Guðmundur, over here
We've hooked some damn thing onto the line
What the hell's that?
We found a body
You think he was killed on board the ferry? Chopped up there?
These stab wounds were made by a medium-sized knife
A kitchen knife maybe. Then he sawed through the neck
Not easy to do
And bloody
You can't search the ship
- What do you mean? - You need a court order
A Danish court order
Listen, we'll be on a plane within the hour
We'll handle it
I think I've found the guy
Jonas Malakauskas, from Lithuania
They seem to think he's involved with organised crime in Europe
Hey! Hey!
SHE SHOUTS IN HER OWN LANGUAGE
It's total chaos
Yeah...
Well done
Guys, put the shit in the car. We're not going anywhere
Hey! Stop right there!
Andri, I'll grab him!
- Ásgeir... - Yes?
I'll take the prisoner. You take my car
- What about the camper van? - It's not going anywhere
OK, no problem
As you can see, the hotel is under construction.
In here is the place. Straight on.
Here we go.
We've caught him. He left the camper van on the heath
- Meet me there - OK. See you there
- Hi - Well, any news?
- We've caught him - Good. What can I do to help?
We need to go through the passenger list
See if anyone's missing
And if anyone is missing, that might be the deceased
Yes, OK. I'll check the list and see if I come up with something
OK
Ásgeir...
Get a list of everyone staying at the hotel
When we drove past earlier, I got a feeling he knew someone out there
Will do
Jesus Christ!
What a shithole
DOOR OPENS
- Listen... - Yes
It seems he was planning to drive to Akureyri
WOMAN'S VOICE IN BACKGROUND
No
But listen, Hrafn's here
Since I met you earlier, I checked the hotel and the sports centre
Yes
TOILET FLUSHES
- Hi - Hello there
I was on a little investigation
And I think I might've found your missing passenger
His name is Björn Weissmann. From Switzerland
- He brought the passenger list - Well, I've still got the touch
Once a cop, always a cop
- Is my old mug still here? - It seems he's right
You need to look out for that riff-raff on the ferry
Ásgeir, you should know all about that
Andri, I'll bet you anything that this investigation is somehow drug related
But between you and me, do you think he's the murderer?
I can't discuss it, you should know that
Yes, of course. All right, I'll let you handle it
If I can help with anything else, don't hesitate to call me
Yeah, thanks for that
See you
Ásgeir...
We need to ask all the passengers about this Björn Weissmann
HE SIGHS
What about him?
Should we question him now?
No. Leave that to the Reykjavík squad
So to sum things up, we found a body in the water...
...and a member of the Lithuanian mafia
All looks pretty straight forward
The forensics department from Reykjavík will have to examine the camper van
We'll be there in the morning if the weather calms down
All right, then. Goodnight
They might've caught the murderer
Which of course is... brilliant
Did you notice anything unusual on the ship?
Yes, there was this strange guy, and this one time,
he was taking this photo of this dead bird.
What the hell's it called?
- A seagull. - Yeah. - It had flown into a window and killed itself.
- And this strange guy, he took this dead bird inside. - Into the canteen.
- Yeah. - And he was taking photos of it.
- Of the dead bird? - Mm-hm.
He said it would make a great photo.
So, erm, did you ever run into him again, or...?
No.
If we're going on a live broadcast, then I'm just about ready
I hope the connection holds. I'm walking into the sports hall
We're in the sports hall so we should be able to see more clearly
Here we can see how the townspeople have put all their efforts...
...into fitting all the travellers in comfortably
This is what we call sticking together during tough times
The roads have been impassable most of the day, as we know
- Is it any better there? - It's getting worse, if anything
But we're hoping it'll calm down soon
We're lucky enough to have the local chief of police here tonight
Here you are. We're live on air
Good evening. Maybe you can tell us how the local police...
...is handling the investigation?
No, no
Has the Reykjavík forensics team arrived?
The case... The case is in safe hands
All right, we'll keep covering events
- as they unfold, Friðrik - Shit.
And now, onto other news
Yes, OK. Thanks for that
That went well
Soup is ready. Please have some soup.
Daddy...
Yes?
Is mummy going to live with us again?
No, my darling, I don't think so
Sigvaldi can live with us as well
Don't think about that, sweetie
You should sleep now
Goodnight
BUZZING
Andri
That court order from Denmark just arrived
The ferry will be grounded for three days
Hey, cop!
