Post by bunniefuu »

Hey! Hello?

Loki, come here.

Can you hear me?

Come on.

Hi.

Hi, love. Where are you?

I'm on my way.
I'll be there soon.

On your way?
That doesn't tell me anything.

I'll be there soon.

You're not falling asleep, are you?

No, of course not.

I'll call you soon, maybe.

Should I make you breakfast?
No, don't bother.

It's no problem.
I'll make you breakfast.

Okay. Thank you.

Hi.

Hi, it's Raggi

Yes, I know.

How are you?
Are you getting closer?

Fine. I'll be in town in ten minutes.
Aren't you at the police station?

No, actually I'm not there.

There's a situation here.

A dead woman was found
this morning on the beach.

Okay.
I was wondering...

Are you are up to, you know,
taking a look with me?

Right now?
Yes.

Okay. I don't have any other plans.

Are you sure ? I can find someone,
if you're too tired.

No, really, I'm ready. I'll meet you...
Where should I meet you?

Just drive down to the black beach.
Okay. Looking forward to it.

I took forward to seeing you.
Okay, till then.

Okay, bye.

It's been way too long.
Mm-hmm.

You haven't changed at all.
I don't know about that.

What about you?
How are you?

I've been better.

But I've also been worse.

How about you?
Just... you know.

There's a lot of people over there.
The tourists? They're everywhere.

Climbing everything,
running into the sea.

Most of our job nowadays
is helping those idiots.

We've closed the area.
Are you ready for your first day?

Yes.

Let's go.

Are you going on holidays?

What?
The suitcases.

No, they're just suitcases.
I can see that.

They're not for holidays.

I'm just storing some stuff
in them.

Listen...

Right.

Who's controlling the location?

Bárður is here.

But Tómas is our man on the scene.
He's new.

He's been with us
for two, three months.

What's wrong with these people?
Bloody idiots.

Hi. Want to come with me?
No, I'll just use my car.

Tommi is down on the beach.

We went up on the mountain
this morning.

We found an abandoned car there.
Rented?

I don't know.
Hi.

Hi. Bárður Seevarsson,
local security chief.

Aníta.

Salómon is here.
I'll let you through.

Hi.
Hi.

How are you?
I'm fine.

Well, well.
I thought you were joking.

No.
Hi.

What...

What are you doing here?

Nice to see you.
You too.

When did you arrive?
Just now.

I was just driving in.

I haven't been home.

So you just arrived.
Yes.

Really, Salómon...
What?

Will you wear those shoes?

Here come the fashion police.
Don't you like them?

We're going down a rocky beach.

They might surprise you.
And they bring out the blue in my eyes.

Are you coming with us?
Yes, I'll fetch my case.

Shouldn't I carry this?
No, I can handle it.

It's not an Icelander, is it?
I don't think so.

I haven't seen this beach
without tourists for a long time.

Enjoy it, then.
Yes.

Tommi?
What?

Is she badly damaged?
It doesn't look like it.

Identification?

Was I supposed to check?
It's all right.

Aníta.
Tómas.

Let's finish this.

I'll photograph her.
You'll examine her.

Let's get her out of here
as soon as possible.

She's cute.
Yes.

You're talking about the cop,
aren't you?

Yes.

Finished?

The body is of a young woman
with long reddish hair.

She's wearing
a yellow hiking jacket,

black hiking trousers,
purple shoes

and is wearing mittens.

She's light-skinned and...

About 25 years old.
Something like that.

She's around 25 years of age.

Can I...
Yes.

A cut on the forehead.

Lacerations and abrasions
on the face.

She's cold to the touch.

What's the temperature, Tommi?
Rigor mortis present.

What?
The temperature.

Right, two degrees.
No frost last night.

Well, what do you think?

She's very stiff.

Give me...

I've got gloves.

Well, I wonder
if the girl got a hot arse...

Boys!
Yes.

28.2.

It's been eight, nine hours.
It happened around midnight.

It's done.

Let's send her to the hospital
and finish it there.

Tommi, the body bag
is in the case.

Here, Tommi.

Let's start here.

We'll lift her up
and then put it over her.

"Boys!"

What?
Nothing.

I need a registration.
A Jimny, TKK22.

Thomas Karl Karl 22.

Höldur Car Rental.

Can you connect me?

Yes, that's the case.
Thank you.

Say we'll send her a formal request
later, we're up on a mountain.

Good morning. Aníta Elínardóttir,
Glerársandar Police.

I need information...

I can send you
an official request later.

We don't have the internet up here.

It's just information
about one of your cars.

A Jimny, TKK22.

Do you need me to word-spell it?

Okay, thanks.

Ulrika Meyer.

Nice. Can you tell me
if she was travelling alone?

How old is she?

Okay.

I'll send it to you
in a few minutes.

Aníta Elínardóttir. Bye.

Aníta!

Ulrika Meyer. The car rental
says she's alone.

Ulrika.

German?
Yes.

She arrived a week ago.
Was the camera here?

Yes. It was here.
Think it's hers?

It's not unlikely
but we don't know.

The battery's flat.

She wouldn't be the first photographer
to fall down a mountain here.

