Fenris (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 3 - Bekreftelsen - full transcript

Should we check it for fingerprints?

Yes. We'll do that.

But there isn't exactly any doubt...

about what's happened here.

Now that this thing
with Daniel is confirmed.

Yeah.

Damn it.
He must have felt terrible.

Maybe you could go out there
and talk to her?

- Yes. I can do that.
- Good.

I'll just take a look around.

- Did you find anything?
- We've searched the scene, and...



there's no sign of a struggle,
not on him or inside the cabin.

There will be
a routine forensic autopsy.

But you understand that
this isn't a coincidence?

First Daniel disappears.
And now Dad is dead.

Like I said,
we will examine him to be sure.

But you have to secure evidence!

It's connected. It's obvious!

Dad left in a fucking hurry
because he felt threatened.

We...

We got the results of
the blood sample from the jacket.

And?

It belonged to Daniel.

I'm sorry, Emma, but...

if you want to talk to someone,
there's a crisis team...



A crisis team?

You are a crisis team!

She is convinced
that somebody killed him.

Her mother also went through
some rough patches, so...

this isn't easy for her.

Do you know her?

No, she moved away
when she was a little girl...

but everyone knew
that her mother was...

different.

- Was?
- Yeah, she died in a car accident.

But not everyone is convinced
it was an accident.

- Jesus.
- And now this.

It'll be nice to put
this matter behind us.

Where have you been?

Just at the cabin.

Did you sleep there?

Why did the GPS collar turn on?

Grandpa just had it lying there...

and it got switched on by itself.

Hm.

And what about Grandpa?

I have to lie down.
I'm so tired. I didn't sleep well.

Okay.

Sorry I'm late.
I had some wine last night.

To celebrate.

What's up?

It's Marius...

He killed himself.

Marius struggled for years.

All that crap
in the comment sections.

People hating on predators.

And then this thing
with Daniel on top of it.

There will be
a press conference later.

- About Marius?
- No.

About the jacket and Daniel's DNA.

I can cover it if you...

you think it'll be
too hard right now.

- We can't just hide.
- No.

Hey. Can I get you a Coke?

- Yes, please.
- Yeah?

Hey! What the fuck do you want?

I saw you yesterday too.

Okay. You're very clever, I see.

Keeping track of where people are
and where they walk their dogs.

Why were you staring
at Marius' house?

Do you know him?

I know Daniel.

And Marius.

Do you know where he is?

Daniel? He's in my room,

playing Minecraft.
He's having a great time.

I was talking about Marius.

- Here.
- What?

If you're gonna follow me,
you might as well walk the dog.

Come.

Marius!

Marius!

You said you didn't know anything.
You lied to my face.

- Marius?
- He's not here.

Where is he, then? Marius?

Marius!

When will he be back?

He's not coming back.
He was found dead last night.

What?

Oh, my God. I'm sorry. I...

- I didn't know. What happened?
- Well...

The police believe it's suicide.
But I believe he was killed.

Don't you find it strange that
Daniel disappears and then Dad dies?

- Then prove it.
- Yeah.

- I'm going to. I'll prove it.
- Find out what happened to him.

Yes.

What does your mom
think happened?

Um... Just that he's too big
to have been taken by a wolf.

That it could have
happened to a smaller kid.

But Daniel is too big. Too tall.

Yeah, the people in this town
are hysterical.

One girl in my class was so afraid
that she started carrying a gun.

And then it went off.

What? What happened?

The bullet passed through here.

She was millimeters from dying.

Hey! Where are you going?

- You smoke?
- Home.

- You want a smoke?
- No...

- Sure? I have some if you want.
- I don't smoke.

Wanna see how long you
can hold your hand under the flame?

- Huh? Come on.
- No!

Does it hurt now? Or now?

Does it hurt?
It smells like a burnt child.

Is it hot now? Isn't it hot?

This doesn't hurt, does it?
Does it hurt?

Does this hurt? That hurts.

What the fuck are you doing?

New boyfriend?

Make sure he doesn't get lost
in the woods. That would be sad.

Why do you hang out with him?

He's a loser!

And that game of dare you're
playing is incredibly childish.

Just fucking stop it.

I'll tell everything.

What did you say, bitch?
What did you say?

Let her go!

Hey!

- Are you an idiot?
- I'm not the idiot here.

- I'm not the idiot here!
- He's not worth it.

Is this the way you act?
For real?

