A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM

A costume party at the office?

Isn't that a bit... weird?

After what happened?

We can't stop living
just because things happen, right?

- But, hey, can you take it easy tonight?
- I always take it easy.

- With alcohol, I mean.
- Oh, will you relax?

You have to chill.

If everyone were like me when drunk,
how awesome would the world be?

We should get you a Valium.



Then you wouldn't worry so much about it.

Perhaps.

This is just so wrong.
I'm in charge of our fairs,

so I should be the one to...

Of course, Arthur. But I think
you're being a little inflexible.

She's struggling a bit...

But you didn't hear it from me.
This is privileged information.

- Cheddar?
- Sorry?

No, I just...
Someone said something about cheddar.

Yes, help yourself.

Thank you.

- You're Pål, right?
- Paul. Nice to meet you.

And you're the new receptionist,
right? Kristina?

- Kristin.
- Sorry.



Yes, I'm Paul from...

Layout.

On my first day, I memorized
the names of all the employees.

Oh.

- Do you know everybody here?
- No, I've hardly talked to half of them.

Oh.

- I've only been here since January, so...
- Okay.

We should probably stick together.

- Since we're mice, you mean?
- No, since we're the new guys.

Oh, right.

One, two, one, two.

Once again, we're back
for the summer party.

You must be excited
to hear the spring numbers.

As you all remember, our goal was 17.

We ended up at 22.

So, that's great!

But...

we've had some reactions to the costumes.

But I have to remind you the theme was
decided in February, so...

Mm-hm.

But, of course, what happened last May...

- Well, it's very sad...
- What happened in May?

...when things like that happen.

She's still in a coma, poor thing.

William, Helene, maybe you have something
you want to share?

Since you were the ones
who worked most closely with Martha.

Just say a few words.

Um...

First of all, I'll start by saying...

No, I... okay.

I imagined it would be
a bit funnier than it turned out...

- Uh, yes.
- Oh, dear, that wasn't...

Of course, both William and I were sad
about what happened to Martha.

- It was a big... A big shock for us.
- Yes.

Um...

It's not right for anybody
to experience that.

To get their face mashed into a meatball.

Yes, but...
But now, people, now it's time to party!

Hi!

- Hi.
- Hi.

- You got your drink coupons, right?
- Um...

- No.
- You didn't? Then come with me.

- Okay? Okay.
- Good.

Whew.

You can't be sober
for your first summer party. Right?

This is where you get to know people.

This thing is so creepy. Ugh.

Oh.

Okay, it's totally crooked.
But a coupon's a coupon.

Let's see... I have four for you.

And then there are four for you.
There you go.

You know what? Since you're so new,
I'll give you two extra.

Thanks.

Oh!

You're so adorable.
You said it at the exact same time.

You know what? The two of you?

Was that me?

Oh, my God, William. I just have to...

Mine's going off, too.

- Seriously?
- What is it?

It's William in R&D.
He's sent me a photo of his trunk.

Really? Do you know William?

Hmm? No, just enough for a hello
in the morning

and a goodbye in the afternoon.

I just happened to see
that you have his number saved.

Oh, yeah. I saved everybody's number
when I started here.

- Right...
- Yeah.

But I don't know him.

No...

Do you?

No, we shared a table at lunch once.
He seemed nice.

Hmm.

What really happened to Martha?

- It was the week before you started.
- Was she alone up here?

No, she was working
with William and Helene.

The elephant and the hare, that is.

They took a break up here,
and she just fell.

Her face was so smashed,
her parents didn't recognize her.

But...

But...

- Doesn't that seem strange?
- What?

That she just accidentally fell off?
There are railings all the way around.

William and Helene said
it was just a bizarre accident.

But don't you think that
something doesn't seem quite right?

If they were up here with her,
couldn't they have...

William.

We were just talking
about the dreadful thing that happened.

Yeah. We wondered if maybe you could...

Okay... What's happening? I don't...

- William.
- Ouch.

William. Stop it!

What was that?

♪ I hear the ringing of my telephone
I stumble over the rug as I run to... ♪

- Ugh.
- Hmm?

What a creepy guy.

What's his deal?
That's not okay behavior at a work party.

Ingelin? Could we have a word with you?

Yikes! There are mice in here!

Just kidding.

We were just talking about Martha.
Do you know what happened?

Ingelin knows everything.

But Ingelin can't say
anything, because she's bound by...

an NDA when it comes to...
internal conflicts.

Mm.

- Conflicts?
- Mm.

So, there was a conflict?

You're smart, you little tease.

Do you get it? Teasing little mouse.

No. You'll get nada from me.

Mm. Nothing.

Not a thing.

It's you.

Tease.

Shall we...

Yes, I'd love to.

- Wine?
- Yes.

Two glasses of wine, please.

White.

Thanks.

- Thanks. Well, cheers.
- Cheers.

- So, I was thinking about Martha.
- Yes?

- What was she like?
- I never talked to her.

I saw her in the cafeteria sometimes.
She was always by herself.

And then one day she falls off the roof,
while two coworkers just watch it happen?

Don't you get the feeling
they're hiding something?

- It is a bit strange.
- I find it a bit... exciting.

It's like we're detectives
trying to solve a mystery.

- You know?
- Yeah.

- No one is telling us...
- There's the new girl.

- Do you want to see my trunk, too?
- Ronny, seriously.

- It's hard being an old pig these days.
- Yeah, okay.

Oh, well.

So, anything exciting going on here?

