I was thinking about those old cases.

Foster homes and the children sent there.

Tomas’ grandma was here

asking about the statute of limitations on sexual crimes.

I want a real hug. Come on.

Her mental health fluctuates.

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

There are lacerations on her neck.

She hanged herself. Cause of death is asphyxiation.

So she hanged herself and someone moved her?

The DNA on the airbag is male.

I’m thinking of asking David to come in. Get his DNA.

Should we order breakfast?

-I must get home before the kids wake up.

No.

Dad cheated with another woman but Mum is still batshit.

Helena and Ragnheidur were both at Gullsondum.

As was David. He was the only male.

You watched David drag Helena into the shed

and you did nothing.

You can leave now.

Or you can spend the night.

He left me alone because

Ragnheidur. What do I do?

You don’t have to do anything. I’ll take care of this.

He was abusing all the girls there.

And your grandma was one of his victims.

Tomas: David is dead to me.

Your Ups are like a scarlet ribbon; your mouth is lovely.

Your cheeks are like halves of a pomegranate behind your veil.

Your neck is like the tower of David, built for an armoury.

On it hang a thousand shields, allot them shields of warriors.

Your breasts are like two fawns...

I need to end my life where my hell began.

.. come with me from Lebanon.

Let us all rise from our seats and pray.

Detective Gustaf A. Ingason has declined to comment after today’s...

You know, this just doesn’t suit you.

Fuck. She’s here.

- What? - She’s here.

- Damn. - What time is it?

Almost 9.

Should I make some coffee?

No.

- Just one cup? - I’ll get coffee at the hotel.

Why?

When will you stop this, Steffi?

When you stop cheating and having kids with other women.

Jesus. Good morning, Stefania.

I’ll move back to the city as soon as you’re ready.

- The kids’ lives are turbulent enough. - They can handle it.

- You have a newborn baby and Anita is...

Mum, I can hear you.

Hi, honey.

- Where were you last night? - Where were you?

I’m not an idiot.

I know you’ve been sleeping together since the divorce.

Please, go to therapy or something.

- So, breakfast? - I guess so.

- Hello? - Hi, this is Agnar. How are you?

Hi... I’m fine.

Fantastic. There’s no one here.

When did you last hear from him?

Oh... I don’t remember.

A few days ago, maybe?

I think we should send him the offer via registered mail.

- How about that? - Great.

- Brilliant. Bye. - Yeah, bye.

You’re not sleeping at home?

- None of your business. - She stayed with a friend.

- What friend? - Her name is Disa. She’s a good girl.

You already have a friend?

Steffi.

Jonna, please come and sit down. We have to talk.

- I’m going to work. - Anita can wait a few minutes.

What do you need right this second?

Why are you so angry at me?

Are you joking?

I’m not the one that destroyed this family.

You’re no better than he is.

I get that you’re angry

but you’re always fucking angry.

- It began long before Dad cheated on you.

I left Reykjavik to escape the tension but it followed me here.

Don’t speak to your mother that way.

Of course I want you to be friends

but if she’s here, I’ll go somewhere else.

Jonna.

Jonna.

I’ll talk to her.

Disa, can you call me when you’re free?

Don’t listen to her. She’s talking nonsense.

This is my fault. I take full responsibility.

Yes, it is all your fault.

She’s not looking after my baby.

No.

- She’s right. - She’s confused.

No! I’m horrible to her.

She just gets to me so much.

I think I just...

I think I’ve been unhappy.

Please don’t go.

I’ll call my parents, they can look after Petur.

Just don’t leave.

- I can’t stay here. - Then stay at the hotel.

Seriously. Please.

I miss you.

Bye.

Bye, my love.

Darling.

You’ve got my number. Call if you need anything.

- Good luck. - Thanks. You too.

Bye...

Bless you.

I can’t hear a damn thing. Am I on speaker?

Can you hear me now?

Not really. Anyway, Sweden has sent the report.

Okay? And?

Oh, wait, I can hear you now.

It’s a match to the sample on the airbag.

Okay. Are you serious?

Yeah, it’s from Sweden.

- And? - And it’s a match.

100 percent?

Gusti, yes. Where are you?

I’m arriving at the station. 100 percent?

Yes, Gustaf. 100 percent. I’m going to send Frida the report.

No, don’t. Send it to me and then I’ll call you afterwards, okay?

- Gusti, one thing. - Yes.

Kalli isn’t in a great mood these days.

There’s a lot of pressure on him.

Try to dose the case as soon as possible.

What do you think we do here?

Do you really want me to answer that?

No. Bye.

Bye.

Fucking hell.

- Hi. - Hi.

Hi.

- Hi. - Aren’t you a bit early?

Yeah, I just couldn’t sleep. Want me to go home?

No, it’s all right.

Hi.

- Do you have painkillers? - Sorry.

- Anybody have painkillers? - No.

We should have a menstruation kit here.

With a heat pack and sweets.

Frida, I have some in my office.

Gusti has a menstruation kit?

Close the door.

I don’t have painkillers. Sorry.

Okay, what’s up then?

