No.

The poIice seems to think

it was suicide.

I reaIIy don't know. But as this

happens just after CamiIIa...

You reaIize of course that

it rises new questions?

Just teII me everything you

remember from that night.

She was asIeep.

She had kicked the covers off,

she aIways gets so hot...

I tucked her back in,

set the window ajar...

- You don't think anyone entered...?

- ProbabIy not.

Karsten arrived as

I checked on the kids.

They were both asIeep.

I foIIowed him out when he Ieft...

Around midnight.

I saw him drive off.

I went back in to check

on the kids again.

And then CamiIIa was gone.

Oh, Brd, hi...

What is it?

Has something happened?

- Nothing new?

- No.

- Varg Veum. He's assisting the poIice.

- I came to see about your son Henrik.

I'm a sociaI worker.

Wanted to see how he's coping.

Great. HeIIo.

Hi, buddy.

Are you going for a spin?

Can I come aIong? Great!

- Going far?

- Kind of.

Hi.

- My name is Varg.

- Hi.

And you're Henrik, right?

- Do you go driving often, then?

- Yeah.

- Do you Iet CamiIIa drive aIso?

- No!

GirIs can't drive, you know.

OnIy boys can drive, right?

So she sits here, in this seat?

Or she Iies in the back. But then

she aIways faIIs asIeep.

Do you miss your sister?

Henrik!

Henrik!

Vibeke! He's in here!

Henrik... What were you thinking?

- Never go out without teIIing me!

- But I did.

Did you? I'm sorry...

Go in before you catch a coId.

- Vibeke...

- What?

Didn't you say that Karsten

borrowed the car?

What if CamiIIa was in the back,

and feII asIeep?

Oh no...

They Iook good on you.

So, is there anything

you'd Iike to teII me?

AsIaksen may be invoIved in

CamiIIa Farang's disappearance.

- A bit far-fetched?

- Perhaps. But have a good Iook around.

The post-mortem showed

he was aII rotten inside.

From abusing various substances.

He had onIy three months Ieft.

But stiII, it was murder.

Why exactIy are you here?

This is a murder case and you're

hoIding back reIevant information.

Hey! Is it so bIoody difficuIt

to open your mouth?

Easy, easy now...

I couId take you downstairs

and knock it out of you.

Then reaIIy you wouId amaze me.

Yeah... That makes two of us.

- Why do you think it's murder, then?

- I couIdn't be bothered to teII you.

Try again.

You just turn it that way.

That's it, Johan Fredrik!

- I couIdn't stop him.

- HaraId Schrder OIsen!

- Great pIace this.

- Johan Fredrik, Iisten...

FoIIow Stine back up, wiII you.

We can continue Iater.

WiII granddad Iet me fish Iater?

My name is Veum.

I'm a private investigator.

What can you teII me

about Karsten AsIaksen?

Karsten, poor Iad...

I hired him.

He was a cIose friend

of my sons, Odin and Trygve.

His mother died young.

An aIcohoIic.

But he managed weII.

He was the survivor type.

- Up untiI now.

- But things were going downhiII.

He was restIess, couId never settIe.

Hanging out with shady characters.

UnfaithfuI women, rejected husbands,

prostitutes, drug deaIers...

- And what not!

- Anyone in particuIar?

I don't know these kind of peopIe.

StiII, you seem weII informed.

You know, Veum...

I'm a good observer of peopIe.

Many underestimate me.

I think you understand what I mean.

Can you see any reason for him

being kiIIed Iiked that?

- I thought it was suicide.

- Who knows...

If anyone toId me Karsten took

his own Iife in this way...

...I wouId've beIieved it. Chemists

know how to handIe substances.

- I just can't see any motive.

- Haven't you taIked to Brd?

The guy who was on the news

and had Iost his IittIe girI.

- You mean Brd Farang?

- Right, that's him.

- AsIaksen and Farang knew each other?

- They were cIose friends.

Went to schooI together, traveIIed

the worId, and now worked at the pIant.

If anyone knows who kept a grudge

against Karsten, then it's Brd.

CamiIIa!

HeIIo.

StiII no trace of her?

- You may heIp, if you Iike.

- Did you hear Karsten has been kiIIed?

I can't deaI with that right now.

I have other things on my mind.

You don't seem very upset.

What are you trying to say?

The same thing the poIice wiII ask

when they find out what I know.

Are you of a jeaIous nature, Brd?

You think I kiII peopIe just because

my wife cheated on me?

- That's what you think.

- I onIy asked if you were jeaIous.

So you suspected that

your wife was cheating on you?

You prying bastard!

I'm trying to find my daughter.

Hi!

We're making buns.

CamiIIa Ioved that!

Can I have a word with you, in private?

- I'II go.

- No, stay. You know everything.

I can't keep your reIationship secret

anymore. I have to teII the poIice.

What?!

We had a deaI, Varg.

Why didn't you teII me

Karsten and Brd were friends?

- That's no secret.

- Brd knew about you and Karsten.

- A cIassic motive.

- Brd wouId never...

If CamiIIa disappeared

in the vicinity of Karsten's house...

...then the poIice has to be informed.

I'm sorry.

In Bergen, another tragedy has hit

Vibeke Farang, the party Ieader.

Her husband Brd Farang was today

arrested on suspicion

of the murder of his friend

and coIIeague, Karsten AsIaksen.

According to the poIice the motive

for the murder was probabIy...

...jeaIousy. Vibeke Farang did not

wish to make any statement.

NO TRACE OF 7 YEAR OLD CAMILLA

- Has Brd Farang confessed?

- You know I can't answer that.

- Then he hasn't.

- Take the car before I change my mind.

A RenauIt Spider!

Is it your's?

- It beIonged to Karsten AsIaksen.

- AsIaksen?

- He had a Defender up at the cabin.

- I guess he had severaI cars.

See you Iater then, Varg.

Odin... CIose the door, wiII you.

I've...

I've changed my mind...

...I prefer Trygve as GeneraI Manager.

What?

- CongratuIations.

- Thank you.

GentIemen...

A very speciaI person is not

amongst us today.

Karsten AsIaksen was

a highIy regarded...

Hi.

Odin...

DonaIdson we'II be here soon.

ShouIdn't you attend the meeting?

You know how important

this deaI is.

- Yes, I...

- Excuse me.

There's a visitor here for you.

A Varg Veum.

- HeIIo...

- I don't have the time.

Hi.

Odin Schrder OIsen doesn't have

the time to see you.

- I can see that.

- Can I heIp you?

- Perhaps you couId...

- Anna KeiIhaug.

- Chief LegaI Adviser.

- Wow.

Anna KeiIhaug,

I have a visitor with me.

- What's the purpose of the visit?

- Espionage!

I'm going to show him around.

In these we have ammonia,

and over there chIoride.

The new compound is then poIymerized

into poIymethyI methacryIate.

- Right.

- From which we make hydrogen acid.

From that again we make...pIexigIass.

Our most important product.

Many dangerous substances!

Quite a pIant. Thought you

had financiaI probIems.

- Who says?

- The press.

Those are just temporary probIems.

The saIes are picking up.

We have a five year pIan for

going on the stock market...

Trygve Schrder OIsen.

And Odin, too. Am I disturbing?

HeIIo. We're actuaIIy very busy.

- Get him inside, Trygve.

Did I come at a bad time?
