-Where should I start? -Begin... wherever you want.
Hi.
[Arnar] Where are you?
On my way now.
Toti and I are at the station with seven boxes of records from the Ministry.
We have to start going through all this.
Yeah, so just wait there.
I'm practically next door.
Okay, bye.
[Helga] Did you find the parents?
[Hugrun] Yes, we did.
What, whose parents?
We need a DNA sample so we can know if these are Tomas' bones.
What's this got to do with the case?
Katrin thinks the bones found in Hvalfjordur belonged to Tomas,
who went missing at Valhalla.
Helga, didn't find any gray cars with broken taillights at the docks
or in Borgarnes.
We just got a bunch of CCTV footage from the mall, and Disa is checking it out now.
I have to go through footage from a number of days so--
So you're saying we have nothing?
Fingerprints? Footprints? DNA? Witnesses?
We got nothing from the Valhalla photos.
We're just trying to make the pieces fit.
-Anything new, I'll let you know. -Okay, thanks.
Here, take this.
-Done with it? -Yeah.
Let's get Disa to help with this.
Yeah.
-Hi. -Hi, can you help us with this?
-Sure, what-- -We need your help.
What are we doing?
We have to find Gudmundur Finnbogason in these files.
And here you go.
This is all just...
-Tea? -Thanks.
[Kata mumbling]
[Arnar] Do you mind? Kata.
Hm?
You're reading out loud.
[Kata mumbling]
Wait! Wait, wait.
Gudmundur Finnbogason.
One of the boys' statements mentions him.
Look, he's right here.
The Gummi who took the photo?
It could be. Here! Gudmundur Finnbogason mentioned again
by another boy.
This is our guy.
No, it's too late. I made up my mind.
-I'm done with this all. -Gummi?
-Hey, I have to go. -Everything cool?
Yes, of course. Why?
-You didn't say goodbye. -I just have to run an errand.
It cannot be taking this long to find Gudmundur's address.
[Erlingur] Well, there are a few of them.
One was born in '45, one in '87, one in '52, 2004, '63, '97...
Sixty-three.
-Address? -Yeah, address is Asparhvarf 15.
Asparhvarf 15?
Yeah, in Kopavogur. And he's a surgeon at the Clinic.
Disa and Toti, go to the Clinic. We'll go to his house.
Helga, have we tried his cellphone?
[Helga] Yes, he isn't answering. What's your ETA?
Yeah, we're almost there. Okay, try calling his house.
Will do.
[phone rings]
Hello.
Yeah, just leaving. Yes, I'll be there.
I'm not sending anything to you. I told you this earlier.
I'll bring it with me.
I just want to tell the truth, come clean with everything.
Listen, I don't have the time to talk to you.
[doorbell rings]
You?
Where is...
[Kata] Gudmundur?
Gudmundur?
This is the police.
Gudmundur, this is the police.
Go, go! Get the crowbar from the trunk.
Gudmundur, do you hear me?
This is the police.
-Out of the way. -We're coming in.
-Okay. -Come on, go.
Push.
He's alive! Call an ambulance!
[Arnar] I need an ambulance, right away. Asparhvarf 15.
Stab wound.
-Suspect is possibly still at the scene. -We're getting help.
-Yes. Okay. -Gudmundur, it's okay.
It's okay. Help is on the way.
Goddamn it!
Get in here, all of you.
Why the hell do we always seem to be trailing one step behind this bastard?
Not only do we have the national commissioner
breathing down all of our necks,
the Minister of Justice is now asking me what
it is the police over here could be lacking!
What it is we could be lacking! What should tell him?
What? Whatever it is, name it, please. What the hell do you people need?
Everyone is doing the best they can.
-Is that right? -Yes.
Could have fooled me.
NATIONAL BROADCASTING SERVICE
He said to me that he was just stepping out, heading here.
Didn't he say something else?
No, he said something about old pictures
that showed the truth about Valhalla.
What about the pictures, have they been found?
They're still examining the crime scene.
