01x02 - Hytta

Post by bunniefuu »

- We ate already, but it's quick...
- That's okay.

I cleaned up some clothes
at your place.

Saw that jacket again.
Thought it could fit Leo, but...

we just have to
get rid of that stain.

- It's about the same size.
- Emma...

We can take a look later.
It's in the car.

I talked to Jo. Stine says hello.

Your research assistant
from last year.

I'll explain. But not here.

- Not here.
- Okay, let's go then.

Come, Leo, let's go to the car.
Mom will pay.

Give me the key.

- Give me the key.
- Was the sample from that jacket?

Stenhammar.

Hey, Stenhammar!

Stenhammar?
Hey, I'm talking to you.

Hi.

I see...

That's why you weren't
in the search party?

Found a new one you can
send alone out in the forest.

Leo, come.

You should stay away from him.

Marius Stenhammar is all that
matters to Marius Stenhammar.

- Gutu, stop it.
- Yes.

You fought to get a wolf zone here,
which destroys this town.

And when his errand boy disappears,

he can't be bothered
searching for him.

- What?
- Okay.

- That will do.
- Yes, that will do.

That will do!

You know, everyone is
a bit on edge today.

It will quiet down
as soon as we find Daniel.

Hey, by the way...
It's probably nothing, but...

I heard some from
the hunting party...

talk about the she-wolf
that was filmed this spring.

Right by your house.

They were talking
about sh**ting her.

It could be just talk.

Circumstances are a bit strange now.
Just though you should know.

- Thanks.
- Hope you can stop it.

You know, I think
I forgot my glasses in there.

Could you run in and get them?
I'll see you in the car.

Grandpa forgot his reading glasses.

Hey! Hey!

Wait!

I just talked to Asbjørn.

No news.

They've been searching
with thermal cameras all day.

They'll try again tomorrow.

That's good.

Can I make you anything?
Do you need anything?

A sandwich or hot dogs?

I guess not.

Hello?

Hi! This is Marius Stenhammar...

What's that?

Smestad...

You have reached Johan Smestad.
Please leave a message.

This is Emma Salomonsen,
Marius Stenhammar's daughter.

I'm trying to get a hold of him.
I think maybe you know him.

So... Please call me back.

In general, all I can say is
that there's nothing more to say.

The boy is missing. The search
continues. There's no news.

Then I can't maintain interest
in this case on a national level.

Can you just text me
if something happens?

Sure.

It could be a wolf.

- What's that? Wolf?
- Well...

The boy is apparently
obsessed with wolves.

We're in the wolf zone. The wolves
have moved in very close lately.

Daniel being interested in wolves
doesn't mean that we have...

Ørnulf, I'm just as concerned about
wolves and nature as you are.

But if you can get me a story about
the boy being taken by wolves,

- then it's a scoop.
- We'll need more,

or there will be chaos.

The whole town is out searching.
There's already chaos.

There's talk about
a wolf being involved.

We can't base anything
on just talk.

Naim, when you say there's talk,

does that mean
that there's a source?

The boy is apparently friends
with the local wolf scientist.

- So I think...
- If you get a wolf angle on this,

this will be our main story,
with news alerts.

You'll follow up on this, Ørnulf?

- Okay.
- We'll talk later.

We'll get home very late.

Yes, but we can't go home until
we've gotten a hold of grandpa.

Hi, you've reached
Marius Stenhammar...

- Hi, can I talk to Marius?
- No, he's not here.

When will he be back?

I don't know.

Haven't I seen you before?

Hm?

Oh my god, Emma? Emma!

It's so good to see you.

- I'm sorry, I... I don't know...
- It's Kathinka.

- Kathinka?
- We were in first grade together.

Then you moved to your grandparents.

After that... Well...

I...

was just wondering if Marius
had said anything about Daniel.

Daniel? Daniel Belset.
Is that your son?

Yes. He wouldn't tell us anything.

I have no idea where he is
or anything else.

He had a special relationship
with your father.

I was hoping that he had
said something or...

that he knew something.

No. Maybe you should go home
and get some sleep?

I'll tell him to call you
as soon as he gets back.

Could you do that?

