Who was she?
Her name was Sasha. That's all I know.
What was she doing out there?
What were you doing out there?
I can't let you go. You have to give me something.
Karin received a call... - Karin?
I've had her case for a year.
But last week something changed. - What?
Her face was bruised.
Are you in the habit of handing out your personal number to clients?
No.
What did she say? - The line was bad. It was windy.
She said she needed me. And she was in Alvoen, where the road ends.
Varg wouldn't let me go to her. - Why not?
He didn't want me running around in the forest late at night.
What was she scared of?
I just called out to her.
Then she ran off the second she saw me.
Was there anyone else there?
I didn't see anyone.
She called me, not you.
She expected me to help her. Perhaps that's why she got scared.
You shouldn't have given her your number.
Let me handle my own calls next time. - There will be no next time.
You're not my father, Varg.
How are things at home? - Mom is working all the time.
Can you wait here for a few minutes?
Amina?
Hi, Amina.
I'm so sorry about Sasha. - So am I.
I don't know what to say.
Is there something wrong? Anything you want to talk about?
No.
I'll just go.
Let me see. It's nearly your turn. I can help you now.
Amina, wait. Amina?
Here Call me if you need me.
I think Amina is very upset about Sasha.
It's tragic.
I went through Sasha's case. She was one month away from being granted asylum.
It makes me sick.
Me too.
Now what?
I'm thinking.
Thinking can be painful.
The girl couldn't have died from the fall.
Her body couldn't have drifted that far.
My people say otherwise. - It doesn't add up.
The tide was high and it doesn't turn until 6 a. m.
Somebody wanted us to find her there.
Why? - To send a message.
To whom? - I don't know.
We find an asylum seeker in the sea with no certain identity and no fingerprints.
No past. Nobody is looking for her.
It's sad. But unless you killed her, we don't have a murder case.
The case isn't important enough?
I understand you're upset. But we are handling this as an accident.
Come in.
Hello. - Just a moment.
Did I miss the parade? - Is this a bad time?
Sit down.
Here is 20000 NOK.
Somebody broke into our club house yesterday.
They stole our banner and a picture of the board from 1959. 50x40.
50x40 centimeters...?
I want it back. My granddad was chief that year.
I see. This is a problem.
Yes it is.
Name? - Christian Fasmer.
17? -18.
I bet you are a member of this club.
I'm the boss. My father was chief 25 years ago. Grandpa before that.
This is the first time the club house has been compromised.
I know who did it.
Another boys' drum corps. They have a problem with us.
We beat them in a drum-off the other day.
And you know who did it? - Yes. "Dröggens".
Can't you get the banner yourself?
That's what they want. A fight. But we won't bring it to them.
The "compromise" is on the top of my list.
Can I help you?
It depends. Are you Dr. Ström?
It depends who's asking. - Inspector Hamre sent me over.
Can you answer a few questions about the Budnyk case?
So you're a policeman? - Yes. According to the autopsy report...
Which report? - Sasha Budnyk.
Pretty girl.
Chief Inspector Hamre, please. Can I see some ID?
Hi, Varg. Nice to see you.
William Aardal, Karin's boss.
Yes, right.
Ellen. A colleague.
You look like you're in a hurry. - I am.
You know you can trust me, Amina?
Yes. - Why did you call?
What's the matter?
I want to tell you but I can't.
Is it about Sasha?
I feel it's my fault.
Why? You had nothing to do with it.
I don't want to talk about it.
When was the last time you saw Sasha?
Hey.
This is Varg, my boyfriend.
Hello Amina. How do you two know each other?
I know Amina through Social Services. - From work?
Amina knew Sasha.
They were close friends.
What happened to Sasha was very sad.
What's that? - What?
The fingertips...
They told us to grind them down.
Sasha helped me.
It hurt for a long time afterwards.
She never complained.
"She"? - Sasha.
They were smuggled into the country together.
Amina, where are you from? - Liberia.
That's a long journey.
Did you pay anyone to get into Norway?
Did anyone pay for you?
I don't know what you mean.
It's okay. Who told you to grind down your fingertips?
Let her go. - Did anyone pay...?
Nice work!
Amina?
What the hell are you doing? We talked about it.
