A headless corpse drifts from underneath the ferry
And who's on board? Hjörtur Stefánsson
He went to prison and that's supposed to be enough
That's not enough!
Easy!
These are the photos
She looks a lot like Dagný in this photo
I should have died in there with her
I miss her every single day
- They've arrested Hjörtur Stefánsson - At least that's something
- Shouldn't you let Reykjavík know? - And tell them what?
That I've lost the body and the suspect is dead?
- Another broken window? - Another?
What's going on around here?
The world's port, here in our little town
- How much trouble can they stir up? - That's why you're here
A member of parliament
China is the future and this port can be our China
Could another town land the deal?
Wherever it ends up, it will be a huge benefit for the Treasury
So for 25 years, the landowners can't sell to anyone else?
One man can ruin it for the rest of us
I'll take it upon myself to be that man
We have to find the body parts. They must be out there somewhere
Goddamn it
We've been looking in the wrong places
- So he wasn't on board? - And neither was the killer
We're running the prints through the database
But they're pretty messed up, so it might take a while
But it's clear that it didn't happen on board
Shouldn't we release the ferry then?
No, not yet. We still have to question those waiting to board
It's best that the murderer doesn't know about this
If we identify the body, we'll be a step ahead
Right, OK
But, listen, Andri, just try not to lose the arm as well
And for Christ's sake, stay away from the media
Bye
No, no, no! What are you doing? Wait
I'm not keeping my sandwich in there anymore
- It's going into the freezer - I don't care. That's disgusting
We'll have to get a new fridge
- We can't keep the arm in the fridge - Have you found that report from '08?
Do you need it? Hjörtur isn't a suspect
I want to see it. Just put it on my desk
So we can exclude everyone off the ferry?
This is it
You can go
You'll get your camera back, but not the SD card
There are photos regarding an active investigation on that card
I'm not here to talk about your bloody port
- Want to come inside? - I need to show you something. Come
What?
Listen
It's the ice. It's condensing
When it gets warmer, it'll fall, forming an avalanche
I'll call them tomorrow
What if it's too late?
What do you want me to do? The road's snowed in
I'll call tomorrow
You really need to fix your car
I don't know what you mean
- Evening - Evening
Were you working last Thursday afternoon?
Yeah
Do you remember a man who bought a sandwich and two bloody marys?
Yeah, he's here somewhere
Over there, that one
Thanks
- Evening - Friðrik
Evening to you
Did you drink a bloody mary last Thursday afternoon?
Thursday? A bloody mary? Oh, yes
Some guy at the bar bought me a drink
He was celebrating something, celebrating...
...moving back home, I think
- An Icelander? - Yes. Can't remember his name, though
Moving back here?
Don't know. Moving to Iceland, at least
Why?
Why are you asking about him?
It has to do with a case we're working on
The murder case? What's he got to do with it?
Jesus.
Was it him that was killed?
And you can't remember his name?
Jesus Christ... What was his name again?
Did he say something that might be important to the case?
Like what?
- If he was in trouble, or...? - No
- Enemies? - No
He just was celebrating moving back home
Moving back home from Spain. Yes, that's what he said
Could you describe him to a sketch artist?
Well, I... I could try
I'll help you any way I can
Thank you, Friðrik
Let us know if you remember anything else
- You have a sketch artist in mind? - Ásgeir
Ásgeir? Can he draw?
Andri
Have you released Hjörtur?
Yeah
No, just because of this thing with the Lithuanian...
We were hoping it could be resolved quickly
Yes. But we want to catch the culprit, right?
- Want some coffee? - No
So, how's it going?
- Have you heard? - No
- They released Hjörtur - Oh? When?
Just now
I'm not surprised
He's always been difficult, but he's no murderer
I need to tidy up, clear everything away
Hjálmar will help me. I won't be long
Why don't you just come home?
I didn't know that. She's awful!
Evening
We saved you some dinner
Dad was telling me about grandma. That she was a real witch
- I never called her a witch - All right then, a dragon lady
A huge, fire-breathing dragon lady
Thanks
Did Hjörtur confess?
No
We released him
We have proof that it didn't happen on the ferry, which exonerates Hjörtur
And to tell you the truth, I feel sorry for him
You've never spoken to him, have you?
What would I say?
