-Hi. -Hi.

-What type of place is this? -An old furniture factory.

My dad worked here in the eighties, but it's been

empty for probably ten years.

Fuck. Trond Kverntangen.

We don't even have as much as a speeding ticket on him.

I don't like this.

If he's in there, how's he going to react?

Fuck it. We don't have time. Lets go in.

You take the entrance over there. You take the entrance on the side.

Got it.

The key?

The building is empty. There's no one here.

Okay. What about paper work? Or computers?

No, there’s just old rubbish from the furniture factory.

Looks like he's taken everything out.

-Is it long since he left? -No.

There's fresh wheel tracks outside the garage.

Has she been here?

We haven't seen any sign of her.

Okay. He's had her now for several days.

We're going to find her alive. I'm going to find her.

And there's no other registered addresses for North Security?

The company is affiliated with a call centre.

But we would have to check it out.

Otherwise, everything takes place online.

But the website... Is Trond managing that too?

I don't know.

It says here that a company called Webconsult designed the website.

And they're based in Nerbygd.

-Hi. -Hi?

Webconsult? Is that here?

Yes. Come in.

Hi. Hello?

Are you Webconsult?

Yes.

It's you who created the website for North Security?

Yeah. Yes. That's right.

-Hi. -Hello.

What's your name?

I'm Bjørnar Michaelsen.

Now you have to help the police a bit, Bjørnar, and there'll be no fuss. Okay?

Do you know Trond Kverntangen?

Yes. But only over email.

Can you help us to get hold of the client list?

That means everyone that's purchased something from them.

-What do you want them for? -We’re trying to find out

where his company operates.

What do I have to do with this?

Shit. Yes, that’s the whole of Northern Norway.

Plus Sweden. Plus Finland.

Where would you put a server, Bjørnar?

What kind of server?

We have a girl who's locked in a room. Kidnapped.

The man who did it is sending a stream of the girl.

He's going to take her life, if we don’t find her.

-He's streaming now? Live? -Yes.

Somewhere here in the area.

Can I see?

And you've tried to locate the stream?

He's sending it via a server. Or, does he not have to do that?

Yeah, there's lots of methods to do it.

It could be via a mobile network, or it could also be through the cloud.

But anyway. For all we know, this might be delayed.

It might not be a clean live stream, but a...

This can be lots of hours ago.

But he has lights.

Yes?

If you cut the power, then...

-We'll be able to see if it's live. -And where she is.

Can the power plant cut the power in different areas?

Yes. Thank you, Bjørnar.

I guess the police can just order them to turn off the power,

-and then we'll see? -Listen. I have a plan.

Do you have a fishing license?

You're a dick.

Johan... We need to cut off the power to a few areas.

You need to cut off the power? To a few areas?

Yes.

We need your help, Johan. Really.

Yes, but surely that must be possible.

I'm available as a consultant on an hourly basis.

It's part of the scheme.

After I've been compensated for overtime in 2019.

Up until last week.

You know everyone in the district, Johan.

Also, getting the power turned off is not that simple.

We have to contact the Armed Forces High Command,

we have to call all the emergency services, we have to...

Can't you let this one through, Johan. I know you have a short cut on this.

I know you know what's going on.

We're in the middle of a kidnapping case here.

Isn't that typical, huh?

As soon as I go on sick leave, then things start to happen here.

I didn't think you liked that things happened?

-So she had it right the whole time? -Yes.

Oh, God.

What?

No... I can't stop thinking that...

If only I'd... Then he would have maybe been stopped before,

and this wouldn't have gone on for so long...

You can't think like that, Johan. Everyone is doing their best.

What difference does that make?

But okay! There's only one way we can do this.

There'll be no fishing.

This here is my good friend, Odd Knut Sandbakken.

He's the boss at at the power plant.

And yes, we're friends from the Rotary Club.

At least he has an idea of how this could be done.

-Yes? -Yes.

I've been thinking about this a bit,

and it's not a problem for us to

switch off one area at a time. We run stress tests from time to time.

To test civil preparedness, without me going into too much details for whom.

That area are we talking about?

So, we have four large areas, and

it's from the river here and down towards Bardufoss.

Then it's from here and north towards and past Nerbygd.

The third goes from here and east.

We've also got the cabling that goes here,

over the fjord, and up towards Storfjord.

-Can we begin here? -Yes.

-Good. -Then that's what we do'll do.

Yes.

Come on.

Maja, look at this. Dan Robin, rewind a bit.

A bit more. There! There.

It's getting dark there. It's ten o'clock.

That's to say, that's somewhere here.

This is forest area?

-And this is buildings? -These here are old hunting lodges.

They've probably been there for a hundred years.

And the good thing here, is that there's only one road

through this area.

It's a private gravel track, which runs along the Djupelva.

If he goes by car, that's the only way he can drive.

If we set up a barrier here, we can also block the road here.

We'll also pray to God that he transports Elle by car.

-Do we have him now? -We have him.

Help! Help! Help! Is anyone there?! Help!

Hi, this is Maja.

Hi Maja, do you remember me?

Yes. I remember you.

What do you want?

In an hour I'll call you to tell you where you're going.

Why should I answer in an hour? I have no reason to trust you.

I just want to chat with you, Maja.

