01x03 - Defend, Conserve, Protect

Post by bunniefuu »

Get out of here!

Get out of here, man!

-Take it easy.

-Get out of here, go!

Calm down.

If you just listen, I can explain.

Put the g*n down, please.

Sonja contacted me

before she went missing.

Said she feared for her safety.

Someone was after her.

You're the one

who recovered her body.

Yes.

What are you doing here?

I'm her father.

I found this map in Sonja's house,

and this location was marked.

I came here to see what was going on.

No, I saw you with the police.

How do I know you're not working with

them and you're her father?

I am not. Let me show you

the message she sent me.

Lower the g*n, please.

Hi, Hannis.

It's Sonja.

I have tried calling you

I am just trying to find out

what happened.

I have been thinking about

how to contact you for some time now.

Follow me.

It's okay.

So what can you tell me about Sonja?

How did she get involved

with you guys?

She came to us and wanted to

know more about the work we do here.

And she donated some money

and got more involved

with the mission.

Which is?

To stop the destruction

of the natural habitat.

Our ocean's ecosystem.

Sonja wanted to join us in fight

against industrial pollution,

destructive fishing, plastics

and other debris choking marine life.

She wanted to fight

for her daughter's future.

Your granddaughter.

So we take action to confront

and expose the profiteers

who try to ignore what's going on.

That's all very good.

It doesn't change the fact

that Sonja is now dead, does it?

Come here.

She'd had enough.

And now it's down to us

to make a difference.

To have her death

count for something.

That's why you are targeting Ragnar?

Yeah.

That was Sonja's idea.

And what was the plan?

We were meant to be having

this protest meeting out west.

I met with her the evening before

and she told me she was planning

on breaking in somewhere

to find evidence she needed

for that story she was working on

with that guy from KVF.

The guy who ended up in the hospital.

She tried to get me involved.

But we had enough on our plate

as it was, so

I turned her down.

That's why I thought she didn't show

up to the protest meeting that night.

I don't know why the police and media

keep saying they found her car there.

She wasn't there.

I didn't see her there.

And where was that meeting?

Here, I'll show you.

Right here.

This is where we held the meeting,

but there is no way she died there.

Why?

Well, it's not very likely.

If she died here, then her body

wouldn't have turned up in Tórshavn.

The tide couldn't have been a factor?

No, because then her body would

have to drift around this island.

Down this way through three fjords

and back towards the beach

during the whale hunt.

Wherever she died,

I don't think it was on this island.

You said she wanted

to break in somewhere?

Yeah, I think you should ask

her friend Jenny about that.

Sonja was going to get her help

to do it.

If Hannis has been to see Kirstin,

maybe he broke into Sonja's house.

Yeah, I will have Gísli

go talk to Sonja's neighbors again.

We have to work fast, we can

hold Bergur only a couple more hours.

Karla, Bergur just called a lawyer.

-When?

-Just now, a little while ago.

-Here, we might have found something.

-What is this?

It's not 100% yet, but it looks like

Páll's car might have been hacked.

How?

We noticed some irregularities

in the car's electronic control unit.

-Everything can be hacked these days.

-What exactly have you found?

Looks like car's monitoring system

and adaptive cruise control

were hacked.

And the automatic braking system

was disabled.

That could've been used

to force the car's acceleration.

Okay.

That explains why he appears to

suddenly speed up before the crash.

-Could Bergur have hacked it?

-We are trying to find out.

We are also checking

if Sonja's car was hacked.

-Okay, do we have anything else?

-Yes.

Bergur spent a few months in

Mjørkadalur prison on drug charges.

He spent some time in isolation,

which he doesn't cope with too well.

There's a lot. A long wrap sheet.

Theft, vandalism, break-in, arson

All before he gets into

Ragnar's rehabilitation program.

I was thinking,

we could use this to

-Put some pressure on him.

-Good, Gísli.

Next time, just give me summary.