You talked about it. - Karin!
Her friend was killed. - Why do you say that?
I just saw her. She had marks on her body you don't get from drowning.
Did Amina tell you who paid to get her here?
She stopped talking when you started pressuring her!
Hello.
William said you were some sort of detective. Am I under investigation?
If so, I didn't know about it until now.
It was Ellen, right?
Do you live here?
I see.
How is that?
So they buy themselves time?
Did you know Sasha well?
When was the last time you saw her?
What did you tell her?
Did you mean it?
Was it Amina?
You don't have to.
But I was there when she fell in the water.
I tried to talk to her.
But I scared her away.
I seem to scare everybody away these days. So I let her down too.
What do you think is in that container?
I have no idea.
It could be tuna fish.
Batteries, maybe.
It could be toy panda bears from China.
Or little girls from Estonia looking for a better life.
We have borders with three countries A thousand ports.
Give me a billion, and I'll sort it all out.
Somebody is financing human trafficking, and they're doing it from Bergen.
And they're rich enough not to be seen.
It's called "supply and demand".
Have you read this?
Where did you get this? - Have you seen the body?
No, but I bet you have.
The forensic pathologist, Dr. Ström, is he a good guy?
We all agree Dr. Ström is a dick.
But he has been the chief forensic pathologist for more than 25 years.
Cause of death...
Lack of oxygen, suffocation... So she drowned.
There is something wrong with this report. It doesn't add up.
Are you blaming Dr. Ström?
That's a serious allegation.
The death of that girl was tragic.
But asylum seekers are hard to trace.
Some of them just disappear.
This one didn't disappear.
Somebody killed her.
You're chasing ghosts, Veum.
Get a new autopsy.
I bet you won't find any water in her lungs.
I think you have a flat tire. - No, it's...
Stay away from the girls!
Hey.
Are you okay?
Yes.
I'm sorry about Amina. I didn't handle it very well.
You're trying to help. I know. I'm also trying.
That's the thing. I don't want you to help.
That's how it started. - It's my job.
I know.
But I don't like it. It's dangerous.
Karin?
I'm sorry. I don't want anything to happen to you.
I know. - I couldn't handle it.
You can keep the money.
Keep the money?
It doesn't matter anymore.
But it does. Money matters to some of us.
It's a pretty sum. I like it.
So I should just stop?
I thought you wanted evidence, get your flag back.
Are you friends with the other corps now?
No.
Very well.
But I can't take your money.
Then give it to someone else.
Dröggens Drum Corps, attention!
A salute to the boys who fell during the war!
Hello.
Can I help you?
What are you doing?
Don't go over there.
Are you going to stop me?
The daddy's boys didn't have the guts to come?
How much are they paying you? - Relax. I won't tell your parents.
We're five guys. We could have taken him!
Yeah right.
I see you found me.
I did? - That's me in the middle.
I had just lost my baby teeth.
Are you Christian's grandfather? - I am. And proud of it.
He's a fine young man. Torbjörn Fasmer.
Varg Veum.
Are you here because of Christian?
Yes. He asked me to help him find something he had lost.
I see. We owe you.
You're good at your job.
Can I have that in writing? Goodbye.
Is that you? - You have a good eye.
Let me thank you for your work. It seems everything is back where it belongs.
Did Christian take care of you?
He did.
Have you seen him lately? He seems upset.
Upset? I guess I'll have a talk with him then.
It wouldn't hurt.
Glad I could help.
When did you give her your number? - Yesterday morning.
What was she doing there?
I don't know.
Perhaps someone stole it from her. You said there had been a break-in...
That was several days ago.
This must be her wallet.
She must have been there last night.
She lives at the asylum seekers center?
Yes. At the same center as Sasha.
That's strange. I didn't see a single teenage girl there.
Shut the door.
Diana Tourem, 14 years old, Saltnes asylum center.
Julia Pecht, 16 years old, Saltnes.
Yeboah, 14 years old. Also at Saltnes.
Ramia Yeboah.
These girls all live at the same center?
Have you heard about Dr. Ström?
He's a chief forensic pathologist.
He examined all these girls.
Can a pathologist do that? - I don't know.
But if these girls aren't at Saltnes...
