BLACK LAKE
Episode 1

- Hi, Dad.
- Hi.

- I'm glad we could meet before you go.
- Yes, definitely. It's great.

Why don't you choose the wine?
We're having gravadlax.

Let's have... Chardonnay.
A glass?

- What would you like to drink?
- We'll have the Riesling.

Thank you.

You know that I've made a deal
with Favera Invest.

I want them under our umbrella.

Yes, that's a great idea.
That will bring in...



- Thanks. That will bring in Asia, too.
- This is unknown territory for us.

So this deal is crucial.

You've shown ambition
at business school.

Now's your chance.

I've booked a meeting tomorrow
with Holger Jarnheim in Sandhamn.

I want you to handle it.

You'll be sailing anyway.

Yes... yes.

- You have doubts, Johan?
- No, no. I was just...

I was just surprised. Of course,
it sounds like the chance of a lifetime.

Good!

I'll e-mail you the project description,
documentation and a proposed contract.

- Now make sure you're well prepared.
- Right.

- Cheers!
- Cheers!



Mummy will be fine.

- Did you get my text?
- No.

Dad's booked me a meeting tomorrow.
What the hell do I do?

- Lousy timing.
- He thinks we're going sailing.

- How will I get to Sandhamn?
- There must be a boat you can take.

I'll look into my options when
I get there. Hey, remember...

- You can't tell anyone where I'm going.
- No, don't worry.

I have to do this bloody thing and
get the certificate. I'll be in touch.

Hello, hello.
Hello and welcome, everyone.

My name is Agnes
and I'm Uno's assistant.

I'm here to help out
while you're here on the island.

I see a familiar face. Hi, Oscar.

Good to see you.

- And you're Vincent, right?
- Yes. Hi.

- And Minnie.
- Hi.

And you're Johan, right?

How often does this ferry go back?

It only runs if you've booked it
a week or so in advance.

- So there's no other way to get away?
- No, that would be hard. Why?

Anyway, we have a few rules here.
No drugs, no smoking.

And as you know, Oscar, everyone
has to give me their mobile phones.

We want you to focus fully on your
therapy and on being here on the island.

Here and now. Thank you.

Hang on, I'm just switching it off.

I didn't bring a phone.

I thought we'd only
have to hand them over, so...

- And you want me to believe that?
- Yeah.

- You want to look in my bag?
- No, that's fine.

Well... It's on you if you're lying.

This way.

- Hi! Did everything go well?
- Yes, fine. You?

Hi, Oscar.

This is Bella. She used to work here,
but this year she's a participant.

Let's go inside.

See you later.

The rules here are pretty simple.

Not a sound after 10 pm,
and everyone sleeps in their own room.

No one leaves the island
during your stay here.

Not unless you're taken seriously ill.

- Showers and dishwashing outdoors.
- You're kidding...

No, I'm not kidding.
We do it to make use of the rain water.

The shower station is just outside.
And please use the water sparingly.

- When do we get to meet Uno?
- He'll be along a bit later.

You can get to know me and the island
in the meantime. And Gittan.

- Who is Gittan?
- She is the island, you might say.

- Here's your key.
- Thank you.

No, not that room. That room isn't used.
This one is yours.

Here's your PDF!
Hope the meeting goes well.

- Have you sorted it?
- No ferries. Looking for another boat.

I can reschedule, but NO LATER than
Thursday or we'll find a new partner.

God damn it!

Hi.

- How do you like the room?
- Fine.

We'll have an evening snack
in fifteen minutes.

We agreed that we wouldn't talk about
what happened last year.

Good.

- What's that Uno like, anyway?
- He's good. Does things his own way.

- Where did you get off to?
- What? Just playing boy scout.

Hi, Gittan.
Everyone, this is Gittan.

She's in charge of all the food here,
so you'd best stay on her good side.

Hi.

- How long has Gittan lived here?
- She was born here.

So she knows everything about
the island and what happens here.

This island has seen a lot of evil.
People disappear. Always have.

Kallskär is Stockholm's dumping ground
for undesirables.

Cholera patients in the 19th century.
Baltic refugees during the war.

Problem children in the 70s.

And now you're here.

A bloody mess, it's been.

No rest for the missing on this island.

What do you mean "the missing"?

The island gives and the island takes.

Well, isn't that exciting. We'll just
see who disappears this year, then.

- Wow, talk about a festival mood!
- This is our last participant, Amina.

- Hi, Amina.
- Hi, Bella. Hi.

How did you get here?

I apologise for being late. I had
a house showing, I couldn't get away.

My friend Jorge brought me
in his racing boat. Bit cold.

- Nice to see you!
- Nice to see you too.

- Hey, what's he doing here?
- He's a participant again this year.

Get yourself sorted now.
We've got our fingers crossed for you.

Mummy!

There's someone calling for help out
there. I heard someone call for help.

- Come on. Someone needs help.
- Where?

I think it came from over there.

- Are you sure?
- Not completely, but I think so.

Over here?

- It came from the well?
- Are you sure?

- I don't hear anything.
- Mummy!

- Something's moving down there.
- Someone has to check.

Help!

- Isabell.
- No, I don't dare, you go!

- I'll go.
- You will?

- Yes.
- Right. You take this...

- Here, take this.
- Okay. I have to...

- I'll lower you down.
- You've got this, come on.

Are you all right? Wait, wait.

I'm letting out a bit more line.

A bit more line now.

- Don't let go of the crank.
- Hold on.

- I'm holding on.
- Good, Minnie. Careful.

How's it going, Minnie?