Okay. It's a chance I'm willing to take.

On one condition.

This is between you and me. You don't hurt Elle.

If I so much as get a feeling that you're up to something,

then you're on your own.

It'll be nice. You and I, Maja.

We'll talk in an hour.

That was Trond. He wants to talk with me.

No, Maja...

-Hi. -Hi.

We have a barrier at both ends. He's not getting anywhere by car.

-He's made contact. -What did he say?

He wants me.

Well, I don't fucking know, Maja. This is way beyond all...

Rules? Or procedures?

You know what I mean.

This is my choice. I'm going in.

He'll call me, most likely, and give me instructions.

But what the fuck does he want?

He wants to have control.

He wants to observe.

The combination of adrenaline and control is for him

an intoxicating drug.

It's like sex. He wants the pleasure to last as long as possible.

He doesn't kill until he has to.

What do we achieve with him having control over you?

That he shifts focus, maybe.

That we get some kind of dynamic into this situation.

-Yes, but what is he's plan? -He has no overall plan.

He just wants the intoxication to last as long as possible.

He's probably in the woods now, on his way into some kind of ecstasy.

I think the situation is exhausting him.

The fact that he wants control means that deep down he's just a coward.

The most dangerous thing we can do is let him get bored.

He only kills when he knows he has nothing more to get.

I want to go in and meet him.

He's going to focus on me now. Not Elle.

Yes?

Turn around.

Are you going to let her go, Trond?

That's what you're thinking. Aren't you?

I'll be completely honest with you, Maja. I've not decided yet.

What do you think?

Keep going.

Can I ask you something?

It was you, wasn't it?

I've never been sure if it was just a dream or if it...

You liked that I held you down.

You think so?

You think so? You think a ten year old girl likes to be held down?

You asked for it, yeah.

-Did I? -Yes.

All girls are asking for it.

Exactly what do you think we're asking for?

- To be tamed. -Fucking hell.

That's a fantasy. And you know it.

Someone took control away from you.

Was there someone who held you down?

Or was there someone who showed you what control could be?

Because you have to lose control to become so obsessed with it.

That it's the most important thing in your whole life.

What you want more than anything else.

-What happened to you? -You're blind, Maja.

-What? Is it someone I know? -Stop.

Who was it, Trond?

I like that you're trying to turn the game around.

I know you like it.

Keep going.

There's a fine line between control and chaos.

And that's where you like to be.

Where it's most dangerous.

Where you can be discovered at any moment.

You're not interested in Elle. That's not the kick.

What you get a kick out of is control.

You get a kick out of control because it's your kind of love.

You don't know anything else.

I don't like this.

What if he takes her as a hostage?

What would he gain? He has a hostage.

What's he up to then?

I don't know what the hell he's up to.

You see Anna and Silja every day,

but you don't understand what they want.

You understand that they love you, but you don't understand why.

Whether you deserve it. And that's the way it's been.

As long as you can remember.

That feeling.

Alone. Outside.

Smarter than the whole world.

But more and more you start to wonder if there might be

something wrong with you.

And desire just dies.

Now it's more like an old habit.

Or a bad habit, you might say.

But the longing, Trond.

The longing will never go away.

You've tamed her now, Trond.

You can let her go.

You're done with her. Hm?

It's not that simple, Maja.

Maja, you're wrong.

-I'm wrong? -Mhm.

I just enjoyed watching.

Turn to your right.

And the other way.

I enjoyed watching him hold you down.

That who held me down?

You know who.

-No. -Your cousin, maybe?

-Was it Eivind? -Maybe.

Maybe there were others?

-Were there others? - Mhm.

Who, Trond?

Your brother, maybe.

Was it Petter?

It's Maja.

-Can you talk? -He's bluffing.

He doesn't know what he wants. He's just stalling.

-But I think I found something. -Mhm.

-I'll call you back. -Okay.

-I thought you'd retired. -Yes.

There was just so much I had to clean up.

But, technically, I'm not out of work until I've done what I have

left of overtime.

So I'll drop by and do a bit now and then.

You're not going to leave voluntarily, are you?

Listen, I've been thinking about something.

Why didn't we understand what was happening at the hotel?

That Sofie was involved in with selling herself?

Because you're a man.

And men don't listen to women.

You want to sort it out, but you don't listen.

That there, that's...

Feminist bullshit?

If there's anyone to blame here, it's actually a woman.

Sofie's mother?

We are women, Johan. We're just trying to survive.

Just like you men.

We're managing, we carry shame.

But it would've been so much easier if you'd just listened.

Hey. Go back to London.

Don't make more trouble here in Nerbygd, please.

-Get a grip. -Goodbye.

Hi.

Do you know what bothers me the most?

That he chickened out.

Of course he was a coward, Maja.

We have 26 open cases against Trond Kverntangen now.

It’ll take years to investigate.

But it's Troms and special forces who'll take the lead.

Who knows, maybe we'll learn something.

Are you going to go home now?

And you?

No, I don't know. Who knows?

Maybe when you come back in ten years then...

You'll still be sitting in there bickering with Johan.

There's an awful lot to bicker about in Nerbygd. Luckily.

You could come to London and sort it out.

I don't think I'd cope with their police hats.

No, London's not exactly Nerbygd.

Regards to the Prince then.
