[somber music playing]
[Elis] Why am I kneeling on the floor?
[Kåre] What did you expect
when you bring a whore cop with you?
[man 1] Yeah?
[Elis] I told you it wasn't me.
[Kåre] It's not looking good for you.
[footsteps]
[Elis] Where the hell is Järven?
-[man 1] He's on his way.
-[Elis] Yeah?
[Kåre] He'll be here.
You just kneel down and pray.
Go ahead and pull the trigger,
you fucking coward!
-[Kåre] Let's have a talk first.
-[Elis] Big talk from a small man.
[Kåre] I'll shut your fuckin' mouth
for you, Elis!
[Elis breathing heavily]
[vehicle approaching]
[engine stops]
[man 2 sniffs]
[snorts, gasps]
Hey there, old man.
Do that to me again and I'll shove
that rifle up your fuckin' ass!
[man 2] Relax, Elis.
Stress isn't good at your age.
Your errand boys are wearing me out
and testing my patience.
Even with a gun pointed at your head,
you never… ever, learn.
[Elis scoffs]
[man 2 exhales]
And the cop?
It's like I said, I've no idea
how that damn cop made it here.
You know me.
You know my father, you know my family,
you know who we are and what we--
Quiet!
Shut your fucking mouth!
You brought the cop here!
-[Elis grunting]
-You're a fucking dead man!
-[Elis panting]
-[clang]
[man 2] Fuck! [pants]
Pick him up.
Get me a chair
so I can talk to this old fool.
-Are you okay? Would you like some water?
-No, thanks.
-Do you want drugs?
-No, I'm good, thank you.
-No? Shit, you're bleeding.
-Yeah?
See? Bleeding and you still won't shut it.
[exhales]
[clicks tongue]
What is it that you want, Elis?
Why did you drag me all the way out here
in the middle of the fuckin' night?
I wanna work.
You wanna work?
With us? So what do we do?
What do we do with you?
You're a farmer.
You're a pig farmer.
Your job is to move shit
from this place to another.
You've got pig shit all over your hands.
Aren't I right, old man?
-Your father was the same.
-My father was a logger.
He was a foreman. And then…
[fake gagging] And what happened?
So that's it?
You want to hang up your shovel?
-It's my retirement I'm thinking about.
-That's why you have children, old fool!
Listen to him!
Haven't you noticed
that our young boys are disappearing?
[Elis] No?
[man 2 breathes heavily]
[tense music playing]
[man 2] What the fuck
are we gonna do with all our product?
That bitch will have reinforcements.
The place will soon be swarming with cops.
We need to move all our stuff right now.
-So what do we do? What do we do with you?
-[man 3] What use are you to us?
You've seen our whole operation.
You're a liability for us, old man.
-[Kåre] Let's just shoot the fucker.
-[man 3] What do you have to offer?
[man 2] Michel's asking what you have
to offer. Think quick, or you're dead.
[Kåre] You're not gonna talk
your way outta this.
[Michel] No chance!
[man 2] What do you think
you can do for us,
other than getting the cops involved?
-[Kåre] Nice job.
-[man 2] What do we do now?
-You got us into this fucking mess.
-I have a warehouse.
-[man 2] Stop bitching, we gotta move.
-I have a warehouse.
The place by Håkansson's?
[Elis] No, I have another place
where I store old bits of machinery.
It's easier than you think.
-We can go right now.
-Shh, shh, shh.
-[Elis] You can bring it all.
-Shh! Shut up!
-We have to move it now.
-Come on, let's go. Show it to me.
You're a lucky son of a…
Lead the way. Let's go.
[dramatic music playing]
Okay. Let's go, come on!
Move it! Let's get this done!
[man 2] Keep it tidy. Separate everything.
[indistinct]
[man 2] Come on,
let's get this shit inside.
Go, go, go!

LAND OF SIN
[music fades]
[breathes deeply]
[sighs]
[floorboards creak]
[dogs barking outside]
[Kätty] How'd it go?
Well, he's back.
Järven?
Yes.
[footsteps]
Where were you?
[Kätty] Jon!
-[Jon] Where was he?
-[Kätty] Get back to bed.
And you too, Harald.
[Jon] Come on.
What's he doing back here?
What?
What the hell's he up to?
He's cooking. [sniffs]
-Fuck.
-It would appear that Silas screwed up.
[Elis sighs]
-He talked too much. [sniffs]
-Talked about what?
Kimmen told me that…
Silas gave up Järven's name
during questioning.
-And you think Järven killed him for that?
-[exhales]
No way.
Why not?
Järven has killed people for less.
Elis…
[Elis] Mm-hmm.
Don't bother. Forget it.
-[Elis breathes deeply]
-Let the police take care of this, okay?
I don't understand,
what would Järven want with them?
With these boys?
