Fortitude (2015–…): Season 1, Episode 3 - #DUPE# - full transcript

Something happened
to Liam.

Is he being flown out?

We have equipment
which could significantly

Improve liam's chances
of recovery.

You were doing something
you shouldn't have.

You went out to be
with another woman.

Listen, Jules...

My god, you were.

She can have you.

If the murder team comes over
from the mainland,

They'll be looking at you,
Hildur, won't they?



Charlie wouldn't give you
the glacier.

The governor is responsible.

Her sheriff killed them both.

Dci Morton is
a forensic expert.

He can provide invaluable
analytical skills.

This is some kind
of ritualistic murder.

What kind of ritualistic murder

Would you say involves
a potato peeler?

But until we have
somebody else in custody,

I'm not letting him walk.

It'll create panic.

I think we can rule out
the grieving widow.

Somebody!

Natalie should've
been there too!



Natalie Yelburton
could be a victim--

Missing, lost, abducted.

Jesus Christ!

I know who did it!

Pick up, Jason!

For christ's sake, Jason,
what have you done?

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.

Markus husekleppe.

Eugene morton.

So what do you make
of fortitude?

Uh... What do I make?

It's a very fine community
with a lot of very nice people.

This is my girlfriend,
shirley.

Hello, hi.

Gene.

Markus wants
to speak with you

Because you're
a detective.

Oh!

I've always been
very interested

In forensic science.

Uh-huh.

I actually teach science
at the school here.

You do?

Mm-hmm.

And chemistry, biology.

Uh-huh.

Physics also.

Markus teaches
all subjects.

I see that.

Up to primary
seven level.

Uh-huh.

Great.

Great.

Shall I tell you something
very interesting

About this place?

Sure.

You cannot die here.

Or be buried here.

Those are the laws.

Because anything
that is buried

Never decays.

There are bodies
in the cemetery

That still have
plague in them.

Plague?

Mm-hmm.

Wow.

This place

Is a forensic
treasure house.

Hmm.

Okay, let's try it again!

Hey, celia.

Has something happened to jason?

Do you know where he is?

No.

He's not here, dan.

Snowmobile's
not out there.

Hi, celia.

The girls
in the living room?

Ah, hanna's there.

I'll talk to her
while you two catch up.

Mind if I sit down?

I'm okay just now.

Well, now I'm not.

Is this about that man
that was murdered?

Why do you say that?

Dan, why else would you
come in here like this?

Do you know where jason is?

He helps a scientist.

What scientist?

A researcher
up at the institute.

What's his name?

Dr. Yelburton.

Natalie yelburton?

Dr. Yelburton's a woman?

Who peels the potatoes?

Sylvie peels
the potatoes.

Does she?

Could you show me
the potato peeler?

It's in the dishwasher.

Would you get it?

I know that jason
tried to extort money

From professor stoddart.

They were seen arguing
in a car park.

Last night, professor stoddart
was murdered in his home.

Thank you.

Good job.

Celia, call me
when you hear from him.

I don't believe this,
dan anderssen.

Promise me that
you'll call me

The moment that
you hear from him.

You know that jason
isn't capable

Of doing anything like that.

Then I have to speak to him.

Why?

Natalie yelburton.

She's missing.

If they're together,
I have to speak to them both.

I'll save that
till jason's home.

Miss?

Can I get the wi-fi password
from you, please?

Um, sure.

The code is "midnightsun"
all in one word.

"midnightsun" in one word.

Where are you from?

Um...

Spain.

Madrid?

Close.

And what are you
running away from?

Everybody here is running away
from something.

I'm not.

You're not?

No.

Can I ask you, um,

Is this the hotel that
bill pettigrew stayed in?

Who?

The fella who was eaten
by a bear.

I think it is.

You think so?

Did you know him?

To serve him coffee,
like I served you.

Yeah?

I know what
you did to me.

The way you told me
what happened to charlie.

I never dreamt anyone would do
what you did to me.

And now I know
you had nothing to do

With the death
of your husband.