We still plan to go ahead with the Valhalla kids, right?
Yeah, I called two yesterday.
-Tomorrow is the interview. -Okay.
What about Petur then?
He can't be reached.
Okay, I'll talk to him.
It's crucial that he's there since he supervised the report.
Be careful here, Selma. I mean extra careful here.
The entire community is devastated.
Half the population is too scared to leave home.
The whole country will be glued to their screens.
Yeah.
Okay.
Hi.
Hey there, I just saw on the news that there's been another murder.
Yeah.
That's just horrifying.
Hm.
Listen... I cooked lasagna for Kari today. I can warm a little up if you want.
Thanks. I'm not hungry.
I talked to Kari this morning.
Oh? What did he say?
Something going on lately?
Nothing that's your business.
He just seems so down these days.
You can always talk to me.
There is something wrong.
He's such a sensitive boy, you know.
Momma, he's 16 years old, just beginning high school, and I'm sure--
Katrin.
Boys need support. They need love at this age.
It's so easy to tell others how to raise their children.
Come again?
You can leave me alone and focus on being a good grandma.
[phone vibrates]
You know we're not supposed to have contact with him.
You coming?
He has the right to know our father has passed away tonight.
Of course.
This just isn't the right time to tell him.
Leave that to us.
Good morning, sleeping beauty.
[Disa] Yeah. Okay, yeah. Okay. Thanks so much. Bye.
Yes. Oh, okay. Yes. Yeah, thank you. Bye.
No, not you?
Okay, yeah. Well, thank you so much. Bye.
Before we start, I'd just like to thank you both for coming in for this interview.
I know this is hard, so we'll take all the time we need.
If there's anything you'd rather not discuss, we'll skip over it. Okay?
Whenever you're ready,
please just tell us what it was like
to stay at Valhalla.
I don't know how to describe it to
anyone who has never experienced something that horrible before.
You're exposed to that at such a young age,
that abuse and violence, beatings and horrible things.
Starts going crazy up there.
Everything you thought you knew about the world and about life...
It really turns out to be a mess.
What's it been like to relive all those horrible things
in light of the murders, where Valhalla is the connection?
Well, I try not to think too much about it...
to not let it affect me.
But, if I'm really being honest...
I don't feel sad at all that they're gone...
after what they put us through.
And you, Benedikt? Do you feel the same way?
Yeah.
Can you tell us anything about the other kids?
You in contact with them anymore?
No, not much contact. Well, it's hard since some are dead.
And others have been in and out of jail for their whole lives.
Well, you have to keep in mind that most of the boys
sent there came from broken families...
and got sent to that hellhole.
Some horrible things that I couldn't even tell my wife.
According to the state's inquiry, Valhalla was a model home.
But your account paints a different picture.
Do you know why that might be?
Well, as for that whole inquiry, it was second rate.
Nobody wanted to listen to us. And so...
We told them everything, and none of it is in that goddamn report.
And still, the beatings weren't even the worst part.
The staff at Valhalla didn't just abuse us physically, they abused us mentally.
They would let a man come...
a few times every month...
late during the night and...
and then he'd rape us.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
I can't do this. I have to go.
Hlynur...
Aegisson...
was abroad.
But, what about these two?
Uh, I'm not quite sure yet.
No, this is taking way too much time.
There has to be a list of all the kids who stayed at Valhalla.
[Arnar] No, there was no list in the files we received.
-No. -No.
Well, then we must have missed something in there.
We have to go through everything again.
Seriously.
And then he'd rape us.
I'm sorry.
I can't do this. I have to go.
Whoa, that's quite intense.
-Did you hear from Petur? -Yeah, he's coming in tomorrow.
Okay, that's amazing work.
Selma.
Yeah, put him through.
Selma.
What?
Who is this?
Well, first we need to call and talk to the police
because this is really a matter of public safety. That comes first.
-Helgi, you know-- -End of discussion.
At least let me speak to the guy.
-It could give us a head start! -Selma!
