Fortitude (2015–…): Season 1, Episode 5 - Episode #1.6 - full transcript

While Morton uncovers new information about the death of Billy Pettigrew, Hildur makes a heart-breaking discovery. Another gruesome event occurs in Fortitude.

Didn't know him,
never met him,
didn't kill him.

Morton: Can you tell me how your
t-shirt got covered in blood?

My little boy was sick.

Dan: Something terrible
happened to him.

Jules: Sweetie, it's all right,
calm down.
Frostbite?

Dan:
In the little boy's bedroom.

Covered in blood.

Morton: I found it in
stoddart's study, but the scan

Has pettigrew's name on it.

When I asked you if he
had stayed at that hotel,

You blushed, like
you're doing right now.



You knew him, though.

Pettigrew's
the reason he's here.

The little boy
was there

When charlie stoddart
was murdered.

He was right there.

Miss.

Be-be-be careful.

Frostbite could cause
serious damage

To your ears.

Frostbite really could.

Take hold of this.

Uh... I-I...

You have this;
put it on.

I only live up there.
Uh, and you can

Put it through
the letterbox...
No. I'm okay.

Hey, hey, hey. Eat.

(lao grunts softly)

Oh, doctor, I...

(whining)
you know,
years ago...

My mother used to say
to me, she'd say,
quiet.

"in this world, elwood,
you must be"--

She always called
me elwood--

"in this world,
elwood,

(whines quietly)
you must be
oh, so smart..."

(wind whistling)

(movie continues indistinctly)

...I recommend
pleasant.
(lao whines, barks)

Quiet.
And you may

(lao panting)

Lao, stay there.

(wind rushing)

(lao whining, barking)
what's your name?

(lao growling)
sit there.

Here you go.
Is that better?

What's all this?

Have you not
been well?

Oh, you're
absolutely freezing.

Will you tell me your name?

(wind howling)

What were you doing
out there in the cold?

Oh, your feet.

(rubbing feet
rapidly)

Dear me.

Your feet are stone cold.

Markus:
Mr. Sutter?

Hi...

Mr....?
Husekleppe.

Yeah.
Yeah. We have met.

Parents evening.

You were there--

In spirit
if not in person.

I'm liam's
teacher. Eh?

Yeah, I know
who you are.
Mm-hmm.

He's a very bright boy.

Yeah.
Yeah.

Very talkative.

Friendly.
Helpful.

Yeah.

Takes after his mother,

I guess.
Probably.

Uh-huh.

I need to get on home.

I hear he has the mumps.

That's right, yeah.

I need to...

(quietly):
Yeah.

Hey.
(sniffs, exhales)

(gasps)

(gags)

Okay, you're bleeding.

Where are you
bleeding from?

Liam, tell me what happened.

Liam, are you hurt?

Liam...

What has happened to you?

Liam, are you hurt?

Son, tell me
what happened.

Are you hurt?

Frank:
I don't understand.

Where is the
bleeding?

It's okay.
It's okay, liam.

It's okay.

I can't find anything.
I can't...

Can't understand.

I threw up.

Oh, it's okay, son.

Liam:
Where's mum?

She's, um...

(panting):
She'll be home in a minute.

Door open, dad.

Yeah.

(panting softly)

(wind whistling)

Petra...

Can you hold
this for me...

Right up there
like that?

Just like that?

Okay, so the potato
peeler is used first.

And that's these
superficial wounds here.

That's why there's not

A great amount
of blood.

And the stabbing arc
is quite short.

Then he picks up a knife
and he slashes,

Closer, downward.

Like this.

Dan:
And finally, a cleaver.

And that's what causes
the blood to spray.

Right.

Which is consistent
with the assailant

Sitting astride the man...

And hacking...

Downwards and...

What?

I don't know.

I can see something
strange, I think.

There's something inside him,

Something tiny.

What do you see?

A foreign object.

A fragment--
stuck to the lower left rib.

The underside
of the rib.

Can't see it.

Would you pull it out, please?

At first I thought
it was a bone fragment, but...

It's a fingernail.

From a child?

Allerdyce:
Hyperbaric oxygen treatment
can help damaged cells recover.

Any tissue in liam's feet

That can be saved will be
as long as he is in there.

And what happens
if we wake him up?

Just long enough
to speak to him?

Allerdyce:
When he becomes fully
conscious, the pain will be

Unbearable.

Well, then,
that's not an option.

Morton:
We could leave the child alone

And learn nothing,

Or we can wake him up,
and we get some answers.

I think we have
to wake him up.