- That's pretty good, isn't it? - Come and suck my dick!
- Is everything all right with him? - He just needs attention
No matter what, don't let him out
No, of course I won't. I'll see you in the morning. Bye
I need the toilet.
SHE SIGHS
Fucking bastard cops!
You can pee in this.
Hey! I need to shit!
Not to piss!
I need to SHIT!
- Captain... - Yes?
A Danish court order
We're going to ground the ferry for three days
And if we feel the need to, we can extend it
You can't touch anything until the forensics department gets here
People felt trapped and were beginning to go crazy
Bullshit.
You wanted to give the Lithuanian a chance to escape.
You must have heard he didn't.
I don't know what you're talking about.
That's what he says, too.
- Is all your crew onboard? - Some went into town.
Who?
His name is Hjortur, something like that.
Hjortur Stefansson? So, he works here?
How long are you planning to stay this time?
I haven't decided
If you're staying for a while, I think you should pay some rent
DOOR SLAMS
So, Hjortur, he was difficult to work with?
Yeah, he was a pain in the ass.
How long has he been working here?
I only hired him for this trip.
It was a trial run and I told him not to bother coming back.
He was pretty aggressive with the passengers.
Any passengers in particular?
Yes, there was this Swiss guy he got into a fight with.
OK, can you describe this guy from Switzerland?
Er, he was about my age.
But he dressed, like, younger.
He was skinny, usually in a baseball cap.
Hjortur was right. He was an asshole.
- Hi, Freyja - Hi
- Is Hjörtur at home? - No, not right now
I really need to talk to him
Could I talk to you maybe?
Sure
He never fully got over losing her in that fire
- You know where I could find him? - No...
I don't even have his phone number
I guess he's afraid that I won't leave him alone
Do you think he started that fire?
Well, I know that it didn't start itself
They were drunk. Just stupid kids...smoking
Of course, I want to believe him, I mean...
...he's my son after all
But I don't know, I really don't know
But I do know that your father-in-law wasn't thrilled...
...to have him around his daughter
Whatever that meant
How old are your girls?
- Eight and twelve - Twelve?
You'll need to keep an eye on her soon
They really grow up pretty quick these days
Has Hjörtur ever been...
...violent towards you or anyone that you know?
Why do you need to talk to him?
It looks like someone broke in here
Where were you going to base your law firm?
Down in the basement. It has a separate entrance
CLATTERING
What...?
- Did you hear that? - Yes
What was that?
Hello?
Oh, my dear Lord
HE MIMICS A CHAINSAW
- Hi! - Hi.
- When did you get back into town? - Just yesterday
- Welcome back - Thanks
Listen, I need some batteries. Just the regular kind, AA
Can I help you with something?
- Hi - Everything all right?
Yeah, I'm perfectly fine
Have they said anything yet?
I just brought them in. They're still eating
Hi. My name is Andri, I'm the chief of police.
Do you speak English?
Did that man bring you here?
Yes.
I'm going to ask Hinrika to speak to you in my office.
Just get a statement from them
Let them finish eating first, though
You should be able to apply for residency for them...
...under the circumstances
This is simple and straight-forward human trafficking
Does he have anything to do with the murder?
I really don't know
Do you have any other leads?
I'm going to talk to Hjörtur
- Is he in town? - Yes
Do you want me to tell dad about it?
Just do what you feel is right
I'm just going to talk to Hjörtur. You never know what might come of it
OK.
Trausti won't to be happy about being trapped in Reykjavík
You can just imagine
And not just Trausti, the entire investigation unit
Work on the house doesn't seem to be progressing much
My father wasn't supposed to renovate our house
You were supposed to do it and then we'd put it up for sale
Yes...
We hadn't made any final decision about that
The girls will move down south to live with me
- We'd already discussed this - Look, Agnes, you...
You can't just show up here with this...
...new boyfriend of yours and give me some ultimatum
- I'm not giving you an ultimatum - No
Listen, let's discuss it later. OK?
- Andri... - We'll discuss it later. OK?
SHE SIGHS
KNOCK ON WINDOW
I need to take pictures of...
So, you're Joy and you're Nishadi.
How old are you, Nishadi?
My sister is 13.
Do you have any more bruises?
CAMERA CLICKS - What about your sister?
Does she have any?
Why did he tie you up?
Practice.
Thank you.
Tell me, Joy, where did you live in Nigeria?
Who are you taking them to?
Someone who will tie them up and beat them?