Are you going home to fuck?
The three of you?

Are you all fucking?

SHOWING 6 RESULTS ON
SHE-WOLF U1416919 V983

Hello?

Hi.

How are you doing?

Good.
Look at the she-wolf's movements.

Wait, what date is this?
No, month... August!

Right?

You know that the female
and the male hunt together, right?

- I...
- The male isn't tagged,

but he largely follows
the same pattern as her.

In the period
when Daniel disappeared

they're not even close to the town.

They're 30 kilometers away.

And Daniel didn't walk
30 kilometers.

They're usually
40 to 50 kilometers away.

Daniel can't have walked that far!

- Put that aside.
- I can't!

I promised Daniel's mom I'd figure
this out. I can't let her down.

I've known your father for 30 years.
This is very painful for me too.

You realize that this
can't be right, right?

It's not possible.

- A wolf won't attack a boy!
- Listen...

- He's 170 centimeters tall!
- It's Daniel's blood on the jacket.

But that... That's not right.

If they hunted together,
which is possible...

- Maybe he was hurt.
- Fine.

So they dragged Daniel back to
the den? And fed him to them?

Okay. I'll just go there and look.

Maybe we missed something.
Maybe he's out there, half eaten.

That's bullshit and you know it!

This town is so blinded by
their hatred of wolves,

and that killed Dad and Daniel!

Well... There's no doubt now

that they found
Daniel's blood on the jacket.

No, it's pretty obvious now
what's happened.

It's just a matter of time before
we get the hunting permit.

Yes. But remember
to focus on Daniel.

What happened is terrible.
And have compassion for Kathinka.

- It's just that...
- What?

We've talked about this for years.

Having wolves this close...

Something bad was bound to happen.
And now it has.

Just remember to focus on
the compassion. And the grief.

Yes.

Yes, this is terrible for Kathinka.

For fuck's sake.

- Thanks.
- No problem.

Bye.

Do you have any food?

A sandwich or something?

Yes. Come.

Hi, sweetie. Come.

- Bye.
- Bye.

Hi. Hi.

- Hi.
- You have to ask to borrow it!

- Sorry!
- I'm going to be late now.

- I'm...
- I'm stupid. Sorry.

Okay, bye.

Thank you for coming.

I will let Sheriff Asbjørn Kolomoen
speak now.

Thank you for coming
on such short notice.

There have been rumors
going around.

And it has been reported
in Aftenposten that...

That discoveries have been made
that connects Daniel's disappearance

to the local wolf population.

Today, I can confirm that a sample
submitted to SNO three days ago

now has been analyzed.

The sample was taken off a piece of
clothing belonging to Daniel Belset.

It turns out to be wolf hairs.

The hair samples contained
traces of blood.

Today, Kripos confirms
that it is Daniel Belset's blood.

These findings are so conclusive
that we can say with great certainty

that Daniel Belset
was attacked by a wolf.

I will let Jo Ås from SNO give you
the details of the predator.

The hairs belong to the male
of the so-called Storås territory.

It is an adult male,
four and a half years of age.

The wolf was previously
tracked by GPS

and monitored by scientists locally.

It has not previously shown signs
of deviant behavior.

Geir Andersen, VG.

You said "no previous
signs of deviant behavior".

Does that mean
that it's impossible to predict

which wolves could become dangerous?

And do people that live close to
wolves have a reason to be worried?

A wolf hasn't attacked a human
in Norway in over 200 years.

And even that source
is controversial.

This is just a horrible tragedy.

It's not representative for
the wolf in the Norwegian fauna.

Mona Aslaksrud,
Hamar Arbeiderblad.

I have a question for
Mayor Anne Kolomoen.

Can you tell us how this has
impacted your community?

First and foremost,
it's a horribly tragic event.

And our thoughts
go to the next of kin.

But...

we stand together
in this community.

And I'm sure we will
get through this.

But, of course, this will leave
the bereaved with wounds...

that are impossible to heal.

But is this the result of
a misjudged predator policy?

Um, well...

This community...
has had to sacrifice a lot

because the authorities decided...

that there should be
a wolf zone in this area.

And this is a sacrifice...

no one should be forced to endure.

- Dagbladet...
- Hey. Hey!

Naim Karim, Østerdølen.

No remains have yet to be found.

The wolf scientists claim the jacket
with the blood and the hairs

showed few signs of a wolf attack.

How do the police explain this?

