01x06 - Gríma

[bunniefuu]

[somber ethereal music playing]

[wind blowing]

[metal rattling]

Hello.

[breathing rapidly]

Baa...

- Baa...
- [squeals, snorts]

[breathing heavily]

[Rakel crying]

[breathing heavily]

[sniffles]

[engine revving]

Maybe you should go to a doctor.

I just want to go home.

You do realize that
we look exactly the same?

I think that we're the same person.

- How?
- I don't know.

I think it's the same
with you and my sister.

Ása?

Yeah.

Was I with her?

I don't know.

I hope that you can help me
understand what's going on.

[engine shuts off]

Mikael!

Mikael!

Mikael!

Mikael!

[exhales]

Mikael!

Hey there, son...

Are you alone out here?

[knock at door]

Where's Kjartan?

Getting hay.

Do you remember where you came from?

No.

You must remember something.

I don't know what to tell you.

What's the last thing you recall?

I picked up Ása in Reykjavík

after a bender.

Why are you here?

- I live here.
- No, I mean...

Why do you exist? What is your purpose?

What's your purpose?

- You know how to work it, right?
- Yes, thanks.

[vehicle door opens]

[sighs] His mom doesn't answer.

Nothing?

No, it goes straight to voicemail.

Do you have your father's phone number?

No.

You said your dad's name is Darri?

Are you staying at the hotel?

Call . Ask for the hotel.

[knock at door]

[sighs]

There's a phone call for you.

Hello?

[woman] Hello, is this Darri?

Yes.

Hello. My name is Stefanía Rafnsdóttir.

I have your son here with me, Mikael.

My... My husband and I
are driving to Reykjavík from Vík.

And we found him all alone roaming
in the sands, so we picked him up.

- And his mother wasn't with him?
- No, he was all alone, poor thing.

Mm-hmm.

Where are you now?

We are at the riverbank.

Can you wait there?

[Stefanía] Yeah, we can wait.

Hey, your son is in the car with me.
Don't you want to talk to him?

No, no. It's okay.

Thank you.

Yeah. Thanks.

[phone beeps off]

[door opens]

Hi.

Is he here?

- Why did you run off with him?
- Darri, I just wanted to protect him.

Don't you think
the police would have done that?

[Rakel takes a deep breath]

[sighs] I did a terrible thing.

What?

We were caught in the storm and...

and I left him there.

When I went back to get him,

I couldn't find him.

[inhales sharply]
And I don't know where he is.

[crying] I lost him.

He's okay.

Some old couple picked him up.

Where are they?

Uh, we can pick him up by the riverbank.

[engine shuts off]

[coughing]

- [exhales]
- [door closes]

[sniffs]

[sighs]

[light clattering]

Can I help you with something?

Hi, darling.

Hi. I was trying to reach you.

Was your phone off?

My phone?

I'm making meat soup. [blows]

[Gísli] Wait...

What...

How...

Have you recovered?

Wha... What do you mean?

What are you doing?

Gísli?

Are you okay?

I was gonna call Einar.
Invite him for dinner. It's been so long.

[respirator hissing]

That poor woman.
She hasn't said a word since I got home.

[respirator hissing]

[man grunts]

Yeah, yeah. Your dad must be coming soon.

I don't want him to get me.

[man] Oh? Why not?

I want my mom.

Yes, I'm afraid
we just couldn't reach her.

Your dad is probably worried sick
about you. I know I would've been

if our son had gone missing at your age.

He doesn't care about me.

He said that I wasn't his son.

- I'm sure he didn't mean that.
- [Mikael] Yes, he did.

He told my mom that I was dead.

And then he hurt me.

He stuck me with a needle,
and locked me inside a shed.

What are you saying?

[Mikael] I almost froze to death.

I shouldn't have run off with him.

I just... I couldn't bear losing him again.

I think you're right, though.

He could be dangerous.

[chopping]

[Gísli sighs] Yeah.

[breathing deeply]

[chuckles lightly]

Look...

You just cut the stem
right here, and then rip, like this.

[Gísli breathing heavily]

- Oh, my love.
- [sighs]

- What's wrong?
- [crying] I'm just... [sighs]

...so happy...

[chuckles softly]

- ...that you came...
- [Magnea chuckles]

...back.

[both chuckle softly]

[Magnea moans softly]

- [Gísli sighs]
- [Magnea chuckles lightly]

We have to get you a haircut.

Yeah.

[breathing deeply]

[blender whirring]

- [door scraping]
- [respirator hissing]

[Magnea] Hello.

How are you?

Are you hungry? I made you some dinner.

Look.

Here. It's just a smoothie
with kale and some apples.

[glass clatters]

[Gísli] I...

Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay.

Let me clean this up. Oh...

- [gasping]
- [Gísli sighs]

[Gísli] Let me see...

