01x02 - The Journey is the Destiny

[bunniefuu]

Hello?

Think she's on drugs?

It's okay... hi.

Hi.

-Hello.
-Hello.

I don't know, this is how
she looked in the shop.

All messed up.

It's okay, shh, it's okay.

It's okay. No, no, shh.

Get me 5 mg of diazepam.

- Ma'am, calm down.

- Shh, shh.

- Hey, hey, hey.

Let's just clean her up,
then clean the cut on her face.

I only understand
that she doesn't want the police.

But why not?

She's said “Ulrika” a few times.

She's fallen asleep,
so I'm taking her to do a CT.

I'll be in touch.
Okay.

I asked her name over and over.

I didn't understand her reply
but I don't think she ever said it.

Are you sure she said “Ulrika”?
Yes.

I wonder if...

Did she have identification?
No. No ID, no phone.

What's going on?
The shop is still open.

There are cameras inside.
Does he have any outside?

Yes, of course. Let's do that.

If they work.

Where is she coming from?
From the path to the beach.

Shouldn't we take a look?
What?

Let's take a look there.

Now?
Yes.

No. Let's do it tomorrow morning.
We'll do it then as well. Let's go.

It's nonsense to do it in the dark.
We've got torches.

It's damned cold outside.
You're wearing a sweater. What's up?

It gets light in four hours.
Let's go then.

But a lot can happen in four hours.
It's a two-hour hike.

40 minutes.
It's only 40 minutes.

Only 40! Shut up.

Aníta, this is pointless.

We can see here.
We can't see anything.

It's a 30-minute walk.
We can see her footprints.

You're ruining them!

Aníta!

It's...

Aníta!

Let's check it tomorrow.
I'm off.

Aren't you going to say hello?

Hi.

I've been awake since 3 a.m.

Why didn't you answer your phone?

I was at work.
If you're going to live here,

I'll ask you to show me
some consideration.

Mum, I'm working.

Okay, if that irritates you so much,
I'll just go to a hotel.

You won't get a hotel room now.
They're all full.

The shoes.

Of course you'll sleep here.

What do you think
people would say?

I'm just asking for
a little bit of consideration.

Is that too much to ask?

Is that too much to ask?
No.

Good.

Don't forget the party tomorrow.
Seriously, can't you cancel it?

What's wrong with you?

It would be pathetic if I cancelled it.

Come on, it will be fun.

It would be good for you
to smile once in a while.

I'm not joking, I'm very busy.

I don't have time for a party.
I'm very tired.

If Ragnar is coming, you can.

The party starts at 8.
Don't be late.

Your hair looks terrible.

The curls don't look good on you.

You have to straighten it,
my dear.

This will make you sleep
like a baby.

How many should I take?
Just one.

Thank you.

It doesn't look good.
No.

It's like she was in a car crash
or something.

It's amazing she's still alive.
Yes, this isn't...

Hello.
Hello, mate.

I'm sorry I woke you up,
but we need to keep watch on her.

Yes.
Until she wakes up.

I'll try to keep her asleep
for 48 hours.

That's not...
While her inflammation goes down.

Do I have to be here, then?
Can I go?

No, we have to have someone
with her. No question.

You just have to keep awake.
Use your phone.

Play Snake or something.

I'll just knit, then.
See you.

Yes.

Use the suite.
Salli, isn't this too much?

Stop it.
It's great to have you here.

It's been too long.
No, you know...

I have to sell the bloody house.
Then you just do that.

It's normal
and completely understandable.

Yes...

One?
Just one.

Okay. Good night.

Good night, mate.

Raggi, have you told Aníta?

No.

I never found the time.

I'll do it tomorrow.
Please do.

The sooner the better.

Good night.

... every cabinet here
is full of muesli.

I'm not a bird.

Good morning, sweetheart.
Hi.

How did you sleep?
Well.

What are you doing here?

Just a routine health check.

Don't you want breakfast, darling?
You must be hungry.

I don't know what came over me
this morning, I made royal custard.

I don't know what I was thinking.
You love it, won't you have some?

I'd love it, but I'm in a hurry.

You'll have to eat it
for both of us.

No, I'm in a hurry as well.
You're both so busy.

We are. Are you going right now?
Yes.

Can you wait? I'm almost finished.

Don't you want some?

I really do, but I have to go.

How are the new medicines?

Any changes?

I think I might even be
a little bit better.

Want to have a cup of coffee
at the bakery?

I want to,
but I don't think I have the time.

Raggi is asleep.
There's no hurry.

How do you know?
He slept at the hospital.

Is he all right?
Oh, yes.

He's had a hard time sleeping
at home since Una died.

But he's been better since...

well, lately.

But don't tell him I mentioned it.
No, of course not.

He's lucky to have you.