That I forgive him?
I don't know
I just know that he lost a lot in that fire as well
And he went to jail for it
You want me to show compassion?
I thought we weren't to speak of this
Or is it just me that poisons everything?
Of course, it's not just you
Enjoy your supper
I'm teaching her to play Olsen-Olsen
- Is there any coffee? - Yeah, just made a pot
- Nice looking snowman - Oh, yeah
They'd never made a snowman before
Who are you calling?
He only dialled two Icelandic numbers
Can't you see who's registered for the numbers?
Unlikely that they're registered
The Lithuanian's dead. Bloody idiot
- And they've released Hjörtur - And the girls?
He didn't say anything about them. Maybe the police found them
He got a call from Jonas's phone but didn't answer
I've been thinking about what you said
That I never stop talking about her
I was upset
It's unbearable to think that she died for no reason
It would be easier if there was a reason
You're still looking for someone to blame
- These phones... - Yes
How do they work? Can you use them right away?
You just buy credit, no contract
Have you sold many of them recently?
Yeah, a few
Can I ask you something?
Yeah
Did Hjörtur take those Twitter photos?
Why do you think so?
You've released him, so he can't be the killer
But... should I be afraid of him?
No
But the phones? You remember who you sold them to?
- Yeah. The old guy in the wheelchair - Rögnvaldur
And Guðni, from the hotel
Anyone else?
- Not that I recall - Thanks
- Good morning, Andri - Good morning
I need to talk to you
Listen...
It seems like everyone but me is ready to forget and forgive
But I haven't been able to
I don't know what it's like to lose a child, Eiríkur
I don't think hatred and rage is the best way to work through it
No
You're not the first to say so
To be honest, we're a bit understaffed
And Kolbrún's constantly demanding more
Dishes, bowls, cutlery, mattresses, duvets, pillows
Like this?
The hair was thinner. Not bald, just thinner
- Dark hair? - Well...
Getting grey, but yes, it would've been dark
Tell me, Andri, your boss...
He was thought to be pretty good when he was in Reykjavík
What's he doing here?
You need good cops outside the city as well
Yeah, that's true. Sorry
What about the ears?
The guy's ears?
Sorry about the mess. We're expanding and need to finish before spring
No problem
- Take a seat - That's OK, I'll make it quick
You bought a burner phone in the store the other day
No, why would I have done that?
- Are you sure? - Yes, I'm positive
I have a perfectly good phone
Strange. The shop assistant was sure it was you
No, it wasn't me
OK, thanks
- You know the way out? - Yeah, I do
And he was a bit thinner...
Wait a minute, I think I know the guy
That's the man
It just dawned on me. Don't you recognise him?
I've been reading the report on the fire
Your assessment for the insurance company is based on this report?
Yeah
Can I have a look at it?
Have you ever been in a fire like that?
No
In there
Hjörtur?
Maybe it has something to do with the youngest child
It was always harder to let her go
She was always my little baby
And she was sensitive
Yet she was also rebellious
She dressed provocatively
Came home drunk
She continued to challenge me...
...by getting a boyfriend who owned a motorcycle
Just to annoy her good old dad
But she wasn't strong
She was fragile
I don't know what we did wrong
I didn't do it
I know
Geirmundur Jónsson. That's him
He was here a few years back. Got a drink-driving ban and a drug charge
He was a perv as well
- I can't find it - It must be there somewhere
- I've been through everything - Just keep looking
So how long has it been since you last saw him?
- Maybe four, five years, I don't know - Six, seven, possibly
He was the type of guy that comes and goes. And leaves a bad smell
We need to know if someone saw him around town
We need to find out why he came back
And why he was killed
Why can't I find that bloody report?
- Hello? - Hi, it's Ragna
- Hi - So... how's your mother?
- Has she recovered from the flu? - She's better
All right. Send her my love
Will do
Do you need something?
OK, your partner, Trausti, is unreachable
And when he answers, he just gives me lip
Yes, I know...
You have an obligation to inform the public
I'm just a desk jockey
It's not acceptable for a superior to treat the press this way
Especially with a case like this
- No... - You need us sometimes as well
I don't know what to say
You haven't forgotten that you owe me one?
OK. Brilliant.