You owe me.

I would like the keys
to your husband's office

And your formal permission
to enter it

And search it.

Say it.

I'm giving you permission
to go into my husband's office.

And permission to search.

And permission
to search.

Thank you.

Put this on.

Why?

You're coming with me.

Turn around and put your hands
behind your back.

Where are you taking me?

But how could he
have frostbite?

Are they sure
he has frostbite?

Yes, they're sure.

But how could he?

He went outside.

Liam was sick
and he went outside.

Why?

Why would he do that?

Maybe he called out,
but there was no one at home.

Who knows what he wanted
or what he needed?

But his mother
wasn't there.

And I should have been there,
but I was with you.

Satellite telemetry,
herd movements,

Tagged individuals...

...Stillbirths
and miscarriages.

These are all this season.

Give me the most recent date
and location.

Last radio-tagged individual
was this morning.

Who took the photograph?

Horrific!

"ny."

Natalie yelburton.

The photograph's geo-tagged.

These are institute
research cabins?

I think so.

D8 and d11.

D11 is bigger.

It will sleep two people.

D11 is closer.

Read out the coordinates
for d11.

"gps 805062."

Why do you think
she's not alone?

Turn around and put your hands
behind your back.

Really?

Who's she with?

Is he a flight risk
or a danger to society?

Don't speak to the suspect.

What I hear from you

Is a man who likes the sound
of his own clever voice.

Why do you find my being here
so threatening?

I don't find you
threatening.

Should I find you
threatening?

Are you threatening me?

If I'm a suspect
for what's happened,

It's fucking ridiculous,
don't you agree?

Have you spoken
to a uk lawyer yet?

No.

Have you had
your phone call?

No.

Out of the way.

Call this number.

He can help.

Come here.

Wait here.

Come here.

Come here, do this up.

Keep warm,
don't speak to anyone.

What are you doing?

I don't want him
to suffocate.

What, your rabbit?

No, leave him there for now.

Leave him in here.

You look after him,
don't you?

You wouldn't let anybody
hurt him.

Who's going to hurt him?

Nobody.

That's what I'm saying.

If anybody tried
to take him away from you,

You'd protect him,
wouldn't you?

Move it!

Move it, come on!

Come on!

Come on!

Where are we going?

Dad, what's going on?

We're all right.

Jason's got us
in a bit of trouble.

Come on!

Right, get on.

Are you all right?

Can you tell me
where we're going, please?

Dad?

Eric, take the prisoner
back to the holding cell.

Well, we know where natalie
and jason are.

Come on, let's go.

If you have to use this,
aim for the center of the body.

Don't hesitate.

Don't think
about wounding.

You shoot to stop,
just like you would a bear.

If it kills him,

That's his fault for not
stopping when you told him.

I know.

Center of the body.

Hey, ingrid.

You tell him,

He'll stop.

No shooting necessary.

Jason donnelly's
smarter than a bear.

We set off
at first light.

If the prick in the stupid coat
turns up

Looking to get involved,
I want you to tell him

As politely as possible
to fuck off.

With pleasure.

Excuse me,
does that payphone work?

Yeah.

Not very private
though, is it?

Can I ask you, did somebody
make a call from that phone

Friday night
about ten after 11:00?

The only man that uses
that phone is henry tyson.

He doesn't have
one of them.

He thinks they mess
with your soul.

Hello?

Hello?

Hold on one second.

I'm just going
to step outside.

Hello?

Dci morton?

Oh, vincent.

So how does calling you
help my situation here and now?

Well, if you're honest with me,

If you tell me
the absolute truth,

Then I'm the only one out here
who can help you.

Listen to me,
I don't have any reason

To tell anybody
anything but the truth.

I didn't kill
professor stoddart.

I found him on the floor.

He was already dead.

How did you get into the house?

I saw him through the window
and I smashed the glass doors

Because he wasn't moving.

And he was dead?

I thought he was dead.

I was sure.

Then you called the police?

