Original subtitles

Mama?

-Mama? -Yes?

Would you rather eat only with a spoon or a fork?

That's a hard question to answer.

In Asia they use spoons instead of knives, and I love soup so...

I think I have to go with the spoon.

Then how would you cut vegetables, fish and meat?

I'd cook the vegetable until it was soft enough to cut with a spoon.

But then you don't get the crunch, and that's the best...

That's true. But that's why we have teeth. To bite with.

-Have you finished eating? -Yeah.

Go get ready.

What's wrong?

-Are you alone? -Yeah.

We have a problem.

They're saying they won't air the interview.

What do you mean?

A lawyer came by the studio.

You're joking.

Threatening us with court. They came by my house last night.

Told us to bury the story, for our own good.

They can't just censor us like this.

We'll just go to another station.

They'll all say the same.

I'm also worried about Kirstin and the baby.

I don't think I want to take this any further.

So you're saying...

All our work's for nothing, and Ragnar gets away with it?

I don't know. Let's meet, we'll figure something out.

I think we need help.

I'm taking Turið to school, then going to the Town Hall.

Meet me first. I've got the USB. We have to find out what's on it.

Yeah. I'll call you when I'm on my way.

Take your water bottle.

Get your jacket. I'll be right there.

Turið...

Remember what I told you if strangers come up to you?

Don't talk to them, okay?

Have fun.

Páll, what do we do now?

We need to give the story to someone else. Someone abroad.

They're obviously afraid of the information we have.

You're in just as much danger as me. They could come after you too.

I think you should skip the protest meeting tonight.

We can't just give up.

Think of your family. Think of Turið.

You're putting everyone around you in danger.

Hold on...

There's something wrong with my car!

Páll, can you hear me?

I can't control the car!

Páll?

Páll!

Come on...

Páll!

Just like the old days.

Except I'm not five now, I don't drink cocoa.

-Oh, come on... -Okay, I'll give him coffee.

We also have a gift for you.

It's for a Faroese waistcoat.

For real?

You'll get it fitted next week.

Isn't it expensive?

Yeah, but you're becoming a grown man now.

Hello.

Yeah.

Of course, I'll be right there.

This doesn't look good.

No.

What do we know?

I was close by when I heard the notice from police dispatch.

Who was driving?

Páll Hansen.

But Sonja á Heyggi called the emergency services.

Was she in the car too?

No, she was on the phone with him when it happened.

And how is he?

Alive, but he didn't look good.

And this is quite interesting.

Looks like the front wheel came off before the car rolled down here.

Any witnesses?

Not as far as I know.

We're hoping security cameras on the windmills caught it.

What else did Sonja say?

She demanded we double-check the car.

She was adamant that it wasn't an accident.

Okay. We need to talk to her again.

She agreed to come in to give a statement

but she hasn't yet, and she's not answering her phone.

Hey, Sonja...

What do I have to do to be taken seriously here?

What's going on?

You do nothing about the threats I get!

I get bombarded with messages on social media.

Now they've been in my home!

I found this bloody whale meat in my daughter's bed!

Let's try and calm down a bit.

I want police protection for my daughter.

Sonja, this is just...

I understand why you're afraid.

It's probably just another prank.

You break the law yourself as an activist.

You're practically asking for it.

Why do you claim the car crash wasn't an accident?

You're not going to help me.

Sonja, I can't help you if you don't tell me what's going on.

Find out what happened to Páll,

and you'll know who's sending me threats.

It wasn't an accident.

Sonja?

Oh, hey, Kirstin.

What are you doing here?

I just wanted to see how he's doing.

You've got nerve showing up here...

You think I don't know what's gone on between you two?

It's really not what you think.

Everything you touch falls apart.

I don't want to see you here again.

Leave now and stay away! Get lost!

Hey mum, are you home?

Can you do me a favor?

-Hey... -Hey.

Thanks for taking her.

Has something happened?

No. I just need to be alone for a while.

You're going to stay with Omma for a few days, okay?

Listen and do as she says.

I don't understand, where are you going?

It's only for a few days.

We'll see each other again soon. I promise.

Bye, dear. Love you.

