Episode #1.2 (2015) - full transcript

Will the report

give final approval

for the glacier hotel project

or not?

What if something

was found up there

and we had to protect it?

Your prognosis is now

final stage palliative care.

You can go back

to the mainland, Henry.

Hey. I know you!

Your name's Jason.

Frank, come

here, he's all better.

♪ The river did come to me ♪

♪ Straight into my arms ♪

♪ I tried to caress it ♪

♪ But it ran

through my fingertips... ♪

♪ Water will keep running,

rivers will turn ♪

♪ Water will keep running

and rivers will turn ♪

♪ Water will keep running,

rivers will turn ♪

♪ Water will keep running

and rivers will turn. ♪

I chose a life of crime

in a town where there's none.

I studied criminal law

on the mainland,

came to Fortitude,

and married a policeman.

And we live

on the one place on earth

we're guaranteed a quiet life.

Our honeymoon was a night

of thrills and magic.

Eric took me up onto

the glacier in a tent--

or more a bivouac, really.

And the temperature fell

to minus 30.

So that night,

we saw the most spectacular

Aurora Borealis I'd ever seen.

"The fireworks of the gods,"

as we called it.

The heavens singing.

You can actually hear them,

you know, the Northern Lights,

outside the city.

And now we are building

a hideaway in the ice.

We are building a hotel

hewn into the glacier itself,

where lovers of the wilderness,

lovers of the Northern Lights,

or just lovers

can witness the wildest things

they'll ever see

from the safest place on earth.

I'm quite proud of that line

actually,

so I don't mind if you want

to use it in your brochures.

And here it is.

Excavation scheduled to begin

in two weeks' time,

and in six months,

we'll be ready

for our very first guests.

So thank you, and enjoy.

Sheriff Anderssen for you.

Dan?

Hildur.

Charlie Stoddart's dead.

What?

I'm sounding the bear warning.

Keep all the delegates

in the building!

Bear attack?!

Search the perimeter

of the property--

prints, spoor,

or blood trail.

If you see the bear,

shoot to kill.

What about him?

Go!

You'll stay

in the back of the car

until the officers return.

You think a bear did this?

For your own safety.

Hey!

The bear trail should lead

from the back of the house.

Don't let the dogs inside.

I'm dying of liver cancer!

What?

I'm dying of liver cancer.

Thank you.

Get out of here!

Before you set off

the alarm!

In the Research Center,

we have equipment

which could...

could significantly improve

Liam's chances of recovery.

Equipment?

Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment

can increase the viability

of reversibly damaged cells

by preventing hypoxia

and reducing edema.

Um, okay.

If that's what he needs, yes.

It's a research center.

It isn't set up

to treat patients.

It's experimental,

and there are risks.

Well, do you think

you could get Liam in?

We could make

an exception.

I'd need a signed consent.

Hello?

I don't expect you

to understand.

If a bear came in the house,

you'd be the first on its list.

Now, I'm going to keep you safe.

I have responsibilities

like you cannot imagine.

It's all right.

I love you.

Have you searched

the grounds for the bear?

Yes, of course.

You can't hear them coming,

you know.

Dan?

Oh my God.

Look at the wound pattern,

Margaret.

This wasn't done

by a bear.

Oh...

Hildur.

Oh my Christ, Dan.

Hildur, listen to me.

We have a very serious

problem here.

I don't think

this is a bear attack.

He's alive.

He's still alive!

He's arresting.

Cardiac massage.

Just put as much pressure there

as you can, yes?

Paddles, paddles, paddles!

Charging!

Clear!

Where's Charlie?

What's going on, Dan?

You shouldn't be here.

There's nothing

you can do here, Henry.

Go home.

Let me take care of this.

Go home.

Petra?

What's happening?

Professor Stoddart's been

attacked and left for dead.

At first, we thought

it might have been a bear.

What?

But now it looks like a murder.

So full forensics.

Murder forensics,

not bear forensics.

It's awful in there.

Go on, get in.

Hey, Mr. Sutter!

What now?

What's going on?

What are you doing out here?

Looking.

The hell are you

looking for?

You're driving

my dog nuts.

Hmm?

What were you doing

earlier this evening?

What?

Something wrong?

You were doing something

you shouldn't.

Yeah?

Five minutes

while I get my gear.

