Original subtitles

Kill me now. What the hell are you doing here?

I’m looking for a place. I won’t stay long.

You don’t need to search. You’ll get my house.

- What do you mean? - Elin doesn’t want it. I asked her.

And her brother David isn’t coming back.

Grandma, it’s too soon to have this conversation.

She fell down the stairs. I don’t know how long she was there.

She was amazing.

It’s hard enough to raise your own kids, but to do it blind with orphans...

She wasn’t alone. David did everything for her.

Stop sending me pictures, Anita.

Maybe Steffi should see them!

Then you might actually leave the marriage.

- Are you meeting your girlfriend? - I don’t have one.

Isn’t it enough that she’s a lesbian? Does she have to be vegan as well?

Do you want to stay? I’ve got Netflix...

Are you inviting me to Netflix and chill?

- Why did you come? - There were so many...

Just to welcome you.

Who’s that?

Uncle David. My mum’s brother. You know who he is.

- Your mother’s brother? - Yes.

- And my mother’s brother? - In a way.

Why have I never heard about him?

- When will your brother arrive? - Tomorrow morning.

Una hated him. If someone mentioned him...

Una and Halla. David was much older than us.

Salomon.

David.

What are we talking about? Does he hate tourists?

- No. It’s just practical. - How?

He’d have to have autopsies if they were Icelandic.

You’re right.

I should have intervened when you were young.

I knew what your mother was...

Raggi... Oh, God!

- Should you be drinking? - Why not?

- We know. - Know what?

I’m going to be a grandmother. Is he the father?

I'm terminating it. We won’t discuss it further.

The last thing your mum said was that she loved you more than anything else.

- Anita! - And that you’d be a good mother.

Anita, put the gun down.

Don’t listen to him. Put it down. Anita!

Her phone is still turned off.

Maybe it’s just flat?

Could be. But we always eat dinner at seven.

It’s only half past seven. You can relax.

This is Helena, I can’t...

Where was she going

To see Ragnheidur.

That explains it. There’s no reception in the middle of nowhere.

Have you tried calling Ragnheidur?

No.

No.

She’ll be back soon.

I’m not worried. Not at all.

Hey!

I was just thinking about you.

I wanted to ask you for a reading sometime soon.

Tomas isn’t here.

I know. I didn’t come here to speak to him.

Okay. Can I help you?

I don’t know. Maybe...

Are you... alone here?

- Yes. - Yes.

Thank you.

Promise this will be in strict confidence?

Yes, I promise.

I was thinking about those old cases.

Okay. What old cases?

Those violence cases that have been on the news lately.

Foster homes and...

the children who were sent there.

What are you thinking?

I’m just thinking...

Can we do something? I mean, are we doing something about it?

Do you mean, like, filing a lawsuit or something?

Yes. For example.

Okay.

It depends.

It depends on what kind of violence we’re talking about.

It’s...

sexual violence.

Okay.

Then it depends on the nature of the case

and how long ago it was.

It was...

about 40 years ago.

Okay.

It’s too late.

Right. Yes, of course.

- Coming here was a mistake. - It’s never a mistake.

It’s never too late to come forward.

I never said it was me.

No.

Okay, sorry.

Should we talk about it?

Helena.

I don’t care if it’s too old.

I want to help.

- Okay? - How?

Tell me about the violence.

Right. It’s rather complicated.

Where was the home?

That’s what makes it complicated.

Again... do you promise it’s confidential?

I promise you.

It happened at Gullsondum.

Okay.

That doesn’t change anything. I’ll keep my promise.

I won’t tell Anita.

- Or Tomas. - No.

- Hush, my love. - Hi.

Hi.

I brought snacks.



Can I take her?

Hi.

What’s going on?

She’s been like that all day.

I’ve tried feeding her, I’ve walked around the house like 70 times,

I’ve changed her diaper, there’s nothing wrong.

I don’t know, maybe she’s hungry.

This is going very slowly.

- Don’t we have milk in the fridge? - No.

Okay. It’s okay.

- Have you heard from Gusti? - Not since last night.

- How about you? - Yes.

What did he say?

I think he’ll nail it.

It will be okay, I’m with you.

Me and you, babe.

