[somber music stops]
[sighs deeply]
[Cecilie] I think Katarina
broke the window.
We had an argument at the school
over a video that Oscar made.
-[Aicha] Can I see the video?
-Yeah, of course.
-Let's go in here.
-Sure.
I gotta fix my hair… ♪
[Cecilie] I guess Oscar
shared this to a group.
A thread that he has
with some boys and my son.
I think he set up an old nanny cam
for recording this and to peep on Ruby.
[hammering]
But I talked to Viggo yesterday.
And he said that Oscar showed him
a video much worse than that.
-Is… that on here too?
-No, it's not in the thread.
He showed Viggo the video
on his own phone.
And I guess he gave Viggo
some sort of threat…
that he should keep quiet about it.
And…
I didn't want
to put pressure on him before.
[sighs]
With everything going on and…
[whispers] He is very, very afraid.
Hmm.
[sighs]
[somber music playing]
Um… If you report Oscar
for giving sexual material to a minor,
then I can get a search warrant
and get the nanny cam and his phone.
-The video would be on there.
-I'd need to report Oscar?
-Yeah.
-[exhales deeply]
[opening theme music playing]
SECRETS WE KEEP
[somber choir music playing]
[sighs]
Yeah?
We've had a report that your son,
Oscar Hoffmann, has shared material
depicting the sexual abuse
of Ruby Tan with other minors.
[sighs deeply]
Tell me who reported it.
I'm gonna need access to your house
and all Oscar's devices.
[Kat] This is a fucking witch hunt.
Now we just report anybody,
even if there were
five other boys in that thread?
Are you saying we can't come in?
-Have you got a warrant or what?
-Of course I do.
[sighs]
[somber music playing]
[door closes]
Hey, honey. They're fucking back.
[Aicha] Take his room.
I'll take the basement.
[Kat] Can you come home?
Why do I always
have to do everything, huh?
Oh, fuck.
[Aicha] Was there a camera in Ruby's room?
Did Cecilie tell you this? Huh? Did she?
-Was there a camera in her room?
-A camera?
[scoffs] We got rid of all the old stuff
when we packed up her things.
Who even are you?
Why are you acting
like he's some kind of criminal?
Huh? Yeah, stupid prank. I know it was.
But boys peep on girls
in the locker room all the time.
He's just a little boy.
Did you see what the others shared?
It's not much better, you know.
[birds chirping]
[tense music playing]
[Kat] Why the hell did you report
Oscar to the police?
Huh?
It was you, right? Wasn't it?
I just did what I had to.
You just had to, huh? Okay.
[scoffs]
When did you ever have to work
for anything in your life anyway? Huh?
Katarina, Oscar is running wild.
What's that?
He needs help.
[faint, threatening music playing]
You saying I'm not a good mother?
Really? I can't believe you're judging me.
Tell me what kinda mother
you'd be with no… au pair or those pills?
-Katarina.
-Huh?
Dunno if you recall, but you just left
your little eight-week-old infant
home alone.
If I hadn't come over and found Viggo--
-Stop!
-Did I say a word?
No, I was comforting you
in our living room
as you cried and cried,
"Am I capable of being a mother?"
So you don't fucking judge me, dammit!
I'm a fucking great mother.
[threatening music playing]
[door slams, beeps]
[breathing shakily]
[somber choir music playing]
[Cecilie] What exactly was on the video
Oscar showed you?
You have to tell me now, Viggo.
I'm serious.
[man] We went through everything. Nothing.
[Aicha] That's impossible.
You've missed something, then.
-[man] No, we checked everything.
-[Aicha] Okay.
[cell phone rings]
Hi, Ella.
The DNA test
from Rasmus Hoffmann is a match.
Fuck, fantastic.
So he's the baby's father?
No.
It's a 24.1% match with the fetus.
24.1? Uh, what's that mean here?
[somber music playing]
[footsteps approaching]
[Angel] The ceremony for Ruby
is at 12 tomorrow, so we should…
What's wrong?
It's Oscar.
Oscar's the reason Ruby killed herself.
He raped her.
No.
-[Cecilie] Mike.
-[Mike on phone] What's up?
[somber music continues]
[sniffles] You have to come home.
What's going on?
[sobs]
[somber music continues]
You can't be here right now.
[crows cawing]
[Oscar] They're saying
what I did was wrong.
I'm sorry, it was. [exhales sharply]
But she has to do what I tell her.
She has to. She can't say no.
