Acquitted (2015–…): Season 1, Episode 9 - Løgnen - full transcript

- They're going to move the firm.
- You're kidding me.

PWG owns what you've produced
up until now,

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

Remember the skin
under Karine's fingernail?

It might be possible
to get a full DNA profile now.

What if the result
isn't what you think it is?

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

You've never even considered
that you got the wrong guy.

I sleep like a baby at night.
Do you?

- You think my dad did it.
- That has nothing to do with us.

- You've lied for 20 years.
- I was here when you arrived!



- You were full of blood!
- Is that why we're leaving?

So that you can avoid prison?

I hope I never turn out like you.

- Why should I believe you?
- I have evidence.

The T-shirt he wore.

I know where it is.

Have you found anything?

Have you found anything?

- You can't be here! Leave.
- I just want to know

- if you've found anything.
- Leave voluntarily,

or I'll get someone to take you.
Come on, get going.

I don't understand
what's taking them so long.

Finn said that Erik had given him
a very accurate location.

How can you be so calm, William?
We'll have the evidence soon.



We don't know yet.

That T-shirt might have decomposed,
if it existed at all.

No, Finn said it's in a plastic bag.
Then it's not decomposed.

- Finn? He says the strangest things.
- No.

We're doing much better now,
aren't we?

Think to the future, William.
Start living!

Don't promise Eva too much.

With Erik's statement
and the T-shirt, we'll...

You haven't found it.
She can't bear a new disappointment.

There are no guarantees.

If she's to get on with her life,
you have to close the case.

Eva's problem is
that she's always been alone in this.

Have you found it?

- Have you been summoned?
- They will not tell me anything.

This is hopeless.

Right now,
I just want to get it over with.

- If they find it...
- I don't think they will.

No, but if... Then it's me.

We have to talk to Erik again.

- Are you insane?
- It's our only option.

- Start a new company?
- If we want to survive.

- Solar Tech belongs to PWG.
- PWG will flag out to Asia.

If Aksel's so sure about this,
why hasn't he told me anything?

Because he's still their employee.

He told me this in confidence, okay?

What kind of relationship
do you have?

- He's married.
- I'm aware of that, Lars.

- Are you aware of the risks?
- Yes.

I can't do it without you.

Aksel had never told me this
unless it was true.

He has nothing to gain from this.

Aksel wants to help.
That's why he's back.

- Some help.
- Think about it.

Yes, but with new owners,
we have to expect some changes.

Yes.

Set up the roster
like you usually do. It'll be fine.

That's fine. Okay, thanks. Bye.

- What did he want, Erik?
- Nothing.

- Erik, don't talk to him.
- No.

Erik, don't. He could be dangerous.

- What are you so afraid of?
- Don't. They'll come back.

They'll come back!

Get your act together.
There's no "they", mum!

Fine. I'm sorry.

It'll be fine, mum.
Make some coffee. I'll be right in.

Hi, this is Tonje Sandvik.
I can't answer the phone right now,

-so leave a message.

Hi. It's me again.

I don't think you gave
a false statement, but...

I don't know what to...

I don't know
what's wrong with your brother.

I asked for assistance from Oslo.
We've searched for your T-shirt.

I interviewed your brother for hours,
and now he says he made it all up.

He stood in front of me and cried.
He was telling the truth.

- I know it was true.
- What are you doing?

- This helps your case.
- I just want answers.

Erik has retracted his statement.
There is no T-shirt.

Yes, but you said
his statement was credible.

It's strange to do all this
just for fun.

Yes. Bye.

- Eva, don't talk about that now.
- Have you poured the wine?

- Hello!
- Hi.

- Hello.
- Hello. How nice to see you.

Hi.

- Hi.
- Yes, please.

- Do you want some help?
- Where did your boy go?

- He went straight to his mum.
- Cheers.

- How are you?
- I actually feel very calm.

At first, I wasn't sure
if it was worth it,

but now I'm certain that
this investigation is far from over.

- Shouldn't we wait for Helene?
- No.

- No?
- Let's eat while it's hot.

Yes. Please, dig in.

Look at this.
It's pretty nice. Yes.

Hey, Charlotte's having
a party this weekend.

- Do you want to come?
- If I want to come?

How does she feel about it?

I don't give a toss
about what she feels.

You should come.

Are you a complete idiot?
Do you know what I think?

- You showed them the wrong place.
- It didn't happen. I lied.

