So why am I not trusted to investigate this case?
We decided to get an experienced detective to back you up.
An experienced detective?
Not to take charge, just to help you out.
I know these people I was there when I was a kid.
That should speed things up. I need your experience.
This is more than just an accident.
Some dynamite and a detonator were stolen.
It was at least one full box.
Lauga said she saw the Moon of Urd.
Excuse me. Have you started you own investigation?
No, I just...
Just to make it clear, I'm leading this investigaion.
That's clear.
There are no explanations. - There is always an explanation.
They were off work for the weekend.
We have no idea what Snorri was doing there.
It was sabotage, nothing else.
You can pay off a lot of debt with that.
Are you accusing me of trying to get insurance money...
by injuring my son?
I have got nothing against Snorri, but his father is an arsehole.
Larus!
And then he blames me for the accident.
Why?
He wants me bankrupt.
Where the hell were you? I kept calling you.
I lost the damn phone.
These people chain themselves to the machines to stall the project.
They've got the dog sniffing around.
This is political persecution.
Mom is hoping that. You find a woman.
Hi Helgi. It's Marin. I'm waiting for you at the cinema.
The Commissioner has decided that work can start at the cliff tomorrow.
Doesn't anyone give a damn?
Isn't the boy with you?
So how are you feeling, Helgi? - I'm fine.
No one's fine who has to bury his child.
So you know the names of all the elves and ghosts.
No. I don't. But I would not have taken that rock.
We'll try to wake him in two days.
Code blue in number seven!
One milligram of adrenalin.
Helgi! Yes.
I'm coming.
What's going on?
The boy in the digger is dead.
What happened? - Cardiac arrest.
Is that normal?
You never know when people are so severely injured.
The body is under a lot of pressure.
The post mortem might shed some light on it.
Weren't you going to wake him up tomorrow?
Yes. That was the plan.
But there was someone else there who stole the explosives.
That's a different matter. It's being investigated.
We'll close this as an accident
so people can go back to work. - We don't think this was an accident.
The only thing you have is the phone call...
...that Snorri couldn't have made, right?
It's almost impossible. - Almost? What do you mean?
Every day costs a fortune. The contractor is paying daily fines...
...and the powerline team is being held back.
From when he put the phone down...
...he had fifty seconds to do everything and that's not possible.
With all due respect for you and
Inga. - Yes. Inga.
I'll talk to the Commissioner and he'll make a decision.
Okay.
Just do what you have to do. We've authorised the autopsy.
They found Snorri's necklace on the floor.
...lt must have fallen when they tried to resuscitate him last night.
It's not his. I've got his here.
This is the same medal. Do you know why it's been snapped in half?
We were discussing that. He said he gave one half to somebody.
He and Larus were always going to horse tournaments.
Snorri usually got first prize and Lárus came second or third.
Something happened to Larus's horse.
Snorri felt that he should have won.
I think he gave Larus the other half.
Did he visit Snorri at the hospital? - No, not as far as I'm aware.
Do you have any idea who might have brought this?
No.
Did you tell anyone that Snorri was supposed to be woken up today?
Yes. Veigar.
You don't think there was someone who didn't want him to wake up?
Of course. If someone was afraid of what he might say.
Anna knew. She could have told Larus.
Veigar, you don't think that Larus? - I don't know. Do you?
What are you thinking? - I'm helping you out...
With the investigation that you helped stop yesterday.
It wasn't my decision. Besides, things have changed.
Snorri is dead...
...and someone brought the second half of the medal.
Do you think the investigation will continue?
- Yes. I spoke to the Chief and he talked to the Commissioner.
The explosives have not yet been found. We'll continue.
We? - You. This is your case.
Eydis is my friend. You're too close to these people.
I was walking down the hallway and saw a woman going to the ICU.
Are you sure it was a woman? - Yes. I know the difference.
What time was this? - Around 11.30, midnight.
Are you sure about the time?
Yes. I went to get a trolley that had been left behind.
