Original subtitles

A girl is lying on the bed. She is pretty.

6 minutes, 24.3 seconds.

You were faster on Tuesday.

-You should give birth on a Tuesday. -May I help you?

-Not today. Thanks. -Not today either.

I'm sure it's a girl.

Completely sure.

I love you. I'm sure it's a boy.

Hi. The door keeps sliding open.

Siv Bruun.

-Please come in. -Thank you.

Coffee?

No thanks.

You don't drink coffee?

Yes, I do.

-You're going to be a father? -Yes.

In December.

-Congratulations. -Thank you.

My sister...

Margrethe Brinck Monsen.

25 years old. Prostitute.

She has been missing since Friday.

-Why Friday? -I buy her lunch every Friday.

Is she a street prostitute?

No. They come to her house. She lives at Slettebakken.

-What's the address? -Armauer Hansens vei 17.

-You've checked at the apartment? -Nobody's answering the door.

-Any other family? -No.

-No other family? -My mom died two years ago.

-Have you called the E.R.? The hospital? -Yes.

Have you gone to the pol...?

You haven't gone to the police.

Could you call me when you...?

-Are you married? -What?

You and your sister have different surnames. Are you married?

Goodbye.

-Don't do anything stupid. -There is nothing stupid left to do.

Mind if I guess?

Young, naughty, insecure... She's probably missing?

And not from the sunny side of the street? Am I right?

The dark side, that's where I usually look.

Soon there will be no more cats left.

They hang them up and beat them to death.

First they hang them up, then they beat them to death.

Unbelievable.

The cats always belong to old, lonesome ladies.

Young people are a valuable asset.

So, Brinck Monsen...

Margrethe. She's missing since Friday.

She has changed her appearance, cut her hair.

Could you check planes, ships, trains...?

-Not the buses? -And buses.

-Anything else? -No.

They were three siblings.

They came from a fucked up home.

Child welfare services got involved. The neighbours set up a committee.

Led by Lill Mobekk. They gained legal custody of the siblings.

Didn't work out. The kids have been circulating in the system.

1995, don't you remember?

Yourjob back in the old days. Don't you remember anything?

Now I'm disappointed.

-I'll see you. -Behave yourself.

"The good boy at summer camp"...

Who was sent home because...?

"Don't listen to your mother. She's a cow. "

When will you grow up?

When I have kids.

A committee of neighbours were in charge of them.

Brinck Monsen. Do you have the address?

The childhood home.

Can you tie this ribbon on it?

Can you send me the file on them?

Everybody has a file.

Thank heaven for child welfare services.

I'll send you a bottle. Thank you.

What will become of you? A ski jumper?

An opera diva?

Or something similar to your dad?

Nobody has lived there for two years.

Not since Else died.

Okay.

-Eskimo dogs... -No. Huskies.

Huskies have better metabolism.

Eskimo dogs are easier.

Alf Thorvaldsen. I live here. These are my dogs.

The committee... You were one of the guardians of Margrethe Brinck Monsen.

I should have listened to my beloved, deceased wife.

It's like my neighbour Lill says:

One out of three is better than what child welfare has to show for.

Lill Mobekk? Who also was a legal guardian.

Yes. She is one of the neighbours.

-Are they at home? -No.

They're in Stavanger visiting the mother-in-law.

I'm looking for Margrethe.

-Is Maggie missing too? -What do you mean?

KG also vanished. Karl Gunnar, her brother.

He never returned from his leave from prison.

I'm his legal guardian too.

I was there at his trial.

KG almost killed a bartender because he was stingy with the booze.

What did you say your name was?

I didn't say.

-Is this a bad time? -No.

Please come in.

Could you take your shoes off?

Let's have an early dinner instead. I forgot to buy your favourite cheese.

The blouse is beautiful. See you.

Great view.

Any news?

Not much.

You have no family except your sister?

KG never came back from his leave from Friday to Monday.

Your brother ran away from prison the day your sister disappeared. Coincidence?

-Have the police been asking for him? -No.

They went to see Thorvaldsen.

Why are you wasting your time on Thorvaldsen?

