POLICE FORENSICS
Thanks.
Well...
the number of stab wounds, the cuts to the eyes...
-Seems to be the same killer. -Time of death?
Hard to say. The cold complicates things. A few days, I would think.
So she could be the first victim.
Judging by the blood in the hall and the marks on her shoes,
he must have dragged her down here while she was still alive.
The first stab wound was inflicted out there.
But as you can see, her blood was spread over a much larger area
than at the other crime scenes.
So he stabs her out in the hallway...
and then drags her, bleeding, between rooms.
What for?
Looks like he sat down over there when he was done.
To watch her die?
No.
It's the room.
What?
She was supposed to die in here.
This room has some particular meaning to him.
Kata.
Yes.
We have to send the body back to Reykjavík
and call Míró back from Oslo with the morning flight.
Isn't it about time Iceland had its own forensic pathologist?
She has to thaw, so we'd have to wait a while anyway.
That was Hákon. He's got a witness on the neighboring farm.
My God! What is going on?
Did you know Brynja personally?
No, not personally.
She'd drive past on her way to Valhalla.
She'd go on walks there.
Can you tell us anything about Valhalla?
No, I don't know much about it.
But I don't think it was a good place.
It must have been hell for those poor boys.
My daughter said she saw two cars driving by the other day.
I didn't think anything of it until I heard what happened.
Pálína is a little shy, so we just have to bear with her.
-Okay. -I'll go to Brynja's house.
Pálína, dear. There are people here to see you.
Their names are Kata and Arnar.
They came all the way from Reykjavík.
They would like to ask you about what you told me the other day.
Do you remember? What you saw?
She's a little shy towards strangers sometimes.
Is it okay if I...?
Yes, of course.
Hi. My name's Kata.
Wow, you sure can draw!
Did you draw all of these pictures?
Do you want to tell me what you told your mom the other day?
About what you saw?
Maybe you could draw a picture of what you saw?
Thank you.
Is that a jeep?
Nice. Did you see anything else?
Is that another jeep?
No, that's a small car.
The killer's car?
Maybe, but you can't use this drawing for an APB.
You don't say.
How many small gray cars do you think exist?
It's still better than nothing.
-If the kid is even telling the truth. -Wow, aren't you the cheerful one!
Ragnar's alibi is solid.
He was in Spain when Brynja went missing.
Ragnar is innocent.
Okay, I'll go to the town archives.
Where are we with the Valhalla boys?
We're just getting started.
-I was about to check our database. -Okay.
-Is it Arnar? -Yes.
-Let me talk to him. -Erlingur wants a word with you.
Hi, Arnar. Listen, I can only access one camera up there.
And?
And nothing. I just have to access the private cameras.
Hold on. Hákon?
Can you help Erlingur find all the private CCTV cameras in town?
Yeah, of course!
Hákon will call you later.
Cool, thanks.
How's it going?
Nobody saw any gray cars. I just have to keep asking around.
I just... I just don't get it.
Brynja, I mean...
Polite and sweet.
Never caused any trouble.
The entire town is in shock. People are terrified.
Who kills an old lady?
Right. Sorry.
Go right ahead.
I'll be in touch with your colleague.
That's right. Valhalla was under local administration, but state-funded.
I'm not sure the files are digital.
They might be in the basement. Let's see here.
Yes. Aisle five.
May I take a look?
Sure, that should be possible.
Did you know Brynja?
Everyone knows everyone in Borgarnes.
-Were you friends? -Friends? No.
-Why not? -We had some history.
I threatened to press charges against her when she was working at the nursing home.
What for?
She was an orderly on my dad's ward and severely neglected him and other patients.
My father ended up in the hospital. I should have pressed the matter further.
Here it is. Aisle five.
The box with the Valhalla files is missing.
All the files on Valhalla were sent to the Ministry of Justice.
Oh, I see.
I'll ask Helga to contact the Ministry about the files and have them sent over.
Arnar?
Yes.
Should I pick you up?
I'll talk to you when you get here.
Listen, I've got the owner here with me. What exactly am I supposed to tell him?
I need to know what kind of compression he uses. Whether he uses
H.264, MPEG-4 or Motion-JPEG. You have to connect it to the server.
-Or you can use a USB-drive. You have one? -Wait...
Wait, wait, I don't understand a single word you're saying.
Maybe it's best if you speak to him yourself? Hold on.