But how about it?
Some cocoa milk at the bakery?

Yes, I'll see you there.

I've been trying out
new medicines on them.

They work for some people,
not others.

Then I'm importing
air purification equipment...

It's all very interesting, I know.
It is.

This is my world.

You had asthma as a child.
I remember that.

Yes. I think it just stopped
when I moved to the city.

Yes, it's the black sands.
Yes, right.

Thank you.

Thanks.

It's strong.
Too strong.

Can I get a knife and fork?
Okay, dad jokes.

I've got a lot of them.
Okay.

Are you a dad?
Not yet.

No, okay. But...

Not yet, okay. Are you alone, or...

Where do you live?
I moved into our old house.

I was never going to come back here,
but as my luck had it...

Una and Raggi had maintained
the house through the years.

I took over when I came back

and truthfully
I have been very industrious,

enlarged it, fixed everything.

You must visit.

Yes.

I'm a bit tired of doing it alone.
It's a big house.

And you?

Um...

Someone?
No, just...

I was going to ask you about
the Polish girl. How is she?

She's in a bad way.

I'll keep her asleep
for 24 hours, maybe 48.

Even longer, let's see.

Sorry.
No problem.

I want to talk to her
as soon as possible.

Maybe tonight.
She must wake up sometime.

Let's take it one day at a time.

I'm responsible for her.

I'm not trying to pressure you.
No, I'm not taking it that way.

I'll have you on speed dial

and as soon as she wakes up,
I'll call you.

Okay.

Nothing has changed.

Aníta, let's not go any further.

We won't find anything here.

And she can't have come from here.
Why not?

Because she didn't fall 100 metres
and walk away.

I'm not saying that. She might have
walked down the mountain,

and then gone and checked
whether Ulrika was alive or dead.

And hurt herself on the way down.

Or maybe they got into a fight.
I don't know.

If we presume
she was up there with her.

Most likely it was someone
who was with Ulrika in the car.

Yes, but then where was she
while we were there yesterday?

Yes...

I was wondering if...
Wait a minute.

Yes, hello?

Hi.

Yes, right.

Great.

Thank you.

Confirmed.

The fingerprints show
it's Ulrika Meyer.

Okay.

And she was staying
over in Hrífunes...

on her own.

Okay, that's something.

I'm just wondering if
this Polish girl pushed her...

Aníta, I can't be bothered with this.

It's a 40-minute walk back
and we're not finding anything.

Let's get the rescue squad to do it
or something.

Okay, Raggi, okay.
She might have been hiding

if it was her
who pushed Ulrika off the cliff.

Ulrika bought one plane ticket,
rented the car on her own

and was alone at the hotel.

We didn't find the Polish girl on
Ulrika's Instagram, or any identification.

So we don't know who she is.
But Ulrika's husband?

We haven't been able to reach him.
We've messaged him on all social media.

We've called him.
The phone is off.

We're pretty sure
he's not in Iceland.

Okay. The girl came from the path
to the beach, the one behind the shop.

Okay.

From the same place we found Ursula.
Who?

Ulrika.

Potato, potato.

We went down to check the beach
but didn't go right along.

Shouldn't we ask the rescue squad
to search the mountain and the beach?

Yes.
I'll call them.

Sorry, were you in the rescue squad?
No.

Shouldn't I call Bárður, Raggi?

Sorry?
Let's allow the boy to do it, Fríða.

Sure.

1-0.

I'll go to Hrífunes.
And we'll take the girl's fingerprints.

Bárður, this is Tommi.

Does your mum miss me?

Tell him I said hello.
There's a girl here who says hello.

I'm her mentor.

Aníta.

Take the extra car.

Don't use your car on the job.

Nice. Thanks.

And...

Is everything okay?

Hrífunes.
You must have Dóra's soup.

It's great.

Just get a receipt.

Yes, it's expenses.

Yes. The state will pay.

Good morning.
Hi.

Aníta Elínardóttir.
I'm here to talk to you.

Of course.
Hello, my dear.

You look just like your mother.

You're like peas in a pod.

She and I are in the same circle.

A wonderful woman.
Is she?

Wonderful to hear that.
Thanks for seeing me.

Of course.

Do you want to go somewhere...
No, they're foreigners.

They don't understand a thing.

No? Right.

Were any of these guests here
at the same time as Ulrika?

The couple just leaving

and those young men from Lithuania
who are having vegetable soup.

My own recipe. The best vegetable soup
this side of the North Pole.

You must taste it.
Yes.

I'll be offended it you don't.
I will.

Did you check Ulrika in?
I did.

And you said she was....
She was alone.

She came late at night
with one big suitcase.

A rather quiet person.

I don't notice that sort very much.

Especially if I'm looking elsewhere.
Yes. Right.

Tommi, come here.

What?

