Acquitted (2015–…): Season 1, Episode 8 - Flukten - full transcript

I've always had the feeling
you were carrying a secret.

Why did Erik change his statement
about the night of the murder?

It has never crossed your mind
that it could be someone else.

Åse! Hey, Åse!

- It's a big ask. I understand that.
- You want to buy me off?

Not a penny of the family fortune
will go into that hotel.

Make up your mind.

- Where did you find the photos?
- At Erik's.

He's in intensive care.

Your brother. Don't you remember?

You hit him multiple times
after he had lost consciousness.



- I don't understand...
- You almost killed him.

He was the one who took
the pictures of Karine. He's lied.

- He was a little boy.
- This whole time.

He was sleeping in his room
when Karine was killed.

Your mother confirmed that.

You're lucky. You could
have become a killer. Again.

How are you?

But Finn,
he's destroyed your life, too.

Your wife left you because you worked
so much. You just let him leave?

No formal complaint has been made.
This does not impact your case.

Sure it does.
This has to prove that he's violent.

- Yes, we will use this against him.
- So do that.

- I'm waiting for the DNA result.
- That has to be enough evidence.

- If it's his DNA.
- Finn, of course it's his.



- It's not conclusive.
- What are you saying?

Jesus Christ!
Then no evidence is conclusive.

Eva, we're building a case.
We need several elements.

- Step by step.
- Okay.

- What does Erik say?
- We'll interview him later.

- So do it.
- I will.

Do you think he killed her?

I don't know.
I don't know what to believe.

He was younger than you,
and he had an alibi.

So did you,
but people still think it was you.

- Let them believe.
- But it wasn't you.

It doesn't matter.

What about the photos?

I don't know.

I attached too much importance
to them. I don't know any more.

So you're just giving up?

- Pack your things.
- Where are we going?

Home? But...

- Dad.
- Just pack your things.

- What's this?
- In such a large system,

it's important
to get a synergy effect.

Do you believe in what you're saying?

What's the alternative?

- Hi. Nice to see you again.
- Yes, nice to see you.

Did you get a chance to look over
the list of proposed board members?

- Yes, I've talked with Junior.
- Steinar Jr. Good idea.

- Yes, but he's a bit sceptical.
- We need a critic.

Perhaps we were a bit rash.

The last few years, many similar
projects have been initiated in town.

More than I was aware of. They've
gone belly up, one after the other.

We made a deal.

Deal schmeal. It was a preliminary
brainstorming to get you going.

- We've bought a hotel.
- You've bought a hotel, William.

What kind of person are you?
Your own brother?

- Mum. We're leaving now. I just...
- You should never have come.

You have to tell her
about the photos.

- Don't...
- What?

Nude photos that Erik took.

Have you known?

- She made him. It wasn't his fault.
- Mum.

She had everyone wrapped around
her little finger. You included.

Jesus Christ,
why haven't you mentioned this?

It didn't have
anything to do with the case.

Have you lied for his sake? You told
the police that he came home.

You told them that he came home
at midnight and went to bed.

Was that true? Was Erik at home the
whole night when Karine was killed?

Mum!

I just couldn't do it.

What would you have done?

No one wants to think that
of their own brother.

- Now he doesn't even have an alibi.
- I've received a job offer.

Santec. Singapore.

What's up?
They know we're a team.

- Why not everyone?
- Degang?

- Don't accept.
- Why not?

- It doesn't affect Solar Tech.
- Don't do it. It might be

- a first step towards reflagging.
- But you've given us a guarantee.

- Aksel?
- I'll fix it.

I've ended it with Kjetil.

- So?
- He's an idiot.

- They're all idiots.
- Your grandmother, too?

You think dad did it,
but you weren't even born then.

Everyone's said it was him.
Grandma, dad.

It's always been like this.

- That has nothing to do with us.
- It wasn't him.

I mean it, it wasn't him.

Okay.

- You chickened out?
- Not here.

It's okay. We can still leave.
The car is packed.

- Just trust me.
- It will not happen.

You know how it is. You never
follow through with anything.

No, you're the one who's scared,
not me.

