01x06 - The Curtain Comes Down

[bunniefuu]

Good morning, Tómas.
Where is the f*cking tent?

- Lovely to see you too.
- Where's the tent?

Two hours into the valley,
as I said.

- Hi, Tómas.
- Hi, Eva.

I taught him
at the Police Academy.

- Why aren't you at the tent?
- I'll show you.

What the hell is that?

f*ck...

- Hello?
- Hi.

Hi.

Where are you?

Is that any of your business?

- No, of course not.
- Is everything all right?

- Can you meet me by the river?
- Why?

A body was found there last night.

What?

Okay. I'll be there shortly.

- Is everybody there?
- They're arriving one by one.

- I'll hurry.
- See you.

Bye.

- Good morning.
- Morning.

- How did you sleep?
- I'm rather tired.

Surprise.

How about you?
Are you okay?

Not at all, but I slept like a rock.
I'm fine.

Good. I have to go to work.

- A body was found in the river.
- Really?

So, I'll probably see you there.

Aníta, talk to me.

What?

- We must be able to work together.
- We can do it. We're doing it.

I don't trust anyone here but you
and maybe that Tómas guy.

We're good together.

- Yes, okay.
- Einar and Eva are in the tent.

Just so you know.
They came this morning.

Thank you.

- Hi.
- Good morning.

- Morning.
- Hi.

Hi.

Here's identification.

Let me see.
Marion Henderson, American.

Marion Henderson...

I know that name somehow.

Marion Henderson...

Here's an article
from three years ago.

They stopped looking for a tourist.

Marion Henderson,
last seen in Glerársandur.

Talked to guests at Hotel Dyrhólaey.
Was to hike up on the glacier.

- Three years ago?
- Yes.

This girl hasn't been in the river
for three years. No way.

The body looks too good.

No beauty, but I agree.

- Anything new?
- Marion Henderson, American tourist.

She disappeared three years ago.

- We searched for her for months.
- Okay.

Let's pack it up
and send the body south.

The teeth look fine.
They can be used for verification.

Agreed.

The doctor is on his way.
Let's wait for him.

Yes, no problem.

Hello. Gústi.

Salómon.

This is, or was, Marion Henderson,
American tourist.

She disappeared three years ago.

We want to send the body
to Reykjavik right away.

- Drowned.
- What?

The pink colour on the teeth.
She must have drowned.

But it's very strange. She can't
have been in the river for that long.

Yes, but if she was in glacier water,

she could have been there for years,

so long as the animals
didn't start eating her.

Right. Something has bitten her...

but there are places where the body
could have been preserved.

Or she didn't die
at the time she disappeared.

Let's not go there right away.

Let's start by verifying who she is,
then have an autopsy.

We can take her to the hospital
and take a better look there.

No, let's send her south.

Salómon handles these things here.

We don't need to look at her further.
We just need an autopsy.

We have a certain protocol here.
A procedure.

Can you check if her skull is fractured?

It doesn't look like it.

Okay, thank you.

Send her to Reykjavik.
That's the best thing.

Great.

Are you sure?

Yes. I can't do a lot,
she died some time ago.

- Thank you and good luck.
- Thank you.

Wait, Salómon.
Is everything all right?

Yes. What do you mean?

You looked like you were
pissed off or something.

No, not at all.
I don't have anything to do here.

She died a long time ago.

Okay.

- You all right?
- Yes.

Just... checking on you.

Everything's fine.

Then I'll see you tonight.

I look forward to it.

See you.

It's the body of Marion Henderson,
according to the identification.

No?

Okay. Marion Henderson
is the first pin.

She disappeared three years ago
and was never found.

Right.

All right.
Is her skull fractured?

Not that we saw.
She seems to have drowned.

Okay.

Fríða, sh*t.
Can't you talk to them?

I understand you,
but I can't do it without you.

Oh, this is going to be so awkward.

Mmm.

Okay, I'll do it.

- Can you do it today?
- Yes.

f*ck!

Okay, I'll do it today.
See you later.

- Okay. Good luck.
- Bye.

Bye.

Then it's Mum and what she's like.

Why don't you move here?

Yes, I...

I think we'll have to fix it at home.

She has to do it. Not you.

Yes, maybe. I thought...

I thought she had changed.

I thought somehow...

it would be easier.

Poor kid.

But it's okay, Grandma.

I know how you feel, my dear.