This is the third time the dog
has stopped here on the edge.

sh*t!

Don't we need to go down there
and check the ledge?

We can do it.

Do the boys have a harness?
I think so.

We have to go down here.
Bring a harness!

Do you think she fell down here?
I can't believe it.

That's some fall.

So what's the plan?

We'll wait for her to wake up,

then try to find out
how she's connected to Ulrika.

That's enough.
No, let's do them all, Raggi.

No, two fingers are enough.
Leave it to me.

How did you sleep?
Mind the sheets.

I slept very well, thank you.

I'll finish it.

How about you?
I always sleep like a log.

Okay. So she didn't talk
to anyone? Guests or...

She sometimes spoke
on the phone, but in German,

and I don't understand German.

Like I sometimes say to my guests,

“Ich sprache keine Deutsch.”

Mm-hmm.

The phone calls...

Did you sense something,
did she sound strange?

And afterwards, I don't know,
was there something you noticed?

Well, now that you mention it,

I remember that she sometimes
seemed upset on the phone.

The sound carries here.
I hear things.

You never know if people
are arguing or screwing.

As we say, what happens
in the countryside, stays there.

Yes. Right.

I'll call you if I have any questions.
No problem.

And you have my phone number.
Yes.

Otherwise... great.
Thanks.

I'm just going to finish up here.
Of course.

What will happen to her stuff?
I'll take it with me.

Today? I'm just wondering
when I can let it again.

Yes. I'll take it when I go.
Thanks.

Say hello to your mum.
I will.

Don't forget to get some soup.
No.

There was blood on the ledge,
and we found this beanie.

Okay. Thanks.

Right.
So she fell down there.

Yes. It's incredible
that she survived.

They usually don't
when they fall down there.

No sh*t?

Can we pack up, then?
Yes.

I'm taking this down to the station.
Right. See you.

Guess who.

Aníta!

Aníta, my dear.
Hello, Grandma.

Bismarck lozenges.

We looked alike
when we were young.

I always thought so.

I'll help you.
Turn on the light.

No, no. But I should
open a window.

It's rather stuffy in here.
No, don't do that.

Salómon says it's better
if the windows are closed.

Right. How is your asthma?

The new drugs Salómon
gave me changed everything.

They did?
Yes, I hardly feel the effects now.

Great.

They don't work as well for Mum.
Yes...

She smokes too much.

How are things at home?
Just...

Just the way it is.

She's doing her best.
I know.

But she sometimes shows it
in a peculiar way.

The way she is...
It's maybe not all her fault.

No.

I'm looking for a place to stay.
I won't stay there for long.

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

What do you mean?
Elm doesn't want it. I asked her.

And her brother Davið
isn't coming back.

Grandma, it's too soon
to have this conversation.

What do you mean?
Just...

I don't want to think about it.
I'm not getting any younger.

But not you're not dying either,
are you?

No, I'm not dying.

When was Salómon going to come?
Soon.

Have you met him yet?
Yes.

He's a great boy.

It's amazing, considering.
Yes.

WELCOME TO
GLERÁRSANDUR

Ulrika went down this side
of the mountain.

We found the Polish chick's hat
on this side.

And blood on the cliffs.

They went down on different sides.

The ledge.

Yes, there's a ledge here
under the cliff edge.

Maybe the reason
she's still alive.

And it explains
why we didn't notice her.

Maybe she was taking a nap.

But why did it happen?

Why did they fall down different sides
on the same night?

Maybe they were going
to die together.

Maybe one pushed the other one.
Yes.

And then walked to the other side
and jumped down.

Right.
Makes sense.

Maybe there's a third party
we don't know about.

Her manner when she arrived...
she was hysterical.

That's the only thing
that makes sense.

We can't exclude anything.
No, but...

Kids.

We will interview the young lady
and see what she has to say.

Until then, it's an accident.

If and when we open
a m*rder investigation,

we won't have a moment's peace.

Agreed.
Yes.

Mm-hmm.

I spoke to her husband.
Yes?

He's been in Asia
and is returning to Germany.

He'll arrive in Iceland tomorrow.
That was the plan all along.

Ulrika was a professional photographer,
sh**ting the Northern Lights.

Then he was coming over
to meet her.

Nice. Then we know
what she was doing there.

That's why she had
all those cameras!

Thanks, Tommi.

A bad joke. Sorry.

Hi, sweetheart.
Hi.

Great you're here.

I ran a bath for you.

Thanks.

Are you just going to stand there?

The guests are arriving.
Take a bath.

The shoes, sweetheart.

I hardly recognised you
with your hair like that.

Nice to see you. Again.
You too.

This is...

Welcome.

Yes.

Well...
Well.

Fun at your mother's.

Well, looks good.

That's how I like it.
You look great like this.

Mm-hmm.