No, I didn't call anyone.

The police suddenly appeared--
the sheriff, out of nowhere--

And shot the dog.

He handcuffed me
and took me outside.

But he was already
inside the house

When I found
professor stoddart.

Dan was already there?

Yes.

Okay, all right, look, vincent,
I'm going to do everything I can

To get you out of there
as soon as possible.

In the meantime,

Keep your chin up.

Keep my chin up?

Hello?

Trish?

Hi.

Have they...

Have they caught anyone?

They are bringing in
a suspect.

Who?

The man charlie
had the fight with

In the car park.

The miner.

Yeah.

That's good.

How are you doing?

I know this must be
so harrowing for you.

I was okay until I...

...I listened
to charlie's message.

His message?

The last call
he made to me.

He says he's got
something to show me.

He says it's precious.

Trish...

Come here.

Let's get you into bed.

Yeah?

All right?

Trish, come on.

You'll feel much better
in the morning.

No.

No, why?

Please.

No, alfred.

I'm your friend, please.

I've never let you down,
have I?

Please.

I need that
seaplane, man.

Come on.

Come here,
sit down.

All right.

What it is, right?

Okay.

It costs more to hire a seaplane
to fly us to norway

Than I anticipated,
sweet pea.

So apparently,
I've never heard of inflation.

But never mind.

Plan b.

All right?

Trish, we might have found
something incredible

Come out of the ice.

Something ancient.

Something that's going to cause
a hell of a lot of trouble.

To save the message, press two.

To delete the message,
press three.

Message deleted.

Main menu.

To listen to your
saved messages...

You can't come in here.

Pardon?

You can't come in here.

I am in control
of this crime scene.

It is my decision whether
you are allowed in or not.

I have to preserve
the integrity of the...

I'm a policeman,
same as you.

Yes, and I have to preserve
the integrity of the...

And it's petra, right, isn't it?

Yes.

Yes.

I'm here because
professor stoddart

Was a british citizen

And a wicked person
did a terrible thing.

And I want to catch them,
same as you.

I have no other agenda.

This is my job,
and I'm very good at it.

Now, you are in control
of this crime scene,

And I will not question that
for a second.

Not for a second.

However,

I will interpret it for you,

And I promise I will tell you

Absolutely everything
that I see.

Promise.

May I come in?

♪

I see two ski-doos.

Small lights are on inside.

No more.

We have to separate them.

Bring one outside.

It's minus 30.

How are we going to get
anybody outside?

Dan?

Hear that?

Diesel generator.

And it will tell us something
about the professor's state--

Whether he was agitated,
nervous, relaxed...

Well, he was preparing dinner
when he was assaulted.

And he was having red wine,
so he was relaxed and busy.

A pulsing blue led
on the tv.

So he paused the program.

Mm-hmm.

He came down here
to let somebody in.

And he paused the program
when he heard someone.

He walked over there
to let them in.

He paused the program

Because he was not
expecting them to stay.

Time elapsed:

35 hours.

So now we know
what time he was attacked.

No, he knows where.

Harvey knows this town
like a book.

But how will I recognize
your friend?

Oh, you can't miss him,
mrs. Chumley.

He's a pooka.

A pooka?

Is that something new?

No, as I understand it,
that's something very old.

Jason.

Dan?

Throw the rifle away
from the cabin.

Dan, what...?

Throw the rifle away
from the cabin!

Do it now!

Down on your knees.

Cross your hands
behind your head.

What the fuck's going on?

Dan, what's this all about?

Hey!

Get the fuck...!

Ah!

You fucking bastard!

Hands in the air, natalie!

Hands in the air!

Hello, hildur.

Hey, henry.

You like that one?

Oh, I love it.

I love your work.

Without your work,

This place would just be
a nameless block of ice

In the middle of nowhere,
wouldn't it?

Thank you, hildur.

Jesus, that's awful.

Sitting upright.

Fucking awful.

Don't do it on my behalf.

I didn't.

Will you join me?

There you are.

Now...

