tickling me!
Ready to say good night?
-Good night, Daddy!
-Good night.
-Good night, Daddy.
-We miss you! Love you.
Love you.
-Here we are.
-We're the coolest brothers in Malmö.
-In all of fuckin' Sweden.
-Is that so?
-My best bro in the world, right?
-Yeah.
The Batman and Robin of Malmö!
Silas and Ollie, like Benny and Björn!
The best bros
in all of fucking Sweden, yeah?
No, I don't want to. Come on, stop.
I don't know what this one is.
Something like…
Silas…
-Mom, let's do this.
-You're late for social services.
-What?
-That's enough.
Look at my fit, man.
Come on, you ready?
-Let's do it, okay.
-Stop…
Oh.
Oh. Oliver, is that you?
No, it's Malik.
I'm with the forensics team.
You might want to come over.
I'll be down there this weekend.
-Hey.
-Hey. They're in there.
Something about the drowning
doesn't add up.
Silas drowned… We know that.
-But, uh…
-But what?
We found a few things… in his mouth.
Uh, black seaweed…
And several saltwater sea snails.
So he drowned, just not in the river.
That's right.
-So the body was moved.
-Yes.
-Is there any bruising around the neck?
-Yes.
All the evidence indicates
that third-party external forces
were at play.
Good afternoon, everyone.
You're welcome
to our press conference today.
First of all,
we would like to extend
our condolences and our prayers
to the family and next of kin.
As parents, facing the loss of a child,
the violent loss of their child,
is the worst possible nightmare.
We also understand
that these events weigh heavy
on the entire community in Bjäre.
I know the family.
We're not close, but I know them.
This can help us.
-You're close. Far too close.
-Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
I'm familiar with the area. Yeah.
I know these people,
I understand them. They trust me.
He was your foster child.
You were in charge of him.
Yes.
I can handle this, okay?
No, it's not your call to make.
-Sure. Listen, I'll call you back. Okay?
-You hear me?
Call you back.
-Hi.
-Can we go somewhere to talk?
I spoke with your colleague.
I told him… about Becka, Silas's ex.
Yeah.
Well, apparently Boel heard…
Becka and Silas arguing about something.
Becka threatened to send
some guys to hurt him.
Okay. Do you know why she'd say that?
Yeah, I guess.
You see, Silas was seeing someone else.
So I suppose that… Becka was jealous.
Okay. What was the other girl's name?
-I've no idea.
-Okay. Thanks.
-Hello.
-Hi.
-Becka… Silas's ex.
-Yes.
-Can you find me her home address?
-Sure.
Can you…
also check on any Nathalies from here.
Around Silas's age.
Local girls called Nathalie, I'm on it.
Becka threatened Silas.
-Threatened him?
-Yeah. She'd send some guys to hurt him.
Let's go.
-"I know them. They trust me."
-What?
They hate the police,
and they hate you even more.
I'm good under pressure.
It's illegal.
So how's that coming along for you?
Following all those stupid fuckin' rules.
Who's Nathalie?
A lead.
What's Becka like?
Becka could be a real pain,
but she's never done anything like this.
Where can I find her?
She's with her father in Örkelljunga.
She goes there to get away from things.
Did Becka know
that Silas was seeing someone else?
And that he was thinking about leaving?
So?
-She'd heard about the blacksmith.
-Blacksmith?
Silas was blackmailing him for money.
But he became greedy. Or maybe desperate.
So the blacksmith got pissed.
Pissed? What do you mean?
He was looking everywhere for him.
He was shouting and screaming
about some shit. Yeah.
Did he find him?
Hey.
What do you think?
Hello? Anyone home?
Police. Anyone?
Anyone here?
Hello?!
Police!
Come on. Let's get outta here.
We'll wait for forensics.
Can you believe that?
Elis threatened me in my own fucking home.
"You've been warned," he said.
Did you hear him?
Unbelievable!
And that fucking old bitch of his, Kätty.
-Jesus Christ!
-I know, but…
Sure, but I mean… Huh!
That son of hers, Harald,
isn't any better.
He won't be able to do any of it.
They'll never be able to manage this farm.
No, but you still can't…
No matter what he does,
she's always fucking defending him.
Do you mean
everyone in the family or just Kätty?
-The whole family's fucked up.
-Yeah.
Totally.
-Am I right? Am I right?
-Yep.
It's not just her,
it's that husband of hers.
That old sly bastard, Elis.
-Promise me you'll find whoever did it.
-What was that?
Promise me
you'll find whoever did it, Elis.
I don't wanna die like this.
I don't wanna die
without knowing who killed Silas.
-We can't confirm anything.
-But you must know what just happened?
Why not tell us why the hearse is here?
What about the blacksmith?
We want to see him.
How long have you been waiting here?
I don't even know.
Quite a while. And still no news.
This is a restricted area.
Get the fuck outta here.
Are you okay?
How about you?
I've been up all night.
Dani? You can have the room now.
Hup, up, up, up, up…
A few days.
A few days, what?
Then we solve this our way.
-Your way?
-Exactly.
Mm.
We're on the same team. Right?
Around here, people stick together.
We stick together through thick and thin.
And that's how we survive.
Of course, when outsiders come to visit,
we offer them coffee. It's polite.
At times, we might even be nice.
But when there's no more coffee…
most people know it's time to leave.
There are people around here
that don't like people like you.
Hm. What do you mean? People like them?
They'd do better not to get involved
in police business or I'll lock them up.
And the same goes for you.
Elis… "You've been warned."
Hey, Robban.
Send everyone.
Yeah. Send me everyone you got.
We'll be here a while.
Dani Anttila.
One week, understand? One week.