Can you describe this woman? - Yes. She was in a hurry.
She was wearing a light-coloured coat.
She was coming out of the lift when I was on my way there.
How tall was she? Hair colour?
It was a young woman. Medium height. Dark blond hair.
Did you see her go into the ICU?
No. The lift was open so I walked straight in.
Are you looking for Halldora?
Yes.
We are from the police. - I see.
Dora hasn't been home since yesterday.
She had a bag so I guess she was going away somewhere.
Did she say where? - No. We don't talk much...
but this place is not sound-proof so we do hear each other a bit.
Does she live here alone? - Yes. During the day anyway.
Want to go inside? I have a key. She's my tenant.
No thanks Ask her to get in touch if you see her.
Do you know if she was home last Friday night?
Yes. She even came back early. Around midnight.
What followed was no massage. - So there was somebody with her?
I didn't really see him but I heard them.
Do you know who it was? - No.
No. I woke up in the middle of the night and saw him drive away.
Did you see what sort of car it was? - A grey pick-up.
Do you remember when this was? - Around 2 AM.
Excuse me.
Do you live here as well? - Yes. Upstairs.
Do you want to come in? - No.
What did this man look like? Did you see anything?
No, I just saw him speed away. - Yes. Okay.
Helgi! Listen...
...my son hurt himself at the kindergarten so I have to go.
I'm coming. Thank you for your time. Goodbye.
Any news from the autopsy? - The autopsy?
We don't have a final report. Just cardiac arrest.
No injuries that are not related to the accident.
So the person that brought the medal didn't do anything else?
It doesn't look like it.
There's a meeting in half an hour. - Orri.
The boy is dead and it may be a murder case.
They sent a man from Reykjavik to work with me. He's waiting.
Can't he take care of it alone? Today I mean?
I'm under close scrutiny. Don't you get it.
Listen... I'll call my mum and you'll take him there...
...when he's been checked out at the clinic.
All the candidates will be there. - Just go then.
I have to go.
Helgi. I have to take him to the clinic.
That's no problem. It's on the way.
Alright.
I'll see you there.
He's got a small bump on the neck but otherwise he's fine.
Great.
You visited Snorri at the hospital last night, didn't you?
Yes. I dropped by.
When was that? Around midnight? - No. Much earlier.
Around eight.
Did you stay long? - About an hour.
I must have left just after nine.
Do you remember what sort of jacket you were wearing?
Jacket?
A simple, light-coloured jacket from Zara.
Do you recognise this?
Yes. This is a medal that Snorri always wore.
Do you happen to know who owns the other half?
No, I... - Could it be Larus?
No, no. Larus doesn't own anything like this.
Inga...
...showing people evidence doesn't get us anywhere...
...unless we are conducting a proper interrogation.
She was really taken aback when she saw the medal
...but if I was going to make sure that Snorri didn't wake up...
...I wouldn't leave something behind that could be linked to me.
Unless you wanted to direct suspicion towards someone else.
Can you, please? - Yes.
Oh, God. I'm sorry. - It's okay.
I didn't mean to. - It's okay.
I have to take him to his grandma.
Shall we try Halldora again later? - Yes.
Shall we say around 2? - Yes.
I was wondering if you recognised this phone number...
...929-2279.
You're wasting your time.
We're in rural Iceland. A bit of jealousy and envy is normal.
This was an accident and I don't want my son's memory to be linked...
...to a crime or a murder case.
Have you seen this?
DIGGER OPERATOR MURDERED?
No. - No.
These hacks only want to create headlines that sell.
I don't know where the paper got this from. They're making it up.
You should stop it. It doesn't matter what you find. He's dead...
and I just want to be left in peace to give him a beautiful funeral.
It's not my decision. - You write the report.
Inga writes the report. - But you can have a say in it.
I can't stop the investigation. Inga's in control.
I was wondering, would it be alright if I had a look at Snorri's room?
You like her.
Who? - This woman.
Inga? No, no.
