Alexei!
Alexei Podnikov!
Alexei!
Pah.
Morning, Governor Odegard.
Hey, Bianca.
The center cannot hold.
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world.
Exam time?
English lit Tuesday morning.
Good luck.
Thank you.
What are you doing?
Please just calm down.
I just I want to see your bag.
Get off me!
I just want to see in the bag!
No! Get off me!
I saw you putting carrots in your bag!
Get off! Okay, just let me see.
No! Get off me! Okay, you
You wait now! You come with me!
I've called the police! Let her go!
I'll bury this in your fucking skull!
Put the ax down now, Rune!
Aah!
That's enough of all this.
Aah! Ow!
Drop the ax and lie face down on the floor, or I'll shoot you!
I don't think I want this after all, thank you, Hong.
So shoot me. Huh?
Dad hears about this, you're for it, Rune!
Hey, finish off the rest of this hull plate, will you?
I'm beat. Where's Stefan?
Stefan's gone, skipper.
Why?
Says he won't put to sea in a deathtrap.
Ha. Deathtrap? What's he talking about?
What's he talk Mr. Lennox!
Hey, Bianca
I did it. Everything you need.
Really? A lot more fun
than the late poems of W.B. Yeats.
Ha ha ha!
Way to go, girl.
Oh, Bianca, you don't know what this means.
Bring my dad a big fat crab.
Give me the detonator.
There's no going back.
Three hundred thousand tons of ice and snow.
Buried forever, Vincent.
Crushed and lost forever.
That's right.
Okay, then.
Do it.
Hey, Vince.
You're back.
Okay, Hildur, finally, Oslo's decision
is that I have to sign off all subsidy payments.
Erling, you and I came to an agreement.
No, no. No, we didn't.
Oslo can't run Fortitude by proxy.
Believe me, they don't want to run Fortitude at all.
I've already co-signed these.
You need to sign them.
Dear God, Hildur.
Cut your losses and get out of here.
There's a vacant governorship in Trondheim.
They have a cheese festival.
Eric could be deputy.
Last night, did you look out of your window
around midnight?
There was a glorious
singular firmament last night.
A Blood Aurora.
In my time here, I've never seen it before.
Few people have in all their lives.
Cheese festival.
Personally, I can't wait to get out of here.
What happened to your face?
Oh, uh, it's nothing.
Uh, an accident in the supermarket.
This is the other thing.
What other thing?
Law and order.
Dan Anderssen.
Eric still hasn't found a body.
Eric doesn't need a body. He needs a badge.
You need a sheriff.
It's high time Eric Odegard
faced up to his responsibilities.
A full Blood Aurora
occurred as a result of this mass coronal ejection.
Demoniacal cacophony.
Voices that never cease.
Children...screaming.
They die in the mines In their thousands
and little babies, too
all in the hands of cannibals.
Crunching little bones.
Crunching.
On a more positive note,
tonight's Blood Aurora display
could be a beauty.
Until for one brief whisper...
I glimpsed peace.
He showed me.
That's the bar closed now.
Uh-huh.
Tonight...
he's back on earth.
Cannibals and demons.
Idiot.
The man's head is full of fairy tales.
Ingrid?
What the hell are you doing?
Someone's
There's been a terrible accident.
The blade threw him in the air.
Which side of the road?
It's the left, I think.
Go back and wait in the car.
Once I struck a reindeer, and it split in half.
Antlers and blood in the snow.
It was like a Christmas card.
Go back and wait in the police car.
Has Lars been drinking?
Everybody's been drinking.
There.
Help me here.
Who is it?
Aah! Ahh!
Oh, my Petra.
Let's turn him around.
The head is
His head is gone.
Freya! Where are you!
I'm coming!
Michael?
In here.
Come here.
Help me work this thing.
Okay.
Can you open that?
I need to print it out.
What am I looking at?
This is what they know at FARC
red king crab marching across the Arctic sea floor,
heading our way at $13 a pound.
The highest pier-head price I've ever seen.
Somebody stole this stuff?
Technically.
Is this illegal, Michael?
Because I can't have any police attention.
It's all okay.
Don't you worry about it.
Don't you worry about a thing
Michael....because I'm going to catch
the red king crab. Michael.
Oh, cut it out, you lunatic.
Oh, put me down before you hurt your stupid back.
Okay.
So the snow plow hit him.
The snow plow hit him.
And the blade of the snow plow
sliced off the head.
You think?
Petra. What?