Oh?

A few years ago, east of here,

a photographer fell
while taking pictures.

The ground collapsed.
That didn't happen here.

No, but she was here in the dark
if it was around midnight.

Others just decide
to let themselves fall.

Right.

How was the camera situated?
It was on the bag.

I mean, can I see how it was?
See your pictures?

Yes... I didn't do that.
It was like this.

You didn't photograph it?
No.

It was just like this.
I'll photograph it now.

Well, I found grass in the car.

Right. So she was stoned.
I don't know.

We'll find out.
This report is writing itself.

It's done.
I'm going to take a few.

No, I've taken great pictures.
Just for myself.

For...

There were cans and wrappers
on the passenger side.

Maybe she wasn't travelling alone.

I think I've found her.
Ulrika Meyer.

This could be her, right?
And her boyfriend.

Could be.

How old is the picture?
Two months old.

Well done.

#StevenMeyer85.
That's the tag.

So is his name Meyer?
Probably Steven Meyer.

His page is locked. We have to
find a way to contact him.

Do you have something
to put under the nose?

No, I don't.

Did you finish the series last night?
No.

I somehow lost interest.

After Episode 5,
it was all so obvious.

That's not what interested me.

The characters were so real
and their relationships were fun.

I find the male actor so irritating.

I agree. He's terrible.

Do you want to turn her
away from me?

No, the other way.
Okay.

One, two and...

Let's get the bag.
One, two and...

Again.

He always looks like
he's smelt something bad.

I'll take the pictures.

Thank you.

I didn't understand
why she took him back.

He's so obvious and such a loser.

She's great in the show.
She's cute.

Salómon likes cute actresses.
Oh?

I was talking about her acting.
It's great.

I don't think she's all that great.
Did you watch?

No, I lost interest as well.

Should I hold her?
Let's break... hold here.

It's okay.
She doesn't feel pain.

The smell is very strong.

Should I... okay.

One, two and...

I've done this before.
I can see that.

There's a cut here.

Yes.

Do you mind? Thanks.

Great.

This is perfect.

It's like old times.
Completely.

Full rigor mortis in arms and legs.

Spots on lower extremities,

pale red, consistent with
finding a body outdoors.

Right cheek darker,
so she lay on it.

It's her.
This is the same tattoo.

Yes, but you know how it works.

No petechiae...
Reykjavik is so by the book.

Bruising on right shoulder,
breast, side and thigh.

Possible internal injuries.

It would save time
if they accepted what's obvious.

They want fingerprints.

Fractured skull owing to head trauma.

Don't you want to go home?

We'll meet later today.
I can handle the paperwork.

No, I'm coming down to the station.

No, it's no problem.
I know.

And your mum is waiting for you.

Yes, but she knows I'm working, so...

Okay. See you.

I hope you are happy,
I have arrived to...

No, I don't think there's much left.
It's straightforward.

I'll write the report.
She's here.

Morning.

No, I haven't had a chance.

Aníta.

Yes, I'll tell her.

Fríða.

I'll talk to you.

Have you found anything?

Yes, quite a lot.

Two cameras, a GoPro
and a drone.

And no memory cards.

Have you gone through...
Yes, a few times.

No cards at all?
No. And no phone or computer.

And no identification or anything else.
Yes, this could...

Okay, anything else?
Yes. We found wrappers in both doors.

So it looks like someone
travelled with her.

And some weed to smoke.

It could be the boyfriend.
He might have the memory cards.

We found pictures of her.
A boyfriend?

This must be her.

Yes.

Wow, she's lively.
Stop it, Tómas.

What?
disgusting.

She looks good.

We have to find out how
she came into the country.

Get a list of passengers and so on,
then find out where she stayed.

He seems to be her boyfriend.

He'd suit you. He's your age.
Stop it.

He's free now.

He's handsome.
Sorry.

Fríða.

Yes, you told me.
Right.

We don't know for sure.

It hasn't been confirmed,
but her rental car was there.

On the site, yes.

Yes, so...
Yes, so, ah...

You have not had any inquiries
about this woman?

There's a lot of hotels here now.

Mm-hmm. Quite a few.

Don't you want to go home?

Haven't you been awake
for 24 hours?

Yes, almost.

I'll finish it. Go home.

No, I have enough energy.

Okay.

I just made some coffee.

That is our accidents chart.
Accidents chart?

Mm-hmm.

The yellow ones are accidents,
the purple ones accidental deaths.

Red is people we've never found.
Wow.

Mm-hmm.
This is just the last three years.

We've got the most deaths
by accident in the country.

Yes, because we are
the most popular tourist area.

So it's all tourists.

All tourists who don't respect
our country and nature.

Have you analysed it?
That's what we're doing.

It's a work in progress.
We want to find the danger zones.

Well done.
Thank you.

Yes.

Evening.
Evening.

Hi.

Stebbi, Mæja's son.
You babysat me.

Stebbi! Sorry.
It's okay.

Hi. Wow, hi. You're...

An adult.

I heard you were coming.

Of course.

Nice to see you.
Likewise.

How are you?
Great.

I'm just here every night.
I'm saving for a house.