You were right.

The sample from the airbag...

It matches David. 100 percent.

So, he drove the car?

It’s very likely. We have to go to his place right now.

Bardur?

- Close the door. - Sure.

All right.

- We have to go. - We do? Where?

- Just US. - Why?

- Gusti. - Where are you going?

- We have to go. - No, we need to discuss this.

- Not now. - Discuss what?

They have to know.

Know what?

Male DNA was found on the airbag in Helena’s car.

It wasn’t Gabriel’s but we got a match.

David Helguson.

I’m going to ask you two to stay here, okay?

You’re picking him up?

We’ll just talk to him, not arrest him.

- I’m coming with you. - No, Tomas. No!

- Gusti. - No!

Babe...

It will all be all right, okay?

We know Helena hanged herself

but David needs to tell us why he moved her body.

The signs were all there.

It was so clear and I just...

I didn’t even ask if she was feeling suicidal.

Look...

Sometimes it just doesn’t matter what we say or do.

People will do what they do.

We can’t let it affect us.

I completely disagree.

I was on call during her attempt last year. I was very involved.

I should’ve seen it.

I mean, she...

She came to me. To me.

And I just let her leave.

There was no way...

You did everything right, Frida. You did everything right.

I didn’t do shit. That’s the problem.

Anita.

Anita.

Anita.

Are you coming

No. Gusti told us to stay here.

Are you kidding me? He killed my grandmother.

- You don’t know that. - I don’t know that?

He drove her car off the road, put her body in the front seat.

Why would he do that if he didn’t kill her?

She hanged herself!

Wow.

I thought you were on my side.

- Go around the house. - Okay.

I can’t see anything but his car is here.

- We’ll go in then. - Yeah.

Jesus Christ. David?

Frida.

Rigor mortis has passed.

Fuck.

Frida, we have to back away.

- Yes. Should I call forensics? - I’ll do it.

Shit.

- Tomas and Anita are here. - What?

- What should I do? - Fucking stop them.

- No. - I’m only going to talk to him.

Yes, hello. We need assistance.

There’s another body. Probably murder.

Yeah.

- You must go. - Where’s David?

Inside. He...

He’s...

He’s dead.

He’s... Yeah...

What?

How? When?

I don’t know. When did you last speak to him?

I don’t know. Three, four days ago.

Agnar called... Can I see him?

No. Absolutely not.

That’s not a good idea.

It looks like he’s been dead some time.

- Yeah, of course. - My condolences, my love.

Thanks.

- I don’t want to leave you... - No.

- I wish I could stay. - No, go. It’s fine.

Are you sure?

Okay, babe.

Come.

- Bardur. - Yes.

You stay here until the technicians arrive. They’re on the way.

Right. Do I need to stay inside?

No, just make sure no one enters. Okay.

Okay.

Thanks. Talk to you later.

Bye. Bye.

- Finish early today? - Yes.

She just woke up. Was on my way to feed her.

- I’ll do it. - All right. Here.

- Okay, thanks for today. - Sure, bye.

Bye.

Hi. Sorry, I’m about to take a shower. Come in.

- Did you see Anita? - Yes.

- How is she? - Fine? Why?

- Because of that uncle of hers. - What about him?

There are cops outside his house and an ambulance and... something.

What? Why?

Baldvin says he’s dead,

that there wouldn’t be so many cops if he’d just had a heart attack.

Are you saying someone killed him?

I don’t know, I just...

I keep thinking about the other night.

Stop this nonsense, Disa. Spirits don’t exist.

What do you know?

The guys said nobody had seen him for at least three days.

Three days ago we were playing the oujia board.

- Why would Salomon’s spirit kill David? - Because he was a gross rapist.

- What? - Even you said he was a creep.

I said he was a bit creepy.

Yeah, I mean...

Whatever, I just...

I feel kind of uncomfortable, you know?

I’m a bit scared... or... I mean...

What if something like that happens to us?

I mean...

Disa.

You’re not a creep.

You’re not a gross rapist.

Relax. Where are you hearing all this bullshit?

They keep talking about it on the chat and I’m trying to...

Oh, right, I’ll add you to the chat.

Let’s see.

- What? - Nothing.

- You’re staring at me for no reason? - You’re cute without makeup.

No, I’ve got acne.

Doesn’t matter to me.

I’m going home. See you.

Yeah, see you.

We have to check all cameras, sim cards and phones.

Okay, we’re looking at the women from the funeral?

And Gabriel.

If I were him I’d want to kill David.

Assuming he knew about the abuse.

She clearly said to me she hadn’t told anyone.

But it had been two whole days since your talk.

She could’ve talked to anyone.

She could’ve told Gabriel. Or Tomas.

Where...

Where did Tomas go after the funeral?

- Don’t go there. - Sorry, I have to ask.

He came to my place.

- What time? - Around 9 p.m.

- Why? - He was upset. And drunk.

He needed to confide in someone.

How drunk was he?

- This is Tomas. - How drunk?

He was a little drunk. Fine, a bit drunk.

- So, Tomas is drunk and angry... - Not angry.

