You're not up to it. You're not a sheriff.
You should stay here.
If you move, you could bleed.
It's a psychological reaction to the wasp trauma.
So I'm not blind. I'm just mental.
I understand how upset you are.
This is not my dream job.
I need to find Governor Odegard.
There was a disaster in 1942 near Vukobejina
Something about regeneration.
They could reverse tissue damage?
They hurt him, and he healed.
What's that?
It's a hole.
Is it supposed to be there?
No. Most winters, this happens.
There's water down there.
The hot springs inland find their way out
into the bay right under the road.
Don't think about taking a dip, though.
It's still icy cold,
and the water will freeze the blood in your veins.
Kill you stone dead in a minute,
a man in your physical condition.
I wasn't thinking of taking a dip.
Old and overweight.
Huh.
Well, what am I supposed to do about it?
Governor Odegard used to call Kim Hopperstad.
He'll bring his, uh, digger out and fix it.
Is that so?
Do you know how many murders I have on my plate?
Hindemith, Tavra, poor Bianca,
and now Tomak at the Blue Fox
although technically I'd consider Tavra a suicide.
Right. Uh, can we just leave this for now?
Kim only takes cash.
Find anything?
Tomak had a lot of mobile phones.
Get Petter Hansen to unlock them.
Hello, Mrs. Odegard.
Any idea who did this?
I'm afraid I can't discuss the investigation.
Of course.
Do you have a moment?
I need to speak to you about something else.
You didn't want to speak to me
about something else yesterday.
Eric, please. It's important.
How's your room here, by the way?
It's a professional matter.
I have something to report to you.
It's about Erling Munk. I have some information
I'm sorry, Hildur.
I have a meeting with the governor.
He's under a lot of strain.
Yes, I know.
Hey, Vince.
You okay? You sleep all right?
Yeah. Great. Thank you.
Back to work already?
The samples we brought back from the Tundra
the reindeer and the bear.
I'd just love to get started on the analysis.
I'm sorry.
I don't think you're ready to go back to work.
I think maybe you should get some help.
Shut the door.
Last night Dan Anderssen broke my patient
out of the secure lab.
What, the girl in a coma?
We need to get her back immediately.
Well, we have limited resources
and other priorities.
Not anymore.
Is she infectious or something?
No, but we can say that if that helped.
If it helped?
Are you insane?
This place is a powder keg of well-armed drunks
who'll shut themselves in their hovels
and shoot on sight.
We won't find anyone.
My mandate from Schentel Biotech says
you do what I say in matters such as this.
I need my patient back now and preferably alive.
Then give me a story
that won't set this shit heap on fire.
I mean it.
Eric.
Governor.
Doctor.
Sit down, Eric.
Eric, I need you to, um, direct your resources
to finding Dan Anderssen and Elena Ledesma.
Governor, there's another body in the morgue.
I'm looking for someone
who's has killed at least one person, maybe four.
Sheriff,
without the medication keeping her alive,
Elena will die.
She doesn't know this, and neither does Dan.
We have to find them now.
Eric, ahem,
the dead can wait for their vengeance.
Our duty is to the living.
What if someone else gets killed?
Find the girl first, Sheriff.
That's an order!
Help me!
Dan.
Are you okay?
For a while there,
I couldn't remember anything.
Oh.
Everything feels like a dream.
And not a good one.
I remember
you were there in the dark.
You came to see me.
Or did I dream that?
No.
I was there.
I was so happy to hear your voice...
with the woman
Dr. Khatri.
Yeah.
I called out to you, Dan.
"Please, take me out of here, please."
I remember she was cutting me, and...
and I could feel the knife inside me.
And all I could do was scream...in the dark.
"Stop it. Stop it, please."
She didn't.
She couldn't hear me.
Maybe she could.
Maybe she knew.
Well, that's...inhuman.
It's a whole new world.
I'm
I am sorry.
Forgive me.
Forgive me. I had to do it.
This box...was smuggled
out of the Russian town of Vukobejina a few days ago.
It's got, uh, film,
got medical records and army reports.
I'll get the lights.
The film relates
to the events of 1942, in the summer.
It was the warmest summer in the Arctic
since records began.
There was a team of Russian scientists
who, from a weather station over on the east coast,
they reported a plague of wasps.
And then a massacre.
This is a reindeer herders camp,
A Sami Sami camp.
Everyone dead.
The sent in the Red Army who found one survivor.
This man This man is infected.
There's parasitic wasps inside him, just like here.
The Sami, they chained him up and left him to die.
But he didn't die.
He survived on his own for weeks
without food and and with very little water.
And he beat the wasps.
But when they took the chains off of him,
he killed sixteen people.
And they had to take him down
with four bullets it took to take him down.
The doctors started to open him up, and
He should be dead. Look at him.
The The notes, they speak of
of unprecedented organ and tissue regeneration.
Where are the medical files?
They're all right here.
They're
They're all in Russian.
You translated them?
No, but she did.
This is Yeva.
Her uncle is the mayor of Vukobejina.
He's my friend. He sent all this.
I'm sorry. Has anyone considered
the possibility that this is a hoax?
The film is old.