The police need to know this. Just stay focused.
Or should I do it?
Hey, so Selma just called.
And what?
You're going to the Holmsheidi,
to go question Andres Hauksson.
What does Andres want now?
-He says he knows who the murderer is. -No fucking way.
He just wants a transfer,
because his daughter is in trouble now.
-No, don't think so this time. -Why not?
This is Andres.
-He's one of the Valhalla boys? -So it seems.
Just let me do the talking.
No problem.
-Hi, Arnar. -Hi.
We're good, thanks. Nice to see you.
Ah, I could sure use some coffee.
You guys want coffee?
No, thank you.
You supposedly called state TV with some information on Valhalla.
What can you tell us about?
Milk? Sugar?
Andres, just tell us what you know.
What I know?
What I know is you're full of it.
You want people to think you got it all under control
when you're just as fucked up as the rest of us.
At least here on the inside we can admit that we're all fucked up.
Yeah, I suppose you're absolutely right. We're just as fucked up as you are.
How are you doing in here?
I get by.
Yeah.
I hear you.
One day at a time.
And your daughter?
How is she?
It says here that you have a daughter, 13 years old.
Does she come here? Does she visit you?
What the fuck is all this shit? I'm not here to discuss that.
Don't you say another word about my girl.
Okay, just as I suspected, a waste of time.
Hey, hey. Steini.
-Steini who? -Parole or I say nothing.
You're not in a situation to make demands here.
Kata, I really need parole.
The stuff my daughter is into it, I can't help her in here.
If your information is good enough,
I'll use every resource of mine to help you out.
Steinthor Jonsson, total lunatic.
Steinthor Jonsson is in prison.
He got out just last month.
Why is he the murderer?
That's all he talked about after he found God.
Warrior of Jesus. Eye for an eye. Tooth for a tooth. Life for a life.
Did he specifically say that he was going to kill those people?
He strongly suggested.
I believed him.
Men who commit murder are more likely to kill again.
Steini never did time for murder.
No, he never did time for murder.
What's it like being so stupid?
Who did he kill?
Tommi.
How did he kill Tomas?
I don't know.
He just killed him.
We all knew about it.
Steini beat all the younger kids up.
Tommi was the only one who stood up to him.
When Tommi disappeared, it broke Steini.
In what way?
He stopped hitting us.
He got all introverted then.
Tommi never would've ran away that night.
And why not?
Because that night was cold and dark. A big blinding storm blew in.
Tommi was no idiot.
Now, you can go get me my parole.
Hey, hey. What's going on?
-My parole? -Yes, I'll do my very best.
Your very best? You swore that you would!
If your information was good enough--
If you can't be trusted, bitch, don't...
think for a second that you will survive for long in this world.
-I've got connections out there. -Hey, hey!
Okay, okay. We're good, we're good.
On the ground! On the ground!
Thank you.
Get anything from Andres?
Well, he named Steinthor Jonsson, who apparently you know.
Yeah? What about Steinthor?
One of the Valhalla kids, according to him. Possibly the killer.
Complete bullshit. He still just wants parole.
Well, we still have to check it out.
Yeah.
I'll run a check on Steinthor.
Kata, you have a Dagny and Kristjan to see you.
Tomas' parents.
Ah, yeah, right, of course.
-Should I do it? -No, no. I got it.
Dagny and Kristjan?
-Hello. -Kata.
I'm Kristjan.
It never even occurred to me that this could be our Tomas...
since he was found in Hvalfjordur.
Right now, all we have is a theory,
one we need to verify with DNA tests.
The first tooth my boy lost.
Kristjan was teaching him to ride a bike.
Yeah.
On that day, the bike had no training wheels.
Normally I hold him up...
but that time he said to let go, so I did what he said...
and he fell.
It wasn't serious or anything.
He still lost the tooth.
Thank you.
They said he ran away and died... in the cold.
Kristjan went up there, searched the whole area.
He spent months up there.
We nearly got divorced.
Then...
He was in rehab, so it was just me.