Yes.

But not before
I talk to the mother.

No. No!

No.

You listen to me.

Someone must have
put that there.

That is not him.

I'm sorry, jules.

No!

(panting)

Don't touch me.
Come on.

You-you get off me!

Somebody's
done this to him.

(breathes loudly)
jules, look at me.

(jules exhales loudly)

Liam's going
to be okay.

I won't let any harm
come to your son.

You promised me that before.

Dan:
We have to wake him.

No. Fuck you!

Leave him alone!

Fuck you!
Leave him alone!

(crying):
You leave him alone, dan!

(crying)

(slow, rhythmic beeping)

Hey, sweetie.

It's mummy.

Mummy's here.

Are you awake?

Liam?

Rapid low-voltage eeg.

He's beginning to wake now.

I'm going to up his painkiller
by five mill.

Liam, can you hear me?

Mum?

Hey. It's okay, sweetheart.

You're safe, and the
doctor's looking after you.

I want you to
talk to somebody,

Okay?

Answer the questions.

Liam?

How are you feeling?

So, I'm gonna ask
you some questions.

You think you
can follow me?

Liam? I think he's drifting.

Allerdyce:
Give it a moment.

Be quick please.
I will. I will.

Liam,

Were you with someone
that night?

No.

No?

How did you get across town?

Walk.

Alone?

Please.

Okay.

Yes.

Liam, can you remember what
happened in the kitchen?

Onions.

And do you remember...?

Doggy.

Doggy.

Feet hurt.

Thwack!

They're all wet!

Thwack!

Stop this.
My feet, mum.

(grunts softly)
my feet!

My feet are burning!

You have to stop
this now!

Hildur:
Wait.
My hands!

Wait. Wait.

Thwack!

Morton:
Liam?

Liam, what happened?

My hands!

My hands!

I put my hands inside the man!

Uh, let me out!
(hitting glass)

Margaret?
Let me out!

Enough.
Let me out.

Uh, let me out!

All right, put him back.

Let me out!
Let me out!

Mum!
Jules:
What's happening?

Do something.
My feet are burning!

What's happening?!
Let me out!

Help! Let me!
Please. For god's sake,
get him out of there!

Let me out!

My feet are burning!

They're burning.

Let me out!

Let me out!
Let me out!

Let me out.

Allerdyce:
He's stable.

It's all right, sweetie.

(inhales sharply)

I'm here.

(inhales loudly)
I'm here.

Jules (sighing):
I'm here.

How can she ever...

Cope with this?

She can't.

Charlie must have...

He must have brought him in
from the cold, and then...

Poor charlie.

(ronnie sniffles, sighs)

(panting)

(sniffles)

Dad?

What?

I'm very tired.

I know... Pet.

Here. Come here.
Give me a hand.

(sighs)

I can't get me big fat fingers
in here. Look.

(groaning and panting)

Look.

You see these?
See these two wires?

Uh-huh.
The black and
the red one.

Yup.
I want you to touch
them together for me.

Why?

'cause it'll make the
engine start. Come on.

Can't you do it?

No. I can't, pet.

Because you've hurt your hand?

No. I haven't.

You have. I know you have.
Carrie, will you
do as I tell you?

Touch the two wires
together, please.

No.
Carrie!

No!
You'll do as
you're fucking told!

Do as you're fucking told,
touch the wires together,

And we'll get out
of here. Please.

(crying):
No, dad,
I don't want to anymore.

I want to go home.

I want to go back to school.

I want to see liam.

I'm only ten, dad.

I'm only ten.

I want my mum.

Oh, my baby, come here. Here.

You're my baby.

I'm sorry.

(carrie cries)

I am so sorry.

(carrie cries)

(crying):
Oh, carrie,
I'm so sorry.

Everything I've done,
I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry.

You're my baby.
I love you.

(indistinct muttering)

(wind howling)

(indistinct muttering)

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.
I love you.

(crying)

(indistinct muttering)

(loud breathing)

(crying)
I'm sorry.

(loud crying)

I'm sorry.

Please.

(engine starts)

(crying and muttering)

Come.

(engine stops)

(garbled radio transmission)

Your leg still hurts?

Yeah, a little bit.

Listen, trish.

(wind whistling)

We have the murderer for sure.

Sutter.

The search
and rescue guy?

No, not him.

His son.

His son?

Yes, his little boy-- he did it.

Little boy?

Yes, he's ten years old.
He did it.

A ten-year-old child?

Yes.

A child killed charlie?
Yes, trish.

That's what
you're telling me now?!

