"Isn't it yours?" " No, it's not mine." "Whose is it?" "I don't know, maybe Katrín?" "Katrín?" "Have you started sleeping with her?" "I'm not sleeping with her." "She just came here for a while and we were working." "And just dropped her earring on the floor?" "I swear she's the only woman who's been in here while you were away." "And we didn't sleep together." "She's married remember." "She's here to pick me up." "OK." "I'm off." "Don't forget to return her the earring." "OK." " OK." "Bye." " Bye." "Maybe it's about time for me to get a car." "Weren't you the one who said it was just a waste of money?" "No, I just mean that you wouldn't have to keep picking me up." "It's no problem for me picking you up." "Thanks." "Is still totally unnecessary." "You'd rather I wouldn't pick you up?" "No. not at all." "Then what?" "She's starting to suspect it." "Agnes?" "That you cheated on her?" "Yes." "I think so." "And that's why you don't want me picking you up?" "No." "It's just... a delicate situation right now." "Where did these folders come from?" "Svavar." "Good morning." " Good morning." "Good evening." "Check this out." " Are you going to a funeral?" "How can it be. so much information has been collected about a person who hasn't barely been missing for more then one day." "I don't know." "All I know is Svavar contacted me last night and said this folder would be waiting for us today." "What we have here." "is a 37 year old female named Birgitta Vésteinsdóttir." "She's divorced. has one daughter, seven years old." "Birgitta's height is 170 cm, weighs 64-67 kg, blue-eyed, blond with long straight hair." "Wow." "We're just missing her bra size." "Where does she buy her underwear?" "There's nothing about that in this report." "Birgitta is a freelance systems analyst." "She was last seen at Broadway on Saturday evening, where they were handing out the 2008 marketing awards." "On Saturday evening?" "It's just Monday morning." "What's with all the commotion." "Who called this in?" "His name is Kristinn Grétarsson." "her daughter's father." "Their daughter stayed over at his place two nights ago and Birgitta was supposed to pick her up yesterday, but never came." "So they're not married anymore?" "No." "And we must get things rolling." "I've set up a meeting with her mother and daughter." "Katrín, you'll join me." "Guðni, you'll take Árni and talk to Steinar Ísfeld." "a colleague who was also at that event." "Doesn't someone have to talk to her daughter's dad?" "Of course." "But we don't do everything at the same time." "Just go with Guðni, Árni." "Listen." "when are you going to Copenhagen?" "Tomorrow." "I see." "We'll get this done." "Shouldn't I get you some overalls." "You don't want to get paint on your suit." "Look at this?" "Who does something like this?" "Some bloody loser." "I think you just need a new paint job." "The whole car?" " Yes." "At least this side." "With both doors ruined." "just get a full paint job." "Do you know someone who can do it for me?" "Yes, more then likely." "Yes?" "I can at least lend you some overalls." "No no. that's OK." "What's with the sudden efficiency in the department?" "A woman missing for a few hours and her biography is on our table one, two, three." "Yes." "Stefán." "That's how it's supposed to be done." "Is this the future?" "Hopefully." "Do you know something I don't?" "No, unfortunately." "Listen, when are you going on that vacation?" "Tomorrow." " Tomorrow?" "Yes, I had told you." "Are you seriously taking a vacation before we've solved this case?" "That's not my decision to make." "[HOSPITAL, WOMEN'S WARD]" "So you're not coming in with me?" " No." "I have to work." "You show me no support in this." "I've shown you more support then most people would do." "Yes, quite the hero." "So you think it's just OK, to send me to a prenatal checkup alone?" "María, I've got to go to work." "I can't just NOT show up." "I have to go to meetings and make appearances." "Call me when you're done and I'll pick you up." "Or just take a taxi, that's probably better." "You're a loser." "Steinar." "Thank you very much." "She'll pop back up around noon." "Too much effort for too small a case." "Like we have nothing better to do then chase slutty women on a binge?" "Do you