[tense music playing]

[water running]

[Gísli sighs]

What?

This?

[Gísli] Hmm.

- [sighs]
- [phone dialing]

[line ringing]

[sighs] Answer.

[recording] Hi, this is Kjartan.

- I can't come to the phone...
- [phone beeps off]

[phone ringing]

[phone beeps]

Hello.

Hey, were you trying to call me?

Is everything okay?

Yes, I, um...
I wanted to ask when you'd be back.

Yeah, I'm still back east, I'll be back in
about two or three hours or something.

Okay. I'll see you then.

You sure you're okay?

Yep. Yeah, I'm okay.
I'll see you when you get back.

Okay. See you.

- Okay, bye.
- [phone beeps off]

[other Gríma] Did you stop playing?

Isn't it time to make some changes?

You haven't changed
a thing since Mom d*ed.

Where do you come from?

What?

Who made you?

- I think I was just born.
- No, you weren't born. I was born.

Do you remember?

What's the first thing you remember?

What's the first thing you remember?

[melancholy piano tune playing]

[takes a deep breath]

When I lost Mom in the store.

One minute she was right there.

And the next she was just gone.

Even though there were people around,
I've never felt so alone.

You don't want to touch the piano.

Is it because you have
no one to play for anymore?

- [wind howling outside]
- [sighs]

Hi.

[exhales]

[in Swedish] I have no phone reception.
Can I use yours?

Yes, of course.

The bad reception here

is both a blessing

and a curse.

Yeah, sure.

[line ringing]

- [dog whining softly]
- [phone ringing]

- Hello?
- Hi.

Hi.

What took you so long?

- I am eating.
- Ah.

Did you find the frozen pizzas?

I just finished the last one.

Remember to turn off the oven
when you're done.

Should I call the neighbors
and ask them to do some shopping for you?

I can do it myself.

Ah. Okay.

Mom...

I can feel that you

are hiding something.

What's so important there?

Remember the other Gunhild that...

I know there's something more.

You wouldn't have
left me alone if it wasn't important.

No.

What's going on there?

It's complicated.

I've been thinking...

You were in Iceland about years ago.

Right?

Yes.

And I am years old...

Yes.

I have to go now.

I just wanted to call
to hear how you were doing.

I'll be home in a few days.

[dial tone]

Hello?

Björn?

[receiver clatters]

[melancholy music playing]

[gasps]

[in English] Gunhild.
Please, you're bleeding.

Here, Gunhild.

You're bleeding!

We have to see the doctor.

[Gísli] Dear Lord, thank you
for bringing my wife back to me.

I will be forever grateful,

and I'll never forget that
this is the will of God almighty.

Even though I can't see the big picture,

I believe and trust
that you will lead me to victory.

Because it is you, my savior,

who fights for me.

Amen.

- [water running]
- [phone ringing]

- Gísli!
- [Gísli] Yes.

- Someone's calling you.
- [grunts]

Yeah, just put it down.
I'll call back later.

SHE IS A DEVIL! GET HER OUT!

[water stops]

[Gísli] What are you doing?

Put that down! What...
Are you going through my pockets?

[monitor beeping]

[clears throat]

[humming]

- [Þór] How's she feeling?
- [Vigdís] She's sleeping.

[Þór] What's wrong with her?

[Vigdís] Bleeding's not uncommon during
pregnancy due to increased blood volume.

- Is it dangerous?
- No, no, not necessarily.

But I just want to keep her
here overnight, just to be safe.

Okay. Should I stick around here?

Well, I gave her a sedative

and she won't wake up
until tomorrow morning.

I'll be in touch with you
if anything changes.

Hmm?

Yeah, all right, then.

- Thanks.
- Okay. Yeah.

- [footsteps departing]
- [door opens]

[door shuts]

[engine revving]

[Darri] You gotta be
f*cking kidding me. They're gone.

[sighs]

[engine shuts off]

Excuse me. Do you have a phone?

Could I make one phone call?

[phone ringing]

[phone beeps]

Yes.

Yeah, sure.

- Okay.
- [engine revving]

[Stefanía] This is the right thing to do.

- I'm sorry.
- What do you mean?

Considering the abuse
the boy has described to us,

then this is something for
the Child Protection Services to decide.

- Darri, let me talk to her.
- Wait.

If you... If you just gave me
a chance to explain this.

No, there's nothing to explain.

From what the boy told us,
I believe what he said.

And we are taking him
to the police in Reykjavík.

[Darri] Okay, I understand,
but I have to warn you.

He's dangerous.

We suspect he might be dangerous.

[Stefanía] Dangerous?
What's wrong with you? He's just a child.

I don't want to hear this nonsense.
We are taking him with us.

[dial tone]

She hung up on me.

Where are they going? What did they say?

They're taking him
to the police in Reykjavík.