Well… they're easy to sacrifice.
Come to bed.
-Come on, let's go to bed.
-[Elis groans, sighs]
[Elis] I need to know
if the police did question him.
[Kätty] What about Ivar? Did he know?
[Elis] I don't know.
[somber music playing]
[Harald snoring gently]
[breathing heavily]
[snoring]
[Elis takes a deep breath]
[Elis sighs]
[tires on gravel]
[lighter clicks]
[music turns ominous]
-[footsteps approaching]
-[Elis breathing heavily]
-[footsteps speed up]
-[Elis groans]
[Elis quietly] Fuck. No, no, no…
[music fades]
Come on, Dani. [grunts]
-[Dani groans]
-[Elis] Easy now.
[Dani groaning]
[Elis grunts]
[poignant music playing]
-[Dani grunts]
-[Elis] It's okay.
[both groaning, grunting]
[Elis whispers] Calm down.
[Dani groans softly]
[birds chirping]
[poignant music continues]
[Dani moaning]
[Dani grunting]
[insects buzzing]
-[rustling, clattering]
-[Elis breathing heavily]
[lid dropping on table]
[breathing slowly and heavily]
[Elis] You were very lucky.
You were very lucky
that they were such a bunch of amateurs.
[groans softly]
[Dani grunts]
[groans]
[birds chirping]
[stream trickling]
[music fades]
[breathing deeply]
[gasps, whimpers]
[melancholic music playing]
[Dani breathes deeply]
[waves lapping]
[groaning]
[music turns tense]
[melancholic music resumes]
[grunts]
[music fades]
[groans]
[winces, groans]
[gasps]
[winces, huffs]
[door creaks]
[exhales]
[breathes deeply]
[bird calling]
[sighs deeply]
[Elis] I parked your car
back at the motel.
[sniffs] I left the keys
with the lady at the reception.
-What did you give me?
-Hm?
Would you like some more?
Yeah.
[Elis chuckles]
[Elis] Here.
[Dani sighs, shivers]
Well, now it's not just your brother
that you've got one up on.
Ah…
[sniffs]
What were you doing at the warehouse?
Who were those men?
Who were you meeting?
I saw you in the car park with Kätty.
Talking about Silas.
You said you knew a guy
involved with your nephew,
and you were going to see him.
The man who smiles.
The Joker's smile?
He has a scar.
[clears throat, sniffs]
Food's ready in a few minutes.
[water running, stops]
[water runs, stops]
Why did you leave me there?
Why did you go and get me?
I think you're the only one who can
find the person who murdered Silas.
[lighter clicks]
You owe that much to the family.
I'm not the one
who put him into foster care.
It was social services that did it.
I only wanted what was best for him.
That's absolute bullshit.
What about all those times
when you called social services
to bitch about Boel and Ivar?
How did you think
that would affect the boy? Huh?
First you stole him
and then you kicked him out.
He got Oliver involved in some bad shit.
Of course, because that's what boys do!
They fuck around and they get into shit.
I'm not the one who sent him home.
[melancholic music playing]
I just gave up fighting. I…
I began to feel scared.
I was completely lost.
Lost and alone in a deep forest…
What do you mean a forest? Hm?
You've been suspended, haven't you?
Do you want to put things right, Dani?
[Elis] Uh-huh.
Then I'll walk with you into that forest.
I learned that Silas
was interrogated by the police.
I need to know what was said.
Preliminary reports are available
to the public.
The police closed the case.
I'm afraid there's nothing left.
Who was the officer in charge of the case?
Gunnå. Kent Gunnå.
[Dani sighs]
-Who's he? A local cop?
-Mm-hmm.
He's currently on sick leave.
[Dani sniffs]
What do you want out of this, Elis?
I want the man who murdered Silas.
[melancholic music continues]
You and I know Oliver didn't do it.
You agree?
Have you spoken to him yet?
He's been put in solitary confinement.
They won't let him speak to anyone.
What do we do then?
Once we've found him.
Or them, maybe.
If we do this together,
what's in it for me, Elis?
Dani, what's most important to you?
That Oliver be acquitted.
[melancholic music fades]
-[rattling]
-[Oliver sniffs]
[sniffs]
[tense music playing]
[indistinct shouting]
Of course he's fuckin' mad!
-[menacing music playing]
-[thud]
[indistinct shouting continues]
[cracks fingers]
[Oliver] Fuck you, Silas!
[indistinct shouting continues]
[Oliver] What the fuck, man! Get off!
[menacing music builds]
Fuck it, man. I'm fucking done!
[indistinct]
[Silas grunts]
[Oliver] Fucking asshole!
[indistinct shouting]
[cell door unlocks]
[guard] Oliver,
the detective would like to question you.
[keys jingling]
[tense music playing]
-[door creaks]
-[indistinct shouting in background]
[water gurgling]
[tense music fades]
[Dani] Hi.
