Veronika

Veronika is always absent.

She started having nightmares.

I don't want the same thing to happen again.

Did they say how long she has to stay there?

- Possibly until Monday. - What?

That's completely normal.

Mom?

Mom?

Hi.

Do you have to go?

I just wanted to say bye.

Bye.

Simon...

Just let mommy rest a bit.

Where is Liv?

She's already waiting in the car.

- Bye. - Bye.

OSKAR LIDMAN, 9 YEARS OLD DRUNKEN IN RIVER

OCTOBER 16, 2017

What are you doing here?

I just grab my deodorant.

Are you going to Philip's party?

No idea, I think so.

No idea yet, depends on who comes.

Shall we go to the canteen?

Yes fine.

What are you doing?

Little bastard! You're still peeing your pants.

Gawd! Even in his shoe!

You just stand there to pee in your pants.

Act normal!

Stop! What are you two doing?

- Come with me! - He started! It was not...

We worked with chords and also with the base notes.

Plus four and plus three, makes the major.

And plus three and plus four precisely the minor key.

So, as in the example the base note D is...

We add, D, Es, E, F...

I have to record this.

Try it yourself, I'll be back.

Hello, this is Tomas.

Have you seen Klas?

Yes, he dated something get into the evidence room.

Class?

Can I ask something?

Of course, just say so.

I thought you had the day off?

Do you remember what exactly? happened to Oskar Lidman?

I was sick at the time and you had then taken over the investigation.

Yes, I remember that.

Very tragic, that boy was really unlucky.

He was on his way to a school friend.

It was the same route via the bridge over the river...

which he walked almost every day.

He slipped and fell down.

You know how strong the current is there. He didn't stand a chance.

Do they know how he fell in?

That's impossible to say.

Nine year old boys are not the world's smartest people.

Who knows what he did?

It doesn't matter much anymore.

Either way it was terrible.

TOMAS MISSED CALL

Hello, I'm sorry.

Hi.

Glad you could come, Veronika.

We know about your accident. I hope things are going better now.

Yes, just a little tired.

Well, we just got told what happened.

We understand that unpleasant...

when the toilet door is locked and that's why it happened, but...

I think we have one have a solution, right Simon?

So, what are you going to do next what time do you have to pee?

I ask a friend to keep watch.

Exactly, super easy.

I just don't know who should I ask?

But you know someone, right?

Isn't there a teacher or something?

Well, they probably didn't know that...

I'm sure one adult can guard the door...

when he needs to go to the toilet, right?

Simon, I think his we're done talking for today.

Dan and I would like to just talk to mom and dad alone.

Can you wait outside for a moment?

This is really not possible anymore.

What happened today is an accumulation...

of all incidents involving Simon.

And as for violence, we have there zero tolerance for this at this school.

He needs to be diagnosed...

- A diagnosis for...? -ADHD.

If Simon has indeed been diagnosed...

we can provide additional resources and provide support.

That would be very good for Simon.

Just because he's impulsive, could he have ADHD?

I understand that it is a lot to handle...

but my assessment is that he does have it.

Simon's behavior fits completely within that picture.

I am also a teacher. I know what the diagnosis means.

I do not think that he meets the criteria.

Today we're going to think I don't get much further.

I suggest you make it at home discuss and think about.

Come.

It's too easy.

Give him a diagnosis so he can... receives medication and can simply participate.

Then everything is fine?

I think it's good when they evaluate him.

Then he can get help.

That's what you fucking come up with now?

Okay, we want to see a good start. Prepare yourself.

Finished.

Come on.

Yes! Head.

Nice shot, well done.

Well done, keep your head in position.

Beautiful, Liv.

No do not bother, I've said it every time.

You are really that fast!

You really had a great lead!

Great that you are doing so well on the relay team.

- Thank you. - You're the youngest, right?

Yes, me and Tindra.

And yet you are almost faster than Agnes.

OK, listen...

You must not start too early.

Some of you did anyway.

Response time is crucial in the first 15 meters...

but I see way too many false starts.

Hey! Cut!

Jack, will you help me with the lines?

Sure, coach.

Well done today.

Liv?

Well done, but I know that you can do even better.

Listen...

You can become a winner.

You just have to stay focused.

Okay.

Well done.

Hello, we're here.

Simon, my Simon!

Hi there. Just give.

And I have the chessboard here.

Are you okay, Ninni?

Yes thank you.

Why can't you live with us?

Ninni has a nice place here, Simon.

Veronika, you look tired.

- Did something happen? - Yes, she hit her head.

Oh dear.

Your mother was very fond of chess when she was your age.

Veronika, you look tired.

Did something happen?

No, Ninni, everything is fine.

How are you doing by the way? Ann-Charlotte and Bengt?

Well, Mom's doing fine...

but daddy it's been a long time died, you know that.

But I just spoke to him...

Simon and I are leaving, not you. You live here.

Yes...

I'll see you again tomorrow.

- Goodbye, Simon. - Hello, Ninni.

Mom, why doesn't grandma ever come here?

I actually do not know.

- Hi. - Hello, Ivar.

But they are sisters.

OK, you see that rock there? Try to hit that one. A...

I don't know if that will work...

No, just try it.

You look like that again.

What do you mean?

Like when you want to talk about boring things.

And you don't want that?

Hey, buddy...

Just don't try it to attract what other people say.

Just ignore them and pretend they don't exist.

And...

Try not to get so angry.

Can't I go to your school? so we can be together?

That would be very nice...

but that is impossible.

I know. Let's continue.

Yes.

OK.

Pace, good.

Good night.

Good night.

It is...

It's like everything is up to me.

I take initiative for all practical matters...

and all the problems at home.

I've talked about it often.

We agree on things need to improve or change, but...

Well, Veronika is...

It's like nothing happens.

Veronika told me that you have a had a meeting with the school about Simon.

And that you now considering an ADHD evaluation?

- That's right? - That we're considering it?

We barely had a chance to discuss it...

but the school wants us to do it.

And who knows Simon best? The school, or ourselves?
