A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

People tend to forget who actually keeps
our country safe.

The public might think of the police
officers, which is understandable,

but I think this works more
like in a soccer team.

-Oh?
-Yeah.

The world's greatest team
is completely useless

without the proper coach.

But seriously, I know I've been
hard on you these last few days,

but that's simply because
I know what you're made of.

And it was your firm hand at the helm
that steered this case safely into harbor.

Yes, well...

This horrific case has proven
that our society is no longer

as innocent as it used to be
in the good old days.

As a response, we need
more effective law enforcement.

We need an increased budget
to hire more personnel

and to reinforce
the already dated infrastructure.

Oh, and an internal affairs department
is something I feel we are sorely lacking.

Well, aren't you the perfect candidate
for leading a task force

to establish such a unit?

I would happily accept that assignment.

This is all just...

Listen, it has to be in here somewhere.

-In this one?
-Yeah.

Hey.

Here it is. Staff roster.

-Right?
-Right.

You know what? He's not here.

Perhaps old age is getting
the better of Tryggvi's mind.

Either that, or he only
worked here for a while.

Maybe he was transferred
temporarily from another district.

Was there a local news correspondent
in town at that time?

Sure, Rúna Stef. She was in charge
of those things back then.

-What about a photographer?
-The same woman.

What are you thinking?

I should have some in this box right here.

Is that all of it?

Yes.

The police didn't want me there...

getting in their way, she said.

So I just took a few photographs.

But Rúna, is there any chance
we could borrow your photos?

We promise to take good care of them,
and we'll give them back when we're done.

Sure.

Look at this one.

Oh, no. Here's Magnús.

Is all the data from the report on Tómas

downstairs in storage?

Yes.

Okay. We have to go through everything.

Jesus Christ.

Look here.

What is it?

The handwriting is different, right?

KATRÍN GUNNARSDÓTTIR

Well, I'm no expert,
but these two look very similar.

Don't you agree?

Tryggvi was telling the truth.

So, Magnús was in the search party
and wrote the report on the boy's...

He falsified it.

He hasn't said a single word to me
about his involvement with that case.

We have to send a formal request
for an investigation into Magnús.

What?

That's right.

-His rank is irrelevant here.
-Yeah, but...

If we're wrong about this...

then both our careers
are as good as finished.

But we have to get to the bottom of this.

Magnús is the one who raped those boys?

I don't know.

I'll write the request.

Thank you.

Yes?

Arnar?

The funeral... I'm... I'm so sorry. I...

I just don't understand.

I just wanted to call and...

-Is it him?
-No.

No. No, Leifur, no...

LAUFEY

FANNAR

This is the police. Who am I talking to?

POLICE
AMBULANCE

-Yes?
-Are you still in the country?

-Yes.
-I need to see you.

-Are you there?
-Yeah.

Marshall House.
I'll be there in 30 minutes.

Yeah, okay.

Hi.

Is something wrong?

Fannar is dead.

Suicide.

His mom found him.

Dear God.

I found this on...

-Can I get you anything?
-No, thank you. Not right now.

I noticed this on Fannar.
Just like the one on Viðar.

An identical scar in the same place.

Are you saying that...

-the same man...?
-Þór must've arranged it.

It could explain all that goddamn money.

I also found something.

I'm fairly certain that this...

is the room Tómas was murdered in.

And that this is blood from his killer.

So, I took a closer look
at the report on his disappearance.

I also spoke to a witness.

There was a police car at Valhalla,

the night Tómas went missing,
but it is never mentioned in the report.

What?

Tryggvi, who was the local
chief of police at that time...

-Right.
-...denies any wrongdoing.

-He says a subordinate did this.
-And who was that?

This picture was taken the day after
Tómas' disappearance.

What?

I mean, isn't it a bit strange
that Magnús never told us

that he was involved in the investigation
of Tómas' disappearance?

There must be
a logical explanation for it.

A conflict of interest, or maybe he
didn't want to be removed from the case.

Arnar!

-Can you hear yourself?
-Me? Can you hear yourself?

I mean, what are you implying?
That Magnús falsified the report? Why?

Because he raped those boys?

And what? Did he kill Tómas
and now Guðmundur to cover his tracks?

