"As soon as they arrive in Sweden, stories begin to surface about widespread abuse by the people surrounding Hellström, who appear to control the majority share of the local music industry and infrastructure. Trask and Hecht decide to avoid covering the corruption in their documentary out of fear for their subjects' safety, but promise their sources that they will connect them with US journalists to help give a platform to the issues raised. However, by late July 2016, stories of rampant sexual abuse begin to come to the filmmakers' attention. Simultaneous to this, Berggren informs them that his management is considering signing him to the same label from which these accusations are stemming: Woah Dad."

"Lindqvist's husband, Joel Alme, who is also a member of Berggren's live band, threatens Berggren to "silence those broads" or he will "spare no gun powder to lower them in the media." Berggren sends a barrage of hysterical messages to the filmmakers. The filmmakers tell Lindqvist to stop harassing Berggren."

Borg, Hellström, Sillren, Lindqvust and Lindquvist's husband, Joel Alme, begin to threaten Berggren re: Magasinet Filter article.
"The premiere is followed by an afterparty at which Agent Blå plays and photography by Martin Norberg is displayed. The mood of the evening, however, is tense. Berggren, who is supposed to play a surprise set with Jensen, is sequestered upstairs in the party venue on a cot, heavily-medicated and unable to function. Throughout the Trask and Hecht are verbally assaulted by multiple individuals and Trask is physically groped by an unknown male; as a result, the two women end up joining Berggren upstairs for remainder of the evening."
"Trask and Hecht also begin to receive threats on their social media calling them "stupid cunts" who should "stay out of Sweden."
"The filmmakers begin by revisiting their files on Anders Gothberg, the former guitarist of Broder Daniel who had committed suicide in 2008, resulting in Berggren ending the band. Since the inception of I'll Be Gone, Trask and Hecht had set the intention not to focus on the death as the spirit of the project was to avoid exploitation of sensational and scandalous topics. However, throughout the making of the film, information was brought to the filmmakers' attention that could not be ignored, compelling them to build a file on the case. In August 2016, the documentary production had pulled the official police reports on Gothberg's death but received the report heavily-redacted. Although the media coverage of the death had been vague and biased, Trask and Hecht are ultimately able to create a timeline of the night by triangulating media accounts with the police report and find that the inconsistencies appear to be in order to distract from two simple questions: Who was in attendance of the party that night? And what happened that prompted Gothberg to jump from Västerbron?
The filmmakers begin to track the ways and means the information about Gothberg's death was reported to the public. The filmmakers identify Swedish publications and journalists connected to a group who call themselves "Elit List," a group of people who hold influential positions in Swedish society and use blackmail and coordination to control various aspects of Swedish industry, culture, and economy."
"Berggren's health, which had been poor since the inception of the film, had been declining since the completion of his 2017 "comeback" tour and had never recovered. Due to an instability in interest rates in Sweden, his family is now in danger of losing the home in which Berggren resides. To make matters worse, his former management is making it impossible for him to generate income unless he agrees to play a show with Hellström, which Berggren repeatedly refuses."