It’s okay. I’m okay.

I think I need a new phone.

It’s always out of battery. It’s junk.

What did Ragnheidur say

She wasn’t home.

This is really good, my love. Thank you.

It would be better hot.

No, it’s fine.

Why were you gone so long time then?

I checked her house twice.

I stopped at Tomas’ too, he wasn’t home either.

Then my phone died so I couldn’t call.

If the phone had been working, I wouldn’t have checked twice.

I’d have just called her.

But it’s always difficult to get a hold of her. She’s never home.

I’m the one doing the job, not you. You have to trust me.

- We should decide this together. - That’s why I’m calling.

Can we discuss it tomorrow?

- Sure, come over. - Okay.

- See you then. - Bye.

Who was that?

David.

What did he say? Is he almost done?

No, he’s demolished half the living room.

Said the kitchen wasn’t enough.

Crazy. What does that mean for you?

He wants to put more money into it.

I should’ve bought his share right away.

I don’t want to sell the house.

- I know. - But it’s too big.

The maintenance is very expensive.

Unless we start our own foster home.

How many kids were there?

Quite a few. Mum and the sisters.

Girls came and went.

Just girls?

I think so.

And David, of course.

- He ran the place. - What?

Yes, that was Mum’s opinion anyway. Rather than Grandma.

Is David much older than your mum?

Yeah, he is, actually.

But Gullsondum is my house.

It is your house and we can live there.

One room for us, one for Erla.

Seven guest rooms.

- Eight. - Eight guest rooms.

- Hi. - Hi.

Hi.

- Fuck. - No, no. Finish first. Please.

It’s Gabriel. Hi.

- Hi there. - Hi.

I just wanted to let you know

your grandmother is here and everything’s okay.

I thought as much.

Yes, the phone was out of battery, tike you said.

She said she stopped at your place.

Oh? That must have been while I was out.

Right. Well I’ve kept an eye on her, she’s taking her medication.

Right.

Okay, great. I won’t worry about that.

- I have to go. - Wait. Where are you?

Where am I? Why?

Just that sound.

The sound? It’s Heida. She’s asleep.

She has a hard time sleeping.

I’ll talk to you later. Bye, Gabriel.

- Is something wrong with you? - Or with you?

- Did Grandma drop by today? - Tomas, not now.

Who do you think you are?

Should we order breakfast? That’d be nice.

-I must get home before the kids wake up.

I’m leaving town when the press conference is over.

- So maybe you can bring her? - Yes.

- Around 11? The parking garage. - Yeah.

Okay. Thank you.

Are you going to watch?

No.

See you.

- Yes. Bye. - Bye.

The case has been dosed

and the families of the victims have been paid compensation

as well as being paid damages from the criminal’s estate.

She’s drunk a lot this morning.

And pooped twice. Like a hero.

Wonderful.

- Thank you. - Don’t thank me.

Nothing like this has ever happened before in Iceland.

How did he manage to murder five female tourists and three Icelanders

without anyone suspecting...

Excuse me, just to correct you, it’s two Icelanders

because Helga Eliasdottir is not considered one of his victims.

We had no evidence to show us that she was murdered.

But to answer your question,

it happened over a three year period.

The first victim was found three years after she died.

- The American, Marianne Henderson?

There are rumours saying the accused violated the victims...

Right, we are not here to discuss rumours.

If there are no more relevant questions...

Sorry, I have one.

The evidence shows the accused was unarmed.

Why was he shot point blank?

- Yes. - I’ll answer.

Gustaf A. Ingason, he was the detective on the scene.

He’ll answer your question.

Thank you.

Good morning.

Yes, the accused was unarmed

but he had shown aggressive behaviour.

If you read the reports,

you will see that he had already murdered two people close to him

and we thought he was capable of anything.

He attacked the police woman,

grabbed her weapon and tried to take it from her

and during the altercation he was shot.

It was self-defence. Nothing else.

Where were you?

I was dose to them but not dose enough.

One more question.

- I’ll take her. - It's okay.

Its fine, I’ll take her.

- Should we turn it off? - No, you watch.

Like Kari said, over the last 15 months

we have concentrated on solving and dosing the case.

We cannot know his motive.