-I mean, seriously, Kata.
-He knew everything!

And he had every means at his disposal
to do this. Just like with Tómas.

Arnar, sometimes, our judgment is clouded
when it comes to the ones closest to us.

So why is Magnús ordering further
investigations into Guðmundur's case?

-What do you mean? Is he?
-Yes. Yes, he is.

I know you're unhappy
with being put on leave...

Now, wait a second!
This has nothing to do with that.

Are you sure about that?

If you weren't so blinded by your faith
in Magnús, you would see things my way.

-Hi, how's it going?
-I just finished the request.

-Good. Send it in.
-But shouldn't we--?

TO: ELVAR@DISTRICTCOURT.IS
RE: INQUIRY REQUEST

-Elvar.
-Hi, Elvar. It's Hákon from Borgarnes.

Hi! How's it going?

Listen, I just sent you an email.

I just wanted to make sure
that it was safely received.

Yes, hold on. Let me check.

Did you get it?

Is this some sort of joke?

No, and that's precisely
why I decided to call you.

You realize that
you are requesting an investigation

of one of Reykjavík's
highest ranking policemen?

Yes, I realize that.

And the attachment?

Thirty-year-old files.

You're asking me to authorize
an investigation

based on 30-year-old documents?

You know that
the statute of limitations has expired,

unless it's murder
or sexual abuse of a minor.

Yes. But what if it's both?

Hákon? Are you sure
you want to proceed with this?

No.

But my damn conscience
won't accept anything else.

-I'll read through the request.
-Thanks.

Thank you.

-Hi, Hugrún.
-Hi, I thought you left.

No, not yet. Just one quick question.

Did Magnús talk to you about
the investigation of Guðmundur's murder?

Yes, I sent him
all the details yesterday evening.

Okay, great. I just wanted to make sure.

Hi.

-Hi, Óli!
-Hi.

-How are you holding up?
-I'm okay.

How's Kári?

Was he brought in for questioning
because of that fight?

No, that wasn't it. It was...

Did you hear about those boys

who raped a 17-year-old girl
at a party recently?

-Kári isn't connected, is he?
-He was at the party.

I thought perhaps he had
somehow been a part of it.

-What?
-No, he didn't do anything.

He just came down to the station
to identify the boys.

And the fight he had was with them?

Have they been charged?

Yes, they've all been brought in.

Where's Kári now?

Is there anything I can do?

Listen, Hugrún.

I want to ask you to do me a huge favor.

Anything.

Analyze these blood samples
and compare them to the ones from Tómas.

Where did you get this?

I suspect that these samples
could also include the killer's blood.

Kata, you're on leave.

Will you do this for me?

I can't send this to Oslo
without Helga's authorization.

-I know that.
-And Magnús' authorization.

-Since when?
-New regulations.

Everything has to go through him first.

Goddamn it.

-Kata, what's going on?
-Nothing.

Look, I've got to go.

Kata, why don't you grab
something to eat with us?

No, thank you. I have to get going.

-See you. Bye.
-Okay.

-Hákon.
-Hello, my friend.

-We have an answer.
-And?

The request was denied and that's not all.

What do you mean?

Two lawyers from the Ministry of Justice
are on their way to Borgarnes to see you.

They have a written injunction

demanding that you release
all documents to them immediately.

And what, they can just do that?

Hákon.

I'm telling you this as a friend.
Don't rock the boat any further.

What kind of bullshit is this?

These are, quite frankly,
bigger fish than you can fry.

Goddamn, fucking nonsense.

Egill?

Can I talk to you?

What, has something happened?

No, why would you think that?

You never visit me at work.

And if you wish to apologize,
a simple phone call would've sufficed.

No, I didn't come here to apologize.

No, of course you didn't.

I'm sorry. Okay?

I shouldn't have lied to you.
I was wrong to suspect Kári.

I shouldn't have behaved like an asshole.
It's just this case.

I just can't think straight.

Okay. I understand.

How is Kári?

He's just really pissed off with you.

I promise to make it up to him.

-I just have to wrap this case up first.
-You always have to do something first.

It's not like that.

-Egill, I really need your help.
-Really?

Can you run the DNA from these samples
through your database?

It's against the law,
and I would be fired for it.