One of those girls is 13.
This is not an official interview.
Hinrika...
- I'll fuck you, my little one - Hinrika!
Don't ask him that until we conduct a formal interview
I think you're nobody.
Hi, Guðmundur
Well, have you found out who I fished out of the fjord?
No, we haven't yet. Sorry to say
Such a thing doesn't happen every day. That's for sure
No...
But they sure seem to be doing some fishing here today
Welcome. Thanks so much for coming
We couldn't postpone since we had the MP here and everything
You'd think they'd have learnt something by now
With the economic collapse and all
Yes. I need to have a word with Sigurður
Sure
- Hi - Hi there
- Have you found anything on the ship? - No, we've found nothing yet
OK. Let me know if you find...
Hi, Andri. I heard you'd stopped a camper van
Some foreigner smuggling something? Did you find anything?
- Andri - It's Ævar
Hi, Ævar
- How are you doing? - Well, fine, I guess
No one's going to make it from Reykjavík yet
I trust you'll handle everything until Trausti shows up with his team
Well, yeah. That's the plan
- Has the Lithuanian talked yet? - No, but he had some baggage
Two stowaways, sisters
- The younger one's not older than 13 - Trafficking?
Certainly looks that way
I'll be damned
That doesn't look good. It's probably the bloody mafia
You think it has something to do with the body you found?
- We'll see what we can find on the ferry - That's true
But you have to remember that this is Trausti's investigation
I know. That hasn't escaped me
I want this all concluded peacefully
- Yes - I know the two of you all too well
OK. Anything else?
No, I guess I just wanted to hear your voice after all these years
Yes, it's good to hear from you too
- Listen, I have to go - Remember...
- ...it's all about co-operation Andri - I know. All right, then
This really will be the world's port...
...as your mayor so elegantly named your new port earlier tonight
I'm really glad to be able to tell all of you gathered here tonight...
...that our Chinese friends are ready to negotiate options on any property...
What does this option mean?
That means that they'll have pre-emption to all the land...
...that they feel they can use when we go into construction
- And when's that supposed to happen? - That is...
We don't have a finalised timeline on that yet...
...but the plan is that a consortium, here in town, will buy all the land...
...and handle all negotiations with the Chinese
So are the Chinese buying the land or not?
- Dad, the consortium buys the land - That's right, that's right
China is one of the fastest growing economies in the world today
The United States aren't the powerhouse they once were
China is the future
And this port, this port, will be our China!
I think all of us in this room recognise this course of events...
...we've all seen it before...
...in 2008, when we were all promised gold and riches beyond belief...
...and I hope that we all still remember where that led us
We were living in different times before 2008
Everything revolved around the banks who continuously lent money...
...that didn't really exist
This, this right here, is an actual concrete business opportunity
The benefits it will generate for this community, if we go into...
Well, not 'if', when we go into construction
If this is all going to materialise, then we need to stick together
The whole town needs to stick together, because if we don't...
...then some other community...
...that shows more unity, will run with it and leapfrog us
And when I talk of unity...
...I'm referring to the fact that this port...
...will not be built if some random lands here and there...
...stand in the way
So you're saying that we all have to sell?
Yes, Father. One man can ruin everything for the rest of us
I see
Then I'll volunteer to be that man
Father...
RUNNING WATER
My husband's in the shower. You can take one when he's done.
- It smells nice here. - Yes, he's cooking meat soup.
Yes, well, I'll bring you some clothes. My clothes, of course.
DOOR OPENS
- Hinrika! - Yes, I'm in here
- I've brought visitors... - From the ferry?
Yes, yes... from the ferry
They're staying with us for a few days
Give them something to eat. I have to meet Andri at the sports centre
- Of course, but... - I'll show you your room. Come.
Just bring him over here. Yes
Agnes, I'm going to look after Maggi for a while
- Can he play with Perla's toys? - Yes, of course
- Everything all right, darling? - Yes
Daddy, I don't know for sure, but there's a chance...
...or Andri thinks, that Hjörtur might be involved in this murder
So he's back in town?
Yes. Let's not jump to any conclusions. I just thought you should know
What did you say about Hjörtur?
I was just telling dad, Andri thinks he might be involved in the murder
- Who is this Hjörtur? - What does he mean "involved"?
It doesn't mean anything yet
Well, it must mean what it means, doesn't it?
No, Andri just wanted us to know that it was a possibility...