Do you have a picture of him?

Of Karl Gunnar?

-It's the only one I have. -I'll look after it.

Do you want more money?

You're bleeding.

So KG never returned to prison?

KG? Yeah, he disappeared. What a pity. He was hungry for steroids.

He holds the house record in bench press. Nice guy. Nice body. Receipt?

Did you bring chocolate?

Otherwise he won't talk. Forget about it.

In case he becomes too unpleasant.

Why -

- do you want me to give you information about KG Brinck Monsen?

I'm looking for his sister. If I find him, I'll find her. Then I'm done.

A shipment of steroids hidden in frozen chickens was to be smuggled into prison.

It disappeared on Friday.

Aren't you taking notes?

KG did the robbery.

Did you pack the chocolate yourself?

Where was the robbery?

So your fingers don't taste of chocolate?

-Do you want to taste my fingers? -No.

Where was the robbery?

-Interchange. -Who did the drugs belong to?

Visiting hours are over.

Who was it?

You don't have that much chocolate, my boy.

Chilli...

You have to respect it. Be afraid of it even.

Capsaicin...

The stuff that burns. A guy called Wilbur Scoville -

- came up with a scale to measure the strength of the chilli.

He dried it, pulverised it -

- and put it under the tongue of his subjects to see the effect.

Tabasco has 30000 capsaicins.

But compared to the strongest chilli, nagajolokia, it's like sugar.

Now let's see.

I want that powder feeling. Get it, Lars?

Nothing.

Lars!

It wasn't me. It was KG!

Nagajolokia, the "ghost chilli"...

It wasn't me. I didn't say anything to anyone.

Where are my chickens?!

Time is running out.

-Is this water? -Yes.

Are you sure?

You knew the robbers. Good.

We went to his sister's flat.

We found my bag there.

The only problem is that my bag is empty.

Now you have a big problem. You must have talked.

You must have. I did not talk. And Rolv only talks nonsense.

So you're the one who talked.

Somebody you know robbed you. So I have to rob you. I have to make an example.

"Sing hallelujah with the fear in your heart. "

Look at me when I'm talking to you!

Let's agree on 1.3, shall we?

1.2, and we're even.

Enjoy yourself.

We put up some cameras when it became illegal to buy sex.

We busted eight drivers in one night.

A robbery was also caught on camera. It's related to Margrethe Brinck Monsen.

Margrethe's brother KG stole steroids which were being smuggled into prison.

Do you know when the robbery took place?

I can play the tape for you.

I have my own people to do that.

Hamre?

Take a break from your cats.

Then you can find out who's smuggling drugs into prison.

The other side.

Can you...?

This is like a gangster film. His name is Lars Mikaelsen.

We know him.

Karl Gunnar Brinck Monsen...

His plan was to go to Amsterdam.

The siblings bought tickets to Amsterdam on Friday. But they never turned up.

You could have called me.

A convict bought plane tickets, but no alarm went off at the police?

The alarm did go off, although a bit late.

-You can stop the tape. -Here?

Yes. And start it again here.

-There you go. -Shit...

It's the future right there.

Not as complicated as I thought.

And the Swedish king? How do you feel about him?

I all for the royal family.

-Why? They have no power. -Thank God, no.

-What's the point of a monarchy then? -Good PR.

Seriously, you have to explain this to me.

The Crown Prince is a nice guy who supports climate issues and stuff.

They're on Twitter.

He's a good guy with a nice title.

Listen to me. M?rtha and Ari...

Now they are people-oriented.

O yes! M?rtha talks to angels, Ari makes peacocks. He is a peacock.

Have you seen the cups he makes?

Case closed. Damn, I love it when I'm right. Shit!

What is it?

Siv...

I believe you.

You know that, right? I believe you.

You are beautiful.

Thank you.

What's with you tonight?

You're not wearing your blouse.

Is that the reason?

I spilled something on it.

I spilled red wine on it.

You're so nice.

Do you want to talk about it?

I don't like talk, Siv.

I've lost something that's mine. I don't like it when people talk.

I know.

You shouldn't pee right under the police surveillance cameras!