Hello. - Hi, William.
Is it you?
Looks like you're in a hurry. - I was just delivering something.
Always going somewhere, huh?
Did you get what you needed?
See you after work. - Yes.
I thought we had rules against this.
I know. I'm sorry.
Don't worry. I didn't see anything.
Karin... If you need any help -
- anything at all -just ask.
I know. Thanks.
Hello? Okay. Right.
I'll be there in ten minutes.
Can I help you?
Hi. I'm looking for Amina Amodu.
Karin. I work in social services. I'm helping Amina.
Do you work here?
It seems like a lot of the clients here disappear, they fall off the radar.
It's also strange that you get more of these girls than any other center.
Can I see this place? Is it here?
Karin?
Get in.
Was it that terrible to come to Norway?
They want in. But when they get here, they want to have it their own way.
What happened to Sasha bothers me. I told you. It made me sick.
But when she called you, I had no choice.
Give me your arm.
Amina, I said, give me your arm!
She just needs to calm down.
What the hell did you give her?
This is not for her, it's only for you. Do you understand?
I want you to listen. And then we'll forget about this trip, okay?
We know Varg went to the morgue. We know what you wear at night.
We have people at all levels working for us.
Who?
That's precisely the point, Karin. No more questions!
Varg needs to stop. You're going to stop him.
He's going to leave the girls alone.
This is very simple. Do you understand?
If not, you will be the one cutting Amina's throat.
I assure you.
That's it for today. See you at work tomorrow.
Get him!
Let me take you to the hospital.
Broken ribs can't be put in a cast.
You can stay here with me.
I thought I'd take the day off.
I can't. I have to go down to the station.
Remember you said you couldn't handle it if anything happened to me?
I want you to end this case.
Which case? - Don't start. I mean it.
Look at me.
I'll be careful. I promise.
Don't patronize me.
You knew this when we became a couple.
I know it's your job. But now you're injured because of me. Please stop.
Karin... Take it easy.
Don't tell me to take it easy!
Nobody is paying you for this. You can quit.
I thought you wanted to help. What about Amina?
I wish you would listen to me for once.
Nothing you do will bring Sasha back. All you care about is yourself.
Don't go.
Please.
You shut up.
You shut up! - As long as you search that building.
Let's take one step at a time.
Look here.
You gave me short notice. Make it fast.
Two minutes. Please sit down.
It keeps raining.
About the report on Sasha Budnyk
We sent it to you several days ago. - Yes. Thank you very much.
There are some irregularities. - Really? Says who?
The marks on her neck we’re not mentioned in the report.
I cannot remember any marks. I would have recorded it.
I want a new autopsy.
I'm sorry. She has already passed through the system.
What did you say? - She was cremated earlier this week.
Isn't that a bit early for a suspicious death?
When did this case become suspicious?
Right now.
A bit early yes, but there is a lot of pressure on us. Decisions must be made.
By whom? - By me.
Dr. Ström, we do not cremate people just a few days after they die.
This case was special. This isn't a common practice.
Good. I would hate to investigate you all the time.
Are you investigating me?
I want to know why Sasha Budnyk is so special.
I have neither the time nor the energy to sit here and explain anything to you -
- or to your boy scout over there.
Perhaps you would care to explain this?
Where did you get that?
Can you explain that?
Dr. Ström needs to spend the night. See to it.
Then I'll have to make a phone call. - Go ahead.
Give the phone to the officer afterwards. He is a good man.
What the hell was that? - He didn't give you anything.
I don't like being ambushed.
He's out. It took one hour.
That fast? How is that possible? - That's how it is.
Did you tell him you were a cop? - No.
They're all over me because you stuck your nose where it didn't belong.
I don't even want to know where you got those pictures.
What about the building on the docks? You can't let him go.
We're not allowed to touch him. The mayor's office called.
They want my head on a platter.
Damn freelancer!
You have three new messages.
It's me. Can you call me?
It's me again. We have to talk Please call me.
Hey. You have to come home.
Go home! - Fuck!
Gentlemen...
Here's to the boys who fell during the war.
Here's to the boys who fell during the war!
Never thought I'd see you in a place like this.
Neither did I.