First of all she's married and secondly I'm not attracted to her.
Fine. But it suits you.
It's my old room. You know your way.
Halldora Reynisdottir? - Yes.
We're from the police.
Can we come in and talk for a minute?
I don't believe it.
Had you been seeing each other for long?
Almost a year.
But it wasn't working.
I didn't want to live on a farm and...
...he couldn't imagine living anywhere else.
Did you see Snorri on the night of the accident?
No, I was at a friend's house. I was home in bed by midnight.
Alone?
Yes.
What's your friend's name?
Bara...
Where does she live? - Geirsdottir?
Birkivellir 4.
Did you visit Snorri in the hospital? - No, I'm afraid not.
I couldn't cope. And I wasn't really welcome there.
Why not? - His parents don't speak to me.
They always thought I was stealing their only son.
Where were you last night? - Yesterday?
Yes. Hermann downstairs said that you went away.
I was with my sister, in Reykjavik. - Can we verify that.
Rosa. Raudalaekur 53.
Didn't you hear about it on the radio? -No.
You didn't see the papers?
No. I'm just hearing this now.
Excuse me. I'm going to get the phone.
Did you tell us where you were this morning?
Yes. At my sister's.
I can see that you've marked the day in your calendar.
That's not any of your business. I run a massage parlour.
Now I want you to go.
What are you doing here? - I'm just trying to fix the radiator.
Didn't you do that yesterday? - Yes, but it's broken. Not my fault.
Do you recognise the number 9292279?
No. - Are you sure?
Yes.
That's all.
Were you wearing this jacket last night?
Yes, so what?
Thanks.
Can I have a massage? - No, Hermann.
No. But the circle is growing bigger if anything.
You need to get to the bottom of this soon.
We'd get this done quicker if we had more people on the case.
Helgi, you know that the budget does not allow it.
Have they found the person that the mother saw?
Not yet. - You must speed things up.
I'll speak to you later. Bye.
I've started printing things out
and I booked two rooms for us if we wanted to stay here.
Okay.
Shall we go over this. Dora.
Yes, she's hiding something.
She knew who's phone number it was.
She's also lying about being alone because Hermann heard someone.
He saw the grey pick-up drive away at 2 am so if we assume that...
...Snorri was in the car he must have been heading...
...straight for the cliff. But why?
And why is Dora lying?
Maybe they were arguing and he stormed out.
Yes, but we can pretty much rule out suicide...
...because there was probably someone else by the cliff.
Dora does not have a record and the bar and parlour are clean.
I'm still wondering why she'd marked today on the calendar.
Could she have known that they were waking Snorri?
No. It could have been anything.
Larus. He doesn't have any alibi...
...and the lighter that we found by the cliff... is probably his.
And he's a competitor.
This medal.
Eydis and Veigar say that Larus got this half but Anna denies that.
I think we should look into this more.
Find out if anything suspicious happened at the hospital.
There was nothing suspicious. It was just cardiac arrest.
Have you seen the autopsy report? - No, but we should wait with this.
Yes, let's keep it open.
Anna. - She and Snorri used to be a couple.
What? - I found this letter here.
"Dear Snorri. I don't know what to say but I want to say so much.
My heart hurts. We shared so many moments."
Then it says down here.
"This is something we'll always have together and can't be destroyed.
Where did you get this? - In Snorri's room.
It's from when they were teenagers. Backstreet Boys.
This is Robbie Williams, right here. - No, he was in Take That.
So they were a couple.
Shouldn't we go to this meeting tonight?
No. Orri will be there and I know exactly what he'll be saying.
My towering, beautiful cliff!
Excuse me. What are you doing here? - What?
Isn't anyone free to park here?
You're aware that all work in the area is banned.
Yes. I was told that they were starting again tomorrow...
...and then I'm supposed to be blowing up the cliff.
You will not be doing anything until they've lifted the ban.
Is that clear? - Yes.
Una! - What?
I'll go speak to him.