She can't.
What?
She's hired to like me, right?
She has to like me.
Oscar, you need to go home!
You need to go home.
Can I stay, please?
-Just go home.
-Please.
Please.
[door opens]
-Mike!
-[Mike] Yeah.
-What are you doing here, Oscar?
-No, no. Please let me stay.
Go with Mike, okay?
Come with me. Okay? Let's go.
[breathes shakily]
[Mike] Rasmus?
Oscar was just at our place. So…
The police are saying Oscar raped Ruby.
They say he may be the one
who got her pregnant.
They want to take him in
and get social services involved.
[faint somber music playing]
What… what's the plan?
-He's out there. He's afraid, so…
-As my lawyer, what do you suggest?
-I think you should go to him.
-Tell me what to do.
Mike, you of all people know
how this could ruin everything for him.
You're my friend, right?
Can I count on you?
Yeah.
[somber music continues]
[Cecilie] I can't believe
that's what she was trying to tell me.
Sorry I didn't trust you, Mike.
Yeah.
It's all right, babe.
I've just… I dunno what got into me.
-Sorry.
-[Mike sighs]
It's fine.
Come here. Come.
It'll be all right.
[birds chirping]
[somber music intensifies]
[somber music fades]
[Vera babbling]
[Kat] I'm not doing it.
You can't ask me to.
Of course we're going
to the memorial service. Come on.
Why are you like this? Why?
[scoffs, hesitates] Why are you so mad
at me now?
Come on. Tell me what you're thinking.
How the hell did you not notice
what was going on with our son?
-I knew it. I fucking knew it.
-You have one job in this house.
-That's to care for my son's upbringing.
-I've got that.
-No, you don't.
-I've got that.
You punched his teacher.
You definitely do not.
You didn't hear
what he said about our son!
You weren't there! You didn't hear! I was.
-It doesn't matter--
-I was. I'm making this house a home.
Listen, I'm taking over now.
I spoke to the folks at Herlufsholm.
-They have space. He can start right away.
-What?
Honey, he has as much right
to be at that school--
He's not going there anymore.
He needs a fresh start. That's that.
-You'll let them win, then?
-[yells] Just stop already!
Get dressed.
[somber music playing]
[scoffs]
[sobs]
What are you saying?
Baby, hey.
What…
Honey? [sniffles]
[chuckles softly]
[sniffles]
If you think that's what's best,
then of course, that's what we'll do.
[Kat sniffles] Sorry, honey.
I'm sorry I'm such
a disappointment to you.
[Rasmus] Right.
[Kat sobs]
I just feel that nothing I do matters.
It's like I'm completely invisible to you.
[sobs]
But now you're taking my son from me.
You need to offer something else.
You need to give me
something else instead.
I can't just wander around
this empty house all alone. I can't.
[floorboards squeaking]
[exhales deeply]
[sniffles]
[Kat] Hi, sweetheart.
You foolish boy.
[Kat] Come here.
Come here, sweetie. Come.
[sniffles, sighs]
[sniffles]
[somber music continues]
[Kat sniffles]
Everything I do, I do for you two.
[church bells tolling]
[indistinct chatter]
[softly] Hi.
Thank you.
[Angel in Tagalog] Darna,
can you put this down?
[Darna] Thank you.
[Mike clears throat]
[door opens]
[in Tagalog] What are they doing here?
-What is she doing here?
-[Darna] Bastards!
[Angel in English]
What are you doing here?
[whispers] I have these.
You're not welcome here.
-What do you mean?
-[Angel] Leave.
Get out.
[Angel] I said leave!
Kat.
[Kat] Sorry.
[somber music playing]
[Rasmus] Kat. Come on.
[sobbing]
[bell rings]
[priest] In the name of the Father,
the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
[mourners] Amen.
[priest] Please sit.
[singing in Tagalog]
[Mike] Since he is under 15,
they cannot take him to trial.
But if the police find him
to be the perpetrator,
it's a case for the Youth Crime Board,
who will be the ones
to determine the punishment.
[Mike] They call it
social work activities.
-But worst-case scenario, they can--
-Hi.
-Hi, hon.
-[Cecilie] What's this?
We just have to figure out
Oscar's legal status.
[Cecilie] Legal status?
[Rasmus] Yeah, we don't think the police
have grounds to suspect Oscar of rape.
So we just need to figure out
how to make clear to them
that we dispute the insinuation
that Oscar raped her
based on a naked video
that he shared on the internet.