I'm Dani Anttila.
I'm looking for information
about an interview you did
with Silas Duncke.
I know who you are.
Why don't you just
look it up on the system?
I'm having a little problem
with the system.
-Uh-huh?
-I'm not able to access it.
Maybe it's because you're on leave.
And you're no longer on the case.
[children playing in background]
Go down that way, I'll see you there.
[Gunnå] You needed money.
[sighs] He gave me two days
to pay him back.
[Gunnå] Who's that?
[Silas breathes deeply]
Järven.
[Gunnå] Järven?
[Silas] Yeah.
[Gunnå] We're gonna need more than that
to start an investigation.
Where he lives? His full name? Something.
[Silas] I don't know.
[Gunnå] Yeah. That's usually the case.
[Silas exhales deeply]
[Gunnå] And how are you?
How are things at home?
[Silas] Well, you know,
it's the same old story.
[Gunnå] And what about the brothers,
Ivar and Elis? How are they doing?
[Silas] Just like I said.
[Gunnå] Same old story.
-[scoffs]
-[Silas] It never stops.
They keep on fighting,
over the Land of Sin.
[Gunnå] Are you okay, Silas?
[Silas] I'm sick and fucking tired
of them all and their arguing.
[Gunnå] I understand.
Interview with Silas Duncke
concluded at 10:24 a.m.
[somber music playing]
Did you find this guy Järven?
No, I didn't. I found nothing. Hm.
He disappeared.
To be honest,
I don't actually believe he exists.
-Hmph.
-But they did owe money to someone, right?
People like Silas,
they always have debts with someone.
Have you had many dealings with them?
The families?
The Dunckes?
Quite regularly.
Their disagreement.
-The one between the brothers?
-Mmm.
Is there more to it than the land?
That land's worthless.
I guess it matters to them.
Why would it?
God knows.
[ominous music playing]
It's important enough
to give it a name. Right?
[birds squawking loudly]
[vehicle approaching]
[engine stops]
[car door opens]
[music fades]
[keys jingling]
[lighter clicks]
-[Elis] So did you see anything?
-[Dani] Mm-hmm.
[Elis] And?
I saw the interview with Silas.
He claimed that he had debts
with somebody called Järven.
Ever heard of him?
[keys jingling]
[ominous music playing]
In passing, a very long, long time ago.
Silas must have
heard us talking about him.
-What did he say about him?
-[sighs]
That he was going to kill him.
-But Gunnå thought he was lying.
-[Elis sniffs, clears throat]
[ominous music continues]
[Dani] Silas also mentioned
something about the Land of Sin.
Is there something there besides tadpoles?
[Elis] Such as?
[Dani] If Järven doesn't exist,
then who did they owe money to?
Because we know
they owed money to somebody.
[Elis] Everyone owes something.
[Dani] Everyone?
Same bad guys
dressed in different costumes.
Can you try to find out why?
I'll do the best I can.
[ominous music builds]
[car door closes]
[engine starts]
[sniffs]
[vehicle approaching]
[engine running, stops]
-[Dani] Hi.
-[man] Hello.
-I'm Dani.
-Lars.
-[Dani] Thank you for coming to see me.
-No worries.
[Lars] Ah, here it is.
Here.
This shows you Duncke's land.
All around here, and the boundaries.
[Dani] And this line here,
this is where Ivar's land starts?
[Lars] Yeah, that's it.
It starts here, goes all the way to here.
Elis receives a government grant
for the land here and also… over here.
[suspenseful music playing]
What do you mean, a grant?
Any and all arable land is eligible
for a European grant.
And this one here?
-[Lars] This one? No, they do.
-Synden…
Sorry?
Uh, arable land?
Uh, yes, that's it.
All arable land is eligible for a grant.
[Dani] How much can you get for this?
-[Lars] Here?
-Yeah.
-[Lars] Let me see…
-[papers rustling]
[Lars] Three hundred acres…
Well…
I believe that would get you
a significant amount of money.
[suspenseful music continues]
-[Dani breathing heavily]
-[birds calling]
[music turns poignant]
[Harald sniffling]
[clang]
-[banging]
-[keys jingling]
[music fades]
[insect buzzing]
[woman] Always fixing this car…
[man 1] At least we have one.
[continues indistinctly]
[woman] It's true. Yeah…
[man 2] What the hell is she doing here?
-[woman sighs]
-[man 1] Yeah, what the hell?
[man 2] Is she gonna
hang around here forever?
[woman] Stupid fuckin' bitch.
-[Harald crying]
-[Kätty] Harald?
-[Harald crying]
-There will be more lambs.
All right?
Harald.
We'll go find some tomorrow.
-[door opens]
-[Dani] Hey, Kätty?
[footsteps]
[Dani] Can we talk?
