I didn't think I'd see you here again.

That's obvious.

You were warned. You have to go.

We're not afraid of you. This is our land. Get the hell out of here.

Shut the fuck up, you hippie scum.

I'll fuck you up. Huh?

Let's go.

Fuck you up...

Get the fuck out of here.

Or you will be sorry.

More of us are coming.

You see how good he is at that?

Yeah, nice drawing. Huh.

Who is it?

- You. - Really?

Let's see.

Yeah, obviously.

I'll hang this up on the wall.

You'll have to sign it like a real artist.

I am a real artist.

Hey! Is that me?

That's a good one.

Hinrika.

Hi, we just got a call.

A body was found at Ásar in the next fjord.

Okay, I'll be there.

- Hello, Eiríkur. - Hello, Andri.

That didn't take long at all.

No. Just five years.

You know I had to do it.

Arrest you.

Yes.

Did you?

POLICE LINE - DO NOT CROSS

Is something going on here at night?

No.

The caves are a holy place.

We meditate down here.

What's in here?

It's our sweat lodge.

Like some kind of sauna?

It's where we practice cleansing rituals.

I don't know what Ívar was doing here last night.

No one is allowed down here at night.

- Can you show me around? - Yeah. Of course.

- I have to see his room as well. - Mm-hmm.

- Haraldur? - Mm-hmm?

Forensics are coming from Reykjavík. Don't touch anything until they arrive.

- Mm-hmm. Got it. - Okay.

Were you close? You and Ívar?

Yes, he was with me from the beginning.

- He was one of the founders of The Family. - When was it founded?

This movement started seven years ago.

- When did you last see Ívar? - Last night during meditation.

What time was that? Who was there?

As far as time, I'm not sure. Yep, we were all there together.

All of us.

Was there anything unusual?

No, nothing.

Make sure no one from the group leaves the area.

We are in the middle of a rite. No one is leaving.

What does that mean?

Yeah, we, uh...

We always celebrate the changing of the seasons.

We honor nature.

Transformation. New beginnings.

The "rite", uh, serves as a sort of banquet before the winter.

And are you drinking that tea from Peru?

What's it called?

- Ayahuasca? - Yeah.

No, no. Nothing like that.

Hey, you take the bed, I'll take the couch.

Oh, no, no, no. I'm going home.

Yes, they found me a... a good serviced flat there.

Yeah.

Well, maybe you wanna spend a few days in the city before you go.

Hmm. No, no. That, uh... That won't be necessary.

You should call Agnes.

I know the girls are excited to hear from you.

It's been a while since they heard from their grandpa.

Hmm. Are they happy over in Sweden?

I think they are.

I miss them, of course.

Yes, the divorce and all that.

It must have been quite difficult.

Yes.

I guess you could say I've had my fair share of conflict.

- Well, hello. - Hi there.

Come in.

Hinrika called me. They found a body up north.

I'm in the Financial Crimes Unit now, remember?

I'm not asking for help with the investigation, Andri.

But I thought you should hear this from me.

The victim is Ívar Kristjánsson.

What happened to him?

I don't know, but his skull was broken.

Apparently, his body was found at some cult camp.

A mixture of Norse religion and some New Age mumbo jumbo.

It's up north?

Yeah. The farm is secluded. Don't remember the name.

Ásar. It's called Ásar.

Oh, this is Eiríkur.

My father-in-law. Used to be.

Yeah, I... I know the place very well.

It's interesting.

Caves are there that the old Irish hermits built.

And it was, uh, deserted for a very long time

after the last inhabitants moved out.

Everybody thought it was worthless

until the tourists came.

Have Ívar's parents been notified about his death?

No, not yet.

I'll tell them.

You're not exactly the family's favorite person, Andri.

Yeah. I'm aware of that.

I owe it to them.

Today is Friday, March 4th.

This is the third interrogation of Ívar Kristjánsson

regarding the disappearance of Lína Katrínardóttir.

It's been four days since Lína disappeared.

You have stated that you have no clue what happened to her.

And that nothing out of the ordinary happened between you two,

which could have resulted in her running away.

Your phone... does not support your story.

Her last message to you went like this,

"Answer your phone, Ívar."

"You have to let me explain. We need to talk it through."

What did she need to explain to you? Huh?

Why did she send these messages? Why did you ignore her calls?

- I didn't hear it ring. - You didn't hear it ring?

Bullshit! Of course you heard the phone. Why'd you ignore it?

I just fucking told you. I didn't hear the phone ring.

Look, we know you're responsible for Lína's disappearance.

Just tell us where she is. Huh?

We're patient. We can stay here all day.

- Tell us where she is. - Okay. We had an argument.

- And so what, huh? - An argument?

- Never argue with your wife? - When?

With that fucking face?

- When was this? - Sunday night.

- Why didn't you tell us before? - Because it doesn't matter.

- It matters. - Matters a lot.

You think you can make me look like a jealous boyfriend.

No.

That's what we're doing. There's a good reason for that.

Andri. Why were you fighting?

