Who is having a birthday?
Who is the one thinking of his friends?
-This is a memorable day. -What have we here?
One year from now I'll be swimming in this stuff.
Consider this an advancement on my inheritance.
You too.
Don't just stand there staring with your mouth open.
-What's she doing here? -You know each other?
What's she doing here?
Have you told them your name is Asbjorn?
Are you stupid?
I don't want your money.
Hans!
Get into the pool.
-Hans! -Get into the water!
Breathe!
Can you hear me? Hans!
Lift his head.
Look at me!
Make him breathe! Look at me!
God dammit, come on!
Keep going.
-Hello? -It's mom. Can you please come?
I don't know what's happened, but I can't find ...
-What is it? -I've lost something.
-Calm down. -Can you come over here?
I'm coming.
Please hurry. Have you seen Siren?
I haven't found her.
What's going on?
She has lost a morphine capsule and can't get out of bed.
When will you be back?
I have no idea.
The girl you can't find, Siren ...
You hardly ever talk about her. Why?
She dropped out at the age of 14-15.
What is there to say?
Bad company, drugs and everything that goes with it. All the cliches.
-Heroine? -In the end, yes.
She tried just about everything.
She ran away from home at the age of 15.
We tried to find her for many years.
Then she turned 18.
We couldn't bare to see how she made a living.
Now mom is dying. I'm there every day.
And all she ever talks about is Siren.
I'm just the one who can't find her little sister.
Sometimes I feel it's all my fault.
Mom, I'm here.
Where is it?
On the floor somewhere. I can't find it. Just hurry.
There. I'll start pumping.
Soon you'll feel better.
This can't go on.
Have you tried ...?
Yes. You know I have. But I can't find her.
Maybe they know something at work. Social services should know.
I have tried, mom.
She must come before it's too late.
-Is that Siren? -Yes.
I'll find her.
Hey.
Hamre?
-Wait! -Please come during office hours.
-This is illegal. -Can you check if anyone has seen her?
Every time you look for someone, they turn up in a body bag.
It's a talent I have. Please check at the station if anyone has seen her?
-Has she been reported missing? -No.
Then tell the family to report her missing.
-No time. The mother is dying. -Everything takes time.
Even for us who don't charge 1000 NOK per hour. Report her missing.
Dragan, how are you?
Listen, can you check something for me? It's a girl I'm looking for ...
No, it's a family matter.
Probably on heroine. Siren. Siren Bjorge.
I have some photos of her ...
You know who to call. It's the same number. It's the easiest ...
Hi. I rang the bell, but I don't think you heard me. I'm Alexander Latoor.
Are you Veum?
Looking for her?
A mother who is dying ... One has to respect that.
You know Siren from ...?
University. The student dorm. We were neighbors and friends.
She told me she was a student.
Was? Where is she now?
At the Hotel Berner. She is a prostitute.
-You've seen her there? When? -Last week.
-Unconscious, behind the hotel. -Overdose?
-What were you doing at the hotel? -Work.
I work in the kitchen with rest of the ... Niggers.
Did you call an ambulance?
No. I called Berner.
Carl Berner. He's the owner of the hotel.
I told him Siren needed care. He just locked her in a room.
Everyone knows there are hookers there. But Siren ...
I told him she needed help. He offered me money, told me to forget about it.
I said: "No. Siren must go to a hospital, right now!"
He flipped, called me "nigger", "troublemaker". Then they let me go.
-They? -Carl Berner and his "pit-bull", -
- Harry Helgesen.
-Why didn't you go to the police? -You don't know Berner.
Berner would tell the police I gave Siren the drugs.
-Now you are here? -Yes.
I think you can do better than the police. You can get the cocksucker.
Where is she?
Come. I know which room she is in.
I went by my office.
I found two Berners here. Carl, the owner, and his little brother, Henrik.
We just saw him. Supposedly he is brain-injured. Carl is his guardian.
-Brain-damaged? He has a license. -To drive a moped, yes.
You could get fired for this.
It's going to be all right.
I can't believe this.
Here it is.
Siren, it's Karin. Open up!
Can you hear me?
Varg?
Carl Berner.
The big guy is Harry. Harry Helgesen.