Come in.

What did I do? Ask me what I did.

I put it in the freezer. It's definitely not going to waste.

What's so funny?

We were just talking about Sonja.

Like he says, it's not every day we get fresh whale meat around here.

Would you think it's funny if they threatened your little girl?

Weren't you two supposed to investigate her break-in?

Yes, we went there.

No one was there. No car, door locked, curtains drawn.

I put the report there.

Put it on my desk, then go and check again.

Do your police work properly and show some bloody respect.

Any news?

We've got some CCTV footage of Páll before the car crash.

Sonja still isn't answering or returning my calls.

Nor has she shown up for work. I'm still trying to reach her.

There's no other car in sight before he comes into frame.

Suddenly, he seems to start speeding up.

He starts losing control of the car...

This is before the front wheel comes off and he spins off the road.

Is this the only footage we have?

Yes, that's all we have.

Have we spoken to his wife?

No, not yet.

Let's do that. She might provide a bit more information.

How was he when he left home? How did he seem?

Fine. He's been struggling with a cold, but otherwise nothing.

You haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary lately?

No, he's been working a lot.

Maybe we haven't talked as much, but...

Then I saw him together with Sonja.

I saw them in the car and going into a hotel together.

-Karla. Anita. -Hey.

We had to put him in a medically induced coma for the time being.

For how long?

It depends. Long enough to stabilize him and his blood pressure.

His brain needs time to heal.

Once he's stabilized, we'll do a CT scan

to assess him for traumatic injuries to his head, neck, chest and stomach.

After that, we can slowly wake him up again.

-So he's going to make it? -Yeah.

But you have to be prepared, the longer he is in a coma,

the longer he needs to recover.

The nature of his injuries might cause some loss of brain function.

Only time will tell.

Why all this secrecy?

They fire me but tell the media I've resigned without notice.

They follow me everywhere, threaten me and my family.

A few days ago my kids' dog was run over.

This involves more than one person... or party...

This runs deep.

It's not just the big corporations.

The government too. The judicial system. The police.

These people are really dangerous.

Hannis Martinsson? You were born in the Faroes?

Yeah.

I hear it's so beautiful there.

I haven't been there myself, but maybe one day I'd be so lucky.

Your return from the US was flagged in our system

after you were detained for 24 hours.

And deported for working without a permit.

Plus intrusion on private property. You've had a hard drive confiscated?

They also took my pen. Said it could be used as a weapon.

That's just protocol. What exactly is your line of work?

I'm an investigative journalist.

What do you investigate?

Corporations.

Politicians.

The police.

You were detained by security guards, going through...

a waste container in a private company basement.

What were you doing there?

I was looking for some papers that'd been thrown out.

What papers?

A report that could expose illegal industrial pollution.

The real reason I was detained and deported

was that I interviewed the "wrong" people.

Who of course were the right people, who could expose these illegalities.

That's it. Is there anything else you want to know?

If not, I'd love to get my pen back.

Returning your pen might be a little difficult for me...

I'll have a look at this. Back in a few minutes.

Okay, Hannis Martinsson... Everything's alright.

Everything looks fine.

You just need to sign here, then you're free to go.

Take your time packing your bags. I'll be back in a bit.

Hey, Hannis...

My name is Sonja.

I've tried calling you, but it seems your phone is off.

I've been trying to think how I should reach out to you...

Then I thought a video might be slightly more personal. Never mind...

This is just a shot in the dark.

I don't know if you remember my mum, Aurora. Aurora a Heyggi.

She finally told me about you.

She told me you're my father.

Hey, dad.

Hey, dad.

But that isn't the only reason I'm trying to reach you.

I'd like to ask for some journalistic advice.

I'm working on something...

An investigation, similar to those you do.

I'm beginning to worry about my safety.

And the safety of my daughter...

your granddaughter.

My number is 737050.

Call me.

I really hope we can talk.

You'll be allowed to travel again tomorrow.

Have a nice trip onward. Give my best to the Faroes.

Thanks.

Sonja?

Turið?

Sonja...

Dear passengers, we're just waiting for our last passenger to board.

Then we'll be on our way shortly. Thank you.

