Original subtitles

The crimes were committed at Gullsondum. The home run by Anita’s grandmother.

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

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

She’s been like that all day.

I’ve walked around the house like 70 times,

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

It’s very difficult to be a parent.

I wish I had the instinct.

That I was somehow... better?

Because I feel like it shouldn’t be this difficult?

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.

David, please take me with you. I can’t be here without you.

You can leave now. Or you can spend the night.

Put it in your mouth.

He left me alone because

Ragnheidur, we were just kids.

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

We’re interviewing Helena’s friends tomorrow morning.

- The police suspect all of you. - Why would they suspect us?

Because you had a reason to kill him.

- You in touch with Reykjavik? - Yes.

Hi.

Hi. I don’t think you should accompany us. Sorry.

He’ll stay and help me prepare for the interrogation.

- Need help? - Please.

It’s this one, then that one. Then just zip it up.

- Same car? - Yeah, you drive?

Yep.

Reykjavik are on their way. Everything ready?

- Yes. - Yes.

- Anita? - Hi, Frida... I...

- My love. - I need to... I just...

- Did you need something? - Could you come home?

Babe, I’ve got to go. Talk to you later. Bye.

- Morning. - Hello.

- Is Audur Olfjord here? - Audur?

- Is she in? - What’s this about?

We just have to talk to her.

Okay, yes.

Just... follow me then.

Excuse me. Audur?

Yes, just a moment.

- Can I offer you two coffee or tea? - No. I’m done.

- Do you want to handcuff me? - I hope that won’t be necessary.

Thank you. Everything’s all right.

Hello.

Hi, Ragnheidur.

I was just about to call you.

We’d like to talk to you at the station.

Right.

Should I drive myself?

No. You’ll come with us.

Experience says Hildur Osk will likely resist arrest.

We don’t know her condition.

...some right-wing guy

and he’s doing something like...

Hildur?

- What? - Jesus. No!

- What’s going on? - No!

- Hildur! - Open the door. It’s the police.

No. No. No!

Mum

We have to take these down soon.

Once more. You were at the cemetery with Anita.

Then you went to Frida’s. Then what?

I went home.

Nobody can confirm that though. I cried.

I had a cup of tea, then Heida came home.

- You already asked me. - And you know why.

Yes, and I’m not lying.

You know that.

- And I know what he did. - What?

I know what David did.

Sorry, how do you know?

Anita told me after the funeral.

Tomas. What did she tell you?

What he did to those women.

I know...

I know it’s wrong to say...

But the world is better with him dead.

Anita? Anita, I know you’re awake.

What’s wrong with you? You can’t leave her alone.

- Don’t you care she’s upset? - I do. I’ll take her.

- Didn’t you hear her? - Yes, children cry.

This wasn’t just crying. This is unacceptable.

- I’m trying... - You have to do more than try.

- Do something. - I can’t.

This just... doesn’t suit me.

What’s really going on?

What do you want me to do?

Do you see the position you’re putting me in?

Why were you talking to Ragnheidur?

And Tomas? You should’ve come straight to us.

Gusti, you completely shut me out.

- Are you a child? - I begged you to let me help.

- David might still be alive if... - You don’t know that.

Okay, Gusti.

I need help.

We’re all helping you.

But if push comes to shove, I won’t lie for you again.

Not a fucking chance.

And if you need help, get help.

But you can’t care for Erla right now.

- No, don’t take her. Gusti! - I’m just taking her to Jonna.

If you want to tell her why, you can, but we’re leaving.

Hello, Hildur. How are you?

It’s okay. Let’s just be honest.

We’ll take it slow and I’ll be right here beside you, okay?

We’re okay, right?

- About time. - Sorry, I’m late.

All right.

- Good morning. - Morning.

Well...

- This won’t take long. - I didn’t do anything.

Sure. Then we’ll just make that clear, all right?

Yes.

Let’s go to the office, this way.

Has Gusti spoken to you?

Are you okay?

Is this Ragnheidur?

Yes. Next to your grandma.

It’s strange that Grandma is smiling.

Why do you find it strange?

Because I know what David did.

Okay. Did your grandma tell you?

No.

Anita did.

- Hi. - Hi. I just spoke to Tomas.

- What’s going on? - Doesn’t matter, we’ll talk later.

What did Anita tell him?

- I just... - I’ll talk to her.

I was just there. Jonna has Erla. We must start the interrogation.

- Reykjavik has started theirs. - I’ll just run home.

No, Frida. Anita lied.

She knew what he did. Something’s wrong.

She really fucked up. We need answers. We need Ragnheidur to confess.

I’m almost there.

Mum, I think I want to go home.

I don’t want things to be this way.