It's horrible not knowing.

Mm-hm.

But...

It's so good to see you.

Shouldn't you have told her
about the jacket?

Hi. It's Emma.

- Is everything okay?
- The sample my father sent you...

When did you get it?
What did he say?

I got it on Saturday. And...

He didn't say much.

Just that I shouldn't log it.
And then...

to give the results
directly to him.

But it seemed urgent.

- Did he say where it was from?
- No.

Can't you just ask him yourself?

How did he react to the results?

He didn't really react.
He was rather quiet.

Okay.

- Or...
- Yeah?

There was one thing. I don't know
if it's relevant, but he...

He asked me if I could confirm that
the hairs came from the alpha male.

- The pups' father?
- Yes.

I just thought it was strange
because...

I mean, I know he's good,
but how could he know?

So he was right?

Yes. And when I confirmed it,
he just hung up.

But the alpha male's GPS collar
has been inactive since June, right?

That's correct.
And it's just that...

I'll drive around town
and look for grandpa.

You can make our bed
in the meantime.

Are we staying here?

There are bed sheets in the dresser
upstairs. You'll figure it out.

- Hello.
- Hi.

I hear you talked to Stine.

What's going on?
What did Marius say

- about the sample?
- He...

I haven't talked to him.
He just left.

Left?

Then you're going to
the police with it.

Then those wolves are condemned.
You know that.

Listen. A boy is missing.

We have a sample of wolf hair

and blood from an unknown human.

The person that knows
what the connection is, left.

There's no question about it.

You know what,
I'll call them myself.

No! I'll do it.

Mom?

You couldn't find him?

It's almost one o'clock, Mom.

I'm going to bed now.

DID YOU TALK TO THE POLICE?

I'M GOING TO DO IT NOW

Yeah...

It's a good turnout today too.

I talked to Vigdis.

She said that Harald's one of those
back at work at the sawmill.

That's good.

Yes, but 25 people
are still furloughed.

Mm-hm.

Could you take over here?

Hi, Lars. Asbjørn Kolomoen here.

I hear that you still have
25 people furloughed?

Hi.

Hi.

This is Marius Stenhammar's
house, right?

- He's not here.
- That's too bad.

- Do you know where he is?
- No.

Are you related to Marius?

- Uh...
- Sorry. Um...

I'm Naim.
Journalist, from Østerdølen.

I see.

That's right. Did you write

all those great stories
about the wolves?

I've covered most of
the predator stories, yes.

Mm-hm.

And you think that's okay?

The spirit you whipped up in
the comment sections is just fine?

It was there long before
I wrote those pieces.

People are desperate.

They lose their sheep, their dogs.

They're even afraid
to send their kids to school.

There were some very nasty comments,
you know.

Yes, and we've removed them.

Too late, maybe. You're right
about that. That's unfortunate.

But I still have to do my job
even if some idiots can't behave.

Oh, please.

But...

Has Asbjørn talked to him?

- Asbjørn?
- The sheriff. Has he been here?

You'll have to ask him.

He hasn't been here to ask Marius
for his professional opinion on

whether Daniel could have
been attacked by wolves?

Wolves don't attack humans.

A wolf hasn't attacked a human
in Norway in over 200 years.

- But what if...?
- Did you not hear me?

Wolves don't attack humans.

You stay here.

You stay here!

Picking a fight with
younger kids again?

Or... That's right,
you were held back a few years.

So they're maybe in your class?

- I forgot about that.
- Shut up.

I like your nose piercing.

Do you have one
in your p*ssy too?

Do you have one
in your p*ssy too? Huh?

You know what happens to snitches,
right? You know that, right?

- Hello?
- It's Johan Smestad.

- You called me.
- Yes! Um...

I'm trying to reach my father.
You're listed in his address book.

Okay... Address book?

Marius Stenhammar, do you know him?

Uh...

- You're his daughter?
- Correct. Do you know where he is?

Uh...

I found an envelope with your
name on it. It's full of money.

Oh, really? If you bring them here,

- we could talk about it.
- Great.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Have you seen Marius Stenhammar
here lately? That wolf guy.

No, not in the last few days.

Thanks.