Grandma...

The date is on the receipt

and the browsing history
and time on the other pages.

It's constant from 12 to 3.

I've been alone for four years.
This is the situation.

I didn't say anything.

This is...

Have you seen enough or...

I'm fine, thank you.
Thanks.

Here you are.

- This is enough for me.
- Me too.

All right.

Um...

I found it difficult
to tell you about this.

Maybe you won't tell people
about this hobby of mine.

- Of course not.
- No.

Okay.

I'm going home to suit up.

In the police uniform.

- Not a word.
- I didn't say anything.

But it's one of the better alibis
I've ever heard.

I checked her internal internet use.
It's perfect.

It's fine.

Good. We can't lose her.
She's great.

Remembers everything,
is organised, a great cop.

I have to ask.
How did Ragnar react?

He found it very uncomfortable.

- Especially the BDSM stuff.
- Really?

- Did you tell him?
- Yes.

- Did you show him?
- Yes.

- I showed him everything.
- sh*t!

- Don't tell anybody, though.
- Of course. Scout's honour.

I admire you.

I'll have to get you to teach me.

Anytime.
Come for coffee.

Anyway. Marion...

- She's the seventh.
- Yes.

Marion is number seven.

Now we have
five suspicious cases.

If we check the timeline...

something changes
three years ago.

I don't want to say it out loud...

but Una died three years ago.

Yes.

Right.

There's something strange
about how he works these cases.

There's something strange
about the timing.

I have tried to investigate further.

“Shouldn't we check,
is it really an accident?”

But no.
He always says no.

It happened this morning as well.

Gústi wanted to send the body
for an autopsy, Raggi said no way.

It was only because of Salómon
that it was sent.

- Not for the first time.
- No.

- Okay, throw it with full force.
- Okay.

How many metres between?

This is more than three metres.

She didn't fall from this cliff,
that's for sure.

Somebody threw her forcefully
off the cliff.

I don't think our Polish girl
could have done that.

No way.

Tómas, we're finished. Einar and I
are going to the station.

You can pick up the doll, and hurry.
The tide's coming in.

This was a great success.

Shouldn't we just go down
and pick up the doll

and get back to the station?

- So he told you to get the doll?
- Yes.

Okay. Have fun.

- Eva, aren't you going to help me?
- No.

I'll tell her about it.

Yes.

I look forward to it.

Just the person
I wanted to talk to.

- Why?
-I was just talking to your mother.

We were thinking about
a pizza night tonight.

Pizza night?

Yes. You see...

your mother has been
cleaning all day and baking...

She wants us to come.
Shouldn't we do it for her?

- Are you kidding me?
- No.

I'll think about it,
but I wanted to talk to you.

Okay.

The tourists who have died here
in the last few years...

Why haven't the bodies
been autopsied?

Our protocol is to do
a post-mortem here.

And you're not right.
Some were sent to be autopsied.

Yes, some. But it's not enough
to do a post-mortem.

You know that.

I don't see any reason
to send a body for autopsy

if it's clear how the person died.

- Do you think it was clear?
- Yes.

Otherwise I'd have asked
for an autopsy.

In some cases, their families
were against it as well.

That wasn't the case here.

She was found on the sand
with a cracked skull.

You only guessed
what had happened.

It says she fell down a cliff
and then walked two kilometres.

See, this woman went out
on the sand in horrible weather.

There were theories...
The wind picked up small rocks.

- A rock hit her head.
- Yes, but that's only a theory.

And there's a big difference

between getting hit
by a stone in a storm

and falling down a cliff.

Which is it?

See, when...

Maybe I was a bit off my game.

Una had just died, and I...

But it doesn't change the fact
that it isn't simple,

running a police station like this.

It isn't easy. Money is...

scarce.

But an autopsy
isn't that expensive.

Do you know how much it costs?
800 thousand.

And Reykjavik doesn't pay it,
we do.

And then there's paperwork,
manpower, time...

In this case,
there wasn't any pressure.

It's not even an Icelander.

Raggi, if you can't be bothered,
just say so.

You just have to resign
if that's the case.

It's not good police practice,
and you know it.

I have been here night and day
for 35 years.

You've been here
for a couple of days.

Why are you looking into
these old cases?

Because it needs to be done.

Aníta.

Aníta.

- Hi.
- Where have you been?

Does it matter?

You haven't been home
for 48 hours.