think they'll make you stand in for Stefán?" "I can't see who else should do it?" "I have the most experience." "I'll be your superior tomorrow, boy." "I can't wait." "I've gone over all possible locations in my mind and" "I just can't imagine where she could have gone to." "Could she have gone out of town?" "We have a summer cabin in Grímsnes and Birgitta frequently goes there." "But the keys are still here in the hall so she can hardly be there." "Yes." "We'll still have someone check it out." "So. what about men?" "Does your daughter have a boyfriend?" "Don't you want to go to your room while I talk to the people my dear." "We'll maybe get to talk to you later." "What about her father?" "Kristinn Grétarsson." "I don't quite know what to say." "Him and Birgitta lived together for two years." "How's the relationship with him now?" "Yes." "it's up and down." "Is it a lot or a little?" "Quite a bit." "Maybe a bit too much for my taste." "What do you mean?" "One shouldn't be judging." "Did he physically abuse her?" "He did it at least once to my knowledge." "He might quite as well have done so more often." "Was she still romantically involved with him?" "No." "My lord, I hope not." "It's been a bit:" ""Come pick me up and drop me off here and there"" "I don't know." "But is she involved with anyone else?" "Not that I know of." "Hello?" ""Speak of the Devil" as someone said." "Hi." " Yes. this is Kristinn" "Katla's dad." "Hi." "Stefán." " Hi." "We talked on the phone earlier." "Yes, exactly." "Kristinn, hi." "Katrín." " Kristinn." "Oh hi." " Hi." "Shall we sit?" "Has she disappeared like this before?" "No, that's why I called you." "This is just not the way she is." "If I've got the girl, I can rely on Birgitta arriving at the time we agreed on." "Always." "Her desktop computer is in the next room if you want to check it out?" "What?" "Why should we want to check it out?" "Someone from your department came this morning asking about her laptop so..." "He also came here." "Did someone come here?" "What did he want?" "He asked about the laptop." "And he has looked at the big computer." "And did he say he was a police officer?" " Yes." "A mysterious man claiming to be from the police." "I don't buy it." "It's not often they're brave enough to pretend to be cops." "I actually don't remember that happening before." "No, exactly." "Who would want to be a cop?" "There's something Svavar isn't telling me." "Oh, by the way, you'll be in charge while I'm gone." "Me?" "Yes." "Tomorrow?" "What?" "Don't you think you can handle it?" "Yes." "How do you think people will handle it?" "Just fine." "Shame I didn't have the sense to show up in a suit." "Yes, let me deal with him." "Have the rescue squads started searching?" "No." " Why not?" "Svavar's orders." "Were you at the marketing award party at Broadway on Saturday?" "Yes." "I was there." "And did you meet up with Birgitta there?" "Just a tiny bit." "Barely talked to her for a moment. which specialized in software for marketing companies." "It went bankrupt about two years ago, around the time you broke up and started dating Maria Dís Sigurðardóttir." "Yes. those facts aren't connected in any way." "Pardon me." "I must take this." "No problem." "Hello?" "Are you going to pick me up?" "Hadn't we talked about you just taking a taxi?" "No, you were going to pick me up." "Yes, I'm busy in a meeting." "You can't even pick me up after my prenatal checkup?" "It's your baby I'm carrying you bloody loser." "OK, my dear." "Yes, very good." "Bye." "The wife." "knocked up." "Tell us exactly what Birgitta said to you at Broadway." "Here's one." "Toyota Corolla '93, driven 148.000 km." "and priced at 170.000." "That's a fine car." "It won't last long that one." "It's amazing how long those Japanese cars last." "You can't have Katrín picking you up every day." "She wants to." "I'm not asking her to." "I can easily take the bus or a cab." "Maybe she fancies you?" "Yes, but we're both in other relationships." "There always seems to be some trouble with the guy she's married to." "How so?" "She kicked him out the other day." "All right." "And what?" "Are they separating?" " I don't know." "That's just what I heard." " Hi." "Hi." " Hi." "Is that Birgitta's computer?" "Yes, but