Excuse me, he wants to talk to you about the camera.
Yeah, sure.
-Hello? -Hi, my friend isn't really getting it.
You probably use H.264, MPEG-4 or
-Motion-JPEG for video compression, right? -No.
-Oh? Then you have to connect... -I don't understand.
...to the system. You can use a USB-drive. You should find a file on C:...
He wants to talk to you again. I think he's a little nuts.
-Hello again. -You have to get back there
and find the file. I'm not receiving it. It should be on C:, unless...
-Maybe you should just come here. -Come there? I don't have time for that.
Okay.
ERLINGUR VIDEO
-Hold the door. -Are you sure about this?
Someone's coming.
What should I do?
-Hold her? -It's all good. We'll be out in a minute.
What are you doing?
Could you repeat that, please?
The photograph is obviously the key.
Hugrún is trying to get a fingerprint off the photo we found at Ómar's.
But we need your copy of the photo, right away.
Hello?
Kata? Arnar? Are you there?
Answer me. Hello?
Yes, we're on our way.
Did you check if Þór received a photo?
We're working on it. We're asking Íris about it.
What's the word from the Ministry of Justice?
They have the Valhalla files.
A report was compiled on all the boys' homes in the country a few years back.
-Do we get to see this report? -Yes. They'll send it later today.
I spoke to the man who supervised the compiling of it.
It's Pétur Alfreðsson, the current state prosecutor...
...it's very important now...
-We'll talk when we're back in the city. -No, I'm not done. Like I was...
-Katrín, can we talk? -I don't have time.
Now, Katrín.
What's wrong?
You don't decide when our conversations end.
What?
You know exactly what I'm talking about. I'm responsible for this investigation.
I want to know everything, no matter what, and I'm not going to repeat myself.
Understood?
Yes.
Good.
Pétur is on his way.
Pétur who?
The State Prosecutor, Katrín.
You supervised this report, is that correct?
Yes, yes. I was head of the investigation committee at the time.
I think the title of the report best describes its content.
Every boys' home in the country was examined.
Every single one. Including Valhalla.
-And what were your findings on Valhalla? -An exemplary boys' home.
-No irregularities? -Not really.
Isn't that unusual, considering the home's history?
No, I think people tend to forget that most of the homes were rather well-run.
The same applies to Valhalla, as the report says.
Why is the Valhalla section shorter than the others?
Well, Valhalla only operated from, what, from early 1986 to 1988, so...
Some of the other homes were operational for decades.
A photo taken at Valhalla shows 12 boys,
yet only four men were interviewed for the report.
I think most of them were reluctant to comment on the subject.
Isn't that unusual?
-I'm not the right person to ask. -What do you mean?
I was only asked here to explain the report.
Since the Police Commissioner implied Valhalla was connected to these murders.
You see no connection?
I have no grounds to comment on a murder investigation
that I simply know nothing about.
What a load of crap!
-Katrín! -Three people have been murdered.
And no one is going to tell me Valhalla isn't connected somehow.
No matter what this report says.
Kata. Are you okay?
Yeah.
You're not letting this stuff get to you, are you?
No.
Good. Don't let it.
You're doing a great job.
We're all just doing the best we can.
Hi.
This is insane! Do you have any idea who this madman is?
You know I can't talk about it.
No, I know, but this is insane. My mom doesn't dare to leave the house anymore.
But listen, I spoke to Kári.
Oh, okay. And?
We really don't need to worry about it.
Okay, but what about the fight and the video?
The fight was nothing serious.
And he didn't know anything about a video.
So I think this was all a big fuss over nothing.
Okay. I'm glad to hear it. Thanks for letting me know.
No problem.
-Okay. -Talk to you later.
Yes, and best of luck.
Yes, thank you.
-Bye. -Bye.
Svenni, can you call me a cab?
What do you want, Eyja?
I just wanted to see you.
Does Leifur know where you are?
You read my letter.
I heard that you went to visit Dad.
I miss you.
I think Jóna would like to get to know her uncle.
I have nothing to say to you all.
Eyja.
Five days ago? Yes, I was here. I set out early in the morning.
-Are there any cameras on the boat? -Of course.
Does one of them point in that direction?
Yes.
-Okay, I need to see that footage. -Okay.
This is from the camera facing the pier.
Okay.
-Could you rewind it a little? -Okay.