I'm very busy.
I'm going to take a bath.

Dinner is at 7.
I bought a pizza base

and Raggi is going to come
and we can...

You can make the pizza,
the two of you.

- I'm going to take a bath.
- Aníta, my dear...

We are a family.

I'm trying to clear the air a bit.

- Please.
- I'm going to take a bath.

- Do it for me.
- I'll think about it.

Fríða.

Listen... Sebastian.

Yes?

Well...

- It was here, right?
- Wait. I'm coming.

- It was this one, right?
- Yes. He walked into the sea.

- And wasn't that clear cut?
- Yes.

There was nothing suspicious
about it.

Yes, right. And...

This is the one on the sand.
And Marion.

What are you thinking about?

I'm just thinking about
the old tourist cases.

Yes.

Okay.

Stop it.

Stop it, Mum.

Quickly that day approaches,

your birthday arrives again.

A little boy, blond and beautiful,

will soon make sense of life.

Hello!

Hello, dear Salómon, I'm upstairs.

What happened?

She fell down the stairs.

I don't know how long she
was there before I found her.

- There's not much we can do.
- How do you know that?

She's been examined
again and again, and scanned.

There's little or no brain function.

It's just the respirator
that keeps her breathing.

I'm going to call my brother Davið.

Do you think she won't wake up?

Grandma.

Yes. Okay.

Bye.

He won't be able to make it
until tomorrow.

It's no problem.
Just take your time.

We've given her drugs
for the pain.

Let's go.

Can you give me a spoon?

Here you are.

When will your brother
arrive tomorrow?

Some time in the morning.

It's a long time since
he's shown his face here.

Yes.

I saw him in Reykjavik
some time ago.

- What?
- Davið?

- Did he know you?
- Yes.

Did you speak?

Yes.

He asked if I was your daughter.

And what?
Did he say anything else?

No, just that we looked alike.

Una hated him.
If someone mentioned him...

Una and Halla.
Davið was much older than us.

Wasn't it strange,
suddenly getting two new sisters?

Of course it was.
Mum was always fostering children.

They were orphans
and grew up with us.

She was amazing.

It's hard enough to raise
your own children,

I would think, but to do it blind
with a lot of strange children...

- A great woman.
- A hero.

She didn't do it on her own.
Davið did everything for her.

She wouldn't have been
able to do it without him.

- Should you be drinking?
- Why not?

Just...

- Why not?
- Elín.

- We know.
- Know what?

Elín...

That I'm going to be a grandmother.

Are you going through my rubbish?

No, darling.
You could have hidden it better.

You're not becoming a grandmother.

- Aníta.
- You shut up.

- No one was supposed to know.
- Tell me, darling, is he the father?

There is no father...

I'm having it terminated.
We won't discuss it further.

- Aníta...
- It's none of your business, Raggi!

Darling, think...

I'm not going to discuss it with you.
You don't understand.

What do you mean?
Of course I understand!

Okay.

Then explain why
you didn't terminate me.

Hi, this is Gústi.
I'm in the Hotel Hrífunes.

Can you come by?
Room 13. Bye.

Hi.

- What do you want?
- What do I want?

Why did you ask me to come here?
We can talk at the station.

Relax. We got the autopsy report
on Marion.

I thought you might want
to take a look at it. Do you?

Just come in.

Fractured skull, like Ulrika.
A small hole made by a blow.

- Are you kidding?
- The difference is, Marion didn't fall,

there's just one fracture,
and she drowned.

No, it can't be. She hasn't been
in the water for three years.

Of course, it's just a preliminary report.
The investigation is continuing.

We're trying to find out
where she died and when,

and whether the body was frozen.

They're checking everything.

Salómon didn't find anything
this morning.

No. It's just a small hole.
It's not strange that he didn't find it.

Fríða and I have been looking
at other cases.

- Is there a connection?
- Yes, we think so.

Okay, and?

Ulrika and Marion are the only ones
who were autopsied.

But that doesn't have to mean
they're all alike.

- I know, but it's strange.
- Yes.

I've known Raggi for over 15 years.

He's been on the edge since Una died,
but he's a good guy, not a bad dude.

I've known Raggi all my life, but...

something happened
during those three years.

- What about Salómon?
- What about him?

He's connected to all of them as well.

Yes. He's the only doctor here.

But he examined all the bodies.

If Raggi is a good guy,
Salómon is...