Hello?

Hi. It’s just me.

Hi.

Hi, my darlings.

Can’t you turn it off?

- You don’t want to watch? - Not really.

- Coffee? - You have some?

- Yes. - Then please, thank you.

“It was self-defence. Nothing else.”

Mum, seriously, I can’t deal with you.

- Hi, my dear. - Hi.

- No luggage? - It’s in the trunk.

I’ll get it, no problem. You relax.

Hi. Hi.

- Hi. - How are you?

- Jonna’s in a good mood. - Call if you want to return her.

I don’t think I’ll need to return her but I might call.

Take care of my boy.

- Did you come by yesterday? - Yeah, I did.

But nobody seemed to be home.

I was home. I might have been taking a shower?

- Maybe I didn’t hear you. - Yeah, probably.

I’m running late.

Yeah, I’m going too.

Where?

I was going to check on Ragnheidur again. Is that okay?

Yes. Is your phone fully charged?

Yes. Its fully charged.

Okay, Grandma.

I want a real hug. Come on.

Yeah.

- Thanks for the coffee. - You’re welcome.

It was good to see you.

Is it a boy or a girl?

What?

Sorry. I thought...

I think it’s a girl.

Bye, my love.

What...

Are you pregnant?

- Tomas, stop it. - Just kidding.

She thinks she’s clairvoyant. It’s fine.

Grandma, I’ll come with you.

She screamed at me. What am I supposed to do?

I don’t want to stay in school.

I hate school. It’s so unnecessary.

- What do you want to do? - Just work, like Begga.

- Doesn’t she go to school? - Remotely.

Okay, how about your other friends?

What friends?

It was just Begga and I never see her now we’ve moved.

This wouldn’t have happened if you hadn’t cheated on Mum.

Well...

Yes...

It’s normal to be angry, but you have to finish school.

Can do it remotely too.

It’s very expensive

and babysitting won’t make you a lot of money.

I know, but I have to get away from Mum.

Hi.

Hi there.

What are you doing to the shed?

I’m trying to tidy up.

It’s like a damn junkyard.

Okay, but this is so much more than we discussed.

I can’t put that much money into this.

It’s just one or two million. You’ll get it back in spades.

I don’t have one or two million.

Look, we own this house together

but we’re not making decisions together.

You’re not keeping me in the loop.

I’m just trying to create more value.

Okay, but can we slow down?

- Show me what you did yesterday. - Yes, I can do that.

Let me get Erla.

What about the damage to Baldur and Gulla’s fence?

- Right... you can check it out. - Okay.

- I suspect the couple from Audnir. - Hadn’t they made up?

Maybe. I don’t know.

What adult actually does something like that?

Iceland Foster Homes 1950-1985 Compensation for Domestic Violence Victims

-I said, would they really damage a fence?

I just don’t know.

What are you doing?

Tomas, I’m reading a report.

- About what? - It’s a...

- Good morning. - Oh, hey!

- Welcome home. - Thanks.

How are you?

You were great on TV.

I’m just relieved it’s over. Any news?

I’m proud of you.

Same old. Herding tourists from the beach.

- I saw a video. - A four year old almost taken by a wave.

- Tourists. - What video?

On the visir. is site.

Bloody media. They never stop.

Can I answer?

Tomas’ grandma came here yesterday

asking about the statute of limitations for sexual crimes.

Tomas doesn’t know about it. It’s a 40 year old case.

Doesn’t she have some mental stuff or something?

Her mental health fluctuates.

She’s been very sick, tried to take her own life last year.

- Right. - Why do you ask?

We still believe her despite her mental illness.

I know, I’m just asking.

Okay.

Anyway, the crimes were committed at Gullsondum.

The foster home run by Anita’s grandmother.

Okay.

Have you heard anything about this kind of thing?

At Gullsondum? No.

- No reports or anything? - No.

- Anita hasn’t said anything? - Nothing.

Okay. What else did she say?

Not much. She wasn’t ready to say more.

I hope she’ll come back when she is. But I want to check it out.

But it’s very old.

Yes, but it’s still important.

The perpetrator could be alive, more victims might need help.

It’s been 40 years.

It’s not like we’re very busy here.