Am I speaking to the same

detective who was out here?

DS Littlejohn, investigated

the Pettigrew death?

No, no, please listen.

Listen, Billy Pettigrew

wasn't eaten by a bear.

He was murdered.

Now Professor Charlie Stoddart

has been murdered as well.

The Governor is responsible.

Her sheriff killed them both.

Hey!

Somebody!

Hello?

Natalie should've

been there too!

He thinks she was invited

to dinner too.

I know where she lives

and I'm on my way.

Find her and bring her in,

Ingrid.

Swabs, clipping, fingerprints.

She's not a suspect, is she?

Ingrid, it's important

we can rule Natalie out.

Okay, I'm on it.

♪♪

Would this be something

you could feed to a rabbit?

Uh-uh.

A human being?

You could feed the rabbit

to the human being

and not bother

buying the aubergine.

That's not an option.

There's a bear in town,

Carrie.

Where's your dad?

He's at work.

Sometimes,

a bear comes into town

and then the police have to

carefully usher him out again.

There's 3,000 of them

and 713 of us,

so I tell you, if those bears

ever get organized...

Excuse me.

So, if you'll please

gather round.

Governor.

I've just spoken

to Dr. Allerdyce.

It was too late to save him.

Charlie Stoddart died

on the operating table

five minutes ago.

Governor Odegard,

I was hoping that we'd meet your

husband before we left tomorrow.

Is that going to be

a possibility?

No, I'm sorry,

Eric's indisposed.

Nothing too serious,

I hope.

No, he stood in a bear trap,

but he'll be fine.

What?

The pulse.

Yes?

It's right here.

Yes.

When you found him, you felt

for a pulse, didn't you?

Yes.

Here, at his throat.

And his wrist.

Here.

Yes.

You looked

into the man's eyes,

face to face,

like this.

Yes.

Nothing.

There was nothing.

He was dead when I found him.

No pulse,

no pupil response.

He was dead.

You're sure?

Yes, I'm sure.

Okay, gently.

Connected.

Mom?

Hey, kiddo, I'm here.

You're going to be

all right.

The doctor's looking

after everything, okay?

Mom, where is this?

Where am I?

Shh, you stay down.

Don't worry.

Hold him down.

Liam, this isn't

going to hurt.

It's gonna be all right.

Move out of the way, please.

Natalie?

It's me!

It's Ingrid!

♪♪

Dan, Natalie isn't home.

Her snowmobile is gone,

and it looks like she's

packed clothes for a trip.

She might have done a runner.

Groups of four!

Line up and listen

to Chief Anderssen.

Fast as we can now!

Come on, fast as we can!

Can we handle this?

Or you?

Do we have the resources,

or should I request assistance

from the mainland?

I can handle this.

You were drinking.

Hildur, I was off duty.

If the murder team come over

from the mainland,

they'll be looking at you,

Hildur, won't they?

Charlie wouldn't give you

the glacier.

Our missing girl's name

is Natalie Yelburton.

29 years old.

You all have her picture.

Many of you know her.

Friends of hers.

Before you leave here,

you must understand this:

Natalie Yelburton

could be a victim--

missing, lost, abducted.

You have to ask yourself

the question:

if she is worth the risk

to each one of you

that this search entails.

Myself, my team,

we have a job to do.

We signed up for this.

All of you,

look out for one another.

Okay, let's go!

Come on!

Let's go!

Move it out!

Hello?

Anybody?

I'm looking for Chief

Superintendent Dan Anderssen!

I have brought back

your fucking rifle!

Hello!

Dan Anderssen!

Motherfucker.

I just thought you should know

they've got a treatment

for frostbite

at the research center,

and I've brought Liam here.

I just thought you should know.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello, is everything okay?

Traditionally, they used wee.

Old lady's urine.

Oh, God, you've got

to be kidding me.

But nowadays,

it's fermented in ammonia.

Well, that's progress.

You have to wash the fish

thoroughly in fresh water

before you cook it,

or you could burn

your esophagus.

I bet.

So do you cook this, um...

Lutefiske.

For your husband?

Once.

He wouldn't eat it.

So what do you do?

Wait, let me guess.

Travel industry?

You know, the one thing

that I don't understand

about Fortitude

is how the people there

endure the dark months.

