This programme contains some strong language and some scenes

which some viewers may find upsetting

Do you have any idea...

...what is going on in your little town?

You think you've had a murder or two, but believe me, it's nothing.

SCUFFLING, GRUNTING

Nothing.

HE PANTS

Kolbrún!

Who do you think murdered your mayor?

FIRE ROARS

- You saw someone that night - No, it was just a silhouette

Kolbrún! Kolbrún!

Whoever it was, he did me a favour

HE YELLS AND WHIMPERS

I was glad to see Hrafn burn

Did Daddy call?

He said he was going to call back

Daddy's going to give me a red fire engine

What daddy?

The engineer on your boat, who is he?

He's not an engineer.

Dvalinn Knudsson. So that's where he's been hiding

Be careful, Andri, he's a dangerous man

- Have you seen this man? - No, never seen him before

Thanks

YELLING AND GRUNTING

CRASHING

You know I have nothing to do with your murders.

I want you to take over the investigation, Andri

This padlock has to be locked with a key. It can't be clicked back

This was murder

No, don't put Eiríkur's pants in there

They reek. I'm going to wash them tomorrow

- They've reopened the case - I know, I spoke to Ævar last night

Oh, why didn't you tell us?

I spoke to the Reykjavík department. They've started questioning Dvalinn

Great

DOOR CLOSES

I really want to talk to Guðni

He's been acting so strange during all this

Why don't we drag him in here?

Shake him up a bit and see what happens

- Let's call him in for questioning - Yeah, let's do it

Right?

Shouldn't I let Andri know?

No, don't bother him. I'll handle it

You were supposed to wake us up this morning.

I'm so sorry.

- When is the next ferry? - In one week.

If we have to wait for a whole week,

who is going to pay for it?

Guðni...?

You were supposed to wake us up!

I don't know what happened, yes, I...

MOBILE RINGS

- Guðni... - Hi, this is Hinrika from the police

Oh, hello

Would you mind coming to the station and answer a few questions?

It's just routine. We need to tie up a few loose ends

Sure, I'm free tomorrow morning

Could you come right away?

Sure, I'll be there as fast as I can

OK, thanks

ENGINE STARTS

Why do they want to talk to you? What did they say?

She just wanted to see me, asked me to come to the station

If it's regarding your affairs, then it's none of my business

They've got nothing on me

If Dvalinn plans to incriminate me, then it's his word against mine

And who's going to believe him?

- Hi, Guðni - Hi

- Hi - Hi

Take a seat

What did you just throw into the sea?

HE LAUGHS UNCOMFORTABLY

It was an old sandwich that was stinking up my car

I just couldn't place the smell

I think it was the phone

HE CLEARS HIS THROAT

- What phone? - You know what phone I'm talking about

You knew the engineer on the ferry, the Faroe Islander, didn't you?

HE LAUGHS

Is this some sort of cop game?

You look at me with a stern face...

...while they ask me unanswerable questions

And I'm supposed to what?

Break down and disclose some terrible secret?

- We need your fingerprints - Oh, why is that?

We need to check everyone that might've been with Sigurður...

...the night Geirmundur was murdered

Where were you that night?

Um...

At home, probably

HE CLEARS THROAT

Alone?

I usually am

If we check your phone records, will we see that Hrafn called?

Hrafn was my oldest friend, we spoke often

What did you talk about that night? Geirmundur?

Why would we have talked about that loser?

You think I killed him?

Is that what you're implying?

Are you saying that I killed Hrafn as well?

We're just asking questions

Right...

Two horrible murders, and you have no idea who did it

You're clutching at straws and can't even be honest and accuse me directly

Tell me, Guðni...

Does it make you a big man to consort with people like Dvalinn?

Does it elevate you from being a caretaker...

...at some hotel in the middle of nowhere...

...to being a high and mighty gangster?

Right, then... Can I go now, or do you have any valid questions?

We want your fingerprints

DOOR SLAMS

- What's up with him? - I don't know

VOICES FROM TV

DOOR OPENS

- I thought you were out - It was a short trip

- Perla whinged the whole way - That's not true

Have you seen your dad? I need a word with him

I think he's painting at our house

You're my girls

What's going on?

I'll tell you later

SAWING

Hi. Aren't you at work?

Where did you find that?

The pocket of your pants

That stank of kerosene

All right...

HE SIGHS

I'm not very good at this

There must be a word for it

When you see everything so clearly

When all of a sudden you realise...

...that something you thought to be the truth was a lie

What was a lie?

Hjörtur wasn't alone that night

Someone pulled him from the fire

So the police lied

Hrafn lied to me

I just never considered it

Why would the police lie?

But then again, it's obvious why

I was the one who did the insurance assessment

You went to see Hrafn

He was in the shed...

MACHINERY CLACKS

...loading cartridges

And I asked him...

"Why were you so sure the boy had started the fire?

"You knew I'd never have signed off on the insurance...

..."unless I thought it was absolutely clear-cut"

But then the damages wouldn't have been compensated

The factory burned at a convenient time

The whole world going to hell, economic collapse

I just didn't see it

They all profited from it

Thanks to me

And I lost Dagný

If those kids hadn't been there, it would've been fine

It wasn't my fault

That's when the devil came into me

BLAZES ROAR

The screams grew silent quite quickly

The smoke saw to that

I almost wished that he'd suffered longer...

