[answering machine beeps]
[Lejla] Valter, where are you?
I need to talk to you about Tomas
and your mother.
[beeps]
[heartbeat pulses]
[sighs]
[buzzes]
Tomas?
Tomas?
Valter?
Hi.
Where is Valter?
I don't know.
Didn't he stay here last night?
He must have gone.
Gone where?
-He's not answering.
-The station? Home?
I haven't a clue.
Do you want a cup of tea?
[water bubbles intensely]
I suppose that… [sighs]
…Valter told you what went on.
Why did you stay
at Daniela's campsite, spring 2001?
For Mum's funeral.
I wasn't welcome in the house.
Why was that?
My dad.
He was how he was.
And Mum was how she was.
Which was?
Cowardly.
Pretended not to see
or hear a thing when Dad started.
[mobile phone ringing]
[sighs]
Björn?
[heartbeat pulses]
[Tomas] She's here.
All right. Can you calm down?
I said she's here.
He slept here last night, apparently.
The sta… What about the station?
[tense music rises]
-See that?
-[dance music playing]
-[music halts]
-[Tomas] Call him, then.
[sighs]
So, how come you wanted to,
uh, talk about that?
Lejla?
[tense music pulses]
[breathes heavily]
THE GLASS DOME
-[music fades]
-[heartbeat pulses]
Valter?
Hello?
[dial tone beeps]
You've reached Said Kamran
at Svea Vanadium.
-Please leave me a message.
-[beeping]
Hey. Hi. I wanted to speak to you.
Uh, ring me as soon as you can.
I have Louise's mobile.
Say absolutely nothing
to Tomas or the police.
Okay?
[mobile phone pings]
[man] Alicia!
[woman] Alicia!
Alicia!
[car approaching]
[door closes]
-[Lejla gasps]
-[suspenseful music playing]
[handle rattles persistently]
[key clicking]
Lejla… we need to talk.
Listen…
Lejla!
[heartbeat pulsing]
[silence falls]
[suspenseful music pulses]
-Lejla!
-[gasps]
[mobile phone ringing]
[breathes heavily]
Fuck!
[breathes heavily]
[dial tone rings]
[operator] Which emergency service
do you need?
[whispering] Help me. Help me.
-Which service? What's the emergency?
-Send the police to…
[muffled shouts, grunting]
Where are you calling from?
-[muffled cries]
-Can you hear me?
Are you still there? Hello?
Hello?
[ominous music rises]
[music stops]
[Kristina] Here. [sighs]
You need to eat.
Ha. Thanks.
Who called you before?
Lejla.
-What did she want?
-I don't know.
I'll check.
[automated voice]
You have one new message.
[Lejla] Hi, I wanted to speak to you.
Uh, ring me as soon as you can.
I have Louise's mobile.
Say absolutely nothing
to Tomas or the police.
Okay?
[groans]
[disorienting music playing]
No.
[groans]
No!
[cries] No!
[breathing heavily]
I guarded you while you were asleep.
[exhales deeply]
[anxiously] Ah…
[music becomes poignant]
[groans]
[exclaims emotionally]
[mobile phone ringing]
Yeah, what is it?
[Jorun] Where are you?
[Tomas] Why?
Said is here.
There's something he wants to talk about.
Okay.
Now, Tomas.
I'm on my way.
[music stops]
[breathing heavily]
I don't want to be here.
I want to be with Daddy and Mummy.
Don't be scared.
I'm going to get us out of here, okay?
Are you cold?
Mm.
[clattering]
[tense music playing]
[Alicia] Is that Mum's phone?
Alicia, do you know the code?
Mm-hmm. But why have you got it?
[phone chimes]
LOW BATTERY
Okay. That's great.
Thanks.
[tense music pulses]
[mobile phone rings]
[dial tone rings]
[mobile phone continues ringing]
Come on. Come on.
-Valter Ness.
-It's Lejla, I'm trapped.
[distorted] I'm with Alicia.
It's Tomas! It's Tomas!
Hello?
Lejla? Lejla?
-Hello?
-[battery dies]
[end call tone beeps]
[music fades]
[exhales slowly]
Hi, I really need to
ask you about something…
Wait there. Where's Jorun?