If you don't help me, this sick bastard,

who's been abusing dozens of young boys,
will go unpunished.

These samples will put him away.

I would lose my job. I can't do it.

These boys were Kári's age.

I can't do it.

-I'm sorry.
-Give Kári a hug from me.

Hi, I hope you've got
some good news for me.

-No, I'm afraid not.
-Oh? Was the request not good enough?

-The request was denied.
-What? Already?

Yes.

It usually takes days to process.

And I'm supposed to turn over
all the files relating to the case.

No!

Obviously, someone of the highest rank
wants to put the lid on this.

Don't do it.

I have to.

Do they know I have copies?

-No.
-Good. Let's keep it that way.

Which judge did you contact, by the way?

POLICE

-Hello.
-Hello.

I just wanted to ask you one thing.
Why was our request denied?

-Let's discuss this in my office.
-No, who denied the request?

It was denied
and there's nothing we can do.

We both know
something is out of place here.

The person I spoke to said
the evidence was insufficient.

Insufficient?

Bullshit!

-Do you really want to discuss this here?
-I want names.

Who denied it?

I don't know.

I sent it to the Ministry for review

and got a phone call 15 minutes later.

Has anything like this
ever happened before?

Tell me!
Has anything like this happened before?

Is this normal?

No.

There is nothing normal about this.

Precisely.

I think so. But maybe we should remind
our listeners of tonight's Spotlight,

where Selma will be speaking to Magnús,
Reykjavík's Police Commissioner,

-about the Valhalla murders.
-Right.

We urge everyone to be careful

out there, whatever you're doing.
Fasten your seat belts and all that...

Wait, aren't you supposed to be in Norway?

I canceled the flight.

But listen, I've been meaning
to talk to you. I need your help.

I'm trying get in touch
with Ragnar Ómarsson.

Oh? Why?

-I just have to ask him a few questions.
-But the case is closed.

It's not directly connected to the case.
I'm just tying up a few loose ends.

I don't have his number,
but I can send it to you.

-Great. Is everything going all right?
-Yeah.

-Everyone's finishing up their reports.
-Right.

And is Guðmundur's murder being looked at?

What do you mean?

-The inconsistencies.
-Inconsistencies?

Magnús didn't talk to you?

No, I haven't seen him
since the press conference.

Really?

-What...?
-One second.

Hugrún? Didn't you send all the files
on Guðmundur to Helga yesterday?

No, not to Helga.
I sent them to Magnús first.

-You sent them to Magnús first?
-Yes.

He asked me to. He was going
to forward it. That's all I know.

Okay, thanks.

Yeah, bye.

Magnús is swamped.

He must have forgotten
to forward them to me.

What are these inconsistencies?

Never mind.

-Later.
-Later.

RAGNARS PHONE NUMBER: 874-2918

This is Ragnar. You know what to do.

Hi, this is Arnar from the police.
Listen, we need to have a little chat.

I think you can assist us with the
investigation into your father's murder.

Talk to you later. Bye.

-Oh, Arnar!
-Hello, Elsa.

-I thought you'd gone back.
-I canceled the flight.

-Is Magnús in?
-No, he's doing a TV interview.

-I see.
-He'll be back in an hour or so.

It's so nice to get
another visit from you.

Aren't you hungry, Arnar?

What?

Elsa, I don't think I've ever
asked you this before,

but why did you and Magnús start
taking in foster children?

Magnús and I...

We had been trying for years,
but nothing seemed to work.

We even went to Sweden,
for very expensive fertility treatments.

We even mortgaged our house.
And nearly lost it.

But it was simply not meant to be.

Then, one day...

Magnús came home very excited
and suggested we become foster parents.

After that, everything changed.

Even our financial troubles
seemed to fade away.

Yes, that's how it started.

And only boys, or what?

Yes, Magnús only wanted boys.

Yeah.

You boys were our family.

That's how we've always felt about it.

Especially you, dear Arnar.

Magnús is constantly telling me
how proud of you he is.

How...?

How old were they, usually?

From ages 10 to 16, like you were.

You were the last one we took in.

We felt we'd had a good run.

God, what am I thinking?
The interview is starting.

Good evening and welcome to Spotlight.