Did you take the day off
from school?

I'm sorry. I'm working on
a story for Østerdølen

about Daniel's disappearance.

Maybe you know him?

He's one of my classmates.

Do you know what he's
up to in his spare time?

He's gaming and stuff.

I hear he's out in the woods a lot.

Yes.

He's got a cabin there.

So... You're Emma?

I'm a collector.

Nice, right?

I was lucky enough to get it
from the authorities.

It got hit by the train.

Beautiful animals.

- Wolves are something else, right?
- Mm-hm.

You said you knew
where Marius might be?

Yes. Did you bring the money?

Yes.

You don't have to be so worried.
It's just rent for the cabin.

Yes. How much does he owe?

For this year and half of last year?
10,500.

He gets it cheap.

The cabin is very basic.
I don't use it.

It's important work...

what Marius is doing.

As you can see,
I'm interested in biodiversity.

- Where is this cabin?
- I'll show you.

It's a bit of a distance.
Up toward the mountains.

But that's how Marius likes it.
So he can be left alone.

Mm-hm.

- Okay. Thank you.
- My pleasure.

Hi.

- Hi.
- I heard your car.

No news, unfortunately.

But, um... Knut Ove, is he home?

Yes. He's down by the annex.

Does Daniel come here often?

Yes, he doesn't like it at home.

Okay.

Why?

I don't know.
We don't talk much about it.

He often stays at my place too.
But not as much as here.

And he's working with Marius.
Tracking and such.

- So Daniel is your boyfriend?
- No, he's not.

He wasn't scared? Of the wolf?

No. He's not stupid.

Only idiots are scared of the wolf.

PREDATORS' VOICE NORWAY

We can have this conversation
at the station if you want.

So the whole town can gossip
about me being interrogated all day?

Great suggestion.

You didn't join
the search party today.

- Are you keeping attendance?
- It's just a bit strange.

It's your stepson who's missing.

Kathinka's not there either.

- No.
- No.

You know what's the difference
between you and Kathinka?

What?

She didn't lie about her alibi.

I haven't lied about anything.

Yeah, you were at work
at Østerdølen sawmill, right?

Yes.

I called the manager there.

He confirmed that you have been
furloughed since June.

It's very stupid to lie
about one's alibi.

Knut Ove...
You're making yourself look bad.

I just didn't want her to know.
There's nothing more to it.

She must've noticed
that you haven't been going to work.

No.

I leave every morning.
I drive to the woods and...

walk around for hours.
Or I just sit in the car.

Okay.

But on Friday I was at Jon's place
to change some boards in his barn.

Can your brother confirm this?

- Was he there?
- No...

We'd just made a deal
to get it done over the weekend.

That weirdo Johan Smestad
was around. He saw me.

Just ask him.

Okay.

Should we start, then?

It's not fun anymore.

No one's forcing you to join us.

I think we should stop.

- Mom thinks Daniel is dead.
- I don't care what she thinks.

f*ck Daniel.

Okay, let's go. Who's got it?

Marius?

Hello?

Marius?

To what do I owe this pleasure?

- Last Friday...
- Yes?

Did you see Knut Ove
up by Tømmerås' old barn?

That's difficult to remember.

Mm-hm.

What were you doing?
Where were you Friday night?

What I was doing?

The usual. Ate some good food
and drank a few glasses of wine.

Then I washed and de-greased
a common buzzard I had an order for.

But you can't remember if
you saw Knut Ove on Friday?

Hm?

No.

Oh yes, as a matter of fact!

I did see Knut Ove on Friday.

When I was out for a walk.
And he saw me.

So, I guess both of us have alibis.

Mm-hm.

Thank you for the tip.
We'll look into it. Okay.

Okay. Bye.

- Jo Ås from SNO called.
- Okay.

Marius Stenhammar submitted
a blood-stained sample of wolf fur

three days ago.

Human blood.

- Really?
- I tried calling him. No answer.

Go to Kathinka's.
Try to get some of Daniel's DNA.

Let's see if it's a match
for the blood.

Tell her it's just a routine test.

I'll be damned...

Maybe we should warn people
in case it's actually a wolf.