it's no ordinary home computer." "What do you mean?" "It's just as pro as they can get, but it's full of viruses." "What kind of viruses?" "Every document in it has been infected by a virus that destroys them, and that virus was planted this morning." "This morning?" "Birgitta drove around in a grey Renault Megan, 2007 model." "Licence MT 932." "It's being searched for this very moment." "Árni?" "I'm coming." "Some man came and planted a virus in her home computer." "He's also searching for her laptop." "Many calls, many questions." "Who could it be?" "I don't know. but I have a feeling he hasn't found it." "I mean her computer is probably in her car." "We must at least find it before him. that's for sure." "Any ideas?" "We can always place a want-ad for a used computer." "Do you think that will get us anywhere?" "It might be a longshot but it could work." "If the computer is not in the car, then it's possible it was stolen by some petty thief." "It's possible he'll reply to the ad, they do do that sometime these guys." "Árni, you'll handle that." "What did you learn from Steinar Ísfeld?" "Steinar Ísfeld is a social security number drifter." "Him and Birgitta were together in business and pleasure a few years ago." "He had the company go under and started a new one after he dumped Birgitta and started dating María Dís Sigurðardóttir who was 2nd place in Miss Iceland 2003, nice to say." "So Steinar and Birgitta were a couple?" "They were a couple." "Someone must talk to Steinar's wife. this María Dís." "Guðni, you'll take care of that." " With pleasure." "Yes." "I'm going to Copenhagen tomorrow afternoon." "That's unavoidable." "Hopefully this woman will have turned up by then." "However that goes, Katrín will be in charge while I'm away." "Let's continue with our work." "Seeking used laptop." "For information, ask Gísli at 692-4552" "Will it be published in tomorrow's paper?" "On the internet in a few minutes?" "OK, great." "Thanks, bye." "What's wrong with you?" "It's just, I must go tell her about this." "Agnes?" "Yes, I must put the cards on the table and end this." "It's been over for a while." "Yes, if that's your opinion." "It's not just that I cheated on her." "It's been over for a while and I want..." "I mean she's a cute girl, brilliant in every way." "But there's nothing going on." "We're not in love anymore." "No." "That's not good enough." "Are you going through something similar?" "What do you mean?" "No, it's just one hears things, about you and your husband." "Is that so?" "I just want you to know if there is anything I can do for you..." "Erotic massage or..." "Shut up." "Why don't you try working instead." "It wasn't just my decision to make, Guðni." "Don't bullshit Stefán." "This would never have gone through unless you agreed to it." "I know you've been here longer then Katrín." "I've been in this job for 20 years and you pick some little bitch who was still in grade school when I started." "She's been 10 years on the force and isn't much younger then you, Guðni." "That's not the only thing that matters and you know it." "What has she got that I don't have?" "So, you want me to list it?" "All right." "She's never shown up drunk to work." "Never been appointed to rehab." "Never been charged with assault." "Never been suspended." "Never been reprimanded for disciplinary reasons." "Do you want me to continue?" "I'm taking this up with the union." "That baby girl doesn't tell me what to do." "Yes." "I know Svenni." "Yes." "Listen, can't you pick her up after school?" "I'll do that." "But listen." "when will you come home?" "Why?" "No, I was just wondering..." "Wait, are you going somewhere tonight?" "No, it doesn't sound like it." "Who are we fooling?" "What do you mean?" "You know exactly what I mean." "I don't have time for this." "I have to get to work." "Can you do this?" "Hold on, tell me what you mean?" "No, I must get back to work." "Bye." "Hello." "Have you been offered anything?" "Yes, thank you." "Hi." "Katla." " Hi." "Could I perhaps talk to her a bit privately?" "Yes, that probably fine." "Is that OK honey?" " Yes." "Where did you sleep Saturday night?" "At my daddy's place." "And was your daddy at home the whole time?" "Yes. the whole time." "When did you go to