The factory burned at a convenient time

The whole world was going to hell, and they all benefited from this

And I lost my Dagný

Hjörtur!

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

It was not my fault

And that's when the devil came into me

MENTAL CLANKING

YELLING

I almost wish that he'd suffered longer

Did anyone see you?

Kolbrún! Kolbrún!

Whoever it was, he did me a favour. I was glad to see Hrafn burn

HE SCREAMS

You can be sure that the harbour will be built here. No matter what

We're relying on your support

Safe journey

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

I wasn't thinking straight

You've arrested my father?

I think you should pack your things

You can't expect my mum to keep cooking for you

What did you throw into the ocean? I think it was a phone

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

- What did they say? - They've got nothing on me

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

And who'll believe him?

"To Maggi"?

- Hi, María - Hi

- Hi, Maggi - Hi

We found this in a car the next street up

- It's from my dad - Your dad?

- Was that Geirmundur Jónsson? - No

Did he come here a few nights ago?

No

- Can we come in? - Of course

What happened to your door?

I lost my keys and had to break in

Geirmundur had a rental car parked in the next street

Did he come to see you?

- No - But my dad...

Darling, go and play and let the grown-ups talk

Afternoon

I see you have visitors

Maggi, want to show me your room?

Ja.

Did you know that Geirmundur was Maggi's dad?

Andri, you can't just barge in and start asking personal questions

- You need some kind of warrant - No

But if this is inconvenient, we can make it more formal

- María, come with us to the station - Are you arresting her?

No, I'm asking her nicely

It's going to be all right. Mummy will be back soon

DOOR OPENS

I just brought a few things that he might need

Soap, toothpaste, a towel, a change of clothes and a few books

He'll get everything he needs at the prison

He's going to need a few things

It's all right, my love. They're looking after me

- That's him, isn't it? - Yes

Take care

And you

Andri, I need a word

- Can it wait? - No, not really

Come on, then

- What is it? - Look, a few years back...

...I arrived for my shift and María was in here

Hrafn was with her. She was crying, in shock, looking worse for wear

When Hrafn saw me, he pulled her in here and drew the blinds

Like some secret I couldn't know about

- Do you know what happened? - No

There's no report on it, I've searched everywhere

When was this?

The day before the fire in 2008

- Are you sure about that? - I will never forget

The blinds were still drawn when I knocked to report the fire

So you didn't know he was Maggi's father?

The one who was murdered?

No, absolutely not

Has María mentioned that he came to see them...

...the day he was killed?

What are you talking about?

Did you talk to her on Thursday evening?

Well, yes. Maggi spent the night with me

She dropped him off and asked if he could stay

Does she often do that?

What are you fishing after?

She's a single mother like me and sometimes she just needs a break

OK, thanks for that

If it all comes to the surface, do you think you'll get away scot-free?

Just make sure it doesn't surface

It's more likely they'll believe me rather than you

Why on earth did you bring that kid here?

He's my grandson

Is he now?

A part of your model family, then?

Don't worry, I'll finish the harbour business without you

What was your relationship with Geirmundur?

There was no relationship

But he was Maggi's father, yes?

No

He thought he was

People think all kinds of things

When he came to see you the other night...

...was it to pick up where you left off or just to see his son?

He never came to see me

- That's what he told your son? - Yes

And my son said that he never came

He couldn't have known that

He spent that night at Laufey's

What did you do that night?

Watched a few movies, drank a bottle of red wine

I streamed them illegally

You can arrest me for that

Sorry... The last few days have been a nightmare

Ja.

You were pretty close to Hrafn?

In 2008...

...around the time of the fire, you came here to the station

To see Hrafn

You were crying

Why was that?

I can't remember

It was around the same time that Geirmundur left town

Nine months later, you had a child

A child without a father

María...

Did Geirmundur rape you?

Why didn't you press charges?

Didn't you speak to anyone?

It was Geirmundur who broke down your door, wasn't it?

You must've been scared

I have nothing more to say

Geirmundur...

...was killed by a stab through the heart

By a person who wasn't too strong

This person...

...stabbed him repeatedly

María, if he attacked you...

...it was self-defence

You panicked and called Hrafn

He called Sigurður, who brought a chainsaw

María...

How well do you think they cleaned up?

When the forensics team starts looking for blood spatter...

...are you sure they won't find anything?

When you heard Geirmundur was in town...

...you knew he would come to see you

You sent Maggi to Laufey's house

And waited

SHE SCREAMS

He isn't here!

You didn't know what to do

SHE SCREAMS

Where is he?

I never agreed not see my son

Fucking bitch!