I admire your audacity. It's not easy to get in here.
What's the occasion?
I just wanted to see how the other half lives. What's your excuse?
I thought you had to be a full-blooded Bergen citizen to be here.
That's usually the case. But rules need to be bent.
You can say that again.
Can I help you in any way?
How did you get in? - How did you get out?
I asked you a question.
Then we're even.
You're such a charming man.
And you're lucky to be here. - I am?
You're pretty lucky yourself. Let me tell you why.
Varg? Wait.
You'll have to excuse us.
He's a bit sensitive.
It's your club. - They like to be a bit exclusive.
You like to bowl.
The drinks aren't bad.
I can do more from the inside...
This is how things are done in this town. You know that.
Say hello to Karin from me. Don't work too hard.
I heard it on the news.
I didn't know where else to go.
I'm glad you came.
I've got something for you.
What is it? - Sasha's ashes.
I thought she could find peace with you.
It's going to be okay.
I've got something else for you.
Look. A visa, some money and a ticket.
They would kill me. They keep an eye on us at all times. How can I...?
Amina? Listen to me now.
You'll pack one bag and leave quietly. There is no other way out.
I can't. You don't understand. - You have to try.
We lost Sasha. I don't want to lose you.
They'll know I did it. - Do you think so?
Why did you go to the club house? I told you to stop.
I didn't know you were going to torch the place.
Neither did I.
Why did you do it? This is more serious than stealing a flag.
I know.
I met your grandfather.
Yeah, he told me.
I saw you two arguing last night.
Is this where you normally sleep? - Answer my question.
Why did you burn down the club house?
I left the Drum Corps. He didn't like it.
I can imagine.
Do you recognize this girl?
No.
Are you sure? She is your age.
So what? My mom is your age. Do you know her?
She was at your club house the night before you told me to stop investigating.
And then you burned it down.
Christian?
I thought I was alone. Then I heard her.
I don't think any woman has ever been in the executive office before.
There was another black woman there.
I hadn't seen her before. Ström was there.
The forensic pathologist? - He was chief one year.
We call him "Grumpy".
And Aardal. - William Aardal?
He was never in the corps, but he always hangs around with the old timers.
He's a decent guy. At least I thought so.
Is this the thanks I get?
They threatened that girl. They really pestered her.
They were talking about this other girl too. I don't know who she was.
The lady told Aardal to stop, to let her go.
But he took his time.
Did you see anyone else there?
No.
Are you sure?
The girl survived? - As far as I could see, yes.
You saw all these people pestering a girl you didn't know, and who survived.
You thought: "I don't want to be chief anymore" and burned the place down?
Yes.
Get your jacket.
What's going on here? - She was on her way out in a taxi.
Where was she going? - She wouldn't say.
I suppose everything is all right then. You must be allowed to go out.
Ellen? Where are you going?
I need to talk to you.
Something funny just happened. Do you want to hear about it?
Amina packed her things.
She doesn't want to tell me where she got it from.
I had hoped that wasn't true.
Why are you doing this?
I told you to shut up!
To what do I owe the pleasure?
Varg is in trouble. - You don't say!
He thinks he can stop human trafficking on his own.
He's an adult. What can I do? - He didn't come home last night.
Where people spend the night is not my concern.
You have to make him drop the case.
What do you want me to do?
It's useless. I won't do it.
This isn't about the corps or about you anymore. I think you'll do what's right.
I also think he may know something.
Let me off. - Then I'll talk to him.
He's not going to talk to you, or to the police. He has friends there.
He will talk to you. That's the point.
Christian, trust me.
It's me. We need you down here.
Have you arrested Dr. Ström? - No.
Call me when you start doing your job. - Could you be here in ten minutes?
I have other plans.
Could you please let us handle this?
We've already tried that.
If you're not here in ten minutes, then I'm sending everyone after you!
You'd better start looking then.
I think I might cut your boyfriend's balls off! Where is he?
I don't know. - Not good enough.
Don't you think I would have told you? - Why are you here now?
You know something. You want me to help you? Then talk!
Okay.
I'm glad you came, Christian.
I burned down the club house.
I know.
We can fix that. Sit down next to me.
Did anyone make you do it?
No. That's not like you.