The Valhalla murders have terrified
the entire nation for days,

but now these atrocities
have been brought to an end.

With us tonight is Magnús Sveinsson,
Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police.

Welcome, Magnús.

Thank you.

It's safe to say that you've had
a rough two weeks.

So the first question is:
How are you feeling?

One certainly has
mixed emotions at this time.

This is, of course, a terrible tragedy.
But there is also comfort to be found

in the fact that the case is now closed.

The police were heavily criticized during
the initial stages of the investigation.

-How did you feel about that?
-Well, as I always say,

it's best not to assume anything
until the end.

But in cases of this magnitude, it is

imperative that the police
are allowed to work in peace.

And what's mostly on your mind right now?

I'm grateful to my colleagues
who never gave up.

But...

of course, my thoughts are mainly
with the victims' families.

And is there anything you'd like to say
to those watching at home?

I would like to thank everyone for their
trust as we navigated this complex case.

I know that people were scared,
that they wanted answers.

It can be difficult to keep a cool head
in such conditions,

but most of the Icelandic people
managed it quite well.

This is without doubt the biggest
criminal case in Icelandic history.

Yes, so they say.

But is the case truly closed, Magnús?

Yes, of course the case is closed. Yes.

Are you absolutely certain?

I would like to ask you about one thing.

Are you familiar with
police report number 213B,

filed by the Borgarnes Chief of Police

on January 29th, 1989?

What? What is this?

You didn't answer my question.

-What question?
-Are you familiar with this police report?

It's... It's been such a long time...

This is a report about the search
for Tómas Kristjánsson,

who disappeared from Valhalla
on October 3rd, 1988.

And, as we all know, Tómas' father,
Kristján Jónasson, died a few days ago,

in an altercation with the police,
when he was revealed as the killer,

supposedly avenging his son's death.

And here is a photo of you at Valhalla,
the day after Tómas disappeared.

On October 4th, 1988.

Did you not think it appropriate
to inform your colleagues about

your involvement with this case?

What's going on here?

I did in fact take part in the search
for the missing boy at that time,

but that's all. Why mention that?
A lot of people took part in the search.

You did more than just take part
in the search, didn't you?

I spoke to Tryggvi Sighvatsson,
the former Police Chief in Borgarnes.

He says you doctored the report...

What the hell have you done, Kata?

...and all he did was sign his name.

Is this true?

If his signature is on the report,
then he wrote it.

So, you're saying
this isn't your handwriting?

COMMISSIONER'S SIGNATURE

I'm not a handwriting analyst!

No, and that's why
we reached out to an expert.

He can rule with near-absolute certainty
that you wrote both of these.

So, I'll ask you again!

Did you write the report
on Tómas' disappearance?

Look, I... I have nothing to...

We have it on good authority
that the bulk of this report is false.

What good authority?

We spoke to the residents at Borg,
the farm closest to Valhalla,

as well as men who stayed
at Valhalla at that time.

What do they think they know about it?

Magnús, why did you not disclose
your involvement with Tómas' case?

Did you molest the boys at Valhalla?

Was Tómas murdered?

Arnar, dear.

I think it's best if you leave now.

I just have to... I have to...

-So it all checked out?
-So it seems.

Not sure how this will reflect
on your people.

No, but someone had to do this.
The truth had to get out there.

Kata?

Well done.

-Arnar.
-Hi.

Can I come in?

-Where's Leifur?
-He's at his brother's.

What do you think Mom would say
if she could see us right now?

She can see us.

She's always with us.

I see.

So she didn't actually go to hell then?

Why do you think
she turned her back on all this?

She couldn't live like this anymore.
She couldn't live like you.

Leifur is nothing like our father.

These assholes are all the same.

Why do you allow him to control you?

I'm not like you.

I can't just...

Why don't you leave?

Where could I go?

To me.

-I can't... I can't just...
-I can help you.

What on earth is going on here?

There's nothing going on.
I'm just talking to my sister.

Laufey!

It's highly inappropriate for you
to come here while I'm out of the house.

Come with me.

-I'm going to have to ask you to leave.
-Hey. Don't touch me!

Stop it!

-Come with me.
-Leave this house.

-Get out. I've asked you to leave.
-Eyja...