The files, everything's old.
Tissue regeneration
Is Is Is quite common in nature.
That's right. That's right. I've read about it,
and they can make new limbs, even even eyes.
This is not a hoax.
This What happened here in Fortitude, is that a hoax?
This is real. This is real.
It happened 70 years ago,
right on the other side of this island.
Same wasps, same shit that we've had here.
Only this time...
something good came out of this.
Something different,
something fucking miraculous.
Something that could heal us.
Ah.
You have to serve yourself around here now.
I can't imagine how hard this is for you.
What else am I gonna do?
The Russians, they...
set up some sort of temporary medical lab
near that weather station back in '42.
Yeva says that weather station is still there.
She knows where to find it.
If I can just find that lab,
I could find something.
Did you hear those scientists?
They made me feel like I was bullshit.
They weren't even listening.
Khatri was listening.
For her, the film was not such a surprise.
How do you mean?
I don't know. There's something here,
something...big, something connected.
But I can't see it yet, only parts of it.
Munk's part of it.
Getting rid of me, promoting Eric.
It's part of of a plan or pattern.
The killings, too, they're not random as Eric thinks.
But Munk is the key.
Groceries.
Clothes.
You have to come to Farc with me.
No.
We're giving them to everyone in town.
"Our friend Elena is sick.
"Without her medication, she will die.
"Please help us find her now.
"If you see her or Dan Anderssen,
call Eric, Ingrid, or Petra."
It's a lie.
What is?
It's not true.
She's not sick.
She doesn't need medication.
She's not going to die. Petra.
Petra, he's right.
I'm I'm fine here now.
Elena wasn't a patient. She was a lab rat.
The machines weren't keeping her alive.
They were keeping her asleep.
I'm not going back there.
I'm I'm not. I'm I won't.
-I won't. -Okay.
Okay. You can stay here for now.
But you're coming with me, Dan.
You have to tell Eric what you said.
No, I don't. He can't cope as it is.
Dan Anderssen,
I have orders to arrest you
and bring you in for questioning.
You don't need the gun, Petra.
You're not leaving.
You'll bleed again.
He's getting stronger,
the demon.
So little time left. It has to be stopped.
The police are looking for you.
They think you killed Tavra and that geologist.
Vladek. Did you?
I am not your problem.
Oh, God.
Tavra killed himself because he had to.
I killed that geologist
because he couldn't kill himself.
Is that true?
It is if you believe me.
If you have faith in me.
Do you, Freya?
I don't know.
Your money. What?
You wanted some cash from the bank
for Kim Hopperstad to fix the hole.
But you couldn't be bothered going yourself.
Kim'll see you there at 4.
Why can't you go?
It's dangerous.
Road's full of holes.
Perhaps I should find myself a younger assistant.
I'm not dead, you know.
It won't be long.
Not fucking deaf, either.
For God's sake, Ingrid, Elena cannot just disappear.
Keep looking.
Look what I found by the harbor.
Hello, Eric.
Dan,
I'm trying to find a man
who has killed a lot of people here.
But I can't do that
until I know Elena is safe.
You know where she is.
Help me.
Help her.
Dan, don't make me lock you up.
What are the charges?
You broke into Khatri's house.
To cook her a three-course meal.
It was a fucking home invasion.
I stacked the dishwasher.
You put a flare gun in her face.
It wasn't loaded.
Dan, please.
Dr. Khatri's pressing charges
threatening behavior, breaking and entering,
assault with a deadly weapon.
You'll be taken to Oslo for a trial.
Put him in a cell.
I'm entitled to a phone call.
Why didn't you tell Eric what you told me?
Hmm, I didn't think he'd listen.
I know.
I told him...
I think the killer's a Shaman, Dan,
but he won't listen.
He's out of his depth.
Go on.
There's a legend among the people here
that every few generations, the gods send down a plague
to remind everyone of their power.
And after the plague, a a sort of demon rises up,
the chosen one,
and he can only be defeated by a powerful magic,
and for that the Shaman needs certain body parts.
And that's what I think is happening here
the husky, the heads, the heart.
Someone is collecting body parts
because they think there is a monster here.
A monster.
It's only superstition, of course.
But if we can understand his way of thinking, then
We can predict his moves.
That's it.
Against my advice,
Dr Surinder Khatri has agreed to speak to you in private.
If you drop the charges, I'll keep my mouth shut.
How does that sound?
Hey, can I get a hand putting the Ski-Doos on the trailer?
Did I interrupt something here?
No.
Got to admit I had my doubts about her.
After getting to know her for a few days,
she's pretty great.
She's not my girlfriend.
Just saying.
Don't embarrass me, okay?
Hey, I told your mother we're going hunting.
Okay? All right.
Did you eat something?
We're wasting daylight.
Don't you be doing anything stupid while I'm gone.
You try not to shoot Rune.
Hey!
Whoo!
I just saw this.
I wanted to ask you what happened.
She came out of the coma yesterday quite suddenly.
No brain damage?
She was disorientated and violent.
I had no time to examine her.
But wasn't she effectively on life support?
It's a miracle, Dr. Yelburton.
Why did she attack you?