bed?" "When I finished watching TV." "Did you wake up during the night?" "Yes." "I woke up, got up and daddy was asleep." "Did you see him asleep?" "Yes." "So tell me." "What did the policeman look like who came to look at the laptop?" "I can't talk, I'm driving." "Did you find a replacement?" "What did you say?" "I asked if you had found someone to replace you?" "Yes, I've freed myself" "Are you happy?" "You're not doing this for me." "You're doing this for yourself." "You have a daughter out there." "Those are your grandchildren also, not just mine." "I know that." "But I'm also trying to find a woman who hasn't been seen for a day and a half." "And she has a four year old daughter who is worried about her." "This woman might be dead." "Maybe she committed suicide." "Maybe she was murdered." "Jesus Christ, you'll never change." "Hjördís, can you have a word with me?" "I just didn't see that man." "Katla let him in while I was taking a bath." "Was he only asking about the computer?" "I can't verify it, but Katla says so." "Was Katla at her dad's place Saturday night?" "Yes." "No, it's none of these." "He looked quite plain this guy." "Had me totally convinced he was with the police." "Just can't remember what he said his name was." "Are you sure he introduced himself?" "No, I'm not quite sure about that." "That's how you do it." "Yes. thanks." "You're Árni, aren't you?" "Yes." " Son of Eysteinn?" "Yes." "Hello." "Leifur Jónsson, National Security Unit." "Hello." "I'm quite interested in speaking with you some time." "Me?" "Why?" "Because of my dad?" " No." "I never met him." "My office is on the third floor." "Drop by anytime." "Just a small chat." "That's his number." "He can probably work on it next week." "You don't know who scratched the car?" "No." "I haven't found that out." "I did actually see some person there Saturday night." "Really, what person?" "A woman." "And was she scratching the car?" "I didn't see that clearly." "What is this?" "Did you see something or not?" "I saw no-one by the car." "I didn't see anyone do this or such." "When I came home that night," "I saw that woman there." "What woman?" "The one they're looking for." "Birgitta?" " Yes." "I just wanted to tell you before I let the cops know." "When was this?" "Around midnight." "Perhaps, you want to tell the police yourself?" "You knew that women better than I did." "Could she describe him?" "Whom?" "The police who came to check out the computer." "Yes, yes." "Tall and handsome with a scar on the back of his hand." "Tall and handsome with a scar on the back of his hand?" "Yes. that's what she said." "Hello." "How old is she?" " Seven." "Did she say tall and handsome with a scar on the back of his hand." "Tall and handsome with a scar on the back of his hand." "OK, I'll get someone on it." "Thank you." "I have to send you into Kópavogur." "There's a man there who claims to have seen something" "So you were with your husband at the party at Broadway?" "Yes." "And did you meet Birgitta?" "It wasn't much." "What were you doing there?" "Having a night out." "And of course they were giving out the marketing awards." "Was Birgitta expecting to win an award?" "No." "I don't think so." "Steini was nominated for software he released last year and has done quite well." "The software he and Birgitta developed together?" "Was Steinar going to steal the idea and take all the profit and award for himself?" "What's with the damn accusational comments." "Let me see your ID again." "Naturally." "When are you expecting?" "Any moment now, Guðni." "Not that it's any of your business." "And did Steinar win the award?" "Yes." "Do you think the guy's really a cop?" "Mr. tall and handsome with a scar on the back of his hand?" "I don't have a scar on the back of my hand." "Are you tall and handsome?" "I'm known to be, yes." "This isn't a joke, Árni?" "Who said I was joking?" "We must get to work." "Do you know where mommy is?" "No, my dear." "That's why daddy contacted the police." "I woke up and saw you were gone." "I heard you come back again." "When?" "When mommy disappeared." "But I told the police you were asleep the whole time." "Didn't I do good?" "And you saw Birgitta Vésteinsdóttir there on Saturday night?" "Yes." "I saw her exiting