We're still searching for the boy.
We don't know that he's dead.

He might just be injured.

At the same time,
the local scientist is found dead.

Isn't that a bit... conspicuous?

No, that is a personal tragedy

and not the subject
of this press conference.

I ask you to respect
the privacy of his family.

I ask you to not publish
anything about this

until there's been issued
a formal statement.

Are you quite sure that Marius'
death was a personal tragedy?

Could he have been killed?

We found no signs of struggle
on his body or in the cabin.

The preliminary autopsy
report's ready soon.

I'm sure it's the right conclusion.
Just hold off a little.

Asbjørn.

Marius left me a voicemail
just before he did it.

There is no doubt he killed himself.

I really feel for his daughter.

She doesn't seem
to want to accept it at all.

It's a common reaction.
Total denial.

It can't be easy
being Emma Salomonsen.

That childhood, her mother...

Asbjørn, I think you have to
take care of something here.

- Hi.
- I found

a moose carcass by the den.

We know that a single wolf
can't kill a moose by itself.

So they must hunt together.

I also found
a package of ground beef there.

I hope no one's putting out bait

to try to shoot the wolf pups.

Someone is trying to eradicate
the local wolf population,

and Daniel and Dad got in their way.
It's that simple.

Where are you?

- I'm on my way back.
- I'll meet you there.

- There's no hunting permit.
- What?

I said,
there's no hunting permit.

Until then, I'll remind you
that poaching is illegal

and punishable by
up to five years in prison.

Are you listening to yourself?

Knut Ove should wait for a hunting
permit when his son's been killed?

I repeat, hunting wolves
is illegal...

and will be prosecuted.

Red Cross and the Civil Defense
are out there.

They're searching for your son.

I can't have a trigger-happy
hunting party running around.

Guys, can't you just wait
until tomorrow?

That's much better. There will be
a hunting permit. Guaranteed.

Drop the double standards, Anne.

Everyone knows you hate wolves,

even though you try to
look like a saint in the paper.

We do agree on the matter, but
taking the law into your own hands

only hurts the cause.

This is just stupid. And both you
and I and your brother know that!

What is it
that you're arguing about?

They...

They put food out in the forest.
And try to bait the wolf with it.

Then they compete to see who dares
to be out there the longest.

Is Daniel a part of this?

Daniel?

No.

He's arguing with them about it.

He says something like...

"The wolf can be domesticated."

Because it stops
being afraid of people.

And that's more dangerous for us.

Is that your class?

Yes.

That's Daniel.

That's Sunniva.

The girl that shot herself?

Yeah.

Marius was very kind to Daniel.

And...

Marius taught him everything
about the forest and nature...

Teaches.

Not taught.

We don't know what's
happened to Daniel yet.

No...

Oh well,
if the financing falls through,

at least we can sell the lumber
at market price.

That'll keep the farm running
for a year or two, hopefully.

- How did he press conference go?
- It went okay.

At least the first part.

Oh?

Marius has killed himself.

Shit.

This is a bit random.

Nordgarden spotted them
west of Struseberget.

- When?
- A little over a week ago.

A week ago?

After the search party,

the wolves could be far
into Sweden by now.

The wolf mafia uses GPS tracking.

It'd be a lot easier
if we got our hands on that.

We got the pups tagged
just in time.

The den's been vacated.
At least there's none there now.

We can analyze this at the lab.

Listen to me, Emma. Please.

Listen here.

Marius finally called me yesterday.

And...

I was unable to answer the call.

I know this will be...

difficult for you to hear,
but I think it'll be good for you...

well, to accept...

it.

Hi, it's Marius.

I just want to say I'm so proud
of everything we've done together.

The work...

This was my mission in life,
you know that.

But lately I've destroyed
everything we've been working for.

I've destroyed the trust
you had in me.

I can't live with that anymore.

Like I said, I'm sorry...

I'm so sorry.

- Are you a complete idiot?
- Listen...

Don't you see
that he was forced to say that?

Can't you see there's
a conspiracy against him?

I understand you, Emma.
I know what you're...

No, you shut up!
Just shut the fuck up!

- I know what you've been through.
- What world do you live in?

How can you be so fucking naive?

NOT ONLY DO I WANT TO
SHOOT ALL THE WOLVES

I ALSO WANT TO SHOOT THE WOLF MAFIA
AND THE CONSERVATIONISTS.