You are Una, aren't you?
Yes. I'm in your books. I climbed up the mast down there.
I see.
Do you think this place will be flooded?
- That's what they want.
This has to be stopped.
They cannot commit more environmental murders.
Fucking industry.
Do you know Snorri?
He has sometimes given me a lift home from dances.
If he's not with Dora.
He always drives. He doesn't drink. - What about last night.
I got a lift with Ulfur. On the bike.
Let's go.
Aslaug.
Hello!
Even though I'm old, and the house too, it's not a museum for tourists.
My name is Inga Aradottir and... - Yes. I know who you are.
But what you are doing here. - I came to see you.
No one came to the door and it was open so I...
...thought something had happened. - You hardly thought...
...I was lying dead in a locked room?
No.
Well. I'm going to make some coffee. Come on.
Ulfur had been coming here so often to help me out...
...that I offered him that room.
He doesn't get along with his brother.
Is everyone happy about him seeing that girl?
Aren't you worried that she might get pregnant?
From my experience nothing is more remarkable than...
...when two people truly love each other.
That's rare and I don't intend to spoil it.
Weren't Anna and Snorri a couple once?
Who says that? - They were, weren't they?
Snorri was a good boy. He couldn't help the way his father is.
Ladies and gentlemen. Although we are all devastated by this accident...
...we must not let grief make us lose sight of...
...our common goal of giving this region a better future.
I know I speak for many when I say that it's important...
...that this job is on schedule.
Otherwise plans to strengthen energy distribution all around the...
...country could be jeopardised.
Where does this region then stand, with regards to employment?
Thank you.
Where is your stuff?
I don't think we should go. How am I supposed to catch the bus?
I just think it is a bit lame to be leaving now.
You never have the courage to do anything anyway.
Even if people deny it in public,
everyone knows this line is the beginning of their next project...
...to build a hydro-electric plant in this region.
This line will destroy the cliff, the dam will flood the waterfalls.
This will put an end to all tourism in the area.
That's right! - Thank you.
I've told you where the explosives are and...
...you can read all about how to do this on the Internet.
I'm not that into you.
Do you think I enjoy having sex with you...
...in that stupid room at this old woman's house?
Cut it out, Una.
Una. Come on. Una!
Una... Una!
I know the cliff well enough to know that there will be no rest...
...unless we make peace with those who live there.
I suggest that we put all work in the area on hold...
...and set up a meeting with a medium
...or someone who can contact someone on the other side.
Let's vote on this proposal.
Those who agree raise their hand.
Hi, what's up?
We're at home going over things after the meeting.
Will you be long? - No, but we'll go on for a bit.
Are you staying up there tonight? - I don't know.
Is Olof there? - Yes.
Is she there! - Of course. So what.
Just wondering. You know me better than that!
Yes. I'll speak to you later. - Bye.
And what does this mean?
Well, it means that Snorri went into cardiac arrest...
...about an hour after his last dose of medication.
According to the day plan and the medication record...
...there was nothing unusual about this dose.
I see. - Are you coming back tonight?
No, I'm staying. - When are you coming?
I don't know.
- You can tell me if you just want to forget about this.
Marin. I'm working. - Okay. We'll be in touch.
Okay.
Damn, you're lame.
Hi. - I thought you'd gone home.
No, I thought you were going back to Reykjavik.
Did you go to the meeting? - Orri did well.
I met Lauga. - How was that?
Good. I saw a really cute picture of you and Eydis.
Really? - First love?
They decided to get a medium...
...to make a deal with the hidden people about finishing this.
Have you tried the hotel bar? - No.
Shall we?
Yes.
Didn't you go abroad to study after you finished the academy?
Yes.
FBI? - No. But I did a one-week
...fingerprint course there once. - Okay.
I studied in Sweden. Malmo.
Malmo. - It was good.
That's great. Really great.
This is a nice place.
And when will we be paid for the land. - Next year.
It's always paid afterwards. - That's if we haven't lost the land.
