[barn door rumbling]
[Charlotte] Jose?
Where the hell is she?
Kasper? What is all this?
What kind of animal?
I've got no idea.
I'm from the city. How should I know?
So when she wanted to stay home and read,
and the cut on her hand, those were lies?
Yes. No, Mom. Don't do that.
What What the hell is this?
Is it a cat?
- Who did this?
- [Kasper sighs]
Kasper!
The animal.
Jose wanted to help it, she thought
it was our fault because we hit it.
And if whatever it was
went back to the fence,
she probably followed it.
Mads, we have to get to there now.
What was it? And don't lie.
Was it an owl, bear cub, fox? What was it?
It was an elf.
An elf?
Liv says there are elves in the woods.
She said they're dangerous.
Good job, Kasper.
Great time to make a joke.
- [ominous music playing]
- [electricity buzzing]
[Mads] This doesn't look good.
No.
What are they hiding in there?
That's a massive fence.
[Charlotte] What did she say again?
A toxic site?
[Mads] You don't put a fence like this
around a toxic site. Doesn't make sense.
[Charlotte] Jose!
Jose!
I'm getting fed up with her. Where is she?
- [Kasper] Mom?
- We'll find her soon.
- Yeah?
- [Kasper] Her bike's over here.
Where did she go? Did she go inside?
Just look at.
It's electric with barbed wire. No.
You know her.
If she wants in, she'll get in.
I need to know if she's behind that fence.
We'll find her. Okay?
Kasper, head to Karen's
and tell her we need a key
to see if Josefine's inside, okay?
- On this thing?
- No, Kasper. Take the car.
Yes, that thing.
- We'll find her, honey.
- Yeah.
- Right?
- Yes.

[Charlotte] Mads.
[engine halts]
[Charlotte] Thank God you're here.
We need your help.
We think our daughter is in there,
we have to get in.
The gate's locked. And you can't be here.
Has it been locked all day?
Could she have snuck in?
Listen, our daughter
is quite the explorer
and always getting in trouble.
We're afraid she got in.
Our son thinks
she's trying to find some animal.
Hello!
- [Charlotte] We have to get inside.
- Turn around. Go back home.
We need to get past that fence.
To find our daughter!
[Møller] Get back to your house. Now!
Open that door. Now!
Okay, fine.
- I'll do it.
- This is nuts.
I can turn off the power here.
Then I'll climb that fence.
What the hell are you doing?
Mads, Mads!
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Don't shoot!
[music swells]
Hello? Anyone here?
Liv, we need your help.
Liv.
What now?
The fence.
We need the key. Jose is inside.
Why do you think that?
Well, she had
[panting]
She had the creature hidden in the barn.
I'm afraid she followed it into the woods.
[Karen] The woods are behind
a high-voltage fence,
the gate is locked. You can't get in.
[Kasper] Her bike was lying by the fence.
[Karen] Then she's probably hiding.
Grandma, can't we please help them?
Karen, what if she's in there?
Well, I guess she's stuck in there.
I can't do anything to help you.
[Kasper] Liv?
- I think you should leave now.
- But Karen
We really need your help.
This is crazy.
Grandma, she's just a little girl.
She's old enough to deal
with the consequences of her actions.

Come.
She won't hurt you. It's just my mom.

- Come on.
Mom, hey. Here!
Over here, Mom!
- Josefine!
- Come on.
This way.
She's not dangerous. She won't hurt you.

everywhere for you.
We were so worried. Where have you been?
[Kee-ko screeches]
- [ominous music playing]
- Ah!
What's that? What is that?
- What the hell is that? Go away!