He did rape Ruby.
Well, Cecilie, we actually don't know
what happened between the two of them.
-It's not clear.
-He showed Viggo a video of it.
[sighs]
What video?
Where is it?
It's true. Um, Viggo, he, um…
says Oscar showed him
a video of him raping Ruby. But…
But they only have the video
from the text thread.
-It's possible Viggo's lying.
-Viggo's not lying.
Let's try to stick
just to what the police are saying here.
Oscar got Ruby pregnant, Rasmus.
If Ruby chose to engage
in sex with a minor,
then she's the one
who committed a crime here.
Legally that's right.
[Rasmus] We may have
a moral responsibility
to report something
that took place right under our noses.
So Oscar's the victim here.
And nothing's worse for a young man
than to be labeled a predator.
[ominous music playing]
[Carl] The Hoffmanns are absolutely livid
about the DNA test results.
They're worried that Ruby
could have abused Oscar sexually.
-Son of a bitch…
-Aicha, I know what you're thinking--
No, he raped her.
The parents deleted the evidence.
But these cases are some of the hardest
to bring to prosecute.
Even when the victim is alive
and can testify.
And besides,
Oscar's under the age of 15, so
it'll be a case for social services.
[inhales sharply] I just don't believe
she committed suicide.
If she was so devout
that she wouldn't get an abortion, Carl,
then she wouldn't be thinking about it.
Don't you think?
Huh?
She's a little fucking zero
in their world.
No one will help her!
And these fuckers get off scot-free?
[sighs]
[sighs]
You're twisting everything, Mike. [sighs]
Sure, you could say that.
But Rasmus is right.
-If it wasn't a rape, then…
-But it was.
It was a rape, Mike.
-Well, if Oscar denies it, that's that.
-Oscar doesn't. He admitted it.
Not to the police.
I know Rasmus. He'll fight back, honey.
He'll deny the rape.
He'll say Viggo's lying.
Well, I believe Viggo.
I do too. 'Kay?
But we can't put him through all this.
Honey?
Be honest for a second here.
You're afraid to make waves with Rasmus
because he's your top client.
That's not true!
And it's irrelevant anyway, what we think.
-[Cecilie sighs deeply]
-Okay?
'Cause if there's no evidence of a rape,
well, it's actually Ruby who committed--
I understand what the law says, okay?
[Mike sighs]
[somber music playing]
-It's about what's right.
-Hmm.
Yeah.
Hon.
I don't think we should make Viggo testify
in a case that could be traumatizing,
where he has to take the stand
against his friend
and get accused of lying.
It'll be very ugly. Really ugly.
Without any evidence
and Ruby not there to testify.
He's just a kid.
He's sensitive and needs his mom and dad,
not some huge courtroom media frenzy.
You need to understand that.
[sighs deeply]
[light snoring]
[somber music continues]
[birds chirping]
[somber music fades]
[Mike] Hmm. Good morning.
[Cecilie sighs]
Okay, Angel.
I'm just, um…
I think I need
to spend more time with my kids.
I want to.
-They would love that.
-Hmm.
[sighs] Look…
You've been an amazing help.
But I also think that, right now,
it's best for both of us
to be with our children.
[chuckles] What are you saying, Cecilie?
Well…
Of course, I will pay you
for the next three months.
And for your ticket home.
[inhales deeply]
And I also put some money
for your startup in here.
-[chuckles]
-This way, you can be with your son.
[scoffs] You're firing me?
This will be better for your son
that you come ho… come home.
You have no idea
what is best for my son, Cecilie.
No idea.
[tense music playing]
[scoffs]
[hesitates] Well, my son
is getting older and…
After what happened with Oscar,
I'm, um… I'm sure you understand.
So you're firing me for what Oscar did?
I don't, uh… I just don't want Viggo
to be confused
about his relationship with you.
You're very close, and…
He's at a strange age
in terms of sexuality.
What are you talking about?
Viggo doesn't even touch himself.
I'm really not sure
that it's appropriate that you know that.
Of course. I wash his sheets.
If he'd ever done that, you'd know.
I'm just trying to save you, Angel.
Save me from what?
I don't need you to save me, Cecilie.
I need my job.
Well, then you… you shouldn't have lied
on your application form.
And you took money from… from my son.
You accepted the money.
I… I can't have someone
be part of my family who does that, you…
[inhales deeply] I'm so sorry, but I…
That's why I'm firing you, okay?
