"Hello!" "Are you alright?" "What do you mean?" " I saw the Moon of Urd." "What?" "Hi!" "I'll let you in." "No!" "I'm going fishing." "I was just about to go." "I haven't got anyone else." "This is an accident!" "Why isn't the local police taking care of it?" "There is more to it." "Dynamite and a detonator were stolen." "The District Commissioner Contacted the National Commissioner." "The Intelligence Service says there are protesters in the area." "I know these people." "I was there when I was a kid." "That should speed things up." "I need someone experienced." "What about Gudjon?" " He's in Florida." "This is just to calm them down." "They've got a rookie on the case, fresh out of the FBI Academy." "Hi no, I can't do it this weekend." "A case was dropped on me." "Cocoa puffs?" "Yeah, alright." "I'll pick her up at eight." "Bye." "Have you talked to the psychologist?" "No." "Maybe you should do that." " I'm okay." "I'm fine." "Don't cut yourself off." "Great?" "That sounds good." "Alright?" "Goodbye." "So, Inga." "What is it?" "I am the Chief Inspector while Gudjon is on holiday, right?" "Absolutely!" "So why am I not trusted to investigate this case?" "A lot of dynamite was stolen." "It went higher up the chain." "They sent an experienced detective to back you up." "An experienced detective?" "Not to take charge, just to help you out." "A forensic team as well." "Everything is by the book." "And when was I gonna be told?" " I thought you already had." "No!" "Good morning." " Helgi." "I'm very sorry we have to meet under these circumstances but I was asked to assist with the investigation." "Could we talk out in the hallway?" "No." "We have no idea what Snorri was doing there." "I mean, no one was working." "They were off for the weekend." "I just don't understand this." "This was sabotage." "I suppose they'll blow us up now." "Well, I'm not sure the cliff should have been disturbed." "It's a sacred place." " Don't start with that nonsense." "It's not the first time something's happened." "What do you mean?" "We bought a prize-winning mare this spring." "It died in the field the day after they started working on the cliff." "Veigar got a metal splinter in his hand and it just won't heal." "And the machines are always breaking down." "It was sabotage, nothing else." "Have you had any problems with the digger?" "No." "It has just been serviced." "Let's be clear on that." "Lauga called and woke me up." "She saw a light above our house." "The Moon of Urd, or something..." "I don't know exactly what that is." "But what should one believe?" "There are no explanations." "There is always an explanation." "Hi." " Hi." "Weren't you supposed to be fishing?" "Don't mention it." "I'm going to the cinema tonight at eight." "Fancy it?" "Hello!" "Inga." "Helgi." "Should we go over this?" " Yes, I'll talk to you later." "All the dynamite in this container was stolen." "I don't know the exact amount, but it was at least one full box ...over 25 kilos." "The detonation device was kept here and it's gone as well." "No witnesses have come forward yet except the mother of the victim." "She was the first one to arrive and called 112 from the car phone." "I have asked for the printout from the phone company." "It was just lucky that they hadn't brought all the explosives yet." "Are they blowing up the cliff?" " Yes." "They are putting up a mast on the edge." "They have to blow up the rock to create the foundation." "No one knows what he was doing here in the middle of the night." "Snorri." " What?" "His name is Snorri" "Yes." "Snorri is not suspected of being intoxicated." "His mother, Eydis, says she only touched the mobile phone." "When she walks to the car it is open and the engine running." "Isn't it?" " Yes." "No one here but she sees a man on a bicycle further down the road." "Yes." "We haven't found him yet." "We haven't found him." "She came here because Lauga said she saw the Moon of Urd." "The what?" "Moon of Urd." "An electrical phenomenon." "Like a ball of lighting..." "An omen of death." "Excuse me." "Have you started your own investigation?" "No, I just visited the hospital to speak to his parents... and now I'm updating you." "Just to make it clear, I'm leading this investigation." "That's clear." "You're just here to give advice." "Yes." "That's clear." " Okay." "This is were he went off the cliff." "It's a 19 meter fall." "Helgi." "We have combed the area and this is all we found." "It was in the shovel path, so it was dropped after the accident." "It could be from this morning." "There were a lot of people here." "No." "There were no footprints." "And the earth under it was dry so it must have been there when it rained last night." "I'll take it." "Thank you." " Inga's in charge." "The lock's been forced with a crowbar or something." "I'll email you a report tonight." " Okay." "Thank you." "There are three possible scenarios." "Snorri surprised the burglar" "The burglar knocked him out and staged the accident." "Which is actually rather far-fetched." "Or, a complicated suicide attempt." "The dynamite is possibly unrelated." "Or, what I think is most likely, a failed insurance fraud." "And then the dynamite