Did she call

to say she'd be late?

My dad doesn't want me

to have a phone.

She didn't phone the house?

Is he grumpy often?

Has your mother been upset lately?

When your father's been grumpy?

Have you ever seen her cry?

No.

But I saw Daddy cry.

When?

A few nights ago.

He saw me too.

What did he do?

Locked himself in the bathroom.

Where was Mommy

hen he was crying?

She'd gone out

Oh, sh*t.

Yes, is this Filip Becker?

Uh, yeah, I'm gonna

have to call you back.

I better go. Thank you.

He cried last week.

Why did you build

the snowman facing the house?

I didn't build the snowman.

This is Birte Becker.

Please leave a message.

You want a coffee or something?

No.

Look, you're not gonna

try and sleep with me, are you?

No.

Okay, good.

She'll show up.

She's having an affair.

She left her coat and

her handbag in the house.

And the front door was open.

Even if you're having an affair,

you do not leave

your child like that.

And Harry, she's not the only one.

Look, this is Hege Dahl.

Missing two weeks. Similar age.

Young children.

Unhappy marriage.

Talk to the husband.

411 to dispatch.

Dispatch, do you receive?

- Go ahead, 411.

- Now, I'm in Mount Ulriken.

It looks like a homicide.

Uh, adult female.

It's hard to see from here but,

uh, there's a lot of blood.

A group of school

children found her.

I've got a problem.

Rafto just showed up.

What the hell's he doing there?

He's been suspended.

Yeah, try telling him that.

We sent the kids

down with their teacher.

Make sure there's a

care officer to meet them.

And someone to deal

with the parents.

One of the children heard a noise

and they went to see what it was.

Listen, John, I'm gonna need you

to calm down. Calm down.

It's important that

you answer my question.

Who's in charge?

Svensson.

Jesus.

It gets worse.

Rafto just arrived.

Perfect.

The drunk and the halfwit.

Just keep them apart, will you?

I'll see what I can do.

Where you going?

Rafto!

Rafto!

- We're closed.

- It's all right.

You have something of mine.

It's not yours.

Cold case.

I have clearance to take it out.

You don't.

So what, you gonna report me?

Eli Kvale.

Tell me.

She was married.

She had three children.

The 12th of November,

six years ago, she went missing.

And the day she vanished,

it was snowing.

Hege Dahl disappeared

the 8th of November.

The day she went missing,

it was snowing.

Not unusual, it's winter.

Now Birte Becker.

And the night she disappeared...

- Snowing.

- Yeah.

I think it's the falling snow

that sets the killer off.

And furthermore, they were married,

they all have children.

Did you talk to Filip Becker?

Nine times out of ten,

Peter Straughan

Peter Straughan (born 1968) is a playwright and author, based in the north-east of England. He was writer-in-residence at Newcastle's Live Theatre Company. Whilst there, Live staged his plays, Bones and Noir. Both of these plays have displayed Straughan's talent for writing dark, twisted and witty stories. His first ambition was to be a professional musician and he achieved this while playing bass guitar with Newcastle-based band "The Honest Johns". He spent four years touring and recording with the band through the late 1980s and into the early 1990s before leaving to take up full-time education at Newcastle University. While Peter was a student he was also a member of the band Cactusman. Peter wrote the song "Killer", which appeared on the CD album North of London, a collection of music by North East bands released through Newcastle Arts. Straughan co-wrote the 2006 feature film, Mrs Ratcliffe's Revolution and adapted Toby Young's memoir How to Lose Friends & Alienate People. He is the writer of the 2009 film, The Men Who Stare at Goats, and co-writer of the 2011 film Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, for which he was nominated for the Academy Award for Adapted Screenplay, a screenplay he wrote in collaboration with his late wife Bridget O'Connor. O'Connor died of cancer, aged 49, in 2010, before the film was released. They were awarded a BAFTA for Best Adapted Screenplay. more…
