would you say that there's something wrong with me?

- Sorry.

- Stop it!

It's f***ing not me,

there is something wrong with! It is you!

It is you.

Anna?

Hello, you. Hello.

So.

Maybe we should ask your parents

to come and help?

- They still wouldn't come.

- No.

I must go to work and find out

why they didn't report it.

So Alexander is just there.

I wish I could be there.

I will not be a mother.

- Come on.

- I don't think I'm supposed to.

I miss Alexander.

I do too.

Huh? Huh?

Hello.

Should we turn around here?

So we can take a nap.

Should you have a little nap?

Excuse me? Hey! Do you have a light?

Thank you. Hello.

Yes? What?

From whom?

No, damn it! It's f***ing lie!

Hey!

Hey! Hey!

- What happened?

- He ran away with Sonny!

- He ran away with my son!

- Who?

Call the police! Hey! Hey!

No! Come back!

Come back!

I have to ask about it.

Is Anna okay?

- What's the matter?

- Hold up.

A baby of seven weeks has disappeared

on a playground at Solbakken.

Station 5 here. We are on the way.

Good morning. As you can see,

We have closed off the area.

- He ran that way.

- Is it those who have lost a child?

We can cancel the barrier.

No, Tristan?

- What did you say?

- We don't need a barrier.

He does not believe a damn thing I'm saying.

I stand there talking on my phone.

A guy comes running,

takes my son and runs in that direction.

I get them to call.

And I run down to a parked car.

I couldn't see the plates.

- He looked Eastern European.

- Shut up.

- I run after him ...

- Hey, hey. Wait right here.

Look at me, Sanne.

Look at me.

Where is Sonny?

Someone took him.

- Where is Sonny?

- Someone has taken him, dammit!

Someone has taken him?

You didn't just forget him somewhere?

Tristan.

Tristan, come here.

- What?

- Come here.

- I know that you are lying.

- What are you talking about?

Tell me,

where did you hide the child.

- My son has been kidnapped.

- Tell me. Where is he?

- I said, I ran after ...

- What the hell have you done to him?

- Hey, hey!

- You got a f***ing problem?

Now relax, okay?

- Sorry.

- What the hell's wrong with you?

It just seems absurd.

- We can't know that for sure.

- You can tell he's lying.

I know damn well he's lying.

Quiet, right?

So let us take her.

I can break her in two seconds.

-

What have you done with him?

Don't bother.

We know he hasn't been kidnapped.

We are not idiots.

You've lied to us the whole time.

How have you done with him?

Is he dead?

Have you killed him?

- He is not dead.

- Where is he then?

- He is not dead.

- What have you done to Sonny, Sanne?

- It is not him.

- What have you done to Sonny?

- It is not him.

- "It's not him," you say.
