468

00:
34:30,833 -- 00:34:31,749

Did he?

469

00:
34:53,958 -- 00:34:54,760

You shake your head.

470

00:
34:57,041 -- 00:34:59,124

Was it was here, in kindergarten?

471

00:
35:04,166 -- 00:35:07,374

Tell me what happened.

472

00:
35:10,291 -- 00:35:14,124

Grethe said you said

his penis was all hard.

473

00:
35:15,291 -- 00:35:18,624

His penis was quite hard?

474

00:
35:20,416 -- 00:35:22,915

I think so. I don't remember.

475

00:
35:24,083 -- 00:35:26,124

But he showed you his penis?

476

00:
35:34,333 -- 00:35:37,124

Does it bother you to talk about Lucas?

477

00:
35:48,625 -- 00:35:51,165

Because you don't like

what he did?

478

00:
35:56,208 -- 00:35:58,832

Klara, you're doing very well

479

00:
35:59,000 -- 00:36:01,707

answering my questions.

480

00:
36:02,958 -- 00:36:04,540

We're almost done.

481

00:
36:07,958 -- 00:36:09,249

What he did do

482

00:
36:10,166 -- 00:36:12,624

after he showed you his willy?

483

00:
36:13,291 -- 00:36:14,874

I don't know.

484

00:
36:17,375 -- 00:36:18,540

Did he touch you?

485

00:
36:25,166 -- 00:36:26,624

Do you remember?

486

00:
36:31,958 -- 00:36:34,082

Did something white come out?

487

00:
36:43,666 -- 00:36:45,707

Maybe that's enough for today.

488

00:
36:46,500 -- 00:36:48,082

You can go play now.

489

00:
36:50,041 -- 00:36:51,124

Can she...?

490

00:
36:51,291 -- 00:36:54,040

Yes, just keep an eye on her.

491

00:
37:01,791 -- 00:37:04,790

You and me, we know each other

492

00:
37:04,958 -- 00:37:06,624

which is a good thing.

493

00:
37:06,791 -- 00:37:08,790

But in this case,

494

00:
37:09,375 -- 00:37:11,915

this would be police business.

495

00:
37:12,208 -- 00:37:16,040

And we need the consent

of her parents, don't you agree?

496

00:
37:16,208 -- 00:37:18,082

Thank you for your help.

497

00:
37:18,333 -- 00:37:20,249

I still don't know how to do this.

498

00:
37:21,375 -- 00:37:24,165

Klara has a big imagination,

499

00:
37:26,833 -- 00:37:28,313

but in this case that's not the case.

500

00:
37:29,208 -- 00:37:31,915

No, it does not seem to be

the product of her imagination.

501

00:
37:33,500 -- 00:37:34,499

No.

502

00:
37:43,583 -- 00:37:47,790

Ole thinks

you must report this matter.

503

00:
37:48,500 -- 00:37:50,832

Get the authorities involved.

504

00:
37:56,041 -- 00:37:58,202

We should probably cancel

the parent's meeting tonight?

505

00:
37:58,250 -- 00:37:59,749

I don't think so.

506

00:
38:00,250 -- 00:38:03,290

We are obligated to

inform her parents.

507

00:
38:05,666 -- 00:38:07,040

Where's Klara?

508

00:
38:07,750 -- 00:38:10,415

I saw her playing in the yard.

509

00:
38:12,000 -- 00:38:13,124

Where's Lucas?

510

00:
38:15,041 -- 00:38:18,207

He is also playing out there.

511

00:
38:18,375 -- 00:38:20,082

Shouldn't we send him home?

512

00:
38:20,541 -- 00:38:21,665

Yes, I think we'd better.

513

00:
38:52,250 -- 00:38:54,332

- Hi, Grethe.

- Hi, Torsten.

514

00:
38:54,500 -- 00:38:55,707

- Torsten.

- Grethe.

515

00:
38:55,958 -- 00:38:58,165

We were off to the soccer game

when you called.

516

00:
38:58,333 -- 00:38:59,665

Sit down.

517

00:
38:59,833 -- 00:39:01,540

I thought we were to meet at seven?

518

00:
39:03,666 -- 00:39:04,749

Are you okay?

519

00:
39:05,333 -- 00:39:07,207

We need to talk about Klara.

520

00:
39:08,000 -- 00:39:10,749

It'd be better if Torsten waits outside.

521

00:
39:14,208 -- 00:39:17,749

Torsten, wake up. Go outside.