What is this, 1500 pages?

At least 2000.

Excuse me.

Hi, I am here to see Jenny.

She's not here, I think

she's teaching at Glasir today.

-Glasir?

-The college.

Has something happened?

There was a guy from Sound Salmon

asking for her as well.

Who?

I didn't catch the name.

He just left.

-That guy?

-Yes.

Thanks.

Why am I still under suspicion?

For what?

You tried to evade our interview,

so we had to arrest you.

That is the reason

we are still sitting here.

An innocent person

usually doesn't run.

I am playing along here.

But I don't know what to tell you

that I haven't told you

100 times already.

Why did you run?

If you have nothing to hide,

just answer the question.

Maybe you get to leave.

You worked on two cars

that now play a central part

in the investigation

into a possible attempted m*rder.

And a suspicious death.

I don't know what happened to Sonja.

And I have nothing to do with it.

Whoever messed with her car

must've done it

before she brought it to the garage.

She came in saying someone had messed

with her car, loosened the bolts

I looked into it.

She was right.

When was this?

When did she bring in her car?

I don't know.

About two weeks ago, I think.

We also know Páll's car was hacked.

Do you know anything about that?

I'm not answering any more questions,

until I have spoken to my lawyer.

Excuse me, I'm looking for

the natural science lab?

It's on the sixth floor,

just up there.

Thanks.

Hi. I'm looking for Jenny.

Is she here?

Jenny called in sick today.

Do you know where she lives?

Yes, she lives out on Reyni,

but who are you?

I am working on some things

with Jenny,

I need to ask her something.

I've tried calling

but there's no answer.

Like I said she's not here today,

but maybe I can help you?

No, that's okay, thanks.

-I'm looking for Jenny. Is she here?

-No, she went to work early.

They said she called in sick.

Strange. It doesn't sound like her.

She never calls in sick.

Do you know

where she might have gone?

Usually, I'd guess

somewhere with Sonja

But

I don't know.

She travels all over the country

for work, so it could be anywhere.

Can you tell her I'm looking for her?

It's important.

My name is Hannis Martinsson.

Yes, okay.

Thank you.

1500 pages of reports about you

from the social authorities.

Time at various institutions,

moving between foster homes.

A lot of taxpayers' money

has been spent on you.

It must have been hard for you.

I know all about that.

I've had a hard time myself.

But then I got an education.

I became a police officer.

You have had a lot of opportunities

to make a better life for yourself.

You were previously caught

for possession of drugs.

You go to jail, get out, get into

Ragnar's rehabilitation program.

Why haven't you gotten smarter?

Why do you think

you're still sitting here?

We have strong evidence

connecting you to the case.

If you don't speak now,

it will be even worse for you,

when you stand in front of a judge.

I want to speak to my client alone.

I need to talk to you, now.

How the hell can he afford

someone like that?

I don't know,

but we can't deny him a lawyer.

I know Bergur is hiding something.

See if you can find anything else to

get us a warrant.

Yes.

I now have that lawyer

breathing down my neck.

Why is Bergur still interrogated?

We still have him for a few hours.

You have now had him

more than 48 hours in custody.

We cannot keep him more than 72 hours

without charging him or throwing him

in prison with a sentence.

-I know, but we suspect him of

-To have a suspicion is fine.

What do we actually have

to charge him with?

We just need a little more time.

Our time is up.

-Are you ready?

-Ready?

For the press conference.

Did you prepare?

I never got anything from you.

Of course, I'm ready.

Good, they'll be here any minute.

Sonja's death was caused by drowning.

There is nothing suggesting her death

was caused by a criminal act.

There is nothing to indicate

her death was anything other

than a tragic accident.

Sonja's death

was due to

a tragic accident.

I told them to wait

another 5 minutes.

Thank you.

Sonja's death was caused

by a tragic accident.

Welcome to our press conference.

Today, I will give you a short update

on the case of Sonja á Heyggi.

