01x01 - The k*lling

[bunniefuu]

Elle?

Where you going?

Elle, f*cking d*ck tease!

You're always running off!

You think you're so much

better than everyone else!

Hello?

I can't hear The line's bad

Hello?

What are you doing?

You know I always sit up

and wait for you.

Ok, I'm going to bed.

How did you get home?

Where were you?

I have to be allowed to go to a party

like other normal people.

Other "normal people" don't have

an important job waiting for them.

-And responsibilities.

-Good night.

The classic

serial k*ller is a man.

And his victims,

so called soft targets

are women.

Something happened early

in his life

and now he wants revenge

on women.

It is not spontaneous.

It is planned.

It is fantasies that he's

turned into reality.

The police are frighteningly often

unable to see connections

between different cases.

And the leaders of the investigations

are men.

Just as the k*ller is a man.

And the victims are women.

Soft targets.

Girls.

And this happens over and

over again.

But the worst of all

is this wall of ignorance you

meet as a woman

when you try to speak up.

Men listen to woman only

as an obligation.

But not if they don't have to.

And that is perhaps

the most frightening part.

And what it makes it possible

for a serial offender

to develop.

From a disturbed young boy

into a sadistic, full-blooded

serial k*ller.

I asked you to not be so

personal in your lecture.

Has there been another complaint?

Yeah.

Some of the students think

you're too involved.

That you don't have

enough distance.

You're scaring them, Maja.

You need to take it down a bit.

You know, it doesn't take much to

create a storm these days.

Isn't that exactly what

academia needs?

That women and other under-

represented groups contribute

based on their experiences?

That's not what we're talking

about and you know it's not.

Are you talking to me as the

professor and my tutor

or as my boyfriend now?

What is this?

Why are you so aggressive?

Can't you just take

good advice?

Don't draw personal

experiences and

repressed anger

into your work at

the University.

Alright.

I'll suppress myself and keep

my mouth shut from now on.

f*ck sake.

I found a mobile in the snow

on the way home.

It rang, but

Something could have happened

to whoever owns the phone.

But I don't know whose it is.

Yeah, OK.

There's always something else. Always

something more exciting than this.

Hello?

This is Elle, who is it?

Sofie? Is that you?

Have you gone away already?

Sofie?

No, this is Elle.

I can't hear you.

Call when you're there.

This is Elle, I found

Hello?

-Hi!

-Hi! Is Sofie home?

Have you heard from her?

No, I haven't.

Did she not come home yesterday?

She left the party way before me.

I found this.

You can give that to her.

She always goes off for a

few days at a time.

She's likely with some

friends or a boyfriend.

I'm sure you'll see her first.

Was it you who called Sofie?

Do you know where she

might have gone?

Has she received any messages?

Has she talked with anyone

on the phone?

-Do you know if anything has happened?

-Why are you doing this?

I'm scared that something might

have happened with her.

And nobody's doing anything.

She told me that she was

going to leave.

Leave? Where to?

A hotel, I think.

Hotel?

Some kids saw some lights in

the tent by the caravan.

"Some kids saw some lights."

And it's still closed for winter here?

Yes.

Go and talk with her.

OK?

Female. Partly undressed.

Between 15 and 25 years old.

k*lled.

Probably strangled. I think I

see some marks around her neck.

She's been lying here for a while.

It looks bad.

So Roy Eliassen has just been

convicted of aggrevated as*ault.

He's out on probation, and it would be

typical of him to mess it up.

We should talk to him.

f*ck, look at it.

It's a lot worse than last time.

They live here?

Lets check the back first.

What the hell is this?

Where is Roy?

-What do you want with Roy?

-I need to talk to him.

Why is that? Has he done

something wrong?

That's what I want to talk to him about!

Where is he?

Hey! Stop!

Roy! Relax! We just want

to talk to you.

See this.

It's where I come from.

In your hometown?

Town? It's more a village.

The girl was found strangled

and undressed in a caravan.

She disappeared from a

village miles away.

The Police have arrested a

27 year old man

from the district previously

convicted of violence

and drug related crimes.

It's obvious they have

the wrong guy.

And you can just tell that,

just like that?

Violence and drug related crimes

point toward an individual

with poor control over his impulses.

This man, who kidnapped

and transported

this girl miles and then k*lled her

Is the opposite.

He is someone with

total control.

This is not just a m*rder.

This could be a serial k*ller.

Yeah, ok

I know this community.

I know the police.

I know what it's like to

be a girl who's

completely overlooked, ignored.

I know what it's like to

be a soft target.

That's why I chose Criminal Psychology

in the first place.

And this b*stard

is still a free man.

and is probably already

fantasizing about doing it again.

But you're not thinking of

using this case

for your own dissertation?

-Well, I

-Maja, please. Don't go back there.

Don't ruin this for yourself now,

after all these years.

-Hi.

-I've called three times, where are you?

I just arrived,

I didn't hear the phone ring

I'm staying at my

Grandmother's old house.

-Ok.

-Look,

it's still light outside.

The world famous midnight sun.

Wow. Amazing.

Will you be able to sleep?

I don't know. People around

here are used to it.

Guess I'll just have to give it

a few days and

then I guess I'll sleep

just like normal.

Hm. Have you talked

with your family yet?

I don't know, I just

I'm here to work, not socialize.

Right. So what's your plan?

I'm going to see the local police.

Ok. And you really think

they'll give you access to the case?

-Well

-Just remember

there's a lot of prestige involved

when it comes to m*rder cases.

This is my field of expertise!

