01x02 - Hello Old friend

[bunniefuu]

♪ In a matter of minutes ♪

♪ There's something
I want you ♪

♪ To know by now ♪

♪ Let's grab a quick sandwich ♪

♪ And make up no rules
To go by now ♪

And when were you
going to tell me?

I'm away for a couple of days
and you go behind my back?

You were not "away."

You were suspended for a week
for assaulting an officer.

Morning.
Morning.

What's up with your hand?

He deserved it.
I slipped on the ice.

Again?

What are they yelling about?

You.

Is that him?

Yup. Be nice.

Hey.
Hi.

Lukas, join us.
Morning. Hi.

Hi.
Have a seat, please.

Thank you.

Hulda, this is
Lukas Sigrunarson.

He was with
the Birmingham police in the UK.

Made quite the impression
over there.

It's an honor
to meet you, Hulda.

I've heard a lot about you.

How is this going to work?

Well, that's pretty simple.

Uh, you two are partners now.

Since when has this department
had partners?

He'd be more, uh,
learning the ropes from you

as part of the, uh...

transition.

I'm no babysitter.

I'll do my best
to pick it up quickly.

I'm just here
to support you before you go.

So... so he's here
to push me out?

He's here to learn
from a detective whose skills

are going to be sorely missed.

We'll start with your curtsy,

and learning to eat sh*t
is another thing

you need to get really good at.

Hulda, please,
you're one of our best cops.

Lukas has done
some excellent work in Britain.

You two will make a great team.

If he's so excellent,
why did he leave the UK

to work in Reykjavik?

Ah, you must have solved
every crime at home, then.

Well, I was actually born
in Iceland, and then I moved--

I don't care.

God's sake, Hulda,

you're lucky to be back at work.

Listen, I, uh...

...it's not how
I wanted you to find out,

but, uh, right now,

I'd be more,
uh, concerned about

keeping your record clean
before you retire.

Could you please
give us a minute?

Yeah, sure. Um, looking forward
to working with you.

Yeah, fantastic.
Thank you.

I get it.

Smile, nod,

don't make a lot of noise
on your way out, right?

Hulda, retirement,
it doesn't have to be

all, you know,
all-or-nothing.

Oh, sh-- Spare me.

What would you
know about it anyway?

I know the last week
has been out of character.

It's been a year
since Dimma... passed.

I'm sure this is a hard time.

And if there's
anything you need...

I need
to get back to work.

Thanks.

Hey.

How are you?

You should've seen
the other guy.

Well, I did.

Good for you.
Hmm.

Magnus thinks I'm...

...acting out
because of

Dimma's death anniversary.

I miss her.

A lot.

Me, too.

Anytime you want to talk,

we could go to Dillon's,
grab a drink.

Yeah, let's do that soon.

Okay.

Ah, sorry, bad habit.

Sorry about your, uh, desk.
I didn't mean to...

Take it over?
Yeah, no.

Yeah, you're right.
Sorry.

Uh, so I looked
into the Popova case,

and according to the files,
all her gear was brand-new.

I'm aware.

Well, she's a refugee
with no record of a job

or family money, I mean,
how did she afford it?

It's not cheap.

Unless, of course,
someone bought it for her.

And, um,
I also tracked down

the last place
that Katja was seen,

a language class.

It's run out of the Icelandic
Humanitarian Society

near Briedholt,
where the hostel is.

I was thinking that, um...

maybe we could head down there,
talk to one of the teachers,

get a sense of the vibe.

That'd be great detective work

to get a sense of the "vibe."

Hey, uh, Hulda,
is it okay if I get a ride?

My, um, car, I-I left my car
downtown last night.

It's kind of--

Hey.

Stay here and work
on that high-end clothing deal.

Meet me at the hostel later.

Get that finger fixed.
It's ugly.

♪ I'mma tag along ♪

♪ Washed up on your shore ♪

♪ Where to go? ♪

♪ I'll wait for the day ♪

♪ Wait till you adore me
Anyway ♪

Bjartur Hermannsson?

I'm here about a former
student of yours,

Katja Popova?

Of course.

I saw. In the news.

Such a tragedy.
Were you close?

Uh, not especially.

She was a really nice girl.

From what I knew of her.
Mm.

They're not often
here for long.

The refugees, you mean?
Yeah.

S-Sorry, I mean, I...

I teach mostly refugees.

It's not an easy life
for them, but, um...

Katja hid it well, I guess.

Hid what?
Well...

she committed suicide, right?

I'm not at liberty to say.
Oh.