I mean, the isolation,

the cold,

the desolation,

the loneliness.

Oh, it's never lonely.

No?

Well, the people

who live there,

most of them share

an understanding.

What about?

You look out

for the wind chimes.

Okey-dokey.

Am I going to have a lawyer?

You haven't been charged,

only arrested,

so you're not entitled

to a lawyer

unless or until

you are charged.

What if I need legal help?

I can give you any legal advice

you might require.

I thought you said

you were the governor.

I'm also

a trained lawyer,

and the chief of police

on Fortitude.

You two have it all sewn up.

Sound?

You need to record

all of this.

I know!

Is it recording?

I think it's recording.

So why can't we hear

what they're saying?

I don't know, I'm not

a fucking computer expert.

Is that how you got

that head wound there?

Okay.

So is it recording?

I slipped...

Now we can't hear

what they're saying again.

Ingrid, this is

crucial evidence.

It better be recording.

Where's the manual?

It is recording.

I don't know.

I think it might

still be recording,

we just can't hear it

out of these stupid speakers.

I hope so.

Red light, red light,

red light.

What did you think

you and the Professor

were going to talk about?

About the work I was doing here

and at university, and...

Actually, he mentioned something

about an environmental report

that he had written.

He was going to talk to me

and Natalie about it.

But I don't know

apart from that.

Thank you.

It's not him, is it?

No.

The boy was kneeling

on top of him

and there wasn't a speck of

Charlie's blood on him anywhere.

But until we have

somebody else in custody,

I'm not letting him walk.

It'll create panic,

like we've lost control.

I wasn't going to let him go.

And what about the girl,

Natalie?

She's not at home.

Her snowmobile's missing.

Yeah.

Gotta find her.

Oh!

How long?

They can't say yet.

They have to allow as much

tissue to recover as possible

before they can make

any decisions.

About amputation?

Yeah.

Where were you?

Where did you go?

Jules, listen.

I know what

you're thinking.

I don't know what to tell you.

I don't know what to say.

I don't know what happened.

I think what happened is

you went out to be

with another woman.

Is that right?

Listen, Jules...

Oh, my God, you were.

Go.

She can have you.

Just go.

Sheriff.

Elena.

Where were you

last night?

What?

Did you meet anyone

last night?

No.

Do you know

Charlie Stoddart?

The man who was killed?

Yes.

Did you know him?

No.

I didn't know him at all.

Okay.

Would you like a drink?

Danny.

How did London

get the news so quickly?

Look, I have 100% confidence

in the Fortitude Police,

but if London are kind enough

to offer us this level

of assistance and experience,

then obviously...

Every consideration.

Yes, thank you.

Up here?

Yes.

Do you need a hand?

No, I'm good, thank you.

Great.

Chief Superintendent

Dan Anderssen,

let me introduce Detective

Chief Inspector Eugene Morton.

Hi, Gene.

Dan.

Here, I have a...

This is a commission

rogatory.

It's a cross-border memorandum

of understanding

between Oslo and London

that formalizes my role

as a representative

for the interests

of the family

of the murder victim.

Right.

Ever since they opened

the research center,

there's been this accord.

Not with me.

DCI Morton is

a forensic expert.

He can provide invaluable

analytical skills--

skills and experience

he acquired

working with the FBI.

We have skills.

I'm sure you do.

And also with the International

Aviation Authorities

Air Crash...

...Investigation Unit.

Right.

We don't have

an air crash.

I've told DCI Morton

that we will extend him

every consideration.

All right,

if you'll excuse me.

Yeah.

I've never felt cold like this.

My ears actually hurt.

And I've never seen

a polar bear.

I've never eaten lutefiske.

What?

Lutefiske.

What about it?

I've never eaten it.

I've never tried it.

But there's always a first time

for everything.

And you've never conducted

a murder investigation.

All right, I'll make

a deal with you,

Chief Superintendent Anderssen.

If I'm right.

I'll leave

in a day or two,

but if I'm wrong.

I'll be on the next plane

back to London,

no questions asked,

no recriminations.

What are you talking about?

Outside Professor

Stoddart's house.

I bet there are wind chimes.

You know, in the home counties,

they have a similar signal.

Pampas grass in the garden

means that swingers

live there.

That's not something we have

in Fortitude.