We found out who the dead guy is. We better keep it from the press
Ævar, we've identified the body
- Good job - We just need DNA confirmation
- Are you planting a bomb? - Kiddi's fixing the car for you
I see
The starter should work now. Try it
See?
Thanks for that, Kiddi
- Hrafn - Hello, Andri
María, would you mind bringing in some coffee?
I'm fine, though
- I understand you've let Hjörtur go - Yeah
But we've identified the victim, Geirmundur Jónsson
Ásgeir said that he was quite a troublemaker when you had my job
Yeah
There's some basic info in the database...
...but we can't find his file in the archive
Ásgeir used to handle all that
If you can't find the file, it's his fault
But you used to deal with him?
Yes, you could say that
Thanks, María
Would you mind closing the door behind you?
Listen, Andri...
We don't get many criminals passing through here...
...but I always felt we were a bit exposed by the ferry stopping here
The entire time I was chief of police...
...Geirmundur Jónsson was the most dubious of them all
A troublemaker
The Lithuanian couldn't have killed him
I know it's strange that this troublemaker should appear...
...a day before the Lithuanian mafia and it's human trafficking
Did you know about that?
No, I didn't know anything about that
To be honest, it's very inconvenient not being able to find the file
He could easily have got mixed up in anything
Drugs, human trafficking... What do I know?
He just vanished one day, a long time ago
And I haven't seen or heard from him since
Someone has to go up there with explosives...
...or else there'll be an avalanche. I can do it myself
The snowpack's so weak, it's just a question of time before someone dies
Why do you always have to be so dramatic?
We can't move heaven and earth...
...because an old man panics about a possible avalanche?
You and Hrafn... You're of the same ilk
For sake of your conscience, I hope I'm wrong this time
It's good to hear that you worry about me
Kids, come inside!
What was Hrafn like as police chief?
He was all right
We've always seen eye to eye
And we're both local, we know each other
Do you trust him?
What are you fishing for?
- One cappuccino - Thanks
You must be under a lot of pressure
Yeah, I guess you could say that
And everything snowed in. I'd go nuts if it happened to me
We're waiting too, in the newsroom
It's terrible we're not there
Yeah, tell me about it
So, Thór, tell me something...
What's for dinner? I can't find anything to eat
There's plenty in the fridge
You want me to cook?
Stop it. I've been at the sports centre all day
I'll make you a sandwich
A sandwich?
It reflects well on you to have a wife that gets things done
I'm sorry
I'm sorry about dinner
It wouldn't look good if I didn't participate
It would reflect better on me...
...if I didn't have such an ugly and wrinkled wife
Hrafn dearest...
...you're no Adonis
The investigation's going well, despite difficult conditions
We've been able to identify the deceased
Is he connected to the Lithuanian who you arrested earlier?
It's too early to say
Jonas Malakauskas, who escaped custody and froze to death.
- Isn't that correct? - Yes, that's correct
If he froze to death, hours must have passed...
...between his escape and discovery of the body
It seems like your team has dropped the ball
Or you weren't listening earlier, Ragna
Like I said, we only have three officers on the scene
Just three. And yet they've identified the body
So I think the investigation is moving along nicely
Do you know why Geirmundur Jónsson returned from Spain?
Let's leave it there
No further info was received from the police...
I'll have to go down there and talk to Rögnvaldur about that phone
It's probably nothing, but I should follow all leads
- You'll handle everything here? - I guess so
Thanks, darling
This Geirmundur Jónsson has nothing to do with the ferry
Which means we have nothing to do with the murder
They'll be forced to let us go
We're not leaving until we know where the cargo is
We're obliged to gather the people together so we can depart
We must be ready when the pack ice disperses
If you make that call, I'll make a call of my own
Did you buy a phone at the petrol station recently?
Yes, I did
Would you like to come in?
Are you always on your own in the house?
I have a licence for those firearms
Are you sure it's a good idea to leave your husband alone with her?
You'll stay for a while, won't you?
It's been so long, since I last had a visit
- Guðmundur! - Dad!
- Don't do it, Dad! - I know perfectly well what I'm doing
- Please, just let it go! - Guðmundur!
The dynamite will explode and the snow will flow in that direction
But what if you're wrong?
I'm not wrong
That was an explosion
It worked
Guys...
Guys, run!
Dad, run! Dad!