Hannis?

Ragnar!

So?

What brings you back to the rocks?

Just a story I'm working on.

Okay. What about?

That's what I need to figure out.

If I can help you in any way, let me know.

I have a few connections that might prove handy.

Good day.

How can I help you?

They've sent me up here. I'd like to report a missing person.

Yeah?

It's my friend Sonja.

Sonja á Heyggi.

Sonja á Heyggi?

Can I help with anything?

I think my friend has gone missing. Sonja á Heyggi.

What makes you think that?

We were supposed to meet at a protest last night.

Sonja was to give a speech.

When was the last time you saw her?

We were on the phone yesterday. She said she was on her way.

Someone had broken into her house. I went by this morning, it's locked.

I've tried calling, but there's no answer.

I'm worried something happened. Maybe on her way out west.

She also told me she'd received several threats recently.

This just isn't like her.

Where was the protest held?

By Gásadalur.

Let's go for a drive.

Come.

Welcome home.

Thanks.

Where are you headed?

Tórshavn.

Shall I take your bags?

She's told me about you.

She told me you're my father.

Hey, dad...

You're sure she was headed here?

She said so.

We haven't seen any signs of an accident.

That's where the protest meeting was.

By the old boat landing?

Maybe she's out sailing with the Guardians?

That's odd.

What is it?

She's been using this car lately.

Don't touch anything!

I don't remember seeing this car here yesterday.

Hi, this is Hannis. Is this Sonja?

I'm Karla Mohr, head of investigations at Tórshavn police.

Sorry, I was trying to reach Sonja. I must have called a wrong number.

No, this is Sonja's phone.

Can I talk to her?

Sonja isn't here right now. Excuse me, what was your name?

Hannis Martinsson.

Hello?

Is that Sonja's phone?

Karla here. A car needs to be towed to the garage from Gásadalur.

And we need to put out a notice for Sonja á Heyggi.

We might have a missing person.

Sonja á Heyggi is now reported as missing.

If we don't hear from Sonja in the next few hours,

I'll initiate a nationwide search.

Durita, can you prepare a press release,

asking anyone who's seen her in the last 48 hours to come forward?

Dann, set up a communication center for the public to contact us on.

Gísli, follow up with the court on those digital search warrants

to find out who's been sending Sonja threats.

Anita, you're questioning her friends, family and colleagues.

I want every single stone turned. That's what it takes. Get to work.

POLICE

Karla?

Hold on a second.

There's someone here to see you. About Sonja.

Okay.

I'll call you back.

Good evening. Karla Mohr.

Did something happen to Sonja?

Sorry, I didn't catch your name.

Hannis Martinsson.

We talked on the phone earlier. On Sonja's number.

And how do you know Sonja?

I don't. I've just arrived from Copenhagen.

Sonja left me a message, asking me to contact her.

She said she had a story for me.

Did something happen to her?

You are saying Sonja contacted you, but you don't know her?

Can I see the message she sent you?

Why?

Is that a problem?

That's not how I work. Sorry.

Sonja is reported missing, so we're organizing a search party.

Hey, Hannis. My name is Sonja.

I've been trying to call you, but...

it seems your phone is off.

I've been thinking for a while how to reach out to you...

Thanks for being here this morning.

Your participation in this search is truly appreciated.

Yesterday, a person was reported missing.

Her car was found abandoned here in Gásadalur.

We're here to look for potential clues

as to whether she may have had an accident.

The missing person is Sonja á Heyggi.

Most of you probably know her.

As you can see, there's a storm approaching,

which can make us lose our orientation.

So let's work fast for as long as we can.

Let's find her before it's too late!

Hello?

Hello?

I am working on something...

I have been to the police... I don't trust anyone anymore.

Sonja's hat.

Hello?

What?

A pod of whales has been spotted in the fjord of Nólsoy.

Whalers are on their way now

but a Guardians of the Sea RIB boat is trying to disturb the hunt.

The police are securing Sandagerð Beach,

where the plan is to drive the whales in.

We have the right to be here.

The police urge people to not confront any anti-whaling activists.

There's something in the water!

There! A body just surfaced in the water!
