02x06 - Dancing Barefoot

[bunniefuu]

I was thinking about those old cases.

Foster homes and the children
who were sent there.

Tomas’ grandma came here yesterday

asking about the statute of limitations
for sexual crimes.

Her mental health fluctuates,
she tried to take her own life last year.

This is Elin.

Anita looks like her.

- Mum, do you want me here?
- Yes, I do.

Okay, then you can show it.

This is Una, right?

Happy birthday, dear Una...

- And Halla.
- Yes.

- Salomon, do we have to discuss the party?
- I’m not going.

- Mum...
- Mum what?

I dreamt of having a mother like yours.

You don’t know anything
about my mother.

She lost her hair while she was pregnant.

Her hair started falling out.

She had bald spots.

This is probably Ragnheidur.

Yes, that’s probably her.

You were both at
Gullsondum, right?

What’s that got to
do with Helena’s death?

This would be Audur.

You watched David
drag Helena into the shed

and you did nothing.

Audur?

You can leave now.
Or you can spend the night.

And this is Hildur.

- Hildur Osk?
- Yes.

She always wanted us all to get together.
She said we should “hand back the shame”.

- Hand the shame back?
- It’s a kind of slogan.

I know what it means.

How about this one?
Could this be Helena?

Maybe.

I went to David’s.

You shouldn’t have gone there.

I don’t care, I just told him he should
leave or we’d speak to the police.

There are lacerations on her neck.

DNA on the air bag is male.

I’m thinking of asking David to come in,
get his DNA sample.

The sample on the airbag matches David.


Jesus Christ.

The crimes were committed at Gullsondum.
The home run by Anita’s grandmother.

Hello.

Hi, honey. I’m upstairs.

She fell down the stairs.
I don’t know how long she was there.

She was amazing.

It’s hard enough to raise your own kids,
but to do it blind with orphans...

She wasn’t alone.
David did everything for her.

Salomon.

David.

- I’m Salomon’s father.
- Halla was just a child.

It was different back then.

- Do you think Grandma knew?
- No. Helga was a good woman.

She wasn’t stupid.

After she fell and lost her sight
she was blind and single.

Don’t you forget that.

I hate you.

My dear Audur, let’s be clear.
I didn’t make you do anything.

- You did.
- No, you did it because you wanted to.

You don't have to do anything.
I’ll take care of this.

We’re interviewing
Helena’s friends tomorrow morning.

- The police suspect all of you.
- Why would the police suspect us?

Because you had a reason to k*ll him.

Maybe it's time you knew the truth.

I always suspected this was happening.

I should have stopped him earlier.

But he was my child.

And Halla was already pregnant.

When was the last time you menstruated?

Sometime in April.

So it’s been 14 to 16 weeks at least.

- Does that change anything?
- Yes, it does.

What if we do it now?

Halla, my dear. You can get dressed.

David, come with me.

The day the picture was taken

was supposed to be a good day for them.

A new girl was about to arrive.

Well, Helena. We’re almost there.

You’ll love staying at Gullsondum.

Are there kids my age there?

Yes, a lot.

- Who is it?
- It’s Elin.

- Hi, why is the door locked?
- No reason.

The photographer is here.
I think he’s setting up.

Aren’t you excited?

Yeah, sure.

Is everything all right?

Why are we taking this photo?

I have no idea.
Mum will probably tell us later.

Halla isn’t back yet?

Nope.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Ragnheidur.

- What?
- He’s kind of cute.

- Who?
- The photographer.

Audur.

What?
It’s okay to have a little crush.

You’re not going to wear that, are you?

Something wrong

No, it’s just...
I can lend you something nicer?

No, it’s the first photo taken of me.
I’m going to wear my own clothes.

Okay.

Can I have one?

Have you started smoking?

Ha, ha. Give me one.

Did David make you
move out of the room downstairs?

What? No, why?

There’s a new girl coming.

So?

You’ll move into Hildur’s room.

Why?

The new girl always gets that room.

That’s bullshit.

- You can’t wear that.
- That’s not up to you.

I have a dress that hides the bump.

But everybody will find out anyway.

No, they won’t.

- You heard the doctor. It’s too late.
- I’ll talk to him again.

- What did the doctor say?
- He won’t do it.

What?