I'm just saying try to avoid

stepping on anyones toes.

-Yes.

-Just remember to be careful and not

Yes! I shall be very diplomatic.

No way!

If it ?s not Dr. Philos herself!

You and academic titles, Johan.

You mustn't forget I've been

through primary school, Maja.

Listen

Hi.

This is Maja, Erik,

who I've told you about.

Oh, yeah. Johan is a bit

in love with you.

-Did you not know?

-Now, f*cking cut that out.

You don't talk about

anything else.

I am impressed!

Maja went away and

made a career.

Out in the World, Erik!

"Out in the World, Erik".

Listen. I've been following

the Sofie case.

We nailed him in just a few weeks.

And in the middle of all the

f*cking Police reforms

and the consolidation of the counties,

that has complicated everything.

Troms and Finnmark is a

very, very bad idea.

I heard he confessed?

Eventually.

His timeline was all over the place.

He started lying, and then

he really messed things up for him self.

-You know how it is.

-How many hours?

Can I read through the interrogations?

What are you thinking?

I can't let outsiders influence

the work of the police.

I'm in the middle of my dissertation

and it would be very valuable to dive

into a case of this type.

What are you writing it on?

The psychology behind

male serial abusers.

Serial abusers?

As in serial K*llers?

That too, yes. But no one uses

that term outside the U.S.

A serial k*ller?

Here?

I don't understand what you want?

We've solved the case,

we have the offender.

-I'm not so sure about that.

-No, f*cking hell!

-Fine.

-Fine?

Okay!

Yes that went well.

f*cking hell! Jesus!

-Hi! Welcome back.

-Thanks.

Your room is ready.

Thanks very much.

Hi, Dad!

Maja?

-Hi.

-Hello!

Why didn't you call?

Is there something wrong?

Has something happened?

Classic dad, "Is something wrong"

You need to stop worrying.

-That's a fathers lot in life.

-To worry?

Yes? Because you're not exactly

coming home to join the party?

-The party?

-It's St. Hans' today.

The longest day of the year.

We'll meet down by

the water as usual.

You're welcome to come.

Your mum will certainly be

very happy to see you.

-You think so?

-Mhm!

Dad

I can't f*cking stand the

the family, and

the looks, and

I'm not part of that,

and you know it.

I thought you were working on

your doctoral dissertation.

I've not heard from you in a

long, long time.

Yes, I'm working on it.

I've moved into grandma's old

house, temporarily,

to take a closer look at a case.

The girl who was found

m*rder*d at the campsite

You covered the case quite

extensively in the newspaper.

It's a case that the local police

are proud they solved,

but now everyone

just wants it finish.

Yeah?

That's clear. That they

just want it finished.

But?

I'd really like to see everything

you've written about the case.

Quite a few pictures have been

published, but I assume that

you in the editorial office have

more material.

I would like to look at all of the

pictures, research, interviews.

I didn't write anything about that

case I don't have the

possibility to give you

access to anything.

Are you not the editor

here anymore?!

No. I took early retirement.

I'm only a freelancer now.

Jesus Christ, what are

you so afraid of?

Cut it out, I'm not afraid?

But when you show up unannounced,

trouble usually is in the making.

The police caught the wrong man.

You can't just say that.

I've done research on

Roy Eliassen, the accused.

He has the wrong profile.

It doesn't match the information

I have about the case.

Okay.

And what do the police

say about that then?

They'll come to realise

that I'm right.

But what then? Should I just

stand on the sidelines

watching them make such

grave mistakes?

Dad

Can you help me?

Your mum will be very

happy to see you again.

– Hi.

– Hi.

Please, sit down.

So nice that you came.

Yes, you asked me so nicely,

so what else should I do?

It's cosy here.

Yes, just like usual.

But look, here, take a beer and go

and have a chat with your mum.

Come on, go and talk to her.

Come on!

You don't need to keep

going on about it!

Hi, mum.

How's it going here?

No, you know

All things They.

They what?

Shine in the dark.

All things shine, you know that?

Are you tired of London already?

Or have you and Prince Harry

split up?

He doesn't look much like him.

And no, we have not "split up".

Let me know when you have then.

You and I are a little too closely

related, perhaps?

Why are you here?

I thought you were never coming back?

I'm writing my dissertation.

I needed some peace.

That's not so typical of you?

I've matured

How's it going with uncle?

Has he retired yet?

The plan is still to keep

working until he dies.

Or at least that's what he said

last time I spoke to him.

And Auntie Anna?

Same old. Happy and optimistic.

Mum is sitting there talking like

a crazy and demented

person about how

everything shining.

How's it possible for two

siblings to be so different?

I think when you lose a child

in an accident then

You become a black hole.

You stop giving anything to others.

You just take.

Feeding on others guilt.

Do you feel guilty?

How long has it been

since Petter died?

Twenty? I don't know.

I've stopped counting.

Guilt because

you're actually trying to live.

Cut it out! Please!

I'll drive you home!

Can you stop here?

– Here?

– Yeah.

Is this such a good a idea?

The police havn't been

here for a long time.

And there's already a guy locked up, so

they consider themselves finished here.

See here.

This is what it looked like.

– It's a staged crime scene.

– How the hell did you get this?

You see that everything's clean,

it's neat and organized.

It's like a theatrical set

made for an audience.

And she was lying there in the shower,

you can see how her legs

Okay, okay! Can we go now?

The police have the wrong guy.

What are you doing?

What?

Are you involved in the case?

Are you part of the investigation?

Sort of.

Okay, then I think we should

start going home.