the building." "Around midnight, I think." "You're totally sure it was her?" "Yes." "I think so." "Seen her may times before." "Always hanging around with him before he picked up that younger one." "You say someone scratched his car?" "Yes. but I didn't see her do it." "You saw Birgitta exiting the building and then what?" "She sat into a car and was driven away." "Wait, was someone with her?" "That's what I saw." "What kind of car was it?" "Some Japanese ride." "Nothing happened." "What do you mean?" "Nothing happened." "I'm married, with two children, and I'm not having an affair with my coworker." "Now you have to get your act together regarding your poor girlfriend and conversation over, case closed." "This doesn't concern her at all, Katrín." "Case closed." "From now on we only talk about work and nothing else." "Yes, but we're friends, right?" "No." "No, and you must get yourself a car." "I can't pick you up anymore in the mornings." "I..." "I'll be your superior tomorrow and... goodbye." "Goodbye?" "What do you mean?" "Shall I throw myself out while we're still moving?" "Did this Óskar Marinóson say that Birgitta was wandering around Steinar's house Saturday night?" "Yes." "And this Óskar was sure it was her?" "Yes." "He also said someone had scratched Steinar's car." "but he was sure it wasn't Birgitta." "Was someone with her?" "That's what he said." "What kind of car was it?" "He said he didn't quite know." "Some small car." "I wouldn't be too sure." "What do you mean?" "Didn't you say this was Óskar Marinósson, round, bald, with a grey beard?" "Yes, quite." "You hopefully knew who you were talking to?" "What do you mean?" "You were talking to Skari Mar." "Who is that?" "You're such puppies." "I'm sorry, Guðni, but I've never heard Skari Mar mentioned." "Óskar Marinósson, I didn't realize it myself." " No." "It's fundamental you should at least know who you are interrogating," "It could make a difference if the person involved has a long list of felonies." "Who is this Skari Mar?" "Skari Mar is an old distiller and car mechanic." "He's been laying low these last years, but he knows everything about cars." "So if he saw her drive away, then he knows exactly what kind of car it was. what colour and model." "Guðni, you'll take care of this." " Naturally." "Árni." "Has something come out of the ad placement?" "No, it's just some game consoles people are trying to unload on me." "But the lines are open." "Do you keep the distilling equipment in here Skari?" "I gave that up a long time ago." "Good for you." "I've also gave up smoking a long time ago." "Anyway, I'm looking for a car." "To be exact, the one you said you saw outside your place on Saturday night." "I was just saying it was some Japanese ride." "Is your moonshine equipment in there?" " Hey." "Those damn cars are all the same." "They're not and you know that quite well Skari." "I just saw it from the rear." "OK." "A Japanese ride you say, yes?" "Quite a handsome car." "New paint job?" "Hey, hold on." "OK." "OK." "It was a grey Renault Megan." "Why didn't you say so right away?" "Don't know." "Force of habit perhaps." "Since you've started talking, who scratched Steinar Ísfeld's car?" "Some guy who was with her." "What guy?" "I don't know." "Dark, long hair." "Small ponytail." "Darkhaired with a ponytail?" "Why in the world did you tell that to Steinar before you told us?" "It was his girl, who was snooping around." "Let me rephrase the question." "Why in the world did you think Steinar would pay you to shut up." "He said it was a dark haired man with a ponytail." "Not many people to consider." "How long will you be?" "Half a month." "You'll finish this won't you?" "Yes." "You just have to get Guðni to understand right away who's boss." "Then why did you chose me, if you're so worried." "I'm not worried." "I just want to find this woman hopefully alive." "Yes, that goes for the both of us." "If the dark haired man with the ponytail is Kristinn Grétarsson then he wasn't asleep in his bed like his daughter told us." "No, that's why she found it necessary to tell us that specifically without being questioned, that she woke up and saw her father in bed." "Maybe she's a little liar." "Katrín." " Yes. hi." "This is Agnes, Árni's