Ready when you are, guv'nor.

Did you, uh...

Did you see charlie
before he died?

Christ.

Charlie is dead?

Yes, I saw him.

When?

That morning.

What did he say to you?

He wasn't going to let you build
your glacier hotel.

He said that?

That's right.

Why?

Because he'd found something
very, very precious.

Precious.

Like what?

What was it?

Tell me, how much are you
in for, hildur?

I don't know what you mean.

How much have you already
committed to your glacier hotel?

Too much to back out now?

Have you got in over your head,
as they say?

What had charlie found?

He wouldn't tell me.

You know, I had no option
but to sign your exile notice.

I don't make the law,
I just administer it.

You can't die here.

It's against the law.

But as governor of the island,
I have discretionary powers.

I can make an exception
if I see compelling reasons.

Over matters of life and death,
you have discretionary powers.

You're a singularly
powerful woman,

Hildur odegard.

What had charlie found?

He didn't say.

I don't believe you.

This new policeman.

You think he's going
to sniff you out?

You know, nothing buried
in permafrost ever decays.

Disease doesn't die
in the ground.

You're a toxic old man,
aren't you, henry?

So you and your cancer
will leave here,

And you'll die
all alone on the mainland.

Mm-hmm.

Say cheese, hildur.

Bye, henry.

Charlie said he'd found
something precious.

He wanted to tell me about it.

Said it would change
everything.

I told hildur.

Then I went to bed.

I couldn't sleep, though.

I went to find the phone

And listen to charlie...

...Charlie again.

The message had gone.

Gone?

What had he found?

I don't know.

He said he'd have
to rewrite his report.

What report?

Hildur's glacier hotel.

She can't go ahead
without government say-so.

The government is waiting
on charlie's impact report.

Charlie said in his message

That he'd found something
that changed everything.

Okay.

Let's start with wind chimes
and infidelity.

What about them?

What other illicit connections
should I know about?

What are you doing in here?

I have some information I need
to feed into the interrogation.

Information.

Right.

Yeah.

Fuck off.

I beg your pardon?

Oh, I'm sorry.

Is it the accent?

It's the accent.

You. Can. Fuck. Right. Off.

All right.

Let me put it to you this way.

Does she know that you
are fucking trish?

Give that to dan.

And set up
a video feed for me

So I can watch
this interrogation,

Preferably someplace
where I won't be disturbed.

When stoddart
sought police advice

Because someone was trying
to extort money from him,

That wasn't you?

I was attacked.

Assaulted.

Look at that.

He had a hold of me

And that search-and-rescue guy
laid into me.

Jason, can you give us
an account,

With witnesses
if possible,

Of your whereabouts
throughout Friday

And into Friday evening?

No, I don't think I can.

Between 7:00 and 7:30.

I was with my brother ciaran.

In his shop.

Arguing about money.

Bring ciaran donnelly in.

Tell us...

...About this.

That.

Okay.

It's been in a box in a cupboard
in our house for years.

It's an elephant's tooth.

Why are you
carrying it around?

Just found it.

Shoved it in my pocket.

No reason.

This was found
in stoddart's bedroom.

What is this?

It's a diagram
of a mammoth's jaw bone.

Okay, okay.

I showed that tooth to stoddart
in the car park.

I told him I'd found it
in the ground.

He got annoyed when I wouldn't
just hand the thing over.

It got a bit shovey.

And that is absolutely
everything that happened.

So this... This thing...

It's a fake?

He said if I'd found that
on the island,

Then it wasn't mine to sell.

And he believed you?

Did he offer you money?

Did he think it was real?

Is this what got him killed?

Natalie?

Vincent?
Follow me.

Are you okay?

Why is he in custody?

Madam, I'm sorry...

What is going on?

Stoddart's been murdered.

Are you having an affair
with jason donnelly?

Hildur, it's not an affair.

This is fortitude.

It gets cold, we get close.

It's uncomplicated.

Are you all right?

What?

Yes, yes, I am.