...to tell you the truth

I thought you'd come to arrest me right away

Then Sigurður was blamed for it...

...and I wondered whether I should come forward...

...and tell the truth

But he was one of them

Thanks

- Hi - Hi, Eiríkur

- Hello there - Eiríkur, through here

Take a seat

Eiríkur has confessed to Hrafn's murder

He set fire to the shed and locked him inside

You'll have to handle the formal questioning

I'll go and talk to the family

You can start when you're ready

I killed Hrafn

Because of what happened in 2008

What happened in 2008?

Ask Ásgeir

You must've been involved in this sordid affair

He was your boss

Let's start from the beginning. What happened in 2008?

INAUDIBLE

INAUDIBLE

SHE GASPS

Did Dad just come to you and confess the murder?

No, it just happened

And it had to be you?

You couldn't let someone else handle it?

- Hinrika or Ásgeir? - It had to be me

Yeah, you had to be the hero

- I should have let him go? - Of course you should!

You should pack your things

You can't expect mum to keep cooking and cleaning for you!

- Hi, it's Hinrika from the police - Hello

I wanted to tell you that...

...we've charged someone with Hrafn's murder

Oh...

Who have you arrested?

Eiríkur Davíðsson

- Just let me know what happens next - We will

- Goodbye - Yes

Why don't you go home? I'll spend the night here

- You sure? - Yes

You can stay at mine

It's fine, I'll manage

I've been looking into Guðni

I found a company called Drengur. Heard of it?

- No - It belongs to Leifur

Guðni has shares in it and Hrafn had a 5% share

Right

It was formed around the new fish factory

Leifur owned the old one by himself

It supports Eiríkur's claim

That it was insurance fraud?

Mm-hm.

Drengur also owns the new hotel...

...and has been buying plots of land in and around the fjord

Probably to sell to the Chinese contractors

- Why didn't we see this before? - It's all hidden in some subsidiaries

Which are all owned by Drengur

They've all got some kind of joint investment

Can you continue with the investigation?

Haven't you become unfit?

Eiríkur didn't kill Geirmundur

No, but the cases are linked

SHE SIGHS

I'm going to go home

Goodnight

Night

UNZIPS BAG

- What do you want for your birthday? - A goldfish

- What? - A goldfish

- What did you say? - A goldfish

A goldfish!

Let me press the bell

BUZZER SOUNDS

Hi.

- Hi, Maggi - Everything all right?

I understand how Eiríkur's feeling

It makes sense to burn the fucker that took her from us

Dagný wouldn't have wanted that

She wasn't like that

SNIFFLING

- What's going on? - Good to see you

- Hi. - Hi.

Thanks

Looks tasty

Listen...

- Hi! - Hi.

- How are you? - I'm fine, and you?

Good.

- And your sister? - She's asleep.

- Tea's ready. - Thank you.

I heard you caught the engineer.

Yes, we did.

We will help you put him away.

- Are you sure? - Yes.

I'm sure.

OK. Thank you.

And the wine is on the house because of the problem, you know?

SHE TRANSLATES

OK, that's...

Just a moment.

Have you heard?

- Aren't you worried about this? - Worried? Why?

He killed Hrafn. Why would he have done that?

Don't get stressed about it

Eiríkur can make any accusation that he wants

Hrafn is the only one who can confirm that the police report was false

No one else. You could even say that Eiríkur did us a favour

What were the police asking you about?

They were just clutching at straws

They don't know anything

Have something to eat. Ribs, chips. You know where the plates are

HE KNOCKS

BOLT CLANKS

Why didn't you get rid of that bloody key?

I wasn't thinking logically

Goodnight

Goodnight

MOBILE RINGS

Rögnvaldur? Good morning

Just a moment

Rögnvaldur?

Yes, I'm in here

- Hi - Hi

Hi

I gather that you were watching Kolbrún's house this morning

You said you'd seen something important that might be of help

What was it?

Leifur was there

They're sleeping together

I suspected as much

Since her husband's dead, they're not hiding it anymore

You must be upset about your father-in-law?

Do you know why he did it?

Hrafn was no saint, everyone knows that

Eiríkur must've had a valid reason

You haven't seen anything else that could be useful through your scope?

No

I thought you might find this thing with Kolbrún interesting

I'm not telling you just to gossip. Maybe it puts things into perspective

- I want to help the police - Thanks for that

Rögnvaldur...

You said you'd seen Hrafn argue with Geirmundur

Can you tell me everything you remember about that?

Hrafn got in his face, but Geirmundur just laughed at him

How did the argument end?

Geirmundur walked away looking cocky. He wasn't threatened

Where did he go? Back to the hotel?

No, he got into a car and drove away

Hrafn stayed behind looking like he wanted to kill someone

What kind of car was he driving?

What colour was it?

SHE SIGHS

We completely missed that

Yeah

We're looking for a blue car that hasn't been moved for a week

It narrows it down

ENGINE STARTS

Yeah...

PX-020

It belongs to Ingibjörg Karls. Thank you

US...

2...

3...

- 6... - US-236

No. Get back in

There's one

Is it blue?

Yeah, it's blue

Your turn

Hi. We found another one

Wait...

It's OX...

R92...

R92...

OK. It's a rental car from Reykjavík

Yeah, thanks

What's this?

"To Maggi"

- Hi, María - Hi