-In your office.
-Okay.
Hi, Tomas. Did you speak with Lejla?
Said received a very worrying
message from her.
She says that she has Louise's phone,
and that Said shouldn't talk to us.
Specifically not to you, Tomas.
Now I've found out
that you and Louise had an affair.
Can you explain to me
what the hell is going on here, Tomas?
Tomas, we have to be able
to talk about this.
I care about you.
No matter what's happened,
I hope you're okay.
What the hell is going on here?
[inhales deeply] You know
that Valter is a policeman?
He has lots of tricks to find people.
He can look at the number
we called him from,
and see on a map where we are.
All right?
You know,
Alicia, when I was little like you,
I was locked inside here too.
What?
Was it Valter who saved you?
Yeah, it was, in a way.
Come here.
[poignant music playing]
-[music becomes tense]
-[sighs]
[lights click on intensely]
[door unlocks, opens]
I understand you.
I understand that you are…
you're destroyed.
And coming back here must have
brought back so much trauma
from when you were small.
From your father.
From your mother.
I'm not her, though.
'Cause we're friends.
Aren't we? You know we are.
We can keep being friends outside of here.
I can help, I can.
I can do that.
I can make your pain go away.
I'll show you how.
Let Alicia go back home.
Tomas.
Tomas.
[lights click on intensely]
[suspenseful music rises]
[Valter] Give it to me.
Alicia.
The phone.
There.
Who did Lejla call with this?
-You.
-Only me?
-Come on.
-No!
And you, you go sit in that corner there.
Over there.
[taps on glass]
Lejla.
-Good.
-[bolt scrapes]
[lock clicks]
THE DWARF
[lock clicks]
See how she looks like
a butterfly in there?
A moth.
Lejla means "night".
Now you know.
Come on. Sit down over here.
There.
Can't Lejla come out?
[Valter] Your hair…
so pretty.
Valter?
Leave her alone, please.
Don't be afraid, Alicia.
I'm here.
-Can I go home now?
-To Mummy?
Tell you what, we'll arrange it.
But we'll have to play a game first.
You get something from me,
and I get something from you.
Does that sound fun?
Do you know what I want, though?
A tuft of your hair.
Do you know who else really likes hair?
Trout.
Mm.
I make tiny fishing flies
from hair for the trout.
[distortion]
When I use them to fish,
it goes snap, just like that.
And the fish bites right away.
[reel whirring]
But it's better if the hair…
is long… and pretty.
[Lejla bangs on glass]
And my old man hair
just doesn't work. [giggles]
Now then, I need you
to sit completely still,
so that I won't hurt you.
[Lejla bangs on glass]
[music builds, fades]
[heartbeat pulses]
Let's finish the book first.
[heart rate increases]
[Valter screams]
Lejla!
[banging]
[Valter] Lejla!
[music becomes hopeful]
[Valter] Lejla!
[young Lejla pants]
Look here.
So pretty.
Now can I go home to Daddy and Mummy?
Soon.
[Alicia] Where are you going?
[Valter] Come here.
Stay here, completely still and quiet,
until I come back.
And no speaking to Lejla.
[Alicia] No speaking to Lejla.
And don't even look at Lejla.
Don't look at Lejla.
Do you know why?
Because Lejla can't be trusted.
Lejla can't be trusted.
Right.
[door locks]
Alicia?
Alicia?
Alicia?
[vehicle approaching]
[Valter]Good morning.
So, you got out of bed?
Is Lejla back yet?
-Yeah. She's resting.
-I just need to talk to her.
Tomas, she's not well.
-But I need to talk to her.
-What is it that could be so important?
I kept Louise's mobile at mine.
And I think Leila took it this morning.
[sighs] I need to sort this out.
I've just made a…
I keep messing everything up.
Tomas?
As her father,
I'll handle it.
[Valter ascends stairs]
Has the coffee just brewed?
[sinister music plays]
[Lejla] Valter is very, very sick.
He's done it before,
and he shouldn't be doing it.
[music fades]
Valter is an expert at lying to us.
He's been lying to me
for many, many, many years.
And I totally believed him.
[poignant music playing]
But we need to trust each other now.