I’m sorry.

Karl.

It wasn’t the blow to the head that killed David.

What then?

Petechial haemorrhages.

So he’s beaten, then what? He drowned in his own blood?

No, someone probably suffocated him.

There are pressure marks on his face.

That was the last I heard of him until you told me he had passed.

So you saw him three weeks ago and nothing since.

That’s right. Any idea how long this will take?

I have to get this.

Just because I forgot my cigarettes.

Right. Gotcha.

We can take care of that.

- I’ll get something for the ash. - Thanks.

- What about this? - Thank you.

Be right back.

- If it’s the hotel, I can pay. - That’s not the issue.

- I know, but I’m asking you to stay. - She needs some space.

- Sure but... - Is that Anita? Can I talk to her?

It’s Steffi.

My love.

- Give me the phone. - Gusti!

- Sorry. Hang up. - I want to talk to her.

We need to finish the interrogation.

We’ll get the confession, then we can talk to Anita together.

Thank you.

Fine.

This is something...

Is she smoking in my office?

Yeah. Don’t make a fuss.

Okay.

- Smoking is prohibited in the building. - Of course, sorry.

You went to Ragnheidur’ What time was that?

My eyes aren’t usually glued to my watch but it was pretty early.

They came the day before the funeral.

Hildur took the bus. I picked her up at the station.

Audur arrived in her fancy SUV.

And what did you do?

We just... talked about old times and made a toast to Helena.

Toasted her death?

Her life.

- Did you get drunk that night? - No, we met at noon.

Hildur was already a bit tipsy.

Audur brought cognac.

- So you got drunk at lunch. - Well, they drank. I don’t drink.

They were absolutely pissed when I arrived.

I’ve never been much of a day drinker.

But they wanted to toast Helena.

I see.

A toast is required when people around you start dropping dead.

Audur went to the hotel and I made the bed for Hildur

so the poor thing could sleep a bit.

Then I just tidied up, folded the laundry and went to bed early.

Audur returned the next day

right before the funeral.

.. such a beautiful funeral.

The flowers were so beautiful.

Lilies.

They’re my favourite flowers

but I wish I’d known they were Helena’s favourite too.

There was also a jellied shrimp cake.

Nobody ate that.

It’s been so long since I saw one of those.

She hated shrimp. I found it a bit funny.

The three of us sat together during the ceremony

and then went to the wake.

I said hello to people. Paid my respects and all that.

We spoke to you.

Yeah, I think I might have asked you to call me.

- Yes. - Which you didn’t do.

No.

Then there was that girl.

Sorry, policewoman.

She was asking questions.

Extremely rude of her. And to be frank, immoral.

What kind of questions?

Just... how I knew Helena.

- Do you remember what she looked like? - Excuse me.

Yes. I remember.

Blonde, horrid roots. Frida.

That Anita came after and continued

so I simply left because I was extremely offended.

You met each other at Gullsondum.

Yes.

Would you tell us about the home?

There’s not really much to tell.

It was a long time ago and it’s all a bit hazy.

You were 14 when you were placed there?

- 13 years old. - 13...

But that’s like 16 today.

Did you talk to Anita about your time there?

No. Why would we have done that?

- How about David? - No.

- Did you talk to anyone else at the funeral?

- And afterwards? - I told you, I left.

No, I didn’t talk to anyone.

I went straight to the hotel and then to the city early the next day.

You didn’t meet again? You, Hildur and Ragnheidur.

No.

What did you do after the funeral?

Hildur and I went to my place, chatted a bit and then went to bed early.

- And Audur? - She went straight to the hotel.

- US I. - Why don’t you answer your mobile?

It’s on silent. I’m in my office with Ragnheidur.

Your office? So she can hear everything we say.

Yes. I’ll call back in a minute. Sorry about that.

- Hi, what’s new? - Well...

What has she said?

They met the day before and had a drink,

spoke about old times and so on.

Then they went to the funeral,

Hildur went home with Ragnheidur and Audur went to the hotel.

Right. We’re familiar with Hildur here at the station.

Really? I don’t remember her.

She ends up here from time to time.

Always been harmless but a big drinker.

Yeah, that fits Ragnheidur’s story.

She doesn’t drink herself.

Oh, really? She does according to Audur.

She said she was sober while the other two got drunk.

Oh, okay, well...

- Anything about the hotel? - Just that they didn’t go there.

The other two said the same. They’ve come up with a story.

Right.

Listen, let’s just get to it. They’re all lying.

- Great. - One more thing, my friend.

He was suffocated. The blow didn’t kill him.

- What? - He was suffocated.

- Gusti? - Yes, I...