Where is he? Where's Elis?
He's hunting.
So?
Synden.
You receive grants for it.
How long have they
been fighting over the land?
Ten years? Fifteen?
More?
[Kätty] You're just itching to do it,
aren't you?
Do what?
You're looking to put us away.
No, actually, I was just wondering.
I know Elis got the land.
And Ivar, all he got was…
a few fat pigs.
[Kätty] Yeah. What are you getting at?
You're not fighting over pennies.
It's a lot of money.
So you're poking your nose
into our grants now?
Then you'll have problems
with more people than us.
That's my job.
Aren't you busy enough as it is?
How's he doing in custody?
Poor son of a bitch.
Who the fuck do you think you are?
[menacing music playing]
You had your own son arrested.
And then you regretted it.
So then what do you do?
You come here and harass us.
And what are you doing, Kätty?
I'm keeping my family together.
Protecting my clan.
[Kätty] But what the fuck are you doing?
Destroying your own family.
Keep away from us, Dani Anttila.
You got it?
Stay the fuck away from us.
I have a child to take care of.
[man 1] Hey…
Around here, we hunt pigs all year round.
POLICE
[indistinct radio chatter]
[Rogenmo] We just received this.
[Malik] What is it?
A transcript of the interview
with Oliver Anttila.
[radio chatter continues]
[door opens]
[door closes]
[suspenseful music playing]
[dial tone]
[line beeping]
Answer, Dani, come on.
[suspenseful music continues]
[car engine humming]
[Dani] So how's it going?
[Cennerbäck] The samples of Oliver's DNA
found under Silas's nails
speaks for itself.
-You should prepare for the worst.
-Mm.
Basically, Oliver has confessed.
Fuck!
What the hell does she want?
She just never stops.
-What does she have against us?
-[man] It's because of Silas.
[Kätty] Why's she snooping around?
What the fuck does she want?
She's caused enough harm here,
and she's put her own son away!
-I don't understand…
-[man] She's investigating.
-[Kätty] What?
-[man] It's her job.
-She came to see you?
-[Kätty] Yeah.
I don't get it,
why she was poking her nose around.
-I don't believe it.
-Don't believe me?
-Then go and ask Svarten, he heard it all.
-Okay, I'll go and ask him.
-[Kätty] Ask him!
-Did Dani come by here?
-[Svarten] What?
-Has Dani been here?
-[woman] I saw her this evening.
-Asking questions about grants…
-Talking with Kätty.
-About grants?
[lighter clicks]
-[girl 1] Kimmen!
-[girl 2] You've gotta come.
[Kimmen] I don't wanna.
[girl 1] We found burnt stuff
in a barrel behind Elis and Kätty's place.
[girl 2] You have to come.
-You'll want to see this.
-There's all this burnt stuff.
-What?
-[girl 2] In the fire barrel. Come look.
[girl 1] Just come.
-[man 1] You got a light? [laughs]
-[man 2] He's better than nothing.
[man 1] Now he's earning his smokes.
[man 2] Uh, what is this? [grunts]
-I don't give a shit, pass it.
-[Michel] It's pure moonshine.
This shit is even worse than the shit…
[continues indistinctly]
[Järven laughs] Yeah. Awful, no?
-I'm serious.
-[man 2] Ugh! Tastes like… gasoline.
[grunts]
[Järven exclaims]
[men laughing]
[men continue talking indistinctly]
[dramatic music playing]
[girl 1] It's over here.
[Svarten] No one else pays attention
to what she's doing, but I do.
I'm gonna get rid of her.
I'm not joking. I'm absolutely serious.
We can't have this fucking bitch
snooping around and messing up
everything we've accomplished.
I'll make sure
she understands she's not welcome.
-[woman 1] She has to go.
-[woman 2] Make her leave.
-[man] Get rid of her.
-[woman 1] No!
[Svarten] Give me one good reason
for us to spare her. Just one reason!
[woman 1] It's not a matter
of whether or not we spare her.
We have to think this through.
We have to be smart about it.
Otherwise, we'll end up in trouble.
[man] With what she knows,
we're already in trouble.
We have to act now.
We can't wait for her
to tell the authorities.
[woman 1] I know.
[man] Once she's out of the way,
everything'll be okay.
She won't stop.
She's been snooping around here for years.
[dramatic music continues]
[tires screeching]
[girl 1] That's Silas's stuff, isn't it?
Remember that time in Stockholm?
That was the best.
[Järven] It was '95.
-Expensive.
-[man 1] Stop.
-Cheers.
-[man 2] Cheers.
[man speaking indistinctly]
[dramatic music builds]
[tires squealing]
[Järven] Drunk as a skunk.
[Kåre] Hey, Elis, can you put
some fucking heating in your garage?
[Kåre] I'm not joking. It's freezing!