Do you know the date of
the last class Katja attended?

Off the top of my head,
no, but...

Let me...
Yeah.

Here. This Tuesday.

A few weeks ago.

A few weeks ago
and you didn't report it?

No. I mean, people are free
to come and go as they please.

But I've, uh, got here
that she left during the break.

Do you know
where she was going?

No. Sorry.

Did she have friends
in class,

anyone in particular
she hung out with?

There is this Russian girl.
Mm-hmm.

Elena.

Elena Dubrovsky.
Right.

Do you know if Katja ever worked
somewhere, off the books?

Look,
I don't know for sure.

But she had a lot
of interest from men.

Was she seeing anyone,
do you think?

Maybe.
Thanks.

Ooh, uh--

Uh, I did see her get picked up
a couple times in a 4x4.

Anything more specific?

It was black.

Looked expensive.

There was a rumor
going around

that she was
earning money from sex.

Did you report that?
Well, it was just a rumor.

And to be honest,
no one asked.

Can you confirm where you went
after class that day?

I would have been
at football.

The rec center
can verify that, I'm sure.

Can I get the details
of the other students--

names, numbers?

Sure.
Great.

Thanks.

I need you to call
all Katja's classmates.

Their details are here.
Okay.

And, uh, find out
who she was hanging with,

like, we know she's really
close with Elena Dubrovsky,

that we're, hopefully,
gonna talk to now.

Yeah.
And the teacher claims

that he was working
the day she disappeared.

So confirm that.
Okay.

And what time Katja was leaving.
Yeah, sure.

Yeah.
Oh, and I looked
into the clothing.

I'm still trying to confirm, uh,
where and when it was purchased.

Okay. So...
Excuse me.

I'll ask the questions and you
stay in the background, okay?

Okay. Sure.
Good.

Let's go find Elena.

We can have a cake.

Okay.
We can make at home.

Okay.
Cat fur cake?

No. Spiderweb cake.

Spiderweb cake?
That's gross.

Get names and headshots

of other tenants, okay?

Okay.

Do you have my key?
Uh, I will grab it.

Is Elena Dubrovsky here?

Elena Dubrovsky?
Elena Dubrovsky.

Uh, no. Sorry. No.

She's not here?
She's not here. No.

Is this about Katja?
Yeah.

Terrible, isn't it?

Did she often go hiking
in the glacier?

You know, that's what
I can't figure that out.

'Cause she really didn't seem
like that type.

No, she was very stylish,
very elegant.

Into fashion.
High heels and stuff.

She's probably the last person
I could imagine hiking.

Wow. Well, I might have
some more questions

for you in a little bit.

Oh. There you are.

L-Let's, uh, talk in our room.

I... I know you feel like...

...no one's listening to you,

but I'm here.

It's-it's too late now.

For Katja, yes.

But I'm going to find out
what happened to her.

And if someone hurt her,
I will find them.

There-There's a rumor about
how Katja was making money.

Do you know anything about that?

Uh...

Darling,
please go do puzzle.

Ooh, puzzle.
Please go do puzzle.

Come on, mate. Come with me.

Yeah.

Come with me.
Puzzle.

Show me where
the puzzles are kept.

I don't know about the rumor,

but, uh, Katja did go
to party once.

She came home very upset.

Wouldn't tell me what happened.
Wouldn't talk at all.

And did you tell this
to the other detective?

No, no, I didn't want anyone
think bad about her.

For her chance to-to stay here,

you know?
Of course.

Um, do you know
whose party this was?

And you were not invited,

you were never invited
to one of these parties?

No, no, no, no.

I-I never go.
Are you sure?

I not risk future here.

I have Rudi.
Yes.

Katja, too. We...

we care for each other,
like family.

She-she swore she wasn't
doing anything, but

she would go out some night...
Yeah.

...and, uh, she had money
out of thin air.

I think she had boyfriend.

And do you know who he was,
the boyfriend?

I-I-I don't know.

That's hard to believe.
If you ask her,

and you were her best friend,
and you ask about the boyf...

I don't understand.

It makes no sense for her
to take such risk with her visa.

Do you know what we had
to go through to get here?

We risk everything for new life.

Of course.
Of course, of course.

I understand.

{\an8}

Mm.

Okay.

Maybe lower.

Aye. Good.

That's a nice coat.

Thanks.

Where did you get that?

Auntie Katja.

Auntie Katja. Wow.

Very kind of her.
That's a nice gift, innit?

Let me--
Can I take a picture?

Photo? Hmm?

Say... Look at me.
And say...