Wait...
How beautiful!

I'll put them in water.

Well, are you settled in?

Can you come and help me,
Raggi?

I can't reach the vase.

It's like old times.

Sorry.

Hi.
You look good.

Likewise.

I loved the curls, though.

Me too.

There's not a lot here for you.
Pretzels and... hummus, is it?

No, I think it's honey mustard.

I'll see if we have vegan options.

No need.
Sure.

Hi, my dear.
Hi.

Any news?
No.

Hi.
Your mum invited us.

Okay. And why did you come?

Well, there were
just so many who were...

Just to welcome you.
Yes.

So you're married.
Yes.

Congratulations.
Thanks.

Well.

Isn't it nice to be back?
Yes, it's fine.

But I'm very busy.

Yes, Brynjar told us some gossip
about the tourists.

Yes, that they were junkies.
Really?

How do you know?
A boy I know

who knows a guy
who sold them grass.

I need to talk to the boy.

I'm joking.

Dear guests...

It's great to see you all here.

A great occasion.

Aníta, come here.

Shouldn't we have a toast?
Yes.

It's not every day
that you reclaim your child.

Something that I only dared
to dream of.

For 15 years.

And now you're here.
My love.

15 years...

... is a long time.

But still...
it passed quite quickly.

And to see you, my love.
So gorgeous.

Let's toast.
Cheers.

To think that it's over 30 years,
30 years...

since I arrived
with you In my belly.

For those who don't know...
I lived abroad.

I was studying music.

But then I became pregnant.

And I've been here

ever since.

I just wanted to make you
a safe home, my love,

so we could have
a good life here, in this place.

I was always going to...

go back and finish my studies...

but it was all so complicated.

I tried and tried
but I couldn't do it.

Couldn't do it.

But you have to believe
that I did my best.

Yes, thanks.

Mum...

I just want to say one thing.
Wait, wait.

Yes...

If you get stuck here like I did...

then I just want...

Thanks.
No, wait.

Mum...

I don't want you
to get stuck here like...

Please stop, Mum.
No.

Wait, don't misunderstand me.

I'm so happy you're back.
So happy.

I'm happy as well.
Can I just add....

I don't want to...
I just wanted to add: thanks.

I just wanted to add,
as you had started...

Nothing prepared, I was just...
Great.

I don't know if you remember
when Aníta started Year 1.

I was starting Year 5.
No, I don't.

I don't think anybody
asked me to do it,

it was just something
I felt I had to do,

so I was outside here
at 7:30 on the dot

to accompany Aníta to school.

Those who know me
know that if I do something,

I usually go all the way.

So I did that every day
while we were at school.

And I noticed on the second day,

every day we walked to school,
those 500 metres,

she found a new way every day.

Sometimes a longer one,
sometimes a shorter one.

It's something I've always
admired about her.

She sees new perspectives
and patterns.

Everything can be an adventure,
things that others don't even notice.

And when you have that quality,
it doesn't matter where you live.

I'm very happy
that you're back with us

and I hope you will stay
for a long time.

Hear, hear.
To Aníta!

It's confidential.

Can you tell me
something about them?

No, it's very sensitive.

But I noticed you had
a lovely reunion with them tonight.

My best friend.
Mm-hmm.

Who is that?

Davið?

It's Davið.
Who is Davið?

Uncle Davið, Mum's brother.

You know who Davið is.
Your mother's brother?

And my mother's brother?
In a way.

Why have I never heard about him?

This picture is in my house.

But he's not in it.
Why not?

I have no idea.
Let's ask Mum. It's ridiculous.

Let's just ask her.
Yes, but not now.

I don't want to talk to her
in that state.

Should we go out
and get some fresh air?

Are you kidding?
We're not related.

I'm not saying that,

but Mum didn't approve
when we were drawn to each other.

Wasn't I good enough for her?

Your mother and my mother
thought of themselves as sisters.

She found it strange
to think of us as a couple.

Maybe, but....

We don't have to think like that.

I never did.

Did you?
No.

Is that the reason
we never slept together?

Come on.
Why are you going there?

You were 14.
Yes.

And you were 17.
Yes.

The scar healed nicely.

Not very charming, though.

It's very charming.

This is not the only scar.

I'm just happy that you
survived the car accident.

Have you tried to process it?

No.
You have to.

Yes.
No, really.

It's something you think is okay, but...

I got a lot of help,
and it's important.

I recommend it.

What?

Aníta.
No, I....

Aníta.
Should we go in?

Yes.

Hello?

Aníta, this is Tómas.

She's awake. Her name is Lena.

Okay.

Did she say anything else?

Yes, she said she was attacked.

I'm on the way.

Wait a minute.
She said a policeman attacked her.

What?

Okay, I'll be there in a minute. Bye.

We need to go the hospital.