SHE YELLS, HE GRUNTS

SHE YELLS

HE GROANS

SHE CRIES OUT

He landed on top of the knife

HE GASPS FOR BREATH

You must have been terrified

SHE YELLS

Finally, María stood up for herself

SHE YELLS REPEATEDLY

Finally, it was he who suffered

SHE PANTS

You called Hrafn

SHE WHIMPERS

SHE SOBS

SHE SOBS

I was just defending myself

SHE CRIES

SHE GASPS, CRIES

He kept attacking me and I was defending myself

María.

I advise you to say nothing further...

...until a lawyer has been appointed for you

This interview is over

But didn't Geirmundur tell you that he was Maggi's father?

I don't think he knew, the last time I saw him

Must've been a crazy year...

...what with the fire, Dagný dying and you ending up in prison

Yeah, and Geirmundur running off to Spain

Why did he run?

I don't know

Maybe he started the fire

What?

Maybe Geirmundur started fire at the fish factory

What?

If something happens to me, what will become of Maggi?

Maggi will be fine

We have the results from the fingerprint scan

We know who the second prints on the saw belonged to

- Who? - Guðni, the hotel manager

- When are we going home? - We'll go home later

We're just going on a little adventure in grandpa's factory

- Why is no one working? - What?

It's Saturday

Sit in that chair

There we are

- You can play on the computer - I want to go home

- Not yet - Where are you going?

Hang on... Wasn't there a shotgun on that wall?

Yes

Didn't you see him leave?

No, but he could have left through the back

- How long will this take? - It'll take a while

I'm not going to freeze here

We can wait at the factory, grab a coffee

This should've been done already. Damn it!

DOOR OPENS

What do you want?

I wanted to talk to you about Geirmundur

Oh?

Regarding the fire at the factory in 2008

I think it was him that pulled me out

And you're telling me this now?

- Yes - He just figured it out

I'm not sure, though

So you're saying Geirmundur was there the day the factory burnt down?

Yeah. Or I think so

That was probably the reason he contacted me in prison

He contacted you?

Yeah, he sent me a letter and everything

Yeah, and he invited me to come and see him in Spain

He probably just wanted to see me, the boy he pulled from the fire

Who did time for him

So your saying that Geirmundur started the fire?

- Do you have the letter? - No. It was seven years ago

Does Guðni have a boat?

No, I don't think so

But Leifur has one

They're implying that Geirmundur started the factory fire

Hjörtur suspects that it was him who pulled him out. Where are you?

We're heading to the factory to see if Guðni's there

We think he has his gun. Leifur's there, I see his car

- Leifur? - What about Leifur? Leifur has Maggi

Leifur still has Maggi. Tell her not to worry, we'll find Maggi

- Call for back-up - Will do

Maggi can't be with Guðni and Leifur! He's just a child!

That fucker Leifur's going to escape!

Neither of them are answering their phones

Why are the police trying to contact us?

If she's talked, it's her word against ours

Unless that damned Faroe Islander has talked

Guðni, I know you went through a lot to finance your part in Drengur

But I won't get involved in human trafficking

- Please, you must help them! - I have to stay with you

We can stay, if you need to go

Please

I have a vest from the police car that rolled over

Put it on

He won't use his gun, will he?

- Will he? - No way

We don't have to worry about that

It's taking too long to fill that boat

- It takes twenty minutes - Mummy!

What was that?

It's just Maggi, María's kid. He's in the office

You're taking him with you?

Guðni, I don't know... I can't do it

I'll lend you the boat. You'll get to the Faroe Islands in two days

Let it go. Honestly. It looks worse if we run

Let's just tell the truth

- The truth? - Yes

We tell them how you got Geirmundur to burn down the factory...

- ...so you could collect the insurance? - You got your share

Maybe we didn't kill Geirmundur...

...but a young girl died in that fire

See anything?

Wait...

Put down the gun

- Are you going to shoot someone? - Shut up!

I'm trusting you. I'll be back as quickly as I can

Leifur

SHE GASPS

KNOCKING

I want to go home!

KNOCKING

What the hell are you doing?

Guys, it's over!

Guðni...

Put down the gun and let's talk

We're coming down. I'll shoot you if you get in the way

Mummy!

Maggi? Maggi do you hear me?

MUFFLED CRYING: Yes

It's Hinrika

- Are you alone? - Yes

I'm going to try to open the door. Wait

BANGING ON DOOR

SHE GRUNTS

I'm going to look for the keys. Don't be afraid

Guðni, you're not a murderer

Shut up. Open the door

- Keep going - Guðni...

Hurry up

Guðni...

Take your phone out and put it on the floor. Now!

And the torch

Get into the freezer

- Get in there! - Guðni, don't make it worse

Get into the freezer or I'll blow his head off

Guðni, he'll die in there

Don't underestimate me

HE COCKS GUN

OK, OK, OK, OK.

- Guðni, I'm going in - And you. Put your phone on the floor

- Now! Get in there - We're going

Further in, further in

- Further in - Guðni...