Okay.
Up in Barmahlíð

Your parents' house?
No.

I bought the lot next door.
I'm going to build on it.

Okay. Good, nice.
How are you?

I'm a cop now.

Really?

The dead tourist on the beach...

What happened?
I can't talk about it.

Come on.
Give us a bit of gossip.

Everybody's talking about it.
Talking about what?

That she was with someone
who disappeared.

A mystery.

No, I'm not telling you anything.
Shouldn't I pay?

All right.

I'll see you tomorrow.
Why?

At the party.
What party?

Your mother's welcome party.
Is she having a party?

Yep.

Right.
I'll see you there, then.

Nice to meet you.
Likewise.

Bye.

I'm thinking about going home.
No problem.

Sorry about the thing this morning.
What?

The thing with the pictures on the cliff.
No need to discuss it.

I was absent-minded.
Great.

Go home and...
Aníta, seriously,

your mother is anxious to see you.

I've noticed.
She's called 200 times today.

Right. It's all she's talked about
since you decided to come back.

She's not that bad.

No. I'm also...

I'm also excited to see her.

There's one more thing
I wanted to...

Yes, what?

No, it can wait.

What is it?
No, nothing. Just go home.

Okay.
Good night, see you tomorrow.

Bye.

Can I hug you?

Shouldn't I help you
with your luggage?

No, I'll do it later.
It's so damn cold.

Come in.
The house is damn warm.

I made breakfast this morning.

I thought you'd be arriving earlier.

But it's all right, darling,
I heard about the foreigner.

I've been waiting all day.

But I made dinner. I hoped
we could eat dinner together.

How about that?
Shouldn't we eat together?

Aníta.

Aníta?

Dinner.
I'm coming.

Isn't it good?

You have a healthy appetite.
Are you saying I'm fat?

No. Nonsense.

Stop it.
I didn't say anything.

You don't need to say anything.

Why should I stop smoking now?

Something has to k*ll me.

Yes, everybody dies, they say.

Do you want water?
No, thank you.

Mum, are you sure?

You don't need to help me, darling.

I was just going to bring you water.

I'm going to have a party
tomorrow.

Yes, okay.
Regarding that...

How do you know about it?
It was supposed to be a surprise.

You just told me.
You're acting as if you knew.

Yes... it doesn't matter.

I'm going to ask you not to do it.
There's nothing to my coming back.

Don't you think it's remarkable?
No, it's lame.

Come on, you haven't been here
for such a long time.

Everybody's excited to see you.
No one's excited to see me.

I'm not cancelling...
I'm very busy at work, Mum.

What is this nonsense?
I'm doing it for you.

Thank you for dinner.
It was very good.

Let's start again.
Forgive me, darling.

We can do better.
I can do better.

Tell me about work.
What about this tourist?

I can't tell you anything.
Come on.

No, I can't say anything.
Come on.

I can't.

You can tell me.

She was found on the beach.

I had a gerbera. It died.

But I think I have fertiliser for it
if you want.

No, I think it will be okay.

Mum, you haven't cleared the room.
Darling, I was going to ask...

I just didn't have the energy.

No, it's okay.

I'm going to bed.
Okay.

Good night.

I might go out.
Are there keys in the hall?

You don't have to lock the door.

Hi. Yes.

It all went well.

Hi.

Any news?
Not really.

She seems to have arrived alone,
without the boyfriend.

We're trying to find out
where she stayed.

Okay.

I'll get it to her.
Thanks.

I miss you.

I miss you.

Reddish hair,
a yellow hiking jacket,

black hiking trousers,
purple shoes, mittens.

Light skinned and...

25 years old.
Something like that.

She's about 25 years old.

Hello?

Stop sending me pictures.
I'm not kidding, Aníta.

Sorry.

It's over. Stop it.
Stop sending me pictures.

If Steffi saw it,
she would be furious.

Gústi, I don't care if she sees it.
Steffi should see it.

Then you might have the courage
to leave this f*cking marriage.

No. It's over between you and me.
We're nothing.

I made a mistake,
you are not helping...

A mistake? Not helping?
I'm out in the f*cking countryside!

I did everything for you.

So you can fix your f*cking marriage.

What more do you want
from me, Gústi?

Gústi, f*ck you!

This is the furthest I will go.

Never the same again.

The vile path calling me...

the day I ran from life again.

If I win this one time...

it will still be the end of me.

My belief that nothing ends well.

This is the end for me.

Bones rotting in the earth,

like your secrets

that you long kept from me.

But blood weighs more than silence.

This is the furthest I will go.

Never the same again.

Hi.

You're back.
Yes.

How are you?
Fine.

How about you?
Fine.

Listen...

I wanted to ask you...
When is your shift over?

In two hours.
That's closing time.

What are you thinking about?
No, I just wanted a beer or something.

If you wanted...
Yes?

Sure.

Everything's closed,
but I've got beer at home

if you want to.

Call the station.

Okay, calm down.
Do you speak Icelandic?

Can you speak English?

Call Salómon as well.

Can you tell me your name?

You have to speak English.
Can you speak English, please?

No police. Please, no police.

I need Raggi, now.