No. We were just talking about Martha.

Mm-hm.

Martha? What... What about Martha?

Well, we're new. Nobody tells us anything.
Do you know what happened?

Well, I don't know much about it...

Except that she was bullied.

- What?
- Here, at work.

She was bullied?

- It could just be rumors.
- Who bullied her?

- Well, I...
- Was it William and Helene?

William and Hele...? You think?

William is so much fun at parties.

That's not funny.
Steinar, is this acceptable?

No, no, of course not.
William, go grab a glass of water.

- No, no. William, William.
- That... That... Stop it!

Jesus Christ.

The only reason I know about it is because
someone told me about that picture.

What? What picture?

Nasty stuff. Horrible.

Just a couple of days before she fell.

- It was Hilda who found it.
- And who's Hilda?

Uh... the squirrel.

Yes.
Yes, I'm the one who found it.

Let's see.

It's not here. Let's see.

Here it is. This one.

I found it on the shared printer.

Oh, my God, how incredibly mean.

Yes, and it's even worse
because she did look like him.

But who sent it to the shared printer?

Nobody knows.

Nobody. But...

But I got the feeling that management
tried to shut the whole thing down.

Like they were, well, protecting someone.

- Really?
- Yes.

Keep this between us,

but there are some here who are

not very well behaved, if you ask me.

Stop it.

Stop! Are you going to stop him, Steinar?
Look! Now I'm soaking wet, too.

- Okay, so, hypothetically speaking...
- Yes?

If William did make the Gollum image...

He might still have the image saved.

- You know which desk is his?
- No.

Shit, what was that?

What was that?

Something broke, that's all.

Is that William's desk?

It's Helene's, too.

- They always work as a team.
- Maybe she was in on it.

Maybe.

Okay. Um...

"Gollum-Martha."

Jesus Christ.

That is so mean.

Helene was in on it.

Yeah.

This is evidence.

Ingelin mentioned some conflict.

And Hilda said management
tried to cover it up.

Mm.

Poor thing.

What are you doing?

- We...
- We, um...

Um, we...

Uh...

We just, uh...

We found your images. "Gollum-Martha."

Uh... those aren't mine.

They're on your computer.

- William made them. He sent them to me.
- So, you did this together?

Oh, my God.
It was just for laughs.

Nobody was meant to see them.

Why did you send it to the shared printer?

I went to get it.
But all of a sudden Hilda...

Be honest now.
What happened on the roof that day?

- What are you saying?
- We're not buying it.

- We don't believe Martha just fell.
- We think she jumped.

Huh?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

She tried to commit suicide
because you bullied her.

Yeah.

She attacked us.

What? Martha attacked you?

Yeah, well, she...

She was in love with William.

When he rejected her, she got all weird.

She was convinced something was going on
between William and me.

- And that day on the roof...
- Yes, what happened?

Well, she just came at us.

I don't know what she wanted, but she just
charged ahead. And we jumped to the side.

But she just continued on,
and then she just plunged over the edge.

That's what happened.

We didn't try to kill her.

Besides, you can't prove anything.
I'll delete the pictures.

And then you'll have nothing.
So, watch out, okay?

Yeah.

I have this.

- Ingelin?
- We need to talk about the May incident.

- No comment.
- What if we talk to Steinar?

Steinar...

Pfft.

Steinar stuck his head
in the sand, as usual,

and shoved the whole case over to me.

- But I'm not allowed to say anything.
- Okay. But, Ingelin, can you just listen?

- Shh.
- Take a look at what's on here.

- Oh.
- Ingelin...

- Can you take a look at this thumb drive?
- Shh. Hush.

Finally, we can talk in peace.

At least I deleted those pictures.

It was really creepy.

Creepy little mice. Or, they're not mice.
They're more like rats.

And to think I gave them extra coupons.

William? What are you doing?

What?

"Finally we're alone."

But, William...

Quit it.

Are they making out?

Is that William? Isn't he married?

Look at that.
They're planning how to get away with it.

Do you know the best part
about being a receptionist?

You have the key to every room.

- We can lock them in.
- And then we show everyone the images.

"I just want to say..." What?

"Since it's almost summer..."

"And in summer,
you're meant to be honest..."

Oh! Is this like in Love Actually?
That scene with...

With those notes.

William?

Hey! No, no.

The projector is my domain.

Yes, I know,
but we have something to show you.

Then you should have brought
your own projector.

- But everybody has to see this.
- We don't think Martha had an accident.

We believe she tried to kill herself
because she was bullied.

By Helene and William.

What?

Yes. Take a look.
We found these on Helene's computer.

Okay, what in God's name
are you rambling about?

You said it yourself, Ingelin.

There was an in-house conflict
that management tried to cover up.

Are you out of your minds?

"You are a... filthy whore."

Do you think this is funny?

Because I don't think it's funny at all.
Filthy whore? You're the filthy whore.

Oh, Jesus Christ.

So, she wasn't bullied?

No. I can guarantee you she wasn't.
It was the other way around.

Helene and William were terrified of her.

Martha was a psychopath.

Just look at her.

AND NOW I'M GOING TO BREAK YOUR FACE

This is uncomfortable.

Just quit it. This isn't funny anymore.

There's blood.
There is blood everywhere.

In the bathroom.

What are you saying?

William is dead.

But then who's the elephant
in the copy room?

Martha...

No!

Fucking psycho bitch!

Help!

No! No!

No, no! Help! Help!

Help!