WOLVES ARE NOT A NATURAL
PART OF NORWAY'S FAUNA.

- Don't take it too personally.
- No...

But you know that...

he's had problems for years.

Harassment, slander,
and name-calling.

Even death threats.

This thing with Daniel was the straw
that broke the camel's back.

But what does this do
to the community?

What does it do to the area when
the debate is so black and white?

So much hatred, full of evil.

I've gotten so sick of it sometimes.

There have been times
when I just wanted to quit.

Do something else.

Start fishing full-time, or...

And get far away from the
smothering small-town feeling...

with all its trash talk
and war rhetoric.

Can I make a suggestion?

Mm-hm.

Buy some flowers.

Go to the daughter
and tell her you're sorry.

Isn't that a bit... pathetic?

It's never pathetic to apologize.

We don't do it enough.

That's what this place needs.

That we apologize to one another.

- And move on.
- Mm-hm.

Well...

I'll go see if it'll bite
this afternoon.

But...

Do as I told you.

Worst case scenario,
just leave it at the door.

Right?

- See you tomorrow.
- Yeah.

- Don't stay too late.
- I won't.

- Could you turn it down?
- Sorry. Sure.

Come in.

- Hi.
- Hi.

This is Leo.
He is visiting from Oslo.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Was there something?

I saw Ørnulf, from the paper.

Okay...

He told me that Marius Stenhammar
killed himself.

Leo, wait!

He's his grandfather.

Looking for something?

What the fuck are you doing?

- What are you looking for?
- Nothing.

Put down that fucking gun.
Have you lost it completely?

- Huh?
- Are you involved in Dad's death?

Hm? Are you here
to hide evidence?

Jesus Christ...

What the fuck are you talking about?

Then what are you doing here?

Hm?

I won't hesitate to shoot you.

It's just a tranquilizer gun,
but it will knock you out.

It won't be pretty
what I'll do to you after.

Three... two...

I'm looking for the GPS tracker.

Shocking.

What the hell would you have done
if that beast took your son?

I'd be looking for him.

Tried to find out who did it...

You're just as dumb, naive,
and fanatical as the others.

The others? Who?

Your dad, for instance.

Dragged Daniel into the woods.
"It's not dangerous here!"

"Nothing's dangerous here."

We'll get that hunting permit
tomorrow anyway.

That will be the end of
this goddamn wolf zone.

Forever.

I'll shoot every one of them in
24 hours. I promise you that.

- We'll see about that.
- Yes, we will.

Hi. What's up?

Huh?

- Do you know where Marius lives?
- We're going there now. Come.

Come on.

Come on.

It's down this way.

Let go!

Where are you going?

Let go!

Fuck!

It is confirmed
that it is Daniel Belset's blood.

The Chief Inspector of Innlandet,
Asbjørn Kolomoen confirmed...

There you are.

And you've brought
flowers and...

I'm sorry. I...

I didn't want to bother you...

Bother me? No, no!

Just bother me all you want...

Come on in.

Here.

Welcome to my childhood home.

Take off your jacket.

Just throw it over there.

What the hell,
it's a mess here anyway.

I...

I just wanted to say I'm sorry...

"My condolences on your father.

I'm sorry if what I wrote...

hurt him.

My most heartfelt sympathy, Naim."

You know what?
You're very good at writing.

I can see why you chose to make
a living out of your writing.

You're brilliant at it.

It's...

Mm-hm.

It's fine. You media people
are just doing your job.

Working in media...

And creating conflict, drama,
and fear...

Doesn't matter if the story is true
as long as you sell papers, right?

That's it. That's your job, right?

- Do you want something to drink?
- No, thank you.

- No.
- Are you sure?

- Not a tiny swig?
- No, thank you.

No?

This is the funeral feast, you see.

I like to keep traditions alive.

Well, I just came to offer
my condolences, and...

I understand that you're...

It's okay.

Are you good with computers?

I'm decent.

Wait here. I'm just going to...
I need help with a file.

- Okay.
- Just wait a second.

I know a guy at VG who's a total
geek when it comes to this stuff...

He could probably help...

It's okay.

I'm a bit drunk.

- Let me go, damn it!
- Come on.

- No. Damn it.
- Stand still.

Hold it tighter. Hold it tighter.
Stand still!

Just let me go, for fuck's sake!

It'll be interesting to see if
the wolf takes you as well.

This is a real Insta-moment.

Hey! Hey, come back!

Hey!