was taken to mislead us." "I'm assuming that Snorri is in favour of this project?" "Yes." "He and his father Veigar are contractors on the job." "Exactly." "But there was someone else who also bid on the job." "Yes." "Larus." "But he never had a chance." "Veigar has been doing all the work for the road authorities." "Yes." "Always." "His mum stepped into the truck and made a call from the mobile." "There is oil in this, not engine oil." "You should check it out." "Yes!" "Or maybe you should do it." "Yes, I could do it too." "Hi again." "We wanted to have a word." "You need a whole committee?" "Come inside." "Do you recognise this lighter?" "Yes." "It's from that girl down the road." "What girl?" " I think her name is Halldora." "She runs the bar at the community hall." "Does Snorri smoke?" "No." "What about you?" "No." "None of us smoke." "This morning you said that this was sabotage." "Why is that?" "What do I know?" "These people chain themselves to the machines to stall the project." "So you think the environmentalists did something to the digger... and stole the dynamite?" "I don't know." "And I also know nothing about the explosives." "But I know Larus has been waiting for the digger to break down." "Why is that?" "We both bid on this job, but we came in slightly higher." "Larus thinks that experience is no longer important in this game." "That it's all about having the latest equipment." "He's resentful about the compensation." "We own the land." "The insurance company says that the digger is worth 15 to 20 million." "Yes." "I suppose that's right." "You can pay off a lot of debts with that." "What the hell do you mean?" "Are you accusing me of trying to get insurance money... by seriously injuring my son?" "Veigar, that's not what she means." "We apologise." "Is this how you operate?" "If I don't have a digger, I can't finish the job." "And then we're done." "Now my boy is lying in hospital and this digger is worth nothing." "We understand that perfectly well." "Okay." "Was there anything else?" "No." "That's it for now." "Actually." "One more thing." "When did Snorri leave last night?" "The 7 o'clock news was over when we came from the cows." "He was getting ready for the dance." "So, between 8 and 9." "Did he mention going up there to work that evening?" "No, but he knew that we were really behind schedule." "We are going to get daily fines." "But maybe." "Thank you." "Inga!" "What was that?" " I know what I'm doing." "Are your mum and dad home?" "Mum's home." "Is the boy with you?" " What?" "Isn't the boy with you?" "Helgi." "We just got a printout from the phone company." "A call was made from Snorri's phone to an unregistered mobile number just before Eydis called 112." "And before that there were repeated calls to Halldora who runs the bar." "What about this unregistered number?" " We don't know." "It's prepaid." "Oh." "It's turned off." "Come on, let's go." "How is Snorri doing?" "They're keeping him under." "Do you know him well?" " Yes, we were childhood friends." "We grew up together, me, him and my husband, Larus." "Until I went to college and Larus went to technical school." "Snorri stayed behind." "Do you want milk?" " No thanks." "No thanks." "When did you last see Snorri?" " At the dance, around midnight." "Good morning." " Good morning." "It's the police." "Why are you here?" "When did you last see Snorri?" " Snorri?" "At the dance last night." "Did something happen?" "He fell over the cliff in the digger." " What?" "Is he alright?" "He's critically injured." "He's being kept under." "Is that why you are here?" "Is his father blaming me?" "Why would he do that?" "He's using old machines so he doesn't have to rent from me and then he blames it on me when there is an accident." "Why?" "He wants me bankrupt, so he can get the land." "I don't know anything about this." "I woke up half an hour ago in the car, on the road by the field." "I slept there all night." "Do you and Snorri stay in touch?" " No, we rarely speak these days." "I have got nothing against Snorri, but his father is an arsehole." "Larus!" " What?" "They can know what I think about him." "Were you at the dance until the end?" " No, I left early." "I was looking for Anna but then I found out that she'd got a lift." "Does Snorri have a girlfriend?" "No." " Yes." "Really?" "I thought that was over." "Who is she?" "Her name is Halldora." "She works at the community hall." "She also runs a massage parlour." "Where the hell were you?" "I kept calling you." "I lost the damn phone." "He was lying." "If he was down by the field why didn't he go home?" "It's just down the road." " It's very strange." "Did you see a vehicle there this morning?" " No." "Was she there this morning?" " Anna?" "Yes." "She works at the clinic." "You can never use this." " I know." "I just want to check it out." "This is inadmissible evidence." "What are you going to do with it?" "What?" "Are you going to rat on me?" "Are you here because of the accident?" "Yes." "How's Snorri?" " Who are you?" "I'm Ulfur, Larus's brother." " They are keeping him under." "But he is going to be okay, right?" " We hope so." "This is the only place where you can't be seen