I asked if he had a job for me.

And he did.

If I had ''what it took''.

Tell me more.

Did you ... do anything special

to get the job?

No.

Go to sleep.

Poker?

There.

What?

Strip poker.

Fine.

-You cheat!

-Come on.

Are you ready for this?

It's a powerful sight.

Come on.

Fine.

I'm chicken.

Go get some firewood.

Holy sh*t!

Hey. Good morning.

Time to get up.

Per?

I have something for you in here.

It's seven o'clock.

Time to get up.

What's the rush?

We have a busy schedule today.

You scared the sh*t out of me!

-You hurt me.

-How?

Look at this.

I didn't touch you.

In the tent.

The tent?

I went to find cell phone coverage.

What were you doing

over by the tent?

I'm never going back to that pond.

Didn't I tell you

to stay away from the pond?

I could have sworn I did.

Gunnar, Per has something

he'd like to share with us.

Thanks for nothing, Judas.

I found coverage.

We could have called someone.

If we don't respect my rules,

we can't work together.

Everyone but Per

joins me on today's mission.

I haven't even used the outhouse.

Finally you can help

someone other than yourself.

We'll be back in a couple of hours.

You should be done by then.

I'll do anything but this.

Anything.

-How about the Star?

-The Star?

An old Indian game

we played when we were kids.

Per liked to tie people down and

wait for the ants to come get them.

Good idea.

Why, Gunnar? You can't punish me

for checking my cell phone.

Sure I can.

Gunnar,

forget about your ghosts for once.

I agree with Gunnar. The same rules

should apply to everybody.

I want to marry you.

I want you to have my baby.

Gunnar could be your father!

-Not likely.

-Let's go.

Lasse, my best friend ...

You get to relax.

We have to go out

with the guide from hell -

- and do God knows what.

-And I get to stay here.

Is this the thanks I get

for fixing that tape recorder?

Don't go down to the pond.

There's something in the water.

I want all those logs up here.

He's kidding, right?

No.

Turn it over.

Sh*t!

-Can't you even carry a log?

-Shut up!

Give up?

This'll get the nicotine

out of your body.

What are we doing here?

I want to go back to Per.

Everything has a purpose.

That you can be macho

in front of the girls?

Don't forget

that I'm paying you for this.

Now we're curious, Gunnar.

-What are you making?

-Ever hear of Sisyphus?

Sisyphus tried to cheat death.

He was doomed forever in Hades

to roll a boulder up a steep hill.

Every time he reached the top,

the boulder would roll back down.

Sisyphus was a happy man.

You've worked with him for 15 years,

and let him carry on like this?

Yes.

Leave me alone.

You need to rest this foot

for a couple of days.

You don't need

to always act so tough.

I'm serious.

Where's the Gunnar

I enjoy working with?

The one who cares about people.

I've never tolerated disloyalty.

You know all about that.

But punishments? And this grind?

What are you up to?

How old is your daughter?

Do you get to meet her

often enough?

Isn't that more important than

turning these idiots into a team?

There's plenty here.

Go away!

Take it out.

It's cool.

Look at all those ants at work.

-They keep the forest clean.

-You're sick, all of you.

Whoever put this here, is sick.

Per?

Gunnar?

Per?

He got loose.

Look at this.

Leave it.

Let him clean this up himself.

Come on.

Let's get this crap out of here.

Where could he be, Gunnar?

Where is he?

He probably went home.

And waved this dream job goodbye?

-He wasn't the right type.

-Shouldn't we go look for him?

Who goes home

and leaves their keys behind?

I don't like this.

Maybe there's something out there.

There is something out there.

What?

We found something in the pond

by that tent.

Do you want to tell them

what we found, Gunnar?

We found ...

... a dead woman in a fishing net.

And we just left her there.

Didn't we, Gunnar?

It happened over a month ago.

-Why didn't you tell us?

-Gunnar's orders.

We can't do anything until Sunday.

This trip is over. There may be

two people in that pond!

You give up at the first sign

of adversity? This is why we ...

Bullshit!

Why didn't you tell us?

The decision to continue

was not an easy one to make.

This is my responsibility.

You are free to leave if you want.

But don't expect

to work for me again.

Hi, Gunnar.

I'm sitting here at the Green Bar,

sending smoke signals to Per.

These cigarettes are dry.

They're a month old, after all.

But thank you for a nice trip.

Want a drink

while we wait for Per's return?

Take it easy!

Stop these ridiculous punishments.

You're starting to lose control,

Gunnar.

I gave you both a fair chance.

If anything has happened to Per,

I'm going to sue the sh*t out of you!

Get in line.

Gunnar!

Wasn't Lasse with you?

He'll be up there for another hour.

He went back to the tent.

Give me a break, Gunnar!

-How's your foot?

-You're starting to lose it.

Don't go out there!

Sara!

I've had enough of your sh*t!

Per?

Let's end that pine cone war, OK?

Lasse?

I just slapped Gunnar.

Good job, Sara.

I'm starting to believe in you.

Did you see Per?

He's probably running around

out there in his dress.

How long has he been into that?

Per and I grew up together.

He does so many crazy things.

But he took this job ...

Because he's in love with you.

How about you?

I'm an old man.

Ready to settle down.

Shouldn't you leave home first?

I plan to have many little Lasses.

One there, one over there ...

And one that climbs up there.

He's cute!

Hello?

Per, are you planning

on burning down the whole forest?

Per?

We should get our sleeping bags

and lie down here.

Per?

Are you asleep?

Where did you find him?

By the pond.

What's happened?

Do you see what you have done?!

Get out of here!

Don't go!

We don't know what's out there!

Let him go.

We'll just fish him

out of the pond tomorrow.

-I'll go down to the car and call.

-I'll go with you.

No, stay with Elin.

-You both go.

-Are you sure?

Lasse?

Be careful.

You too.

Lasse?

Lasse?

Where have you been?

Up by the tent.

No one was there.

Where are the others?

Where do you think?

They went to call.

Lasse?

The log has been washed out.

They can't be out there now.

We shouldn't be here at all!

What is it with you?

You never stop and you never listen!

Sooner or later it will all go to hell!

Yes ...

If we survive this night,

we are never working together again.

No ...

Help!

Help!

Sara?

Sara!

Hey!

Come on, dammit!

Sara?

Are you there?

Per?

Good.

We should have stayed away

from that pond.

-It was their honeymoon.

-He was insane.

They wanted to find the pond -

- where his grandfather crashed

during the war.

The police think his wife

drowned in the cold water.

Right in front of him.

And he went insane.

When we entered the tent

and found her body, he snapped.

You saw it, didn't you, Per?

Something isn't right.