"green peas."
Green peas.

Great.

What does "green peas" mean?

Like the vegetable.

Small green peas.

That jacket of Rudi's

is from the same shop
as all Katya's gear.

It sells for more
than my paycheck.

It's horrible.
What?

The situation
these women are in.

It's just...
Yeah, yeah.

The system is brutal.

Brutal?

There is no system
for these people.

We may as well
throw them in the ocean.

{\an8}
All she wants
is a better life for her son.

Belt.

Did, uh, Rudi say where
he got the jacket from?

Katja.

Who's that?

Aki Haraldsson.

His parties Elena mentioned
made me think of him.

Ran a sex ring.

Got out of jail
about a year ago.

Do you think
he's involved?

Maybe.

Oh, sh*t.

I have to go. Ugh.

See you tomorrow.

It's been really hard
to accept that feeling.

It's not been very easy.

Thank you
for sharing.

Welcome.

Thank you.

Uh, maybe... Ahem.

...you want to share, Hulda?

No, thanks.

It's absolutely okay.

No expectations here.

Only when you're ready.

I'd like to say something.
Yes, Jon.

Um...

Our daughter was 19
when she...

And, um...

But, when she was a baby,
um, she got sick.

She had fever
and, um, this awful,

awful cry. We just...
couldn't put her down.

So, um, so Hulda and I,
we took turns just, um...

holding her in our arms
for two nights.

But, on the third night,
I didn't wake up.

And, uh, I had set the alarm
and everything,

but for whatever reason,
it didn't go off, so...

Hulda held Dimma
in her arms all night.

Just walking around the house

in the dark.

And I really don't know
how she did it.

But, um...

Of course,
when-when Dimma got better,

we-we forgot how hard
it'd been, but...

I sometimes... worry

that we failed her
from the start,

naming her Dimma.

You know? Darkness.

Like we cursed her or something.

That was quite a performance.

What?
That night
when Dimma was a baby?

Yeah?
I wasn't letting you sleep.

I tried to wake you.
I was desperate for help,

and you ignored me.
H-Hulda...

Your alarm went off. I heard it.

You just didn't want to help...

What do you mean?
...because it's too hard.

You forgot that detail when
you were parading your grief.

Hulda--
I'm going for a walk.

Hulda?

Oh. Moa!

You--
Moa?

Moa, come here.

I swear to God,
I'm not making her do this.

She's a welcome distraction.

Moa, come on.

She can stay with me.

Moa.
No, you stay with me.

Sorry.

Wow. What's going on?
Moa.

Ah... I'm going out to dinner.

Just dinner?
Yes, just dinner.

Wow.
Why? What?

It's very...

You're very... dressed up.

You think it's too much?

What about this?

Is this... is-is this better?

Hmm. Just...

Well, it...
Not better?

Yeah. Hold on.

I'm not too--
Perfect.

Oh?
It's great.

I need help.

Are you having dinner
with your girlfriend?

She is not... my anything.

Sure looked like a something.

I think she figures
that, you know,

if she sticks around
for just a little bit longer,

then I'll die,
and she'll get the house.

It is a great house.

Why do you bother?
Isn't it all a bit exhausting?

I don't know.
Um, the company, I guess.

Somebody to talk to.

But I'm definitely too old
for this sh*t.

Yeah, you are.
Yeah.

Um, what about you?

Maybe I am.

I don't know.
No.

I-I mean,
what are your plans for tonight?

Uh, huge glass of whiskey,
in bed by 9.

Yeah, you see, that...
that is my kind of night.

Have a good evening.
Okay.

You look good. Yeah.
Thank you.

I've been thinking
about what you said, and, uh,

that's not how I remember it.

You know, Hulda,

when you retire,

you have nothing
to fill your days.

Nothing to divert you
from more important things.

Would that be you?

At least I'm willing
to confront Dimma's death.

You, you seem happy to, uh...

You haven't cried
since her funeral, not once.

You haven't dealt
with the ashes.

I mean, this avoidance,
it's, uh, it's not natural.

Our child dying before us,

is that natural?

Taking her life
and us never knowing why.

Never knowing what...

...what was hurting her
so badly

that she had to k*ll herself?

None of this is natural.

I think just maybe what happened
to you as a child--

that trauma, your mom,
everything--

perhaps this trauma

makes it harder
for you to let go.

"Let go."

It-it makes sense,
that's all I'm trying to--

Don't you dare.
Don't you dare talk about that

like you understand any of it.

You have no idea.

Sleep on the couch.

Hey. Can I sit here?