.. around the time David was murdered.

Okay. I’ll speak to Tomas and you talk to Gabriel, all right?

Okay.

Jonna?

Jonna?

Jonna?

Anita?

Should we let Mum sleep?

Heida was with Gabriel. He’s got an alibi.

They ere sorting through stuff until midnight.

- What did Tomas say? - He was with Anita.

Then he went to your place and then home around 9 p.m.

So we’re looking at three hours where he has no alibi.

- He was with Anita, right? - Yes.

- She said that? - Yeah, she did.

- Then she drove down to the sands. - Why?

She just does. She finds it comforting, I think.

On another note, none of the women picked up.

But Audur stayed at Skalakot. I’ll check their cameras.

- Okay. - All right.

I think it’s weird. Right next to my house, a dead man.

About all that, we have to return the cross.

- No, I don’t think so. - That’s not happening.

This isn’t... I’m...

A man died. We just go to the church, return it.

And what? Walk right in and say, “Hey, want this one back?”

Why won’t you listen?

I’m telling you I feel bad and I want to return it.

Don’t be so stupid. Seriously, don’t be dumb.

I’m not fucking dumb or stupid, I just want to...

- I feel terrible and... - Baldvin!

What?

What?

Okay...

I moved the glass a little

and whispered in your ear.

- Are you kidding? - No.

Disa, are you kidding? It was so obvious.

Disa, come on.

You’re such a blonde. Such. A. Blonde.

So cute. Like a little puppy.

- How am I the stupid one here? - You knew?

- Look at her. - Go fuck yourselves.

- Disa, come one. - It was just a joke.

Disa, don’t be that way.

- Disa? - Jonna, can you not right now.

But are you okay?

- Baldvin is an idiot. - It’s not about him.

It’s about me.

I’m so fucking stupid.

- What’s wrong with me? - What do you mean?

You don’t understand.

You’re this cool, cute, confident chick

and I’m just a stupid bimbo.

- Everybody looks down on me, even you. - Absolutely not.

Everybody in there is insecure, especially Baldvin.

No.

I think you’re cool exactly the way you are.

You’re really funny and...

I love being around you.

- Sorry. - No, it’s fine.

I shouldn’t have...

- It’s fine. - I’m going.

But...

Frida?

It’s okay, Mummy’s coming.

What are you doing here?

She was crying in her stroller when I came by.

I didn’t want to wake you.

It’s okay. Look, who’s this?

Okay, but what are you doing here?

I needed to talk Jonna.

Thanks. And thank you for letting her do this.

She’s been very good with her.

I didn’t have much of a say. But you’re welcome.

Are you in town for long?

I don’t know.

I’m sure Gusti is happy to have you here.

I think he misses you.

She looks so much like him.

And not much like me.

Do you want coffee?

No, thank you. It’s a bit late for me.

I also just wanted to see you.

See how you were doing.

Just... Just fine.

Gusti said she doesn’t sleep well at his place.

The kids were the same. They had reflux.

It’s not that.

Hi.

May I hold her?

Sure.

Want to come?

Hi. Hello.

Yes, hi. How are you?

I feel like Jonna was like this just yesterday.

It’s okay. It’s all okay.

You want to go back to Mummy?

I want you to know that I don’t hate you.

I want things to be okay between us. For the kids’ sake.

Yeah.

Do you want to go to Mummy? There you go.

Nice to see you both.

I need a copy.

Right.

- Hi. - Hi.

- There’s something strange going on here.

They all met at Skalakot, then left and Audur returned alone in the morning.

- We need to interview them. - Okay. Bye.

He’s pretty bad. It’s been more than two days.

Yep.

- We can open the windows. - Bardur, windows.

There’s a piece of the tongue missing.

We’ll examine properly when we’re back in the city.

Dude, that’s a body bag.

Jesus. What the fuck, man?

Anita.

What?

How are you feeling, babe?

This whole thing just... How are you?

How did he die?

I don’t know.

Do you know who killed him?

He’s my friend so I shouldn’t investigate him.

Our friend. We know him.

I know, but we also knew Salomon.

Frida... Tomas is not Salomon.

I know.

I know Tomas is not Salomon. I’m just...

I shouldn’t even tell you this

but we’re interviewing Helena’s friends tomorrow and hopefully...

- What? - ...that’ll be the end.

I shouldn’t be telling you this. I can’t tell you any more.

Okay.

Anita.

- I’m going to... - Anita.

I’m fine, I just need a minute.

Okay.

- Are you alone? - Yes. Why?

You need to call Hildur and Audur.

The police are going to speak to all of you,

ask what you did after the funeral.

- They’ll ask about David... - Wait, David? Why?

His body was found yesterday.

You’re suspects, so you should...

Excuse me? Why would the police suspect us?

Because you had a reason to kill him.

What are you doing here, Anita?

Helena... hanged herself...

because of what he did.

She hanged herself at his place, moved her to the car

and tried to make it look like it was an accident.

She left a letter.

It said she wanted it to end in the place where her hell began.

And you should not be punished for what he did.