You can ask

a few questions afterwards,

but I cannot talk about any specific

details of our investigation.

Due to the mysterious circumstances

surrounding the disappearance

and the discovery of the dead body,

we have performed an autopsy.

The Faroese chief medical officer

and a Danish police pathologist

concluded that the cause of death

was drowning.

Both confirmed that the time of death

was up to 24 hours

before the body was found.

Based on the injuries

on Sonja's body,

we find it likely that she fell

from a great height,

has been injured in the fall

and then drowned.

We cannot rule out

a possible suicide.

Or a tragic accident.

But we are still following up

on all potential leads in the case.

That is all the information

I can give you today. Any questions?

Yes, you up front.

What is the other evidence

you base this evaluation on?

We have found the car Sonja drove

as well as her mobile phone

and a piece of clothing near where

a G.O.S. protest meeting was held

on the night of Sonja's

disappearance.

She was to give a speech there.

It gives us some knowledge

of her last movements.

But the body was found in Sandagerð.

Yes.

Like I said, it is still unclear

where Sonja fell and drowned.

Anna, yes.

Sources say you've had a suspect in

custody who has since been released.

-Is this something you can confirm?

-Yes, I can confirm that.

Can you say anything else about that?

I cannot answer questions about

the specifics of our investigation.

Yes?

Why haven't you asked

the Danish police for help yet?

We work with the Danish police,

but there are things

we know a bit more about here.

Of course, we co-operate

with our friends on the "flat land."

Good, thank you for today.

What evidence do you have

that Sonja's death was not a m*rder?

And that she might've

committed suicide?

It is known

that she received threats.

We are aware of the debate that this

case has created on social media

and of the uncertainty it has caused

in our small community,

but I can once more

make it very clear

that the police has not found

any clear evidence

to indicate that Sonja's death

was caused by

a criminal action.

We find it very likely that Sonja's

death was a tragic accident.

And that is all for today, thank you.

-You are wrong.

-Out of my way.

Sonja was afraid of someone.

The evidence speaks for itself.

Unlike you journalists,

the police can't just invent a story

that fits our agenda.

Someone was after her.

-This is Hannis.

-Hi Hannis, this is Kirstin.

Hi.

How is he?

I don't know really. He was fine

when he woke up.

I told him everything

that's happened.

-He wanted to talk to the police.

-About what?

He said it wasn't an accident.

Then when the police showed up,

he was completely different.

He didn't want to talk.

Then I told him about you.

Does he know about Sonja?

No, I don't want to stress him more

right now.

Hi sweetheart, Hannis is here.

Hannis?

Hannis Martinsson.

I'm a journalist.

Páll, he told me he knows you.

What do you want?

Sonja contacted me.

She said you were working together

to expose Ragnar and his companies,

some corruption

I'm not working on anything.

I am here to help you, Páll.

What happened to you

and Sonja's death are connected.

-Sonja is dead?

-Hey, no

-Is Sonja dead?

-We're not talking about this now.

Get out.

-Do you know where Arni is?

-Out!

Do you know where Arni is?

Wait!

What happened to Sonja?

She drowned.

Washed up on the beach.

That's the official story.

He left the country.

He said he wanted to protect

his family.

Do you know where he is now?

In Iceland.

-Do you know where exactly?

-No.

Hey, what are you doing here?

Hannis?

Rannvá?

-It's been a long time.

-You can say that again.

-You work here now?

-I am the chief medical officer.

So you examined Sonja's body?

-Sonja á Heyggi?

-Yes.

Yes, I performed the initial external

examination of the body. Why?

Can I see the autopsy report?

I can't show you any details,

those are confidential.

I can only tell you what the police

has made public.

The cause of death was drowning.

Sonja is my daughter.

Yeah

I didn't see

any biological father registered.

I know, it is news to me too.

I have only known for about a week.

Is it possible to

You need to bring a confirmation

from her mother.