He does look like a pit-bull.
I think he looks more like a moose.
I'll call you back.
Varg!
We have to get out of here.
Let me go.
Come on!
It's OK!
You drive.
Go!
Stop, dammit!
Hey!
-Who are they? -They took her. They took Siren.
Did they say anything?
It's going to be all right, Henrik.
I have to get back.
I want to help you.
You can get help.
What? Do you want to save me now?
Who is he?
-He is a good friend. -A good friend ...
Mom has cancer.
She doesn't have much time left.
-Thanks for the coffee. -All she talks about is you, Siren.
She only has a few days left.
You are the only one she wants to see.
So you're not good enough either?
Sorry, sis'. You'll have to live with it.
-I'll report the hotel. -Don't you dare!
Do you know what that means? They'll throw me out.
You want me to stay here and sleep on your couch?
They are the only ones who care.
The only ones who are there for me.
Don't ruin that too.
-I know I haven't been there for you. -No, you haven't.
Can you go see mom?
Will you leave me alone then?
Mom? Look who I brought.
There you are. My baby. Come.
Look.
Take two.
Back to Hotel Berner?
Cut it out. Can't you just drive me to the hotel?
She's so pathetic! Living there with her miserable job.
Throw away that cigarette.
I'm buying a flat. In town, not in the outskirts. Who wants to live there?
Are you buying a flat? Flats are expensive. You have expensive habits.
You don't know shit about me.
Cut it out!
Want a blow job? NOK 500. You can think about me when you fuck Karin.
Get out!
Get lost!
You were supposed to drive me to the hotel.
Beat it! Get out!
You were supposed to drive me to the hotel.
Fuck off!
Siren!
Are you ready?
You can go.
You found her in the end. In a body bag ...
-How old was she? -Around 30.
Are you OK?
No, not really.
-Is it OK? -Yes.
-Let's go. -Can I drive?
-You're sure it wasn't an accident? -It speeded up. It was an execution.
A Mercedes with tinted windows.
Are you ready for a good old-fashioned house raid?
-Where? -Hotel Berner.
Hotel Berner? What do you know about the Hotel Berner?
This happens to me at ATMs all the time.
Who stayed here last?
Knut Kristiansen, three days ago. It's a suite, so it's seldom used.
Cleaned up already, I see?
You were supposed to wait outside.
I can assure you this is a respectable hotel.
Hotel, catering ...? How long have you been the owner?
-Since 2006. -Who had it before you?
Brynestad.
Fire!
Bring your fat whore with you and get out. Fire!
You too! Are you deaf?.
Veum, hold it.
You know he is lying!
Why does it always have to end this way with us? Is it some law of nature?
You know he's lying.
Get him out of here.
Fire!
My apologies. He's a freelancer.
Enjoy your breakfast.
It's not illegal to be a prostitute, or to serve them or lodge them.
Unless you get a percentage, which will be hard to prove now.
He is involved in the murder of a young woman.
Why would you kill the hen that lays the golden eggs?
-Don't be crude. -Sorry. But this doesn't make sense.
Siren knew something.
She was expecting a lot of money, enough to buy a flat.
I'm not talking about her inheritance. Her mother is dying.
Shit.
OK, say it was extortion. Against whom? Why? What did she know?
Quiet, are we?
Change your shirt. There's a sale at Dressmann.
-Where have you been? -At the morgue.
Why didn't you call?
Didn't you have time?
It was difficult to tell you on the phone.
Easier to send two policemen?
Fortunately I was here and mom was sleeping.
-Haven't you told her? -She has a hard enough time as it is.
I let her out of the car ...
She was hit by a car.
Killed.
Someone ran over her on purpose.
I regret that I let you in on this.
-Hello? -Karin Bjorge?
Yes?
I have something Siren wanted you to have if something happened.
-OK. Who are you? -I have to call you back.
-Who were you talking to? -A guest forgot his mobile charger.
I...I have to go look for it.
Yes?
-Karin? -Are you sure she was killed?
-Yes. -Henrik Berner called me earlier.
He says he was Siren's girlfriend.
-He was very upset. -Upset? What do you mean?
