01x08 - The Showdown

[bunniefuu]

-Hi.

-Hi.

-What type of place is this?

-An old furniture factory.

My dad worked here in the

eighties, but it's been

empty for probably ten years.

f*ck. Trond Kverntangen.

We don't even have as much

as a speeding ticket on him.

I don't like this.

If he's in there,

how's he going to react?

f*ck it. We don't have time.

Lets go in.

You take the entrance over there.

You take the entrance on the side.

Got it.

The key?

The building is empty.

There's no one here.

Okay. What about paper work?

Or computers?

No, there’s just old rubbish from

the furniture factory.

Looks like he's taken everything out.

-Is it long since he left?

-No.

There's fresh wheel tracks

outside the garage.

Has she been here?

We haven't seen any sign of her.

Okay. He's had her now for several days.

We're going to find her alive.

I'm going to find her.

And there's no other registered

addresses for North Security?

The company is affiliated with

a call centre.

But we would have to check it out.

Otherwise, everything takes

place online.

But the website

Is Trond managing that too?

I don't know.

It says here that a company called

Webconsult designed the website.

And they're based in Nerbygd.

-Hi.

-Hi?

Webconsult? Is that here?

Yes. Come in.

Hi. Hello?

Are you Webconsult?

Yes.

It's you who created the website

for North Security?

Yeah. Yes. That's right.

-Hi.

-Hello.

What's your name?

I'm Bjørnar Michaelsen.

Now you have to help the police a bit,

Bjørnar, and there'll be no fuss. Okay?

Do you know Trond Kverntangen?

Yes. But only over email.

Can you help us to get hold of the

client list?

That means everyone that's

purchased something from them.

-What do you want them for?

-We’re trying to find out

where his company operates.

What do I have to do with this?

sh*t. Yes, that’s the whole of

Northern Norway.

Plus Sweden. Plus Finland.

Where would you put a server,

Bjørnar?

What kind of server?

We have a girl who's locked in a room.

Kidnapped.

The man who did it

is sending a stream of the girl.

He's going to take her life,

if we don’t find her.

-He's streaming now? Live?

-Yes.

Somewhere here in the area.

Can I see?

And you've tried to locate the stream?

He's sending it via a server.

Or, does he not have to do that?

Yeah, there's lots of methods to do it.

It could be via a mobile network,

or it could also be through the cloud.

But anyway. For all we know,

this might be delayed.

It might not be a clean live

stream, but a

This can be lots of hours ago.

But he has lights.

Yes?

If you cut the power, then

-We'll be able to see if it's live.

-And where she is.

Can the power plant cut the power

in different areas?

Yes.

Thank you, Bjørnar.

I guess the police can just order

them to turn off the power,

-and then we'll see?

-Listen. I have a plan.

Do you have a fishing license?

You're a d*ck.

Johan We need to cut off the

power to a few areas.

You need to cut off the power?

To a few areas?

Yes.

We need your help, Johan. Really.

Yes, but surely that must be possible.

I'm available as a

consultant on an hourly basis.

It's part of the scheme.

After I've been compensated

for overtime in 2019.

Up until last week.

You know everyone in the

district, Johan.

Also, getting the power turned off

is not that simple.

We have to contact the Armed

Forces High Command,

we have to call all the emergency

services, we have to

Can't you let this one through, Johan.

I know you have a short cut on this.

I know you know what's going on.

We're in the middle of a kidnapping

case here.

Isn't that typical, huh?

As soon as I go on sick leave,

then things start to happen here.

I didn't think you liked that

things happened?

-So she had it right the whole time?

-Yes.

Oh, God.

What?

No I can't stop thinking that

If only I'd Then he would

have maybe been stopped before,

and this wouldn't have gone

on for so long

You can't think like that, Johan.

Everyone is doing their best.

What difference does that make?

But okay! There's only one way

we can do this.

There'll be no fishing.

This here is my good friend,

Odd Knut Sandbakken.

He's the boss at at the power plant.

And yes, we're friends from the

Rotary Club.

At least he has an idea of how this

could be done.

-Yes?

-Yes.

I've been thinking about this a bit,

and it's not a problem for us to

switch off one area at a time.

We run stress tests from time to time.

To test civil preparedness, without

me going into too much details for whom.

That area are we talking about?

So, we have four large areas, and

it's from the river here and down

towards Bardufoss.

Then it's from here and north

towards and past Nerbygd.

The third goes from here and east.

We've also got the

cabling that goes here,

over the fjord, and up

towards Storfjord.

-Can we begin here?

-Yes.

-Good.

-Then that's what we do'll do.

Yes.

Come on.

Maja, look at this.

Dan Robin, rewind a bit.

A bit more.

There! There.

It's getting dark there.

It's ten o'clock.

That's to say,

that's somewhere here.

This is forest area?

-And this is buildings?

-These here are old hunting lodges.

They've probably been there for

a hundred years.

And the good thing here, is that

there's only one road

through this area.

It's a private gravel track, which

runs along the Djupelva.

If he goes by car, that's the only

way he can drive.

If we set up a barrier here,

we can also block the road here.

We'll also pray to God that he

transports Elle by car.

-Do we have him now?

-We have him.

Help! Help! Help! Is anyone there?!

Help!

Hi, this is Maja.

Hi Maja, do you remember me?

Yes. I remember you.

What do you want?

In an hour I'll call you to

tell you where you're going.

Why should I answer in an hour?

I have no reason to trust you.

I just want to chat with you, Maja.