from the road." "He knows this place is out of sight." "That's why he said he was here." "There is no way he drove here." "This is at least a week old." "Are you joking?" "How can you tell?" "You can see that." "This is at least a week old." "How come you're able to determine the age of shit?" "That's because I'm professional." "Stop that." "Haven't you looked at:" "Howoldistheshit." "Com" "Are we taking this with us?" " Yes." "Put it in your pocket." "Smell this." " They are going inside the tents." "I need to speak to you." "Here is a printout from the phone company." " Yes." "Thank you." "Hello." "I'm Freyr Vignisson." " Helgi." "It was me that arrived here first." "Good morning." "We're from the State Police." "Yes, I want to press charges." "This is disturbing our guests..." "This is my land." " Our land." "Yes." "They are looking for explosives as I'm sure they've told you." "They're not entering any tents." " This is persecution." "That's what it is." " This is just rude." "They've got a bloody drug dog sniffing around" "They just talk rubbish." "Nobody admits to seeing anything." "They're just happy if anything stalls the project." "Does any one of them own a bike?" " Was I supposed to check that?" "We are looking for the cyclist that Eydis saw on the road." "My shift is over." "I told everyone that I couldn't stay." "I haven't seen any bicycle." "We have to put the search for the cyclist on hold." "We'll meet by the cliff tomorrow to work out the timeline." "I can't take the phone at the moment, please leave a message." "Hi Helgi." "It's Marin." "Where are you?" "I'm at the cinema, I'll wait for you." "Bye." "Who is Marin?" "Marin?" "Why?" "She invited you to the cinema." "Is she your girlfriend?" "No." "I just work with her." "Shall we get on with this?" "Do you want some coke?" " Dad." "I don't drink coke." "It's sugar." "Runar used to drink coke." "Maybe you were thinking of him when you bought it." "What do you like to drink?" " Green Top." "Green Top?" "Isn't that an ice lolly?" " Oh, Dad." "I'll just have water." "Our prayers are with the young man who was injured." "This project is doomed and this accident is an example of that." "We don't know who stole the explosives." "Probably they did it to get the police to harass our guests." "This is political persecution." "That's what it is." "As you can hear, feelings are running high here." "43.000 have petitioned against plans to build any more dams." "Mum is hoping that you find a woman." " Really?" "She cries sometimes, and Bragi comforts her." "I cry sometimes." "When I think about Runar." "Do you ever cry?" "No no." "There's no one to comfort you." "I comfort myself." "You can come with me if you want." " I don't have time now, sweetheart." "Won't there be a show soon?" " Yes." "I guess so." "I'll come then." " Okay." "Isn't your mum picking you up?" " Yes." "Or Bragi." "He goes to the gym on Sundays." " Okay bye." "Here is your horse, love." "Just take it inside the paddock." "Hi, this is Marin, leave a message and I will call you back." "Hi Marin." "It's Helgi." "I just wanted to check up on you." "I'm sorry I didn't call last night." "I got home really late." "We'll speak soon." "Okay." "Bye." "Snorri." "Snorri." "He woke up." "He opened his eyes." "He squeezed my hand." "It must be possible to wake him up." "I'm not saying it can't happen." "We'll try to wake him in two days." "But now you're exhausted." " Eydis, go get some food, lie down." "I'll stay with Snorri." " Good to see you." "Hello." "My name is Anna." "I'm a nurse at the clinic in Selfoss." "Hi." "I'm Brynja." "Can you tell me what his odds are?" "Don't expect too much." "There's haemorrhaging in his brain" "We did a scan and it shows very little blood flow to his brain." "Hi." "Nice echo." "It's unbelievable that he survived the fall." "You're not superstitious." " What?" "In a few days they will have blown big holes in this." "I'm going to take this rock home and put in my garden." "When I was a kid here you weren't allowed to speak near this cliff." "Is that why you're talking like we're at a funeral?" "Did you say you spent time here as a child?" "Yeah." "I spent a few summers with Lauga and Fusi at Fell." "So you know the names of all the elves and ghosts." "No." "I don't actually." "But I wouldn't have taken that rock." "There are four minutes from the call to the unregistered number... until Eydis, his mother, calls 112." "So Snorri has less than four minutes to make the phone call?" "If it was him that made the call." " Lf it was him that made the call." "Go to the top of the cliff, start the digger, drive it off the edge, ...before Eydis arrives." "And she parks here." "Runs straight to the digger." "Runs back to the car and dials 112." "We need to know how long that would have taken her... so we can rule out Snorri as the caller." "So, run there and back and I'll time you." "One, two, go." "Me?" "Yeah." "Run as fast as you can so we can time it." "One, two and go." " What's that all about?" "And then something happens here." " Run back fast." "What?" " Run back fast!" "What?" "Just multiply it by two." "What is this bullshit?" "Time?" "One minute and ten seconds." "She