This is more like a clean cut
with a bladed implement.
You do not have the training
or the experience to make that kind of judgment.
That cut was made with a very sharp blade.
Ingrid, don't presume to lecture me about
Not the snow bucket of a big old fucking lorry!
Lars has confessed!
But the reason we can't find the head in the snow
No....is because it's been taken away
No....by whoever murdered him.
No. No. No.
No.
No, please.
No.
I can't
I can't do this.
Somebody killed him.
I knew that the moment I saw his body.
The only person I ever touch...
is already dead.
The only intimacy I ever have in my life
is if they're already
Is it Dan?
No. I don't think so.
So?
Uh, Petra has made
a preliminary evaluation, Governor.
Governor...
it is...clear to me
that the victim was assaulted,
murdered, and decapitated.
The nature of the injury
isn't consistent in any way
with a snow plow impact.
Somebody cut off his head
with a sharp-bladed implement.
So that traffic accident is now a crime scene,
a murder scene.
Who is he?
There's no I.D.
None of us recognize him.
I don't recognize him, either.
So you have to get back up there now,
secure the scene fingertip search, photographs.
Petra, you'll be the senior investigating officer.
What about Eric?
Unfortunately, Eric is not here.
He's still looking for Dan's body.
Okay.
Like some kind of puppy
that you tolerated or found amusing
or cute or loyal or obedient or
You're not cute. You never said anything
to make me think anything other than all that.
I don't. Don't what?
Say stuff like that. I know you don't.
To anyone. I never have.
Said what?
That I
I just don't find it easy.
So say it, then.
Because how the fuck is any poor fucker
ever supposed to know how you feel about them
if you feel about them?
They could trust their instincts.
My instincts?
My instincts told me that you wanted Jason.
You wanted a big alpha...sex bloke.
A sex bloke?
Yeah. A strong man, not a fucking puppy.
Jason killed himself.
Yeah, I know.
You nearly died, too.
I know that.
But you didn't.
No.
Not anymore because I
I need to go. I need to leave this place.
You
uh...
I don't think I'm ever going to get better.
I I need to find my passport and pack.
Will you, uh, come and see me in London?
Come on.
Blood.
Ah. Thank you, Tomak.
You drinking alone?
Not if you join me.
I haven't got long.
Shit.
It's the Aurora.
The Bloody Aurora.
Yeah. Michael,
we're trying to get the boats fueled up,
but there's a little problem.
What is it?
Axel Fersen's being an asshole.
Says he can't release the diesel
Hey, Lamont I'm I'm gonna have to call you back.
Freya?
Freya! Freya. Freya.
Freya.
What What happened?
Come here, baby.
Let's get you in the house.
Come on. Come on.
Step up. Up.
Can you grab my
Oh. Oh, baby.
What happened to my sweet baby?
What happened?
Freya. Baby.
Come on baby. Come on, come on.
I'm okay, Michael. I'm okay.
Dear Christ.
If I hadn't seen that light on the ground,
if I hadn't seen the light outside my car window
It's okay, baby.
No. How long were you
How long were you I don't know.
What happened?
My legs went, I think.
I'm calling the doctor.
No. Yes.
No. Freya. Freya.
This is too soon.
It's too soon. This shouldn't be.
They said it would be six months,
six months to a year before
This shouldn't be. No.
You can't. You know you can't.
I'm not leaving my home,
and that's what the doctor will do.
Exile.
I can't stay on the island
if they know I'm this sick.
No, no, Michael.
Just cuddle me and make me warm.
You can't call him.
Dan Anderssen was a strange man, you know.
I think he was loved, but I think he was
very lonely,
like a proper sheriff from the Wild West.
Vincent has wasps in his head.
Well, they nearly killed him.
Is Eric the sheriff now?
Do you think Eric would make a good sheriff?
A good sheriff or a bad sheriff?
Dan's dead.
I know that. I've known that for a while.
You don't disappear in the Arctic
and then show up weeks later with stubble and a story.
I grieve him. I'm sad. But he's dead.
Eric is absent because he's chosen to be apart from me.
The road's closed.
Glacier Road.
I saw a police car and tape.
What happened?
Nothing we have to worry about this time, thank God.
Oh.
Michael.
I need to talk to you.
For some reason,
the harbormaster won't give us any fuel.
Not just me, the whole fleet.
There's a new arrangement.
Everything that Oslo subsidizes
has to be re-approved by an official from Oslo who
I'm under instructions.
Hildur, I g I need this.