Siren asked him to keep something for her in case something happened.
He was supposed to give it to me.
-What was it? -A mobile.
He wants to see me. I had to promise not to tell the police.
-Where are you meeting? -At the aquarium at 11 a.m.
I'll meet you there.
Thanks.
Do you want me to come over?
No. Not tonight.
Thanks for ...
Calling.
OK, let's see if the seals want to dance for us.
It's 11 .25.
He's not coming.
I can't believe they were a couple.
A hooker with a boyfriend ...
They probably have the same needs as we do.
She probably needed all the friends she could get.
Karin?
Jesus!
Call the police!
Don't go down there!
I told you "no more bodies", I told you to stay out.
Then you find people floating in a fish tank! Tourists don't need this.
-I didn't kill him. -People are dying all around you.
And you destroy evidence. I need evidence.
-Siren died in my arms. -That's what makes you blind.
You're like a blind elephant in an aqu...
Hamre, we are not alone.
If you really care about Siren, leave the investigation to professionals!
That goes for you too.
God dammit!
-What was it he wanted to hand over? -Her mobile.
-Who else knew he was here? -Karin called me.
Did anyone listen in?
-I was alone in my car. -I was alone in my kitchen.
You can go. Take this thing with you.
Now what?
-I have to go. Will you be OK? -Yes.
I'll see you.
Who sent you?
NSA. I'm here to terminate you.
They would never send a guy like you.
Joachim, I have a difficult task for you.
-A favor? -A job.
Difficult? Are you paying?
2000 if you succeed, 1000 if you don't succeed.
Seawater?
Just give me the 1000 straight away.
It's not mine.
It's a case you're working on?
I need addresses, messages, photos, videos ...
Whatever you can find.
Just give me a couple of days.
Watch your driving!
Two O's. Latoor.
I cannot yield personal information about students.
He is mentioned in a will. All I know is that he is a student here.
-Do you want me to break the rules? -I want you to be less bureaucratic.
-Tell him to pay his tuition. -I will. Have a wonderful day.
Excuse me. Alexander Latoor?
Alex doesn't live here. Sorry.
I'm sorry. It's important for me to find him.
Alex hasn't been here for months. Not since the accident.
The fire in which his friend died. Asbjorn. I told you last time.
I haven't been here before.
-You're not a cop? -No. I'm a friend.
I'm looking for Siren.
She lived at Fantoft.
I don't think Alex wants to see her again. She wasn't his type.
He has more distinguished friends. Give my regards.
She is dead.
Alex and Siren were together?
Alex may be in danger. If you know anything ...
I send Alex' mail to this address.
-Thank you. -You're welcome.
-Hans Haugen? -Varg Veum. Private investigator.
It's about your friend Alexander Latoor.
May I offer you something? Coffee, soda?
Is Alexander living here?
Usually, but I haven't seen him in a long time.
-Are you worried? -For Alex?.
He is my best friend and greatest worry.
I have some bad news. A friend of his is dead. Siren.
Her family asked me to tell him about it.
-Did you know her? -No.
-How long has Alex been living here? -He moved here after a friend died.
Asbjorn ... Sovag?
What's the story?
There was a fire in a student dorm in town.
I don't know this girl ... Siren? And although I like having visitors ...
Alex asked me to help him.
-With what? -Finding Siren.
-Have you known Alex for a long time? -Yes. We studied together in London.
Why did he come here?
He was broke and got a scholarship.
A Norwegian scholarship?
My parents died in Africa. They worked in foreign aid.
I used some of the insurance money to help Alex. It's in their spirit.
Are you a couple?
Alex takes whatever he can get.
But he lives off you?
It's a small scholarship. Enough to grant him a residence permit.
He has had to work on the side. I wish I could do more ...
Is that a Picasso?
Yes.
-Genuine? -It's a heirloom from my grandfather.
He was a ship owner, wasn't he? but you're not a ship owner?
No, that was my grandfather. I grew up in Africa.
When I came to Bergen last year, I hadn't been here since I was 15.
Granddad is gone. So are the ships.
No inheritance?
Just this house. And I will inherit a little money when I turn 25.
Granddad valued the maturity of the mind.
A little money?