- I don't even remember. - You don't remember?

It was just some bullshit. Why would I remember?

You two fight and she disappears?

- Calm down! - Tell us if she's alive!

- Fuck off! I fucking dare you! - Answer me!

Andri! Andri!

- Hi. - Hi.

- Are your parents home? - Yes. Mummy.

Hi.

Andri?

Hi. There's something I need to tell you about Ívar.

Mummy, is he not coming?

How are we going to break it to Eva?

I'm so sorry for your loss. Sincerely.

What happened?

It's hard to say precisely what happened...

but everything points to him being murdered.

Why on earth are you, of all people, being sent to tell us?

I felt I owed you that much.

Did they find the murderer?

No, not yet.

When did you last see him?

We haven't seen him since spring.

We spoke on the phone a few days ago.

He promised Eva he'd come to her birthday party.

He wouldn't lie to her, not ever.

Did he sound strange at all, like something was wrong?

- Are you leading the investigation? - No, I'm not.

Good.

Andri.

Don't think for a second that someone else is to blame.

You're personally responsible for what's happened.

He never recovered after all your accusations

and the beatings you gave him.

He thought everyone saw him as guilty.

Even thought I didn't believe him.

He trusted no one.

Can you imagine living a life like that?

I made a huge mistake.

You destroyed his life.

That's why you'll find the person who did this.

You got that?

Yeah.

Eiríkur? We're going up north.

Listen, some motorcycle gang just arrived. They're driving around town.

I don't like the looks of them.

Just keep an eye on them. Watch where they go.

- Should I follow them? - Mm-hmm.

Okay. Copy that.

This is Ívar's room.

Thanks.

TRAGEDY AT MIKLABERG

MARÍA LEIFSDÓTTIR FOUND GUILTY

INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE'S WRONGDOINGS

So, how did Andri take the news?

He insisted on notifying the parents.

Trying to be nice.

It's that or maybe he's just a masochist.

I think he's just honest. That's all.

Well, I'm glad it wasn't me.

Who are those people?

- The parents? - Yeah.

His dad's a master builder and his mom's an accountant.

They run a construction company.

Mom handles the books and the business, dad supervises the construction.

Just normal people.

When did Ívar join this group?

You think these cases are connected?

The girlfriend's disappearance and the murder?

Mm-hmm. Lína.

- Her name was Lína? - We'll follow the evidence.

If evidence indicates the cases are connected, we'll investigate.

Or maybe it's just a coincidence.

What is this group doing here?

Seriously, what's going on here?

It's been a while since you came up north.

Can you stop the car?

Sure.

- What are you doing? - Keep your distance.

- What is this bullshit? - Keep your distance.

- Take a step back. - Back up.

He should rest here with his people.

So you can give him a Viking burial?

We are a community. Respect that.

We've our own rules. You've no authority.

You're anarchists when it suits you?

You called us when you found the body, remember that.

Ívar belongs to us.

Guess what? You really don't have a say in the matter.

We want him back.

Only if his family specifically requests it.

Trausti, see you at Siglufjörður?

Yes.

Chopper is taking off. Back up.

There's already snow on the mountains.

There is never really summer here.

Only spring and autumn.

Here we have our dining area and the sitting room.

It's a great place to socialize.

Well, look who's here.

Okay.

This isn't bad, huh?

Uh, so, where are you staying?

I hadn't even thought of that yet.

Here's a sofa. There you go.

Yeah.

You mean that?

Okay, maybe I'll sleep here tonight.

Mm-hmm.

Constraint is the grief of the bond-maid,

and state of oppression and toilsome work.

Opera Niflungr.

Ice is the bark of rivers and roof of the wave

and destruction of the doomed.

Ása. What are you doing?

I'm making sure that his soul doesn't wander off.

We have to get him back here.

I don't control that.

Then who does?

We have to bury him according to our custom.

Ívar needs a new beginning.

They're sitting over there.

Hi there.

Can we chat for a second?

Last night, were any of you at Ásar?

We heard a fight broke out between you and those people,

that cult that's been living out there.

And what?

Well, a man was murdered there last night.

Who?

Ívar Kristjánsson.

Did you know Ívar?

- Uh, yeah... - We didn't kill him.

Fucking cult leader saying we're to blame.

Whoa, buddy. Where are you going?

Just let... let him go.

- You okay? - Fuck off, man!

What's wrong with you? I'm trying to help.

Leave.

What's the story? Were you there or not?

- He was alive when we left him. - And?

And we just came back here and we stayed until, I don't remember...

Until when?

- Until... I honestly don't know. - Around 5:00.

Can I chat with you for a second? Outside?

Ask her to confirm if they were here all night.

Mm-hmm.

Listen, I don't know if you remember me, but, um...

I worked on the investigation when your friend...

when Lína disappeared a few years back.

That must have been, uh, difficult for you.

Everything was so fucked up when she disappeared.

Ívar started doing drugs.

Then he was saved and quit drinking.