No, not yet.
We mustn't create panic.

- Emma Salomonsen?
- Yes?

Hi. Asbjørn Kolomoen. I've tried to
reach your dad several times today.

He's not here.
I'll let him know you stopped by.

We were contacted by Jo Ås.

The department head at SNO.

He wanted to know what we were
going to do with the sample.

He seemed confused when I said
that we hadn't received any sample.

"That can't be right," he said.

"Emma Salomonsen should've
told you everything hours ago."

I was on my way to tell you,
but I got held up.

- Held up?
- Yes.

You're withholding evidence
in a missing child's case.

This is just routine?
You haven't found anything?

Sorry. It's just routine.
So that we can have his DNA.

Was there a hair brush?

- Down there.
- Here?

- You will get it back.
- Okay.

- What the hell are you doing?
- Kathinka let me get some of...

- Are you allowed to do that?
- Yes.

You are? You don't need
a search warrant or anything?

- Huh?
- Kathinka gave her approval, so...

That's bullshit. Bullshit!

So it wasn't just a hair sample?
You've seen Daniel's jacket?

And it was covered in blood?

And you didn't go to the police
'cause you want to protect the wolf?

I just wanted to wait
until Marius came back.

Because he will have
an explanation for this.

Okay.

And one thing I'm sure of:
No wolf injured or k*lled Daniel.

How can you be so sure?

Basic knowledge
of normal wolf behavior.

Wolves try to avoid humans.
They're afraid of us.

That's not right.

The wolves have come close.
They've walked near the houses.

k*lled sheep. k*lled dogs.

It's probably a roaming wolf,
that's not part of the territory.

It kills sheep because it hunts
alone and can't hunt big game.

Well, I've already
talked to your boss.

He couldn't rule out that
a territory-establishing wolf...

That's what it's called, right?

...could hunt sheep.

But...

Daniel is too big.

Okay?

In theory, a wolf could hunt a child
if they happened upon each other,

but Daniel is 15
and 170 centimeters tall.

So the wolf carries
a measuring tape?

It's irrelevant anyway. The hair was
from the territory's alpha male.

He hunts with the she-wolf.
And together, they go for big game.

So together
they can take down a moose?

But not a 170 centimeters tall boy?

- Um... No! What I'm.. Actually...
- No, you know what?

I have to go public with this.

If people find out
that you've withheld information

about a dangerous wolf
in the area...

But I'm telling you
it's not dangerous!

But I'm fairly certain someone
planted those hairs on that jacket.

Don't waste time looking for wolves
when Kathinka's son is missing!

You should focus on finding whoever
planted those hairs on that jacket!

We'll keep you posted.

Hi.

- Hi, Kathinka.
- Hi.

Kathinka's had a long day.
Maybe come back tomorrow.

It's okay.

Just kick me out if it's too much.

Harassing a scared mother
just so you can get your story?

We're both just doing our jobs.

I'm trying to find out
what happened to Daniel.

Me too.

And the police's main theory is?

I saw Asbjørn's car.

Outside Marius Stenhammar's house.

If you have any reason to think
it's a wolf, I hope you'll tell us.

Of course we will.

So we can warn people.

Tell people to keep
their children indoors.

No.

We'll lose all trust
we've built with Asbjørn.

There's still no proof that
the sample contained Daniel's blood.

It's approved by your boss.

Tuva is a good enough source
even if she's anonymous.

Okay.

What's on your mind?

Well... See...

If it's like you say...

That someone planted those hairs...

and the blood on the jacket...

then there are
dangerous people here.

Yes. In that case,
it's a matter for the police.

Were the hairs on the jacket
from a male wolf?

Mm-hm.

Why?

Some guy outside the tavern
talked about...

sh**ting the she-wolf
that was caught on camera here.

Hm?

Why didn't you mention this before?

Uh...

Wow...

What's up?

The alpha male's collar's been dark
since June. Now it's on again.

- Okay...
- By the cabin.

FENRIS IS AWAKENING
WOLF SCIENTIST HID BELSET-EVIDENCE

Are we publishing?

Uh...

Yes. Go ahead.

Marius?

Dad?

Hello?
