690

00:
51:47,666 -- 00:51:48,582

Agnes!

691

00:
51:51,458 -- 00:51:53,540

Come darling.

Come into the living room.

692

00:
51:57,291 -- 00:51:58,749

Is Dad mad?

693

00:
52:00,333 -- 00:52:02,457

No, he'll be all right,

694

00:
52:02,916 -- 00:52:04,040

you'll see.

695

00:
52:05,125 -- 00:52:07,457

Let's sit here and wake up.

696

00:
52:07,625 -- 00:52:10,374

Mommy, are you angry with Lucas?

697

00:
52:13,750 -- 00:52:15,832

Let's sit here a bit.

698

00:
52:17,125 -- 00:52:18,915

He has done nothing.

699

00:
52:19,083 -- 00:52:21,457

I said a silly thing, that's all.

700

00:
52:21,625 -- 00:52:24,290

Now all the children

talk about it.

701

00:
52:24,458 -- 00:52:26,332

It's not true.

702

00:
52:35,750 -- 00:52:37,082

Klara, sweetheart.

703

00:
52:39,666 -- 00:52:41,624

It's difficult to understand

704

00:
52:43,375 -- 00:52:45,207

but it can happen.

705

00:
52:46,791 -- 00:52:49,665

Your mind prefers to forget

what happened

706

00:
52:49,833 -- 00:52:52,124

because it's not nice to remember.

707

00:
52:53,500 -- 00:52:55,207

But it really happened.

708

00:
52:57,250 -- 00:53:00,624

And we are very glad

you told us.

709

00:
53:02,541 -- 00:53:03,665

Okay, darling?

710

00:
53:09,541 -- 00:53:10,332

Come!

711

00:
53:11,541 -- 00:53:13,082

We'll have cake.

712

00:
53:22,291 -- 00:53:25,374

Hi, Nadja.

Come in and sit down.

713

00:
53:35,166 -- 00:53:38,040

You probably already know.

714

00:
53:38,916 -- 00:53:41,749

We reported the incident to the police.

715

00:
53:44,416 -- 00:53:45,957

Should I speak English?

716

00:
53:46,125 -- 00:53:47,415

No, it's okay.

717

00:
53:48,541 -- 00:53:51,061

We have informed the parents

about the symptoms of sexual abuse,

718

00:
53:51,208 -- 00:53:52,749

and they have asked the children

719

00:
53:52,916 -- 00:53:55,915

if they're having nightmares...

720

00:
53:56,666 -- 00:53:58,124

Do you understand?

721

00:
54:00,125 -- 00:54:02,332

Several parents

722

00:
54:03,041 -- 00:54:04,832

have reported symptoms of abuse.

723

00:
54:05,375 -- 00:54:07,040

So we've taken action.

724

00:
54:08,083 -- 00:54:09,457

Why am I here?

725

00:
54:14,833 -- 00:54:17,915

Are you seeing Lucas?

726

00:
54:18,375 -- 00:54:19,457

Is Lucas your boyfriend?

727

00:
54:24,625 -- 00:54:26,540

I'll try to say it in English.

728

00:
54:26,833 -- 00:54:28,665

It is our duty

729

00:
54:28,833 -- 00:54:33,499

inform the authorities

about such matters,

730

00:
54:33,666 -- 00:54:35,624

in a very serious case like this.

731

00:
54:36,500 -- 00:54:38,374

OK. Why?

732

00:
54:39,500 -- 00:54:40,790

I don't think

733

00:
54:41,250 -- 00:54:42,874

anyone here

734

00:
54:43,416 -- 00:54:46,582

is any longer in doubt about what Lucas

735

00:
54:46,750 -- 00:54:47,832

has done.

736

00:
54:48,208 -- 00:54:51,040

Lucas has been going and

coming to kindergarten with Klara.

737

00:
54:51,500 -- 00:54:53,915

They were seen together.

738

00:
54:54,541 -- 00:54:57,082

He is left alone with the children.

739

00:
54:57,333 -- 00:54:59,457

In the bathroom and in the sleeping room.

740

00:
55:01,291 -- 00:55:03,707

Kirsten, it's me again.

Would you please call me?

741

00:
55:14,125 -- 00:55:15,207

She's not answering.

742

00:
55:16,041 -- 00:55:17,332

She needs more time.

743

00:
55:17,500 -- 00:55:18,874

I need to talk to Marcus.

744

00:
55:29,041 -- 00:55:30,481

What are they saying at

kindergarten?

745

00:
55:44,875 -- 00:55:45,582

Hi, Klara!

746

00:
55:47,000 -- 00:55:47,874

Hi...