I’ll only do it when I have time. Just let me look into it.

Okay. As long as it doesn’t affect anything else.

Tomas can’t know about it. I promised Helena.

Nor Anita. It would be too much for her.

Agree. Wait a second.

Did Anita watch the press conference?

Not all of it.

Okay.

I think...

I think it will get better when Jonna starts babysitting.

Maybe.

She’s seeing a psychologist.

Anita? How on earth did you get her to do that?

Just talked about it constantly.

Okay.

I think it’s just what she needs.

Go to therapy and then we’ll do something fun with her

and help her with Erla.

I can take her more often if you want?

- Yes. - It’s fun.

That would be amazing.

Hey!

This is a fucking graveyard.

Hi.

Hi?

- Are you from here? - What?

- Where are you from? - Iceland.

Right. Where in Iceland?

Reykjavik, I just moved here.

Here? Eww. Why?

My dad lives here.

- Who is your dad? - Who are you?

- Asdis. - Jonna.

- Disa, there are others here. - I know.

- Hi. Baldvin. Nice to meet you. - Hi, I’m Abby.

She’s always so good with you.

I know. Uncle Tommy.

Everything good at home?

Hello, hello.

Here’s Daddy.

Hi. Hi, cutie, how are you?

Good to see you.

She’s starting to look like you.

- You liked being with Tomas? - You want to hang with me?

You can go hang with him later. Hug Daddy first.

Gusti. Did Jonna come with you?

Yes. She was thinking about meeting you tomorrow.

- Is that okay? - Yes. Great.

Can I talk to you?

Yeah, of course.

- Should I take her? - It’s fine, thanks.

- Bye. - Bye-bye.

Yes, everything’s okay.

How are you?

- How are you? - I’m fine.

Gusti, aren’t you afraid that we made a mistake?

- This is what we decided to do. - But they’ll find out, I watched...

We had to stop Salomon and you did that.

It’s done. You can’t change it.

- Should I take her? - No, it’s fine.

Both of us have to support Erla.

That’s all that matters.

Anita.

- Hey, are you here? - Yes.

Okay.

So, your mum cheated?

No, Dad cheated with another woman but Mum is still batshit.

- She’s the crazy one? - Yes.

She meddles with everything. I’m not allowed to do anything.

There’s something wrong in her head.

She’s a mum.

No, Mum is extra.

- Is that why you moved here? - Yes.

- To a shitty town with shitty weather?

I live here.

- Is Gusti your dad? - Yes.

- Gusli the Bald. - You know him?

- He breaks up our parties. - Sorry.

He’s alright.

Are you going to come?

We’ll meet at my place, chat, drink... smoke...

- Maybe. - Okay, bye.

- Don’t tell your dad. - No.

- Hello there, Frida. - Hi.

That’s quite something.

Are you throwing everything out?

- Did Anita send you? - No. I’m here because of something else.

I’m collecting lists of names from foster homes in the county.

Right.

Do you think your mum had a list?

- She must have. - Yes?

But I’ve thrown out a lot of boxes from the attic.

I’ll search the ones that are left

and let you know if I find something.

Great, one more thing...

Why did you run a foster home?

We didn’t have much money after Dad was gone.

Right, when did he die?

He abandoned us.

This was how we were able to get by.

I see.

Well, I’m... It must have been difficult.

Do you remember any names?

Or how many kids were here or...

Anything you remember?

It was so long ago.

I remember Halla and Una, of course.

And then there was... what was her name?

- Ragnheidur. - Ragnheidur?

Ragnheidur, yes...

Not Ragnheidur at Brakandi?

Yes, that’s the one.

Ragnheidur at Brakandi. So, she was here.

Were there only girls?

Yes.

Mum only wanted girls.

Yes, you don’t remember any more names?

No.

If I remember more, I’ll let you know.

All right.

- I’ll hear from you. - Yes.

Hi.

I was thinking, how about pizza tonight?

Homemade or delivered. Your choice.

Are you okay?

Open it.

What... we’ve been careful.

I’ve taken three tests.

Yeah, okay.

We’ve only been together for three months.

- Isn’t it too soon? - My love.

Tomas.

My love.