[sniffles]
Cecilie.
[sniffles]
You don't know my world.
You know nothing about my world.
[inhales sharply]
You are just lucky.
Very lucky, you know?
Very lucky.
[Ruby sobs]
Um…
I just want to help.
[sobs]
[frustrated sigh]
[birds chirping]
[distant chatter]
[somber music playing]
[sighs]
[Viggo] Angel?
Hey.
[Viggo sniffles]
I love you, Angel.
[somber music fades]
So there are these feet,
and you have to shoot these
into the other goal.
Is that you with that… the stripe?
-Uh, yeah, I'm the guy in blue.
-Yeah. Okay.
-[Mike] Hey.
-She down?
-Yeah. Finally.
-Ah, good.
It's fun.
[Mike] Rasmus asked
if we would come say goodbye.
[Cecilie] Say goodbye?
[Mike] Yeah. It's Oscar.
He's starting at Herluf Monday.
[Cecilie] Hmm.
You okay?
You wanna say goodbye?
I don't think…
I don't know if Viggo should go there.
So what? We, uh… we keep hiding?
We… we can't just go on ignoring it.
We'll run into them.
We'll see them in the street. We, uh…
I need to be in a board meeting
with Rasmus in two days.
Come for a glass.
Okay, one glass of wine.
One glass. Okay?
Daddy and Mommy will go there
and say our farewells for you too.
And Oscar will… It'll work out.
-And you'll look after Vera.
-[Cecilie] Yeah, good idea.
-Okay, son?
-Great.
[cell phone rings]
-Honey.
-[Mike] Hmm?
-I gotta take this. See you in a sec.
-Okay.
-I'll just go ahead.
-Okay.
[sighs] Cecilie here.
It's Aicha.
I wanna ask you to reconsider
having Viggo give a statement.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
Without a video,
it's just his word against theirs.
We… we don't want to put him through that.
Then we'll have to close the case.
Yeah, I'm sorry, but we have to do it.
Cecilie, if your neighbors are willing
to destroy the evidence
of their son committing rape,
what else do you think they're capable of?
I can't help you.
We made up our minds already.
Bye.
[somber music continues]
I gotta go to boarding school.
Yeah. I heard.
I know you really hate me.
No, Oscar. I don't.
You're a boy, okay? It's…
It's… It's your parents. I…
It's not my mom's fault.
They argued about the whole thing.
What do you mean?
Who was arguing? Your mother and father?
My mother and Ruby.
The next morning she was gone.
[somber music continues]
[indistinct chatter]
[Mike] It's a good school.
[Rasmus] Yeah, he'll learn discipline.
It will be good for him.
-Hi.
-[Mike] Hi, honey.
Hi.
[Rasmus] Come have a drink.
-[clicks tongue]
-[Kat] Hi, darling!
-I think I'll go talk to her first.
-[Mike] Okay.
[indistinct chatter]
[Rasmus laughs]
-Hi, darling.
-Hi.
Hi. Great to see you.
-I'm so glad you came.
-Hmm.
I wanna apologize about what I said.
[inhales deeply]
Let's not go around
mom-shaming each other, you know?
We're both great moms.
How are you?
[Cecilie inhales deeply]
[sighs]
I thought…
you said that you didn't speak to Ruby.
The night she vanished.
[scoffs] Sorry.
-What?
-I suppose it doesn't matter anymore now.
Did Ruby tell you about the rape?
[sighs deeply]
You and I… [scoffs]
…we're very,
very different kinds of mothers.
To you, it's so important that kids learn
to clear the table after the meals,
and… to me,
it's important they learn how to fight.
For all of this.
For you, it's a given it's here.
But I know how it can just…
vanish any second, you know?
How did Ruby die?
[ominous music playing]
Tell me how you think she died.
-What?
-Tell me what you think.
You wanna know
if I was the one who did it?
Was I? [scoffs]
[ominous music intensifies]
[Rasmus] Excuse me!
We're actually missing
our ladies over here!
Darling.
Those men…
they think everything sorts itself out.
[Rasmus] What little secrets
are you ladies whispering?
We're just whispering about the work we do
that's invisible to all of you silly men.
[Rasmus] But, honey, you're not invisible.
I see you right now.
[Kat laughs] Shut up.
[Rasmus speaks indistinctly]
[ominous music continues]
[Mike] Honey, you coming?
[ominous music recedes]
[ominous music intensifies]
[ominous music recedes]