- What’s wrong? - I’ll talk to you in a bit.

Can we talk?

I don’t have a lot in the kitchen so I can’t offer you breakfast.

Would you like coffee?

No, thanks. I don’t eat breakfast.

What?

Don’t eat breakfast.

I know. We’re the same.

You’re going to start telling the truth.

We know you visited Audur at the hotel that night.

We have surveillance photos.

Here you are arriving.

And here you’re leaving.

Here Audur leaves a bit later.

And she comes back the next morning wearing new clothes.

What happened?

We just wanted to know how Audur was doing.

I forgot that they...

they came over for a short visit.

Then I went out for a walk.

You all seem to have forgotten that.

Hildur. How about just telling the truth?

Why are you in different clothes when you return?

It was raining and... muddy.

I borrowed clothes from Ragnheidur.

Who lives in... what was it?

Brakandi.

That’s 15 kilometres from town.

You don’t trek all the way there and back in the rain in three hours, do you?

So you must have gone by car.

Yes. I drove.

Did you go to David’s place and murder him?

No.

Okay.

We have pictures that prove you are lying.

- We know you had a reason to kill him. - A good reason.

The best thing you can do right now is tell the truth.

Hildur had nothing to do with this. She wasn’t involved.

She drank until she passed out. Slept until morning.

Audur... went to him by herself.

Just needed...

I just needed to see him.

Just wanted to...

to speak to him.

He totally lost his mind and attacked her.

Then he started kissing me and he got aggressive.

I was just trying to get away from him.

They all hated him. Even his mother hated him.

But not me. Only meant to talk to him.

I didn’t know he would attack me.

I thought he would...

What did you think he would do?

He was going to kill me.

If it was self-defence, why not report it?

I was afraid.

He was alive, he told me to go.

“Leave,” he said.

Jonna, hi. I’ve got pizza.

Quiet!

I’ve got double pepperoni and pepper cheese.

Have some.

I don’t eat meat or cheese.

Why not?

I’m vegan.

- Let’s go back and get a vegan one. - It’s fine, I’ll just eat the crust.

- Is crust vegan? - Yeah, it is in this town.

- It’s really not a problem. - Hang on.

I’m watching Erla so...

- If she’s asleep, she can come. - No.

- Just take the pram. - Baldvin, no. Wait.

What did you hit him with?

A wrench.

- Where is it now? - I don’t know, I threw it somewhere.

There it is.

So she just grabbed what she found and defended herself.

It was self-defence.

- And then? - She came to me.

- Hi, darling. - Can you come right away?

- What? - Mum.

- What is it? - Er! a is gone, I can’t find her.

- What? My love. - She’s not here. She’s disappeared.

I’m coming.

Audur has confessed that she hit David with the wrench.

We know you went to see David after that.

This is your last chance to tell your story.

All right.

We’ll just see what Audur has to say.

He was alive when she left. I finished the job.

Okay. You’re doing the right thing. I’ll call Kalla.

- What happened? - We’ll finish this later.

No, now. What happened?

When Audur came, she was bruised and bloody after his attack.

She was very upset.

I decided to go to his house to confirm that he was dead.

Which he wasn’t.

He attacked me when I arrived.

I know he would have killed me so I took the wrench.

- And? - I beat him.

- Really? How many times? - I don’t know.

Until he stopped moving. Until he was dead.

And that’s what he deserved.

You don’t who he really was.

You know nothing about him, about our story.

You don’t understand anything. He would have killed all of us.

- He killed Helena. - What?

Yes. I know about the note.

- What note? - The suicide note Helena left with David.

- The one you found there. - We didn’t find a note.

Where did you get this note?

Anita told me about it.

What did it say

Anita told me that note had said... it said that Helena...

Helena wrote, “I need to end my life where my hell began.”

Why did she bring it to you?

Because she knew you suspected us.

She wanted to help us.

Anita came to my house a few days ago.

She wanted to know how we were treated,

if Halla and David had been in love, which is utter nonsense.

But why...

Why Halla and David?

Because David was Salomon’s father.

Gusti!

Gusti! Gusti.

Steffi, I’m in the middle of an interrogation.

You don’t answer your phone!

She was in... She was in her pram and someone came...

Jonna put the pram out and she was there and...

- Calm down. - Jonna called you!

I’m in an interrogation! What are you on about?

Erla has disappeared!

Anita!

Anita! Gusti, can you hear me?

Yes, I’m here.

Are they home?

What do you see?

Frida.

Frida.

Frida.

David. Oh, God...

What happened? Let me see. Let me look.

Fuck. What happened?

David.

What is this letter doing here?

What is it doing here?

What did you do?

What?

Hi, darling.

This ends with us.