And then he joined The Family,

and was brainwashed by Oddur and Ása.

Gunnar moved to Copenhagen and later, I joined him.

And you went up to see him? What were you fighting about yesterday?

They think they own Ásar.

So, what business is that of yours?

That land is mine.

Oddur stole it from me and claims that it's a holy place.

He's a fucking hypocrite.

He's so patronizing.

Claims he's helping mankind.

He's just stroking his ego.

So, Vera confirms their story.

I have to ask you all... to stick around the area for a while.

Okay?

- Hey! - What do you got?

- What's your problem? - What do you got?

- What are you doing? - Hmm. Hmm.

What is that?

POLICE STATION

I brought you coffee if you want it.

Well, hi there. Long time no see.

Hinrika didn't tell us you were coming.

No, I'm just here on a whim.

I'm gonna wait for her, if that's okay.

Yeah, of course. You can wait in her office.

Great. Thanks.

- Hi. - Hi. Hey, Andri is here.

Andri?

- Hi. - Hi!

- So nice to see you. Welcome. - Likewise. Thanks.

Hey there.

We need to talk.

Now, come on, outside.

What are you doing here?

I had to drop Eiríkur off.

Right. Accompanying a murderer to a retirement home.

Who do you think you are, Andri? Think you can just waltz in to solve this?

- No, I just... - Huh?

I didn't say that. I'm suggesting a collaboration.

You lead the investigation and I follow your every order.

Mm-hmm. Then I order you to go back where you came from.

Apart from that.

Why didn't you call, give me a heads-up? Who... who knows about this?

Nobody. I just drove Eiríkur here.

You know what?

Lína's not going to be found. You have to accept that, okay?

You can't change the fact that we made a mistake back then.

And a lot of it was your fault.

Yeah. You're right.

And that's why I have to find out what really happened to her.

What if there's no connection? And that Lína doesn't fit into this?

It's that boy, Ívar, right? You couldn't stand him.

- God, that's complete bullshit! - It's true. You almost killed him.

You almost killed the guy.

You hated him even more when we confirmed his innocence.

I only want to find out who killed him.

No, you won't be involved in this.

Go back home.

Find some insider trading to investigate.

I know you and Andri

believe that you're the world's greatest police team,

but he's not getting involved. It's out of the question.

What happened?

Andri was convinced this guy was guilty because his alibi was shitty.

And I backed him up in it all the way.

But it turns out that he is innocent.

And Lína, the victim, we still don't know where she is.

We wasted valuable time chasing after that Ívar,

instead of looking for her.

- You're sure he was innocent? - Yes.

He was covering up for his friend, who was, of all people, Lína's brother,

who had been driving drunk and doped up,

hit a child, and just took off and went into hiding.

Ívar was there with her brother.

That's why he didn't tell us where he was.

He was covering for her brother.

And Andri was sent here as a punishment?

Yeah, pretty much.

Right.

What's that?

I found it under Ívar's bed at Ásar.

- They were friends. - That's him.

That's who I was talking about, her brother, Bergur.

And that's Lína? The girlfriend?

Yeah.

Here's something.

Check this out.

Look at these clippings.

- He was obsessed with Andri. - What's this?

Some old cases.

They've got nothing to do with Ívar.

Trausti.

About Andri.

No one wants to solve this case more than him.

The reason we never found her is because of Andri.

But why do you think he's here?

Because he won't stop until he gets his way.

That's the only reason for this.

I just... I think he'd rather be anywhere but here.

He's going to fuck everything up. He's... It... It's too important to him.

He's overcome with guilt...

Isn't it good that he thinks it's important?

Trausti, what is this about?

Is this about his ego or yours?

What do you mean by that?

What do you think?

Did you lose your phone or you just don't wanna talk to me?

I'm sorry.

I spoke to Trausti. You're joining the team.

Okay.

I'm sorry I can't offer a place to stay.

There's no room since Bárður and I took in his sister's son.

So, you and Bárður decided to give it another try?

What's the boy's name?

His name is Logi.

- How's it going? - It's going fine.

It's better than I expected.

He's seen some really terrible things in his short life.

I knew you would come here.

I often think of Ásgeir.

ÁSGEIR ÞÓRARINSSON YOUR MEMORY LIVES ON

The ferry is coming. I'm going down to the docks.

We were notified there were some shady characters onboard.

I'll come with.

Yet again,

we are reminded of the contrast between creation and destruction.

We remember our brother...

and we say, "May all gracious spirits reside with us who are left behind,

grieving our brother."

After times of crashing waves, terror and storms, all will subside again.

Darkness connects the beginning and the end.

A man's life is an unseen cycle.

The might of death is a certain step.

The end of one is the beginning of another.

Now join me in a gentle invocation and say...

"Cattle die, kindred die,

as you yourself shall die,

but the name will never die of him who has earned it."

So, was Trausti okay having me on board?

Yeah, sure.

He just insists on not treating the cases as connected.

Yeah.

Who knows?

Maybe he's right.

Yeah, we'll see.

What are they doing here?
