" _" " I think the killer's a shaman, Dan." "Collecting body parts because they think there is a monster here." "A monster?" "Can I trust you, Dan?" "I am the only one you can trust." "Wasn't she effectively on life support?" "It is a miracle, Dr. Yelburton." "Something about regeneration." "That weather station is still there." "If I can find that lab..." "I think maybe you should get some help." "Erling Munk is corrupt." "Why can't you love me?" "I care about Fortitude." "LIAR!" " I can't." " No." "No!" "_" "So what do you think?" "Maybe he was hired by a jealous wife." "Then why would an assassin leave Zurich to live in Fortitude?" "So... where are we with the Ledesma girl?" "We haven't located the whereabouts of, err... of Elena." "Where are we with the, erm..." "the, err, murdered barman..." " Tomak." " Tomak." "We have a match on his fingerprints." "What do we need a match on his fingerprints for?" "We have his fingerprints." "They are in the mortuary at the end of his hands." "No..." "Interpol have a thumb and forefinger on file." "Recovered from a door handle." "A biopharmaceutical executive was murdered in an RD pharmacy lab in Zurich." "The killer has never been identified." "Just these two prints." "Probably holding the gun in his right hand when he opened the door." "His phones." "You have an expert...?" "Petter Hansen." "Mr. Hansen couldn't get into his phones." "So... irrelevant." "Irrelevant." "Irrelevant!" "His heart was cut out." "His head was cut off." "Her head too!" "They're all dead." "One man is alive." "The killer." "The... the... the..." "the... the... the nutcase." "The... the serial psychopath." "Stop wasting time on... on diagrams and string and... get..." "Find him!" "Find the killer!" "Arrest the man or woman!" "Find the missing girl as well." "Get fucking finding!" "Governor Munk, if we..." "Governor and Chief of Police." "Chief." "Police." "I want..." "I want..." "I want results!" "RESULTS!" "Fuck." "Petra, I thought you had problem." "We got about another, err, twenty three kilometres." "We'll be there by lunch if the weather holds." "What's that?" "Magnum." "I didn't know you had a magnum." " It's for bear." " Bear?" "She's right." "It's the only handgun that can stop a bear." "So they say." "Can I try?" "Come on, what if you're in the tent asleep, and I have to grab the handgun?" "I need to know how to shoot it." "Come on." "Or you might get eaten by a bear." "Is it loaded?" "It's loaded." "What shall I shoot?" "Don't know." "Not much to aim at." "I don't to see any cans or bottles or any of that traditional shoot-at shit." "Shoot him." "What?" " Shoot your father." " What?" "If you love me... shoot him." "He knows too much." "No one will ever find his body out here." "Don't fuck around with this thing!" "Look at you two." "The father and the son!" "Like a fucking Greek Tragedy." "Don't fuck around." "Vladek, I brought you some food." "Vladek?" "Freya." "There we go, Freya." "This, this sickness..." "It will do this more and more." "Your strength failing." "Your throat won't swallow." "Then your lungs will stop bringing you air." "I can do one thing for you before I go." "Let you choose." "Part of you can always be with me, Freya." " No!" " Live on in death." "You can help me." "You are a healer." "I felt it." "Your strength inside me." "Every morsel of that strength is needed for what I have to do." "Healing you would cost too much of it." "It's..." "One dying woman or a whole town." "You understand?" "Please... don't leave me, please." "What are you doing?" "Wi-Fi's down in my lab." "Just needed to check my emails." "There's nothing urgent thank goodness." "You always have the reindeer burger." "What about the lutefische?" "Tourists occasionally try it." "But only once." "Bring me that." "On your own head be it." "You worked out how to wear your anorak." "What did it mean, the tongue?" "Some kind of warning?" "No." "No, it, err... it singled you out." " How?" " You didn't follow the herd." "Eric shot you?" " Yes." " Hmm." "I got shot once." "It hurt so fucking much I couldn't believe it." "I couldn't stop being sick." "Hmm." " You look well enough." " Hmm." "A little gaunt perhaps." "Well, shamanism is an agonistic practice." ""Agonistic"?" "The spiritual currency is, is..." "I suppose it's pain." "Sacrifice, agonies, torments." "And then... more pain." "Mm-hmm." "Not just your pain though." "Other people get accounted too." "Mm." "Hindemith, Tavrani, Bianca, the barman upstairs." "These are wrongs, evils, injustices that are balanced out." "And who's going to "balance" you out?" "You." "What, now?" "No." "When you become the demon." "Oh, right." "You're a lunatic." "A see-into-the-future psychopath." "A self-appointed voodoo nutjob." "How many days since you woke up, five?" "Because your recovery rate is remarkable." "Well..." "But that's not quite right, is it?" "Because recovery implies you're getting back to normal, and that's not what's happening, is it, Dan?" "You're changing." "Aren't