Elle?

Where you going?

Elle, fucking dick tease! You're always running off!

You think you're so much better than everyone else!

Hello?

I can't hear... The line's bad...

Hello?

What are you doing?

You know I always sit up and wait for you.

Ok, I'm going to bed.

How did you get home? Where were you?

I have to be allowed to go to a party like other normal people.

Other "normal people" don't have an important job waiting for them.

-And responsibilities. -Good night.

The classic...

...serial killer is a man.

And his victims, so called soft targets...

...are women.

Something happened early in his life

and now he wants revenge...

on women.

It is not spontaneous.

It is planned.

It is fantasies that he's turned into reality.

The police are frighteningly often

unable to see connections between different cases.

And the leaders of the investigations

are men.

Just as the killer is a man.

And the victims are women.

Soft targets.

Girls.

And this happens over and over again.

But the worst of all

is this wall of ignorance you meet as a woman

when you try to speak up.

Men listen to woman only as an obligation.

But not if they don't have to.

And that is perhaps

the most frightening part.

And what it makes it possible for a serial offender

to develop.

From a disturbed young boy...

into a sadistic, full-blooded serial killer.

I asked you to not be so personal in your lecture.

Has there been another complaint?

Yeah.

Some of the students think you're too... involved.

That you don't have enough distance.

You're scaring them, Maja.

You need to take it down a bit.

You know, it doesn't take much to create a storm these days.

Isn't that exactly what academia needs?

That women and other under- represented groups contribute

based on their experiences?

That's not what we're talking about and you know it's not.

Are you talking to me as the professor and my tutor...

... or as my boyfriend now?

What is this?

Why are you so aggressive?

Can't you just take good advice?

Don't draw personal experiences and

repressed anger

into your work at the University.

Alright.

I'll suppress myself and keep my mouth shut from now on.

Fuck sake.

I found a mobile in the snow on the way home.

It rang, but...

Something could have happened to whoever owns the phone.

But I don't know whose it is.

Yeah, OK.

There's always something else. Always something more exciting than this.

Hello?

This is Elle, who is it?

Sofie? Is that you?

Have you gone away already? Sofie?

No, this is Elle.

I can't hear you. Call when you're there.

This is Elle, I found...

Hello?

-Hi! -Hi! Is Sofie home?

Have you heard from her?

No, I haven't.

Did she not come home yesterday?

She left the party way before me.

I found this.

You can give that to her.

She always goes off for a few days at a time.

She's likely with some friends or a boyfriend.

I'm sure you'll see her first.

Was it you who called Sofie?

Do you know where she might have gone?

Has she received any messages?

Has she talked with anyone on the phone?

-Do you know if anything has happened? -Why are you doing this?

I'm scared that something might have happened with her.

And nobody's doing anything.

She told me that she was going to leave.

Leave? Where to?

A hotel, I think.

Hotel?

Some kids saw some lights in the tent by the caravan.

"Some kids saw some lights."

And it's still closed for winter here?

Yes.

Go and talk with her.

OK?

Female. Partly undressed.

Between 15 and 25 years old. Killed.

Probably strangled. I think I see some marks around her neck.

She's been lying here for a while. It looks bad.

So Roy Eliassen has just been convicted of aggrevated assault.

He's out on probation, and it would be typical of him to mess it up.

We should talk to him.

Fuck, look at it.

It's a lot worse than last time.

They live here?

Lets check the back first.

What the hell is this?

Where is Roy?

-What do you want with Roy? -I need to talk to him.

Why is that? Has he done something wrong?

That's what I want to talk to him about! Where is he?

Hey! Stop!

Roy! Relax! We just want to talk to you.

See this.

It's where I come from.

In your hometown?

Town? It's more a village.

The girl was found strangled and undressed in a caravan.

She disappeared from a village miles away.

The Police have arrested a 27 year old man

from the district previously convicted of violence

and drug related crimes.

It's obvious they have the wrong guy.

And you can just tell that, just like that?

Violence and drug related crimes point toward an individual

with poor control over his impulses.

This man, who kidnapped and transported

this girl miles and then killed her... Is the opposite.

He is someone with total control.

This is not just a murder. This could be a serial killer.

Yeah, ok...

I know this community. I know the police.

I know what it's like to... be a girl who's...

completely overlooked, ignored.

I know what it's like to be a soft target.

That's why I chose Criminal Psychology in the first place.

And this bastard...

...is still a free man.

and is probably already fantasizing about doing it again.

But you're not thinking of using this case

for your own dissertation?

-Well, I... -Maja, please. Don't go back there.

Don't ruin this for yourself now, after all these years.

-Hi. -I've called three times, where are you?

I just arrived, I didn't hear the phone ring

I'm staying at my Grandmother's old house.

-Ok. -Look,

it's still light outside.

The world famous midnight sun.

Wow. Amazing. Will you be able to sleep?

I don't know. People around here are used to it.

Guess I'll just have to give it a few days and

then I guess I'll sleep just like normal.

Hm. Have you talked with your family yet?

I don't know, I just... I'm here to work, not socialize.

Right. So what's your plan?

I'm going to see the local police.

Ok. And you really think they'll give you access to the case?

-Well... -Just remember

there's a lot of prestige involved when it comes to murder cases.

This is my field of expertise!

I'm just saying try to avoid stepping on anyones toes.