It can’t be terminated.
I’m too far along.

I’m glad you don’t have to do it.

Can I talk to my sister alone?

Yeah. Of course.

- Can you close the door?
- Yes.

- Have you packed?
- Yes.

Who’s smoking?

- Who do you think?
- RagnheiSur?

- Hi.
- Hi.

- My name is Elin.
- Helena.

- What do you think?
- It’s... all right.

- Do you have any luggage?
- One bag.

I’ll get it for you.

- Hello, Helga.
- Hello.

- Should I show you the house?
- That would be nice.

This is Mum.

- Hello.
- Hi, I’m Helena.

Welcome.
Elin will show you your room.

Okay. Thanks.

Well, should we finish the paperwork?

Yes, let’s do that.

We spoke with their uncle.
He can take them if this doesn’t work out.

But he already has five children.

The girls have blossomed
in your care, Helga.

Yes. It’s lovely to hear that.

And in light of the upcoming changes,
we’d like to give it a go.

It will be completely different now.

How did David take it?

I’ll tell him tonight.

What? You haven’t told him?

I’m going to tell him tonight.

I’m so excited for the photoshoot.

- Right. Yeah, me too.
- Girls, the new girl is here.

- Hi. Hildur Osk.
- Helena.

- Una.
- Halla.

- What room is yours?
- Next to the stairs.

Audur emptied the
room downstairs for her.

That was unnecessary.

I’m Ragnheidur.

Hildur’s moving up
so you’ll have her room.

- That’s fine.
- No, Audur will go there.

- Helena? There she is. Hi.

David. Come here, we’re huggers.

- How are you?
- Good.

It must be strange
to walk straight into a photo sh**t.

- Yes, but it’s exciting.
- Absolutely.

What’s the occasion?

I’m not sure. But it’s great to have you.

I’ll show you your room later.

- Elin already did.
- Really?

Yes, she gets the bed next to the stairs.

That’s not a room, Elin.
There’s an empty room downstairs.

All the girls are upstairs.

She just got here.
We’ll give her privacy.

It’s cold downstairs.

- There’s a radiator.
- It’s okay.

- Let her stay upstairs.
- I don’t care where I sleep.

Right. Relax and let her choose.

A private room downstairs
or a bed in the hallway?

I’d much rather have a room.

Exactly. I’d choose that too.
You can be alone.

Wonderful. Then it’s decided.
Petur, are we ready?

- Yes.
- You’re quick.

Best in the business.
Girls, let’s go over to the tree.

Everybody will be in this picture.
I’ll go and get Mum, back in a sec.

Mum!

Okay, girls, that’s great.
Let me see.

Hi. Could you swap places?
The blonde and... you here.

Yes, this is great. Let me see.

Look at me.
Let’s all pretend to have fun.

It’s not hard to pretend.

Right you are.
Okay, three, two, one, smile.

- This is great, my dears. Petur?
- Yes.

- Can you take an extra photo?
- No problem.

I want to ask Elin, David,
Una and Halla to pose.

What? Why?

We’re going to celebrate
a big change in our life.

In our life?

I’ve signed the papers
to adopt you and your sister.

You don’t have to go
back to the Westfjords.

That’s great news.

Come now, all the siblings together.

Are we supposed to go?

Yes, just the sisters.

David, go and join the picture.

- Why didn’t you tell me?
- Go. Now.

Okay. No one’s smiling in this one?

- Come on, kids, smile.
- Just take the damn picture.

Okay. One, two and smile.

Mum. Mum, wait.

Did you see his face
when Helga told him?

No.

- He obviously didn’t know anything.
- Who cares?

- Something’s about to happen.
- Like what?

Have you noticed how strange
the old woman’s been acting?

- In what way?
- She’s ignoring him.

Do you think she knows?

There’s obviously something going on.

Are they arguing

Looks like it.
I’m going to listen.

Stop it, Ragnheidur.

Tell me.

The county office contacted me. Dr
Kristleifur filed a complaint against us.

What kind of complaint?

We’ll talk about it tonight.

Let me go!

- Let me go!
- I’ll lock you in the shed.

- Please, Mum, don’t!
- David, stop this!

Come here.

Get in.

Mum!

Let you out later.

Open the door!

Mum!

I promise to be good.

Please!