I was just delivering chickens! Chickens!

If you need someone to talk to, call me.

I'll give you my card.

Lars?

Can you see anything in there?

Number ten. Maradona, right?

No. It's Rooney.

-Want to play? -Not today. Go down to the field.

Varg Veum... He knew about the robbery.

You're wearing sunglasses.

You're wearing sunglasses indoors.

Rolv? Go down to the basement and check if everything is okay.

Do you want to come?

A witless man, when he meets with men, had best be silent.

Lars?

You owe me!

I'm so fucking tired of your H?vam?l.

It's been a while since the last time? 87? 37?

-I was sent here. -A slight trim.

Oops.

Aren't you becoming a father?

You shouldn't be playing with this guy.

He only plays grown-up games.

I bet he has a sandbox -

- where the Brinck Monsen siblings play with their shovels.

You won't get anything on him. I've tried.

Okay, that's good! I'm very happy.

-Happy with the cut around the ears too? -Yes! Let me see.

Kjell Malthus...

Extremely nasty.

Homicide had to let him go. /had to let him go.

The district attorney said no. Narcotics are on him now.

I have no idea what they're doing.

But they probably don't like having guys like you snooping around.

What a pity.

Malthus may be laundering more than bed sheets.

Do you want to find out?

Do you have anything tangible? Proof, fingerprints? Anything?

I have my intuition.

-What am I supposed to say? -Nothing to say.

Just sitting behind my desk gets really boring.

Beware of Malthus. He has no friends.

Neither have we.

How much is a haircut anyway?

I bet it costs a fortune.

On the cheese platter we have a Saint-Marcellin made from cow's milk.

Do you have pasteurised cheese?

I could get you a pasteurised brie. Eating cheese is less fun when pregnant.

Now, the drinks...

A glass of Sancerre for you, -

- and, following the doctor's advice, some soda water for you. Enjoy.

Delicious.

Varg Veum!

How nice. This is my mother.

You must be his partner, Karin Bj?rge. What a pleasure.

My name is Kjell Malthus.

Look, mom. Good things are on the way. Some people make it happen.

Can I touch it?

I think I felt the baby kick.

Look out for you child. I work in the laundry business.

I've seen what white sheets look like after a miscarriage.

We'll leave you two alone now. Come on, mom. Let's have a good time.

I want to go home.

Hang on.

Tell your boss I hear what he's saying.

The sluggard believes he shall live if the fight he faces not.

You have to leave. It's not safe here.

It's only for a couple of days.

Until I find the girl I'm looking for.

It's going to work out.

Thank you.

Are you up for a little adventure?

There you go, Veum. Karl Gunnar Brinck Monsen, stone dead.

All the parts are from the same body, according to the DNA.

A hobo found this one. He thought it was a bottle.

-Where? -Garbage can at Nordnes.

And the rest?

This was in a trash can outside Parkveien 4 A.

Nyg?rdsh?yden.

This was found in a trash can outside a kindergarten, at Midtbygda.

?sane.

You know Bergen.

This ankle was found among the garbage outside Brann football stadium.

-The dogs were confused. -An ankle doesn't smell like a corpse?

Yes, but there was a strong smell of hot dogs too.

Get it?

Body parts spread all over town. Impossible to see a pattern.

The body parts were wrapped in this?

Yes.

-Meticulous. -Very.

You still think it's Malthus?

He threatened Karin.

Yes, you met his mother. Was that nice?

Yes, we keep an eye on things.

You always have.

Hi.

Okay, listen. A huge property was for sale.

Malthus wanted it. Another crook also wanted it.

Malthus got it. The other crook... Gone.

They found him after six months.

Or rather: what was left of him. He was in a barrel of acid.

Malthus doesn't cut people to pieces, he puts them in acid.

Two friends of mine from Nigeria tell me Malthus has a baboon looking for KG.

Don't we all?

Why should Malthus be looking for KG if he already cut him up?

So the murder has nothing to do with Malthus?

But the killer has Maggie.

Probably.

Please be careful here.

I will.

I'm going to the office to think.

You were given four legal guardians?

Yes.