Okay. It's a chance I'm willing to take.

On one condition.

This is between you and me.

You don't hurt Elle.

If I so much as get a feeling that

you're up to something,

then you're on your own.

It'll be nice. You and I, Maja.

We'll talk in an hour.

That was Trond.

He wants to talk with me.

No, Maja

-Hi.

-Hi.

We have a barrier at both ends.

He's not getting anywhere by car.

-He's made contact.

-What did he say?

He wants me.

Well, I don't f*cking know, Maja.

This is way beyond all

Rules? Or procedures?

You know what I mean.

This is my choice.

I'm going in.

He'll call me, most likely,

and give me instructions.

But what the f*ck does he want?

He wants to have control.

He wants to observe.

The combination of adrenaline

and control is for him

an intoxicating drug.

It's like sex. He wants the pleasure

to last as long as possible.

He doesn't k*ll until he has to.

What do we achieve with him having

control over you?

That he shifts focus, maybe.

That we get some kind of

dynamic into this situation.

-Yes, but what is he's plan?

-He has no overall plan.

He just wants the intoxication to

last as long as possible.

He's probably in the woods now,

on his way into some kind of ecstasy.

I think the situation is

exhausting him.

The fact that he wants control means

that deep down he's just a coward.

The most dangerous thing we

can do is let him get bored.

He only kills when he knows he has

nothing more to get.

I want to go in and meet him.

He's going to focus on me now.

Not Elle.

Yes?

Turn around.

Are you going to let her go, Trond?

That's what you're thinking.

Aren't you?

I'll be completely honest with you,

Maja. I've not decided yet.

What do you think?

Keep going.

Can I ask you something?

It was you, wasn't it?

I've never been sure if it was just

a dream or if it

You liked that I held you down.

You think so?

You think so? You think a ten

year old girl likes to be held down?

You asked for it, yeah.

-Did I?

-Yes.

All girls are asking for it.

Exactly what do you think we're

asking for?

-

To be tamed.

-f*cking hell.

That's a fantasy.

And you know it.

Someone took control away from you.

Was there someone who held you down?

Or was there someone who

showed you what control could be?

Because you have to lose control

to become so obsessed with it.

That it's the most important thing

in your whole life.

What you want more than

anything else.

-What happened to you?

-You're blind, Maja.

-What? Is it someone I know?

-Stop.

Who was it, Trond?

I like that you're trying to turn

the game around.

I know you like it.

Keep going.

There's a fine line between control

and chaos.

And that's where you like to be.

Where it's most dangerous.

Where you can be

discovered at any moment.

You're not interested in Elle.

That's not the kick.

What you get a kick out

of is control.

You get a kick out of control

because it's your kind of love.

You don't know anything else.

I don't like this.

What if he takes her as a hostage?

What would he gain?

He has a hostage.

What's he up to then?

I don't know what the hell he's up to.

You see Anna and Silja every day,

but you don't understand

what they want.

You understand that they love you,

but you don't understand why.

Whether you deserve it.

And that's the way it's been.

As long as you can remember.

That feeling.

Alone. Outside.

Smarter than the whole world.

But more and more you start

to wonder if there might be

something wrong with you.

And desire just dies.

Now it's more like an old habit.

Or a bad habit, you might say.

But the longing, Trond.

The longing will never go away.

You've tamed her now, Trond.

You can let her go.

You're done with her. Hm?

It's not that simple, Maja.

Maja, you're wrong.

-I'm wrong?

-Mhm.

I just enjoyed watching.

Turn to your right.

And the other way.

I enjoyed watching him

hold you down.

That who held me down?

You know who.

-No.

-Your cousin, maybe?

-Was it Eivind?

-Maybe.

Maybe there were others?

-Were there others?

-

Mhm.

Who, Trond?

Your brother, maybe.

Was it Petter?

It's Maja.

-Can you talk?

-He's bluffing.

He doesn't know what

he wants. He's just stalling.

-But I think I found something.

-Mhm.

-I'll call you back.

-Okay.

-I thought you'd retired.

-Yes.

There was just so much I had

to clean up.

But, technically, I'm not out of work

until I've done what I have

left of overtime.

So I'll drop by and do a bit

now and then.

You're not going to leave voluntarily,

are you?

Listen,

I've been thinking about something.

Why didn't we understand what

was happening at the hotel?

That Sofie was involved in

with selling herself?

Because you're a man.

And men don't listen to women.

You want to sort it out,

but you don't listen.

That there, that's

Feminist bullshit?

If there's anyone to blame here,

it's actually a woman.

Sofie's mother?

We are women, Johan.

We're just trying to survive.

Just like you men.

We're managing, we carry shame.

But it would've been so much

easier if you'd just listened.

Hey. Go back to London.

Don't make more trouble here

in Nerbygd, please.

-Get a grip.

-Goodbye.

Hi.

Do you know what

bothers me the most?

That he chickened out.

Of course he was a coward, Maja.

We have 26 open cases against

Trond Kverntangen now.

It’ll take years to investigate.

But it's Troms and special forces

who'll take the lead.

Who knows, maybe we'll

learn something.

Are you going to go home now?

And you?

No, I don't know. Who knows?

Maybe when you come back

in ten years then

You'll still be sitting in

there bickering with Johan.

There's an awful lot to bicker

about in Nerbygd. Luckily.

You could come to

London and sort it out.

I don't think I'd cope with their

police hats.

No, London's not exactly Nerbygd.

Regards to the Prince then.