Go send some SMS messages.

522

00:
39:17,916 -- 00:39:19,316

I'll be out in a minute, all right?

523

00:
39:25,125 -- 00:39:27,165

What is it that the child's

done this time?

524

00:
39:29,375 -- 00:39:33,082

It's possible that something happened that

it's not normal between children and adults.

525

00:
39:33,250 -- 00:39:35,082

I'm really sorry.

526

00:
39:35,541 -- 00:39:38,540

I couldn't prevent it.

527

00:
39:39,916 -- 00:39:40,915

Klara has mentioned

528

00:
39:41,625 -- 00:39:43,832

a certain sexual conduct about an adult.

529

00:
39:45,666 -- 00:39:47,999

I doubt that children

would be capable of lying about it.

530

00:
39:51,000 -- 00:39:53,457

I don't understand.

531

00:
39:55,708 -- 00:39:57,290

What are you saying?

532

00:
39:57,916 -- 00:39:58,957

Apparently

533

00:
39:59,166 -- 00:40:02,999

Klara was a victim

of sexual abuse here.

534

00:
40:03,541 -- 00:40:06,665

Probably by somebody close

to your family.

535

00:
40:10,000 -- 00:40:11,499

Sexual abuse?

536

00:
40:11,666 -- 00:40:13,124

What she said...

537

00:
40:15,041 -- 00:40:18,790

It's probable she will deny everything

because she's ashamed.

538

00:
40:19,833 -- 00:40:20,707

But...

539

00:
40:24,666 -- 00:40:25,749

How?

540

00:
40:30,500 -- 00:40:32,374

We'll see how serious it is.

541

00:
40:38,125 -- 00:40:40,165

Hi! Here's the cake.

542

00:
40:43,875 -- 00:40:45,790

- Lactose free, yes?

- Yes...

543

00:
41:09,125 -- 00:41:10,749

Your attention, please.

544

00:
41:11,000 -- 00:41:13,957

There's a new item

in today's agenda.

545

00:
41:17,791 -- 00:41:19,874

We suspect there has been

indecent behavior going on

546

00:
41:20,958 -- 00:41:24,457

with the children.

547

00:
41:27,916 -- 00:41:30,249

Presumably

548

00:
41:30,416 -- 00:41:33,624

an adult has sexually abused

one of the children.

549

00:
41:34,458 -- 00:41:36,749

It is safe to assume

there could be more than one victim.

550

00:
41:43,500 -- 00:41:44,582

Be vigilant

551

00:
41:45,458 -- 00:41:48,665

and observe any possible symptoms.

552

00:
41:49,625 -- 00:41:53,249

Bed wetting, headaches, nightmares.

553

00:
41:53,791 -- 00:41:55,499

We will go into more details tonight.

554

00:
41:55,666 -- 00:41:57,426

I would ask you to please read this

pamphlet.

555

00:
42:00,875 -- 00:42:03,499

That's a very serious accusation.

556

00:
42:04,625 -- 00:42:07,124

Yes, we must not panic.

557

00:
42:07,291 -- 00:42:11,707

We are following strict procedures

about these matters.

558

00:
42:25,125 -- 00:42:26,415

Hi, Marcus.

559

00:
42:28,041 -- 00:42:29,040

Hello?

560

00:
42:33,583 -- 00:42:34,499

Dad?

561

00:
42:35,208 -- 00:42:36,457

Why are you whispering?

562

00:
42:39,250 -- 00:42:41,290

I have no right to call you.

563

00:
42:44,458 -- 00:42:46,374

Who told you that?

564

00:
42:47,291 -- 00:42:49,165

What happened?

565

00:
42:53,875 -- 00:42:55,082

Marcus, are you crying?

566

00:
42:57,500 -- 00:42:59,915

They say stuff about you.

567

00:
43:01,041 -- 00:43:03,124

I'm not allowed to talk to you.

568

00:
43:03,333 -- 00:43:04,415

Or to move in with you.

569

00:
43:04,583 -- 00:43:06,540

Who said that? Your mother?

570

00:
43:08,041 -- 00:43:13,124

They say some disgusting stuff

happened in kindergarten.

571

00:
43:18,000 -- 00:43:20,665

Don't listen to it, Marcus.

It's not true.

572

00:
43:23,125 -- 00:43:24,332

Who told you?

573

00:
43:25,416 -- 00:43:27,082

Grethe from kindergarten.

574

00:
43:31,833 -- 00:43:34,114