747

00:
55:53,500 -- 00:55:54,665

What are you doing here?

748

00:
55:55,458 -- 00:55:58,332

Can I walk Fanny?

749

00:
56:00,041 -- 00:56:02,124

Yes, of course.

750

00:
56:05,083 -- 00:56:06,363

Does your Mom know you are here?

751

00:
56:13,166 -- 00:56:15,582

You should tell Mommy

before coming here.

752

00:
56:22,750 -- 00:56:25,499

They say you hurt me.

753

00:
56:39,041 -- 00:56:40,415

You think so?

754

00:
56:43,625 -- 00:56:46,874

I don't know,

I don't remember too much.

755

00:
56:54,750 -- 00:56:56,124

What did I do to you, sweetie?

756

00:
56:57,625 -- 00:57:00,415

I don't remember.

757

00:
57:01,291 -- 00:57:03,165

The others also.

758

00:
57:08,583 -- 00:57:09,707

Klara, what others

759

00:
57:13,916 -- 00:57:15,374

you speak of?

760

00:
57:16,708 -- 00:57:18,332

I'm scared...

761

00:
57:27,125 -- 00:57:28,415

Do you want to go home?

762

00:
57:32,125 -- 00:57:33,374

What about Fanny?

763

00:
57:35,166 -- 00:57:37,249

You can walk her some other time.

764

00:
57:39,625 -- 00:57:41,415

You'd better go home.

765

00:
58:01,125 -- 00:58:02,957

Lucas?

Did you touch that girl?

766

00:
58:05,750 -- 00:58:06,790

What?

767

00:
58:10,125 -- 00:58:12,332

You are not a sick person, are you?

768

00:
58:16,791 -- 00:58:18,124

Is that your opinion?

769

00:
58:25,083 -- 00:58:26,404

No... well... It's just that I...

770

00:
58:27,250 -- 00:58:28,957

I'm getting a...

771

00:
58:29,125 -- 00:58:30,707

confused.

772

00:
58:30,875 -- 00:58:31,540

How so?

773

00:
58:33,541 -- 00:58:34,862

Nothing, sorry,

It doesn't matter.

774

00:
58:40,083 -- 00:58:41,582

Do you think I'm sick?

775

00:
58:46,875 -- 00:58:48,040

Is that it?

776

00:
59:00,416 -- 00:59:02,790

Then get out. Take your things and go.

777

00:
59:03,208 -- 00:59:04,249

Hey, stop it.

778

00:
59:05,458 -- 00:59:07,707

I want you to go.

779

00:
59:14,125 -- 00:59:15,832

Come on, why are you doing this?

780

00:
59:16,416 -- 00:59:18,040

I abused a child.

781

00:
59:18,208 -- 00:59:20,082

Is that what you're trying

to say, you fool?

782

00:
59:22,666 -- 00:59:24,374

Away you go!

783

00:
59:24,666 -- 00:59:25,582

Out!

784

00:
59:35,208 -- 00:59:36,624

Look, Klara, it's snowing.

785

00:
59:39,166 -- 00:59:40,874

- Throw some on the elf.

- Yes.

786

00:
59:47,875 -- 00:59:48,749

He

787

00:
59:49,416 -- 00:59:52,332

should be on the lake.

788

00:
59:52,500 -- 00:59:53,540

That's true.

789

00:
59:54,333 -- 00:59:55,832

They are skating.

790

00:
59:57,875 -- 00:59:59,499

Where does he go?

791

01:
00:00,041 -- 01:00:01,374

You decide.

792

01:
00:02,583 -- 01:00:03,540

There.

793

01:
00:12,083 -- 01:00:13,624

He goes up.

794

01:
00:16,750 -- 01:00:19,249

That way, he can see everything.

795

01:
00:27,000 -- 01:00:30,207

Shouldn't he be with the others?

796

01:
00:32,083 -- 01:00:33,124

It's snowing!

797

01:
00:34,583 -- 01:00:36,624

You want to come see?

798

01:
00:36,791 -- 01:00:38,707

- I'm coming.

- Come on!

799

01:
00:39,666 -- 01:00:41,040

How beautiful it is!

800

01:
00:44,875 -- 01:00:46,332

Be careful. Don't catch cold.

801

01:
00:57,083 -- 01:00:57,627

DECEMBER:

802

01:
02:17,500 -- 01:02:18,374

What's wrong?

803

01:
02:21,125 -- 01:02:21,790

Marcus?

804

01:
02:24,500 -- 01:02:26,165

Is that you?

805

01:
02:27,208 -- 01:02:28,415

Sorry. Come in.

806

01:
02:29,500 -- 01:02:30,790

You scared me.