A lot of money.
40 million NOK.
I'm sorry.
Occupational injury ...
I requested that ages ago ... Yes!
-Aren't you done here yet? -Now it's getting interesting.
-Have you found anything? -Hundreds of fingerprints.
Mostly from children. And yours. But these are hard to explain.
Hey! Stop talking. This doesn't concern him.
Fix that window. You can get a fine. Take this. It fixes everything.
Do you know anything about a fire in a student dorm? A man died.
What do you know about that fire?
Only that it was a fire.
I'm listening.
I'm looking for Alex Latoor. He tipped me about Siren.
He was the only witness.
Didn't you know? Alex Latoor was sole witness to that fire.
-You found some fingerprints? -Belonging to a dead man.
Now how can that be? A dead man's prints.
Who?
Asbjorn Sovag.
Asbjorn Sovag killed Henrik Berner?
It was his fingerprints at the aquarium.
Stop! Get back!
Don't move! Be quiet. You know why I'm here.
What's going on?
No!
What's this?
It's a recording device with voice recognition.
It automatically turns on when you start talking.
It records conversations between the handsfree and the phone.
But I hardly ever use the headset.
But the Bluetooth on your mobile is always on. Look at this.
-All my conversations are on tape? -On memory cards.
You said your car window had been smashed.
Someone could easily stick their hand in through the window.
Henrik Berner ...
The guy at the aquarium?
Were you the one who ...?
I have something that may cheer you up.
This is the last video on the mobile you gave me. It wasn't easy.
-Is that all? -Do you know how hard it was?
I had to put it together frame by frame. I had to calculate ...
-Yeah, yeah. Is that all there is? -For now, yes.
-But you'll keep working? -Yes.
It's easier now that the program is working. I have to see the rest of it.
Varg?
-They're after me. -What?
Berner is after me! They killed Siren. Now it's my turn. Help me!
-What are you doing here? -They're trying to kill me!
I went to the hotel to investigate. They caught me.
Look. There they are, in that Audi.
-It's empty. -Fuck!
Hey! There is a queue here!
Watch where you're going!
They're angry as hell. Do you know why?
I think I do.
Let's start with Siren.
We met at Fantoft. We were together for a while. Then she disappeared.
-How did you know she was a call girl? -I saw Siren at a party.
-You didn't know anything? -No.
-What else? -Nothing. I got angry and left.
Then I saw her last week outside the hotel.
I liked Siren.
Siren was fun, she was smart.
Then Berner came and got her hooked on heroine ...
Berner gave her heroine?
They're notjust making money off girls. They sell drugs to oil rigs, -
- nightclubs ... Everywhere. They smuggle it with the catering food.
-How do you know? -The entire staff knows it.
But they're scared of losing theirjobs. I don't care, though.
I decided to find out for myself.
-Did you find anything? -I know its' there. In a storage room.
In a food delivery to an oil rig.
-When is it shipped? -Today. According to the schedule.
But now I don't know. The caught me red-handed.
-They know that you know? -Yes.
We get off at the next station. OK?
Asbjorn Sovag ...
What about him?
Where is he?
Dead.
What if I say he's alive?
Then you're full of BS. I saw the house burn down. No one survived.
Did Asbjorn know Siren?
Why do you keep asking about Asbjorn? Asbjorn is gone.
Because Asbjorn's fingerprints turned up when Henrik Berner was killed.
What do I do now? Leave the country?
The police wants to talk to you.
I'm not safe with the police. Berner has too many contacts.
Anyone you trust? Anyone you can stay with?
-Hans Haugen? -No. Berner has his address.
Consider it an anonymous tip. Berner is involved in drug trafficking.
And yes, I'm certain.
A new raid on the same hotel? Are you joking?
-He tried to run me down. -They probably wanted to talk to you.
-Funny way to talk to people. -Siren was hit by a different car.
You are a witness in two murder cases, you're dating the victim's sister.
She works in social services, right?
She searched the name of Henrik Berner the day before he was murdered.
Because we were picking up her sister.
Against her own will?
She was unconscious.
That's abduction. I could have you arrested.
-Hamre ... -OK.
Social service employees don't kill their sisters. Have you seen Latoor?