Do you see anything?

- There's something here.
- Is anyone there?

- We're coming, we'll get some rope.
- Here, grab this.

Minnie!

- Minnie?
- What are you doing?!

There is something down there...

Help!

- There's something in the water.
- Can you be quiet?

- It's not real. I'm real, it's not.
- Minnie!

Put the rope around your waist.

- Are you ready?
- Okay.

Good!

Hold on tight now.

- Good.
- Hold on.

- I've got her, I've got her.
- Good, good.

There, we've got you.

- We've got you.
- That was great. You're so brave!

What's that? Some kind of bag?

- What did you see?
- Are you okay?

I don't understand...
Where is she, where's the little girl?

What little girl?

Help me! Help! Help!

Welcome to Kallskär.

This has been a teamwork exercise
under pressure.

Did you think that was going to be fun?

No, not at all.

This is going to be a rough two weeks.

You're probably going to hate me,

but I hope you'll love me
a little bit too.

We're embarking
on a long journey together.

The goal is insight and reconciliation.

Let's go in and get warm.

Are you all right?

Get her inside.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Shall we go, boys?

You are all here because you want
to make a change in your life.

That's courageous.

Last night at the well,

you worked together to save someone
who might have been in danger.

And I want you to ask yourselves:

"Did I do everything I could?"

Because you are here
to save yourselves.

- Hi, Amina.
- Hi, Uno.

Hi. Why are you here this year?

I ruin all my relationships.
But you already know that.

Yes.

Oscar, you've been here before too.

What's your goal now?

This year I'm going to learn to dare to
trust new people I don't know and so on.

That's very good. Good.

Bella, welcome!

This is your first time here
as a participant.

What do you want to change?

I have a lot of grief I can't let go of.

So I'd like to...

...learn not to think about it,
to stop dwelling on the past.

We'll untie those knots together.

Vincent, welcome.

Why are you here?

I just got out of prison. Two years.

Did you escape?

No, I served my time.

Okay. Good.
What are you going to do here?

Perhaps you don't know yet.

In that case, we'll work it out
together. I mean that.

Okay.

- Welcome, Johan.
- Thank you.

- Is it my turn?
- Yes.

I don't have
one of these sob stories.

I did coke at a party
and the cops showed up.

And I thought
this must be better than prison.

We'll just take "better than prison"
as a compliment.

I think so.

But as I understand it...

you need a passing grade from me to
continue with your university studies.

- Yup. Pretty much.
- Right. Good.

We'll sort it. That's good.

Hi, Minnie.

You don't want to talk?

Preferably not in front of everyone.

You're really going to have to learn to.

We share everything here.

And bring all the hurt out
into the open.

I'm here because I want
custody of my daughter again.

Are you prepared to fight for it?

Yes.

Then you need
to keep challenging yourself.

You did that last night.

You went down in that well
despite your fear.

Who was down there?

Who was down there?

That applies to all of you.

Who were you
trying to rescue in that well?

We're going to build a bivouac.
Co-operation is the keyword here.

The bivouac is to be watertight and...

- Am I the only one who's hungry?
- No, I'm hungry too.

You'll eat when you're done.

Vincent, take this.
It's a good starting point.

Ready? Let's do this!

Come on. This is going to be fun.

I'll look up there.
I think there are good sticks up there.

- Hi, Bella.
- Hi.

- Here. Take this.
- Where's he going?

Dad's PISSED OFF that you
rescheduled! You have to call him...

I'll handle it.

Say, Gittan, you must use some kind
of boat when you go for supplies?

I thought maybe I could go along
and help next time.

You can't leave the island.

What if I make it worth your while,
could I borrow it then?

- Hi.
- You left us.

Yes, I got kind of tired...
I needed to rest.

Maybe that wasn't okay?

- Were the rules not made clear?
- I think the rules are a bit fuzzy.

- Fuzzy?
- Yeah.

Okay...

You want me to explain them to you?

Please do.

I'll keep this...

And this.

You'll get them back
when you go home.

There has to be
a better way to resolve this.

Do you have a suggestion?

Fine, what will it cost me
to get my computer back?

I'm sure we can work
something out.

So...

- Are you happy at business school?
- Yeah.

- It's a good programme.
- Okay.

So what do you think about prison?

- It doesn't sound good at all.
- I didn't think you'd be keen on it.

So what do you say
to following my rules from now on?

- Hi.
- Hi.

My daughter loves Pippi.

What did Gittan mean
about people disappearing here?

She just wants to scare you.

You made the right choice coming here.

I was in really,
really bad shape before.

And I came here
without any real hope at all.

But Uno saved me.

From what?

To Maja

So, Amina, are you seeing anyone?

No.

I ruin all my relationships.

That's why I'm here.

Or maybe you just date
the wrong kind of guys.

Or I sleep with their friends.

And their friends.

What about you?
Are you seeing anyone?

Not at the moment.

Must've been hard in prison...

- Hi.
- Hi.

- What do you want?
- Oh, nothing special, really.

So...

Oh, I haven't seen
a phone like that in ages.

Yeah. That's our emergency phone.

You can't exactly trust
the mobile network here.

Say, I don't suppose
that's something I could borrow, is it?

No, it's not something you can borrow.

No...

- Anything else? I need to work.
- No.

Okay.

Why...

What are you doing?

Why did you say there was a child
in the well? You said that.

I don't know.

- But you said it...
- Just drop it!

Gittan didn't tell you everything
about the island. Last year...

Hello?

Hands off!

Right.

I'm sorry, I...

I... Sorry.