...and I think it's good for us to be prepared
"Prepared"?
Prepared for what?
He's never left this house
We never speak of him, but that doesn't mean he's not a part of our lives
What do you think that this changes?
I'm not sure really
I just wanted you to know about it
- Yeah, hi - Hi
I received information from Interpol about Hjörtur
They were watching him because he did time...
...for his part in the arson at the fish factory
But anyway, according to them, he was in Spain
I asked the Lithuanian, but he'd never seen him before. Or so he said
Anyway, Hjörtur boarded the ferry in Copenhagen, so did the Lithuanian
I can't find anything on Björn Weissmann
- What's going on? - One moment, please
- I guess I'll keep looking - Yeah, OK. I'll talk to you later
We're going to need some more bowls...
OK, bye
No plastic crap. Call the hotel
Listen...
You haven't seen Hjörtur Stefánsson around here, have you?
- Is he in town? - Yes, he arrived with the ferry
He may be in contact with some of the passengers
- Is he involved in the murder? - No, I just need to talk to him
I haven't seen him
- Want some coffee? - Yes, please
- The weather has played its part in - Hey!
- the investigation into the discovery... - I need the toilet.
...of a body in the fjord yesterday morning
The Reykjavík police investigation unit hasn't been able to get to the area...
...so the investigation is being conducted by the local police
I've been all day here and all I've had is this little bottle.
...but have not been able...
This is a human rights question!
OK, turn around. Put your hands behind your back.
I can't go to the toilet with my hands back.
Unless you want to assist me.
OK, hands in front, then.
Stay there.
Well, no one seems to have noticed the sisters on board the ferry
Aren't you cold?
We have to look into Hjörtur's involvement
According to my father-in-law, Hjörtur will always be the monster...
...who killed his daughter
- You believe that? - I really don't know
He might've become that way, even though he wasn't back then
Aargh!
Hey! Hey, hey!
Hey!
Don't!
What's happening here?
KNOCK AT DOOR
Perla, sweetie, Maggi's here. He's come to play with you
OK, my darling. Listen, I won't be too long. OK?
And dinner will be ready soon
What's happening down at the sports centre?
- There's a lot of people there - Yeah, I saw it on the news
Hrafn asked me to go down and help out a bit
- This truly is an awful mess - Unbelievable
Wait, can't you build blocks?
Perhaps you don't have any toys?
My dad's going to give me a red fire truck
- What dad? - My daddy
He called me and said he'd come and give me a red fire truck
My daddy loves me and gives me all kinds of toys
Not just some stupid fire truck
And it's called a fire engine, not a fire truck
SHE SINGS: You don't have a dad. You don't have a dad
DOOR OPENS
CAMERA CLICKS
May I?
Yes, of course
Aren't you afraid about...?
Oh, my God!
- What? - Nothing
What are you two up to?
I just saw something on Twitter
I think maybe you should take a look
Hey, go and wash. Tell your sister that dinner's ready
- Can I...? - Yeah. Really disgusting
Oh, my God
Perla, dinner's ready
Perla, what's wrong?
Perla?
BUZZING
Hi
Jóhanna just saw some pictures of a headless corpse online
It's on Twitter under some alias, so you can't see who posted it
But it's been posted just recently
I think the photos might've been taken at the fish factory
- I've just sent you the link - OK. I'll look into it. See you later
PHONE RINGS
This is Ásgeir. Please leave a message and I'll get back to you
Ásgeir, call me ASAP
Goddamn it!
Perla, we have to find Maggi. Hurry up!
- Have you seen the kids? - No, I thought they were downstairs
No, I've already checked downstairs
- Have you seen the girls? - No, I've not seen them
Girls?
Maggi!
Maggi, where are you?
Maggi!
Mum and Dad, look down the street. I'll go up that way
- I'll look down there - Yeah, do that
- Thórhildur! - Perla!
Perla! Thórhildur!
Maggi!
It's been shared all over the Internet
Someone broke in through here
Goddamn it!
Kids! Thórhildur! Perla!
Maggi!
Thórhildur!
Kids!
What's going on?
BUZZING
Andri.
Andri!
Andri, the girls have gone missing!
- What? - They went out and I can't find them
You have to come and help me. The weather's crazy. I can't see
I'm on my way
Maggi!
I can't take it anymore. I want to go home
Perla, we have to find him
I want to go home!
We have to find Maggi!
- Perla, we have to! - No!
Maggi!