(wind howling)

How do a mum and dad cope
with a thing like that?

I don't know.
I mean, how does a
little boy have...?

Sorry, markus.

(blows her nose,
sniffles)

Have does he even
have the strength?

Well, from experience,
I'll tell you.

Children can be
surprisingly strong.

A ten-year-old boy
having a tantrum...

Tantrum?

Well... Struggling, you know.

(beep, register chirps)

Hello, henry.

Morning, shirley.
Madness has
its own strength.

There's an offer on
the blue swan vodka this week.

I don't want it.

Shirley:
Sorry.
So,

This child.

Ten years old.

It's a boy I know well.

What about him?

Well, it transpires
is the killer.

I don't know.

You run out of words,

Out of thoughts.

What child?
I know.

Beyond human
understanding, but

That is what happened.

Liam sutter, ten years old.

Hacked a grown man to death.

I try to teach them that
life is a precious thing.

A gift.

Oh, hey.

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Hey, what are you saying
about liam sutter?!

What's he saying?!

(footsteps approaching)

(beeping)

(buzzer sounds)

Frank.

I understand that you were
telling me the truth

About where the blood came from.

We found corroborating evidence.

Liam lost a fingernail,

And it was

Inside stoddart's body.

Liam told us
what he did.

He told us all
in front of his mother.

Stop it.

I am more sorry
than I know how to say.

Frank.
Then stop it. Stop talking.

You know...

You know this
is all shit.

Open this.

(beeping)

(wind whistling)

Julia. I heard about your son.

I'm s-so sorry.

Is there anything
I can do to help?

Take this.

Can I help you?

A drink.

What?

Have you got a drink?
A drink.

Here.

I've lost him.

♪

Jules.

Jules.

Man (over computer):
Questions of motive don't even
enter into it, do they?

No, no.

This is a profound psychosis.

I mean, he takes
the chopping block

And he smashes it down
on stoddart's head.

And then hacking

And-and stabbing and...

Relentless.

I mean, I-inhuman savagery.

From a ten-year-old kid.

Where does that come from?
I mean, w-where?

Well, this is not something
we're qualified to answer, gene.

I guess not.

Okay.

Pettigrew.

Yeah, pettigrew.

(sighs)
they took the gpr scan

But they left the folder.

And on the folder
is written "max 2.5."

Yup.

Nobody in technical
resources has

Any idea what has
a maximum value of 2.5.

It's a name.

Somebody's name

In the research center.
That's what it is.

Excellent.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

You do know they put you
in the dead man's room?

So?

I was just thinking--

Get some candles,
close the curtains,

Have yourself a little séance.

And ask pettigrew

What the fuck it was he found
before they killed him.

Good-bye.

(soft chuckle)

(sighs)

(seabirds screeching)

(footsteps approaching)

Sheriff.

Elena.

You attacked frank.

No, no, I was
trying to protect...
No, shut up.

Shut up.
You attacked him.

I'm brought in.
Questioned.

I'm asked
about pettigrew.

Stop. Stop.
Just stop.

I just came to say
one thing to you.

Stay the fuck away from me.

Forget it.

You're bad.
You're a bad sheriff.

Markus:
Feed a fever, starve a cold. Mm?

Shirley:
Mm.
(spoon rattles)

When I was a boy,

My mother used to make
this soup for me, shirley.

Cream of chicken broth

With little herb dumplings.

I used to enjoy being ill.

Just for the soup.

Mmm.

Utterly delicious.

Sit up, honey.

Sit up, please.

Shirley?

No, thank you.

Markus, I can't.

Well, we're gonna
have to do something

Before you fade away
to nothing at all.

(distant footsteps approaching)

(knocking)

Yup?

Is this room 2.5?

Uh-huh.

Max. Hey.

You lost this.

That's... That's not mine.
Look,

Before you go down
this sort of hopeless road of

Self-incrimination,
I should tell you

That pettigrew
made the scan

That was in this folder.

Now the scan is gone
and pettigrew is dead

And I think you know
who took it.

And I would suggest
you tell me

Or you're probably
gonna wind up dead, too.

(drops tool)

Yuri lubimov.

Who is he and what does he do?

He's the head of security
at the russian mining town.

Vukobejina.

He left to go back there today.

And are you frightened
of mr. Lubimov?

Yes, I am.

I'll take care of him.

Thank you, max.

You see, tavrani, I think
all this tourist tat

Is a smoke screen
for what you really are.

And what is it that I really am
in your eyes, my friend?

You're a powerful man

With powerful connections

To the old world of
darkness and grudge.