- No.
- Maybe it's for the best.

No, that's not what we had discussed!
We wanted to bring him back!

What do you want me to do?
I'm not the one who abandoned him.

Well, maybe you shouldn't have
locked him in that g*dd*mn shed.

This is not my fault.

We wouldn't be here if you hadn't left him
out in the middle of nowhere by himself.

- I was alone and frightened.
- Yeah, sure.

- You're always alone and frightened.
- Darri, you know, I... No.

When Mikael was born, you decided
to work freakin' more than ever.

Yes, then I was alone and frightened!

And when he started school
and they bullied him,

you just went to Peru for two months
to study some f*cking volcano!

The bullying, the fire at the school,

and even at the hospital,
I was alone and frightened.

And when he d*ed, you finally left.

I-I... I didn't mean it like that.

We have never been
on the same team, Darri.

You always use your work as an excuse
for not dealing with me or Mikael.

So maybe it'll be better if you get
the hell back up on that f*cking glacier

while I drive by myself
to Reykjavík to sort this out.

[breathing deeply]

[door scraping]

Wait, what...

- No, no.
- What are you doing?

- Don't you trust me?
- Why did she call me a devil?

She's just jealous because
she's ill and you're young and healthy.

I know that you're lying to me, Gísli.

- [footsteps departing]
- [sighs]

[respirator hissing]

[Gísli] What are you doing?

- Just going out for a walk.
- To where?

- To see Einar.
- No, you can't do that.

You can't just go out for a walk.

- It's dangerous out there.
- I'll take the car, then.

Magnea.

Magnea!

I won't be long. I just need
to get outside for some fresh air.

[door scraping]

- I just need to get out.
- She is you.

In a few years.

I can't explain it.

I thought I'd lost my mind,
but now I know this is real.

You two are the same person.

This is His work.
Our Lord has sent you to me.

Magnea.

- [door shuts]
- [Magnea grunts]

Gísli! Gísli, ah! What are you doing?

Ah! Gísli! Gísli! Ow!

[Magnea grunting]

- [Gísli grunts]
- Stop it!

[gasps] Gísli! Gísli!

Gísli, stop it! Ah!

[thumping]

[panting]

[Magnea breathing shakily]

[gasps] Gísli!

Gísli! [gasps]

- [gate rattling]
- Gísli!

Open up!

Gísli! Gísli!

HOUSE OF HAPPINESS

Gísli! Open up!

Gísli!

Gísli!

Open this gate right now!

- [crying]
- [r*fle slide clicks]

Gísli, open up!

- [classical music plays on radio]
- Gísli, open it!

[banging on gate]

[banging on gate]

[rapid knocking on gate]

[distant rumbling]

[phone ringing]

[line ringing]

[phone ringing]

[dog whining]

[knocking on window]

[woman] Hello, Björn.

- [in Swedish] Hello, Lukas.
- Hi.

Could you watch Lukas for a few days?

Yes, no problem.

[in English] You want some music?
I can turn the radio on.

Hi.

Hi.

[Stefanía] Do you live in Reykjavík, dear?

I guess we live there now too.

In Breiðholt. Have you been there?

I was a teacher in Vík before we moved.

What's your school's name?

Where are you guys taking me?

We're gonna figure out where your mom is.

And then she'll pick you up in Reykjavík.

I know that you're lying to me.

[man] We're telling you the truth.

[blade clicking]

Let me out!

[Stefanía] Are you crazy?

[gasping, choking]

- No! Ah!
- [tires squealing]

[ominous music plays]

What are you going to tell Kjartan?

I don't know.

Won't you just tell him the truth?

- It's just not that simple.
- Why not?

He trusts you.

Don't you trust him?

Of course I do.

Then what's the problem?

Have you stopped loving him?

No.

Are you sure?

[phone ringing]

I don't know.

- [Einar] Gríma.
- Hello.

Can you hear me? There was
a car accident. You have to come with us.

- Was anyone injured?
- Yes, it was a fatal crash.

At least two are dead.

- Okay.
- I'm on my way to pick up my Dad.

Can you meet at the ferry?

Gríma?

Gríma? Gríma, are you there?

Yes, I'll meet you there.

- Okay, be quick.
- [phone beeps off]

[dialing tones]

[recording] Hi, this is Kjartan.

- I can't come...
- [sighs]

[dialing tones]

- Hi, this is Kjartan. I can't come...
- [phone beeps off]

I HAD TO RUSH OUT... THIS WOMAN...

[melancholy music plays]

I have to go.

[door opens]

[door shuts]

[Einar] Gríma is on her way.

Dad. Hurry.

I HAD TO RUSH OUT. THIS WOMAN ISN'T ME.
I'LL EXPLAIN WHEN I GET HOME.

[Gríma] Hi.

Hi.

[intense music playing]