And her permission

to see the details of the autopsy.

This is Hannis. Where are you?

I'll meet you there.

So do you believe

what the police is now saying?

Was this really just an accident?

Yes, I think we need to trust

that the police does have all

the evidence to back up their claims.

And I think we need to bear in mind

that it's not uncommon

that people fall down

the mountains in the Faroes.

It is not unheard of.

What do you want?

I need to see

Sonja's autopsy report.

I think the police is withholding

information about her death.

-Why would they do that?

-I don't know.

-Something just doesn't add up.

-She drowned.

That's what the police said.

And the chief medical officer.

And the Danish pathologist.

I know.

I can't deal with this.

Can't you let it rest?

Can you just do me that favor?

Just so I can get it clarified?

Don't you want to know what happened?

She drowned, Hannis.

She is also my daughter.

Gísli!

-Yes?

-What did Sonja's neighbors say?

You went to interview

Sonja's neighbors, right?

-Oh no.

-Why not?

I've been following up on calls we're

getting after Ragnar's reward offer.

What do you mean?

No one has had time for anything

other than answering the phone today.

Didn't Anita ask you to go talk

to Sonja's neighbors?

Yes, but I just thought

to get all this sorted first.

Gísli, you do what I tell you.

That is your job. Okay?

You'll just have to let those phones

keep ringing.

Yes, of course. Sorry.

-Hi.

-Hi.

-Is everything okay?

-Yeah, sure.

When is it you're going

on maternity leave?

In about a month, why?

No, I'm just asking.

Are you worried about working alone

with Karla?

No.

-Yes, you are.

-Okay, maybe just a little.

-It will be fine, Gísli.

-Yeah

Ragnar! Hold on!

What are you doing here?

Why are you interfering

with my investigation?

Excuse me?

We're flooded with calls from locals

with all kinds of information

we have to follow up on.

It takes up all our time

and our resources.

Next time you want to help,

you come to me first.

This is my investigation, not yours.

What is going on here?

We have leads we want to investigate,

but we can't because Gisli and Anita

are on the phone all day.

All because you let Ragnar

run around, playing the holy man.

This isn't a sheep that was run over,

or a drunk sailing out into the fog,

but our biggest case ever

on the Faroe Islands.

It's your responsibility that I have

a department I can run efficiently.

Thank you for today.

Take the rest of the day off.

Are you alright, dear?

Yes, I'm fine.

Magga has been trying to reach you.

She says you're not answering.

I am getting Gunnar.

He needs to go to the fitting.

Let me do it.

I know better than you

how it's supposed to fit.

I just need a few minutes.

Right, Karla?

Karla?

Sorry

I remember

when we fitted your clothes.

That's when you became one of us.

I couldn't believe it.

When I was waiting in church,

I looked fantastic in your clothes.

This pattern is so beautiful.

Yes, really beautiful, huh?

If you take good care

of your Faroese suit,

it will last your whole life,

longer even.

You can use it for so much more

than a graduation.

You can wear it for Ólavsøka,

go to Faroese dances,

wear it as you stand as godfather

in church, go to weddings.

There is so much you can use it for.

Maybe you want to get married in it.

You just need to be careful

not to get a fatty winter tire

around your waist before then.

You know,

you can always talk to me

You can tell me everything, right?

Anything.

I will always be there for you.

I hope you know that. No matter what.

Okay.

Shall we go?

Wait.

How did you know Sonja?

-I met her a few times.

-When?

I don't know.

She had a presentation at Glasir.

I met her on a night out.

We spoke about Guardians of the Sea.

-Why?

-Why?

Because it's interesting.

She was interesting.

Did she want you to become

a member of the Guardians?

She tried.

-And?

-I said no.

They always cause you trouble, so

What is this?

I don't know.

I've never seen it before.

I found it in your jacket.

-My jacket?

-Yes.

It's not mine.

-I've never seen it before.

-Not on Sonja either?