- Why would you lie about that?
- I was pissed.

You said I killed Karine. You bashed
me so hard I ended up in hospital.

I don't believe you.
You told the truth.

What the fuck do you want?

We're going to go to the police.
Tell them where you hid the T-shirt.

I'm not going there again.
Do you want a conviction?

Tell me.

You don't have to go to the police,
but you have to tell me.

I have to know what happened.

If I did it, I have to know. Okay?

I can't stand this any longer.
Please.

I have to know.

Where's the T-shirt?

This is between you and me, right?

You were right about what you said

about our plans for an apartment
complex being too grandiose.

Of course.
But we have to do something.

- Perhaps not right now, Inger.
- Let her speak.

Well, my dream...
You probably remember this, Lars.

Ever since I came to Lifjord,
I've dreamt of creating

a welcoming family-run hotel

with locally produced food
and great ingredients in the kitchen.

And I also want luxurious bedlinen
in Egyptian cotton.

The hotel
should be named Hansteen Hotel.

So you want us to invest
the family fortune in your hotel?

No, not in my hotel. In your hotel.

In any case, we're talking
small sums of money, so...

For every empty bed,
with or without Egyptian cotton,

- we're losing money.
- You said you were positive.

I mean, seriously.

A hotel in this tiny village
is simply not tenable.

But you do what you want.

I can't stop you from
throwing money down the drain.

I don't want to create
any more conflict.

No. But I can't support
something I don't believe in.

What about you, Lars?

There are other things that are more
important right now than the hotel.

Inger. You can't talk to mum
about Egyptian cotton.

- If you just had supported me...
- Please.

I hate it when you just ignore me.

It's as if I don't exist
every time she's in the room.

- It's an idiotic project.
- What?

Who will travel from across the globe
to eat locally produced food?

Did you think that we would start
a family business together?

- What's up with you?
- Solar Tech's sinking.

If I don't do something drastic, I...
I need mum's support.

And you don't get that
if you support me?

- No. Or yes.
- No. Run to your mum.

What a limp dick.

Kristoffersen woke us up. Remember?

I didn't even understand
that she was dead.

Not until I sat handcuffed
in the police car.

I just remember being pissed.
I remember...

I still felt pissed,
I just didn't know why I was angry.

When you told me what had happened,
everything fell into place.

I understood that you were right,
even though I hoped you weren't.

- Mum, please listen.
- It's completely unrealistic.

Legally speaking,
PWG isn't entitled to

more than
the results that exist today.

- He wants to sabotage us.
- Why would he do that?

- PWG has taken him off the case.
- That's how he is.

- Mum, please. For once...
- I tried to warn you.

Forget him for a moment. This is
our chance to take the control.

If we succeed,
we can start over from scratch.

If you had listened to me from
the start, we would have had control.

I'm just asking for advice.

I took that job because I had to
think about myself and my family.

You want to show that you
can stand on your own two feet.

Yes, something like that. Maybe.

Then you don't need my advice.

It might have decomposed,
or an animal could have dug it up.

It's gone.

I didn't dig as deep as this.

I'm sorry.

Are you sure
you don't want anything to eat?

I probably have something
in the freezer that I can warm up.

You have to eat.

- The police will ask questions.
- Aksel.

- No.
- We have to talk about it.

You should never have come back.

You shouldn't have been here.
You shouldn't have been born.

- Mum.
- But it's true.

You were an accident.

How can you say something like that?
Who does that?

- I don't understand. What?
- No, don't give me that.

What?

You're not ill, mum.

You're just mean.

Eva, it's Aksel.

It's the T-shirt. We found it.

I'll turn myself in.

It must have been me who...

It must have been me who killed her.

- I can't find any other explanation.
- Why?

I don't know. I can't remember.

That's not good enough. Explain why.

- I have to know why.
- But I...

It must have been
something she said or did.

She always made me feel
so fucking small.

Dad, don't do it.
I didn't mean what I said.

That's not why I'm doing it.
Listen to me.

This isn't your fault. Okay?

Hey. It's not your fault.

I never wanted to hurt anyone.
Least of all you.

If it was me who killed her, then...

- Dad.
- That's how it is.

I can't do anything about it.

Come here.

It'll be okay.

She was probably
going through a difficult phase.

She was so bloody stubborn. Intense.

She was sensitive.
Oversensitive, really.