Say it.

I think you are a shaman.

(laughs)

Henry, I'm... I'm just
a stuffer of dead beasts.

A peddler of tat.
A cigar store indian.

I can't fix your cancer,
henry. I'm sorry.

Not my cancer that
needs fixing.

It's not?

It's liam sutter.

The little boy?

I believe he needs very
powerful protection, tavi.

Something terrible
has happened.

His young mother in a state
of shock and disintegration.

Something is attacking

Them, I fucking know it.

And I want you to build them

One of those things
to protect them.

What things?

Oh, it's like a golem. Uh...

You told me all about it once.

You mean a tupilaq.

That's it.

A tupilaq.

If I was a shaman,

I would tell you that
there is no such thing anymore.

If I was a shaman,

I would tell you
that to complete a tupilaq

According to all
the old rituals,

The creature must be
finally baptized

In the blood of a murderer.

Do you follow me?

Otherwise it will
have no power.

Now... Where would a shaman

Lay his hands on half a pint
of murderer's blood, hmm?

(footsteps approaching)

Morton:
May I join you?

This is a 20-year-old

Mossbank single malt whiskey.

Distilled on the banks of...

Dumfries and galloway

Since 1788.

And they have it here.

In fortitude.

Incredible.

Sláinte.

(soft grunt)

I've ordered
the lutefisk.

Good choice.

Well, I thought I'm leaving
in a couple days time.

Might as well find out the
truth about the lutefisk.

Have you ever shot a man?

Not with that.

(short chuckle)

(chuckles)
the lutefisk.

Thank you.

The truth about the lutefisk...

Mm-hmm?

...Is you should never
eat the lutefisk.
(silverware clatters)

(short chuckle)

(grunts)

Ugh.
(plate slides away)

(slow, rhythmic beeping)

Liam.

Baby.

Can you hear me?

Can you hear me, liam?

Baby.

You don't know me.
My name's elena.

Um...

It was my fault.

What happened.

Not your dad's fault.

It was my fault.

I'm so sorry, liam.

I'm so sorry.

It was christmas day
when we landed in scotland.

Prestwick.

And there were six
of us, all fbi,

And they had a little coach
to take us to this town.

And when we got to
the town, lockerbie,

A lot of the houses
were still burning.

And we were each appointed
a local constable.

The fella that was appointed
to me, his name was stephen.

And we were given radios
and maps and...

A huge sack filled
with polythene body bags.

So stephen and I, we set
out across this moor.

Every piece of anybody
we found...

We picked up,

I photographed it,

And he bagged it.

And we did that
all day, all night

Until our
torches ran out.

And then we just sat
there in the dark,

Surrounded by 18...

Full body bags.

But there was not a whole person

In any one of them.

And stephen said,

"why could they not
have just stayed up there?

Why did they have
to come down?"

He said, "why could they not
have just stayed up there?

"flying around the lovely world,

Forever."

This is about pettigrew,
isn't it?

I know
what you're doing.

Psychology.

You're using psychology.

(beeps)

Henry:
Billy pettigrew wasn't eaten
by a bear.

He was murdered.

Now professor charlie stoddart
has been murdered as well.

The governor is responsible.

Her sheriff killed them both.

(beeps)

(clicks tongue)

(sighs)

(chuckles)

Someone called in,

Said they'd seen a man walking
out of town on his own

Along the coastline,

Without a rifle.

Bear season.

Time of year
when...

The sea ice
is mostly gone

And the bears are unable
to find seals

So they're crazy with hunger.

I drove slowly out of town
along the coast road

Looking for the missing man.

After ten miles, I turned back

Because nobody could've got
that far in this temperature.

On the way back,

I saw a huge bear
down on the foreshore

Dragging its kill
across the-the rocks

And the-the ice floes.

I knew at once
what this was going to be.

I pulled over,

Took my rifle,

Ran down onto the foreshore.

The bear...

Was leaning over its kill.

And...

And in the split second
I took aim,

I could see
that what it was tearing apart

Wasn't a seal.

It was a man.

The bear was disemboweling

And eating billy pettigrew.

And pettigrew...

Was screaming.

Inhuman screams.

I shot pettigrew
through the head.

No witness.

No motive.

No crime.

A mercy killing.

Okay.

Except...

...I don't believe
a fucking word of it.

When was this carpet changed?

What?

When was the carpet replaced?

Why do you change
a carpet?

Because there is

Like red wine or something.

But why do you change

I-I don't know.

I do.

If the stain is blood.

Pettigrew's blood.
