Hey, Bianca.
"The centre cannot hold.
"Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world."
Exam time.
- English Lit, Tuesday morning. - Ah.
- Good luck. - (HORN HONKING)
Thank you.
YEVA: What are you doing? HONG: Please, just calm down.
HONG: I just... I want to see your bag. YEVA: No! Get off me!
HONG: I just want to see in the bag. YEVA: No! Get off me!
HONG: I saw you putting carrots in your bag!
YEVA: Get off! HONG: Okay, just let me see.
YEVA: No, get off me.
Okay, you wait now.
You come with me! I'll call the police!
Let her go!
I'll bury this in your fucking skull!
Put the axe down now, Rune!
- (GRUNTING) - (YEVA SOBBING)
That's enough of all this... (GRUNTS)
(GUNSHOT)
Drop the axe 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?

- Where's Stefan? - Stefan's gone, skipper.
Why?
Says he won't put to sea in a death trap.
(CHUCKLES) "A death trap"? What's he talking about?
- What's he talking-- - BIANCA: Mr. Lennox?
MICHAEL: Hey, Bianca.
I did it. Everything you need.
Really?
Lot more fun than the late poems of W. B. Yeats.
(LAUGHS) Way to go, girl!
(BOTH LAUGHING)
Oh, Bianca, you don't know what this means.
You can bring my dad a big fat crab.

That's right.
Okay, then.
Do it.

(CHUCKLES)
Hey, Vince.
(SIGHS)
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 cosigned 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."
(PEN SCRATCHING)
Personally,
I cannot wait to get out of here.
What happened to your face?
Oh, uh...
It's nothing. 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.
NEWS PRESENTER: A full blood aurora occurs
as a result of this mass coronal ejection...
LASZLO: Demoniacal cacophony.
"Voices that never cease."
Children screaming.
They die in the mines.
In the thousands, and little babies, too.
All in the hands of cannibals.
Crunching.
Little bones.
Crunching.
NEWS PRESENTER: 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. - Ah...
Tonight,
he's back on Earth.
Cannibals and demons.
Idiot.
Man's head is full of fairy tales.

Ingrid?
What the hell are you doing?
Someone's...
There's been a terrible accident. (PANTING)
(SIREN WAILING)
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?
PETRA: (GASPING) Ah!
Oh, my. Petra.
(INGRID PANTING)
Let's turn him around.
(BOTH STRAINING)
INGRID: His head is gone.
MICHAEL: Freya! Where are you?
I'm coming!
Michael?
In here.
MICHAEL: Come here.
Help me work this thing.
Can you open that?
I need to print it out.
- What am I looking at? - (CHUCKLES)
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. - (SIGHS)
Don't you worry about a thing, 'cause...
(SINGING) I'm a-going to catch the red king crab
FREYA: Michael.
Baddest bastards on the sea
Oh, cut it out, you lunatic.
Not one of them as bad as me
Oh, put me down before you hurt your stupid back.
Okay. So, the snowplough hit him.
The snowplough hit him.
And the blade of the snowplough sliced off his 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 judgement.
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!
Yeah, 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... - (DOOR OPENS)
Is it Dan?
INGRID: 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 snowplough 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?
PETRA: There's no ID.
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.

VINCENT: 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... 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.
'Cause I... I need to go. I need to leave this place.
I don't think I'm ever going to get better.
I need to find my passport and pack.
You, uh,
come and see me in London.
(CROWS CAWING)
Come on!
(GASPING) Blood.
(PEOPLE CHATTERING)
Thank you, Tomak.
HILDUR: You drinking alone?
Not if you join me.
Haven't got long.
NATALIE: Shit.
HILDUR: Shit.
It's the aurora.
The bloody aurora.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

LAMONT: (ON PHONE) Michael, we're trying to get the boats fuelled up,
but there's a problem.
MICHAEL: What is it?
LAMONT: Axel Fersen's being an arsehole.
Says he can't release the diesel...
Hey, Lamont, I'm... I'm gonna have to call you back.
Freya?
Freya! Freya.
Freya.
What... What happened?
Come here, baby, let's get you in the house.
Come on. Come on.
(STRAINING) Grab my neck.
Oh. Oh, baby. What happened, 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 that light outside my car window.
It's okay, baby.
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. Freya. Frey.
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, make me warm.
You can't call him.
HILDUR: 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?
(WESTERN ACCENT) "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's happened?
Nothing we have to worry about this time, thank God.

Michael.
I need to talk to you.
For some reason, the harbourmaster's 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... 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 favour, Hildy.
I... I wouldn't...
- Michael, I can't do this. - (CELL PHONE RINGING)
I need to get out there.
(MEN SHOUTING ON PHONE)
LAMONT: (ON PHONE) Skipper, it's really kicking off down here.
Fucking Dag Tannar's out for blood, man.
I'll be right there.
(PEOPLE SHOUTING)
Fucking keys now!
I haven't got the keys!
This is your last fucking chance, Fersen.
Give me the keys!
(HORN HONKING)
The keys! Keys!
MICHAEL: Tannar!
For Christ's sake, put him down!
(PANTING)
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 fuelled.
(MEN CHATTERING)
The boats are fuelled,
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.
FREYA: What's this?
- I don't know. - Is it blood?
I don't know what it is. Could be anything.
Sixty degrees it is, then.
Mum, Rune, morning.
She told me what happened.
- Oh. - What happened?
He punched Hildur Odegard.
I didn't punch...
He did what?
- Hit the governor. - RUNE: Accidentally.
Not... Not deliberately.
He punched--
INGRID: It's okay. MICHAEL: What happened?
You all right?
Yeah. My wrist turned, that's all.
I'm fine. I'm fine.
INGRID: Here, Mum. FREYA: I'll do it. I'll do it.
Take me with you.
What?
RUNE: Dad, you're short handed.
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.
INGRID: 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.
(CHUCKLING SOFTLY)
Enjoy the sea, kiddo.
PETRA: 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.
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
I just popped in on my way to the airport.
Sorry, Vincent.
We gotta go.
Sorry. Catch up when you get back.
Yeah?
I... I just came to say goodbye.
I'm heading home for good.
For good?
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.
(PANTING) 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.
KENNEL HAND: I fed them last night and everything was fine.
PETRA: But they were running rampage through the town.
INGRID: A research student was savaged.
KENNEL HAND: (CHUCKLES) I really think you've got the wrong dogs.
PETRA: No. No, we haven't.
KENNEL HAND: The gate is open.
Oh, my God, they are all gone. Like, all the dogs are...
(SCREAMING)
Its spine has...
Has...
The spine has been removed.
MICHAEL: 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 shoutin'.
How much do I get paid?
(CHUCKLES) 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.
- (LAUGHS) - (ALARM RINGING)
DAG: Michael!
Michael Lennox! Your boat!
Huh? Shit!
MICHAEL: Shit!
Shit!
What happened?
- I just... - Give me that.
(FIRE EXTINGUISHER SPRAYING)
(COUGHING)
What the fuck happened, Lamont?
LAMONT: I don't know, skipper. I was... (COUGHING)
I was down below
and smelled smoke.
RUNE: 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.
TECHNICIAN: Goodnight, Natalie.
(DOOR OPENS)
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?
(CHUCKLES)
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."