Uh, sorry, it's taken.

What?

Uh, you must really
want to be alone.

I'll drink with you, then.

Uh, it's never a good idea
to drink with tourists.

I'm not a tourist.
I live here.

Where?

Not far.

I just moved back a week ago.

I was born here,
but I've been away a while.

So you chose to move back here?

Bit of a red flag.

So far, I'm liking what I see.

Why not?

♪ Every talk and every take ♪

Oh.

♪ Are strewn
Around the bathroom floor ♪

Oh.
Mmm.

The problem is,
it's just too far...

♪ Every nod and every shake ♪

♪ Are spread
Over the corridor ♪

♪ Every point and every kick ♪

♪ Are giving me
The go-around... ♪

Sorry. It is clean.

Probably.

♪ Everything I've ever ♪

Oh, f*ck.

F-- sh*t.

Hey.

Have you seen Karen?

Uh, yeah,
she's in the lunchroom.

'Kay. Come with me.

{\an8}I spoke to all of the students
in Katja's class,

{\an8}and a few of them remember
seeing her leave that day,

{\an8}but they don't know
where she was going.

Oh, and a admin
at the rec center has Bjartur

playing there in the evening.

Okay.

Hey, Karen.

Aki Haraldsson--
he-he was your case, right?

Yeah.
Do you think he'll talk to us?

Watch out, Hulda.
He's dangerous.

Why did he only get five years
for that many counts?

Critical evidence got lost.

I mean, it's f*cking ridiculous.

But at least we got
the conviction.

What's this about?

We're hoping he would shed
some light on a lead.

Do you think
this is about sex trafficking?

What do you think,
Karen?

Course it is.

Look, just...

j-just be careful.

I mean it.

I mean, he hurts women.
Badly.

What he did to the women
who worked for him, I--

Hulda. Doing some super-cop
stuff before you go?

Hmm.
Mm.

You want to go out
with a bang, right?

Be the she-ro.
Just shut up, Alexander.

I'm saying it

because no one else will.
Shut up!

You should be munching pasture
at home,

not here, stealing my case.
Hey, come on.

It's okay.

Alexander.

You gonna hit me again?

Go ahead.

Would love to see you
out of here early.

Where was the last place
Katja was seen, Alexander?

The first,
the most basic fact to establish

when looking into
a missing person...

...where were they last seen.

And you don't know.

Because you never
followed through.

She wasn't a case.
She had a name.

Katja Popova.

And you didn't do a damn thing
to help her.

And now she's dead.

f*ck off to your husband, Hulda.

If he'll have you.

You're not just a lazy cop.

You're a pathetic human being.

Thanks, Karen.
Yeah.

What are you looking at?
Hmm.

What?

She's geared up,
throws herself into a glacier?

The very day
her visa was approved.

That's when you go
k*ll yourself, right?

So, accident or foul play.

And with her connection
to sex work...

She was m*rder*d.

Yeah, I agree.

f*ck. You got to be kidding me.

One day,
that'll be funny.

Not today though.

Hey. Over here! Police!
You got a warrant?!

We just have some questions
for Aki Haraldsson!

We don't need a warrant
for that.

Yeah, you f*cking do!

He seems nice.

Yeah, lovely.
For a f*cking Neanderthal.

I guess we'll need
that warrant after all.

Do you think
Magnus can get us a warrant?

I don't know.

Maybe.

Hmm.

I just need
to grab something at home.

Then I'll drop you off.

Who's that?

I don't know.

I'll, um, wait here,
shall I?

Yeah.

Oh.

Hulda. Um...

What's going on?
Uh...

You know Kristjan and, uh...
and Emilia.

Hello.

I thought it would be nice, um,

for us to have dinner together.

♪ Everything is falling... ♪

That is nice.
Oh.

I actually brought my own guest.

Oh.
I'll go get him.

So, Lukas, uh...
Ahem.

...what brings you to Iceland?

Well, I was born here, actually.

Oh.
So I just--

I wanted to see the place
that I was from, I guess.

Okay. Heh.
Yeah.

I love Reykjavik. It's great.

Lots of corrugated iron
and stuff.

It was great
to see you last night.

We've really missed you
at the meetings.

Mm.
How?

'Scuse me?

How can you miss someone
you don't even know?

Ah.

Hulda.

They are here to help us.

Now... I thought
it would be good to, uh,

face up to our-our, uh, grief...

Would you like
some whiskey, Lukas?
Yes.

Mm-hmm. Yes, please.

It doesn't really do us good
to, uh, avoid it, does it?