-Yes. -Just remember to be careful and not...

Yes! I shall be very diplomatic.

No way!

If it ?s not Dr. Philos herself!

You and academic titles, Johan.

You mustn't forget I've been through primary school, Maja.

Listen...

Hi.

This is Maja, Erik, who I've told you about.

Oh, yeah. Johan is a bit in love with you.

-Did you not know? -Now, fucking cut that out.

You don't talk about anything else.

I am impressed!

Maja went away and made a career.

Out in the World, Erik!

"Out in the World, Erik".

Listen. I've been following the Sofie case.

We nailed him in just a few weeks.

And in the middle of all the fucking Police reforms

and the consolidation of the counties, that has complicated everything.

Troms and Finnmark is a very, very bad idea.

I heard he confessed?

Eventually.

His timeline was all over the place.

He started lying, and then he really messed things up for him self.

-You know how it is. -How many hours?

Can I read through the interrogations?

What are you thinking?

I can't let outsiders influence the work of the police.

I'm in the middle of my dissertation

and it would be very valuable to dive into a case of this type.

What are you writing it on?

The psychology behind male serial abusers.

Serial abusers?

As in serial killers?

That too, yes. But no one uses that term outside the U.S.

A serial killer? Here?

I don't understand what you want? We've solved the case,

we have the offender.

-I'm not so sure about that. -No, fucking hell!

-Fine. -Fine?

Okay!

Yes... that went well.

Fucking hell! Jesus!

-Hi! Welcome back. -Thanks.

Your room is ready.

Thanks very much.

Hi, Dad!

Maja?

-Hi. -Hello!

Why didn't you call?

Is there something wrong? Has something happened?

Classic dad, "Is something wrong"

You need to stop worrying.

-That's a fathers lot in life. -To worry?

Yes? Because you're not exactly coming home to join the party?

-The party? -It's St. Hans' today.

The longest day of the year.

We'll meet down by the water as usual.

You're welcome to come.

Your mum will certainly be very happy to see you.

-You think so? -Mhm!

Dad...

I can't fucking stand the...

...the family, and...

...the looks, and...

I'm not part of that, and you know it.

I thought you were working on your doctoral dissertation.

I've not heard from you in a long, long time.

Yes, I'm working on it.

I've moved into grandma's old house, temporarily,

to take a closer look at a case.

The girl who was found murdered at the campsite...

You covered the case quite extensively in the newspaper.

It's a case that the local police are proud they solved,

but now everyone just wants it finish.

Yeah?

That's clear. That they just want it finished.

But?

I'd really like to see everything you've written about the case.

Quite a few pictures have been published, but I assume that

you in the editorial office have more material.

I would like to look at all of the pictures, research, interviews.

I didn't write anything about that case... I don't have the

possibility to give you access to anything.

Are you not the editor here anymore?!

No. I took early retirement.

I'm only a freelancer now.

Jesus Christ, what are you so afraid of?

Cut it out, I'm not afraid?

But when you show up unannounced, trouble usually is in the making.

The police caught the wrong man.

You can't just say that.

I've done research on Roy Eliassen, the accused.

He has the wrong profile.

It doesn't match the information I have about the case.

Okay.

And what do the police say about that then?

They'll come to realise that I'm right.

But what then? Should I just stand on the sidelines

watching them make such grave mistakes?

Dad... Can you help me?

Your mum will be very happy to see you again.

– Hi. – Hi.

Please, sit down.

So nice that you came.

Yes, you asked me so nicely, so what else should I do?

It's cosy here.

Yes, just like usual.

But look, here, take a beer and go and have a chat with your mum.

Come on, go and talk to her.

Come on!

You don't need to keep going on about it!

Hi, mum.

How's it going here?

No, you know...

All things... They....

They what?

Shine in the dark.

All things shine, you know that?

Are you tired of London already?

Or have you and Prince Harry split up?

He doesn't look much like him.

And no, we have not "split up".

Let me know when you have then.

You and I are a little too closely related, perhaps?

Why are you here? I thought you were never coming back?

I'm writing my dissertation. I needed some peace.

That's not so typical of you?

I've matured...

How's it going with uncle? Has he retired yet?

The plan is still to keep working until he dies.

Or at least that's what he said last time I spoke to him.

And Auntie Anna?

Same old. Happy and optimistic.

Mum is sitting there talking like a crazy and demented

person about how everything shining.

How's it possible for two siblings to be so different?

I think when you lose a child in an accident then...

You become a black hole. You stop giving anything to others.

You just take. Feeding on others guilt.

Do you feel guilty?

How long has it been since Petter died?

Twenty? I don't know. I've stopped counting.

Guilt because you're actually trying to live.

Cut it out! Please!

I'll drive you home!

Can you stop here?

– Here? – Yeah.

Is this such a good a idea?

The police havn't been here for a long time.

And there's already a guy locked up, so they consider themselves finished here.

See here. This is what it looked like.

– It's a staged crime scene. – How the hell did you get this?

You see that everything's clean, it's neat and organized.

It's like a theatrical set made for an audience.

And she was lying there in the shower, you can see how her legs...

Okay, okay! Can we go now?

The police have the wrong guy.

What are you doing?

What?

Are you involved in the case? Are you part of the investigation?

Sort of.

Okay, then I think we should start going home.