you?" "Aren't you?" "Appetites for things you've never tried." "Dark thoughts." "Enjoy." "The dissolution of empathy." "You know nothing about me." "Mm." "If I am this... demon, and you're a shaman, why don't you just kill me and have done with it?" "Because you're not the demon yet." "You might think this is it." "But it's not." "You have a way to go before he's here." "Before the healing can happen." "Well, when I am him, shaman." "I'll come find you." "This is Governor Odegard." "Leave a message." "Have you seen Hildur?" "Err, no." "I..." "I thought you were her just now." "I heard the door." "She's not slept in her bed, she's not answering her phone." "Oh?" "We had words." "Angry words." "We, err... we had a fight." "A fight?" "Yes." "And now she's gone." "She'll, erm... she'll turn up, Eric." "Meantime, you've had your instructions." "Results." "There it is." "This is the place." "This is the table." "They cut the guy up." "In the film." "Somebody's been here." "They could be watching us." "What did you think you would find here?" "I don't know." "A miracle." "Something..." "Epinephrine." "Make your breathing a lot easier." "Gives you strength." "When was asthma diagnosed, Freya?" "In Tromso." "Last year." "Michael and I were visiting." "I had an attack." "There's asthma in my family, so I..." "I knew." " Would you squeeze my hand, Freya?" " What?" "Go on." "Squeeze my hand." "Hard as you can." "The young man who came for me." "I do not know him." "Who is he?" "Erm, he... he did some work." "He's an electrician." "And what is the young man's name?" "I don't think he ever said." "You're telling me so many lies, Freya." "Why are you doing that?" "I think we should pray together." "Oh, I do." "I would like that very much." "Dear Father in Heaven, look kindly on my sister Freya." "You see the ordeal set beyond." "Grant us strength, courage and healing." "I've seen a newborn reindeer so completely overwhelmed by blood-sucking black fly, that it collapsed and died." "The tiny little fuckers just sucked so much blood out of bambi." "That bambi kicked the bucket." "Polar bears shouldn't be susceptible." "Their... their coat is, is in order of thickness that..." "Who's this?" "You told me you thought I should get help, so I got help." "I didn't mean that kind of help." "I meant..." "I know what you meant." "This is Doctor Yelburton... she used to work here, but now she works in Khatri's lab of death." "I need to talk to you." "Oh, now you need my help." "Anyway, where were we?" "Vincent!" "Look, you're... you're making my placement student uncomfortable." "Look." "I have to talk to you now about something very important..." "And I have to continue examining this bear tissue from the bear who died of anemia, cos I'd like to find out what caused that anemia..." "Possibly some sort of blood-sucking irritant that wouldn't leave it alone." "No, don't write that down." "Let's start on these blood cells." "You know, when my uncle brought me here, we sat up all night talking." "He told me about what happened here." "Neither of us knew that D'Yavol was on the other side of the door." "What is D'Yavol?" "He is a monster... who comes and causes atrocity, you cannot kill him." "You saw him on that film." "What if it was not them who broke in, but it was D'Yavol who broke out?" "Ragh!" "My dad thinks you're trouble." "Of course I'm trouble." "Fuck!" "Rune." "Hey." "Hey, help me move this." "There's something in there." "UGH!" "Put it down." "It's locked." "Yeah!" "It's muscimol." "Look!" "A fly agaric." "We can mix some more." "What?" "What is it?" "What, Rune?" "Rune, what?" "!" "Is this the reason why you brought us here?" "Right." "Rune..." "Don't tell him, Rune." "Ketamin and opioids." "There really can't be any innocent explanation for this." "Elucidate for me, in my ignorance, if you would be so good." "This drug combination which was on a repeat prescription to the lab can only have one purpose." "Which would be what?" "Which would be to sedate someone who would otherwise wake up." "Is that an opinion or an "expert" opinion?" ""Expert"." "So... it's your contention that Elena Ledesma was being kept in a coma?" " Worse than that." " Worse?" "Kept in a coma and experimented on." "Cut and violated." "Which amounts to vivisection." " By Doctor Khatri?" " Yes." "Do you have, erm, any other corroborative evidence?" "Yeah, I'm preparing to make DNA comparison of tissue samples." "Samples which I believe Khatri removed from a living patient without consent." "And when will these results made available?" "Soon." "Well..." "I would like to ask you something completely off the record," "Miss Yelburton." "Okay." "Do you think there might be a connection with what you have discovered and the dreadful events these recent days?" "I do." "I do too." "You're not wearing a white-suit." "Fuck that." "We have a big fucking problem." "Hey." "Are you okay, Eric?" "I'm, err, thinking." "Working things out." "Any word from Hildur?" "Eric?" "You