What, sexual infidelity?

Pampas grass.

How did the dog die?

I shot it.

Do you have another one

of those suits I can use?

No.

Officer?

DCI Morton.

Hi.

Hi, London Met.

I'm here to assist

with the investigation.

Chief Anderssen wanted you

to take me down to the station

straight away.

Really?

Yeah.

Chief Anderssen said that?

Yeah, yeah.

He also said that

you're the best officer

to bring me up to speed.

Shall we?

Sure.

Okay.

Just straight down there.

You could not have been

more helpful, thank you.

My pleasure, sir.

Hi, I'm meeting

Trish Stoddart in...

She's in Dan's office.

Yes, good, thank you.

Oh!

So who are you really, then?

Let me introduce myself

formally, Trish.

I'm Detective Inspector Morton

of the Metropolitan Police.

But you're an American.

Yes.

So can you tell me

what the hell is going on?

Well, I hope so.

I mean, that's why I'm here,

to find out what's going on

and to look out for your best

interests in the investigation.

What investigation?

Nobody's told you?

Told what?

I've been told to wait.

Dan needed

to speak to me.

Okay.

Well, um...

Your husband Charlie is dead.

What?

What?

Somebody or something

assaulted your husband

in your home.

At any rate,

while they were

searching the premises,

it turns out your husband

was still alive,

unbeknownst to them.

He was left?

Yes.

For how long?

An hour.

And as soon as they found out,

they called an ambulance,

they got him to the hospital,

but it was too late.

And he died.

Dan's here to talk to you

about it now.

I'm very sorry.

I thought you knew.

I think we can rule out

the grieving widow.

Look, I need a room.

Um...

Please, can you just

get me a room?

I've messed everything up.

I heard something

happened to Liam.

Is he being flown out?

It's much worse than that.

Liam is too sick

to be moved.

Oh.

But look, just... please

just give me a room.

We can talk

about this after.

There are no rooms.

You can use my room.

Hi.

Starting without me?

Who are you?

DCI Morton.

From London?

Mm-hmm.

30 degrees softens up the dried

blood just about right,

and you don't want to use

too much pressure,

because you want to make sure

not to wash away

any secondary

contaminants.

Are you okay

taking notes?

So you're here to help?

That's right.

From London?

Mm-hmm.

But he was only declared dead

12 hours ago.

Mm-hmm.

So...

So how could you have

got here from London

to help with the post-mortem

if you would have had to leave

when he was still alive?

"If you would have had

to leave"

Your English is very good.

Okay, it's already apparent

that more than one

bladed implement was used

in the attack.

The striations here

in the ribs and the sternum

suggest a cleaver,

these long incisions here

are some sort of

stabbing implement,

and then these

triangular punctures

that are all over

the torso,

those suggest a third

assailant, and maybe--

maybe-- that this is some kind

of ritualistic murder.

Ritualistic murder?

What kind of ritualistic murder

would you say involves

a potato peeler?

Hmm?

Get out of here.

I can't do that.

Shall I continue with the

post-mortem examination, boss?

Please, Petra.

Actually, let me

take you through it

from the very beginning.

With this degree of entry,

cardiac output would be impaired

and blood flow

to and from the brain

severely compromised,

and this would mean that

the pulse at the victim's throat

would be barely perceptible.

Pupil dilation response

was next to zero,

and so he appeared dead.

Hildy.

What's the matter?

What, no one's told you?

Told me what?

Charlie Stoddart's

been murdered.

What?

I saw him on the floor,

and he was...

He was all...

He was completely split open.

Come here.

That's terrible.

Jesus Christ!

I know who did it!

Where are your cigarettes?

Right there.

Where?

They're not in your jeans.

Try my jacket.

Hey, what the hell is this?

That's mine.

They've got a man in

custody, but they're still looking.

This Professor's chest

was hacked open.

Imagine that.

Jason.

Jason, pick up, Jason.

For Christ's sake, Jason,

what have you done?

You know that

Jason isn't capable

of doing anything like that.

Then I have to speak to him.

You shoot to stop,

just like you would a bear.

I should have been

there, but I was with you.

Trish, we might have

found something incredible.

Something that's going to cause

a hell of a lot of trouble.

Is this what got him killed?

He was already

inside the house.

Dan was already there?

Yes.