Be happy.
What did you do to Khatri?
Did you threaten her?
I don't know you anymore.
Dan.
Hildur.
I've been worried about you.
Hildur, come inside, please.
Petter, could you give us a moment?
Petter, get out of here.
I'm sorry about this morning.
My timing was bad. No. I'm sorry.
Just, uh,
just got so much to deal with, you know?
I know.
But...
most of all, uh...
most of all, I'm I'm upset.
I'm upset...
because you don't love me anymore.
I don't know.
I
I think I'm unhappy.
I I have been for quite a while,
and I don't really know why.
Well, I can wait if...
if that's what it takes.
Thank you.
You wanted to talk to me?
Yes.
Uh, Eric, it's, uh, it's important.
Erling Munk is corrupt.
He's being paid by a third party
to control events in Fortitude and report back.
He He contacts them
on a separate mobile phone he keeps in his room.
Yesterday I flew down to Oslo to see his former secretary.
She's also his mistress.
She told me he has a second property,
something he could never afford on a government salary.
He He keeps a sports car there in a garage.
Everything in a different name
some relative of his. I I have a...
a photo of Munk in the car at the house.
The local police will easily find it.
In the meantime, we need a warrant
to access his bank records and seize his phones.
Jesus Christ.
I know.
He always seemed so upright.
You lost your job, okay?
But your life is not over.
People have real problems:
death, loss.
I don't know.
Maybe you need... counseling or something.
You think I'm making this up?
I heard him on the phone.
I have emails that he wrote. They prove
They prove that What? What?
Conspiracy theory bullshit.
Christ.
I have work to do.
Why can't you love me?
Elena.
Elena?
Elena.
Elena?
Elena!
What?
What is it?
I thought you were dead.
No.
Uhh.
I want to go back.
I want to leave.
It's not safe yet.
You can't trust anyone here.
Can I trust you, Dan?
I'm the only one you can trust.
Didn't you try to kill me?
Or did I dream that, too?
No.
I didn't want you to end up like the others.
How did they end up?
They got eaten alive from the inside
by larvae from a prehistoric wasp.
A what?
Are you making fun of me?
No.
That's what happened.
That's what happened to people here.
And it happened to me, too.
After I thought I'd killed you,
I, uh, had a couple of drinks.
A few days later, I woke up here,
and by then, the voices were inside me.
I could hear them talking to me,
whispering to me, telling me what to do.
The voices.
And I knew I'd do it.
Did you chain yourself up?
Just me and the voices and anything I could drink,
even Henry's reindeer juice.
Oh, I knew I'd die eventually.
Where are they now, Dan?
The voices.
That's a good question.
Hildur.
Hello, Ralfi. Is, uh, Munk in?
I need to see him.
No. Gone for the day.
Really?
Uh, where?
Out to the old cement factory.
The road's shite again.
He's meeting Kim Hopperstad there at 4.
Hildur.
What are you doing out here?
I came to talk to you, Erling.
I'm here to see the digger man.
Kim Hopperstad. Hmm.
Increasingly I find my life has the quality of a...
bad dream.
I'm very sorry, Erling.
Hm.
I've known you 20 years,
and I can't imagine what sort of mess
you got yourself into to end up here.
I'm not quite with you, Hildur.
I know, Erling. I know everything
everything that matters anyway.
I saw the emails on your laptop,
gently engineering my removal.
And the others, quietly taking my place.
It was brilliantly done, of course.
They'd have seen it as a selfless demotion
for the good of the team
instead of what it was:
obeying orders.
I don't know what you're talking about.
I was hiding in your room that night,
the night of the bar fight.
Michael Lennox was supposed to keep you down there.
I went through your emails,
and when you came back, I heard you on the phone.
You were reporting back
about the progress of the murder investigations,
about what I was doing,
and about how Eric was an idiot
and that's why you made him sheriff.
"It's all under control," you said,
"but I want more money."
Marika told me about your second house in Oslo,
the one in your uncle's name
...and the car you keep out there.
I'm very sorry, Erling.
How did it all start?
It's not too late, you know.
I can help you. You can help me.
I'm not going to the police.
I don't care about the money or who you work for.
I care about Fortitude.
So here's my deal:
you resign the governor's job,
you find some excuse,
and you go home to Oslo.
In return, I forget
everything. This all goes away.
Liar!
Oh!
Erling!
Help me.
Hildy, I got you.
Oh! Erling! Take my hand!
I can't!
Oh!
Give me your hand!
Pull me up quick.
Quick!
Erling!
It starts off small, and then you're in,
and they won't let go of you.
I'm trapped, Hildy.
Ahh!
I'm in, uh, up to my head.
Like you said.
No. Erling, we can
we can work it out. We Please.
Please.
Forgive me, Hildur.
But I can't.
No. Oh!
I can't do it.
No!
No! Erling! No!
Uh...uh...uh...
Ohh!
Ahh. Fuck.
Come on. Ah, fuck!
Someone is hiding them
the Shaman and Elena.
Both of them.
Probably someone in here.
I'm an alcoholic.
Oh ho ho ho...
Dan!
Get fucking finding!