Open the door!

Mum!

- Are you changing rooms?
- Yes.

- Why don’t you stay here?
- I haven’t had my own room for ages.

I’ll help you unpack.

Hi. Long time no see. Kidding.

Is that your only bag?

- Yes.
- You re-packed quickly!

Great help, Hildur.
I’ll take it. Follow me.

Helena, you can come back up
if you don’t like it downstairs.

Okay.

Here you are.

- Yeah.
- Not bad. What do you think?

It’s not as big as I expected.

No, that’s true.
But you can lock the door.

- Yes.
- That’s a plus.

- It’s not bad.
- No. Get settled.

I think the girls are preparing dinner.
You can check on them.

- Okay, I will.
- All right.

This doesn’t change anything.
We leave tonight.

Why didn’t Helga tell us earlier?

I don’t know.

- Are you all packed?
- No, I’ll do it...

- I’ll do it later.
- And then what?

We go to our uncle’s.

Salomon? Have you spoken to him?

No, but he was always kind to us
when we were young.

He’ll welcome us.

- Hopefully.
- Hopefully what?

Just a sisterly secret.

Okay, tell me then.

We’re kind of sisters.

Yes...

Hi. Where am I supposed to sit?

- There.
- Okay. What’s for dinner?

Rice pudding.

It’s been so long since I had rice pudding.

Don’t let me disturb you.

Close the door.

What’s going on? What was the complaint?

What did Kristleifur say?

I don’t know, exactly.

But these “visits” will stop from now on.

Yes. I agree.

We should forbid them from dances,
there’s always boys there...

Don’t try to bullshit me.

I know it’s you.

What?

I’ve suspected it for too long.

Four ab*rtion in three years.

- It stops now.
- Mum! It’s not me.

I was trying to help.
If you saw how they behave...

Even though I can’t see,
I still notice things.

I know why Una got sick

and I know Halla is pregnant.

Halla and Una will live here

and take care of the home alongside Elin.

You have a few days
to decide where to go.

But I want you gone.
I don’t want you here anymore.

What about me?

You’ll figure it out.
Look at it as an opportunity.

An opportunity? To do what?
I don’t want to go.

If you go now, we will never
mention this again, I promise.

And neither will they.

Mum.

Mum, I’m begging you...

Don’t.

Don’t.

I’m doing this for you as much as for them.

Go as far away as you can
and don’t come back.

Not while I’m alive.

I know why you’re doing this.

But we’re not going to discuss that?

Are we?

You’re no better than me.

Damn it.

- There’s a dance next Friday!
- Yeah!

- I heard Grylurnar were playing.
- Seriously?

- I’ve never been to a country dance.
- It’s fun!

- There’ll be cute guys too.
- What about Ragnar?

He’s old news.
Saw him with Una the other day.

- Something smells good.
- Yes, everything’s ready.

Is David going to eat?

Let’s leave him alone.
Is the ashtray here?

Yes, in it’s place.

Now, let’s enjoy the evening.

And with good reason.

To the three sisters and Helena.

- Welcome to Gullsondum.
- Welcome.

Thank you.
I’m so grateful to be here.

That’s nice to hear.

Things will be different from now on.

David is moving away.

He’s a grown man
ready to live his own life.

So my girls and I
will take care of the home.

- He’s moving?
- Yes.

Audur, where are you going

Leave her alone.

So, may I serve dinner?

- Did you remember the salt?
- Yes.

Who is it?

What are you doing here?

- Are you leaving?
- What?

Your mum said you were leaving.

She did?

Yes. Where are you going

None of your business.

- Take me with you.
- No.

- You have to.
- Audur.

- I can’t be here without you.
- I can’t take you with me.

But we love each other.

You don’t know what love is.

Do. I’m coming with you.

I love you.

David, please.

Take me with you.

I can’t be here without you.
I’ll do anything.

Jerk me off.

Sure...

Put it in your mouth.

Your mouth.

Were they all happy
when they heard I was leaving?

Audur?

- They didn’t say anything.
- Bullshit.

Who cares?

We’re leaving.

Go inside.

- What?
- Audur, you’re only fourteen.

So? What does that matter?

Why does the new girl
get the room downstairs?

- The new girl?
- Are you replacing me?

- Don’t be childish.
- Childish?