Stop. Can you play it from there?
Was he attacking him?
-Wait, wait. Could you rewind it a little? -Sure.
Stop. There.
Did he drop something?
Yes.
-Here you go. -Hi.
-Thanks.
This shows us that Þór knew the killer.
Just like Ómar and Brynja.
Right.
The only thing that connects them is Valhalla. Where they all worked.
Yes, it would seem so.
I think our next step should be to talk to all the boys who were at Valhalla.
Yeah.
Hugrún?
-What about the Interpol database? -No, no match.
Okay. But the knife matches the wounds?
Yes, the blade's length and width match the stab wounds.
And no usable prints on the photos?
Sadly, no.
Þór never received a copy?
No, not according to Íris.
It could have been sent to his ex-wife.
I can call you when we have the results.
I'll wait.
What's this?
ICELAND GENETICS
We recently started building a DNA database.
Government officials, police officers and such.
If we should ever need it.
Kata's ex-husband works for the company in charge of the project.
The blood on the knife is human. We'll have to compare it to the victims.
-When will you get the results? -I'll send it to Oslo now.
If you call them, we might perhaps have the results today or tomorrow.
Okay, I'll call them.
Where is Kata, anyway?
Listen, let's be perfectly clear.
You can't show disrespect to people assisting us with the investigation.
Disrespect?
Yes.
You read the report.
It's shoddy work. Every single word is rubbish.
That is completely irrelevant. Your behavior is unacceptable, Katrín.
I called Pétur and apologized to him on your behalf and the department's
and thanked him for his assistance, Katrín.
Katrín! If something like this happens again,
I'll put Arnar in charge of the investigation.
Excuse me. You...
We can't afford to botch the investigation because you can't control your temper.
Is that understood?
Yes.
Good.
That will be all.
What's the status here?
Jóhann Agnarsson died from an overdose nine years ago.
Bjarni Viktor Kjartansson hanged himself 15 years ago.
There's no way Valhalla was a regular place.
Four names. Two dead.
Why is it so difficult to find the boys in the photo?
I just haven't gotten further.
Do you have contact info for these two?
-Yes. -Find them. I need to speak to them.
Yes, I'm right on it.
-Here's the water. -Thank you.
Let's go, honey.
Yes, I'm trying to find Viðar Jónsson.
-I'm trying to figure this out. -No problem.
Hi, I'm sorry, my name is Dísa Geirsdóttir and I'm with the police.
I'm trying to get in touch with Viðar Jónsson, your neighbor.
But doesn't he live in the apartment downstairs from you?
INCIDENT REPORT
Thank you so much. Yes, thank you, goodbye.
Hugrún? I've contacted my colleagues in Norway. They are expecting this. Yes.
Hello?
This is the police. Esther Jónsdóttir?
Is she there?
Are you Fannar?
Yes.
Hello.
I'm Arnar, one of the detectives working on your father's case.
Is your mom at home?
She's asleep.
Could you wake her up? I need to have a word with her.
Yes.
Mom.
Wake up.
There's a cop here. He wants to talk to you.
Mom?
When mom is asleep, it's almost impossible to wake her up.
Okay.
Listen.
Could you ask her to call me when she wakes up?
Okay.
Hey, one quick question.
Did your dad get any mail sent here?
Yes.
Really? Okay.
Could I possibly see it?
Hey.
Is Valkyrie any good?
It's okay.
Yeah.
I played EVE for years.
Okay. Do you wanna try it?
No, thank you.
Maybe later.
Cool.
Did you ever play with your dad?
Here it is.
May I?
Yes.
ÞÓR INGIMARSSON
When did this letter arrive?
A few weeks ago.
It's a photograph.
Did you look at it?
Yes.
Did you recognize your dad?
Yes.
-Do you recognize anyone else? -No.
Do you know if your dad had any enemies?
No, I don't think so.
No.
There was this one guy who attacked Dad in the food court at the mall, though.
-What do you mean? Attacked him how? -He screamed at him and threatened him.
Oh, when was this?
About two or three weeks ago, or something.
You know what? Show me how the game works.
-Okay. -Okay.
-You press this to go forward. See? -Yes.
-You have to hold this button down. -Right.
Go down.
Right.
Just try it. This is the accelerator.
Then he goes back a bit. Try. But you'll have to press this button to go forward.
Right.