Alf and Kari Thorvaldsen -

- and Lill and Robert Mobekk, right?

There is a file at child welfare services which describes an incident -

- of you attacking Robert Mobekk with a knife.

-Child welfare services? -I have contacts.

I'm all about contacts. I know these things.

It was an accident. He tried to grab the knife from me. I refused.

Why are you concerned with that old story?

I had a mole removed.

Cut into pieces...

I hope she is in one piece.

He's driving away now. Black SUV.

He's looking for my sister.

Why haven't you told me you have a sister?

This Veum guy is looking for your sister.

But he's also intimidating and molesting my partners. You have to explain that.

-Molesting? -He asks questions.

-About what? -A robbery.

He might be working two cases at once. You're scaring me.

Siv...

You know you can talk to me, right?

Talk to me.

Did you find the sister?

No.

-Are you still looking? -I don't know what I'm looking for.

-Nice place you have here. -Thank you.

Is the baby kicking?

It won't be long now.

I won't let anybody hurt you.

I'll teach you how to tell, in time.

You have to be ready. You're my favourite driver.

I just have to get my helmet at the office first.

Siv...

It's a friend of mine.

He practices here once a week.

Maggie had a client on Friday.

Bob?

After he left she cut her hair off.

Badly. Her braids were left in the shower.

Can you help me, Siv?

I could ask you to show me your arm.

"It's bedtime for the most beautiful girl in the world. "

That's how it always started.

We could be sitting downstairs and he would come in.

"Bedtime for the most beautiful girl in the world. "

She became like a robot and followed him upstairs.

She didn't want any consolation.

She wanted me to make her laugh.

Or she would lock herself in the bathroom.

Cutting off chunks of her hair.

When you pulled a knife on Mobekk... Were you waiting for him with the knife?

That was tough.

I'm afraid of him.

Be quiet!

You and your dogs are the only ones at home.

I'm not going anywhere.

-Coffee? -Yes please. I tried to reach...

Please leave a message after the beep.

Hello Lill. It's Varg Veum again.

Trying to reach your husband. Your foster child Margrethe has disappeared. Call me.

Did you find her?

Robert Mobekk... He has no phone.

No.

Radiation...

He's not in Stavanger either.

Would you like to go for a walk with the dogs one evening?

Whose mother-in-law are they visiting?

You'd better ask her yourself.

Finally.

All is well that ends well...

You're going to love this.

Can you leave your cats for a while?

I talked to the wife.

She's not sure how many weapons he had.

There were at least two rifles and a pistol.

A Luger. His grandfather took it from a German soldier during the war.

His gun cabinet was as secure as...

As a regular closet.

One week from now a clerk at a grocery store will be shaking like a leaf -

- because some teenager on drugs has stuck a Luger in her face.

This is not about a gun theft, it's about him sexually abusing a young girl.

I doubt he will do it again.

This is a fine animal.

So you think Margrethe disappeared on the same day this guy abused her?

Something like that.

And you thought: If I find him, I'll find her.

You did find him, but he was dead, which was too bad.

Is that intuition?

Good.

And please tell me: Why are you at one of my crime scenes again?

He was sitting here, enjoying his Upper Ten...

Highly underestimated.

The Upper Ten whisky is underestimated.

There are many possibilities. But we have to wait for the CSl.

Right now there is nothing here for us.

Or for him.

Did you expect me to start crying? To be sorry that Mobekk is dead?

-Then you don't know me. -No, I don't know you.

You never mentioned your brother when you came to me.

Only Maggie. No family!

It would have been nice if we were more honest with each other.

KG stole drugs from Kjell Malthus. Steroids worth more than NOK 1 million.

Your siblings were going to Amsterdam to get rich.

But when he came to get her, she had been attacked.

They went to Mobekk's to avenge the rape.

I'll get him.

KG killed Mobekk with his bare hands.

That bastard raped your sister one time too many.

I just wanted to help KG and Margrethe run away.

Do you know that Malthus and I are dating?

No.

He talks...

I told KG about the delivery.

I planned it. I planned the robbery.

I like Kjell. He's a swell guy.