By "us," you mean me?

I-I would feel the same.

I did feel the same.

And however you're feeling,
at any time, is right.

This is so painful.

I feel your loss,
and I am so sorry for you.

Yeah. And we're all here.
And I know that my words

won't help you
fix anything.

Yeah. And we-we--
But me and Kristjan--

I'll get that.

No. Uh-- Uh--
No. I'll get it.

Sorry. Mm.

Hulda.

You can't keep pushing me away
like that.

No, let-let me help you--
help you.

I got it, I got it.

I got it. I've got it.

Let me help you. Let...

Hulda.

What the f*ck?
f*cking...

What are you doing?

Leave me alone.
Enough of this, Hulda.

Move. Move. Move. I'm just...
Stop it. Stop it!

Stop it.
Move.

Hulda, stop it.

I'm sick of you

telling me how to grieve, okay?

You have your way,

and I have mine.
Just calm down.

Calm down?
Yeah.

Calm down?!
Yes.

My child is dead.

Yeah.

She's dead, you...

you stupid, arrogant...!

Jesus, Hulda!

How... could...

you... have missed this?

Dimma was dying
right in front of your eyes,

and you f*cking missed it!

What is wrong with you?!

What is wrong with you?

Jon. Jon.
Jon.

DOCTOR
Has he been taking
his medication?

Hulda. It's very important
that he takes his medicine,

his beta-blockers.

He can't miss a dose.

Okay?

His heart is very weak.

Hulda?

I'm so sorry.

Don't be.

It's okay.

I've been running away from it,
I know.

I think it's time.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Oh, hi.

Hi.

Yeah, would you
like to come in?

Sure, sure.

On your way to school?
Yeah.

We're a bit late.

What school do you go to?

Foldaskóli.
Ah.

Do you like that?

Me, neither.

Uh, would you like
some coffee or tea?

No, no, I'm good.

Nice job.

Uh, h-has something come up?

Um...

you don't need to worry anymore.

I'm closing your case.

Sorry.
Um...

...it's closed.

You won't be hearing
from us again.

You boys will be good
to your mother, right?

We will.
You will?

Mm.
Okay.

Boys are beautiful.

Hulda?

Where are you?

Hunting tennis ba*ls...

on a f*cking glacier.

How's Jon?

He-He's... he's okay.

And you? How are you?

I'm fine.

Let me know
if you find anything. Anything.

Yeah.

Turn around
and get off the property.

Listen.

Yeah, go ahead.
as*ault an officer.

That's gonna look great
on your CV.
Wait.

Sorry, boss.

She just stormed in.

f*ck off.

You must be
Aki Haraldsson.

And you must be
trespassing.

I have
a couple of questions.

What am I,
a suspect in a crime?

No. I'm just counting on you
as a good citizen.

Have you heard
about the Russian girl

who was found dead?

Yes, I did. So what?

There's been some talk

she may have been involved
in sex work.

And of course,
you think I have the details

of every wh*re
in Iceland?

A woman is dead.

I had nothing
to do with that.

Considering the way
you treat women,

I'm not so sure of that.

Aren't you the cop
whose daughter k*lled herself?

Hey! You take care
of that horse!

It's more expensive
than your f*cking mother.

Nice setup.

How many head of horses?



You've done really well
for yourself,

considering you just got out
of prison a year ago.

What would happen
if I shook your financial tree?

What would fall out,
do you think?

You shake my tree...
You claimed

on your taxes
that you only have three horses.

...I'll shake yours.
There's a whole lot of things

the state could do
with this land.

Do you miss prison?

Thank you very much
for your cooperation.

Okay.

Look.

All I know is, some refugees
get caught up in the game.

Some?
How many are we talking about?

Well, a lot of them
need money, so...

I mean, I have nothing
to do with it.
All right.

Who does?
I don't know.

Isn't that your job?

Bullshit.

If I find out
that you know more,

I'll be back.

f*ck off and stay away.

She was just here.

You fix this. Now.

What's... this?

Is...
Sk-Skates.

Skates?

And this?
Nose.

Nose. Good.

Good.

Helmet?
Helmet. Good.

Too tight?
No.

Ooh! Good job.

We're doing great.

Ah.

Come on.

Aah!

Lean.

Da.

I, uh...
I have to go to bathroom.

Okay.
I'll be right back.

Play a game?

Phone?

Be back soon.

It's going to be okay.

Help me.

I'm sorry.
Hello?

I-I didn't mean to.
I didn't mean to.

It's going to be okay.

It's going to be okay.
Katja?