What are you going to do?
Go back to that psychopath?

Are you any better?

- You like it a bit rough.
- Stop it. Erik, stop it.

I don't understand.
How stupid are you?

Just go home. Take another beating.

Hi. I just wanted to know
how Erik's doing.

- Is he home?
- No.

I've bought him some flowers.
Maybe you...

- Hi.
- Oops.

Erik's not here now,
but he was discharged this morning.

He's not home now, so...

Ugh, I haven't done my hair yet.

Did he mention
that we've talked about his business?

I offered to help him get started.

It's hard to start a new business
nowadays, and I'd like to help him.

I don't have anything
to do with his affairs.

No. He's probably too proud.

I don't know.

You and Erik have had
to put up with a great deal.

Some of it might be my fault.

I'm really sorry about that.

You know, I had enough on my plate.

Yes, you had it the worst.

- He lives there.
- Does he?

- Yes.
- Where he used to play.

Yes.

The boys used to come
to our house all the time.

- I didn't mean to leave them to you.
- Don't worry about it.

I know it was difficult for you
during that period.

With the boys' father and everything.

I think you were strong.

But give him my regards,
and tell him to give me a call.

I almost forgot.
You've received flowers.

They're from Eva. It's strange.

She's much nicer
when you get to know her.

Look. There's a card, too.

What does it say?

Does she offer you money?
Don't be so proud.

- Don't be afraid to accept help.
- Stop nagging, okay?

- Go upstairs, mum.
- I'll go upstairs.

You do that.

Why did you do it?

- What happened?
- You think I did it.

- You're barking up the wrong tree.
- You've lied for 20 years.

- You and mum.
- I will not listen to this.

- You weren't here that night.
- I will not listen to this.

- You will not listen to this?
- I was here!

I was here when you came home!

You were completely hammered.
You had blood all over your body!

You had blood
all over your body, Aksel.

I had to shower you in the bath tub.

You were crying
and asked me to help you!

You asked me to help you, Aksel!

And you hugged me really hard.

You just hugged me hard...

So I didn't say anything.

I just told myself
it had never happened.

I can't take it any more.

I can't take it.

So just piss off and leave us alone.

- Hi. Are you ready?
- What about Erik?

No. Don't think about it. It's fine.

- Seriously, do we have to go?
- Yes.

We don't belong here, Tim.
Everything is just...

Besides, school starts soon.

Lars.

- Can you please listen to me?
- Fine.

You've been against this
from the start,

but I have
25 employees on the payroll.

William's asked me to give
an expense estimate,

but I can't make payments
from Hansteen Holding.

No, you can't.

- Do you have to do that right now?
- Yes.

I know I've been stupid,
but Steinar Lavik gave us his word.

I thought we could go to Eva
and get her to back us up.

- The bank will listen to her.
- Then go to Eva!

You put yourself in this position,
you and your fucking ego.

I know you want the hotel
to be nicer, me to be more handsome.

People should have better taste
and read better books.

- What are you talking about?
- It isn't like that here.

Do you know what I thought about
in prison when everything was bleak?

The first time I went to Trolltind.

When we were on the summit.
Do you know what you said to me?

- Solid wood.
- Solid wood.

You didn't understand
what I meant by that.

When you called
and asked me to come and help...

Well, I wanted to show you.

I'm sorry.

- Don't be too hard on yourself.
- No.

Yes.

Really? When can it be ready?

That quickly. That's fantastic.

Thank you so much, Finn.
Okay. Good bye.

- Yes.
- Stop it.

It's the DNA result.
We'll have it in two weeks.

What if it's not
what you're expecting?

- What if you're wrong?
- What if you're wrong, William?

- It doesn't matter. Aksel's leaving.
- What are you saying?

- How do you know?
- You got it your way.

- Are you sure?
- Yes.

He can't do that now.
I will not allow that.

What are you saying?

We have to find a way to stop him.

Not as long
as he's not charged with anything.

No, thanks. I'm fine.

But if he's charged,
can we get him back here?

We don't have
an extradition treaty with Malaysia.

Oh, Finn...