But I'm afraid of him.

That's why I went to see you. I thought Kjell had taken him.

Do you think she's alive?

If you had told me all this straight away, I would have been closer.

Hi. I just gave her something to eat and drink.

She has become allergic to the dogs.

Listen...

How old were the children when you started taking care of them?

15, 12 and 10.

9. Maggie was 9.

How is one to react to all this?

Shit happens.

Yes, it does.

You all became legal guardians of these children in 1995?

I hate that head. It's awful.

Yes, we were four people on the committee.

It was Robert and me, and Alf and Kari.

Thorvaldsen lost his wife.

Poor fellow.

It must have been a hard.

You go to Stavanger every second month.

Same hotel...

Same man...

Same room.

Since the wedding night we've only slept together once. Once.

I go to Stavanger to get a little bit of affection six days every second month.

People don't divorce where I come from.

Maggie was attacked and sexually abused in her flat.

Last Friday. Raped.

KG wanted to take vengeance.

It was Robert who raped her.

During her entire childhood.

Didn't you ever notice that she was cutting her hair off?

Robert couldn't have abused her. He wasn't capable of it.

He had a medical condition.

Clinical impotence.

-Why are you protecting him? -I knew nothing!

Nothing.

When I leave on Fridays, he usually sits here with Thorvaldsen.

Alf.

They drink.

And play chess.

They were always sitting here on those Fridays.

You've almost reached Ms. Bruun. Almost. Please leave a message.

I know you talked. I know everything.

It doesn't matter.

The only thing that matters is that you love me.

Next time you're looking for someone, talk to me, not Veum.

He's not worth a damn shit.

We will make it.

Lars?

Hush!

What haven't you told me, Lars? Say it!

Siv Bruun is the sister of KG and Maggie.

Why didn't I know?

Because Siv changed her last name.

It was your woman who planned the rob...

Was I stupid now?

Was I stupid not to see that coming?

-I didn't see it coming either. -No, you didn't.

You were at her place for half an hour.

Maggie... Thorvaldsen...

-Did you fuck her? -No.

Yes, you did. You went to the bathroom afterwards.

They know where I am. I'm going to be a father.

Do you know what's under her blouse?

I'm going to talk to her.

Everything is mendable.

Maybe I will find out what's under her blouse too.

I'm going to be a father.

Enjoy yourself.

Is she alive?

Who was that?

Better to live than to lie a corpse.

Why are you always quoting the H?vam?l?

Listen to me.

My father - the sadist -

- he loved pestering me.

Every day I had to go to his office. And if I didn't know my homework, -

- I got a beating and verses of H?vam?l.

I can thank my father for that.

The memory.

It's a boy.

I only had white wine.

Is she alive?

Your father...

Your father could drink two bottles of hard liquor every day.

You should have left her alone.

Do you know what Maggie did after her big sister moved out?

When her big sister turned 16 and disappeared.

Do you know?

No, you don't.

Does it hurt?

You don't die from it.

It's okay.

It's perfectly okay.

Come.

The freezer.

Hi.

Sorry.

Don't shoot.

Do you remember when we removed your braces?

Don't!

Did you like my braids?

You liked to watch people's faces.

You looked at them...

And then you smiled.

You shone at them. You were beautiful. You are beautiful.

Don't shoot!

Don't give him the pleasure.

How much did you get for your first tooth?

What was it you said to me after you fucked me?

What did you say?

What was it you said to me after you fucked me?!

"The party is not over. There is still cake... "

Well?

3758 grams.

A perfect little boy.

Are you happy?

Yes, very happy.

Did you make it to the hospital?

Did you find the cat killer?

The cat killers. There were two of them.

Two girls aged 13.

The killing wasn't the worst part. The worst was...

What they did first was worse. Computer game addicts...

I also have a present. For you.

Something I found in the freezer.

Look up the butt. It's well stuffed.

Ask Malthus if he misses anything.

Intuition.

I see.

Thank you.

Give some of the finder's reward to the "stray birds" of Bergen.

So you won't have to save them?

Sure you don't want another round?

-Good luck. -More cats to save. More cats.