When did you last make a payment on the loan?
They're threatening us with repossession. Veigar.
You have to make a deal with Larus about the digger...
I've already done it He's starting tomorrow.
We don't get the first payment until we have finished.
I'll end up having to hand over the job.
Damn Lauga has cursed us.
Since when do you believe in that sort of thing?
What the hell are you supposed to believe?
Our most valuable horse dies. My hand keeps getting worse.
Then the boy kills himself. - Don't say that. It isn't true.
So what the hell was he doing there in the middle of the night?
And that damned slut from the bar, with the massage parlour.
And it doesn't help how you've been acting.
Always listening to his whining.
You let him feel sorry for himself until he gave up.
So, have you and Marin been together for long?
We are not together. No, why did you think that?
I don't know. I just... - Was someone talking about it?
No, we're just friends.
Will you not have to move to Reykjavik when Orri becomes an MP?
Have you applied for a job? - Yes. But I haven't heard anything.
Thanks again for today. - No problem. How's he doing?
Fine. - Cute boy.
Yes. He's adorable.
I don't understand how you can do this.
What?
I don't know what I would do if I lost Valur.
Life goes on. That's they way it is.
What? Are you sleeping outside? It's cold. Come on.
Come inside. What's wrong with you?
Come inside.
Did you see this, Ulfur?
What? No, I just heard a noise. Is everything alright?
Mum?
Is dad going to work at the cliff tomorrow?
Yes... now he finally gets a chance to use his fancy digger.
But it's dangerous. - No, it isn't.
Daddy is always careful. Remember, he went to the school.
The car will be completely crushed.
No, sweetheart. You just had a bad dream
No. - Yes. Come on.
It's all going to be fine. Let's try to get some sleep.
Have you seen my boots? - No, are they not there?
Has Ulfur taken them again?
No, no. But aren't you just getting in the digger anyway?
It's really muddy there.
If you see Ulfur tell him that Hildur is looking for Una.
Yes.
Be careful. Nonni had a bad dream last night.
Have you been up for long?
About the plan on the medication doses and the autopsy report.
It confirms that he died of his injuries.
It could also mean that someone wanted it to look that way.
What do you mean?
Potassium. He was getting Potassium intravenously.
Isn't that normal?
Yes, but wait. Potassium is necessary in small doses...
...but if you get too much you have a heart attack...
...because the system can't cope. - But there wasn't too much.
No, but you wouldn't see it.
Potassium leaves the body in 12 to 24 hours...
...and after that it's impossible to trace.
This is really far-fetched.
How do you know these things?
Some biochemical course I took in Malmo.
What's that?
That footprint on the running board was compressor oil.
And it wasn't Snorri's footprint.
The only place where this oil could be found in so much quantity...
...was inside the digger...
...so it confirms there was a third person...
...that went into the pickup.
And he'd previously been in the digger...
...and must have called the unregistered number.
Did you have this compared? - Yes.
Great.
Inga.
Yes. We'll be there. Bye.
Have you seen daddy's boots?
Where are they?
Under my bed.
Helga.
It will be fine as long as he isn't wearing the boots.
LEAVE ME ALONE!
Protect the cliff! ...Protect the cliff!
Protect the cliff!
You have to clean up in this area.
Gunnar in Holt helps these scum and if he brings them up here again...
...I insist that you arrest him.
Relax. We have it all under control. - Under control!?
Are you completely blind, god dammit?
Boys! Coffee!
Coffee!
Robert. Still. Robert...
...Robert, bring the glove. Come here Robert.
Nonni dear.
I saw Ulfur earlier. He's on his way here.
Will you ask him to call Hildur? - Okay.
Are you alright, sweetheart? - Yes.
Bye Helga. - See you later.
Robert. Come on.
Robert, come eat.
Come! What's wrong with this dog?
What the hell?
Yes.
Hey! - What does he want?
Get out of the car! - What does he want?
Watch out!
Get out of the car!