You know what,
this is incomprehensible, Finn.

What am I supposed to do?

Well?

You're insane.

Please don't leave me.

Of course Erik's lying.

He just seemed so honest.

And I don't?

Yes, of course.

But if he's telling the truth,
then I'm lying.

Or what?

Tonje.

- They're going to reflag.
- No.

- Or we.
- You're kidding me.

I've put Degang in charge,
so I don't have a say any more.

- Have you known this whole time?
- Yes. I took a chance.

- I thought it would work out.
- Aksel, I vouched for you.

- You can still accept the job.
- No.

This isn't just my project.
I have a team. It's our project.

I shouldn't say this, but if you
take your whole team and walk...

You can start a new company.
PWG owns your work up until now,

but they don't own
what's in your head.

It's been done before.
You are Solar Tech, Tonje.

PWG has been after
your expertise this whole time.

I'll just get sued.

Maybe. But it's your only chance.

What about you? If we were to do
something like this, we need you.

I can't.

I'll be fine.

Aren't you going to bed?

Hey.

- What's the matter?
- Relax.

- He's gone.
- Who are you talking about?

Tim. He's my boyfriend,
and I don't care what you think.

- You only think of your dead sister.
- No, Helene. Don't say that.

- Cut it out.
- Helene, you're 16 years old.

- You don't...
- You don't know anything about me.

- That's not true.
- Nothing.

- That's not true.
- Just go.

Aksel.

I've come to ask you to stay.

We'll get the DNA result
within two weeks.

I don't think it's too much to ask
for if you have nothing to hide.

I don't have time to be here
any more. I have to go home.

There was one thing I liked
about you when you were little.

You never gave up. Do you remember
when you learned to ride a bike?

There was a storm, and the wind
almost blew you and the bike away.

When did you become such a coward?

Wasn't that the reason
why you came back?

You wanted
to get to the bottom of this. Aksel.

Please. Maybe it'll be ready
in less than two weeks.

Maybe only one week.
Please, Aksel. You can't...

Can't you stay
this short period of time?

Well? Are you so scared of the result
that you have to run away?

- That's what you're doing.
- Get in the car.

Aksel, you're a coward.
You're running again.

You do understand that
that's what you're doing, right?

Aksel, you can't run away again!

Now that you can get an answer!

What are you doing here?

Did you know about it? The DNA test?

Yes. They're just re-analysing
some old samples.

Is that why we're leaving?
So that you can avoid prison?

I hope I never turn out like you.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to take it out on you.

I'm the one who's way off base.
I'll get my act together.

- Don't worry about it.
- I'm proud of you-

-for standing up
for what you believe in.

Good night. Sleep tight.

You've always had
too much responsibility.

Do you remember dad? At all?

I was in my room and thought
I'd never speak to him again,

but then he'd bring me presents
and tell me funny stories.

I knew they were made up,
of course, but...

But it was nice.

Because you laughed. Mum laughed.

So I thought it was normal.

Do you remember
when mum went to the hospital?

The fighting woke me up.
He was completely insane.

His eyes went black.
He threw her around.

Screamed that he would kill her.

And she fell down the stairs.

And that sound...

Everything went completely still.

Suddenly, he turns to me
and wants me to do something.

"Don't just stand there.
Do something."

Do you remember that picture
of the ambulance in the phone book?

When they arrived, he said...

If I'd just put away the toy
truck, this wouldn't have happened.

He blamed you.

How old were you? Four or five?

It was one
of the most cowardly, low...

You don't have
to lie to me any longer.

Is it true that they look alike?

Helene and Karine.

They sure do look the same.

But you never knew
what she was thinking.

People were under her spell.

One moment, she would make you feel
like the coolest guy in the world,

and the next,
you were a piece of shit.

So what happens now?

I don't know.

- And you're sure about this?
- Yes.

I've had
nothing but trouble from you, Erik.

You're not just after revenge,
after all he's done?

- No. That's not it.
- Then what is it?

I'm done lying.

- Why should I believe you now?
- Because I have proof.

The T-shirt he was wearing
that night. I know where it is.