Hi, check the security cameras in the food court at the mall,
three weeks back, give or take a week. And search for Þór.
And have the Child Protection Agency check on Fannar Þórsson's condition for me.
Thanks. Later.
Kata, are you all right?
What? Yes.
Are you sure?
Yeah, I just needed a quick time-out.
You're not overworking yourself, are you?
I'm just working very long hours.
Kata, something is bugging you. I can tell.
What would you do if little Óli got mixed up with the wrong crowd?
Or, you know, later in life.
What do you mean?
Just, if you knew there was... Or if there possibly was something...
Oh, I don't know.
Kata, has something happened to Kári?
No.
Or... well, he got into a fight at school and I'm not quite sure how to handle it.
Kata. You almost gave me a heart attack. I thought something horrible had happened.
Don't worry about him. He's a great kid. It's just a thing boys have to go through.
It's called hormones.
But you would do anything to help your child, wouldn't you?
No doubt about it.
Exactly.
There you are.
I found another photo at Þór's ex-wife's.
-Okay. -Fantastic.
Listen, since I've got you both here, follow me.
All three letters were mailed from the post office at Mjódd three weeks ago.
Okay.
Erlingur is checking the CCTV footage from the area.
Now look at this.
A gray car obviously backed into the fence outside Valhalla.
Didn't the little girl draw a gray car?
-One of the taillights was broken. -Assuming Brynja was the first victim,
we should be on the lookout for a gray car with a broken taillight.
Hey, we found addresses and phone numbers for Benedikt and Viðar.
So, how should we do this?
Do what?
Do we talk to Viðar or Benedikt first?
Shouldn't we just talk to one each?
-Yes. -Which one do you want?
Viðar.
Okay.
Hello, Viðar.
We spoke on the phone earlier. I'm from the CID.
As I mentioned earlier, I need to ask you a few questions
regarding a certain matter.
Could you describe Valhalla to me?
How were you boys treated there? I know it's been a long time,
and must be difficult to remember, but it would be really helpful.
How were we treated there?
That simply depended on the day and what kind of mood they were in.
Some of us were severely beaten, but others not so much.
Is that what you wanted to hear?
Or do you want to hear about the time they broke my arm for spilling something?
Or when Mom and Dad came to visit me on my birthday, and I was locked up?
And they were told I was out riding?
Or during the evening, when they would take a boy and...
Where were the police then? Or the Child Protection Agency?
Where were you?
-Well, of course, I wasn't... -And everything is just dandy now, right?
I told those report-writers everything, and what did you do about it? Nothing!
Can I show you a photograph?
There we are, every last one of us.
So young and stupid.
Could you name anyone in the photo for me?
Tommi. He was always running away.
I should have run away with him.
Are you in touch with him today?
Tommi?
He disappeared.
When?
Well, at Valhalla.
Do you remember his full name?
No, he was always just called "Tommi."
Some of the boys thought perhaps he made it to town. But I don't know.
He must have fallen into a crevice.
He simply vanished.
I called the station a few days ago.
-You called? What do you mean? -Yes, I called.
I waited until I was cut off. So I called again and waited.
And then some woman wrote down my number.
Not a particularly efficient system you've got there.
It took you, what, a week to get here?
I called and said I had some information about Valhalla.
Would you be willing to share that information with me now?
Do you want to know the truth?
You know, everyone around me is walking on eggshells because of this.
But I'm glad that someone decided to kill those people.
Could you tell me where you were on November 8, 14 and 15?
Right here.
Can anyone verify that?
Yes, sure.
My colleagues can confirm that I was here on all those dates.
Okay.
Have you seen this photograph before?
Valhalla.
Complete hell on earth.
Do you remember the boys' names?
Jói, Hlynur.
Tommi.
Do you remember any full names?
No.
We were just kids.
And what about the staff?
Þór.
Ómar.
And Brynja.
Oh, yes...
and then there was Gummi.
Gummi?
Yeah, he worked there for a few months.
Gummi was the only one who treated us boys kindly.
And he's not in the photo, or...?
No.
He was the one who took the picture.
-I haven't had time to go through it all. -That's okay.
But tell me, wasn't he wearing a green coat when he was found?
Yes, that's correct.
No.
And you think the bones belong to this boy?
Hi, you are not going to believe this.
Kata. There was another employee.
There was another person working at Valhalla.
We have to find him right away.