No.
This is my friend Karin. Alexander Latoor.
You can get in.
Keep an eye on him. He may disappear if he feels unsafe.
He has probably done more for Siren than I have the last ten years.
See you.
-Are we going to your place? -To my mom's.
They'll never find you there.
-Thanks. What about Varg? -He's coming later.
Listen, I ...
I need to get some stuff sent over there.
What's the address?
-Any progress with the mobile? -The girls are still dancing.
I'll send you more as soon as I have it.
Could you find a picture of Asbjorn Sovag and send it to me?
Who is he?
A student. He died in a fire last year.
OK.
I'll have a look.
Keep the place clean! This isn't good enough.
We only have the pier until 12.
-Where shall I unload? -Pier number 5.
-Hamre? -Yes?
I've found the drugs. I'm in Berner's truck.
Where are you? Are you sober?
Trace Berner's truck.
What are you doing?
Who is the one having a birthday?
This is my friend Hans.
What has happened to you?
Alex ...
-Who did this? Berner? -Of course.
-He wants to talk to you. -Have you led them here?
Do you think I'm stupid?
-I need to clean this. -Of course. Come.
This is a memorable day. Who's having a birthday?
This is an advancement on my inheritance.
One year from now I'll be swimming in this stuff.
-Do you know each other? -What's she doing here?
Are you stupid?
Have you told them your name is Asbjorn?
Hans. can you hear me?
Get him upl
-Did you get the clip? -Yes.
-The picture of Asbjorn Sovag? -Here it is.
That's Hans Haugen.
That's Asbjorn Sovag.
-No inheritance? -40 million when I turn 25.
Have you told them your name is Asbjorn?
Who is having a birthday?
What do you know about the fire?
-Asbjorn Sovag killed Henrik Berner? -His fingerprints turned up.
Hans Haugen?
Joachim, call the police. Ask for Hamre.
-You want me to call the police? -Jacob Hamre.
Tell him Asbjorn Sovag is alive.
He has taken the identity of Hans Haugen.
He has probably killed Siren and Henrik Berner. Just do it.
Siren? Is that you?
It's Karin, mom.
Get out of the house, without Latoor noticing it.
Love you.
-I don't care what you're up to. -This one's for Siren!
This one's for my brother!
-I know who killed your brother. -Me too.
No! It was Latoor who killed Siren.
You killed her! Siren was safe with us.
Shut up!
Please! Karin's little sister ...
Sovag! Asbjorn Sovag killed your brother. Please save Karin.
Please!
-I thought you did it. -Killed my own brother?
Turn around? Do you know what it costs to turn this circus around?
-Is he there, or not? -Latoor is with Karin.
Latoor? I'm on my way there now.
So you've hidden a potential killer from us.
And now you want our help? Are you sober?
Are you OK? I have some painkillers.
No, it's OK.
Karin, get out of the house! Away from Latoor. Hello?
Your sister was greedy. Are you?
-You drove the car? -We did. It was always us.
Before your fucking sister came around.
She started blackmailing us. We couldn't let that happen, could we?
Hans was our family. He wanted us to have the money, not that whore!
Coincidentally Siren was whoring at the hotel where Alex started to work.
Help!
Wait! Not here. Grab her.
There is a main entrance and a porch. Any other doors? In the basement?
No.
Do you recognize that car?
-Is that Karin's car? -Yes.
Veum! Shit!
Shut up!
Police! Freeze!
-Put down the scissor and let her go. -Stay where you are!
-Don't make things worse. -How could they be? We're dead.
-Put down the scissor. -Don't take another step!
Listen carefully. I have many of my finest men here.
They have weapons.
What do you have?
Look!
I just want her.
-Do you think I'm falling for that? -I'll exchange it for her.
You can have the car as well.
Don't fuck with me, or I'll break her neck.
We'll give you half an hour.
That's good.
Nice suit.
Oh, thank you. You too.
I never thought I would be so glad to see you as I was that night.
I'm the one who should thank you. I got Berner and Helgesen.
Locked up and refrigerated.
-Thanks for the gift. -My pleasure.
Go to her.
You will be forgiven. People like you always are.