- Don’t act like a child.
- Am I childish?

- Go and join them inside.
- She will never love you like I do.

- I can’t take you with me.
- You can.

- No, I can’t.
- David, cut it out.

- Go inside.
- Are you seriously replacing me?

- I don’t want you here.
- David, stop it.

Go inside. Be with the girls.
I don’t want you in here.

David, can we just talk?

- Audur, not now.
- I... What? David?

Go upstairs to your room.

- What’s going on?
- Give me a minute.

- Please, talk to me...
- Shut up, Audur!

Stop this damn nonsense.

Finish tidying up. Go up to your room.

- Can we talk?
- Stop it. Go to your room.

- Calm down so we can talk.
- David.

Mum, let them finish the dishes.
Go to your room.

- That’s not your call.
- It is. Go to your room.

- I’m not going to my room.
- I can’t deal with this. Go, now.

- David!
- David, let her go!

Let me go.

- Get off me. Get off.
- Let her go.

David.

Stop it. Stop.

- Give me the key.
- Open the door.

- Give me the key. Open the door.
- In a bit. Finish cleaning.

- David.
- I’ll open it soon. Go!

- Open the door!
- Go.

Open it.

Open the door.

David.

Open the door!

Serve me dinner.

- I think I want to go back upstairs.
- Of course.

No. She’ll go to her room.

David, relax. You can let her...

She’ll go to her room.

Come on, Helena.
Let’s go to your room.

David.

David.

Open the door.

Don’t do anything stupid.

Please open the door.

David.

Don’t leave.

- What’s going on? Talk to me.
- Nothing.

- What?
- Does your mum know I’m pregnant?

- Yes, didn’t you tell her?
- No.

- Oh, who then?
- So she knows.

Yes.

David, I will have this child
and you won’t come near her.

You’ll never talk to her or meet her.
She will never know you.

You are not to come near her.

- There’s no other key?
- No.

Can we break down the door?

No, don’t do that.

Just go to your rooms
and lock the doors.

No, Mum.
We can’t leave you like this.

My darling, don’t worry.
He’ll open the door.

Helga.

- Yes, honey.
- Thank you.

It had to be done.

You have to talk to me.

- Please. What happened?
- You don’t understand.

Why wouldn’t I?
You think the creep left me alone?

- He isn’t a creep.
- What?

- This is different.
- How?

It doesn’t matter.

Cut the crap.
We all know you’re in love with him.

You’re too childish to understand.

- Have you lost your mind?
- No. He loves me.

- Does he tell you that?
- He doesn’t need to. I know.

He does the same thing to all of us.

- No, I’m different.
- No, Audur, you’re not.

Dear Lord.

I ask you to watch over Helena,
our new friend.

I ask you to watch over
Halla and her child.

Make sure it is a healthy,
beautiful and good child.

I ask you watch over David too.

Make sure he's better in the future.

- Come with me.
- Where?

I have to show you something.

- What?
- Come, you’ll see.

- No. I don’t want to.
- Yes, come here. It won’t take long.

David.

David, stop it. Leave me alone.

I don’t want to go with you.

Relax.

- Stop it, David!
- It won’t take long.

Leave me alone. I don’t want...

Stop it. Ragnheidur, help me.

- You have to see it.
- Leave me alone, David.

Can we do this another time?
I just want to sleep.

No, I have to show you now.

- Audur? Where are you going?
- I have to go with him.

No, Audur. Stop it. It’s over.

You don’t have to do this anymore.

Come on. Let’s go inside.

Come.

- David, stop.
- Be quiet.

- Stop, I don’t want to.
- Be quiet.

He left that night

and never came back.

I tried contacting him a few times.

I even sent him photos of you.

But he never replied.

Maybe it was all my fault.

It wasn’t easy after David’s dad left us.

There’s so much
I would have done differently.

I hope you can forgive me, my dear Salomon.

Why didn’t anyone tell me he was my dad?

Your mum didn’t want anyone to.

Forgive me.

What did he mean by
you were no better than him?

Well...

it was a different time.

And he was a very difficult child.

And sometimes I just couldn’t handle it.

And I locked him in the shed.

Sometimes for too long.

You’re no better than him.

I’m sorry, Salomon.

Forgive me.

No!