I wonder what would have become
of her. An artist, maybe.

Well, nothing to do with economics.

I remember her first summer job.
She was distraught.

She gave back the wrong change
and came home and cried.

"Daddy, I don't understand
this calculator. I can't do this."

She was good at drawing.

I've been so wrong.

Dinner's ready, Erik.

- I've made potato dumplings.
- No, thanks.

Are you angry with me?

I just hate potato dumplings.

I do. I really do.

Erik.

- Are you leaving?
- Why would I do that?

Well, if your dad's
going to prison...

- What does your mum say?
- She can say what she wants.

- Where are you going to live?
- Here.

How's your dad?

When does the party start?

- We can't go, Tim.
- You don't want to be seen with me?

- It's not that.
- Then what is it?

Don't you understand
that things are different now?

- No.
- Cut it out.

I'm not him, Helene.

- Tim. Tim!
- Just go! We're over!

Can I come in?

I've been thinking.
It has to be all of us or no one.

How likely is it
to get everyone on board?

They're saying
they've solved the case.

Aksel.

You've probably celebrated already.

I don't believe it's him, either.

I never really did.

Have a seat.

We have the result.
The analysis of the t-shirt.

The blood is yours. Only yours.

There's no trace of the victim.

What does that mean?

You are free to go.

What about all the things Erik said?

Erik just said you came home
with blood on your t-shirt.

You fell.

You can go.

- He stood here and confessed.
- It's time to let this go.

- We had an answer.
- Come sit down.

- No. I can't sit still.
- Where are you going now?

- I'm going out.
- Out?

- I need some fresh air.
- I'll join you.

Please, William. I want to be alone.

- Eva, where are you going?
- I'm getting some fresh air, William.

Relax.

- Where's Tim?
- He's gone to bed.

- He's in bed now?
- Yes.

It was just a fuse. Or something
with the electrical earthing.

I think you should get someone to
look at the whole electrical system.

- Apparently, I was wrong.
- Hmm?

- I was wrong.
- You were wrong? Yes.

You were wrong.

Yes.

I was really wrong.

Yes.

- It isn't possible to be more wrong.
- No.

- Well?
- No.

I drove along
the hiking path as well.

I don't understand.

How soon can you call the police
when someone's missing?

I think it's a bit early.
Relax. She'll be back soon.

I shouldn't have let her go alone.
She was distraught. No shoes.

Dad, please calm down.

Has something happened?

We've been worried about you.

He's free. Again.

- There's nothing pointing at Aksel.
- What do you know about that?

They can't find any evidence.

- Then who is it?
- I don't know.

No, you don't know.
You know nothing about this.

- He's our only suspect.
- Shut up.

Lars.

I can't take it any more.
She's completely obsessed.

- Enough, Lars.
- No.

She decides everything.
She and Karine.

When we're to be happy,
when we're to be sad. Karine is dead.

I've been an idiot.

I have.

We could have ended up together
if I only had been a bit stronger.

Have you thought about that?
I didn't even like her. Karine.

Remember that day on the skerries
when you jumped for the first time?

I wanted to show off in front of you.

- Idiot.
- We started dating after that.

Not because of that.

Later that night, when we
were sitting around the fire,

Erik had injured his foot
on a shell or something.

You lifted him up.

You seemed so secure.

The other guys made fun of you,
but you just carried Erik

away from the others.

I couldn't hear what you said,
but you got him to laugh.

And you laughed and laughed.

Suddenly, you turned around
and looked at me.

With that big smile.

Do you want something to eat?

I'm not hungry.

I've been a lousy father lately,
haven't I?

Hey. Come here.

Do you have any advice
on how to heal a broken heart?

If it really hurts,
perhaps it's worth fighting for.

That's my opinion.

Do you want brownies?

- Brownies? For supper?
- Yes.

- Tonight?
- Yes.

It's been a long time. It's lovely
to see the both of you here.

- Maybe we should light the candle.
- There's no need for that.

No, but we should
have had some napkins.

Can you please
get some napkins, Aksel?

- Where do you keep them?
- In the second drawer.

And the peanut butter.
Don't you want peanut butter?

- Please get it.
- Do you want some?

- Of course he does.
- Yes, please.

- There.
- Thanks.

There's not much left.

- Hi.
- Is Mai-Britt home?

- Can't we do this another day?
- We're here to arrest her.

She called us. She's confessed.

Take care of Erik for me.