probably stopped for a minute to check up on him which gives Snorri less than a minute." "Ok, say three minutes." "He has one minute to do it all." "That's not possible." "So, it wasn't Snorri who made the call to the unregistered number." "So there was someone else here just before the accident." "Maybe it was the person that took the dynamite." "Sorry." "I have to get that." "I can't just stop whenever I like." "Is that tonight?" "No, you hadn't told me?" "Can't your mother babysit?" "I don't know..." "Okay?" "Two hours?" "Okay." "Bye." "Hey, this Halldora that Snorri called so many times" "The one they couldn't agree if she was his girlfriend or not." "We have to speak to her." " Yep." "I'll do it tomorrow." "I have to go see Lauga." "She'll be upset if she hears I was here and didn't visit her." "But if Snorri wakes up tomorrow it will all be explained." "I'll stop by Holt and ask about the cyclist." "I'll do a report and go through it with you tomorrow." "Okay." "Bye." "He will not be spared." " Good morning, Lauga." "I baked some cakes for you." "I can see there's quite a crowd joining us for coffee." "Most of the people I can be bothered to talk to are dead." "And aren't they all doing fine?" "No." "The sheep gnawed their land and now they are flooding it." "And to make matters worse they're blowing up the cliff." "Blow up a sacred place!" "I knew no good would come of it." "I saw the Moon of Urd." "It thickened over Bakki and disappeared there." "Snorri will not live." "The doctor said he might wake up tomorrow." "I knew you would come." "It was just a coincidence that I was assigned to the job." "So why do you think I baked all these cakes for you this morning and found this picture of you and Eydis?" "Everyone knows you can't disturb the cliff." "Both animals and people died because of it in the past." "But isn't it good to get some compensation for your land?" "Fusi sold it all just before he died." "Everything." "Who did he sell it to?" " Veigar in Bakki." "Who else?" "So how are you feeling, Helgi?" " I'm fine." "No one who buries his child is fine." "Certainly not if he wont let it go." "You haven't done that, Helgi." "He's still with you, the little boy." "Yes, I'm on my way." "I'lll be there in ten minutes." "I should be there already." "I'm sorry you're going to be late." "I just couldn't get away sooner." "I'll take a cab later." " Okay." "Okay, Snorri." "Now I think it's time to wake up." "The brown horse needs to be trained." "Hi Eydis." "I was coming to town so I thought I'd stop by." "I'm not staying long but you can get some food if you're hungry." "Yeah." "That's probably a good idea." "Shouldn't I get a vase for these?" "Yes." "Do that." " You'll call me if anything happens." "Thank you, darling." "The police investigation into the accident at the cliff ...is still ongoing" "All work in the area has been put on hold at the request of the police." "Orri Fridjonsson, Councilman What's your comment on this?" "It is of course very bad if the explosives are not found..." "But we are expecting a permit so the contractor can continue." "Each day down is very expensive." "Yes." "Yes." "Okay." "Bye." "Damn it." " What?" "The Commissioner decided that work can start at the cliff tomorrow." "And that any further investigation is just a formality." "He can be such an idiot, that man." "Well, isn't this just normal procedure?" "No." "Didn't you get the forensics team to help you all day yesterday?" "It's in everyone's interest to finish this line as soon as possible." "Veigar is in great financial trouble because of the delays." "He won't get the next payment until he's up on the cliff." "So what!" "That hurts." "Don't you think he'll want to know what happened to his son?" "And then there's the stolen explosives." "That was a lot less than they thought." "Relax." "Orri, how much dynamite do you need to cause major damage?" "Come on." " Why is everyone in such a hurry?" "Doesn't anyone give a damn?" " Some kids have stolen it." "Had Snorri not just been working too long and made a mistake?" "Darling, you're taking this too seriously." "The Commissioner is prepared to write this off as an accident... and ask people to look out for explosives lying around." "But I'm not prepared to do that." " Inga." "And then you've also got this attitude" "Inga." "You know, I can't be bothered to talk to you about this anymore." "Oh, Valur." "What have you done?" "Sweetheart." "You can't paint the furniture, only the wall." "Come on." "Lets get something to eat." "This is something they've decided." "You should be relieved." "Now you can just finish painting your house and be rid of me." "This was not an accident." "The fingerprints that were on the lighter were Larus's." "How do you know that?" "Because I compared them to the prints on the other lighter." "But his prints are not on file." " I know he doesn't have a record." "We can't use this." " Of course I know we can't use it." "But still, it has to be looked into." "It's ridiculous to close this investigation now." "I don't have time for this." "I'll call you tomorrow." "Code blue in number seven!" "Clear!" "Shock!" "One milligram of adrenalin."