So we can all go to our homes.
To my dad and my mum?
Mm.
Yeah.
-See the lock there?
-Yeah.
Try 2-0-0-2.
[footsteps approach]
Get rid of this.
Deny that you ever had it.
And it's over.
I'm turning it in to Jorun.
[sighs] You do that…
that's the end of your career.
What did she say?
Nothing.
[inhales] I think the best thing
would be to, uh,
book her on a flight to…
back to the US, so…
Well, so she's out of here… ASAP.
Can you tell her to call me
when she's up and about?
[clicks tongue] All right.
[pensive music playing]
[door closes]
-[tapping on glass]
-[Lejla] Quickly!
[frustrated] It's not working!
Okay. Alicia. Alicia?
It's not working.
We'll forget the lock for now.
[lock rattling]
I want you to hide for me.
[creaking]
I'll call him over here,
and you have to creep out,
lock the door from the outside,
and sprint as fast… as fast as you can.
[thud]
[footsteps approaching]
Now. Go, go, now!
Do it, Alicia. He's coming! Go!
You've got me, so you can let her go.
[Valter] Stand still now, Alicia,
and you'll be with your mummy very soon.
Let me have her in here, then.
[Valter] I don't want her here.
She served her purpose.
Why are you doing this… Daddy?
[Valter] You're the expert.
Aha!
There.
That fire…
in your eyes.
[flames crackling]
Here's my baby girl.
It's cold. You should come inside.
No, Mummy. I'm okay.
-Are you sure?
-Yep.
[Valter] That fire.
I saw it straight away.
You were different from all of the rest.
Remember what you promised?
You fascinated me.
In a way I had never experienced before.
[suspenseful music playing]
Hello! Mum?
[muffled gasp]
When you saw your chance
to be free, you took it.
Of course.
That's who you are.
You know?
Then you became mine.
[young Lejla sobs]
For real.
You got a dad
who took the best care of you
in every way I could.
No one can take that away from me.
When I had you, I needed nothing else.
Now you're here.
Again.
You are my Lejla.
It's us two.
Forever.
Only, now I can't let you go.
But you understand that.
Alicia, come here.
[tense music pulses]
[panting]
Lejla?
Lejla?
[music intensifies]
Jorun, send reinforcements
to Valter's right now.
[music recedes]
[Lejla] Leave her alone. Please.
I'm begging you.
[Valter] You sound just like your mother.
And Louise.
Difficult.
[sharp distortion]
So…
No!
No!
No!
-Leave her alone!
-[banging on glass]
No! No, no!
No, no!
[Alicia struggling]
Leave her alone!
Get your hands off her!
[Lejla sighs]
[sighs]
Stop that!
[gasping, groans]
What have you done?
Ah, Tomas.
Mummy's little girl.
[Tomas] Valter, what the hell?
-Tomas, you need to help me now.
-Stay back.
[Valter] Shoot me.
Here.
[Tomas] No, Valter.
[Valter] Good.
Keep your aim right there.
And then press the trigger
slowly and carefully,
and everything will be just fine.
[Tomas] No! Va… Valter…
It's all okay.
[tense music rises]
[sirens wailing]
[Jorun] Tomas!
[gunshots firing]
[music fades]
[poignant music playing]
[Said] Alicia!
[Alicia] Daddy.
Oh, my darling.
My little girl.
Here. Here. Here, sweetie.
[Kristina sobs]
-[Alicia] Where's Mummy?
-[Said] Darling…
[Said continues indistinctly]
[music fades]
-[door slams]
-[keys jingle]
-[guard] Through security there.
-Thanks.
Your bag.
[sighs]
[door opens]
[heartbeat pulses]
[door closes]
[radio beeping]
I want you to tell me
where we can find the other girls.
They deserve to come home.
You know…
It doesn't matter
which one of us is behind glass.
That's because you are always… in here.
And I'll always be…
Remember when you fell in the river?
I was so afraid it would take you.
Our favourite spot.
Our river.
My river.
Hmm.
[door opens]
[door closes]
[exhales deeply]
[camera shutter clicks]
[tense pulsing music playing]
[breathes deeply]
[tense pulsing music continues]
[music fades]