I have to go to sea. I have to hit the crab.
This time, more than anything
I have never asked you for a favor, Hildy.
I I wouldn't
Michael, I can't do this.
I need to get out there.
It's really kicking up down here.
Fucking Tannar's out for blood, man.
I'll be right there.
I need fuel, Fersen!
Fucking keys now!
I haven't got the keys!
Don't fuck with me.
This is your last fucking chance, Fersen.
Give me the keys!
Keys! Keys!
Tannar! Don't
For Christ's sake, put it down!
I'm your governor.
Am I not?
I understand you need fuel.
Mr. Fersen does not have the authority to release the fuel.
I do.
Help Mr. Fersen to his feet,
and we'll get the boats all fueled.
Lamont!
The boats are fueled,
but nobody wants to go to sea in The Muriel.
Lamont's going.
Lamont's soft in the head.
Not on 60, Rune. You'll shrink everything.
What's this?
I don't know.
Is it blood?
I don't know what it is it.
Could be anything.
60 degrees it is, then.
Mom. Rune. Morning.
She told me what happened.
Oh.
What happened?
He punched Hildur Odegard.
I didn't punch.
He did what?
Hit the governor. Accidentally, not
not deliberately.
He punched
It's okay. What happened?
You all right? Yeah. My wrist turned,
that's all. I'm fine, I'm fine.
Here, Mom. I do it this way.
Take me with you.
What?
Dad, you're shorthanded.
This is too important.
You won't get anyone else. I'm coming with you.
I'll find some gear.
He's right.
He's not right. He's 16.
Why was she stealing carrots, Rune?
What?
Why was that girl stealing all those carrots?
Because.
You want to stay safe in this place,
you have to be able to see in the dark.
Enjoy the sea, kiddo.
We found it near the body.
It's been bent out of shape.
And no identification on the victim?
We have no idea who the dead man is?
No. None.
No one has reported anyone missing.
So he could be a newcomer, a visitor?
Yeah, or someone without any friends.
I just popped in on my way to the airport.
Sorry, Vincent.
We've got to go.
Sorry. Catch up when you get back.
Yeah?
I I just came to say goodbye.
I'm heading home for good.
For good?
H-Health
Health issues.
Ever since
Oh, well, Vincent. I'm sorry my husband isn't here.
I'm sure Eric would like to say goodbye properly.
He did.
What?
He said goodbye yesterday on the glacier.
You saw him?
Hildy.
Dan Anderssen is dead and gone.
That's that, Eric.
So you are needed in Fortitude
because there's been a murder.
A murder? Yes.
A bloody decapitation.
Who? Who's been murdered?
We don't know.
Hildy. I'm just
We're just clinging on.
Hey.
We can't all run away like this,
chasing dead men, avoiding everything.
Dan is in the past.
All the bad... shit that happened,
you and me...
What you and me?
A man is dead, and you are needed.
I fed them last night, and everything was fine.
But they were running rampage through the town.
A research student was savaged.
I really think you've got the wrong dogs.
No. No, we haven't.
The gate is open.
Oh, my God, they're all gone.
Like, all the dogs are
Its spine has...
has...
The spine has been removed.
You eat when I say. You sleep when I say.
You do everything I tell you.
You do everything Lamont tells you.
Because you fuck up out there at sea,
and it's all over but the shouting.
How much do I get paid?
Ha ha! You'll be paid a greenhorn's share.
How much is that?
Half a percent of the catch profit.
Okay. A half percent of fuck-all is still fuck-all.
Ha ha!
Michael!
Michael Lennox! Your boat!
Huh? Oh, shit.
Shit!
Shit.
What happened?
I just
Give me that.
What the fuck happened, Lamont?
I
I don't know, skipper.
I was I was down below
and smelled the smoke.
Dad, I'm going with Tannar.
What the hell are you doing?
A greenhorn's share:
half a percent of Tannar's catch.
She needs this.
Good night, Natalie.
If you're too repressed to say it, I'm not.
I don't want to live without you.
Are you planning to keep the beard?
You don't like the beard?
I don't like the rash.
I don't have a rash.
I do.
Did you miss me, then?
What?
Dan Anderssen used to say
If someone said "Will you miss me?"
Dan used to say, "I'll only miss you if you zigzag."
Watch out!
Hey, you!
Hey! Stop!
Hey, you!
Hey!
Dan?
Aah!
Bad things come at night.
You'd loaded the gun yourself.
Aah!