The best three months of

Why don’t you tidy up and I’ll get snacks and soda?

I have to go somewhere.

Where?

I met some kids at the pool, they invited me to play cards.

Okay.

- What? - You just got here. A party already?

- I didn’t mention a party. - What kids?

- Dfsa and... - Baldvin? Right.

They never ever throw any parties.

Are you forbidding me from going

- You can’t forbid me... - I absolutely can.

But I’m not going to. Take it easy. You can go.

- Thanks. - No problem.

Ragnheidur.

Ragnheidur.

- Hi, honey. - Hi.

What is it?

I went to David’s.

What for?

He didn’t remember me.

Or, he said he didn’t remember me.

You shouldn’t have gone there.

I don’t care, I told him he should leave or we’d speak to the police.

- What did he say? - Nothing.

He was just disgusting. He hasn’t changed.

What do you want from him, Helena?

I don’t know. I just... I mean...

The world doesn’t work this way.

He can’t come here like nothing happened.

Yes, he can do. Obviously.

- No. I’ve spoken to the police. - What?

She wants to help. I want you to come with me.

No. I don’t want to.

I don’t want to revisit this, you shouldn’t have done it.

Why don’t you ever want to talk about it?

I decide what I talk about and to whom!

Come to Uncle David.

Right.

- You can feed her. - Okay.

There we go. Do you want some?

Any news?

I think I’ve found a way out of your financial troubles.

What do you mean?

I’ll buy your share of the house in its current condition.

Okay. What does that mean?

I’ll pay you 12 million and you’re free.

And then you’ll sell it to someone for a fortune.

I’m going to continue to renovate it.

12 million? That’s so far below market value.

I’m offering you a way out of your financial troubles.

I don’t have any financial troubles, David.

I just don’t want to sell the house.

See, either you put more money into it...

or I buy your share.

You’re very alike.

Gusti is her dad.

- Gusti the bald. - Is he your dad?

- Yes. - Are you joking?

- Do you know Anita then? - Not yet.

- Not yet? - I’m going to babysit her daughter.

- Doesn’t she have a baby with Gusti? - Abby, chill, she just got here.

- I just asked. - You don’t have to ask so much.

Do you guys know Anita?

We knew Salomon quite well.

He was our doctor.

Disa had a crush on him.

No, I didn’t.

You had a crush on him.

- God, I said it once. - Yes, you did.

- No! - You just said you did.

He was a necrophiliac.

- He was. - We don’t know.

Do you mean he owned horses?

Sindri, he fucked dead bodies.

Why?

- It hasn’t been confirmed... - Dude, are you that stupid?

- He fucked dead bodies. - Or just killed them.

Are you coming tomorrow evening

We’re going to the black beach to use a Ouija board.

Isn’t that something they do in horror movies?

Yes. And here.

We need to find out if Anita killed him.

Wasn’t it self-defence?

- Let’s ask him. - You don’t have to come.

- You don’t have to, but you’ll come. - Stop pressuring her, she’s new.

Nobody is pressuring her. Won’t you come?

- Maybe I’ll check it out. - Yeah, you’ll come.

Don’t listen to her, she’s scared.

This is Helena, I can't pick up, leave a...

This is Helena, I can’t pick up, leave a message.

Hi.

Anita?

Anita?

Where’s Mum?

Should we find her?

Should we find Mum?

Anita?

The families of the victims will be paid from the estate of the criminal.

Detective Gustaf A. Ingason has declined to comment

after today’s press conference.

He confirmed that it was self-defence

when the defendant was shot by the police.

North of Glera? Just send me the location, that’s easiest.

I’m coming. When is the ambulance coming?

Send it to me. The ambulance? Good.

We don’t have to decide right now.

Let’s sleep on it.

Yeah.

What?

- She’s disappeared.

She isn’t answering her phone and I can’t find her. It’s past midnight.

Okay, wait. I’ll just be a second. Fuck.

What’s going on?

Grandma has disappeared.

Gabriel can’t find her. She’s done this before.

What do you mean?

Turned off her phone. I’ll let you know.

- Tomas... - I’ll be back soon.

Hello. Did you call?

Yes, there’s a dead woman in the car.

- Wait here. - Okay.