heard anything yet?" "Do we have a strategy?" "Eric?" "An investigative strategy based on Governor Munk's priorities?" "We need you to tell us what to do next, Eric." "Eric?" "I'm thinking." " That good?" " It tickles." "It's good." "I don't know much about..." "conditioner or stuff like that." "Probably neither did Henry." "Probably if he had any here, I drank it when I was purging." "I wanna tell you something." "I died." "When you shot me." "I can't imagine what that must have been like..." "No, not imagine." "Truly died." "On the floor, after you shot me." "I was dead in the ambulance, in the operating room." "And all the time I was in Khatri's laboratory," "I was really in the land of the dead." "She kept you in an induced coma." "No." "In the land of the dead." "When I was there, a man found me." "There was no man." "You were in a coma." "He was a shaman." "What did the shaman want?" "He asked me about you." "What did you tell him?" "Everything." "I told him everything I knew about you." "I'm going to ask you to close your eyes." "I also told him that you once said you would kill yourself rather than hurt me." "Up you get." "Big bear hug." "What did he say?" "He said the man who made that promise would never break it." "And he said that the only thing that was holding Fortitude together was Dan Anderssen the Sheriff." "Not jobs or money, not Governor Odegard... just Dan and without him, this place would be condemned to agony at the hands of a monster." "That's right." "You're not Dan." "I wanna go." "You're staying right here." "No." "I wanna go back." "I am never, ever, going to let you go again." "Dan Anderssen could never let Elena go." "And... if I'm not Dan, then who am I?" "Dan would never let Elena leave him for another man." "And if she ever tried to leave him for another man," "God knows what he would do." "Hey." "Hey." "Where is Michael?" "Hunting trip." "Him and Rune." "Things I need to know." "Ingrid won't tell me cos... she's caught between her job and her family." "Conflicted loyalties." "Things I have to know, Freya." " What things?" " Tell me the truth." "Is Michael with Hildur?" "Is that what's happening?" "No, Eric, believe me... that is not what is happening at all." "Swear to me." "I'm sure, Eric." "You don't have to worry about that." "Oh, Christ." "I've so fucked up." "I know." "We all have." "Are you okay?" "I hardly see you in town anymore." "Is everything alright with you?" "Everything's fine." "I'm fine." "What're you burning?" "Just old rags." "Clearing up a mess." "You look after yourself, okay?" "Suddenly, you don't want anything to do with the reindeer juice." "You loved the reindeer juice when it was just you and me doing it." "My mum is very sick." "I know your mum is very sick..." "It's killing my dad." "He's lost." "My dad is a very tough guy, right?" "I mean, he goes out into the ocean." "He can beat you with his fists." "He's..." "Well, he's pretty smart." "Like..." "It's like you said, you know?" "He... he's a sexy motherfucker." "Sexy motherfucker." "My mum is too." "DAD!" "GET OFF HIM!" "D'Yavol!" "D'Yavol!" "D'Yavol!" "AH!" "Let go." "Let go." "Stay back." "Shit." " You alright?" " Yes." "She's missing an eye." "Fuck." "She's a Russian soldier." "We drop her down a crevice." "Yeah, we could do that." "No one will find her, we drop her down a fucking crevice." "No one will ever know." "We drop her down a fucking crev..." " She's a person." " Shut up!" "You shot her, y-y-you killed her." "Dad!" "We're gonna take her back to Fortitude." "NO!" "Tell Eric exactly what happened." "She'll get a proper burial." "Her family... everything." "Rune, go get the tent." "We'll wrap her up in it, put her on my skidoo." "Go ahead." "I want to..." "I want to tell you something." "I died when I first met you." "I walked into the interview room with your file in my hand, and there you were, at the other side of the table." "I had to stare down at your file to get my breath back." "I looked up." "And I was a dead man." "Lost with all the other dead men." "But now, I'm alive." "And they have you all to themselves." "Stop." "A single degree warming across the archipelago is turning a million square kilometres of frozen permafrost into thawed perma... nonfrost." "Bad." "Yep." "It'll become very boggy underfoot." "Very boggy, yeah." "Eric is lost." "Munk is a drunken lying fucker." "Dan is not Dan." "Odegard has left us." "Maybe I should take charge." "In the bay!" "There's a body!" "There's someone in the water!" " Oh, no." " Floating!" "There, see?" "Someone get a boat." "Oh, Christ." "It is." "It's a body." "Give me those." "Dan, come back!" "He can't do this." "He'll die." "You can't go in that water." " Jesus Christ." " Dan, what are you doing?" " DAN ANDERSSEN, COME BACK!" " DAN, COME BACK!" "Dan!" " Dan!" " Stop!" "His muscles will seize up." "His heart will stop." " _" " You shouldn't have come." "Don't you just turn your back on me." "Because one of them's hiding here." "I need to see you."