girlfriend." " Yes." "Hi, listen..." " Hi." "Has Árni returned you the earring?" "Earring?" "Yes, didn't you lose an earring?" "What?" "No." "No." "I'm sorry, I..." "I..." "Bye." "What you need to do is take these numbers, then use the same..." "Hello." " Hello." "Come in." "Close the door behind you." "So." "How do you like it downstairs with Stefán?" "Just fine." " Aha." "I'm of course just starting out." "Plenty to do." "I can't claim otherwise." "At least not now." "You're deep in some murder investigation?" "Yes." "It's not a murder case for sure." "This is a murder case." "Birgitta won't be seen again alive." "Oh, do you know something about that?" "I know all sorts of things." "I run a department that few people know what does." "It was set up by the current minister of justice, everyone's here superior." "The difference between me and for example Stefán is that I have a direct connection to those up there." "A better connection then Svavar even." "I see." "And I want to offer you to come and work for us." "It's not a large department, but those who work here have a certain freedom." "I trust them to work out their cases on their own terms." "The salary is also better here than elsewhere in the building." "Why are you offering me this job?" "If you accept the offer." "then your first assignment would be to help us find a laptop." "Birgitta's laptop." " Exactly." "Why are you searching for this computer?" "Birgitta was working on a certain assignment for us when she disappeared." "What assignment was that?" "That's classified." "And what, I just quit working with Stefán tomorrow and start working up here?" "No, you'd keep working downstairs under the same pretences as before." "The only thing you'd need to do was to tell me first if the laptop would surface." "Stefán doesn't necessarily need to know about that." "So you're asking me to betray my partners?" "No no." "We're all constantly working together for the same goal." "Will you consider this?" "... and motorists are asked to take the Reykjanes road to avoid the traffic jam." "The police are still searching for Birgitta Vésteinsdóttir who was last seen at Broadway last Saturday night." "Birgitta is 37 years old. 172 cm tall." "Blue eyed with long wavy blond hair." "She wore a black jacket and a black dress." "Those who have seen her are asked to inform the police." "Thanks for not buying any cheese." "I dropped her off at Steinar's." "and she went in while I waited in the car." "What was she doing there are Steinar's?" "Getting some copies or something, I don't know." "What did you do in the mean time?" "I scratched his car." "Why did you do that?" "He deserved it after everything he's done to me and Birgitta." "What had he done you and Birgitta." "He stole from her ideas from jobs she'd been working on, which he had nothing to do with." "What work was that?" "For example, she created a really good marketing software." "Was that the software Steinar won an award for?" "Yes, exactly." "What did you do later that evening?" "I dropped Birgitta off at Broadway." "I swear I haven't seen her since." "Are you completely sure you were telling me the truth, about you waking up and seeing your daddy asleep?" "I really did wake up." "And what did you see?" " Nothing." "You didn't see your daddy sleeping?" " No." "Wasn't he at home?" " No." "Weren't you afraid." "Did you call someone?" "No." "Just went back to bed and went to sleep." "There. there." "He did it." "I know it." "Belt?" "Hi, this is Agnes." "I can't come to the phone, but leave a message." "Yes. hi." "Where are you?" "Anyway, I'll be home soon." "Bye." "Time to get the hell out of here." "Not much happening from here on in." "Have you seen my Liverpool mug?" "I threw it away." "It shouldn't be seen here." "You threw it away?" "No, damn it." "Are you kidding me?" "Hello?" "[BYE]" "Hello?" "How is it?" "Does one have to do everything himself?" "How in the world could we have missed this?" "Sometimes it's right under you nose the whole time and no-one sees anything." "Find anything?" " We've just started." "We'll take it back to the station and check it out thoroughly." "Look." "The floor is covered in soot." "Really?" "And no laptop?" "No, unfortunately." "No laptop." "OK." "I'm in."