-Is that Sonja's?

-Yes.

-I don't know why it's in my jacket.

-Stop lying.

-Why are you lying to me?

-I don't know how it ended up there.

-I am not lying!

-Don't lie to me!

Why are you always

going through my things?

Why can't you leave my things alone?

Have you thought about

what you're going to do now?

Not at all.

I mean

I'm glad I have Turið

and that I can take care of her.

But I also worry about her.

You are welcome to move in here

for the time being.

Move in here?

As guests.

I meant what I said.

You were there for me.

When Guðrun died.

Now, I can be here for you.

I think it would be best for you

and Turið, that you feel safe.

That you don't lose

your everyday lives.

Turið can continue as normal

in school.

With her friends.

And there will be the two of us

to support her emotionally

and if she needs to let off

some steam.

I am

I don't know.

I appreciate the offer.

It's not that

I won't take no for an answer.

What are you doing here?

I just came by for a quick chat.

I have an update for you.

Okay.

Dinner's almost ready, I invited her

but she said she wasn't hungry.

I already ate three dinners today.

But this will only take five minutes.

I know you're not happy about

the calls we are receiving now after

Ragnar offered that reward,

but today I got a tip about Bergur.

A mother called, claiming that Bergur

sold drugs to two young girls.

Teenagers.

They both ended up in the hospital.

They are fine now.

They confirmed it.

They got the drugs from Bergur.

Then we have enough for a new arrest.

And search warrant.

Yes.

We'll get access to Gunnar's phone,

residence, bank information

Everything.

You mean Bergur's.

-What did I say?

-You said Gunnar.

Sorry, of course. Bergur.

Is everything okay?

Yes, everything's fine.

I must apologize for my little

outburst towards Ragnar

earlier today.

Between the two of us,

Óðin is in his pocket.

I can't take it.

But now, we can move on Bergur

and maybe solve the case.

-That was good, Anita.

-Yes

Hannis. I got your message.

I've tried to remember

everything Sonja told me.

She got me to help her.

-To break into Ragnar's companies.

-Yes.

She asked about all kinds of things.

Security cameras, alarm systems

She said she wanted to investigate

the environmental impact

of Ragnar's companies.

I never thought

it would come to this.

Stewart must have gotten her

to take it one step further.

-Stewart said it was Sonja's idea.

-He says a lot.

I remember she told me about a test

they had planned together.

Something they could try out here,

and then repeat elsewhere.

Norway, Iceland

Create an environmental scandal.

Which they afterwards could blame

on the whole fishing industry?

Was that the idea?

Where and when was the last time

you saw Sonja?

In Ragnar's main office building.

I was showing her the place.

-The main office? Where is that?

-They have a building by Argir.

It's the main office

for all his companies.

Iktus, Sound Salmon, Norðskip.

And the police

don't know anything about this?

No.

I was afraid.

That Ragnar would find out.

Aurora called me.

The autopsy report

The latest results from Denmark

are also in there.

-Thank you.

-Good night.

-What's that?

-Sonja's autopsy report.

Is everything okay

between the two of you?

Yes, everything's fine.

Nice of you to cook dinner.

Gunnar, did you tell your mother

about your new job?

I was offered a job.

Where?

Norðskip.

-You're going out sailing?

-Yes.

A real man, making his own money now.

Ragnar í Rong isn't the worst role

model when it comes to making money.

So that's the plan.

Karla.

Karla, look at me.

Karla, look at me.

What is going on here?

No, it's probably Anita who's back.

What are you doing here?

Why are you withholding information

about Sonja's death?

Wounds did not bleed or bruise

due to lack of blood circulation.

The severe injuries to her head

and body happened after her death.

It's likely she was

thrown off a cliff after her death.

You didn't mention that

to the press?

Where did you get that?

-I am her father!

-I know this is personal for you.

We are doing everything we can

Sonja didn't trust the police.

I understand why.

You won't get away with this!