So what happened?
It's hard to explain.
Did you get it out of your system? - Yes.
Grandpa...
There is one thing I've been thinking about.
There is something I want you to have.
Look.
The inauguration ring?
150 years old, given to my great grandfather on the day the corps was founded.
It's been in the family ever since.
I want you to have it.
Why now?
Christian... You know I love you?
You take after me.
I'm not so sure about that.
The best boys from our corps grow up to lead this city.
It's always been that way.
We have important positions, but also a huge responsibility.
We deserve certain benefits.
Benefits?
The situation is simple.
I don't know what you're talking about. - I think you do.
That's enough.
Christian... Let's keep this between us.
We help young women from poor countries to find a better life here.
They get medical attention, educational opportunities, a place to live.
You don't have to tell me anything. Let's forget about it.
Christian, we're beyond that now.
Sit down.
You're a young man now.
You're the greatest success of my life.
You're talking about prostitution.
Some may call it that.
These girls get paid for things they would be forced to do back home.
No rape or genital mutilation here.
They only deal with the elites of this city.
If they're smart, they can earn a great deal of money.
They're just teenage girls, younger than I am.
They're women when they get here. Believe me.
They know what's up and down.
It's a reliable, lucrative form of investment.
We keep it safe and clean and make a good profit.
Can you understand this?
What about the girl who died? Did you help her?
She didn't want our help. It was a sad story. She was a bit crazy.
You killed her.
You're trespassing. I didn't invite you in.
Then you should talk to the police.
Put your seatbelt on, Christian.
I have friends in the police. - That makes two of us.
Attention all units: We have a warrant for the arrest of Veum, Varg, 250169...
It seems your friends are looking for you.
Hello?
Calm down.
No. Wait.
No, don't do anything stupid.
Hello?
Find out who that was.
William Aardal.
Where is he? - I have to help him.
Where is he?
He's going to hurt someone. - Who?
The girl?
Amina?
I don't understand it.
What is it about you that makes people sacrifice their lives to save you?
Can you explain that to me?
You know Sasha moved heaven and earth to get those papers.
Not her own papers, but yours.
What is it with you?!
Answer me!
Yes, her.
Is that her?
Yes. That's her from the asylum center. I think she was Aardal's lover.
What's happened?
We're looking for William Aardal. How old is he?
About 45.
He's about 45. I also want that search which was stopped yesterday.
I want five men on the docks immediately!
Let me talk to him.
You're just going to help me get in.
You stay in the car.
The code. Punch the code!
On your knees, Veum! - Why?
You're under arrest.
I want to speak to Hamre. - He's on his way.
On your knees! - No.
Don't move!
I'm glad you came. He was holding me hostage.
Move away! Get up, dammit!
Thanks a fucking lot!
There is somebody else you should thank.
We need a map of the building. - Aardal is up there.
Ellen Watu has been killed.
He has a young girl with him. We need to move fast.
1-6, this is Sierra-05. - You don't have time for that!
Stop! Keep him here.
We need more people. And weapons.
So you want to run off'?
They're waiting for you down there.
What's this stuff?
Let go.
What's this?
Not much left of her, huh?
Don't!
Don't do that.
Come on. Get out!
Fucking cunt!
Watch out!
What a bloody mess.
Veum!
Take the door down.
Amina!
Amina, I brought your suitcase down.
We have to go. The cops are here.
Give me the gun.
Amina?
Let me through.
Amina?
I know you're in here.
I found you.
It's over now.
Am I interrupting?
No.
By all means.
When did you start carrying a gun?
About five minutes ago.
It's quite heavy. A lot heavier than you think.
But it feels good.
Do you want to try?
Yes, please.
Forget it.
Don't you want to talk to Varg? He's come all this way to talk to you.
No, I came here to talk to you. - Really?
There are many people here to see you. Didn't you notice?
No.
Fasmer is here.
He wants you to come down.
You think you know what he's thinking?
Just stop talking.
It makes no difference. You don't understand anything.
You can't go through here. You need to register.
Amina?
I can deal with her.
I'm leaving. - I can't just let you leave.
Where do you want to go? - Home.
Let me know where you end up.
Go.
What did you say?
Nothing.