I mean, he collects stones.

He orders air filters
for the elderly.

Okay, he's a nerd,

but wait, he's got
the final authority here.

Yes, but you heard him
this morning.

He wanted to send the bodies
to Reykjavik, Raggi didn't.

Yes, but I'm looking
at all the possibilities.

- That's what we're doing.
- I don't know what we're doing here.

- What do you mean?
- I'm just saying,

there's red wine here, and a candle,
and your top button is undone.

This came with the room
and I was hot...

Is it forbidden to have
a cosy evening here?

- No, of course not.
- What are you doing?

- Relax.
- Just be honest, Gústi.

- Salómon and I...
- You're sleeping together?

- We're a couple.
- A couple?

- Yes.
- After five days?

- Yes.
- Well done.

You're so lame! Do you know
the difference between you and him?

No, tell me.

He knows what he wants.

I wanted to ask you about Ragnar.

Why doesn't he send bodies
to Reykjavik for autopsies?

He told me it was money
and paperwork.

As I told you before,
he's grown lazy.

And do you think...

that's okay?

No, of course not.
But it's his decision.

But your evaluation does matter.

Sometimes I didn't get the chance
to do a full examination.

I always try my best to determine
the cause of death.

If that's unclear, I always recommend
sending the body for autopsy.

- Some of them were sent.
- Yes, right... right.

We're just wondering
about some things.

Whether Ragnar is...

somehow connected to this.

What do you mean?

His work on this is just so sloppy.

- Yes, it is.
- It's kind of crazy. So...

There is something,
it's either him or...

you.

- Or both of us.
- Yes, or both of you.

- We would be a k*ller team.
- Yes, you would.

- You're not joking.
- About you I am.

- I mean about Ragnar.
- Yes, no... I don't know.

I have no idea
where my head is right now.

My head is empty at the moment.

I don't understand anything
about the case

and we're very busy at work

and there's always
the same nonsense at home.

- Why did you come back home?
- I don't know.

Well, I know. I just hoped
things had changed.

That she had changed.

You're not responsible
for changing your mother.

- You know that.
- I do.

I was obviously stupid enough
to think things could change.

- The speech at the party...
- God, the speech.

- It was horrible.
- It was just the tip of the iceberg.

It just showed
that nothing has changed.

It's the same old...

humiliation.

She always humiliates me
in front of others,

talks down to me...

I see clearly now
that it's emotional abuse.

I didn't see it then.

Then it was physical as well,
of course.

I think I'm just too big now
for her to do that.

I don't know...

I just think that some mothers
shouldn't be mothers.

I understand.

No.

I dreamt of having
a mother like yours.

I envied you so much.
Halla was...

She was my saviour.

Because when Mum
was at her worst,

I could always go to the station.

I stayed there whole nights,
playing cards and so on.

- I don't know if your mum told you...
- Wait.

Did Mum know what your mother
was doing to you?

Yes.

- She always supported me.
- What about Una and Raggi?

No, I don't know.
I've never discussed it with him.

- And she did nothing about it.
- Yes. She helped me.

What changed?
Did anything change afterwards?

She just consoled me.
She was always there.

- But she didn't do anything.
- No, it was...

They were adults.

- But it was a f*cked-up time.
- That's no excuse.

This is ridiculous.
You realise that.

- Yes, now.
- She was a ridiculous woman.

No, Salómon,
you misunderstand completely.

She was like my guardian angel.

You don't know anything
about my mother.

- What do you mean?
- It's...

This just shows
how this society is.

How often do you think
I've talked to people

and told them how Ragnar
has been since Una died?

A hundred times. I've been
leading him like a blind dog

with everything in ruins.

Nothing has ever happened.

That's not the only example.

The car accident.
Not one question.

Nobody ever mentioned it.

The pollution from the sand,

the gunk in our drinking water.

Nobody talks about it because
everyone is codependent.

Do you know
what hurts the most now?

I thought we had
a similar understanding

of the people around us.

We do.

No, you're just as codependent
as those f*cking people.

I'm going to the bathroom.

Sorry.

- It's no problem.
- No, it was horrible.

You were vulnerable and open,
and I attacked you.

That's not okay.

Sorry.

Of course.

What are you talking about
regarding your mother?

What do I not know?

I can't discuss it now.

Later.

Okay.

Thank you.

Salómon.

Salómon.