THEY SHOUT

Argh!

SHE PANTS

- Are you all right? - Yes

- You all right? - You can't tell my mum

No, it's fine. Mummy won't be angry

It's fine

Let's wait here a little while longer. It's going to be all right

HE STRAINS

ELECTRIC WHIRRING

He's started the deep freeze

There isn't much time till we freeze to death

What was the plan?

Guðni was talking about the Faroe Islands

The Faroe Islands? Because of the engineer?

I don't know

They were in some racket I had nothing to do with

You weren't involved in the trafficking...

...but your daughter killed someone

And you and your friends, the town's elite...

...came together to help

Did you chop the body up?

SAW ENGINE REVS

So it would be easier to dispose of?

SPLASHING

Why?

María went to Hrafn after the rape

But no one was charged and no report was ever made

Did you get him to convince her not to press charges?

Hrafn made a deal with Geirmundur?

"You set fire to the fish factory for me...

..."and in return, you get money and no jail sentence for rape"

Those were hard times. We were in the middle of economic collapse

In case you've forgotten. The whole country was going to hell

God bless Iceland and all that!

A young girl died in that fire. Dagný

You think I don't think about that every single day?

We didn't know they were in there

Dagný!

Hello!

Hello!

An innocent lad went to jail and you knew about it

You made him think he was guilty

You made him think he'd killed his girlfriend

And then you used her father to embezzle the insurance money

Such wonderful human beings

I did it for my family

Leifur...

You believe your own bullshit?

You did it for yourselves

Because of greed

- I'm outside. What's happening? - I found Maggi

Good, but Andri's not answering

He's downstairs. I heard a gunshot

I'm upstairs with Maggi

All right... Meet me downstairs

- We're on our way - All right. I'll be here

Put on the vest

HE COCKS GUN

HE YELLS

Run, Maggi! Run!

Fucking cunt!

SHE YELLS, GROANS

Hinrika?

Who's there?

Hinrika, is that you? Andri?

HE YELLS

HE MOANS, PANTS

Hello? Help!

SHE MOANS, PANTS

DISTANT: Hinrika! Andri!

HE BREATHES HEAVILY

Maggi?

- Ásgeir? - Hey!

- Ásgeir? - Help!

HE GROANS

Have you seen Maggi?

I didn't see anyone go through

This is an emergency. An officer's been shot

I have to find Maggi, Ásgeir

FOOTSTEPS

HE WHIMPERS

Yes. In the fish factory by the docks. Yes...

All available units, yes

Guðni!

Stop, Guðni! Stop!

Lend me your lighter

Lend me your lighter

Back-up's on the way. You're not going anywhere

Down on the ground. Get down, Guðni!

Get down!

Maggi...

- Come here. - Stop it!

- Let go! - Guðni, what are you doing?

Let the boy go!

ALARM BLARES

- Leave me alone - Put the gun down

- Let me board the boat - Leave me alone

Let the boy go. Let him go

What happened here?

You're a hotel manager

Now you're selling young girls into prostitution...

...and threatening to kill little boys

This was just a sleepy little town

What happened here?

Now you'll try to tell me it's not too late to turn things around...

...that all will be forgiven

You will never be forgiven. Not you

Not Leifur, not Hrafn

You will never be forgiven

It's too late

Do something right for a change and let the boy go

Let Maggi go. Let him go

Guðni... Let the boy go

You're not going to shoot

I won't hesitate to shoot you in the head...

...if you don't let him go now

Guðni, we're arresting you. I suggest you relax

The other one, get the other one

- Come here. There, there - All right, Maggi?

Maggi, it's all right. It's over

It's all right. It's going to be all right

You all right, sonny?

- Are you all right? - I'm fine

BIRDS SQUAWK

Morning, Hjálmar

I don't know if I'll be able to face my father

Really... what am I going to say to him?

You don't have to decide now. It'll come

Are the girls going to live with us?

Yes

They're coming with us

OK.

Andri's all right with that?

He has to understand

I'll talk to him

OK.

OK, sweetheart, go to Hinrika

Maggi...

I don't want it anymore

Let's go

- Hi. Is that her? - Hi. Yes, it is

Hello, Hjörtur

SHE LAUGHS

BELL CHIMES

- Hi - Hi, Friðrik

Thanks for coming at short notice

- It's my duty and a pleasure - How were the roads?

They were fine

- Let's hope things will get better now - Yes, they must

- Here you are - Thanks

Hello

Oh, Maggi, darling

- I brought some of his things - Thanks

- Bye, Maggi, my dear - Bye

Be nice to each other. And I'll see you soon

- I love you - I love you too

All right, girls. Let's go

- Bye, my darlings - Bye

- Take care of yourself, Andri - I will do

- See you, Andri - See you