We were just both so caught up in our ourselves, we...
forgot about our child.
He started hanging out with older kids, drinking and smoking.
He was constantly getting in trouble.
So...
CPS took him then.
Do you know if he was in some fight with anyone at Valhalla?
-In a fight? -Uh, what?
He never mentioned any fight to us.
But they kept restrictions on seeing or visiting him, so...
I'm afraid I have to ask you to...
look at these.
Recognize these clothes?
Are these the...
clothes found on the boy in Hvalfjordur?
Yes.
I will contact you as soon as we have the results.
Thirty years.
It took you all 30 years.
I need to get out of here.
Yeah, I'll join you.
-Here's mine. -Ah, yeah.
Freshman now.
Yeah.
So, you like being back on the old island?
Yeah, it's been not too bad so far.
Wait, wasn't your dad sick?
Yeah.
Did you go see him?
Yeah.
Is he seriously ill?
Yeah.
I'm sorry to hear that.
I hope you see him again before you go back to Oslo.
That could be hard.
He just died last night.
I'm so sorry.
Yeah.
Thank you.
-Sorry, could I take a listen to this? -Sure.
It was like living in some... horrible nightmare.
I thought for years that I had just...
must have made it up.
Our drinks were spiked with something, and then we...
and then we'd be raped.
We were taken down to the basement...
into a dark room where you couldn't see anything.
But I remember the sound.
Like dripping water.
Like a shower or a leaky faucet.
And then all the breathing.
And the moaning.
And then he...
left a present for me on my arm with his knife.
These startling accounts confirm that the official Ministry inquiry
does not tell the whole story of Valhalla.
Would you agree with that?
Well, we couldn't really cite
unconfirmed stories and what could be slander
in a report sanctioned by the state.
Are you implying that these men who have now come forward are lying?
No, no, not at all.
Yet the staff always denied all of this.
Why were the staff statements trusted and not these men's?
That's because we were unable to support their claims with any pieces of evidence.
-There was an investigation? -Oh yes, of course.
But you have to agree that this does not look good for the Ministry.
Look, if you're asking if I would do things differently
given another chance, yeah. Yes, I would.
-You take responsibility for this? -I do, yeah.
This is completely sickening.
Arnar.
I have to take care of something.
Okay.
-Hi -Hi.
Katrin, with the Reykjavik police force.
Hello.
Hello, might I be able to ask Telma a few questions.
I thought she was done with questions.
We would just like to be clear on a few details.
Oh? Well, come on in.
Thank you.
I wasn't going to go to the party.
Then my friend called me and told me a boy she liked was going to be there.
So I came with her.
And so, how many kids were there?
Twenty, maybe more. I didn't know everyone.
What happened?
I told myself I wanted to leave when everybody got high.
Because that boy was still there and my friend asked me to stay...
And then what?
Everybody kept drinking.
I smoked outside and started talking with older guys there.
I went back inside.
Everyone was leaving, so I started looking for my friend.
I couldn't find her.
I was really drunk.
So I found a bed and...
fell asleep there.
Every bit can help us here.
When I was waking up...
they were, groping me.
And I froze.
I didn't dare to try to move.
I tried to say something,
but they just rolled me over and started undressing me.
First my pants.
One said he always wanted to take a girl from behind.
And they took turns.
One was on top of me while another one had his hand over my mouth.
I know this is difficult.
With me I have some pictures of boys I'd like to show you.
You don't have to do this, not if you don't want to.
No, no. I can do it.
Do you recognize any of those?
Were any of these boys here the ones who did this?
The two here were there.
And this one here, was he there?
Do you remember if he was there?
I...
[Johanna] That's enough. Stop it!
Was this boy at the party?
Do you remember seeing this one?
Okay, we're done here.
Take a look at this picture. Do you remember if you saw this boy at the party.
-We are done here! -Yeah. Yeah, of course.
Thanks. This will help us.
We'll be in touch with you.
There was one thing.
The one who made the video was wearing a red hoodie.