I loved charlie too.

He was lovely.

He was a lovely man.

This is just... Brutal.

Jason didn't do this.

Do you know that for a fact?

No.

But I was with him.

He was just... Ordinary.

He's just an ordinary man.

I want you to take this
to your laboratory

And I want you
to run tests on it,

And I want you to tell me what
kind of animal it came from,

How old it is,

And whether or not
it came from here.

So I can go?

Okay.

You can go.

Natalie.

Listen, you don't tell anyone
about that tooth.

And when you have results,
you bring them to me, all right?

Only me.

Because if there's a mammoth
found on the island,

Then I have to handle
that information.

You do understand this?

Right.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I was just wondering
if your little boy...

If they know how long
he's going to be in here

Before he's better.

It's liam.

Liam.

We couldn't get properly
introduced before.

I'm henry tyson.

I know who you are.

When my husband and me decided
we were going to move out here,

Liam got really excited
about seeing polar bears,

So his dad bought him
one of your books.

My book?

Yeah.

Liam will be chuffed
to meet you.

Chuffed.

That's lovely.

Well, I'm chuffed
to meet you both.

You don't have
any grounds

For continuing
to keep me in custody,

And it's probably
in contravention

Of the human rights act,
to which I'm sure

You are a signatory.

You can go.

Okay.

Now?

Yes.

I'm sorry you've had
such a horrible time.

No, that's okay.

I understand.

Thank you.

Thuk!

Ciaran donnelly isn't
in his house or in his shop.

We've checked all the bars
in town and nobody's seen him.

Okay, thanks, ingrid.

We'll find him first thing.

Henry.

Natalie?

Sorry.

Sorry.

I'm dci morton.

I'm here investigating the death
of your boss independently,

On behalf of his widow
and the british government.

You're working
with dan anderssen?

No.

Well, because then I wouldn't
be working independently.

So do you think
it's a mammoth's tooth?

I don't know yet.

Well, what if it is?

What?

A mammoth's tooth.

What if it is a mammoth's tooth?

What are the implications?

You mean could this be
a possible reason

That someone might want
to kill charlie stoddart?

Maybe.

Who?

I don't know.

Well, if it turns out that
that's what it is...

Then please call me,
and only me.

Okay?

Thank you.

I just wondered if I could
come in and talk to you.

This has just been
a living nightmare

Since the moment
I stepped off the plane.

Maybe I should
just go home.

Maybe you should.

I couldn't.

I can't abandon charlie's...

He knew this place was fierce,
merciless.

It's neither good nor bad.

Vivid.

And unsullied.

And wild.

Mr. Tyson?

Mr. Tyson?

Mr. Tyson?

Henry?

What? What?

What?

Hi.

I'm dci morton
from the london met, right here.

I'm right here.

Here's my card.

I'll just come back
when you've sobered up.

Your little boy
was unwell.

He was ill.

Now you must be
strong for him.

It was our fault.

You feel guilty.

Guilt connects things
that aren't connected.

You really need
to be strong for liam,

Not full of hate for yourself.

For me.

I felt so ashamed.

I'd just left him on his own.

He could have frozen to death
because of me.

Because of us.

It was irresponsible
and he could have died,

And for what?

Sheriff?

Can I buy you a drink?

No.

Let me buy you one.

All right.

They say the mescal worm
is an aphrodisiac.

If a man and woman
eat the worm together,

Then their night
will be a delirium

Of ecstasy and passion.

They say that, huh?

They also say that

It's a ferocious irritant
of the urinary tract.

You're not married,
are you?

That's right, I'm not.

And you don't have too much
of a life, do you?

Do you?

Nope.

It can make men very...

Focused.

Dangerous.

You might be right.

To your health.

Don't point the gun!

Liam!

Do something!

You spoke to my colleague.

Do you remember?

I'm the inevitable
consequence.

She thinks you killed
her husband.

Has a psychotic episode
in a stranger's house.

I think frank sutter is the man

They should be looking at.

He is violent and unstable.
